"You Are There": Inhabited Television and the Perils of Pompeii
Keywords: participatory media, interactive television, online broadcasting, shared virtual worlds
In the mid-1950s CBS television in the United States ran a television programme which related historical events in the style of contemporary television journalism. The series was called "You Are There" and Walter Cronkite anchored a telecast in which correspondents reported on the Salem Witchcraft Trials, the Gettysburg Address and the Fall of Troy. For those fascinated by trivia of television history, the show's best aspect was perhaps its closing lines: "What sort of a day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times . . . and you were there."
What I want to sketch here is a variant of this idea utilising a media form that my colleagues and I call Inhabited Television. This I believe modestly has real potential for collaborative learning, for new kinds of museum experiences, and even for the reinvention of one variant of true public service broadcasting.
My company Illuminations has been working with the University of Nottingham, BT and others over the past four years researching Inhabited Television, which in essence combines traditional broadcasting and networked 3D shared virtual worlds. My paper outlines our work with Inhabited Television, from The Mirror in early 1997 to the recent experiment Avatar Farm. And I want to speculate on how this form might be used in education and in museums and on television to achieve that idea of "You Are There" in relation to history and to art, in our new research project Pompeii.
One particularly powerful advantage of Inhabited Television and other such new media forms at the conjunction of broadcasting and online is the centrality of participation, offering the potential for collective learning and communal creation with audiences.
My perspective is that of an independent producer operating in broadcasting and in online and convergent production. Illuminations is a group of three production companies, the first of which was founded in 1982 when Channel 4 Television began to commission independent producers. We specialise in content production about the arts, ideas, science and digital culture.
The interest of Illuminations in projects that bring together broadcasting with network systems is in part to seek new, deeper and different relationships with those who have traditionally been thought of as audiences. At one level these relationships can simply provide feedback to assist us as producers to make better, more effective and more useful programmes. But we are also looking towards systems in which users create content and shape in direct ways the evolution of a programme or a media system. Hence our claims for the social potential of such participatory media.
The Context for Convergence
Fundamental to any discussion of the questions explored here is an understanding of the paradigms on which the current communications systems are founded. Telecommunications is essentially a one-to-one system that is distributed across an extensive network of nodes, each of which can connect directly to each of the others. It is also non-hierarchical, i.e. no node has an inherent superiority or advantage when it comes to offering information to one or many other users of the system.
Broadcasting by contrast is a one-to-many system, which is highly centralised with communication being essentially one way from the centre out to the periphery. Such a structure is inherently hierarchical, with the power concentrated at the centre, and with the "receivers" having little or no opportunity to contribute to the communication process.
As currently configured, and largely because of its historical development, the Internet remains closer to the telecommunications paradigm. But there are powerful corporate forces which would be pleased to see its present many-to many structure shift more closely towards a one-to-many framework in the future, not least because the revenue models for such a system are clearer and longer established.
Our involvement with the potential and the problems of convergence began with the series The Net, created by Illuminations Television for BBC2. The first programme in this magazine series about computers and networks went on the air in April 1994. I claim this show to be the first to include an e-mail address in the closing credits. But such was our knowledge and sophistication with e-mail in those far-off times, we managed to mis-spell the e-mail address, omitting the crucial @ symbol. Nonetheless within hours of its broadcast and at a time when e-mail use was far less widespread than it is today, some 600 messages had streamed in - many of them delighting both in the fact that we had mis-spelled the address, and in the sender's triumph in being able to send us a mail even so. Most television programmes attract at best a dozen inconsequential letters, but these were thoughtful and engaged, knowledgeable, concerned and even passionate. It was a kind of Pauline moment for me, the beginning of a unique and influential dialogue with the programme's viewers.
As The Net evolved, more and more online components were used to enhance the programme's transmission. A Web site provided extensive further information, including extended interviews with those featured in the programmes, additional resources, competitions, and detailed feedback. Viewers were engaged in chat and forum dialogues. Such services helped the production team shape The Net in significant ways, and the torrent of external commentary was mostly heartening and only rarely discouraging. The show improved directly because of this rich feedback.
The Mirror
Inhabited Television was first developed for the third series of The Net in early 1997, when Illuminations collaborated closely with BT Laboratories at Martlesham, with Sony and with the BBC to extend the online elements of the project in an original way. Developing their own extensive work with shared virtual spaces, BT Laboratories built The Mirror, six inter-linked virtual worlds, mostly in VRML 2.0, for operation with Sony's Community Place server and browser software. Each of the worlds related to one of the themes of the six programmes in that series of The Net, such as Space or Play, and took its visual style and its activities from the theme.
Viewers of the programmes registered for The Mirror across the Web and received through the post a CD-ROM containing the graphics for the worlds and also the Community Place browser. Using this the viewer could connect with the server running the shared components of The Mirror and participate in collective discussion and collaborative activities. The Net television programmes carried occasional recorded reports on these events. During its seven weeks of operation, The Mirror attracted more than 2,000 registered users and at the end of the world party was inhabited by approximately 80 users simultaneously.
What we learnt very quickly - as have many others in this business - is that the "Field of Dreams" principle (after the Kevin Costner movie), "if you build it, they will come", is not in itself sufficient. However attractive the space, however engaging the collaborative activities, entry and social use will remain at a low level unless a programme of activities is organised to attract, at specified times, a critical mass of users and to provide a focus for social interaction. In other words, the space needed to be scheduled much like a television channel.
Events which we organised for The Mirror included a debate about the future of the book, a quiz show, an opening for a virtual art exhibit, a mock wedding, and a final end of the world party, during which the server was switched off as the project was closed down. All of these provided peaks of attendance for the spaces.
The other key element that contributed to the success of The Mirror, much as in real life, was the provision of regular "hosts" for the space. These needed to be frequent visitors who spent a significant amount of their time in the world, and whom users could have some reasonable expectation of encountering when they logged on. These hosts would greet new entrants, introduce people to each other, point out activities and generally help people around. More than this, however, over time they became the core of the community of the world, encouraging people to return and beginning to develop the particular language and culture of The Mirror. Needless to say, they were the saddest to see it turned off after seven weeks - although a number of relationships begun virtually have continued in the real world - including at least one marriage and one recently born child.
"Heaven and Hell - Live"
The project Heaven and Hell - Live was conceived to develop many of the ideas initiated in "The Mirror", but to work with live broadcasting. Continuing the collaboration between Illuminations, BT and Sony, this was a live television broadcast for Channel 4 Television which was created entirely from within a shared virtual world - and we think it was the first such anywhere in the world.
Heaven and Hell - Live was created primarily for a single live broadcast in a late-night slot. Again participants - conceived of as lost souls (as indeed, unintentionally, many were) - registered in advance and received through the post a CD-ROM on which was the worlds and the browser. The broadcast used conventional television technology and an outside broadcast director to mix video and audio feeds sourced by six PCs running the system. Each of the PCs operated as a camera avatar, able to move within the world to offer images to the director.
The broadcast itself, done on an experimental basis in the early morning on August 19, 1997, took the form of a quiz show. A host and two competitors were located in the studio and some 150 participants joined the worlds across the Web. Each of the two competitors was meant to collect lost souls as they went along, and the intention was that the souls themselves - the participants who had entered across the Web - should be able to assist or hinder these competitors with the various games and tasks set them.
On (rare) occasions this was very effective, and when it worked it was very exciting - for example, Katie Puckrick, one of the competitors, sought help with answers to the quiz and received many alternatives from which she chose the correct answer. But problems with the technology, structure and conception of the show meant that the experience was both exciting and frustrating for all those involved. Nonetheless it was a real technical success, with the broadcast staying on air for a full 50 minutes, with some 150 users in the space pretty much throughout the broadcast, and with the fundamentally anarchic and chaotic transmission apparently watched by some 200,000 viewers.
As we analysed the event we carefully considered whether choosing the television form of the game show was appropriate. It seemed necessary to provide a tight temporal structure for the broadcast, and also that to use a familiar television form which might help counteract the strangeness as television which would be apparent during the broadcast.
Might it have been better to have developed something built more on a sporting analogy, with different events happening in different areas of the space, so that the broadcast visited them from time to time much as coverage of, say, an athletics meeting roams around field and track events in a stadium? Or could we have begun to develop a spatially dispersed narrative within the world?
What is clear is that with "Heaven and Hell" we failed, partly from scheduling exigencies, to develop any kind of community amongst the lost souls. We did not develop relationships with and amongst them, we did not provide hosts to explain the space and the rules of the game show, and we did not even rehearse in any systematic way with the souls - and yet we then expected them to play along with a complex set of our rules which we had hardly explained. Any future project would have to have much more respect for the participants - and also, almost certainly, work with less of a top-down model (i.e. rules imposed from outside) and more of a bottom-up understanding in which the participants are properly involved in conceiving and developing activities for broadcast.
Out of this World
The third experiment with Inhabited Television took place in Manchester in September 1998 as part of the ISEA (Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts) conference and arts festival. Working primarily with Nottingham University, Illuminations mounted a simulation of a broadcast, but this time shown only in a theatre to a small audience.
Operating within the eRENA research consortium, with funding from the European Commission's ESPRIT long-term research programme, the team set itself the goals of creating a coherent and structured "broadcast" which would avoid the problems afflicting Heaven and Hell - Live. A different platform was also used: Nottingham's own MASSIVE-2 system that afforded different forms of functionality, including real-time audio communication and a far greater degree of camera control.
A much stripped-down world was built, which consisted on a linear games arena, apparently marooned in outer space. Two teams of four, each with a leader, competed against each other to be the first to reach a spaceship which would take them away from this arena before it exploded.
The simple design of both world and characters was one aid to clarity and structure. But far more important was the introduction of systems for controlling both the movement of the characters (Taking away their autonomy for limited periods) and the four virtual "cameras". Each of the cameras was still controlled by a camera person, but he or she could pre-programme smooth movements, find particular vantage points or lock on to an avatar and follow it through the space. These new controls facilitated a much more coherent "broadcast", which was then judged - and often harshly so - by the watching audience.
It was apparent that the audience for the linear "broadcast" now accepted this as a substitute for television, but just because they did so, they expected from it the narrative and entertainment values of the older medium. In part because of a lack of preparation time, these values were largely absent, but now that the technical problems appeared solved these needed to be the next ones to be tackled.
Avatar Farm
Questions of creating compelling content not just for those immersed in the environment but also for those watching the linear broadcast are central to the most recent Inhabited Television project, Avatar Farm. Set within four fantastical electronic worlds, Avatar Farm aimed to create, both for participants and for those watching a linear webcast, an engaging story and believable characters. Professional actors and members of the public took on the personae of avatars and engaged in a semi-scripted, tightly plotted fable involving gods and tricksters, innocents abroad, lizards and purple tufts. The settings and some of those taking part were carried over from Ages of Avatar, a collaborative project with Sky's television channel.
Avatar Farmwas mounted utilising Nottingham's Massine-3 collaborative virtual environment system. Each of four 20-minute episodes was mixed as television and webcast, but every 3-D detail of all the events within the widely dispersed worlds was also captured, along with the audio. Indeed during the episodes, fully 3-D playbacks of earlier events were triggered and viewed in the worlds.
Avatar Farm felt like an exciting step forward for Inhabited Television. There was (at times) a sense of a developing narrative and of characters with whom one could feel empathy. There was a sense of being drawn into an imaginative world, even if one was only watching the linear broadcast mix. And certainly a complex, multi-stranded plot developed across the worlds and amongst the participants which was surprising and genuinely shaped by the participants.
So what we now want to do is to take these ideas, but to turn them around in the sense of starting with a television format and then applying the ideas of Inhabited Television to this format. And our interest is in creating some kind of cross-genre mix of You Are There, 1900 House and Walking with Dinosaurs - and setting it all (and here perhaps, finally and slightly tenuously, is the link with the History of Art) in Pompeii just before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79.
So Pompeii is conceived initially as a four-part television series recreating - with strikingly detailed computer graphics - everyday life in the Roman town. In the television films, these graphics are combined with evocative film images of Pompeii today, of its ruins and frescoes, and of the fragments of everyday existence - a bowl of eggs, a plate of walnuts, a calcified bread roll - preserved amongst the volcanic ash.
The aim would be to provide the most detailed imaginative recreation that television has attempted of daily life during the Roman Empire. The films would be scrupulously grounded in the records and images of Pompeii, but they would also make legitimate use of the numerous accounts of daily life throughout the Empire during the mid first century AD. The films would introduce the audience to historical characters from the age - the aspiring politician C. Julius Polybius and his friends of ill repute; the wealthy and beautiful Julia Felix and her immaculate good taste; the precocious six-year-old benefactor of the Temple of Isis, N. Popidius Celsinus; and the prostitute known as Zmyrina the Exotic.
And the films are intended to take us right into the world of Pompeii inside the homes of both rich merchants and struggling bakers; to the private and public gardens and cemeteries; to the shops and markets, and the seats of local government; to the temples and places of entertainment.
As I am sure some of you know far better than I, in the last twenty years Pompeii studies have flourished, even as the ruins themselves have been rapidly decaying. Amongst much original work of great interest, that undertaken by Paul Zanker and others has examined the arrangement and appearance of domestic space, and the uses of the various rooms of the Pompeian house. Researchers have also become fascinated with the other private spaces of the city.
At the same time, following the pioneering work of Jerome Carcopino and others, there has been extensive investigation into the private lives of the Roman world, and particularly - as in so many areas of recent historiography - into questions of gender and sexuality, and understandings of class and race. Pompeii would draw heavily on this academic work and, for the first time, make it available in a vivid form to a broad audience.
I am also much taken by the writings of Keith Hopkins, and in particular the opening chapter of his recent "A World Full of Gods", in which he sends two intrepid time travellers back to Pompeii at just about our chosen moment, and manages to combine rigorous scholarship with an engaging, if slightly cheesy narrative. Such is the aim of our Pompeii, both on the television screen and in the parallel Inhabited Television applications.
For Pompeii of course is conceived with Inhabited Television as integral, so that alongside the television films either the Web or a local area network could allow viewers themselves individually to explore the streets and homes of the city, to meet and converse with the central characters of the series and to take part in their day-to-day activities. This parallel application of Pompeii could run at home with a DVD player and on the web, and it could also be the focus of a location-based attraction, in for example a museum.
What are the perils of a project like this? Well, finding the money for a start and to date we have modest development funding from the MEDIA II programme, together with strong interest from Channel 4. But while I'm confident we can create the narratives for both television and the participatory components on the web or elsewhere, the obvious complaint will be, "It's the graphics, stupid".
My hope and expectation here is that the Temporal Links capability of Nottingham's MASSIVE-3 platform is the key element here. We can record and playback fully 3-D recordings of a virtual world, and we can use these recordings for post-production, including the insertion of far more detailed textures and surfaces. The avatars too can be significantly more humanoid and, although I recognise how loaded the term is, life-like. The real-time participatory forms, at least across the web, would inevitably have to run with lower-end graphics, but maybe the vividness of the stories and characters would lead users to forgive the lack of detailed textures and finely rendered wall hangings.
So perhaps, with Inhabited Television, you cannot just observe events on a screen, but meet and talk with other people in the world of Pompeii, played perhaps by actors or by other participants like yourself. You can shape and develop events and stories, and you can learn as part of a compelling collective experience. That anyway in the aim. What was it like on the day Vesuvius erupted? "A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times ... and you were there."

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Ruiz begins with the first wave of Mexican women crossing the border from Mexico early in our century. She reveals that between 1910 and 1930, over one million Mexican men and women (perhaps as much as ten percent of Mexico's population) migrated "al otro lado," joining the hundreds of thousands of Mexican-Americans already living in the Southwest United States. We learn how the women would rise before dawn to prepare the masa for fresh tortillas, then work all day in the fields, then return to household chores in the evening, cooking, or laboring over a washboard and tub, late into the night. Ruiz illuminates attempts to Americanize the Mexicanas, especially by Protestant groups, whose efforts by and large failed; the women instead relied on their own community groups--mutualistas (mutual aid societies), parish organizations, auxiliaries, and labor unions--to help them assimilate. We also read about the tensions that arose between generations, as the parents tried to rein in young daughters eager to adopt American ways--forbidding the use of makeup and insisting that teenage girls attend a dance, a movie, or even a church function with a chaperone, usually their mothers. Perhaps most important, the book highlights the various forms of political protest initiated by Mexican-American women, including civil rights activity and protests against the war in Vietnam. Here is a dramatic story of how and where political protest developed, and of the groups Mexicanas formed to channel their voice. And in particular, it is the story of how these protest groups developed bonds of social cohesion that strengthened their community and helped them find their own public space and a role for themselves in America.
What emerges from the book finally is a portrait of a very distinctive culture in America, one that has slowly gathered strength in the last 95 years. From Out of the Shadows is an important addition to the largely undocumented history of Mexican-American women in our century.

Check out CSN's latest live album (CD/DVD or Bluray) called CSN2012. They are in great voice. Stephen Still doesn't get enough credit for being the great musician that he is. Perhaps he has suffered in the shadow of his sometimes bandmate, Neil Young, who happens to hold Stills in very high esteem.

Stills was only in a band with Young for a short time. It's hard to say why he doesn't get the credit he clearly deserves.

It's been many years since my very first century of 1993, and yet my passion for cycling has only grown since. Be it racing against cars by Lodi Lake during my teenage years, struggling up Salsberry Pass in Death Valley with my faithful Cannondale or recumbent, or riding in darkness towards a distant inferno southeast of Yosemite on the 4th of July, the memories are large and plentiful.
Below are some cycling career highlights.
- 2015 Trans Am Bike Race (8th place out of ~40 starters; 3rd American; 23 days, 23 hours, 17 min)
- 2011 Furnace Creek 508 (1st place Classic Bike division and age-group course record)
- 2011 Boston-Montreal-Boston finisher (82.4 hours)
- 2008 Tour Divide (6th place out of 16 starters; 27 days, 10 hours, 37 minutes; 11th person in the world to have successfully time-trialed the world's longest mountain bike route)
- 2003 Paris-Brest-Paris ancien (84 hours, 29 minutes)
- 1999 One Thousand Mile Club (5 double centuries in a year)
- 1999 California Triple Crown Stage Race (youngest rider to complete the series up to that point, age 23)
- A full brevet series (200km, 300km, 400km, 600km) in 2011, 2007 and 2003
- Completed the California Triple Crown challenge in 2004, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997.
- Part of the winning team in the 1998 Bay Area Low Key Hill Climb Series
- Finisher of >30 double centuries and a few Ironman triathlons.

Stacy Coley -- Considered by some to be the most talented player in the state this year, regardless of position, Coley plays at Northeast High for former Hurricane running back Donnell Bennett. At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, he is very fast and very explosive. He's the type of talent who can come in and do a lot of damage on the field right away. Coley visited Miami earlier this month and plans to see Florida State, Ole Miss, and maybe one other during January. It's shaping up to be a classic UM/FSU recruiting battle, and one that will likely go down to the wire.
Jordan Cunningham -- One of the top wide receiver prospects in South Florida, Cunningham helped lead his team to a state championship this season. At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, he has soft hands and just makes a lot of plays. He took in-season visits to Oklahoma State and Stanford but says he grew up a Miami fan. Coley appears to be a bigger target for the Hurricanes right now but Cunningham is definitely someone to keep an eye on.
Denver Kirkland -- One of the state's top offensive line prospects, Kirkland has been actively recruited by Miami all year. He took an in-season visit to Ole Miss and now plans to see Florida State, Miami, and USC in the month of January. At 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds, he plays right tackle in high school and could end up playing there or guard in college. He's a very good line prospect, and seems like the player the Canes would like to finish up with along the offensive line.

All is Right in the World Again - Hawks 6 Terrible Team 3
Tonight, the most inept of the inept at special teams would faceoff in Columbus. That's not the end of the stupid either. John Scott is dressed. Steve Montador is supposedly going to be a forward on the powerplay. And I'm sure Q will take the already jumbled lines and make them even crazier.
Seven minutes into the first, Brent Seabrook would charge into the offensive zone and perform a give and go with Toews. Toews would drive hard to the net and Seabs would simply throw the puck on net from a sharp angle, and Steve "Terrible Goalie" Mason would drop the rebound right into the slot where The Captain would bury the chance. 1-0 Hawks.
A couple minutes later, Steve Montador and Derek Dorsett would have a goofy looking scrap along the boards. Dorsett had given Marcus Kruger a high, sorta-blindside-ish hit and Monty took offense. Dorsett pretty much played punchy face with Montador's mug, soooo, whatever I guess. Monty should be careful though, he doesn't want to miss out on any powerplay time. *eye roll*

Put a penny in the slot lyricsI apologize,
Seem to have arrived,
Home with items in my bag from your house.
There's cutlery,
A tablecloth, some Hennessy,
And a book on Presidents deceased.
I'll have them fed-exed to you,
It was a strange thing to
Reed full lyrics do,
I hope we can still be friends.
Ah, it was not me,
But someone else, you see,
Twisting the steering reins.
Put a penny in the slot and make an
Artificial light shine,
Leave go my golden arm.
I don't give advise,
But be wise and think twice,
Before getting involved in a game.
Where the minority
Face the majority,
Who are faceless and born without names.
Was it Knocksink when
We came across three men,
They had church candles wrapped in newspaper.
I bought two from them,
And I lit one for you,
I hope the message made it's way down the wire.
Put a penny in the slot and make an
Artificial light shine,
Leave go my golden arm.
The soul of a dog,
He's alive and not gone
To the farm like the others said.
A Rhodesian Ridgeback,
Off the beaten track,
In a furniture shop down on the quays.
For the loneliness you foster,
I suggest Paul Auster,
A book called Timbuktu.
Put a penny in the slot and watch the
Drunken sailor boy dance.
She will not let you be
Her lover.
She goes out looking for
The taxi.
Her phone is ringing straight to
Send out a battalion to
Find her.
Put a penny in the slot and count the
Swans through a telescope.
I can't help from cryin'
I wish you were mine.
When I was seventeen,
I followed my dream,
Up into a high-rise block.
The adventures of Augie March,
By Saul Bel-low,
Was all I had for company.
At night time I'd lie
In Beckenham Park,
With tears like flashbulbs.
And recall my treasure-
Searching days,
In the rock pools as a kid.
To the remains of
The Chair-o-Planes,
Or around the bonfire in Nailors' cove.
Good company and grief
Sit like a dock leaf,
Sits beside a stinging nettle.
Put a penny in the slot and make an
Artificial light shine,
Leave go my golden arm.

I will say I am a Stoner supporter and believe he is at the pointy end of the field skill wise.
What he needs to understand is that over a very long season there will be times when your just not at 100%, the trick is to get through as best as possible and wait for the inevitable bounce back.
Where have the doubters of Lorenzo been when Stoner won 3 in a row? thats right, giving it to Jorge, he is now in a good frame of mind at the moment and the bike is no different and they have crawled out of the shadows, same with Pedrosa, his dry spells are legendary...2 wins a year usually...then what.
Patience is the key here.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 4 nights
Property : Chalet with 3 bedrooms + 2 bunk rooms. 2 ½ baths. Laundry, cable, internet and Wi-Fi. Wood stove. TV, DVD, Chromecast. Deck with gas grill. Sleeps up 10.
Located in Edelweiss village overlooking Middle Pea Porridge pond. Minutes from North Conway Shopping Winter skiing, ice fishing, skating, and Summer swimming, hiking, climbing, etc . Steps to private beach. Includes Kayak and inner tubes. Minutes to multiple ski areas, Saco River tubing, hiking trails and shopping. The Edelweiss area is a few miles before North Conway so you avoid all of the traffic that backs up on route 16 during busy times. This area is in a quite wooded area overlooking a pond with sandy private beach as well. Beach has a float and toilet facilities.
No pets.
No Smoking.
Our family has been vacationing in the White mountains since our children were small. We usually come for the Skiing but since we have owned this house we have discovered how nice the area is in the Summer. We have made a lot of memories with our children in this area that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. We are looking for like minded people who can appreciate the relaxation and fun to be experienced in this area with their families to rent from us.
Ellen and Paul Leeber purchased this chalet in 2012
This property is Ideal for All seasons. In Summer you are steps from a pristine warm pond with sandy beach. Kayak and inner tubes included. Fall, enjoy the beautiful foliage and cool Fall air. Winter, have access to 6 ski mountains within 15 minute drive and experience all the night life of Apres Skiing. Spring, enjoy the river adventures minutes from the Saco River. Any season enjoy shopping and nightlife in the North Conway area without fighting the traffic
Peaceful overlook down onto private pond. Great for Families. Has Laundry and 2 full baths. Just a few minutes from Downtown but you feel like you are far from any crowds.
We had three families with Children staying at the chalet, mostly younger kids and one teenager. It's a very well laid out space with a couple of different zones to hang out in so you shouldn't feel like you're on top of each other especially if some folks are off skiing or playing in the snow. The kitchen is a little on the small side so we tried to keep it to two chefs in there at a time. The two bunkrooms were cozy and perfect for the younger kids, perhaps a little too cozy for my teenager but she managed :) Paul and Ellen are excellent hosts, and were very generous sharing information before and during the rental period. Everything is well labeled and there are lots of signs and info about everything you need to know.
The Leeber Lodge was a great location for our fall vacation. The house was exactly what we needed. Close to the lake for canoeing and fishing (and even one day of swimming despite it being October). The kids loved the two bunk rooms downstairs and the adults loved the spacious bedrooms upstairs. We used the balcony grill and fire pit on several nights. All in the perfect base for hanging by the lake or heading out to explore the North Conway region. We will be back.
Our group of 9 women really enjoyed this cabin in the woods. It wasn't too far from town and the property was very clean and in excellent condition. The camp had all the luxury of home with a getaway feeling. The beach is within walking distance as well. I would have to recommend this place if anyone is looking for a getaway but doesn't want to be too far from town.
We stayed for a family 60th birthday weekend over the 4th of July for my mom. Paul was fabulous to work with: helpful, accommodating and responsive. The place was great for us.
The 3 different levels of the house (basement, main floor, upstairs) were excellent if you have kids with you. We had a 9yr old and an almost 3 yr old. The 9yr old loved the basement, it was like he had his own little apartment, but the almost 3 yr old had the best time. He could go up & down the stairs to see his brother without our worry as the stairs were carpeted and easy for him. He loved going out on the deck to do bubbles. Again very easy for us to mind him as it's right off the main living space.
We were able to use the stove and the grill to cook. We had a fire in the fire pit one night. The seating is a little sloped and it's really dark on that side of the house so I'd suggest set chairs up in daylight and bring a lantern for that. We didn't check if they had one, so maybe ask first. The house has plenty of bathrooms for many people. The cottage accommodated our crew of 6 adults and 3 kids (including a newborn) very well with plenty of beds to spare.
One downside we found (but understood why) was we had to make all our beds on arrival, then strip them at the end. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't really be much of an issue, but we arrived when it was really hot and humid and the house doesn't have A/C, we were sweating in the first hour just making beds. I would rather the option to pay an additional optional fee for making and stripping beds for us.The house stayed pretty cool the rest of the weekend though.
The gem of this house is the lake. The beach is a walk down a hill. Down is not the problem, but coming back up is a task, especially at the end of a day at the lake. Each day we would pack 1 car full of our stuff and the little ones, someone would drive that down while the rest walked. That worked out really well. The beach is nice and on 4th of July weekend it was really only "busy" one day. Having little ones, there was a shaded area under the trees with a picnic table; we were able to get this area the whole weekend even when it was busy which was good for us. There is also a floating dock for kids and adults to swim out to and jump off. The house was stocked with tubes, noodles and chairs for the beach that we used each day.
If you are looking for a relatively easy low stress getaway, this place is for you. The pros far outweigh the cons.
My fiance and myself went up with two other couples for the weekend of Feb 12, 2016 and this house was absolutely perfect. It was about 15min away from North Conway which was perfect for us, it was still extremely close so we had no trouble getting to Cranmore on Saturday and the shopping areas on Sunday, but still secluded enough that you get the true feeling of being in NH. The house is extremely cozy, with the one main common area on the main level, right by the kitchen and living room, where we spent the majority of our time playing card games at the dining room table which sat everyone very comfortably. Paul, the owner was always accessible and quick to respond to all inquiries. We will definitely be going back to this house in the future.
Very nice property,very good condition and super clean. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is there. 2 minutes walk from the private beach and 2 minutes drive in car from all other beaches. We was big group of person (17) and everyone having a space to sleep.
We really enjoy our stay and recommends it 100% to every one.
We are located just a short drive from Down Town North Conway NH

The RIAA and MPAA trot out their spokespeople at conferences and public events all over the country, repeating their misleading talking points. Innovators are pirates, fair use is theft, the sky is falling, up is down, and so on. Their rhetoric shouldn't be given a free pass.
To that end, EFF has prepared a sample list of tough questions for times when you hear entertainment industry representatives speaking and want to challenge their positions. Asking hard questions is a way of "keeping honest people honest" and revealing when they're actually being deceptive.

Well, as this is my first walkthrough, im certain it'll be crappy, but i'm going through anyway.
Part 1
When you gain control of link, head out of the room and talk to some of the people. They won't provide you with much info, so continue on outside. Outside, do what the man on the plain tells you, and when you are done talking, he will ask you to retrieve the headmaster's cat. Run to the side of the door to grab onto a ledge, and climb across. Run over to the vines, climb up, and run to the crate. Push it on to the wall, run up, and get the cat. Now walk back to the man and talk to him. Now go up to the large island with the statue. After the scene, go back to the knight academy and through the gate. Head down, and when you get to the kid rolling into a tree, roll into it. Continue on to the plaza to the three people to find out a little more info. Go back to the academy, and after talking to pipit, go into the sparring hall. Go into the back, get your sword, practice, and leave. now go to the area with an x on your map. Continue through the cave system until you walk out, and go use your sword to get your bird back. Now run off the dock and call your bird, and after a short joyflight, you will 'land' in yet another cutsene. At the end of this one, use my flyguide to win the race.
Flyguide to win the race!
To easily get the bird, don't try to follow behind it. Instead, try to go ahead of it: if it turns left, aim left, fly straight, and Charge. it should be fairly easy to catch.
After you win the race and zelda pushes you off the statue, float into the little circle, and after the obtrusively long cutscene, follow the apparition to the statue. after getting the sword and all, wait till day and go through the hole in the clouds after getting a shield and a potion from the bazaar.
Down here, go to the bottom of the pit, and win you go back up, the buildng will be open. go inside, and after talking to the ancient person, take what is in the chest and leave through the side door. go to the aid of the talking rock, and continue on out.
Here, after crossing the pit, go to the aid of the bush. but wait, that's not a bush! Anyway, continue following it into the woods, and you will be told to go find the kikwi elder. after finding him, you will need to find the other kikwis.
First, go through the small hole in the tree. From here, go up the vines, hop down, and go left. Use dowsing to find a signal from a large ledge. Climb up to the ledge, and after cutting the grass with three spin attacks, talk to the kikwi. Now go down, and, right at the end of this little place, go through the hole. Climb the rocks ahead, and go to the rope on the left end of the cliff. Go across it and get your Piece of Heart. Now head across the rope again, and go to the other end and walk around to find a hole. Drop in to it. Now go through the tunnel to go to the location of your next kikwi. Now, after finding this kikwi, use dowsing to locate the final one. After finding him, go back to the kikwi elder and get the slingshot. Shoot the vine to the north of the tree, hop across, and go to the huge building in the north. head through it till you get to the vine, and shoot it. now head into the deep woods.
Here, go down until you find a dead end, and climb on the ledge until you get where the rope attaches. shoot the bokoblin with your sling shot to knock him out, but wait until he starts on the rope. shoot again. now go on the rope ( QUICKLY ) and jostle. he should fall. continue on straightforward until you get to the " Goddess Cube ", and hit it with a skyward strike. observe. now continue on until you get to the building, and regain lost health and pellets. now shoot the crystal on the ceiling above the door to open it. head in to your first Dungeon.
Skyview Temple
In here, go down the staircase until you reach a door and ledge with a crystal. Shoot the crystal with the slingshot and continue through thedoor. Stand on the ledge and move your sword in a circular motion to destroy the Eye Guard and continue. Go under the left bridge and hit the crystal. Now go through the right door aftter hitting the crystal above, and drop down to the hole in the left side. Enter and shoot the crystal. Now head out through the door and go into the other one right across. shoot the vines and go to the middle of the platform and shoot the crystal. Continue on to the door and go to the tree branch and gather the map. go across the bridge again and swim to the log to get to the door. In here, defeat the creature and do the puzzle to get the key. Go back to the bridge room and open the locked door.
FIrst, go into the circular building after hitting the crystal. you will battle a Stalfos, but simply guard and attack to win. after defeating it, you will recieve the Beetle. now go to the left door and fly the beetle through the cave and hit the crystal. go through the door and head to the other end. Fly the Beetle to the crystal on the other end. Now go through the door and to the right side and climb the vines. Fly the beetle into the string holding the crate, and push it to the eyes. Adjust as necessary, and do the same thing as all other eye things. After getting the key, head back to the room with the little room and go to the right door after slashing the babas with the beetle. in here, kill the monster and proceed. Now, head on until you get to the crystal and rope. hit the crystal and shoot the goblin so you can cross the rope. Head to the right side and climb up the vines. from here, cut the rope and swing to the ledge. now shoot the vines and swing across so you can get the Golden Carving, and go to the large door. enter.
To defeat this guy, simply utilize shield bashes and attack moves and listen to Fi. after defeating him, go out and go back to the sky. re equip your self before going back to the statue and setting out.
Here, go down the path until you encounter two mole things. Continue on down until you reach the area with Bomb Flowers, and use them to blow up the boulders to continue. Now, talk to the bird statue before going any further, and go to the Goddess Cube and Strike it. Return to the area you were just at, and go right. Roll a Bomb Flower into the mouth of the fire-hole and proceed. After killing the Bokoblin(s), hop on to the ledge with the Bomb Flowers and carefully throw them into the skulls. Now hop down to the spine bridge and forcefully roll a bomb across to blow up the lava spew, and go across and through the ditch to the wind, and hop onto the platform and dive off. In here, dive to the chest to get its contents, and thence to the Goddess Cube, and finally down. Go to the aid of the Mogma in the tunnel by destroying the Bokoblins. A good rule of thumb is to to lure them over to you and knock the leader over with a Skyward Strike and then finish them. NOTE: there is a Bokoblin Leader on a large platform on the right. After defeating them, go back to the Mogma to claim the Mogma Mitts. Dig at the area behind him to unlock a wind jet and fly up and continue on, digging anywhere you find a place. You will come upon a room with fire tunnels, but destroying the Pyrups inside is optional, but I strongly suggest doing so. At the end of the puzzle, go up the wind jet and continue to the dead end. After the cutscene, continue up the mountain. at the sandy area, simply run up it and stop where necessary to kill Bokoblins. Be warned that on the top there are several Bokoblins who's aim is to harm you as much as possible. Avoid their projectiles until you get to the top, and quickly kill them. Before going up, look to the left. There will be a path. Go down to it and blow up the rubble for a path before heading up. Proceed up to the village and slay off all of the Bokoblins before heading to the tower. Use a nearby Bomb Flower to knock it down, and head across. Keep going until you get to the next part. Use the same rules and you should get through easily.

Delk, Hansen to Have Jerseys Retired
LEXINGTON, Ky. - University of Kentucky men's basketball great Tony Delk and gymnastics star Jenny Hansen will have their jerseys retired by UK Athletics at events held in February.
Jersey retirement is considered the highest honor of UK Athletics. Delk becomes the 43rd retired jersey associated with men's basketball and Hansen is the first honoree in gymnastics. Previously, Delk and Hansen had been elected to the UK Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 and 2006, respectively. They were elected for jersey retirement this year by a Hall of Fame subcommittee comprised of media, Hall of Fame representatives and athletics staff.
Hansen will be honored on Friday, Feb. 20 at the UK gymnastics meet vs. Arkansas, and Delk will be recognized on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the men's basketball game vs. Auburn.
Listed below are biographies of the two retired jersey honorees:
Tony Delk, Men's Basketball, 1993-96
The Most Outstanding Player of the 1996 NCAA Final Four and the Midwest Regional in leading UK to the national championship ... Earned first-team All-America and SEC Player of the Year honors as a senior ... First-team All-SEC his last two seasons, also third-team All-America as a junior and second-team All-SEC as a sophomore ... Led the Wildcats in scoring three straight years ... UK's career leader in three-pointers (283), while ranking second in career steals (201) and fifth in scoring (1,890 points) ... In his four years, Kentucky posted a 119-18 record and went to the NCAA Final Four twice, winning one national championship, two SEC championships, three SEC Eastern Division championships and three SEC Tournament titles ... Played 10 seasons in the NBA.
Jenny Hansen, Gymnastics, 1993-96
One of the most distinguished gymnastics athletes in NCAA history ... Broke three NCAA records, including: eight individual national titles; four titles in one year (1995: all-around, floor exercise, balance beam, vault); and three all-around championships (1993-95) ... Earned All-America honors in 13 events during her career ... 1994 Honda Cup recipient as the top women's amateur athlete (any sport) in the nation ... 1995 SEC Female Athlete of the Year ...

The UK Athletics Hall of Fame was started in 2005 to recognize and honor persons whose participation and contributions enriched and strengthened the university's athletic program. The charter class included 88 individuals who had previously had their jersey retired by UK.
There is a five-year waiting period - after leaving UK - to be eligible for inclusion into the Hall of Fame. Hall of Famers are eligible for jersey retirement five years after they have been elected to the Hall of Fame.
Media Opportunity - February 21, 2015
THE MODERATOR: Good evening, everyone. We're very excited for you all to be here. This is a great day in the history of University of Kentucky athletics with both of this years real estate Jenny Hanson and Tony Delk.
We'll have Jenny come up first to do her part of the news conference. Her career highlights: eight-time NCAA champion in gymnastics, Southeastern Conference Female Athlete of the Year. She won the Honda Cup as the National Female Amateur Athlete of the Year, Kentucky Sportsman of the Year.
Looking at her career after UK, she's been in the entertainment industry, she's been a stunt double on television in movies. She's been a trainer for the biggest loser television show. Currently doing a live show at Disneyland doing stunt work for that, and is also coaching youth gymnastics.
Q. Just your thoughts about having your jersey retired.
JENNY HANSEN: Well, it's just been an extreme honor just to come back to Kentucky and have my teammates there and have past gymnasts there, and just be recognized at what I had done with the University of Kentucky at the University of Kentucky. It's just a lot of fun to be just back on campus and in Lexington. It's an amazing honor.
Q. How much, if any, had you been back in Lexington and back on campus since your career here?
JENNY HANSEN: I think I've been back a couple times. I believe it was last year. (UK gymnastics) Coach Tim Garrison invited me over and I got an opportunity to talk to the girls before one of their competitions. And that was extremely fun.
I got pretty emotional, actually, because it was being back in Nutter where I used to practice, and how much time and dedication and all that stuff in that facility. It brought back a lot of memories and a lot of great memories.
Q. How did your training here end up leading you to being a stunt woman?
JENNY HANSEN: Well, I think it started actually when I was a kid. My sisters and I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, so I actually ended up -- I had horses, we had cattle, we had a trampoline in the backyard, so it was a lot of that stuff. And then once I came here to Kentucky and then doing a lot of the press conference stuff, and just being able to be confident in front of people.
I've been a character (laughs). I think just being in front of the huge crowds in the SEC, it helps a lot just because when you're on set, all of a sudden they say, okay, you ready, and you've got to say yeah. So sometimes it's a one-and-done, and sometimes you've just got to constantly repeat it over and over again.
So yeah, it's helped out quite a bit. That was a very good question. I like that one.
Q. Sum up, how did you transition from being gymnast to being in the entertainment business and doing that stuff?
JENNY HANSEN: Well, I think I've always had an entertaining personality. I think one of the things is, even when I was here after I graduated from UK, I ended up working at Ruden Riddle, equine hospital here. Those guys will tell you, it was hard for me to stay contained in four walls. I was flipping on the mats and I was doing a couple different things.
Q. How did you end up in the entertainment business from being a college gymnast?
JENNY HANSEN: I think I've always kind of had that personality. But in the entertainment business, you know, it's all about show and it's all about how you can present yourself and how basically what gymnastics has kind of taught me through my years, and growing up in that sport.
So it was an easy transition. It's hard to get -- sometimes it's difficult to get jobs, just because you have to go out there and you kind of have to sell yourself. So you're kind of your own agent, in a sense.
But once you're on set, it's similar to any kind of competition. It's an on thing. Once you get on there, all of a sudden, when the cameras are all rolling and they go, action, boom, you've got to be on. And if you're not on and you don't hit your mark, then you don't get a 10.
Q. Any chance you have any flips or stunts or anything planned maybe for tonight?
JENNY HANSEN: I don't know (laughs). I always conjure up something, so there might be something going on tonight.
Q. What was last night like for you?
JENNY HANSEN: It was a whirlwind. Last night was great seeing lots of people that I haven't seen in a fairly long time. So it was just fun catching up with them. And then also, just watching the girls compete, when I was able to, while I was in between talking to everybody.
But it was just -- it was pretty exciting just to watch the girls and see the progression of actually how the coliseum has evolved and the speaker system and the flooring and the setup. It was good to see the people that usually have set up when I was competing still there and they are still dedicated to their job and what they do.
Yeah, it was just a lot of fun just to be back in that environment and watching the girls and remembering what it felt like to be out on that floor.
THE MODERATOR: Jenny, thank you so much.
Tony Delk, was an All-American, Southeastern Conference Player of the Year. University of Kentucky, career three-point leader, fifth all-time on the all-time scoring list; Most Outstanding Player of the 1996 Midwest regional. Of course that sparked the Wildcats to the Final Four where the Wildcats won the 1996 National Championship and Tony was the most outstanding player of the Final Four, as well.
From there, went on to the NBA, played 10 seasons in the NBA and is now doing television work and we are pleased to have him as our retired jersey honoree tonight. At this point we'll bring up Tony Delk.
Q. Give us your thoughts on having your jersey retired?
TONY DELK: It's a great honor, just to be amongst the great players here who have laced up, who have worn the Blue. I've played with a lot of great guys, and it was fun just being here because I was just thinking about myself as I was walking in, starting in the backyard of Brownsville, Tenn., to the hardwood of Rupp Arena, who would have thought that?
Just to be here, it all started with Brownsville, my brothers, my mom, dad, sisters, everybody helped me with this process. So it's been great.
Q. Curious as you look back, are you more proud of being still the fifth all-time leading scorer here, or being second in career steals?
TONY DELK: You know what, I thought about second in career steals. I played with the guy who was No. 1 and we spoke three days ago, Wayne Turner. So it was probably the steals because I never thought about that I would be second on the all-time steals list and was first before Wayne passed me.
Making a lot of 3's, I played with so many great guys. Got a call from Antoine Walker today, Walter McCarty, Scott Padgett, Anthony Epps, Jeff Shepherd, the list goes on and on of how we came together and had great chemistry. It was just a lot of fun just playing with all those guys.
Q. The 00 going up in the rafters tonight, how did you choose that number?
TONY DELK: How did I come to double zeros, that's an interesting question. Because I started my sophomore year, my numbers were 20 and 21. I don't know, I just decided, I came down to Atlanta, I live in Atlanta now, but I played some summer ball with my brother and I felt like my game had gotten a lot better.
So when I got back home, went to my high school coach, I told them I wanted to wear 00. He said, that's strange, how do you go from 20, 21 to 00. But again my brother wore it, and I thought I did a tremendous job just representing his number. I was hoping he would be here but he had some other things to take care of.
That number meant a lot to me in high school, as well as here at the University of Kentucky, and to get a chance to wear it on several times in the NBA -- I played on a lot of teams in the NBA, so I have a lot of 00s.
Q. There's a lot of talk about this year's team, whether they need to take a loss -- and you had a loss into the SEC tournament. Did that help you guys, and do you think a team needs that at all?
TONY DELK: We weren't trying to lose. We had won 27 games in a row, of course not.
I want to see this team go 40-0 -- you don't want to lose a game now. The way they have been playing, they have had close games and now it's about finishing off what they started and having the experience come back from last season has really helped this year's group of guys.
So you want to see a team like this finish what they started. They are good, they play together, they enjoy the game, they have fun and they are well coached.
Q. So who wins, 1996 Kentucky or 2015 Kentucky?
TONY DELK: It's different styles. I thought our style was a lot different. They are really great at half court. We were great in the full court. We pressed, we turned you over, we scored in the 90s and sometimes in the 100s. So we had a different style than what they are playing right now. They are long and athletic. I thought we were being quicker. We had much better shooters. I will say that.
Q. If I remember right, thinking back to early in your freshman year, you were ready to pack up. Talk about your thoughts, thinking back to that day, how glad you are you didn't leave?
TONY DELK: Well, I can remember picking up the phone and calling my brothers, when Coach Pitino started the recruiting process, he came down to Brownsville, Tennessee and built a relationship with my brothers, as well as Billy Donovan was the reason why I chose the University of Kentucky.
And just not playing early, watching my peers play, it was frustrating. I thought I should have been playing, and you know, it was a lot of hard work that went into it.
So by the time I spoke with Coach Pitino, I said, I'm just not happy here. He made a promise to me that he would not recruit anybody else at my position and the rest is history. So glad I stayed now.
I got a text from him yesterday just congratulating me and I have to thank him for just the hard work and believing in me. Billy Donovan is one of those guys, when I wasn't playing, getting into the gym, working on my game night and day -- before he left and took the job at University of Marshall, he left me in good hands.
Q. On the 1995-96 shooting foul:
TONY DELK: That was a phantom foul. That was my acting career starting early. I fooled the ref just like these players now, they will fall down and scream and the refs go for it. Just one of those plays. But just to be in front of our bench and get to that point from losing '95 to North Carolina, who I thought was probably our best team. I loved our '96 team. That '95 was a special team. You know, just playing with Walter McCarty, Antoine Walker, Derek Anderson, Ron Mercer; there was so many great players. And we all came together kind of like what this team is doing. We wanted to do something special and to be a part of history.
Q. How was the satisfaction playing at Kentucky versus your years in the NBA where it's more of a business? And didn't you once have like 50-some points in the NBA?
TONY DELK: I did. I had a 53-point game, played with an unbelievable point guard, Jason Kidd. Remind me of Anthony Epps. He took care of all the players, made sure everybody got their shots.
Just playing here, it was guys who we didn't have anything, you know, our common goal was to play, enjoy the game, have fun and try to be a part of history. Then like I said, the NBA became a business. Guys were friends but we wasn't friends off the court.
Here, the dorms, going to movies, bowling alleys, it was just camaraderie. We built a great chemistry here. Today, the guys I named, still good friends: Derek Anderson, talk to him, Antoine Walker, Anthony Epps, we still remain friends. This is our family.

If I could rate any lower I would. The worst place we've ever stayed. Staff were awful - acting as if it were a hassle if we were to ask for help. They refused to help even when facilities didn't work. Rooms were basic and overpriced. They tried to charge for another night! Kitchen was disgusting - bins not emptied, nothing cleaned. This last point is most likely because (worst of all) the staff seem to just let their friends stay there and do whatever they like including what sounded like drugs

How to design a static page in WP
I am need of some advice on how best to design and layout a static website in WP.
I chose MAG BASIC as my theme because of the columns in the db window.
PAGES means something different in WP than in my other blog software. Is that the way to go?
I think I need a site wide menu with each year as a category. ANd then the categories of each year pull down. But should those be sub categories or articles?
Should each year sub category (music) be an artile? Or should it be a sub category and I break up the content into articles?
Or what?
The reasons for moving a static html site to wordpress are:
Blog software should help SEO matters
It will allow comments (new content) which may keep search bots interested.
I need to learn WP before I try and move my blog from Serendipity to WP.
I need to be cool!
