Why do you report our comments to the renter? I don't like knowing that you are seeking them out and telling them what I've said. I'm affraid they will retaliate and leave a negative review, or worse!
GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Sep 30, 2011 11:09 AM (in response to apexrentals)
Actually we don't.
As a general rule, the member (that's you) agrees to notify the guest that their information has been reported. We do not notify guests unless you tell us that you haven't made an attempt to notify them. If we arent aware of it, no action is taken on our part.
The important thing to remember is that the guest must be made aware that they are staying with someone who reports to GuestChecker. Just make sure your online policies include the statement "At any time before, during, or after your stay with us, your information may be shared with GuestChecker.com"
By staying with you, they are agreeing to your terms of service. As long as you are doing your part to let them know about the rules, it is their repsonsibility to follow them, or choose another place to stay. After all, a guest can't be expected to play by the rules, if they aren't aware of them.
Thanks for the questions Apex. Most of all thanks for your support!

"At any time before, during, or after your stay with us, your information may be shared with GuestChecker.com"
I'm afraid this would scare prospective renters away. How do they know what information is shared with Guest Checker and who else will have access to it? I'm sure most people won't investigate and will simply move on to the next listing.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Sep 30, 2011 1:12 PM (in response to lrbaldwin)
I understand your concern. As an owner of vacation rental property myself, I had this same concern. Actually I found the opposite to be true. did you know that you can post Guest Compliments on the site as well? Let me tell you how I handle questions about that sentence.
When asked about that statement, I have a canned answer.
"GuestChecker is a database of rental guests. If you'd like, I can pass on your name to other vacation rental owners so they know what you like before you get there. If you don't want your bed turned down, I'll let them know about it. If you'd like a basket of apples left on the table, I can let them know about that too. But what i really like to do, is to let other businesses like mine know when i have a really great customer. You'll be surprised how often you can get discounts and free upgrades when a business knows you're a great customer."
People love being recognized for things like that. The more you think about it, the more that simple little sentence in your policies can be turned from a perceived negative into extra value for the client. Before they know it, they can't wait to get on the list.
Now for the other side of the coin.... When I run into a guest that doesn't like it, there's usually a reason. I've only had 3 guests in the past year that havent stayed with me because of that sentence. I later found out that one of them was already on the list for nonpayment, and another one of them was on the list a few months later for stealing towels.
As a vacation rental owner, I get to choose my renters. If someone doesnt want to stay at my cabin because of that sentence, that is exactly the type of person I want my competition to have to deal with.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).lrbaldwin Sep 30, 2011 1:47 PM (in response to guestchecker)
Thanks for the information. I've taken a look at your site, but obviously I can't see what your database looks like since I'm not a member. I assume you have to make sure I'm a legitimate vacation rental home owner....or can just anyone join? I can't look at your FAQs because I don't have Java on this machine. If only rental managers (hotels, rental agencies, vacation home owners, etc) can become members, how do you verify?
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Sep 30, 2011 2:15 PM (in response to lrbaldwin)
Hi Linda,
Part of keeping the site within the legal allowable limits regarding personal information sharing, we have deemed it too risky to allow people to scroll through the list of names. It would leave our members far too liable. Rather, when you search for a particular guest, you will receive a detailed report if there is a record for that individual.
To answer the second part, membership is only allowed for those who truly provide short term accommodations. The general public can't join. I can't give away all our secrets regarding the verification process, but I can tell you it's a cross reference system that's very solid.
Just so you know, it is free to join.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).lrbaldwin Sep 30, 2011 2:28 PM (in response to guestchecker)
How many members do you have and how many names are in your database of renters?
A few minutes ago I submitted the application for membership. I immediately received an email that I have been added as a registered member. I did not give information about my property, so how did GuestChecker verify that I am legitimate?
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Sep 30, 2011 3:05 PM (in response to lrbaldwin)
As of 3pm EST, there are 14,604 members and 26,290 guests logged into the system.
Regarding the verification process: If your website doesn't contain the required verbage "At any time before during or after your stay, your information may be shared with guest checker" within two weeks of signing up, our office will verify your status as an accommodations provider manually . If we are unable to do so (based on your geographical location and your computer's IP address) you will be contact directly.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).jaxbeachjim Mar 31, 2012 5:22 PM (in response to guestchecker)
I just tried to add "At any time before, during, or after your stay with us, your information may be shared with GuestChecker.com" to my VRBO website and VRBO rejected it, for the .com, I changed it to say "At any time before, during, or after your stay with us, your information may be shared with the GuestChecker website". Will this satisfy any legal requirements. I just had bad experience with a short term renter that's why I googled renter black lists. Your site will allow me to sleep at night.
GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).tsvr Sep 30, 2011 11:36 AM (in response to guestchecker)
What, exactly, is Guest Checker?
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Sep 30, 2011 12:20 PM (in response to tsvr)
Well, that's a good question. I'll give two answers.
1) The corporate answer: We are an alliance of short term accomodation providers who are dedicated to sharing information about individual guests so that we may be better prepared for their arrival.
2) My personal answer: Vacation rental, hotel, and b&B owners who share "guest blacklists".
Anyone who has been in the rental business for any length of time knows that 95% of guests are happy, repsectful, goood clients who are willing to pay a fair price for a rental. Unfortunatley, there is a small percentage of people who are disruptive, rude, demand to be compensated for no reason, damage, steal, etc.
We all have our own "private" blacklist of renters who we won't rent to again. GuestChecker allows us to share these list with each other. The service is free.
There was a news story about GuestChecker on the evening news in Texas about a year ago that explains the process a little better. Click the link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hVTAqG9Aqk

What is the difference between guest checker and other guest screening services?
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).guestchecker Jan 11, 2012 8:05 AM (in response to cabinbythefalls)
All guest screening services do the same thing, more or less. I think the main difference that seperates our service from the others is, simply put, volume.
We currently have more than 80,000 active members in all 50 U.S. states and 28 countries worldwide. We expect to top 100,000 members by Mid March 2012. For liability reasons I can't go into detail on the number of guest-reports in our database. I can say that it's in the tens of thousands.
It would make sense for anyone in the accomodations industry to join every possible site that reports a guest's behavior. However, GuestChecker was the first of it's kind in North America and, as far as we can tell, is the largest short term accommodation guest screening service in the world.
Thanks for the question Cabinbythefalls! Keep on "checkin-and-rentin"!

Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).dbmeyer Mar 31, 2012 8:08 PM (in response to ppv1)
I was able to access the site, however several of their links are not working. I am very interested in hearing from other VRBO owners who are members, to hear how this is working for you. I would like to participate if this is working well. I have several potential guests I would like to check out, and also have several renters (won't call them guests under the circumstances) that I would like to report on. Thanks for any input from actual users of this website. This might be a great resource for owners, as we are subject to reviews on VRBO that are not verified for accuracy, and we could warn other owners about our experiences, etc.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).ppv1 Apr 2, 2012 4:35 PM (in response to dbmeyer)
The site seems to be up and working again. I use this before replying to every inquiry I receive. So far I have not had a single person come up in their database as a red flag so to speak. I do like the fact that it does offer an outlet to report bad guests AND recommend the good guests as well.
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).lillyfan Apr 17, 2012 7:34 AM (in response to guestchecker)
Hello Guestchecker, I was reading through this discussion and had a couple of questions. One, you mention it needs to be stated on the homeowner's listing website that "At any time before, during, or after your stay with us your information may be shared with Guestchecker". Someone had mentioned in this discussion that she tried to put this on her VRBO site, but it won't take it due to the .com; I did not see a reply to this. And does it need to be added to each listing site where we advertise? Also, just had guests over Spring Break who left the home in a real mess. Group of 18 - they were several families (our home sleeps up to 18). My cleaners told me it was the worst they had seen it in 4 years and charged me $100 extra. No damage, just trash, sand, dirty dishes, beds moved, etc., which required two extra cleaners for a total of 14 man hours (usually takes 8 hours). I told the guest yesterday about why we were keeping $100 of the deposit, and of course she is in denial, saying she owns her own cleaning company (I laughed hard at that one) and they didn't trash the home. Anyway, does Guestchecker allow for listing guests who leave it a mess and require extra cleaning charges or is the site only for guests who create more serious problems? Thanks!
Re: GuestChecker questions/comments (Open Forum).ppv1 May 24, 2012 3:43 PM (in response to lillyfan)
You can report all kinds of issues, including the need for extra cleaning.

Eagle Scout Troop 510
Since 1973, the Grand Island Neighbors Foundation has been providing emergency assistance to Grand Island residents who find themselves in temporary need. This strictly volunteer-driven organization partners with local community organizations to collect and stock donations of food, toiletries, and other household supplies in its pantry based at the Old St. Stephen R.C. Church. This year, the need for support within the community has continuously risen to an all-time high, with current demand from needy families reaching about four times previous levels.
Following a lead from Linda Tufillaro of the Neighbors Foundation Board of Directors, the boys and families of Troop 510 Boy Scouts, based at Trinity United Methodist Church, organized a collection of toiletry items to support the pantry at this time of heightened need. Over a two-week period, the boys collected shampoos and conditioners, soaps, toothpaste and toothbrushes, razors, etc. In addition, the troop and families made monetary donations totaling $170.
Troop 510 collects shampoo, soap, toothpaste ...
Dobmeier Janitor Supply of Englewood Avenue in Buffalo also generously contributed several large boxes of toilet paper, paper towels, and body wash/ shampoo. Linda Dobmeier, company vice president, commented, "I know that Troop 510 has a strong record of community service on Grand Island. After hearing about how these boys and their families had made such an outstanding effort to support the Neighbors Foundation, we were delighted to be able to supplement their collection of toiletries."
The donations were presented to Dennis Dahl of the Neighbors Foundation, at their pantry, on Monday, March 11.
Community service is a key tenet of the Boy Scouts of America and you can find out more about Troop 510 scouting activities by visiting www.gi510scouts.com. If you or your organization would like to help the Grand Island Neighbors Foundation, you can do so by donating and/or volunteering.

Swedish midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has signed with Scottish giants Celtic and could make his debut in Sunday's Old Firm derby against rivals Rangers at Ibrox.
The 33-year-old passed a medical exam on Thursday, and the club's website announced the signing later in the day.
Ljungberg, who joined the Chicago Fire as a Designated Player midway through last season, was out of contract after the Fire decided not to pick up his option. He had been training with Celtic all week.
"While Freddie's time with the Fire was brief, he made an immediate impact on the team both on and off the field, and we wish him the very best with Celtic FC," Chicago Fire technical director Frank Klopas said. "He's a gifted player and natural leader who quickly gained the respect of his teammates, Fire staff and our fans."
Ljungberg had a storied career at Arsenal from 1998-2007, during which he won two EPL titles and three FA Cup medals. He joined the Seattle Sounders at the beginning of their 2009 inaugural season, scoring two goals and adding nine assists en route to an appearance in the playoffs.
He tallied two goals and seven assists for the Fire in 15 appearances.
"I want to say that I had an amazing time in Chicago and I really mean that," Ljungberg said. "The city was great and so were the people of Chicago who I felt embraced me in a great way. I built a strong relationship with the fans and that was something that always meant a lot to me."
"I want to wish Carlos and the team all the success. I loved playing under Carlos with his offensive style and beautiful passing game."
"I made a lot of great friends both in the club and off the pitch. Although its sad to leave, I take with me many happy memories."
"On a last note, I had 2 fantastic years in America and have seen MLS go from strength to strength and I would not trade my time there for anything in the world."
"We think he's got great caliber," Celtic manager Neil Lennon told media earlier this week. "He's been a world-class player for a long time."
Celtic are currently top of the Scottish Premier League and sit just a single point above rivals Rangers, who have played two fewer games.
Toronto FC captain Dwayne De Rosario has also been training with Celtic, though both the club and the league have claimed they did not authorized the session.

Clueless Wonder Orly Taitz Appeals Again Surprise Surprise
"Standard Orly Operating Procedure" ("SOOP")
1st Ignore reality
2nd File as much crap as you can as fast as you can
3rd File everything as either an emergency motion or emergency appeal
4th Appeal everything
5th Accuse everyone of being a criminal
6th Lose anyway
This is the pattern that has been unbroken since Orly Taitz made her birfer début 3 years ago. And true to form, she has sent an "Emergency Appeal" to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp to set aside the recommendation issued by Judge Malihi in Farrar v Obama. As usual you can always find all of the birther court documents at "Jack Ryan's Scribd". (Thanks Jack!) And Orly's Emergency Appeal can be read in its entirety at Jack's "Here"
She begins (as usual) shouting (all in upper case) that the Judge is not just WRONG for not deciding in her favor, but "criminally wrong".
Again a clear case of "SOOP", and of course her screeching is not just directed at the Judge in this case. She fires off in all directions.
"Not only Obama did not show up at the proceedings and did not provide any certified copies of his vital records, also, Director of Health of the state of Hawaii, Loretta Fuddy did not show up at the proceedings and did not provide any records. Orly Taitz, Counsel for Plaintiffs, flew to Hawaii 5 times at her own dime and served the director of Health with Federal and state subpoenas. Director of Health refused to cooperate, refused to appear and refused to provide access to any vital records for Obama, even though he posted an alleged copy of his birth certificate on line and privacy considerations no longer applied. Based on the above facts, it is clear that the Director of Health of Hawaii and the Registrar are being complicit in either releasing a forgery or guilty of criminal cover up, whereby they are aware, that Obama's alleged copy of his birth certificate is a forgery, they have an affirmative duty to speak up and they did not do so."
She truly sounds very much like a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum. "Waaaaahhhh they're all ignoring meeeeee".
"This behavior of judge Malihi was so outrageous, that not only his advisory opinion needs to be set aside, as not grounded in any fact or law, but state and county grand juries and the Attorney General of Georgia need to launch a criminal investigation into actions of judge Malihi and possible direct or indirect undue influence by Obama. Decision by Malihi reads, as if it was entirely written by Obama's personal attorneys Robert Bauer and Judith Corley of Perkins Coie and rubber stamped by Malihi. It is noteworthy, that both Robert Bauer and Judith Corley need to be criminally investigated as well, as both of them were complicit in aiding and abetting Obama in presenting to the public on April 27, 2011 a computer generated forgery and claiming it to be a true and correct copy of Obama's birth certificate. Such assumption by Malihi, that Obama was born in the U.S., without any documentary evidence to that extent from Obama, goes beyond an abuse of judicial disretion, it represents judicial misconduct."
"SOOP" Orly is always right, and everyone that does not agree with that is a criminal. She goes on in her "appeal" to re-plead her entire losing (full of shit) argument to the SOS and finally comes to her "Conclusions".
"Advisory opinion by judge Malihi is erroneous and represents a gross abuse of judicial discretion. Advisory opinion by judge Malihi was made in complete contradiction of all the facts of the case, state law, U.S. Constitution and known precedents and decisions by judge Malihi himself. It appears that the advisory opinion by judge Malihi was made as a result of some undue pressure from the defendant Obama, who as a sitting President has vast abilities to apply undue pressure on judges."
According to Orly EVERY Judge that she comes in contact with has been "pressured" by Obama. (Eyes Roll!)
"Advisory opinion by judge Malihi needs to be set aside. Obama should be prevented from appearing on the ballot, as he did not present any evidence to prove that he is a natural born citizen. No original identification and birth records were provided by defendant Obama, no certified copies were provided. No defense was provided whatsoever. Obama was in contempt of court. Obama should be excluded from the ballot in the state of GA."
I think the fact that she can't even win against an empty chair completely unopposed is really biting her ass.
"Case file with exhibits and court transcripts need to be forwarded to the County, State and Federal grand juries for criminal prosecution of Obama and any and all accomplices of Obama for elections fraud, uttering of forged and altered documents, obstruction of justice, wire fraud, Social Security fraud and conspiracy to commit aforementioned felonious acts. Criminal investigation of any undue influence on judge Malihi need to be launched by the investigative unit of the office of the Secretary of State and all of the above grand juries, as well as Attorney General of GA. Additionally, criminal investigation of actions of Director of Health of Hawaii Loretta Fuddy, Registrar Alvin Onaka, Deputy Attorney General Jill Nagamine, Commissioner of Social Security Michael Astrue and others involved in this matter, should be launched by the aforementioned grand juries and Attorney General of GA."
Orly not only wants the Georgia SOS to start criminal investigations of the POTUS, she wants him to go after officials in the state of Hawaii as well as the Social Security Administration. This idiot has no fucking clue what so ever!
Anyone want to bet on the outcome of this clueless wonder's latest appeal?
I thought not.

I saw this morning on her crappy web site that she is spinning new conspiracy theories about Judge Mahili's background.
H/T to you Ms. Daisy for coining and defining the term SOOP. Orly's pathological bad behavior is so utterly predictable now, that simply saying SOOP sums it all up, from now on.ReplyDelete
I do expect this year will *finally* result in some more sanctions headed her way, as well as *finally* getting declared a vexatious litigant.
However, I suspect even that will barely slow down her SOOP.
Until the CA Bar finally gets a clue and strips her law license, I'm sure we'll be entertained and the courts will be bogged down with her frantic mad farce.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but Orly Taitz wouldn't know a true "fact" if it walked up and bit her on the ass.

You are entitled to your own set of opinions, Anonymous, but not to your own set of facts. I am not a lawyer, but I can detect a crap argument a mile off, and Orly Taitz, on the basis of her recent filings, couldn't assemble a decent argument if her life depended on it. Most of her "facts" are allegations, often poorly constructed and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, with support from a strange brew of discussions from every point of the compass, presumptions with no supported basis in fact, all glued together with pretentious statements assuming assent on the part of the reader. Nowhere in any of this pile of steaming feritlizer is there any coherent legal argument that a court would recognize as having validity. This is why the current scorecard on lawsuits for Orly and her rag-tag-and-bobtail collection of adherents is close to 0-100.ReplyDelete

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, defeated former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum by eight votes in the Iowa caucus, which had low voter turnout. Representative Ron Paul finished third.
Feminist Majority President Eleanor Smeal stated, "This shows the extreme and unrepresentative nature of the Iowa Republican caucus. Santorum is opposed not only to abortion but wants to repeal Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) and allow states to ban birth control access. He indicated this as recently as Monday on ABC news. Santorum wants to ensure that there is no right to privacy at all and no right to access birth control."
During his campaign for governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney indicated his support for numerous pro-choice laws; however, once elected, he proved hostile to women's reproductive rights and vetoed a bill that would grant rape survivors improved access to contraceptive services. Romney also recently endorsed a Mississippi "personhood" ballot measure, which states that life begins at conception and proposes to give constitutional rights to a fertilized egg. The initiative was defeated by voters in November.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America said in her statement, "Former Gov. Romney may have won first place in Iowa, but his anti-choice views are out of touch with our nation's values and priorities. Romney has pledged to support policies that would undermine women's freedom and privacy at every turn...We will make sure that Romney's extreme views - and his flip flops on this issue - are a liability."
After finishing sixth, Bachmann announced that she is ending her campaign for the Republican nomination. Until the end, she claimed that the reason she ran was to repeal "Obamacare" and that it provides taxpayer funding for abortion, which is simply not true. Bachmann said that 2012 is the last chance to repeal "Obamacare."

Every day, the human body perspires to maintain constant internal body
temperature. Perspiration is regulated by the Sympathetic Nervous System,
which controls about five million sweat glands in the body, with about
half of these being located in the hands. Sweating in the right hand is
controlled by branches of the right sympathetic chain that is located
within the right chest cavity. Sweating in the left hand is controlled
by branches of the left sympathetic chain that is located in the left
chest. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes perspiration far
greater than the physiological needs of the body. The most common areas
where hyperhidrosis occurs are the hands, feet and face, primarily in
adolescents, and its cause is unknown. This site will focus on excessive
sweating of the hands, also known as Essential Palmar Hyperhidrosis.
Persons with palmar hyperhidrosis often seek treatment because the condition
almost always causes great distress, which may impair their quality of
life causing numerous psychological, educational, and occupational problems.
Palmar hyperhidrosis may not seem like a serious enough problem to warrant
surgery, but individuals who suffer from hyperhidrosis deal with everything
from minor issues such as smudged paper to major ones such as difficulty
holding pens, tools, buttons and social isolation. Perhaps the most distressing
result of palmar hyperhidrosis is the discomfort and embarrassment caused
by the simple act of shaking hands. In fact, many patients with palmar
hyperhidrosis will avoid social situations or pick a profession that requires
little interaction with others.

Last week it was still November here in the Comox Valley and it was snowing. Lots of big, fat flakes drifting down. I was raised in semi-desert and find snow pretty darn romantic, but I understand if many of our readers don't. Too much of anything is too much. Anyhow, it wasn't very cold near Comox and it took two days of snow before it began to stick, at least down near sea level. Comic strip buffs may remember the "pitch white outside" line as one stolen, blatantly, from the Peanuts gang, Linus I think… The line popped into my head as I walked through a local nature park with my dogs, Tip and Pocos, who both find snow to be almost as much fun as eating. They rolled in it, plowed their noses through it, jumped and ran around in it until I was more than a bit dizzy from watching and breathless from laughing!
When I got back from my walk I decided to check the headlines (I'm a bit of a news junkie) and low and behold I read that Whistler/Blackcomb is opening early! The next day I read that Mt. Washington is opening a week early too. Skiers, I thought, you are in for a great season. If the resorts close to the sea are ready already then those in the rest of the province must be looking at pretty nice conditions as well. I'm not a skier myself. I gave the slopes my very best for several seasons when my children were small and found that I spent most of my time trying to get up with legs akimbo and skis pointing all about at angles never intended. I have poignant memories of a beginning ski class at a big resort. I was about 28 years old with two children ages 6 and 2. Mercifully the 2 year old was in a day care facility there, but the 6 year old came zooming past me waving and yelling "C'mon dad, I'll race ya!" as I struggled to free my legs from the skis and get up off my back for the umpteenth time in less than two hours. I recall two nuns in the class, clad in habits no less, who managed to stay on their feet/skis, get on and off the lift for the "bunny hill" and get down that gentle slope intact. I, however, did not.
That's enough of my rambling, I really want to remind you skiers, sledders, snowshoers and other daredevils of the powder to think B&B when you plan those sojourns to the mountains for skiing in BC. Many of our BC Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers Guild members are close to great skiing and some offer special packages just for you. Rest assured your owner prepared B&B breakfast will be far superior to the cup of waffle batter you pour into the waffle maker for breakfast at many of the big chain motels and hotels offering a "B&B experience". Have a terrific time out there and I will have a terrific time by the fireplace with a bit of brandy!

Aged Jimmy Page Signature Double Neck Up for Charity Auction!
A rare "aged" reproduction of Jimmy Page's s signature Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar is being sold for charity with eBay Giving Works, eBay's dedicated charity listing program. The Jimmy Page Guitar Charity Auction began July 23 and will run through August 2, 2007 with 10 percent of the proceeds benefiting the MusiCares Foundation.
Guitar collectors and fans of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin can place bids from now until 5 p.m. PST on August 2, 2007, when the charity auction will close. All bidders must be pre-qualified through Kompolt Online Auction Agency.
The winning bidder will receive No. 11 of the just 26 Limited Edition Gibson guitars replicated after the one Page played during the 1971 Led Zeppelin IV tour. Jimmy Page personally played and then signed each of the 26, keeping No. 1 for himself. This particular replica is identical to the original inside and out, with not only the same unique electronics, but identical scrapes, scratches, dents and dings—all administered by Jimmy over the years through heavy tour use of the original guitar—painstakingly recreated by Gibson's Custom Shop, the industry pioneers and leaders of the guitar aging process.
Since the night it was purchased at a private "Platinum Night" event held at the San Jose, California, Guitar Center earlier this year, the guitar has been kept sealed in the box; it has never been displayed publicly or privately. The only fingerprints on the guitar are from Jimmy Page himself.
The guitar comes with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Jimmy Page.
Visit www.ebay.com/jimmypageguitar for more information or to place a bid.

McAfee Internet Security 2010 is one of the most difficult antivirus suites to review, as we don't actually know what it looks like.
This is because the software is in a crossover period and what you'll find if you buy this version is the current build with all the updates for this year. Subscribers will be sent the new McAfee Internet Security 2010 as a download when it's finally released.
So if you invest in a copy of McAfee Internet Security 2010 right now, what will you find?
For starters, McAfee has one of the longest installs of any of the suites here. The interface hasn't changed in the past couple of years and will be one of the major changes in the new update.
You'll find there are four main areas - Computer & Files, Internet & Network, Email & IM and Parental Controls - each of which drop down into more refined controls.
The Parental Controls are rather basic, as you can merely set up keyword and website filtering, but not lock the system down or set timed access.
When carrying out scans, McAfee uses the latest heuristic technologies, so you'll find that scans and updates are being carried out in the background.
When you do need to run scans, McAfee has a great detection rate, but it's not the fastest of suites. If you want to use the default settings, then McAfee Internet Security 2010 works exceedingly well, showing the protected status of your system with a large green tick when all is well and changing to amber or a red cross should there be problems that need attending to.
In its 2009 state, the current version of McAfee Internet Security works extremely well, delivering decent protection. It's not the fastest suite here, but that could change when the planned updates happen.
If you can hold off investing in an internet security suite until later in 2010, then McAfee may well be the perfect option, but it's hard to recommend until we've seen the updates.

Horse Packers and Wagon Masters
It's said history was written on the back of a horse. It took the introduction of the strong, swift animals to carry humans and their ideas to a wider audience. Even today, horses and mules can help carry us into places we might never otherwise get to go. A horse and a rider can cover great distances. Add large packs and you can really increase your possibilities.
Or you could take it a step further by hitching teams of animals to wagons that can haul just about anything over rough and tumble terrain.
These pastimes used to be commonplace but now they are not so ordinary. We met a man who rides hundreds of miles for charity, teamsters guiding wagons along dusty pathways and back country horsemen travelling high into the mountains. We learned working with animals is a pursuit that inspires a special passion in many people.

Soccer Slam seems like a simple game on the surface, but is actually full of nuances and features. In addition to explaining the controls and options, we'll talk about game mechanics, which is what sets this puppy apart from every soccer game on the market. Read on!
Practice Mode is a good place for any beginner to start. It explains all of the controls and functions in the game simply and concisely and lets you immediately test your skills. The skills are as follows:
1. Passing
2. Give-and-Go Pass
3. Volley Passes
4. Give-and-Go Volley Pass
5. Aiming Passes
6. Turbo
7. Steals
8. Hits
9. Dekes
10. Protects
11. Shooting
12. Flip Shots
13. One Timer Shots
14. One Timer Volley Shots
15. Spotlight Shots
16. Killer Kicks
Go head-to-head against the computer or your friends in a single match. You can play one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-one, or any number (up to three) against the computer. As in all modes, after you select the team you'd like to play with, you'll get the option to lock on to a specific player (meaning player three always uses Arsonault, for example). This is accomplished by moving your controller icon over the specific player you'd like to control. Or, you can generally control the team and switch between players by placing your controller icon over the team logo on the Assign Controller screen.
When playing exhibition, you can select any of the six teams you'd like to play with, then select the specific stadium you want to play in. When you first begin, not all of the stadia will be unlocked. To open up a specific team's home stadium, compete for the Continental Cup in Quest Mode. If you win, you'll unlock that team's pitch, and it will become available for Exhibition play.
This is a round robin affair between six teams. You can have up to six players competing, each with their own user name. This is the perfect mode for those who want to stage a structured event between multiple players. The player with the most points at the end wins the tourney.
Quest Mode allows you to take an individual team through a series of matches in a quest for the Continental Cup, the most coveted prize the soccer world has to offer. There are ten games total, then a Semifinal, then a Final. You'll have to finish in the top four to qualify for the Semifinal, then win that match to qualify for the final. Along the way, you will earn money as you progress through the weeks. As you win more and more, the paychecks get larger and larger. If your team wins it all, you will get a huge money bonus and also unlock your team's home stadium for Exhibitionn use.
Note: Once you beat the Quest Mode with a team, all of the money you earned and all of the items you've unlocked will be saved. That way, if you go back and try the Quest Mode again with the same team (perhaps on a different difficulty setting), all of the enhancements that you've already made available will be there.
Compete in Challenges for extra Money in between matches. Just move to the Challenge and select it to play. You will get $100 for each point you earn in Challenges. They will test things like One-timers, shooting, Killer Kick and more. Not only is this good practice, but it will help you build your earnings a lot faster.
Halfway through the season, two All-Star teams are assembled: Gold and Platinum. If one of your players is good enoughm he or she will be placed on this team. If you win an All-Star game, you will be given a whopping $500 to spend on your crew. The more money you earn the more you'll have to spend in the Shop, where you can buy Concept Art (some of which contains valuable codes) or Items to enhance your players. Each player has
Quest Mode can be played through with up to three people on the same team. At the controller select screen, assign each person an individual player by placing the controller icon over that player's head, or allow players to switch during the game by placing the controller icon in the center of the screen, over the team logo.
The Options menu is accessible from the main menu screen. In this section, we'll break down exactly what each part means.
Game Settings
Sound Settings
Allows you to set the volume for Announcer, Character, Crowd, Effects and Music. Defaults are set to 8.
Camera Settings
Controller Config
Allows you to remap the buttons according to your wishes. In addition to the Default control, there are two Presets and a Custom mapping feature.
Memory Card
If you have a user name saved, this is where you will find your overall record with that specific name.
See a list of the good folks who brought you the game.
Play Mechanics
Soccer Slam features the same gameplay mechanics as the sport of soccer, and a lot of innovations not found in more simulation-style soccer games. Both are discussed below.
While playing, you'll notice a couple of arrows at the ball-handlers's feet. These are passing indicators. They keep track of where the other two players are on the pitch at all times. The longer, filled-in arrow shows who your pass is currently aimed at. This is especially helpful to keep track of when a player you want to pass to is offscreen.
You can aim your shots by moving the control stick in the direction you want the ball to travel. Therefore, if you want to blast it by the keeper in the upper right corner, press UP+RIGHT while you're shooting to place the ball there.
Charging up a Shot
While shooting, you can charge up a shot by pressing and holding the shoot button. This will make the shot more powerful and more likely to score. It will also make for a bigger rebound if the goalie saves it but does not catch it.
String together several series of moves (for instance: slide tackles, one-time-pass, shoot), in order to grow your Combo Points. Once you have accumulated some points, you can use them to Power-Up a player for a moment, making him/her faster and stronger. Fill the meter up all the way to enable a Killer Kick.
The Killer Kick
Once your Combo meter is full, it will begin to blink, and display the message Killer Kick. To perform this special kick, press R+A to launch the ball into the air. A green circle will appear on the pitch. Maneuver a player to the center of that green circle. When the shaft of light forms, press the shoot button, and the camera will center behind you. A target will appear. Aim it where you want it to go within the goal and try to zing the shot by the keeper.
The Spotlight Kick
The Spotlight Kick (or Shot) operates on the same principle. To get the spotlight to appear, possess the ball on the opponent's side of the field consistently. Soon, you will see a random, sweeping spotlight appear. Press the shoot button inside the spotlight and you will raise in the air to perform a special kick Aim it using the target, as discussed above.
The Keeper
Each keeper is outfitted with pads that keep him protected. As he turns aside powerful shots, pieces of this armor slough off. As he loses his armor, he gets weaker and slower, less able to react to shots. Therefore, in order to beat a keeper, you'll have to loosen him up first.
Soccer Slam allows players to control the goaltender if they wish. To allow control, go to the options menu. Under Game Settings, turn Goalie Control to the Off position. This will allow you to select the keeper as a playable character as you cycle through team members.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband Prince Frederic Von Anhalt is calling on controversial German anatomist Gunther Von Hagens to immortalize the ailing actress' body after she dies.
The ageing star, 93, has been in and out of hospital since breaking her hip at the couple's Beverly Hills home in July and friends, fans and family members fear she is facing her final days.
But Gabor's legacy will live on, if von Anhalt gets his way – he wants her remains to be preserved by plastination, according to Germany's Bild newspaper.
And he wants von Hagens, the man behind the controversial Body Worlds exhibitions, to perform the preservation procedure.
The German businessman says, "My wife has always dreamed that her beauty would be immortal. I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films."
Gabor's film credits includes appearances in movies such as 1952's Moulin Rouge and Orson Welles' Touch of Evil in 1958.

The EV67, EV68 and EV7 systems price vs performence appears reasonable to me, assuming that you really need a 64 bit Architecture.

The Alpha EV7 CPU will probably be last the alpha chip produced as we know it. I believe the EV7 systems should be out late summer or in the fall. I suspect that these systems will be available until at lease 2005. When the the Hammer chips / systems are released or the next release of Itanium, we will have to wait and see how they compare to Alpha.

The British airman, who sports a handlebar moustache in the proud tradition of the RAF, refused to comply when his superior officer in Afghanistan took offence at his facial hair.
Showing a bravado akin to that of Biggles, he fought back, eventually convincing the general that his generous whiskers were in line with regulations laid down by the Queen herself.
The moustache was once such a part of the RAF uniform that rules during the Second World War stated: "The whole of the upper lip shall remain unshaven."
Flt Lt Ball was told to cut his back while on a posting with the American Air Force 366 Fighter Squadron, where he operates an F-15 fighter-bomber.
The general said that US pilots were only allowed to grow small moustaches and insisted that Flt Lt Ball followed suit, but he refused.
Instead the RAF fighter pilot decided to go above the head of his superior officer and consulted regulations approved by the Queen which set out the permitted size of an RAF moustache.
Flt Lt Ball measured his whiskers and to his delight they did not contravene the rules. He took his findings to the general, and after a frank "exchange of views" was allowed to keep the facial hair intact.
Flt Lt Ball said: "The yanks are not allowed to grow a full-length tash. After I was told to trim mine down I had to dig out the Queen's Regulations to prove I was not breaching our own code."
In 2007 the RAF relaxed its restrictions on facial hair for men serving in Afghanistan, because beards are thought to be a sign of status in the country.

QB Kevin Kolb arrives in Buffalo to officially sign with Bills
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Quarterback Kevin Kolb has arrived in Buffalo to officially sign his two-year contract with the Bills.
The Bills announced the signing Monday, a little over a week after the free agent agreed to a two-year contract potentially worth more than $12 million.
The sixth-year player spent the past two seasons in Arizona, where injuries hampered his opportunity to prove himself as a starter. He was cut by the Cardinals last month in a salary-cap saving move.
In Buffalo, he gets the opportunity to compete for the starting job with Tarvaris Jackson. The Bills are in need of a starter after Ryan Fitzpatrick was released last month.
Kolb spent his first four seasons with Philadelphia after being selected by the Eagles in second round of the 2007 draft.

SEATTLE – Fredy Montero broke out of his season-long scoring slump and Eddie Johnson continued his recent run of good form as the Seattle Sounders beat the LA Galaxy 2-0 on Wednesday.
Even though the Sounders (5-1-1, 16 points) faced a significantly less-than-first-choice Galaxy lineup, they will surely take the points without apology.
The Sounders had not beaten the Galaxy (3-4-1, 10 points) in an MLS match in two years, a stretch of six matches. When Johnson scored the game's first goal in the 40th minute, it marked the first time the Sounders had led the Galaxy at CenturyLink Field in 364 minutes.
Johnson, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Montreal Impact, has now scored in two straight games after failing to score a professional goal since 2010. Though his goal on Saturday was more of the opportunistic variety, there was nothing cheap about his strike against LA.
Match Highlights
Mauro Rosales sent in a cross from the right wing and Johnson found some space between a pair of defenders, striking a snap header from the penalty spot past Galaxy goalkeeper Bill Gaudette.
The real highlight of the evening belonged to Montero, though. After a rough first half in which he missed a pair of chances from about six yards out – including one from point-blank range that he hit right at a defenseless Gaudette – Montero broke out of his season-long scoring slump with right-footed rocket from about 35 yards out.
From that point forward, the Galaxy never really looked capable of coming back. Mike Magee came closest to getting the Galaxy on the scoreboard, but his right-footed effort in the 63rd minute went just inches wide.
That the Galaxy looked less than their best, though it didn't come as a huge surprise. Bruce Arena opted to rest a number of players for the midweek match, with David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Todd Dunivant among those left off the travel roster.
OPTA Chalkboard: Alonso dominant in midfield
The Sounders, meanwhile, used a lineup that was much closer to first choice, although it was their seventh different starting group in as many games. The only change from their win over the Chicago Fire was Zach Scott's start at right back, while Rosales and Johnson made expected starts on short rest.
The home side did have to make an unexpected change though, as goalkeeper Bryan Meredith logged his first MLS minutes when first-choice Michael Gspurning had to come out at halftime with a right hip injury. The two goalkeepers shared what was the Sounders' fourth shutout of the season.

TIME has made E.T. and me very happy. However, a comment slipped in that is unfair to Tobe Hooper, the director of Poltergeist. I am quoted as indicating that I took over the project. While I was creatively involved in the entire production, Tobe Hooper alone was the director.

If you are curious about the lack of fire and brimstone emenating from the Phillies clubhouse in the wake of their 16-inning, 5-hour-and-20-minute fiasco of a loss to the Astros last night, know this:
Baseball is a game of controlled aggression, not only on its playing surface, but in the interpersonal relationships that lubricate its machinations.
A player must keep that in mind when he is dealing with his teammates. A manager must keep it in mind when dealing with his players. And all of the above must keep it in mind when they are dealing with the umpires.
"I don't know a team in baseball that got anywhere complaining and arguing about the umpires," Charlie Manuel said after one of the more bizarre games you will see.
Most games unfold in a three-act structure, but not this one. No, this was all set-up and conflict, with the resolution remaining very much in doubt. There was a concrete short-term finish, with the Phillies losing a marathon battle that kept them from pulling to within 1.5 games of the Braves in the NL East. But as the clubhouse quickly emptied, there was an air of uncertainty about how a team might respond in the wake of such an emotional defeat.
At first glance, the Phillies appeared to emerge in good health from a precarious set of circumstances that included their newly-acquired veteran righthander playing left field, their veteran left fielder playing first base, and their bullpen stretched to a point where Thursday starter Kyle Kendrick was preparing himself to take the mound. When Ryan Howard was ejected for throwing his bat and helmet after an appealed check swing strikeout to end the 14th with the winning run on third, it touched of a tense sequence of events that culminated in Roy Oswalt entering the game as an outfielder and Raul Ibanez moving to a position he last played in 2005.
Howard, who was called for two check swinging strikes for his fifth strikeout on an 0-for-7 night, charged third base umpire Scott Barry after Barry ejected him.
"I've never seen him upset like that," Manuel said. "I've seen him mad, but he was pretty upset."
After Howard was restrained and order was restored -- Ross Gload, currently on the disabled list, was also ejected, apparently for yelling from the dugout -- the Phillies were left with just seven available players to fill eight positions. Ibanez, who played first base early on in his career, volunteered his services, although he was probably the only option. After initially taking a first base mitt from pitcher Joe Blanton, he switched to the glove that reserve first baseman Mike Sweeney usually uses in games.
Oswalt, scheduled to start on Friday in San Diego, trotted out to left field to face his former teammates. He ended up recording the first out of the 15th, shagging a fly ball that Jason Castro hit directly at him. Ibanez recorded the last two, taking a flip from Herndon for the second out, then fielding a Michael Bourn bunt and making a diving tag of first base for the third.
"There's a saying in baseball," Ibanez said. "The ball will find you."
The Phillies ultimately ran out of gas in the 16th. David Herndon, who had already pitched a scoreless 14th and 15th, loaded the bases with one out and then allowed a single and a groundout, both of which pushed a run home.
"I felt fine," Herndon said. "I think I cut a few balls off. Physically, I felt fine."
Herndon threw 50 pitches, a season-high, but not abnormally-so. Previously this season, he has thrown outings of 49, 45 and 41 pitches.
Overall, the Phillies pitching staff kept them in the game longer than you might have thought. Cole Hamels allowed two runs in seven innings, but was on the hook for the loss until Jimmy Rollins tied the game on a home run with two out in the bottom of the ninth. Brad Lidge threw his 10th straight scoreless outing, twice as long as any stretch he put together last season. He also did not walk a batter for his 10th straight game, tying a career-high. Ryan Madson pitched for the 8th time in 11 days and recorded a scoreless inning. Every other Phillies reliever aside from Herndon entered the game and left without giving up a run.
Oswalt ended the game by grounding out with runners on first and second and the remaining crowd loudly chanting his name.
Besides the loss, the Phillies emerged from the night unscathed. Now, the question is how they will rebound. Their next off day doesn't occur for another 14 days. During that span, they will play 15 games.
"We'll find out," right fielder Jayson Werth said. "I know I haven't been playing the game as long as some people, but that's the first I've seen of anything like that. I'm not even going to say what I want to say. I'm going to sleep on it."
It was a sentiment echoed by all of the Phillies who spoke to the media in the aftermath of the loss. For the second straight night, a member of the umpiring crew made a crucial split-second decision that could have changed the outcome of the game.
Was Barry right to toss Howard in that situation? Should he have taken into consideration the extenuating circumstances of the game? Or was Howard's post-strikeout reaction, combined with the earlier hard look he tossed toward Barry after the ump called an earlier check swing a strike, grounds for immediate dismissal?
"I don't have anything to say," Ibanez said diplomatically.
Howard was not available for comment afterward.
"I'm sure it was just something that built up from the first check swing," center fielder Shane Victorino. "Is it right? Is it wrong? I don't know. I'm not the one to make the judgment on that. . .We've just got to move on. YOu've got to understand that it's his discretion on how he feels. . .Scott's a great guy, but a situation like that, hopefully he can be a little more lenient in that situation. Ryan is not a guy that's going to get upset. But who's right, who's wrong? I'm not going to say anybody is right or anybody is wrong. Scott made his decision and it is what it is. We've just go to overlook that and find a way to win and unfortunately we didn't."
Put simply, the Phillies know they need to score more than two runs in 16 innings against a last-place team if they hope to end this regular season in the same place they have ended the last three. And they know they can't afford to add the umpires to the already-lengthy list of enemies they must combat.
