What's Good: Large 3.5-inch touchscreen, OS has a great deal of potential, good battery life for a smartphone.
What's Bad: Earpiece volume is low and user interface needs work before it reaches mainstream appeal.
Though not prevalent in the retail space just yet, Nokia's Maemo operating system has serious potential. Enter the Nokia N900, the first Maemo-powered cellular phone from the Finnish company. Featuring a large touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, and a new OS, one would think that it's ready for mainstream use. I believe that the Nokia N900 is a great step forward for the company, but the device needs refinement before it could be considered a competitor in the marketplace of iPhone, Android, webOS, and BlackBerry.
Design & Features
The Nokia N900 ships with the device, battery, home charger, USB cable, stereo headphones, a cleaning cloth, video-out cables, and instruction manuals. Coming in at 4.37 inches long by 2.35 inches wide by 0.77 inch thick, the N900 weighs 6.38 ounces, making it slightly heavier and bulkier than the average smartphone on today's market. Though the body is made of plastic, you can tell that the N900 is durable. The 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen houses 16.7 million colors and 800 x 480 pixels. With 32GB of internal storage, the N900 offers a 600 MHz TI OMAP 3430 (ARM Cortex-A8) processor, and does a fantastic job at nearly any task you throw at it. I was able to multitask with 16 windows without issue.
The top of the device contains the microUSB charging port and speaker, while the right side houses the volume rocker, power button, camera shortcut key, and an IR receiver. The bottom of the device contains the lock switch, 3.5mm headphone jack, and an additional speaker. The 5.0-megapixel camera is housed on the back of the device, along with a kickstand. The front and left side of the device do not have any physical or touch buttons.
Usability & Performance
The Nokia N900 ships with Maemo 5, Nokia's Linux-based OS platform. In a nutshell, Maemo is a phenomenal OS concept, but has quite a way to go before it garners any sort of mainstream appeal. The OS is certainly more fluid and relevant than Symbian, but I was often perplexed at certain things that were left off that could confuse a potential buyer. For example, when in the menu (see picture above), there is no visible way to exit out of it, and no buttons on the front of the device to end a task. You do get used to it over time (the exit button is hidden in the top-left corner of the screen), but it's a bit cumbersome, and would be challenging for new users to become familiar with.
Though it has been rumored to come in future updates, all applications (with the exception of the phone menu) work in landscape mode only. I had no problem with this, but I can see users getting frustrated by not being able to use their favorite apps in portrait mode. Thanks to a software update earlier in the week, the N900 supports Nokia's Ovi Store, though the app store is still in its infancy. That being said, a functional app store is essential in order to be successful in today's wireless marketplace, and it's nice to finally see the store support the Maemo platform. The number of useful apps in the marketplace pale in comparison to the App Catalog, Android Market, and the Apple App Store, but it's a start.
The keyboard on the Nokia N900 offers an ample amount of tactile feedback, though it's arranged differently than other keyboards on the market. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the spacious BlackBerry keyboards, but the N900's keyboard placement is a bit off. Consolidated into three rows, the space bar is centered to the right, and the keyboard letters are centered differently than a typical QWERTY layout. Over the course of a week, I was able to get used to it and type with a reasonable amount of speed, but it may be frustrating for those that pound out e-mails or text messages on a regular basis.
The device ships with a 5.0-megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, and in my testing, image quality was very good. Editing options include white balance settings, an auto-focus, seven color effects, scene modes, three image quality choices, and a macro setting. The video camcorder offers less options, but allows you to record up to 30 seconds for MMS, or longer for a normal video.
The N900 sports a 1320mAh battery with a rated talk time of 9 hours on EDGE, and 5 hours on 3G. With moderate use encompassing text messaging, calling, e-mail, web browsing, and social networking, I was able to make it just over a day before the device powered down. With little to no use, the device lasted about two and a half days. Like any other smartphone, I expected the battery life to be relatively short, but I was quite pleased with the Nokia N900, given the large touchscreen and its "always-on" functionality. As always, battery numbers will vary with the level of usage that they're subjected to between charging cycles, but the device should be fine for the average individual that's near an outlet at the end of each day. For those frequently away from the home or office, make sure to purchase a car charger or an extra battery.
The device was tested in the Charlotte area, and though call quality was very good, I had trouble hearing out of the earpiece. Despite that, callers reported that they were able to hear me well, and reception was strong on my end. When I placed the device on my shoulder (thanks to carrying various bags), call quality was equally good, with myself and my other party reporting favorable results. Additionally, when visiting a known AT&T dead spot, I found calls to sound reasonably clear and static-free, though there was some slight fading every now and then. When testing the speakerphone in a busy department store, I was able to hear my callers without a problem, though they said that it was challenging to hear me. I successfully paired my Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset to the device without a problem, and callers were pleased with the clarity.
The Nokia N900 supports the GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands, and in regards to 3G, the WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz bands. Though the N900 is an HSPA-capable device, the 3G operates on the 1700 MHz bands, meaning that the device's 3G capabilities will only work on T-Mobile in the United States. Unfortunately, I was without a T-Mobile SIM card at the time of testing, so I resorted to AT&T's EDGE connectivity. Despite the technology barrier, data functions were reasonably snappy, performing well. CNN's full website loaded in 44 seconds, and the full PhoneDog homepage loaded in 49 seconds. Other data-intensive tasks such as e-mail, Hermes, and the Ovi Store performed very well throughout the testing. As a byproduct of Nokia's "internet tablet" lineup (though they're no longer called that), web browsing is the N900's strongest feature.
Coming from someone who doesn't like Symbian and hasn't been very impressed with the company's lineup to date, I'm very excited about the Nokia N900. I think there's a great deal of potential behind the device, and more importantly, behind Maemo as an OS. In today's competitive market, a functional OS (coupled with a good device) is crucial for long-term success, and while Maemo is a huge breath of fresh air, Nokia has a lot of work to do before the device and OS will be ready for mainstream appeal on a wireless carrier. The Ovi Store needs to be expanded, Maemo needs to be refined to be a bit easier to use, and Nokia needs to offer portrait support for the N900's apps. As it stands, the Nokia N900 is a phenomenal mobile internet device (MID) and a decent media unit. With some slight refinements, I could easily see the N900 on T-Mobile USA.

A Day in my Life? How About a Minute?I am standing about 8 inches away from my very large TV. Why so close? This is the only way I can even partially hear it. I have been trying to catch the end of this movie for a few days now. The baby is slamming his toy on the windowsill while he screams as loud as he can some random baby babble. As for the dogs, well they are running in circles barking at the air like fools, this is pretty normal. I am using my new gift that came with motherhood and tuning all this noise out in hopes of being able to listen to the last minute of this movie. A movie that I have already re-wound a number of times in the past half hour alone.
While standing there trying to watch the end of this movie, I realize that this is probably the only moment in the day, if not the week, that I will not be holding my baby. So I take advantage of the few seconds I have and pull out my pony tail holder and let my hair down. I try to finger comb out the gigantic knot that has developed in my hair. Keep in mind my hair is still falling out in huge globs since giving birth. Finger combing is not putting much of a dent in the gigantic knot. I started thinking about how I got this nasty knot in my hair... again this year. Something that has been occurring ever since having the little man.
Yesterday when the baby was in my arms, naked he had a number two type of accident. So the two of us jumped into the shower. I was so concerned with getting us sanitized that I forgot to remove my pony tail and wash my hair. Then when we got out of the shower I realized we only had one clean towel! DAMN IT! I thought as I dried the baby with the only towel. I whipped my hair into a bun while I dripped dried. I pulled my clothes on to my wet body holding a squirming baby. Simultaneously yelling at his Dad "stop that damn drumming, you need to watch this baby so I can start some laundry". Obviously someone needed to start a load of towels and baby Daddy had told me his hands will fall off if he has to do this.
DAMN IT AGAIN! I totally lose track of the movie, again while I was thinking back on how I got this stupid knot in my hair. So as I try to bang the battery section on the back of the remote; so I can rewind. I notices a big wad of hair accumulating in my hands from my finger combing. Deciding that I was getting know where fast with that and opted to put my hair back up. Something other than the TV caught my eye. Shocking as I was standing right in front of a HUGE TV. You see we live on the side of a mountain and have a wall that is all windows; I guess the idea with that is so you can always have a great view of the mountains. But that is not what caught my eye. It was my extremely handsome man who was outside the wall of windows. Well actually his arms are what caught my eye, he was loading his drums into his truck, I guess this takes some muscle flexing. Just as I was admiring him and thinking about all my love for him. The TV quickly tuned out and the sounds of the dogs barking and the baby yelling all came rushing back to me. They were loud, so loud that I can't believe I had them tuned out. I realized that the baby was yelling DAAADY!. Ahhh, now I know why they were all being so loud. They were all trying to get Daddy's attention through the window. I noticed he was oblivious to the family trying to get his attention from inside the house. I picked up the baby and noticed the TV… the credits were playing.

He's played a bank robber, a chocolate magnate, a guy with scissors for hands and a pirate in the movies, but the real-life Johnny Depp has just reprised another role: People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Depp, the reclusive 46-year-old family man who splits his time between the South of France and his private island in the Bahamas, won the title for the second time, edging out such hunks as Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr., David Beckham, Nick Cannon, John Legend and Robert Pattinson.
The Kentucky-born Depp also became the third two-time winner, joining fellow 40-something actors George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
Depp played Chicago gangster John Dillinger in "Public Enemies" earlier this year. While his role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies have brought him the most fame and money, Depp has always sought eclectic roles, often teaming with director Tim Burton to play bizarrely fantastical characters. Their latest collaboration, "Alice in Wonderland Wonderland," is due out next year.
"There's no real definition other than there is some kind of connection, some sort of understanding that Tim and I have that is at most times unspoken," Depp said recently. "Most people when they hear Tim give me direction or we're talking about the character or something on the set, people are baffled. Completely befuddled and they don't know what we're talking about."
Depp's out-the-box approach to picking roles fits with his lifestyle as a Hollywood outsider. Even though he commands upwards of $20 million per movie, Depp sightings are rare in Tinseltown.
"The five years that I've been living in France and in the States to some degree a little bit, because I'm not a resident of France, has done wonders for my relationship with Hollywood," Depp told Stars on Top. And also having kids, I'm so removed from it that I don't know anything. I mean, I don't know who anybody is. I don't know who's famous. I don't know who's not famous. I don't know who's rich, who's poor, who's successful, who's a drag. I don't know anybody. I don't know what made money and what didn't make money. And it's great. So, I come in just completely ignorant of all of it and it feels really good."

The recent price of 25.73 for shares of Kura Sushi USA Inc. (KRUS) has put the price level above the Balance Step, indicating a near-term bullish pattern developing. Calculated from the last five balance points, the Balance Step indicator can help determine whether a bullish or bearish trend is developing near-term.
Investors may be wondering how to tackle the markets at current levels. Many investors may feel like they have missed out on the markets getting to where they are today. It may be a case of missed trades or being too cautious, but a stellar forward thinking strategy may be just what is needed to get back on track. Studying various sectors may help provide some insight on where to go from here. Investors may become very familiar and comfortable with a certain sector, and they may be completely missing out on opportunities from other fast growing sectors. Investors may also need to take a long-term approach which may include creating a diversified portfolio that takes many different factors into consideration. With the enormous amount of uncertainty that follows the global investing world on a daily basis, it may be helpful for investors to be able to keep their emotions in check. Studying the hard data may prove to be very useful when trying to separate truth from fiction in the equity markets.
One way to completely avoid market mistakes is to not invest at all. Of course, that could end up to be the greatest mistake of all. Investors will occasionally make some mistakes, as that comes with the territory. The key as with most things in life is to figure out how to learn from past mistakes and use that knowledge to make better decisions going forward. Pinpointing exactly what went wrong may help shed some light on what needs improvement. Sometimes, investors will suffer losses and become discouraged right out of the gate. The tendency is to then try to recoup losses by taking even bigger risks which can lead to complete disaster. One of the biggest differences between successful investors and failed investors is the willingness and ability to learn from past personal mistakes.
When applying indicators for technical analysis, traders and investors might want to look some additoinal indicators such as the ATR or Average True Range. The current 14-day ATR for Kura Sushi USA Inc. (KRUS) is currently sitting at 1.12. The ATR basically measures the volatility of a stock on a day-to-day basis. The average true range is typically based on 14 periods and may be calculated daily, weekly, monthly, or intraday. The ATR is not considered a directional indicator, but it may reflect the strength of a particular move.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Kura Sushi USA Inc. (KRUS) is sitting at 38.24. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 67.52, the 7-day stands at 68.52, and the 3-day is sitting at 67.52. Many investors look to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of a particular stock to help identify overbought/oversold conditions. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's. Wilder laid out the foundation for future technical analysts to further investigate the RSI and its relationship to underlying price movements. Since its inception, RSI has remained very popular with traders and investors. Other technical analysts have built upon the work of Wilder. The 14-day RSI is still a widely popular choice among technical stock analysts.
Investors may be watching other technical indicators such as the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. The Williams %R is a momentum indicator that helps measure oversold and overbought levels. This indicator compares the closing price of a stock in relation to the highs and lows over a certain time period. A common look back period is 14 days. Kura Sushi USA Inc. (KRUS)'s Williams %R presently stands at -11.28. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would indicate an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would indicate an oversold situation.
Taking a closer look from a technical standpoint, Kura Sushi USA Inc. (KRUS) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 82.65. Typically, the CCI oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations tend to stay in the range of -100 to +100. A CCI reading of +100 may represent overbought conditions, while readings near -100 may indicate oversold territory. Although the CCI indicator was developed for commodities, it has become a popular tool for equity evaluation as well.
With the stock market trading at current levels, investors may be tossing around ideas about how to trade the next few quarters. As we slip further into the second half of the year, investors may be assessing the latest earnings reports and trying to calculate the future prospects of certain stocks. Finding bargain stocks at current levels may be much harder than spotting hidden gems when markets are down. Plowing through the fundamentals may help sort out some of the questions that investors may have that come along with trading at these levels. Investors may have to do a little more homework in order to identify that next great trade, but the rewards may be well worth the extra time and effort.

Authority (not in the sense you think...)
And I was just thinking about that, about how at least among anti-BDSM feminists, statements and theories like those are assumed to be authoritative. They're assumed to tell the real truth about us and what we do and its meaning.
The curious thing is that they're assumed to do this even when we, people who actually do BDSM, say that's not so, or even claim the opposite.
What that means is that the voice of the theorist ("feminist theorist?" "radical feminist theorist?") gets privileged over the voice of the members of the community. The theorist's voice, the voice of Analysis and "Neutral" Examination, is taken to be a better representation of truth than the voices of the people within the particular subculture/doing the activities being examined.
And that strikes me as a real problem with a lot of theoretical analysis. People get so hung up on theory, on coming up with a theory, on Having An Explanation, that they never stop to consider whether their explanation at all hooks up with the lived experience of those they describe.
It happens all the time. I lurk in various body modification communities, and some people (not everyone) do a lot of things that others consider incomprehensibly painful or strange. Fleshhook suspension. Subdermal implants. Tongue splitting. Cutting and branding. Castration. Voluntary amputation. Even genital piercing is strange to some people.
And of course, the reaction of these people -- some of whom are professionals; just have a look at the random bad editorial articles written by shrinks in magazines -- is to look not at the people's explanation, but to assume that the people must be deluded or have false consciousness to do such strange and drastic things to their bodies. There's little or no attempt to square theory with practice.
And to me, well, yes, it is possible for someone to be deluded about whether something is good for her. Of course. We all are sometimes. But the idea that an entire cultural identity can be ignored and written off simply because a particular theory of false consciousness or social dynamics is internally coherent has always struck me as very odd, if not downright dangerous.

Sort of,
"to whom would you rather listen concerning the structure of the universe - Aristotle, or Galileo?" It's the same mismatch of pure philosophy versus science.
I have heard (I don't know how true this story is) that for centuries people believed that beetles only had four legs - because Aristotle said so, therefore it must be true. Nobody (or at least, nobody in the intellectual elite) stopped and counted the legs on a real beetle to find out if it really was! This is exactly the same problem as you describe.

This is a general problem of authority in the culture - no matter what we're talking about, there is a tendency to privilege the opinions of "experts" on some subject affecting people's lives, when instead we should listening to the people affected. In terms of sexuality, "experts" historically were medical professionals, though as you've pointed out, academia can weigh in too.
There's a branch of queer/feminist theory that I call "standpoint theory" that basically boils down to:
"Don't write theory about a minority community that you are not a member of."
Which seems pretty obvious, but is almost never obeyed.
Of course, if a person is writing "theory" about their own community, it tends not to be theoretical at all, but rather practical, activist, and probably correct.
Anyways, this is why there's very little analysis writing on race or trans issues in my blog: because I Just Don't Know, given my life experience. And I tend to be very careful with feminist stuff for the same reason, and stick to the really obvious conclusions.

"Don't write theory about a minority community that you are not a member of."
I'm not convinced of that. But I do think that in order to write theory about a minority community you need, at minimum, to be committed to engaging respectfully and productively with narratives from members of those communities.
So someone who wants to radfem it up about BDSM should be committed to looking up and closely examining narratives from within the community. Read Coming to Power at least (and preferably something newer as well). Quote them and use them in a way that honors the perspective they come from. If you think that perspective is wrong or misguided, be serious about recognizing that you're arguing against a voice that has authority by virtue of being authentic.
To me even THAT is a massive, massive step up.

- EthylBenzene said...
Yes, just yes to everything said in the post and in the comments.
What is even more annoying is the absurd double standardness of it. Certainly in the radfem world a man does not have authority to speak to a woman's experience of the world, and (rightly) gets called out when they claim, f'rinstance, that sexism doesn't really exist, or women make up rape claims, or "why doesn't she just leave?" Because, obviously, no man has the same lens of viewing the world as any woman does.
But how does that understanding that "you over there do not know what I am thinking or how I am experiencing the world so shut up!" not translate to "I don't know what that person over there is experiencing, but maybe I should find out or shut up"???

"But how does that understanding that "you over there do not know what I am thinking or how I am experiencing the world so shut up!" not translate to "I don't know what that person over there is experiencing, but maybe I should find out or shut up"???"
I think that's "just" because the theory supposedly "explains" the experience.
They know better than to explain being oppressed on an axis they're not without experience, but if BDSMers are not truly oppressed, then it's just an interesting phenomenon that they can Discuss.
Which y'know -- no. Good ethnographers wouldn't do that. Why should they not be held to a similar standard?

I had this exact same conversation with Bean some while back over on Alas, and upon being asked why on Earth she would think it's okay to theorize and intellectualize about a community, identity, and experiences that she has no part of, her response was something along the lines of "Rawr! Porn! Rape! Abuse!"
So yeah.
In my experience, there's not really a good answer.

I run into "My theory explains exactly why you disagree with my theory. You have to have ..." rather a lot.
My favorite example is the person who figured that the only reason I wasn't interested in casual sex was some sort of trauma, and the way to deal with that was clearly desensitisation therapy, because if I had a bunch of casual sex I'd learn I liked it like the theory said I ought to. (Rough translation: become enlightened! Fuck meeeee!)
But, y'know, the guy who was so "feminist" he would berate and abuse women who didn't conform to his delicate sensibilities (which were of course how women should be, at least if they were truly enlightened and liberated: monogamous and vanilla is Twoo Womanhood in the State of Nature). Or the "you're delusded by Satan, that's why you won't come to Jesus!" crowd. Or ....
We know the theory is true because it's the theory. Disagreement is explained within the theory as a defect in the other people, because the theory is Truth.

- Myca said...
Great points, Dw3t-Hthr.
It all comes back to my mantra: "Bad things happen when ideas become more important than people."
Your ('your' in this case meaning anyone and everyone) theory is not (ever) more important than an actual person. It's just not.

I've been reading a ton of old-school radical feminists lately (Shulamith Firestone, Kate Millett, Andrea Dworkin, Germaine Greer) and... This could be a possible total brain fart here but I think one of the problems with trying to match theory of 40 years ago with BDSM as practiced today is that when they were writing there was no legal or philosophical basis for sexual consent.
And it makes me think about Trinity's meditations on "unacknowledged sadomasochism" in her not-a-magnifying-glass post: when they were writing there classics for the most part there was no such thing as dominance or submission, there was just "the way it is."
Now I happen to think that the work those early writers did, particularly the extraordinarily brusque (and possibly sexually submissive) Dworkin, to make "no means no" real (against resistance that's still, unbelievably, got a little life in it.) And I also happen to think that previously unheard of possibility that no could mean no, created, well, the safe spaces for the total explosion of conscious BDSM and other forms of kink we're able to practice today.
But! Because their work launched our contemporary understanding of the meaning of consent then by definition the classics can't really address the post-consent environment. To understand the new order we sort of have to look at newer, not-yet-classic radicals.
- 28 September 2007 at 16:06
- Trinity said...
"when they were writing there classics for the most part there was no such thing as dominance or submission, there was just "the way it is."
Hmm. Yeah, I think they were some of the first people to *call* it that... though I do wonder what the BDSM-y things were being called in leather circles prior to that. I think maybe people said "sadist and masochist" or "Sir and boy" or "master and slave" more often than "dominant and submissive", but I don't know.
"to make "no means no" real (against resistance that's still, unbelievably, got a little life in it.)"
Oh, yeah, I do think that's what they were up to, and I think it was necessary, good work. I just don't like how they got stuck there. Or how it was all supposedly about pornography as a propaganda tool. I just don't think sexuality is that malleable.
"created, well, the safe spaces for the total explosion of conscious BDSM and other forms of kink we're able to practice today."
You may well be right.

(Rough translation: become enlightened! Fuck meeeee!)"
Ugh. Sounds like a huge number of the poly men I know, Dw3t-Hthr.
Figleaf - I think there's something to this idea of many of the classic works coming from a very different context surrounding consent.
I think a hard-line standpoint theory isn't a great idea - one learns a lot from an outsider's comments - but refusing to engage and listen to what is said by people in the community in question is just bad practice.

I am trying to do the Pong Lab in Dr. Java from A+ Computer Science. I am finished doing everything, however, when I run the game the ball leaves a trail behind. I do not know how to get rid of it and any help would be greatly appreciated. As of right now this is my draw method for the ball. I am drawing the ball blue and the trail should be white as to cover it. The ball being drawn blue is in another method. I just need this to get rid of the ball's trail.
public void moveAndDraw(Graphics window)
//draw a white ball at old ball location
draw(window,Color.WHITE);//draws over the old ball with whichever color you want
//in case you want to have a trail

At Friday's Taste for a Cure gala, friends sang the praises of NBC's Jennifer Salke, serenading her and raising $575,000 for UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Care Center.
During what 20th Century Fox TV's Gary Newman called the "audience participation part" of the evening, guests bid on various items including a Costa Rica villa holiday that went for $26,000 and was won by Salke and her husband, Fox 21 prexy Bert Salke.
Twentieth TV's Dana Walden and "Glee's" Ryan Murphy were among those praising the honoree's ability to multi-task, while "Glee's" Lea Michele and Darren Criss sang a couple of numbers.
"Take it from the rest of us Type A's. She doesn't stress at all," Walden said. She went on to describe how Salke would get to the airport at the last minute, looking her best, and then set off the TSA with all her jewelry, maintaining a calm composure throughout.
Salke, prexy of NBC Entertainment, said she decided to get involved with the charity because her parents are cancer survivors. She had herself tested as a preventive measure and wanted to "be the warrior, move in front of it and just slash and burn."

There have been some truly brilliant horror games released over the years, and coming up with a definitive Top 5 of the ?scariest? was always going to be a tall order. However, after much pondering and re-living of virtual nightmares, I present to you my in-no-way-scientifically-determined selection of the games which have most haunted your sleep.
Source: http://kokugamer.com/2010/08/22/top-5-scariest-games/
Doom 3 was the most predictable game I ever played. The original was much more scary just due to the newness of the genre.
these games are now out of date? do you have a top list for this year's?

Dear Em
I received your card and Lena's letter of the fifth yesterday which was the tenth. I dont know what the matter can be with the mail leaving here, but you see that the mail leaving there seems to be all right. From all appearances it looks as though we will soon be home. It was very chilly here last night, and about three oclock this morning the moon was shinning and lit up every thing as if it were day.
Never mind the fancy paper stuff, even that that is rapt about a loaf of that good old Mr. Walker's bread will do as long as it is news from 297. I am glad you all seem to like my last picture. You folks must have a lot of fun with Mary all right. The number on the picture is my number at Washington if I should desert or commit murder or some thing.
My best regards to all.

Complete meal replacement for maximum lean muscle building and boosting metabolism. A premium protein blend with a superior branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) profile to naturally boost muscle growth and maintenance.
IsaLean PRO Shakes offer you 36 grams of undenatured whey protein with a superior amino acid profile to assist in your weight-loss and/or muscle-building goals.
Using IsaLean PRO to increase your protein intake can help prevent age-related muscle loss.
IsaLean PRO contains a premium protein blend with a superior branched-chain amino acid profile to naturally boost muscle growth and maintenance.
IsaLean PRO Shake is a complete, low-glycemic meal replacement with 36 grams of high-quality protein. It is great for individuals who are looking for increased muscle growth support or wanting to bust through weight-loss plateaus!
Whey protein is superior to other proteins for muscle growth and fat burning. Research also shows that whey protein supports maintenance of lean muscle mass, which supports long-term weight maintenance. Isagenix whey protein is pure, undenatured, and of the highest quality.
IsaLean PRO is not intended for use on Cleanse Days, however, IsaLean PRO is the perfect way to enhance — or even replace — your standard IsaLean® Shake on your Shake Days. It can be a great complement to your existing IsaLean Shake regimen, empowering your Shake Days so you can experience even greater results.
IsaLean PRO contains high-quality, undenatured protein from cows that are milked according to season and have not been treated with hormones or routine antibiotics.
As we get older, our body's ability to absorb protein lessens, requiring more protein to hold on to muscle. Recent studies suggest that large doses of whey protein (up to 35g) versus lower doses over time is better for promoting muscle maintenance and growth in people over 55.

Sold 1 per package
Size 1 (5-15 Lbs) and size 2 (15-30 Lbs)
Made With 100% Absorbent Cotton. Parents enjoy using contoured cloth diapers because they are an economical alternative to fitted diapers. They are also a lot trimmer on your baby than prefold cloth diapers.
Contoured cloth diapers are shaped to fit your baby's body comfortably. However, when using contoured diapers or prefolds, you will use a few more diaper covers than when using fitted diapers. This is because neither contoured nor prefold diapers have elastic at the waist or legs. It is to be anticipated that the diaper covers will get soiled a bit more. We recommended getting 10 diaper covers per size to accommodate for this.
For easy cleaning of your diaper and covers you may want to use a diaper sprayer which rinses the stools off the diapers and diaper covers. A diaper sprayer, using fresh cold water, helps prevent staining. Also you are not soaking diapers in a bacteria filled pail or toilet. A contour cloth diapering system is a wonderful and practical way to cloth diaper your baby!
Tiny Tush Contours are trim through the crotch providing a nice, comfortable fit. Our contours have a loose liner sewn to the back of the diaper providing 5 layers of absorbent material in the "Wetting Zone" where it is needed the most. The loose liner design allows the contoured diaper to dry quickly when laundering. When using a snug fitting Velcro type diaper cover, pinning is not necessary. However, the wings of the Tiny Tush Contour have been designed long enough to pin if you so desire.
Tiny Tush Contoured cloth diapers share the same custom milled fabric as our popular fitted diapers. They are made from absorbent 100% cotton. For newer babies we recommend using 30 diapers and 10 covers per size (newborn and small).

What is Web Data Extraction?
Web Data Extraction is a type of information retrieval that can automatically extract structured information from unstructured or semi-structured web data sources.

Methods of Web Data Extraction: Why UnitMiner?
With the explosion of the World Wide Web, a wealth of data on almost every subject has become available online. Generally, users retrieve Web data by browsing and keyword searching. Though all searches will produce links, there are limitations, and disadvantages in methodology. Data on the internet are not structured or ordered as from databases. Gathering and formatting data in desired way is what data extraction is all about.
Data extraction is the ability to retrieve data from web, and to transform and transfer it in a pre-determined way to websites, xml files, databases, and spreadsheets.
Websites are all assembled differently. Data are presented in many ways, and the structure of data changes significantly from one website to another. Additionally, websites use different encoding and different HTML elements to display their content. This is first challenge for web extraction tools: the ability to extract data from various resources.
One traditional way to extract data from the web comes in the form of programs called 'wrappers.' Getting a 'wrapper' program to decipher data (what is desired, as opposed to what is not) is hit and miss, as well as difficult to maintain accurately, and specifically. Unit Miner is sophisticated software that uses scripting language to do the job, which radically shortens the development process. Unit Miner has a high level of flexibility; scripting language is able to handle minor modifications in document structure without any maintenance work. Unit Miner offers a data extraction solution for reasonable price.

In April, the EPA said the Department had failed to distribute nearly half a billion dollars in federal money to provide clean drinking water to communities that need it.
The EPA says the state's plan fully addresses the agency's concerns. But the EPA says if the state fails to implement any part of the plan, federal money could be withheld.
The plan requires the Department of Public Health to distribute $878-million to communities by June of 2016.

Want to collaborate with a user, or fellow librarian but you are both not at the same location? No problem try one of the following tools
1. Wikis
Wikis are of course all the rage these days. Besides the two free ones offered by NUS (see here and here), you can also try wetpaint, wikispaces etc.
Wikis allow you to edit each other's document, to track and revert changes. To put comments on the discussion place etc. Still Wikis are strictly speaking not real-time. Only one person can edit the same document at the same time, or you risk having edit conflicts. Also you will probably need to use some instant messenger client to actually chat in real time.
2. Googledocs
Googledocs allows you to upload office documents. You can then invite users to comment via email and edit the documents in real-time (they require a google account). Googledocs includes a online chat window so you can communicate in real-time with people editing the document.
There are many other similar online services that one can also consider including Zoho, OpenGoo, and Adobe Buzzword
Etherpad is touted as "Googledocs done right". For one thing, even googledocs isn't really real-time as it takes 10-15 seconds for changes to update. Secondly Etherpad doesn't require that the user log in with google account. Thirdly etherpad automatically shows changes added by different users in different colors which makes it handy to see who changed what.
4. Yuuguu
For a change of pace try Yuuguu . It is a screensharing and IM application. Users can see your screen, they can request for the right to control your mouse and keystrokes etc ( too dangerous to allow if you ask me). While you need to do download and install the application, other users just need to point their browser to a url and enter a pin that you give them. There is also a Instant messenging chat function built in , so you can communicate with those watching.
For even more online collaborative tools see this amazing post!
So what do you think dear readers? Can any of these be used for your work?
