AboutThe Dracula Experience is a unique tour through the Dracula story and the connection to Whitby. Using animated scenes, electronic special effects and live actors.
In 1885 the Russian Schooner The Demeter was hit by a wild storm and ran aground in Whitby harbour on Tate Hill Sands. Mysteriously all the crew were dead including the captain, who was lashed to the helm.

The dog was known to be one of the many forms into which a vampire could transform itself. Bram Stoker's Count Dracula had arrived in England.....!

Review: HiFiMan HE-6 Headphone and EF-6 Amplifier
Like wine, sushi, and plumbers, headphones can get a lot more expensive than most people realize. At Sound+Vision, we focus on under-$500 models. But when Dr. Fang Bian, the visionary entrepreneur behind the HiFiMan headphone company, asked if I'd like to try the company's top-of-the-line, $1,299 HE-6 headphone and its new $1,599 EF-6 headphone amplifier, I thought it'd be a great chance to give our usual listening panel a sample of what only the most devoted and/or wealthy headphone aficionados usually get to hear.
We've thoroughly enjoyed our past experiences with HiFiMan's planar magnetic headphones, including the HE-400 and HE-500. (See the HE-400/HE-500 review for a full explanation of planar magnetic driver technology.) But the HE-6 is scary. With a rated sensitivity of just 82.5 dB — 6.5 dB lower than the HE-500, which itself is challenging to drive — the HE-6 demands 4.3 times as much power. You can't drive it with a smartphone or even with a mini headphone amp. All of which makes the HE-6 the kind of headphone you put on to sit back and relax at home.
No problem for the EF-6 amplifier, because it was designed to drive demanding headphones like the HE-6. It's a Class A design. The elevator pitch for Class A is that audiophiles prefer it for its lower distortion, but it runs really hot and chews up lots of power.
Here's the full story: In Class A, the amplifier's output devices — transistors in the case of the EF-6 — are always conducting electricity no matter what the signal level. Because the transistors are always conducting, they're always throwing off a lot of heat, which means they need big heat sinks. Class A amps also consume far more electricity than other amps. In the more common Class AB amplifier, the transistors stop conducting electricity when their bias voltage is exceeded. This creates what's known as crossover distortion, as the signal "crosses over" from the positive transistor to the negative transistor or vice-versa. Depending on the way the amp is designed, this transition should occur only at relatively high volume, which would thus mask the distortion. But still, distortion is distortion. It belongs in guitar amps, not in hi-fi gear.
From the outside, the EF-6 is a simple device. Just three inputs: two pairs of RCA jacks on the back and a single 3.5mm input on the front, with a loop-through RCA output on the back. A two-position gain switch on the back is marked "0" and "10."
The front panel hosts two different headphone outputs. One is the a ¼-inch stereo jack with a pro-style locking mechanism. The other is a four-pin XLR connector that carries a balanced headphone signal, in which the left and right drivers have separate ground cables instead of sharing one ground lead. Some headphone enthusiasts feel that a balanced connection delivers better sound. Using the balanced output requires headphones than can accept a balanced signal. Few can, but because all of HiFiMan's full-size headphones have removable cables with a separate connector on each driver assembly, they can all be converted for balanced use with a quick cable swap.
The volume knob isn't the usual potentiometer. Instead, it's a 24-position rotary switch that switches individual resistors in and out of the circuit to control volume. This design allows high-quality resistors to be used for better sound quality and more precise matching of the left and right channels than could be achieved with a potentiometer.
Two downsides with this design. First, you can't set volume quite as precisely as you can with a potentiometer; the steps are relatively large. And second, using that beefy 24-position switch made adding remote control impractical. Fortunately, because your headphones have to be connected to the amp anyway, not having remote control in a headphone amp isn't such a big deal.
A couple of quick notes on the HE-6: It comes with a nice semi-hardshell nylon case, two sets of ear pads (one leather, one velour), and a balanced cable with a balanced-to-unbalanced adapter for use with standard headphone amps. Like the HE-500, it's comfortable but heavy: Both weigh 17.7 ounces each.
Initial impressions
I've heard most of the high-end headphones on the market, so I had some idea of what to expect from the HE-6, but I was eager to see what our panelists thought of it. They've heard lots of very good headphones, including the HE-500, but nothing in the price class of the HE-6/EF-6 combo. So I invited two of our usual panelists, L.A. voice actress Lauren Dragan and jazz musician Will Huff, over to give a listen. I connected the HE-6 to the EF-6 using the balanced connection, then set up various other headphones (including the AKG K550 and Lauren's PSB M4U 2) for comparison.
I've watched Will's reaction to a lot of headphones, but never saw him so enthralled as I did when he put on the HE-6. "I don't know if I have the vocabulary to describe this," he said. "It blows me away how clean they sound. There's no distortion at all, which really makes me want to listen. When the bass hits it has that perfect sense of the acoustics of the instrument, like hearing a live bass drum. My only disappointment is that the midrange is a little low in level, but I didn't mind it because the highs and lows are so clean, and it all comes together beautifully. Short of being in the studio with the musicians, this is it. I really enjoyed the bass."
As often occurs when we test large headphones, Lauren was put off by the HE-6's weight. But she loved just about everything else about it. "It's an accurate, clean, balanced sound," she said. "The treble is extremely articulate and clear. I like the bass, but I'd like a little more bass — but maybe that's just because I hear so many headphones with boosted bass."

F1 boss Ecclestone accused of fabricating need for 'bribe'
F1 Boss Ecclestone Accused Of Fabricating Need For 'Bribe'. Under cross-examination at the High Court in London, Ecclestone said he was being blackmailed by the banker tasked with selling a significant stake in F1.
London: Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone on Wednesday denied paying a bribe to ensure he stayed in control of the glamorous motorsport series, and then fabricating the reason to pay a banker.
Under cross-examination at the High Court in London, Ecclestone said he was being blackmailed by the banker tasked with selling a significant stake in F1.
Ecclestone said he made a payment to avoid being reported by BayernLB's Gerhard Gribkowsky to the authorities over his tax affairs.
"I made up my mind he needed to be kept quiet," Ecclestone said after claiming he was "shaken down" by Gribkowsky.
Former F1 shareholder Constantin Medien contests that Ecclestone and his family trust entered into a "corrupt bargain" with Gribkowsky to ensure BayernLB's 47 percent F1 stake was sold in 2005 to the buyer desired by the sport's long-standing commercial chief.
Gribkowsky received an alleged bribe totaling $44 million which led to investment group CVC Capital Partners acquiring the stake. Constantin Medien, a German media company, is suing Ecclestone and other defendants for up to $144 million, claiming F1 was undervalued by the BayernLB deal.
Ecclestone maintained Wednesday that at the time of the deal — and now — he was not trying to safeguard his own future in F1, insisting he doesn't "want to die as CEO" of F1.
"As long as I have got control of the company I will continue to be there ... I am in a fortunate position — I don't need a job," Ecclestone said.
Asked by Constantin Medien lawyer Philip Marshall about the prospect of retirement, the 83-year-old Ecclestone replied: "I don't mind, I've got plenty of things to do."
In a case that could threaten Ecclestone's future with F1, a German court is deciding whether he will stand trial on charges of bribery and incitement to breach of trust. Ecclestone's legal team maintains that a "consultancy package" was paid to Gribkowsky, who was jailed in Germany last year for 8½ years for taking the payment.
In the High Court, Ecclestone was asked why he responded to the apparent blackmail threat by seeking the advice of an in-house accountant rather than lawyers, and did not approach the police.
"It doesn't make any sense," Marshall said. "You are in a situation where you are being asked to pay millions of dollars over a threat or an insinuation that may cause you tax problems. You don't ask any of the lawyers ... that's just something (a reason) you fabricated. You have made it up."
Ecclestone, appearing for the first time in person in the second week of the civil trial, spoke quietly at times and regularly banged the desk as he grew increasingly frustrated with questioning.
Ecclestone said he was happy to pay Gribkowsky $22.5 million himself to avoid any potential tax investigation, and saw little point in contacting the police.
"I wanted to get rid of (Gribkowsky) making silly statements," Ecclestone said.
Ecclestone built his powerbase in F1 from the 1970s and helped to create the Formula One Constructors' Association that controlled the business side of the series, including selling the TV rights.
The British-based company later became known as Formula One Management.
CVC, having amassed a 63 percent stake of F1, has reduced its holding as other investors have come on board in recent years, although a planned flotation has stalled.
Constantin Medien is claiming it lost out due to the deal negotiated by Gribkowsky. Gribkowsky is a defendant in the case along with Ecclestone's lawyer, Stephen Mullens, and the Ecclestone family trust, Bambino Holdings.

There exists another casualty of the health care debate: information literacy.
Regardless of the side of the debate that one subscribes to (but seen more noticeably by health care opponents), there exists a litany of misinformation paraded around as fact when a simple search through a newspaper, the internet, or other contemporary news source would immediately refute it. As a librarian, it pains me to see so many individuals failing to do the most basic of vetting when it comes to claims about health care reform. Has society grown so lazy as to accept wild and outrageous allegations on their face value? Has critical examination of presented evidence in a political forum become passe? For all the people who make assertions about not trusting politicians, they should expand that same policy to those who make recitations in the political arena. Rigorous political debate is a proud heritage of this country, but when participants spout proven falsehoods as fact, it is downright embarrassing.
I'm certain there are people in the health care debate forum who also decry the state of our education system, but they themselves are not a role model for the information literacy that they want for their children and grandchildren. Politically charged soundbites, chain propaganda emails, and rife word of mouth speculation do not replace an actual education on an issue as important as health care.

A development blog of what Con Kolivas is doing with code at the moment with the emphasis on linux kernel, MuQSS, BFS and -ck.
Thursday, 24 March 2011
2.6.38-ck1, BFS 0.363 for 2.6.38
I've ported BFS and all previous -ck patches to 2.6.38.
2.6.38-ck1 can be grabbed here:
Ubuntu packages here:
Ubuntu Packages
and BFS for 2.6.38 can be grabbed here:
Apart from slight architectural changes between the kernel versions, and YET ANOTHER mainline rewrite of the CPU offlining code for suspend to ram/disk (which always causes problems with porting BFS since I have to rewrite my own parts of that code), this is the same BFS v0.363 as per the last release.
There is no "autogrouping by SID" in BFS or -ck. I remain unconvinced of any tangible benefit of such an approach for real world usage, and for the potential for problems and inability to apportion CPU when you actually want to.
Please report your experiences, but only if they're meaningful. I don't care how your PC performs if you do make -j 4096 unless you happen to have 4096 CPUs :)
Please enjoy! お楽しみ下さい

Why would anybody do 'make -j 4096' if they didn't have at least 4096 cores.ReplyDelete
Well, they're doing make -j64 on dual cores and using that as some kind of meaningful test to show why autogrouping is a good feature. That's what I was referring to.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous25 March 2011 at 10:05
4096 jobs is just absurd, guy. why would anyone do anything like this on a normal pc? its just plain stupid. btw, really liking this patchset on 2.6.38. also, a completely off-topic question, did you learn japanese?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous25 March 2011 at 10:23
Many thanks for the new release!ReplyDelete
I've applied BFQ-v2 and your -ck1 to openSUSE's most recent Kernel:/HEAD for 11.4 (some cosmetic editing required).
It makes a much better experience than plain kernel with SCHED_AUTOGROUP && CGROUP_SCHED enabled.
I know and agree it's absurd.ReplyDelete
Yes I've been teaching myself Japanese for a while now.
Thanks for your feedback.
Patch downloaded, applied to 2.6.38 kernel. Seems to be functioning within normal parameters. CK rawks! :DReplyDelete
Thanks Tex.ReplyDelete
Sneaky secret. I'm planning a small BFS improvement in the very near future so if you're planning on packaging anything, hold off.
well...I think I should wait for the small improvement to pack the kernel on opensuse build service...ReplyDelete
- Anonymous27 March 2011 at 06:49
CK, you rock! As I promised, I'm posting these good news!ReplyDelete
A while back I was trying to use BFS quite a number of times on my T500 and after suspend (NOT hibernate) my system started to be slow as hell...
IT'S FIXED at least with version 363!
I'm able to resume at least 5 times and nothing goes slow, previously after 2nd or 3rd time it went dog slow...
Thank you!

Wally is showcasing the latest addition to its wallypower fleet at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2023. The new wallypower58X showcases a number of innovative features, including the Magic Porthole. Instead of peppering the flawless hull with windows, which compromise privacy and are a weak point in the event of an impact, the benefits of exterior visibility are recreated inside using camera images relayed to large screens. In this way, guests can 'see' outside, enjoy the view and the light – all in perfect privacy.But the real innovation here is in the way the aft deck is configured to support up to four 600hp Mercury Verado V12 engines without in any way impinging on the way the owner and their guests interact with the water. Fold-down aft bulwarks and a large four-person sunpad transform the deck into a natural beach club. Measuring nearly 25 sqm, it is perfect for enjoying the peace of a quiet bay or anchorage. What is more, Wally has even found the space to build in its innovative hydraulic passerelle, which doubles as a bathing ladder.Thanks to its striking glass superstructure, the wallypower58X can adapt readily to different conditions, climates and uses. An adjustable cockpit top has an electric hatch that allows increased ventilation as needed, while the covered exterior area can be air conditioned to offer relief at anchor or in port. In colder conditions, the whole cockpit can be fully glass-enclosed and heated. The glass-covered cockpit offers generous seating for 12-16 guests across the two flanking benches and on the forward-facing portion of the sunpad. Accommodation is just as flexible below deck, where natural light floods in from the glass overhead. The wallypower58 comes as standard with a full-beam 'double saloon' for guest and owner use, with a day head incorporating a separate shower to the port side. Up front, the master cabin features a queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom featuring a large, standalone shower. "This yacht will appeal to all those who appreciate purity of design, and have the experience to understand already how they will use the boat. With its two supremely comfortable double cabins, the wallypower58X opens up a whole new realm of cruising possibilities for couples, families and friends alike who may not wish to spend every night ashore," says Luca Bassani, Wally Founder and Chief Designer. Mercury's new smart V12 engines offer a reduced draft compared to other models, making the boat suitable for shallow water operations, while the rotating gearcases and joystick maneuvering system ensure trouble-free precision docking in tight spaces. All that combined with the ultra deep-V hull form makes the yacht incredibly sea-worthy and capable of max speeds above 50 knots at half load and a cruising speed of 42 knots for 320 nautical miles."Wally stands for avant-garde, so it should come as no surprise that we have found a way to unite the very latest in outboard performance with the essential access to the water that the wallypower line provides. Exhilarating speed from 2,400hp of motors, peerless handling and a true spirit of enjoying what nature has to offer – these are all hallmarks of Wally yachts," says Stefano de Vivo, Managing Director of Wally. On the occasion of the US boat show, Wally announced the sale of the wallywhy100 to a new American owner.Wally is part of Ferretti Group. It was founded in 1994 in Monaco by Luca Bassani and is the only yachting brand to be a two-time winner of the ADI Compasso d'Oro, the world's most important award for quality and design.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/01/04/booker.shovel.tweet.jpg caption= "Mayor Cory Booker tweets after talking with a Newark resident who needs help shoveling."]New York (CNN) – Need help from city hall? If you are looking for a quick response, you might want to send a "tweet" as well as making that customary phone call.
The daughter of a 65-year-old Newark man did just that when she used Twitter to directly ask Mayor Cory Booker to help shovel her dad's driveway on New Years Eve.
Ravie Rave, otherwise known as @BigSixxRaven on Twitter, was at work and could not help her father shovel, so she sent a tweet to the mayor asking for assistance.
Five minutes later Booker messaged her back.
"I will do it myself where does he live?"
With over 1 million followers, Booker is one of the most active and followed politicians on Twitter, the popular social networking micro blog.
"Please @BigSixxRaven don't worry bout ur dad," Booker tweeted. "Just talked 2 him & I'll get 2 his Driveway by noon. I've got salt, shovels & great volunteers."
Twenty minutes after reading the first tweet, Booker knocked on the father's door with a shovel in hand. He even had volunteers pitch in to help after seeing the conversation on Twitter.
Once the driveway was cleared, Rave tweeted back to Booker.
"My daddy is a happy man," she wrote. "He took pictures of his Mayor shoveling his driveway! lol"
Public service at its best .
The man deserves to be re-elected provided he sets it up that his administration does not just help one old man but many when its tough for them like in these conditions.
this is the kind of politicuan we need
I would suggest that the USA government implement Outgoing Immigration. Incoming Imigration is not sufficient. This will assist in the screening and identification of some of these terrorist moving through the USA to other parts of the world to carry out their acts.
God Bless the kind hearted Mayor. Politicians are supposed to be for the people and represent the will of the people. Take note Obummie. We don't need your ignorant policies but if you want to shovel my driveway, come on down.
Major Cory Booker twitter is @CoryBooker
That just got him into office. Smart move and thanks for helping your neighbor, elderly on top of that. People in this comm. should be proud of a man who went above and beyond for his town folks. Great story , and Obama isn't even in the story line, YEA!
Now that's a Mayor you can beleive in.
Booker is a good politician. He reminds me of Mayor La Guardia.
How sweet!
Regardless of this Mayor's political affiliation (undoubtedly a Dem by his willingness to do his job), he is a model for politicians everywhere to put aside personal differences to help the common man. Kudos to Mayor Booker!

Pistons 115, Celtics 111: Stuckey leads Detroit past Boston
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rodney Stuckey came off the bench to score 26 points and help the Detroit Pistons rally for a 115-111 win over the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rodney Stuckey pulled the Pistons out of trouble.
Stuckey came off the bench to score 26 points and the Detroit reserves helped wipe out a 19-point deficit as the Pistons topped Boston 115-111. Stuckey's free throws with 57 seconds left broke a 111-all tie and gave Detroit the lead for good.
"They got us back in with their energy," coach John Loyer said of his reserves, who helped the team end a two-game skid.
The Pistons trailed by 19 points in third quarter and were down 95-85 at the start of the fourth before embarking on a 15-4 run that gave them their first lead since early in the game. The teams traded the lead several times before Stuckey's free throws.
Boston's Jerryd Bayless tried for a go-ahead shot in the final seconds but his 3-point try rimmed out.
Greg Monroe had 21 points and Brandon Jennings added 20 for Detroit, which also got 19 and 20 rebounds from Andre Drummond, who tied the game at 111 on a tip with 1:52 to play. Thirteen of his caroms were on the offensive glass, giving him 402 this season and making him the most prolific single-season offensive rebounder since 2000.
"I pride myself on getting offensive rebounds," Drummond said. "That's how I get my points."
Jerryd Bayless had 25 points and Jeff Green added 22 for the Celtics, who lost their eighth straight and have dropped 12 in a row on the road.
Boston's lead was 82-63 midway through the third before Detroit rallied produced a handful of runs to keep the lead from getting past 20. Pistons reserve Jonas Jerebko had consecutive 3-pointers midway through the final period to give the Pistons a lead. Rookie Peyton Siva had all five of his career-best five assists in the fourth.
"The reason we won the game was Peyton Siva," Drummond said. "His energy in the fourth quarter was tremendous. He ran the show.
The Celtics looked sharp from the field in the first three quarters but had several droughts in the final period. They had just six field goals and 16 points in the fourth and did not score in the final three minutes.
"I thought we let off the gas defensively a couple of times and all of a sudden, instead of a 19-point game, it's a 13- or 12-point game," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "We have seen that time and again in this league that those leads go quick."
Boston's Jared Sullinger, one of the worst 3-point shooters (.253 percent) in the league, made his first four tries from behind the arc. He scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds Saturday night in place of the injured Kris Humphries. Rookie Phil Pressey added a career-best 11 assists.
Boston guard Rajon Rondo, who had a triple double in Friday's loss to Philadelphia, did not play Saturday. He's missed the second game of back-to-back nights since he returned to the roster in January.
NOTES: Drummond's offensive rebound total is the most since New Jersey's Jayson Williams (443) and Chicago's Dennis Rodman (421) during the 1997-98 season. . Detroit's bench outscored Boston's 38-11. . Humphries missed the game after injuring his right patella tendon in the loss to Philadelphia. . The Celtics' last road win was Feb. 10 at Milwaukee. . Detroit hadn't won consecutive home games since mid-February.

Keystone Heights football shuts out P.K. Yonge
The visiting Keystone Heights' Indians (6-4) needed little trickery in their final regular season matchup with the P.K. Yonge Blue Wave (1-9) on Thursday night.
Their 33-0 victory was highlighted by four forced turnovers and 298 yards on the ground.
The Indians' wrinkle-free offense was dominated by handoffs to senior running back Alex Gonzales early. Of Keystone Heights' 27 first-half offensive plays, Gonzales rushed 25 times for 94 yards and two first quarter touchdowns to give the Indians a 12-0 lead.
Gonzales' 137 total rushing yards and three scores gave him 1,146 yards and 14 touchdowns in his final season.
"I can't say enough about him this year," said Keystone Heights coach Chuck Dickinson. "He's earned all the yards he's gotten this year."
P.K. Yonge senior quarterback Van Turner had opportunities against the Indians' defense.
Trying to cut the lead to one score before the half, he was picked off in the end zone by Indian senior defensive back Logan Stanley.
That would be the Blue Wave's best scoring chance all night as they were held to 177 total yards.
"We're not very big defensively," Dickinson said. "We don't have a kid over 190 pounds on defense.We swarm to the ball and gang tackle. I thought we did a pretty good job of that other than a few plays. "
Senior standout D'Karas Fields led the Blue Wave with 101 total yards from scrimmage, including a late 56-yard run.
Turner finished his career with a 9-of-16, 69-yard performance and 1,504 passing yards for the year.
The Indians bounced back from a 23-14 loss last week to Mount Dora that extinguished their playoff hopes.
"Not getting into the playoffs was a disappointment for us, but our kids responded well," Dickinson said. "We told our kids the seniors deserve to end with a victory."
