Today I roasted the coffees for my New Year's Blend, which I will serve on New Year's morning (and for the first couple of weeks in the year, assuming we like it).
I roasted the individual beans separately, took them all just into second crack and they are roughly what Tom calls "Full City +". There are equal quantities of each:
Colombia Lot No. 21 Las Cochas
Costa Rica - Cafatalera Zamorana
Indonesia - Sumatra Utara Wahana Estate 100% Rasuna
The basis for the roast is the Colombian and the Central American and Sumatra provide the spice. I enjoy all three of these beans individually, too.
Yes, the Colombian is a CoE. Blending it may seem sacrificial, but I know that it will stand up well to the others.
I will report on the results.

330 feet under Cessy, France (CNN) -- The biggest hazard for anyone lucky enough to see CMS, one of the major detector experiments deep underground at the Large Hadron Collider, is tripping.
"So watch where you step," physicist Joe Incandela said as we descended in an elevator 27 stories below the surface of the Earth.
In the event of a fire, take the elevator back up, he said -- a rule opposite from anywhere else. We also wore orange hard hats for the subterranean journey. You know, just in case.
From the cornfield beside the CMS buildings, against an idyllic mountain backdrop, you might not guess this is an entry point into the collider, the world's largest science experiment. The quiet winding roads through the French village of Cessy contrast with the subatomic violence of the particle accelerator below, which sends millions of protons smashing against each other every second.
We were able to go underground here thanks to a seven-year excavation of almost 250,000 cubic meters of soil and rock, a process that also uncovered a Roman villa nearby. That all led to the construction of a modern beige office complex on the surface, above the complicated particle detector that's waiting for us below.
CMS -- which stands for Compact Muon Solenoid -- sits along a 17-mile circular tunnel straddling the French-Swiss border. On the opposite side of the ring, in Switzerland, is ATLAS, another important experiment. Both projects are operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the physics laboratory that hosts the collider.
CMS and ATLAS share the same scientific goals -- finding new particles and properties of the universe -- but their architecture and technical systems are different. Fabiola Gianotti, former spokeswoman for ATLAS, said there's a healthy competition between the groups that pushes both to do their best.
"I think we would not have produced so many beautiful results so quickly if this 'friendly competition' was not there," she said.
What is the Higgs boson and why is it important?
A $10 billion search for answers
The Higgs boson is a particle whose existence was confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider by both ATLAS and CMS in 2012. This year's Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded to Francois Englert and Peter Higgs on Tuesday for their theories about this particle.
A simplified refresher on the idea: Throughout empty space is a phenomenon called the Higgs field, which is all around us. If this field gets excited, a tiny component will break off -- and that is the Higgs boson. This concept helps solve a fundamental question about the universe: Why does matter have mass?
That's one of the problems the collider experiments set out to explore. Adding to the mystique for the public -- but to the horror of scientists -- the Higgs boson took on the nickname "God particle" because of an eponymous book title (the author, physicist Leon Lederman, wrote that "Goddamn Particle" might have been more appropriate, but the publisher wouldn't allow it).
The accelerator started up on September 10, 2008, but after an electrical failure, particle collisions were delayed until late 2009. The hunt for the Higgs boson really took off in 2010, with the first high-energy particle collisions, ending the first "run" of protons smashing into protons in 2012.
After some lead-proton collisions in early 2013, the collider began its scheduled maintenance time in February. It's effectively turned off until 2015, but scientists at the accelerator -- it represents a $10 billion investment, excluding personnel -- are still pursuing their quest to figure out why the universe is the way it is. In other words, why we're here.
The Higgs boson is part of our origin story. The collider has sought to recreate the conditions of less than a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, to look at how the universe evolved.
Physicists and technicians are hard at work upgrading the machinery so that the collider can ramp back up at unprecedented energies. They're also optimizing detectors for longer-term upgrades and exploring the uncharted seas of particle physics from the first collider run.
"This is one of the most busy times," Incandela said, "because we have to be thinking about things way out in the future while we're also analyzing all the data that we have from the past."
Making it better
The two-year shutdown allows for improvements the connections between magnets in the collider so that the twin beams of particles can race around at nearly twice the energy: as much as 13 trillion electron volts.
Some people have the impression that scientists at the collider can take a vacation now, said Andrew Lankford, professor at the University of California, Irvine, and former deputy spokesman for ATLAS. But the thousands of scientists at both ATLAS and CMS actually have a lot to do.
Both ATLAS and CMS will come back online with a whole range of improvements. Among them on ATLAS is the insertion of a "B layer," a new shell of detectors that should allow a more precise measurement of some Higgs particles decaying into other particles, said Dave Charlton, spokesman for the experiment. CMS, for which Incandela is the spokesman, is adding a muon detector layer to improve the detection of those particles, which are similar to electrons.
The collider's maintenance period is crucial because if something goes wrong when it's on, either with the accelerator or at any one of the experiments, everything may have to be shut down. All experiments will then miss out on collecting data until the problem can be solved.
"Everything is kind of tied together very closely," said Evaldas Juska, an engineer who is working on computers involved with CMS. "Everything has to be working for the process to take place."
Entering the deep frontiers of science
I'd wanted to see a particle detector since I started reporting on the collider in 2008, but I tried to be professional about my excitement as my ears popped on the elevator descent.
It's safe to approach the collider now because the beams are turned off. But what would happen if a person managed to get into the collider's tunnel during operations?
Death would be likely if you stood in front of the particle beams, Incandela said. And at these energies, if tens of millions of protons were colliding anywhere near where you were standing, even with a heavy detector in the way, you could sustain potentially serious damage.
Fortunately, security is top-notch -- including a retinal scan -- and sweeps of the area are conducted to make sure there's no one in the tunnel before starting the beams, Incandela said. There are particular alarms that sound when a beam is about to begin.
"In fact, if you try to enter the cavern when the beam is running, the act of opening the door would trigger an immediate beam abort." Incandela said. "By the time you got the through the door, there would probably be no beam in the machine."
As we descend, Incandela tells us that if we hear any alarms, they won't be fake. But the elevator is isolated. There's air pumped into the column, and it has a separate power system, so it's actually a good mode of escape from a fire.
The doors open, and the buzzing sound of fans for cooling the unfathomable amount of electronics rushes in.
"OK. We're down now," Incandela said.
Where it all happens
One of our first stops was a long corridor with aisles of computing equipment in blue casings. No people have been obliterated inside the Large Hadron Collider, but these are delicate systems set up to get rid of data overload. At CMS, it takes much of three stories of electronics to help decide which particle collisions scientists will study.
Why? It's impossible to keep the data about all of the particle collisions -- tens to hundreds of million per second -- so the computers quickly choose 100,000 events per second and then feed that data to a "farm" of processors to whittle it down to 500 to 1,000.
Running this process, called "the trigger," is a tough job: What if something important gets lost in the filtering?
"I see those guys during the run, and they're stressed out for a long time," Incandela said.
Noise from the fans intensifies when we enter an elevated platform in the detector's lair. These days, the experiment is separated into multiple layers so individual components can get serviced. The nearly 14,000 tons of machinery can slide back together, air-hockey style, when high-pressure air is pumped into large circular pads at the base of each major section.
Looking over the green railing, I saw -- but couldn't hear -- a blonde woman in a hard hat sweeping the floor. Her small stature, relative to the detector pieces, gave me a sense of how massive the experiment really is.
CMS is about the size of a four-story apartment building -- 49 feet high -- with its components designed precisely to a thousandth of an inch. (ATLAS is even taller, at 82 feet.) The complex array of instruments includes about 100 million channels of electronics, all synchronized to a billionth of a second.
Bulging out from one slice is a black and silver endcap, which holds some of the experiment's 76,000 lead-tungstate crystals.
Another roundish layer of CMS is covered in mostly red and silver panels, but blue and red cables are slithering all around it. This is one of the magnet barrel rings, where the red directs the magnetic field and the silver rectangles are muon detection chambers.
The operation's core ingredient is large silver circular ring, the world's most powerful superconducting solenoid magnet. Inside it is an intricate tracking system made of silicon that measures the trajectory of particles without interrupting them.
During the shutdown, Ph.D.-level physicists work hands-on at CMS, wrenches and all, Incandela said, but most of the critical work is done by technicians. For instance, technicians are adding cooling lines that will be used for a system that will be put in place in two or three years. We saw a man in a white hard hat on a cherry picker, using a long wand-like tool, who is probably working on that.
"When the machine is off, it's like airplanes when they're grounded. You're losing time; you're losing money," Incandela said. "So we're trying all the time to optimize our use of these down times."
Incandela sounded like a proud parent as he gestured toward CMS components that came from different countries. There's iron from Germany, colored red, but also from China. Little orange cylinders, determining where the detectors mount, came from Serbia. There's green armature from Yorkshire, England. Small silver chambers came from Italy.
"Everywhere you point there's something from somewhere, you know, different," he said. "And what's great is that it all came together; it all fit perfectly."
There are 42 countries represented in the CMS collaboration and as many as 4,000 scientists.
When you think about how much brainpower and time went into designing and building this structure, Incandela said, "It's really a modern cathedral." (Not because anyone is worshiping a God particle, of course.)
What else is there to find?
In July 2012, scientists at CMS and ATLAS had accumulated enough data about particle collision events that looked like Higgs bosons decaying that they could say at last: It's real.
But there's lots more to learn about the Higgs, and more information about it could be lurking in data from the first collider run.
Some data still need to be, in physicist lingo, "unblinded." To avoid bias, physicists don't closely examine data that may correspond to a discovery until they're sure they understand all of the other results from the background. In other words, they don't do more tweaks and rigorous analysis of the most interesting data regions -- for instance, the Higgs boson -- until they have thoroughly explored the rest first.
"It's a bit like opening a present now, since we know there is something in it," Incandela said. "Before the discovery, it was not certain that the 'box' was not empty."
New discoveries are still happening. Recently both ATLAS and CMS released new evidence about the Higgs boson's properties. They each showed strong evidence of Higgs particles decaying into fermions, which are components of matter. (But the Higgs particle is not stable; once created, it quickly decays into other small building blocks of our universe).
This is significant because previously, when the Higgs was discovered, the detectors captured it decaying into particles called bosons, which carry fundamental forces.
That means, at last, the Higgs boson has been observed giving rise to matter particles and at a rate consistent predicted by the Standard Model of Physics, the leading explanation for how the universe works.
In other words, the Higgs is capable of creating matter with mass.
Scientists are also looking for a whole other array of particles predicted by a theory called supersymmetry. The idea is that every particle we know has a supersymmetric partner, which would explain some of the gaps in our understanding of the universe.
"I think supersymmetry has to be there," Incandela said. "It's not something kind of wacky that we just made up."
Also tantalizing would be if scientists find evidence of dark matter. The stuff we see is made up of particles that are only 5% of matter in the universe; the other 95% matter is dark matter, and it has never been detected.
How particle smasher and telescopes relate
All this is to say that finding the Higgs boson didn't solve everything. Because of the particular mass of the Higgs at 125 gigaelectron volts, it actually raises new problems.
"The only way you cleanly solve those problems is with a new array of particles, things like a mirror image of the existing particles, like another dimension of the universe," Incandela said. "And in that realm we have many good candidates for the dark matter. And they can't be too far away in energy."
Just beyond our reach
There could be much more than just one particle in this untapped dark matter realm, Incandela said as we rode the elevator back up. After all, it would be ridiculous to assume that our universe is made of just one particle.
Dark matter could even be something that we can access one day. We don't know what we could do with it or what technologies might develop, "but it would certainly help us understand the universe a lot better."
It may take an even more powerful machine than the Large Hadron Collider to find out. Discussions are in the works about a next-generation accelerator, the International Linear Collider, which could make even more precise measurements about components of our universe we know little about.
The elevator door opened, back at the surface in France. Incandela looked at me expectantly: "You don't get to keep the helmet."
I laughed and relinquished the orange hat, marking the end of my journey.
But for the scientists at the Large Hadron Collider, the exploration continues, accelerating knowledge.

2014 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander 1.5L
Named after Jim Clendenen's son Knox, this wine is from the finest lots of Pinot Noir from the estate Le Bon Climat and Bien Nacido Vineyard since 1998. These two vineyards, separated only by the Sisquoc River, have slow growing vines planted in well drained poor soils, which produce really distinctive Pinot Noir. Both vineyards struggle to yield much most years, but the small amount that is harvested is of amazing quality.
Vineyards: Knox is a blend of our two "estate" vineyards, Bien Nacido and Le Bon Climat. Both vineyards are in the Santa Maria Valley, with Le Bon Climat being located on the southern edge of this appellation. Le Bon Climat was planted in 1998 with low vigor rootstock in some well drained poor soil. This combination of low vigor plants and poor soil limit the crop size and slow ripening. The two blocks selected to be used in Knox are Block 2 and Block 11. Block 2 was planted in 1994 with a wide mix of clones, which are 103, 113, 114, 115, 2A, Mt. Eden along with some Pinot Meunier. Block 2 has a south/west exposure which is good for morning sun though many mornings during the growing season the sun is blocked by our Santa Maria fog. Our other premium block of Pinot Noir at Bien Nacido is Block 11 which is planted with clones 667, 777, 115, 2A, Swan and Jackson in 1997. Block 11 is a steep, hillside block with north/west exposure.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous
Score: 94 "The 2014 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander is distinguished by its intense aromatics and layered, vibrant personality. A wine of focus and tension, the 2014 will benefit from another year or two in bottle, although it is incredibly attractive today. A dollop of whole cluster influence adds tension and aromatic top notes in this super-expressive, impeccably balanced Pinot Noir from Jim Clendenen at Au Bon Climat."
Robert Parker - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Score: 90 Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander conjures notions of red currants, Bing cherries and violets with touches of mossy bark, wild thyme and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, with a pleasant chew to the texture, the subtle flavors offer lovely purity and an appealing herbal lift on the finish."

First look: Harry Potter's new theme park
By Sarah Sekula, Special to CNN • Updated 23rd January 2014
View Gallery
5 Pictures
A fire-breathing dragon, self-stirring cauldrons and dancing skeletons. These are the things Muggle dreams are made of.
But they won't be dreams much longer. This summer, Universal Orlando will open the doors, or rather the secret entrance, to
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter -- Diagon Alley
at Universal Studios Florida.
Once inside the elaborately themed area, which has been in the works since the summer of 2010, guests will feel like they've stepped onto the London film set, complete with the popular wizarding pub The Leaky Cauldron, several iconic shops and a marquee roller coaster-type attraction based on Gringotts, the goblin-run bank from the series.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter -- Hogsmeade, which opened in June 2010 at Universal's Islands of Adventure, was one of the most talked about new attractions of the past decade within the industry and has been wildly popular ever since. By August 2010, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, the star attraction at Hogsmeade, hit a million riders.
Parent company NBC Universal reported a theme park revenue increase of more than 30% in 2010, thanks in large part to the Wizarding World's opening that year. In 2011, theme park revenue jumped again by nearly 25%, followed by a modest gain in 2012 of about 5%.
"Park operators from around the world were impressed by the immersive experience Universal created and the meticulous attention to detail they used to bring the Harry Potter stories to life," says David Mandt, vice president of communications for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. "There is great anticipation within the industry to see how Diagon Alley will build on that success."
CNN got a tour of the 20-acre construction site, which roughly doubles the size of the Harry Potter experience, where thousands of designers, engineers and craftspeople are hard at work preparing for opening day.
Here are some things to know:
It's hidden
: The outside of this attraction is a hodgepodge of building facades built to scale, including the Wyndham Theater, Leicester Square's tube station and Grimmauld Place, which mask the entrance to Diagon Alley. Here, guests will be able to meander along the London waterfront, sit under the shade of trees and gaze at a replica of London's Eros fountain. Guests will enter under the arches of the Leicester Square facade. However, Universal has not said how exactly. In the series, Harry enters Diagon through a magical wall of bricks.
Once inside, guests will be immediately immersed in a bustling wizarding hub within a Muggle city where towering buildings are slightly askew, with steep staircases and jagged edges galore.
There will be goblins
: The star of it all is Gringotts, which in the series is a massive, goblin-run bank that Harry visits to get money for his school supplies. In the real-life version, visitors will be in awe of the marble lobby and cavernous passageways. They'll take off from here on a multi-sensory thrill ride through the vaults. And the dragon that will perch atop the bank building (reminiscent of when it escapes from the bank in the series) really does blow a giant ball of fire quite frequently, says Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative.
Your ticket to Universal Studios gives you access to Diagon Alley:
Admission into Universal Studios Florida ($92 for adults and $86 for kids ages 3 to 9), allows you to roam around the park and visit Diagon Alley. However, if you'd like to pop over to Hogsmeade via the Hogwarts Express, you must purchase park-to-park admission ($128 for adults, $122 for kids ages 3 to 9).
The train, where Harry meets pals Hermione and Ron in the first movie, will shuttle people over to Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure. Along the way, rather than seeing backstage areas between the parks, guests will see views of London and the British countryside thanks to some high-tech features.
It goes beyond the books/films:
J.K. Rowling provided Universal with names that didn't exist in the book. For instance, in Diagon Alley, visitors will find Horizont Alley and Carkitt next to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and the train trellis.
Although the world-famous author has not toured the site yet, "She has been involved as usual in the development process and has been a great supporter throughout the process as she was in the original in 2010," says Woodbury. "Just a delight to work with and a wonderful author. And someone we are eternally grateful to for creating a body of fiction that is so rich that gives us an opportunity to develop what we've been able to do."
There will be new merchandise and foods:
All the bits and bobs that any good wizard needs will, of course, be available.
Shops will include Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for Hogwarts scarves and character costumes; the three-story Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes shop for magical jokes and toys; the Magical Menagerie for owl and Hippogriff stuffed animals; Quality Quidditch Supplies for brooms and quaffles and more. Wand shop Ollivanders will be there, too. (Note: The Ollivanders location found within Diagon Alley is the original location, as referenced in the Harry Potter books and films. This shop will be larger than the current one found within Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure.)
The Leaky Cauldron, a popular wizarding pub and inn from the series, will be a "colossal space" serving Butterbeer and traditional English pub fare. Nearby, Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour will serve weird flavors like strawberry with peanut butter.
It will blow Hogsmeade away:
"We think the experience is exponential," says Woodbury. "It's not just one and one is two. In this case, it's one and one is six."
Actor Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom in the films, concurs: "It's ridiculous," Lewis said after touring the site yesterday. "The scale of it, it's just enormous."

When to follow the barbariansNovember 28, 2012: 9:45 AM ET
This article was published in the December issue of Money magazine.
The world of hedge funds may be shrouded in secrecy. But savvy investors can profit handsomely by following the public moves of some of the industry's high-profile players, especially as many are taking a more active role in cleaning up troubled companies.
In July 2011, Carl Icahn, one of the most famous "agitator" investors, put pressure on cellphone maker Motorola Mobility to do something with its lucrative patent portfolio. A month later Motorola sold out to Google (GOOG) for a 63% premium.
Last spring, hedge fund manager Dan Loeb of Third Point was instrumental in the ouster of Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson after Loeb found inaccuracies in Thompson's résumé. Shares of the online media company (YHOO) are up 15% since Loeb (now a Yahoo board member) disclosed Third Point's stake in fall 2011.
Other big hedge fund managers, such as Bill Ackman of Pershing Square and Nelson Peltz of Trian, have been increasingly quick to voice displeasure at companies they own. Should average investors listen up?
Stocks in their sights
While betting on ailing companies can be very risky, a big investor shaking things up can't hurt. But even billionaires don't have perfect records. And if you wait too long to jump onboard, you may miss the initial pop that often follows the news of their stake.

If you're willing to take that risk for the chance of a big payoff, check out the stocks that managers are circling now.
Fresh off his victory at Yahoo, Loeb succeeded in getting energy company Murphy Oil (MUR) to spin off its gas station business in October. Marian Kessler, co-manager of the Becker Value Equity fund, holds Murphy and expects Loeb to push for more shareholder-friendly moves.
Icahn is seeking changes at the trucking firm Oshkosh (OSK). He also owns a stake in rival Navistar, fueling speculation that he might get the two to merge. (After this column was published, Icahn also disclosed a big stake in video streaming firm Netflix (NFLX). Ichan is urging the struggling company to look for a buyer.) Hedge fund manager John Paulson is pushing to break up Hartford Financial Services (HIG).
Ackman has recently set his sights on Procter & Gamble (PG). After taking a stake in the consumer products giant in mid-2012, he warned at an investing conference in October that the CEO should be on a "tight leash."
Related: Tips on investing in stocks
Robert Luna, chief investment officer at SureVest Capital Management, owns P&G and says he's encouraged that Ackman is making noise. "It's a good thing to see an activist in a stock you own," says Luna. "If they didn't see value there, they wouldn't be in."
Of course, gurus can fail. Icahn pushed for film studio Lionsgate (LGF) to sell itself in 2011 be fore giving up and dumping his stake for roughly what he paid, only to miss out on huge gains on the success of "The Hunger Games."
Still, barbarians are always trying to maximize their returns. When they're right, the little guy can profit, too, by simply mimicking their moves.

Hi,I could swear I've read thread about Micasaverde product Vera, but now cannot find thread anymore to post this... Anyone knows what happened?I've tried demo web interface and also scenarios and events handling capabilities...All I wanted to say is that handling scenarios and event handlers looks really usefull and is exactly something we're after...Will that change get into code tree ?Thanks in advance,Bulek.

I guess that they changed mostly the highest level of web interface for dealing with events and probably they didn't change event handling engine.... Got any info if web-admin look like part code will be exposed to public ?Thanks in advance,regards,Bulek.
I've tried demo web interface and also scenarios and events handling capabilities...
As far as I know, that thread was removed because of the negative reactions from people who were upset at a new commercial product being presented while we are still trying to recover from the damage that was done to linuxmce's codebase in order to create it.
Bulek,Quote from: bulek on October 14, 2008, 09:50:40 amI've tried demo web interface and also scenarios and events handling capabilities...can you send me a link to that demo? It seems I can find it on their web page.I spent some thought about working on the current webadmin to get it a little more user friendly. Currently my plans are going in the direction of setting up something like a java application sever with ICEFaces or some other nice frontend. My intention is to make Webadmin a tool every user (not only the admin) can use easily, e.g., the media tagging would need some attention etc.What do you guys think? Is it worth investigating this possibility or will the java app server be to heaviy for the system?Regards,Chriss
Zaerc. Your comments are just plain wrong. All of them, in every way.>> 1.) if it is so trivial, then why haven't we still not recovered after months?As a background, I had an svn server which was the official LinuxMCE SVN for a long time. But, it was slow and there were some connectivity problems, so Hari and Daniel setup a new SVN server (CharonMedia) for LinuxMCE, and my old one wasn't used anymore. Sometime in August I was testing a way to use UPNP for streaming media and committed some test hacks into my *old* svn server to test a proof of concept. Unbeknownst to me, at some point the svn commits from the *old* server, which I thought wasn't used anymore, got committed into CharonMedia. It *is* very trivial to revert an svn commit. I do it every single day when a programmer commits something that breaks the builder. It takes < 60 seconds. You just do: svn log, note the rev #, and then do an svn revert. No biggie.
I think Thom will confirm that what he and Hari and Daniel have been struggling with for months isn't figuring out how to revert that svn commit. They're sharp guys, they could have reverted it in an instant. Rather the struggle has been trying to setup a build environment and get the 0804 or 0810 release out. In general the guys who are vocal and complain are *not* the ones who do the work. Those of us who do the work, like Daniel, Hari, Thom, myself, etc., know it is a *HUGE* task to get each LinuxMCE release. I worked 7 days a week, 16 hours a day without a single day off, for almost 9 months to get 0710 out, *and* I had a paid, full-time staff working on it the whole time. What's taking Thom, Hari and Daniel so many months is getting the next release out; not reverting an svn commit.
>> 2.) and lose just about all the improvements/fixes that were made over the past 6-12 months.What improvements did anybody lose? If you lost something it has *nothing* to do with me. Thom never mentioned that you "lost" stuff. You really don't understand the concept of svn. An errant svn commit doesn't make you *lose* anything. That's the whole point of svn. You have a history and can revert any mistakes, and everything is recoverable.
>> 3.) he was building a new commercial product that has little to do with linuxmce in the linuxmce SVN and could have at least done so in a branch.As I said, I was *NOT* using LinuxMCE's SVN at all. The LinuxMCE SVN is on charon media. I have never committed anything to it. I committed something to my old svn server not knowing it fed into the LinuxMCE SVN server. And, it had nothing to do with the commercial product anyway. Like I said it related to UPNP streaming.
>> If "_who really did the 0710 release_" were actually concerned about linuxmce and this community,they would have helped out instead of leaving us"Leaving us" I'm on Thom's, Hari's and Daniel's buddy list on Yahoo IM, and they all have my phone number, and I'm online at least 15 hours/day. Plus I have regular contact with Hari and Daniel. Who left? Further re: "concerned about linuxmce"... Ok, let's compare... 5 years ago I sold a very nice in Miami, moved to Romania, where I lived in a tiny hole in the wall for *years* working 365 days/years on LinuxMCE. Every dime I ever had went into LinuxMCE and paying the team in Romania to keep going on it. For 4 years. Do you realize how big LinuxMCE is, and how much code there is, and how much work went into it? Why would I have done that if I didn't "care"? And what contribution have you made that you feel you can judge me and say I haven't done my fair share to contribute? Remember, it's *free* software. People doing this are volunteers. Every time someone donates their time to work on it, it's a gift. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. And certainly don't say that somebody isn't doing enough to ensure that you have a nice media server that you don't have to pay a dime for.
>> an anonymous announcement for their new product (that was created at our expense). At your expense? How was it at the expense of anyone in the LMCE community? What you mean by "at our expense" is that up until June, every line of code in LinuxMCE, 5 million lines of it, was written by myself or the full time staff of Pluto. The *only* contribution in 4 years was 60 lines from Tinia. So it was *very* easy for the LinuxMCE community to 'coast' up through 0710 because nobody in the community had to do anything. Pluto paid for the servers, all the developers, everything. And the community got it for free. Which is fine. I don't have a problem with that.
But what's so whacky is that all you guys were constantly screaming "death to Pluto". Do you remember what you and Barry wrote in that post? You wrote: "We hope Pluto (ie aaron.b) will just die"... "We'll be much better without them". "Death to Pluto". "Just die"...
Now, in this thread you write that you feel Pluto was "leaving us" (literally) because Pluto isn't doing all the work for you anymore and the community is going through a rough patch to take over. Do you realize how absolutely *insane* that position is to call for the death of someone and then cry that he's "leaving you"? Jeez.
>> that 0710 release was delayed almost 6 months (presumably mostly due to fiire's commercial interests)Again, a totally whacky statement. Fiire was Pluto's *ONLY* paying customer. All the work Pluto did, our sole activity, was to write software which was incorporated into LinuxMCE. There was no diversion of resources for a "commercial" interest; Fiire's interest and LinuxMCE's were the same: a stable 0710. That's what Fiire paid Pluto to do, and put a lot of pressure on us to fix hundreds of bugs and make many, many improvements, all of which made it into 0710. So how on earth do you say "0710 was delayed because of Fiire"? Where on earth does such a ridiculous statement come from? There wouldn't have been an 0710 if it wasn't for Fiire. Fiire is what was driving our work because they paid us a license fee per unit. So, again, going back to that flame post.... LinuxMCE was written completely by Pluto/me. Fiire was Pluto's paying customer.
You guys were adamant that Fiire must die. You guys put negative comments *everywhere* in the wiki saying 'death to Fiire', boycott Fiire, etc., because they're "commercial" and trying to build a business by selling LinuxMCE-compatible hardware.
But that commercial business is what paid for LinuxMCE's development! Do you realize that if Fiire had been successful there would have been an 0804 release already??!! Do you realize that your "burn Fiire to the ground" comments were really the worst thing you could do for LinuxMCE?
You question how much "concern" I have for LinuxMCE. WTF??? You guys who are so insistent on destroying any commercial company that tries to build a business which can fund LinuxMCE's development hurt LinuxMCE way more than I ever could. You say you're "concerned" about LinuxMCE, but then you go for the jugular and want to shut down everyone who pays to keep LinuxMCE going.
LinuxMCE's saviors and guardian angels, btw, are Hari, Daniel and Thom. Hari somehow managed to get a bunch of kick-ass servers with mega bandwidth to keep things going. I don't even know who's paying for it. Did you thank them btw?
>> these people obviously have no interest in working with us, apart from selling us their products.For years "those people" have done nothing but work day and night on LinuxMCE and contribute everything to the community. You guys just assume that there's a bunch of fat cats getting rich off the community. You are *SOOOOO* far off you can't imagine it. I know the guys at Fiire. They also gambled everything they had to fund development of LinuxMCE because they couldn't sell hardware unless the software was stable. Nobody was getting rich, or even paying the bills, off Fiire. Every dime went into funding LinuxMCE. A couple guys in Fiire worked without a salary for months to keep things alive. One suffered major health problems as a result of the stress and will never recover. The fact is that when Fiire wanted to sell their products they wanted to do everything open source. But, we couldn't find *any* video drivers that were stable enough for a commercial product. nVidia was the closest, and their drivers crashed all the time and had bad video tearing. ATI, Intel, etc. were much further behind. I personally met with some top execs at nVidia, ATI, and Intel begging for them to put resources into their Linux drivers. But they all said there was no commercial market for it. Yeah, duh, it's because guys like you are so opposed to commercial companies using Linux and proclaim 'death' to any commercial company that tries to build a business around open source. (shoot self in foot)... nVidia, ATI, Intel, etc., have an obligation to their shareholders to only go after commercially viable markets, and all of them said "Linux is just for servers, there's no commercial market for Linux media centers." Only closed platforms, like Broadcom and Sigma, have stable Linux drivers (ie TiVo). Via agreed to develop a rock solid, commercially viable Linux driver and license it to Pluto & Fiire. Fiire went in with the best intentions and started marketing the Fiire stations based on those assurances from Via. As you know, the Via drivers weren't as good as we all expected them to be. So, Fiire bought back lots of Fiire stations from angry customers. Fiire's employees went without pay so the money could go to buying back Fiire stations. *Nobody* was getting rich off Fiire.That's why I wrote in my posts that if there's a company, like Fiire, that gambles on offering a LinuxMCE media center, rather than taking the safe route with Vista, it's in the LinuxMCE community's best interest to support them, not demand that they stop using LinuxMCE (ie switch to Vista).
When Fiire's customer service went to hell, it's much better, imho, to listen to the reason 'why' and offer constructive criticism as opposed to saying "die you bastards and rot in hell". (Oh, and then cry that you've been "left" when you get your wish)
I just wonder if you realize how much these hateful remarks hurt the community?
You understand that most of the reason why guys like Thom, Hari, Daniel and me make so many sacrifices to develop open source is for the personal satisfaction, since there's little money to be made.
As an extreme analogy to make the point, it's like the people who donate their lives to, for example, Habitat for Hummanty (not that LinuxMCE compares to a home of course). These people volunteer their time and money to build homes because it makes them feel good to do something nice for the community. Imagine if after they spent months building a home to give to an underprivileged family, they hand over the keys to that family, hoping to put a smile on their face, and instead the Dad looks at the house and turns to the volunteers and "you filthy bastards giving me that nasty tile floor! I want Terrazzo damn it. If you cared about me and my comfort you'd have given me Terrazzo! Die and rot in hell!", kicks dirt in the volunteers face and throws the keys at them. How do you think the volunteers feel? Do you think they feel like putting the effort into getting this family Terrazzofloors? Do you think they feel excited about volunteering to build the next house?
Bottom line: I think if you showed more appreciation for the people who put in so much effort the community would be a lot better off.

Microsoft delivered the first service pack for Office 2013 on Tuesday, making good on a promise last year to ship the update in early 2014 and synchronizing its release with prior editions' initial service packs.
Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was accompanied by similar updates for Exchange 2013 and SharePoint 2013, the two most important server-side products that tie in with Office in enterprises.
The release of SP1 was right on time: The last two Office SP1 updates, for Office 2010 and Office 2007, shipped about 13 months after their respective original editions' debut. Microsoft started selling Office 2013 at the end of January 2013.
Traditionally, service packs -- whether for Windows, Office or any other product in the Microsoft portfolio -- have been little more than collections of past security patches and other non-security bug fixes.
That's changed: Microsoft has done away with service packs for Windows and instead has moved to a faster development and release tempo, such as October's Windows 8.1, an update -- don't call it an "upgrade" -- that included new features, revamped apps, user interface (UI) changes and some backpedaling from design decisions that many customers couldn't swallow.
While Microsoft seems determined to retain service packs for Office, it's made clear that for Office, Exchange and SharePoint, changes and new features will be offered first to subscribers of Office 365 and the cloud-based la carte services like Exchange Online. On-premises software, like Office 2013 when sold as a "perpetual" license -- paid for once, then used as long as the user wants -- presumably receive the same updates and features, although at a later date.
That was in evidence in Office 2013 SP1.
Microsoft added Power Map, a 3D data-visualization tool that's been in a public preview stage since April 2013 and part of the Power BI [business intelligence] for Office 365, as a native, in other words built-in, tool rather than an add-on. But it's available only to Office 365 customers, Microsoft implied.
Not true, said Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, in an interview Wednesday. "The edition of Excel included in Office Professional Plus will include it as well. Cheaper editions/editions not [sold] through volume licensing won't include it."
Which is a problem. Miller argued that Microsoft has done a poor job explaining to customers what licensed Office users get, what Office 365 customers receive, and how much each costs. "It hasn't been messaged well," Miller said. "And it's hard to make a buying decision if you don't know what you're buying."
As an example, Miller cited Power BI and the integrated-into-Excel tools, such as Power Map, Power View, Power Pivot and Power Query, which can be used as stand-alone tools or in conjunction with the back-end service of Power BI.
"[Power BI] is a very interesting suite of technologies, but the problem with its integration with Excel is that it starts to be difficult to explain," Miller said.
To access Power BI, customers must have Office 365 ProPlus (which costs $12 per user per month), Office 365 Midsize Business ($15), or Office 365 Enterprise E3 ($20) or E4 ($22), then pay an additional $20 to $40 per user per month for the new service.
Companies or organizations that have already purchased perpetual-license Office -- Office 2013 Professional Plus in most cases -- can subscribe to Power BI for $40 per user per month.
At the root of Microsoft's problem was the complexity of what is still a hybrid ecosystem, with some components of the service-style Office 365 still hosted on-premises -- as Office is, no matter how it's obtained -- or when tools work on licensed copies but also do more with a subscription. "That's the conundrum, trying to compare on-premises with off," Miller said. "This really highlights the complexity of describing the hosted and on-premises products when licensed two different ways, from both a supportability and licensing perspective."
And that translates into a tougher time gauging the usefulness of a service pack for licensed products like Office 2013 SP1.
Other than Power Map, Microsoft called out only a few new features in SP1. Among them: a name change of SkyDrive Pro to OneDrive for Business to match the new brand that debuted in January and launched last week; compatibility fixes to better support Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 (IE11); enhanced support for higher-resolution devices, including tablets and 2-in-1s; and new APIs (application programming interfaces) for developers building Office Apps, the add-ons that are being distributed and sold at the Office Store.
The continual influx of features or apps for Office 365, and the relative paucity of like features in SP1, has made some wonder whether licensing Office the old-fashioned way puts them at the back of the line and casts them as second-class customers.
There's some truth to that, said Miller. "It's relatively clear that Microsoft, while certainly not abandoning traditional licensing, can't update on-premises with the velocity we've just seen for Office 365 [in the last year]," he said. Some of that is resistance from companies that do license Office the traditional way; they're not ready or willing to change, Miller contended.
The emphasis on Office 365's primacy is part of the "cloud-first" strategy that Microsoft is pursuing, said Miller, whether referenced as "services" in former CEO Steve Ballmer's drive toward making the company a "devices and services" firm, or in the first-day phrase of "mobile-first, cloud-first," of new CEO Satya Nadella.
Although Office 2013 users will receive SP1 notifications over the next 30 days through Windows Update and WSUS (Windows Server Update Services), customers can immediately download the service pack manually using links found in a support document. The 32-bit version of Office 2013 SP1 tipped the digital scales at 644MB, while the 64-bit version was a 744MB download.
At the end of that 30-day stretch, Microsoft will begin pushing SP1 as an automatic update to users. The delay between initial availability and automatic updating through Windows Update is normal practice for Microsoft, one designed to give companies time to prepare for the update, or put in place mechanisms to block the update until they can test it on a subset of their systems.

Isaiah 24:15, The Message
When your favorite team wins a huge victory, you just can't help shouting for joy. When you are given an important award, you jump up and down in happiness. When you get a gift you have been wanting for a long time, you want to tell all your friends about it. You want to broadcast the good news.
When we take the time to think about all God has done for us, there is so much good stuff that we could certainly shout for joy about it. What has God done for you that could make you jump for joy? Has he healed a grandparent from a scary illness? Has he given your mom or dad a job or a better job? Has he helped you improve your grades or your basketball game when you prayed and asked him?
Even if he hasn't done any of those things for you, he has made a way for you to go to heaven with him. Also remember that in tough situations, God is doing good things. He loves you even when you act ugly. When you are sick, he may use it to help you rest or to encourage someone else who is ill. Maybe you don't feel like yelling out loud to God in all situations, but look for reasons to praise him. Something about giving thanks and praise to God out loud makes us feel better.
Dear Lord, As the writer of Isaiah said, "All praise to the Righteous One!" You are my God, and you are mighty. Thank you for loving me. Amen.

Bohemian says:
Honestly, I don´t know JR´s game. I would like to see him playing minutes in preseason because I don´t see him contributing much this year. Let's face it, if these were the pre KG Celtics I would feel really enthusiastic about JR. Now we just can´t make experiments. No Gerald Green watching, no Marcus Banks showing little IQ... The time now is to seize the last years of our future Hall of Famers. I´m sorry but we´ll have to wait to see JR, just not now
What I have seen in limited minutes I have liked. I expect him to surprise a few people
The Coach says:
Giddens is a serious athlete with a huge upside. I totally forgot the Celts took him over Chalmers though. Chalmers backing up Rondo would have been quite an upgrade!
I agree with Bohemian as far as expecting anything from Giddens as a contributor in games this season.
Hopefully he will learn from all the veterans around him and be able to take on a role in the future.
Karl Dillinger says:
Chalmers would have been a perfect fit this year, still makes me cringe. There are a 1,000 JR Giddens's in the NBDL right now.

Body found on Phoenix mountain where man missing
PHOENIX (AP) — A body was found Tuesday near the top of a popular Phoenix mountain where authorities had been searching for a Seattle man who went missing after going on a weekend hike.
Hikers reported finding the body on the south side of Camelback Mountain, about 200 feet from the peak in rugged terrain dotted with some brush, Phoenix Fire Department officials said.
It wasn't immediately clear if the body was that of Eric Fernandes, 23, who was last seen by other hikers Saturday. They said he was alone and described him as surprised by the difficulty of the hike.
A helicopter was to lift the body off the mountain before authorities begin the task of identifying it.
The ground search for Fernandes had been halted just hours before the body was found late Tuesday afternoon. Phoenix police said search crews had covered all the area they could by foot and there was no sign of the man.
Sgt. Trent Crump, a police spokesman, said people in distress on the steep, rocky mountain can be hard to spot if they have fallen into crevices.
Crews had to stop searching for Fernandes on Monday because of 110-degree temperatures. The search resumed Tuesday morning. Investigators also posted Fernandes' photo and other information on Camelback Mountain's trailheads.
Fernandes had been visiting the Phoenix area with his father and planned to hike the mountain before heading home. Max Fernandes reported his son missing Sunday.
Investigators found Eric Fernandes' car at a trailhead and recovered receipts that indicate he bought a hydration backpack and some water.
Police said his cellphone died sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

U.S. embassy security in the post-Benghazi era is shaping up to be a financial bonanza for security contractors. It's not necessarily going to look like the 'roided-out era in which the firm formerly known as Blackwater and its ilk paraded diplomats through dangerous thoroughfares with specialty rifles in tow. But any company that can provide the State Department with either armed guards, surveillance tools or hardened facilities would be smart to practice its elevator pitch.
The scope of the bonanza isn't yet clear, especially concerning how much of a likely cash infusion at the State Department will go to private security contractors. And the rebranded company Academi doesn't do nearly the amount of business with State that it did under its old Blackwater incarnation, and so we're just using its old moniker as a placeholder here. But both the influential independent commission on the September attacks in Benghazi and a Senate hearing on Thursday pointed to flooding the State Department's security corps with money. And one of the key post-Benghazi decisions the next secretary of state will make is whether to continue spending that cash on hired guards or to bolster the ranks of State Department employees that protect diplomats themselves.
The Benghazi commission, run by former Amb. Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, recommended spending an additional $2.2 billion over the next decade on "construction of new facilities in high risk, high threat areas." It also urged using emergency war funding to finance "respond[ing] to emerging security threats and vulnerabilities and operational requirements" in dangerous postings. Ironically, even while the commission blasted the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for inadequately protecting the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, its recommendations will line the bureau's coffers.
At the State Department, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton asked Congress to reroute $1.3 billion in unspent Iraq reconstruction cash for enhancing embassy security. According to congressional sources who've seen the request, that cash takes a variety of forms: hiring 150 more Diplomatic Security agents for the State Department; funding an additional deployment of 225 Marines comprising 35 teams; and approximately $700 million to bolster the exterior defenses of its diplomatic buildings. A letter Clinton sent to her legislative oversight committees urged legislators give her "authority to streamline mandatory processes for faster results." The Sex Pistols called it Cash From Chaos; the diplomatic corps prefers more bureaucratic language.
Those calls for added cash were blessed by a key legislative panel, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, at a Friday hearing. Senators of both parties repeated the mantra "resources matter" and decried recent cuts in the State Department's operations budget, a perspective cheered by Clinton deputies Thomas Nides and William Burns. "Just to build a wall at an embassy could potentially take months to go through a contracting process," Nides lamented.
Most U.S. diplomatic facilities are secured by personnel run by the governments that host them, an obligation under an international pact known as the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Some senators on the panel expressed discomfort with it, particularly after learning that the Benghazi complex was secured by unarmed employees of a British security firm and by a Libyan militia that proved unreliable. "Generally, these people are confused, said Sen. James Risch (R-Id.), who said he got a "real sense of incompetence" from foreign guards. Nides and Black pledged that a revamped team at the Bureau of Diplomatic Security was taking a look at the "capacity" of local forces in "high risk" environments to adequately protect U.S. diplomats.
This is a crucial moment for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. When it doesn't depend on local guards to protect embassies, it depends on private security contractor in dangerous places. Numerous internal State Department studies have faulted the bureau for lax oversight of those contractors, which has led to dead local civilians and wasted money. And it's not just the bureau: its ultimate boss, Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy, blocked Congress' Iraq watchdog from learning even basic facts about its hired army in Iraq. The bureau may have been burned by the Benghazi commission, but it's about to have a lot more cash on its hands.
But if there was ever a time for Diplomatic Security to reform, it's now, after its four top leaders resigned over their Benghazi performance. In addition to hiring new Diplomatic Security agents, Clinton has set up a new position in the department to oversee how it protects State's most dangerous outposts. Congressional sources say that the biggest opportunity for post-Benghazi contract cash is in the construction windfall for bolstering embassy perimeter security and installing better spy equipment. If the bureau opts to train and deploy more of its own agents to protect diplomats instead of hiring guards, it would mark a major departure for the State Department.
That's a departure that seemed to weigh heavily on the Senate panel chairman, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). Kerry threw his support for having an "expeditionary diplomatic corps" that goes "outside the wire" to connect with locals in far-flung places. But he worried about the "unmistakable stare" from distrustful locals "as you pass through a village with masses of guns and big armored personnel carriers and Humvees." What he didn't say is that that's how U.S. diplomats pass through those villages: in armored SUVs full of men in wraparound shades and carrying rifles. With Kerry likely to be nominated as secretary of state, he'll decide how comfortable he is with State's history of using those contractors to keep his diplomats safe – especially since he's likely to have a lot more cash in a chaotic world to spend on security.

I want to prevent that we fill that topic with stuff the topic wasnt made for. So i simply continue it here.
mofetagalactica wrote:
Res management its already a clusterfuck of inbalances anyway, i dont even know if devs are balancing upkeep if units, because i have seen some units eating too much MP.
Warhawks97 wrote:Well. Upkeep is a different story. But yeah, glad people notice it. The lowest MP upkeep has WH followed by brits (brits tank have sometimes lower less MP upkeep but much more fuel). Then comes PE and finally US which get on a same level with PE when supply yard is up and on same level to WH when first upgrade is up and usually the best when all are up except in terms of fuel upkeep of tanks where axis remain vastly superior. Snipers and recons however keep more expensive than axis one.
MarKr wrote:I wasn't there when the upkeeps were set in the first place but in general I would say they are set to keep playing viable for all factions in connection to their units costs and intended playstyle. WM and CW have expensive units but lower upkeep, while US have higher upkeep and cheaper units, PE being between. If you set upkeep the same for everyone, let's say the high US upkeep, then in early game WM/CW will have expensive units and high upkeep and so they will be able to field less units and every loss will be more painful than now, and later in the game US will upgrade upkeep and gain huge advantage in this field compared to other factions. On the other hand if you set it low for for everyone then again US will be able to spamm even more and later again with upgrades.
Some upkeep values are however set wrong due to mistakes - e.g. Hetzers take 1MP upkeep instead of 10 or Comets have about 7MP upkeep. This was reported to us recently and it will be fixed in the next patch.
They are taken from vcoh in a few (or many) cases. The huge upkeep gap between US sniper/recon and axis one has no real reason. Axis snipers can kill expensive CW commandos and allis snipers expensive axis fallis. Both can also kill just cheap stuff like volks and rifles.
The unit cost thing is also not really a true argument. Rangers might be slightly cheaper than WH grens, but also way worse when it comes to their basic stats (but also later as upgraded stats). Basically, WM and US are quite similiar in some aspects. Both can win with cheap units or expensive units.
That PE is in between cost/upkeep of WH/CW and US is also not true. Their inf belonged for quite a long time to the most expensive producable units (eg heavy assault grens) without any options to buy cheaper inf units like WH or US can do. At the same time their rifle stats were worse than those of WH grens. Basically saying: PE payed more in prod cost and upkeep while getting worse stats than WH. This got changed recently (cost drop) and will be (rifle stats improvments).
The fuel upkeep was based on a page with stats of vehicles (just as they did with gun penetration drops, just that they used the worse possible stats for US guns while using stats of shots that werent used at this time anymore, but this is not a problem balance wise, rather better in terms of gameplay). Sadly they used onraod fuel consumption (liter per kilometer is what a unit cost in upkeep) for axis tanks but offroad for allis tanks. For axis this page simply didnt provide off-road fuel consumption stats for some tanks. As a result a tank IV (battle tank and TD based on it) cost almost nothing in fuel upkeep, shermans more than panthers.
@markr. That Hetzer thing got recently reported? I admit that i was unaware of the comet but that hetzer thing has got mentioned already in 2015 or 16 when i am correct.
Regarding brits tanks: their MP upkeep in general is pretty low but their fuel upkeep in return very high in some cases.
Short story: Upkeep is nothing "that cant be changed" and it has no real "reason" to be as it is. Its a mixury of vcoh ukpeep stats, randomly set values or taken from pages, just with "very selective" numbers that were used.

Cards fan Urruela selected as club's Hero winner
ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals fan Brian Taylor Urruela, of Tampa, Fla., has been chosen as one of 30 winners in Major League Baseball and People Magazine's "Tribute for Heroes" campaign. Urruela will participate in several All-Star Week festivities and be featured in the July 22 issue of People Magazine.
Urruela, who served in the United States Army Infantry for more than six years, lost his leg during an explosion in Iraq in 2006. After returning home, Urruela helped start VETSports, a non-profit organization that provides adaptive sports opportunities for wounded and combat veterans. The organization also created an annual college benefit for the son of Urruela's commander, who lost his life in the explosion that took Urruela's leg.
Urruela, a Purple Heart recipient, is currently studying sports management at the University of Tampa and intends to try out for their junior varsity baseball team.
Urruela will be honored during an on-field ceremony before next Tuesday's All-Star Game at Citi Field. He was selected as one of the 30 contest winners -- one representing each club -- from a group of 90 finalists.
