RIM PlayBook Compatible with Android Apps Soon 37 by Christine Torralba on January 16, 2012 7:23 am 4 During last week's CES 2012 event, Research In Motion (RIM) showcased a new device called the PlayBook OS 2.0. While many got excited for its upgraded and native email client, more people got interested in the fact that the version promised to run Android apps. RIM's Vice President of Developer Relations and Ecosystem Development, Alec Saunders, has said that a few 'number of thousands' of Android apps shall be available once the PlayBook OS 2.0 becomes available. However, the device is not pre-loaded with the ability to run Android apps. A software program will be required for a compatible format to the device. Moreover, developers need to put their apps through the standard app curation process of RIM so they can be included in the BlackBerry App World. "We don't want to enable an open marketplace the way the Android Market is. The company hopes to weed out the malware and pirated apps that often appear in the Android Market," said Saunders. Additionally, Saunders warned that there is one limitation of using Android apps on the PlayBook. While users are able to multitask between several Android apps on the device, they can only have one Android app and a native app run simultaneously. RIM is currently working with other aggregator marketplaces to port apps as well as attending Android meet-ups so they can encourage other developers to make have a PlayBook version of their app. The Playbook 2.0 is set to be available in February.
Odeon Launches Own App for Moviegoers 32 by Christine Torralba on January 16, 2012 6:22 am 0 For people who are fond of watching movies from Odeon cinemas, the establishment has recently launched its own app under the same name. Thanks to the app, users can easily make bookings and choose their straights with no fuss. Moreover, they can locate a nearby local cinema. Plus, Premiere Club members get to track their reward points. While any other movie app can do that, Odeon has another feature to boot. Apart from making reservations and all that, the app also enables its users to watch trailers, read plot summaries, and even see star ratings. With this, users are sure to get unbiased information about the movie they are planning to see. Thanks to this little app, we can probably expect the future of movie theaters and cinemas to follow suit. Apart from the Michelin-starred food served in this huge cinema chain, the app serves as a great resource for a different movie watching experience. The Odeon app is free and is currently available for Android and Apple users.
I'm Watch for Android is Something to Look Out For 48 by Christine Torralba on January 16, 2012 5:14 am 3 Android smartphones and tablets are so last year! Now, more and more manufacturers are coming up with smaller Android powered devices, such as a wristwatch. Apart from the Sony SmartWatch, there is another manufacturer that has joined this new trend. I'm Watch for Android is now available to users who want functionality while on the go. The watch not only comes as a stylish twist to everyday time wear , it is also a Bluetooth connected watch that lets its user do all the usual things with a smartphone; such as make calls and check his emails. We've heard that the I'm Watch for Android will be sold in different color options and strap materials. Thus, it will also have a varying price range starting from $350. Designed in Italy, the current version of I'm Watch for Android runs an outdated OS, the Android 1.6. But hopefully, its manufacturers realize that they have used an obsolete OS on the device which many will find a waste of money.
Sony SmartWatch Announced at CES 2012 64 by Christine Torralba on January 16, 2012 4:13 am 2 Over at Sony's booth in last week's CES 2012, the company launched several new devices worthy of attention. Apart from the new Sony Xperia Ion, Xperia S, and a pair of Google TV devices, the company also unvelied some accessories which they called as Smart Extras. This included the Smart Wireless Headset Pro, Xperia SmartTags, and the SmartWatch. The SmartWatch was the one that caught our attention. It is actually a micro display accessory that has an active Bluetooth communication with an Android smartphone. When activated, it is capable of accessing calls, messages, music, and applications wirelessly. The 128x128p display has a 1.3"OLED touch display screen and can be mounted on a strap then worn on the wrist as a watch. Aside from Bluetooth, the SmartWatch has a vibrating unit, hardware button, and accelerometer. It is also splash proof. Apps on the SmartWatch can be customized by its user through the Android market. Availability of the SmartWatch and the other Smart Extras is scheduled for Q1 of this year but no specific release datehas been given.
Wells Fargo Brings Mobile Banking Experience to Android Users 33 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 6:30 pm 1 For a faster banking experience, you can now use your Android powered smartphone or tablet to check your Wells Fargo bank account. Given the fact that this institution has already launched a multi-level mobile banking presence in the market, Android users can now get more from the experience. "As we looked at making a decision to make our app available at the Amazon Appstore for Android, the key was looking at our customers and figuring out the best way to reach them," says Wells Fargo's Internet Services' Senior Vice President and Head of the Retail Mobile Channel Brian Pearce. "It's just another way for us to be where our customers are." Wells Fargo Mobile is an app that can now be downloaded for free from the Android Market. It is also available on Amazon Appstore, Apple Store, HP App Catalog and BlackBerry App World. To download the app, you can click here.
Vizio Introduces VTAB 3010 at CES 2012 28 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 5:30 pm 1 A year after Vizio stopped solely concentrating on TVs and joined the market for Android tablets and smartphones, they are finally ready to come out with their second tablet. During CES this year, Vizio surprised everyone by announcing their upcoming line of laptop computers. However, this did not mean that Vizio already abandoned the tablet market. In fact, the company gave teasers about their second tablet, known more popularly as the M series but is really called the VTAB 3010. Compared to the VTAB 1008, the new model has similarities on the 10-inch screen of the iPad. Moreover, the promo image of the new tablet indicates features such as front and back cameras, as well as Micro HDMI and Micro USB ports. Even its dual-purpose as a remote control, the new model is highly similar to last year's model. Upon purchase, the tablet comes loaded with Google Mobile Apps including the Android Market. Unfortunately, one of the reasons why the VTAB 1008 wasn't a big hit among many people was because of some issues on the dim viewing angles and the bulky design. In addition, many were disappointed that its partnerships with Netflix and Hulu did not arrive as fast as they hoped. But hopefully, Vizio has learned their lesson and has listened to the concerns expressed by their reviewers. With regards to its pricing and availability, Vizio still has not given any specifics. However, sources say it might come soon to a nearby Costco or Sam's Club branch.
TripIt App Gets Optimized for Samsung Android Tablets Version 38 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 4:30 pm 0 TripIt, a famous travel management service, took advantage of the recent CES 2012 event to launch their newest Android app for both Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Because of the extra screen size, users of the app get to have an option to view the list of all trips on either portrait or landscape mode. It also has a single itinerary overview beside the chosen view. As such, users get to dive more into the specifics of their flight details including their seat assignments and confirmation numbers, while still keep an eye out on their full trip schedule. The app also provides a dynamic view to directly navigate maps from the itinerary. So as soon as users have chosen a flight, the location of the airport will light up on the map. Users can then choose how to get directions they need. The version 'optimized for Android tablets' is also available on other mobile platforms other than Android. You can get the app by clicking this link.
The Straits Times App Coming Soon to Android Smartphone Users 32 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 3:37 pm 0 English daily publication, The Strait Times, has made news to launch an Android app for smartphone users. Users of the app will get an Android version of the full editorial content of the publication as well as free breaking news coverage and push notifications for these. A seven-day archive is also available. This is not the first time the publication released a digital version of their news, however. Back in August, an app for iOS devices was launched already. Just 24 hours after it was launched, it received over 126,000 downloads. It was reason enough that the app was well-received by its audience. "Since the launch of our iPad and iPhone app in August, we have received constant requests from readers to make ST available on the Android platform. Market surveys have shown an increase in the number of Android smartphones in use, so our latest app serves a real need." said Mr Patrick Daniel, Editor-in-Chief, English and Malay Newspapers Division. "With the Straits Times now available on Android smartphones in addition to iPads and iPhones, we can now extend our reach to a new group of readers who can read and access our quality news offerings any time of the day, while on the go." added by Mr. Han Fook Kwang, Editor of The Straits Times. This time, the Android app version will be offered in two All-in-One price packages. Option A compromises the daily ST newspaper version, ST Online free and premium editions from the website, as well as the Android version. On the other hand, Option B will include the same features but will be available up to two devices for the Android smartphone edition. The monthy price package for these two options are $26.65 and $28.65, respectively. The Straits Times app will be available at the…
LightPad G1 Can Help You with Your Presentations through Your Android Smartphone 35 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 2:37 pm 0 Call it functional, amazing, or just about anything else—but if you're the serious type, you're going to enjoy this new product for your Android phone. Using your Android smartphone, you now have the power to turn it into a powerful tool for your seminars—thanks to LightPad Pico Projector. During CES 2012 this week, lots of new products were introduced to the world's best technology geeks and people in the know. While there were a number of new products and technologies that were instant attractions, there were also those that proved they still needed more study. However, if there was one product that caught the attention of the public was LightPad G1, a real transformer. It is neither a smartphone, tablet, nor laptop computer; but it has the ability to change your smartphone into one, well, pretty close. The LightPad G1 is actually a dock, which transforms your smartphone into a laptop. Through the dock, you can project the contents of your device onto a large surface. Moreover, you can also use the LightPad G1 as a QWERTY keyboard. The good thing about the dock is the fact that it can easily be taken along wherever you go, as it is about the same size as an A4 paper. To convert project your files, you simply need to connect the projector in the back of your smartphone. It will then transfer images from your smartphon onto a 11-inch screen; giving you a screen resolution of 854x480p. The LightPad G2 is also available with a 1280x720p screen resolution. Other than Android, the projector can be used on other operating systems such as iOS and Windows.
Oracle VS Google Trial Has No Definite Date 38 by Christine Torralba on January 14, 2012 1:30 am 0 A Thursday ruling filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California states that there is no clear date for a trial over Oracle's lawsuit against the alleged Java intellectual property violations committed by Google for their Android mobile OS. "Before a trial date will be set, the issue of damages methodology must be finally sorted out," says Judge William Alsup. "Put differently, the Court will not set a trial date until Oracle adopts a proper damages methodology, even assuming a third try is allowed (or unless Oracle waives damages beyond those already allowed to go to the jury)." Just last week Judge Alsup ruled that trial for the case will start on or after March 19. However, the recent update has put this date aside. "For this 'delay,' Oracle has no one to blame but itself, given that twice now it has advanced improper methodologies obviously calculated to reach stratospheric numbers," An estimate originally given last year Oracle's damages expert was amounted to $6.1 billion for damages caused by Google in the alleged violations. However, the judge rejected this assessment and has required Oracle to produce another acceptable damages report. In addition to a second assessment, Google has filed a pending petition against going to court for an appeal over the controversial email that was written y Tim Lindholm, a Google engineer. "What we've actually been asked to do by Larry and Sergey is to investigate what technology alternatives exist to Java for Android and Chrome," Lindholm wrote in the August 2010 email, shortly before Oracle filed suit, referring to Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. "We've been over a hundred of these and think they all suck. We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java." Oracle has requested for the trial…

I'm pretty sure I unconsciously make deals with God every so often to make sure that should I be destined to die of anything other than old age that He give me a life long enough to witness certain cinematic moments. In the 90s, I wanted to make sure I saw all the Star Wars prequels. Later, I had to be around long enough to catch the Lord of the Rings trilogy in its entirety. On TV, I prayed that nothing would ever stop me from seeing the end of LOST (and now the Breaking Bad finale coming next year). But now, when it comes to movies, I will start making deals with God, the devil, 'round-the-clock on-call medical teams, and Vegas bookies to make sure I survive to see the Avengers film next May 2012.
I work out, eat healthier, and I don't play in traffic. Hopefully, the odds are in my favor, because this is THE epic midnight screening amongst the geeky hordes of Marvel fandom that cannot be missed!
Want proof? Here's the first official trailer for the film along with a few screenshots taken from it below…
Oddly enough, we still don't get to see the great army that Loki has gathered from his inter-dimensional travels after his Thor movie defeat. I won't spoil who they might be with the speculative spoilers that are already out there, but I'm hoping we see them in future trailers or officially unveiled in a special presentation at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim (hint hint).
TO MARVEL AND JOSS WHEDON – All I ask is that we never ever ever get to see the heroic angle money shot of the whole team standing in one frame with Captain America shouting "Avengers Assemble!" UNTIL we see the actual movie!
Don't ruin that moment by putting it in any subsequent trailers. It HAS TO be experienced in the movie itself at the start of the final battle. I beg of you. Don't take that epic moment away from the movie. It won't sell more tickets by putting it in a trailer and will only seem anti-climactic witnessing it in the movie after seeing it a billion times in the trailers and various tv commercials. I'm serious. And I think fanboys around the world would agree. Of course, that's assuming that scene is even in the movie (hint: it kinda has to be if you want to slam dunk this thing).
Avengers assembles in theaters May 2012!

Description: The WE Full Metal Blow Back M14 EBR is easily the highest quality EBR replica on the market and is built upon WEs tried and tested M14 GBB system. The Enhanced Battle Rifle, EBR for short, was first introduced to the Navy Seals as a extremely accurate DMR with the ability to get in close and personal if the need arises. The WE M14 EBR is constructed out of fully CNC machined aluminum alloy that is anodized with a black finish. The WE M14 EBR clocks in at around 11 pounds fully loaded, which while it is not the lightest gun on the market it is not cumbersome on the field. The WE EBR features a multitude of features over the standard M14 that allow the user to comfortably and efficiently operate the rifle. The EBR chassis features a fully railed front hand guard with two rails on the side of the gun, one on the bottom for mounting of a vertical fore grip, and finally a full length top rail for mounting of optics such as a red dot or magnified scope. The Chassis also features a retractable stock with adjustable cheek rest to ensure a proper sight picture and a pistol grip to allow the user to maintain a good hold on the gun in a high speed environment. Two Sling mounting points are also featured on the EBR chassis on the front and rear of the gun for mounting a variety of slings to aid the user in carrying the EBR. A standard rear M14 style sight that is adjustable for both windage and elevation is used on the EBR as well as a fixed front sight. The WE M14 EBR is a great modern adaption of the M14 and will truly impress any airsoft player.
Specifications: Manufacturer: WE Muzzle Velocity: 370-400 Weight:10.9 pounds Length: 40.3" Magazine Capacity: 25 Rounds Package Includes: Gun, Magazine, Manual Product does not include Holosight or Vertical Grip.

Ada County Sheriff's investigators hoped an autopsy would help them determine how a 55-year-old woman whose body was found in a Star home Wednesday afternoon died.
That breakthrough didn't happen Thursday, as Ada County Coroner's officials say they could find no cause of death for Taryn Ann Marcum.
Both the cause and manner of death for Marcum are listed as pending on the coroner's report. Officials say toxicology may provide some important information but don't expect to get the results of those tests for several weeks.
Ada County sheriff's spokeswoman Andrea Dearden said a report came in shortly after 2:30 p.m. of a woman found dead in a house in the 10000 block of W. Wild Iris Street in Star. Coroner's reports indicate Marcum lived at the home.
Dearden said detectives found circumstances at the home they felt were "suspicious," and continue to work to figure out what happened.

I placed a order for a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini on 03 FEB 13. After the 7-14 working days for the delivery arrived and there was no sign of the product I e-mailed the company to seek an explanation. The response I received was mainly an excuse based around the fact that they had loads of orders being processed and that they don't have the manpower to cope with the situation. As a 'valued' customer, I find this an incredible response to an inquiry about a late delivery, basically saying that the company was doing really well and so we don't really well so we don't have time to worry about your situation. The customer service 'executive' said that the order would be dispatched by the end of the week, but unsurprisingly this failed to materialize. I have now written again and have decided to post here to try and get a more constructive response. I really don't understand why Simply Electronics feels that it is good and fair business practice to take money from someone and give them absolutely nothing in return for almost one month. These are difficult economic times and this sort of reckless practice will further compromise an already difficult personal finance situation for households. Even more condescending in their business method is that they routinely and systematically give false hope to customers using the following methods:
1) By having an order status update on their website that keeps offering false hope to the customer that the the order is progressing along some sort of mythical conveyor belt and getting closer every day towards dispatch. Eventually my order has said 'awaiting dispatch' for TEN DAYS.
2) Offering optimistic and ultimately unfulfilled promises in their correspondence with disappointed customers.
3) Somehow managing to delight selected customers so much that they feel compelled to give them a 5 star review on this site. This clearly means that they either love you or hate you as a customer of that some other unethical business practice is going on in the creation of 'fictional' reviews.
This company employs highly questionable business ethics which I suppose in this modern age of faceless communications has become more acceptable in areas such as banking and finance (the libor scandal etc). It is so easy to rip someone off when you don't need to look them in the eye and explain yourself. It is a sad indictment and a poor example of modern e-trading practice, and I urge anyone reading this to please please consider your options. Pay a little bit extra, and get an item from a known and trusted source, and avoid the inevitable heartbreak and stress that come with dealing with a company that deems it acceptable to trick its customers.
I have now cancelled my order, more than a month after placing it. I am getting nothing from e-mails now and they have gone cold on me. Please somebody from SE come forward and tell me why you are not replying to my e-mails. I don't want a screen protector, I want you to acknowledge the cancellation and to refund the order.

Watch Whales, Surfers and Sunsets or Walk to the Beach or Town
You sent a message to this owner.

- Wheel chair accessible:No
Cayucos house description
Wrap-around decks will entice you to eat or sleep in the sunshine, but you can also sit in front of a cozy fireplace and watch a winter storm roll in from the sea.
It is an easy walk to the pier for a morning surf session or a cup of coffee. It is little bit more work walking up the hill after a night on the town, but you can burn off all those delicious calories that you consumed at one of several fine restaurants or wine bars.
Pets are welcome. You can stay in your pajamas and let your dogs have an early morning romp in the covered dog run below the house, but then they will want you to take them to the beach which is just blocks away. Cayucos loves dogs. The Lioness Club provides 'mutt mitts' at all the public beach accesses, and Kelly's coffee shop will give your dog treats. The house comes with pet blankets and towels for your furry best friends. Your pet can bathe in a large sink in the garage next to the washer and dryer.
Music-lovers will enjoy the piano, and bring your guitars. The inspiring views and high ceilings make the house a perfect place for an evening jam. Gourmet cooks will appreciate the six-burner stove and walk-in pantry. Families with children will like the bunk room that sleeps four, and twin bedroom. However, if you have very young children who like to climb, you might be a little nervous with the height of the decks.
Photos do not do justice to the view. Everyone who enters just says, 'Wow!' With two master king bed suites, it is perfect for two families or a group of friends who want to relax. There is a Danish dining room set with a breakfront full of fine china if you want an elegant dinner. But the house is meant for fun and relaxation. You can put your feet up on the sturdy coffee table and eat in front of the television, or sit at a little table on the top deck and watch all the people below. You enter the house through an atrium with a glass roof and wood deck. It is a perfect place to read a book (or nap) in the sun or stargaze at night. It is a safe and secure place to leave your pet while you are out wine tasting or kayaking. For those who don't like stairs, there is one King suite on the street level close to the entry.

This is a beautiful property. Fantastic panoramic views of Morro Rock, Cayucos and north. Our family of 10 and additional visitors had plenty of room to spread out in the spacious accomodations. We appreciated all being able to be in one place for our vacation/reunion. Our dogs loved the run area beneath the house and appreciated the dog beds and treats supplied by Alice. Alice was fantastic to work with and we appreciated her welcome basket and getting to meet her face to face. Thank you for opening your home to us.Recommended for: Pet owners, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: You are so welcome! Thanks so much for leaving ice cream in the freezer, and thanks for starting the loads of laundry. My cleaning team really has a lot to do to get the house ready for another family in under five hours, and we really appreciated all you did to make it easy. It was a pleasure to meet you both and your beautiful dogs. I hope that every summer I can house sit for a friend in SLO and meet my guests in person.

We enjoyed this house and the town of Cayucos tremendously. Used it as a family celebration for a Cal Poly Grad. No regrets about coming North from SLO (about 25 minutes). All ages can enjoy this house. Upstairs bedroom perfect for elderly (or anyone). Master suite downstairs with wonderful view. You do need to know that bunk bedroom and twin bedroom are very much together, so the 6 people involved need to be comfortable with each other. Daybed is in a pass through area for entire downstairs. The kitchen and atrium are fabulous. Folks who want to play ping pong in garage are not at all cut off from the larger gathering on the main floor. At least 4 of us walked back and forth to town on several occasions, but you also do need to know there is a steep hill inolved getting to and from the house. After that, the walk is very easy. This house was simply perfect for our family gathering. Owner is the nicest person. Loved, loved, loved our experience. Longing to visit again.Recommended for: Pet owners, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks. The town of Cayucos and I are very happy to read that your wonderful family had such a great time. We await your return.

What is really amazing about this house is its location and its comfort; you can see it all, the view of the ocean is breathtaking, you can see the town of Cayucos, and you can walk to the beach or to the town in just a few minutes to go swimming in the ocean, go for a candlelight dinner in a nice restaurant or for a few drinks at the pub. This house is ideal for a romantic gateway because you have the most amazing view of the Pacific ocean and you can walk naked in the house and nobody can see you but you can see everything; and what could be more romantic than to have a glass of Champagne by the fireplace contemplating a million-dollar view. You might think why you would rent such a big house for a romantic gateway, because where else can you wake up with the loved one contemplating the Pacific Ocean. Actually, it was hard to decided which of the two master berdoom to choose from, both have high-quality beds as you would find in a fancy hotel. You can also enjoy a jetted tub after a long walk on the beach and a swim in the ocean.Recommended for: Pet owners, sightseeing, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for the wonderful review. Your comments make me want to stop landscaping the dogrun and find someone who knows how to make a fire and open champagne bottles.

I highly recommend this house for your next trip to the Central Coast. The owner is accommodating and friendly. The house was immaculate, well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. We had our two Labs' with us for the visit and found the house and beach very dog friendly. The dog run under the house is much larger than anticipated and worked well for the day's we had to leave the dogs at home. The views are spectacular. We enjoyed a nice fire on the cold evenings while looking out over the ocean, sparkling from the moon. In the morning you can watch the fog recede over the ocean reveling a beautiful sunny day. The beach and town are an easy three blocks from the house. I would recommend this house to couples looking for a romantic getaway, Friends up for wine tasting or families looking for some fun beach time.Recommended for: Pet owners, sightseeing, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for the review. I am pleased that when the fog hid the sunset, you enjoyed the fireplace. And of course, I love to hear that I made the dogs happy too.

I spent New Years at this property. Rarely do you get to enjoy this kind of unobstructed panoramic view so close to the ocean. The fireplace was burning brightly and it was the perfect place to play our instruments and sing in the New Year! I awoke at sunrise and was enticed to the deck (just steps from my bed) to watch the the sky turn colors as the light danced across the Morros in the distance and tinged the breaking waves with pink. I grabbed my camera and took some awesome shots before crawling back in my cozy bed for a little more snoozing. The house is roomy and comfortable and accomodated all of us without feeling cramped. The owner is a doll and the house well-stocked with all of the necessities. The dog run was a big plus for those of us traveling with four-legged friends. I have trouble with stairs so it was great to be able to have a bedroom, bath and everything else I needed on the street-level top floor. I recommend this property for a classic Cayucos experience.Recommended for: Pet owners, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1999
About the owner: I spent each summer of my life at Grandma's beach house in Cayucos. I learned how to swim while diving under waves and holding my breath. I brought my UCLA band friends to Cayucos and we marched in the Fourth of July parade for a few years. I brought the Salinas ski club to Cayucos when I was a young teacher. When I became a college professor at Cal Poly, we held faculty retreats at the beach house. I shared the beach house with the San Luis Obispo Symphony while I was in the percussion section. I have always loved sharing my love of Cayucos. My mother always told me I needed to own a piece of property even though I was married, teaching at the local university, and living on a 700 acre cattle ranch. She was very wise and with the money she left me I was able to purchase my dream house on the hill. Now divorced, and quite happy living on a 50 ft sailboat in Baja, I am not ready to return and work full-time in Cayucos. I teach at a university in Mexico and travel. I have had fabulous renters over the years, and have enjoyed living here between tenants. I eventually will return to work on the Central Coast, live in my house, and set up my drum-kit in the living room. But for now, it makes me happy to know that I can give others the joy of Cayucos living year-round
Why the Owner Chose Cayucos:
I was told you are not supposed to buy real-estate with your emotions, but I fell in love with the house. It was perched on a hill with a huge tree and it reminded me at first of a tree-house. When I entered I just stood and looked at the view. Grandma's house was on the ocean with stairs to the beach, but this view was so much more amazing. I knew that this was where I wanted to be when I was too old to surf. I would sit on the deck with a dog on my lap, my friends, good local wine, and watch the whales, surfers at the pier, and the people below. I pictured the SLO Symphony playing on the huge lower deck. The inside looked beautiful with high ceilings and woodwork, but not pretentious. It looked like the perfect place for the Swedish decor and Danish Furniture that my mother left me. I was a little fearful of making such a huge purchase, but my eldest cousin told me how she and her husband had once sat on the hill where this house was and watched a storm dramatically roll in from the sea. She convinced me to 'Go for it' and I am very glad that I did.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
I love to sleep on the sofabed in the living room with the town below as a huge night-lite. Or, from either of the master suites, I can wake up and see from the bed how the waves are at the pier, and how many surfers are out. I walk with my surfboard to the break if it looks good, or I walk the dogs to the beach and get coffee and pastry in town. A little market, wine bistro, bars, antique stores, restaurants, and dancing to good local bands are all within walking distance.
I have always allowed pets in this house and trust pet-owners to be responsible and caring people. As I write this I have two foster puppies playing in the atrium and a cat sunning himself on the upper deck. I am still in my PJ's so the dogs just went out to the dog run.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Châteaux Bellevue is barrel-aged for six months on its lees (100% new oak) for a total of approximately 24 months. Final blending takes place just before bottling, and the wine is neither fined nor filtered.
"This backward, primary wine may have just finished malolactic fermentation. From a tiny vineyard owned by Chantal and Gerard Perse, the fruit was harvested on September 17 at a microscopic 22 hectoliters per hectare. Composed of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 Bellevue Mondotte is the most powerful wine in the Perse portfolio, coming in at 14.5% natural alcohol (more similar to 2009 and 2010 than most 2011s). From a great terroir (just across the street from Stephan von Neipperg's La Mondotte), the wine exhibits massive, full-bodied power, extraordinary depth and richness as well as a boatload of tannins that have yet to soften and mellow. This appears to be a long-term proposition for most readers. I suspect it will soften considerably during its upbringing in oak barrels, and will undoubtedly require 5-6 years of cellaring after its release in 2014. If you are young, wealthy and have a lot of patience, purchasing this wine should be a serious consideration as it should turn out to be one of the great 2011s.92-94+ Points" 94 Points The Wine Advocate
"Vivid deep ruby. Sexy aromas of strawberry and blueberry are complicated by subtle cola and ink nuances, along with with slow-building spiciness. The tangy black fruit flavors gain depth with air, with tobacco and mineral nuances adding complexity. Finishes with massive yet silky building tannins that give the wine ample support. 89-92 Points" 92 Points International Wine Cellar
Until recently, tiny Chateau Bellevue-Mondotte, nestled on the Pavie plateau, was virtually unknown by wine connoisseurs. The size of the vineyard - just 2.5 hectares - was undoubtedly the main reason for this involuntary anonymity. However, the second part of the chateau's name, reminiscent of its famous neighbors La Mondotte and Chateau Troplant-Mondot, gives us an idea of Chateau Bellevue-Mondotte's exceptional terrior.

After searching and watching for weeks I purchased this unit as an open box product. I received it in perfect condition with original packaging, all manuals and accessories. Within minutes I had it set up and working with my HD cable hookup. The picture is great, sound is pretty good for a flat screen too. Plenty of connections for different setups, which is nice to have. Drawbacks are that the TV is slow to change channels & sometimes powers off at strange times when using the cable "universal" remote. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and would buy this or a comperable Vizio if the price is right.
Its a great tv for the price.. the sound has some problems you have to tinker with.. and my remote control sensor was bad on my tv.. It wasn't worth hassling to me.. I got great picture quality and decent sound..
After reading a lot of bad reviews of this unit, I was skeptical. When I turned the TV on, I was simply shocked: the picture quality is far beyond my expectations: the screen is vivid and actually really bright, the sound is all right (if one have the correct set-top box or cable-box, the True sound features are garbage: leave them off, use a surround system if want a hi-fi sound) and the usual features are all present. The remote is so-so: seen better, but it works, channel surfing is a little sluggish, but not that bad (there is no 5 seconds lag as someone stated, that unit must be faulty), I only experienced a longer wait (3-4 seconds) when switched from one input to another with different resolution.
For the price a great tv. Big enough to be a big screen but small enough to fit in any room. Since it has newer technology many images have a 3d effect and it has the newer energy rating. Set has 4 hdmi imputs which helps but switching between them causes a lag and sometimes you must channel through the inputs once for the set to acknowledge a signal on am input different from when the set was turned on. I dont like the fact that the vizio symbol at the bottom is always lit. The anti-loud commercial feature really is ineffective since it only prevents sudden rises. If you have a sudden low sound you still are going to have a huge difference in the sound levels between the normal and soft.
the picture and price was great but those are the only pro's.my tv has had 3 issues,first it would change volume on commercials and also vary from channel to channel,then it would randomly shut off. i put up with these issues for about a month then called vizio for answers/help. they sent me a firmware update in mail for free which solved both problems. Now the volume will randomly get a "choppy interuption" then go out completely. contacted vizio again all they could do for me was give me repair company numbers. my tv is now 2.5 yrs old i did not buy the extra warranty,so it will now cost me to get it fixed. i will not buy another vizio. product,maybe mine was just a lemon but still not happy because of the 3 things that have gone wrong with it.

Multiple Channel Audio Data and WAVE FilesUpdated: March 7, 2007 This article describes the standard for storing and transporting multiple channel audio data using the WAVE file format. The reader should have a basic understanding of multimedia file formats, and especially of audio file formats. This article describes the method used to author multi-channel audio streams that require well-defined channel/speaker locations. Any of these formats could be used to indicate the number of bits of precision in a high-resolution stream. On This Page Introduction IntroductionThe PC has become a good multimedia platform for today's applications. CD-quality audio (stereo, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz) is typically the highest audio quality achieved on the PC platform. As the industry moves forward, new content is being authored for standards that eclipse those currently defined. This includes higher sampling rates, greater bit depths, and multiple channel (greater than stereo) audio streams and playback systems. In order to keep pace with new data formats and delivery mechanisms, a standard must be produced to ensure consistency between applications and hardware. Microsoft has extended formats that are traditionally mono or stereo and 8-bit or 16-bit. Basing WAVE_FORMAT_PCM and WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT on a structure named WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE does this. As a matter of fact, any currently registered format tag can be extended in the same way by using WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE. Creating a GUID (globally unique identifier) for the SubFormat field of WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE for existing format tags is done using the macro DEFINE_WAVEFORMATEX_GUID(x) defined in ksmedia.h. Some of the commonly used GUIDs have static names that can be used instead of the macro. These names include KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM, KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEEE_FLOAT, KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_ALAW, KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_MULAW, KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_ADPCM, and KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_MPEG. New formats that do not have a registered format tag just need to define a new GUID for their format type. Examples of other format GUIDs that have been defined and do not have a matching registered format tag are MEDIASUBTYPE_DOLBY_AC3, MEDIASUBTYPE_DVD_LPCM_AUDIO, and MEDIASUBTYPE_MPEG2_AUDIO. Using WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE allows for specifying certain channels in the order of speaker configuration defined in this article, and/or content that indicates the number of actual significant bits in a sample container. This structure is intended for use in situations where WAVEFORMATEX is not satisfactory. The WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE format tag defined for the wFormatTag field of the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure indicates that the SubFormat field of the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE is to be used when determining the format of the data that the structure describes. Since this format struct includes a GUID, sub-formats representing vendor-specific wave protocols or data formats can be defined without registering new wave format tags with Microsoft. Multiple Channel ConfigurationsAmbiguity within WAVE_FORMAT_PCMIn the traditional interpretation of uncompressed PCM wave formats, there was no way to connect a given channel to a given speaker in a multi-speaker configuration. The stereo-speaker configuration was always assumed, and since nChannels was always one or two, it was easy to map these to a pair of speakers. Files with nChannels > 2 were dealt with through proprietary, undocumented mappings, but the range of possibilities was small because only two speakers (hence two wave outputs) could be assumed. With the onset of enhanced audio output configurations such as quadraphonic (four-corner), 3.1 (front left, front center, front right, low frequency enhance), 5.1 (front left, front center, front right, back left, back right, low frequency enhance), and so on, this situation has changed. The many possible speaker configurations available for both playback and authoring must be taken into account. Today, a collection of streams intended for 5.1 delivery would most likely be streamed as a six-channel file. There still exist, however, multiple-channel files that are intended as packages of synchronized mono files. It was deemed impossible to define a default multi-channel speaker configuration for WAVE_FORMAT_PCM without causing functionality to break in one of these file types. Therefore, a channel-to-speaker specification for WAVE_FORMAT_PCM will continue to be undocumented for the case of nChannels > 2. Default Channel OrderingThe way to deterministically link channel numbers to speaker locations, thus providing consistency among multiple channel audio files, is to define the order in which the channels are laid out in the audio file. Several external standards define parts of the following master channel layout:
The channels in the interleaved stream corresponding to these spatial positions must appear in the order specified above. This holds true even in the case of a non-contiguous subset of channels. For example, if a stream contains left, bass enhance and right, then channel 1 is left, channel 2 is right, and channel 3 is bass enhance. This enables the linkage of multi-channel streams to well-defined multi-speaker configurations. Warning: Content intended for the Low Frequency channel may not be rendered on the speaker that the data is sent to. This is because there is no way to guarantee the frequency range of the low frequency speaker in a user's system. For this reason, a speaker that is receiving low frequency audio might filter the frequencies that it cannot handle. Representing High-Resolution AudioAmbiguity within WAVE_FORMAT_PCMIt is important to enumerate the assumptions made by WAVE_FORMAT_PCM. One assumption is that the nBlockAlign field contains exactly one set of samples (one block). Also, each sample must be byte-aligned within the block. The byte-aligned space that each sample consumes is called the sample's "container." Additionally, there cannot be any extra space between the end of the last sample container and the actual end of the block. In other words, nBlockAlign must be an integer multiple of nChannels, and that multiple is considered the "container size" for the sample. Although it was not necessarily the original intent, some entities treat wBitsPerSample as equivalent to the container size. In other words, the number of bits of valid data was assumed equal to the size of the container. This assumption held well for 8-bit and 16-bit audio. With the coming of high fidelity audio equipment for render and capture, 20-bit and 24-bit streams emerged. Specifying the actual bit resolution of the samples in a byte-aligned stream became important; the accepted interpretation of wBitsPerSample started to unravel, because its value is not rigidly enforced by all software. In many cases, it continued to be the container size. In other cases, however, the field was used to indicate the bits of actual valid data, while the container size was inferred from nBlockAlign and nChannels (an example would be wBitsPerSample = 20, nBlockAlign = 8, nChannels = 2). It was not considered feasible to resolve this issue either way without causing many legacy problems for WAVE_FORMAT_PCM, so the new formats include an additional field that clarifies this ambiguity. The new formats are intended to handle those cases in which the actual bits of precision are not equal to the container size, as well as all cases in which the container size is greater than sixteen bits. It is not the purpose of this article to resolve the ambiguity of wBitsPerSample for WAVE_FORMAT_PCM. However, this same field will be used unambiguously in the new formats. Specifying the Actual Bit DepthIn the new formats, wBitsPerSample is strictly defined as the container size. Containers must be byte-aligned, so wBitsPerSample must be a multiple of 8. A new field conveys exactly how many of those bits contain actual data, regardless of the size of the container. As audio goes through a processing system, the number of valid data bits per sample can change. Each sample is justified to the most significant bit, so it is easy to add additional precision on the bottom of a sample, or dither to a lower precision. The container size can be manipulated independently without implying any change in the data precision. A 24-bit stream in 32-bit containers (for efficient processing) can safely be transferred into 24-bit containers (for efficient storage space) without any data loss. Using WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLETo solve the problem of multiple channel ordering and high precision data, Microsoft has defined the new structure WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE. This new structure not only has the benefit of solving these problems, it also provides a mechanism for self-registering new data formats. The SubFormat field is set to the GUID that specifies the type of data described by the WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE structure. Definition of WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLEThe definition (in MMREG.H and KSMEDIA.H) of WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE is included below:
The definition (in KSMEDIA.H) of KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM is included below:
PWAVEFORMATPCMEX can be safely cast to PWAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE or PWAVEFORMATEX.
The definition (in KSMEDIA.H) of KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEEE_FLOAT is included below:
PWAVEFORMATIEEEFLOATEX can be safely cast to PWAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE or PWAVEFORMATEX.
Details about WAVEFORMATEX FieldsWhat follows are interpretations of the fields of the WAVEFORMATEX structure, descriptions of the new fields, and numerous examples that seek to clarify the use of this format.
A special case is necessary because of the nature of variable bit rate formats where a static wBitsPerSample cannot be provided. These types of formats should specify 0 in the wBitsPerSample field.
Details about the Samples UnionTo keep the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure under the 64-bit limit, wValidBitsPerSample and wSamplesPerBlock were joined together in a union called Samples. An extra field named wReserved was also added for future use.
If wValidBitsPerSample is less than wBitsPerSample, then the actual PCM data is "left-aligned" within the container. The sample itself is justified most significant; all extra bits are at the least-significant portion of the container. All non-valid data bits must be set to 0. The value of wValidBitsPerSample should never exceed that of wBitsPerSample. If this is encountered, the proper action is to reject the data format. An entity can change wValidBitsPerSample as it processes the data. For example, an application would know that a stream with wValidBitsPerSample = 24 must be dithered to 16 bits if the output driver indicated that it supported wValidBitsPerSample = 16 only. Although this can be very expensive from the standpoint of memory bandwidth, wBitsPerSample can be changed as well. wValidBitsPerSample indicates whether the container size (wBitsPerSample) can be reduced without data loss. A stream with wValidBitsPerSample = 20; wBitsPerSample = 32 (for processing by a 32-bit CPU) could safely be compressed to wBitsPerSample = 24 (for archiving to disk). Without wValidBitsPerSample, one would not know whether this was lossless.
Specifying Channel Locations Using dwChannelMaskTo account for the possibility that only a subset of the possible speakers is present, a new field dwChannelMask was created to specify the mapping of channels to spatial locations. In support of this, the following bitmap can be found in sdk\inc\ksmedia.h and sdk\inc\mmreg.h:
These values correspond exactly to the master channel layout defined in various external standards. As an example, assume nChannels = 4; dwChannelMask = 0x00000033. This indicates that the audio channels are intended for playback to the Front Left, Front Right, Back Left and Back Right speakers. The channel data should be interleaved in that order within each block. When using WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE, channel locations beyond this predefined set of 18 are considered reserved. One should make no assumptions regarding ordering of channels beyond these, other than to assume that Microsoft will conform to additional standards. Details about dwChannelMaskThe field dwChannelMask indicates which channels are present in the multi-channel stream. The least significant bit corresponds with the Front Left speaker, the next least significant bit corresponds to the Front Right speaker, and so on, continuing in the order defined in Section 2. The channels specified in dwChannelMask must be present in the prescribed order (from least significant bit up). In other words, if only Front Left and Front Center are specified, then Front Left should come first in the interleaved stream. Should nChannels be less than the number of bits set in dwChannelMask, then the extra (most significant) bits in dwChannelMask are ignored. Should nChannels exceed the number of bits set in dwChannelMask, then the remaining channels are not assigned to any particular speaker location. An audio device would render the remaining channel data to output ports not in use. If an audio sink, such as WDM Audio's built-in kernel mixer, does not know to process the extra channels without speaker locations, the data is not rendered. Having nChannels exceed the number of bits set in dwChannelMask can produce inconsistent results and should be avoided if possible. If, for example in a multi-channel audio authoring application, no speaker location is desired on any of the mono streams, the dwChannelMask should explicitly be set to 0. A dwChannelMask of 0 tells the audio device to render the first channel to the first port on the device, the second channel to the second port on the device, and so on. This also means that if the device doesn't know how to process the raw audio streams, it should not accept the multi-channel stream with a dwChannelMask of 0. A device like a digital mixer or a digital audio storage device (hard disk, ADAT, and so on) might want to accept formats without particular speaker locations. The dwChannelMask value 0xFFFFFFFF (or any value in which the most significant bit of the DWORD is set) is pre-defined to indicate that an entity supports all possible channel configurations. An example would be WDM Audio's built-in kernel mixer. There will never be a location corresponding to the most significant bit in dwChannelMask, so this value is unambiguous. This format does not deal with speaker locations that do not correspond to the defined values, although Microsoft reserves the right to define them in the future. ExamplesMulti-Channel 16-bit
The four channels of audio data are packed into memory as follows, and a pointer to that memory is stored in the lpData member of the WAVEHDR structure. Byte 1 - Channel 1, Front Left, Low Order Byte Again, PWAVEFORMATPCMEX can be safely cast to PWAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE or PWAVEFORMATEX for portability.
The two channels of three-byte audio data are packed into memory as follows, and a pointer to that memory is stored in the lpData member of the WAVEHDR structure. Byte 1 - Channel 1, Front Left, Low Order Byte, only top four bits have valid data NOTE: nAvgBytesPerSec is computed using the block size (nBlockAlign), as opposed to the container size (wBitsPerSample) or the actual number of significant bits (wValidBitsPerSample).
The two channels of three-byte audio data are packed into memory as follows, and a pointer to that memory is stored in the lpData member of the WAVEHDR structure. Byte 1 - Channel 1, Front Left, Low Order Byte, only top four bits have valid data
The two channels of four-byte audio data are packed into memory as follows, and a pointer to that memory is stored in the lpData member of the WAVEHDR structure. Byte 1 - Channel 1, Left of Center, Low Order Byte, no valid data These streams could be sent through a scaling algorithm that puts fractional values into the lower 9 bits as well, and the only change to the values in the wave format structure would be:
An Example Using WAVEFORMATIEEEFLOATEX
Byte 1 - Channel 1, Front Left, Low Order Byte, no valid data
Byte 1 - Mono Channel 1, Low Order Byte, valid floating point data |

Vantage Launches With Santa Clara Project
June 17th, 2010 By: Rich Miller
There's a new player in the data center business, and it's headed by a familiar name and building a campus in Silicon Valley.
Vantage Data Centers launched today and announced funding from Silver Lake Partners, a leading technology investment firm. Vantage is led by CEO Jim Trout, who has lengthy experience in the wholesale data center space, first as president of CRG West (now CoreSite) and then as Senior VP of Portfolio and Technical operations at Digital Realty Trust.
Vantage has acquired a fully operational data center in Santa Clara, Calif. from Intel and will develop the 18-acre property into a larger data center campus. The property currently features dual 50 megawatt electrical substations.
Building Out A Data Center Campus
There are three buildings on the campus on Walsh Avenue, one of which is fully leased to a data center customer. Vantage has begun work on expanding a second existing structure into a 60,000 square foot data center, which is scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter of this year. The third building on the campus will be retrofitted for data center use, with delivery scheduled for the second quarter of 2011."Redevelopment within this large existing campus environment allows our company to collaborate with customers on their long term data center growth plans, providing ample room to expand within the campus and enabling distinctive customer support operations," said Trout. "Vantage will also deliver the lowest energy rates in the region, which combined with our scale and flexibility, will translate into significant potential cost savings for our customers."
As a wholesale data center company, Vantage will build finished "plug-n-play" data center space, which can be leased by clients. Although tenants will pay a premium over typical leases for office space, they are spared the huge capital outlay required to build their own data center.
The wholesale model has proven popular with companies seeking to conserve capital during the credit crunch. Other players in the wholesale space include Digital Realty Trust (DLR), Coresite and DuPont Fabros Technology (DFT), who are all currently building new data center space in Santa Clara.
Focusing on Economies of Scale
Vantage's approach will focus on building data center campuses that offer economies of scale in purchasing power (typically 30 to 40 megawatts per site) and staffing. The company anticipates LEED Platinum certification on two of its buildings, and believes its energy-efficient design will result in some of the lowest Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratings in the Santa Clara market.Silver Lake Partners is a private equity firm that manages more than $14 billion in investments. The company has experience in the data center sector, having led a consortium of firms in acquiring SunGard Data Systems.
