10 (Damn Good) Reasons My Kindergartener Can't Read or Write
September 5, 2012
© Erin Zammett Ruddy
My son did not spend the summer learning to read or write or to add two plus two, tie his shoes or even how to wipe his own butt (we're working on that one). Here's what he learned instead.
Alex starts school today and he is not exactly prepared in the academic sense of the word. I started to feel a little guilty that we're sending our boy into the world without knowing how to recognize some pretty recognizable words like, say, hot (he sounded it out and said, "ha ha jalapeno?").* Alex is a smart kid and I know if we'd really focused on teaching him to read, he'd probably be able to get through a few sentences by now. But Nick and I didn't want to spend the glorious lazy days doing flashcards and writing exercises and ha ha hoting every word in every bedtime book any more than Alex would have wanted to. And I'm cool with our decision to be hands off. Sure, he still writes the e in his name uppercase and with four horizontal lines, but when I think back on all he can do, I know he's going to be just fine—in kindergarten and in life. While we weren't drilling him with "education," Alex picked up so many new and interesting skills this summer. My kindergartener can now:
1. Ride a bike without training wheels.
2. Cast a fishing pole pretty damn far.
3. Catch a fish and release it if it's not a keeper (if it is a keeper, he will help me cook it and eat it too). He also knows which lure goes with which fish.
4. Dive off a diving board (he actually has decent form) and swim all the way to the shallow end.
5. Do a flip off the diving board (he lands on his back but he doesn't seem to mind).
6. Make pesto (seriously, he can do this in his sleep—and he loves to eat it, too…and, bonus, we discovered along the way that he is not allergic to pine nuts).
7. Paddleboard. He's obsessed and quite good—the kid has amazing balance.
8. Kayak. We did this in Michigan and New Hampshire and while he doesn't love it quite as much as paddleboarding (I'm with him on that one), he is comfortable and confident on a skinny plastic boat. He even fished off one with uncle Izzy.
9. Tube—as in hang on for dear life as a boat tows you behind its wake, not tubing out, which he hardly did any of this summer, thankyouverymuch.
10. Grow and harvest tomatoes/cukes/peppers/arugula/kale/beans/zucchini/peas/and, yes, jalapenos. My boy knows his way around a veggie garden and it makes me so proud. Prouder than I'd be if he could write his $&%! name properly? Who knows. Time will tell….
As you can see, Alex had an epic summer of learning but this new knowledge isn't anything that will be on any state-mandated test. It's nothing that's going to get him to the head of his kindergarten class (in fact, almost all of it took place outdoors). That said, it's exactly the kind of stuff I want my kid to know. And I'm glad he learned it all by the time he turned five. Sure, I'd also like him to be able to read and write and add two plus two (it ain't jello, bud) but, as a wise person once told me, that's what kindergarten is for. Good luck to all you back-to-schoolers this week! And, dare I ask, can your kindergarteners read already? If not, what can they do?
*Before I sent him off today, I asked him to look at the word hot and tell me what it was. He sounded it out again and this time he said "ha ha hote?" We're getting there.

Like gasoline, feet must be carefully treated and refined before they can be used to propel automobiles. Amplify your octane with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for $250 toward laser toenail-fungus removal for 1–5 toes
- $79 for $500 toward laser toenail-fungus removal for 6–10 toes
Podiatrists employ a combination of innovative laser technologies such as the GenesisPlus to thwart fungus in all phases of growth. Healthy nails emerge within three–six months, ready to sweep foot-beauty pageants with their photogenic keratin. Cost varies according to severity of fungus and number of toenails treated. With this Groupon, the rate for one to five toenails is $800 (normally $1,050), and the rate for 6 to 10 toenails is $900 (normally $1,400). Read more at Clearnailz's page for Groupon buyers.
Drs. Alan Robbins and Alan Ettinger, take aim at unwelcome nail fungus and yeast with advanced laser technologies. Microscopic fungus, or onychomycosis, causes toenails to become thick, brittle, and discolored, taking all the fun out of sandal wearing and grape stomping. By carefully calibrating laser technologies such as the Noveon NailLaser and GenesisPlus, which boast an 85 percent success rate, the staff restores nails to their former health. After finishing each course of treatment, Clearnailz's podiatry posse furnishes patients with information on long-term foot hygiene and how to prevent future fungus outbreaks.

Immunology and biochemistry; molecular analysis of the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis using a murine model system; design of immunomodulatory drugs.
Research Interests
I have three major projects ongoing in my laboratory.
1) Cytokines in Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies
to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Over the past 20 years, my collaborators
and I have defined the T cell response to the acetylcholine receptor in a murine model
of myasthenia gravis, experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG). Currently
we seek to determine the mechanisms by which factors other than antibody titer affect
disease severity in myasthenia gravis. We are studying the role of the cytokine interleukin
12 (IL-12) in enhancing passive transfer of EAMG. We have shown that interferon gamma
is important in enhancing disease and are determining the source of interferon gamma
and its effects on muscle tissue
2) Glycopeptide-Based Cancer Antigen Vaccines
This project is a collaboration with Dr. Steve Sucheck of the UT Dept.
of Chemistry. We have been studying the immune response of mice to cancer vaccines
containing synthetic cancer glycopeptide antigens with a covalently attached rhamnose
epitope. This is designed to take advantage of anti-rhamnose antibodies that occur
naturally in humans and can be generated in mice. We are developing additional synthetic
vaccines that take advantage of antibody targeting.
3) CD38 and NAD Metabolites in Lymphocyte Signaling
I have a longstanding interest in the role of NAD metabolites in lymphocyte
function. During a sabbatical with Dr. Frances Lund in Rochester, NY in 2010, I began
a study of CD38 and NAD metabolites in T cell function. My lab is continuing a collaboration
with Dr. James Slama to examine the role of NAADP, a newly discovered calcium mobilizing
agent, in lymphocyte signaling and function.

Where I Live - please select your location
Kevin McKinley died after being shot in the street in Dartford
A couple from Dartford have appeared before Medway magistrates charged in connection with the murder of a 32-year-old man.
Michaela Sargeant, of Overy Street, appeared via video link, charged with killing Kevin McKinley in a street shooting last Tuesday night.
Dressed smartly in a white blouse and black cardigan, the 24-year-old clearly gave her name, address and date of birth.
When asked by the chairman of the bench, Angela Jahed, if she understood the proceedings, she replied: "I do."
She was remanded in custody and will appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday.
Lewis Wickenden, 25, of the same address, is charged with possessing a firearm, namely a semi-automatic single-barrel shotgun and possession of ammunition, namely shotgun cartridges, both without firearms certificates.
Wickenden, who appeared in the dock at the Chatham court, also faces a charge of assisting an offender relating to murder.
Wearing a pale blue hoodie, Wickenden did not enter pleas and no application was made for bail.
He will return to magistrates on Friday and a date has been set for a hearing at crown court on March 28.
The defendants, described in court as partners, were dealt with separately.
Father-of- three Mr McKinley, of Louvain Road, Stone, was shot in Fulwich Road, Dartford, at about 8pm on Tuesday.
Another man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender was earlier released without charge.
A second man arrested on suspicion of an assault was also released without charge.
The shooting shocked the community, especially Mr McKinley's uncle - Charles McKinley, from Temple Hill - who wept at the scene the morning after the shotting.
Fighting back tears, he said: "My mum rang me last night and said that he'd been shot.
"I thought she meant with a BB gun, but then I found out he'd actually been shot with a real gun."
Police at the scene of the shooting in Dartford and (below) the scene the following morning
The shooting shocked people living nearby as armed police descended on their neighbourhood.
Officers stood guard throughout the night, with Fulwich Road taped off from the junction with Great Queen Street and Overy Street.
Fulwich Road resident Nicola Daniels, 38, said: "I heard something really loud go off, like a bang, and the dog started barking.
"My neighbour knocked on the door and said there'd been a shooting over the road.
Video: Police at the scene of the shooting in Dartford
"There was an ambulance down there and I saw someone being put into the back.
"The police cordoned off the area. It started getting a bit scary really. One of the officers had a gun and was shouting 'put it down, put it down'."
Cyral Harris, 71, of Merryweather Close, Dartford, said: "I heard the shots and saw someone prostrate on the floor and it's quite shocking to see on such a quiet close.
"I was watching the football when I heard a couple of shots. I thought it was fireworks and this poor young chap was lying on the floor, blood pouring out of him."
Flowers left at the scene of the shooting in Dartford
By mid-morning on Wednesday, friends, family and those who simply wanted to show their respect, had started to turn up bearing flowers and messages of condolence.
Among the messages was one from Mr McKinley's mother, which read: "RIP my baby boy, Kev. From Mum and Andy xxx."
Another said: "RIP Kev boy. You was a diamond geezer. You will be missed by everyone."
The site of the shooting in Dartford
One of Kevin's friends Bradley, 19, who joined other friends in laying flowers at the scene said: "He was liked by a lot of people.
"I've not heard of a shooting in Dartford before.
"Had it been any other kind of fight he would have had a chance of winning but you've got no chance when someone comes at you with a gun."
Police throw cordon around house where Kevin McKinley lived in Stone
Meanwhile, police guarded the house where Kevin lived in Louvain Road, Stone.
A cordon was set up next to the garden wall blocking the path to the house.
Raymond Baker, 55, who lives a few doors away, moved into Louvain Road six or seven years ago and Kevin was already living there.
He said: "I wasn't good friends with him, but knew him well enough to say hello in passing and he always seemed very nice.
"My daughter's boyfriend was friends with him and they got on well.
"There's been quite a few big arguments outside his house with various people and I once saw him get punched in the face, but I know he was a traveller and I never got overly involved.
"Sometimes Kevin would go away for months on end and we wouldn't see him; I never knew where he went.
"We often invited him to barbecues but he never accepted our invitation."

Our ceiling fan light kits are a great way to update the look of older fan designs, or to replace an existing fan light that no longer works. Our collection of fan lights comes in a wide range or styles, from sleek contemporary light kits to more ornate traditional fan light kit designs. Please note that some of these fan light kits cannot be pull chain operated and require the use of a wall control or remote for operation.
Adding light to your existing ceiling fan is as easy as browsing our specially designed light kit selection. When looking to add a new light kit or update an existing kit, remember to look for a fan light that fits the style of your ceiling fan. Make sure that you have proper clearance to install a ceiling fan light in the first place. A ceiling fan should be no lower that seven feet from the floor, and the light kit should not pose a hazard for walking through a room space. It's also a good idea to check that the electrical circuit your fan operates on is able to handle both the fan and the new light. If your circuit will not hold this capacity, you can run a new one from your home's main panel. If you have any doubts, consult with a qualified electrician.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Ceton's My Media Center goes Metro
Subject: Systems | January 23, 2013 - 05:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, ceton, my media center, win8, Metro
Ceton's My Media Center is a replacement interface for Windows Media Center's UI, allowing you to control functions on a device separate from the display which is connected to your WMC. That means that any device running the Metro interface of Win8, which is any flavour of Win8, can be set up to connect to your HTPC and allow you to control WMC even if you are out of the house and it won't interfere with anyone who happens to be using it at the time. The Companion software is loaded onto both the HTPC and the secondary device and with a little configuration, which Missing Remote details here, you will be in full control of WMC from anywhere.
"Earlier today a new Windows 8 "Metro" version of Ceton's suite of applications for managing Windows Media Center joined the existing lineup of Andriod, Windows Phone and iOS companion apps priced at $4.99. As part of this effort they were rebranded from "Ceton Companion Apps" to "My Media Center". All the great functionality for browsing recordings, managing series and scheduling, and browsing the guide is still there, but this time Windows 8 tablet and desktop "Metro" users can also join the party. We had a chance to take an early spin through the updated UI, let's dig in."

Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 10, 2013 - 09:09 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: htpc, HDPLEX, h5.todd, h3.todd, fanless
Custom case manufacture HDPLEX recently introduces two new fanless cases with the H3.TODD and H5.TODD. Both cases support mini-ITX motherboards and would blend well into your home AV rack. The fanless chassis are constructed of 6063T aluminum and come in powder coated black or brushed aluminum silver. The H3.TODD and H5.TODD are cases that also double as CPU heatsinks by way of copper heatpipes that carry heat away from the processor into the aluminum case. Both can support processors up to 75W TPDs without requiring fans.
Both the H3.TODD and H5.TODD are compatible with LGA 775, 1155, and 1156 Intel processors and AMD AM2, AM3, FM1, and FM2 chips. Further, the cases come with a single USB 3.0 port on the front. HDPLEX will also include a power supply and IR reciever with the cases for an additional fee.
The H3.TODD measures 325 x 298 x 60mm and weighs 12.5 lbs (5.5 kg). The case supports mini-ITX motherboards, 3.5" hard drives, and 12.7mm optical drives.
On the other hand, the H5.TODD is a wider case that can support both Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX form factor motherboards as well as a single full height PCI-E expansion card. The case measures 325 x 438 x 60mm and is a total of 16 lbs (7.5kg) by itself.
The H3.TODD is available for pre-order now for $248 while the H5.TODD is currently in stock for $275. Pre-orders for the H3.TODD should being shipping on January 25, 2013.
You can find more photos of the cases on the HDPLEX website.
CES 2013: Intel Announces Three Future NUC Systems, Coming Later This Year
Subject: Systems | January 10, 2013 - 02:06 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: CES, nuc, next unit of computing, Intel, htpc, haswell, core i5, celeron 847, ces 2013
Intel released its first Next Unit of Computing system last year, and it seems that the 4 x 4-inch computer was enough of a success that Intel is ready to introduce new models. The Tech Report managed to talk to Intel on the CES show floor, and the x86 chip-maker is planning as many as three new models for release later this year.
Intel is reportedly planning a cheaper model as well as two higher-performance models. The former is a NUC system that switches out the current-generation's Core i3-3217U processor for a cheaper Celeron 847 chip. While the Core i3-3217U is a dual core part with HyperThreading clocked at 1.8GHz. It is a 22nm, 17W part with 3MB of cache. On the other hand, the Intel Celeron 847 CPU that will allegedly be at the heart of the next NUC is an older 32nm chip with two physical cores, no HyperThreading, 2MB of cache, and a clockspeed of 1.1GHz. It does retain the same 17W TDP, but it is an older and slower part (and cheaper as a result).
This new NUC is said to be available for around $220 with a Thunderbolt port or $190 without Thunderbolt. That makes it as much as $100 cheaper than the current-generation NUC that we reviewed in December 2012.
In addition to the Celeron-powered model, Intel is also ramping up the performance with a Core-i5 powered NUC due in April 2013. There is no word on pricing but it should be available for purchase sometime in April 2013. It will have USB 3.0, triple monitor, and vPro support. The article in question was not clear on whether the Core i5 NUC will keep the Thunderbolt port in addition to USB 3.0 or if it will simply be swapped out. One concern I have is heat as the Core i5 chip will be faster and run hotter than the Core i3-3217U. With the current generation NUC, there were issues of heat that caused the system to hard lock during large file transfers over the network. Granted that particular issue is thought to be caused from heat generated by the NIC and SSD heat causing a component to overheat, but any new/additional heat (like that of a faster CPU) in the same NUC form factor may be problematic. Here's hoping that Intel has found a way to resolve the overheating issue with the new 2013 models.
Finally, Intel is reportedly also planning to release a Haswell-powered processor in Q4 of this year. IT seems that Intel is preparing a trifecta of NUCs aimed at lower cost, higher performance, and higher efficiency (Haswell) respectively.
Are you excited about the Next Unit of Computing form factor?

CES 2013: ASUS Launches Qube With Google TV
Subject: General Tech | January 7, 2013 - 12:55 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: qube, htpc, google tv, ces 2013, CES, asus
In addition to the expected flood of tablets and ultrabooks, ASUS has announced a new cube shaped device–called the ASUS Qube–that runs Google TV. Similar to the Nexus Q without the expensive analog audio hardware, the ASUS Qube is a box that is designed to bring streaming media to your living room. In this case however, the ASUS Qube is running Google TV and is paired with motion, voice, or Android smartphone controls for input.
The Qube can access Netflix, Amazon, and Youtube for video content along with other standard Google TV applications. It can also display a customized TV guide and play games, for example. ASUS has paired the aptly-name Qube with a new interface that displays on screen options in a rotating cube.
To sweeten the deal over other Google TV boxes, ASUS is throwing in 50GB of WebStorage cloud storage space with each Qube.
Unfortunately there is no word on pricing or availability for the ASUS Qube.

Valve and Gabe Newell Confirm Steam Box for Living Room PC Gaming
Subject: General Tech | December 11, 2012 - 01:47 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: valve, steambox, Steam Box, steam, htpc, gaben, Gabe Newell, big picture mode
Well it finally happened this week - Gabe Newell confirmed what we all assumed was going to happen - a Valve software branded and controlled PC for gaming and computing in the living room. We first started grumbling about the "Steam Box" back in March at GDC when Valve announced the Big Picture Mode for Steam and rumors of the hardware platform first began. The next moth, Valve's Doug Lombardi denied the rumors but fell short of saying it wouldn't happen in the future. In September the Big Picture Mode for Steam went into beta bringing the Steam interface into the world of TVs and 10-ft design, followed this year with the full release.
And let's not forget the Linux client beta currently on-going as well as the capability to buy non-gaming software on Steam. Valve has been a busy PC company.
Big Picture Mode was the first necessary step
Based on an interview with Gabe at Kotaku, there are a surprising amount of details about the hardware goals that Valve will set for the "Steam Box" in addition to the simple confirmation that it is a currently running project.
He also expects companies to start selling PC packages for living rooms next year—setups that could consist of computers designed to be hooked up to your TV and run Steam right out of the gate.
HTPC builders have been making "Steam Box" computers for some time...
Interestingly, Valve is saying its contribution will be more tightly controlled than we might have thought:
"Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment," he said. "If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general purpose PC. For people who want a more turnkey solution, that's what some people are really gonna want for their living room.
No time tables were discussed and we are left once again with just a hint of what is to come. I think its pretty obvious based on the direction Valve is going that we are going to see a Linux-based small form factor PC with Steam pre-installed available for consumers in 2013. If Valve starts pushing Linux support as hard as we expect it could mean quite a bit of trauma is ahead for Microsoft in the enthusiast community, one that is already reeling from the problems with Windows 8.
If you were to potentially add to the "Steam Box" a pre-configuration tool like NVIDIA's GeForce Experience that sets game options based on your hardware for you, the PC could easily turn into a solution that is nearly as simple as the console for gamers. And because Steam is already accepting non-games, it won't take much for there to be Netflix and Amazon apps in addition to anything else you currently have running on HTPCs or tablets.
What is a HTPC anyways?

Continuing with our series on Cutting the Cord and building your own HTPC, we move beyond the "Assessment Phase" we discussed in part one and into the realm of actually building your own Home Theater PC with Windows 7 Media Center. In Part 2, we walk through our hardware picks for our HTPC. But before we dive headlong into that, I need to get something off my chest.
My Experience: /rant on. When I first planned to write this article, I thought it would be interesting to write a new HTPC building guide soon after Windows 8 was released in order to spotlight Windows 8 Media Center. While I initially had some concerns with Microsoft's choice of separating Media Center from Windows 8 itself, and some other issues I heard rumor of, my own experience attempting to build a Windows 8 Media Center would push this long time Microsoft fan to the limits. Long story short, I spent nearly two days working up the article and building a Windows 8 Media Center only to come to terms with the fact that Microsoft has so jacked with some of the key features of Media Center in Windows 8 that I can't recommend anyone use it. With that being said, I had to start over from scratch, rebuilding my HTPC with Windows 7 and doing a complete rewrite of the article. I want to thank Microsoft for showing us that they care more about cramming the Metro UI down our throats than they care about the passionate Media Center community that has rallied around and supported them these many years. Anyways, /rant off and back to our previously schedule HTPC building guide.
The market is currently littered with all manners of bringing content to your television set. There are devices that help you manage your current cable/satellite television subscription such as TiVo, Xbox with Verizon FIOS, Xbox with Comcast XFinity, or even the Google TV . There's devices out there that give you access to additional features above and beyond your television viewing such as the Apple TV, the Roku, or the Boxee Box. There's even a slew of "Smart TV's" and Streaming Sticks that will turn any TV into a Smart TV that are loaded with applications to overlay content or get access to other services. For the hardcore DiY crowd, there's also some other options to build your own devices with distributions like MythTV or XBMC (Xbox Media Center).
With so many new boxes, devices and options hitting the street just about every day and it's easy to get lost in the flood of options. Luckily Veronica Belmont's Mega Set Top Box List is still being maintained and has some great information to help you weed through the mess.
With so many options, many of which are $100 or less, you'd think that building a $500-$700 Media Center PC is overkill. Unfortunately many of these devices will not do everything you want them to do and I've not found anything that combines all the capabilities and functions I wanted into a single package as good as Windows Media Center (though the new Boxee TV Box might be a new contender on the block.) Building and running your own Media Center offers the flexibility and power all in one package to meet every scenario you could throw at it. You're not stuck waiting for some developer to get around to writing new firmware or applications to add in support for what you want. If you can View, Read or Watch it on a Windows desktop, then you can most likely get it working directly through Windows Media Center. I still don't understand why Microsoft hasn't licensed or even produced their own device with their excellent Media Center UI.

There was a time in the not too long past that having a Cable or Satellite TV subscription was just a given. Like water, phone or electricity, if you wanted to watch anything other than a few local networks or crazy UHF stations you had to pay your local cable /satellite conglomerate a tidy little sum to pump the channels into your TV.
That's where I was back in January of 2010. Staring at a $150 bill for Time Warner Cable with the "Basic Package + HD" and a pair of TiVo's I began to wonder if I was just wasting money since 80% of our regular viewing consisted of a dozen or so shows scattered across only four or five channels. Within a month, and after some deliberation, we decided we'd try to 'cut the cord' and since that time I've happily saved nearly $5,000 that would have been lining the pockets of some Time Warner/TiVo executives. Ponder that for a moment, $5,000 spent on television. Even after I factor out the cost of hardware I needed to buy and setup, that's enough money to buy a new big screen TV every year and then some.
Regardless of what big cable and satellite companies say, between 2008 and 2011, 2.65 million households dropped cable/satellite subscriptions. A recent survey found that 9 percent of the people surveyed had cancelled their cable subscriptions in the last year and Time Warner Cable alone has had 10 straight quarters of Pay for TV customer losses.
This multipart series on PC Perspective will walk you through the process of becoming a "Cord Cutter" yourself. Starting with some thoughts on whether or not cutting the cable is right for you we'll walk you through everything from start to finish.

- Cutting the Cord Part 3: Building your HTPC – OS Install and Tuning
- Cutting the Cord Part 4: Building your HTPC – Installing and Configuring Windows Media Center
- Cutting the Cord Part 5: Wrap up - Media Center Add-ons and Options
I'll also include a few little personal tidbits from My Experiences in my quest to cut the cord and stay that way for the last few years.
To Cut, or Not to Cut, That is the Question…
While dropping your cable or satellite subscription can save you some serious money, it's not for everyone. Television is a central part of the entertainment for many households, and you need to look at it from all angles before you call your provider and tell them you want out. Cutting the cord may require some concessions and serious changes to the way you get your television content. While you might not mind some inconvenience, your significant other or children may have a meltdown if they can't get their regular fix of Honey Boo Boo or Yo Gabba Gabba the moment it's aired.
Regardless, with some consideration and pre-work you can determine if cutting the cord is right for you and make the transition nice and smooth if you decide to kick your cable or satellite provider to the curb.
If you're willing to take that chance, read on to see if Cord Cutting is for you!
XBMC 12 Beta Now Live, Brings Several Improvements
Subject: General Tech | November 18, 2012 - 07:27 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xbmc 12, xbmc, Media Center, htpc, frodo
A new version of XBMC recently became available on the developer's website. After eight months, XBMC version 12 "Frodo" is now in beta, and it brings several improvements over previous iterations of the media center software.
The XBMC 12 beta is available to download for Windows, Linux, OSX, Raspberry Pi, iOS, and AppleTV2. The beta is also rolled into a customized Ubuntu-based Linux distribution called XBMCbuntu which comes as an .iso image download. New features in the XBMC beta include:
HD audio support via the new XBMC AudioEngine:
- DTS-MA and Dolby True-HD
- Live TV and PVR support
- h.264 10bit (aka Hi10P) video software for decoding anime
- 64-bit version for OSX
- Improved image support and additional formats
- Raspberry Pi support
- Initial Android platform support
- Improved Airplay support across all platforms
- Advanced Filtering in the library
- Advanced UPnP sharing
- Translations now powered by Transifex
In addition, the user interface and software startup feels snappier from my informal testing. After loading up my video and music folders, it worked without issues or crashes. XBMC does note that this is still beta software, so it is not advisable to use in a production environment. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try out the live TV functionality.
You can grab the new beta from the XBMC.org website.
Have you tried the new XBMC 12 beta?
Lenovo Launches IdeaCentre Q190 SFF PC
Subject: Systems | November 17, 2012 - 03:59 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, PC, Lenovo, ideacentre q190, htpc
Lenovo recently launched a new small form factor PC with the IdeaCentre Q190. This small desktop measures 192mm x 155mm x 22mm and packs some hardware punch that handily surpasses the specs of traditional net-top computers. Exact hardware specifications have not yet been released, but the company has talked about the top-end model.
The IdeaCentre Q190 PC will have up to a 2nd generation Core i3 Intel Sandy Bridge processor, 8GB DDR3 memory, HD3000 integrated (processor) graphics, a 1TB hard drive, and a 24GB caching SSD. These specifications are, of course, for the top end model.
The IdeaCentre Q190 with the optional optical drive attached.
In addition, the Q190 can support a DVD writer or Blu ray optical drive that mounts on top of the PC, which adds a bit of depth but can still be mounted vertically with the supplied stand. Other optional accessories include a handheld wireless keyboard and mouse trackpad.
External IO includes an SDXC card reader, S/PDIF optical audio port, VGA video output, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, and a Gigabit Ethernet jack.
The Q190 will come preloaded with Windows 8, and an option for Windows 8 Pro. Lenovo is pushing the HTPC merits of the computer, and it will certainly do a serviceable job. It would also make for a nice low-power desktop system as well, and it looks nice enough to display on your desk.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 will be available in January 2013 and will have a starting price of $349, with the top end model described above costing a bit more (the exact amount is as yet unknown).
Zotac Updates ZBOX AD06 With New AMD APU
Subject: Systems | November 7, 2012 - 05:04 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, zbox ad06, zbox, SFF, htpc, barebones, APU, amd
Zotac has updated its small form factor ZBOX AD06 PC with a new AMD Accelerated Processing Unit that features a faster GPU portion and a dual core Zacate CPU that Zotac claims offers up to a 10% boost in performance versus the previous ZBOX.
On the outside, the ZBOX AD06 is approximately the size of a Mini-ITX motherboard, comes with a bundled VESA75/100 mount (to attach it to the back of your monitor), and features a number of ports. Internally, the ZBOX AD06 features an AMD E2-1800 APU with two CPU cores at 1.7GHz and a Radeon HD 7340 GPU. The "Plus" version bundles in 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 320GB hard drive, otherwise it is very much a bare-bones system that allows you to add your own storage.
External ports and connectivity options include:
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 1 x SD card reader
- 2 x analog audio jacks
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x S/PDIF optical audio output
- 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 4.0
The Zotac AD06 also features a bundled media center remote that will work with Windows Media Center or XBMC. And thanks to the more powerful APU, it should work well as a low-cost home theater PC. Unfortuantely, there is no word on pricing or when the AD06 or AD06 Plus will be available for purchase.
You can find the full press release below.

Brother of Syrian parliament speaker slain
BEIRUT — Gunmen killed the brother of Syria's parliament speaker in a hail of bullets as he drove to work in Damascus on Tuesday, the state news agency said, as the international envoy for Syria warned the country could become another Somalia.
Mohammed Osama Laham, the brother of Parliament Speaker Jihad Laham, became the latest victim of a wave of assassinations targeting Syrian officials, army officers and other prominent supporters of President Bashar Assad's regime. Four of the leader's top security officials were killed in a rebel bombing on the state security headquarters in Damascus in July.

Lots of news as the inactives are passed out:
- Cross Chris Kuper off the list of possibilities on the offensive line today; he is once again inactive. Meanwhile, tackle Adam Meadows — signed in the preseason to bolster depth at the position — is among the 45 active players for the first time this season. Erik Pears, last week's left-tackle fill-in, is also active.
- No Bob Sanders for Indy; he's out. Former Michigan standout Marlin Jackson will shift over from cornerback to take his place. Dylan Gandy will also replace Ryan Lilja at left guard for the Colts.
- Defensive tackle Gerard Warren will not play, one week after spraining his right big toe at Cleveland. He practiced Friday, but ultimately the Broncos opted to hold him out. Demetrin Veal played in his place last week and also handled those duties in the preseason when Warren dislocated his left big toe.
- Kickoff returner Quincy Morgan is inactive after handling those duties for the past four games. Meanwhile, rookie Brian Clark — promoted from the practice squad six days ago — is among the active players. Clark was the Broncos' leading kickoff returner in the preseason.
- Denver's other inactive players include wide receiver Todd Devoe, safety Hamza Abdullah, linebacker Nate Webster and tight end Nate Jackson.
- The Broncos are back to their usual home uniforms — blue jerseys with white pants, last seen during the 9-6 win over Kansas City on Sept. 17.

- Bodega Colome Amalaya 2010: "There is an inner tension to this wine manifest in its red fruit and acidity, in a prickle on the tongue and a crispness to the fruit.

SEAT TIMEModerator: Team Cub

SEAT TIMEI got Ugly out of the shed and into the shop for annual maintenance. Started right up without a jump. Since she still had cultivators on I decided to test the corn patch. Moist but not clumping. Put on the disc and started in the corn. Two hours later the ground was turned and the cover all but gone. When I put Ugly to bed I think she winked at me. Spring really coming.

Re: SEAT TIMEDan- sounds like your ground is already dryer than mine was all of last year. Glad to hear you got seat time. I just did get my snow plow on and used for the 1st time. Greg
Re: SEAT TIMESnow is a great thing you can plow it anytime and it goes away. Unlike dirt which has to be turned at just the right time. Maybe that white stuff does have merit.

Re: SEAT TIMESounds good Dan. If you tried that here about 3 days ago they would have just skated across the frozen ground and snow. Now, the cub would be axle deep in mud.

After replacing rotted siding, calking and weatherstripping, almost one year to the date and $5000 later, it has become clear once again...the windows are leaking. The rep that represents the local installer for Windsor says he just can't understand how its happening! Estimated cost to repair upwards of $10,000...and Windsor says they are acting out of "good will" by selling the replacement windows at cost! At $10,000 it just may be time to give that money to an attorney!
