Samuel Adams Oktoberfest: Out at a restaurant, I tried a bottle of Samuel Adams Oktoberfest. This beer had a translucent brown color, and thin off-white head which faded quickly. Not much carbonation. The aroma was pure roast malt. And so was the flavor, big and malty. Good, but not much complexity. Overall, I was hoping for more. And yes, I saw that it got a bronze medal in the 2011 GABF German-Style Marzen category.

Appearance Nice, light orange body with a big head that held on long and laced the glass.
Smell Lightly toasted malt in accordance with the style.
Taste Smooth, creamy, lightly burnt malt flavor. Theres a little caramel touch at the end, but mostly just the smooth, easy, malt taste. Excellent rendition of the style.
Mouthfeel No carbonation and very creamy.
Drinkability This went down quickly, which is the telltale sign of a good Oktoberfest beer. When I lived in Germany, I used to drink these warm on tap (the bartender would warm it with a heated tool dunked in the beer specifically for that purpose), and they would often go down after just three or four gulps. I wasnt trying to chug the mug, but they were just that smooth.
Comments I drank this at room temperature, and it was very reminiscent of the Oktoberfest beers that I had in Germany. Excellent example of the style.

A: Amber color with a medium-sized off-white head that leaves some lacings.
S: Malts, fudge, lots of bready aromas, floral and leafy hop notes.
T: The taste is somewhat sweet with notes of bready malts, fudge, grains and floral hop notes. Some earthy hints as well. The finish is gently bitter with notes of grainy malts and leafy hops.
M: Moderate body, medium carbonation.
D: A decent beer. Quite tasty and easy to drink. Not the most interesting style, though.

First Octoberfest of the year for me. Appearance is deep copper, with a white frothy head. Smells of malt and very light hops. Taste is a bit watery, but very balanced in flavor. Caramel and malty with a subtle spiciness. ABV is okay @ 5.7%.
Overall, this one leaves a little something to be desired. It seems like SA Octoberfest is a year-to-year thing, sometimes hit or miss. You can always count on this one for a good session beer for the season, though not my favorite by far. I'm a hops guy.

Probably my favorite of the Sam Adams line. This beer has a light, clear brownish-amber color with little head. The aroma is all malt, mostly caramel. The body has a load of malty goodness, again caramel, and a small but significant underlying bitterness to balance. It is easy to drink and generally enjoyable.

This is the 2009 offering. Pouring into the perfect pint showed a dark orange-amber body with a rocky off-white head. Aroma is mainly sticky-sweet malts. Medium bodied with big toasted and caramel malt flavors and a hint of spice in the sweet finish. No hops detected anywhere. Overall a pretty good beer.

A Kentucky native working at the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard where a gunman killed 12 people Monday credits a mountain of paperwork for his own survival.
Earl "Larry" Lovings said he had just sat down at his desk in the shipyard's Building 201 on Monday morning when an armed shooter entered Building 197, just 200 feet away. If not for the backlog of work at his desk, Lovings said he might have been in the building at the time.
"I usually go in and out of that building three or four times a day," said Lovings, a native of Madison County, Ky.
The shooter, identified by federal law enforcement officials as 34-year-old Aaron Alexis, was reported to be a contractor doing computer work for the Navy. He was shot to death in a gun battle with police after killing 12 people and wounding eight others, authorities said.
A former Navy service member, Lovings said he and others in his building tried to keep as quiet as possible and moved to two rooms for safety. From there, he had a bird's eye view of what was happening nearby.
"I saw one person, who had been injured themselves, bring two other injured people to the roof of the building (197)," Lovings said. "The Capitol Police helicopter, with a police sniper, landed and took them away."
He then described how law enforcement officers landed on and secured the roof of the building, effectively sealing the gunman inside. Once all possible exits from the building were guarded, Lovings said an "alphabet soup" of federal agencies, including the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI, entered 197 to evacuate the building and search for the shooter.
Lovings said the he and others at the yard were stunned by the massacre.
"We were all just in shock that this was someone who had access (to the facility)," he said. "Could we have prevented it? Maybe, maybe not. Naval Sea System Command lost 12 men and women to a senseless act of violence."
Details for this story were reported by The Richmond (Ky.) Register.

Snyder signs laws protecting gun owners' privacy
June 25, 2014 | AP
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed laws exempting gun records from the state's Freedom of Information Act.
The legislation signed Tuesday codifies a 1999 Michigan Supreme Court decision that found disclosure of gun registry records to be an invasion of privacy. The information will still be available to law enforcement officials for certain purposes, though there are new restrictions on when police can access the records.
A log of who accessed the records and the reason for doing so also is now required by the new laws.
Michigan lawmakers introduced the legislation backed by the National Rifle Association after a New York newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owners in two counties in 2012.

Bruxism is chronic, involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth. It usually occurs during sleep, but it may also occur while awake.
The exact cause of bruxism is unknown, but it is believed to be related to:
- Stress and anxiety
- Abnormal alignment of the teeth or jaws
Risk Factors
Risk factors that increase your chance of getting bruxism include:
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Aggressive or competitive personality
- Smoking tobacco or drinking caffeinated beverages
- Abuse of drugs or alcohol (especially methamphetamines)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Age: 40 or younger; especially common in women aged 27-40
- Family member with bruxism
- Facial or oral trauma
- Use of psychiatric medications, especially antidepressants
- Prior serious head injury
- Complication resulting from a disorder, such as Huntington's disease or Parkinson's disease
Symptoms may include:
- Grinding sounds during sleep
- Teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, or brushing
- Tense facial or jaw muscles
- Teeth that are worn down, flattened, fractured or chipped
- Hairline cracks or wearing of the enamel on some teeth
- Sore teeth
- Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis)
- Headache, especially when waking in the morning
- Damage to the inside of the cheek (from biting or chewing)
- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD)
The doctor or dentist will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An examination of your teeth and jaw will be done. With bruxism, teeth will have flattened tips, excessive wear, thin enamel, or sensitivity. X-rays may be done to check for further damage to your teeth or the underlying bone.
Methods of treatment include:
Behavioral or Cognitive Treatment
This method focuses on changing behavior through various techniques, such as:
- Biofeedback
- Stress management
- Relaxation therapy or exercises
Orthodontic Treatment
Your dentist may recommend:
- A protective mouth appliance, such as a night guard. It can absorb the pressure of constant night grinding.
- Correction of misaligned teeth if your bruxism might be caused by this.
Medication is only recommended for short-term use. Medications may include:
- Muscle relaxants before sleep
- Mild sleeping aids
- Injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) in severe cases if other treatment not working
Bruxism that is not treated may result in gum damage, tooth loss, and jaw-related disorders.
The same methods used to treat bruxism can be used to prevent the condition.
Avoid caffeine drinks in the evening
Make sure to see your dentist regularly for check-ups

Responding to the modern dream for clean sophisticated design and bright open spaces.
The Mima House is a 387 square foot prefabricated house in Portugal. Designed by Mima Architects, it has a modular structure and can be divided into rooms with a grid of removable partitions. Each side of internal and external walls can have a different color/finishing, which allows a dramatic change through a simple wall rotation.
It costs about the same price to manufacture as a family car. Mima architects researched for years to be able to put together a single home that was fast to produce, flexible, light and inexpensive, yet was a good quality product wrapped up with a pleasant clean design. Fundamentally inspired on the traditional Japanese house, the perfect paradigm for lightness, flexibility, comfort and pleasing lines.
Plywood panels transform the windows into walls to create privacy where necessary.
Despite its standardized construction methods, these houses can be customized in so many parameters, that you'll hardly see two equal houses.
Fundamentally inspired on the traditional Japanese house, the perfect paradigm for lightness, flexibility, comfort and pleasing lines.
The restrained order of its standardized building parts appealed to MIMA architects as the hallmark of a deeply rooted culture, confirmed over centuries and easily adaptable to any new development.

A mostly white interior palette gets dramatic with tasteful black accents and carefully curated pops of color. This is an incredibly well designed 500 square feet of space and although the original open plan was sacrificed for a large wall of closets that extends in to the living room, the apartment is practical and functional beyond its tiny footprint. This New York apartment is modern in design, but has a richly curated and well traveled worldly feel with its blend of patterned textiles and unique accessories.

Hope you all had an amazing Labor Day Weekend! Many of us spend so much of our time working and not enough time playing so I hope you had a chance to relax, enjoy family and loved ones. The best long weekends are when you can be at peace with nature and your surroundings.
Rewarding yourself is sure to keep your energy flowing. How will you reward yourself this fall?
A trip to the picturesque Ram's Gate Winery in Sonoma seems like a perfect reward! "In a world obsessed with making things faster, where speed is valued above all else, Ram's Gate is our way of pressing pause."
The architecture is a modern interpretation of it's natural surroundings and weathered farmsteads of Carneros, while the interior is an eclectic mix of classic contemporary and urban cool.
Designer, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy did no wrong here and created something exciting at every turn. The interiors were designed with close attention to detail, from the open beam ceiling, the reclaimed wood walls, and the natural stone tops to the mill-work. Large glass pendant lights work great in open spaces because they make a gorgeous statement without cluttering the space.
Clusters of seating create intimate environments. Low coffee tables are always great for casually seating spaces.
The large island in this modern kitchen creates a perfect area for serving and gathering.
Can't you just feel the calmness of Ram's Gate Winery through these photos? What a serene setting!

Exposed brick walls are something everyone loves to have in their lives. Just think about how warm and cozy they make you feel, the stories they tell, and how naturally beautiful they are in their raw form. They really do have the best personality and I've got proof.
I would love to cook up some old world italian cuisine in this industrial kitchen and tell stories about our travels through Tuscany.
The guests can stay in this room curated with pieces from travels around the world.
The brick reveals layers of history as it's exposed from beneath the plaster. The modern elements create a perfect juxtaposition.
Industrial dining at it's finest. It feels like a restaurant in the middle of your home! I love the contemporary chandelier design above the table.
Who wouldn't want to study in this library for hours and hours?! Oh the places you would go and things you would learn!
Working late hours in this office wouldn't seem like that big of a deal I don't suppose.
Moving into the garage couldn't be better!
Painted brick and cozy eclectic furniture truly make this room a conversation piece, with a modern pendant light above.
When you want your brick to be more you...just paint it pink!
Or seafoam green!
At this current time my fascination is with white brick walls! And... I've found a product that would allow every single one of us to have a brick wall! There is a new product on the market called Panel Piedra that comes in approx. 3' x 4' panels that can easily be installed over any wall. My white brick wall would need to be surrounded by natural woods, steel, bright colors, bold patterns, and soft organic shapes. It would look a little something like this...
1. Piquito 11" High Black Mini Pendant Light 2. Arteriors Home Linden Tripod Wood Floor Lamp 3. Laguna Sahara Club Chair 4. Knibb Design Dining Table 5. Helen Frankenthaler "Pranzo Italiano" 6. Panel Piedra Brick 7. Vintage Rug 8. Raw Wood Turntable

BOSTON — Federal investigators reported Wednesday they have viewed video of a possible suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings that shows the person totting a heavy black bag into the finish line area and perhaps dropping it there.
They said they were close to identifying the individual but firmly denied media reports that they had made an arrest. The video apparently shows the bag at the site of the explosion that occurred 12 seconds after the first bomb went off. Three people were killed and 176 injured.
Based on remnants of the bombs at the crime scene, officials said the explosives appeared to have been hidden in black duffel bags or backpacks, and left about 100 yards apart in the areas cordoned off for spectators.
They said the bombs were comprised of nails, ball bearings and other small metal objects sealed in common kitchen pressure cookers that were either timed to explode or remotely detonated. Once they discharged, the encased projectiles sprayed scores of people, causing death, loss of limbs and many other major injuries.
A spokesman for Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said that a surveillance camera at the Lord & Taylor department store across from the second bomb site was the "best source of video so far" in identifying who perpertrated the carnage. But officials would not say if that was the video that contained the image of the possible bag-carrying suspect.
Investigators have pored, frame-by-frame, through hundreds of photos and video taken by security cameras, television stations and spectators since the bombings Monday afternoon that President Obama called an "act of terrorism."
Obama will attend a special interfaith prayer service for the victims at 11 a.m. Thursday at Boston's Cathedral of the Holy Cross. It will be the fourth time in the past several months he has been present for such an event, the most recent being the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.

- Turner's clutch hit comes with pink bat
- Davis, Niese latest Mets players stricken with flu
- Dickey in line for next start despite HBP
- Lefty Byrdak a busy man in Mets' bullpen
- Worth noting
MIAMI -- The Mets were up five runs when David Wright came to the plate in the ninth inning Saturday, in a game that was already nearly 3 1/2 hours long. It did not matter. Wright concentrated and squared up a pitch from Marlins reliever Steve Cishek, punching it into right field for an RBI single.
"The one thing I really like about him is each at-bat means something," manager Terry Collins said. "It seems like there's a purpose to every time he goes to home plate, so therefore, he's really got to focus on the at-bat itself. I think he's done a remarkable job. When you're playing every day, it's human nature to give up an at-bat every once in a while, due to the score of a game or whatever it might be. And he does not do that."
The results have been staggering. Wright entered Sunday's play leading the Majors with a .402 average, the second-highest mark of any Mets player in history through May 12 of a season. And he has done it in large part thanks to his willingness to drive balls to the opposite field.
"It's what he did this winter," Collins said. "I think it's the fact that he changed his swing a little bit. He's getting base hits to right field, so when he gets deep into the count, he's not afraid to take a single, go the other way with something, and I think that's really made a difference in him.
"He got to be a star by going to right-center field, which he's doing again."
Turner's clutch hit comes with pink bat
MIAMI -- Justin Turner had only one opportunity to use his pink bat on Mother's Day. He more than took advantage of it.
Turner hit a pinch-hit, two-run double to give the Mets a lead in the ninth inning Sunday, nearly winning the game with his pink lumber. That the Mets ultimately fell, 8-4, to the Marlins did not diminish Turner's contribution.
The pinch-hitter's seven-pitch at-bat came less than three weeks after he worked a 13-pitch, game-tying walk against Marlins closer Heath Bell at Citi Field. This time, Turner blasted Bell's seventh pitch to right field for a two-run double.
"It wasn't too long ago, so it was still pretty fresh in my mind," Turner said of his previous meeting with Bell. "I feel pretty comfortable in the box up there against him."
Turner was one of several Mets players who used pink bats Sunday as part of baseball's Mother's Day "Going to Bat" against breast cancer program. David Wright and Kirk Nieuwenhuis also swung pink lumber for the Mets, with other players wearing pink wristbands and starting pitcher Jon Niese sporting pink cleats on the mound.
The game-used bats are now available on MLB.com, with proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Davis, Niese latest Mets players stricken with flu
MIAMI -- Mets first baseman Ike Davis was a late scratch from Sunday's game with flu-like symptoms, which he attributed to a possible case of food poisoning. Jordany Valdespin replaced Davis in the lineup, playing second base, with regular second baseman Daniel Murphy shifting over to first. It marked Murphy's first appearance of the season at first base.
Starting pitcher Jon Niese also battled flu-like symptoms on the mound, and third-base coach Tim Teufel skipped Sunday's game with the flu. Bench coach Bob Geren filled in for Teufel in the coaching box.
Davis, Niese and Teufel became the latest victims of a bug that has claimed several Mets players in recent weeks. Outfielder Lucas Duda missed three games and lost 10 pounds earlier this month with the flu, catcher Mike Nickeas was so sick one day that he could not report to the ballpark, and pitcher Chris Schwinden also battled through illness while he was with the team.
Davis was finally starting to heat up at the plate, hitting two home runs in two games before an 0-for-5 performance Saturday. He is hitting .174 overall with five homers and 13 RBIs in 33 games, after making an unsuccessful pinch-hit appearance Sunday.
Niese, meanwhile labored through six innings, sweating through his jersey despite Marlins Park's climate-controlled atmosphere.
"I wasn't vomiting at all, but just kind of a runny nose, sore throat, body aches," Niese said. "I broke out in fever the last couple nights. You just fight through it."
Dickey in line for next start despite HBP
MIAMI -- R.A. Dickey reported no ill effects the day after being hit by a pitch in the right arm Saturday, and he is in line to make his next start Thursday against the Reds.
"I talked to him at length yesterday afternoon after the game," manager Terry Collins said Sunday. "He said it was fine. He iced it and things were good."
Showing off a bright red imprint of the baseball's stitching on the inside of his right wrist, Dickey was unconcerned about the injury after Saturday's game. Marlins pitcher Ricky Nolasco struck him during the knuckleballer's at-bat in the fifth, but Dickey remained in the game to pitch two more innings. He ultimately left after experiencing some tightness.
Dickey is off to a 5-1 start with a 3.65 ERA in seven starts.
Lefty Byrdak a busy man in Mets' bullpen
MIAMI -- Left-handed specialist Tim Byrdak entered Sunday's play with 20 appearances in the Mets' first 33 games, two more than any other pitcher in baseball. He had pitched in six straight games and was on pace for 98 appearances, which would shatter Pedro Feliciano's franchise record of 92 and rank second in Major League history.
Manager Terry Collins attributed Byrdak's frequency of use to his improved ability to prepare for outings, though even Collins acknowledged that "there's probably a limit."
Still, it is tempting for the manager to use his only left-handed reliever on a daily basis. Outside of the grand slam he served up to Todd Helton in Colorado last month, Byrdak has been nearly untouchable, posting a 3.48 ERA and holding left-handed batters to a .143 average.
"He's got nerves of steel," Collins said. "He's done it long enough now that he knows what his role is. There are times when we'll call down and he's already gotten himself ready to face who we think he's going to have to face before the game starts. He knows there's somebody in that lineup who he's going to get out. He prepares himself very, very well."
Worth noting
The Mets plan to reexamine outfielder Jason Bay this week at Citi Field. Bay has been limited to riding a stationary bike since landing on the disabled list April 24 with a fractured left rib.
Shortstop Ruben Tejada is receiving treatment for his strained right quad in Port St. Lucie, Fla., but has not begun baseball activities. Tejada is not eligible to come off the DL until May 22.
Collins has begun mapping out days off for Wright, Daniel Murphy and his other regulars during the team's current stretch of 20 games in 20 days. Collins plans to give all his starting players at least one day of rest during this stretch, with the first of those likely coming this week at Citi Field.

Obama to announce nominee for FCC
(CNN) -- President Barack Obama will announce Wednesday he's nominating Tom Wheeler, a top fundraiser for the president's re-election campaign, to head the Federal Communications Commission, according to a White House official.
Until he's confirmed, Mignon Clyburn, a member of the commission, will serve as acting chair.
The official described Wheeler as an experienced leader in the communications technology field "who shares the President's commitment to protecting consumers, promoting innovation, enhancing competition and encouraging investment."
Wheeler has been the managing director of Core Capital Partners, a venture capital firm, since 2005. According to his biographical page on the company's website, Wheeler founded multiple companies offering cable, wireless and video communications services.
"Wheeler has spent more than three decades working at the forefront of telecommunications policy and business development," the White House official said. "As a policy expert, he has been intimately involved in the development of the government's telecommunications policy at both the legislative and regulatory level."
In 2009, he led the Obama-Biden transition group in charge of transitions for the science, technology, space and arts agencies. Obama also appointed Wheeler to the president's Intelligence Advisory Board. And he was appointed a trustee of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
If confirmed, Wheeler will succeed Democrat Julius Genachowski, who became chairman in 2009.

*Next Week's Sneak Peak*All they showed was Andrea striking up a relationship with the Governor. If you've been watching the show, you've probably seen this coming a mile away, but it looks like they are taking the next step in their relationship.
Doesn't the Gov already have a love interest? I remember one scene where, as he was leaving his place, he looked back at the naked (but strategically covered) girl still asleep in bed.
Some people hated the Mist, thought it was a good one personally. Quite a few characters from that movie in the Walking Dead. Frank Darabont, a writer, producer, and director in the Mist is the probable connection for why we have three characters who are virtually the same in the Walking Dead as they were in the Mist. Cool stuff.I watched "The Talking Dead" and didn't realize what was being suggested when I had first watched this last episode.*Spoiler*Apparently, that Zombie that Rick stabs in the gut was implied to have eaten Laurie. I don't know how I didn't put that together. There was supposedly the bullet fragment on the ground and Laurie's hair, neither of which I saw in the first time watching. The show's director elaborated on this during "The Talking Dead".There was a scene that was cut out where Maggie who was riding the motorcycle with Daryl strike up a conversation about everything and Daryl talks about losing Carol. The Director said it was a very strong scene that he was upset was cut out. He believes the footage may surface via DVD or something, but again, said it was an important part that was unfortunately left out.The gladiator fight scene in the town, the actor's did their own stunts.The vote this week was, "Should the team have killed all of the prisoners on sight in the last episode?". What do you guys think, approximately 62% said No.*Next Week's Sneak Peak*All they showed was Andrea striking up a relationship with the Governor. If you've been watching the show, you've probably seen this coming a mile away, but it looks like they are taking the next step in their relationship.
Oh damn. You totally ruined the believability of the zombie Apocalypse show!
It was a misstep trying to have the correlation of Lori's body missing and somehow fully consumed by the walker. It was 'nt handled well even if I got the inference. The same with Carol. They just kinda glossed her death over.
As far as Lory's remains completely fitting inside the zombies stomach....I wouldn't get to caught up on what's really feasible and what isn't. I mean in reality all the zombies' teeth would have rotted and fallen out by now so they couldn't even bite anyone. They'd just we gumming you at this point!

Chris Dopp By Beverly Chandler, Opalesque London:
Delegates at the Opalesque 2013 West Coast Roundtable, sponsored by Sunrise Capital, The California Hedge Fund Association, Eurex and
Taussig Capital discussed the problems facing emerging managers in the current economic climate.
Chris Dopp, Senior Vice President, Eurex explained that from his vantage point of speaking with both fund managers and institutions, he recognised the difficulties smaller and emerging managers face in raising assets. "The institutionalization
of the investor base favors the largest fund managers as most pensions, for example, cannot represent more than
10% of a funds total assets. With allocations getting larger, that rules out most managers under $1bn in AUM" he said.
"As an illustration, total AUM in the managed futures industry is now almost $340bn, making it the
largest single strategy in hedge fund space. Yet, 65% of all assets are managed by the 35 largest
CTAs and the remaining 35% managed by over 900 CTAs. Over the past five years, the imbalance
has grown."
Dopp said that he didnt know what the catalyst would be, but ......................

Post subject: What Distro for a Laptop? Update
As some of you may be aware I posted a topic on the Help Forum with the title "What Distro for a Laptop?"
I said that I would post an update after a week trialing Kubuntu.
Well I didn't last a week.
As I've been off work I've been able to try it for more than a couple of hours a day and I'm now less impressed than was initially
I'm now going to put on my asbestos suit.
Afraid I went back to XP.
The following are only my thoughts and apply only to my experience of things. This is not a critique of either Kubuntu or Linux per se.
My initial feelings were quite good. A distro that configured my WiFi card and looked reasonably OK. It even installed faster than XP + patches+ Software. many of the apps are very good. I have been using Gaim and Abiword under Windows for ages now so there was no problem using them.
The problems occured when trying to get things to work the way I am used to.
I got my bluetooth dongle to install OK, I even managed to get visibility of my mobile. However even after much Googling I could not get it to synchronise with either Kontact or Evolution. Sorry but on a Mac you pair the device and then press a button in iSync. Even Windows is relatively easy.
I have my collection od MP3's on an external hardrive attached to my iMac. Under Windows I use iTunes to stream the music to my laptop. Unfortunately that's not an option with Linux, there's no iTunes client. Even when I tried copying some files to my Mac's hardrive I had no joy. Juk said that it would only play local files and Amarok would not add network shares to it's collection. By the way when on the interface side they should be called Dyson and Hoover. I know its not open source but the iTunes interface is a model for how things should be done.
Now it may be possible to sort out some of these issues but I just want to use my laptop, not spend hours or days trying to get trivial things to work. I realise that some of this is down to other companies not being open about specs etc but that doesn't help me.
I had hoped that maybe things had moved on in the WYSIWIG web editor stakes. I keep seeing things said about NVU. Yes thingsare better than the last time I looked at them but I still want Dreamweaver. Yep, people are going to say "it's better to code by hand", fair enough but I prefer Dreamweaver, simple as that.
So it looks like I'm back to my old setup.
Desktop = OS X
Laptop = XP
Firewall/Gateway = Linux
Mucking about with box = possibly FreeBSD when I can get a new hardrive.
I know folk will disagree, but for me Linux works as a server OS not a desktop/laptop one.
I suppose I'd better duck now and get out of the way of "incoming"

I think you have made some very interesting observations. I still feel that the individuals that make up the linux community are different to the wider community. Your average person wants to purchase a product that will accomplish various tasks and just use it. Linux folk are prepared to make an effort and spend some time creating the product themselves. This is fine if you are that way inclined and enjoy that sort of a challenge.
It strikes me that you do fit the "linux profile" BUT even with the effort having been applied the product cannot deliver in line with the users expectations. And there lies the problem with the linux desktop - until it can do ALL those things that the MAC and Windows can do, whatever the excuses, only the really dedicated are going to persevere.
I enjoy a challenge

I don't know if that will help you at all, but with Kubuntu/Ubuntu you can use the Synaptic package manager, add the universal packages, which should help.
Check this out on the Ubuntu forum, I guess some people have had luck with Amarok and Kubuntu, it seems you just have to add /mnt/ipod it will transfer the songs.
Hope that helps!

Fraid not. The O'reilly link is for streaming from a *nix box to a Mac. I'm trying to do the opposite.
As I said I tried Amarok but that didn't work.
Even if I decided to try again it would be to no avail. I discovered that the WiFi "blackspots were down the the Netgear card. It is a bit old and I got it from a mate. I put in my other card and all the problems disappeared. It's a Dlink card and not supported. I did try using Ndis wrappers once on SuSE and got nowhere. Might have been me might have been the card. The bottom line is, I just want to use my laptop. I've spent quite a bit of time on this "project" and have decided to call it a day.
Now to see if I can get Wordpress running on the Gateway and openXchange working on the other box (got a loan of a replacement hard drive)

I play my MP3's over the network through amarok, via a smb share on the server mounted locally, works well.
WinXP will of course be a better platform depending on what your doing, but personally I couldn't use anything other than linux when it comes to a lot of media jobs.
I use Amarok and kaffeine. Kaffeine in particular works well at streaming media across a network, I use it to sream dvb signals. I tried using the official hauppage software on WinXP, but OMG its horrible, possibly the worst software I've EVER used. Kaffeine on the other hand is far better.

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: What Distro for a Laptop? Update
Being a business laptop and the business I am in being Linux hosting/ISP it is much easier / faster to do my work on Linux. I have tried several distros but always keep going back to Fedora. It works with MP3s / radio (beep), WMAs / DVDs (MPlayer), every multimedia type I need and it is perfect for ssh tunnels, php scripting, etc...
I find it hard to use a Windows machine nowadays and try to avoid them as much as possible. I use this laptop for up to 10 hours a day, I have never had any problems.

Thanks for all the comments but as you can see above I've given up on Linux on the laptop. All the solutions have from my point of view their minuses. Either it's not what I need or there's a lot of fscking around. I haven't got the time or inclination to bother with that. I just want to use my laptop.
To be brutally honest I have to say that the various media players I tried should be (as I hinted earlier) be renamed Dyson Hoover etc as regards the GU/design. (Think about it
). None of them come near the standard set by iTunes. I know that you can run iTunes under Crossover Office however
1. I spent the money more usefully on a copy of Dreamweaver from Ebay
2. Running a Windows port of an Apple program on Linux???
BTW regarding the new projects
1. Wordpress is up and running on the Gateway. Very nice, I'm well impressed.
2. openXchange on the other box is having to wait as I'm playing about with Asterisk on the other box at the request of my Senior Engineer:)

Just think, next year you will be able to run Windows
your Mac natively, now that's just messed up.
