Niveus to Show Dual-Tuner CableCard Receiver (OCUR) for Vista Media Center (CE
Pro) | Juile started off her CES posting with a nice post on Niveus Media's
plans to upgrade there existing PC's to support CableCARD.
They have got there own nice CableCARD Receiver (shown in
the picture below) which nicely integrates with their Rainier Edition
PC. I'm sure Niveus took the standalone
STB route for several reasons, and can you blame them for not wanting to have
to mod there pretty cases?
It supports up to two CableCARDs, pricing hasn't been set
yet but as always owners of Niveus machines should see their Readies
For Windows Vista Launch Webpage for more information.
Tim from Niveus notes "While
it should in theory work with other manufacturers' CableCard-ready PCs…we have
not tested this scenario and cannot support it until those other PCs launch and
are available for compatibility testing." Don't get your hopes up about that quote, we all
must remember what's needed.
Clicky here for more from
Windows Vista Digital Cable Tuners (WindowsNow) | Robert McLaws has got an OCUR
from Microsoft to play with, and notes that OCUR is no-where on the product.
Sticking with the correct naming, CableLabs was smart enough
to adopt the same naming method as other CableCARD-ready product, calling them "Digital
Cable Tuners" according to Robert. When
you go to purchase a HDTV, you might notice the Digital Cable Ready logo which
is the same thing. OCUR stands for OpenCable Unidirectional Receiver and that is the name that will be used by CableLabs for the products when in development. When the public gets them, "Digital Cable Tuners" will be there given name.
Robert says there are external USB versions (as pictured)
and he says there will be PCI-X versions for internal use. I'm not sure about the last part, I think you
will find them connecting via USB even in the internal installs based on what I have been told.
Robert has more pictures here.

Weather window saves the day for the 2012 harvest
Published 19/09/2012 | 06:00
From 0-60mph in 10 seconds is terminology that is familiar to many. From 30-90pc in 10 days is terminology that is not familiar to anybody, but could be coined in relation to the 2012 harvest.
This year's harvest will no doubt go down as one of the most difficult and frustrating in recent times.
With rainfall levels at record highs for the harvest period, it is remarkable that the harvest was eventually completed so quickly.
The only decent harvest weather ran during the 10 days from Thursday, August 30 to Sunday, September 9, and saw the harvest progress from approximately 30pc completed to about 90pc.
For the most part, only spring wheat, oil seed rape and beans remain to be harvested. Great credit is due to all growers, but particularly to their combine operators and contractors.
They revealed huge commitment to ensure the harvest of 2012 was not completely lost.
I know of many incidents where combines were bogged and even new combines required towing out of fields.
This is not a situation that combine owners anticipate or that combines themselves are able to cope with.
There were extremely variable yields this year, with winter wheat ranging from 1.5t/ac to 4.5t/ac, and averaging at between 3.1t/ac and 3.3t/ac. Spring barley yields ranged from 1.5t/ac to 3.5t/ac, with an average of between 2.6t/ac and 2.8t/ac.
While quality was generally poorer than previous years, it improved in later crops.
It also appears that the gross financial output per acre did not fall substantially from 2011.
While it appears that winter wheat yields are back approximately 0.75t/ac and spring barley up to 0.5t/ac, the output per acre remains similar.
This is of little consolation to those farmers who embraced the forward-selling concept. Many have lost money by selling forward this year.
Nonetheless, this is no reason to abandon this concept and it should probably be embraced further for the coming season.
It is something that is very difficult to get right and is an area that growers and advisers need to become more comfortable with to ensure better returns.
The main grain-growing areas of the country, the south and south-east, appear to have borne the brunt of the heavy rainfall, particularly in August, with rainfall 225pc above the monthly average recorded in Johnstown Castle and 192pc in Cork.
Grain prices remain strong, with €220/t available for wheat and up to €210/t for feed barley and €252/t for malting barley. Such prices are helping to soften the blows for many.
Growers are again considering their cropping programmes for 2013, with oilseed rape already planted. The ideal date for planting this crop has now passed.
If planting from now on, you can be assured of a significant yield penalty. If you are anxious to plant oilseed rape for 2013, I suggest you wait to plant the spring crop, which has good potential if planted early and well managed.
Monitor winter rape emergence closely for slugs by placing slug bait in a number of areas around fields.
Every year there are discussions on the value/returns from second and continuous wheat.
However, when the weather allows, despite last year's harsh lessons, optimistic farmers plant unsuitable ground with wheat.
Again, in 2012 there are numerous examples of first wheat crops outyielding second and continuous wheat by at least 0.75t/ac.
Growing 2.75-3.5t/ac makes no economic sense, especially if 2.7-3t/ac of spring barley can be achieved.
Generally, it is the better growers on the better ground who grow winter wheat.
But it is easier and less expensive in many situations to achieve greater returns from spring barley.
If you want to continue with winter wheat production, it is vital to plan for the crop and incorporate break crops into rotation.
While some continuous wheat performed reasonably well this year, this was the exception rather than the rule.
Again, when a full analysis is being undertaken on the 2012 season, we must question the large fungicide spend on winter wheat.
The almost fanatical adherence to the new SDHI chemistry for the control of septoria must now be reassessed.
This high fungicide spend was, in my opinion, not recouped, particularly as ear diseases had a greater influence this year.
The inability of fungicides to control ear diseases is worrying and while these are not always a problem, they are having a greater influence year on year.
Finally, remember to complete your records for 2012 before they are forgotten.

Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F or temperature per recipe directions. Before first and after each use, we recommend hand washing pan in warm soapy water. Your cake will unmold easily, without sticking, when you prepare the pan properly. Grease the inside of pan using a pastry brush and solid vegetable shortening (do not use butter, margarine or liquid vegetable oil). Spread the shortening so that all indentations are covered. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons flour inside pan and shake so that flour covers all greased surfaces.
Turn pan upside down and tap lightly to remove excess flour. If any shiny spots remain, touch up with more shortening and flour to prevent cake from sticking. (You can use vegetable oil pan spray or Wilton Cake Release or Wilton Bake Easy? Non-Stick Spray, in place of solid shortening and flour).
Make one 2-layer cake mix according to package or recipe directions. Pour the cake batter into pan, and if necessary, spread the batter around with a spatula to fill all areas of the pan evenly. Be careful not to touch sides or bottom of pan.
Bake cake on middle rack of 350°F oven for 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done according to recipe directions.
Remove cake from oven and cool on cake rack for 10 minutes. While the cake is still in the pan, carefully slice off the raised center portion of the cake. This allows the cake to sit more level and helps prevent cracking.
To remove cake from pan, place cooling rack against cake and turn both cake rack and pan over. Lift pan off carefully. Cool cake at least one hour. Brush loose crumbs off cake.
To transfer cake to serving board, hold a cake board against cake and turn both cake and rack over. Lift off rack. Hold another board against bottom of cake and turn cake over. Be sure to hold cake, rack and board close together while turning to prevent cake from cracking.

After being admitted to the hospital at 27 weeks and 1 day for contractions and keeping things at bay for a week they released me.
I had a very bad gut feeling I shouldn't go home so I asked if I could take my time, take a nap and wait for my husband to get off work before coming home.
I am very lucky I did because no less than 45 mins after I was released I went into a very quick labor out of the blue and in 30 mins was 10cm.
Our boys, Aiden (2lbs 9oz) and Evan (2lbs 10oz) are doing good according to all the NICU doctors, they both had Apgar scores of 9.
They have only needed the C-PAP and a little oxygen here and there. Evan is completly off the C-PAP. They had pic lines placed today and they say everything looks really good. (I don't even know if I spelled that right...heck I freaked out when they told me they did blood gasses on them because I thought they were giving them some sort of gas!)
To me it is all terrifying and they don't look ok despite what everyone says. They say they will be home in 8 weeks.
They look so small and they are bruised from delivery, they were hard to get out. Which is really freaking me out.
I have tried to look up things online and have read such scary things like death rate as a baby/child is higher for preemies....which is terrifying. They don't state why - just that it is higher.
Then there are all the long term effects, I feel like I am never going to take a deep breath again. I am so scared for them.
I am already a worrier...with our first who is 18 months I watched him breathe at night till he was 6 months old...heck I still do.
I feel such overwhelming guilt for not being able to keep them in and feel like they will suffer forever now. It is hard to just not cry and break down everytime I see them.
I am sorry if this is long but I am just trying to find someone who has walked this path and can offer some sort of guidance.
Thank you so much in advance.

Women's earnings up relative to men's in 2002
April 23, 2003
In 2002, the ratio of women's earnings to men's increased to 78 percent, from 76 percent a year earlier.
Since 1979, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics began regularly collecting information on usual weekly earnings in the CPS, the ratio of women's to men's earnings has increased by 15 percentage points.
Women who usually worked full time in 2002 had median earnings of $531 per week, compared with the $685 median for men. The female-to-male earnings ratios were higher among blacks (90 percent) and Hispanics (87 percent) than among whites (78 percent).
It is important to remember that many factors may underlie the disparity between the earnings of men and women: differences in work schedules, educational attainment, length of experience in the workforce, occupational and industry makeup of each group, and discrimination, for examples.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. For more information on labor market trends in 2002, see "U.S. labor market in 2002: continued weakness," by Terence M. McMenamin, Rachel Krantz, and Thomas J. Krolik, Monthly Labor Review, February 2003.

AT A BASIC LEVEL, orbital decompression surgery, as compared with a field like, say, molecular biology, has advanced very little in the past 100 years. It still represents a lot of hammering and chiseling on a disease that would be better treated immunologically. To the credit of orbit surgeons, however, advancement of the field has not been stationary. A number of philosophical and technical advances have coalesced to evolve the surgical management of thyroid-related orbitopathy. I know that I personally have a substantially different approach to the surgical management of my own patients than I did 10 years ago. I will focus on 3 areas in which significant changes have occurred: the indications for orbital decompression, the bony surfaces that are selected for removal, and the incisions that are used to gain access to the orbital cavity.

Almost 40 years ago, my wife and I bought our first home. As a wet-behind-the-ears Ph.D. economist, I wanted to impress my wife with my knowledge of real estate by stating the "iron law of real estate."
I confidently explained the "law" to her this way. "With a limited budget, people who value space, like square footage, over accessibility to work, shopping and other amenities, buy a home farther out.

Ah yes, Thanksgiving Day is here and for many of us it will be our annual rite of family, football and daylong feasting.
For many of us, celebrating Thanksgiving conjures up visions of pseudo-Pilgrims and early Indians dressed in period garb created from the best construction paper first- and second-graders could find.
Cutouts of turkeys, pumpkins and cornucopias hanging from classroom ceilings added to the festive spirit.
I would like to comment on what is to be the new Roy Hardin Park. The new one replaces the old park that was off Collins Road.
The new park opened last weekend. It was a big dissappointment. The walking trail is very short compared to the old one. When summer comes, the playground will be in complete sun.
From what I had read, the new park was to be an improvement over the former one. The former park had uneven trails and steep hills but it had a pond.
I was hoping to enjoy this park but can see that it will be useless because of the limited trail.
I awoke on Nov. 15 at 3 a.m. to a peace that passes all understanding and I had to say thank you Lord, you have been so good to me.
I would like to express my gratitude to the 927 people who cast a vote for Linda Blackmon-Brace for mayor of the city of Lancaster.
On Oct. 30, the city of Lancaster hosted its annual Boo FunFest in historic downtown Lancaster. City Hall parking lot became a place where the children of Lancaster could gather for an evening of games and treats without the tricks.
From 4-7 p.m., children of all ages filled the streets to enjoy free popcorn, punch and games. What originally began as a safe Halloween alternative for children to trick-or-treat, Boo FunFest has grown to become an annual Halloween destination for families throughout Lancaster. More than 3,000 people attended this year's event.
I would like to ask the public to treat Lancaster County Library employees with respect.
I would also like to ask county officials to consider pay raises for the employees and more funding for the library.
I visit the Lancaster County Library three to four times a week.
I have seen people who come in to the library who are very disrespectful to the employees there.
County Council reorganized its farmers market commission this summer and now it's supporting a plan to upgrade the market itself.
Officials say since the commission was reorganized, with mostly new members, the market itself has seen an increase in business. But the physical location across from the sheriff's office on Pageland Highway, could use some renovations. Councilman Jack Estridge said at a recent council meeting that the market facilities have been neglected for years.

Fonda, Tomlin reteam for Netflix sitcom
NEW YORK - Netflix says it's reuniting Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin for a new comedy series.
The online TV network will launch "Grace and Frankie" starring Fonda and Tomlin as long-time foes who come together when their husbands desert them after falling in love.
The single-camera comedy will film a first season of 13 half-hour episodes to premiere on Netflix next year.
The two actresses co-starred a quarter-century ago in the comedy hit "Nine to Five."
Fonda recently appeared on HBO's "The Newsroom" and was seen in the film "Lee Daniels' The Butler." Tomlin appeared in last year's Tina Fey comedy, "Admission."
FX network orders Billy Crystal comedy
NEW YORK - Billy Crystal has agreed to star in a new television series in which he's paired with Josh Gad in a story about two comics in a generational clash.
The series is called "The Comedians." It's set to air on the FX network next year.
FX said it has ordered 13 episodes.
"The Comedians" is based on a format popular in Sweden and will look at a late-night television show on which egos and generations collide. The pilot episode was directed by Larry Charles, who worked on "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Crystal has been well known for movie roles, a "Saturday Night Live" stint and repeated turns as Academy Awards host. But his last role in a regular TV series was on the 1970s ABC sitcom "Soap."
National Geographic to chronicle the 1990s
NEW YORK - Nostalgia gets closer and closer to real time. The National Geographic Network says it will air a miniseries this summer on the 1990s.
The project premieres this July on the cable network and follows on the heels of National Geographic's success chronicling of the 1980s last spring.
The network said some 120 people who made some mark on the 1990s have been interviewed, including Matthew Perry of "Friends," actress Susan Sarandon, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and rock singer Courtney Love.
It will examine the Clinton presidency and rise of Osama bin Laden, along with reality television and music ranging from rap to grunge.

We are not wine connoisseurs and we don't pretend to be. We once opened one of our friend's French wines before its 'time' because we believed it was a total waste of 'time' to wait. Literally. Of course, we were totally wrong. They never let us touch their wine collection after that. So, we let our friends do the honors in ordering wine when we go out.
But we do drink at home occasionally – usually with Italian food.
May be by the time I pour half the bottle of red in the "gravy", the rest of the bottle has been decanted already so I feel compelled to finish it off.
Anyway, I saved a few bottles because I hate to waste such great looking glass bottles. So, once I have a few more saved up, I'll be making some of these. I'm sure you can make these with beer bottles or glass soda bottles too. 🙂
1. Drinking Glasses
Watch this video, and see how easy it is to cut wine bottles. You don't have to buy the $45 gadget the video suggests. I bought a glass cutter for less than $10 to use for my project. These glasses seem easy enough, right? Now that I know how to cut bottles, I'll be sure to try these.

2. Candle Holder
Candle Holders – These pretty candle holders are made from cutting wine bottles using acetone nail polish remover. Great way to cut the glass without fancy tools. Seems easy enough, right?
3. Table Top Lamp
Table Top Lamp – this method is using a glass drill bit and drilling a hole and putting a string of Christmas lights inside. I think this would be easy too but it does take some patience as it can take up to 30 minutes to drill.
4. Lantern/Hurricane Lamp
These are like hurricane lamps that you put the candles inside. It requires cutting the bottom of the bottle and putting it over the candle. That's it! Simple but pretty.
5. No Cutting Required Lamp
No Cutting or Drilling Required Lamp – this seems like the safest method as it does NOT require any drilling or cutting or putting anything on fire. Just insert the string of Christmas lights from the top, embellish the bottle with some cascading fake grapes and leaves to cover the wire and that's it! She also has a cool idea of frosting the bottle with reverse stenciled snowflakes. No fancy tools necessary! So if you are squeamish about using sharp tools or fire, this is it for you.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - On Fox's pregame show Sunday, Richie Incognito was emoting and atoning to America, describing a Miami Dolphins locker room culture in which he was - according to one published report - an "honorary black man."
As such, he could get away with using a racial epithet when talking to his teammates, and this admission had ignited a national discussion about race and language, about who we are and how we act and what we can say. And it was difficult not to think about this discussion as you watched the Eagles' 27-13 victory here over the Packers, and as you watched one player in particular.

Cherokee Inc. late Tuesday welcomed back former president Jay Kester to lead marketing, and signed two new representation deals reflecting its desire to move beyond its base in apparel.
This story first appeared in the July 9, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Its representation arrangements are for Refresh Skin Care by Dr. Susan Evans and with award-winning British interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
Kester, who served as president of Cherokee and departed in 1995, has returned as executive vice president, marketing, and will work with the firm's marketing representatives and retail accounts. Kester was most recently president of Hot Kiss, the junior brand in which Bluestar Alliance this year acquired a majority stake for an estimated $20 million.
Kester has been associated with Cherokee chief executive officer Robert Margolis throughout their professional careers. "His vision and leadership contributed to the growth of so many equities, including A. Smile, Gelati, Cherokee, Code Bleu and others," Margolis said. "His experience will be a tremendous asset."
Kester had been close to accepting another position in the apparel industry when he turned to Margolis for professional advice. "I told him to turn his car around and come see me," the ceo told WWD.
Although Cherokee is best known for its retail-direct ownership of brands including Cherokee, Sideout and Carole Little, it also serves as a licensing representative for brands both inside and outside the realm of apparel.
The addition of Evans — the Beverly Hills dermatologist whose Refresh collection emphasizes treatment of problem, scarred and discolored skin — to Cherokee's client roster reflects its desire to "focus on opportunities to represent other consumer product industries besides clothing and home brands, including HBA and electronics," said Larry Sass, executive vice president of Cherokee.

THE POTENTIAL PICKS for the 76ers have been coming in swarms, working out for coach Doug Collins, president Rod Thorn, general manager Ed Stefanski and director of player personnel Courtney Witte, among others. Though they have been scouted and watched on film numerous times, the Sixers' brass still looks for the little things up close that might make their pick at No. 16 a little easier.
But a large cloud is hanging over them - Andre Iguodala is still a Sixer. And that complicates any decisions about the immediate future, including what they will do in Thursday's draft.
Whether he will return for his eighth season with the club when training camp rolls around in late September is still the biggest question facing the organization, which is looking to improve on last year's 41-win season, a 14-game jump over the previous year.

The body snatchers' legacy to medicineBreaking News
One might struggle to see the ethical side of bodysnatching, that grisly activity epitomised by Burke and Hare. But, according to a senior curator at the Royal College of Surgeons, some of the greatest discoveries in medical history might not have been possible without it.
Few crimes can make the flesh crawl like body snatching, but it was prevalent in the 18th Century.
Few crimes can make the flesh crawl like body snatching, but it was prevalent in the 18th Century.
The image of freshly raided graves scandalised the public, but few of the perpetrators and procurers were caught and, when they were, the punishments were trivial.
Simon Chaplin, senior curator of the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons, London, has new insights into this grisly conundrum.
In a recent speech, he pointed out that some of the great discoveries of medical history took place in the 18th Century - the small pox vaccine, advances in obstetrics, dental surgery and the treatment and detection of venereal disease.

The North Avenue Irregulars
- Directed by Bruce Bilson (II)
===Story=== Typical of Disney's 1970s output, this squeaky-clean comic adventure about a group of church volunteers and soccer moms who take on local gangsters is packed with slapstick humor, sight gags, and nonlethal car crashes. Curiously enough, it's based on the true story of Reverend Albert Fay Hill, who wrote a book about his efforts to stop mob-run gambling in his city. Edward Herrmann plays the fictionalized Presbyterian minister Mike Hill, a soft-spoken widower with two kids who ruffles the feathers of the dedicated church secretary (Susan Clark) when he organizes a group of women to help the Treasury Department catch the bookies in the act. The mobsters are more Damon Runyon than John Gotti: no one gets hurt and everything ends in a demolition derby free-for-all as the suburban-lady volunteers play bumper cars with the mobsters. There's a potentially fascinating story in there that Disney keeps a G-rated cap on (though seeing Karen Valentine swingin' her booty under the cover of pounds of makeup and a little halter top is a surprise in a family film), but it's a harmless little comedy enlivened by plucky performances by Barbara Harris and Cloris Leachman and a fun turn by Ruth Buzzie as a church elder with a CB-radio handle.

I did omit the brandy, but added 3 tablespoons dry wine. The flavors complimented each other very nice, and yes the goat cheese out this over the top. The flavors were perfect. Made for a nice dinner with Chicken Breasts With Porcini Mushrooms
WOW! This is so easy and very delicious, and filling! What put it over the top is the goat cheese. One of the things I dislike about French Onion Soup is sometimes the Swiss cheese gets stringy and glops into a big ball, making it hard to eat. No problem with the goat cheese, plus the flavor really compliments the soup. Will be making this again.

Stephenson Price (with whom the band previously worked on 11:11/Based on Truth and Lies, and festival-selected "Boomerang"), (disPLAY) was filmed and recorded on October 3, 2014 to a sold-out audience in Paint's hometown Toronto. (disPLAY) captures the band's 90-minute stadium-ready visual and aural onslaught at its most fierce, in front of ambitious stage design, lighting, and video projections.
Paint is honoured to be working with Western Canadian Music Awards Engineer of the Year, Ryan Worsley, at EchoPlant Sound in Coquitlam, BC (whose recent credits include Dear Rouge), and mastering at home in Toronto with Andre Sousa (Geary Ave. Studios).

1.12.2016: "Shattered Hearts" music video behind-the-scenes photos

My Oppo DV-970HD has been sitting around for a while (years) and needs a new home. It has some scuffs on the top from having other equipment on top of it. The face is free of scratches or marks. It is in good working order. I have the original box and accessories; the only thing missing is the manual (I looked everywhere and can't find it).

Christmas comes early for the Blazers
The Blazers finally trade Bonzi Wells on Wednesday. NBA Insider Chad Ford wonders which Bad News Blazer will be kicked to the curb next.
Updated: December 5, 2003, 11:57 AM ETBy Chad Ford | NBA Insider
The Blazers have had enough. The housecleaning has begun.
Bonzi Wells has been traded to the Grizzlies. Is it just a matter of time before Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, Ruben Patterson, Qyntel Woods and even Zach Randolph are kicked to the curb as well?
After years of suffering through player misbehavior on and off the court, Blazers GM John Nash finally found someone willing to take one of the troublemakers off his hands. The surprise is that it's, of all people, Jerry West and Hubie Brown.

In two recent posts, we described a set of tutorial sessions teaching open source NoSQL databases at SUNY Albany.
I recently came back from the USENIX Large Installation System Administration (LISA) conference held in San Diego, California, and it was an interesting experience.
The end of 2012 is here and over time I think it will be considered a revolutionary moment for open education and open source. A tipping point. A seismic shift. The world has not seen this type of revolution since the early 1400s and the arrival of the printing press.
Many educators might have been hesitant in the past regarding embracing open source software. But not anymore as the number that has taken to open source software (OSS) has increased significantly over the years. As more teachers as well as institutions are now engaging with organizations such as... Read more

Bucs WR Mike Williams Headed to IR, Will Need Surgery
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed wide receiver Mike Williams on injured reserve, the team announced Monday. Williams had been suffering from a hamstring injury for over a month.
On Friday, head coach Greg Schiano stated that Williams had been?suffering from an undisclosed hamstring condition. Later that day, the Tampa Tribune reported that the fourth-year wide receiver had actually tore the muscle in the?Sept. 29 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Williams had attempted to play through the injury, which was originally sustained against the New England Patriots in Week 3, but was unable to do so?and will now undergo surgery.
"After getting all of the information from the doctors, he was allowed to try [and play with the injury]," said head coach Greg Schiano.
"He did for two weeks, but he wasn?t really himself. [He] couldn?t do the things he needs to do to be effective. So it?s time to get surgery.?
Williams played in six games?in 2013,?catching 22 passes for 216 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He had never missed a game until this season, when the injury prevented him from facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 2012, Williams caught 65 passes for 996 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, setting up a six-year, $40.25 million contract??for the former fourth-round draft pick that was signed on the even of training camp.
Schiano said during his Monday afternoon press conference that Tiquan Underwood will assume Williams' role as the team's No. 2 receiver.
