LONG BEACH - Top supply-chain experts said Wednesday they are optimistic they can handle what looks to be an improved peak season for shipping at the Port of Long Beach.
Several of the industry's leaders in cargo movement spoke at The Port of Long Beach's "Pulse of the Ports: Peak Season Forecast," its annual industry forecast event attended by roughly 400 people at the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown.
The event, which began in 2005, brings together those involved in all points of the supply chain.
"Forecasting is not an exact science, but piecing together projections from these different vantage points is what allows us to see the big picture and plan for the future," said Susan E. Anderson Wise, head of the Long Beach Harbor Commission.
Speakers such as Daniel R. Wall, senior vice president of Ocean & Cargo Management Services, Expeditors, and Erxin Yao, president of OOCL (USA) Inc. discussed their customers' take on business and projects currently under way to manage future activity.
Wall, whose company's business is 30 percent retail, said his customers are optimistic, adding that 55 percent of volume will peak in September-October.
"We're looking at a traditional peak this year, which is something we haven't seen in a long time," he said.
He also said that 95 percent of his customers say volumes in the West Coast ports will either stay the same or increase. The reason for the possible increase? Better sales from consumers coming back to the job market and looser credit to open more stores.
Labor disputes on the East Coast may also mean more cargo shipments to the West Coast.
Yao, president of OOCL, whose company recently agreed to a 40-year lease with the Port of Long Beach in the future Middle Harbor, spoke of the "mega trend" of larger carriers.
About half of the ships are now able to carry 5,000 container units (or 20-foot equivalent units, TEUs) and 10 percent of the ships are more than 10,000 TEUs, Yao said.
"But if you look at our order book, almost half of the ships being built will be 10,000 TEUs or more," he said. "And that will be the trend of the future."
Christopher Lytle, executive director of the Port of Long Beach, spoke about the buzz surrounding the MSC Fabiola, the 12,500 TEU vessel that arrived in Long Beach a few weeks ago.
"That was a significant event," Lytle said. "The question of future competitiveness comes down to which ports could handle the biggest ships the most effective way. And with the Fabiola, we proved that Long Beach is ready.
"We're well positioned to bring ... more trade, more business, more jobs and more revenue to the port. With the help of many stakeholders, we're moving quickly to do just that."
Terminals at both the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are preparing for possible peak season surge activity, said Bruce Wargo, secretary of the West Coast Marine Terminal Operators Agreement, which represents the 13 terminal operators in Southern California.
Some are deploying larger cranes in anticipation of larger vessels and offering an additional 55 night and weekend gate operations throughout the week in addition to normal schedules.
In past peak seasons, terminals added flex hours, and evening and morning shifts to get a head start, hired extra clerks for noon hour relief, he said.

it's not the nsa bros, it's group of super-core mid-atlantic burlmeisters who are sick of their overcrowded breaks being overrun by kooks from elsewhere. they figure if they can get people to hate swellinfo so much that they stop coming to check the forecasts...well, you get the point.
the heavy (but fair) hand of the matt johnson regime would have never put up with this stuff.
I'm now convinced that SI is composed of no more than 7 real-life individuals that are each spinning anywhere from 3 to 26 different accounts. The greater number of multiple accounts, the sicker and more deranged the individual. Add up the cumulative word count per day of all posts from the various accounts of the average SI member (1 of 7 total people) and it triples the output of even my most hyperactive day of posting yet.

WOW! Are they tracking me in the water too? I usually wear a tin foil surf helmet to ward the radio signals away when I am out shredding. I hope they don't know it's me.

Once the document was produced, the auditor checked it off his list, DiPascali said.
Bar-Fields had served two years in the Navy and now worked two jobs back in Texas, one of them as a night auditor at a hotel.
And for their services -- as Autonomy's auditor -- they got a nice fee.
The auditor also said there were suspicious transactions, including the questionable movement of $100,000 in campaign funds.
Six out of seven statewide elected officials, from governor on down to auditor, are Democrats.
In recent years the comptroller, or the auditor, as you may prefer to call him, has become more and more of a statistician.
The 58lady afterwards detained him with her as the auditor of her accounts.
In very grave cases, they could be accompanied by some auditor, if necessary.
"Boompointer's a big man," continued his auditor doubtfully.
Never was auditor more easily moved by the transitions of the tale from tears to smiles, and from smiles again to tears.
early 14c., "official who receives and examines accounts;" late 14c., "a listener," from Anglo-French auditour (Old French oieor "listener, court clerk," 13c.; Modern French auditeur), from Latin auditor "a hearer," from auditus, past participle of audire "to hear" (see audience). Meaning "receiver and examiner of accounts" is because this process formerly was done, and vouched for, orally.

LONG BEACH - It's official. The Port of Long Beach's Middle Harbor will be home to Orient Overseas Container Line, thanks to a historic $4.6 billion deal that is expected to double cargo movement, create 14,000 permanent jobs and potentially make it the nation's busiest seaport.
Port of Long Beach Executive Director Christopher Lytle on Thursday said the port entered into its "largest and most far-reaching terminal lease" earlier this week when it inked a 40-year lease with the Hong Kong-based container shipping and logistics service company, sealing the deal after a year of negotiations.
The long-term lease gives the company and its subsidiary, Long Beach Container Terminal, LLC, exclusive use of the 330-acre Middle Harbor. That will triple the size of the company's footprint, making it the biggest agreement of its kind in the history of container terminals in the U.S. and perhaps worldwide, Lytle said.
"It's a huge commitment from a very, very solid, well-run company like OOCL to the Port of Long Beach and the city of Long Beach," Lytle said. "It's a commitment unlike any other commitment that's been made before for one gateway. That's a terrific vote of confidence, and for us that means it's a tremendous stream of revenue over these 40 years."
Lytle also spoke of the development's low environmental impact.
"It's going to have a lot of benefits for us financially and do a lot of positive things in terms of the environment," he said. "The terminal is practically going to be all electric and it's going to be the cleanest, greenest terminal ever constructed so far. The technology that's being utilized is going to be designed for efficiency and very ultra low pollution levels."
A Port of Long Beach customer since 1969, OOCL was one of the first shipping lines in the transpacific container business to call the Port of Long Beach home, Lytle said.
OOCL is expected to move into the new space as early as 2016.
Projected for completion in 2019, the $1.2 billion redevelopment project will connect two old shipping terminals encompassing 294 acres into a new 330-acre terminal. Improvements will include upgraded wharfs, water access and storage area and an expanded on-dock rail yard from 10,000 linear feet to 75,000, which means fewer local truck trips and less air pollution, Lytle said.
The project could help Long Beach push pass the Port of Los Angeles as the nation's busiest seaport. The twin ports have always competed for the top spot.
Latest numbers showed that Long Beach port shipping terminals moved about 6.1 million 20-foot-equivalent containers in 2011, compared to the Port of Los Angeles, which moved more than 7.94 million cargo containers last year.
If this trend continues and the Middle Harbor reaches capacity, the Port of Long Beach would top 9 million TEUs.
A ceremonial groundbreaking event hosted by the port is expected to take place in mid-May.
"OOCL has been a great business partner for the Port of Long Beach for many, many years, and I couldn't be happier that they have made another long-term commitment to the port," Board of Harbor Commissioners President Susan E. Anderson Wise said in a written statement. "With this historic lease signing, we will move forward into the next phase of our successful business relationship."

What does it mean to be a visionary? I've been rolling the term around in my head a bit as HT profiles its 2014 Hotel Visionary Award winners. Numerous books and bloggers assign a laundry list of qualities. Visionaries possess leadership, conviction, preparedness, boldness, skepticism and perspective, they say. I prefer a simple definition. Visionaries live at the intersection of imagination — the faculty of forming new ideas — and wisdom — the realm of experience. Imagination without wisdom is the jurisdiction of the dreamer; wisdom without imagination lacks the catalyst for change.
The discipline of technology, bridging possibility and practicality, lends itself well to visionaries. Names like Jobs, Zuckerburg, Gates and Dell have household status. But for all of its potential, technology — particularly when operating in the daily grind of supporting a business — can also be hindered by the realities of creating consistent, reliable infrastructures. Reality, for technology, can lead to risk aversion. This is where technology visionaries stand apart, leveraging their wisdom while forming new ideas.
This year's Hotel Visionary Award winning companies are prime examples of what it means to be a technology visionary at a time when IT teams are attempting to shift from business support to business leadership. In each of the winning companies, technologists coupled imagination with technical wisdom and have stepped out of IT silos to lead their businesses. The ground-up reimaging of Red Lion's website was spawned not by e-commerce, marketing or revenue mangers, but by a software developer who imagined a better way to drive bookings. At Mandarin Oriental, technology leaders developed an innovation lab to serve as a proving ground whereby they can demonstrate technology to key stakeholders from across the business, and ultimately wield influence. And at La Quinta, technologists reversed the typical responsive approach to system maintenance and performance — instead they are now able to predict, identify and triage problems before they arise.
These visionaries have harnessed the imaginative power of "what if" and coupled it with their invaluable IT wisdom. These IT teams are leading their businesses to a better future.

Most large, traditional VCs prefer startups with a somewhat proven model that has clear "home run" exit potential. Our focus is different. We prefer startups that haven't achieved product-market fit and we're happy with "base hits".
At RSCM, we focus on funding startups in what we view as the most underserved segment of the ecosystem. We make 75 - 100 investments per year in companies that:
We strive to give entrepreneurs a firm YES or NO in less than 2 weeks.
We don't like deals where a $40M exit would be considered a failed investment and most of the money goes back to investors through liquidation preferences. We do like deals where a $40M exit is a life-changing financial event for the founders and investors realize great returns.
To ensure we reach a highly diverse population of founding teams, we work with a wide variety of high-quality channels such as TechStars, AngelHack, Founder Institute, angel groups across the country, and other thought leaders in the startup ecology.

The last in our Batch series is being packaged today and tomorrow. While we are excited to free up some brewing space for other creative projects, the end of the Batch series marks a major milestone for us, and is a little bittersweet being the end of an era. Batch 10,000 reflects our homebrewing roots and was inspired by the the last homebrew of the season. Our owner Larry Bell remembers going through his brewing supplies and making the last homebrew out of whatever malts and hops were left from his brewing months. With this being the motivation behind our last commemorative batch series beer, we combed through the catalogs of many malt and hop suppliers to source 100 different malts, grains, and other fermentables. This is balanced by the addition of 60 different hop varietals between the kettle and dry hopping. The resulting beer presents a deep, chocolate brown hue and offers roasted and caramel notes from the malts mixed with an assertive hop character. Feel free to drink it fresh, or vintage age it as you please. We lift our glass in appreciation to Bell's drinkers who have helped us reach this moment in our brewery's history. Cheers to you!

Friday's Rochester Coverage
Q&A with Mike Card
'HF: Any contact with Sabres since training camp?
MC: Well, not much throughout the season so far. When I was down there I got to go the main camp and it was a good experience for sure. I got to talk to quite a few of the guys and the coaches. They gave me a few things to work on. I've spoken to the trainer a couple of times about a bit of a shoulder injury, but it's a lot better now.'
Noronen hopes Sabres solve goalie glut by trade deadline
'"I've been hoping every day when I wake up that something's going to happen," Noronen said this week as the Sabres resumed practice following a 10-day Olympic break. "But nothing has happened and now it's two weeks left and I'm still hoping that something will happen. Hopefully, they move me somewhere or somebody else."'

'Overall – B+. One player goes down, cools off, another steps up his play. That's the story of the forwards. They are a gritty bunch playing largely to their abilities and completely buying into Lindy Ruff's system.'
Jason Pominville Q&A
'Being a French guy the first guys I went to is J.P. (Dumont), Danny (Briere) and Marty (Biron).

Fifth-Ranked Rollins Completes Series Sweep with Four-Run Seventh
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Posting four runs in the top of the seventh inning, the No.5 Rollins College Tars (45-2, 22-1 SSC) overcame a late-innings, 2-1 deficit to sweep the season series from Saint Leo (23-28, 7-14 SSC) by the score of 5-2, Friday afternoon from University Stadium.
Trailing 1-0 for the majority of the contest, Lions' junior third baseman Danielle Moreda roped a two out, two-RBI single into leftfield to give the Lions a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning.
Despite the momentum shift, the Lions could not close the door on the lead. In the top of the seventh inning the nationally ranked visitor's answered with four runs on four hits to steal the victory.
Monica Meadows game-tying RBI single, as well as Krista Rodden's two-RBI double highlighted the frame for the Tars and put the game out of reach for the Green & Gold.
Hope Bitzer took the Lion down in order in the seventh as she improved to 18-0.
The Lions collected five hits in the SSC tilt, including two from Brittany Yates. Moreda was 1-for-3 with two RBI while Ashlee Sismilich and Amber Marty each connected on singles.
Seeing a trio of pitchers enter the circle, Jaime Walker was tagged with the loss as she dropped to 3-7 on the season.
Lions' starter Kristen Kelly held the hot-hitting Tars at bay for much of the afternoon as she tossed 6.1 innings, surrendering two earned runs on five hits. Megan Still threw up zeros in 0.2 innings of mop-up duty.
In total, the Lions left four runners on base.
The Lions will return to action on Wednesday, April 27 as they open a three-game home series with conference foe Eckerd. First pitch for Wednesday's single game is set for 7:00 p.m.

Cardol - thanks for the starship part, that was fast. I also have a Huey engine I will send you. Out of the cyclone, sequoia, and the tetra I don't have any of those yet and don't think I can buy them yet either. But the tetra sounds the best out of the three when I compare their stats. I'm trying to convert to mainly mohawks and pearjets, they are the most efficient for me. Plus I want the starship just because it's fun. But I still need the body for it.
I really don't understand why anyone would want the Huey or the p40 or the blimp - unless there is something special about them that I don't know. Or is it just to have had one of each?
I'm kinda new at this so if anyone has any beginner ones... Just to helpme get started? I'm level 6 right now so if anyone has a griffin-p controls laying around, or a Wallaby-c engine... It would be greatly appreciated. And I have a wallaby-m engine if anyone wants to trade me for it :) thanks~

Sorry Mortmr, I traded away my Bobcat controls. There's no way to message you in Gamecenter, so I figure this would be the best shot to contact you. I sent you back your Blimp controls and a part i don't really need to offset the Plane Bux cost.

Jet search: Pings have gone silent
(NEWSER) – When an Australian ship heard pings possibly from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, officials saw a big lead open up in the search—but since then, investigators haven't been able to recapture the signal, Reuters reports. That's particularly worrying since the batteries on the jet's black boxes have likely just about run out. But "we need to continue (searching) for several days right up to the point at which there's absolutely no doubt that the batteries will have expired," says Angus Houston, the Australian official leading the search, per CBS News.

JURUPA VALLEY -- A riverbottom fire that scorched 351 acres in Jurupa Valley and Riverside was 100 percent contained Saturday evening, Cal Fire officials said.
The fire was first reported in the area of Rio and Calle Hermosa roads Friday afternoon and quickly burned through the heavy brush and vegetation in the river bottom, officials said.
The fire was 100 percent contained by 6 p.m. Saturday and full control was expected by Sunday this evening.
The flames came a few dozen feet from homes, but firefighters beat back the flames and no damages were reported, officials said.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

First of all I would like to thank all people who work on this project and for all help and support from you guys and I apologize for my poor English.
I got Zotac Zbox plus ID80 and I feel the need to share my opinion.
running windows 7 home premium 32 bit - XBMC Eden.
Simply it is: slim, small quiet and fast enough to play 3D 1080p full SBS smoothly, but I had difficulty with the remote control configuration, I search the forum and other forums but no luck. finally after many tries and searching I was able to configure the remote controller buttons to work with XBMC even the red-green-yellow and blue buttons.
the remote use the generic HID driver " USB Input device" not use the Microsoft MCE driver, so any steps or setting to configure mce remote through Registry will not work.
Here are the steps to get all the buttons work:
1- download the latest version of Eventghost it comes with the xbmc plugin.
2- start new configuration and delete every thing under configuration tree- leave only the Autostart.
3- add plugin from remote menu Generic HID- from the window device name u will find 4 of MCE USB IR Receiver - Spinel Plus- select the first one - then and the plugin again and select the 2nd one - repeat until u add all of them (4): this important because the remote use each driver to control group of buttons .
4 - add the plugin Keyboard ( because some buttons like numbers are emulation keyboard keys).
5 - now if u press any button u will see at left window the key code for each button - check all the buttons to make sure that u got the plugins all works for all buttons .
6 - now we are ready to assign keys to XBMC - on right window add folder and name it any thing - like xbmc .
7 - while the folder is selected add micro and select from the menu XBMC2 - buttons - then the action u want (for example the button "info")
8 - now the micro "Xbmc- info will be in the right window" press on the remote control the "I" button - and u will see the code in left window - Drag it to the micro XBM-info.
9- repeat the steps for all required keys.
10 - launch xbmc and try the remote - it should work .
The Green start button always runs windows Media center - in my case I removed it from my computer and I used EVENGhost to assign run application xbmc.

A novice here. I've got a zotac ad10 ( with remote control as well ) and installed W7/XBMC.
I've tried to configure the remote control as you did but I wasn't able to configure the "WMC button" to start the XBMC. It's the only one that can't be detected when pushing it by eventghost!!! ( EventGhost 0.4.1.r1568, Apr 05 2012 )
any idea what I'm doing wrong? BTW, I didn't find 4 MCE plugins but 2 in that version of eventghost....
thanks is advance!

Just got an ID04. The IR works, but I can't get EventGhost to see anything. I've added the 4 interfaces you've described and yet nothing is logged. Otherwise it runs great, but i want it to play nice with XBMC =/

really strange......
you have to add the first four items of the "generic HID plugin" and also the keyboard plugin.
are you sure you did so?

Yes, I did. I have resolved it based on earlier conflicts. What I can't seem to fix is the default behavior of the "Windows Green" button. EventGhost sees it as HID.Button.50, but no matter what I do, it always launches WMC. I want it to execute XBMC

i used a easy workaround.......i have renamed the WMC folder (i never use it) so the remote can't recall the WMC and than assigned the central button to my favourite function.

So, i've tried a couple things. I wrote my own program and called it ehshell.exe and put it in ehome while renaming ehshell to ehshell.orig. my app opens with two buttons. one to launch xbmc and the other to launch ehshell.orig. Only problem is Media Center Themer fails to work on ehshell.orig.exe.
Just can't seem it have my cake and eat it too =)

I don't have the same hardware as you guys but I'm using a Dell M2010 Gyration Remote and in device manager the remote component is just listed as "HID - compliant device". I'm running Windows 7 64bit edition.
I've been doing everything I can too, to prevent the "green", "guide", "recorded tv" and "live tv" button from starting WMC. As yet have found no solution that allows me to keep WMC. I still want to have WMC on the computer as it works so well with a USB TV tuner, for everything else i use XBMC and Chrome (because the remote is gyration based).
I'm hoping to assign the keys as follows, but at present everything's mapped to WMC
"Green" button > open WMC
"Recorded TV" > open XBMC
"Guide" > open On Screen Keyboard
"Live TV" > open WMC on EPG gudide
"DVD" > open Chrome
If I figure something out will share with you guys.

I've been searching for weeks for a solution that allows me to 1. keep WMC 2. prevent it from starting anytime any MCE button is pushed (i.e. Green, Live TV, Guide, Recording, DVD). I have a non-eHome remote (Dell M2010 Gyration Remote) so most solutions out there hadn't worked for me. Steps should work for everyone, however note that I'm using Windows 7 64bit.
1. Grant yourself full control to the "c:\windows\ehome\ehtray.exe" file. Here's how http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-t...-in-vista/
2. Rename "ehtray.exe" to "ehtray.exe.bk"
3. Reboot
Doing the above disables the remote service that triggers WMC launch using the MCE buttons. Everytime you wish to use WMC then open up "c:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe" in full screen with eventghost or manually. I tried AutoHotKey, LM Remote and it wasn't until I read the user manual of Intelliremote that I found this method. I read nearly all HTPC forums and even the M2010 remote plugin on this forum didn't resolve my issue.
I've been going mad finding this solution. Anyway, hope it helps someone else out there.

This is update to the instructions provided by baselaa to make it clearer to understand. I'm in no way taking credit for this, just want to make it easier to understand for others
I have a Zotac AD10 running Win7. These instructions should work for all Zotac remotes in a Windows environment
1 - Download Eventghost (http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/) and install it
2 - Run Eventghost
3 - Click File/New
4 - In the right-hand panel you should now just have AutoStart
5 - Right-click on AutoStart in the Right-hand window and pick Add Plug-In
6 - Under Remote Receiver, choose Generic HID and click OK
7 - The next window (you should make this window bigger so you can see), under Settings there will be a list of 4+ entries. You need to find the 4 with the same vendor ID (mine was Vendor ID 1118, 3 input.inf ones and 1 hidserv.inf). Select the 1st one and click OK
8 - Now repeat Steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have all 4 Generic HID with the same Vendor ID entries for the Remote under your Autostart
Now that you added the 4 Generic HID items
9 - Right-click on AutoStart in the Right-hand window and pick Add Plug-In
10- Under Remote Receiver, choose Keyboard and click OK
(so far you should have Autostart, 4 entries for Generic HID and the Keyboard in the Right-hand window)
11 - Now press the buttons on your Zotac remote. In the left-hand window, the program should show you codes for each of the buttons. If it doesn't, then go back thru steps 3-10 because you didn't do something
12 - Now right-click on AutoStart and pick Add Folder
13 - Name the folder whatever you like (in this tutorial I'm going to call it MyXBMC)
14 - Now click on the folder your created in Step 13 to highlight it
15 - Now right-click and click Add Plug-In.
16 - Under Program Control, choose XBMC2 and click OK
17 - At the next window asking for IP and port, hit OK (unless your XBMC is setup other than the defaults)
18 - At the next window, it's asking in what folder would you like to place the plugin. Choose the folder you created in Step 13 (in the instance, I'm going to choose MyXBMC because that is what I called it) and click ok
(now, in your right-hand window, you should have Autostart, with 4 Generic HID Plugins, 1 Keyboard and 1 XBMC2 Plugin, then the Folder you created and under that folder, another folder for XBMC2)
Now to program XBMC to respond to the buttons the way you want
19 - Under XMBC2 folder, open the Actions folder and open the action you want to setup (don't mess with the Buttons folder.. all the buttons are already setup)
20 - Press the button on the Zotac Remote you want to setup. In the left-hand window, drag the button code over to the action you want to run when you press the button
Example - You want to setup the Green Button on the remote to bring up the Context Menu
-Open MyXBMC/XBMC2/Actions/General/Context Menu in the right-hand window
-Press the Green button on the remote, in the left-window you should see HID.Button 91
-Drag HID.Button 91 to the ContextMenu Action on the Right
-So now under MyXBMC/XBMC2/Action/General/ConextMenu you should see HID.Button 91 and XMBC2: ContextMenu
-You can test it by pressing the Green button on the remote and not only should HID.Button 91 show in the left, but also XBMC2: ContextMenu
You can launch XBMC and Test it (note to save time, you can leave XBMC open while you are configuring EventGhost, it will be realtime configuration)
NOTE: You don't have to program EVERY SINGLE action. Most things are already setup in XBMC. Example: The Stop button. Unless you want the button to do something other than what it already does, you don't have to setup the action. Since almost every button already works, I only programmed the actions for Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Info, Guide buttons. All the others, I left alone.
Programming a Button to Launch XBMC (or something else)
Since there is no Action to launch an Application, we have to create one. (I'm assuming you did the 20 steps above to setup the remote and some of the actions/buttons)
1. Click on your folder you created in Step 13 above
2. Right Click the folder and then click Add Macro
3. Under System choose Start Application and click ok
4. Now browse to your .exe, setup and command line aruguments.
5. Click Test to test to make sure it launches the way you want it to
6. Click OK when finished
7. Now click the button on your remote and you should see the code show up in the left window
8. Drag the code over to the Start Program Macro
9. Now when you press that button on your remote, it should launch the program you setup
Example: You want to setup the windows button the remote to launch XMBC in Full Screen Mode (this is assuming you removed Windows Media Center)
-Create a new Macro for System/Start Application which points to XBMC.exe and set the window mode to Full Screen
-Click the windows button on the Zotc remote, in the left-window you should see HID.Button 12
-Drag HID.Button 12 to the Start Program: XMBC.exe macro on the right
-So now under Start Program: XMBC.exe, you should see HID.Button 12 and Start Program: XMBC.exe
-You can test it by pressing the Windows button on the remote and it should launch XBMC
Getting rid of Windows Media Center
If you don't use Windows Media Center, and want to program the Windows button and the guide button to do something, you are going to get rid of media center
1. Click Start/Control Panel/Programs and Features
2. On the left side, click 'Turn Windows Features On/Off'
3. Open the Media Features then uncheck Media Center and click ok
4. This will remove WMC (might require a reboot)
Hope this helps

Thanks a lot larock0wns and baselaa, I'm using an AD04 with the Zotac remote and your instructions have been extremely helpful for getting this to work with EventGhost and XBMC!
Actually it solved 99% of the stuff I'd like to have when running XBMC, and I'd like to ask you or whoever has the knowledge and reading this thread:
I have uninstalled MCE as instructed and now obviously Media Center is not starting anymore when pressing the green windows button. That is very good and I don't need Media Center at all.
However there are still some buttons that do other stuff.
For example the mute button for me results in "HID.Button.23" which is fine, but also "System.Mute '100,00'" (or "System.UnMute '100,00'").
The same with the Volume +/. keys and the * and # keys each seem to result in 3 keyboard presses (fist LShift, then LShift + 8 or 3, then 8 or 3).
And the power off button still puts the system in suspend.
I'd like all this predefined Windows functionality go completely away, can that be done?
Especially at least the mute button should not mute Windows system wide because I only want to use the XBMC muting with this button.
By the way in the Generic HID the 4 devices all show up as "MCE USB IR Receiver - Spinel plus" (Manufacturer PHILIPS) and this was the only part about your instructions I was a bit confused about, I have no Vendor IDs or infs or anything I can see there, only 4 lines with "MCE USB IR Receiver - Spinel plus" and I added the plugin 4 times and set each one to one of the four - seems to work as you described however as I'm getting events for all the buttons, only for the Power Off button I can't see anything because the system shuts down before I can see any event).
Later: What I also do not understand is how XBMC is recognizing the Back button. I have not set this up in EventGhost yet (it just shows "HID.Button.9" when I press it in EventGhost and it is not assigned anywhere) but when I press the button eg when full screen video is playing in XBMC it jumps back to the Video list - I'd like to have it to make a small step back like in OpenElec when I press this button.
Also when assigning the Info key (HID.Button.7 in EventGhost for me) to the General/Info action for XBMC in EventGhost it shows the info BUT when I press the Info button again it doesn't disappear again but it instead is displayed *again* (so this is not like pressing the I key on the keyboard -> it appears, and then when pressing I again -> it disappears). In OpenElec it also worked that way that it appeared on first press ofInfo button but then disappeared on 2nd press of Info button.
Even later: well no one replying, I figured out at least how to prevent the back button go back to the menu:
Edit the XBMC settings in XBMC program folder system/keymaps subfolder and change the this line in appcommand.xml
Apparently it gets the Back via the remote as "browser back" command - but we do not want it to go back to the menu when a video is playing, at least I don't.
Still have to figure out how to use the Info button for Info properly.
Much later: Got the Info thing to work by assigning the HID.Button.7 to the XBMC2/Buttons/Remote/Info instead of XBMC2/Actions/General/Info, now it appears and disappears when I press the Info button the first and the second time.
What's still giving me headaches is how it works in OpenElec that in Full Screen it uses the Back Button in Full Screen as SmallStepBack while otherwise as Back action.
I was able to disable the "inbuilt" Back action as described above and use the SmallStepBack functionality on the button, but as soon as I added the General/Back Action to the button it not only made the smal step back, but also used the back action and jumped back to the video list.
Apparently the "Full Screen" actions do not override the "General" actions but are only sent additionally!?
I wonder how they were able to do it in OpenElec!?
For now I went the way of not putting the Back action on the back button but SmallStepBack in FullScreen and Parentfolder in General (because Parentfolder won't do anything in Full Screen).
Additionally I disabled the Skip Previous button in appcommand.xml and set this one to the Back action (it is located right next to the Back button on the Zotac remote and these previous/next track actions are useless when using XBMC for videos ayway, mabe more interesting for music, but I use it 99,99% for videos).
Still I'd like to know how they did that in OpenElec?

For the back button functionality, edit the keyboard.xml file:
under <FullscreenVideo> section
change the <backspace>Fullscreen</backspace> to <backspace>SmallStepBack</backspace>
Since XBMC interprets remote commands as a keyboard stroke for a lot of it's functions, this should work. I'm not sure if it works with eventghost.

"Frack Off" - Statement from MANA Leader Hone Harawira
Statement from MANA Leader and MP for Te Tai Tokerau
Hone Harawira
"Frack Off"
Wednesday 28th November
Yesterday the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment released a report titled "Evaluating the Environment Impacts of Fracking in New Zealand".
Dr Wright highlighted a number of concerns about the
practise of fracking including that current regulatory
measures are inadequate.
Maori throughout the country have expressed major concerns about opening up our seas and land to oil companies. Most, if not all of those concerns, are centred around fracking.
From Te Whanau a Apanui, to Ngai Tahu, to my neck of the woods in Nga Puhi, I have not heard one Maori say they support fracking.
threat of contaminating underground water or even worse,
causing earthquakes, is too great a risk for Maori and many
MANA support the Greens call for a moratorium on the practise and urges Dr Wright to tell the government and oil companies to "frack off!" until they can prove it is safe and the government gets its act together with proper regulation and monitoring.

In the wake of the controversy involving President Barack Obama's address at the University of Notre Dame's 2009 commencement, some U.S. bishops and Catholic university presidents are preparing for a dialogue aimed at reaching a consensus about speakers on their campuses. The board of directors of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities has said that they would like to see the U.S. bishops revisit their 2004 statement Catholics in Political Life, which declared it inappropriate for Catholic institutions to honor or provide a platform to someone who holds positions contrary to the teachings of the church. Two bishops attending the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' spring meeting in San Antonio told The National Catholic Reporter June 17 they also see a need for dialogue with the U.S. Catholic university presidents about this issue, and that all parties should perhaps revisit the bishops' 2004 statement.
Dialogue Sought in Wake of Controversy
This article also appeared in print, under the headline "Dialogue Sought in Wake of Controversy," in the July 6, 2009 issue.

CLAREMONT - The City of Claremont transmitted an offer to Golden State Water Company for more than $54 million on Tuesday for its Claremont assets, city officials said in a news release.
"The offer made by the City is based on an inspection of the Claremont water system and an independent appraisal that was prepared in accordance with State law and accepted appraisal procedures," said Claremont mayor Larry Schroeder in a statement. "The offer made to Golden State Water is for the full amount of the current fair market value of the utility system and its assets."
Golden State Water Co. is in a pitched battle with customers in Claremont, Barstow and Apple Valley and other Southern California communities over large rate hikes.
Golden State submitted a rate increase application to the California Public Utilities Commission seeking a more than 24 percent increase in 2013 with additional increases in 2014 and 2015, Claremont officials said in the release. The PUC enables private water companies to receive a rate of return on its investment.
"Our council remains committed to ensuring that Claremont ratepayers are treated fairly when it comes to water service and rates," said councilman Opanyi Nasiali in a statement. "As we move forward, city staff will continue to evaluate and examine a variety of options to cost-effectively manage and finance the potential water system purchase."
The offer to Golden State, according to the release, has a state-mandated provision allowing them to be reimbursed up to $5,000 if they choose to have a separate independent appraisal conducted.
Information on California's eminent domain process was included in the offer, according to the release, but the water system appraisal and offer made to the water company does not trigger the eminent domain process that requires separate council authorization.
The council unanimously approved making an offer to Golden State Water Company based on the appraisal, according to the release, and the company provides services to Claremont and small portions of nearby cities Upland, Montclair, Pomona and unincorporated Los Angeles County.
"Today is an excited day for current and future generations of water users in Claremont," said councilman Joe Lyons in statement. "I believe that decisions regarding water rates and system maintenance should be made locally, not by corporate executives interested only in maximizing the rate of return for private investors."

Q: Making a billion toys using nothing but a little workshop full of elves with primitive tools?
A: Some of the stuff falls off Wal-Mart trucks.
Q: According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, only 40.3 percent of homes in the U.S. have fireplaces -
A: Look, you seem bent on disproving my existence. How did you do in math in school?
Q: Hovered around the D mark.
A: You can't grapple with quadratic equation and now you want me to explain how the universe works? Kids tell me what they want, I get it to them in a timely and efficient manner. I don't get any hate mail from children. That's all you need to know.
Q: How come you're so fat?
A: Every time you ask me a stupid question your sister makes me a plate of cookies.
Q: How do you appear at so many shopping malls at the same time?
A: Mmmm. Macadamia white chocolate chip this time!
Q: How do you get along with Baby Jesus?
A: I'd describe our relationship as cordial. We don't really hang out with the same people.
Q: You are a saint, however, when you're in your "jolly" St. Nick incarnation.
A: Yeah, it's kind of an honorary thing. Like "Colonel" Sanders and "Speaker" Boehner. I didn't have to perform any miracles or anything. I think it was mostly an award for increasing the awareness of Christmas.
Q: Do you see me when I'm sleeping? Do you know when I'm awake?
A: Yes. I've seen you take bites out of the brownies your children leave by the fireplace every year. You think I want to eat a brownie that you've taken a bite out of? You even throw out the celery sticks that were meant for my reindeer.
Q: Can you name all the reindeer?
A: Comet, Blitzen, Cupid.... Let's see. Sneezy, I think, is one. Doc, Zeppo...NyQuil...
Q: That's OK, I don't know them, either. How about "The 12 Days of Christmas." Has anyone ever sent you a letter asking for lords a-leaping?
A: I still get a lot of golden-ring requests. And ladies dancing. People like to give the drummers-drumming and the pipers-piping as gag gifts.
Q: Dogs or cats?
A: At home we have dogs. Mostly huskies, but we got a Portuguese water dog after Obama got one. On the road, I'm more of a cat person. Dogs will just tear up a guy who suddenly appears in their house. I have to give them a treat to shut them up. I use the cookies I get from guys like you.
Q: If you give my children all their presents at Christmas, why do so many charges appear on my credit card?
A: There's a host of associated charges: Fuel, administrative costs, "handling," breakage, spillage, insurance fees, feed, permits. Those will all show up on your credit card as "Target," "Amazon," and "Cool Little Shop on Fourth Street." Plus, a lot of those gifts are given by my family members who think it's OK to put "From Santa" on the gift tags. I really only bring two or three things per kid. Otherwise there's not enough wormholes in the universe to get it all out in one night.
Q: Have I been naughty or nice this year?
A: Let me put it this way: You're not getting the boat you wanted. You will get a nice pair of slacks, though.

Pre-convention Clinton smears
On the eve of former President Bill Clinton's primetime address at the Democratic National Convention -- and in the aftermath of the release of the 9-11 Commission report as well as disclosures that the FBI is investigating Clinton national security adviser Sandy Berger for the removal of classified documents from the National Archives -- conservative commentators used the Berger investigation to attempt to smear Clinton and his administration's efforts to combat terrorism; some suggested that, in removing Archives documents, Berger was trying to cover up information that would be embarrassing to the Clinton administration.
While journalists and pundits have been quick to jump on the rumor that Berger put documents in his pants and/or his socks, as Media Matters for America documented [1] on July 23, little has been said about the July 19, CBS report [2] stating that "law enforcement sources say they don't expect charges to be filed" against Berger.
On Sunday, conservative pundits also attempted to revive speculation that, notwithstanding the Clintons' prominent participation in the Democratic National Convention -- Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) will be introducing her husband -- and notwithstanding their strong expressions of support for the Democratic ticket, both favor the Democrats' defeat in November to clear a path for Senator Clinton to run for president in 2008.
On the July 25 edition of FOX Broadcasting Company's FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace [3], William Kristol [4], editor of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard, and host Chris Wallace made the link between the Berger incident and alleged failures of the Clinton administration, offering their utterly unsupported speculation about Berger's motives. Kristol and Wallace suggested that, despite the 9-11 Commission's insistence that they had "access to all the materials we [they] need[ed] to see to do our [their] report [1]," Berger was covering for the Clinton administration:
KRISTOL: It may be that he took every copy in the White House files, which may have had handwritten notes from himself, presumably, or others in the White House all the way up to the president responding to things that are in the printed document. So it's not correct to say that there are copies of what Sandy Berger took away elsewhere.
He seems to have been very purposeful in taking all the copies in these files, these White House files, all the copies he could find of this particular memorandum.
WALLACE: So what you're saying is he's basically trying to cover either his tracks or Bill Clinton's tracks?
KRISTOL: I think that is a plausible conclusion based on what we now know.
While many commentators have offered their own suppositions regarding what materials Berger might have taken, as Media Matters for America documented [1] on July 23, the commission itself insisted that it had all the materials it needed; Kristol's "plausible conclusion," then, must rest on the premise that the commission is not telling the truth.
Kristol's and Wallace's comments on FOX News Sunday echoed the sentiments of a July 23 New York Sun [5] editorial that decried the "Clinton-Berger administration" as having failed to understand the threat posed by terrorism; their comments also echoed the sentiments of right-wing radio host Sean Hannity [6], who seized upon the Sun editorial -- reading it in its entirety on air -- on his July 23 program to suggest that Berger's actions in the National Archives were designed to conceal the Clinton administration's response to Al Qaeda. The Sun asserted that because of the ongoing impeachment scandal, Clinton "was a preoccupied president." Yet, despite the Sun's and Hannity's assertions, no evidence in the public record supports their shared theory that Clinton was too distracted to address terrorism; indeed, The New York Times reported [7] on July 25 that, when comparing the Clinton and Bush responses to Al Qaeda, while "[n]either comes off well, [...] the report seems to portray Mr. Clinton as better informed and more engaged than Mr. Bush."
On the July 25 edition of NBC's The Chris Matthews Show [8], guest Paul A. Gigot [9], The Wall Street Journal's editorial page editor, suggested that Berger "was probably trying to protect something, an embarrassment from the Clinton years":
MATTHEWS: What is behind this [Sandy Berger] weirdness?
GIGOT: I mean, that's the key question -- the motive. It looks like he was taking documents -- he took the same one twice -- so it's hard to see if it was inadvertent, but you know, maybe-- it looks to me like he was probably trying to protect something, an embarrassment from the Clinton years.
The Chris Matthews Show's guests and its host [10] also smeared the former president -- and Senator Clinton -- more explicitly in the context of the couple's participation in the convention. Gigot, BBC News correspondent Katty Kay [11], and Matthews expressed skepticism over the strength of the Clintons' support for Senator John Kerry's presidential bid. Matthews returned to his almost obsessive speculation [12] that the Clintons favor a Kerry loss in November to clear the path for Senator Clinton to run in 2008:
MATTHEWS: Does Bill really want John Kerry to win?
KAY: I think that deep in his heart, the Clintons think that the best thing for the country is a Hillary Clinton presidency. [crosstalk] I think there's room for the possibility that that means waiting.
GIGOT: Hillary is ambivalent about the victory of John Kerry.
MATTHEWS: Don't you all think on this panel that Hillary Clinton's showing she really doesn't want Kerry to win whereas Bill is much harder to read?
KAY: I go with the theory that they're ambivalent about it, that deep in their hearts the Clintons want a Hillary Clinton presidency. If that is advanced by having John Kerry lose this time, then I think there is a part of them that's thinking, well that wouldn't be so bad.

Which is the best way to save for your child's education? Some answers about 529s and 401(k)s.
When you have kids, the years begin to flash by in a blur that begins with diapers and moves quickly to college preparation.
For those parents who can afford to save for their kids' college tuition, the investment options available depend on each family's personal situation. For some, a 529 plan makes the most sense, while for others, withdrawing from their 401(k) is a more logical step. The one you choose will depend on your financial situation and your kids' likelihood to attend college.
"It's a tricky question, which one to choose," says Michael McCloskey, assistant professor in the Department of Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management at Temple University's Fox School of Business. "The 401(k) is essentially a tax-deferring savings tool that allows people to save money for retirement. After age 59½, you can start taking money out and use it for anything you like, including your child's education, at which point you are taxed at today's rate of income."
By contrast, the 529 plan, as long as it is used toward your child's college education, never gets taxed. Should your child opt out of going to college, you have the option of using the money for something else — but you pay tax on those funds as well as a 10 percent penalty.
"Which plan is better depends on how confident you are that your child will use that money towards tuition," McCloskey says. "But with the 529 plan, depending on your income tax bracket, you're saving between 10 and 40 percent in tax shelter benefits. So you have to weigh that against the risk of your kid going to college. If they don't go, some of the benefits of the 529 are eroded."
How much money you plan to save will also affect your choice of plan. The two plans have very different contribution limits, says Jacqueline Volkman Wise, an assistant professor in the same department at Temple University and instructor of a course on retirement plans.
In 401(k)s, the maximum annual contribution for an individual is $17,500, not including any employer contributions, and if you're over 50, you can add another $5,500. But you can put a lot more away in a 529 plan, she says.
That can present a problem if it turns out you don't need all the money you socked away in your 529 plan, though. "If you don't use all the money for college, you'll pay taxes on withdrawals that aren't used for educational purposes," Volkman Wise says. "That means, effectively, that you'd be taxed twice, because the money was deposited after tax, and the withdrawal would be taxed too. Parents need to be cautious of not overshooting what they think their kids' tuition expenses will be, though if they chose to go back to school themselves, the 529 plan funds can be put towards a parent's" tuition, too.
The right plan for your family will depend, in part, on when you begin saving for your kids' tuition. "Think about this when your kid is born and you have 18 years to save for college, but if you only start to consider the options when your kid is age 12, you have much less time to save," she says.
"It's one of those things where you want to sit down with an adviser to see what your best option is."
Steve Cagnassola, president of Complete Future Planning in Netcong, N.J., advises his clients not to use the funds in their 401(k) for their kids' tuition because the cost to liquidate their account or borrow from it can be quite expensive.
"While most parents will qualify for financing for their children's college loans, there is no loan available to fund their retirement," he says.
But 529 plans can also be problematic, he warns. "They're stock market-based, which means they rise and fall with whatever the stock market is doing. They have a propensity to lose value when you need them most."
That happened to several clients at a seminar Cagnassola gave on college planning in 2009. "Several of the participants informed me that the stock market had ruined their kids' education savings," he recalls. "They went from having nearly three years of funding for their kids' education — almost $150,000 — to losing half of it because of the stock market turn. That meant they only had a year-and-a-half's" worth of savings "to satisfy their kids' education."
A safer bet, in his opinion, is using the Index Universal Life Insurance. "It builds cash values based on changes in the S&P 500 index, which gives parents the ability to save for their child's education and their retirement at the same time," he says. "Any gains earned are credited and locked in, so parents cannot lose in the event of a stock market downturn.
"Plus, if a parent or guardian dies prematurely, their family would receive a tax-free, lump sum death benefit, typically 5 to 10 times more than they would receive from the 529 or 401(k) plan."
Cagnassola says plans are usually custom designed according to clients' goals, whether focused on saving for their children's education or for their own retirement. "We build a plan that accomplishes the maximum cash value accumulation while minimizing the death benefit," he explains. "For example, a female, age 35, who wants to set aside $10,000 for her daughter's education, could have a face amount of $450,000 and projected cash value of $342,000 at her child's 18th birthday."

Couples facing life-altering obstacles can get a free trip to the altar, plus a reception for 100 wedding guests.
A new nonprofit, Wish to Wed, grants matrimonial dreams to couples who otherwise might not be able to tie the knot.
"It is for couples facing a terminal illness or hardship," said co-founder Sarah Swanson, an Arlington wedding planner. "Everything is provided free."
All the key wedding vendors are lined up, ready to go.
There's only one thing missing.
"We're trying to find a couple," Swanson said, owner of EVENTful Moments.
She started Wish to Wed with Snohomish friends Tracy Stocker, owner of Hidden Meadows and Trail Side Wedding and Events, and Laineemeg Bridal shop owner Zerlinda Lochtie.
"Some people get discouraged," Swanson said. "Everything is so expensive, they just assume they can't have a wedding. There is hope."
The service will provide the gown, tux, venue, deejay, officiant, stylist, cake, caterer, photographer and flowers. Alcohol and honeymoon aren't included.
The wedding date is up to the couple.
"Sometimes you have to rush it," Swanson said. "We can pretty much throw it together in a week."
More time would be better. She'd like to find at least one couple to marry in 2014 to give them the full planning treatment.
The weddings can be at Stocker's venues or, if necessary, they'll host a wedding at a medical facility.
"Wherever it needs to be done, we'll make it happen," Swanson said.
It is open to adult couples of all genders, ages and afflictions.
"The priority are couples with terminal illness," Swanson said. Other situations will be considered.
Other Wish to Wed volunteers include: Formals &Frills; Otto-Matic Mobile Music; Flowers by Tiffany; Lady Yum; Simply Sweet Cupcakes; Mandy Stocker, officiant; Kaylee Eylander Photography; Salon Zuberenz; NW Makeup Artistry; and Rare Form Limousine.
A "Food, Booze &Bad Dance Moves" fundraiser will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. April 19 at Trail Side Wedding and Events, 511 Maple Ave, Snohomish. The cost is $40 for dinner and drinks.
The proceeds will go for start-up costs and extras, such as bridesmaid dresses.
"All of the money raised will go toward couples," Swanson said.
"We are ready for them. We just have to find them."

Tinkerer Squeezes Windows 7 Onto Pentium II System

Hacker is eager to push the new OS onto a Pentium system next
Microsoft recently
released a tool
that suggests to users whether or not to upgrade to Windows 7, Microsoft's hot new OS. However, it appears that the actual hardware requirements may be much lower than Microsoft's suggestions if you have enough determination.
A user on
The Windows Club
's forum has cooked up the
ultimate low-end Windows 7 setup
. The user who goes by "hackerman1" has managed to squeeze a working, bootable Windows 7 install onto a machine with a blazing fast 266 MHz Pentium II processor, a whopping 96 MB of SDRAM memory, and a high-tech 4 MB video card.
The enthusiast first used 128 MB of RAM, then pushed the total down to 96 MB. A subsequent push for 64 MB proved too much -- Windows 7 needs at least 96 MB to function properly.
Not to be content, the user is now working on a new setup, trying to install Windows 7 on a Pentium I machine featuring a 166 MHz CPU paired with a 1 MB graphics card. He's also considered trying to make the new fancy graphics wrapping -- Aero -- work on the Pentium II setup.
Don't expect a quick install, though -- a Pentium III-based system install took 17 continuous hours, and the Pentium II install likely took much, much more. The Pentium III based system boots in a mere 17 minutes.
While perhaps not very practical, hackerman1's quest/obsession with putting Microsoft's newest on some rather outdated hardware provides a nice illustration of the new OS's smaller footprint. The new OS is reported to have consolidated processes, lowered memory requirements, and reduced install size from Windows Vista, allowing it to be
installed on netbooks
and other non-Vista-ready machines.

Cloyd earns sixth win in gem for 'Pigs
Phillies prospect goes seven innings, Mitchell plates four
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | May 10, 2012 2:33 PM ET
The Phillies' 18th-rounder from 2008 improved to 6-0 overall this season with his third Triple-A win, holding Indianapolis to a run on three hits over seven innings in Lehigh Valley's 5-1 road win at Victory Field.
Cloyd, who turns 25 next week, struck out six and walked one to win his third straight start for the IronPigs since being promoted May 5 from Double-A Reading. He threw 69 of his 104 pitches for strikes and also hit a batter before B.J. Rosenberg worked the final two frames, allowing two hits.
Cloyd worked out of trouble in the first when he loaded the bases thanks to a single, walk and hit batter but struck out Jordy Mercer to end the frame. He settled in, retiring the next 13 batters, until the Indians finally broke through with a run in the sixth on Jake Fox's sacrifice fly.
Derrick Mitchell knocked home four of Lehigh Valley's runs, going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in the second off Indianapolis starter Jeff Locke, his third longball of the season. Cody Overbeck doubled, tripled and scored a pair of runs for the 'Pigs, who snapped a three-game losing streak.
Cloyd began the season at Lehigh Valley -- he tossed six perfect innings in the IronPigs' season opener April 5 -- but was reassigned and went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four starts in the Eastern League, striking out 20 in 25 innings. He returned to the International League a month later when he went seven frames to beat Syracuse on May 5. At Triple-A, he's allowed just two runs and has 17 strikeouts in 20 frames. Cloyd joins D-backs stud prospect Trevor Bauer and four others in a tie for the Minor League lead with six wins.
Locke (3-2) was charged with five runs on nine hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings to suffer the loss, ending his scoreless innings streak at 16.
Pirates top prospect Starling Marte missed his fourth straight game for Indianapolis and remains day-to-day with a hand injury.

The Farmington AddendumThursday, June 29th, 2006
For those of you who asked…
Here are some more of the photos I made at the Farmington Antique Motorcycle event. Wandering around the grounds on Friday afternoon, I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the machinery on display. In the limited time I had, there was no way to stop and chat with all the owners to learn all about each and every incredible motorcycle I visited. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are several thousand for you to savor. I hope you enjoy them.
For those who don't know… roll over the thumbnail with your mouse to see the caption. Then click on it to see the ~800 x 600 image.
