Installation Guide
Table of contents
Due to some limitations in Windows Installer and the architecture of MPExtended and WebMediaPortal, the installation is a bit complex at this time. Please follow the installation guide to install
If you already have an earlier version of WebMediaPortal installed, you don't have to do anything special. Download the installer from our site, and execute it. Everything should be handled automatically.
If you are upgrading from 0.4.x, the user accounts you have created in WebMediaPortal will be deleted. Instead, you can now log in with the user accounts created in the standalone configuration program. The default login is username 'admin' and password 'admin'.
Fresh installation
MPExtended depends on the full .NET 4 framework, which you can download from the Microsoft site.
Install IIS Express
IIS Express is the webserver used by WebMediaPortal. It is available as a free download from Microsoft for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
- Download IIS Express from the Microsoft site
- Install IIS Express
Install MPExtended Services
WebMediaPortal gets its data from the MPExtended services, so you have to install it too. If you are using a multiseat setup, you have to install these on a different computer. See the installation guide of the services for more details.
Install WebMediaPortal
Finally, you can install WebMediaPortal.
- Download the installer from our site.
- The installer should be fairly straight-forward.
- When installation is completed, the webinterface should be running at http://localhost:8080/.
- By default, you can login with the username 'admin' and password 'admin'. You can create new accounts and delete the default account in the MPExtended Configuration program.
- If you use a multiseat setup, you can configure the install location of the services under the Settings menu too.

I know the title sounds brutle and a little un called for but I really have a hard time getting along with one of my brothers. He is 17 and a total know it all, self centered, hot thing ( or so he thinks ) Him and i will get along great and then it all hits the fan.
YEsterday I had a great day at work! I got a raise, a promotion and even spoke with the Vp of mydepartment (that never happens) I was on cloud nine and totally excited to be amking more money and being appreciated for all the hard work I do, I love my job and it was nice to be noticed for a day because sometimes I feel half of the people don't see me or even know my name. So I called my mom all excited to tell her the news and she states that we need to go and celebrate I couldn't have agreed more, I haven't done something fun in a really long time. So we planned on going to the drive in eating junk food and having a great time. Well when I get off work I walk outside and its Raining!! Of course nothing goes as plan. So i head to my parents and we cancel the drive in plans and I kept trying to come up with something fun to do but everything I offered my mom had something bad to say or she didnt want to do it. So my brother was all take me to a movie and we can hang out 9 first off very random, him and I never do anything fun and we rarely hang out together) So i thought cool this will be a good time to hang out and enjoy each other. Boy was I WRONG!! We find a time to go and he goes to get ready and knowing my brother that can take an hour so I gave him a time to be ready by and waited for him to come back upstairs. I am a persona that hates to be late. I HATE to have to stress about time and lines and not finding a seat. So ten minutes before the movie is suppose to start he is still getting ready!! GRRR So i yelled at him to come upstairs so we could leave and he just flipped calling me mean names yelling telling me to leave go alone I am not wanted. So I left upset and crying. So much for a good night of celebrating. i went for a drive to cool down and I get a text from him, saying I need to get over myself stop being so pissy and to not come back home since I am JERK!! WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! What makes him think he can talk to me like that!! So I go back to my parents get my stuff, tell me mom I am leaving and heading back to my place. She chases me outside and I take off. She then decides to text me and the whole thing just turned into a big mess. I cried the whole way home and I was so upset my mom knows we don't get along and due to some hangups I have with my brother he always knows what to say to hurt me. He likes to do it to. And in a way I always get upset that my mom or dad never stick up for me. They just sit there, and every time it breaks my heart a little more. So I have decided I am going to stay away from him. I am done letting him hurt me, I am done trying to change who I am for him because who I am is a good person. He has always been about himself and been about using people. I have come to find out I have lost my place with my family and things wont be the same I will always love them but this is what I need to do for MYSELF |

Clint Black
Clint Black
A country music traditionalist from Texas, Clint Black was one of the first artists to kick-start the mass-market popularity of country in the '90s. Black is also one of the first artists of a generation that was equally inspired by rock-oriented pop -- like '70s singer/songwriters and '60s rock & roll -- as well as country artists like Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, and George Jones. He offered a shiny, marketable version of traditional country and in the process paved the way for a new generation of country artists, particularly Garth Brooks. After Brooks broke through into the pop mainstream, Black's career began to fade somewhat, but he remained one of the most popular and acclaimed vocalists of the '90s.

This is the strikingly obvious crack system just around the corner to the right of "Resolution". It is thinner, steeper, and more difficult than it looks. While you can generally lace it up with thin gear, expect to develop a major pump. Three stars for great movement, continuity, involved sequences, and good holds. The VS rating comes from a pair of bowling ball sized blocks hanging in the crack at 2/3 height, and the 5' high detached flake precariously balanced on a 3" ledge at the top. You don't need to touch these features, but you'll need to be very careful to avoid them. 30 seconds with a crowbar and a fixed anchor on top would make turn it into a user-friendly classic.
Wires, TCUs, cams to 1.5".
david, your problem with redundancy stems from your reliance on Hubble's guidebook. The thing is, ever since he started publishing guides, Peter would name any crack that looked climbable, without knowing if it had actually been done. The name of his first book was The Brown Book of Lies. Alan was good to warn folks of the loose block problem with the X rating. Alan Nelson was also the best thing that ever happened to climbing in Golden. I led this myself in 1991. If he wanted to name the route Thin Crack, then I'm down with that! Since Alan died last December your blog makes you look like the kind of guy who likes to kick people when they are down. Are you really that kind of guy? Remove your comment and then I'll take this off too.
I put up Jell-o Brand Napalm which certainly was not 11 or X - but I could not swear, using this description, that it is the route in question.

by VEG-HEAD on FEBRUARY 13, 2010 - 13 Comments in SELF-SUFFICIENCY
There are now over four million active preppers in the US – meaning that this middle-class "survivalism lite" movement far outnumbers the Tea-Party protesters, estimated at about one million members. Self-doctoring, laying down food supplies, and a "bug-out" location where friends can meet if things go bad, are the main preparations being made by preppers.
Both preppers and tea-partyists are disillusioned, alienated or just plain angry at the way society is run,and both are dominated by middle class families which have the most to lose in the event of a major calamity – whether economic or physical. But it is the prepper movement, repeatedly covered in previous articles on Off-Grid.net, which is growing fastest.
Prepper Web sites advise readers on such matters as the best chickens to rear and other aspects of survivalism.
Mother-of-three Tess Pennington, 33, lives outside Houston, Texas. She is not taking the safety of her suburban existence for granted. Pennington is learning how to grow her own food, has stored emergency rations in her home and is taking courses on treating sickness with medicinal herbs.
"I feel safe and more secure. I have taken personal responsibility for the safety of myself and of my family," Pennington said. "We have decided to be prepared. There all kinds of disasters that can happen, natural and man-made." Preppers believe that it is better to be safe than sorry and that preparing for disaster – be it a hurricane or the end of civilisation – makes sense.
Unlike the 1990s survivalists, preppers come from all backgrounds, live all over America and want to livein communities after "the big one" rather than retreating into a solitary bunker. They are just as likely to be found in a suburb or downtown loft as a remote ranch in the mountains. Prepping networks, which have sprung up all over the country in the past few years, provide advice on how to prepare food reserves, how to grow crops in your garden, how to hunt and how to defend yourself. There are prepping books, online shops, radio shows, countless blogs, prepping courses and prepping conferences.
John Milandred runs a website called Pioneer Living, which is one of the main forums for discussing prepping. It provides a range of advice for those who just want to store extra food in case of a power cut, to those who want to embrace the "off the grid" lifestyle of America's western pioneers. "We get inquiries from people from all walks of life. We had a principal from a school asking us to talk to their children. We have doctors and firemen and lawyers," he said.
Milandred lives in Oklahoma and, should society collapse around him, he is well placed to flourish. Indeed, he might not notice that much. His house has a hand-dug well that gives him fresh water. He grows his own food. He has built an oven that needs neither gas nor electricity. He can hunt for meat. "If something happened, it really would not affect us," he said.
There are several reasons for the rise of prepping. The first is that, in the post-9/11 world, mass terror attacks have become a fear for many Americans. At a time when US diplomacy is focused on preventing Iran getting nuclear weapons and terror experts continue to warn of "dirty bombs" on American soil, it is no surprise that many Americans feel threatened. Added to that paranoia has come the recession. Suddenly, millions of Americans have been losing their jobs and their homes, reinforcing a feeling that society is not as stable as it once seemed.
Hollywood has caught on. A succession of films, such as 2012, The Road, The Book of Eli and Legion, have tapped into an American Zeitgeist that is worried about the end of civilisation.
"Prepping masks a wide range of stances and ideologies. But the more people are prepared, the more they are likely to have an apocalyptic way of thinking," said Professor Barry Brummett, of the University of Texas-Austin.
Even government officials have accepted that the financial crisis posed a threat to social order. In recent testimony before Congress, treasury secretary Tim Geithner admitted that top-level talks had been held on whether the US could enforce law and order in the wake of a collapse of the financial system.
Certainly, Tom Martin agrees. He runs the American Preppers Network, which helps provide a wide range of resources. Martin, a truck driver who lives in Idaho, believes that more and more people will become preppers. "Millions of people now have the mindset that they want to be prepared for something, but don't know what to call it," he said.
That rings true with Pennington. In the 1990s, survivalism was the province of anti-government militiamen or loners in the woods. But preppers are more concerned with stocking up on food and water and relearning skills so that they can fend for themselves.
To that end, Pennington has set up a website called Ready Nutrition, which teaches basic food skills to prepare for a time when pre-packaged goods at a supermarket might not be available: "Prepping is not taboo, like survivalism. There is no negative connotation to it. We are not rednecks. In many ways, our ancestors were preppers. So were the Native Americans. It is just going back to being able to look after yourself."

While I love reading about other preppers, and I am sure happy to see this "movement" becoming more mainstream with more and more people doing it, I cringe when I see the media stating first and last names and the locations of these preppers, what do you think will happen if/when the worst happens? The people who weren't prepared will go looking for those who were prepared, forcing those who were prepared to make some hard decisions, either share what they have and put their families at risk of not having enough, or having to protect what they so carefully prepared for.
Does that make me a selfish person? Well, when it comes to my family, your right, I am selfish, I want my family to survive, that's EXACTLY why I (and any other preppers) prepped in the first place.
Perhaps the preppers written about in this and other articles agreed to have their full names and locations used in the article, maybe they didn't think about the consequences of doing that.
I'll go back to my private prepping now, wishing the best for all of us, hoping that none of ever have to experience the worst, hoping for the best for prepping for the worst. - 2 Tom { 02.16.10 at 11:53 pm }
Publishing your name is not something that I would recommend for everyone for the reasons that Wretha states. They asked me my name and I thought about it for a while and wasn't going to do it at first but then I thought if I keep hiding my name, then media will wonder what have I got to hide so I went ahead and did it. I'm not afraid, the government already knows who I am. My neighbors are all prepped and we work together so I do not fear them, as for everyone else who's not prepped, they sure would have a long way to travel just to seek me out, it would be easier for them to steal from some other poor fool. Anyway, someone has to be brave enough to come out in the open to wake others up….I wasn't the first and I wasn't ready to do so, that's why I asked Lisa the Survival Mom if she wanted to. I think she's a hero for doing it, because now tens of thousands more are getting prepared now as a result. Can you imagine the number of lives that will be saved as a result of her doing that newsweek article? Well, I saw that she could do it, so I decided to as well, and John from pioneer living is doing it. If we all come out and make Prepping the new "in thing" then we can change the face of the world. If everyone becomes prepared, then we all can survive any disaster and not have to worry about those who would steal or kill after a disaster.

Ah, I've always been a bit of a prepper, to the point of living for something like 6 years without electricity or heating provided by a company. We used wood heat, wood cook stove, kerosene lanterns, an outhouse, gravity feed water from a spring, and grew a humongous garden. Only worked enough for others to get enough money to keep things like a chain saw, vehicle, and toilet paper going. That was back in the 80′s, so this is not a new thing. In fact, a good percentage of people living around me have done this for generations. They have added electricity, and some use propane for heating these days, but pretty much all have gardens and store food.
It's just a way of life to keep stocked up in supplies. That's the rural way. I'm not a libertarian, conservative, or anywhere on the right politically, but still think it's not a bad idea to try to keep a supply on hand, just in case there's a natural event that cuts us off for a while. After all, growing up where hurricanes come in now and then trains ya that way.

wretha, i completely understand and appreciate your counsel,
i will not publish myself either but i must admit the prepper movementis our best chance yet.if shtc happens, there will be blood and the more are prepared the better. if you really think you are invisible i must say that i very much doubt that.
your ip is not invisible – but that isnt what i am talking about, people who are able to get to you via your ip will not be interested in robbing you – you dont sound as if you had gold bars and jewels
lying around – it is people who live close by,
or will wander close by if thinghs happen,
and some of whom will always turn out to be reptiles.the best thing would be if the preppers founded a party of their own,
turning the us into at least the resemblance of a democracy
(because, with just 2 parties it simply isnt one – it only just
comes close).now for that to happen, but i repeat myself, we need things to get
a lot worse – and believe me, they will.
does anyone really believe we can ever regain the lifestyle
of the 60s to the 2000s, good ole american way of life
all over the planet ?nevermore.
- 5 Wretha { 02.17.10 at 11:44 pm }
longchamp, my biggest wish would be that everyone was prepared for everything possible, but there will always be people who don't think the worst can or will happen, or if it did, then Uncle Big Bro will take care of them. I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Where I live, and I realize this isn't typical of where and how most Americans live, it would be pretty uncommon for the general public to wander in, and in the event of an emergency, especially one where martial law was enacted, where I live would be one of the last places where the masses might flock toward to find help. It wasn't designed that way, but it's how it has turned out, I feel particularly safe here from the "masses" of angry, hungry people, they would have to walk in pretty far over pretty unforgiving terrain to get to me/us, there will be no "wandering near by" of people for us to deal with. Fortunately for me/us, our neighbors, the few we have out here also know about prepping, maybe not on a large scale, but most people out here do have some food, fuel and water put back, it's just how it is here, with the nearest town being 20 miles away (one way), people don't generally get to town very often, so it makes you have to stock up at least a little bit. I'm also not worried about my IP giving anything away, at best it would place me within one of the largest counties in Texas, I have had family and friends try to find me using a GPS with my address, it's not easy, and I like it that way. :)

hi wretha,
yep that does sound okay – i guess you can do that at some
places in the us and canada, in siberia, argentine and australua -
the last great outdoors not infested by woodcutting mafias nor drug mafias nor racist or fundamentalist guerrillas…
i wouldnt dare trying it in africa, for example, though that is
a very beautifuil continent.maybe i should pack my bags and got to patagonia, i am getting
pretty old by now but if it is that feeling of looking around and not seeing any street lights, being able to use the telescope at night and
looking at bursting stars without light pollution…
might be worth it.the ip, okay that is certainly not likely, but the cia could easily
get you that way and i bet they have you on satellite record :)
not that they would have any reason to…
then again, they didnt find mr bad man osama either -
which means, yes i agree – you are probably right !
some hope left, seen this way. - 7 Wretha { 02.20.10 at 2:41 am }
longchamp, I already have several of the alphabet gov agencies following my stuff, it's OK, they know where I am. I'm not hiding from them, so far they haven't created or changed any laws that I would be breaking by living my life off grid, yet… not being paranoid either, they aren't spying on me, they come in the open, leaving their traces openly on my tracker, they aren't hiding, perhaps it's an intimidation game for them, or maybe they are just keeping tabs on me for now.
I will say that I wouldn't want to live in any other country, as messed up as our gov is, it's still the best one around, IMHO. I might be naive, and that's OK too, I'll live my simple life for as long as I can, for now, that's not breaking any laws.
- 8 longchamp { 02.22.10 at 8:41 am }
hey wretha,
i was really just horsing around about the cia etc -
i find it hard to take humanity seriously all of the time -
life is beautiful, god is great -
its a clear blue sky, satellites are out tonight…and governments, sure – they all believe they are doing their
best, and that they are the good (best) guys,
and surely god is on their side.
yours have by now proved that they are no exception.
a tribe within a tribe, within a circle in a spiral.naivety is a general weakness of all
who have no knowledge of what will happen in the future
(which is why one good option is to assume that history
will probably repeat itself) -
this is also why you always find very wise critiques of past events,
while we really are all about the future,
and we are all in it together.so good night, and good luck.

[...] I don't know why I was so late to discover EfoodsDirect, because they are shaking out as one of the premier food storage suppliers in the country. Not only are they popular among Mormons, but they appear to be the favorite of a lot of those gentiles in the aforementioned Prepper movement. [...]
- 10 US Prepper movement explodes | The Flopside { 12.20.10 at 4:04 pm }
[...] There are now over four million active preppers in the US – meaning that this middle-class "survivalism lite†movement far outnumbers the Tea-Party protesters, estimated at about one million members.  Self-doctoring, laying down food supplies, and a "bug-out†location where friends can meet if things go bad, are the main preparations being made by preppers. [...]

Most people these days are Sheep: apathetic, lazy, brainwashed. They say "why are you preparing — nothing's going to happen"
They trust that nothing will happen to warrant preparing. So they don't.
Truly they are grasshoppers and we are ants.
- 12 Jay { 11.23.11 at 9:07 pm }
Anyone know where the "4 million active preppers" figure came from? I assume it came from a survey. Anyone know the company that did the survey? Thank you.

Religion by secular
Religion by secular definition does not require belief IN a higher power to be called a religion; it simply requires firm belief ABOUT a Higher Power. There are several "religious" groups and sects that either do not believe in a Higher Power at all, or who believe that a spiritual power theoretically may exist but is nevertheless excluded from their tradition's spiritual practices, and are in both cases nevertheless called "religious" groups. Some of these groups do engage in "religious" or "spiritual" practices (such as"prayers" in the form of affirmations like "I forgive everyone; all please forgive me.") but these generally exclude the Higher Power or any reference to one that exists. Pure atheism, while not necessarily requiring or following the "religious" or "spiritual" beliefs and practices of those non-theistic "religious" groups which have them, would still fall in the first category.
Rhonda is right.
Well said. You are right on every point. As a deeply religious person and as a teacher, I believe that public schools must be kept secular in order to meet the needs of all children. As you say, when public money is funneled into religious or other charter schools, those children who need the most help, the low-income, the special-needs, and the minority (whether it be racial, religious, or cultural) are left out. We lose the goal of a free and equal public education for all children.
Children with special needs require a large amount of money and support. Public schools provide an excellent education for the money they are given, but the needs of a few increase the average cost for all students. Our school has a student whose educational costs were $30,000 last year. When private/charter schools compare their cost of educating children, they don't have to include the costs of children who need special medical care, aides, and individual instruction. That of course lowers their average cost. When you take the money out of the public schools to help the "elite" educate their children separately, it is the children who need the most help who suffer. We also can't ignore the children whose parents are working two jobs and can't give the support their children need.
The more public money is given to charter and private schools, the more it becomes segregation between those whose parents have the time and money to drive them somewhere else, and those whose parents cannot, along with those whose special needs aren't met at charter/private schools. We will become a country divided along the lines of money and privilege.
Religious education is an important component of parents' responsibility. It is their right to teach their children their own beliefs and values. When you allow religious education to enter the public schools, you automatically leave some children out. There will always be a child in the neighborhood who is not of the dominant religion. That child deserves a fair and equal education.
How about we all learn a bit about the government's laws?
Atheism is the lack of a belief in god. Religion, by definition, requires belief in a higher power. Thus atheism is not religion. Additionally the separation of church and state, as defined by the framers, is being misconstrued. Separation of Church and State means that the government is NOT actively promoting one singular religion. For instance, early Muslim cities (think 1600-1800) did not have separation. They allowed the 'People of the Book' (I.e. Christians and Jews) to live in peace, though if you converted to Islam, you got a tax break. That is actively promoting a single religion.
Now in Public schools theres often some sort of world religions course, or at least its touched upon in history (since religion is a driving factor in world history). Public schools just don't have a class that promotes one religion (unless of course you live in the south and people are idiots and think Intelligent Design is science). Some priviate religious schools don't teach evolution (the more fundamentalist ones like some baptist schools). Mine did, it taught science as fact (actually my AP bio teacher taught us everything creationists and intelligent design people say to evolutionists and how to combat their stupidity. He was awesome)
NOW it is NOT against the the separation of church and state for a child to learn about different religions in a class. I actually think it's a good idea if students learn about other cultures. Its probably the reason theres so many intolerant people in America. However if said teacher said that Catholicism is the one true religion and you must follow it, that violates it and the teacher would probably be fired.
Back to the states
Give education back to the states....please!
Since Atheism is a religion, isn't that religion (or lack of it) what's being taught in our public schools? Just wondering.
It's all about education, period!
Blake is yet another person who kind of misses the whole point of not establishing a religion. Interesting how people like him try to split hairs and say there is no foundation for separation, yet when there is an issue they are for that requires an extra constitutional view, they have no problem discussing what the intent of the "fathers" was, and how important that is. And I wonder how these people would feel about their tax dollars being used to teach buddhism/islam/judaism, you pick the godless heathens.
Religious-leaning charter schools
Do religious-leaning charter schools violate the separation of church and state? It is impossible for them to do so since their is absolutely nothing in our Constitution or its ammendments that establishes a separation of church and state to begin with.
The term "wall of separation between church and state" was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association. Specifically, Jefferson wrote, "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
The First Ammendment to the Constitution simply states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." In other words, Congress won't set up a religion or stop people from practicing their religion.
The "wall of separation between church and state" was a statement made one time by Jefferson in one letter. Period. It is not a part of the law of the United States, just one man's interpretation of what that law meant to him. And it wasn't a denial of religion as the same letter ends with, "I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem."
That said, do I want to trust just anybody with teaching religion to my children. No way. If I don't agree with a school's curriculum I wouldn't send my children there.
Religious-leaning charter schools
Christianity Discussion
Here's my solution to the dilemma. The state should fund religious schools because they teach things like reading, writing, math, etc. However, we don't want to subsidize individual religious indoctrinations. So why don't we just pro-rate it? Fund the the other educational activities... just not the religious instruction? It sound good to me.
Definitely not
No, religious charter schools do not violate the Separation of Church and State (SCS), or at least not what that was supposed to be. SCS is SUPPOSED to give Americans freedom OF religion, not freedom from religion. A school should not be denied public funding because it has a religious leaning.
Also, if parents know that the school has that religious leaning, it is their choice to send their child to that school or to a different one.
Personally, I am in favor of vouchers for education. I attended a private religious high school which does not receive government funding, and I think it is stupid that my parents had to pay taxes for public schools on top of the tuition for my school. That is ridiculous!

Serrano Golf Course and Country Club
The Serrano Country Club is spectacular. Designed by internationally renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the par-72 championship golf course use of the Sierra Nevada rolling hills and natural curves makes the golf game here a unique experience every time - fun and challenging to all levels of play.
The 34,000 square foot clubhouse is distinctive in design specifically situated to enjoy the surrounding views of Folsom Lake and the Sierra Navadas, and the local views El Dorado Hills is so well known for.
Serrano Country Club also offers a fitness facility, spa, two fully lighted tennis courts, a junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, wading pool, elegant dining, and golf shop.
The Serrano Country Club is "private" and not included in the HOA fees. The Serrano County Club has four different club memberships to choose from - the "Golf Membership," the "Associate Golf Membership," the "Sports Membership," and the "Social membership." Each Serrano Country Club membership possesses various benefits to fit the budget and amenity desires of the member. For example, not everyone plays golf. Therefore, the Serrano membership packages that don't include golf would be much more appropriate and cost effective for that member.
Front Yard Landscaping Maintained by HOA
One of the many perks of living in Serrano is that you do not have to worry about maintaining your front yard landscaping. The Serrano landscaping team is constantly on the move taking care of each house, each street, each neighborhood, all the common grounds and parks, with class and style. A true sense of pride is felt when living in Serrano due to the high-quality of landscape service Serrano provides.
Serrano is located on 3500 beautifully oak-studded rolling hill acres located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Serrano includes over 3800 homes, a dozen neighborhood parks, 20 landscaped gated entries, and six miles of landscaped roadways. The landscaping team is a fully staffed department of trained professionals that work with a handful of several different maintenance contractors. This is an amazing array landscaping talent and dedication keeping the Serrano area a breathtaking place to behold.
The weekly Serrano HOA maintenance service includes two different phases of landscape maintenance. First, there is the weekly general maintenance of mowing, blowing, edging and weeding. In addition, every six weeks, a front yard DETAIL service is performed. The detail service includes shrubs, ground cover, trimming, weeding, and irrigation check. Fertilizer is applied aspart of the scheduled maintenance as well.
Needless to say, these special efforts to make Serrano beautiful and unique has paid off. In 2006, Serrano was Voted "Best Maintained Association" by the Community Association Institute/California North Chapter (CAI/CNC) in Sacramento. In addition, in 2007, CAI/CNC awarded Serrano Association of the Year.
Serrano HOA Provides 24 Hour Roaming Security
Another one of the many perks of living in Serrano is that the Serrano HOA provides around the clock 24-Hour roaming security including a 24 hour security hot line. The Serrano El Dorado Home Owner's Association Security plays an important role in the Serrano community by observing and reporting activities that should not be occurring in Serrano, and making their presence known continually throughout the day with 24 hour roaming throughout all the neighborhoods which allows them to be a deterrence for any suspicious activity. In addition, they monitor the neighborhood landscape making sure it stays beautiful to the Serrano standards.
Serrano Security is always eager to help and assist the Serrano residents in any way they can. They will even monitor your home in the event you are away for extended periods of time. All you have to do is fill out a "vacation check request" and turn it into the Serrano Association office. Your home will be monitored frequently. This is a courtesy service and one of the many reasons Serrano is such a special and safe place to live. Serrano HOA Security after hours phone number is (916) 934-0154.
Serrano The Nature Environment
One of the most unique and well known traits about Serrano is its complete and total dedication to the surrounding natural environment it has the privilege to reside. Very few planned unit development neighborhoods make the commitment to keeping over 1000 acres of land dedicated to open space. While additionally creating 17 miles of recreational trails that connect each neighborhood weaving in and out of nature and architecture. You as the explorer will witness open fields, wetlands, creeks, wildflowers and wildlife. Whether you are walking, jogging, or walking your dog, the surroundings will elevate your senses and compliment your active life style.
Serrano Recycled Water
Serrano is one-of-a-kind in its use of recycled water for its front yards, backyards, golf course, and common areas.

In addition, in years past in 1998, Serrano won the "Project of the Year" award from the California Water Use Association.

Your Local Mexican Tienda: Shopping for Maggi
Still on the quest for the perfect Michelada and getting ready to host Cindy and Sue for dinner tonight to recreate our La Olla Oaxaca experience in the humble environs of my kitchen, I ventured out yesterday on Labor Day to the bustling metropolis of downtown Pittsboro, North Carolina, wondering if anything would be open. Perhaps Mexican immigrant shopkeepers don't observe Labor Day, I hoped — just a normal Monday for them. Indeed, Don Pablo Mexican Tienda had their OPEN sign prominently displayed and the few cars on the mostly empty street were parked near the door.
I love the small Mexican market shopping experience. Indeed, there was the Maggi (pronounce it with a hard G), the secret ingredient for successful Micheladas. I knew that somehow substituting soy sauce was just not going to make it. The taste test at home later that afternoon proved me right. I also found limes — big juicy ones — 7 for $1.00. Compare that price with your local major supermarket. Then, there were the ripe bananas, huge beautiful onions, avocados ready for guacamole that very day, and packages of 50 fresh tortillas for $1.25. I picked up the last papaya (it must have weighed 7 lbs) and could smell its succulence. I piled my goodies on the counter in handfulls. There were no shopping carts.
You must like Mexican food, the proprietor commented. Yes, I said. I like Mexicans, too. Oh, that's great, he said. Many people don't want us here. I smiled and answered. Yes, I know.
Natural Dyeing Workshop, Oct. 2, Asheville, NC
Cloth Fiber Workshop in Asheville, NC, will host a one evening natural dyeing workshop with Eric and Janet Chavez Santiago on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008. The brother-sister team from Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico, are fiber artists and rug weavers who color the wool of their rugs using only natural dyes from plant materials and the cochineal bug that grows on the prickly pear cactus. They will demonstrate ancient Zapotec traditional dyeing methods using cochineal, moss and indigo. Eric, who is the coordinator of educational services at the new Museo Textil de Oaxaca, the only museum in Mexico that is devoted exclusively to the exhibition and preservation of textiles, has developed recipes for over 95 different shades of cochineal and has recently been experimenting with dyeing on cotton and silk. Both Janet and Eric are fluent English-speakers.
To learn more about the workshop and to register, please contact Cloth Fiber Workshop directly: 51 Thompson St, Suite D, Asheville, NC 28803, (828) 505-2958

Why are some of you people so intolerant of Christians? What ever happened to tolerance? Does it only work one way? Christians historically have followed the teachings of the Bible which cannot be more clear on the subject of homosexuality. They would be hypocritical to call themselves Christians and reject the teachings of the Bible. The most bigotry today comes from the left. If you don't agree with them, then you are castigated, marginalized and called every name in the book.
We're not intolerant of Christians. We're intolerant of anyone trying to take away the rights of others. We're not trying to take away anyone's rights. You are.

I know I didn't blog about this when I first read about the proposed update, but now that it is real and I can use it, it's definitely worth a mention.
Sun ship a modified version of the panel calendar that supports multiple timezones, very handy when you work in a global organisation and regularly collaborate with people in different timezones.
Admittedly, this doesn't apply too strongly to me in my current role at Sun, but at home, it's very handy to glance quickly and know what time it is in China.
Hopefully Sun will quickly abandon their (in my opinion) third-party changes now that a far superior implementation is available upstream. I present you, the Gnome calendar:


text: I have been coverting Word documents containing tables to PDFs but when viewing the PDFs at various magnifications, the lines of these tables disappear. They print okay and re-appear at various magnification but it's just annoying when you are trying to present a document and the formatting looks erroneous. This issue seems to be a perenial one judging by the amount of posts on the topic on the WWW so I was just wondering if Adobe have been able to do anything about it?

"One of the worst online shopping experience: placed my order for more than $75, they shipped them after 6 business days (March 11), I called them several times and they said processing and kept me waiting for so long. Their staff called me on March 4 about 2 items out of stock, I said just ship the rest and don't wait, then they took 6 business days to pack the stuff. " |

I ordered Sat before Christmas, with 2-day shipping. They called me Tue at ~2:00 PM CDT, but I was just about to board my flight, so I couldn't take the call. I called them at ~10:00 AM MDT the next day. They were out of stock on in the gift basket and were substituting them-without my approval. That wasn't acceptable so I immediately cancelled the order. On Fri, I received a call from them stating that, even though I cancelled the order, it was too late because the order had shipped, with the substitutions. They said it states on their website that they had the right to substitute any of the items without my approval (It must be somewhere in small print because I didn't see anything like that), and I had to pay for the basket anyway--even though I cancelled the order and the rep I spoke with told me it was cancelled on Tue. I will NEVER order anything from them, and I advise EVERYONE to stay away from this company. Horrible customer service. A TOTAL RIPOFF! |

I have ordered my tea from this store for several years now and have always had good service from them. Orders arrive promptly within five days or less using UPS. They have a huge array of teas including loose green teas which is what I buy. My favorite is their Earl Grey green tea with double Bergamot which is hard to find in stores. My other favorite is their "Superior Gunpowder" tea where each leaf is rolled into a tiny ball which makes it so dense that you can use much less in a pot or cup. I highly recommend both of these. The prices are very reasonable and much less than I would pay in my local health food store. Today for a pound each of the above two teas I paid $26.40. They also have some imported British food items including very good Indian curry powders and sauces. The website has a lot of wonderful information about the various teas. I have never had any problem of any kind with English Tea Store and recommend it highly. |

LEVIATHAN By Paul Auster. 275 pp. New York: Viking. $21.
IN the work of the contemporary French photographer Sophie Calle, the everyday rituals of strangers inspire images that reveal anonymous lives as art. For Ms. Calle, spying began as an unorthodox way of reacquainting herself with Paris after a long absence, and she studied the behavior of randomly chosen citizens in order to determine her own. By the time she began recording her observations with a camera, she had parlayed her chance pursuits into a profession: she had become an artist. That her subjects were unaware of her surveillance allowed Ms. Calle to reinvent their identities, and thereby her own.
It is more than politeness that makes Paul Auster preface his seventh novel, "Leviathan," with thanks to Ms. Calle for "permission to mix fact with fiction." This acknowledgment is a clue to Mr. Auster's methodology in a work in which fictional lives are circumscribed by recorded events, and real people shape the destinies of conjured ones. The disparity between reality and its reinvention is choice terrain for artists who seek to seduce their audiences with a sense of familiarity, only to abandon them in unexpected but no less memorable places. Yet if Ms. Calle happened to land here on her journey of self-discovery, Mr. Auster's presence is intentional. He uses hints of the real world to anchor an otherwise implausible tale, and to authenticate the coincidences against which his characters collide.
