Next Steps!! - Denon RS232 Rcvr Issues (Solved Slightly)
August 07, 2008, 02:12:19 pm »
Hey guys,
Now that I have the bugs out. I want to move forward. I have my Denon AVR-988 and I have all the RS-232 commands ready as well as the inputs, outputs and modes documented and then I have my DISH 6000 ready to setup with Myth and the Usbirt. I think I need to do the TV thing quick as the Better half is sick of watching ripped TV re-runs. LOL.
Anyhow - my questions are should I get the Denon up and running first before the STB so the pipes will be in place for input and output for the rcvr, the PVR-150 is already installed and I have the cable plugged into it. Although I cannot see it in the A/V devices for the MD in the living room. I assumed this was because I did not have the STB installed nor the rcvr.
I plan on re-using the Denon AVC1 Template in the system already of which I need to change input and modes as the AVR-988 has more or newer modes as well as another channel for zone 3 pre-outs.
Any advice on the template setup would help. I have read the wiki but still a little gun-shy when I see that red writing in the Webadmin telling me that anything I change will affect all using this device.

I wouldn't modify any of the standard templates in the web admin. Create a new one, but just refer to the other one as a basis for creating your own.
One reason for this is that you may wish to have your changes accepted into the SqlCVS system, but if you did it by modifying an existing template, if it were to be accepted (which it wouldn't be if it had a chance of modifying others good working devices) it would change that master device template, and probably upset a lot of people down the line. Where as if you mad a new template, you could get it into SqlCVS, and then a lot of people could benifit from your new template.
So short story is, in your local install it wouldn't hurt anything if you modified that device template (unless you had devices using that specific device template) - but for the above reasons it isn't a good idea.
Also, I prefer to create all of my device templates before running the setup wizard so that I can set everything up at once.
If you plan on using the setup wizard to set things up for you (connect the pipes etc...), when you create a new device template, on one of the first screens is a tick box "Create Device" that is ticked by default. I recommend unticking it. If it is left ticked, it will add a device automatically from the template you create, but won't set it up. While it doesn't hurt, it may cause some confusion later when you run the setup wizard and notice it thinks you already installed that device. Or if down the line you wonder why you have multiples of the same device. So in short - if you are going to set it up manually, its ok to leave the Create Device tick checked, but if you plan on using the setup wizard, i recommend unchecking it.
One more tip - the device template you create MUST be in the A/V subcategories in order to be accessible from the setup wizard (it is hard coded). For your Dennon, put it in A/V->Amps/Tuners/Receivers (I think thats what its called, or similar... I'm at work right now). Otherwize, you won't find it in the list in the setup wizard...

That went great!!!. I started to make the Denon Template. Added the inputs added the modes - I noticed that a few of the modes for the new HD audio are not listed and i asked in the chat room about adding them in but was advised against it so i did not. The I chose the supplied Denon AVR/AVC protocol. It attached it to the template and then clicked on one of the codes down the list it searched a bit and came back with a screen with none of the codes for anything implemented. Now if I look up the Denon - Device Templates - Amps tuners etc.. There are two templates for a 988 plus AM - OTA Twice, FM OTA -TWICE etc...
did I screw that up. Not sure how to get back from this now. I cannot get the codes from the database to reattach to the template and I am not sure why all my inputs are being added outside of the AVR-988.

Hey Guys,
Well it looks to me like I screwed up the existing AVR/AVC protocol. I have added all the rs232 strings back into the AVR-988 (rs-232) template. In looking at the codes for the Denon from the book there are a ton of codes for items not in the list supplied. I also notice in the Yamaha RX template there are additional child devices added for the OTA-Radio as well as extra zones.
I would like to work with someone to complete this thing properly and add or get it fully supported. I am also not sure about the control or addition of controls after the fact, for instance when I select tuner from the inputs then there are additional commands for band, presets, direct tuning etc.. as well this receiver supports Ipod Input with cursor, enter, rename etc as well as XM Radio etc..
I am available all day today if someone has the time pm me maybe we can conference or chat.

While I'm not familiar with your exact model of receiver, or its inputs - depending on the situation, it is possible for "Extra" device templates to be created. This is determined by the inputs page when creating the original device template. When you tell LMCE about the inputs, there are drop-boxes where you can specify a certain media type (this is not used in most cases). For example, if you create a TV template, you may have inputs:
In the above case, you may want to assign a media type of LiveTV for the Antenna input as it physically is capable of generating its own media(and no media type for the rest of the inputs as they don't really provide a media type themselves, they just inport a media type from another device if that makes sense). In this case, you would end up with an "extra" device template to control the Antenna port. While it may not immediatly make sense as to why it is set up this way, consider the following:
You created your TV template (with a LiveTV Antenna input). You connect an antenna to the antenna input, and a DVD player to AV1.(lets also assume you have a device template for the dvd player)
When you are watching a dvd through the dvd player, LMCE switches to the AV1 input, and now any time you use CHannel up/down on an IR remote, it skips chapters on your dvd. Now use LMCE to switch to the LiveTV part of your tv. Now the Channel up/down will change channels on the tv tuner.
So in short, things are done this way so LMCE knows what device to send commands to, and which commands to send (in the above example AV1 does not have its own media type, so LMCE follows the pipe to the next device -dvd player-, which has a media type. Antenna Does have a media type, so there is no pipe to follow and this is the actaul device to control)
Its a little complicated to understand at first, but once you get it the entire idea behind pipes etc will all make a lot of sense.
So if you have a few different ports that do provide its own media type, I would say your extra device templates are normal in your case.

Hi Jon,
I sort of get all that. I have read and reread the wiki for this several times. I guess what I am saying is this.
if you go into your system and webadmin - device templates and look under Denon - Av/receivers etc... and apply filter you will now see
2 Am OTAradios 2 FM OTA radios 2 XM Satellite Radios etc... I think this maybe because I added a template twice somehow.
BUT if I look at the Yamaha Template At the bottom of the first page the Extra devices you speak off are added inside the Yamaha RX-x000 template I guess as an embedded or child to that parent device with some extra commands for each of the child devices. I cannot find any info on adding those or to the parent A/V device.
I will try to explain this better. I setup my inputs all is fine there - DVD, HDP, TUNER etc...
NOW if from the Media Scenario page for the receiver (not created yet) If I selected tuner as my source. Well in the Denon Command list book there are extra RS-232 commands for changing bands, preset up and down, preset scrolling A1-E1 and direct access to a channel.
Then for the IPOD input there are many commands for cursor up, down, etc then folder selections, track selection, etc...
then for XM you have all the standard XM Radio control commands within that XM input as well.
So I guess I am asking Now that inputs for Tuner, XM, Ipod etc where do I put the commands for the childs control inside that specific input on the parent - So like this
Denon AVR-988 - Tuner INput Selection - Then how do we control Band, AM Direct, FM Direct, Preset Up, Preset Dwn, Scroll Preset etc.
Then of course there is the zone 2 and three setups which have all of the above options again listed with a separate string
IE Main Zone Input DVD = SIDVD\r
Zone2 Input DVD Z2 SIDVD\r etc...
On top of all this
There are direct mode inputs for
DTS-HD, DD+, DD TrueHD, Multi-Channel in direct, Multi-Channel in pure direct, Multi-channel in 7.1 etc... none of these are in the supplied (stock) list in the system.
I would assume that if I am setting this up I only want to do it once and not have to edit the template over and over again and these new features will need to be added at some point.
If I had an HD-DVD player playing an HD-DVD with a DTS-HDMaster track but it was defaulting to DTS Standard I would then have no way to change this inside LMCE is the way I am think (Is this not correct?)
This is also going to be an issue with my satellite rcvr I am sure.
I have multiple a/v outputs on that unit (VU 6000HD) and there is a switch turning (toggle_ on/off) HD (turns on cmpt@1080I) SD (std def at 480i) through regular s-vid or composite. I have s-video feeding the pvr-150 in the hybrid and then I have the cmpt running to the rcvr and it is output (upconverts) on the HDMI from the rcvr to input 5 on the TV at 1080p. How do I get all this into a command string. I need to switch the STB to HD (for live TV from STB) to pass the cmpt signal to the rcvr when I want to watch HD on the TV and then switch back to SD when I want to use MYTH through the pvr-150 in the core. All this needs to be done via I/R as well.

I checked out the Yamaha templates, and there is a difference.. If you look at the Inputs for the Yamaha, none are selected as a separate Media type.
Basically you have 2 choices - treat the tuners as separate devices (by assigning a media type to the inputs), or don't select a media type, and use the related to fields as the Yamaha does.
I don't have a great deal of experience in this area, so I couldn't say for sure which one would be the best for your situation. Maybe spending sometime going through a bunch of other receiver templates would be helpful.. For each one, click on A/V properties, then at the top of the properties page, follow the Change/Explain link for the inputs and see how many emply each of the methods by seeing if they assigned media types to certain inputs.
I'd like to hear how you make out though, as I will be in the same boat at some time making a decision on the best way to add my receiver (which I currently don't use)

Hi Jon,
Well there is not documentation in the wiki or the users manual that would explain controlling child devices inside a parent device it also seems that from reading this wiki on the Marantz, we do not have the media screens for the associated children of an A/V device. That sort of leaves me at a brick wall. I do have the receiver setup as a template but currently I would take it as unuseable due to the fact that we cannot use the internals tuners on the device as they are but need to modify (I guess) another Live TV screen.
I hope I am mistaking this as whoever wrote that wiki also placed this on mantis but it seems the link is dead.
See what you think of the comments.

why not try assigning media types for the inputs and having the tuners as separate devices? Just to try it out once, I assigned "Live TV" to the tuner on my TV and ended up with a separate device for it. Barring that, maybe give it a try with the TV remote screen with the related templates, i'm sure it would control most of what you need. Even better, fire up HADesigner and create a screen for it and use it. Thom has some great tutorials on it, and it really isn't all that hard to use (just a bit buggy)

Yes I have done that and it in fact does create the separate devices under media one for the Tuner - OTA Radio (no screen) and one for XMradio - Setellite Radio no screen. My problem is currently that the system keeps wanting to detect the Denon AVC-A1SRA instead of my AVR-988 (rs232) and if I assign it manually by removing the pnp script portion of my template nothing works it still tries to detect the AVC-A1SRA even with the AVR-988 already installed on that USB - Serial port.

Well I am not sure what else to try here. I cannot get the system to detect the right receiver and if try to add it manually and the next reload or regen it detects the AVC-A1SA rcvr everytime. If I remove both and then say yes when it detects I get no option to change the rcvr type from the detected model. I have also tried to say yes then choose control control via IR and set the AVR-988 that way, but of course then none of the commands function as this device is of course RS232.
Any ideas, actually I am not sure if the template is even setup correctly. I notice that if I try sending commands from the group the rcvr does not react to any of them, although when it is detected via the AVC-A1SA it does turn off and then on again while that software is being installed. but nothing works after that. No pwr commands or volume.
In looking at other template I notice some ruby internal commands being used here and there and I am not sure if any of these need to be put in as well.

Hey Jon,
Thanks for that heads up. I guess the Denon models do not use a Device ID Method, so in the 2nd part of the script (if it is a Denon Receiver) the script calls up device template 71 which is the AVC-A1SA, I changed that to my AVR-988 Device (template 1931) and it detected that and has not detected another device since. The Yamaha script seems much more detail it actually seems to call up an SQL Query to try and find out which device you are using through Vendor_ID.
Still none of my commands are working though. I looked through other rcvr templates and I see internal ruby commands for most, even if basic. There is the private listing, Process Initialize, Process Child Commands etc... I am not sure if I need any of these nor am I sure what should be put in any of those boxes, even though in the wiki they state they are not needed for some devices.
All the rcvr templates (rs-232) seem to have the process initialize with what looks like a small ruby snippet written in.
Thanks for all your help with this.

Hopefully someone can confirm this. In Reading some more wiki and forum posts. I am seeing all kinds of comments referring to ttxUSB(x) as your device.
I am using a Radio Shack nexxtech usb-serial adaptor and when I look at devices in webadmin-devices-a/v equipment - It is on com port pci 0000+____2 etc of which there are three and then the actual com port which the tv is on.
I have tried to talk to the rcvr via the laptop and a terminal program where the usb-serial port is emulating com4 but no data in or out is seen and the rcvr does nothing.
What is confusing about this is when the rcvr is actually detected the pnp script fires off a power down command and then a power up plus mute off command and the rcvr responds.

I submitted a mantis change for a bug in the Denon template. The serial parameters don't match the format that the GSD plugin is looking for. See
You should be able to do this on your local machine until the batch is approved.

As Rafael and thousands of other Westchester residents looked up to the Ossining Volunteer Fire Department during Saturday's 200th Anniversary Parade, Chief Thomas Reddy said he couldn't help but think of those looking down on him.
"I'm sure my great-grandfather and grandfather were looking down on me saying go get 'em you're chief now of this big celebration," said Reddy, a fifth-generation firefighter. "The men and women of this department is what makes it great and remembering our tradition and those who came before us is part of what makes us such a great, extended family."
Both Reddy's great-grandfather and grandfather served at the top of the Ossining Fire Department and came up through the department's first company now known as Washington Hook & Ladder Company No. 2. The company started on May 4, 1812 as Washington Engine Company No. 1 in the hamlet of Sing Sing – a year before the village was incorporated. The all-volunteer department started primarily to help provide exemptions so that members could stay and help their local families during the War of 1812.
Being a member of the department now carries with it knowledge and tradition built over the last 200 years, said Frank Palmietto, Washington Hook & Ladder's historian.
"When we have new members join, we talk about the rich history of this family because we really are a family and it's important to know where that family came from," Palmietto, who's served with the department for nearly 40 years. "When I joined in 1973, this tradition was taught to me by members who had been around since 1920. You have to remember your past to go forward into the future. It's a great honor to be a part of Westchester's oldest company and a part of this amazing department."
At present, there are about 480 all-volunteer members of the Ossining Fire Department. With half of the 75 members in Washington Hook & Ladder under 35-years-old, Palmietto said he also sees a bright future ahead of the department.
"A lot of fire departments are hurting for people but we're very strong," Palmietto said. "I'm hoping that this continues and it looks promising. We're starting to see a lot of the younger members step up and it's really great to see that family keep going."
For ex-captain Bill Carrigan, keeping the traditions and strength of the Ossining Fire Department going starts with the community and kids like Rafael Rodriguez and other kids who dream of becoming a part of the department.
"When I was a kid I came to the parade and I just loved seeing the firefighters come by and I always wanted to be a part of that," said Carrigan, who joined the department in 1972, at 18. "In this town it's a big thing to be a firefighter and I think it's something every kid in this town dreams of. It's a great feeling to see people coming out and it's a great feeling marching with those men because they do it with pride and honor."
To show respect for the department, more than 70 departments from around Westchester and all over the state of New York also marched in the parade. The departments in attendance Saturday included Briarcliff Manor, Pleasantville, Croton, Elmsford, Nyack, Montrose, Hastings, Lake George, Danbury, Carmel and Maybrook, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.

Why: One reader loves this hairspray so much that she buys "it by the gallon."Another reader likes how it "kept my hair looking absolutely perfect on the windiest days" and the best part is that her hair "will actually blow in the wind (it's not stiff like a helmet) but it'll fall right back into place when the wind stops." It also has a "wonderful smell" and for one reader it "does not make my head itch," which is a definite plus.

Sebastian Shaper is a good hairspray but I cannot stand the smell. I've never understood the following for Elnet either. I don't get the best results and it too smells bad. My favorite is Sexy Hair Soy Touchable hair spray.

LOVE the elnett - UNSCENTED.
by jenstar313 Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 10:49AM Report as inappropriate
Helpful article; there are so many hairsprays on the market making the same claims that is it nearly impossible to decide which to choose. I swear by Phyto haircare products, though - the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so clean and fresh, and the styling products hold beautifully without weighing my hair down. It is liberating to feel your hair flow freely without worrying that movement will cause frizziness and dullness or simply mess your hair up.

Award for Amey staff foil Hereford robbery
7:20am Thursday 24th October 2013 in News By Paul Rogers
TWO people who detained a man that threatened them with a knife have been commended for their bravery.
Angela Marston and Tom Foster were working in Quay Street, Hereford, for Amey when they saw a group of people acting suspiciously in the garden of a nearby property.
The elderly householder was out at the time, but when she returned, Angela and Tom told her about their concerns and accompanied her into her home.
But, once inside, a man, who was in a bedroom, threatened Angela and Tom with a knife.
However, they managed to disarm and detain him until the police arrived.
The pair were just some of the people to receive an award from the High Sheriff of Herefordshire.
Other recipients included Sergeant Nigel Hagan, who took command of a difficult search for a woman who was thrown from her horse on the county's border with Gloucestershire.
Special Constable James Helyer was awarded the "probationer of the year" prize for his dedication and ability to engage with the public. During the past two years, James has completed 1,460 hours on duty – three times more than the minimum four hours a week that is required – and even dealt with the successful conviction of a woman for drink driving.
Inspector Peter Gebbie, Sergeant Andy Scott and Detective Sergeant Mark Peters also received accolades for completing more than 20 years in the police force.
"These commendations recognise the outstanding contributions towards policing in Herefordshire made by our officers and staff, often going above and beyond the call of duty," said Supt Ivan Powell.
"It was also a chance for the force to thank those members of the public whose good deeds and efforts have significantly contributed towards making the county a safe place for us to live and work."
The event also included the first official duty of the newly formed Herefordshire police cadets, who welcomed attendees.

It actually works as Math said it would - this tip/bug/feature building infrastructure below a newfounded city (edit/added: both tasks should be started/made in the same turn).
In my challengegame against him, a city on plains rose its food production at turn 3 from its founding by 15 food (advanced farm).
So we clearly have to decide how this should be used in future and running games - FAST.
(More added: I do not think use of this can make a great difference in "old" games - but in new and fairly new games it sure matters.)

Originally by Stéphanie Le Bars for Le Monde, translated to English by Worldcrunch:
ÉVRY – On a recent Friday evening, Maroua Gousa was standing behind the latticed wooden partition in the Évry mosque's section reserved for women, watching a presentation projected onto a screen below in the large prayer hall for men. Fond of exploring religious ideas and practices, the 19-year-old student is taking part in a debate with 200 other participants in this city just south of Paris.
The gathering is actually the most recent instalment of a new attack aimed at the science of evolution by Haroun Yahya, an outspoken Turkish-born Muslim advocate of creationism, who is considered widely controversial within the Islamic world.
Haroun Yahya, the pseudonym of Adnan Oktar, never presents himself in person, speaking either by video or through zealous representatives armed with grandiloquent tracts distributed for free. In France, he had already made himself known in 2007 when he attempted to introduce thousands of copies of his Atlas de la Création into French schools. His work purports to scientifically demonstrate "the frauds and dictatorship" of the evolution of the species theory.
But since January, the 55-year-old with a well-trimmed beard has launched a new campaign that is clearly targeting the Muslim faithful. Dressed in a traditional black robe decorated with rhinestones and a white veil that she wears "only" when she comes to the mosque, Maroua admits that she has always wondered about "the dinosaurs and the origin of man…but at school, it cannot be refuted: we're taught that man descended from monkeys. At home and in the Koran, [we're taught] that we descended from Adam and Eve, and that God created all living beings."
Ali Sadun Engin, Yahya's representative in the current tour of French mosques, seems to have convinced the young girl. "I find his explanations logical," she says. The proof for creationism is demonstrated with some perfunctory presentations of fossils, including bear, crocodile, and tortoise skulls, and can be summarized in a few brief sentences: "If fish left the water to walk, if dinosaurs were transformed into birds, then we should discover fossils of these beings in transition. However this is not the case. Science thus shows one sole truth: creation as we know it from the Koran."
Based on this fact, he jokes about "frogs transformed into princes." Ali Sadun Engin insists that a "Muslim cannot be a Darwinist." Yaha himself has promised seven million dollars to anyone who brings him a fossil from one of the transitional species.
The scientific content of these works by someone who has studied only art and philosophy in Istanbul was judged to be of "pathetically poor quality" by French academics appointed in 2007 by the Education Ministry to evaluate Atlas de la Création. His methods are nevertheless known to be as effective as those used by American evangelicals, and he isn't afraid to shock participants. Ali Sadun Engin invoked Hitler and 9/11 in order to declare that "all Darwinists are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Darwinists."
"At school, we believed the teachers, but here their theses are disproved: they don't have the truth," adds Yanina Gelassi, a 19-year-old student veiled in black. Nouri Hamid, 28, a doctoral student in genetics, is not "totally in agreement that there is a complete lack [of evidence] for the evolution of species," but he also declares that "science has never demonstrated the connection between homo sapiens and man."
I bet if asked, Nouri Hamid, the doctoral student in genetics who opines that science has never demonstrated a connection between homo sapiens and man, would agree that heterosexuality is an aberration, and heterosexuals should be lynched in accordance with the Qur'an.
Similarly, the "concordist" approach to the Koran, defended by the conference speakers, is popular among young Muslims. This concept states that the recent scientific discoveries only confirm the scientific content of the sacred book. "This proves to us that, despite all of the research, God has said and written everything down in the Koran nearly 1,400 years ago," says Najoua Oubaya, a 21-year-old saleswoman.
"These discussions are good for the people because they prove that the West has discovered nothing, and that Islam is superior, even scientifically," explained Nidhal Guessoum, a Muslim astrophysicist, in Le Monde in 2009. The author of Réconcilier l'Islam et la sciecne moderne: l'esprit d'Averroès (Reconciling Islam and Modern Science: The Spirit of Averroes), he describes the methods of Yahya as "do-it-yourself," and defends the search for connections between science and faith, just as has been done in Christianity. In 1996, John Paul II confirmed that the theory of evolution was "more than a hypothesis," but the Catholic Church maintains that science is not the sole contributor to the explanation of the origin of life, as Benedict XVI recalled in 2007.
"The scientific manipulations of Haroun Yahya are alarming for the Muslim community," says Saïd Branine, who runs the site Oumma.com, and organized a training on the topic.
Branine said he is worried by the lack of reflection among Muslims about the relationship between science and religion. "Creation is subject to faith, and many fear that by questioning this belief, they question the cause of their faith as well," he said. "This demonstrates the need to train Muslim intellectuals. All the more so because Yahya has abundant resources." The source of the funds that supports Yahya's Foundation for Scientific Research remains a well-kept secret.
The source of funding is only a mystery to those who ignore the patently obvious. When a tsunami wipes out entire villages in Indonesia, the Saudis don't have a single riyal to spare. But when it comes to funding the message that "the West has discovered nothing," and that "Islam is superior, even scientifically", the funding floodgates open.
All this nonsense regarding the "truth" about evolution contained in the "scientific" passages of Mein Qurampf makes me itch to ask them if they could also "prove" that human sperm is produced between a man's spine and ribs, as their little book says.
In 2008 Yahya offered not $7 million, but TEN TRILLION Turkish lira. He made that offer AFTER the lira had six zeros chopped off it, at that days rate of exchange it was $7 trillion ,ten times the annual Turkish GPD. He was of course quite safe in making that offer, there are no transitional species. His argument is that if mammals are one species derived from the same source, that if monkey and man were once one, where is the man/monkey or the monkey/man. Unless he is in Mecca reading the koran, the species differentiated so slowly and in such minute stages over such a vast period of time that it is impossible to find the million different models that went into the final product. Some 98% of all species that ever inhabited the earth are now extinct, the anthropologists find a very small percentage of them, most get burned up when the sun sinks into its pond at night.

Nice property for the money. Check-in fast and easy. Room was big enough for my needs. i was there for business so I didn't take advantage of the casino... but it seemed O.K. First night appetizers and drinks with clients service in bar was O.K. Next day breakfast buffet was fast, affordable, and good for the money. Next night, service at bar was bad enough for me not only verbalize it to the staff on duty but to call and complain (and I'm not ordinarrily not the type, I usually just leave) to the manager. I was ignored by the wait staff who appeared to care less about me but then rushed to help someone who arrived after i did. Manager said she'd send me an e-mail that would "Take care of me-Make things right" still no word. Would definately stay again I would just find another place to eat and have drinks where I am not invisible because outside of that one experience, my stay was great.

President Bush ordered the start of a war against Iraq on Wednesday night, and American forces poised on the country's southern border and at sea began strikes to disarm the country, including an apparently unsuccessful attempt to kill Saddam Hussein.
Mr. Bush addressed the nation from the Oval Office at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday night, about 45 minutes after the first attacks were reported against an installation in Baghdad where American intelligence believed Mr. Hussein and his top leadership were meeting. ''On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war,'' the president said.
Speaking deliberately, with a picture of his twin daughters visible behind him, he added, ''These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign.''
Mr. Bush sought to tamp down expectations of a quick victory with few casualties by warning that the battles in the days ahead ''could be longer and more difficult than some predict.'' [Transcript, Page A20.]

The problem is when i try to boot dvd games, When my machine i cold it works fine(sometimes..) but after a few hours of gaming the ps2 starts to make clic noises and even worse the game will stop, often when there is a cgi scene with audio the sound repeats itself over and over. It has been like this since day 1.I have tried lots of different media with no luck. i also have a old ps2(V3) with a messiah chip, even if its old this machine plays my backup games way better than my new. I have a Ripper gold chip installed in my new ps2(v9 or10). The guy who sold me told me he could replace my laser and that this would do the trick, but since i now feel that i have lost 430$ for my premodded ps2 i am gettin sceptical to giving another 100$ for a new laser.
You guys are the experts, will a new laser solve my problems or should i just buy a new pstwo from a different "chipper"?

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
A military judge dismissed two charges against Sgt. Adam Holcomb as testimony resumed Saturday in a court-martial on Fort Bragg.
Holcomb is standing trial in connection with the death of Pvt. Danny Chen in Afghanistan last year.
Chen, 19, of New York, took his own life Oct. 3, following weeks of harassment and abuse, according to prosecutors.
On Saturday, Maj. Bret Batdorff threw out two counts of violating a lawful general regulation for technical reasons. The dismissals mean Holcomb now faces a maximum of 13 years, six months in prison if convicted on all counts.
He remains charged with negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, communicating a threat, assault, dereliction of duty, two specifications of maltreatment of a subordinate and two specifications of violating a lawful general regulation.
Saturday marked the end of the defense's case in the court-martial; however, lawyers on both sides are still able to call witnesses to to serve as rebuttal to earlier testimony.
Chen shot himself in a guard tower on Combat Outpost Palace in Afghanistan's Kandahar province.
Prosecutors are trying to convince the jurors that harassment and abuse that included racial slurs and physical punishment led to Chen's suicide.
Holcomb's lawyers have maintained that Chen was not abused but received only corrective punishment.
They have maintained that Chen performed poorly in Afghanistan and was bothered by being disowned by his family - a charge several Chen family members have denied.
Holcomb, 30, of Youngstown, Ohio, was Chen's roommate and one of eight soldiers from the Fort Wainwright-based unit charged in connection with his death.
Those soldiers' company commander, Capt. Sean Allred, testified Saturday that he was unaware of any mistreatment of Chen. But, he said, he was aware of Chen's deficiencies and had planned to move him from Combat Outpost Palace in early October.
Allred said he did not think Chen was ever told of this plan.
He said he believed Chen would have been moved to the company command center on either Oct. 4 or Oct. 5. Chen committed suicide Oct.3.
Allred, who partly testified in a closed courtroom because he was sharing classified information, told jurors that he was reprimanded and relieved of command following Chen's death.
Other witnesses also testified that they never saw Holcomb punishing Chen, or that if they did, the punishment was not unwarranted.
Soldiers said Chen was often late for duty, would forget equipment and sometimes fell asleep while on guard duty.
Staff Sgt. Derrick Fox said Chen would have been the "weakest link" had he been allowed on patrol. Fox said any extra tasks Chen was told to perform were only intended to make him a better soldier.
"It was nothing that I never had done to me," he said, explaining that he never perceived Chen's treatment as abuse.
Both sides also had expert witnesses testify Saturday.
Maj. Samantha Benesh, a forensic psychologist assigned to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, testified for the defense and Capt. Kyle Grohmann, staff psychologist at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, testified for the prosecution.
Both experts said they could not say with certainty that Holcomb's treatment of Chen was a contributing factor in his suicide.
"There is a lot that we don't know," Benesh said. "We don't have a really good idea of what Chen was thinking."
Testimony is set to resume Monday morning for what could be the sixth and last day in the court-martial.
Holcomb is the first to be court-martialed in connection with Chen's death and is also accused of mistreating another soldier.
The two dismissed counts specifically dealt with Holcomb's alleged addressing of Chen as "Dragon Lady" and his use of a variation of the n-word to describe an African-American soldier. Each of the two counts came with a maximum prison sentence of two years if he had been convicted.

It is reported that officials at Sony find "fierce competition" responsible for lower than viable pricing, forcing the business to operate at a loss. Sony plans to wind up Optiarc by March 2013, and give some of its 400 employees early retirement, while transferring some to other divisions of Sony. Source: Engadget
Removed my Optical Drive a couple of years ago. All i have in my 5.25 bay is a Sytche Kaze Master Pro. I got a Samsung USB DVD Writer for my CD/DVD needs, which happens once a year.
I had hdd drive, ODD, flash drive, external hdd drive go bad on me(even a network server), so I allways look back ...with backup...
Not really.... Theres no money in it. there are lots of people out there that dont even run with optical drives anymore (me being one of them) a small external slimline drive bought mainly for use with my netbook sits on my shelf collecting dust most of the time as i rarely even use it twice a year. There are still quite a few players in the optical drive market but I dont think sony leaving will make their situations that much different apart from the possible 0.01 to 0.03% increase in optical drive sales. apart from having a blueray player connected upto your tv at home...Nobody really cares for optical much anymore
Smart move. The optical drive business is winding down anyways, so the quicker they leave this shrinking market, the better.
Weren't a number of optical drive manufacturers burned for price fixing a while ago? And sony is leaving because prices are too low?
Optical drives (for PCs) are obsolete and no longer a standard requirement as software or anything that needs to be installed can be downloaded. platforms like STEAM is a prime example.
I still use my optical for some things. So I won't be ditching it anytime soon. I like to install my OS from DVD's as thats the format they come in. Plus downloading 20Gb of BF3 anytime I do a reinstall sucks. Plus I like to burn MP3 CD's for my car once in a while. Never owned a Sony DVD. Been using LG for a while now.
Older Sony drives sucked, but once they partnered with NEC the drives they produced started to get close to Plexter level of quality. Though in the past year and a half, with optical drive prices tanking, they all put out the same level of generic crap.
I agree with all the posts above. However in this part of world,India,Optical drives is a part of the PC still
sony's optics are shit anyways. bought an optiarc drive and it died in 2 weeks. bravo SONY never had problems with LG or ASUS
Hm, I haven't inserted a DVD into my PC for... Shit, I can't even remember for how many years. I have a USB slimline DVD but I haven't also used it for years. No PC I've built in recent years has an optical drive anyhow.
That sux! Sony drives are the only drives i buy with none of the ones ive owned and sold failing in the last 7 yrs. Unlike samsung that some havent even lasted 30 seconds before dieing. Off to pioneer i go i guess.
Same here i use a external too and is only used for some games that i want on disk and not some downloaded version.
Yeah, the point of price fixing is to make prices higher, so if price fixing (on $20 components, oh no!) goes away so might profits. On a personal note, two things: 1) I still buy music (craziness!) on CD (double craziness!) I refuse to pay for inferior compressed formats. I rip to lossless FLAC for home use and convert to mp3 for portable. Naturally this requires an optical drive, so I really hope someone keeps making them. 2) Japanese companies respect toward employees: They offered early retirement or a move elsewhere within the company. In the US, it would have been 'You're fired!'
early retirement was a nice touch... Obviously you cant transfer EVERYONE. as far as respect for employee's go, you obviously havent heard of how foxconn and apple treat their factory staff.
Yes because all US companies are the same. Just like all Asian men have small peckers........oh wait that's a stereotype? Naaaaaa

Robber Gets Prison Time
An Ambler man who admitted robbing a Whitpain Township drug store has been given six to 20 years in state prison.
22-year-old Maximillian Bodine of Forest Avenue in Ambler pleaded guilty to robbery.
Court documents say he pulled a gun and demanded drugs from the pharmacy counter at a CVS on Route 202 near Route 73 in July of 2011.
He got away with about $20,000 worth of the painkillers Percocet and OxyContin and $150 in cash.
A store surveillance camera picture that was shown on TV newscasts led to his arrest.
