Freddie Mercury's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow recently sold for a record £74,000 at Autosport International in Birmingham.
Now, the new owner - Verka Serduchka, Ukrainian pop-idol and silver winner of Eurovision 2007 - has come forward to reveal her plans for the famous wheels.
"I bought the car not to drive it, but to preserve it to fans of the Queen!" said Serduchka during a recent press-conference. She will give the Rolls-Royce to the Queen museum that will be opened this year. Before that, the car will be exhibited during the show of Verka Serduchka & Band in Moscow on March 9 and 10.

YANGON, Myanmar -- The sun is low as we slip off our shoes and step into a world of gold. "Shwe" means gold in the Burmese language, and at Shwedagon Pagoda, this Buddhist country's most sacred site, we're surrounded by 60 tons of it.
Amid monks in burgundy robes, we circle the pagoda clockwise. Golden shrines, statues, stupas and spires are everywhere. There are Buddhas with electric red, blue, yellow and green halos, some flashing. Young nuns in pink robes, their heads shaven, pour water over the Buddha at the planetary post of their birth day, a dragon.
After dark, pilgrims light candles and a sleigh-like boat draped in tinsel ferries through the air on a wire, carrying gold leaf purchased by the faithful to adorn a spire.
This is one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
With the colored lights, the mythical creatures and the strolling crowds, it feels like a serene amusement park. Even the 29-ton bronze and gold bell struck by a smiling novice monk emits a mellow tone.
"Welcome to the golden land, Myanmar," our guide, Thi Thi, had said as we alighted from the small cruise ship Aegean Odyssey, docked in the center of the city formerly called Rangoon.
Rudyard Kipling's famous poem Mandalay talks about elephants piling teak, the aroma of spicy garlic, sunshine, palm trees and tinkly temple bells, back when this country was known as Burma. Now Myanmar is opening after decades of harsh military rule that saw it, despite the golden pagodas, become one of the world's poorest nations.
Democracy champion and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest, toured the United States in September to adoring crowds and was honored by Congress. President Obama journeyed to Myanmar in November and sounded the same bell in Shwedagon Pagoda that I saw the young monk strike.
So Myanmar was a hot ticket when I took the 12-night cruise, "Singapore & Burma: Lands of Contrast," in December. Owned by U.K.-based Voyages to Antiquity, Aegean Odyssey was one of the first ships to chart the newly democratic Myanmar. It's returning this year and next.
"We look to do things that the bigger ships can't," said David Yellow, the company's managing director. "We can cruise right up the river into the heart of Yangon."
I relished Aegean Odyssey's focus on history, culture and ancient civilizations. The lectures by experts in everything from geography to military history were always packed.
My first night on board, my dinner companion in the open seating restaurant turned out to be one of the lecturers, Martin Bell, long-time BBC correspondent, former independent member of Parliament, current UNICEF ambassador and budding poet. When I asked Martin why he started writing poetry, his reply began "When I was testifying before the war crimes tribunal in The Hague ..."
These are the types of extraordinary conversations that characterized the trip. Aegean Odyssey carried 278 passengers from 11 countries. I met authors, engineers, executives, birdwatchers, photographers and professors. One woman had lived in Burma as a girl. Another was coming back for the second time in a year to find the grave of her cousin, whose plane crashed in the Himalayas during a World War II supply mission.
Aegean Odyssey sailed round-trip from Singapore, visiting interesting ports in Thailand (Phuket) and Malaysia (Penang, Malacca and Port Klang for Kuala Lumpur).

Green light for GH at Government Estate
By T S Sekaran | ENS - CHENNAI
Published: 25th January 2013 07:24 AM
Last Updated: 25th January 2013 07:24 AM
The Madras High Court has dismissed a batch of writ petitions challenging the shifting of the State Secretariat and Assembly from the new buildings in Omandurar Government Estate back to St Fort George and the conversion of the buildings into a multi-super-specialty hospital.
"The policy decision of the government cannot be stated to be in haste or waste. The said decision also cannot be stated to be arbitrary or whimsical, and on the contrary it would promote and protect the interest of the public at large, more particularly the weaker sections of society, to get better and expert treatment for serious ailments," a special division bench comprising Justices K N Basha and N Paul Vasanthakumar said on Thursday.
The bench made it clear that the government should take all the necessary steps to provide treatment to the poor and deserving people, free of cost.
The bench noted that a division bench of the HC had already dismissed the writ petitions challenging the shifting of the Secretariat building and its conversion into a super-specialty hospital. The orders were not challenged in appeal and the matter had attained finality. The same issue could not be raised again, it said.
In its 60-page judgment, the bench said that it should be borne in mind that if a hospital was established, it would serve the public and promote public interest as rightly contended by Advocate-General A Navaneethakrishnan and senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi. Existence of other GHs and private hospitals for the population of Chennai City of about one crore would not be sufficient for the purpose of getting specialised treatment for the poor, middle class and the down-trodden people. The fact remained that as on date, there was no GHs in Chennai which could be equated with the AIIMs in New Delhi.
The government must keep in mind that the hospital should also serve the poor, middle class and the down-trodden, who were not able to get specialised treatment for serious ailments, for which patients had to incur heavy expenditure. Thus, the proposed decision to convert the A Block was per se in the interest of public. Moreover, the State Assembly had also approved the decision and hence, it could not be interfered with by this court, the bench said.
The decision was purely a matter of internal procedure adopted by the Assembly and hence, this court was not entitled to interfere in it when no violation of constitutional provisions was attracted, the bench added.
More from this section
Now, that TN Govt. got one nice victory over conversion of that half-finished ugly building -'an eyesore of Chennai'- it must not proceed with its proposed move to convert Anna Centenary Library, Koturpuarm into a child-specialist- hospital. It can always select any amount of vast land available near by, for the proposed special hospital for kids. Hospitals are also needed and so too are good, high class libraries. Hence, let TN Govt. preserve & utilize present Anna Centenary Library and auditoriums in imaginative ways to enhance usage to promote reading habits among citizens. As it is, present generation of students gets away with 'just nobbling at tips of grass', (Translation of Tamil proverb) instead of hard work to enhance real skills and much needed read-write-speaking-essay writing skills etc. that are lacking woefully. REPEAT: "Let Govt. not go for conversion of valuable library spaces for other purposes".

Posted: 8:05 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
Since I started writing this blog, I have tried to use it to reveal more details about various bills moving through Congress, most recently the health care reform bills being proposed by Democrats.
So yesterday, I just decided to pick a page. Planes popped into my mind, so I went with 727.
On that page is Section 1643, "Access to Certain Information On Renal Dialysis Facilities."
"For purposes of evaluating or auditing payments made to renal dialysis facilities for items and services," the bill reads, "each such renal dialysis facility, upon the request of the Secretary, shall provide...access to information relating to any ownership or compensation arrangement between such facility and the medical director of such facility or between such facility and any physician."
That's an interesting one, because it is obviously meant to zero in on services administered to patients, and the payments made to doctors or hospitals for sending patients to a renal dialysis facility.
I figured that couldn't be the only effort to cut down on medical costs along those lines and it wasn't.
On Page 312, Section 1156, "Limitation on Medicare Exceptions to the Prohibition on Certain Physician Referrals Made to Hospitals," addresses some similar items.
This section requires the "names and unique physician identification numbers of all physicians with an ownership or investment interest" or "compensation arrangement" in the hospital, as well as immediate relatives who might be financially involved as well.
The legislative text then goes on to require such physician owned hospitals to disclose that early and often when dealing with the public under, "Requirements For Hospitals With Physician Ownership or Investment."
The plan would require "periodic updates" that contain "a detailed description" for the feds of each phyician owner and/or investor, that such interest be disclosed to every patient, and disclose in on the hospital website and in public advertising.
What happens if you don't follow those proposed rules? The answer is on page 316, "a civil money penalty of not more than $10,000 for each day and "each case in which disclosure is required."
The bill then goes on to list a series of exceptions for rural hospitals that are partly or wholly physician owned and operated.
Later on page 322, the bill lays out that hospitals granted a waiver by the feds "may increase the number of operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds of the hospital above the baseline numberof operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds," and there's all kinds of other items related to this section.
It's just another reminder that the debates on a public option, end-of-life decisions and more are just a small slice of what's in this health care bill.
As always, I urge you to read parts of the bill yourself, to get an idea what's in it. You can download one of the versions from the House at http://bit.ly/nSL2A

in response to REALITY:
Where due to the overwhelming response here is my take. They only went to states that had a favorable business climate such as low taxes, realistic environmental laws, skilled work force, low cost of living, reasonable worker rules, etc. Best of my knowledge none of the japanese plants are unionized which meant they could efficiently and economically build cars. The cost structure imposed by the UAW many time handcuffed the big 3. Now I'm not saying this is the only reason why Detroit filed bk but I do believe it played a part.
BTW, I think CA has only one remaining car assembly plant in the state which I think it was located somewhere in Riverside county. But that was years ago so it might have closed. All those jobs move to other states for the reason I mentioned earlier.
A bit off topic here, but did anybody catch the story of the state employees getting a 4.5% raise since now CA has money. Well of course it does since that prop passed raising the sales and income tax. But what that was supposed to fund the schools. Gotta love that bait and switch.
I would also add GM, Ford, Toyota and even Honda are having parts made in Taiwan for things such as electronics, wheels, and body trim. Also sheet metal parts being made in Mexico. This helps them stay competitive. Cars are only assembled, not truly "made" in the U.S. Not saying that unions need to go completely away but this is proof they have made themselves inefficient.

I was talking with a friend the other day about salsas and avacado. We both love avacado. I told him about this smoked salsa recipe and he was drooling all over the phone. The smokey flavor enhances the ingredients.
Ingredients: 2 jalapeno peppers-seeded and halved, 1-2 medium sized avacados-diced, 2 medium sized tomatoes-diced, 1 white onion-skin removed, 2 TBSP calantro-coursely chopped, 1 TBSP mint leaves, finely chopped, 1 TBSP parsley, finely chopped, juice of one lime. Aluminum foil.
Preparation: Start grill and allow to come to smoke temperature (170-180F preferred), lay vegegtales on foil square large enough to hold all the raw ingredients. Smoke for 1-2 hours. Remove from smoker, then mash avacado, chop up onion, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and chil for 2 hours in refrigerator. Serve with tortilla chips and your favorite adult beverage.

NEWBURYPORT - The new electric car charging station is right out front at Massachusetts Audubon's Joppa Flats Education Center. But on this sunny March afternoon, sanctuary director Bill Gette asked a visitor to follow him around back to a spot people don't ordinarily go, to see the center's electric meters.
"This is the meter for the photovoltaic cells on the roof. You see it's turning really fast? This is recording the kilowatt hours that are being generated right now,'' Gette said. "Now this meter over here, this is the meter from the grid. If we were using electricity from the grid, this meter would be turning that way. But it's not; it's turning backwards. So for right now, on this day, we are a net producer of electricity.''
Not entirely coincidentally, users of the car charging station won't pay anything for powering up the batteries of their Chevy Volts, Nissan Leafs (Leaves?), and other electric cars. Gette says Audubon has decided to make charge-ups free for at least a year, to encourage use.
Having your own power source helps. With those solar cells on the roof, the center generates an average of 40 percent of its electricity annually, Gette says. Both the charging station and the solar array are part of a larger initiative by the organization.
"Mass. Audubon has been making a major push to reduce its use of fossil fuels,'' said Gette.
"One, it's a very practical thing. It saves money, and we need to be good stewards of the money people donate,'' he said. "And two, we're concerned about, when you're producing electricity by burning fossil fuels … it releases carbon into the atmosphere, and we believe that is having a detrimental impact on the environment.''

Mind Your Business: Thank You for Not Pitching
Greetings from a cold and wet Ottawa. I'm shivering in Canada with hundreds of animation creators, writers, animators and execs. But it was only the weather that was cold, the meetings were all toasty.
The first two days of the Ottawa International Animation Festival consist of the TAC (Television Animation Conference), with great panels, discussions and pitch opportunities. It just took place in Canada and it's been great. I'm writing this in between meetings, sessions and cartoon screenings. Life could be worse.
Both days of TAC featured the Fast Track, which are 10 minute speed pitches. That may not seem like much time, but it's plenty. I often pitched multiple projects in these sessions with time to spare.
So why am I happy most of you didn't show up to pitch your concepts? The same reason everyone else at the conference was happy you didn't show up. Your absence left more available pitch slots for us TAC attendees to fill.
Outside of the Fast Pitch room, they post a sign showing all the pitch catchers (studio and network execs) and their schedule. I could not believe how many open slots there were. There is no excuse for creators not to take advantage of these pitch opportunities.
I doubled the number of meetings I was able to set up on Thursday because so few people signed up. Allen Hillard, creator of the RoadKill Bunch, had 10 speed pitch meetings in just one day. Those are 10 more contacts Allen now has who will now take his phone calls. How many new connections did you make for pitching your shows last Thursday?
Hillard said, "I was nervous at first that I only got four meetings set up online, but when I saw all the openings on the Fast Track board, I more than doubled my number of pitches. I was surprised how few people turned out for the pitches. My meetings were excellent. The conference has been invaluable."
I've heard from a number of people that they don't think conferences are worth the money, that they think conferences are only hosted by people who want to take your money. People who think this way don't understand how business works… not just our business, any business.
People work with people they know and trust. So, in a worldwide industry, how to do you get to know people throughout the animation industry? Emails? Wishing? Complaining? No.
Face to face meetings. That's how business is done. Follow-ups are fine by phone and by email, but you get to know someone by sitting down with them, even if it's only for a few minutes. Conferences are the main place when all these executives are in the same place.
Plus, one meeting often turns into others. I've had a number of pick-up meetings turn into introductions to other executives. When's the last time your blind email recipient turned and introduced you to someone else who could help you in some way?
So I should be thanking you for not showing up at TAC… but I'd rather more creatives took advantage of these opportunities so TAC and other conferences continue to host pitching sessions. Invest in your ideas and make the contacts your projects need at TV conferences. I expect to see you all at the next conference.
You're the greaetst! JMHO
I'm glad to hear there are conferences with pitch opportunities liek this, and their within a days drive for me! I gotta get there next time around.
It's all about the 'being there', ain't it?
Nice tact with this post- you have to be there, with a positive outlook, to get folks to listen to your pitch. 'Nuff Said. Thanks, Mark!
Woody Allen was right.
80% of success is showing up.
Best of luck with your future projects.
I will ABSOLUTELY be there next year! I had accidentally put my passport in the wash (I know, I know...) and was bummed I couldn't go. I'm going to plan for next year though

The rich get rich and the poor get poorer - it's the GOP economy, stupid

President Ronald Reagan |
Once upon a time, well just 40 years ago actually, if you worked hard all your life you'd probably come out better than you started. It wasn't just a line they fed to lure you here.
It was true -- you stood a good chance of making real progress with your life. In those days, which were your parents' days, a more tightly regulated economy lifted all boats, not just the big yachts at the top.
There used to be a very strong middle class in America who were the envy of the world, and their unprecedented purchasing power drove the dynamo of the American century.
So what happened? Well, first the Ronald Reagan administration happened.
That era saw the mass changeover from productivity to finance, it saw America's rich find more effective ways to grow their own wealth. Instead of producing goods they switched over to playing the markets, private gain trumped public obligation, special interests trumped the common good.
Since Reagan's inauguration in 1980 we've now developed a financial inequality that's so extreme it's actually worse now than any time since the late 1920s (in the years just prior to the Great Depression).
But while ordinary people are struggling to get by our top corporations are enjoying the highest corporate profit margins in the history of this nation, combined with one of the highest unemployment rates in history.
Employers are also paying the lowest wages in history as a percent of the economy. According to an analysis by Moody's Analytics this week, profitability in non-financial firms surged in recent quarters to fifteen percent, a level not seen since the late 1960's.
So President Obama was correct last week when he said our private sector is doing fine. There's simply no question about that. It's the best of times for the lucky few and the worst of times for the many.
Giving more tax breaks to corporations that are already stuffed with cash is not going to lead to change. It's the lack of demand that's really hammering our economy and impeding investment.
Some conservatives like to tell you that American jobs only exist because "wealth creators" create them. That's nonsense.
Jobs only exist because there are customers that can afford to buy products. But they can't do that if they don't have the cash.
If you're one of the many people who visited a store last week and hesitated to make a purchase whilst you calculated if you could afford it, you participated in a dangerous cycle. If you turned around and walked out things just got worse.
If instead you're one of those people who rarely have to calculate whether you can afford something, well good for you. The problem is there aren't enough of you to save the rest us from the tightening vice. The crumbs from your table aren't going to be enough.
Of course there are different realities in America. It's why I love livening in New York. It's a democratic city that affords you instructive glimpses into the gulf between rich and poor every time you walk a city block.
It's instructive to walk down to Tribeca, the real seat of the city's wealth now, where you can enter the Harry Potter alternate reality of the financial district. Doormen in white gloves will sweep you into the most expensive looking apartment buildings on the planet.
Upscale lifestyle facilities abound. Yachts bigger than small villages are anchored to the nearby Hudson with immediate access to leafy outdoor restaurants.
If there's a recession on, they haven't got the memo in Tribeca. They live, most of them, in that other America, in Mitt Romney's America, and it's still morning in that America. If you want the next four years to look like the last ten you should vote for him.
To clarify, I don't mind rich people. I don't think rich people are the problem individually. I think that the political party that panders exclusively to them and works against everyone else in the nation is the problem.
I'm not the only one who thinks this. For example David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget who wrote a prescient New York Times op-ed piece in 2010, agrees.
America's increasingly partisan politics is destroying not just the economy and capitalism, but the American dream he wrote. "If there were such a thing as Chapter 11 for politicians, the Republican push to extend the unaffordable Bush tax cuts would amount to a bankruptcy filing. The nation's public debt will soon reach $18 trillion," he warned.
That kind of debt cries out for "austerity and sacrifice," he wrote. Instead, Romney and the GOP insist that the nation's richest taxpayers should be spared even a three-percentage-point rate tax increase.
"Republicans used to believe that prosperity depended upon the regular balancing of accounts," Stockman wrote, "in government, in international trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the financial affairs of private households and businesses too."
No longer. From 2002 to 2006 the top 1% of Americans received two-thirds of the gain in national income, while the bottom 90% got only 12%.
This growing wealth gap is not the market's fault. It's the fault of decades of bad economic Republican policy. It seems unfathomable that we are being asked to embrace it for yet another presidential cycle.

What will Mitt Romney do expect give more tax cuts to millionaires and ship his own bucks overseas to Switzerland, the Caymen Islands and every other tax haven he can find? How patriotic of him to pay a 15% tax rate in the US - that's a lower percentage than most secretaries, police officers and firefighters. You can already tell Romney will be great for America. Boy howdy.

I guess I should add to my last post that Mr Obama is nothing if not consistent. I would therefore expect his approaches to problems and the consequent results to be very much the same over the NEXT 4 yrs as they have been in the preceding 3.5 years. So, anyone who is happy with how they personally are doing in our current 'Obamaconomy' should likely vote their pocketbook to continue with Obama at the helm. Anyone who feels that their personal prospects are doing poorly, however, should consider that what you have is what you will get,and consider voting for a different Captain for our economy. It's as simple as that folks - ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE IN JAN 2009? Decide how you'd like it to be and vote accordingly.

HOLLABACKGURL, to quote Cahir's article, "If you want the next four years to look like the last ten, you should vote for him (Mitt Romney)" - somehow "FORGETTING" that three and a half of those "last ten years" involved Obama's big Socialist butt sitting in the Oval Office. My point was that Cahir tries to pretend Obama's 3.5 yrs weren't even there. You, at least, are crediting Obama for our present magnificent economic status of 50% of all last year's college graduates being unemployed, 30% underemployed, and 38% of ALL 18 - 19 year olds being UNEMPLOYED. Further, in 2013, all the Federal Income Tax brackets will jump a level, so a 25% bracket will pay 28%, and a 28% will pay 31%, and so on (but it's "not a tax increase") as part of Obamacare, and the Soc Sec tax will start to again collect 2% more on wages (but it's "not a tax increase"), and the Obamacare Tax upheld by the Supreme Court AS A TAX is being re-classified by Obama as 'not-a-tax', 'cause Obama don't raise no taxes! Yet MY Federal Income taxes will go up at least 5%, and the Capital Gains Tax rate will jump from 15% to whatever an individual's ordinary rate is, so business investing is about to take a big dive. one more hit to the economy... Actually, I don't see Obama saving ANY capitalism, except for maybe CRONY CAPITALISM, double-talking his way into taking Billions MORE from the already-fragile economy so that he can pass it on to his friends in municipal unions and phony 'green industries'. So, credit where it's due, HOLLABACK! - Thanks, Obama!!!

I don't agree kaydog1. Obama had to save capitalism from the ravages of the financial crisis, from Wall Street's casino crash, and from tax cuts to billionaires that they didn't need and our economy couldn't afford. I credit Obama from protecting us from the financial crash those idiots created for us, and for curbing their activities with the introduction of financial controls that protect us from their worst excesses.

Cahir, I will not for a moment contest that we are daily raped by the corporations and plutocrats controlling our lives. That said, I note once AGAIN the standard Leftist refusal to accept ANY responsibility for the problem. CBO just this month released figures that show that US households lost 40% of their net worth since 2009 -40%!!! - 2009 was the 1st of the 2 yrs that Obama had full control of House, Senate, Presidency - yet Leftists hand NONE of the responsibility to Obama. It is a shame that Obama will apparantly have absolutely no legacy after his only term in office, but apparantly, everything that has happened was done by Reagan and Bush, before they left office. Poor, stupid old Obama, he's just a tool of the smart Republicans, just another Leftist victim...

CAhir almost talks directly about my parents. My father worked faithfully for meager wages, selling for a large distributor of bicicles tvs etc.................
his best year was 1984, he made $18000.
Then the distributor went out of business, and my dad took over a couple of lines (ignoring the 10 0thers he had sold) as an independent rep......... The following 5 years (until his health failed at age 80, he only worked part time and made $25000. Basically the owner made more money off him then he paid my dad for 40 years..........YOu may ask why Dad didnt leave earlier and go into business for himself, but its impossible to tell you the economic and emotional trauma he suffered during the great depression............BTW I and my husband are quite wealthy. Why - a string of Good luck and Gods grace , a college education , a chance meeting, even a minor pvt airplane accident were instrumental in us both working for Intel corp for decades and they paid us handsomely -(the then president was Dr. Grove, a holocaust survivor saved by good xtians in Hungary..............So I've changed from repub to democrat, given away $100,000 in college scholarship money to good needy kids........I was purely lucky (and darn near worked myself to death) so I have lots of empathy for the average ex- middle class American. Taken to the cleaners by the repub mostly wall street banks.
BTw in the latest issue of the Nation, it describes how eg Bof America has put all its risky crazy derivatives into the same corporate shell as the depositors money. They just lost $2 billion in the same kind of derivative scam that brought us Bush Jrs disaster. And if they go under - guess who pays the tab - too big to fail, the FDIC and the taxpayers................
time we bust up these conglomerates. a worse scene could result in what

I remember the time just before Reagan--stagflation, the misery index and perpetual engergy crises. The Reagan turnaround was painful, but a revised & simplified tax code, tightened monetary policy and emphasis on a better future brought about a sustained period of prosperity that lasted thru the Clinton administration. You should also note the correlation of who controled Congress, too.

This is one type of Lumpia (Tagalog for Eggroll-it's a Filipino Eggroll). I prefer using Ground Beef and Ground Pork but you can use the Ground Chicken or Ground Turkey along with the Pork also. I DO NOT COOK MY MEAT AND VEGGIES I prefer to mix them together in a bowl with the seasonings and then roll them in the Lumpia to a somewhat small size then deep fry them. They are more flavorful that way. You can cook it if you want to but it may not come out as well. I also prefer to use Chinese Yard Long Pole Beans cut into small diagonal pieces instead of regular Green Beans. I also use MSG in some of my cooking or otherwise known as Accent. It does help to bring flavors out in your cooking, but, this is optional for anyone else but me. I do not use regular Egg Roll Wraps. I prefer to use Lumpia Wraps(o'tasty spring roll wraps is the commercial name for them in the stores) which are larger and come in crepe thin slices. I also prefer to seal my wrappers with raw egg. It comes out better that way but you can use water-flour paste also. I also prefer to cut my veggies into tiny matchstick pieces. It's better that way in the Lumpia but you can do it anyway you want. For a dipping sauce you can use the Lumpia Sauce recipe below but in mine I turn it into a Sweet and Sour Sauce by making Annatto Water and adding 1/3 cup to the recipe instead of water, and 1/4 c crushed pineapples in juice. You can also mix in bits of bell pepper if you like. This is the Annatto Water recipe aka Achiote Water also: In a small heavy saucepan, heat the water over medium heat. Add the annatto seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the water becomes a rich, orange-red color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the water into a jar, discarding the seeds, and keep covered in the refrigerator. You can do the same thing using Oil to make Annatto Oil. I also prefer to use just the soy sauce and about 1/4 vinegar mixed with fresh, not cooked, garlic and onion diced up and crushed with a bit of black pepper or chili peppers crushed in as a dipping sauce. I also like to use 1/4 Fish Sauce(Patis) mixed with 1/2 Lemon or Lime Juice for dipping also. Submitted by BOBBIY Carbs: 13.2g | Fat: 3.9g | Fiber: 1.3g | Protein: 8.7g | Calories: 120.7
The Best Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe Ever! It's the dressing that makes it so good. You can add many different vegetables to this dish to make it your own. Submitted by GENIETEST Carbs: 23.8g | Fat: 13.6g | Fiber: 3g | Protein: 8.7g | Calories: 243

But Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said 22-year-old David Gorczynski of Easton will still face felony terroristic threat charges and disorderly conduct counts, even though the attempted robbery charges were withdrawn.
"The First Amendment does not protect the right of a man to yell 'Fire!' in a crowded theater and, in my view, does not protect the right of a man to enter a bank building and announce the bank is being robbed," Morganelli told reporters Wednesday.
Defense attorney Phil Lauer said he's relieved to see the most serious charges dropped but believes his client's actions were protected by the First Amendment. He said Gorczynski stood silently at the banks' entrances Monday and made no threatening movements toward anyone.
Authorities said Gorczynski also carried another sign that said, "Give a man a gun, he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank, he can rob a country."
"I don't think you can read the criminal complaint, even, without understanding that he was seeking to comment in an interesting . articulate, unusual, maybe annoying way about the way the banking system works," Lauer said.
Morganelli, however, said "You're being robbed" was not a political statement but "a direct statement that brought real fear" to bank workers and customers.
Morganelli said, however, that he would be willing to negotiate a plea deal for Gorczynski and is not seeking prison time.

Serves 6
Like an Italian pot roast, this dish is enriched with sweet seasonal vegetables and red wine. It contrasts beautifully with polenta. Try to find a chuck roast, if you can; it's fattier and more flavorful than a bottom round roast.
With a wooden spoon, mix together 1⁄4 cup of the orange juice, 2 Tbs. garlic, 1 Tbs. tomato paste, and the sage. Add the meat and coat it all over with the marinade. Sprinkle evenly on all sides with the salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a 10-inch, heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. When melted, add the onions, celery, carrots, parsnips, and the remaining 1 Tbs. garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and the vegetables are starting to take on a hint of brown, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1⁄4 cup of tomato paste and the flour, and cook until the flour is no longer visible, no more than 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the wine. Return the pan to the heat, and raise the heat to high. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, the remaining 1⁄2 cup orange juice, the stock, honey, and rosemary, and boil for 5 minutes. Use a potato masher to gently crush the tomatoes, and stir the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the meat in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low until fork-tender, about 10 hours (ideally, turn the meat over halfway through to cook it evenly). Remove and discard the rosemary, then use a large spoon or ladle to skim the fat off the surface of the sauce. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cut off and discard the kitchen twine. Cut into chunks (the meat will be too tender to slice) and return to the sauce. Spoon the meat and sauce over the polenta.

by serwa1, 10/31/2013This was very tasty, next time I will let it cook longer. We used the oven rather than the crockpot. Delicious sauce, we mixed 2 dry reds to add a kick of flavor & 2tbs of honey. Will make for thanksgiving and cook the night before to give the sauce more time to marinate the beef.
by clevage, 3/2/2013Contrary to the other review, my wife and I both found this recipe to be quite tasty. The only alteration I used was I pre made the polenta the night before, sliced it and fried it in some olive oil to make the outside crusty. The consistency of this dish was more of a stew, but it was still ideal to serve over the polenta. Gold star here!
by cozette, 2/25/2013I can best describe this as disappointing. Neither my husband nor I cared for it. There was no rich beef flavor. The meat tasted "boiled." I'll be interested in seeing what other reviewers have to say.

Report: Sony to Launch PS3 Successor in February
Sony will launch a PS3 successor on February 20, the Wall Street Journal reports citing sources familiar with the matter. Sony has officially announced an event on that date, saying the fans will "see the future" of PlayStation, but has not disclosed what, exactly, will be revealed at the event. According to WSJ's sources, Sony will start selling its next-generation PlayStation later this year, competing for attention with Microsoft, which is also likely to launch a new gaming console in 2013.

Fuller, Almost all of the places were visited while I was in the Submarine Service in the late '70's - early '80's. By far my favoritewas Holylock. Many that I served with hated it because they loved to party - rowdy parties with 20-30 mates. This was NOT a place to do that, and the locals had no problem letting them know that. I, on the other hand, preferred to grab a good single-malt scotch by myself or one or two friends and observe the locals. I was always respectful, letting them know that I realized I was in their turf. Once they realized we weren't the typical rowdy US servicemen, they took to us nicely. Spent many pleasant evenings near a fireplace having philosophical discussions with the locals. Had to return to the sub overnight, so can't help with overnight accomadations, plus it was almost 30 years ago so not sure I'd remember. But two places I spent some quality time at were the Holy Loch Inn and the Cot House Hotel in nearby Dunoon. Great times. Rota, Spain - absolute worst. Horribly filthy. Stinks to high heaven. The populace hated Americans and there was a better chance than not of getting mugged or worse. Hate it with a passion. London - the best historical city in the world, but very, very expensive, even back then in pre-Euro days. Stuttgart - probably the most beautiful spot I've ever seen. Castles and the Black Forest. Drunk most of the time unfortunately. Rome - See London Canada - US with a different name All my scary stoies involve hookers, so I better not |

Javal I agree with you on London and Rome. Two of my favorite historical cities to visit. So much history so little time. My first love was medieval and Renaissance history so time I spent in London and Rome was packed with historical sites and art . I was in Rome before the crazy took a hammer to the Pieta so it was not behind glass. We walked right up to it and all around it . One of the most beautiful pieces of art in the world. Denmark is full of history too. All the way back to the Viking ships in Roskilde to the castles all around Copenhagen. When my friends parents took me out to see a 14th century ruins Mor says to us. Well I guess we are going to visit the relatives. My Danish friend's family had lived in the little town for 500 years or more. Been over 30 years since I have been to Europe though . Now my goal is to see as much of the USA as I can. Western history and Civil War with the Revolutionary history bumping in between the Cvil War sites . Susan |

Because of my Hubby's work, we have lived three years in Brazil, three years in Kenya, two years in Portugal, twelve years in The Philippines, and eight years in Venezuela. One son was born in Nairobi, Kenya and one was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Because of those assignments, we also were able to visit a number of other countries including Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Malawi, Kuala Lampur, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Italy, Spain, Germany, northern France, plus we have visited Aruba, Panama and the Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Grand Cayman, Belize, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Maartin, St John, the Bahamas. My favorite place in all the world? Hawaii, USA My favorite country? The United States of America...so great in so many ways My favorite city? Triple tie: San Francisco, CA; Rome, Italy; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Scariest moments? 1. a mounted cavalry charge on the streets of Sao Paulo (1968) my second day in Brazil. I knew one thing. Those police meant business and you got out of the way. A very kind Brazilian guided me into a store where dozens of people cowered behind counters. 2. The morning of the overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos (the People Power Revolution). 3. The morning Hugo Chaves tried to take over Venezuela by force. He failed and fled the country, but we had no idea what was happening, who was "good" and who was "bad" and if anarchy was about to break out and if those low flying fighter planes would bomb our neighborhood. |

The Navy took me to a few places over the years. Some I would love to go back to see again, others, well you could not pay me to go back to others. I was also in the territorial waters of several fascintaing tourist areas where people were doing their best to kill each other; Kuwait, Iraq, the former Yougaslavia, Somalia, Lebanon, Grenada, Haiti and even crossed Khadafi's "Line of Death." Canada (British Columbia, Ontario) Mexico (Acapulco, Matzatlan, Tijuana) Panama (Panama City, Panama Canal) Columbia (Catagena) Bahamas (Nassau) Cuba (Guantanamo Bay) Portugal (Lisbon) Spain (Madrid, Malaga, Ibiza, Palma de Majorca, Rota) France (Toulon, Marseille, Villefranche sur Mer) Italy (Naples, Pompeii, Palermo, Salerno, Venice, Trieste) Greece (Rhodes) Israel (Haifa, Jerusalem) Morocco (Tangier) Egypt (Port Said, Suez Canal) United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Sharjah) Oman (Muscat) Bahrain (Bahrain) 36 States and 2 territories Favorite: The places I would most like to return to are Venice and Pompeii. Worst: I agree with Joe on his opinion of Rota, Spain, the armpit of the world. Most depressing: Christmas in Muscat, Oman. Strangest foreign city: New York. Tom |

Tom I agree about Pompeii and one of my Civil War round table friends is headed there next month along with other places . I would like to go back to England and get out of London area to see more of the countryside. Also go back to Berlin and see what it is like without the Wall down the middle. That was one of the most chilling things I saw on any trip I have been on The Wall Dachua and being given the tour by a German friend . Anne Frank's secret Annex. Those are the most chilling The most memorial bsides the above listed. The crown jewels , Westminster Abby just like I saw them both when I was a kid watching on TV. The Eiffel tower and racing a friend down the stairs from the top. Hey I was a lot younger and in better shiape. The viking ships in Norway and Denmark, The ancient ruins in Rome and Athens. In Rome I thought of the Edith Warton short story Roman Fever. Had to go home before I found out why. Ell Greco paintings and the city of Toledo. then going to the Bullfights and to dinner where Hemingway went in Madrid. The Alps amazing mountains but I still like the Rockies better Don't laugh . . . Standing on the spot where Savonarola burned at the Stake in Florence. I was a medieval -Renaissance History Major what can I say. Seeing the Pieta and the David , The Louvre The Prado and Thorvaldson art museum in Copenhagen. Riding on the Risenvald in Vienna . AND dancing a Viennese Waltz with someone who knew how under the starlight in Vienna . He was a complete stranger I never saw before or ever again. The whole time I was dancing I was thanking my mom for making me take those ballroom dance lessons when I was 12. Now though I will stick to the USA sooo much more to see. I have parts of the Oregon Trail to do, Parks of the Lewis and Clark trail to finish, I have battlefields to visit, Including Little Big Horn. And cemeteries to visit that I can leave. A friend just reminded me I see to drag him to every cemetery I can find . I told him no just the ones with Confederate and Union soldiers to visit. Susan |

My worldly travels are bounded by my Navy career 1971-1977 on the carrier, Enterprise. In four years we steamed enough miles to circle the earth twice! Alameda, CA - our home port at the time & my home for 4 years Bremerton, WA Hawaii Guam Philippines - Subic Bay, Olongapo, Manila Hong Kong x 2 Yankee Station - (no land there - it was in the Tonkin Gulf) Singapore - cleanest city I have ever seen Kenya - Mombasa Karachi, Pakistan Hobart, Tasmania - ok, I DID meet the Tasmanian Devil - that's what she said her name was. Lots of different cultures seen and experienced here. I was always glad to get back to the good 'ol USA, though. Regards, connyankee |

The current default filesystem for Ubuntu is EXT4. This does not normally need de-fragmentation (by design). And their reference to defragmentation: Still want to defrag .. Check out: polishlinux.org > Ext4 defragmentation with e4defrag | |||

Powders for Specialized Skin Care
Posted: October 25, 2006
Colorlab Cosmetics has introduced Active Powders that target specific skin conditions. The powders are reportedly based on natural ingredients such as Pisum sativum (pea) and algae extracts to improve skin firmness and have been designed to be used with the company's private label custom blend mineral line. Five blends of powders are offered, including: Firming Complex, Moisturizing Complex, Eye Brightening Complex, Lightening Complex and Balancing Complex.
The firming powder is an antiaging active that reportedly restores firmness and protects that skin. According to the company, the powder also smooths the skin and increases cell regeneration in the epidermis.
Hydrating is the goal of the moisturizing complex. The active ingredient in the powder is Cassia angustifolia (senna) seed polysaccharide, which the company reports to retain moisture in the skin. The product is claimed to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and moisturize.
The eye brightening active powder combines four plant extracts: algae, Ruscus aculeatus (butcher's broom) root, Centella asiatica (gotu kola) and Calendula officinalis flower. The product reportedly reduces dark circles, eye puffiness and improves capillary circulation.
The lightening complex is reported by the company to offer long term lightening effects on areas of hyperpigmentation without affecting surrounding skin. The powder combines algae extract, Waltheria indica (sleepy morning) leaf extract and ferulic acid to inhibit melanin production and lighten the skin.

Nature is the inspiration for much of my photographic work and I enjoy seeking out and probing into the hidden areas of the natural world. I am particularly drawn to water and conditions with unusual light, and these elements are featured in some manner in most of my compositions. Sunlight, tides, and the seasons - they each have both rhythmic and unpredictable components; working with them requires disciplined planning but also an ability to react to the unexpected in the field. It is these contrasting elements that make photography exciting for me and every day with my camera a great adventure.

According to the homeowner, his neighbor on the 700 block of Independence Drive saw a teenage boy, later identified by police as the 17-year-old, throwing a brick into the back entrance of the house about 11 a.m. He said his internal motion detectors went off and the home alarm sounded a short time later.
The homeowner told police that a handgun had been stolen from his house.
"Responding units saw the suspect jump the west sound wall on South Tracy Boulevard, adjacent to Menay Drive," said Sgt. Tony Sheneman of the Tracy Police Department. "Before he could get out, we set up a perimeter."
During a search of the neighborhood, police found a loaded 9 mm handgun magazine in the roadway at Independence Drive and Tracy Boulevard, which police believe was stolen from the allegedly burglarized home.
Sheneman said he and Sgt. Mark Duxbury arrived at the Monument Drive entrance to the Regency Square subdivision and saw a young man matching the burglar's description peeking over a backyard wall on Tahoe Circle.
Sheneman said the suspect ducked behind the wall, and area residents said they heard him jumping fences into adjacent backyards.
The teenage suspect was found hiding in the backyard of Tony Doria's house.
Doria, a 21-year resident of Tahoe Circle, said he saw the police in front of his house with guns drawn, and saw the suspect hiding behind a tree in his backyard.
"I was glad to see the police out there," he said. "I was glad to see them come that fast."
The teenager, whose name was not released by investigators because of his age, surrendered to police and was placed under arrest on the 1500 block of Tahoe Circle shortly before noon.
During a search by officer Dan Pasquale and his K-9 partner, Cid, the allegedly stolen 9 mm handgun was found in the backyard of Hector Menez on Tahoe Circle.
Menez said he was home Tuesday morning because his daughter was sick. He recalled hearing dogs barking in the area, but he didn't know the alleged burglar was in his yard.
"I saw the police cars, and I ran out and asked what's going on," Menez said. "He was in my backyard. It's scary. This is a quiet neighborhood."
Following the arrest, Menez told police he saw the suspect going door-to-door in the neighborhood Monday evening, asking if anyone needed yard work done. Menez said the teenager told him he needed money to buy a card for his mother, but he had no equipment.
The 17-year-old faces burglary charges, police said.

I installed new modules for the card with the dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw firmware and mythtv found the channels. Not finding channels must just be a problem with not loading the kubuntu dvb modules, not the firmware.
Anyway, whichever firmware, mythtv still crashes after a short time in livetv mode.
I think the only solution will be to either wait for a LMCE update that fixes the myth integration, or wait for totallymaxed to release a stable VDR integation.

LMCE Developer Community, I address this reply to forum post to you.
Clearly there are som issues with MythTV (lmce remote interface towards myth tv backend?).
If bugs will not be fixed, ok, fair enough. But, surely there are lots of users that run MythTV successfully. The real question is what should be disabled or removed to successfully run MythTV? Does the problems first occur if you install a IR remote? (iMon, Windows MCE Receiver and so on)
I have been hacking LMCE for 1 month now, so far I have a rather sad simple UI with no 3D due to ATI onboard graphics. I have DVD running but with audio sync issues running Sone1 DVDs, I have multipe instanses of several of my media files in the file list. I just got rid of audio overload, and just got 720p working on onboard HDMI after hacking bios.
I have some friends waiting for my conclusion on my setup so they can order same components and do the same software setup. I am still hopeing LMCE will rock, but as it is now LCDPROC is missing in package source tree of LMCE (?) and the setup wizard within LMCE did not successfully set up audio or tv. I have a iMon RFD and WHEEL on Antec Fusion, not working due to LMCE lircd interface.. I have not found a way to change the lirc0 / lirc1 device setting for each instance of lircd. so I have iMon on lirc0 but a MCE remote receiver on lirc1 and LMCE set to try both devices on same device number.
Lots of issues, but I like the project. Hope to get some conclusion on what to do to make TV functioning.
Keep up the good work and let me know if I should file some bug reports on any

Has anyone made any progress on vdr integration instead of using myth tv??
I found this in the achives (
) for vdr integration into pluto - don't know how well this would work in linuxmce) if it does provide working vdr integration at all)
'Hi Andre,
Yes, VDR seems very impressive. It fell below our radar because I don't think it works in the US--our satellite is encryped and their are no PC cards. However, I've done installs in Europe with Myth and our analog cards and it's a total nightmare. Not only the xmltv grabber, but also controlling the satellite box with i/r since every sat box maps channels differently. So, it sounds like VDR is perfect for Europe, and the Americans will probably stick to Myth. Fortunately, it's easy to have both.
First, create a Device Template called 'VDR' in category DCESoftware Wrappers/Media Players. Check that it implements DCE, and check command groups: TV commands and Smart Media Player for now. Add the event 'Playback Info Changed'. Add "This device is controlled via category: Category: Standard Orbiter". This means it's parent device (which spawns it) will be an orbiter. The on screen orbiter will take responsibility for launching VDR in one of our ratpoison windows.
Next, create a Device Template called 'VDR Plug-in'. This will be a plug-in in the router that runs in the same memory space, and manages all the VDR devices. It implements DCE, and check 'Is Plugin'. Also add "This device is controlled via: Device:DCERouter Category: DCE Router". Add the command group 'PVR' plugin.
Now, for both devices run: ./DCEGen -d [DeviceTemplate] from the DCEGen directory within the source tree. That will create the projects in ../VDRxxxx.
For VDR do a: make bin, for VDR Plugin, do a: make so
Put both the resulting binaries in /usr/pluto/bin. In Advanced, Devices, remove teh Myth Plugin from DCE Router, and add VDR Plugin, and remove Myth Player from under OnScreen orbiter, and add VDR.
Now, when you do a 'quick reload router', next time you choose TV it will use VDR instead. So on to the implementation:
You can copy mostly from Myth Plugin/PLayer. Starting with the plugin. Add MediaHandlerBase as a 2nd base class. The Media Plugin will call methods derived in there. Put the ! after the //<-dceag tag (means DCEAuto generated). Otherwise next time you run DCEGen for the plugin it will overwrite your change. ! means 'leave it alone'. Otherwise DCEGen overwrites, because you re-run DCEGen everytime you change the command specs (choose Merge to merge in changes).
class MythTV_PlugIn : public MythTV_PlugIn_Command, public MediaHandlerBase
Add the mandatory implementations from Media Handler Base:
/** @brief Each Plugin will create its own instance of MediaStream, so it can create a derived version with extra information */
virtual class MediaStream *CreateMediaStream(class MediaHandlerInfo *pMediaHandlerInfo,vector<class EntertainArea *> &vectEntertainArea,MediaDevice *pMediaDevice,int iPK_Users, deque<MediaFile *> *dequeMediaFile,int StreamID)=0;
virtual bool StartMedia(class MediaStream *pMediaStream)=0;
virtual bool StopMedia(class MediaStream *pMediaStream)=0;
For the moment, just make CreateMediaStream return a new, generic stream. You will likely want to create a more specialized one, like VDR Media Stream which has VDR specific information (like channel, satellite, etc.). That way when VDR Plugin gets a command to move tv from one room to the next you can restore all the settings. But for now just:
return new MediaStream(pMediaHandlerInfo, pMediaDevice, 0, st_RemovableMedia,StreamID);
Then make a simple implementation of StartMedia:
bool VDR_PlugIn::StartMedia(class MediaStream *pMediaStream)
DCE::CMD_Start_TV cmd(m_dwPK_Device, pMediaStream->m_pMediaDevice_Source->m_pDeviceData_Router->m_dwPK_Device);
DCE:: is a namespace. If you have auto-complete, when you type DCE:: it will give you a list of all commands with the syntax for all the parameters.
In the register function, do this. This find the media plugin, and registers your VDR plugin with it. Since they are both plugins running in the same memory space, they can call each other's methods directly. Normally all pluto devices run as separate programs sending messages over sockets (it's safer). But for media, you normally need a plug-in that will have low-level access to the same classes that media plugin uses:
/** Get a pointer to the media plugin */
ListCommand_Impl *pListCommand_Impl = m_pRouter->m_mapPlugIn_DeviceTemplate_Find(DEVICETEMPLATE_Media_Plugin_CONST);
if( !pListCommand_Impl || pListCommand_Impl->size()!=1 )
g_pPlutoLogger->Write(LV_CRITICAL,"VDR plug in cannot find media handler %s",(pListCommand_Impl ? "There were more than 1" : ""));
return false;
m_pMedia_Plugin=(Media_Plugin *) pListCommand_Impl->front();
m_pMedia_Plugin->RegisterMediaPlugin(this, this, XXXXX, true);
Note that XXXXX is the device template for VDR. Last thing, add a record to DeviceTemplate_MediaType table in pluto_main database where FK_DeviceTemplate is the VDR, and FK_MediaType is 1 (Live TV). Compile and put your binaries in place. The RegisterMediaPlugin tells Media Plugin that your VDR_Plugin is responsible for managing the VDR devices, which accodring to the database, can handle live tv.
Now do a quick reload DCERouter, either from an orbiter, or send it a reload message: MessageSend localhost 0 -1001 7 1
When you watch the DCERouter logs (/var/log/pluto/DCERouter.newlog) you should see that it registers your VDR Plugin. Also, if you do a screen -ls, a copy of VDR should be running, and you should see it registered in DCERouter's log.
Now hit 'tv' from an orbiter (not the onscreen display on the m/d--use an orbiter on another PC). You should see in the VDR logs:
Need to implement CMD_Start_TV
This means everything is working. And, on the orbiter you should see a pvr remote control. As you tune channels, fast forward, rewind, channel surf, etc. you should see in the VDR logs all these messages.
Eventually we can create a new remote for VDR that has extra VDR-specific buttons. But for now it's best to use the basic one because it's important that VDR implements the same 'smart media player' commands the same way, which is what ensures all remote controls (i/r, phone, tablet, etc.) will work the same way and provide basic control.
If you get stuck, I'll be happy to login and look at the code with you and help. When you're ready, I'll show you how to do a sqlCVS checkin. That will checkin your database changes. And we'll checkin your code into our SVN as well. That way our automated build system will start building your devices.'

Just thought I would add that I am also experiencing this problem.
I have a Hauppauge Nova-T single tuner card with the Connexant CX88 firmware on it.
Has a solution been found to this yet? I will gladly help with any information that I can. The recording still works when it crashes like other people have reported. I am running it on the medium graphics settigns.
I have the following system:
CPU: P4 3.0ghz
Ram: 1gig
GFX: Nvidia GeforceFX 5200
Just wondering if there is an update to this problem. Please msg me or email me if you want to know more details I will gladly supply to the best of my know how.
Keep up the great work

I am also experiencing freezes in Myth under LMCE using a Nova-T 500. This card works perfectly in Myth from KDE desktop.
Gazlang, have you managed to get VDR working with this hardware in LMCE - if so, is it stable?

Just wondering if anything is happening with regard to this. I will willingly contribute to help sort this problem out. I feel that it is a big problem that currently doesn't seem to be getting addressed by the LinuxMCE community.
Could anyone advise where I start debugging this problem such as log files etc.
Any starter advice would be greatly received.
If not can anyone recommned a DVB-T card that doesn't crash when watching Live TV on the core?

Hi Acematti
If you read this whole post you will see that it seems to be a problem relating to the mythtv-plugin. I would guess that mythtv works fine if you launch it from the kde desktop. I also seem to not have the problem when running on a remote media director. HoweverI have not had much chance to confirm this properlt.

trisc, I have not tried integrating VDR myself, I just thought my previous post may be useful to those who are working on it.
I'm not sure what setup / hardware allows mythtv to work fine in LMCE - many users must have success using mythtv, particularly the developers, or else LMCE would not have been released as is.
It may be useful if those who do not see this problem with mythtv post their setup information.

Yeah most definitely,
I would really like to see if anyone has actually got a DVB-T card working correctly in LinuxMCE.
I posted mine as not currently working on the wiki but I dont think that many people even look at that. It seems a bit all over the shop on the Wiki so it may be putting people off on how to find out what hardware is working etc. If anyone needs a hand making the Hardware Compatability Page any better I would love to help.
Keep up the good work everyone

Well it appears that LMCE have recruited a developer of mythtv for improving myth integration:
'daniel's first short-term goal is to improve the integration of LinuxMCE and MythTV for the 0710 release.'
(see LMCE news page)
Also, there will be a vdr option in the 7.10 release due by the end of november.
Hopefully that will be the end of the mythtv woes :-)

Does MythTV work under KDE, but not in LMCE?
Is there anybody that sees this problem on media directors as well?
Has anybody got the capture card in a media director?
Ok, from what I gather everyone is waiting for the next release of LMCE for this problem to go away. I finally hooked up my cable this weekend to my core and found out that I am also having the same problem. I found no help thus far from this thread other then seeing that a lot of people are having the same problem.
I saw that no one seemed to answer these questions straight out so I figured I would.
1. Yes Myth TV works fine under KDE. It only freezes up under LMCE
2. I am unsure being that I have yet to connect my media directors
3. Not Yet
Has anyone come up with a working solution for Myth that doesn't require us to wait for the next release?

I think it seems that people are just resigned to the fact that it will be fixed in the future updates. However nobody as far as I am aware has confirmed that it even will be fixed so I would like to try and find a fix for it for myself.
I would be very willing to help mine also works in KDE fine just not in LinuxMCE.
If you want any help with the trying to fix this then please email me or msg me. I hang around too in the IRC room so i maybe there my name in IRC is matt1982.
Hopefully maybe together we could come up with a fix instead of waiting a month or more.

This issue has been logged in Mantis and has been assigned to webpaul. I am hoping this means it is on its way to being resolved. If you have any extra input then it would be worth adding it to the mantis issue.
In the meantime I am just rewinding the live tv by a couple of seconds to get round this. Not very elegent tho...

We have them working fine here but we don't use MythTV. We are using VDR. The issue with TV freezing is one that is being addressed now, and is for the moth part MythTV related, and is explained clearly in this posting to another thread;

Welcome to Lake Tahoe Crystalline waters and world-class ski resorts make Lake Tahoe one of the world's most popular mountain resort destinations. Set at a high altitude, the crisp air smells of pine forests as the seventy-two miles of shoreline boasts pristine beaches, boating access, lakefront golf and casinos. In South Lake, the most populated section of Lake Tahoe, Harrah's and Harvey's stand high, next to the newly built Montbleu Casino. Heavenly Ski Resort, South Lake restaurants, cabins and vacation rentals are just minutes away. Nearby is Zephyr Cove, where boats embark (many serving dinner) towards Emerald Bay, which is one of the Lake Tahoe's most idyllic inlets. Only an hour away is North Lake Tahoe, which has a more rustic feel and is home to some of the more expensive Tahoe vacation destinations, including Squaw Valley and the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe. Visitors traveling to Lake Tahoe will enjoy the alpine climate, the perfect powder snow in the winter and gorgeous beach, boating and hiking weather in the summer.

Store History
- Founded by: Michael McHale
Michael McHale walked into a design store one day to purchase a light fixture for his New York apartment. Unimpressed with either the materials or the message of what was on offer, he thought he could do a better job himself. What he ended up making proved to be more interesting than he had hoped. His choice of materials — industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal — conveyed a powerful message of what is capable of beauty when considered properly. The work became an affirmation of what's possible– much like McHale's own late artistic blooming.

F1 discussion
I'm no fan of Alonso's… but… well.. his overtake on Grosjean was quite something.
Just some moves I really enjoyed:
Grosjean on Hamilton & Alonso on Di Resta Raikkonen on Maldo (my favorite!) Schumacher on Button & Webber on Perez
-Alonso on Grosjean -Raikkonen on Maldonado
Raikkonen vs Hamilton – obviously not as good as Alonso on Grosjean but still:
And here's Raikkonen on Maldonado:
Alonso on Grosjean:
Alonso on the Hulk:
Grosjean on Hamilton was also excellent.
Alonso on Grosjean
Honourable mention to Grosjean on Hamilton… and Raikkonnen on Maldonado.
Grosjean on Hamilton and Alonso on Grosjean. Both very agressive but very well executed.
Easy. Grosjean on Hamilton.
Maldonado on Hamilton. A very effective way of ensuring your pass sticks!
Otherwise, probably Grosjean on Hamilton. Although several other drivers pulled off similar moves, so Romain can't take all the credit!
Why haven't we heard anything about a penalty to Alonzo for stopping on track ….. remember a few weeks ago hamilton getting sent to the back of the grid??
Grosjean on Hamilton and Raikkonen on Maldonado. Both Lotus' drivers made crucial and wonderful overtakes
