With three successors and design limitations posing as hurdles for security updates, Microsoft's iconic Internet Explorer 6 (MSIE 6) web-browser had been deemed a security vulnerability for anyone using it, and Microsoft undertook a campaign to get the world to update their MSIE to the latest MSIE 9. With December 2011 web-browser usage statistics out by several sources, the usage of MSIE 6 in the United States dropped below the 1% mark, causing Microsoft claim that the United States bid goodbye to MSIE 6. The MSIE team celebrated this development with a ceremonious cake and a little afterhours party. MSIE 6 now makes up 0.9% of the US web-browser market. Czech Republic, Portugal, The Philippines, Ukraine and Mexico, are the other countries where MSIE 6 holds under 1% of the market. The browser is used by 25% of Chinese internet users (a huge number). Interestingly, South Korea, which has some of the fastest consumer ISP networks in the world, has 7.2% usage. 5.9% of Japanese netizens are still stuck to the decade-old browser, and so are 5.4% Indian users. Overall, MSIE 6 still holds 7.7% of the global web-browser market-share, which is respectable, considering it's greater than those of Apple Safari (Mac/PC), and Opera, and disturbing, considering it is a very vulnerable piece of software unless it's used for closed VPN intranets. More stats can be found here. Source: Windows Team Blog
I believe China's IE6 rate is so high because they have a high piracy rate over there. The most popular pirated OS is Win2000 over in China, and if i'm not mistaken IE6 is the highest browser that Win2k can use. They also turn auto off updates over there as to not download WGA and stuff like that so that contributes.
Because people of PRC [are made to] believe that "the great firewall of China" checks online threats for them (when it's in fact a censorship tool).
those look eerily similar @drone: they don't want people using an old version either, they want them on 8 or 9. it only hurts their reputation with how horrible 6 really is.
A lot of corporations were stuck at 6 because of software designed specific for 6. They're celebrating the fact that those corporations got unstuck from that rut and they're not likely to get stuck again.
Hoorah! Though it's been a couple years since I've actually taken IE6 flaws into consideration when building sites. Was low enough then to ignore it.
Place where my dad works....they are still forced to use IE5 because the boss dont want the staff surfing the net all day so there are some sites my dad cant go to because the browser isnt supported.
That's changing quick. I found Windows 7 CDs for 7 yuan a pop (which is about $1 USD) when I was there over the summer.
How closed exactly? I'm consulting for a major engineering firm that still has computers using IE6. The push to IE8 happened in fact in the last two months or so of 2011. Most users have access to the internet, of course up to a certain extent. Are they counted in the stats? Also, they're going to get stuck on IE8 for a while now too. Windows 7 is only in test phase and not on the horizon company wide. I don't think the Win 7 users are even testing IE9 yet.
i was using IE6 on one of the office terminal just a few months ago lol, need to update it for sharepoint usage hehe.
this is mostly due to that most computers in China are still running windows XP, even a lot of the new computers are sold with XP as well, IE6 comes with XP, and they never bother to update it, because in China they use their own browsers. (developed by chinese companies)
Closed, as in completely cut off from the internet, and only connected to local servers over LAN, or "global" servers over VPN, these VPNs are so configured to be the client machines' only "internet gateway", and are governed by user policies so they can't configure anything or install any software. Think of the computers in banks, air/rail ticketing, sensitive areas of a large business/corporation, etc.
how lame has the world gotten that we have to celebrate the death of a shitty software program that hardly anyone has used in years? thats like having a party when your neighbors you hate dog dies finally. do we really have nothing better to do? perhaps thats why IE isnt as good as it could be... the people who develop it are busy farting around throwing parties for stupid crap like this. get a fucking life. LONG LIVE FIREFOX
Im not surprised. Thats what corporate people do. Celebrate on nonsensical stuff.. and most probably just wanted some time away from their desks

Right after the Mifflin Meteorite fell in SW Wisconsin in April 2010 the Robert A. Pritzker Assistant Curator of Meteoritics and Polar Studies Dr. Philipp R. Heck coordinated an international study to determine the time it spent in space and to calculate its size in space before it got ablated and broke apart in our atmosphere. Now, first results obtained from this study are published as extended abstracts, and were presented in more detail in March at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas: The new results show that Mifflin was travelling through space as a small 3 feet object for about 20 Million years before it landed in Wisconsin.
Private meteorite collector and Collections & Research Committee member Terry Boudreaux donated to the Field Museum two specimens of the iron meteorite Gebel Kamil that formed a 45-m-wide impact crater in the southwestern corner of Egypt (East Uweinat Desert) near the Sudanese and Lybian border. The crater was discovered through Google Earth in 2009 on a Cretaceous sandstone surface; the impact occurred less than 5000 years ago as reported in a recent article in Geology.
The first meteorites were recovered in February. This exciting discovery was reported by the Italian-Egyptian group in the journal Science in August 2010. This first investigation indicates that the impactor did not suffer much during atmospheric entry and hit Earth almost fully intact. There are only about 200 confirmed impact structures on Earth.

Last Friday, we reported on Egypt's recent attempt to curb transmission of the human H1N1 epidemic by butchering all 300,000 of its pigs. Experts we interviewed said there was no sound rationale for such a move, because pigs had never been infected with the new virus, which has sickened at least 1085 people in 21 countries – until now.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recently announced that a herd of pigs in Alberta might have caught the new virus from a Canadian who had recently spent time in Mexico, ground zero for the current epidemic. Fortunately, both man and pigs have recovered or are in the process getting better, but the incident raises a new question: do pigs now pose a threat to humans?
Rodney Baker, a senior clinician at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames, is not too worried about this particular herd of sick pigs, because it's small (only about 2,000 animals he estimates, some 200 of which have reportedly fallen ill) and relatively isolated (about six miles, or 10 kilometers from the next farm). He tells ScientificAmerican.com that even if the virus were to take root in the broader pig population, odds are it would become more adapted to pigs and less adapted to humans. The likelihood of the virus genetically morphing into a new, more deadly strain capable of jumping from pigs and back into humans is extremely low.
But the virus doesn't need to change to be a threat, says Israel's former chief veterinary officer Arnon Shimshony. Pigs can pass the original virus right back to humans, particularly if they are coughing and sneezing, and thereby shedding virus particles, as media reports suggest, Shimshony tells us. The Canadian government is wise to quarantine these animals, he adds, but notes that he does not have enough information about the case to offer advice on slaughtering them.
The good news, Baker points out, is that the pigs do not appear to have passed the virus back to humans, as there are no reports of other farm workers getting sick. He suspects the new virus will continue popping up on pig farms, because farm workers in the U.S., many of whom travel back-and-forth from Mexico, will continue to be exposed to the virus. And for that reason, he says, we need a vaccine for the pigs as well as the people.

There are too many pigs. If this isn't a problem now it could be a problem in the future. The WHO has to come up with a pig limit for these so called farms which are in reality concentration camps for animals. Once this safe, healthy pig limit is determined it needs global reinforcement. The swine operators are going from country to country looking for the weakest regulations right now. There were probably more sick pigs that have already been slaughtered and are now in grocery stores everywhere.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this1. Of course, the real problem is that there are too many humans.
2. If we did not eat pigs, pigs would not be bred and so would not exist to be slaughtered. It's the old conundrum, is it better to have a short life and a bad one or not to exist at all?

To unlock new secrets of the universe, Stephanie Majewski has to brush up on her French. The 27-year-old particle physicist is part of an international collaboration working on ATLAS, one of two experiments the size of small apartment buildings that will soon come online near Geneva, Switzerland.
Majewski, a postdoctoral fellow at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., knew when she got her PhD last year that she wanted to work on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the circular particle accelerator 17 miles (27 kilometers) in circumference straddling the Franco-Swiss border.
In coming months, the LHC will begin to slam together twin beams of protons at the highest energies ever achieved in a science experiment. ATLAS and CMS are the two main particle detectors designed to sift the debris, looking for the long-awaited Higgs boson and other elusive quarry.
"It's the place to be for particle physics," she says. "This may be the last large accelerator that turns on, at least for awhile." To make herself known in a collaboration of more than 1,700 people from 37 countries, Majewski will spend the next year living in Meyrin, Switzerland, close to ATLAS and the LHC at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
The U.S. has been home to the premier particle physics experiment, the Tevatron at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., for more than two decades. Now the LHC is taking up that mantle. Its imminent start-up—CERN plans to inject the first fully circulating beam through the LHC next week, followed in coming weeks by the first collisions—means a new phase in the lives of the nearly 2,000 U.S. researchers who are working on LHC experiments.
Not all of them will have to learn the French for, "no, black holes are not about to destroy the world." But as part of an international team, "the U.S. has to do its share," says Fermilab's Joel Butler, head of U.S. CMS operations.
The U.S. CMS group consists of about 130 engineers, technicians and computer scientists plus about 600 physicists and graduate students. Butler says he expects that at any given time, somewhere between 150 and 200 of them will be at CERN.
The LHC will only run for about seven months out of the year, from late spring to late December. Although the CMS detector is inaccessible during that time, a pair of control rooms—one underground, one above ground—contain much of the electronics for the experiment as well as computers for processing the data.
"Some problems can only be solved by going down into the underground control room and fiddling with the electronics or making replacements of failed components," Butler says. During the downtime from late December to March, workers may have to open the detector to fix problems or perform routine maintenance.
A typical experience for a postdoc might be to spend a year or two at CERN to speed communication within the experiment. Two other postdocs in Majewski's group are currently stationed at CERN, taking shifts in the ATLAS control room. "We have to watch to make sure that everyone in our group gets enough trips to CERN so that we all can attend meetings in person and stay connected to our collaborators," she says.
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has four postdocs working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, along with two PhD students, one staff scientist and one co-team leader, Su Dong, co-leader of SLAC's ATLAS team, says. He recommends that young researchers spend 1.5 to two years at CERN. Although there's an added cost to moving there, extended stays end up being cheaper than many shorter trips, he says.
Having eyes and ears at CERN was definitely an advantage this year, as the lab scrambled to get the collider up and running on schedule after years of delays. "It was really important to have people there who could run into someone in the hall and get an update," Majewski says.
Once the LHC begins colliding protons, researchers will have to learn how to interpret the raw data from detectors and translate it into real physics. That's where conversations over the lunch table come into play: Talking to someone on site who knows the detectors may provide the key to interpreting a funny looking piece of data, Su Dong says. Ideally, relationships built at CERN translate to improved communication after researchers return to the U.S. "Once you get to know them it's much easier to talk to them over a remote link," Butler says.
Of course, not all institutions can afford to send researchers to CERN or take them away from teaching duties. Another option for U.S. CMS researchers who can't make the trek to Switerland is to take a shift at a remote operations center (ROC) established at Fermilab. From there, researchers can monitor day-to-day operations of the experiment and work with CERN staff to keep it running smoothly.
Historically, CERN experiments have not had remote operations, Butler says. But the CMS experiment and its control rooms are located on the far side of the LHC, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the main CERN campus. So the lab created a second monitoring station to allow researchers to track the experiment from the main office.

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Potter County Commissioners sworn-in Jan. 1, 2013Potter County Commissioners sworn-in Jan. 1, 2013
In the District Court building in Amarillo, Jan. 1, 2013, Potter County Commissioners H.R. Kelly, Leon Church and Mercy Murguia were sworn-in by 47th District Judge Dan L. Schapp.
Murguia is filling the term of the late Manny Perez whose term ends December 2014.
She said she strongly believes in transparent government.
"One of the platforms that I promised to my constituents is that I would hold quarterly town hall meetings. And so that has certainly been very heartfelt to see the level of engagement, the level of questions that constituents are really taking time to understand where their taxpayer dollars are going."
The 47th District Attorney Randall Sims, and the new Tax Assessor/Collector, Sherri Aylor were also sworn-in.
Sims said he wants Potter County to be paperless.
He said, "It's still my goal I hope at some point to get the criminal justice system for it to be paperless here in Potter County. And I'd be looking forward to try to get that accomplished. It just takes a while to make that happen."

Chef's Table at the Edgewater
Online Reservations
Once again, the Chef's Table provided a wonderful evening of food and wine in an atmosphere that was warm, comfortable, and just the right level of buzz to carry on a private conversation easily but still feel that you are out for a special evening. Excellent courses to choose from and each is offered with a wine pairing that is expertly matched to the course. If you want, however, there is always the flexibility to vary from the pairing and knowledgeable staff to help with other recommendations. This not our first trip here and it won't be our last. With all the dining choices offered in Metropolitan Orlando it is especially pleasing that one of if not the best is steps from my door. Thank you Chef Kevin and to all of your team!
Great food wonderful service made a special occasion even better
My wife and I went for our anniversary. The servers and chef were very friendly and explained all dishes. We had the 3 course dinner with the wine pairing. The main entrees were delicious and the portion size were surprisingly big for a prix-fixe style menu. By the time the dessert course came I could hardly eat anymore. I would definitely recomend this restaurant.
Though off the beaten path from Orlando this place was definitely worth the drive. Ranks with the best restaurants we have been to throughout the country. Attentive but non intrusive wait staff and the food is fantastic. Three course meal will fill even the hungriest of appetites. Highly recommend.
My wife and I went for our Anniversary. Mushroom Crepe and Foie Gras to start - out of this world!! The wife had Black Grouper (best fish we have had in Florida) and I the Filet for Main Course (very tender, excellently cooked and very flavorful glaze). Chocolate Bread Pudding and Butter Cake for dessert - outstanding!!! Definitely DO the wine pairing. Very knowledgeable and welcoming servers. Quality of the experience for the price - a perfect 10. Will definitely go back.
Quaintly located and decorated. I went here while going through a list of restaurants to scope out for an upcoming anniversary with my wife. On my way out, I realized that I am done searching. Legitimately some of the best food I've ever had the privilege of eating anywhere, and that's saying something. Three courses - three 5 star dishes. The staff gave a VERY in depth breakdown of each menu item so that I could make informed decisions. After I commented on the incredible quality of my meal to my server, the chef came out to talk to me, which was very cool. I would recommend to absolutely anyone for any occasion. While pricey, the meal may be underpriced relative to its quality. Best restaurant in Orlando, in my informed opinion.
The menu offerings for the three courses were laid out to satisfy even the most discriminating dinner guests. We loved everything from start to finish. Tim took the time to explain each item in great detail which really only made the decision on what to choose more difficult...smile. It ALL sounded so good. We will definitely go back. Like the set pricing for the meal...no surprises with final check amount.
Chef's table has great tasting food, When you go, make sure you reserve a table in the back room and skip the wine paring, you will do much better selecting from their extensive wine list with some very good selections. The wait staff is great and take great pains to explain the menu and find appropriate wines, but as one of my chef friends counseled me. "You will go away hungry." I also found the presentation weak. All in all, I would say it is overpriced.
We really enjoyed this experience. The mushroom starter is a must have. The entrees were both great too. Very knowledgeable helpful service.
Just fantastic from start to finish! You must must try the mushroom tarte. That said, the grilled foie gras with the berry gastrique stole the show. We couldn't stop talking about it. Also, our server was super knowledgeable and helpful. When I asked about a potential beer pairing instead of the wine her eyes lit up and we chatted a good while and she made some excellent suggestions that were all quite splendid. I had a bottle of the Dogfish head Sah Tea, infused with juniper berries and chai tea. Yum! Just great all around, intimate dining setting, perfect for special occasions.
Un-real. So good. The levels of flavors in the dish will almost make your tongue jump for joy.
Service was much slower than usual. Also, missed the personal attention of the chef and the maitre'de.
I love all the staff and the food. The food is so delicious and staff always try to make your dining experience special.
Simply amazing. What a gem to have in downtown Winter Garden. An A+ dining experience. My filet was perfect, the duck breast my wife ordered was even better. Mushroom torte appetizer is to die for.
Cute place behind Tasty Room which serves yummy looking food in tapas style. We dined at the Chef's Tablefor a special occasion. The service was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Nice place for a cozy dinner.
Amazing mushroom torte, and the best filet anywhere, with the perfect sear on the outside and just a touch of sauce. Great new potato recipe, too. But the really special thing is the amazingly personal service from every member of the staff. A remarkable restaurant.
Having dined at The Chef's Table since the beginning, every meal since the first, seems to come across more vibrant than the one before! There is the hope, now the expectation, that my meal will reflect the great creativity and high food standards set early on. This visit I ordered duck, which I usually avoid at restaurants. It was marvelous! I am always pleased to find new items on the menu, perfectly prepared, and a wine flight that was out of this world!
My girlfriend & I were visiting Orlando for vacation & wanted to have a nice dinner out somewhere that wasn't Disney or a chain. We researched a few different "best restaurants" lists and the Chef's Table came up multiple times so we thought we'd give it a shot. We are so glad we did! The food was amazing, the servers (everyone helped out) were all super nice and even though it is a small back room with a few other tables around it still feels very intimate and romantic. The menu changes up every week I think, but they have a couple of house specialties that never change and for good reason. We made sure to order at least 1 of the specialty items from each course and they were amazing! Anytime we come back to Orlando we're going back!
Took my "new friend " there after a tough day at work for her; and it worked. Staff was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and a very good sense of timing and humor!
The service was top notch. Our server explained every single dish on the menu to us in detail. Everything we had was delicious!! We did the wine pairing with the dinner and the chef did an outstanding job pairing the wines to each dish. We will definitely be back.
Great restaurant. The food was outstanding. Planning to return very soon
Our party of 6 enjoyed great food that was properly prepared and served with pride. Our waitress did an excellent job of explaining the details of each item on the menu, the food arrived pleasingly plated and tasted great. Our thanks to the team at the Chef's Table for providing a great meal for us to enjoy and catch up on old times.
This was a birthday dinner that will always be remembered. The service was impeccable, food delicious, and ambience perfect. Thank you for making his birthday perfect.
Nice place and outstanding service and fantastic food
fantastic food, knowledgeable server, great wine list, intimate ambiance. will definitely be back!
Enjoyed our evening and an excellent meal. We highly recommend it.
Ever feel like you were the only one in the restaurant and everyone was cooking, serving just for you? That's what Chef's Table is like. As well as an array of beautiful flavors and combinations tantalize the pallet.
Wonderful service, delicious food in a cozy romantic setting! We loved it!
A totally unbelievable dining experience! We felt like royalty! Food, service, ambiance were the best we've ever had! Can't wait to bring family and friends!
The concept for the Chef's Table in Winter Garden is one of a kind. Nestled in the back rooms of the old Edgewater hotel, the seating is limited and cozy. the prix fixe menu spotlights Chef Kevin's favorite creations and each choice is very good. The wine list is fairly extensive and offers choices from around the world, not only California.
I was a little bit skeptical about this place after reading its reviews, but we decided to give it a try for my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary dinner. This place was pretty expensive, and they postcard looking thing they brought out for the special event was...really lame. However the food was spectacular. We did the Mushroom and Chive Crepe Torte (HIGHLY recommend), Chef's Fire Grilled Filet with Maitake Mushroom, Sweet Potato Puree and Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Chocolate Bread Pudding for Desert with the wine parings. As a whole (with Wine paring) the meal was at least $10-15 per person overpriced but everything was well matched and incredibly delicious. We will definitely be returning at some point. Fantastic.
The food is extraordinary. Well prepared, great presentation with unique specials. They have a good thing going. The specials change daily so drop in and enjoy the surprise.
My boyfriend and I were celebrating a belated 1 year anniversary, pre graduation gift, & his birthday on our trip to Florida. It was wonderful to have time to go to the theme parks in orlando & then freshen up at the hotel before heading to a birthday dinner. The restaurant was more than accomodating as we last minute told them what we were celebrating, & that we stopped by late. The staff there was wonderful, they not only helped us choose our meals but did not make us feel rushed at all, though I think we kept them open later. The food had excellent timing coming out of the kitchen, portions were large & filling, & delicious. Pork seemed on the dry side, but, overall a great experience and will definitely stop by again when in Florida.
Overall an excellent experience and a rarity in the Orlando area. It's refreshing to find fine dining, good quality food and excellent service without the normal pretentiousness that almost seems to be a requirement when finding those 3 things in one restaurant. I definitely would and already have recommended this to family and friends. Also service was fantastic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Chef's Table at the Edgewater. The food and service were fantastic!
Best ambiance in Central Florida. Amazingly personal service, romantic, and fabulous food. The wine pairing are wonderful, too. A great deal.
Dining at the Chef's Table was a great experience - very intimate room where you get near-private service and the choice of a very interesting variety on the three-course menu. We had the mushroom torte which was amazing - and almost enough to be an entree on it's own. Follow by deliciously prepared rack of lamb and then two of the best desserts we've tasted. Fun experience - would definitely recommend. Friendly staff and great service.
We ate here 2 nights in a row due the quality of the food and the service. The 3 course price fixe meal with the wine pairings was outstanding and the great service was a pleasure and something lacking at most restaurants. Our table of 4 had all four options on Saturday night for each course and shared around the table. All were great and we each had rave reviews to share with each other. All food is locally sourced when possible and prepared fresh from what is available. I would definitely return when in the Orlando area and the small intimate atmosphere is great for dining and conversation over an unrushed meal. A definite do not miss opportunity if in the area.
This is an amazing resturant. Highly recommend. Delish!!! Wonderful service, quiet romantic atmosphere. Was perfect for our special romantic dinner. Can't wait to Go back again.
We actually enjoyed reading the menu and deciding on what we would have. My wife chose the Rack of Lamb and I chose the fresh Black Grouper. Both dishes were presented wonderfully. Both were equally delicious. My wife had the mushroom and cheese appetizer while I had the Frau Gras. Mushroom and cheese while excellent , was a bit large for an appetizer. Mine was excellent. My wife said she preferred my marinade on the lamb. I use fresh herbs and spices in olive oil. My grouper was excellent. Just right. The desserts were good, not great. Overall we enjoyed the nice quaint, quiet surroundings. Our waitress was excellent and could answer all of our questions extremely well. Expensive but worth it.
Decided to try this place and I was not disappointed. The food came quickly, was hot and delicious! The restaurant is small but quaint. I was not sure what to expect when we sat down to dinner. Everything on the menu sounded so good as the waiter explained the menu and how it was going to be cooked (in some detail i might add. - Got a few cooking ideas that night for sure) there were 4 items to choose from for each course. By the end of the meal i was full and satisfied. A great place to eat if you are looking for something a little diffent. FYI, the filet mignon is to die for! I have had $100 filets that were no where near as good this was. By far the best steak i have ever had period! Prices were reasonable and worth every penny.
Servers are incredibly passionate about food and are even involved in the cooking process. Food is fantastic and the service is impeccable.
The food was fabulous. I liked the quaint atmosphere. It is an experience worth having for a special occasion. I will definitely be recommending to others. An added touch would be a complimentary wine or something when celebrating that special occasion. We were celebrating an anniversary and thought a little more than a lit candle could make so much more of an impact.
Fabulous, wonderfully romantic. Food was beautiful Delicious and just too good! Would recommend for Those who "love", fine dining.
This was our second visit to the Chef's Table. The food was excellent, the wine pairings perfect, and the service was top notch. It is not cheap, but well worth the price for the quality of the meal and attention to detail by the staff. Not an every weekend kind of thing for me, but for special occasions this is the place to go!
The intimate environment, welcoming staff and spectacular food make this the best restaurant in Central Florida. Start with a drink at the bar in the tasting room, or on the charming outside veranda. When your reservation time arrives, you'll be escorted into the tiny dining area near the kitchen for an amazing three course experience. The price of the meal and the optional matching wines is too good to believe. It makes it a great choice for every day dining or that special occasion.
Outstanding food and service for Orlando or anywhere for that matter.
Possibly the best restaurant service we've ever had! Unbelievable! Chef's creations were absolutely exquisite! Cute historic downtown winter garden. A must-see-experience!
Every visit to the Chef's Table seems to provide a once in a lifetime dining experience. The service is attentive without being overbearing. I never feel like the staff is hovering yet we never want for anything. The food is always a world class medley of flavor and texture. The wine pairings add the pefect complement and the bar offers the best medley of specialty drinks in town. Chef's Table remains my favorite restaurant anywhere. If you are local, you'll look for occasions to dine here. If you are a visitor, it will make your trip complete
This was our first experience at the Chef's Table. We sat in the front room which was intimate with 5 tables, candles and dim lighting. I very much enjoyed the mushroom & crepe appetizer as well as the grouper entree. My husband enjoyed his tomato & goat cheese salad and filet. The berry cake for dessert was light, wonderful, excellent. I also tasted the bread pudding, which was good but after 2 courses and a bottle of wine, the lighter dessert was better. The service was great and the chef stopped by to ensure we enjoyed our meal. We've heard many wonderful accolades about the dining experience there and it didn't disappoint.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I love the scent, but the C monogram style isn't my favorite...oh well. Also, it's a lot smaller than I pictured, but I quickly got over that once I smelled it. ;)
I bought this for an extra something to put in a box of goodies for a friend who is a new mommy. Great smell, cute lettering & I love that they are soy/beeswax!
This product smells great and looks attractive. I just wish I had more for the price, because it smells fantastic.
Gave this as a gift to my friend and she lit it right away! It was a great add-on gift
Unfortunately I ordered this candle in the summer, so it melted on it's heated trip to Texas. Therefore I can say absolutely nothing about the burn time, but i can vouch for the smell. It's an amazing scent. Will definitely order this when the fear of melting on its journey has passed.
Loved this candle so much. The monogram was really fun and I really liked the color on mine. I really liked the thickness of the glass and the shape, just wish the whole thing was bigger! The scent was wonderful, not too sweet or overpowering.
You cant go wrong with candles! and the smell is wonderful too! Great as a treat for yourself, or a gift - cant beat the price!
I have to confess I haven't lit this candle yet. I'm saving it for a special occasion. I'm a little disappointed that the candle doesn't smell more strongly of cedar. Cedar can be such an amazing scent, and from this brand I actually expected more "punch" from the fragrance. However, it's possible the scent is more strong when it is burning...
I love the scent and size of the candle! I wish they made them in a bigger size! I got an S for my boyfriend Sean, who happens to like candles more than me, I'm a Scentsy gal myself :) Soy candles always smell the best!
So, I ordered this candle expecting it to be a bit..bigger. That's the main reason for it's low review. However, it has a beautiful floral scent that isn't too "grandma" and burned for a decent amount of time, though rather uneven. Honestly, I'd not have purchased this candle had I known it'd be so tiny, but I am pretty pleased by the simple but stylish new "L" shotglass I'll have once this baby burns completely.

Seattle University had a baseball team newly upgraded to the Division I level when it played a doubleheader against the University of Washington in the city's Triple-A ballpark, Sicks' Stadium. On May 17, 1952, a crowd of 4,957 -- the largest to attend a local college baseball game to that point -- watched the Chieftains sweep the games, 2-1 and 9-1.
In the opener, freshman righthander John Kelley from Yakima was virtually unhittable in more ways than one: He threw a no-hitter into the sixth yet walked 12 batters and repeatedly needed creative ways to get out of trouble.
With Seattle U returning to full Division I championship eligibility for the first time in 33 years -- when the Redhawks host Washington in a women's soccer match at Championship Field on Aug. 17 -- this is the 15th in a series of 33 stories replaying memorable SU events previously held at the NCAA's top level (1952-80).
Normally a pitcher with pinpoint stuff, Kelly walked two batters in the first inning and loaded the bases in both the second and third with walks, and somehow escaped unharmed each time. He gave up only a run in the sixth inning -- on a wild pitch.
"It was a terrible stat," Kelly said of his dozen walks. "It was one of those games where I had a very live fastball, and it wasn't as bad as it seems. I wasn't tremendously wild. It wasn't like I was throwing it to the screen and all over. I was just missing. It never happened before or since."
The Chieftains, on the way to a 23-6 season and an NCAA Tournament berth, scored on Johnny O'Brien's RBI double off the centerfield wall in the first inning. They won the game in a highly creative manner: Bob Carlson, now deceased, reached base on a single, was bunted to second by O'Brien, moved to third on a wild pitch and stole home.
Kelly finished 9-0 on the mound that season, 26-3 for his Seattle U career with a 2.19 ERA and 17 school records. He would suffer an elbow injury near the end of the 1952 season, forcing him to miss the school's only NCAA baseball appearance.
"I hurt my arm in a game against Central Washington," he said. "My cleat caught on a curveball and I took a short stride with my left foot, and I jammed my elbow. I heard something snap."
Kelly recovered sufficiently to receive contract offers from all 16 big-league organizations before signing with the Cleveland Indians. He had turned down a $55,000-$60,000 offer to sign with the New York Giants coming directly from Marquette High School. After a completing a military obligation, he played one season of minor-league baseball in Yakima before turning to a business career.
On a cloudy spring day at Sicks' Stadium, Kelly had enough stuff to get the job done before turning the ball over to Ernie Pastornicky, who had better control that day and easily won the second game. Beating the Huskies twice in one day, no matter how it was done, was a big deal.
"With Washington being from the old Pacific Coast Conference, I'd say that was the highlight of our season," Kelly said.

Ethnic Studies banned while religious studies are promoted in Tucson
Sunday, January 22nd, 2012Republicans never cease to amaze me. There's currently a Republican Arizona lawmaker out of Tucson promoting a religious studies bill in this years legislative agenda. Terri Proud (R) district 26 wants a law that specifically teaches religion in the classrooms. The Associated Press reports:
Republican Rep. Terri Proud of Tucson sponsored the measure, which asks the state Board of Education to design a course called "The Bible and its Influence on Western Culture." The course would be an elective at high schools that choose to offer it.
Public schools across the country have generally avoided Bible courses, but hundreds offer such classes as electives.
The bill stipulates that the course maintain "religious neutrality," and requires the state Attorney General to review the curriculum to ensure it doesn't conflict with the U.S. Constitution.
Proud, who is on the House Education Committee, said she wants students to learn about the Bible's influence on art and literature, noting that there are biblical references in everything from Michelangelo's paintings and Shakespeare's plays to modern movies and television.
"This is such an essential foundation for our kids' knowledge," she said. "We are so engulfed in it."
If students aren't taught those references, Proud said, they face a learning gap from high school to college.
Proud said teachers in her district told her they have a fear of mentioning Christianity or the Bible in the classroom, and she hopes the law will give them some guidance.
"There's nothing wrong with bringing religion into a classroom," she said. "The issue is we can't bring devotion."
So in a 2012 Arizona where Ethnic Studies has just been banned by Republicans promoting an anti-Immigrant agenda, another one of those Republicans is promoting pro religion studies. According to Proud, "the Attorney General for the state of Arizona would have to review the curriculum to ensure it doesn't conflict with the U.S. Constitution."
Keep in mind that the current Attorney General for the state of Arizona is Tom Horne, who worked closely with Steve Montenegro (R) district 12 to promote HB2281 while Horne was the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
How will Horne react to this bill that specifically promotes religion in the classrooms, in high schools, and in Tucson nonetheless? Proud is quick to state "There's nothing wrong with bringing religion into a classroom," she said. "The issue is we can't bring devotion."
Victoria Lopez, a program director with the Arizona office of the American Civil Liberties Union, said a Bible-focused class is "troubling."
Lopez said it's difficult for a school to teach such a course without imposing a particular religious view.
"It's very easy for teachers to cross the line and violate students' religious rights," she said. "There's a lot of room here for those violations to take place."
Though the course would be an elective, Lopez said it's a problem that public resources and agencies would be involved in some form of religious study.
We'll see what kind of legal challenge this bill will bring if it does in fact translate into law and specifically how Attorney General Tom Horne the primary anti ethnic studies advocate will handle this specific studies issue.
For the record, I am a Christian who supports ethnic studies.

TIM REYNOLDS, AP Sports Writer
Tony Benshoof's back problem is back, already causing concern for the Olympic season.
The USA Luge veteran, who was fourth in the 2006 Turin Olympics, will receive an epidural cortisone injection Monday in Calgary, Alberta, to treat a recurrence of a herniated disk in his back — the same problem he had surgery on 11 months ago.
Tests performed this weekend confirmed what Benshoof himself suspected, that the same disk that caused him pain before is pushing against a nerve root again. The problem began flaring up considerably on Wednesday.
"Basically, it's a small version of the problem I had a year ago," Benshoof said.
He was sixth in the World Cup opener at Calgary on Saturday, even with the back pain, and said he's "hopeful" of racing when the international series continues in Igls, Austria, this coming weekend.
Benshoof finished the two-run competition in Calgary 0.423 seconds behind Armin Zoeggler of Italy, and about one-third of a second away from a bronze medal.
"Hopefully, that in combination with the anti-inflammatory medication I'm taking will get me through the next few races," Benshoof said late Saturday. "It's kind of a step-by-step process. I have to be really smart about it and really ease back on movements that cause pain."
The problem is, that includes sliding.
Benshoof said before the Calgary opening race that the back pain could have come from any number of factors, including intense weight training, air travel and bumpy training runs on the 2010 Olympic track in Whistler, British Columbia.
What really exacerbated the issue, though, might have been something that seems so simple — picking his sled up while exiting the track.
"It was the last training run before the Nation's Cup," Benshoof said, referring to a competition held Thursday. "I just reached over like I've done a million times to pick up my sled and I just felt a really sharp, really excruciating pain right in my lower back region. It was very acute, very localized. I didn't feel anything down my leg, but it was debilitating. It brought me right to my knees."
He said he knew right away what the MRI exam would reveal.
The 34-year-old Benshoof has battled back issues for years. This season is his 21st in the USA Luge program, and if he makes the team — as still expected — for the Vancouver Games, it would be Benshoof's third time racing in the Olympics.

qvplay and the Casio QV-10 Camera
In the continuing battle with the Evil Empire, I have recently reduced my dependence on "Them" by one program—I discovered a way to use my Casio QV-10 digital camera with Linux.
This article is a simple HOWTO on the method I used—hopefully to encourage more people and Casio to use Linux.
One of these days, every peripheral will ship with Linux drivers and support software—until then, let's "share and enjoy!" (Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).
Describing the camera in full is probably best left to Casio but suffice it to say that it:
has fixed focal length lens (no zoom)
has fixed resolution of 320x240 pixels in 24-bit colour
stores up to 96 shots in Flash memory (immune from low battery power)
takes 4 AA alkaline cells or an optional, external power source, but not NiCad
has a serial link to a PC
has a separate printer available, driven directly by the camera
can also output to TV/video
has CAM default file format, proprietary to Casio
sells for about $400 in Singapore (about $263US), although I paid a lot more than that last Christmas—prices have dropped.
The resolution of the pictures is adequate for simple web pages but nowhere near as fine grained as some of the models recently on the market. By comparison, a Kodak PhotoCD image digitised from a 35mm slide or film would be about 3000x2500 pixels—more than 100 times the number of pixels. On the other hand, while the resolution is so-so, the 320x240 jpeg files that are produced are reasonably fast to download with current modems.
It is quite possible that Casio's proprietary CAM format is superior to others for certain purposes (I am no graphics expert), but it is no good for web pages, which need JPEG or GIF files. The Windows software that Casio provides makes converting more than one or two files to JPEG format very difficult. No filter is provided for batch conversion of files to other formats. The process for each conversion is:
Open CAM image on PC (10 seconds on my 486)
Pull down File|Export menu or press ctrl-E
Pull down Format|JPG
Type in new file name (.jpg extension is provided automatically)
Select OK
On one file this is manageable, but on 96—forget it.
qvplay was written by ken-ichi HAYASHI and Jun-ichiro "itojun" ITOH to control the QV-10 and is really great. Itojun also wrote a filter called cam2jpeg to convert CAM files to JPEG. (I haven't tested this program yet.) With qvplay running on Linux you can:
Download individual or groups of pictures to or from the camera in JPEG, BMP, PPM, RGB or CAM formats.
Instruct the camera to take a picture.
Delete pictures from the camera's memory.
Instruct the camera to display a certain picture (or 4 or 9 thumbnail pictures).
Protect or UN-protect specific pictures from deletion.
It seemed to me that the quality of the pictures from qvplay was better than from the QV-LINK software provided with the camera—apparently, some older versions of QV-LINK do some automatic re-touching of the pictures which seems to make things worse. Also included in the package were two utilities:
qvrec: send CAM files to the QV-10 camera.
qvalldel: clear the camera's memory.
I used version 0.92 of qvplay. Just use your favorite search engine to find qvplay-0_92_tar.gz and download from the site nearest you.
Configuration couldn't be easier. Expand the distribution file and follow the instructions. A setup script is provided that worked just fine "out of the box". I use Red Hat Linux 4.1 with a 2.0.18 kernel. One thing you might want to tinker with is the default serial port for qvplay to use. I changed the supplied default of /dev/cua1 to /dev/cua0. Once it's working, use strip on the executables to remove extraneous lines such as debug commands and run the command make install.
I have written man pages for the qvplay, qvrec and qvalldel software (not in the original distribution). These pages are available at http://home.pacific.net.sg/~bhepple/qvplay/qvplay.html.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

You survived the Mayan apocalypse, or at least transitioned to the next baktun, number 14 according to the Mayan calendar. But what real lessons does this ancient culture hold?
First and foremost, the Maya are a case study in adaptation. Their complex civilization of powerful city-states collapsed, and the jungle retook those urban centers. But the Mayan people endured, today being the principle ethnic population of parts of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.
European invaders did not end the era of the Mayan city-state. Although it was descendants of those Europeans who came up with this apocalypse mumbo-jumbo.
Research shows that what laid low Mayan society was something more insidious: climate change. A subtle shift in weather patterns brought less rain and the Mayan civilization was simply unable to cope with a prolonged dry period punctuated by several severe droughts.
Given that our highly complex civilization is also facing climate change, it might make sense to look back to the Maya for a glimpse of our future. Today much of the former Mayan city-states are nature preserves, dotted by ruins. Will we do better when faced with crippling and long-lasting drought in this, the 14th baktun?
—David Biello

Hi I have an existing Sarge installation and would like to turn it into a pluto core. I have finished the wizzard and downloaded the DebianInstallers.tar.gz unpacked it and so forth. now I am having problems to otain the Custom wrapper script. When ever I click on the link it will give me a script wich contains the following :
ERROR. Invalid activation code. If you don't have an activation code, get yours by signing up at
. Thank you

I have a similar situation. The most of the times I click to dowload custom wizard I get a file with the mentioned error.
After several trials I was able to walk to the next page that contains a link to DebianInstallers.tar.gz and then shows what is supposed to be the script itself.
Unfortunately it is shown in a format like this:
OK OK #!/bin/bash error=0 # /usr/pluto/bin/ConfirmDependencies -r -D pluto_main -h localhost -u plutovip -d 50696 install #Device: CORE (#7 Generic PC as Core) doesn't require any software. #Device: DCERouter (#1 DCERouter) requires software #.Pluto DCE Router #..MySQL 4 client libraries #..MySQL 4 common #..Pluto Standard Plugins #...Pluto System Database #....Pluto sqlCVS #.....MySQL 4 server #.....Pluto DCE library #......Pluto SerializeClass library #.......Pluto PlutoUtils library #.....Pluto Request Action (RA) Library #.....Pluto Database Settings #....Pluto Boot Scripts #.....screen #.....NetCat #.....Pluto MessageSend #.....MySQL 4 client #.....NFS Kernel Server #.....syslinux #.....bzip2 #.....NTP date #.....Discover 1 #.....Hotplug #.....FTP upload #.....iproute #.....whois (mkpasswd) # ................. deletia ................ read #EOF
I tried to cut-and-paste it into a file, but it won't run.
I tried also to settle the scrip by adding some CR, but I think that by the time I'll finish this I will be ready to install Pluto 4 ....
Is it a bug of the wizard, or are we doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance and regards

Well .. just to be precise ....
On the page 8 of the wizard if I click on
"Auto install script"
link I get a file with error in side, if I click
"Custom Wrapper for CORE"
link I get a new page with the messed up script.

our original vision was allowing Pluto to run on virtually all Linux distributions, and even on Windows. The installation wizard was built around that concept. however very early on we realized this was completely impossible because each distribution has different versions of the core programs we use (Xine, Asterisk, etc.) and some are compatible with our wrappers and some are not, and even the stock Debian is not compatible. So we abandon this a long time ago, but the installation wizard has not been rewritten. We are working on a change that will eliminate the installation wizard completely, using only a stock CD that prompts for a few questionsthe works exclusively with our own mirror, since that is all that is working anyway. So that auto install script does not work and actually will be eliminated. Sorry.

Thanks Aaron for your reply, even if it is not exactly the answer I was waiting for.
I've just reinstalled my test box with stock debian, because this was the only way to get rid of many problems related to your distro (new drivers/software recompilation, Xine that performs badly on my box, ....).
I made these steps because on your docs it was stated that your distro is debian based, and in the wizard it was also offered the option to get an installation over existing debian box.
I have full respect for the great job you have made so far and I understand that there surely are good reasons for this change of vision.
Nevertheles I hope you will understand that it is a bit disappointing hearing at this stage that what I've made so far may be totally unuseful.
You are now saying that auto install script will never work.
According to your docs there is still one option left, i.e to get a list of needed packages and install them one by one manually.
Is this option possible (even if it may take forever ...) ?
Please I need a clear answer, as I need to make myself a clear picture of what may Pluto be for me and also for a possible business that I'm evaluating to start.
Again, don't get me wrong. I'm not in any way blaming you and your project, just want to know whether this project may be or not an option for me. :wink:
Thanks and regards.

in the 30 release we are upgrading our Debian mirror and upgrading the kernel to 220.127.116.11. I think your main reason for wanting to use a stock distro was to get the latest drivers, right? so this may go away within a couple weeks. We will try rebuilding Xine too at that time.
if you want to proceed installing Pluto on your Debian box, try this... take a clean, vanilla Debian box, add to your source.list:
20dev main
replacements main
unstable mythtv
20dev contrib
those repositories contain Pluto's packages, but not our Debian mirror. Then do:
apt-get install pluto-app-server pluto-asterisk pluto-bluetooth-dongle pluto-boot-scripts pluto-cddb-ident pluto-confirm-dependencies pluto-convert-mac pluto-createdevice pluto-database-settings pluto-dcecommon pluto-dcerouter pluto-devel-dependencies pluto-dhcpd-plugin pluto-disk-drive pluto-diskless-base pluto-eib pluto-gc100 pluto-generic-serial-device pluto-install-scripts pluto-irbase pluto-irtrans-wrapper pluto-ivtv-video-drivers pluto-kernel-upgrade pluto-libbd pluto-libserial pluto-lirc-wrapper pluto-local-database pluto-media-database pluto-messagesend pluto-messagetrans pluto-mythtv-backend-proxy pluto-mythtv-player pluto-mythtv-plugin pluto-orbiter pluto-orbitergen pluto-orbiterinstaller pluto-pluto-main-db pluto-pluto-media-db pluto-pluto-security-db pluto-plutoutils pluto-qos pluto-ra pluto-ratpoison pluto-remoteassistance pluto-sample-media pluto-security-database pluto-serializeclass pluto-skins-basic pluto-slim-server-streamer pluto-slimserver-plugin pluto-sqlcvs pluto-std-plugins pluto-system-database pluto-text-to-speech pluto-updateentarea pluto-updatemedia pluto-videolan-client pluto-videolan-plugin pluto-videolan-server pluto-vipshared pluto-website-admin pluto-website-support pluto-windowsce-libraries pluto-xine-player pluto-xine-plugin
that will install all the Pluto specific packages. I am not sure if there will be issues with dependencies. If so please post here again.
I have to point out that even though we did have the links to download those scripts, we did post a link on the main open-source page: "I'm already a Linux user. If I install your distro and use my PC as a "Core", can I still it as my normal computer too? What did you change, and how is Pluto different from a normal Linux distro? I don't want to dedicate a PC just to Pluto" which goes to:
and says: "While you could try to run Pluto on your own distribution, it's not really recommended."
our final product is a mainstream "taken out of the box plug it in turn it on and use it product". There are of course lots of similar products based on Linux, such as TiVo. but the only way to reach that state of stability is to have a completely controlled environment, where you know what all the software versions are installed a can test those exact versions. this is what we mean when we say Pluto targets the "appliance" market (ie set top box), rather than the "software" market (ie HomeSeer, Mr. House, etc.). so when you mention you might be interested in starting a new business, if that business involves selling a software solutionwhere the homeowner is a computer user who does normal computer maintenance to keep the system going, Pluto is probably not the best solution. However if you are looking to offer an appliance type solution where the homeowner has no need for a computer skills and does not need to know anything about Linux, I humbly suggest this is the only way. For example we found while upgrading our mirror some packages such as the Linux console simply cannot be upgraded in an unattended manner. I remember our package maintainer mentioning that package, which is of course core to Linux, did not respect the flag to auto upgrade without prompting the user, and halts, stopping the upgrade until the user answers some questions. this is of course because the package maintainer intends that a human who knows Linux is doing the upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade, rather than a completely automated process. So therefore if you use the standard Debian mirror, whoever is the homeowner must have Linux skills so he can manually do upgrades and maintenance. In our mirror, we rebuild such packages and put them in our replacements, making them so they assume defaults that are appropriate for the Pluto environment, and therefore the system can be self maintaining and used by homeowners with no Linux skills. but obviously it's very difficult to do both since an appliance solution and a software solution really are two different things that go into different directions, it would be a huge amount of work for us to try to maintain two versions of Pluto for those two separate markets.

Wow ... what a reply ...
Firstly I would like to make clear that I'm not discussing Pluto "philosophy".
I like the "appliance" approach, and I do not want to deviate from this nor I am asking someone to do it for me.
I'm not in any way saying "hey, you told me that this was possible, and now you have to do it". I'm sorry if I gave this impression, and if so please accept my apologies.
When I say I'm a bit disappointed I simply mean that I was hoping to have a clear picture of this situation at an earlier stage in order to make some further considerations.
I totally agree with you when you mention the need of totally controlled environment to get stability.
Infact my idea is NOT to have a totally custom mantained Pluto distro (it would simply be a nightmare), but just to have the standard Pluto distro with just some refinements that make it work better in some circumstances without any impact towards stability.
The main reasons that pushed me to reinstall a fresh stock debian box were:
need to use a different kernel
need to recompile some drivers
need to recompile Xine
need to recompile some additional software
With your actual distro this is impossible, so I had no other choices.
I've posted a couple of time questions like "what if upgrade kernel to 2.6.12 ? Will this break anything with Pluto?" but I didn't get any answer.
I know that you guys are running your business and I cannot expect you to support that much an option that may proof good (but also a total waste of time).
I thought that probably it was a "dumb question" not worth replying, so I decided to go for a fresh install.
Probably this lead me too far from the path ... probably it would have been enough simply to upgrade the kernel ... anyway I'm doing tests to get answers so I definitely need to make some trials .
I know that you said that running Pluto on custom distro isn't "really recommended".
Nevertheless sometime one has to try ... there have been plenty of things "not really recommended", that instead have fortunately been done .... :lol:
Anyway "not really recommended" does not mean "impossible" to me, but it sounds like a warning to normal audience that this is something not easy to do. Unless you say "it is totally impossible" or "don't do it, you would break something", I understand that this may be somehow done.
I'm happy to hear that with .30 release you will be migrating to kernel 2.6.12. If I may give a suggestion, it would be great if you could put kernel sources and headers in your repository. Also it would be great if you can use an epia patched kernel ....
Even if in this scenario a manual install makes no real sense, I think that in the mean time I will give your manual installation procedure a try.
Still I need some info: on my box I've actually installed a stock version of Xine (recompiled from original sources), that is working fine. Unless you made recent changes, if I reinstall your Xine release I will fall back in the same situation where I started from (Xine poorly performing with MPEG4, crashing with mp3).
What do you suggest me to do ? Can I skip pluto-xine packages, or should I install them and afterward replace xine engine with recompiled one?
Thanks for your patience and your suggestions

I suggest you go ahead and install pluto-xine package then overwrite the binary. at bootup our confirm_dependencies program goes through all devices and confirms the packages are installed and will install them if they're not. If you install the package, it will not reinstall it. there are other ways to bypass this mechanism but that's probably the simplest.
this week we are recompiling the kernel and rebuilding our mirror. So this is the right time to get any "wishes" included.since it is such a big task we don't do it very often and put it off until we have a compelling reason: in this case the VDR team wrote a Pluto/VDR module which requires a new kernel.
the guy who handles this is Radu. If you have Yahoo IM, he is "radu_c_public", or skype "pluto_support" or email to radu.c at plutohomecom. perhaps you could enable remote assistance so he can SSH in and you can show him what's happening with Xine, and so he can see if the new one he intends to use solves the problem, or if not rebuild it, so you don't need to deviate.
I believe this will have full support for EPIA since we also have a new hardware partner that builds boxes based on that platform and we are testing against their Via Nehemia system.

Thanks Aaron for your info.
I will follow your procedure and I will let you know. By the way, after installing all the required packages do I need to add/modify any startup script?
I'm really happy to hear that you also are testing Pluto against Nehemiah based boxes. This is exactly what I've been doing for the last 1 and a half months, and I'm glad to see that you guys also find it interesting.
Most probably I'm working in a sligthly different direction than yours. My goal is to get a "light" hybrid working on a EPIA box, while I think that you may be more focused to have a diskless MD.
So, if this is the right time for wishes, I think that mine is quite clear ... :wink:
Thanks also for the opportunity to get direct support from Radu.
As soon as I get again Pluto working I will make a test with your Xine version and just in case I will ask him to have a look.
Thanks again and regards

As per your request, I post here the dependencies problem I found.
Basically apt-get install fails on pluto-cddb-ident and pluto-disk-drive because they depend from libcddb0 that is not installable.
On my apt source list there are also some other official mirrors, so it sounds strange to have such a dependency error.
I'll try to figure out a solution, but given that you are already about to release an EPIA friendly version I won't put that much time on this manual installation.

But some of the dogs that actually received honors in the show may want me to give them their due publicity. So - here it goes.
Meet Georgia. This 5 month old, female, beautiful, brindle Dutch Shepherd walked away with the Best in Group title for the Variety Pack. Unfortunately I was not able to get a picture of her with her new family. But good job Georgia!
One of the many auctions of the day included the 'Pick of the Litter' title. The winner of this auction was able to choose any dog that has appeared in the show that day and take him home. Well, the bidding went on, and on and on. . . And I think it only stopped when everyone in the audience realized how desperately this young family wanted to win and how much their dad wanted to win it for them. The bidding stopped at $3,000.And the winner was . . .
None of the dogs that even placed in the group competitions. But instead, an adorable, little, 3 month old, terrier mix appropriately named Benji. So here's Benji with his new family.

Grizzlies soccer team plays tough, rain or shine
The Lassen High School boy's soccer team is ready to give its opponents tough competition this year. The team is made up of Andy Wotjen, back left, Jon Langston, Cyrus White, Michael Pelfrey, Josh Schmidt, Jason Lilly, Jake Morgan, Jayce Gray, Carson Friedline, Garrison Collier, Jesus Garibo, Robert Pelfrey, Carlos Hernandez, Bo Morgan, Eric Helpingstine, Spencer Frederickson, front left, Wyatt Bollinger, Clayton Williams, Kaden Goforth, Jonathan Hernandez, Anthony Connell, Rafael Hechurie and Dalton Reed. Not pictured is Max McBride. Photo by Maddie Musante
Dec. 3 — They are some of the toughest athletes in Lassen County and they are preparing for a triumphant year.
The Lassen High School boy's soccer team is just beginning its season and, according to coach Andrew Fisher, this year is going to be an improvement from last.
The team ended its season with a 3-12 record last year, and Fisher expects this year to be much better.
"Last year we had a lot of young players. The year before we had returned so many seniors and then they graduated. Last year was a transitional year, we'll call it. This year all those young players are back; they've got a lot of experience, so I think we're going to be significantly better than we were last year … I think we should probably make the playoffs and I think it will be a dramatic improvement over our 3-12 record last year. We should be significantly improved, I think," Fisher said during a team practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Sanctions upheld, Lassen College soccer cannot compete in playoffs
Dec. 2 — After a lengthy appeals process and a hugely successful soccer season, it turns out the Lassen Community College men's and women's soccer teams will not be allowed to compete in the playoffs.
Lassen College has been appealing sanctions placed on the soccer program for competing in nontraditional contests outside of the dates set forth by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) constitution.
Soccer season takes place in the fall, but according to the CCCAA constitution, teams are allowed to participate in a limited number of nontraditional contests/scrimmages during a short window of time outside of the regular season. According to bylaw 3.17.1 of the CCCAA constitution, men's and women's soccer teams may participate in three scrimmages between Feb. 1 and April 30.
However, according to a press release from the Lassen Community College athletic department, the soccer teams played in an out-of-season game in May, thereby breaking the rules set forth by the constitution.
Lady Grizzlies are ready to take on the soccer season

Nov. 29 — A new team and new season means it's a whole new ball game for the Lassen High School girl's soccer team.
The ladies have been practicing together for little more than two weeks, but coach Jim Ayers already sees that the Lady Grizzlies are going to bring fierce competition to their opponents on the soccer field.
"We have more players. We have a squad of 11 and 11, so we can scrimmage full teams versus full teams. We have a lot of freshmen coming up that are now sophomores that are excellent. We've got a good group of incoming freshmen too and, of course, the seniors and juniors are typically more experienced … we have a well-rounded team," Ayers said during a team practice Thursday, Nov. 21.
The girls didn't have a lot of time to practice before their first match, but the wealth of skill and experience the players brought to the team made Ayers confident in their abilities.
Soccer players receive high honors
Lassen Community College men's soccer players were awarded with MVP and All-Conference awards from the Golden Valley Conference last week. Dani Gonzalez, left, and Krish Patel were awarded First Team All-Conference. Josh Jirbandey, middle, was awarded MVP Defender of the Year. Greg Baron and Stephen Green were also First Team All-Conference selections. Not pictured is Sergio Carro, who was also a First Team All-Conference award winner. Photos by Maddie Musante |
Saphri Lines, left, was elected MVP Offensive Player of the Year by the Golden Valley Conference. Lines is also the top scorer in the state. Julia "Brazil" Matos was awarded MVP Defender of the Year. Janet Garcia, Tamara Newsome and Mikaela Buckley made First Team All-Conference. Not pictured are Second Team All-Conference selections Corinne Gale and Cassandra Turner. |
