Teachers, librarians, readers, educators, parents, authors and illustrators, and book lovers in general not only like to read books but they like to talk about books and share opinions and reactions. The world of blogging has allowed these like-minded lovers of books to do that and in an immediate fashion. As blogging has become more and more popular and accepted as a method for sharing book and publishing information, educators are now following recommended or favorite blogs. Each day seems to bring an awareness of another new blog. The KidLitosphere (www.kidlitosphere.org/bloggers) website offers a gateway website where the community of children's/YA bloggers can come together and share the excitement of wonderful books—sometimes new books, some gathered thematically, some for special needs or areas. Bloggers have even created and organized their own awards for books, the Cybils (www.cybils.com) for one and also The Independent Book Blogger Award (www.goodreads.com/book_blogger_award/entry/573).
This week the International Reading Association's Children's Literature and Reading Special Interest Group presents just a few of the many wonderful blogs available to readers today.
Jen Robinson's Book Page
This popular blog is for librarians, teachers, and parents. Jen promotes a love of reading and literacy by posting every couple of days a lengthy book review and literacy news. She shares programs and studies in the field of literacy, children's literature, and young adult literature. In the sidebars she includes the book title she is currently reading and the audio book she is listening to. In addition, old posts are available such as raising a reader, getting kids to read, and family reading partnerships. All of her book reviews are archived and available from 2006 to present. Furthermore, Jen sends out a weekly newsletter via e-mail. This blog is a must read for everyone.

The Picture Book Junkies
by Deb Melmon, Roz Fulcher, Gina Perry Kathy Weller, and Alicia Padron
A group of five professional illustrators, all addicted to picture books, write this PBJ blog. They share picture books they are reading for inspiration, interviews with other illustrators, and just released book titles and reviews. In addition, they share photographs of their studios, open up their portfolios, and share some of the illustrations they are creating and the different tools they are using such as Adobe Illustrator. Each blog post is brief and to the point. Each Friday is illustration Friday where one completed picture is revealed and explained. In one post, Alicia Padron discussed two new releases—Teatime Baby and Bathtime Baby—and what she learned as she was working on the illustrations.

A Year of Reading
by Mary Lee Hahn and Franki Sibberson
These two teachers review children's books, share stories from their teaching, and review professional books. Every Friday they participate in Poetry Friday and share a poem. One recent story by Franki titled "Teachers as readers (and runners)" compares learning to read to learning to run. She emphasizes that she had many friends who were cheerleaders, encouraging her to keep running, yet hiring a coach, a teacher, was critical. She reminds us that children deserve a teacher who is a reader just like she needed a coach who was a runner. She noted that many friends gave her tips on running. This is the same with children who learn so much from other readers about reading. Ultimately students need teachers who they can trust to teach them about reading because they are readers.
Blue Rose Girls; Children's Book Professionals Talk about Books (and Other Things)
by Anna Alter, Libby Koponen, Grace Lin, Alvina Ling, Elaine Magliaro, Meghan McCarthy, and Linda S. Wingerter
One of the unique elements of this children's literature blog is the fact that it is written by several individuals. The blog describes the contributors as authors, illustrators, an editor, and a former librarian. A photograph at the top of the blog shows the writers, and the blog itself is enhanced because it derives from so many different perspectives which give it richness. The blogs written by these women typically have little to do with previous blog entries, but instead represent the writers' ruminations about children's books or whatever crosses their minds. Thus, for instance, Anna may share sketches for a new book on which she is working, Elaine may share original poems, Libby may ponder the promises and perils of writers' conferences, Alvina may describe some of her book-related travels, and Grace may describe some of her school visits. As might be expected, the writing is lively and conversational, and readers of the blog often come away feeling as though they've eavesdropped on an interesting private conversation. There are always interesting clips to view or pictures from school visits to view. The blog was established in 2006 with 208 entries, 289 in 2011, and 75 so far this year. Information about the Red Rose Girls, three groundbreaking women's illustrators whose paths inspired the bloggers and gave rise to the blog's name, is provided on the blog.

educating alice
by Monica Edinger
Since September 2006, Dalton School teacher Monica Edinger has maintained a lively blog whose name was inspired by the fourth grade teacher's love for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. In her blog, she includes YouTube clips, interviews with authors and illustrators, children's and young adult book reviews, ideas for incorporating children's literature in the classroom, information on award-winning children's books, and ruminations on happenings in the New York City scene. Her blog is easy to read with snappy language and a distinct voice. For teachers looking for books to share with their students but especially ways to use those books in creative ways, this is a great blog to read.
100 Scope Notes: Children's Literature News and Reviews
by Travis Jonker
As the title indicates, this blog by Michigan elementary school librarian Travis Jonker, includes reviews as well as up to date information in the field of children's literature. Divided into Best New Books; Articles; Covers; News; and Reviews, this blog covers a great deal of information. A favorite spot is the Poem Spine Gallery of photographs of book spines that build to create a poem. Author interviews, videos, news articles, cover talk and of course, new book reviews are available on this informational blog.

Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast (nick-named 7-Imp)
by Julie "Jules" Danielson
Founded in 2006, one of the early blogs on the scene, blogger Julie "Jules" Danielson of Smyrna, Tennesee, first wrote about children's books of all sorts with her friend Eisha. Now blogging solo, her emphasis has shifted somewhat to focus on illustration including picture books and illustrated novels. Julie is a sign language interpreter, a children's librarian, a columnist for Kirkus Reviews, and a mom. The title of the blog comes from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Julie especially likes to do author and illustrator interviews and this is strength of this blog. Archived blogs are easily accessed back to August 2006. Lists of other good blogs and children's book websites are included in sidebars.
Cynsations; a source for conversations, publishing information, writer resources & inspiration, bookseller-librarian-teacher appreciation, children's-YA book news & author outreach
by Cynthia Leitech Smith
The subtitle of this blog says it all! Cynthia Leitech Smith of Austin, Texas, created this blog in 2004 and it has become one of the most visited blogs on the internet for children's and YA literature. Cynthia, an author in her own right, offers a wide variety of information including book giveaways, articles, quick tidbits and "shorts," book trailers, new releases, reviews, publishing industry news, conference announcements and notes, author events and up-to-the minute book happenings across the country. Cynthia says of Cynsations: "The blog has on ongoing commitment to new voices, books/creators from underrepresented cultures, creative risk takes, quality mid-listers, rising and well-established stars." Viewers are invited to comment about posts.
The Goddess of YA Literature: Pearls from the Goddess
by Teri Lesesne
One blog that I never miss reading is this one by bibliophile Teri Lesesne who is a professor of children's and young adult literature at Sam Houston State University. In addition to book covers accompanying brief reviews of current children's literature, including picture books, and YA titles, Teri comments on controversial issues such as censorship, testing, and the common core standards. She often shares pictures of her cat, Scout, and ruminations on whatever strikes her fancy, provided that it relates to books in some way. She also posts hilarious YouTube clips that express the love of reading while generously sharing her presentations—the complete book lists and the entire presentations—with blog readers. Anyone who plans to teach reading in elementary, middle, or high school needs to check out her blog as a starting place for making a list of essential books to read. The blog itself is well organized with alphabetical tags along the right hand side of the page that allow readers to click on a tag or topic and identify all the books Lesesne has read that fit the topic. Including the tags below a handy calendar makes navigating this blog quite smooth. Lesesne was one of the early bloggers, beginning this one in October 2004 with six entries for that month. Over the next few years, she has blogged just about every day, an impressive feat given the number of conferences she attends, presentations she makes, and books she reads. This one is not to be missed.
American Indians in Children's Literature
by Debbie Reese
Teachers and critical readers of literature for children and teens have come to rely on this blog written by Debbie Reese, a Nambe Pueblo Indian woman, since 2006. The blog's purpose is to provide a place where children's and young adult literature featuring indigenous peoples may be examined critically. The blog also explores issues concerning school curriculum, popular culture, and society. Thus, Reese and the contributors to her blog have taken careful looks at many books often used in today's classrooms, such as Arrow to the Sun, the Little House on the Prairie series, Touching Spirit Bear, and the Twilight saga, among others. By examining these materials through indigenous eyes, readers often come to regard them differently or at least have their own perspectives on the books expanded. In addition, the blog explores relevant issues such as the removal of Mexican-American Studies classes in the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona or the inclusion of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods as an exemplary read aloud according to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. The blog site is easy to navigate and even includes links to relevant full text articles as well as archived discussions. Reese posts frequently, writing 111 entries during the blog's first year in 2006, and posting 77 times so far this year. Although Reese does not pretend to be the voice for all First Nation peoples, this is clearly the go-to blog for anyone interested in starting to explore literature that depicts indigenous peoples. The writing is thoughtful and engaging and always adds to my own knowledge of literature.
Book Dragon; Produced by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program
by Terry Hong
The blogger is Terry Hong, the former Media Arts Consultant for the APAP and project director for the Smithsonian Korean American Centennial Commemoration. Though the emphasis is on books by and about Asian and Asian Pacific Americans, books from every ethnicity and culture are included. The blog started in 2009, but many posts were loaded from previous articles. An extensive list of categories is found on the right sidebar to search and explore this blog. Links to international and multicultural activities and organizations are also found in sidebar information. Reviews give a well developed sense of the book and offer links to authors and other topics.
Children Kissed by the Sun; a blog dedicated to African American Children's Literature
by Candid Taylor-Brandon
This is a relatively new blog on the scene begun in 2011 by Candid Taylor-Brandon from Flint, Michigan. With a deep interest in her own African American culture she has brought author interviews, book reviews and multicultural articles to readers. Blog archive information is found at the bottom of each blog page rather than in sidebars on the right. Lengthy booklists and suggestions for companion books are given with each new book reviewed.

Tips for writing, numerous book award announcements, links to other blogs and bloggers, and an easily searched archive are part of Mitali's Fire Escape.

Poetry for Children
by Sylvia Vardell
Sylvia Vardell, a professor at Texas Woman's College and former chair of the NCTE Excellence in Poetry for Children Award Committee, maintains a blog that is sure to dispel many of the fears beginning teachers have about using poetry in the classroom. Vardell, who has written this blog since 2006 when she posted 42 entries, includes coming attractions in children's poetry and lists of recently published poetry books as well as short videos of the poets reading their own poetry at various conferences. She also includes snippets from her travels to international conferences, interviews with poets, and book trailers created by her students. In addition to archives of previous blog entries, readers will be able to click on her list of poet links, ranging from Arnold Adoff to Tracie Vaughn Zimmer (91 in total), given them even more poetic resources by allowing them to follow the link to each poet's website. Her passion for poetry knows no bounds, and is clear to anyone who spends more than five minutes on this blog that this woman eats, drinks, and sleeps poetry. So far in 2012 she's blogged 50 different times.
I.N.K.; Interesting nonfiction for kids
This nonfiction group blog is a little different. The blogger group represents a host of nonfiction authors for children. The companion website is Ink Think Tank (http://www.inkthinktank.com). With the emphasis on nonfiction in the Common Core State Standards we wanted to conclude with information to access current nonfiction. The archives go back to the first blog post of January 2008 and literally hundreds of pages and posts bring this blog through to today. An extensive index of topics can be found on the right sidebar in addition to numerous monthly articles where the authors talk about their writing craft, storytelling and narrative, research techniques, finding ideas and some unusual "tidbits" that the authors share. They also discuss how illustrations are part of the "artist's vision of the world" and how these pictures integrate into the text. RSS feeds are available as well as daily email posts sent directly to viewers.

-- certainly affects all of us gas prices are just.
Going up big time a record month for February we're seeing the highest prices ever.
For the month of February with the national average for a gallon of regular now at three dollars and 77 cents is more than forty cents higher.
And -- a month ago you're not imagining things the -- -- the cup especially bad in Southern California where the average for a gallon of regular gas.
Rent a whopping four dollars and 31 cents.
I gallon that's up nearly sixty cents from a month ago.
And that's the second highest single month job ever recorded there.
Phil Flynn as a senior market analyst at the price -- group but -- Fox Business news contributor bottom line though all those numbers tell us.
Gas prices are high why are they high.
Well there so many reasons you know especially you mentioned California California courts have that huge refinery fire.
Earlier this year it forced a lot of those other refiners to pick up the slack.
And not the one domain and it's early now they can't stay out of maintenance forever so they went -- to maintenance.
-- and -- tightness of supply.
And I'll tell you -- around the country we've had -- -- re finding issues that a -- the price of gasoline to go up whether it be the East Coast because of the hurricane.
You know build the midwest because of the big.
Crude unit going down or even on the West Coast refining issues -- number one number two what's the price of crude.
You know China consumed more -- than they ever did in the month of January that helped drive up the cost of crude oil.
And -- crude oil prices go way up gasoline price has always follow.
It's this is the prices that we're seeing in February what is what is this summer driving season and look like.
You know this was a disaster but I don't think it's going to be as bad as people fear a lot of the issues -- -- prices -- May actually help us when the summer driving season comes along.
A lot of the maintenance -- we normally do in April in in May there or is actually getting down a little bit early.
And right now that we players have the very delicate balance as to how much winter blend of gasoline they should.
Produce vs some of what they really have to drive down that -- supply and keep prices up that you were very vulnerable just price spikes.
But the good news is because we started this early.
When the summer driving season does come along that we should be very well -- and that should keep the cap on their traditional run up you normally see in April when matches.
Real quick -- felt we've had the payroll tax cut expire so most folks are getting -- and their paychecks we're seeing gas prices go up.
And then we had this sequestration and lurking if you bought into this to -- just overall your thoughts on the economy where the American consumer is that what I mean what if this is this all bad news for the year has.
I think after well I'll say what if prices don't -- 58% of all Americans basically came out and -- when it comes to gasoline prices.
That's the main thing that's -- make them feel good or bad about the economy.
With prices being up that is bad right now.
I think when it comes to see that sequestration.
The uncertainty about the economy.
That is gonna definitely hurt the market right now but I will tell you that.
Ben Bernanke's -- in the -- Ben Bernanke has been a major factor in the run up in gasoline prices.
His comments could make or break.
The cost of gasoline five or ten cents a gallon we'll have to see what he -- about the value of the dollar.
Because -- -- value of the dollar that really determines how much gasoline really possible that gives us some little authority tomorrow felt maybe we'll keep our fingers are estimated that the prices go lower.
Great to see it as always thank you --

Try a Swiffer?
Johanna & the Dusty Floor — the alias of Aussie-born songwriter Johanna Cranitch — has garnered lofty comparisons to the likes of St. Vincent and Kate Bush, among others. Owing to luxuriously ornate piano arrangements and a knack for bright yet deceptively heart-wrenching songwriting, we're inclined to concur. She plays the Monkey House in Winooski on Tuesday, March 12, with Clementine & the Galaxy and Dynasty Electric.

Another former WPDE All-Zoner is getting a chance at the NFL. Brandon Bostick has signed a free agent deal with the Green Bay Packers. Bostick, who played wide receiver at Division II Newberry, will try and make the Packers roster as a tight end. Bostick was invited to Packers rookie three day minicamp on a tryout basis and was signed by Packers GM Ted Thompson on Wednesday. Bostick made WPDE's All-Zone team in 2006.
Bostick joins a number of former players with local ties who are getting an opportunity to go to an NFL Training Camp as a free agent including North Myrtle Beach's Ryan Quigley, who inked with Chiacgo, Lake City's Edmon McClam, who will go to Detroit Lions training camp, and former CCU tight end Jamie Childers who signed with the Saint Louis Rams.

Planning ahead...
January 02, 2008, 02:03:31 am »
Hey all,
I am currently having a home built and the Home theater guys are suppose to do the wiring instillation here in the next few weeks. I am trying to plan ahead and have an idea about what I want to do, but am not really sure how to get there...
What specifically should I have done to this home, (ie pre-wire) so that I can take advantage of everything LMCE has to offer? Initially, I may not be able to have everything I want up and running on day one (too much money all at once), but Id like to plan ahead properly and atleast have the most advanced wiring done now, while the walls are still uncovered, and put all the components in later.
I am planning on building myself or having someone else more knowledgeable build me a HTPC that will serve my needs of today and tomorrow. I saw both videos describing the features of LMCE and honestly, I like it all. I know I want to have security cameras set up outside as well as some type of self monitored security system on particular doors and windows. Lighting inside/outside would be nice, but probably last on my list of wants. Most of all, Id like to get all the wiring done today and be able to have some type of "central server" running LMCE and be able to manage everything, from anywhere in my home. Id also like to have a "central nas" where all my media is stored for easy access. Heck, Im not sure if it matters, but the "HDD" could be inside the HTPC as part of the HHD or established in a seperate location in the home.
Another question is this. I already have a few of my components (Vizio 50 Plasma, Onkyo 7.1 dual channel HDMI receiver, 5.1 Polk audio speakers) others I'm guessing I will have to buy later. From what I understand about LMCE, It really only works well, if you have the exact items that its compatible with, so in planning ahead, is there a list of specific items that I should start looking at, or can I get what I want and then just look to see if there is a patch for what ever component that I bought? How limited are we when using LMCE?
Also, I am starting to look at putting together a kick butt HTPC. If you were going to build your dream HTPC, what would you put in it? I dont want to spend my money uselessly in areas that dont really require big expenditures. (ie getting 4G of ram when I really only need 2G, something like that)
I really appreciate any advice and replys that I get,
PS I live in Louisville KY (USA) and was curious what the best medium for LMCE is, DirecTV or Cable? Im thinking Cable. I love my DTV but hate the bill for all the DTV boxes (2 Tivo's, 1 HD DVR and 2 regular boxes) Is it possible for LMCE to distribute a TV signal to every TV in my home using just one DirecTV HD DVR receiver and watch seperate TV channels at the same time in different places in the home? Would I need to have an extender in ever room that had a TV do this or will the RG6 line work to get the signal out? I would want to have access to LMCE's DVR tech in each room, but I think I would need the extenders to give me this function. I can see Cable being able to do this because the basic cable signal is distributed throughout the entire home and to every room, but DirecTV requires a receiver box in every room that you want TV. Its great TV, but expensive and a pain in the arse... Any ideas?

1) Run cat 5 or cat 6 everywhere you may want to put anything. Since you can even repurpose Cat 5 (need 2 pair) for HDMI is will do almost anything. What it won't do you need RG6 for, which is connection to cable, sat and broadcast video.
2) The Sat guys and the cable guys have built a moat around their content and you really are only able to get it directly from their box. You can capture SD and move that through the system but HD is a problem. However if you are OK with broadcast HD use a SiliconDust tuner and say goodby to cable charges forever. The HD off of broadcast is significantly better than any other except Bluray or HDDVD and with the writers strike why keep throwing significant $$$ at the cable/sat guys. $1200 to $3600 a year is a lot for content.
3_) Once captured the content is available to any box in the system.

In a full system, I would highly recommend doing a separate core and media directors setup.
The core can be a moderately spec'ed PC, as long as it has two ethernet NICs (one for external internet, and one for internal LAN), and has a sufficient way to add additional storage. I would recommend getting a multi-port SATA card, or a motherboard with on-board RAID (even though you won't use the bios provided raid, you will want the extra ports), and convert them to eSATA, so that you can attach eSATA RAID cages and attach more storage as you need it and set it up via the web admin.
The Media director, I would recommend using an MSI Media Live (7329) barebone. It has ALL of the video outputs you would ever need, a slot loading DVD drive, and an VFD with transport controls below the display. It has an NVIDIA chipset on the motherboard, and can take various forms of the current line of AMD multi-core processors. I recommend at least 1G of ram in each of the media directors for this purpose.

As noted previously, run CAT5/6 everywhere. Everywhere is, each place where you need a light, each place where you have any kind of electrical outlet, each window and door. Run 2-4 CAT5 cables to every place where you think you already know you need 1. If feasible run an HDMI cable from your central wiring closet to the your intended TV place.
Did I mention to make sure to run enough cables
Yes, cables do cost money, but in the end of the day, putting the cables in now, will save you a lot and will later on greatly enhance the SWMBO / WAF factor.

As mentioned, enough Cat6 cables, or Cat5E (the E is important).
Make sure they put in enough conduits so that you can pull additional cables later.
Also if you plan a home theater make sure they pull conduits for a 7.1 surround, even though you do not have it now, crawling inside walls is not very easy (unless your an inch tall).
Also have all the cables for phone and ethernet terminate at one spot/cabinet, a few years ago they would just pull one cable and hook all the phones up in parallel, this will not work particularly well for a good computer network. (I am struggling with such an installation, and pulling the four cables necessary to get the same coverage trough the existing conduit is not possible).

Since you have no walls up yet, I would recommend running some good quality conduit.. then you can alway fish cable through later..
I like 2" PVC pipe, like the vacuflo pipe or drain pipes..You could use real conduit, but that's a bit expensive.. run that to all your possible speaker locations, to your TV, to your wiring closet, etc.
find a common location to terminate all PVC runs (preferrably in the wiring closet) and LABEL THEM!!
All your electrical plugs / light switches, run standard 1" conduit and terminate at the same place.
It's a lot of work, but well worth the effort..especially when you replace your TV, and need the new $&@^$ connection.. big 2" pipe, you can easily run a new line.
Just my 2 cents..
The only intuitive interface is the nipple. After that it's all learned.

Hi all,
Going by many of the previous posts, I guess it's a good thing to install more wires than you think you'll
need. This works great in a new house or during major renovations, but what's the best way to wire an older house? For example, I live in a 100+ years old house where the previous owners pulled a gazillion phone wires to everywhere, but of course no CAT5/6.
Is it feasible to have only 1 wire to each room, and then use ethernet switches (possible daisy chained)?

I live in an older house as well.... luckily there is a crawl space, but I haven't gotten around to running cat6 everywhere.. so in the meantime I'm using powerline network adaptors... you never hear too much about it, but I tried it and I've gotta say it works really well... basically, you have one small box that you plug into your switch and then plug into an AC outlet.. then, anywhere you have an AC outlet, you can plug in additional powerline devices and you've got an ethernet port... if I remember correctly, mine supports up to 16 devices... the rated speed is 85Mbps.... (not quite 100Mbps but much better than wireless). I bought the SlingBox brand, the actual model is the Slinglink turbo... bought them from BestBuy for around 75.00/pair...

I just ran twelve (12) CAT6 cables from my garage to the attic for my home network. It was a pain in the @$$ but the cables are there. I am currently only going to use eight (
but only wanted to be in that crawl space for as little of time as needed. I will add a switch in the garage and let it manage all the network issues.

Also have all the cables for phone and ethernet terminate at one spot/cabinet
Running conduit throughout your home into a central junction is by far the best way to "future proof" your home. Whatever cabling you need to upgrade to later can be just blown down the tubes (and the old stuff just pulled back through) comparatively quickly and cheaply. Conduits for AV outputs like speakers/monitors are important to remember. And when in doubt, add the extra conduits, because the incremental cost of an unused conduit is small compared to either the overhead of having the job done at all, or to the cost of adding more later.

Pull Strings in the conduit also help
When you pull a cable through, don't forget to also pull another pull string...

Hey there fellow Louisville, KY native. What part of the county is your home being built in? I live over off of Taylorsville and Bardstown rd near bowman field airport
I'm pretty familiar with most of the current home automation tech and wouldn't mind giving you some input. PM me and we'll work out some kind of communication. It's always easier to have someone see the home/plans and then give you ideas
In case you are wondering,
I should be getting the majority of the automation stuff in my home working in the next few months. Insteon lighting, touch screen controls, 1-wire temperature sensors in each room, HVAC, security and a few ip cameras. I'm already a longtime mythtv user. I keep a profile here:
The biggest hassle with home automation for me is wiring everything up in a pre-existing house (and plaster walls to make it even harder). It's definitely a good idea to prewire your house up if you know this is something you want to do.
As to the cable/satellite question. If you want multiple tv's with linuxmce or really any computer pvr, cable is the way to go for now. Unlimited tuners can be added with cable whereas with satellite you are limited to your number of available tuner boxes. With insight cable, however, there is the hidden cost of the freaking hd box if you want to record your non-free content. Last time I checked they are charging $17 a month for these puppies. I plan on giving insight a call in the next week or two to see about getting on some kind of promotion for some of the tv content I have. I currently only use the motorolla 6200 box for getting channels above 100.
HTPC - depending on how many clients you have, a quad core system could be for you. I've been thinking about the low power version of the Q6600 from intel, but for right now the e2140 dual core is working fine for me. 2GB of some cheap hp ram I got on a deal for $7 per gig after rebate. I also have massive amounts of storage for high def video mostly. Current storage space is around the 5.5TB range on my fedora 8 server. For me, the majority of my htpc money went to buying hard drives.
I'd definitely recommend using a hdhomerun for your OTA or qam HD capture device to bypass the hassle of keeping firmware up-to-date and also to free up pci slots in the server.
cost of a good htpc:
Good mobo - $70 to 100
ram - dirt cheap for 2 gb lets say $20 after rebate
Intel processor or amd - Dual core - Intel 2180 (very low power and highly overclockable to 3.5ghz), AMD low power dual core 2350 or something like it - around $85 to 100 - Quad core - Intel Q6600 gstepping for low power or amd phenom. Both around $200 to $250 - I'm not sure a quad core will really make a big difference as opposed to overclocking a cheap intel e2180.
power supply - good active switching power supply $50 to 100 - greater than 500watts
Case - LARGE server case for throwing in a lot of storage $100 to 150
Capture cards - hdhomerun - $160, analog - hauppauge pvr-150s - $30 to 60 each depending on used or new
Remote - Fiire $150
Hard drives - 750GB sata drives $140 to 150, 1tb drives - $200+ - for the myth recording I'm having good results with 2x 750GB drives in raid 0. For Everything else I prefer raid 5 arrays of whatever. Currently have 300gbx5 and 500GBx5 raid arrays. Overall storage for backend/server ~5tb

I disagree with the Cable/Satellite theory..
I am running 2 dual LNB dishes into a 9x8 diseqc multiswitch..
The tuner cards (dvb-s) are cheap, and if your considering the cost of the multiswitch, it pays for itself in the first year easily.
I can have up to 8 outputs (4 satellites on each output) with this configuration, although I currently only have 4.
Also, a 4x3 diseqc multiswitch will do the job for 2 satellites, and 3 outputs.. and it's only about $25.00
HD is possible with DVB-S (legalities are a different question)

"I actually did have a dead cat museum, but I called it a mummified cat museum because, really, who would be trying to sell views of dead cats? That is just disgusting," Kyle Murdock says, laughing gently. We are looking at a reproduction of Dead Cat Museum, painted by Jamie Wyeth in 1999. Kyle, age ten, is the subject. "It's all about the model, by the way. It has nothing to do with the artist," Kyle adds with a smile.
In the painting, young Kyle is standing with his back to a window outside of his childhood house on Monhegan Island, off the coast of Maine. He is wearing a white-collared shirt with a brown necktie, a black cape, and no shoes. His shorts are the same color as the cedar-shingled house behind him: deep gray with hints of olive green and blue. He is pointing to a homemade plywood sign, which reads: "Kyle's Dead Cat Museum. See the Cats 50 Cents, Lemonade 10 Cents. Nintendo (no accessories) $10-20." His small body casts a shadow onto the sliver of door to his right. To Kyle's left, a light blue sky contrasts with the earth tones used to illustrate him and his house. An American flag flies from the rooftop of the Island Inn in the distance, and nine colorful tourists are walking beside red flowering bushes on a path that winds away from his house.
"I was always an entrepreneur, that's for sure," Kyle, now twenty-two, tells me. We are sitting at the kitchen table in the house he lives in with his parents in Tenants Harbor, a town twelve miles across the water from Monhegan on the mainland. His cat, Socrates, meows insistently. Kyle looks at Soc and says, "You're just upset because nobody is paying attention to you." Soc rubs his back against the leg of the table.
We talk about the origin of Kyle's unusual childhood business. "Do you know about the bog man?" Kyle asks. I shake my head, and he continues. "You know, the guy they found in South America, the explorer who fell in the bog and his body was preserved? Well, I had cats that were like the bog man. They had been naturally petrified from the soil conditions. I found them when men were insulating under my Aunt Katie's house on Monhegan. Digging up the earth, they came out with these cats."
From across the room, Kyle's mother, Winnie, chimes in. "It was this huge pile of dirt and dead cats."
"Yeah," Kyle continues. "I dug through it and I found three good ones."
"He's on the pile in the mud, digging through and going 'Eeeew, that's disgusting. Well, that one's not so bad.' " Winnie laughs as she remembers.
It was Kyle's uncle who initially came up with the idea to turn the cats into an opportunity. "My uncle told me I should charge tourists money to see them. He thought I'd make a killing. I had a chalk sign in the beginning: 'Mummified cats and lemonade stand,' " it said.
Did he sell more cat views or lemonade? "Cats," he says. "They were too queasy after the cat views to want lemonade."
Kyle explains how he would solicit his customers. "We lived in the center of town," he recalls. "Everyone coming off the ferry had to walk by. The house was next to the town's two lunch spots and the general store. Even the wait staff at the restaurant would send customers to see the little kid with dead cats." Kyle laid the cats in a Pepperidge Farm box that said, "Broken cookies means lost sales." Every summer he'd entice more visitors. "I was quite the salesman, a real hustler. I remember one day, I was probably six or seven, and I made eighty dollars selling views of the cats."
"He would make hundreds of dollars every summer," Winnie interjects.
Both tourists and artists are drawn to Monhegan's rugged coast. Jamie Wyeth purchased property in Lobster Cove in the 1960s, and has been painting the island's landscape and local people ever since. I ask Kyle how being the subject of a Wyeth painting influenced his childhood. "There were kids around me that I grew up with who were painted by Jamie Wyeth," he says, "so it didn't seem like a big deal to me. It wasn't until I grew up and moved away from the island that I realized a lot of things I experienced growing up were not what anybody else would ever consider normal."
And does the child captured in the painting represent the person he has become now? "Not too much about me has changed," Kyle says. "I've refined certain points of my personality. I've become more scientific, analytical, and careful." Reflecting on his past, Kyle points out that he was raised in a family of lobstermen. Island life, by nature, promotes working together to form a community. The local fishermen watched him grow up, and he learned about working hard as he watched their boats pull out before sunrise to haul traps.
In 2008, when the price of lobster crashed, Kyle started questioning why trucks full of Maine lobster were being shipped to Canada for processing. It didn't make sense to him that another country controlled the market. Maine lobster is a brand, and the demand for it is high. Processing lobster locally would cut down on shipping and fuel costs, he reasoned. And so Kyle started creating a business plan in his spare time between college classes. "Most people move into lobster processing by securing a supply for markets they already have. I was approaching it from the other end, trying to find markets for the supply that was there." Kyle learned from his father that a former mussel farm was for sale in Tenants Harbor. "I put in an offer on the property and when it was accepted, I decided to drop out of school and work full time to make this happen."
Kyle hit some hurdles along the way due to his youth and lack of capital, but in late July he opened Sea Hag Seafood, which he hopes to build into a successful company. "I'd like to be able to contribute something to Maine, rather than taking what it contributed to me and going somewhere else," he says, and in his dark eyes I see the same energetic ambition that attracted an artist's interest more than a decade ago on Monhegan, along with a glimmer of pride.
Diane Sternberg is a freelance writer and a sailing instructor at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. She met Kyle Murdock through her studies at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland.

- 15 Aug 2013 Anonymous USA
- " The hotel is in a strategic location, not in the heart of Strip, but in the beginning. However, there is a bank around, convenience stores and a bus stop. People are very friendly in the hostel and they organize cheap tours for people to know Vegas. The rooms are good and there are lockers inside, the bathroom is also nice. "

- 06 Aug 2013 Bruna Brazil
- " This hostel is very good despite its location across the parking lot from a strip club, but hey, that's Las Vegas! It's just north of the strip, between the new casinos and the downtown casinos. It's a party hostel, but it's also very quiet at night if you want to rest from your day walking up and down Las Vegas Blvd under a 120°F summer heat! Each room has its own bathroom, and both are really clean. And you can't beat the price anywhere in Vegas! "

If the SWF isn't working quite like it should try drinking some extra water
about 30 minutes after you finish your SWF. It works really well when you
aren't getting as much elimination as you expect.
Don't count the extra water you drink towards your total ounces for the day
though. It will go straight through like the SWF. I figured this out after a
tall glass of ice water... and shortly after had a nice ice cold elmination.
Good for the acidy detox elimination days...

Most important read for first time cleansers:
this morning i was bound and determined to get that swf into me-as i said in my last post. when i prepared the flush used less salt than i had before-a bit less then 1 tbs for abt 10 oz of water(the taste was less strong). i choked it down-in abt 30 minutes...and threw it all back up about 15 minutes later. it was soooo digustingly unpleasant and now the thought of even one gulp has me gagging. i still had a nice elimination though-but only one. i guess i will have to put up with the cramps and bathroom breaks throughout the day at work. any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated...i really dont want to do tea 2x per day
If you wrote that right, no wonder you're throwing up!
The proper ratio is 2 TEAspoons for 1 QUART (32 oz) of water.
Using 1 Tbsp for 10 oz is using three times that amount! If you want to break it down into thirds, then you should be using 1 TEAspoon or less in 10 oz of water. But you do need to drink three of those, working up to it if necessary but as quickly as possible.
And if you aren't using gray Celtic sea salt, that will make it all that much harder.
Maybe you mistyped. But if you didn't, that's what's going on!

mtmouse-thanks so much for writing back! you didnt read my post wrong-i was using wayyy too much salt in my mixture. you have given me hope for tomorrow morning-i will let you know how i make out!
thanks again!
Hello, I am back in the saddle again starting the master cleanse for round 3. Yeah!
There were only 2 or 3 days total in my last two SWF where the last 1/4 or so of the SWF would come back up. Yesterday I drank it fine, but today I could not get any of it down. After throwing up the first two attempts, I gave up and went to the tea. I hope that I can do the SWF tomorrow. I may have to switch to Celtic Gray, though I am using Redmond, the same used for my other cleanses.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Have a great day!
did the swf with the proper amounts this morning, and it was great! (as great as drinking a litre of salt water could be!) eliminations were good-although i do feel tired this morning...we will see how the rest of the day goes! day 6 and feeling great!!
thanks again mtmouse!!

Tomorrow, Jan. 11, is day 10 for me. Yeaaa! Anyway, today, Jan. 10, I did not eliminate my SWF. Here is the deal. About 60min after I did my SWF, I felt the strong need to go, but I was in the middle of something at work and held it, even after three waves of "let me out!" As a result of holding it, I didn't have to go anymore and never did all day. This happened to me on Monday too, day 6. I know this can happen on the first days, but day 6 and 9! I now feel kind of like I'm constipated and I'm worried about all that salt staying in my system.
One tip for me that helps with the SWF is to make sure it is at room temperature. I find cold water harder to "chug."
Any thoughts? Or no need for me to worry.
No need to worry. The SWF works the same whether cold, warm, or hot. Your preference.
As for the other, I'm amazed that you can hold it at all. But from the sound of it, I'd suggest you listen to your body in the future and give it preference while you're cleansing.

I usually dont have to pee until I get into the shower. Something about the running water.....
And by then I dont want to get out and pee then get back in and get water everywhere, its just a hassle.
How many of you are peeing on your chics while in the shower?
We sometimes pee on each other.
But its OK for you to pee?
And you thought I didn't notice....
i like to stand on the toilet and piss over the shower curtain into the shower.
not really though.
i don't aim for the drain when i pee in the shower. i just pee in it's general direction. gravity takes it to the drain for me.
I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.
Busting a nut during your bubblebath is pretty cool, but I think peeing during your bath disolves all the soapy bubbles...
Nothingman argued that pee was sanitary since it's sterile, and therefore isn't bad to dump onto the shower floor. Jizz, by his argument, isn't sterile, and also it means that whoever you live with will now be walking in your cum residue.
He was against shower jizzing. That was the whole reason for the thread I believe. Not too many people supported him, which was the style at the time.
I'm such a sharp shooter with my insane-drain-aim!!
I think the next logical conversation point is "Who picks their nose in bed after sex?"

By Benét J. Wilson
Aircraft Spruce will allow customers to pre-order merchandise and pick it up during EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., between July 29 and Aug. 4.
The company listened to customers' requests by offering this service, said Aircraft Spruce Marketing Manager Desiree Czaplinski. "We have a lot of international and domestic customers. I noticed that we would get a few requests from our customers prior to the show asking us if we could bring something specific for them," she said. "Of course, the answer was always yes. I decided that a great way to be sure that we have everything in our booth that every customer would want or need, would be by letting them pre-order with us."
Aircraft Spruce, an AOPA strategic partner, started marketing the service during last year's EAA AirVenture, then expanded it for this year's Sun 'n Fun, said Czaplinski. "The results have been phenomenal and our customers have expressed such gratitude to us for offering this service to them that I decided to really promote this service to its full potential for this Oshkosh."
The company carries more than 80,000 parts, so it is impossible to bring everything to the show, said Czaplinski. "Customers have been pre-ordering avionic units that have specific databases, certain sized hardware, specific instruments, engine parts, etc. They really take advantage of this service and we are proud that we can offer the service to them," she said. "The exclusions to this service are really minimal, including oversized orders, orders that contain five-gallon containers, cases of oil, and packages measuring more than 84 inches length and girth or 60 inches long or exceed 25 pounds total weight."
Orders must be placed by noon Eastern time on July 23 to make the EAA AirVenture truck, she added.
"When placing an order online, choose 'store/airshow pickup' at the shopping cart and complete checkout. It's that easy and guarantees we bring the products you really need," said Czaplinski. "Then just show up at the booth, give us your order receipt, and we'll give you the order." Orders can be picked up at Aircraft Spruce's Hangar A booths No. 1022-1029.
Aircraft Spruce also brings a lot of its regular inventory to EAA AirVenture, said Czaplinski. "Each year a complete analysis takes place where we review what we brought to the show the previous year, what we sold, and also what new products have been added to our inventory since the previous show," she said. "It is a process, but it ensures that we bring what the majority of the show attendees would like to purchase."
The company has its booth in Hangar A and at a secondary location in Hangar D at booths No. 4113-4114. "We maximize every inch of the area that we have in our locations with inventory that represents Aircraft Spruce's 'Everything for Planes and Pilots,'" said Czaplinski. "We always bring the staple items including headsets, GPS systems, spark plugs, filters, books, training supplies, iPad accessories, fire extinguishers, oil, tires, and batteries."
Topics Pilot Gear and Services, Aircraft Components and Gear, Aircraft Spruce, AOPA Partners, EAA AirVenture, Events, New, Aircraft Design, GPS, Aircraft and Avionics, Aircraft Accessories, Pilots, Pilot Lifestyle
Apps that handle everything from checking aircraft N numbers to calculating crosswind, tailwind, and headwind components are among those recommended by AOPA members.
Tickets for the 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship series, including two U.S. races, are now on sale.
NetJets has added a new safety feature to its long-range fleet: a doctor who is always in.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.
