LMCE newb... what do I need?
September 08, 2011, 05:21:17 am »
Ok... so I'm intrigued by LMCE and really want to do both media / entertainment, home automation and security... possibly VOIP.
I'm a technology professional but novice with home automation and security and limited exposure to VOIP aside from 3rd party providers.
Here's my setup...
I currently have a Windows 7 HTPC connected to my HDTV with about a TB of storage (though I'd like to reconfigure this as it's a dynamic disk stripped across (2) 500GB drives and will probably fail soon. These are almost full of movies. Currently, I have a wireless card in this machine for access to my WLAN, but the performance is unacceptable when streaming from my NAS to watch 720/1080p movies so...
I have a 20-bay chassis with (10) 1TB drives in 2 RAID sets with a global hotspare for a total of 7TB of usable storage running FreeNAS.
I run a 2-node vSphere cluster with twin IBM xSeries 3500's connected via iSCSI from FreeNAS, each with 8GB of RAM. I've been thinking about cutting my cluster down to a single node and either using the other one for a core server or getting rid of it altogether (it's very loud and consumes alot of power).
I also run a decent Dell PC as an Untangled router...
I also have a another PC that I run Windows 7 on for my home desktop (as opposed to my work-provided laptop).
All of this is connected to a 48-port managed gig switch capable of VLAN tagging (which currently separates my storage network from my internet accessible network, as well as my ESXi management networks... routed via router on a stick with a Cisco 2651XM router)
Anywho... I'm planning to have my house wired so that I can use my NAS for streaming media as opposed to storing on the the HTPC. I know I can simply copy my media from the HTPC to the NAS and then use the HTPC as a MD or a hybrid (though I assume I might be better off running the Core on one of my servers). I have DirecTV and would like to control my DirecTV system via LMCE... I had a Gyration remote but it has died and I haven't yet replaced it. Do I need to have a TV tuner card to do this? I recognize that I'll need to get some sort of HDMI-in card to accept the signal from the box. Do my recordings then get recorded on the DVR or LMCE?
I've settled on Insteon for my home automation protocol but don't know what all I need to get started using insteon with LMCE. Do I need to get an Insteon starter pack with access points (bridges) or a controller to connect to LMCE? Or can I simply purchase insteon compatible switches/dimmers and connect the PLC to LMCE via USB?
Also, I have an existing honeywell security system that is currently not monitored by a security company. How do I connect the security system to LMCE and utilize existing door/window sensors and motion detectors?
As for VOIP, I'm assuming you have to have a telephone line to the PSTN to run Asterisk? Are there any ways to connect VOIP phones to the PSTN over the internet (aside from Vonage/Joiphone/etc)? I currently use Google Voice but i know there are limitations and such for connecting to external phone numbers.
Just looking for a little guidance... I know there's a lot here, but I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

A lot of information, but I'll try to give some pointers.
Hybrid/Core/MD. I prefer running a separate Core in a downstairs room, as it is supposed to be on 24/7. You may not want that in your living room. Another factor is whether you want several MDs down the line. That will also point towards a separate core.
Using NAS for storage is by some the prefered way to add storage to a LMCE system.
Also realize that LMCE is designed to be an appliance. That means that by design it requires to be set up with two network interfaces, one external, which should receive DHCP from your network gateway/modem, and an internal interface, which provides DHCP to your connected LMCE devices (MDs) and provide PXE(network) booting for MDs. The second point is the most important, but I strongly suggest not deviating from this setup if you're not 100% what you're doing.
I don't know anything about DirectTV, but in general you need some kind of device that captures/interfaces the video signal into your computer. But LMCE can also control a separate set-top-box if you are unable to do it other ways. LMCE uses MythTV or VDR as a DVR/PVR, and if you interface the video signal into LMCE, LMCE will record and play back those recording.
For home automation, you will also need some sort of interface to connect to your home automation network. Most such interfaces are USB-connected. I think there are some information about such thing in the wiki, look at the Home Automation category.
Security system. Connecting it to LMCE depends on what connections are available on the system. Most use RS232, but I don't know your particular system. You should check if LMCE supports your particular model too, check the wiki.
For VOIP, you need either a VOIP provider that allows you to connect your own Asterisk installation, or you need a ATA-adapter, which you plug in between your PSTN phone line and Asterisk. The SPA-3102 is an example of a adapter. The wiki also has information about this kind of setup.
Hope this helps.

thanks for the info...
I currently already have a DHCP server from my Untangled router... is DHCP/PXE required for MDs? If so, I know it's possible to PXE boot from a media server (separate from DHCP server) but I haven't done DHCP/PXE in a while since I am no longer in desktop support. My HTPC is currently on just about 24/7 anyways, but my servers are for sure. Does the core function well as a VM?
As for DirecTV, I was planning on utilizing my current set-top-box to interface with LMCE... so I essentially need a capture card for that?
Again, thanks for your help...

you are free to use your own DHCP and tftp server. Doing it the way LinuxMCE has been doing it (having both on the core) give you the advantage does everything works automatically.

If you're looking to shrink down your infrastructure, you might want to check out
, and specifically the PDF
. Basically, an ESXi host running a Solaris-based NAS/SAN appliance. You can use RDM, or if your hardware supports VT-d or IOMMU, you can pass through the HBA into the guest. Assuming you're running ZFS, you may even be able to export your ZFS pools from FreeNAS, and import them to the Solaris-based products. You definitely can not do vMotion if you go the All-in-one approach, or if you do any PCI pass-through of Tuner cards or other host-based devices.
LMCE runs fine as a VM, as I'm running it as a KVM VM on my Linux virtualisation host. I'm going to play with a virtual MD for some testing and infrastructure work I'm looking at doing. I've got an Athlon x2 5050e 2.6Ghz dual core running 6 VM's on 6GB of memory, and my load averages are 0.5 -1.5 the majority of the time (all Linux VM's). I'll have to bump it up CPU wise if I implement the Win7 Virtual Hosted Desktop I'm thinking of doing... (I like having my own private cloud).
I have two physical NIC's, as recommended by the LMCE configuration architecture. eth0 is the existing home "production" network, and eth1 is the LMCE managed network. I've bridged them internally, eth0 to br_ext, and eth1 to br_int, and I have VM's configured to attach to the appropriate network (think vSwitched internal networks bridged to external physical networks). My mail server VM, Misterhouse VM, and host-based DNS/DHCP/NFS/tftp/MythTV services are connected to the br_ext network, for my existing prod environment, and the LMCE dcerouter/core is dual-homed for external access, but it owns the br_int network. You could implement something similar using vSwitches and partition your switch or use VLAN tagging to separate the network environments. It's best to let LMCE manage DNS and DHCP for the LMCE network (the 192.168.80.0/24 net), so that the PnP and auto-configuration stuff works automagically. If you want to get really fancy, your WAN connection could connect to the Untangle box running as a VM by a physical NIC, have a second virtual interface connected to a vSwitch, which your internal environment gets fed from. I'll have to start a user page with a picture to show my network architecture... I have a few friends looking to do the same...

Or can I simply purchase insteon compatible switches/dimmers and connect the PLC to LMCE via USB?
I'm running Insteon at home myself, under Misterhouse presently. There are some GSD drivers in LMCE, but I haven't been able to get them to work reliably with my setup. Someone is working on proper C++ drivers with support for Insteon Groups, scenes, and Link management, so I'll try again when those drivers are ready. You'll need a PLM (USB or Serial) to attach to the computer, and you can use dual-band devices on different legs or phases to bridge the Insteon signals between your A and B legs (rather than Access Points). The USB PLM merely has a FTDI Serial to USB chip built in, so it'll show up as a serial port on /dev/ttyUSBx. It's important to get a good quality Insteon network going first; there are lots of "signal suckers" for Insteon/X10 PLC signals (like UPS's, PC Power Supplies, phone chargers, etc). You'll likely need to put those on signal filters to improve the reliability of the Insteon network. Dual-band devices are also useful for network integrity; at minimum, you'll need two, but they can be helpful on more problematic circuits, so more than two won't be a waste. Four seems to be a common number. If you have Arc-Fault circuit breakers, Insteon PLC signals won't pass through the breaker, so dual-band devices are useful for bridging the comms from the rest of the house onto the arc-fault protected circuit.
Hope that helps!

I have found vm's work fine for testing for both core and MD's but as far as a production system It don't cut the mustard.
as far as insteon goes ... lmce currently has better support for zwave.
Do you guys have stock in your electric companies
You can run lmce on a 35 watt core

In my day job, 95% percent of what I work on is virtualized, and I work with 4 different hypervisors on three different hardware platforms. The stuff that doesn't get virtualized is the stuff that will keep a 32-core box running flat out all the time on it's own. VM's run fine when the OS is tweaked to use paravirtualized drivers and some of the default behaviours of it's I/O are changed. It's also helpful to have an end-to-end understanding of the hosting hardware platform, the hypervisor and it's various schedulers, and the underlying infrastructure like SAN and network, plus where you need to tweak under the hood to optimize for the workload. At work we regularly get 80-100 VM's onto a big honkin server, and the client's don't know the OS instance is virtualized.
As for my home system, I'm running LMCE plus an average of 5 other VM's on a 45W Dual core CPU. LMCE (8.10) actually places the highest load on the system, in part do the the age of the virtualized drivers and the kernel itself, plus inefficiencies in ext3 filesystems running in virtuals. 10.04 with ext4 file systems and VirtIO drivers plays a lot nicer in a virtualized environment. I'm actually trying to avoid having to upgrade the CPU, but if I end up running Windows as a virtual I'll have no choice; Windows (even 7) takes up wayyyy more resources than an equivalent Linux install. Energy efficient CPU's in Socket AM3 are getting harder to find unless you special order them from NewEgg or something like that...
LMCE Core (1vCPU, 1.7G RAM)
Zarafa Mail Server (1vCPU 1.5G RAM)
Misterhouse Home Automation (1vCPU 512M RAM)
Astaro VPN endpoint (1vCPU 512M RAM)
Ubuntu Virtual Hosted Desktop (1vCPU 784M RAM)
LMCE MD and other test VM's (1 vCPU and various RAM sizes, keeping under 5G total to leave a gig for the host OS)
Plus MythTV and other external network services that are running on the host OS.
At this point in time, I'm more I/O bound than CPU bound, but less so since I added a 40G SSD which I've carved up through LVM and presented as separate disks to instances running MySQL. It gets mounted inside the guest at /var/lib/mysql, and the db files sit on it. I'm seeing ~1400 IOPS using the VirtIO drivers in the guest to the LVM'd SSD, compared to ~100 IOPS on my RAID-1 set on the host, using the Oracle Orion test tool. Disks are better for sequential I/O (like media files and logging), and SSD's are better for Random I/O (like OS drives and databases). Using Orion on the raw SSD block device from the host nets me ~25K IOPS (that's avoiding the FS and the FS cache).
One thing that tends to foul up most people using VM's is throwing more vCPU's at an instance in order to improve performance. More often than not, more vCPU's will hobble you, as the hypervisor has to find the free number of cores available at the same time as you have vCPU's configured, before it will schedule workload on the cores. So, on a dual core host, a VM with 2 vCPU's would need both cores free _at the same time_ before the hypervisor's scheduler will dispatch the guest onto the cores. So, host processes will be in competition with the guest for CPU time, as those usually get dispatched individually onto cores. If you have more than one 2vCPU guest, then they start to get into contention for CPU time, with each other and the other guests. If they have heavy I/O, then the host is competing with the guests for CPU time in order to perform the I/O, and all are starved out as a result. Then people complain that virtualization sucks...
Food for thought...

Thanks for your suggestions...
Frankly, I'm not necessarily trying to scale down (although it would help my electric bill if I did) my day job consists of designing and implementing vSphere environments and since my previous company didn't have a lab or lab gear, I built my own so that I could do testing/troubleshooting. So that's my reason for having an ESXi cluster... and I used to use OpenFiler but when I purchased my new hardware, I could not get OpenFiler to run without kernel panics... so I switched to FreeNAS.
I originally tried to run my Untangle router as a VM from a private routed network, but the performance was not good... it slowed down my internet access significantly. I essentially run 2 domain controllers, a windows file server, vCenter server and a couple of admin desktops. With that, my memory utilization is around 70% on each host so I don't have much headroom from that aspect. So because my new employer has a lab I no longer need lab gear in my home and I really don't use my domain for anything allowing me to repurpose at least one of my esxi hosts.
I looked at zwave but I've heard good/bad about it. I've heard that Insteon is more stable than zwave which is why I settled on it. I don't really care which I use, just as long as it works reliably. Suggestions would be appreciated.

I am sure my vm's are not fully optimized.... Thanks for the hints I have run my system for several months with as many as 7 md's from a virtual core. Other than the rare drop of my USB passthrough and long screen regens it worked pretty well. The main reason I dropped It from VM was Voip was very choppy. There probably is a tweak for that. But the need for reliable voip won out. I haven't tried lately but plan to once the voip is working for 1004.
any good docs you could point us to.
Currently I am running KVM on a proxmox ve server
I do have an 80gb ssd I could add for mysql use any hints on that

Just to add my 10c worth to this little 'hardware' v's 'Virtual Hardware' fest;
My home Core is currently built around a dual-core Atom 330 motherboard with 2gig of RAM and a 160gig boot drive - the whole core draws 22w peak and averages about 16w. I have a 4tb Linksys NAS for all my media storage... that draws about 12w. The system serves 4 audio/video zones and at peak on a Sat evening manages to record 12 concurrent DVB-T recordings while streaming a DVD or BluRay rip or two. We dont's use lighting or Voip but we could do so within the capacity of the Core. Adding IP Cams would be the only thing that I would think twice about with this Core... they stress a Core quite heavily if motion is enabled.
Hope the above helps.

I think I'll write up a wiki page of tips and tricks for virtualization that are specific to LMCE, so it doesn't get lost in this thread. Mostly, it's paying attention to a whole bunch of little details, where the aggregate cause a significant performance boost.
Proxmox VE is a Debian-based distro, with KVM and their own perl-based management GUI. I haven't used it myself other than quickly trying it out, but I believe it uses LVM as an option with local storage. If that's the case, then what you might want to do is carve off a 20G LVM slice of the SSD as your LMCE boot/root disk, and mount other spindle-based slices as /var/log, /tmp and /home. That way, you're placing your I/O workload onto hardware that will lend itself well to the types of I/O that will be hitting it. I think you'll find Orbiter Regens will just fly! It'll take some work to do it that way; you'll either have to install from scratch to the SSD, doing a manual partitioning of the virtual disks, or restore a clonezilla backup to the SSD, mount the spindle slices to temporary mount points and rsync the data over (and then delete the original copy), then pivot the disks into their final mount points. There are some SSD specific optimizations that can be done in the guest OS, plus the disk I/O schedulers need to be disabled for the virtual disks.
Basically, the kernel disk drivers assume that it's writing to real disks, so it queues up and re-orders operations in order to take advantage of where the heads are over the disk platters. The host OS is already doing this, so we don't need the guest OS doing it also, because it will simply be working at odds to what the host (who actually controls the access to the disks) is doing. So, we add "elevator=noop" to the kernel boot parameters of the guest. Where to do it varies between grub and grub2, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the wiki. You can change it on the fly with echo noop > /sys/block/[s,v]d[a-z]/queue/scheduler. You can also cat that file to see the one in brackets that is presently selected. You can do that change on a per-disk basis in /etc/rc.local, by echoing the appropriate scheduler to the appropriate disk. SSD's like the deadline scheduler better, as it round-robins all the processes seeking I/O time.
You also want to configure the device on the virtualisation host as a "Virtual disk" rather than an emulated IDE or SCSI, as that will leverage the paravirtualized VirtIO drivers. You'll also want to configure the network adapter as a VirtIO device as well, as the drivers for both network and disk are included in the 8.10 and 10.04 kernels. VirtIO gives a huge performance boost (near native, 95~99% to the physical hardware), as the hypervisor is not having to emulate various hardware registers in software. Networking between VM's using VirtIO is simply a memory-to-memory copy, and that occurs at orders of magnitude faster in RAM than on wirespeed.
There are some other parameters I've put in my libvirt config files to disable caching, mount point options in the guest OS's to optimize for the underlying slices, and some other application specific tweaks, so I'll go through my stuff at home and make a proper wiki page for a virtual LMCE core. I've got some half baked ideas for some infrastructure work on LMCE that will do some auto-detection of the underlying core and md hardware (physical and virtual), and will make optimizations based on what it finds. It's something I'm already working on at the day job, so I'll need to work up a proof-of-concept at home for how I can abuse it for use in LMCE. It's going to take a while to get there, as I have to poke around under the hood in LMCE to see how things are working presently, and how (and when) this new infrastructure could be integrated non-disruptively.
Hope that helps!

The founding/management team is one of the critical areas investors look at in a startup. Usually the team is more important than the idea/product.
Investors like to see a proven track record of previous successes. But what if this is your first startup? How can a first time entrepreneur demonstrate his ability to execute if he doesn't have a prior business he can point to? What strategies can a first time entrepreneur follow to overcome this?
The immediate thing that comes to mind is talking about your successes while working for a previous employer, but that seems a bit weak to me. Is there a better way to answer this question?

The game features fully animated leaders interacting with players from a screen-filling diplomatic scene and speaking in their native language for the first time. Wars between empires feel massive as armies dominate the landscape, and combat is more exciting and intense than ever before. The addition of ranged bombardment allows players to fire weapons from behind the front lines, challenging players to develop clever strategies to guarantee victory on the battlefield. In addition, an extensive suite of community, modding and multiplayer elements also make an appearance.
Sid Meier's Civilization V Digital Deluxe Edition will expand players' conquests with the new Babylonian civilization and their ruler, Nebuchadnezzar II (c. 630 – c. 561 B.C.). As King of Babylon, gamers will be able to expand their empire with advanced Babylonian Bowmen to rightfully earn the title of Nebuchadnezzar the Great. Sid Meier's Civilization V Digital Deluxe Edition will also include an in-depth "Behind the Scenes at Firaxis with Civilization V" video feature, as well as the game's epic soundtrack.

A red bit got away from me - they can be awfully slippery sometimes.
You lost another one: RGB0. (Damned bits... This sort of thing never used to happen when the MCP was in control.)
RGB332 doesn't look right
Posted Jan 30, 2007 21:38 UTC (Tue) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link]

Everybody's a critic, I know, but... I think it might work better to stick with a single shade for each channel and use a bullet or mid-dot or something to mark the most significant bit. (Are these made out of mini-tables? That was my assumption, but I haven't looked at the source yet.) I find the pale blue and pale green to be much more similar to each other than to the "regular" blue and green, to the point that the very first case (light blue, dark blue, light green, ...) looks more like a single bit on a pale background than a two-bit grouping followed by a three-bit one.
To put it another way, the grouping of same-color bits is more important information than which individual bit is most significant, but the extreme paleness of the MSBs makes them the most visually striking part of the diagrams. (IMHO. :-) )

Stone 1: | Diamond Diamond: The hardest and most brilliant of all gemstones, a diamond can make the heart race with its pure and fiery spark. An ancient symbol of love, a diamond is the preferred gemstone for tokens of affection, such as rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Diamond is the birthstone for April.

Stone 2: | Garnet GARNET: the birthstone of January. One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed." This name was given to the garnet because of its close resemblance to the succulent seed. (Color: Red, Quantity: 11, Shape: Round, Weight: 1.60 ct. t.w., Size: 3-4 mm) |

5/21/2009: Isn't Indian Govt promoting extremism, terrorism? - The Daily Mail |
While the Congress is set to form a new government in India and it has constantly been calling for end to terrorism and extremism in the region and Delhi has been showing all the willingness to do so, it becomes highly imperative that the Congress government should act promptly and solidly to make certain amendments in the curriculum of it educational text books and the policies at schools, particularly the religious schools and these amendments and change must be made in the light of the findings of Ms. Felice D Gaer, Commissioner of the US Commission for International Religious Freedom who had pin pointed an alarming state of affairs at hundreds of Hindu educational institutes throughout India that are producing thousands of Hindu extremists and fundamentalist militants every year and are actually being run on the pattern of Madrassas of former Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

Vault Blogs / Did Some Law Schools Actually Shrink Enrollment?
by Vault Education Editors | July 06, 2011
Legal jobs vanished. Fewer people applied to law schools. Some schools cut enrollment. There are too many lawyers.
For the JD-curious, Zac Bissonette repeats what can always use repeating:
My advice to would-be law students is this: Don't think that law school is a guarantee of anything, and only consider going if the career you are passionate about involves being a lawyer. Keep your ego out of it, and don't be seduced by the bright lights of a J.D. Finally, let your results on the LSAT influence your decision: If you aren't qualified to get into an elite law school, consider that it might not be the right career for you anyway.

Nevada doesn't have a major league baseball team, so Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has to borrow some of his sports allegories from others.
In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, the Nevada Democrat was trying to make a point about Senate disruption of presidential appointments when he referenced the manager of the Washington Nationals, Davey Johnson. Except Reid didn't call the District's home team "the Washington Nationals."
"Davey Johnson is a manager of the National Mets. This team we're so happy to have here in Washington," Reid said.
Reid's mix-up likely came from Johnson's own background as manager of the New York Mets, a background the Senate Democrat referenced a few sentences later.
Johnson managed the Mets from 1984-1990 and steered the team to a 1986 World Series title.
The mix-up has not gone unnoticed by Reid, or at least by whomever handles his social media presence. The Senator's Twitter profile posted a photo of Reid and Johnson an hour after his office was contacted for comment by CNN. Along with the photo, the tweet read: "M?e?t?s? Nats manager Davey Johnson wouldn't succeed with half a team. President Obama can't either."

Day 1
Fly to Alicante. Drive to the little village of Benimantell, half way up on Gualdalest valley.
Day 2
From Benimantell we walk down past the water dam of Guadalest towards casa de Gorgues.
From here, we make our way up to El Somo and up to Xortá (1037m), where we are rewarded with breathtaking views of the horseshoe-shaped Guadalest Valley. We then descend along northern slope of Penyó Gelat walking past the region's most ancient Moorish defensive point, known as Castellet. The day ends in Beniardá, where we visit the local olive oil factory, producing award-winning olive oils in small scale. We have the option to wither walk or be transferred to our accommodation in Benimantell. Duration of walk: 8 hours
Day 3
After a short transfer to Beniardá, we start the day by ascending the spectacular Barranc de la Canal gorge with its two parallel fins of upturned limestone strata leading to Malla del Llop (1360m), from where we can enjoy sweeping views of the Aitana range and even the Valencia Mountains on a clear day.
The descent to Abdet along the western spine of Serrella with views over two valleys makes the long climb worthwhile. Duration of walk: 8½ -9 hours
Day 4
From the pension we walk along the northern slopes up to the Font de Partagat and then scramble through Pas de la Rabosa, the only natural break on the Aitana, which gives access to the summit from this north side. We have lunch at the Simas limestone fissures, up to 90m deep, situated on a ridge near the summit of Aitana. It is an impressive geological formation and a perfect picnic spot. Weather permitting, it's possible to climb the summit (optional). We make our way down to the village of Sella - possibly the most scenic descent and dramatic views of the whole trek! We stay at a family-run guesthouse, perched a thousand feet up on the slopes of the Aitana peak and under the shelter of the dramatic Puig Campana, with wonderful views, gardens, and great hosts. Duration of walk: 8½ hours
Day 5
We make our way to Barranc dl Arc, where we access the spectacular limestone peaks and needles of Pena Roc and walk through El Salt down to the Barranc de Sanchet. This area enchants people with its soaring towers and walls of rock all around. Early sunset lights will catch the spine of the jagged Castellets ridge that stretches down to Orxeta. On the way to Sella we discover beautiful 'huertas', green orchards with citrus plantations, vegetable gardens and ancient irrigation channels. Duration of walk: 8 hours
Day 6
A free day to relax or explore the lovely village of Sella, visiting the hermita (shrine), the Moli de Baix (one of the best preserved water mills of the Mediterranean, just under our guest house!). Alternatively, head for a quiet beach near the town of Villa Joiosa and visit the chocolate museum or sea kayaking or Altea where there are handcraft shops and art galleries (transfers not included).
Day 7
A fairly tough walk to complete the week - the summit of the Puig Campana (1410m) with a 360° view! Almost all of the peaks and ridges traversed on the previous days may be seen. On the other side the Mediterranean stretches to the horizon. We approach the north face of this mountain along good trails and paths, embarking on a gentle climb passing the Collao del Llamp to the Collao Pouet, the actual base of the mountain. From here, we climb a new footpath on the north face of this spectacular peak, returning to our vehicle by the Sacarest access, over the Castellets. Return by vehicle to Sella. Duration of walk: 7 hours
Day 8
Transfer to Alicante airport after breakfast. If your flight leaves before the group flight, please note a private transfer from Sella to Alicante airport will be EUR75 (paid locally to taxi driver).

HSBC denies it is partial to any flotation after rumours
Ian King: Business Editor's Commentary
HSBC denies it is partial to any flotation after rumours
Ian King: Business Editor's Commentary
Postal workers are to get a 9 per cent pay rise over three years and a £200 Christmas bonus in a ground-breaking pay and conditions deal which indicates that both peace and goodwill has finally broken out at the Royal Mail. In what is believed to a be an industrial relations first, the Royal Mail has also signed up to protect current job conditions for its staff for a period of five years in what is effectively a no-strike agreement with the Communication Workers Union. Fears that Royal Mail would give away generous terms to prevent strike action this Christmas and in years to come appear not to have fazed investors. On the stockmarket, Royal Mail shares touched a new high, up 2p at 596½p – showing a 72 per cent increase from their debut of 330p. The three year pay deal will see 139,000 Royal Mail workers – more than 80 per cent of them in the CWU - receive a 3 per cent pay deal for this year backdated to April. They will get another 3 per cent in the next financial year and a further 2.8 per cent in 2015-16 depending on where the rate of inflation is. In compound terms, Royal Mail workers will be 9.06 per cent better off. In addition they are to get £200 in their Christmas pay packets "in recognition of business progress" since privatisation. It was also revealed the company is working on a new employee incentive scheme – outside of the free shares they received at flotation – to be introduced from next April. The key
Edward Bonham Carter is standing down as the chief executive of Jupiter Fund Management after 14 years in which he led a management buyout of the firm and later floated it on the stock market. He will be replaced by Maarten Slendebroek, the distribution and strategy director of Jupiter, on March 17, when Mr Bonham Carter will become vice-chairman, responsible for "engaging with key stakeholders". He will take a pay cut and reduce his hours to a four-day week, but will remain on the board. The new role is seen as partly ambassadorial, meeting clients and regulators. Mr Bonham Carter, 53, has overseen a series of landmark events, including a private equity-backed management buyout in 2007 from Commerzbank after a sometimes prickly relationship with its German masters. Later, in 2010, he listed the firm, since when it has doubled in value to £1.7 billion.
HSBC is considering spinning off its UK retail and commercial banking operations in a move that would help it deal with planned new rules requiring British banks to ringfence their retail arms. The plans to float up to 30 per cent of the UK operations are thought to be at an early stage, the Financial Times reported, but the idea has been discussed with investors and informally at board level. A business of this size could be worth about £20 billion. HSBC has a market capitalisation of about £123 billion, making it Europe's biggest bank. HSBC declined to comment on the report today. Shailesh Raikundlia, an analyst at Espirito Santo, said of the float idea: "Such a move would crystallise a higher rating for the whole group, especially in the light of buoyant investor sentiment on the UK economy." However, people familiar with HSBC thinking played down

These pillows are fantastic, although a bit expensive. When I bought the first one, I thought it was a set of two. So, I was quite surprised when only one arrived (though I then realized the title didn't say two....), and considered returning it because of the price. However, I loved this pillow so much I ordered another one - despite the price! It is stuffed very full of filling, but the filling is very soft like down or cotton. Its firm, but not hard. Your head slightly sinks down into it, but not so much that it disappears. They are just right! I am a side sleeper, and found this to be perfect to support my neck. It says its for stomach sleepers - but I would think its too full for a stomach sleeper personally; I guess it depends on the position you sleep in. I will say that my husband wasn't as fond of them (though he didn't hate them) - but he couldn't articulate what he preferred in our previous pillows. I found our prevoius pillows to be a bit too firm and not squishy enough. So, we decided that there was no reason we both had to use the same pillow! Thus, my guest bed now has one of each also :-)
My husband had allergy reactions to the down pillow causing interrupted sleep. The change away from down worked.
I love this pillow. So much so, that I purchase an additional two.
I have searched for months for a queen size, down alternative pillow for stomach sleepers. I have had these pillows for over a month now and LOVE them.
good/average pillow - a little overly light/fluffy for me, but if you like that then this is a great pillow for you
My husband thinks it is comfortable, and it washes nicely, it fits my pillowcases fine, and it looks nice and fluffy .

This is Vegas not canceled after all
This is Vegas canned? Not a chance, says Warner Bros.
"This is Vegas has not been cancelled," a WB spokesperson told G4. "The game is currently in production."
And so, like the nightlife vampires it depicts, This is Vegas is not so easily killed. The wet T-shirted dream lives on, for better or for worse.

Midway's This is Vegas probably canceled
According to a report on Action Trip, Midway's glitz, glamor, and sleaze simulator This is Vegas has probably been canned.
Apparently, GameStop has informed preorderers that the game won't be making it into their surprisingly eager hands, so that's probably that.
The cancellation can most likely be attributed to Midway's recent sale to Warner Bros.
And so passes the front runner in the race to make the dream of virtual wet T-shirt competitions real.
More through the link.

Mortal Kombat team becomes WB Games Chicago
After being plucked from financial quicksand by Warner Bros., Midway's been having a bit of an identity crisis. Now though, it seems the drama's done and over, because according to superannuation, a very crucial piece of Midway has been rebranded.
The gist of it is that two former Midway employees — who are now with Warner Bros. — list themselves as working for WB Games Chicago on social networking site LinkedIn. One profile also details the guts of WB's game development force, which "includes Monolith Productions, Surreal Software, Snowblind Studios and WB Games Chicago."
Midway's Chicago studio developed Mortal Kombat, among other titles.
We've put in an email to Midway asking for confirmation, and will let you know as soon as we hear more.

We've got years of knowledge and bags of ideas, and as with every web project there's always so much to talk about - from techie stuff like databases, content management systems and information management, to the fun things like design, user experience and internet marketing too.
To kick anything as exciting and dynamic off as all that, has to be worth a chat over something warm and welcoming ... first though (while we put the kettle on) a bit about how we work.
How we work
If you are looking for somebody to build your website for you then you are looking in the wrong place. It may be a more demanding road to travel but at Tincan we believe in crafting websites is a collaborative process - so we build them together with our clients. You know your business objectives, understand your audiences, and you need to live with your new website for years to come. It is therefore vital that you contribute to the development of your site and have a real sense of ownership over the final product.
So, if you choose to work with Tincan expect to roll up your sleeves and get involved. You will be contributing to the design process, producing wireframes with our team, helping to create and test information architectures and (with solid guidance) lead on producing content that works.
Return on investment
Your website is a critical business investment ... so it must perform well and deliver a meaningful return on investment.
In today's economic climate and complex economy, any website has to serve a purpose. Whether you're a venue, cultural organisation, charity or private company it's not enough to show a simple 'online presence'. As part of your overall business strategy your website needs clear, tangible goals.
So what are the goals for your website?
Maybe you need to increase online ticket sales or boost donation levels, support your existing membership with new opportunities and online features or boost subscription rates for new members, extend reach to new audiences or engage your existing audiences better, increase conversion rates of specific KPIs or improve internal efficiencies so you can spend more of your valuable time on your core activities (as opposed to having to remember how to make some text bold)? Realistically, you're likely to have several goals.
Well, whatever the goal and whatever the vision, we can help - we have over 10 years of relevant experience with willing minds and hearty banter to keep us moving along.
When we meet, we'll put your online presence under the microscope. We'll explore the role and performance of your website, and brainstorm every which way of making it work harder and better for you.
Then we'll pitch in, with as much (or as little) help as you need.
That could mean:
- Review, gain insight and recommend
- We work to get as much insight as possible, helping to define a clear role for the site
- We review your business goals and objectives
- Research your target audience (and competitors if relevant)
- Produce user personas to help ensure that different audience types would work with the site successfully
- Analyse your brand specifically in relation to the online environment
- Evaluate the project specification and schedule and ensure
We help you
- define your site architecture, content hierarchy and content strategy (via Sitemaps and Wireframes)
- create the visual design for the new website (OR work with your existing design agency to produce a beautiful, successful design)
- produce prototyped designs where wireframes and the visual layer merge into an approved design.
- Implementing the design through to the build stage
- We configure the relevant features with the right CMS to match the agreed functionality of the new site
- Integrate and customise - whether sharing data from your ticketing system, GoogleMaps, social network of choice (such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, AudioBoo), commenting platforms (such as Disqus) or ECMs we know how to make the evil inside work work for you
- Produce a frameworked site ready for population
- Guide you in collating content and populating the new site
Effective Controls
- We produce, agree and manage an effective Project Plan
- Schedule and manage all relevant Project Milestones
- Provide relevant Training
- Conduct pre-launch testing and flightcheck
- Launch the new site
- Carry out a post-launch Review
- Measure success from project feedback internally and externally
Now, how about that chat?
Drop us a line ( ) or let's meet up for tea and cake. We'll bring along some hi-tech equipment (pens, pencils, pieces of paper, post-its and highlighters) and you'll bring all the essential organisational knowledge.

Hi guys, finally getting round to refitting the bent frames on my boat. Ordered the green oak and its concetrated my mind somewhat.
Sadly on closer inspection the carvel planks are giving out at about amidships, if thats the term or at the wide bit!.
Previous owners repair was to caulk the split. The rest of the planks are close fitted with no caulking, so whats best thing to do. Dont really want to bend new frames into an off shape hull. As you can see the frame has lost its full rounded shape and probably cracked at the bend.

HOUSTON (AP) — Halliburton Co. and KBR Inc. have withdrawn an appeal asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lawsuit by a former military contractor who says she was raped by KBR co-workers in Iraq.
KBR said in a statement Monday that it withdrew the appeal to not risk violating a recently passed federal provision restricting the Defense Department from doing business with companies that prohibit employees from seeking redress for certain crimes through the courts.
Jamie Leigh Jones, of Texas, sued the companies after she says she was raped while working for KBR in Baghdad in 2005. KBR and Halliburton split in 2007.
The companies argued that Jones' contract required claims against them be settled through arbitration. But a federal appeals court ruled that the case could go to trial.

Very cute coop! It arrived quickly and I was excited to put it together. It came in great condition, it smelled good, and was a cinch to build. The pieces fit well together, the metal is strong and the wood is lightweight. The sliding poop tray is easy to remove and clean up (we use sand in ours, it makes it very easy to clean up with a kitty litter scoop and also keeps it cooler in our hot weather. The coop has primer already applied so painting it was a snap (I still did 3 coats, but probably could have gotten away with 2). We needed to cut about 2.5 inches of the right side of the run and the roof to make it fit in the space we allotted. It was easy to disassemble the preassembled sides, cut them to our needed length, and then reassemble. The coop area is very small. We have 3 hens and that's good because this coop would probably only fit 2 comfortably and 3 hens cozily, not 4 like is advertised for sure! Our hens are free ranging throughout the day and will only be in the coop to sleep. If they are going to be in there for any more time than that then the coop is way too small. The nesting box takes up 1/4 of the floor so I did not put it in the coop, I am going to make a separate nesting box outside of the coop. I added in a roosting bar that spans the length of the coop using a 2x4 and 4x4 bracket holders so that the roost would be removable to clean or replace. The included bar (really just the handle of the nesting box) is too small, sharp-edged, and really is lousy since it is only big enough for 1 hen to use at a time! The "run" is very short height-wise under the coop and will not due for chickens to stay penned into all day, but it does keep the coop elevated which will help deter insects and mites. We added the scalloped trim to the roof and I painted the "x" on the door to make it look like a mini barn. All in all I am pleased with the coop, but would strongly recommend getting a much larger model for anything over 3 hens, and would not recommend keeping them in this small space longer than overnight. Cheers!

It was delivered quickly, and very easy to assemble but there are some serious design flaws in this product. There is no door on the entry to the nesting section, so there is no protection from invading predators at night, and no protection from our sub-zero frigid temperatures. I had to rig up my own way of installing a door. Also the description says it has one roosting bar. However what is considered a roosting bar is actually the top slat of the nest box, which is impossible for them to roost on as it is up against the wall, and even if you put it in the center of the nesting area, which would leave no room for anything else, it would hold only one bird, would easily tip over when a birds landed on it, and they would be pooping directly into the nest box itself. I also had to improvise and build an actual roosting bar inside for them as it is very important for them to be able to roost at night. Also the access door into the nesting section is extremly small and inadequate, so it makes catching a bird, finding eggs and reaching them, or cleaning almost impossible. It needs roof acces like some of the other coops have. I actually had to leave the small part of the roof unattached so I could lift it off to obtain adequate access to the nesting area. If the design were improved it would be a great coop for a few birds.

What's the Most Important Invention?
Way back in 1999, members of a brain trust called The Edge debated a fascinating question: What is the most important invention in the past 2,000 years? Some of the answers (much like the design of the archived discussion site) are dated now. Aspects of computer programming and artificial intelligence that seemed urgent and immortal at the time, such as public key cryptosystems or universal Turing machines, don't hold up so well. But I find myself returning to this question again and again—it's a great geeky conversation starter—and thinking about the merits of the various nominees and trying to come up with new ones. There was quite a range: calculus, the printing press, the steam engine, Gödel's incompleteness theorem (yes, some of the discussants were just showing off), reading glasses, the contraceptive pill.
My favorite new nominee for a world-changing invention comes from Hans Rosling, the rock star of TED Talks. He's a global health expert at the Karolinska Institute who uses data to dispute myths about the developing world. I think he makes a compelling case that the washing machine has been a force for human advancement and will be even more of one, if not not for the next 2,000 years, at least for the foreseeable global future.
I still think it's hard to beat the birth control pill. But what do you think is the most important invention of the past 2011 years?

I would nominate the Internet. Not only is it bringing the concepts of free minds and free markets to all the people of the world, it has almost completely removed x-rated theaters and bookstores from our cities and towns.
I've got to nominate public works like sewers and sanitation. Think of the lives saved from E coli, cholera, mosquitos and other nasty sicknesses caused by concentrations of people living together. Refridgeration should probably be up there too!
Light bulb – without which graduate students and post-docs would be unable to work 24-7 shifts to produce the data used for the innovations and our creature comforts
i think electricity should be right top
I definitely think the birth control pill is the most definitive invention of the past 2000 years. It has freed one half of the human race from the inevitability of childbearing by necessity. Children must be wanted and cherished.
A close second is the comprehension of the causes of disease, if you can call that an invention: i.e. inoculation against smallpox, diptheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps and we are even getting close to a vaccine against AIDS.
