Is IronErlang (or Erlang.NET) a Good Idea?
I am kind of between projects right now so I am wondering what I should do next. I really like functional programming, and in particular languages like Erlang, Haskell and F#. So I started to wonder if I should make an Erlang compiler for the .NET runtime.
I like Erlang for a number of reasons: It is simple, it is a functional programming language, the language is designed around the actor-model for interprocess (Erlang processes that is) communication, a system written in Erlang is very robust, and creating computing clusters and high-availability servers is almost too easy.
So if I am about to start making an implementation of Erlang for the .NET platform there are a few obstacles and questions that needs to be addressed first:

That Extra Little Lift
Willard Custer's Channel Wing looked like a mistake. Turns out his critics were the ones who were wrong.
- By Tim Wright
- Air & Space magazine, May 2007
Tim Wright
If Bob Englar is correct, he may be well positioned to breathe new life into an airplane design long abandoned as dead. "Good aero ideas recycle," says the engineer from his laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Institute in Atlanta.
Englar is applying decades of his own research to an aeronautical oddity that hasn't always been recognized as a good idea: the Custer Channel Wing. The channel wing, which takes its name from the semicircular trough each wing forms below the engine, is a 1940s design that didn't get past a prototype. But the channels, which seem out of place, if not freakish, in an airplane's wing, generate high levels of lift, and that opens up all sorts of design possibilities.
Englar is combining the concept with other techniques to generate the extreme lift needed to raise a C-130-size transport off a 60-foot runway, or keep a futuristic personal air vehicle hovering above a suburban driveway. NASA funded his studies from a small program investigating novel ways to make aircraft more efficient.
Building deep channels into the wings of aircraft, dropping like twin smiles under the propellers, was the idea of Maryland inventor Willard Custer. Custer's insight was that the amount of lift generated can depend on the speed of air over the wing, not, as had been thought, solely the speed of the wing moving through the air.
"The beauty of the Custer Channel Wing is that we can generate lift at zero forward speed by using the engines to provide airflow," says Dennis Bushnell of NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, who is the primary force behind the research. "What you need is relative motion."
In addition, the shape of the channel deflects propeller thrust downward, as much as 26 degrees. With this extra lift, an aircraft with a channel wing is quickly airborne once it begins rolling and is able to maintain control at very slow speeds. Custer envisioned airplanes that could take off or land almost vertically, making him an early prophet of short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft.
The trouble with being a prophet is that people don't always listen. In 1943, Custer's first aircraft, the CCW-1, demonstrated STOL ability to the U.S. Army with a flight in Maryland. Despite interest by the media and some aircraft manufacturers, the CCW-1 was ultimately deemed impractical because it couldn't maintain control if it were to lose one engine and because it required an extreme nose-up attitude to land

I had the good fortune of being the first President of
New York's Finest Investments. We were initially a small
group of 20 NYC Police Officers that had formed an Invest-
ment Club. One of the fellows spotted a Byline entitled
" Custer's Last Stand ". The story was re: the CCW and it's perfomance. At the time our country was seeking a VTOL or STOL. The CCW, appeared to be it. We bought the stock, as
individuals,as well as a Club. We paid 1/4,3/8, 1/2 ,5/8,
3/4 & @ $1, a share. We all had "tons" (especially the Club). The stock rose to $4 or so and we all took profits.
The CCW was never certified and ventually the stock was
suspended. About the time the stock was suspended, I called
Mr. Custer,in Hagerstown, Md. He was a " sweetheart of an
old Man ". He advised me that someone had infiltrated his
organization and moved his prototypes to somewhere called
Enid, Oklahoma. I told him that we had been advised who
the culprit was. He said, that it made sense.

It is amazing that this idea did not catch on. I would like to know more about it. what would be some other good sources?
Posted by David Axley on October 28,2009 | 09:39 AM
I'm doing a project on planes. later in class we will be building planes out foam and different material's. my question is if i add extra lift and thrust will the plane fly better? EDITORS' REPLY: Hard to tell, since it depends on the kinds of materials and where they are used, the relative sizes of the components, and other factors. It might fly better under some circumstances and worse under others. Try it and let us know how it works.

So what is an original 1940 "National Aircraft Corporation" capital stock, 1 share, $100 par value that was never sold or transferred and signed in ink by "W.R. Custer" worth? Thanks.
Posted by Doug Sipes on January 10,2010 | 09:03 PM
Thanks for the article(s). I thought I was the only one in the world who remembered Custer's Channel-wing aircraft. I remember a demonstration where one version was tethered, and lifted vertically against the tether. Can this test be located? Or can it be replicated? Thanks, again.
Posted by Bob Spainhower on January 21,2010 | 10:00 AM
I did some wind tunnel work for Custer in 1970 at the Univ. of Oklahoma and he brought the CCW-5 to Norman, OK where I saw it do several takeoffs and landings. It baffles me why no one hasn't built an aircraft using the design, especially now that the patents have all run out. Maybe another case of the "Not Invented Here" syndrome that plagues engineering departments.
I see a similar thing happening with the Burnelli designs. Boeing now calls it the "Blended Wing".

If you're like me, you've got what feels like 60 bazillion things going on at the same time. Trying to sync text documents, digital photos, and bookmarked Web pages (as well as applications and their settings) for when I travel or work from home can be like catching water with a sieve.
Thankfully, there's a wide range of remote access programs out there. Some are free, most cost money, and choosing the right one can be a bit of a pain, so we're going to bring the world of remote access a bit closer to home, just in time for the season.

Up at the top of the West Ridge, this route has nice position. The first pitch is easy 5.9, then comes a nice crux. It is very technical, but not sustained, a 3-move sequence with a big gravity bill waiting for anyone who doesn't keep their eyes and mind wide open. It seems a little harder than some area 5.11a's, but again, the crux is short.
The pro solid for someone of average height. The crux is a bomber small-medium (#6BD) nut placement above the head that is at the feet when the crux is completed. Take a normal rack with 2 big-hand-sized cams for the jams getting up to the crux.
I did this climb this morning. This 2 star route is a good choice for an aspiring 11- leader. The crux is not too long, not too hard and not too generic. Also, as the reviewer stated, the gear is bomber. All the pitches are short and the belay ledges are nice. It is possible to rap from some fixed slings at the top of P2 (it wouldn't hurt for someone to replace 1 of them), but the 3rd pitch is worth doing and the walk-off is very easy. For P3, basically head slightly left, then up to the crack.
On Cinco De Mayo 2003 there was a good fixed nut at the crux.
The first pitch is quite nice. The second pitch is an overrated one move wonder. That said, in view of the excellent pro throughout, this would be a good canidate for a first Eldo "11" lead. Crux is brief and awkward. May be easier for those closer to the ground.
Very fun 5.9 climbing to a short crux. Physical jamming to a hard move. I agree with Tony... there are definitely easier 11a's at Eldo.
There is a new fixed nut at the crux. My partner logged a little air time. Next time, I will bring only a #3 and #3.5 Camalot for the wide crack. The 3.5 fits in a pod at the end of the wide crack.
Fixed nut is no longer there, it came out easily with the poke of a nut tool.
There is currently a microwave sized very loose block on the belay ledge beneath the crux. It seems the whole ledge has recently undergone some erosion that has loosened up the block. If someone can safley trundle it, it would be good public service. If you are climbing the first pitch, be really careful when you get to the ledge
Challenging and difficult. (2) #3 Camalots under the crux, a blue Alien at the crux.
Agreed with above. A good route for someone looking to break into 11s at Eldo. Short technical crux which isn't powerful, just sequency with good gear.
One more gear option at the crux: a little red C3. I can attest to the fact that this placement will hold 185 downward-bound pounds. Agreed that it's good for the aspiring 11- leader in that the gear is so solid at the short crux.
+1 on Guy H's beta. I like using an old style 3.5 cam in the pod at the end of the crack. It's a tight fit but a new #4 C4 also works in the same place.
I've done this one a few times, and something interesting that I noticed - if the sun is shining on it, for some reason I have a harder time seeing certain holds (like the important ones...). Kind of weird. Agree with those above who recommend for an entry level 11 at Eldo, as the protection is very good.
Gets my vote for the softest 11 at Eldo....
I'm surprised that this climb doesn't get more stars. All of the rock is really good. It is short though. The crux was really straightforward for me, not awkward at all. I climbed the upper crack straight in with both feet in the crack. Anchor up top is in good shape.
My first 11a lead in Eldo...seemed like a good place to start. Did pitches 1/2 together and was able to rappel with a 60m rope from the top of pitch 2, just after the crux. I placed a 3 and a 3.5 in the top of the wide crack just below where the crack disappears. Then I pulled up and used a face hold to the left and then right before swinging my feet up an over to the right. My partner thought I might be off route. Any comments?

Shame on You for that ridiculous apology, and honestly What a bunch of Garbage! Who Cares why they were called to the house, or by whom! It's plain as day there were NO Exigent Circumstances requiring Police to breakdown the door. They Issued UNLAWFUL commands to these homeowners, and BURGLARIZED their home and ASSAULTED them when the Owners refused to comply with the commands. Police have no authority to come onto private property without a Warrant or Emergency/Exigent Circumstances. Neither of those conditions were met. These criminals with Badges should be in Federal Prison for civil rights violations.... since we know the Sheriff is too much of a Coward to charge them as they should be!
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is heading to Capitol Hill , where he's expected to be grilled over the Justice Department's decision to secretly seize the work, home and cellphone records used by almost a hundred reporters and editors at the Associated Press. On Tuesday, Holder defended the move as a necessary step in a criminal probe of leaks of classified information.
The use of the Espionage Act, to essentially silence whistleblowers within the government—Kiriakou, Drake and others, although Kiriakou went to jail on—pled out on another charge—the FISA Amendment Act, which allows for warrantless wiretapping, the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows for the stripping of American citizens of due process and indefinite detention. And it is one more assault in a long series of assault against freedom of information and freedom of the press.
And I would also, of course, throw in the persecution of Julian Assange at WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning as part of that process all of these measures to essentially shut down the freedom of information, as symptomatic of a reconfiguration of our society into a totalitarian security and surveillance state. One where anyone who challenges the official narrative, who digs out cases of torture, war crimes—which is, of course, what Manning and Assange presented to the American public—is going to be ruthlessly silenced.
Ted Rudow III
In a situation like this it is perfectly acceptable for the police to enter the residence; the phone call about the domestic disturbance provides exigent circumstances. The police acted under the suspicion of further potential harm to either the children or one of the spouses. They can't just take the word of the wife who is locked in a house with a man who may pose a threat to her and refuses to talk to the police. In a situation like this if the police were to leave without even talking face to face with the suspects and then the dispute led to a murder it would be a huge failure and the department would still be blamed for not stoping it.
The reality of policing is that the police can do what ever they want, warrant's do discourage police misconduct but they mainly serve to protect evidence which in this case is irrelevant. The police were responding to exigent circumstances, not seeking to search the house for evidence. The police know that they can't just bust down a door and search a house. By not complying the resident gave the police the lawful right to search the area incident to arrest.
Had the resident complied there would be little grounds for arrest, forced entry, or any search of the residence. That being said from what is visible in the video it doesn't appear that there was reason to tase the resident but as long as the officer can articulate his reasoning it's justifiable.
@leha, to get this straight is actually easy: if the police have suspicions about illegal activity, they obtain the warrant. This should have happened in Cleveland, and this should have happened in this case. However, the judge usually only issues the warrant when there's enough evidence for the entry. A single call is not nearly enough, i.e. in this case if the police followed the law, not only they wouldn't be able to enter without the warrant, but, assuming that the call was all they had, they wouldn't obtain the warrant as well - in which case they have to leave. In Cleveland, a single call wouldn't be enough either, but when the number of tips and suspicions accumulated, the warrant would be issued. This is how it's supposed to work in civilized society, and this is how it has been working for many decades in our country.
Not only the officers won't be charged with anything, but from the comments so far made by Parish, they will be rewarded. Contrary to numerous rulings of the Supreme Court, Parish claims that the call from 3rd party is already the exigent circumstance, and no warrant is required. I.e. all it takes for the police to break into your home, is somebody's word that violence _might_ be going on inside.
Note that the crime the occupants were arrested for was not anything related to the violence. It was obstruction, i.e. from the police's standpoint, not cooperating with their investigation (by not coming out or opening the door) is a crime by itself. Equally, the taser was used as punishment for non-compliance, i.e. for refusing to lay on the ground.
Don't you feel somewhat obliged, as a "journalist", to investigate and explain the overlap in the "most likely" and "least likely" lists; ie "surgeon" vs "doctor"?
Wow, what is going on there, I certainly hope those police get appropriate action against them for inappropriate behavior....fire them.....they work for us....
are we to be frightened of the people who are working to protect us.....at least are suppose to be....
Seems like police want it both ways: in this case, they had to enter because the safety of the parties inside demanded it. In the case of the three girls who were held captive for ten years, police were required to ignore the calls to help them, because they didn't have a warrant. I sure would like to get this straight...
We're always told that the taser is an alternative to deadly force: There was nothing in this even that warranted the use of firearms, so clearly it's not considered an alternative to deadly force by the police officers carrying it.
To Parish's "not to cooperate with law enforcement." comment, it sure seems to me that someone kicking down my door without a warrant or probable cause is not involved in law enforcement. Unless there were some amazing mitigating circumstances, I hope the officer who came through that door is charged with a felony that adequately captures violently breaking into an occupied home with the intent of harming the inhabitants.
fantastic, i live in Santa Rosa, and hubby and I love this place, such a landmark....much gratitude Zach~thank you!
I remember every single one of those performances. I loved that show and dreamed of being on it. My fave was someone who went on performing Taco's "Puttin' on the Ritz" and I was so confused as to whether it was the real Taco.
That is fantastic. Love that place. Now keep that money in an ultra-safe place till it's ready to be spent (for all I know it already has been)!
This Open Mike piece is shoddy, fact-challenged bloviating.
1. DHS did not "... search people's homes". The search was conducted by Watertown Police, Boston Police, and the FBI.
2. Nowhere does any reporting state that "some guy went out for a smoke". The accounts state a couple went outside for fresh air, when the husband discovered tarp lines had been cut.
3. Colleen McMahon did NOT rule that American citizens can be executed. She ruled narrowly in the Al-Awlaki case that the government could not be compelled to publish its justification for killing Al-Awlaki in Yemen.
4. Likewise, the Supreme Court has not ruled on domestic drone.
5. That "one terrorist for every 50 civilians" trope was from a single Pakistani 2009 report that had internal political motivation. Nowhere else has this claim been made, except in reports citing the original.
Myers is entitled to his OPINIONS, however baseless, but no amount of conspiracy paranoia entitles him to his own "facts".
A great big thank you to Zach. And an even bigger thank you to the local community who made this campaign a success through their volunteer hours, donations and love of the Rio Theater.
Very nice to hear the theater will be "saved". It would be even more far reaching if someone revitalized the rest of Monte Rio which hasn't seen any reinvention in the last 50 years!
He's obviously never been in the building or he wouldn't have bothered
Love that theater! That's where I had my very first kiss over like 25 years ago! Cocktail was the movie playing at the time! Lol! So glad it is being saved!!
Darius Anderson, in my opinion, uses the newspapers as advomercials to promote himself and boost his ego, or promote his personal financial interests. The Editors of these papers argue till they are red in the face that they are in control of the editorial content and Darius doesn't influence their converage, but any person of reasonable intelligence when reading these stories, can see right through those statements. Whether the editorial staff has blindly drank the Kool-Aid so long they aren't consciously making editorial decisions, or Darius hands them a memo (or Falk/Hooper) and says "here, run this" one cannot tell.
The Kings Sacramento articles have nothing to do with Sonoma County except that it boosts Darius' ego so he thinks.
The Chateau Sonoma hotel Darius proposes is news in Sonoma but the way Bolling covers the stories in the Index Tribune is an advomercial and they are biased for the success of the project. Both Lynch and Bolling have ownership stakes in the paper and Darius is betting on the completion of the hotel so if the hotel project fails, not only Darius but also Lynch and Bolling will be harmed financially so the inherent conflict of interest is for them not to write anything negative, with hold Letters to the Editor that are not positive, and undermine any offort they do make at covering a balanced approach. Anything covered is countered by negative slams throughout the article so their bias comes out everytime.
Thats OK, the people of Sonoma see right through these efforts and the values of these newspapers is dropping like flies. They are embarrassing Sonoma and themselves but they've sold out so badly anyway, it doesn't matter to them any more.
Great. I grew up going to the Rio. My Grandma and Grandpa owned Stella's Pastry Shop in Monte Rio for 15 years. The building was right next to Bartlett's Store.
I walk by the Rio EVERYDAY with my kid. The theatre is also the cover of my wedding album. This means so much to our community and my family. Words can't even express my appreciation. Tears of joy- right here. Thanks EVERYONE who helped. What an impact on our little community!

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 2, 2011 Buyers and Sellers Not Enough for Penner?
by Corey Pronman
Displaying pretext
At the eleventh hour of trade deadline day, the Los Angeles Kings acquired winger Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defense prospect Colton Teubert, their first round pick in 2011 and a conditional 2012 second round pick. The acquisition of Penner gave the Kings a much-needed scoring boost while dealing from an area of strength in regards to their defensive prospect depth. They also extended forward Justin Williamswho has become a solid contributor for LAto a four year contract.
Los Angeles is currently a below-average team offensively, ranking 18th in the NHL in goals for per game and 21st in shots for per game. While those numbers are somewhat influenced by playing in the very competitive Pacific division, for a team looking to make a run in the postseason the Kings definitely weren't at a high-end enough level offensively to stand pat and be satisfied with their scoring punch. While Dustin Penner isn't a top-tier talent, he is a legit top-six forward and one who can contribute in counting numbers, as well as provide physical contribution. His even-strength Corsi Rel QoC has been middling over the last two years with offensive zone starts taken into the equation but he is known as a player who's been a key driver of Edmonton's offense. He has consistently been harped on for his cap hit of $4.25 million despite the fact for the most part his underlying numbers have been very good during his tenure in Edmonton .
The Kings extension of Justin Williams was a gamble on a player who has missed a ton of games due to injuries over the past couple of seasons even if the cap hit is only $3.65 million for four years and will take Williams through his age 30-33 seasons. The health issue is a concern for a guy who relies a lot on the physical game to provide his value. When he was with Carolina, WIlliams showed that he could be a quality player when healthy, posting 15.9 GVT and 11.8 GVT totals; he is already over 10.0 GVT this season. The last two seasons, Williams' Corsi Rel QoC numbers have been average, but if he can continue to play how he has this season and in his best years in Carolina for the duration of the contract, it will end up being good value for Los Angeles if not great value. They were obviously getting a risk premium on the injury factor; if I were Kings management, I might have been inclined to take on more money for one less year on the contract, in case Williams goes into another lengthy stretch of missed action as he approaches the wrong side of age 30.
In regards to what they gave up, the Oilers would hope that in return for one of their best forwards they would get some significant future assets that could be key pieces to the rebuild. They did not. Colton Teubert is a decent prospect who fell to the bottom of the depth chart in a loaded Kings system filled with top-heavy defense prospects like Derek Forbort, Thomas Hickey and Vyacheslav Voynov. While Forbort is still a ways away, Hickey and Voynov are in the AHL and are knocking on the door of the big leagues. One contact of mine who's watched Manchester (L.A.'s American Hockey League affiliate) said that once those two improve on their physical game some more, they should be ready for the next level. This depth and talent on defense in their system gave Los Angeles the leeway to deal a lower ceiling prospect in Colton Teubert. Teubert is best known for his physical assets and scouts characterize his performance in the AHL as an "angry" style of play. Aside from his penchant for physicality, Teubert also moves at a fair level and can skate with an average player. His defensive game and overall hockey sense has made significant strides over the past few years, as there were spurts in his WHL tenure where that aspect of his game would look atrocious at times. While it isn't at an above-average level now, he has developed enough to where he can hold his own at the pro level, but without above-average skating he still needs more refinement before moving on to the NHL. Teubert's puck skills are well below-average and executing the basic passes are major accomplishments in his puck-moving repertoire. You're likely looking at a player with a ceiling as an average #4 defender, with a more likely projection as a #6 or #7 defender. He has the physical assets in his skating and frame to be a #2 if his defensive game jumps up several notches, if he becomes more selective in his physical game and if he becomes a little more reliable with the puck.

I'm definitely with you on this one Corey. I don't think Edmonton got decent return on Penner, who was the "driver of the bus" in Edmonton. The Oilers will miss him and really didn't get an NHL-ready player in return. This sets their rebuild back even further.
While he's an underrated even strength player (+0.92 ESTR in 2009-10, 32nd in NHL among players with more than 500 minutes ESTOI), I don't think the 28-year-old Penner is going to get much better than he already is (0.77 points per game last season was by far his career high), and it's not like he's underpaid. Sure, maybe you could have gotten more for him, but I wouldn't want to be the team signing his next contract. I say clear out the cap space and see if you can't find a better use for $4 million-plus in the offseason.
Timo, I disagree. We always say "find a better use for the money". Tell me: what forwards were available last summer who were better than Penner and signed for less than 4M? What about next summer? I just don't see it. Penner was overpaid 4 years ago, but NHL contracts have inflated 20% since then. Sure, I'd rather have Kesler at 5M$, but that's just not an option for either Edmonton or LA.

Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014
The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the new process for assessing research in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and is the successor to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) .
Management of the implementation of Cardiff's 2014 REF strategy will use established university processes with line-management through the university's normal channels, from Vice Chancellor to Heads of School, who are in turn responsible for the staff within their schools.
As with previous exercises, the co-ordination of the operational support for the REF submission will be managed through the Planning Division.
Preparation and implementation of the strategy will delegated to the REF sub-group of the University's Research Committee.The chair of the REF sub-group is Professor Hywel Thomas. The sub-group will recommend matters of policy to Research Committee and will also report directly to the Vice-Chancellor.
Further information for staff can be found at the following Cardiff Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 webpages.

Confused by all the alternatives
August 17, 2008, 08:13:20 am »
The more I tried to read and learn about media options, the more confused I'm becoming. I'd like to ask for some help restoring some clarity of thought in that regard.
I've recently bought my first large screen, HD lcd tv. It's a 46" Samsung 650. I previously had a 32 inch crt and a LG hdd / dvd recorder. When I bought the HD tv, I realised that the component video connection doesn't really cut the mustard. The DVD recorder only has analogue TV tuners as well, so it's time for an upgrade.
I started off looking at a direct upgrade of my current style of recorder, but they record to DVD's in SD unless you get a blu-ray recorder, but I've only seen these advertised at around $2500. You still have limited editing capabilities, which means copying it to disc and then to a PC before burning it again.
Then I discovered some of the HDD based PVR's. Some of these are network capable, which means I wouldn't have to copy stuff twice. Many of them have dual HD DVB-T tuners which would be nice. The drawback there is that I'd need a separate DVD or DVD / Blu-ray player.
Yesterday morning, I learned of XP / Vista MCE and then last night, I learned of LinuxMCE. As a result, I'm reaching information overload. The worst part is that I don't actually know anyone who uses any one of these systems, so I can't even start to ask for first hand experience.
I think I'd like to go down the LinuxMCE path. I tried converting my Windows laptop to Linux a year or so ago. I liked it, but couldn't get the wireless network card to work reliably, so regrettably, I had to change back. I saw a YouTube video showing Linux MCE controlling a surround sound and lighting. I doubt that my hardware is capable of that. It's very cheap. I only bought it because I didn't know why people made such a fuss about them, so I bought a real cheapie. It gave me a bit of an idea, and I'll likely spend a bit more one one one day.
I do want to connect my satellite pay tv tuner to it. It only has composite output and S-VHS, although knowing my pay tv provider, the S-VHS has probably been disabled.
Does it sound like LinuxMCE is a overkill for what I want to do? I've read some posts where people say it takes a bit of tweaking. That's fine to a point, but after tweaking, I want non-computer literate people people to be able to operate it easily.
Many of the TV cards I've seen recommended for XP/Vista MCE say that they're designed to run with XP/Vista MCE. Does that mean that they won't run at all, or as well in LinuxMCE? I'm just talking generally here. I don't have any specific hardware in mind as I haven't chosen the path I want to take yet.
Many people talk about the need for HDMI connections. Can you get those with HTPC setups as well? My current, el-cheapo surround sound doesn't have it anyway, but my TV does. The surround sound has optical and coax as composite connections. I'm not too worried about that side of it at the moment, although if replacing it meant not having to buy something which is dead technology and therefore of limited value, I'd consider doing that now.
Sorry for raving on. I'm just finding this all quite confusing. It's like learning a new language without hearing it spoken, and you don't even know what language it is. :-) Whatever I do, I just want to do it once.

It did ramble a bit, didn't it?! You ask if LMCE is overkill for what you want to do - but you don't really say much about what you want to do, just about what you have read and have got currently....
All I can see in terms of requirements from your post is connecting your sat pay-tv and being able to record shows, and you mention something about editing, but I'm not sure what you want to do there.
If all you want is a way of recording TV, then it probably is overkill. MythTV might be a better idea. However, if you are to try LMCE you will quickly develop more "requirements" once you can see what it does
You can certainly put DVB-S/T cards in a LMCE device and decode TV directly as long as your provider allows you to decode on things other than their own device. Or you can use an analogue capture card from your S-Video (assuming you meant that) or even composite.
HDMI/DVI is better, but not essential - if you have the option, use it, but don't spend a lot on the cables, there are a lot of rip offs out there!
The more you want to do, and the further you veer from the recommended hardware, the more tweaking you may have to do - but that is only in the setup, this doesn't mean normal users will see any of that. The interface is very simple and intuitive (and getting better all the time).
LMCE brings together a media player, security system, telephone system, home automation, etc all into one integrated package - there is no comparison with the Microsoft product, which is a media system only (and a pretty poor one at that).
As for your sound system, if it has an IR remote, then you can almost certainly control it through LMCE with a compatible IR blaster. There will either already be a template to control it with, or you can learn the remote commands yourself so that LMCE can change the volume, inputs, power, etc for you...

If all you're looking for is a media center setup that you can record and archive your satellite TV. Choose Windows Media Center...
If you want to learn l how to use Linux and eventually expand the system to include other functions them try LMCE but, understand this is not exactly plug and play.
Windows MCE -
Pros -Records TV - Archives Movies - Better plug and play hardware support - Stupid simple to setup
Cons -It will never let you have the freedom using Linux allows - Windows itself tends to be unstable - It costs money
Pros Records TV - Archives Movies -Controls your Security System - Home Automation - Controls your home network - Free
Cons - Somewhat sketchy hardware support - Some features are difficult to setup

people keep saying it's not plug and play
but guess what? if you use the hardware we recommend, it is.

Thanks for all the feedback.
colinjones, your psychic abilities are amazing. That's pretty much what I wanted to do.
I'd like to install one or more DVB-T HD cards and possibly a DVB-S card. The DVB-S card option isn't actually permitted by my pay-tv provider, but I've read of some doing it. If that doesn't work then it looks like I could use a composite output from the existing pay-tv box and control it with the IR blaster mentioned.
I thought if I'd gone the Windows MCE path, I'd be able to use a licence for Windows XP which I have, but I see from the MS website that it's a whole different version of Windows, not an add on programme.
I've always wanted to learn about Linux, so I'm thinking I'll give Linux MCE a go. Now all I need to do is decide on hardware. :-)

As I've read a bit more, I see that LinuxMCE wants to be the router. I have a combined modem / router / VOIP ATA. Will I need to replace these in order to use Linux MCE?

You don't need to replace your existing router, but it makes things easier for a couple of things. I am using an external router and it works.
HOWEVER, LinuxMCE MUST be your DHCP server for all the things it needs to control, and you MUST have two network cards for LinuxMCE being capable to control devices on the network.
If I helped you, feel free to buy me a coffee:

Sounds good - that's all possible. Do your hardware research well, on the wiki but also here, and in people's signatures. And really read the install instructions well. So many people make elementary errors that screw them up and tie them in knots that could easily have been avoided if they had followed the instructions (rather than the rush of blood after watching the videos!)
And on the router issue, no I would recommend you keep your router/modem - it services your existing home network and anything you decide to keep on it, and keeps it a nice simple routed environment. Just be careful that you don't get confused by lax terminology on this point - often you will see your broadband router referred to as "router" and other times people are actually referring to the DCE Router as "router".
The DCE router is actually one of the software modules on an LMCE core/hybrid machine. It is a "message" router - in other words it is the hub of communication between all of the other LMCE components. Most of the code in LMCE is implemented in discrete chunks known as Devices. They cover everything from the Xine software used for replaying audio and video, Asterisk for telephony, the security and home automation modules, and even the on screen Orbiter (the graphical remote control system). So talking about the DCE router means to talk about how the guts of LMCE talks to itself and achieves what it does, whereas talking about a broadband router is just about networking and access to the Internet.
Some people also use additional routers on their network for various networking reasons that are neither to do with Internet access nor how LMCE works.

Give LMCE a try, I started on Win MCE and then moved on to LMCE because of the vast amount of extra things it can do over Win MCE. I just need to upgrade my wife now because she firstly prefers the look of Win MCE (no taste!) and secondly feels like a widow because I am forever adding extra things to it
- Media Directors, PDA orbiters, remotes and RF mice, control of my reciever and TV, VOIP, security cameras, X10 lighting - pleasure land for the tinkerer!!
Seriously though, the basic system can be up and running very quickly especially, like Thom says, if you stick to recommended hardware. I just used old stuff I had knocking around and then tinkered with it!!

Hi weegraeme,
I see you are from Oz. I am from NZ and found that my DVB-S card (a SkyStar 2 from TechniSat) was not detected and set up automatically by lmce. I wanted to connect to the New Zealand Freeview satellite service.
The following link helped me do the setup manually using the Myth backend which is available on the orbiter menu under "Computing" "Myth TV Setup".
This link wont be exactly what you want because it is specific to my card and the NZ Freeview service but it may give you some hints if you have trouble getting a TV signal.
I get the feeling that lmce is perfect if you live in the US where the cable services etc have been loaded but for us down here there may be more to setup.
(Perhaps ColinJones could give us some pointers here).
My next challenge is to see if I can automate my lights using Z-Wave. But I have been told that the standard Z-Wave frequencies are allocated to the military over here.
(It may be fun to get control of a guided missile with my lmce dimmer control

hmmm... its all DVB (same as EU and most of the rest of the world use), so you still have to "tune" the stations, beyond that its much the same. Don't get confused with encrypted services - that's the same everywhere. If the provider lets you decrypt with your own hardware (or you can crack it) then away you go, otherwise analogue capture is the only way - that doesn't vary with geography...
Sure in some areas, hardware is more limited in A/NZ - and in particular there is a dearth of HA stuff in both countries. There is no ZWave for either yet, nor Insteon. ZWave is more globally widespread, with plenty of stuff for EU. However, remember although having EU versions means 230v/50Hz (also which covers most of the rest of the world), the socket types make it ugly, and RF as you say.
There were new frequencies allocated for A/NZ some time ago to cover ZWave, but they are not the same as EU or NA, so that means different versions beyond just power sockets. ACT are interested, but need a partner here (I have asked Smarthome, but no reply yet!) I doubt very much the 900MHz ISM band is being used for military applications though, it is unlicenced but only in NA, Australia and Israel (Region 2), so doesn't cover NZ - however the registered frequency for ZWave in A/NZ is in this range anyway (921MHz), so any product for AU would be legal in NZ as well.... now just to get someone to build them!

Yesterday's announcement that it is effectively becoming a platform may be the most important yet in the short history of social gaming juggernaut Zynga.
Although it's a billion dollar company, Zynga owes much of its success to another platform - Facebook.

Facebook may be the world's dominant social network, but a number of high-profile investors are betting that there's room for platform players in the space.
Backplane describes itself as a "start-up uniting people around interests, affinities and movements", but it's best-known for running Lady Gaga's LittleMonsters.com, which is in private beta.

How can you make the most of the power of platform economics to drive success? Learn what to look for in a platform.
Last month, I wrote about my unfortunate experience with Facebook, which took it upon itself to broadcast my entire Spotify listening experience to the world, seemingly without my knowledge or permission.
This aggravated me to the point of proclaiming, quite publicly, that I was going to "commit Facebook suicide" and end my relationship with the social media behemoth. It turns out that is easier said than done.

One of Facebook's biggest assets is the open platform it has built which enables developers to build apps that Facebook users can install and use while logged in to the social network.
Today, that platform not only helps Facebook generate billions in revenue, it has served as the foundation for other billion-dollar businesses, like social gaming giant Zynga.
So it's no surprise that another prominent consumer internet upstart, Spotify, is looking to Facebook and launching its own platform.

The Google Maps API is probably one of the most popular APIs out there, and it's not hard to understand why. There are countless applications to which mapping functionality can be applied.
For developers and businesses looking for powerful mapping functionality, the free Google Maps API has been a godsend. But earlier this year, Google announced that it would be implementing usage limits for the Maps API, and on Wednesday, it followed through.

Will the future of mobile apps be controlled by native apps, or web apps? Or will both share the spotlight?
Today, there's little doubt that native apps are winning the hearts and minds of consumers and developers alike. And for good reason: if you want a great experience that takes full advantage of the capabilities of today's most advanced mobile phones, you need a native app.

Google+ may represent the biggest threat Facebook has ever faced since it launched more than half a decade ago. But is Google's new social network, which may be off to the fastest start ever for a social network, already buckling underneath the surface?
Despite the fact that Google may have finally built a social network capable of competing in the market, cracks are showing which raise doubts about Google+'s future prospects.

The IPO market is alive! From Yandex to LinkedIn, some of the most prominent consumer internet companies in recent memory have gone public recently, and more are on the way.
One of the most intriguing filed to go public late last week. Zynga, the social gaming juggernaut which is responsible for modern-day hits like Farmville, plans to raise $1bn.

2006. Daniel Craig's first James Bond film was released, Steve Irwin died, Italy won the World Cup and "It's Chico Time" reached number one in the charts: A mixed year.

Twitter may be one of the most popular platforms on which developers and entrepreneurs are building applications, but in 2011, its relationship with developers has changed dramatically.
Last month, Twitter told developers that it should focus on developing tools that don't play a role in the core user experience for consumers. For the companies behind some of the most popular third party clients, the message was clear: thanks, but your services are no longer needed.

Table 45
Online Reservations
Menu offers many delicious vegan and vegetarian choices as well as a full menu of other wonderful food choices. Tried appetizers, salads, and a few entrees and they were all great! Highly recommend if you want to eat some really good food!
Chef Zach Bruell strikes again! Having followed him since Z Contembporary Cuisine at Eton twenty years ago or so(?), Chef Bruell has time and again designed carefully thought-out menus with authentic ingredients to give Cleveland the opportunity to dine apart from the normal menu choices at average restaurants. Table 45 gives homage to his special table "45" at Parallax, where attention and service is superlative. I think that the entire Table 45 has a chance at achieving this level of service, if the evening staff is as good as the lunch crew. We were charmed to have a relaxing lunch in a spacious, open and bright room, with doting service! I will surely return, and was pleased to be informed of the happy hour also! Thank you!
The most impressive part of our visit was the table they gave us. Since we were catching up with friends that we hadn't seen in quite a while, we asked for a quiet, isolated table. They have a special table assigned for this purpose which is off in an alcove screen by a glass divider. It was almost as if we had entertained in our own dining room. Make no mistake, the food was great also....nothing at all was left on our plates. Thanks Open Table!
Everything was fabulous. This our Easter celebration special place every year. Thank you Sincerely, Joe
it's a shame that Table 45 only does brunch two times per year. Easter and Mother's Day, or maybe it's a good thing since all the food was so lucious. Anything you could possibly want is on the buffet menu and if you want to just chill and enjoy- the staff is wonderful. Never pushy but always there when you need them . Seriously, if you an swing it for these two holidays, go because it is the best brunch in town. well worth waiting for!
everything was great as it always is at Table 45. The Naan bread is phenomenal.
Food as always was great, the Walleye was great! It seemed a little noisy, staff were attentive but not over our shoulders. Deserts were very nice and made on premises!
Our first visit to Table 45 since it first opened, and it did not disappoint. The menu is extremely varied, with something for all tastes. The food is first rate, with everything very well prepared and delicious. Zach's chicken with frites is excellent, and the pork dish was wonderful. The noise level was extremely high due to several large groups with small children who ran around the restaurant most of the evening. The decor is minimal to the point of austere, and it appears to need some refreshing. My seat was probably the worst in the place. The restaurant seems to be the hotel's "everything" spot, and there were people who were well dressed as well as those who looked as if they'd just rolled out of bed. Our server was great.
We had the private glass booth..very romantic. Service was great!
I chose this restaurant because we were meeting out-of-town friends and wanted a quiet place to catch up. Other reviewers recommended it for its quiet atmosphere, excellent food and the private table room so I thought we'd try it. I just requested a quiet table through Open Table and was delighted that we too were given the private table room. The menu was diverse and interesting but not "strange". (I had an amazing Asian slaw, red fish on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes followed by coconut sorbet) Everyone enjoyed delicious wines, entrees, desserts - really the whole experience - we'll be visiting Table 45 again soon.
Slow kitchen service tonight, but the waiter was good. The new menu was enjoyable too! For a Monday night this place was packed! Happy hour is always popular with sushi, but the restaurant had some big groups in it as well after an event ended in the hotel.
Great service, great food selections (vegetarian options available), and spacious seating arrangements to facilitate private conversations.
We were promptly seated upon arrival. Buffet was very big. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars is because, like buffets can be, some of the less popular items had been sitting in the steamers for a while and were a bit dry or over cooked. The cold / raw seafood offerings were a treat! Prime rib - real deal. Nice flavor! Made to order omelets with real lobster if you like were terrific. The real high-light was the deserts. Over the top, to die for chocolate themed deserts as well as others and the banana/nut-e-la crepes were amazing. Service was top notch!
I would have appreciated knowing in advance of arriving at the Mother's Day Brunch that parking charges would be credited. I parked in a distant surface lot that was serviced by an automated entrance and exit ticket machine that was not able to recognize the restaurant's stamp.
As vegetarians and pescetarians, we loved the menu. It was diverse enough for both of us to find something to eat, and yet satisfying enough that we felt full. We had the Green Tomato Gazpacho, which was delightful, with a little crunchiness, some yellow tail fin/salmon tuna, which was good,but I didn't care for it much (more about my tastes than the quality); an arugula/goat cheese salad with cashews which was fantastic and then a lasagne-noodle less lasagna, made with grilled vegetables, which was out of this world. Really really good food!
Solid overall experience. Food above average but not memorable.
Having dined at L;albatros several years ago, we wanted to go there,but no space was available...so we chose this as being associated with L'albatros. Food certainly was good...not to the standard of L'albatros but quite good...Young waiter was extremely attentive but very tentative in behavior. Delivering glasses required great effort. He wasn't fast but he did a good job. The slower service didn't bother us as we all had lots to talk about.. Overall a 4 star night.
A very good restaurant. Duck L'orange wasdelicious but came luke wearm.
We sat at the chefs table and watched the kitchen cook our meal from start to finish. It was great.
So many things on the menu looked amazing I can't wait to go back!
Wonderful place to enjoy a quiet, sophisticated meal while catching up with friends or simply having a special dinner for two.
Had dinner there several times, was not once disappointed in the experience. Great food!
Food and experience at Table 45 was excellent. I have travelling and working in Cleveland for over a year now. Slowly making it though various lists of the "best of CLE". Sometimes the places don't live up to the hype, but Table 45 is not like that. I had the lamb shoulder, which was cooked perfectly. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere and architecture of the restaurant is stunning. Highly recommended. 2-thumbs-up.
I usually go for dinner, but finally got here for lunch. There were more items on the menu than I remembered from last time that are designed after international street food (the red box items). I really loved the atlantic cod. It comes served in a bowl - so it is in broth, but the bowl is so full of veg that the fish is not submerged. I will order this again. As always loved the sorbet assortment for dessert - mint was great! And whoever mans this restaurant's Twitter account does a brilliant job connecting with guests that @mention them and making them feel heard.
It wasn't amazing food for the price but it was acceptable
After reading many of the reviews, we were wondering if we should cancel our dinner reservations, but we ended up enjoying ourselves. I would agree that the dining room has a cafeteria feel to it, but the food does not taste like cafeteria food. We had a wonderful server named William who was very attentive and made wonderful recommendations for our meals. I would agree, if you want a romantic dinner for a special occasion, this may not be the place to go. May be a better place for lunch.
We had one of our most special anniversary dinners at Table 45. I had requested a private table, if possible, and they delivered! Not only were we seated in an area that is enclosed and private, but they also brought special candles in to provide additional atmosphere. Several servers also mentioned our special occasion, wishing us a Happy Anniversary. It was a very special evening - not to mention the fabulous food, from start to finish! Thank you Table 45!
Mark and Eric waited on us outside....service was exceptional....food was good but nothing over the top!!
Variety is the spice and this place has lots of it! Love all the flavors & selections. Always fresh, always clean. Try the sushi - Eugene makes up some special fish & vegetarian pieces.
Great food great place to entertain and fine dining in relaxed atmosphere
I have been working for the Cleveland Clinic for a very long time and I always walk by Table 45 but never dined there. I decided to take my lady friend out to dinner on a friday night and I was VERY PLEASED from the time we walked in til the time we left, all thumbs up!! I will be returning...the food, oh my goodness was absolutely amazing!!
We had dinner at Table 45 with two other couples and those who had the sushi thought it was excellent; the lamb shoulder with naan was okay and I would not order it again; the chicken with pommes frites was rated by the person who had it as very good (not great). The biggest disappointment was the service - not the server, but the kitchen. It took forever for the appetizers and salads to come out and the dinner was not even close to being ready when the salads and appetizers were removed. The server was friendly and helpful, but she didn't have food that was ready to serve us. We sat down at 7:30 and did not have our main course served until after 9 p.m. If looking at this for possible pre-concert dinner - avoid it.
I have dined at this establishment several times and it is always a treat! Great menu, nice atmosphere. I particularly enjoy the happy hour menu which has a good selection of items at reasonable prices. Our waitress was interactive and pleasant. I'm sure I will be back to Table 45 again in the near future!
excellent food and service. Wonderful and varied selections.
Table 45 is always a much anticipated event. Our server, Mark, is always attentive and informative when questioned about any new items on the menu. The food is wonderfully presented and always flavorful and fresh. Whether it is a dinner for 2 or a party of 7, this is our restaurant of choice for great food and service.
Had a great lunch with excellent service. Staff were well prepared and the food was very good. Had sushi and dessert. In and out in less than an hour.
Food was great. Wine was not the same year as advertised and we were overcharged for the bottle. They did take care of it but the old "that's what the computer said" excuse is weak.
We dined on a Tuesday night and were told they have new chef and menu as of the previous Saturday. They seem to have it all down pat, prompt service and delicious entrees: salmon, and chicken two ways. Moist and flavorful. Great Caesar and an even better arugula with fruit/veggie slices. Goats milk cheesecake wasn't bad, not great either. Nice wine selection. Good value for all. Will go again next time we're in Cleveland.
The food and service were excellent. I ordered the bouillabaise and was disappointed in the size of the order of the portion but the flavor was wonderful. This is usually a seafood soup and there was barely any broth, just a few pieces of seafood. My companions ordered the box lunch and were very satisfied.
We two had a delicious and fresh dinner. Great ambience!
We had the special $33 meal of Restaurant Week and both our meals were wonderful. We had a problem that the waiter was not very attentive and never came back to get our bill. So we had to go to the bar to pay our bill since we had to leave to go to a show. It's very different form the Classics that was there before. It's more casual, very big and roomy.
Great food with great presentation! Easy valet parking. Quiet for an intimate dinner.
Excellent food and service. Dress was from fancy to jeans we were in between. Hotel ambience is fancy. Restaurant is a casual fancy look.
This is some of the best food and service in town and I appreciate the free parking for lunch
The meal was great but a bit pricey for a turkey dinner.
We had an amazing thanksgiving dinner. Our waitress was very attentive and had good recommendations and was very accomodating for my vegetarian preferences. The normal menu is awesome and they didnt disappoint with their thanksgiving 3 course meal. Tye only thing that's lacking is a bit of some color on the walls; some decorations.
Thanksgiving tradition for our family has been sushi for many years and I struggled to find something that was open on turkey day. We made a reservation at Table 45 but really didn't know what to expect re: quality. The reviews appeared to be pretty good (with the occasional negative one). The service was some of the best I have had in some time and the sushi was very fresh. My salmon and white tuna were very tasty and melt-in-your mouth. The chef had prepared a turkey sushi which my wife had. Turkey, sweet potato and a japanese style cranberry sauce...it was really good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
We went there for dinner with my husband, we really like the place. The bar is huge and the atmospher was nice, despite the football game fans that were yelling sometimes for a touchdown. The food was absolutely delicious, but the service was so so. Our waiter was very friendly but the people he was working with we're not very efficient. But good place for fine food definitely!
First time here at Table 45, and the only Zack Bruell restaurant I hadn't tried. It was worth the wait. For a hotel restaurant, it is excellent. The décor and ambience add to the special experience.
Our work team enjoyed our holiday gathering for dinner and from the time we walked in the service was friendly and inviting. The food, delicious as always.
