How to prepare your system and configure Windows so MediaPortal interfaces with your TV much like a commercial Set Top Box without annoying pop-ups, requests for passwords when you boot up, etc.
Preparing your system as outlined in this guide will optimize Windows for using MediaPortal on your HTPC . This will give you the best user experience when you are viewing your media and will make your HTPC behave like a Set Top Box rather than a computer connected to your TV.
Once you have completed preparing your system, you will be ready to move onto the next step: Installing MediaPortal
Like any software, MediaPortal has minimal system requirements in order to work. These system requirements can be found on our website under Products > MediaPortal > Requirements.
Before you start installing MP, there are a number of things you need to do to your basic Windows installation to get it ready. These are not all essential, but are recommended to get the best results:
On the TV Server or Single-Seat Installation, it is recommended to install Windows on a small partition, around 60-70 GB should be plenty depending on the number of extensions you install. You can also use this drive for your TV time-shifting files (the temporary video files that MediaPortal will generate when any of your clients are watching TV). A larger separate drive or partition is highly recommended to record your TV programs especially if you record a lot especially in HD format.
Note: MediaPortal skins, and many images are stored in the \ProgramData folder. Some images like fanart, can be quite large, or you may have many images if you have a lot of media files. Thus you may require a larger partition for Windows if you choose to install many skins, extensions, a lot of fanart, or have large media libraries.
Once you have installed Windows, make sure that you download and install all available updates from Windows Update.
You may wish to use the Update Control Extension to perform future Windows Updates within MediaPortal
Make sure that any system notifications e.g Windows Update, update software, virus scanner notifications are disabled or set to "gaming mode". This will prevent the annoying update reminders popping up while you are watching your favorite movie!
Ensure all your system drivers are up to date - see Driver Downloads for sources.
Ensure your Windows auto-play is set to do NOTHING when any media is inserted. This will stop you getting annoying behavior when you insert a CD/DVD/Blu-ray into your machine. To do this enter control /name Microsoft.AutoPlay into the Windows run utility (Win+R) and press enter. In the AutoPlay control panel untick Use AutoPlay for all media and devices then click Save.
You can setup MediaPortal to display autoplay options when you insert an optical disc if you wish.
Setup your system to auto-logon when Windows starts.
If you plan to use Task Scheduler to wake your PC and run some scheduled programs (e.g. to download EPG data from the internet, or defrag your system over-night), then Windows will require you set a password. and prompt you for a password every time it boots-up.
To configure your system to log on automatically,
Set your HTPC BIOS up so that the computer turns on automatically after the loss of power. This will mean that if you have a power cut while you are on holiday, the system will power up, then go back to standby/hibernate and be ready for your next scheduled recording.
If you are running a Client/Server setup, you will also need to make sure that your server BIOS permits Wake-On-Lan.
Make sure your media is stored in sensible locations. MP can catalog your media from many different locations, but it is best if you can group your media types together on the hard drive(s) before you start as it will make life much easier for you. If you need to arrange your music and associated CD art, then a separate tool is available to help: MPTagThat.
Live TV in MediaPortal is designed to work in a Client/Server mode. This means that it must have a valid network connection for it to work properly. Ideally this connection should be a wired network so it is available as soon as the HTPC wakes up. If you don't have a wired home network or you are installing MP on a PC connected wirelessly. then this guide will help you: MSLoopBack Device for SingleSeat Users
Make sure your system power-saving options are configured correctly. This is particularly important for your TV Server. You may wish to configure it so that the display turns off after 3 minutes at idle and the hard drives power down after 5 minutes at idle. You could also then set the system to go into standby after 5 minutes if required.
For the TV Client or Single-seat installations you will probably want to disable most power-saving options so the system is always ready. To configure Windows power-saving options go to Control Panel > Power Options.
You may also use the Power Scheduler plugin provided with MediaPortal to schedule power saving modes for both the TV-Server or Client. The PowerScheduler++ extension offers even more features.
In order for MP to play your files in all the different formats on your hard drive and removable media, it needs access to audio and video decoders.
As of v 1.3.0 or later,MediaPortal includes[ LAV Filters|https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/video-audio/lav-filters?lang=en] which will play most if not all media formats For information on how to configure the LAV filters see: LAV Configuration.
Warning : As of v 1.5.0 MediaPortal no longer officially supports Windows XP. You can still install MediaPortal 1.5.0 on Windows XP but you will get a warning during installation that it is not supported anymore.
For previous versions, MediaPortal is only supported on Windows XP 32-bit Edition with at least service pack 3.
Specific updates are required for XP as outlined on the Required Updates tab of MediaPortal > Requirements.
In particular, you will need to install some additional software and patches before installing MP.
This tutorial provides a basic overview of the most important points to consider when setting up Windows 7 as a base OS for MP. Detailed explanations of how to install and configure Windows 7 are available from a number of sources. Some examples are listed below.
Once you have prepared your system, you are ready to proceed to Installing MediaPortal

Alcohol and drug addicts found a home to wellness. That wellness gives you a lifetime of a rewarding life. Turn I Wish into I Will. Make a move, actions are better than words.
We know it's scared entering centers like rehabilitation centers, yet beneficial. Why? Because these might be the answers to all the intricacies your experiencing. There's no loss in trying. But if you enter rehab knowing that you are going to drink or use drugs again, you are wasting your money and everyone's time. Think through and decide, then you will see at the end of the story you, yourself will benefit these all. First of all, we already know what's best for us, what is right and wrong, yet we still continue to do wrongdoings that result in this mess we're having. Since the results are here we need to face it and seek for an answer, a cure then everything comes to place. As the saying told mistakes are proof that you're trying. Keep trying until you succeed.
Staying in the care of the centers can vary between maintaining goodness and conversion. Remember, goodness is a continuing process that requires long persistence and commitment. Your rehab program will make you a care plan to help you stay safe and it's best to stay here. Both groups and individual therapy sessions may include support for your family and friends, often anything that will help you to be calm and prevent back.

Richmond City Manager Bill Lindsay will keep his post until at least 2020 since his contract was renewed by the City Council on Tuesday night.
The 5-2 vote spotlighted the divisiveness surrounding the city manager, who has made marked improvements since he took office in 2005 but recently faced questions surrounding his fiscal management.
All of the City Councilmembers voted to extend the city manager's contract an additional four years except Councilmembers Vinay Pimplé and Nat Bates.
"I don't have anything personal against Bill,"Councilmember Pimplésaid at the start of his remarks. "Bill is extremely hard working and I appreciate that about him, but there are issues that make me feel really uncomfortable."
Among the issues Pimplé raised were the city manager's handling of the city's bonds and a general lack of transparency around his fiscal approach.
"I don't entirely hold Bill to blame, because, yes, I may consider this incompetent, but there are a lot of incompetent city managers around, too," Pimplé said.
Vice-Mayor Jael Myrick was more understanding of the city manager's track record. "We have a city manager who's imperfect," Myrick said. "But we have a city manager who's done, I think, on the whole…a very good job in the city."
Myrick urged his fellow councilmembers to vote unanimously in favor of renewing the city manager's contract to show support for Lindsay, a wish that went unfulfilled when two members dissented.
Along with Lindsay's four-year extension comes a six percent raise that he will receive in two percent portions contingent upon him reaching certain financial goals.
Achieving a structurally balanced budget without firing city employees, increasing reserves, and increasing the amount the city pays towards its pension obligations are among the achievements that will trigger Lindsay receiving portions of his six percent increase.

Veronica Keeton commented 2015-11-18 15:57:29 -0800I find this very interesting. It has been my understanding (as stated by one of the RPA bloc of four) that his contract would not be renewed in light of all the mismanagement in recent years. To say he is doing a good job with the City now, in its current fiscal crisis, is far fetched at best (although he may not be totally responsible). Therefore, I have two questions. 1) Why would he stay when the council rarely listens to him and consistently throws him under the bus, and 2) what magic card is he holding over the heads of the RPA bloc of four to renew his contract. Although I have nothing personally against the City Manager, this has the stink of corruption.

Unspoilt Beauty of the Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are an eclectic assortment of 18 volcanic rocks hundreds of miles from anywhere in the middle of the North Atlantic. Many people haven't heard of them. Others think they're in Egypt. So what are the Faroe Islands? And why should you go there? We spent a week finding out and over the next few weeks we'll be bringing you a few of the delights and surprises of The Faroes…
Welcome to the unspoilt authentic Faroes
"Happy Birthday Dad," say the boys, presenting Stuart with a large framed picture. For a moment he looks alarmed in case it's a pin up of one of their favourite pop stars. Surely nothing could be worse than a scaled up cardboard cut-out of Bruno Mars? But as the wrapping falls away, corner by corner, he reveals a recent memory; a framed sketch of a cliff constructed from trolls.
On his 48th birthday, Stuart is now the proud owner of his own piece of Faroe Islands seaside, complete with the puffins he's been trying to see up close since the Westman Islands. As we stand and absorb the scene, we are all taken out of Cumbrian farming country and transported back to the middle of the North Atlantic. His lightly etched troll cliff is magical, unspoilt by human life, populated by puffins, gannets and sheep, and surrounded by nothing but sea. Just like the Faroe Islands themselves.
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…
It is the sea that defines this volcanic outcrop, feeds its inhabitants and adds grey and blue shades to a predominantly green landscape. And as a tourist, there are unlimited ways of being beside, under or on the sea. Because in The Faroe Islands you never really leave the ocean behind. In 2007 the Faroe Islands were called the 'most authentic and unspoilt' island destination in the world by National Geographic Traveller. It's an incredible achievement when you think of the competition. But it's not achieved in a showy way; the Faroes tourism experience blends subtly into daily life here.
On our first morning in the capital, over coffee at the harbour, I'm not arguing with the decision. I can't imagine a more relaxing capital city than Torshavn. In the tiny marketplace, the fishermen sell the morning's catch, while a barman presses fresh juices for those who need an extra shot of life. Birds swoop and call and the yachts sway in the stiff breeze. It may be a bit windy, but after a month in Iceland, it's positively balmy for us. We sit outside with our drinks and take off our coats for the first time in a while.
Boat trips, fishing, island hopping…
If you don't fancy staring out to sea, there's plenty you can do to engage with it more actively. In season you can go out on a traditional boat to the sea caves for a grotto concert. You can island hop on a variety of ferries. Or fish to your heart's content. Fishing is the country's biggest export and the reason people have been able to live here for so many centuries. But we couldn't find it in the shops as locals hardly ever buy it; they just jump in a boat and hook it out for themselves, or barter with friends and neighbours for a fillet.
During our stay in the capital we enjoy a meal with a local family (arranged by the tourist board and an option for all tourists.) It's a good way to get to know the culture from an insider and we chat about education, life, death, music and whaling. During this engaging and lively conversation the adults eat freshly caught, lightly battered and perfectly cooked cod. The kids prefer the lasagne, particularly our hosts' children who I sense might be served fish rather a lot! Oddmar and his wife Camilla explain they borrowed a boat from a friend and spent a happy day out with their children sourcing it. Our meal is like the biblical story of the loaves and fishes; we eat and eat until we are full and then we eat some more and I start to wonder if their friend's boat was a trawler?
Sea life in miniature – Torshavn aquarium
One of the best ways to see what lies beneath the surface here is to visit the Aquarium. But don't come expecting Sea World; like many of the visitor attractions on the Faroe Islands it's a small and charming experience. All the marine life in here has been hooked out by local fisherman and given for free to the manager Bjorki Geyti who has built up the aquarium from scratch since it opened in 2007. You won't find all of the local species here as some are hard to catch.
"They suffer from the bends like divers" says Bjorki, a former diver and marine biologist. He laughs as he tells us people come looking for sharks, and find lump fish. But they also find an enthusiastic, knowledgeable team willing to explain and engage.
The aquarium is an old ice house, where they used to store ice and snow to preserve the herring for bait. It's an intimate space, with small subtly lit tanks, and I'm mesmerised by one of the tiniest jelly fish I've ever seen; a fragile, opaque wonder. The kids gravitate to the ugly lump fish with their batch of roe and try to stare them out while Stuart goes in search of the shark. Yes there is one; a Small Spotted Catshark, but it's not exactly Jaws.
Giver and taker of life
The sea itself is a far more threatening force. It may nourish the islanders both physically and spiritually, but this brooding mass of water that shape shifts with the moon is as much a potential enemy as a friend. And if you spend time on these islands you can't fail to notice its power. Our first night is spent in Gjógv, at Gjaargardur guest house on the far north of the island of Esturoy.
Like everything in the Faroes the guesthouse is relaxed and welcoming with plenty of fish and local delicacies on the menu. It's the only guesthouse in the village, but then it's a village of only 30 people. And both the Swiss style chalet and the annexe have traditional grass roofs, which have the kids wondering just how they cut them.
We wander down to a cove tucked compactly into a gorge (the village gets its name from this gorge) where the waves crash onto rocks so mottled they resemble marble. By the little village church a woman and her children stare out to sea. The pitiful trio wait silently for their husband and father to come home. But unfortunately they will wait till the end of time as the statue is a memorial for the men who are lost at sea, and in particular a tragedy that wiped out nearly all of the men in the village. We stand silently, mirroring the statue, listening to the song of the sea and looking out onto an ocean that ultimately extends to America. I breathe in the salt and the crashing waves and know, without a doubt, this week beside the sea is going to be one to remember.
This post is part of our 2012 Adventure Islands Season. We spent summer 2012 exploring Iceland and The Faroes, researching what's on offer for adventure seeking families. We're grateful to Smyril Line for help with transport, to Berghaus and Thule who helped equip us for the journey. And to Gjaargardur Guest House and Visit Faroes who helped us out on the Faroes. All views and opinions are as ever our own.

So, you want to be an EDM superstar? It's easy! EDM is blowing up like a 17-year-old girl in a tutu. Act fast, and you can catch some of that glorious LED spotlight for yourself!
Not interested in long hours studying music theory, beat matching, or production equipment? Fuck it! You don't need that in today's dance music world. All you need is a few key elements in your personal brand package, some easily digestible tunes, a demographic of your choice ... Et voila!
Just follow these five easy steps, and you'll be well on your way to becoming the next Avicii, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, or anyone else you want! (Does not include A-Trak turntablist package.)
Be as Young as Possible
Everyone loves a prodigy, and youth is really selling right now. The kids want to hear music from their own kind. Whiz kids like Madeon, Zedd, and Porter Robinson go straight to the top. Already older than 21? Start moisturizing and lie about your age. You're not going to impress anyone with ten years of experience and a gut ... Trust us.
Have a Gimmick
Talent is overrated, but a sick-ass helmet will have you going places. No one is listening to your music anyway, they just want to see a show. Give the people a show! If you're not going to wear a sweet mask or costume, find something else. Walk out over the crowd in a bubble, throw food at them, find a way to DJ in a revolving cage. Or, If you're a woman, just put your tits out there and model. That's usually good enough.
Jump on Trains
So, you're a bass-driven producer? Make sure you stay on top of all the genres. You might have started out as a dupstep DJ, but if you don't have moombahton edits and trap remixes in your arsenal, you're out of here. And house DJs, make sure you're ready to blast them with progressive and trance. The important thing: As soon as a new fad gets hip, you attack that formula with everything you've got. It's the only way to stay relevant, and it's way easier than coming up with your own sound.
Cut Off Dead Weight
You're going to meet a lot of people on your journey to the top, but some of these people will only hold you back. Once you become "more famous" than someone, they're not your friend. Look, you're busy now being a superstar, you don't have to worry about paying your dues and thanking the little people. Porter Robinson doesn't. And neither should you!

Get a Leather Jacket
This may seem superficial, but it's the one thing all superstar DJs have in common. You might not actually be a DJ unless you have your sweet leather jacket. This will also allow the groupies to tell that you're in fact the superstar they've been dreaming of. But by no means should you ever love them hoes.
Now, mess up your hair, take a look in the mirror and kiss yourself. You've done it!

Historic center of Qalandia to be restored with international cooperation
Ary Gotlib
- December 28, 2018
Main News
] [
Qalandiya checkpoint
] [
Send by email:
In Qalandia, south of Ramallah, the Riwaq center for architectural conservation has begun major restoration work. In a village sadly known for the largest checkpoint along the segregation wall, this renovation has a very special symbolic significance.
For Aya Tahhan, architect and manager at Riwaq, "this is a particular restoration, because it is the first time that we will renovate the whole historic center of a village." Sixty houses will be renovated by the end of the project. "It is possible thanks to an agreement with the municipality," she added.
This is a house of a rich family built in the early 1880s and expanded twice, around 1920 and 1940. It is the object of a complete restoration commenced in April 2018 and will last a year and a half.
This restoration is conducted in cooperation with foreign craftsmen.
For Victor Laurent*, Belgian cabinetmaker sent by an agency of his country (which wished to remain anonymous) who is working with Riwaq, "it is a very interesting opportunity to explain ancient woodworking techniques to Palestinian artisans who have lost this knowledge today."
"The technical development in Palestine went too fast, the craftsmen had to get used to working with very sophisticated machines whereas some time ago, they worked with planes for wood," analyzed Victor Laurent, affirming that master craftsmen did not have time to train with these new technologies.
"Today we must put a certain slowness in the work and say that producing to produce does not make much sense," he asserted.
The Belgian cabinetmaker's mission is the renovation of several doors and windows of the villa. "I do not want to modernize them, but restore them while retaining the techniques of yesteryear."
In a context of occupation and deprivation, saving the Palestinian memory and heritage is part of the resistance. Aya Tahhan emphasized: "Israel not only trying to grab our identity but they say it's theirs."
Riwaq plans for the villa to become a center for cultural NGOs and associations, "in a bid to decentralize offices and institutions based in Ramallah, which is becoming more and more congested," according to the architect.
The house restored is next to an Israeli road's wall protection.
"When I came here for the first time, I saw the near wall built by the Israeli state in order to protect one of their roads. That made me understand better the importance for Palestinians to maintain their heritage," Laurent said with tremolos in his voice.
During 10 days, the Belgian cabinet maker and Palestinian carpenters are working together, sharing their different way of working.
"It is a chance for me to work with Victor Laurent, although he is sometimes annoying with his precautionary measures," Nasser Odeh - partner and owner of the carpenter workshop in Taybeh village, said with a smile.
But for the Belgium, "it is important to insist on safety, we are also here to discuss the way we conceive our job. It's a complete sharing."
For Riwaq co-director Khaldoun Bshara, this international cooperation must aim to the transfer of know-how. "Today, we don't know in Palestine how to restore wood, so we throw it in the trash, therefore we import metal equipment. We are triply losers because it is more expansive, we aren't autonomous and because we lose our history."
One part of the historical center started to be restored by Riwaq in January 2018.
Qalandia village is known for being the location of the largest checkpoint in the West Bank that regulates the routes between the West Bank and Jerusalem. "The name of Qalandia is not linked with the historic center – pointed out Aya Tahhan - we hope to make it change."
The two woodworkers wish to preserve the techniques used to work the wood at these different times.
From the left to the right : Door built in 1880 – Window from around 1920 – Window from around 1930 – Window from around 1940
Border-less craft projects and the re-appropriation of heritage management by the citizens themselves are two central creeds for Victor Laurent.
"The knowledge and history of one city must go beyond the law, for me it's the citizens who must gather and decide what should or should not be preserved, not a political hierarchy."
In Palestine, Aya Tahhan highlighted that "the budgetary priority of the authorities is too much on defense and security. They do not see enough importance in keeping alive our heritage, we want to bring awareness on this point."

Android Pay launching in the UK in the next few months
The wait is almost over. Google announced on Wednesday Android Pay will be launching in the UK in the next few months.
Android Pay is Google's own mobile payment platform for smartphones. Like the iPhone's Apple Pay, Android users with compatible phones can use their smartphones to make purchases at supported merchants. Android Pay will also work with the London Tube.
Here are some of the retailers that will support Android Pay at launch:
When it launches in the UK, Android Pay will work with MasterCard and Visa credit and debit cards from banks including HSBC, Bank of Scotland, First Direct, Halifax, Lloyds Bank, M&S Ban, MBNA and Nationwide Building Society.
In addition to using Android Pay to purchase things in real life, users will be able to use it buy things within apps. The apps below will support Android Pay in the UK at launch:
Furthermore, in the U.S., Android Pay's now supported in more places. Google says it's seeing 1.5 million new registrations for Android Pay support per month, and it now works at Best Buy and Peet's Coffee & Tea. In-app Android Pay support has also expanded:
Though Apple Pay and Android Pay are the two prominent mobile payment systems duking it out, Samsung's own Samsung Pay is also competing in the space. The one advantage Samsung Pay has is that it works with all contactless mobile payment terminals and older credit card terminals, meaning it will work in more places than Apple Pay and Android Pay.
BONUS: Xiaomi Mi 5 is an incredible Chinese phone with an unbeatable price

Near miss with merchant ship led to submarine commander's firing
The USS Kentucky's commander was fired in October because the submarine got too close to a merchant ship, according to information the Kitsap Sun obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Cmdr. Joseph Nosse was relieved on Oct. 19 for shortfalls in professional performance — not personal conduct — that led to leadership's loss of confidence in his ability to command, said Submarine Group 9 spokesman Lt. Ed Early. The shortfalls included inadequate leadership and oversight of the crew in the areas of operations and administration. The Navy provided no further details at the time.A 15-page incident report from Nosse to Submarine Force U.S. Pacific Fleet, much of it redacted, provides a sketch of what happened.
The date and location of the incident aren't provided. The report is dated Oct. 18, a day before the firing. The subject is "CLOSE CPA WITH b(1)" with b(1) representing redacted material. CPA means closest point of approach.
The Kentucky, a Trident ballistic missile submarine based at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, came within a redacted number of yards of an inbound merchant ship. The sub was preparing to surface to conduct what the Navy calls a brief stop for personnel (BSP) — letting people on or off the boat.
"The root cause of the close CPA was inadequate command emphasis on and preparation for conducting the BSP safely," the report's summary states.
It appears the Kentucky crew thought the merchant ship was going away from them, but it was moving toward them. They stopped tracking it "which prevented other watchstanders from recognizing the ship was turning onto the track of a close aboard merchant," the report states. The merchant ship saw the sub's periscope and snorkel mast and veered to the left.
The report says Kentucky supervisors were too focused on the brief stop for personnel, distracting them from recognizing potential risks.
Nosse was reassigned to Submarine Group 9 staff.

text: I don't think anyone has actually started charging "settlements" which is what your CEO is probably talking about. It's been a rumor for quite a while that settlement based peering will happen. Very similar to how the utilities companies manage "traffic". You would count bits into your network from peer X and he would count bits from your network, whoever has the lowest number has to pay the difference. So, if you are a small provider, your going to have to pay the big boys to carry your customers traffic. Welcome to the new Internet, where the bottom line is the driving factor. Especially since the margins are so low and no-one has made any money yet (will we ever?). Since some of the larger vendors (Cisco mostly) has introduced accounting features into their software settlements could start any time. It's just a matter of time until someone actually announces it.. who will jump first?

build: Add a symbol version to all exported symbols
The --default-symver linker option attaches a default version definition (the SONAME) to every exported symbol. It is supported since at least GNU binutils 2.22 in 2011 (older versions not tested). With this version definition, newly-linked binaries that depend on the json-glib shared library will refer to its symbols in a versioned form, preventing their references from being resolved to a symbol of the same name exported by json-c or libjansson if those libraries appear in dependency search order before json-glib, which will usually result in a crash. This is necessary because ELF symbol resolution normally uses a single flat namespace, not a tree like Windows symbol resolution. At least one symbol (json_object_iter_next()) is exported by all three JSON libraries. Linking with -Bsymbolic is not enough to have this effect in all cases, because -Bsymbolic only affects symbol lookup within a shared object, for example when json_from_string() calls json_parser_new(). It does not affect symbol lookup when external code calls into json-glib, for example when libedataserver calls json_parser_new(). This change will also not prevent code that depends on json-c or libjansson from finding json-glib's symbols and crashing; to prevent that, a corresponding change in json-c or libjansson would be needed. Adding a symbol-version is a backwards-compatible change, but once added, removing or changing the symbol-version would be an incompatible change that requires a SONAME bump. Partially resolves #33 and glib#2147. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <email@example.com>

Fish throws in the towels
MARDY Fish bowed out of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals with no wins from three matches and no points to boost his world ranking but with 10 towels in his luggage. The personalised towels are one of the little luxuries provided for the eight singles players at the year-ending championships and will be a reminder to the Los Angeles resident of his week among the elite.
"We have a lot of bath towels and pool towels for LA," Fish said with a smile after losing 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to Roger Federer in his final group match. "We've taken a lot of pictures. We've taken the shower door, the mirror. No, only joking. But I've taken a lot of towels."
The 29-year-old American, who finally broke into the top 10 this season in his 12th year on the tour, has not been at his best in London, his preparations having been hampered by a hamstring injury, but he is determined to qualify for the event again. "It's like flying first class," he said. "You don't know what you're missing until you fly it once. Then you don't ever want to leave."
With Federer already through to the semi-finals and Fish unable to progress, spectators might have feared a less than competitive match, but there was plenty at stake. The 200 ranking points for each round-robin win may have been uppermost in Federer's mind as he is now just 110 points away from reclaiming the No 3 spot from Andy Murray, which he would do by reaching the final here.
With 400 points for a semi-final win and another 500 for winning the final, Federer would earn 1,500 ranking points if he wins the title. That compares with 2,000 points for a Grand Slam title (runners-up earn 1,200) and 1,000 in the Masters Series (runners-up 600).
Meanwhile the financial rewards reflect the tournament's standing as the year's most important outside the four Grand Slam events. If Federer successfully defends his title he will collect USD$1.63m ($AU1.68m) in prize money, just short of the USD$1.8m ($AU1.86m) Novak Djokovic won with his US Open triumph two months ago. Players receive USD$120,000 ($AU124,000) just for taking part, the same for each round-robin win and a further USD$380,000 ($AU392,000) for reaching the final.
When you have earned USD$65.2m ($AU67.2m) from prize money alone the extra million or two probably makes little difference. For some of the other players, however, the prize money is significant. Janko Tipsarevic, for example, would have more than doubled his year's earnings if he had won the title here. The 27-year-old Serb earned USD$132,160 ($AU136,274) for winning the Kremlin Cup in Moscow last month, which was only the second tournament victory of his career, yet he will take home USD$165,000 ($AU170,000) this week even if he follows up his defeat to Tomas Berdych on Wednesday with another loss against Djokovic today.
As the two alternates - who attend in case any of the eight-man field are injured - Tipsarevic and Nicolas Almagro were guaranteed USD$70,000 ($AU72,000) just for turning up. Tipsarevic, who replaced Murray after the Scot's first match, will earn an extra USD$95,000 ($AU98,000) for playing two matches and an additional USD$120,000 ($AU124,000) if he beats Djokovic.
Fish, who celebrated Thanksgiving Day last night by going to an American restaurant with his family to eat turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberries, said he felt "honoured" to be part of this week.
"We get our own locker rooms back there, our names on our towels," he said. "For me, that doesn't happen every year. A lot of guys have made this a lot of times, but I haven't. Maybe I can appreciate it more because I know it's very hard to get back here. I know there's a chance I won't ever come back to this event, so I wanted to take it all in."
Fish's late success in his career came after he decided to lose two stone in weight when he was recovering from knee surgery two winters ago. He recalled how hard his comeback had been.
"I remember the beginning of 2010 when I was in Memphis," he said. "I was recovering from knee surgery and it wasn't going well. I remember I was losing to a guy that I probably should not have been losing to pretty badly. I wasn't healthy. I remember someone yelling out: 'Quit tanking. Why don't you start trying harder?' I could barely move. That was the lowest moment of my tennis career by a mile."
Federer, meanwhile, has been so relaxed this week that he took up Thierry Henry's invitation to accompany him to Arsenal's Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. "I enjoyed it," Federer said. "I was able to go down on the pitch, go in the locker room, meet the players. They were extremely happy. It was nice for me to see some English football."

We live in a plagued society; we do not know when or how a disease may decide to turn into a full-blown epidemic. Even something as trivial as a common cold may affect us severely and will linger on for days. This is why we must own a few standard medical gears at home so we can check ourselves from time to time and make sure we aren't going under the weather. One important medical tool that you can keep within the comfort of your home is a Thermometer. A thermometer's function is to assess your body temperature and notify you if your body temperature is above or below the standard temperature. This assessment will determine whether or not you are falling sick.
This being said is why you require a thermometer, perhaps the advanced version of a standard thermometer i.e. Infrared Thermometer in your first aid kit.
There are plenty of thermometers you can choose from, so here's a list of all the options you could look into to pick out the best one for you,
The 5 Best Infrared Thermometers in India
Dr Trust Infrared Forehead Temporal Artery Thermometer with Color Coded Fever Guidance:
- This thermometer will scan the heat on the temporal artery of your forehead which is why it is named so. This technology will give you an assessment within 3 seconds of its administration.
- It operates on two modes, object mode, and person mode, the object mode is useful in assessing exterior temperatures, more specifically, if you want to assess the temperature of the milk or water before giving it to a child this thermometer gives you an accurate reading of the heat.
- The thermometer's design has a 2-color coded feature that helps you understand if the individual is experiencing a fever or no by displaying the coded colors.
- It is very convenient and effective. It is also non-invasive, which means you don't have to stick it under your armpit or tongue as standard thermometers may require you to. It is hygienic to use.
Omron MC 720 Non-Contact Digital Infrared Thermometer:
- Similar to the previous thermometer, this also assesses your body temperature from your forehead, but it senses the infrared emissions of your skin and then determines your body temperature.
- The reading is available in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, it also has the object mode and person mode, it senses the heat of an object by simply noting the heat on the surface.
- It analysis your temperature with room temperature, so you can assess whether or not your body may be falling ill.
- The room temperature will be displayed by the thermometer even after the unit of your body temperature is turned off.
MCP Medical Infrared Forehead Thermometer Gun for Fever:
- This thermometer is a non-contact thermometer that is safe to use for both adults and babies
- It is lightweight and portable, it analyses the body temperature of the individual regardless of the current room temperature.
- It has a backlight LED display that flashes different colors, green for a normal body temperature, orange for slightly above the normal temperature and red when your body is at risk of contracting a full-blown sickness.
- It has different modes to select from, it should be administered 1-15 cm away from the forehead for it to determine your temperature.
Equinox Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer:
- This thermometer is the best option for any age group, it provides an accurate result within seconds of its administration.
- The thermometer alerts us by displaying a red light if our body temperature is unusually high.
- It displays your temperature reading for about 30 seconds and can store up to 32 readings automatically, in case you need to keep tabs on your increasing and/or decreasing body temperature.
- Place it a few centimeters away from your forehead. It is hygienic and easy to use.
BPL Medical Technologies' infrared thermometers:
- This thermometer can assess accurate temperature measurements by the administration on the forehead or the ear. It provides your results within 0.5 seconds of administration and can also store up to 20 measurements.
- It is very easy to use and is also a bit conventional. It shuts down within 10 seconds after use to not drain the battery.
- It alerts you when the temperature is high with an inbuilt alarm if your body temperature is unusual. The alarm is also for when you to take timely tests to assess the fluctuating temperature. It has two modes both Fahrenheit and Celsius. It also has an LCD display that is bi-color and lights up in accordance to the temperature the body exudes.
- There are two buttons, namely the F1 and F2 which are for the forehead and ear respectively. You can opt for either depending on what type of measurement you are seeking.
These are the best-reviewed and preferred Infrared Thermometers available in India. Although sickness cannot be avoided it can be prevented to a certain extent. Our health should be the priority at all times, so even if you are not able to follow through with your health checkups it is highly recommended that you own a personal medical kit which consists of basic medical tools just to make sure that your health will not be compromised in any way. Sanitation is also very important that is why a wave of 'non-contact' thermometers has taken the market by a wave. The traditional thermometers are not ideal in terms of hygiene, preferably opt for the non-contact thermometers so you are not at the risk of contracting any disease.…

Giving young people a second chance works
For many years, Victoria led the country in supporting kids in trouble. There was a common understanding across sectors, including Government, police and community, about holding young people who offend accountable while giving them the chance to make amends for their actions.
As a direct result of this approach, we saw long-term decreases in first time and repeat offending. We saw more children and young people reconnecting with family, education, employment and other opportunities.

CAIRO (AP) — State TV says Egypt's information minister has denied that President Hosni Mubarak will step down.
The comment by Anas el-Fiqqi, in a written scroll on state television, comes ahead of an address by Mubarak to the nation. Announcements by the military that the demands of protesters calling for his immediate ouster would be met raised their expectations he would announce his resignation.
But the minister's comment raises the possibility that Mubarak could announce a half-measure, such as keeping his title while relinquishing his executive powers.

If you're the type of person who picks up a bible to read more than a couple times each year (Christmas and Easter), then it's a safe bet that your bible is a treasured possession. Not only does it get a lot of use, but you probably keep notes in it as well. You don't want a bible that falls apart after months or years of steady use, only to lose all of your notes.
It's time to stop buying cheap bibles.
Sure, you can find bibles at the bookstore for ten to twenty dollars. I'll guarantee you they won't last. So save up some money and invest in a quality bible that will last a lifetime. What should you look for in a quality bible?
- A sewn binding. Inexpensive bibles are glued together at the spine. Not only does this limit flexibility when the bible is open, but eventually the glue will give out and you'll lose pages from the spine. With a sewn binding, all the pages are stitched to the spine in leafs. This allows for the bible to open flatter and stay open, facilitating ease of use. This also means that your bible spine won't fall apart on you like a cheap paperback.
- Real leather cover. Most of the cheaper bibles have covers made of bonded leather or some material made to imitate leather. You'll get a price break if you buy one, but your cover will fall apart at some point. Look for covers made of genuine goatskin or calfskin. You can't go wrong with that.
- Bible paper. Many cheap bibles use regular paper that won't hold up to extended use. Others, that are a step up from them, use a very thin paper called "india paper". India paper allows for thinner bibles, and is actually a good quality paper. If the bible you want has it, don't sweat it too much. The advantage of having "bible paper" is that it prevents some of the bleedthrough you get with the super-thin india paper.
Stick to these guidelines, and you'll find a bible that will be a lasting treasure. If you need a nudge in the right direction, look to publishers like Cambridge, R L Allan, and Oxford for examples of quality bibles.

The House on Sugar Plum Lane
About the Book
The House on Sugar Plum Lane
In her unforgettable Fairbrook novels, Judy Duarte created a town that's as warm and as welcoming as home. In THE HOUSE ON SUGAR PLUM LANE, old friends and new characters mingle in a poignant story of second chances, new beginnings, faith, and family.
A woman without a past, and a woman whose future is running out, come together when one finds the pieces of a tattered journal that speaks from the heart.
Amy Masterson, a single mom in search of her roots, finds pieces of a torn journal in a three-story house that once belonged to her family. As she uncovers secrets, betrayals, and emotions buried long ago, she feels an inexplicable bond to another young mother who lived in the old Victorian decades earlier, a woman very much like herself.
Ellie Rucker, her mind failing with age, lives with a neighbor who was kind enough to take her in. Each day, the past slips further from her grasp, and her prayers fade. For years, Ellie had asked God to bless the baby her daughter gave up and to facilitate a reconnection. Time is running out for Ellie, until Amy's faith takes a leap, and a miracle occurs...
