1) Position a gif that contains a circle,
2) Then position six navigational text images around that circle's perimeter.
It's not really acceptable to slice up a single image here or use an image map.
My first shot was to use a body background image for the circle and then position the text over it in a table. It worked in both browsers -- but only on a PC. Some Mac browsers skew the relative positions by 15 pixels or so, and it's very ugly. But, of course, some Mac browsers work fine, just to keep things lively.
So I tried putting the circle in a table cell background -- and Mac still went off into its own world.
OK. This site already had a requirement for recent browsers, so I decided to try absolute positioning with CSS -- using the z-index to get the text images on top of the circle image.
Lo and behold, Netscape 4.7 (PC version) renders the same absolute position differently on the two different z-indexes!
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any clues as to what I am dealing with here would be greatfully accepted. I honestly thought that absolute positioning had no bugs.
BTW, all the versions of this page pass Homesite's HTML validator.

Gearing up for its January 11, 2013 release date, "Gangster Squad" has just unveiled a brand new promotional poster.
The Warner Bros production was due to hit theaters earlier this year, however the massacre during the opening night of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado forced extensive re-shoots.
It was originally slated for a September 7th street date, but now "Gangster Squad" won't be coming out until next year.
In light of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting during "The Dark Knight Rises" last week, Warner Bros has elected to change some aspects of the film.
It's one of the most anticipated movies of the fall season, but "Gangster Squad" won't have a trailer running in theaters anytime soon.
According to a report, the mass shooting at "The Dark Knight Rises" premiere in Colorado last night has caused concern over how a similar scene in the Sean Penn flick would be received.
Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled a new banner for the movie "Gangster Squad" starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Gosling, and Sean Penn.
It's one of the hottest ensemble casts of the year, and "Gangster Squad" has just released an international trailer.
It seems things are heating up between Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova as they were spotted catching a flight home after a romantic weekend together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Thursday (May 31).
His humanitarian efforts in Haiti have been well-documented, and Sean Penn talked with Ann Curry on the "Today" show to explain what he's been up to as of late.
The "Mystic River" actor held a benefit dinner at the 65th Cannes Film Festival last week to raise money for his organization, and he's not even close to being done.
Gearing up for their big fundraiser tonight, Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova were spotted at a photocall for "Haiti: Carnival in Cannes" today (May 18).
The "All the King's Men" stud and the sexy supermodel (they're dating again) hung out with director Paul Haggis and actress Roberta Armani as part of the 65th Cannes Film Festival.

Poetry Sunday: Creation
The third installment of Daylight Atheism's Poetry Sunday is some time overdue. Once again, I'd like to welcome back Philip Appleman, whose contribution this week is the poem "Creation". (I will feature other poets - but Professor Appleman has written so many beautiful works, I can't resist sharing them with my readers.)The Lascaux cave complex of southwestern France is famous for its cave paintings: hundreds of strikingly lifelike depictions of horses, cattle, bison, stags, and other animals. … [Read more...]
How to Think Critically III: Randomness
I've written before that the human mind is a pattern-seeking engine. We are wired by evolution to seek cause-and-effect relationships in the world around us, and when there are relationships to be found, we often do very well. The problem is when there are no causal relationships to be found. People in such situations often develop what we call superstitions, erroneous conclusions about what sorts of causes are correlated with desired outcomes. In other words, we do not have an instinctive grasp … [Read more...]
Why I Am Not a Libertarian III
Opportunity and ObligationOne of the driving notions behind libertarian political theory is that society should be a meritocracy. By removing all restraints on competition, we will create a system where the hardest-working, most talented, most creative people succeed. And this is a good idea which I agree with. We need to encourage effort and innovation to create a healthy society; we should not punish motivation, nor reward laziness. We should give people an incentive to work and to strive. … [Read more...]

For those having strange issues with D2
January 17th, 2010, 19:42
I replaced my DvD rom and magically most of my issues are gone. Apparently my loading issue was completely related to Securom not being compatible with my old DVD player (this game and Dragon Age both had issues with securom and my dvd player). The devs said they had some strange intentional game behavior for people who warez the game or use no-cd hacks, but it's sad for players like me who had a legit (Steam) copy and still had to upgrade my dvd player to use the game without issue.

text: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition OC Video Card Review James White May 8, 2012 Reviews 1 Comment 6 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Google+ 5 Pin It Share 1 Reddit 0 Email -- 6 Flares × Prev1 of 3NextUse your ← → (arrow) keys to browse The question I always find myself asking is when it comes to my next graphics card purchase, what is more important? Is it processing core count or clock speed? The answer is often not clear with so many options on the market. Especially in the highly contested $150 - 200 price range. AMD has taken a side on the question for now as they are phasing out older cards with a new architecture that may have fewer stream processors, but much higher clock speeds. Today we are putting a card that follows this new trend and they call it the Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition OC. Let's put it through its paces and see if this new approach to performance is the right one. Features and Specifications The Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition OC is based on the 28 nanometer GCN Architecture with 10 Compute cores (640 Stream Processors), 40 Texture Units, 64 Z/Stencil ROP Units, and 16 Color ROP Units. As with all GHz Edition AMD HD 7770 graphics cards, it is designed for at least 1 GHz core speed and 1125 MHz (4500 GHz effective) GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit bus. The Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition OC is the single fastest card in this category with a core speed of 1.15 GHz (1150 MHz) and 1250 MHz (5000 MHz effective) speed for the 1 GB memory onboard. The Sapphire GHz Edition OC has plenty of connectivity as well with 1 x Dual-Link DVI, 1 x HDMI (with 3D), and 2 x Mini-DisplayPort. The DVI port is capable of 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz. The HDMI supports full 3D stereoscopic 7.1 high bit rate audio. These ports can be combined to support AMD Eyefinity for up to four monitors. The Sapphire HD 7770 itself also has support for CrossfireX with one additional video card. The Sapphire HD 7770 brings all the weapons the AMD 7000 series of graphics cards brings to the table as well. It has support for OpenGL 4.2, Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing (EQAA), 16x angle independent anisotropic texture filtering, ZeroCore power management, supports OpenCL™ 1.2, DirectCompute 11, Microsoft C++ AMP, and built for PCI Express 3.0 interface. All of this can be found for around $149.99 US at retail. In this range are cards in AMD's own stable which include the fairly abundant HD 6850 and the nVIDIA equivalent, GTX 550 Ti editions. Whats in the Box? The content of the box is what you should expect from a mid-range graphics card with a few bonuses that pander to folks that may not have the most up to date systems. This is why Sapphire includes a DVI to VGA adapter and a PCI 6-pin to molex 4-pin adapter, making it easier to use your older monitor or a slightly older power supply. In addition you will have your user manual, driver installation disk, product registration information, CrossfireX bridge, and Sapphire case badge. In addition to the above items that help out with people upgrading from older systems, there are a few bonus here that I believe are above and beyond the bare minimum. The Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition OC also includes an HDMI cable and mini-DP to full sized DisplayPort adapter. This is great as these items are often considered optional and are often the first things companies remove to cut cost and lower the price. While it is true you can find a few other HD 7770 GHz Edition cards on the market for less, it's worth noting that those units are slower and do not come with these bonuses. Test Setup Hardware The test system for the Sapphire 7770 GHz Edition OC has not changed since our original GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD7 review. The only real difference between the two test setups were updates to related test software which I will address in detail. Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition OC & AMD HD 6850 1 GB Reference CPU: AMD FX-8150 AM3+ CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD7 Memory: G.Skill Ripjaw 2133 MHz 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 9-11-10-27 T1 @ 1866 MHz 9-10-9-27 T1 Power Supply: Antec High Current Pro 850 Watt 80+ Gold System Drives: Patriot Pyro SATA III MLC 60 GB (Sandforce 2281 controller) Case: SilverStone TJ04-E Evolution This system should provide sufficient power to properly test the HD 7770 GHz Edition from Sapphire against its closest competitor in the family, that you can still find on the shelves today. Software The software used this time around is limited to what is needed for testing the graphical performance. There have been several driver updates and the Windows 7 AMD FX patches since the last time I documented the AMD HD 6850 1GB performance. To ensure accuracy, the HD 6850 1 GB was retested across the board at my monitor's maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Pearson vs Whitby
I have an Irwin 37'' cc. You can go from one end of the boat to the other with no problem. She heals 30 degrees vs a aft cockpit doing 20. (so you just reef). There is tons of room below so sail stowage is not a problem, especially if its only you and the wife. I use the bow for storage or the aft head, if necessary. One of my two lockers has the extra set of sails and oil and such. Is it a little wetter? Somewhat. Would I go with an aft cockpit? Heavens no. Just got a Cruising WOrld mag and 90% of the ads are center cockpits. Just came from the Cleveland Boat show and didn''t see a one. I like the room, convenience and design of a cc vs. and aft.
Pearson vs Whitby
As a Pearson 422 owner,I can report this is a fine mid-cockpit boat. There are 422''s available that are optionally sloop/cutter rigged at the owner''s whim. As for deck stowage, we''ve found a place for everything, and cut back on unnecessaries.

Pearson vs Whitby
You might want to look at a Mariner 39, if you can find any for sale. We looked at both Pearson 424s and Whitby 42s early in our boat search, we ended up buying the Mariner. It''s a VERY similar layout to the Whitby 42, except everythings just a little bit smaller (which we liked, moving up from a Tartan 30 to the 40-foot range was daunting in terms of our ability to handle a larger boat!). There are 2 companionways in the cockpit, one to the aft cabin, although there is also a walk-through (or should I say crouch-through) passageway below. Very good tankage, though much of it is under the settees, which robs storage space for long-term cruising. As previously noted, there''s a serious lack of topsides storage: one cockpit locker. I believe that''s a problem with most CC boats; everythings a trade-off!
What we REALLY liked was the underbody: a fin keel and a beefy skeg-hung rudder. We sailed a Tartan 30 before and maneuverability and accelleration can''t compare, but I suspect the difference would have been greater on a Whitby. She could use more sail, though. We''re hoping a new full-batten main instead of the hollow-roach 20-yr-old main she had will help. You can see the boat at http://www.sailnamaste.com.
BTW we also looked at a Hughes/Northstar 40 (got all excited cuz its a Sparkman & Stephens design but TERRIBLE joinery work and the one we looked at was in awful shape) as well as a S&S designed Italian center cockpit ketch called an Alpa (41, I think.) That was a nice boat. Check it out if there are any on the market. Sometimes listed incorrectly as Alpha 41.
Good luck, have lots of fun on the search!
Pearson vs Whitby
Re: garyp''s comment, that''s a good point. I can confirm the Rasmus doesn''t have a walk-thru because we lived aboard one for 3 years. It''s cockpit was far lower than other C/C designs, meaning entrance to either cabin was only two short steps down. And the cockpit well had deep, deep coamings that, along with the hard dodger, made it very suitable for offshore work. It was also a great passagemaker.
If it wasn''t for the side galley, it would be even better.
Pearson vs Whitby
Coming out of a 424 cockpit, you''re nowhere near the mizzen boom, which is aft of the mast, which is aft of the companionway.
Yes, the mizzen mast stands right there in the cockpit. It provides a stout handhold when scanning the horizon, it makes a mizzen staysail possible in light airs, it''s where you can hang all your electronic goodies (radar, TV antenna, wind generator, various antenna), and it provides a foot brace when heeling. The mast is a good partner...it''s all the strings and wire that seem to encumber things!
Pearson vs Whitby
I did some web surfing in the last few days and have been checking out the Pearson 422 vs the 424. I have 2 questions one for 424 owners and one for 422 owners....or Center Cockpit owners.
1. If there are no cockpit/sail lockers on a center cocpit boat.... where do you put all your "stuff".
2. Ketch rigged boats.... I can see me coming out of the compaionway and bumping my head on the mizzen. How do you deal with it in the center of the cockpit, esp when entertaining? It sure has to have a lot of redeeming values...
Pearson vs Whitby
One type of center cockpit boat you have left out of your comments is those with no below decks passage between fore and aft cabins, allowing a much lower hull profile. Examples would be the Dickerson 36 and the HR Rasmus. (I have never been aboard a Rasmus, but believe I am correct.) I feel this design compromise creates much more successful center cockpit boat in the under 40'' range.
Just my two bits.
Pearson vs Whitby
Alan, I''ve not used the archive search function on this BB but you might give it a whirl since C/C design & function has been discussed here before.
Some folks simply love a C/C design. They like the better view of the bow when docking (altho'' it puts the helmsman distant from ALL the docking lines, not much of a help when short-handed), they like sitting ''up'' (a bit more distant from the wind-blown waves and ''the wet''), they like the perceived privacy that a cockpit well provides down below - at least visually - to the boat''s interior (tho'' distance hasn''t changed an iota and we all host fewer night-time guests than we imagine when selecting a boat), and a C/C deck plan accommodates ketch/yawl rigs better as the strings & wires don''t encroach on the cockpit nor do the spars (altho'' split rigs are considered a bit like the buggy-whip today). Another somewhat bizarre preference to my mind is the desire many of us have for two heads in a 40'' +/- boat, as if we have more space than we need or can use but fewer systems to maintain than we''d like. For those with this inclination, a C/C design provides for a walk-thru on one side of the well while the other can be used for a 2nd ("master") head. I''m sure I''m missing some of the other benefits, subjective or objective, but these are what pop to mind.
For long-term cruising and offshore sailing, here are some ways in which I find the C/C design undesireable (at least, relatively speaking). Of course, there are great cruising boats with a C/C (or derivation thereof) deck plan and I don''t see this as a blanket condemnation...but I think all these points apply in the 35-40'' range:
1. Motion sickness is induced far more by roll than pitch, yet perched up higher and more near the center of the boat, a C/C design invites higher acceleration and more roll motion than further aft and down lower. Moreover, it tires the crew more since they must hang on/brace/work against more motion. And when the crew eventually has to go calling ''Ralph''...?
2. Further forward, the crew struggles more to see under the genoa when maintaining watch, is closer to the bow wave and deck spray - C/C deck plans offer by their nature a wetter cockpit - and therefore require a more elaborate cockpit dodger/enclosure (expense, windage).
3. Along with the taller, likely to be bigger/more extended enclosure, we have the hull/deck profile itself - taller in cross-section in order to provide passageway space past the cockpit well when moving between the cabins. Truth be told, we (long-term cruisers) all tend to overload our boats over time, including lots of stuff on the deck, tied to the lifelines, suspended from arches & poles back aft, attached to the spars, and more. As a result, we incrementally - and usually without noticing it - degrade boat performance under sail, and most especially in lighter winds and when sailing to windward. In truth, most cruisers avoid higher latitude sailing and seek temperate climates, which means more often sailing in variable conditions. Throw in a spate of bad fuel and you can quickly find a poor performing boat means you get to enjoy the benefits of remaining offshore an extra day or two when you''d rather have made it to your destination. But just in general, we all enjoy sailing a boat that''s more responsive and handles less like a pig. A C/C deck plan works against this, especially so as boat size goes below 40''. You''ll notice I haven''t even touched on the behavior of such a burdened boat at anchor (which is where you normally reside when cruising), especially in a frontal blow or when a squall rips thru the anchorage.
4. Where does the "stuff" go? We have 3 huge cockpit lockers on our 424 and they are mostly full when offshore. But then, we carry almost no jugs on deck (small gasoline jugs are the exception, for safety reasons), have no cabin or berth encumbered by gear nor settee/quarterberth cushion loaded up with "stuff", carry multiple emergency rations of water and diesel, and enjoy having storage space for all the extra rodes, anchors, big fenders & dock lines, offshore raft (not baking out on deck, where the crew would least like to go if the vessel is in distress) and ditch bag, folding bikes, awnings and the 101 other things used over time when away. (What was I saying about overloading our boats...?) C/C plans provide little such storage space simply because much of it is consumed by a passageway and 2nd head (or workshop, one of the best reasons FOR a C/C design).
There are other reasons for my view and of course, there are alternative views which are equally strongly held. In the end, it''s what you & your crew find most important for you and your cruising plans that matters, not what someone else (on this BB or at a boat show) *claims* you should believe. Hope this helps, if only a little.
Pearson vs Whitby
I am interested in more of the disadvandages about the c/c design for extended passages. I know in my head and heart that this is what I would like to do, so I need to make my plans and boat fit. The first 5-7 years I''ll just be doing the Lake Ontario weekend or 2 - 3 week cruises. It''s the next adventure I want to be planning for. I do have my eye on a 422 that fits the budget but will need some work and upgrades.
I appreciate you candid comments and would like to hear more

The Rise of Webcomics @ PBS –
The internet has given birth to yet another new medium: webcomics. Moving beyond the restrictions of print, webcomic artists interact directly with audiences who share their own unique worldview, and create stories that are often embedded in innovative formats only possible online. Sometimes funny, sometimes personal, and almost always weird, web comic creators have taken the comic strip form to new, mature, and artistic heights.

Cops: Evidence Found in Secret Hernandez Apartment
WRENTHAM, Mass. (AP) - A police search of a secret "flop house" rented by former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez turned up boxes of ammunition and clothing police believe could be evidence in the murder case against him, according to court documents.
Police say they learned about the apartment from Carlos Ortiz, a friend of Hernandez's whom prosecutors say was with the ex-player the night he allegedly arranged the shooting of Odin Lloyd.
They then searched the $1,200-a-month apartment in Franklin on June 26, according to search warrant records at Wrentham District Court. Among the findings were a white hooded sweatshirt and a cranberry-colored cap in a bedroom, the documents said.
Surveillance video showed Hernandez wearing a similar sweatshirt the night Lloyd was killed on June 17, the records say.
He was wearing the cap in a picture shown on a local news station taken outside a nightclub June 14, the Friday before the killing, the documents said. Prosecutors say Hernandez was upset at Lloyd for talking to certain people at the nightclub.
"The white sweatshirt could be used ... to assist in linking Hernandez to the scene of the crime," wrote Trooper Michael Bates, in an affidavit in support of one of the search warrants.
"The baseball hat could help provide the whereabouts of Hernandez on the Friday night before the homicide," Bates wrote.
Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park near Hernandez's North Attleborough home. Prosecutors say Hernandez, Ortiz and another man drove there with Lloyd that night, though they haven't said who shot Lloyd.
Hernandez's attorneys say the evidence against him is circumstantial and that he's eager to clear his name.
The search also turned up several boxes of ammunition, including .22-, .45- and 7.62-caliber ammunition.

Despite universal cutbacks (especially food, natch), most of the money we save comes from one place: our apartment. For the space, the rent is ridiculously low - about half of what I've paid for other, smaller places. It allows us to stash several hundred extra dollars a month into savings, which makes a gigundo difference in our bankrolls.
Sadly, accommodations-wise, we get what we pay for.
A 110-year-old Brooklyn "brownstone" (sarcastic quotes intentional) that hasn't been updated in 109 years, our building's located on a major highway, one house away from the ongoing construction of a 10-story condo unit. The walls are cracking, the linoleum is permanently stained, and I'm fairly sure the basement is the seventh circle of Hell. Our bedroom is alternately freezing and sweltering. There is a constant stream of litter on our front steps, thrown there by assorted lazy-ass Brooklynites. We had a hole in our ceiling for six months before the landlord acknowledged our existence. In the fall, the construction site started attracting rats, which made their way into our backyard. It's since been fixed, but … RATS?!?!?! Jeez. Honestly, I have no idea how we've never had an insect problem, but everyday I knock on a million pieces of wood that it stays that way.
Despite this, our place is relatively warm and cozy, and we do the best we can with what we have. Ten years of post-collegiate furniture and décor helps, as does a positive outlook. Occasionally, though …
Look. Yesterday around 1pm, our ceiling started to leak. The upstairs neighbors' toilet overflowed, and they couldn't plunge fast enough. This was nothing new, and it only required a few buckets and two hours of constant surveillance on our end, but the leak was in our BEDROOM this time, perilously close to our tiny mattress. I almost lost it.
Because some days? Like today? When my PMS is particularly bad? I want a nice place RIGHT NOW. I want insulated windows and plumbing that's been replaced since the Coolidge administration. I want a front door that locks ALL the time, not just when I put my back into it. I want a KitchenAid standmixer, or at least the room to store it.
But if I want it, and I want to stay debt-free and financially solvent, I can't have it right now. I can have it in two or three years, when our savings culminates in a Place of Our Own. And that's okay. It really is. I still splurge. I'm not living a life of denial or deprivation. Instead, I'm living a life of simplicity and moderation with occasional frustrated outbursts. And in the longterm, that's a good thing, rats notwithstanding.
Oh – and the nice part of our current apartment? No matter what it looks like, our future house is going to seem like Xanadu.
Anyway, on to today's meal: White Bean and Tarragon Soup, a lovely, savory alternative to the usual Tuscan White Bean variety. If you should make it (and you should), a few things to know:
1. Since tarragon has a very subtle anise flavor, the soup does, too. I DESPISE anise, but it melds incredibly well, especially by the next day. So don't fear if you, too, are among the haters. You'll like this.
2. I used Progresso cannellini beans, which my spellcheck switched to "cannelloni" every time I typed it. Weird.
3. There's a little more fat than usual in this soup, but I bet you could lose a teaspoon of butter and two teaspoons of olive oil and be just fine. Also, the 12+ grams of fiber per serving should make up for it.
And that's it.
White Bean and Tarragon Soup
Serves 4
Adapted from Serious Eats, who got it from The Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater
2 19-oz cans white beans, drained and rinsed
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 scallions, roughly chopped
1 medium-sized carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock (or 2 cans)
1/4 cup fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
1) To a large pot or Dutch oven, add butter and olive oil. Heat 'em both over medium heat until butter melts and just starts foaming. Add scallions. Cook 2 or 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrots and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes, until softened, stirring occasionally.
2) Add beans and stock. Turn heat to high. Once stock starts boiling, add bay leaves and tarragon. Drop heat to medium-low. Simmer 15 or 20 minutes, "until the beans are falling apart." Then, with a stick blender, regular blender, food mill, or potato masher, mash/puree soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with "remaining chopped tarragon, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh black pepper."

One of our WeddingWire team members, Persephone, just received the final version of her save-the-date video. It's incredibly unique and so we had to share it with you. Make sure to read the write-up from Persephone before watching!
"As a bride working in the wedding industry wedding planning can make you slightly jaded, because it's hard to find truly unique ideas that have never been seen before. Our goal with the save-the-date was to "set the stage" for what our guests could expect, get them excited and also have it be representative of myself and my fiancé Eddie. I never thought having a videographer was something of importance to me, but when we came across Fandango Studios and the talent of Ram Hernandez it changed my outlook completely. On his blog he had showcased his latest work, a 'Save-the-Date' video that was shot more like a music video that you would see on MTV and we immediately knew that was what we wanted to do. We worked extensively with Ram to create the concept so that the video would be a direct reflection of who we were as a couple. We flew to our wedding destination location – Miami – to film all day and devised the concept around a romanticized version of how Eddie and I met, our love for salsa and all things Miami. It didn't take long for us to realize that what we were doing here was special. Who gets to spontaneously dance in the middle of the street while a videographer is on the ground filming your feet or drive with a camera strapped to the roof of your car? Filming was one of the most memorable experiences we have had together on this engagement journey and the outcome – the save-the-date video – is more than what we could've dreamt was possible."

Solwise DMP-1120w UPnP/DLNA network media player
Apple TV wannabe?
Posted in Personal Tech, 29th November 2007 14:35 GMT
Review From the Apple TV to D-Link's Media Lounge and Netgear's Wireless Digital Media Player there is currently no shortage of ways of getting PC-held content onto a TV screen and home audio system without wires. As with most things in life, while some of these products are of a truly fine vintage others prove to be merely vin ordinaire.
Solwise's DMP-1120w: links PC to TV, wirelessly
From those makers of home networking and sundry VoIP kit, Solwise, comes the DMP-1120w wireless UPnP/DLNA digital media player - a name that may have those not fluent in the acronyms of modern technology scratching their heads in puzzlement - is, alas, drawn from the latter keg.
The basic specification is nothing to get too wild about. There's no HD output and since the DMP-1120w has no hard drive, your PC, Mac or NAS box will have to be switched on continuously in order to get the most out of it. The box is unable to grab content off your machine on its own, which means that in order for it to work all your media will have to be logged in to Windows Media Player 11 or you'll need to install a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) complaint media server app such as TVersity or Media Tomb.
The DLNA media server option at least means you can use the DMP-1120w with a Mac or a Linux box as well as Windows XP and Vista. In addition to WMP 11 on a PC, we tried it out with Elgato's EyeConnect software on a MacBook Pro.
Niggling problems abounded from the off. Set-up should be straightforward: plug the box into the TV and follow the on-screen instructions and... well, for some reason it just didn't want to talk to our wireless router. It turns out the router was working on channel 13 and the Solwise box wouldn't acknowledge, or select, a channel above 11. Changing the router's broadcast channel really shouldn't be necessary to set up a media player like this, but in this case it was. At no point in our test did the Ethernet or wireless activity lights on the box so much as flicker to let us know a signal was being received, which didn't make matters any easier.
The UI's pretty basic
Having got a network signal we then had no sign of our laptop PC as a "Media Source". So we tried messing about with all the usual settings - firewall, WMP 11's media sharing options and the like - but still no joy. After some serious head-scratching we tried as an act of final desperation plugging an Ethernet cable into our PC from the router and suddenly we had media. Universal Plug and Play, our left foot!
Switching to the Mac, we had much the same experience. With EyeConnect's DLNA server up and running, the DMP-1120w took an age to spot it over a wireless network. Connection made - eventually - we started listening to music and watching photo slide shows. And then the connection dropped. One minute the DMP-1120w could see the server, the next minute it couldn't. EyeConnect was running, but Solwise's box couldn't see it. It came back - eventually...
Ambitions to be an Apple TV?
Now, we're happy to acknowledge that the user manual does say that running both the PC-router and DMP-router links wirelessly may cause signal congestion and delay when watching video, but having to hard-wire and part of PC-router-DMP part of the link shouldn't be a precondition for the system working at all, which it seems to be for reasons that frankly escape us. Duff wireless unit in the review sample, perhaps?
Will connect to an HD TV, but the output's SD only
Having added our iTunes music library to Windows Media Player we were more than a little alarmed to find that when they were called up on the TV screen all our albums now had fully alphabetised according to filename track listings, despite reading correctly in the WMP library.
To be fair, TVersity made an even bigger hash of sorting the media on our test PC. Adding the opportunity to access web-based content to take your mind off your now probably rather chaotic, and in our case partly missing, media library really isn't much of a trade off. There's no YouTube access, but the DMP-1120w will connect to Flikr and to internet radio station database Radiotime - though our favourite statiom, California's Radio Paradise, was missing from the list.
Given time and patience it may be possible to find a free media server application that the Solwise is happy to work with - EyeConnect costs 36 quid - but we can't help but think that this should be Solwise's job, not the consumer's.
EyeConnect made a better stab of things: our iTunes library, complete with playlists, came up on the TV screen, with the songs correctly listed by track number. No album art, mind...
Look, ma, no album art...
The manual lists supported video formats as MPEGs 1-4, Motion JPEG, DivX and XVid. Well, maybe in an ideal world they are but how do you actually add MPEG 4 files to the media library of WMP when WMP won't recognise them as playable media in the first place? When we tried playing an MPEG 4 file off an SD card all we got was a flashing pink and green TV screen which meant that AVI files were the only ones we actually managed to get to work at the end of the day. DivX downloads should have no problems, though.
For a machine that needs Windows Media Player to drive it, the fact it won't play WMV files seemed just a little strange to us. We suspect it may also rule out access to some rather large collections of 18-rated video as WMV seems to be the preferred format of said... so we are told.
Pick your preferred transitions...
Next, we tested the DMP-1120w's photographic abilities. JPEG images that looked just fine on our laptop screen appeared on our test Samsung LCD TV with a truly terrible colour balance, especially those shot under artificial light with strong colours in them. Incidentally, JPEG is the only image format the box supports. But at least you can turn off most off the clunky slide-transition effects and just fade from one to the next.
...and peruse your pics
Upsides? The ability to play media directly from SD, Memory Stick or CompactFlash (CF) cards is handy. We couldn't get the review unit to accept a 4GB CF card, but the principle's sound. While this might sound like an alternative to keeping your computer switched on, flipping cards and and out really isn't a good idea. Fortunately, the DMP-1120w has a USB port too, so you can hook it up to an external hard drive.
But if you do, you're back to tracks being listed alpabetically by filename rather than by artist, title, genre or whatever. You can make things easier for yourself by organising albums into folders, and the Solwise box does have a Folder-based navigation option. But the default is to list the drive's music, movies and photos in three long lists.
Still, unlike the irritatingly HD-only - well, ignoring hacks - Apple TV, the DMP-1120w is happy to work with standard-definition TVs, via component- and composite-video ports and a Europe-friendly Scart connector. It has stereo audio RCA jacks too and a digital optical audio output.
No HDMI, but it does have Scart
And the UI isn't as bad as some we've seen. It's basic, and not as neat and tidy as the Apple TV's - it's certainly not as smooth and responsive - but it works, and with music at least relies on metadata rather than file and folder names for ordering - though we suspect having a smart DLNA server app goes a long way here. EyeConnect was clearly clever enough to present the files using the metadata when WMP 11 wasn't.
The Solwise DMP-1120w will only set you back 42 per cent the cost of a 40GB Apple TV box, but you won't be getting anything like 42 per cent as good a system. Still, if the extra £116 for the Apple rig is too much, you're a DivX buff, or you don't mind keeping your computer on all the time, the DMP-1120w is a cheap, frill-free way to get your content onto your telly.

What adhesive to repair a roll roof?
I had an flat, roll roof--I believe a bitoman (?) torch down applied six years ago, and the seams (mostly head laps) have come lose in many places. Estimates to repair (not replace) it are from $3000 to $16000 with no warranty. One roofer already repeaired a few seams (for $1000) that leaked immediately and he never came back either, so I have trust issues. Anyway, they said they would apply a sealer to the loose seams. This doesn't sound THAT hard, so I am faced with doing it myself. I have caulked the loose seams with Black Jack asphalt (I think) caulk, and I believe I now need to add a brush on adhesive. I am worried that I will use the wrong adhesive that will eat through or otherwise leave me worse off than before, or won't stick.
