I see there's a firmware update out for the C50-30 with security updates noted in the changelog. Has anyone updated the firmware on a C50-30? Did it all go according to plan and the enclosed instructions? More importantly -- if it went wrong, how easy was it to recover?https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-A-B-C-N-S-Flex-Horizon/C50-30-SMMgate-firmware-update/td-p/3369769
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Can a Firmware Update and or Driver A Update Reversed? Firmware Printer And/or Can Update Be drivers on printers be reversed I am new to BleepingComputer so I do not know which Forum to post this to as this issue involves multiple forums Hardware HP Printers Software Firmware amp Drivers Operating Systems running Windows and Windows XP At my workplace we have many HP Printers on the network HP sent me a link promoting HP Easy Printer Care I figured I would try it big mistake because I take care of all of Can A Printer Firmware Update And/or Driver Update Be Reversed? the printers in our building So this Easy Printer Care tells me that there is updated Firmware for my printers So I get the firmware and install it Of course HP didn t really explain how to install it I had to look it up to actually do the install After installing it HP tells me that the Firmware Updates still need to be updated Now the end users are having problems when they print Multiple users are having the same and or different problems The problem that has the most reports to me are When someone is printing a document and they want to change it from portrait to landscape they click on properties and receive an error message that reads Function address x e a aa caused a protection fault exception code xc Some or all property page s may not be displayed Click OK Then another windows pops up saying Operation could not be completed Click OK The function address is always different for different users or systems The exception code is always the same The User cannot make any changes in order to print I have tried a hard reboot on the printers to default back to factory settings but nothing seems to change Am I doing that correctly Does anyone have any suggestions Please advise Thank you Gloria B
You can go to Device Manager and find the printer and in properties it gives you the option to "roll back" the driver to a previous version. A firmware update and driver update mean 2 different things, to me anyways. My understanding is a firmware update offers "improved" instructions to the onboard chip of the device. What does HP say about the problem?
I periodically check the website for my router to see if there are any new firmware updates. I checked it today and every time i try it says :
A New Version is Found. Do You Want to Upgrade to the New Version Now?
Firmware Version:
Current VersionV184.108.40.206 New VersionV126.96.36.199
I click Yes.
It then tells me that the update failed.
Any suggestions?

I don't know much about firmware updates as I never had to do it but my DRW-2014L1Tburners are giving me some coasters in vista x64. Not 1 coaster under Nero 6 in xp pro.
I got the driver update listing in the sticky, went to the asus site to check on a firmware update for my burner's for x64 vista and there are 3 hopefully that will eliminate the coasters.
My question is: If I get the updates for the 64-bit vista will that interfere with those drives when I use xp pro ?
PS: I use swappable drives; switching between vista x64 and xp pro.

Im not sure how to update my firmware. Im having trouble burning CD-Rs with nero 7.0 because it keeps coming up with this calibration error. I posted that thread in this same forum ( http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/453562-nero-issues-data-disks.html)
but it just leads to this new question about updating my firmware because it might be a possibility. Im also running SP1.
I went to this page called "the firmware page" link- (http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php) and searched for my Disk Drive but had no luck in finding it. Even if I were to find it, how would I go about updating it, and how can I tell if its up to date?

I have Aspire E 14. Last night, I saw I have 1 critical update for firmware v1.17. When I clicked the update button it just says "updating" It just goes on and is not stopping. I closed the portal and a window appears saying reflashing. I saw it did reflash up to 100%, but why won't the critical update notification disappear on Acer Care Center portal? I also checked update history and the firmware is not yet included. I tried it again the next morning, clicked the update button, but still, it just says updating and can go on until you close the portal. Any solution? Did my Aspire really did reflash?

Laptop is a Dell Vostro 1000 with XP Home SP3. Just installed a Crucial SSD. Works great. Tried to install a firmware update; not so great. Following the instructions from the Crucial site, I downloaded the update (it's an ISO file) and burned it to a CD. In the BIOS, changed boot order to CD drive first. Restarted the laptop. No joy - Windows still boots to the desktop. What could be wrong? I know almost nothing about using ISO files. TIA.
CD-image ISO files have to be written to CD in a special way, if you just copied the ISO file to a CD like a normal file, that won't work. There's a free app for creating a CD from an ISO file, it's called IMGBurn: http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn/
Hello, I have recently purchased an "Onyx Portable Media Player" by "Mach Speed Technologies". I installed the included drivers and software and am currently upgrading the firmware. The update window says "SigmaTel MSCN Firmware", so I'm assuming it's licensed by SigmaTel. It's updating from version 000.000.000 to 880.282.433. The window's progress bar seems to be stuck at "Initializing", with no advances made in the main progress bar but the smaller one constantly filling and then refilling. Is this just going to take a long time or is there something wrong?
I can provide a screenshot if needed.
Is this the media player firmware or motherboard?
Why did you feel the need to upgrade the firmware?
I have an Olympus Evolt-500 that won't update the firmware. I'm running XP pro with a DSL internet connection. I've talked to every tech support person Olympus has and they don't have a clue what's wrong.
It will recognize the camera and lenses but it will download from 50% to 83% of the firmware update, then a message pops up and says no connection to server and everything shuts off. They had me try the download with no firewall on and using just the modem no router. I've used Olympus Viewer, Olympus Master and Olympus Studio Trial version and they all download about the same amount before they shut down.
I'm open to suggestions at this point.

Well I don?t have a blank disk but I hit bootable cd anyway thinking it would create some file on the hard drive. Well obviously that?s not what it had in mind because my disk drive opened, I shut the disk drive and it started saying writing data to disk. HOW could it do that with no disk. I couldn?t close it. It then said installation succesfull. What the heck. I restarted my computer to see if I had screwed up my system and it seams to be running fine. Have I screwed up my hard drive? Did the dang update install? Can I delete these firmware updte files lying around on my desktop? Please help me????

Hi, I have a problem with OneLink+, where DP is not working. I believe a firmware update should fix this. The update.log which is returned from tp_onelinkplus_dock_fw.exe is: Version: 0.00.000Update result: 255Error description: Can't connect to Synaptics VMMxxxx DP hub IC The paradox is that I am trying to update the firmware to fix the DP and firmware won't update unless you have a DP already connected. In my quest to fix this, I have downloaded many files some of those where for an incorrect model, pressumably the other OneLink. I am now wondering if I have overwritten the firmware of OneLink+ with that of OneLink. Is that possbile?

I have a netgear wnr1000 v2. I have been in the router settings and had it check for the latest firmware. It tells me I have the latest and that version is 18.104.22.168NA. Now, when I go to the netgear website and look up my router here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/ it says the latest version is 126.96.36.199. So I download it and go to install it to my router and get the error "Firmware upgrade failed. Please check your file." I know it's the right file. Only 3 files are in the installation and they are .html, .img, and .txt, and the image file is the installation one.

Edit: According to samsung it does not wipe HD, but just wanted people who have done an "inplace upgrade" to answer.
Edit: It worked fine through magician.

First of all a firmaware update is not a "driver". all optical drives use the windows native drivers and only MS updates that. I have never seen a firmware update as you describe open a command prompt window. if Pioneer actually uses this method then you will probably have to set the command prompt to the location of your drive. ie; type the locaion ( drive letter of the drive you are updating) if your pioneer is the D drive then you would type D:\ and then press enter
Ye hi i have downloaded from Zyxels home page the latest Firmware and now my question is how do i update it? Because when i open the containing folder i have three files bin, pdf and rom.

You perform the firmware update from within the router's web user interface. Log into the router and there should be a option under one of the menus to upload new firmware to the unit.

In my opinion you should try removing the upper and lower filters in registry. Just follow this article:

Newer BIOS chips have what is called a boot block sector. When flashing the BIOS this part is not flashed. Basically all it does is run the floppy drive, and if you are lucky you will also get basic video. I have re-flashed a "dead" BIOS with this. The MB was manufactured in 1998. The first attempt at flashing failed-nothing but beeps on restart. I downloaded the correct Bios update, made a new floppy to flash the BIOS and reran the flash program. There was nothing on the monitor, just a black screen, but I could hear the floppy drive being accessed. Follow the flash utility instructions and let it do its' thing. It took several long minutes, but it worked.
I'm providing this link below. Do not hold me or vistax64 responsible.

Finally, you can approach your manufacturer of your PC or bios to purchase a replacement.

Hi All: Just purchased a LG GSA-4167B using a USB 2.0 connection via an USB 2.0 External Enclosure. The firmware version that came with the drive is version DL10. There are later firmware versions available, DL11, DL12 and DL13. I would like to update to the latest version, DL13. Can I do it by downloading the DL13 zip file and just unzipping it or will I have a problem because it is using a USB external connection. There are no instructions on the LG download site for a USB connected firmware update. Any insight would be most appreciated.
I've noticed a slow down in my Plextor PX-708A and thought that installing the latest firmware would a good idea.
The firmwares listed on the plextor site only listed for:
As far as i am aware my drive is just a Plextor PX-708A drive.
What are the 708A/UF 708A/UF2 drives??? How do i know if my drive is one of these?
Looking at this site:
You'll find that the "A" model is the IDE internal drive, and the UF & UF2 models are external USB/Firewire drives.
However, following the link from PX-708A to firmware upgrades did not show a download for the "A" model, only for the others.
I tried to update my dvd rw, but this is what I get.
Make sure that all other ATAPI devices are disconnected, if possible. If the drive is no longer under warranty, try the PS0B stock flash from CodeGuys. Using this patched version may invalidate any warranty.
But, what is the reason for the upgrade? They just as often as not lead to problems.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Sorry to hear of the problem you are having. Are you sure you got a BIOS Update from Windows Update? If you did, that is a scary thought. Windows 10 is good for giving you OS and driver updates whether you want them or not. Giving a BIOS Update is kind of over stepping their bounds IMHO.
Have you tried this.....
1. Unplug the charger / adapter. 2. Press and hold the Power Button for 15 seconds. 3. Plug in and power up the system to see if the problem was resolved.
If that didn't correct the problem, can you access the BIOS Setup by repeatedly tapping the F1 key when you first power up the computer. If you can access the BIOS Setup then your problem is most likely an operating system problem with a driver update Microsoft gave you.
Good Morning All I've posted to this site a few times with excellent results and fantastic support from the members thanks so much for all your help Here's a new one My Crucial C has firmware needless to say I've been having some issues BSOD's etc So I download all the updates gt gt gt and Trying update C300... to on Crucial firmware follow the Update Guide to the letter All is good and fine until I have to set my machine to IDE in order to install the update BIOS SATA controller says quot AHCI or RAID quot no other options Cannot update the firmware NO drive detected Tried RAID just in case Nope I have a Dell XPS and have an ASUS U S as well but connected the SSD to the motherboard as the guide said to do tried all the ports - nope I've set aside the time and patience to Trying to update firmware on Crucial C300... update the firmware to as well as reconfigure some things with my system 'housekeeping' if you will How do I get my machine into IDE mode And then back into AHCI when the updates are finished Did I miss something in BIOS Thanks again
Just a note of caution, I would recommend doing a full system image before updating the firmware especially since you are having issues.
I am not advocating updating the BIOS on the Dell, but have you checked Dell's website and the associated release notes for any/all Bios upgrades?

Samsung has recently posted firmware update EXM03B6Q for the 850 Pro on the download site.
I was unable to update via Magician so downloaded the ISO and ran it from a USB drive.
I was one of the lucky ones who didn't update to EXM02B6Q in Feb of 2015 which was a total disaster.
The update worked without any problems and speeds have not changed at all.
There is also a PDF installation guide for those who like to read first.
Don't forget to image the SSD first just in case. I did not, however loose data but better safe than sorry.

Using dell inspiron 5448 with HDD 1 TB + SSD 8 GB, windows 10, 64 bit working fine.
Found the new Seagate fimware on the dell support as follows
Seagate ST500LM000/ST1000LM014 Firmware Update
File Name: Kahuna V_ZPE.exe
Importance: Recommended
Description: Hard-Drive (47.16 MB)
Release Date: 09 Nov 2016
Version: DEMM/DEMN ,A05
The installation failed on my laptop with an alarm box showing unable to identify the boot partition, please use the USB boot key or CD ISO image of this utility instead.
Confused since installation instruction said just download and it will be automatically installed.
Called Dell but the agent said nothing they could do.
Any suggestions?
I suggest you right click windows logo (or click yellow folder), click and expand 'File Explorer', 'This PC', and then check to see if Seagate update is either in your downloads or documents. If yes, I suggest you open the file and click 'Run As Administrator'.http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19997181

I suspect that if your drive is not listed here: ALL FIRMWARE UPDATES - see here - Seagate Community Forums
Which I don't see, a firmware update is not needed nor compatible with the update.
Also read this: Does my drive need a firmware update?
I downloaded the firmware update for my CD/DVD writer. Burned it to a CD per the instructions and restarted the PC with the CD in. The PC restarts, reads the CD and then... nothing. No on-screen instructions, nothing.
The CD/DVD drive is bootable per the bios.
Any idea how to make this work?
It took me almost one hour to find this firmware update for my ADSL modem so that's why I uploaded it to Skydrive and make it hopefully a little bit easier for you.
My modem kicked me of the web a few times every day and then it also had a "broken internet connection" so that there was a little yellow notification triangle on the network adapters icon even if the "internet providers" signal was ok it couldn't connect...
Any how, I updated the firmware and I have been running it for a few days now and no connection problems.
Here is the link and there is also a manual included (and in the comments you can see a really short description on how to update the firmware).
I put in my IP address, and get to the modem. I believe there is a way to take my modem out of the mix and update the firmware on my Linksys router, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. I called Linksys, but they want me to sign up for 90 day tech support, and I need to spend the $$ on a new router if the firmware update doesn't solve my problems! :-/
Can anyone help me?
I have a Motorola SB6141 modem and a Linksys EA6500 router.

Last night I went ahead and took the plunge ... Updated the Firmware on my Archos 70 Internet Tablet 250GB (2.1.3 - Android 2.2.1).
My tablet still worked after the update. Slower than before though.
This morning I found out that I can't get online!
None of my four radio apps work (they all worked fine before).
Bible.is no longer works.
All three of my browsers no longer work.
Firmware Update doesn't work (can't connect to the Internet).
Wi-Fi shows that my Archos is connected to my Internet service. My son and I are both online with our computers, so there is nothing wrong with our Internet connection.
Looks like I have no choice now, but to reformat the Archos and start all over again (for the 4th time!!!!) .... That will be very time consuming, as I will have to download all of my many apps all over again, and then reload all of my files all over again ....
If your wireless network is encrypted, have you tried resetting the WPA key?
Just curious.

I would like to update the firmware of my SSD, INTEL SSDSC2CT120A3, but Google gives me results of Intel? SSD 330 Series. I don't know if my SSD model is Intel? SSD 330
I would recommend you start here:
Download Intel® Solid State Drive Toolbox
I have an ADATA S510 120gig SSD, i tried downloading the Firmware upgrade tool seen on this page
S510 SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive, Download, S510, 500 Series, Solid State Drive, Welcome to ADATA
I opened the tool and it didnt find my SSD drive. I then downloaded the file itself to try and manually install it but it is a "VIC" file, i dont even know how to open it.
Does anyone have experience with updating their firmware on these SSD drives? What am i doing wrong?
edit: after digging around on my machine i found that i have firmware 3.3.2 which is apparently the latest firmware out there right now (i didnt know that till i just found this info out, this machine is 2 weeks old)
I started my PC with a Linux live DVD (Knoppix) because my ADATA S510 SSD Device is my boot device and device with OS (W7).
So I run the Linux version of the updater (you must be root!) and all worked fine!
But: please check the signature (for example 22739) - it has to be in the filename of the firmware update!
Good luck
PS: my drive was not 3.3.2....now it is! I hope my problems (bluescreen) are gone now!

Nero Info Tool should tell you the drive's firmware: http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero8-tools-utilities.html
You can also run that same firmware update utility and I think it tells you if the firmware versions and if there's a newer version.
You can try the WinDVD trial: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ca/en/Product/1189528458632#versionTabview=tab1&tabview=tab4
You have a weak CPU and that may be the problem.
gang I've been web-searching for updated firmware or a way to do it on Hitachi travelstar internal 2.5" hdd... I have one that is producing frequent read errors, but running chkdsk the drive is 'squeaky clean' from a surface standpoint. I was hoping I might update..... can't find a thing
this drive failed the HP builtin [BIOS] HD tests, short and long, and failed the HGST diags tests, short and long [though the SMART status was all rosey ] Specifically the tests point to read-access failures which produce a string of Windows 7 system 'critical' events since the OS timing is scrambled by fetches that return no response.
nagging in the back of my brain is an ugly scenario: what if the issue is with the Mboard component? what would clue me in that the drive interface is at issue ? disc is a lot more likely I agree but it just doesn't feel like an ordinary disk fail

I flashed my Toshiba slim-drive SD-C2502 DVD-ROM with the latest firmware from Dell's website.
After it didn't work and it gives me the IDE #1 error before booting to Windows XP. I know I can eject before the error message but after that, it just doesn't eject at all nor detected.
I tried flashing it again but there is no drive it can detect to flash it. From the past, it seems like no way but I was hoping I can force flash it perhaps?
Any other suggestions would be grateful.
Heh. I hate to say it, but I think you're dead in the water. Up the river with no paddle so to speak. It sounds like you're going to have to replace the drive.

This is a follow up in a way I had asked about the N-routers and how to get good reception in a large house Based on the responses and reviews of this router Linksys WRT GL I chose this one router to do the trick with the option of installing another one upstairs to increase coverage if needed The price of of these was cheaper than one N router or a router and repeater The Lisksys software is pretty lame I was able to get my computer hooked up fairly easily but my roommate could not get online which is more important as update WRT54GL for Linksys Firmware I am on the road all the time and he is stuck at home I Firmware update for Linksys WRT54GL reset the router before I left so hopefully he can get himself hooked up before I get home in days The coverage seems great I get very good or excellent in all corners of the house I see things about installing a second party firmware to improve it further Any suggestions about which firmware and details about how to update and use this firmware Thanks nbsp
You need to find out why your roomate can not connect. Is it becasue of bad coverage? But, you said the coverage is great. If it is a secure network and your roomate is using the correct password/key, and if the coverage is great, then some setting issue must be dealt with in the roomate's computer.
Why do you need third party firmware for your router? That may not solve your roomate's problem, becasue as I said, it could be in roomate's computer. I have heard using third party firmware on Linksys gives much more features. One of them is to increase the power out of the router. But, again, all those feature may not help you with the problme that your have.
First do this on your computer, then on roomate's:
Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:
Type the following command:
Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:
Type the following command:
Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

Hello, I had no problems with the touchpad in my first two months of owning this computer. Recently when I try to use the touchpad, the cursor bounces all over the place and I have no control over it. This is espescially annoying when I am at work and need this to work correctly when I am gathering data in an excel doc. I noticed there was a 1.17 firmware update for the synaptics driver in the care center, but when I click to install it will run for a second and then say "failed". Just updated BIOS and every other driver I could think of but it makes no difference.
Hi ! Have you trying Unistalling the driver for the Touchpad? Must of the times unistalling the drivers and restarting your unit will actually fix the issue. If you access the Device Manager (Press Windows key +X)> Select Device Manager > Mice and other pointer device, Right Click> Unistall> Restart. Some updated on Windows sometimes will disable the proper Drivers for your unit. Hope this could help you!http://community.acer.com/t5/V-and-VN-Series-Laptops/Touchpad-firmware-update-VN7-592G/td-p/413929/jump-to/first-unread-message

We've recently installed a Level One FBR-1461 modem/router on a network with a fixed IP address. We need remote administration but that's not available with the early firmware version installed. A firmware update (via zip/afw file) was sent by Level One tech support in Germany, but not accepted by the router.
File is:
LevelOne-FBR-1461A-V1.35-RC24-180-80.3_sso_levelone.afw (about 3.5Mb)
I've tried shortening the file name to (perhaps) a more acceptable length, but the router will not accept the upgrade.
Has anyone else had problems or found a solution?
I'd contact LevelOne first, I suspect they can figure it out pretty quickly.
in case of Windows 10 clean install there is probably need for H5321 gw firmware update before Windows 10 driver installation. Where can i find that ?( without firmware update H5321 gw will just not work )

This computer came with a Blu Ray disc player BDDVDRW CH30L BC56. So far it has operated well but I recently purchased an SHM SACD the drive does not recognize the disc at all. Is there a firmware update or same way to get the drive to recognize the disc.The drive recognizes all other discs including regular SACD's but not the SHM SACD. I have tried several different software media solutions (Foobar, J River, Korg) that recognize DSD files and SACD's as well but when checking the drive itself in a "my PC" settings it does not show up as recognizing the disc at all. All software players say the drive is empty.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am able to play the SHM SACD on my Sony Blu Ray Player but want to be able to play the disc in my office on my computer as well.
Hi @rainwolf127, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I see you are having issues with your SHM-SACD format CD playing correctly. This is not a supported format.Please note that SHM-SACDs are fully compatible with regular SACD players, but they do not play on standard CD players. If you wish to say Thanks for my efforts to help, click the Thumbs up to give me a Kudos. Thanks.http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/BDDVDRW-CH30L-BC56-firmware-update/td-p/5602707
Hi everyone, I need to do a firmware update for my Panasonic Blu-ray player, and this is the first one I've done since I started using Windows 7. The update file has to be written to a CD-R using the ISO9660 format.
I'm not quite sure which CD-R writing software I should be using for this purpose. Is the provided ImgBurn utility suitable for this, and is there a particular option I need to use within it?
If ImgBurn is not suitable, can you suggest a good alternative product?
Many thanks in anticipation for any advice!
You may use Windows native Image Burner. Right click on the ISO image and proceed further.

I have been having a problem updating the firmware on my TRENDnet TEW-432BRP wireless router. When I try to update the firmware by going to the device webpage, I click on 'firmware' and click 'browse' to select the firmware file, the internet browser freezes and crashes. Any Ideas?
Doesn't make much sense to me; as soon as you click on 'browse' it really has nothing to do with the router I think.
With your browser if you do File - Open File... - do you get the same crash? If yes you have some general browser problem. If you don't crash this way I have no idea what's going wrong, and would try a different browser.
FWIW I am using the same router and, at the moment, Firefox 10.0 in Windows XP SP3 and have no issues with 'browse' for a file.

Winemaker Tasting with Thacher Winery
Posted by insidewine_sb on:
Dear Fellow Wine Lovers,
We bring Paso Robles to you!
Enjoy the hand-crafted, dry-farmed, Rhone blends and Zinfandels from award-winning Thacher Winery from the westside of Paso Robles with Sherman and Michelle Thacher. Not only are their wines terrific, but they are a wonderful, engaging couple that radiate the hospitality that makes their winery a must-visit in Paso.
We will have the back patio of Blush to ourselves--tented, heated, with the outdoor fireplace lit. Blush will be providing tasty appetizers to pair with our Thacher wine selections.
Here is the line-up of wines I believe we will be tasting:
· 2011 CONTROLLED CHAOS, Paso Robles (usual retail $42) 47% Mourvedre, 33% Zinfandel, 20% Grenache—each part is equally represented without anyone of them outdoing the other. This wine is delicious and approachable, a true crowd pleaser.
· 2010 GSM, Central Coast (usual retail $42) A pure, supple blend of 38% Grenache, 31% Syrah and 31% Mourvedre, the 2010 GSM dishes out loads of pleasure with a seamless, upfront and fruit-loaded personality. Exhibiting ripe black raspberry, toast, spice cabinet and plenty of licorice aromas and flavors, this plush, textured, medium to full-bodied, beauty should be enjoyed over the coming 4-5 years. WINNER! 2013 LA International Wine Competition "Best of Class"
· 2011 ZINFANDEL, Paso Robles (usual retail $36) Five different Westside Paso Robles' vineyards make up this blend, one of them being our own Kentucky Ranch Vineyard. This wine is ruby in color with notes of cherry, coffee, cinnamon, and molasses on the nose. The front of the palette has hints of vanilla that give way to a flavor of ripe strawberries. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with silky tannins, strong persistence and a bright jolt of cracked pepper.
· 2011 ViN ROUGE, Paso Robles (usual retail $38) A favorite blend of 74% Syrah and 26% Grenache -- very balanced and approachable. This is the perfect cocktail hour wine. Not over-powering or loaded with astringency. Medium bodied, fruity and a crowd pleaser. No fork needed.
About Thacher Winery:
"For decades quarter horses, cattle and cowboys roamed the grassy hills of the historic Kentucky Ranch. Today we are full of casual charm, reminiscent of California past and present. Since 2004 Thacher Winery with the grasshopper label, has been hand crafting wines from superb dry farmed and head trained vineyards found on the Westside of Paso Robles and in Southern Monterey County. Our boutique production of Rhone blends and zinfandels demonstrate local subtleties and true westside terroir.
The award winning winery and tasting room are situated next to a 90 year old barn with spectacular and ever changing vistas of vineyards, hay fields and oak trees. Thacher Winery and vineyards celebrate everything we love about Paso Robles and are sure you will too."
Hope to see you on January 16th! --Inside Wine Santa Barbara

Streak-wise, today is the Day of Damien (day 666 in case you didnt get "The Omen" reference).
Last week was a moderately good week. I had hoped to get more miles in, but oh well. It didnt happen. Today is the official start day of my Half Marathon training. I am following a modified Pfitzinger 70/18 plan for marathon training - basically going to keep everything the same, but will probably max out my long run at 17-18 instead of 22.
So this week I should hit over 50 and stay there from now till February, when I hope to get a nice PR in the half marathon.
Barefoot running is getting better too - I ran a 3.6 miler today (my longest ever) with minimal discomfort. Not sure what is going to happen with the BF running when it starts snowing, I will probably move to Vibrams, but I am going to try to keep as much full Bare Foot running as possible and would love to get about half my mileage per week barefoot by the end of the year.
Hope all is well with everyone. Sorry about the chart. I may just take it down for a bit, because I just dont have time to update it lately, and NOvember is usually pretty busy for me.
I am still going strong although gearing up for NYC this weekend. I crossed the 2000 mile mark yesterday and now I just need to make it to 365 days on November 14. Feeling good for the most part with just a few hip and heel issues.
Hope everyone is doing well.
In it for the long run..
"It's not who wins the workout..."
I fly.
If I get the flu or something, I'm done, but for now I'll keep going. It gets hard somedays when I would rather take a complete day off and not get out in the dark......
I'm at over 225. Not bad, but I've been wanting a break since my marathon. But truth be told, I'd miss running and know that I don't really want the break.
Bring it on.
Chicago RnR 1/2 Marathon
I knew it wouldn't last forever and my streak ended at 139 days, I am planning to start again tomorrow when I get home.
Vacation got in the way. I spent most of the day Saturday in the car and the night in a motel without a fitness room. I wasn't willing to go out by myself in the dark in an area I was unfamiliar with. I did go out the next morning and it was fine. Day two of vacation was another day of mostly in the car and a night at a motel in the boonies with no fitness area and the only way to get a run in would have been along a narrow two lane highway with no shoulders. I did get one more run in this week, but haven't been in an area where I would be comfortable going out by myself and with no fitness room available no treadmill.
While it's been a fun vacation, I'll be glad to get home and back to my normal routine. One positive side effect is that my sore butt seems to be okay now.
Marathon Maniac #991 Half Fanatic #58 Double Agent #22 It's a perfect day and I feel great!
Hello Streakers!
Today will be day 155! +1 to those that said if I get the flu, I'm probably done, but I'm streaking for now. I've run through a conference and a family vacation to Disney, so I gotta keep going!

Now, I ran through the flu a year and a half ago when I was only at about 100 days. Though I sometimes think I have more motivation to keep it going given that I am the administrator of this group - dont want to let you guys down.

Turkish gov't open to referendum to end protests
ISTANBUL — Turkey's government on Wednesday offered a first concrete gesture aimed at ending nearly two weeks of street protests, proposing a referendum on a development project in Istanbul that triggered demonstrations that have become the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 10-year tenure.
Despite the offer, protesters continued to converge on Istanbul's Taksim Squire, the epicenter of repeated clashes between riot police firing tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets, and stone-throwing youths for 13 days — an early sign that the proposal hadn't defused the demonstrators' concerns.
Word of such a referendum came after Erdogan hosted talks with a small group of activists. Many civil society groups behind the protests boycotted those talks in the capital, Ankara, saying they weren't invited and that the attendees didn't represent them.
The discussion was the first sign that Erdogan was looking for an exit from the showdown, and came hours after some European leaders expressed concern about strong-arm Turkish police tactics and hopes that the prime minister would soften his stance.
After the meeting, a spokesman for Erdogan's Islamic-rooted party announced the referendum proposal at a news conference.
In a more defiant note, Justice and Development party spokesman Huseyin Celik said the ongoing sit-in in Gezi Park, next to the square, would not be allowed to continue "until doomsday" — in a sign that authorities' patience is running out.
But Celik also quoted Erdogan as telling the activists he met that police would be investigated and any found to have used excessive force against protesters would be punished.The protests erupted May 31 after a violent police crackdown on a peaceful sit-in by activists objecting to a development project replacing Gezi Park with a replica Ottoman-era barracks. They then spread to dozens of cities, and have attracted tens of thousands of people each night.The proposed referendum would be over the development project, Celik said. But he said it would exclude the planned demolition of a cultural center that the protesters also oppose. Celik said the center was in an earthquake-prone area and needed to come down.Erdogan has become the centerpiece of the protesters' ire over his alleged authoritarian streak. So a referendum would be a political gamble that the government would win the vote and the demonstrators would go home."The most concrete result of the meeting was this: we can take this issue to the people of Istanbul in a referendum. We can ask the people of Istanbul if they want it (the barracks)," Celik said. "We will ask them: 'Do you accept what's going on, do you want it or not?'"In a sign of the protesters' suspicion about Erdogan, several in Gezi Park said they thought the government would rig the referendum's result — or balk at holding it at all."I don't think anything changed with that," said protester Hatice Yamak, of the referendum plan. "We don't think he will do it — I think he's lying."Across Turkey, thousands of demonstrators have been mobilizing nearly every night — mostly in Istanbul in recent days. As if to let the referendum proposal sink in, the Istanbul governor, Huseyin Avni Mutlu, tweeted that riot police would not enter Gezi Park on Wednesday.A union leader who met earlier with Erdogan suggested the government was preparing a final crackdown to quash the protests. Bendevi Palandoken of Konfederation told The Associated Press that Erdogan "told me that the protests will end in 24 hours, and the police intervention will comply with European Union standards.""Erdogan also told me he would meet with the youngsters today and will learn their complaints," Bendevi said, referring to Wednesday's talks. A spokesman for the prime minister could not be immediately reached for comment, and the Interior Ministry declined to comment.British Prime Minister David Cameron and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton were among the Western leaders who expressed concern about a crackdown overnight into Wednesday, during which riot police fired tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets to disperse pockets of stone-throwing youths among the mostly peaceful protesters.Turkey's Human Rights Foundation said Istanbul prosecutors were investigating allegations of excessive use of police force during the protests.The foundation said 620 people, including a 1-year-old baby, were injured during the police crackdown early Wednesday. Police detained around 70 people during the incidents. Prior to this, activists reported that 5,000 people had been injured or seriously affected by the tear gas and four people have died in the protests.Germany's government was "following the news from Turkey with great preoccupation, especially the images of yesterday's police action," Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said Wednesday. "Now de-escalation is needed. Only an open dialogue can contribute to easing the situation."A spokesman for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said police had detained two of its reporters covering the protests in Istanbul. The broadcaster was in contact with Sasa Petricic and Derek Stoffel, and they were in "good condition," CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson said. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird tweeted that he had called the Turkish ambassador to express his concerns.The protests took a new flavor earlier Wednesday as thousands of black-robed lawyers stormed out of their courthouses to deride allegedly rough treatment of their colleagues detained by police a day earlier. Sema Aksoy, the deputy head of the Ankara lawyer's association, said the lawyers were handcuffed and pulled over the ground. She called the police action an affront to Turkey's judicial system."Lawyers can't be dragged on the ground!" the demonstrating lawyers shouted in rhythm as they marched out of an Istanbul courthouse. Riot police stood off to the side, shields at the ready.The government, meanwhile, pressed ahead with uncertain efforts to defuse the protests.President Abdullah Gul, seen by many as more moderate than Erdogan, said the government couldn't tolerate more of the unrest that has disrupted daily life in Istanbul and beyond. He promised, however, that authorities would listen to protesters' grievances."I am hopeful that we will surmount this through democratic maturity," Gul told reporters. "If they have objections, we need to hear them, enter into a dialogue."Erdogan hosted 11 activists — including academics, students and artists — in his party's offices in Ankara. Some leaders of civil society groups, including Greenpeace, said they would not participate because of an "environment of violence" in the country.The activist group Taksim Solidarity, which includes academics and architects who oppose the development plan, said its members hadn't been invited to the meeting with Erdogan and predicted it would yield no results."As police violence continues mercilessly ... these meetings will in no way lead to a solution," the group said in a statement. It again demanded that Gezi should remain a public park, abusive senior officials should be fired, and all detained protesters should be released.Erdogan has said the protests and sit-ins are hurting Turkey's image and economy, being orchestrated by extremists and "terrorists," and must end immediately.
