XAO::ImageCache - Images caching by URLs stored in XAO::FS database
use XAO::ImageCache; # Making new instance of Image Cache object my $image_Cache = XAO::ImageCache->new( list => $odb->fetch("/Products"), cache_path => "/var/httpd/shop/product/images/", cache_url => "/products/images/", source_url_key => "source_img", ) || die "Can't make Image cache!"; # Init new empty Cache $image_cache->init() || die "Can't init new cache!"; # Start images checking and downloading to cache $image_cache->check();
When we store images links on own database we have no real images on own site. Some time it may be a problem cause images may have no right dimension or may be deleted from source site.
XAO::ImageCache made for cache locally images his URL stored in XAO Founsation Server. Also, images may be resized automaticaly.
This module provide easy methodes to scan XAO Foundation Server data lists, extract images source URLs from data objects, downloading images to local cache, resize local copy of image to feet in to given dimensions and store new local URL of image back to data object.
The constructor returns a new XAO::ImageCache
object. You can use it to make new images cache or check images of already existent cache.
my $image_cache = XAO::ImageCache->new( cache_path => "cache", # set cache directory to './cache/' source_path => "cache/source", # set source directory to './cache/source/' local_path => "images/copy", # (optional) try to resolve local urls cache_url => "images/", # set cached images (relative) path to 'images/' list => $odb->fetch("/Products"), source_url_key => 'source_image_url', dest_url_key => 'dest_image_url', filename_key => 'product_id', size => { width => 320, height => 200, save_aspect_ratio => 1, thumbnails => { path => '/var/httpd/shop/product/images/tbn', url => '/products/images/tbn/' geometry => "25%", url_key => 'thumbnail_url', }, autocreate => 1, useragent => { agent => 'My Lovely Browser/v13.01', timeout => 30, }, ) || die "Image cache creation failure!";
Number of configuration parameters should be passed to XAO::ImageCache to tune functionality.
Follow to CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS section to see what each parameter do.
If any of required parameter is not present error will returned.
Cache structure initialization.
Executed automaticaly if autocreate
parameter present.
Create image cache directory if non existent and thumbnail cache directory if non existent and defined as initialization parameter.
Goes through given XAO FS data list, downloads images from source url to cache and puts cache url into destination url key and thumbnail url key (where applicable).
XAO::ImageCache->download() will be executed for downloading each image.
Downloads image into cache directory.
If thumbnails
contains cache_path
parameter, thumbnail is either downloaded into thumbnail cache directory or created from downloaded image.
Source image URL should be passed as parameter. Source thumbnail URL is an optional parameter:
$img_cache->download($image_source_url, $thumbnail_source_url);
Downloaded image is resized if size
parameter present. Thumbnail is resized as specified by thumbnails
When reload
configuration parameter is not set to True value, image will be downloaded into cache only if image is not already cached or if cached image has a later modification date than source image.
Scaling image to given size.
Creates thumbnail image from given source image.
Source image path and destination (thumbnail) path should be passed as parameters:
$img_cache->thumbnail($source_path, $thumbnail_path);
Refer to thumbnail configuration parameter for additional information.
Removing ALL cache directory from disk.
Be carefully to use this methode!!!
Cache structure will be removed from disk completely! Set reload
parameter to True value to download images to cache without any conditions.
Log activities to file.
Name of a log file may be set using log_file
key of hash of configuration parameters or it will be a .cache_log
in cache directory if log_file
not defined.
Parameter should be an error or notice message.
File name generation for cached images.
Source image URL should be passed. Returned file name is an MD5 digest of the source URL converted to Base64 string with all non alpha numeric characters are converted to _
Location: http://localhost/icons/medbutton.jpeg provide file name: 4aFNA1utpmCNG2wEIF69mg.jpeg
Makes sure only file name friendly characters are present: all non alpha numeric characters are converted to _
The set of configuration parameters contain required and optional parameters.
Required parameters should be defined. Execution will be stoped if required parameter not present.
Optional parameters just configure aditional functionality and may not present.
- Path string where the cache should be placed.
May be absolute or relative from current execution directory path.
For example. Set it to ./cache
if you whant to place cache in cache
subdirectory of your script working directory.
- complet URL (or relative location) to cached images.
Place here your URL reflection of cache directory in condition with your HTTP server configuration.
For example. Set it to http://my.host.com/images/
if your HTTP server configured for provide access to your cache directory by hostname my.host.com
and location images/
. Cached images names will be added to image URL automaticaly.
- reference to XAO::DO::FS::List
object containing the data objects with Image source URL
Meaning, your data look like a XAO Foundation Server list of objects with references to images. This parameter should contain reference to to XAO::DO::FS::List object. This reference may be result of XAO::Objects->fetch() methode.
XAO::ImageCache will process each record of this list.
- data key containing the URL of source image.
Contain the name of key of data object containing the source image reference.
- data key for storing URL of image in cache.
Optional parameter cause image name in cache will be a MD5 Base64 digest of source image path where =
character removed, \
and +
translated to _
and -
To get cached image name
- Prefered image size may set as geometry
equal to geometry
parameter of Image::Magick module to pass it dirrectly to Image::Magick Scale function.
Other way to set the image size is set a width and height keys to preffered values.
If one of image dimension is not defined then corresponding parameter of original image will be used.
This way, image will be resized with same aspect ratio (same proportions) to the original image if save_aspect_ratio
parameter present.
Image width and height will be resized exactly to given size if save_aspect_ratio
parameter not present.
Parameter geometry
has higher priority and other parameters has no effects if geometry
For example.
# Size 320x200 as geometry settings %params = (size => {geometry => "320x200!"} ); # Size 320x200 as dimensions settings %params = (size => {width => 320, height => 200} ); # Feet size into 320x200 with saving image proportions %params = ( size => { width => 320, height => 200, save_aspect_ratio => 1, } );
- create or check cache content automaticaly.
If non zero value present, cache directory will be created and images checking will be runned. Otherwithe you should run init() and check() methodes manualy.
Existent cache directory will not be removed. You may do it manualy using remove_cache() methode.
- log file name may be defined.
- each image should be reloaded to cache and processed without dependance of source image modification time. Any conditions ignored.
- thumbnails creator configuration
Some thubnails configuration parameters may be set for automatic thumbnails creation. This parameter should contain the reference to hash with thumbnails configuration parameters.
Only path
parameter is required. Other parameters are optional.
path where thumbnail images should be placed.
URL for access to thumbnails directory. Same way as cache_url
Data object key name where thumbnail URL should be stored.
Geometry string to set thumbnail images size in Image Magick geometry format. May be set as dimension ("320x200!") or as persent of actual size of cached image ("25%").

The Frankford Special Services District will go out of business when the year ends, said Tim Wisniewski, its executive director.
A proposal to change the city's zoning code might provide a check to what members of the Frankford Civic Association have called a proliferation of rooming houses for recovering addicts.
Acting on tips, police have been making narcotics busts on the 4800 block of Griscom St., Police Lt. Robert Casselli said last week.
Bigwigs in government walk the streets of Frankford to get a firsthand view of blight.
Members of the Frankford Civic Association considered two zoning issues during their June 9 meeting, but the biggest topic discussed was a weekend flea market that has sprung up and has been growing on the 4200 block of Torresdale Ave. during the past year.
treasurer, Tim Wisniewski, pointed out that there were a few nearby facilities that aid recovering alcoholics and addicts.
"You can say it's not going to be a recovery house," Wisniewski said, "but forgive us if we're skeptical."

Michael Laudrup hopes his Swansea City team have learnt their lesson after a bout of complacency.
Their performance in a 4-3 home defeat by Norwich City on Saturday was not up to the standards the team have set themselves and the manager believes some of his players had started to believe their own hype.
Swansea's seven-game unbeaten run had included Premier League draws against Chelsea and Liverpool and wins over Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal, raising confidence and expectations.
Laudrup said: "I expected that reaction sooner or later. When you do well, suddenly the spotlight is on you, especially if you are doing well against the big teams, and in the last week everyone has spoken about us and we have been on national TV.
"When everyone tells you you are fantastic, you may believe it and you think you can play 10 per cent less – and if everybody does that you get punished.
"At half-time everyone switched on and we played very well in the second half, but it wasn't enough.
"I think the players realised you can't play at 90 per cent at this level, you have to play at 100. It's a lesson for us."

Continued from page 1
I vote for #4, Big Intuition as the winner. Evidence abounds, but here's just one strategic and significant decision that was driven by the gut-feeling of an experienced hand, as The Wall Street Journal reports:
"…the Obama camp decided to focus on the charge that [Romney] was an out-of-touch conservative—in part on the advice of Bill Clinton. During one meeting, in June at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago, with Mr. Messina and senior Obama adviser David Axelrod, the former president told them to avoid attacks on Mr. Romney's inconsistency. 'Look, flip-flopper can play both ways,' Mr. Clinton told them, meaning that characterization might actually make some centrists more comfortable with Mr. Romney on the theory that he would eventually drop his more conservative positions."
The Time article concluded that "In politics, the era of big data has arrived." I would rephrase it to say that "the era of labeling everything as big data has arrived."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The overwhelming majority of the focus on Monday in the aftermath of Major League Baseball's announcement of PED-related suspensions focused on the suspension of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. And understandably so given his lofty salary and career statistics, most notably being 5th on the all-time home run list...even though the impressiveness of that achievement is soured by his involvement with performance-enhancing drugs (PED).
However, of the other 12 players suspended on Monday, 8 were from the Dominican Republic, 3 from Venezuela, and 1 from Nicaragua.
This piqued my curiosity, so I retrieved some 2012 data on GDP per capita from the World Bank:
- The United States ranks 7th globally at $49,965 per capita;
- Venezuela is 70th at $13,475, The Dominican Republic is 86th at $10,204, and Nicaragua is 125th at $4,072.
Upon further review, I noted that earlier this year other writers have taken heat for pointing the finger at other high-profile Dominican players such as Robinson Cano and David Ortiz.
My goal herein is not to point fingers at particular players. As an economist, we try to understand/explain trends in human behavior using economic logic. The behavior to be explained herein is the seemingly and disproportionately high percentage of PED cheaters whose nation of origin is either the Dominican Republic or Venezuela.
I know nothing of the personal socioeconomic backgrounds of the 12 foreign players that were suspended on Monday, so I might be overgeneralizing. But if their family's socioeconomic backgrounds are consistent with the average GDP per capita of their countrymen as reflected in the World Bank data, then this at least reveals why there may be greater financial inducements for athletes in these countries to take a chance to skirt the PED rules if they view playing professional baseball in America as their vehicle away from poverty and towards their much more affluent neighbor to the North.
There are parallels with this discussion of socioeconomics and athletic participation trends in the U.S. In America, there are many instances (especially in sports like football and basketball) where kids hailing from less favorable socioeconomic backgrounds make a conscious effort to invest their energies in sport...partly because they may rationally view such behavior as their best shot at economic enhancement for themselves and their families.
Of course, as American citizens and growing up in the land of opportunity, there are more opportunities beyond the world of sports for those kids as well. The recent Great Recession notwithstanding, even kids from tough financial backgrounds have the chance to attend college, enhance their education, and find viable employment endeavors. Conversely, are the same degree and quality of educational and employment opportunities readily available in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Nicaragua?
I don't think so...and thus, perhaps this offers at least a partial explanation for why a disproportionate share of PED use among aspiring and incoming MLB players seems to originate from the nations in question herein. In short, perhaps such players are more inclined to cheat because of the perceived vast financial canyon between a life in America playing major league baseball versus their next best employment alternative if they were to remain in their country of origin.
There could also be institutional and environmental factors at play. At the institutional level, perhaps the system of checks and balances (for whatever reason) is comparatively lax at the youth and college-aged level compared to what may be true in the U.S. Perhaps players are less educated on the facts as well. At the environmental level, if the incidence of use among younger players is proportionately greater in these countries, this could induce greater peer pressures which would reinforce the greater likelihood to use.

Demographics are the characteristics of a population. That's what a presidential candidate needs to fundamentally understand to win votes. When only white people voted, then only white people mattered. But just like fall foliage, Americans demographics are changing colors.
Read Whole Story
Diversity and inclusion require commitments to action. They are not passive words to put into mission and values statements, but actions one takes that demonstrate the commitment.
Demographic trends suggest that this paradigm shift will only loom larger in the years to come. The implications of this change should not be underestimated; this is an incredible moment for progressive politics, and 2012 simply marks the beginning.
Yes, I am a Republican, an Evangelical Christian, and a conservative. And yes, I campaigned and voted for Mitt Romney. And no, the GOP cannot go on with business as usual or it risks becoming irrelevant in the new America. In fact, the Republican Party needs a total body makeover.

Dental phantoms are devices used for practicing in dental universities. The dental phantoms resemble the anatomy of the skull and all the anatomical structures in the maxillofacial region. There are different type of phantoms depending on the exercise you want to create. Some of the phantoms contain only the cheeks, the gums and the teeth. Others include muscles, the tongue, blood vessels and nerves. Some are connected to devices that are constructed to make signals – visual (the eyes of the phantom turn red), or sound signals (they turn on when you are about to reach a main blood vessel or a nerve branch)
Nowadays every dentistry college uses phantoms in the dental education of students.

text: LHC Offline Until Spring of 2009Sean Fallon9/23/08 3:00pmFiled to: lhcLhc shutdownLhc problems'LargehadroncolliderPhysics science cern repair problem36EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink It looks as thought the magnet situation that shut down the LHC last week is going to take even more time to correct than previously feared. In order to fully investigate the problem, researchers have decided to hold off a restart until sometime in the spring of 2009. Robert Aymar, director-general of CERN called the situation "a psychological blow," but getting this beast is in good working order must be the top priority. Apparently, the fire department rushed to the scene after a little over a ton of liquid helium leaked into LHCs super-long tunnel, causing around 100 of the magnets to overheat. Take your time guys—we don't need any more drama with a device that could bring down the world. [BBC]Reply36 repliesLeave a reply

Well, since in this section there are many times the same question, I decided to do a "F.A.Q." to keep the best information grouped. I will try to do my best, if you have suggestion,please share them. Don't use this topic for doubts. Hardware Questions both for Notebooks and Desktops: What mac do I have? You can check you machine specs using the system profiler: apple logo=>about this mac=>more info. graphic made by simsaladimbamba If your mac doesn't boot to MacOS, you can check up by its serial number, using this website. What is the maximum Ram that my mac can take? and wich ram it is? and where do I buy it? The maximum ram that your mac can take and it's type is given on everymac.com or using the application mactracker, if you search by your model. Be sure that the ram that you buy is low density. Ram can be bought on several places, but the best bet is crucial (for new ram). For used ram/lower prices check ebay, there are many people selling ram pulled out from working macs, or even oem ram proved to work in mac (low density ram, check the feedback of the seller. Remember, high density RAM is cheaper than low density ram, so if a user is selling mac ram at higher prices, maybe he is not fooling you). What is the maximum HDD that my mac can take? and wich type it is? and where do I buy it? Well, one more time you can check everymac.com or mactracker to know what type of hdd do your mac take, if it is IDE or SATA, 2.5' (laptop) or 3.5' (desktop). Some macs have a 128Gb limit on the "onboard Ide", I don't know about notebooks, but the list of desktop computers are here: Power Macintosh G3 - Beige Power Macintosh G3 - B&W Power Macintosh G4 - PCI/Yikes! Power Macintosh G4 - Sawtooth Power Macintosh G4 - Gigabit Ethernet Power Macintosh G4 - Cube Power Macintosh G4 - Digital Audio Power Macintosh G4 - QuickSilver '2001' (733MHz, 867MHz, Dual 800MHz) There are some "solutions for that: 1)SpeedTools ATA Hi-Capacity Driver - http://www.speedtools.com/ATA6.html 2)Open Firmware hack: source 3)SATA/IDE - PCi cards- this go for 60-80 dollars, and can be found on OWC, ebay and maybe other stores. I have IDE type hdds on my mac, but they are becoming scarce and the prices are becoming higher, is there a solution? If you have a laptop, or a desktop with limited size for hdd, guess you have to stay with IDE hdds. For those who have plenty of space (powermacs for example), you can use sata HDD's with SATA to IDE converter. They are available from ebay at something 3euros shipping included, or 40eur in other stores. It's up to you, guess you wouldn't notice any difference I heard about SSD's,can I have one in my mac? it only has IDE ports Most ssd's are available only with SATA interface, although as covered before if you have a desktop, you can either use the SATA to IDE converter or a SATA to pci card. For Laptop users there are only two options: 1) IDE ssds - they are scarce but they exist! OWC has a high variety of sizes and there is the 32Gb Transcend. 2) Compact Flash (CF Cards) - CF cards are like "mini ssds", although the performance is worse than a good ssd, it benefits from the "almost zero miliseconds" time acess. The CF cards can be used through adapters (to desktop 40 pin IDE (desktop) or 44pin IDE (laptop) available on ebay for something like 3/4eur),these adapters can take one or two cfs. Because of the size, cf cards can fit on laptops with the adapters. CF Cards are good alternatives to people who don't need much space (32Gb of a good CF (2x16Gb 400x or more) is almost the same price of an IDE SSD) but want more speed, less noise/vibration (the problem of high speed 7200rpm HDD's in laptops) and a little more battery. Don't buy a CF with speed less than 233/266x, it will be very slow. more options and info here My mac only has a CD-Reader, I want to put a DVD, where do I buy them? In this part I don't have sure, but I guess you use any ordinary pc optical drive, if you then use patchburn. If you don't want to risk, search for mac compatible drives. Can I upgrade my processor? Laptops - I don't have great info about this, but I guess only the powerbook g3 allowed processor upgrades (check OWC site, Sonnet, Gigadesign, Lowendmac.com for more info) although be aware that a faster processor will probably produce more heat and consume more battery. *Under construction* Desktops - g3's, g4's do have processor upgrades,either swap from newer machines to older (for example, the dual g4 500MHz fit in some Sawtooth (it has to have a Uni-N revision 7 chipset). CPU Upgrades Reviews Here OWC has a high range of cpu upgrades,although you can find it on ebay too. G5's don't have processor upgrades. *Under construction* Can I upgrade my Powerpc processor to an intel one? Short Answer: NO Long Answer: the most that you can do, is taking all powerpc stuff inside your case and put there and "hackintosh".That will take you time,and some do-it-yourself.
How can I add Wifi to my mac? First of all, get some info about Wifi protocols: here. You will find that N protocol>G protocol>B protocol in terms of speed.. I will divide this into parts: 1)For macs with the Original Apple Airport Slot here are the options that fit in that slot: 1.1)Original Apple Airport - available on ebay from 20 to 50eur 1.2)Non Original PC Cards with a little DIY: DIY Guide here List of the PCCARDS/PCMCIA cards here 2)For macs with the Original Apple Airport Extreme Slot here are the options that fit in that slot: 2.1)Original Apple Airport Extreme Card 2.2)Some Broadcom MiniPCI Cards (not mini pci-e!!!) this Broadcom 4318 MPG was stated to work in Lowendmac Groups for example 2)USB-Type Wifi Cards - this in my opinion is one of the easiest/cheapest ways of adding wifi to a mac. A 300MBps N Wifi usb adapter can be bought for less than 20eur. 2.1)Branded Cards - Conceptronics (for example SMCWUSBS-N3), Some Asus, etc..best bet, if it doesn't have mac drivers, try to know wich chip does it use, then go to the chip maker webpage and see if it has drivers for mac. For example,most of the cards today use ralink chips, most of them have mac drivers, although vendors don't say so. 2.2)Non-Brand Cards - ebay,just do the same thing that I said for branded cards (you can ask the seller too),will appear good examples like this ones: High Power 300Mbps Wireless N WiFi USB Network Adapter- - in the description: Supported OS: Window 2000, XP, Vista, Window 7, Linux and MAC OS X 150Mbps Micro USB Wireless N 802.11n/g WiFi LAN Adapter 3)PCI Type Wifi Cards - divided into two sections: 3.1)Native PCI Wifi Cards - one more time, search for the ones with chips that have drivers for mac, for example Realtek, Ralink. I saw a Conceptronic 300Mbps C300Ri V3 card for cheap on a store, downloaded windows drivers, and saw RT2860 (ralink chip), although when I bough it, the chip on the card was RT3062 wich doesn't have mac drivers on site...I tried the rt2860 drivers,and it worked! One more time, a search on ebay, will give you 300Mbps PCI Cards for about 20eur with mac drivers like this one (realtek): [URL="
3.2)PCi Adapters- mini PCI to PCI adapters, to make use of the mini PCI cards such as the original airport extreme or the "broadcom" ones. As far as I know, there are only B/G mini pci cards. I think that cardbus to pci adapters should work too. Here is a list of Mac compatible Wifi Cardbus (valid for laptops to!) example How can I add Bluetooth to my Mac? For those who don't any slots for bluetooth, the only option that I am aware are usb bluetooth dongles. If you a branded dongle, search for anything with broadcom chip (TRUST uses them for example), or again OWC. If you want the cheapest, you have a 5 dollar one here and I think the ones available @99pence on ebay are the same as that one (I ordered one to see!) For those who have slots for original apple bluetooth cards, just search on ebay for them, or take a look here then here (adding bluetooth to a G5). If you have another machine take a look @ifixit to know how to put it. Which webcam should I buy to use with my Mac? Of course you buy an use an Apple iSight, but they still have high prices compared to "pc" webcams. In this site and on the logitech site you can find mac compatible webcams. Other option is to use the Macam Driver with your webcam (or one in the list of compatible webcams)
Hardware - Desktops Only Most of the hardware covered before can be applied both to desktops (even those "laptop like" (imac,emac). This section will only cover the missing hardware modifications to desktop mac (powermacs). Can I change my graphic card? Yes, you have three options: 1)Buy a real mac card - with this one everything will work as it should, although you pay premium price for them. You can find them new on owc and sometimes on ebay. 2)Buy a PC Card already modded/flashed for mac - if you don't know anything about flashing, modding cards, but still don't want to pay the premium prices of Mac cards, this option is for you. Be aware that you may have sleep issues or so, and when buying the card, tell the seller wich mac you have! On ebay you will find lots of this cards, ati 9800, geforce 6200, 6800, etc.. I heard about this guy that sells some cards and there are more like him, specially in the strangedogs forum 3)Buy a PC Card, and turn it into a Mac card - If you know something about flashing/modding, and think that 90dollars for used and flashed ATi 9800pro is too much (truth is that they can be bought used for 30/40eur) this is for you. Lots of reading of The Mac Elite Wiki and the strangedogs forum will help you do it! Don't rush the process, and one more time,read everything carefully. Be aware of each model problems. My PPC Mac Desktop is dead, I guess it is the power supply,but even used ones are too pricey, what can I do? At least for some G3's and G4's you can mod an ordinary-easy to find-cheap to buy ATX power supply to work with it, here are some usefull links: http://atxg4.com/sawtooth.html http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ATX_G4_AGP_conversion/G4_AGP_to_ATX_case_pg2.htm#next http://www.applefritter.com/node/9274 Remember, the power supply is the hear of your system, go for a good brand (for stock g4's and g3's you don't need top notch power supplys, but something as LC Power should be fine in terms of stability and price) My Powermac has a busted fan, how do I know if the new fan has the same cfm (or more) of the old one? Here you have a list of fans used in powermacs, you can always compare. Hardware - Laptops and Desktops (emac,imac) This section will only cover the missing hardware modifications to laptop macs and iMacs and eMacs Can I change my graphic card? No. Can I change my processor? No. Can my ppc laptop have two finger scrolling?and gestures? Some ppc laptops can do 2 finger scrolling,using iscroll2. About gestures, read this thread. How do I monitor my battery on my ibook/powerbook? You can use Coconut Battery. It can show you the number of cycles and the health of the battery. Be aware that sometimes an "healthy" battery on coconut doesn't mean you are going to have a good experience with your battery. My Ibook G3 showed 92% health, although it lasted me 1h, and when it was on 30% it shutdown. How do I monitor my temperatures on my powerpc computer? Use temperature monitor or iStat Pro. Where can I find parts for my ppc mac? Apart from ebay and the marketplace here you can find other places and opinions about it here. Can I overclock my G3?G4?G5? G3: YES http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/g3-zone/yosemite/oc.html G4: some of them http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G4ZONE/g4yikesoc/ use google and forum search, there are threads and articles about it G5: NO! Recently a lot of info about overclocking ppc macs is here Is there a way to improve ATI RAge 128 performance? Grab a read here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1691634
Software Questions What is the latest MacOS that my mac can run? This info is available on everymac.com or mactracker. For those who like to "hack", and get a newer version of MacOS on it's unsupported mac, there is Leopard Assist and xpostfacto. Other option is installing the MacOS X version you want in a supported machine,then use carbon copy cloner to clone it to the machine HDD. I did this for my powermac g4..using my macbook!it worked fine!See more about this here. Can I run MacOS 10.6/10.7/10.8 on my powerpc mac? No Can I have iCloud on my powerpc mac? No.iCloud Requires 10.7.2. Althought some people claim to have synced iCal and Adressbook in unsupported system using tutorials like this one and this one. If you have mobileme DON'T UPGRADE! I learned the hard way.No "apple" sync with my powermac.Using google now. What Cloud services have clients that will run on my powerpc mac? 1) Dropbox - 10.4+ 2) Sugarsync - you have to use version 1.9.42 for powerpc 10.4+. 3) CXSync - 10.5 only,using a legacy version. 4) Spideroak - from my searches I've found that there is an old version that works on 10.4+ powerpcs, but I mailed them. Are there any software tweaks that I can make to make my experience better? Before installing MacOS: install only the languages that you need,along with extras/drivers. After installling MacOS: update it, uninstall the current version of flash with the uninstaller available here and install the latest version of flash available wich is 10.1.102.64 available here. See the section "Youtube is slow as hell,any tips?" for more info/tweaks about flash. After that the only tweaks that I am aware of, are: *Disabling the dashboard:Using Dashboard disabler or by hand using this tutorial. *Disabling the spotlight:using this tutorial. *Use some of the following apps to remove the intel code from UB apps and undesired languages: XSlimmer Trimthefat MonoLingual *Use Powerpc Optimized Builds of some software (mozilla has them): Camino, Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey PPC Builds I want to use freeware apps,where do I get them? www.opensourcemac.org sometimes you must search for old versions to use with 10.3/10.4, a good site for that is http://mac.oldapps.com/ You can find lots of abandonware in the Macintosh Garden Recently user gavinstubbs09 created this website, with a lot of apps too: http://ppcarchive.dyniform.net/ I need an office suite,what can I use? In terms of office suite,the recent LibreOffice has the latest version por PPC in all languages (for example,openoffice only had old versions for ppc-portuguese) and it is free. There are more free office suites based on openoffice, I will cover them later. If you want a paid one, the latest you can have are: Office 2008 - for 10.4+ iWork 09 - for 10.4+ For more ancient systems grab a look at powerpcusers.com I need spotify for ppc,where can I find it? Here. I would like to hear music online, what services/methods run fine on my powerpc? If like me, spotify doesn't run on your country you have some options: 1 - hear online radios on their websites (most of them have flash sites so it will consume a lot of cpu) 2 - using specific sites like grooveshark (I suggest the mobile site: html5.grooveshark.com) or ex.fm 3 - get some radios in .pls format and listen to them in a media player.For me iTunes uses a lot of cpu, so I use coreplayer. Are there any databases of powerpc apps? At least there are some blogs: PPC Luddite Mac Powerpc [PowerPC] Software Verzeichnis (German) YouTube is slow as hell,any tips? If you have the latest flashplayer,your best bet is to use Mactubes and play the videos through quicktime. If your problem is with flash sites,your best bet is trying one of the browser above. Don't expect miracles,flash runs poorly on macs,even on new macs the performance on macOs vs windows is very bad. *There is a new tweak to make PPC Macs run latest flash see this thread. *If you use Safari, there is an extension called YouTube5 which plays the HTML 5 version of the filehttp://www.verticalforest.com/2010/10/27/youtube5-version-2/ Some people tell that in certain sites if you use Safari and do this: It will play through quicktime. What browsers are available for PowerPc Macs? tenfourfox browser a firefox 24 port Camino, Firefox and Seamonkey PPC optimized Builds More Firefox PPC optimized Builds OmniWeb Browser Roccat Shiira Demeter Sunrise NagaraBrowser Stainless Webkit . Radon. I am tired of flashplayer, how to deal without it? http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1496149&highlight=flash I have a low spec powerpc mac,the MacOS versions that it run wouldn't serve me well,what do I do? Well, it's a fact that older versions of MacOS don't benefit of updates in some areas as java, browsers, etc...and some people just need those to make some necessary task. As a low end spec mac will not run/run bad a up to date MacOS,the best bet is linux. Go to the Linux part of this F.A.Q. to know more about linux. I'm forced to run a MacOS X lower than 10.5, what can I do to backup it like Time Machine does? There are several options you can use: carbon copy clonerr, superduper, iBackup or even Tri-Backup (paid) to achieve similar results to the time machine.. I need java 1.6, what are my options? If you are running 10.5, you can use soylatte as suggested by 666sheep here.Otherwise guess there are no options. Can I theme my tiger to look more modern? Of course you do, read about it in this thread. What is the best video player for a powerpc? Well there are lots of them, the most famous are VLC ,coreplayer (paid but claimed to be one of the best performing media players for powerpc, you can use discount code: MBHD20), Miro, Movist ,Perian, XBMC and MPlayer, and here you can find a tweaked version of it claimed to be one of the best players for G4 (and maybe others too). Do yourself a favor a take a good read on This article by our friend zen.state. Other good threads to read are this one and this. I have a phone that I want to connect/send sms/sync with my powerpc, how can I do it? First of all, see in the manufacter support page if you phone has a suite for mac, or an isync plugin. Some Nokias and most Sony Ericssons do.If not you can try googling about it (Sometimes people do isync plugins, and there are the paid Novamedia ones. Other options (not only to sync but to send sms,make calls,etc) are this programs: BluePhoneElite - you can download it and try for 14days, since it isn't available to buy, contact the owner or use google for the complete version. MegaCellX - MegaCellX is shareware, so you can try the software before to buy it with some limitations. In order to eliminate the limitations it is necessary to buy it. GSMRemote - This application is shareware (US $10). You can give it a time-unlimited test drive. In the past I used bluephoneelite sucessfully with Nokia E51,E52 and others.And the others were the ones compatible with my black and white phones such as the siemens SL45i. Android phones do airsyncing, read here: http://www.google.com/sync/mac.html There's no need to buy app's or isync plugins.To send sms from the computer you can use AirDroid. Well I'd like to play some games on powerpc, wich ones run on it? Well you have a very good list here wich say if the games are powerpc,intel or both. But do yourself a favor, search for "games" on powerpc forum,only titles, you will find some free/opensource games that will entertain you. You can try macintosh garden, there are lots of games there. I need to run windows,can I? Natively no. By virtualization,yes,using Q emulator or Virtual PC 7 for Mac (you must buy it on ebay or something). I would like to have wikipedia offline on my ppc, how can I do it? See this http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1284808 topic. My computer is having problems, I don't have the original cds, how do I check the hardware? Well, every Apple computer has an Apple Hardware Test (AHT) Cd that comes with it. SInce you don't have it, download it here , burn it to a cd, and run it.If possible in loops to test further. If it doesn't report any error, it doesn't mean you don't have hardware problems, but it is unlikely that you have. If you suspect that your problem is a faulty memory, use Rember to test it. Oh and remember, reseting PRAM and NVRAM as stated here can solve a lot of problems. After running this ones, running Onyx or disk utility to fix permissions or a fresh install is a good idea. I want to put an SSD, what are the optimizations that can be made? Read here
Rational Questions I have PowerPc Mac,would it be wise to upgrade it? Guess it all depends on a bunch of thing: wich mac it is, what it is going to be used for, what software/hardware do you have/need. example - someone has maxed out (ram and hdd) powermac g4 gigabit ethernet and uses it for photo editing,and has all the software bought for it (and it won't work on intel),guess it is worth spending 200/300eur on a used cpu upgrade. If the upgrade value is about 600eur,maybe it is better to switch to better powermac (g5 for example) (I guess that "pro" software costs a fortune). I have to buy a desktop Mac,should it be and intel or a powerpc? example 2 - someone has about 800eur to blow on a mac.The use is going to be surfing web,and ocasional photo editing,what is better?new mac mini or good powermac g5 quad? Guess the mac mini will be a better choice,adobe will not upgrade flash for powerpcs,and with the mac mini you have a whole possibilities of new software. I have a powerpc computer, what do I do with it? For god sake, use search! Here you are, millions of thread with millions of suggestions for your old,not so old, trashed, not trashed, given, not give POWERPC Mac: http://forums.macrumors.com/search.php?searchid=25217654 I have a powerpc computer, what upgrades should I do? If you are too lazy to read the whole first part of this F.A.Q. or you still have doubts on wich upgrade you should go, use search: http://forums.macrumors.com/search.php?searchid=25217671 Linux Questions I've heard that linux is only for CLI type guys and that you must spend about a whole day to set it up, is that true? Of Course not.There are lot of things you can do using CLI/Terminal, it is one of the most powerful "apps" in an operative system, but these days is linux can be very user friendly (in distros like ubuntu,lubuntu,mintppc e somehow debian too). Setting up linux nowadays can be somehow easy, there are lots of tutorials, lots of info, but nothing better than to try. Why should I try it? If you don't want, don't try it.Don't blame it if you don't want to spend a little time searching and trying. But if you want to use powerpc securelly and have new versions of apps, linux is your only bet. There are even apps that don't have mac powerpc version but do have linux powerpc version (texlive,librecad ,etc) Where should I search for simple and forwarding info about installing and living with linux? I suggest you to read this two blogs: http://powerpcliberation.blogspot.pt/ http://ppcluddite.blogspot.pt/ There lot's of info on google, and specially on the distros websites, although this blogs have more simple info. What distro should I choose? Here you have some of the active ppc distros: http://linux.wikia.com/wiki/Category:PowerPC_distros http://blog.finnix.org/2011/08/14/powerpc-distributions/ Although for a matter of user support I guess the best bet is a debian based distro (ubuntu,lubuntu, or even mintppc) or debian itself. But go ahead try it all =) They are free! In terms of requirements/footprint, here are some numbers of different Desktop Enviromnents in Debian ppc: http://powerpcliberation.blogspot.pt/2013/06/debian-unrelenting-quality.html With this you can "know" that for example Lubuntu (LXDE based) will eat less memory than Ubuntu (Gnome based). OMG OMG I installed the X Linux Distro and my Sound/Wifi doesn't work,what now?Damn stupid linux! Linux is not macOS, it is made for lot's of hardware, so sometimes things require a bit of work. Sometimes you only need to install "non-free" packages, that have firmware for wifi cards,etc For example for powermac g5 sound: http://bobjwoolsey.wikidot.com/getting-sound-working-linux-ppc for wifi: You have to install bcm43xx firmware http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx more resources here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ http://www.mintppc.org/content/user-experiences PS: sorry for my english.If someone has more/correct info,just tell and I will add/correct it here. Hope it helps you!
Great guide. Thanks. It's pretty clear that guy is lying. He's just modified the 'about this mac' identity and changed the desktop wallpaper. - He claims his 400mhz G4 is emulating a dual-core processor and an nvidia gpu with 'Q'. - In the videos, the frontrow gui is much faster than would be possible on his G4. - He made a post a couple of months before about modifying 'about this mac'. - His videos are suspiciously void of any proof whatsoever. - But most of all, you can tell he's lying by his strange attitude in his posts. It's impossible to run Snow leopard on a powerPC and even if it was possible to do so through emulation, it would be completely impractical. No offence, but I think you may as well remove your reference to that guy. It's only giving him attention.
Thanks I thought that thw whole thing could be made up,but I've already seen many strange things in the "pc" world (like an Athlon XP with an "evil" bios modded bios beating an Athlon 64 in benchmarks) so it wouldn't surprise me if the whole thing worked. But I removed it already
Well Guys,I updated the "browser" part,added OmniWeb Browser and the "PCI Wifi" part, now I cant tell for sure that the Conceptronic C300Ri V3 Card works with powerpc macs with the ralink RT2860 Driver Wifi 300N to my powermac
For highly multithreaded stuff the quad G5 will out run an Intel Mini, but it is a dead end architecture and has seriously bad coolant issues.
thanks for taking the time to write this some was familiar, but some was definitely new. i might look at the linux side later this year.
I can't enter the "wich is best" because I have none to test, but I believe both are right. Thanks.I am an huge linux fan, and tried to run it (ubuntu and debian) on my powermac, but couldn't succeed, although there are lots of tutorials and positive experiences from people with powerpc macs
you can easily overcome the 128GB limit, by installing an OS higher than 10.2.8, because it is an OpenFirmware related issue, not the controller (as I thought a long time, too). If you need OS 9, then you have to use OS 9.2.2 and make partitions not higher than 200GB. This is officially said by apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2544?viewlocale=en_US
WARNING! I have to apologize. I got this wrong: though one can easily (mis-)understand it the way I understood it, member zen.state recently told me, that I interpreted the text wrong. It seems that apple wants to say, that if you have a Mac without the 128GB limit, you have to install 10.2.8 or higher or 9.2.2 (with 200GB partitions)! Sorry, for spreading sh**

Venus all smiles after straight sets win
Venus Williams had every reason to smile on Monday as she defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3 7-6(4) to advance to the quarter-finals at the Miami Open.
LONDON England's Premier League clubs are expected to agree rules on Thursday to ensure that a 5 billion pound television cash windfall is not frittered away in higher pay for players.
Featuring clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, the 20-team Premier League is the richest in the world for revenues. However, clubs spend around 70 percent of their income on lavish player wages, leaving little over for profit.
Alarmed by the state of clubs' finances across the continent, European soccer's governing body (UEFA) has introduced rules that will force leading teams to move towards breakeven or face exclusion from its competitions.
Top leagues in Germany and Spain have already adopted financial controls for their clubs and the pressure is now on the Premier League to act.
"It's very positive. We can only encourage the Premier League," UEFA General-Secretary Gianni Infantino said this week when asked about proposed curbs.
Most clubs agree that something needs to be done but the exact details of cost control have been the subject of hard bargaining over the last few months. The agreement of 14 of the 20 clubs is needed for proposals to advance.
Arsenal and Manchester United are among top clubs who have cast aside long-standing rivalries to push for full adoption of UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) breakeven rules.
Chelsea, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and winners of the Champions League last season, want club owners to have more freedom to spend to build a team.
Chelsea, who in any case say they are on course to meet UEFA's rules, are expected to back a compromise on Thursday which would place a ceiling on owner investment and cap annual increases in a club's spending on player wages.
Critics of FFP argue that it will reinforce the balance of power in the Premier League and prevent clubs from emulating the rapid ascent enjoyed by Chelsea and Premier League champions Manchester City in recent years. City's rise has been underwritten by cash from Abu Dhabi.
Premier League clubs stand to benefit from enhanced three-year TV contracts in August, having secured a 70 percent hike in the value of the domestic deal. Overseas rights with broadcasters including NBC in the United States are expected to push the total value of TV rights over 5 billion pounds.
The need to make best use of that bounty is focusing minds among club executives and adding to the impetus to reach an agreement on Thursday.

Like Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams's signature was bold, unmistakable, much in demand, and too-often forged. The subject of Williams autographs surfaced as the Splendid Splinter, the greatest hitter of modern times, made an appearance recently at his Hitters Hall of Fame in Florida.
Williams was once such a strong figure physically, with an equally booming voice, that it was wonderful, in a painful kind of way, to see his frail self rolled through the museum for television and other cameras.
Interest in Ted Williams autographed memorabilia has never waned since he decided, in the early '90s, to stop doing autograph shows. Enter John Henry Williams, son of the legend, who joined him in Florida with the notion of managing his father's fame and guarding against numerous excellent forgeries. Through what would become the Green Diamond Family Enterprises, and later Ted Williams Family Enterprises, dealers confidently added genuine articles to their inventories.
The younger Williams also would exploit his father's famous name in many enterprises -- a number of them stoutly funded -- which ultimately would fail. Yet, they afforded John Henry one handsome lifestyle; however, those are stories outside the focus of sports autographs.
There is reason to believe that Green Diamond's inventory may not be as flush as one might suspect, some dealers still contend that John Henry may be stockpiling bats and photos in a temperature-controlled warehouse in Florida.
In terms of supply, let's be clear. The Red Sox slugger, baseball's last .400 hitter, has signed very few items in recent years because of his failing eyesight and otherwise poor health. Before he reached the current state of deteriorating health, John Henry had Dad on a demanding, even taxing regimen for signing items -- balls, photos, prints and bats. Oh sure, it was for the fans, thus it was justified.
Others close to Williams said the process was almost abusive, given how quickly Williams tired, and given how diligent personal caregivers carried out their duties in pushing to get inventory signed. They reported on how John Henry was adamant that no autograph requests get past the cash register without payment.
Ted reportedly would fight with his son about the money aspect of this. He would do anything for a former ball player, especially one who could use the cash, and particularly one who had served his country as Ted had.
Williams would ultimately win his share of these battles. A few cynics, and even former teammates who saw No. 9 on television, however, figure John Henry pulled off this publicity stunt to support exorbitant prices on his signed inventory, all of which is available through a new website, www.tedwilliams.com.
On balance, though, and in the face of a turbulent family life, John Henry has proven to be a superior caretaker, even in times when his father simply is unable to sign any more.
All of which takes us to the marketplace. Ted Williams-signed baseballs typically go for $350 per ball. Green Diamond is selling balls signed in 1994 and 1997 for $699 apiece. Photos, such as those showing him in the cockpit of a World War II fighter plane; or torquing for his classic swing; and hitting a home run hit in his last at bat sell for $525. A signed photo showing him as a rookie, playing in an exhibition between the Red Sox and Holy Cross College, is offered at $1,200.
Prices, of course, are subject to change. These are also very high, probably double the market value.
Rich Altman of Hollywood Collectibles said Green Diamond is looking to its customers, including himself, to buy back items. He said Williams is a hot seller, hotter than Mantle and DiMaggio. "I sell three Ted Williams balls for every Mantle and DiMaggio," he said. Altman calls the $699 price "insane" and figures that will just send more customers his way.
Of course, when Altman and others are out of their inventory, collectors will be left with paying the "insane" prices over at the website, www.tedwilliams.com.
Altman also sold a signed replica jersey recently for $2,000. The jersey was a product signed exclusively in the early 1990s for Upper Deck. The Hollywood, FL., dealer has been Green Diamond's customer for quite a number of years. Altman said he once had a few hundred signed baseballs. He said he's now down to about a dozen.
Altman also recalls a time when John Henry was making the rounds at a show and approached his booth. He believed the Williams-signed baseballs on his table were questionable. Altman reminded the lad that that would be impossible since the items were purchased from him. John Henry shied away from the table and continued his search in the hall for bogus autographs.
Altman is still disheartened by the number of Ted Williams forgeries that fill Internet auction listings. "Most of the time the autographs are pretty bad," he said. "Some that are borderline are still very questionable. I believe we're seeing problems still coming out of California and the Northeast (where the FBI's Operation Bullpen took them a couple of years ago)."
Dealer Rich Albersheim, out of New York, is seeing a "ton of fake stuff" with regard to Williams items. "People don't want to pay what the family is selling the items for. Unsuspecting shoppers will see fake ones on the Internet for $100 and $150 and think they're getting a bargain."
Dealer Bill Diebold, of Everything Baseball in Oakland, N.J., confirmed that inventory is not forthcoming at this time from Green Diamond. The wholesaler he used to get Green Diamond bats from told Diebold that the Williams enterprise wouldn't sell him any more bats. "I had some bats four years ago and sold them," Diebold said. "I should have held onto them. The registered dealer said that all that was available were signed photographs. You can't get a ball or a bat."
Bill Nowlin of the Boston area, perhaps the most extensive Ted Williams collector in the country, said he has about 100 Williams-signed items, though that is likely a conservative figure. He's not looking for signed items, but in his quest for the rare Williams item that is missing from his collection, he's spotted "some really obvious" forgeries.
"I've been more concerned about them than I used to be," Nowlin said. "Once upon a time, I was too trusting. With his son's well-publicized campaign against forgeries, the forgeries seemed to die down. John Henry made himself a few enemies, but in the last year and half he's been by his father's side every day. A lot of people respect the way he has devoted his attention to that."
Dealer John Brigandi resists acquiring balls signed in recent decades. His focus is on vintage items, and the number of Williams-signed vintage items is small. A vintage Ted Williams signature on a ball from the years he played are in great demand. "That stuff is significantly under-priced," he said. He said a single-signed vintage piece would cost between $1,000 and $1,500. "That's reasonable considering how many there are," he said.
Brigandi added that he recently bought vintage-signed Ted Williams photos and put them away for a future sale. He'll gladly acquire team-signed balls bearing Williams's signature for less than $1,000. "He almost always signed on the sweet spot and always had a nice, dark signature," he said. Williams also was known to allow clubhouse attendants sign his name.
Anyway, "there's always someone looking for vintage items," he added. "That stuff is not around."

Futures and options contracts offer a straightforward proposition for commercial grain traders: If they allow you to do what you already do faster, cheaper and better, then use them.
So it is with CME Group's recently-launched suite of Short-Dated New Crop corn, soybean and wheat options, according to Howard Simons, a CME Group contributor and a former trader. If early trading in 2013 is any indication, these contracts will take their place alongside long-standing conventional grain options eventually.
According to CME Group data, 6,505 Short-Dated New Crop corn options traded on January 4, the highest for a single day since the contracts were launched in June 2012. Open interest as of January 8 totaled 10,576 contracts. Traders say the contracts are especially useful for tailoring strategies around specific short- and longer-term events, such as Agriculture Department crop reports.
"The greater the price volatility and/or the longer the time to a contract's expiration, the greater the cost of using options," a commercial hedger told Simons. "Thus CME Group's Short-Dated New Crop options allow us to manage new-crop risk at a reduced cost during targeted timeframes in the growing season."

I watched the episode as well, and as such I would agree they seemed to do a better job of incorporating EU in Ventress' background, Dathomir itself does not look anything like it's been described before. I'm also concerned to note that there seems to no distinctio between the Witches of Dathomir and the Nightsisters.
I'm not sure if it was just me or if anyone else thought of it. But I saw subtle allusions to other sci-fi classics. Battlestar Galactica and Dune to be precise.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, but freedom isn't free."
I noticed this too. Granted I always thought the Nightsisters should have escaped Dathomir in the Courtship of Princess Leia, then gone on to replace Palpatine (and the Sith) as leaders of the remnant of the Empire, but this feels like the whole of Dathomir is now just evil women non-sith. At least they're presented as powerful and on a similar level of skill with the Jedi and Sith. I don't remember them being quite that strong in the original book. Maybe I just misremember, but I did think Gethzarione seemed like she was potentially the female Palpatine, and was dispatched too quickly/easily. I love the Sith witch design though, I liked it more than Darth Maul's design, so I'm glad to see it given life elsewhere.
I may have to eat my words. Finally seeing it in HD, I see me some yellow eyes now that'd be hard to explain unless it's a dream sequence. Really hope that Ahsoka is not about to simply mirror Anakin's story, but something tells me it may actually be what would set her apart enough to survive the Jedi purge even if she ultimately did not lose herself to the Dark Side.

Great episode again this week though not quite as good as the last one. Had some very dark moments like the bladed whip thing that Ventress uses and when Savage kills his friend.
Really looking forward to the next one.

After the Nightsisters trilogy we're going to be getting the much-talked-about three parter dealing with the Force and Anakin's destiny as the Chosen One. Look who's going to be appearing to Obi-Wan in spectral form: http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/01/20/li...ars-exclusive/
Clone Wars just got a whole lot more interesting. Also, here are the synopses for each of the three episodes. Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled:
3x15 - Overlords
"Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano are drawn to the mysterious planet of Mortis. As Anakin learns about his destiny from a family of powerful Force users—the Father, Son, and Daughter—he faces his most difficult challenge yet. Can he bring balance to the Force?"
3x16 - Altar of Mortis
"As the Jedi attempt to escape Mortis, Ahsoka is taken captive as a lure to seduce Anakin Skywalker to join the dark side. As Anakin battles against dark forces, the Father attempts to stop a confrontation between his children, which threatens to unbalance the Force completely."
3x17 - Ghosts of Mortis
"Anakin Skywalker must choose between the light and dark side of the Force as he gains a disturbing insight into his own future. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka prepare for a decisive confrontation in their effort to unravel the mysteries of the planet. Can they ever escape Mortis?"

Is this another continuity issue? Yoda tells Obi-wan of the ability to communicate from the other side at the end of Episode III. If Qui-Gon appears to Obi-Wan in CW, wouldn't he know about it when Yoda mentions it?
I was thinking about that, and the answer so far is I dont know. Im sure theyve got something up their sleeves. In ROTS, when Yoda mentions it to Obi-Wan, his reaction is one of disbelief. Now, maybe he reacts like that because hes amazed that Yoda seems to have been in contact with Qui-Gon as well, and that it wasnt just him, which is what he first thought?
To be fair, we havent seen the episode yet. Ive got a feeling that Obi-Wan sees the vision because of this planet itself, which seems to be quite important. Maybe he didnt really believe it after he saw it and just put it down to the planet? That way, the disbelief he shows when Yoda mentions it to him, whos obviously not present when Obi-Wan sees Qui-Gon, is a reaction because he was convinced that it was just either a figment of his imagination or just a one-off event?
Sorry, thats the best I can come up with until I see the episode. Youll see it before me, as were a week behind in England.
Wow, they've been toying with the fans that Qui-Gon would be returning to actually bringing back Liam Neeson is a big deal.
The Star Wars guys are just as aware of the continuity as we all are. I'm sure they are going to explain meeting Qui-Gon soon enough and have it fit in with what happened in Ep 3.
You just read a post from the head Honcho of Nerds On A Couch!
I don't think it will actually be Qui-Gon's spirit in the episode, Obi-Wan just has a vision or an hallucination. There must be really good shrooms on that planet lol.
I'm really glad Liam Neeson is doing the voice, he's a great actor, but I wish it had been a flash back episode, like Obi-Wan remembering or telling a story to Anakin about an mission he and Qui-Gon went on. Would have been nice to see Qui-Gon and a young Obi-Wan.

If I were a little kid, I think that last episode would have freaked me out some. It was a pretty good episode.
Some other guest voices soon from theforce.net:
While on The ForceCast tonight, The Clone Wars Supervising Director Dave Filoni revealed some new information that should interest fans of The Force Unleashed and TCW alike.
"Coming up," Filoni told Jason and Jimmy, "You're actually going to have some people returning to portray characters in the Star Wars universe [who] have played [Star Wars] characters already. [...] I brought [in] Sam Witwer [...] and Adrienne Wilkinson to play characters in [TCW], though they are not playing the Secret Apprentice [...] or Maris Brood."
"I've met all the The Force Unleashed people," Filoni continued. "I know they're big fans of Star Wars. [...] I had some characters that I thought those two would suit nicely ... you will be hearing their voices in the future on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was great to have them become a part of the project. Sam is definitely one of the most knowledgeable fans of Star Wars I've ever met. To be honest, he is deep into stuff. That was a huge asset for me while creating the episode."
Jimmy did confirm with Filoni that Witwer and Wilkinson's voicework would appear in a Season 3 episode.
Anyway, Im pumped for whats coming up. It seems that Clone Wars is going to take a very spiritual tern.
And as for those two voice actors, Ive got a feeling theyre going to be playing those two apparent Force users in the upcoming three-parter.
Really enjoyed this episode again. I love how them are continuing from each other at the minute, its a lot better then the random order of the episodes.
A small continuity problem with the jedi knowing Darth Maul's name. In the past they've always referred to him a 'the unknown sith lord' or something like that.
I wonder if Ray Park will do Darth Maul's voice. I looking forward to seeing what Maul looks like, I really hope its like this:

Yeah, Peter Serafinowicz is on English television quite a lot. They would certainly have to get him if Maul were to ever appear. I shouldn't really be reading about Witches of the Mist, as we don't get it until next week over here.
I just saw Monster, though, and what an episode! Absolutely fantastic. All the political episodes seem to be no more than a blip now. Savage Oppress is a monster. Really, really good episode. Very enjoyable and quite violent, too.

Great little trilogy, and I am eager to see what becomes of Ventress now, as well as Mr. Oppress and his brother... (Heeheehee!!!)
This next set of episodes, however, looks extremely awesome, now, doesn't it? I woudn't worry about the continuity issue. I think that the properties of this mysterious planet are what leads Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to have their meeting. I think that Obi-Wan will feel that this is his only chance to have such a commune. In fact, this may go to explain why Obi-Wan's reaction to Yoda's news in ROTS is only that of fairly mild surprise, considering the idea of communing with the dead!

Okay I did not like that vision of "Older Ahsoka" her head things (I forget the term) were WAY too long.
And now I'm betting the evil Ahoska is just the dark force guy in disguise. He's already taken the form of Shmi.
"How I loathe heroes! Always getting in the way and acting so... so... heroic!"
please check out my fan fics at:
more questions than answers...
if the planet WAS the force, every reason to believe that COULD be Qui Gon in the spirit, and not the good alien in disguise..
It was actually a very good episode. I was intrigued the whole time. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
At least now I have hope for a Qui Gon Clone Wars figure.
You just read a post from the head Honcho of Nerds On A Couch!
Very interesting episode. I am very interested in seeing where else this trilogy takes us.
Qui-Gon could have been the Sister, but I tend to think that it was in fact him. I also think that Ahsoka's vision was genuine, as she's shown a propenity for having them. (I don't know why her lekku/head tails would be too long. Shaak Ti's are quite long.)
Having the Brother take the form of Shmi was very spooky, and the creatures into which they transformed were great.
I actually hope that the dark Ahska is not just another trick...

WOW! This episode was just amazing!!!
The planet is the force, they say it in the episode, and I see the daughter and son as being the light and dark side of the force with the farther being the balance or keeper of the balance. I think all three visions were either the son or daughter and not the actual spirits of Qui Gon and Shimi or a future version of Ahsoka. To say I hate the Ahsoka character I really liked the future version of her, she had a very Lady Galadriel feel to her and don't think her head tail's are any longer then Shaak Ti's are in the movies. I also much prefer Ahsoka new outfit, much better then the boob tube!
Was it just me or did that farther look at little like George Lucas himself?
I hope they explain the midichlorians further in this trilogy and tie them to the farther some how, like they were originally seeds he sent out into the galaxy.
The bit about Jedi and Sith being such simplified views of the force also ties quite well into some of the EU stuff like with Vergere and Jacen Solo.
The past four episodes have really turned this series around IMO, I wish it had been like this from the beginning, it just left my mind racing and visually it was also amazing!

d'Arenberg The Derelict Vineyard Grenache 2007
Grenache from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
A wine to watch evolving in your glass. Aromas of roasted meats, licorice, white pepper and sweet paprika emerge with maraschino cherries and blueberries. The palate is rich and soft, dominated by very pure, exotic, spiced red fruit and Turkish Delight notes. This is followed by savory edges of herbs, bitter chocolate and earthy leather flavors that are long, juicy and balanced with fine, lacy acidity and ripe, slippery tannins. This is real Grenache, at its best.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Medium red. Deep, smoky aromas of black raspberry, potpourri and white pepper. At once juicy and smooth, with intense red fruit flavors supported by a structural underpinning that is firm but not hard. Very grenache in its red fruits and spices. Finishes long and brisk, with silky tannins arriving late and adding grip. Drinking really well right now." -
Wine Spectator - "Dark and ripe, with distinctive cherry, floral and exotic spice aromas and flavors that keep going on the long, plump finish. Drink now through 2013. 400 cases imported." -
The Wine Advocate - "The medium ruby-colored 2007 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache is redolent of garrigue, lavender, and black cherry aromas. Ripe, smooth, and easy-going, this spicy, cherry-flavored, lengthy Grenache will offer much pleasure over the next 4-5 years. " - View All
d'Arenberg Winery
One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and Rhone varietals, d'Arenberg has managed to turn individuality into an art form by doing a whole lot of little things differently. The original vineyards were established by Joseph Osborn in 1912 in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia. A century on, the estate has grown to 345 acres, and the mantle now rests with fourth-generation winemaker, Chester Osborn. By maintaining a focus on traditional winemaking and nurturing their old-vine material, the Osborn clan has successfully established themselves as one of the country's leading producers of concentrated wines that are full of character. View all d'Arenberg Wines About McLaren Vale
View a map of McLaren Vale wineriesMcLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable Facts
In McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Dolphin id:37507 Product SKU:SB2A
The Electro-Voice® SB2A dual channel powered subwoofer is the ideal solution where big sound and compact portability are required.
Combining the amazing low-frequency performance of an Electro-Voice SB122 passive subwoofer with dual high-efficiency 350 Watt amplifier channels and a dedicated electronic crossover/processor, the SB2A eliminates the need for a separate amplifier and crossover to drive a full-range system. The second amplifier channel has a switchable high pass filter to allow either a passive full-range system (Zx1, Sx300) or passive subwoofer (SB122) to be connected via the Neutrik NL4 output.
A line level XLR output is also provided for daisy chaining to powered speakers or additional power amps. The SB2A signal processing provides a carefully tuned overlap to help round out the lower mids of the full-range system, creating a big full sound from a very small package. Like the SB122, the SB2A features a convenient pole mount socket on top of the enclosure to allow a small full-range speaker like the Zx1 or Sx80 to be mounted on the optional ASP-1 accessory pole. The result is a compact, self-contained 3-way bi-amp system that sounds much bigger than it looks.
