I thank the member for Wright for that interesting contribution. I particularly liked the bucket analogy. I am still trying to work it out. It was an interesting analogy.

I want to say first of all how inspiring it has been to listen to the speeches of my colleagues on this carbon tax repeal legislation. This is an issue on which Labor are united. We believe that climate change is a real and significant threat and one that demands a strong response. Labor are united in support of a market based solution as the most effective and efficient way to tackle climate change. It has been inspiring to hear the passion shown by my colleagues—the passion they have because they obviously want to ensure that Australia does not take a backward step here, that we do the right thing for future generations and that we do the right thing for the planet.

We have known for some time that our sea levels are rising as a result of human induced global warming and the advice from climate scientists is clear on this. Most recently the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released this year told us that warming of the climate system is unequivocal and the sea level has risen. We know too that extreme weather events are increasing in intensity and frequency as a result of climate change. In Australia we do not need to be reminded about the devastation that extreme weather events can cause. It is something we all know and it is something we all fear. It is something, therefore, that we should be united in tackling.

Those opposite agree on the need to reduce carbon pollution. What we disagree on is how we should go about that. Labor will support the repeal of the fixed carbon price in order to replace it with an emissions-trading scheme. What we will not support is the removal of the fixed price on carbon if it is not going to be replaced by a carbon-pricing scheme that puts a cap on carbon pollution, that guarantees a reduction in carbon pollution.

I want to talk a bit today about the significance of the moment we are in right now. We are at a fork in the road. If we choose one course, we have an opportunity to position ourselves to make the most of the carbon constrained global economy that is coming over the horizon as a matter of certainty. We have the opportunity to ease the challenges that our children and grandchildren are certain to face. We have the opportunity to join our trading partners and our allies as they demonstrate to the world that limiting carbon pollution can be done and must be done. This is not about being a global leader anymore. That moment has gone. The global leaders have been operating in carbon constrained economies for years. This is about not being left behind.

Then there is the other course that we can take, which offers us a future that is not so bright. Along this road our children and grandchildren will face insurmountable problems and the costs, both financial and human, associated with tackling those problems. Along this road we will lag behind the rest of the world—lag behind our trading partners, our allies and our neighbours who took action when they first saw the opportunity and the need to do so. Along this road our future economic prosperity is at risk.

Yesterday I was talking to one of my staff members about the position that Labor has taken and the crossroads that we are at at the moment. I was saying to her that it is a bit like being in the late 1970s and being on our way out to get a VHS player. We had ordered it and worked out how we were going to pay for it and it was almost ours, but at the last minute we switched and decided to get a Beta, which we went on to regret for years to come. My staff member, who is a lot younger than me, said that a similar situation occurred in 2001 when people decided to ditch their brand-new Apple iPods for Sony MiniDisc players.

While these analogies might not be perfect, the message is clear. Moving away from a price on carbon is making the wrong choice. It is making a choice that Labor believes and that I believe Australia will live to regret.

Debate interrupted.

Binary Options Strategy – Consistency Is Essential

According to a business professional, a tactic refers to consistent behavior that makes the best of what you have, or perhaps an outcome of organized thinking that aligns personal motivation with the ideal income possibility. Both these descriptions ring true in the realm of binary options trading; every investor upholds a certain standard of constant habit so what he presently has will grow in value, or even he tirelessly organizes his ideas and actions so his attempts will yield him his intended income. These are the things that individuals who are thinking about trading binary options to improve their monetary resources must always take into account – reliability in traders’ judgments and also dispositions are of good value in the world of trade. It’s the main factor in avoiding losses and also effectively decreasing pitfalls.

So, if you’re creating a binary options strategy to improve your chance of success, make sure to be consistent in all the aspects of research, making calls, handling of finances, et cetera. To help you absolutely manage your attempts, listed below are essential tips for persistently getting transactions for this popular micro trade.

Generally, conduct a thorough record check on your investment opportunities and also the different factors that may influence them. Trading experts always state that nothing beats being properly informed in deciding which assets to invest in and finding out the amount of money to spend for every investment. Market behavior is quite unpredictable so disregarding to accomplish your preparation, most of the time, yields losses. Keep in mind that you’re a trader and not a gambler.

Be certain to put aside money for trading. Everybody who’s succeeded in binary options trading claims sticking to the budget that is allotted for the endeavor is vital. This “separation” strategy discourages them from moving beyond their budget and also making use of the cash they have reserved for other things.

Lastly, set aside enough time to enjoy profits and step back from the trade. Binary options trading can be very fascinating and the tension of anticipating market result often can run really high. Having time to recharge and also regroup will always be beneficial in maintaining a proper trading perspective and making smart decisions for your present and upcoming investments.

Operation Hands On, Inc, (a 501(c) 3 - Non-Profit Charitable Organization) has produced an award-winning documentary film about how a small massage therapy clinic in San Antonio, Texas developed new techniques and procedures to facilitate the recovery of military burn patients.

Our film tells the story of 7 servicemen and how the therapies they received advanced their healing and rehabilitation in ways that none of them ever dreamed was possible. Over the past 4 years, the therapists at San Antonio Massage & Spa have been able to greatly improve the lives of our severely wounded servicemen.

Our goal with the documentary was to educate the military and civilian populations, as well as to get the message to policy makers so that these therapies will eventually be included in the recovery protocol for all burn survivors.

Richard Branson to fund your business idea

April 15, 2013

Posted by Simon Misiewicz on 15th April 2013

Would you like to get a kick start investment from Richard Branson?

Virgin Media Pioneers offered four start-ups the opportunity to pitch their business ideas directly to Sir Richard Branson.

Individuals aged 16 and over were invited to apply for the Pitch to Rich competition, developed by Virgin’s online community for young entrepreneurs, for their chance to win a £5,000 package, consisting of £3,000 in start-up investment and exclusive mentoring and business advice.

The judging panel will identify runners-up whom will receive £1,000 worth of investment to kick start their business idea.Last year there were over 800 entries and the winner Dan Watson (SafetyNet) selling fishing nets that providedescape for smaller creatures captured by mistake.

Sir Richard Branson is confident that this year’s competition will uncover similar young start-up talent.

He commented: “Starting a business from very little capital is something I can relate to, but with a little backing early on and the right idea, anything is possible. “I’m looking forward to meeting some of Britain’s best young entrepreneurs to hear their ideas and help make some of them a reality.”

We are hoping that there will be a number of entrants from East Midlands going for this next year.

You will also be part of a network of young entrepreneurs that are looking for joint venture partnerships and advice.Why not go and have a look yourself and get even closer to Richard Branson.

Basta de chingaderas: Anaheim is not Selma!

 Powered by Max Banner Ads

Polarized politics has ugly manifestations, and Anaheim is no exception. The most visible expression these days are the city council meetings, both by council members and the public.  The loss of respectful civic interaction was already being felt in other citizens’ bodies, such as the election committee.  To a certain extent it was expected there due to the committee’s controversial purpose. I had heard that even one of the oldest city institutions, the Neighborhood District Councils, were also experimenting this phenomenon.

Last week I experienced this erosion of neighborhood congeniality in my district meeting. A city report was presented by Kris Murray, and the section of the report regarding investment decisions and the Angels negotiation’s was an obviously biased one.  She opened the floor for questions on this section of the report.  I asked a short question, and when I was formulating a second one I was cut off by a neighbor, whom I did not recognize.  This neighbor went on, and at the end of report Murray graciously offered me to ask my questions, which were about the objections that Mayor Tait had raised on the Angel’s MOU. Her answer was basically that she could not speak on the Mayor’s position so she wouldn’t risk misrepresenting him. Fair enough. Another neighbor politely expressed his concern about the City giving Moreno more than a reasonable agreement.

I have attended these meeting for many years, when they were held in the old senior center downtown, and hardly anybody showed up. Then the districts were reconfigured, and mine ended up meeting in my local Rio Vista school. We met for years there and the neighborhoods represented were mostly Rio Vista, Kodiak and MiraLoma.

These district councils were a requirement for the city to get funds from the federal CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) to finance projects in underserved communities. It was in those years, ten or more, when we voted as a CDBG priority project the park and community center in Miraloma, whose groundbreaking ceremony is going to be held on October 24th.

All of a sudden the meetings were no longer being held in Rio Vista!  Residents of Anaheim Hills took over the council, and since then most of the meetings are held in their area. I’ve attended only one meeting there, as the traffic and an agenda mostly dealing with Anaheim Hills issues discouraged me from attending. The political use of these council meetings, presenting biased reports, is one regrettable feature of these institutions. Another one is their further limitation on input on improvement projects, as the CDBG funds are no longer available, and the exclusion of those unable to be adequately represented.

The East District is an example of how political participation is influenced by one area over others. The Anaheim Hills residents rightly needed to have representation in these councils, the presidents from this area have been very sensitive of the other neighborhoods. The past president and Anaheim Hills resident, spoke in support of Mayor Tait at the infamous special council meeting. Nevertheless, for several years only Anaheim Hills residents have dealt with the city authorities in this capacity of council-district presidents.

In all those years, I remember only one controversial council member attending a district council meeting, a man from Anaheim Hills who was adamantly anti-immigrant. Last week’s meeting was held in Rio Vista, which normally are very small. When I saw Kris Murray as a speaker, and then Gail Eastman in the audience, I was quite surprised. They must be aware that they are polarizing politicians, and it wasn’t wise to foment further acrimony… unless they had a mission to accomplish, that being damage control.

The highly publicized attempt to curtail the Mayor’s authority in dealing with the Angel’s MOU had put them in a very negative light. This latest Liberal OC interview with Murray is yet another example of the council majority trying to save face.  Murray and company have already steamrolled most of their “economic development” agenda, delayed the democratization of the city, and stifled civilian oversight of the police. It’s now safe and convenient for Murray to present herself as smart and pleasant, which she may be as an individual, but in her public persona?  Not so much.

As long as the demands for genuine representation of our diverse population, for sensible investment of the city resources and for prioritizing the basic needs of neighborhoods with less resources, are not adequately addressed, Anaheim will remain polarized. Many of the causes of the fundamental problems facing the city are rooted in historical demographics, a largely white Anglo population who by sheer numbers controlled, and still controls, the economic, social and political power.

The problem is that the group controlling city government has been unwilling to recognize the magnitude of this change, not only in terms of demographics but also by failing to address the concerns and needs of the emerging demographic majority, Latinos and other minorities. In this regard, the current city council majority and their prominent supporters are largely responsible for the polarization of the city.

The patronizing lectures coming from the so-called liberal editor of the Liberal OC about the economic engine and civil discourse conveniently dismiss, or fail to connect, the disenfranchisement of large sections of the community, the pillage of the city resources in the name of questionable “job creation,” and the actions of those in power to maintain their hold in the city.

Most Anaheim residents understand the economic role of the resort/ tourist industry, the endemic problem of gangs and crime, the need to establish a trusting relationship with the police. I stated as much in my first blog post here.  As I learned more about the issues I realized that behind of these legitimate concerns there were different visions of how to address them. The best or naïve intentions came up against the reality of economic interests that cross party affiliations. How can the ARTIC station, or the trolley project, be considered sensible investment of city resources? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have the ARTIC, if needed, next a major train station? Giveaways to hotel developers who did not need them? The current allocation of city resources has been questioned by a city’s grassroots organization.

Anaheim is not Selma, as my friends at the OC Weekly recently wrote.  However, I ‘d like to remind them that the “at large (electoral system) violates the California Voting Rights Act… This clearly violates the voting rights — it dilutes the votes of Latinos in the city. And proof of that is overwhelming. From a social science perspective there is no doubt that the Latino vote is being diluted in Anaheim, according to a professor of Political Science and Chicana/o Studies, Dr Guerra.

There is a vibrant and vital coalition of Anglo, Latinos, Arabs, Asians, Conservatives and Liberals, affluent, middle class and poor residents united fighting the corporate takeover of the city, and demanding the democratization of our city. Let’s stay united.  ¡Basta de Chingaderas!

Organic Sector Losing Ground, Bad Economy and New Regulations to Blame

SPINACHFARMLet’s face it. The economy stinks. So it makes sense that premium goods, like organic foods, would suffer as more and more Americans try to save money.

From 1990 to 2007, the Organic Trade Association says the sales of organic foods jumped from $1 billion to $20 billion, but the honey moon is now over.

For example, one expert said the growth of Whole Foods’ organic sector recently dropped from 20% to 12.5% and some worry this level of growth may never be seen again.

And here’s where the plot thickens. Many organic farmers feel new government regulations—aimed to improve food safety—may unfairly single out small farms and cripple them financially.

New legislation will require the industry to fork over a $500 registration fee for each facility to pay for increased plant inspections. It could be even more if all these extra inspections result in additional expenses.

Big corporate food producers might be able to fit the bill, but the little organic farmer will be bankrupted.

Adopted by the European Council on 13 November 2012, the Regulation No 1151/2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (the so-called ‘Quality Package’) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on the 12 December 2012 and entered into force on 3 January 2013.

The new EU Regulation achieves a simplified regime for several quality schemes by putting them under one single legal instrument. Moreover, it creates a more robust framework for the protection and promotion of quality agricultural products including a reinforcement of the existing scheme for PDOs and PGIs.

Chase, Citigroup among banks reportedly hacked in $15-million heist

This post has been updated with information from an amended criminal complaint filed Thursday afternoon.

Hackers allegedly targeted 15 financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and E-Trade, as part of a nearly two-year-long scheme to hack into customer accounts online to steal at least $15 million, U.S. authorities announced this week.

"Cybercriminals penetrated some of our most trusted financial institutions as part of a global scheme that stole money and identities from people in the United States," New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said in a statement.

Eight men have been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit identity theft. The group’s two leaders come from Ukraine -- one was arrested as he arrived on an international flight at Kennedy Airport in New York on Tuesday. The leaders allegedly received help from three men in Brooklyn, two in Massachusetts and one in Atlanta. Four of the eight have been apprehended, authorities said Wednesday.

QUIZ: How much do you know about mortgages?

The other compromised banks and financial services providers were Aon Hewitt, Automated Data Processing Inc., Electronic Payments Inc., Fundtech Holdings, iPayment Inc., Nordstrom Bank, PayPal, TD Ameritrade Corp., the U.S. Defense Department’s Defense Finance and Accounting Service, TIAA-CREF, USAA and Veracity Payment Solutions Inc.

In a criminal complaint, authorities allege that the defendants transferred money from victims' bank accounts to pre-paid debit cards. They took the debit cards to ATMs to cash them out or used them to make purchases across the country. Much of the money that was cashed out was wired to the two leaders.

Some of those debit cards were secured in the names of individuals who had their identities stolen by the defendants, the complaint says That allowed the group to file fraudulent tax returns in an attempt to obtain undeserved refunds.

An amended complaint, filed Thursday against the defendants who have yet to appear in court, offered more details. Using “a variety of unlawful means,” the group gained access to the login credentials of more than 130 ADP customers. They used the information to hack into the accounts, transferring about $4 million. In a similar way, they obtained at least 40 Chase accounts, moving $60,000 to prepaid American Express debit cards.

One of the group’s alleged leaders, 33-year-old Oleksiy Sharapka, had been previously imprisoned in the U.S. for a similar conspiracy. But he was deported to Ukraine amid his sentence, and he allegedly began the new scheme shortly after.

Legal Microsoft suffered a stunning defeat on Monday when a European Union court backed a European Commission ruling that the US software giant illegally abused its market power to crush competitors. The European Union's second-highest court dismissed the company's appeal on all substantive points of the 2004 antitrustruling. The court said Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, was unjustified in tying new applications to its Windows operating system in a way that harmed consumer choice. The verdict, which may be appealed only on points of law and not of fact, could force Microsoft to change its business practices.

RE[4]: APIs
by MollyC on Mon 17th Sep 2007 21:30 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: APIs"
Member since:

I was a developer, but have (blissfully) retired.

You missed my point.

You concentrated on my talk of developers being unable to target a fixed API with your proposed "ALL API MUST BE INTERCHANGABLE" scheme, but missed my real point (for which I blame myself for conflating multiple points). But first I'll deal with what I meant regarding devs not being able to target a fixed API. It seems to me that a natural consequence of your scheme that all API functions be replaceable is that the user/OEM has the ability to rip out components without replacing them with anything. Meaning, that the developer cannot count on all functions that his program needs being present on a given system.

The other problem is that the user/OEM can replace API with clone-api dlls that work for crap, and the user won't know to whom to turn for support, since he has no idea who made the api modules on his system.

Other issues arise, as to the granularity of API replacement. Lets say I, as a 3rd party developer, want to provide a replacement for four OLE functions, but leave the rest in place. Can I? Or do I have to replace every single OLE function? This is your scheme, so you must have thought of these things.

Another issue arises regarding the use of internal API that dlls use to talk with each other. Maybe the dll that handles HWND talks to the dll that handles HDC through an internal, private API. Are you saying that all internal functions must be made public now? Because imagine that a third party dev wrote a replacement for the HWND dll but not the HDC dll. In order for his HWND dll to work, it would have to talk with the MS HDC dll as did the MS HWND dll. Would that not mean that the private functions that MS HWND DLL and HDC DLL use to talk with each other must become public (and replaceable) public API now? Does not your scheme, in effect, require tha all private functions be public API?

These are among the issues that arise when government starts mandating software design.

I also have to wonder, as a practical matter, why a user would even want to replace, say ole32.dll, with a third-party clone? What in the hell does that buy the user? Hell, what does it even buy the developer of that clone dll? Provide advertising possibilities? If the user launches an app that makes an OLE call, and ole32.dll has been replaced by Acme_OLE.dll, then ads popup all over the place advertising Acme Software Co? (Sun already does that today on Windows, where the first time that you encounter a Java page during a web-surfing session (in IE or FF), the JVM is loaded, during which Sun throws up a message balloon in the system tray, "You're now using Java! Click here (a link to sun's web site) for more info!". That is irritating enough already without introducing the possibility of similar behavior occuring with each and every call to an OS API function that has been replaced by a 3rd party equivalent.)

But let's put that aside. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that all functions, both internal and public, are replaceable and that all available replacements work exactly the same. This lets me get to my real, underlying point:

Do you support, philosophically, the notion that OSes must allow all of their API to be replaceable? Do you support the notion that big government should force OSes to allow the entire virtual memory manager or pieces of it to be replaced? How about the graphics system? The task scheduler? Etc, etc?

I want to see you guys take your argument to its logical conclusion, and openly advocate that OSes must allow each and every one of their functions to be replaced by a third party equivalent, as a matter of OS philosophy and/or as a matter of law. Do you support this or do you not?

Microsoft Strong sales of new and old products alike led Microsoft to its fastest first-quarter growth in eight years, with the company reporting growth in all five business segments and both revenue and earnings per share that beat analyst expectations. Revenue for the fiscal quarter ended Sept. 30 was up 27 percent at USD 13.76 billion compared to USD 10.81 billion a year ago, Microsoft said Thursday. Consensus estimates from Thomson First Call analysts were for the company to generate revenue of USD 12.57 billion. Microsoft's EPS for the quarter was USD 0.45, which also soundly beat Thomson First Call consensus estimate of USD 0.39. Net income for the quarter was USD 4.29 billion, a 23 percent increase over the USD 3.48 billion reported a year ago. At USD 5.92 billion, operating income for the quarter also had double-digit percentage growth: an increase of more than 25 percent over operating income reported for the same period last year of USD 4.47 billion.

The open source zealots will come out in force claiming those numbers can't be correct...they're published by they must be all lies.

While I am sure there will be plenty of people unhappy with this announcement, I think this kind of comment is more appropriate for someplace like slashdot or digg. Don't take the voting down as an anti-Microsoft sentiment, I own a number of shares in Microsoft and this announcement just made me a decent chunk of change on the stock market and I'm one of the few people that really likes Vista. I just like the idea of OSNews being slightly less full of these kind of comments then the rest.

First and foremost, the GAC is meant to cache NGENed assemblies and system components. It does not have any registry like functionality. So what are you trying to mean here? You may want to re-read your post.

Stop implying things, its obvious what I mean - reread what I wrote in that paragraph, I challenge you to find any factual error (here is the paragraph).

I am not aware that the .net is depended on the registry, in fact I have heard that .net was a way for microsoft of getting rid of dll/registry hell of COM/ACTIVEX. .net uses largly the GAC (global asembly Cash) for shared components, not the registry. For configuration it uses XML Configuration Files both on framework level as on application level.

The XML configuration files and MANIFESTs are mostly static and are meant to make it easy for editing by hand and are for setting configuration before the application loads.

You are not truthful, XML configuration files in .net are not limited to static data. Infact there are API to generate events when data is changed in configuration files.

And why are you talking about the MANIFEST? Its usage is for meta-information containing information about the binnary code, and is stored in inside the .exe and .dll, it has nothing to do with Application settings, infact the MANIFEST was invented by microsoft to remove the dependency of the registry, before .net microsoft stored this type of information in the registry (COM/ACTIVEX).

Application settings generated during runtime by a majority of .Net apps are stored in the registry.

Of course you can access/use the Registry from .net, as I am sure you can from JAVA too. And if you do that, your application is limited to Windows regardless if you use Java or .net. I manage a programming group developing in .net. None of our application use the Registry, or needs to use the registry. And if you read what Microsoft recomends, you will see that they recomends that application should NOT use the registry, and in fact allow XCOPY installation.

I was factual in what I wrote, and I acknowledged that some of microsoft implementation of .net depended on the registry and win32. You on the other side have been vague, and some of what you have written has been outright wrong.

Apple In what everybody already saw coming for weeks (months) now, Apple has just unveiled its latest product, a tablet called the iPad. Basically a bigger version of the iPhone, Steve Jobs presented the iPad during a press event in San Francisco. The most interesting news? It's powered by... An Apple processor, called the A4. The most shocking news? The price.

On one hand, it's basically everything a tablet should be and at, surprisingly for Apple and tablets in general, a reasonable price point.

Its missing one HUGE thing in my book.

No pressure-based stylus input.

Only reason I could see getting one of these is if I could use it as a portable easel. Otherwise its really nothing more than a larger iTouch.

Not to say there won't be some add-on down the line, but until I see one I'm not at all interested.

Legal Well, this is unexpected. The iPhone 4G saga just got a whole lot crazier - dare I say it, a whole lot more ridiculous. Have you ever reported anything like a phone or something similarly small stolen to the police? What was their reaction? Did you ever get the device back? Did they send an army of officers to get your device back? No? Odd. They raided Jason Chen's house, and took four computers and two servers. Update: And thus our true colours reveal. "The raid that San Mateo area cops conducted last week on the house of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen came at the behest of a special multi-agency task force that was commissioned to work with the computer industry to tackle high-tech crimes. And Apple Inc. sits on the task force's steering committee." Update II: According to TechCrunch, the investigation has been put on hold while the DA ponders Gizmodo's shield defence. Update III: Some legal insight from a constitutional law and first amendment expert and a law professor. The gist? The DA has said no one has been charged with anything here, making this just an investigation - however, this makes the search and seizing of material worse. "If the police are literally just gathering information, with no suspect targeted yet, then a subpoena against a journalist would have probably been smarter than a search warranted that resulted in the front door of Chen's home being bashed in."

I for one support what Chen did. Not because I hate apple, but because he actually made a good faith effort to return the device to Apple and they just ignored him.

Now I know they eventually got it back. So really this whole thing is pointless.

talking about dma... udma modes?

Discussion in 'Windows Desktop Systems' started by patheticgeek, Feb 11, 2002.

  1. patheticgeek

    patheticgeek Guest

    although all my drives are running in udma, xp ain't taking them to all their capabilities..

    my hard drives are udma66 compatible, the bios supports it, but xp doesn't go any further than udma mode 0.

    no prob, i haven't got the 80 pin cables, but windows could still go up to udma mode 2 (ata33) with regular 40 pin ones.. funny is, the cd-rom drive is reported by bios as udma33, and xp uses it as a 'udma mode 1' drive, and the disks, reported as udma66, are locked on to mode 0... annoyng, to say the least.. anyone know how to force the faster udma modes?

    (and has anyone got a solution for that irritating sound when playing back mp3's with the audioPCI 128, aka Vibra? no, the drivers don't fix it, pio modes, delay transaction, etc etc.. nothing works.. still trying to set pci latency to 0 through software , since the bios doesn't have it..)

  2. allan

    allan Guest

    To enable udma in xp, follow these directions:

    Add DWord Value , and then add the following registry value:

    Value Name: EnableUDMA66
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 1

    Also, you can visit:;EN-US;Q247951
  3. patheticgeek

    patheticgeek Guest

    well... same as nothing...

    i had already came across that article in ms knowledgebase... ignored it because it was directed towards intel chipsets (not my case... VIA), and i wasn't looking for udma66 support, just faster udma33... though it makes sense activating udma66, so windows can then choose the best possible mode.

    tried it, though.. no changes! still udma mode 0 on both hard drives!

    well, thanks anyway! all help is apreciated... :)

    best regards

    (btw... already tried via drivers and updates... but that VIA tool didn't seem to work..)

    mavis Guest

    I just posted this for Geezuzz and thought it might help you too...

    check out his thread (geezuzz's) re: DMA problems, I have a link there to the original post I made for another guy a while ago.

  5. patheticgeek

    patheticgeek Guest

    it can't be convinced...

    tried it also, but didn't worked... the problem here is not putting the drives working as udma drives (they already are!), but making xp use them as more than just mode 0 (the slowest udma mode) drives. (the increased speed is great for video editing.. without having to worry about getting expensive scsi disks!)

    will keep searching for a solution...

    again, thanks for the trouble. stay well..

    (and has anyone ever used the cd player in analog mode? it takes an eternity to skip musics!)

2009/09/09 – Texas Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting Report

No Gravatar

Texas Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting ReportWeekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February.

North Zone Dove: Dove hunters saw fair to good shoots around the Panhandle over cut corn and milo. The region has received rain during the summer so there are plenty of watering holes and playa lakes. Lubbock and fields north of Abilene were good for morning shoots of mourning doves. Fields along the Red River enjoyed steady flights of mourning doves near Paris and Bogota. Soy beans, sunflowers and corn fields have been the ticket. Treelines and watering holes have seen the best flights in the afternoon. The region has enjoyed above-average rainfall amounts for the year. Prospects are good.

Central Zone Dove: Generally, opening day of dove season was lackluster around the state, unless you were situated around the San Antonio township and feasted on the local flight of whitewings leaving the city to feed in agricultural fields outside of town. Sunflowers and corn yielded quick limits of whitewings in the morning. Castroville hunters also reported good shoots. Sabinal, Hondo and Uvalde saw good shoots as well. Afternoon hunters saw a steady flight as well. Sunflowers fields in Navarro and Freestone counties was fair to good. Hunters there reported seeing more mourning doves before the recent cool front. Public hunting fields near Liberty and Beaumont saw fair at best shoots for mourners. Fields north of Houston in the Cypress area saw better flights of doves last week. Fields near Waller saw limited flights as well. Fields north of Brenham enjoyed high flights of whitewings. Hunters situated around ponds and tanks took good numbers of mourning dove near Marlin and Waco. Sealy hunters saw their best action around treelines and cut rice fields — hunters reported excellent numbers of whitewings there. Katy, Brookshire and Hockley hunters saw slow action. Fields near Marshall and Longview saw half-limit shoots — many hunters there said they lost most of their birds after the last cool front. Prospects are fair to good.

Teal Update: The wettest areas of the state are in the Panhandle and Northeast Texas. Teal are beginning to show on playa lakes along the High Plains and on lakes and reservoirs in the northern reaches of the state. The coast is dreadfully dry. Freshwater marshes are parched flats of cracked earth. Salinity levels in brackish marshes are as salty as ocean water in most areas. Tidal flats should hold enough water for the opener with swelling tides prior to the Sept. 22 Equinox. Coastal prairies are dry as well, except for second-cropped rice fields. The good news is rice prices are favorable for most farmers to try and yield a second-crop harvest, therefore there should be more water on the prairies. Outfitters have begun to pump leveed ponds and fields and the bluewings have found the sweet water. Since the region is suffering from a severe drought, any watering hole is prime during the 16-day season, which runs Sept.12-27.

That’ll do for lunch

'In 1990, when I was Chief Executive of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, we put on a series of modern music concerts, under the title Musica Nova, the originator of this series being Sir Alexander Gibson. We were greatly helped financially by the City of Glasgow, which had been made City of Culture that year.

Among the composers featured was John Cage. I well remember meeting him at the airport, and taking him to Glasgow University. Cage was a great specialist in mushrooms, and on seeing some rather sad specimens growing on a patch of grass in the university precincts, he said ‘Ah! That’ll do for lunch.’ He invited me to join him, but I was cowardly enough to decline. I regretted this later, since, as the concerts progressed, I found he was one of the most delightful and engaging musicians I have ever met. His brilliant music made a great impact on the Musica Nova audiences.'
That previously unpublished reminiscence comes from an unlikely source. Former EMI producer and orchestra manager Christopher Bishop is best known for his recordings of Elgar and Vaughan Williams with Sir Adrian Boult, of Sibelius and other composers with Sir John Barbirolli, and of early music with David Munrow. But while managing the Philharmonia and later the Royal Scottish National orchestras he commissioned and programmed much contemporary music and his EMI producing credits include Messiaen, Webern and Koechlin as well as Britten and Shostakovich.

John Cage's interest in botany was reflected in his music and I was prompted to share that anecdote from Scotland by the release of a new CD which includes his Child of Tree and Branches I & II for amplified plants. These are on a new disc of Italian born and US resident Simone Mancuso playing solo percussion works for wooden instruments which also includes pieces by Salvatore Sciarrino (b1947) and Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988).

The three pieces for amplified plants are of particular interest as I heard Branches I & II in a rare concert performance at the John Cage happening in Bruges in 2008, which is where the two photos above were taken. This new disc from the Italian Stradivarius label is very welcome, but I have to express some reservations. The playing time of the full price CD is 46.40" and this includes Silences I, II & III which last for 11.00". The cover, seen below, somewhat misleadingly suggests the three silences are separate Cage compositions. In fact, as explained in the accompanying notes by Benjamin Levy, they are the silences of duration determined by the I Ching that are stipulated when Child of Tree and Branches I & II are performed sequentially.

But the problem with the silences is more than a typographical one. Benjamin Levy's note highlights John Cage's preoccupation with environmental sounds, a preoccupation which was expanded by the composer himself in an interview with Peter Dickinson recorded for the BBC in New York in 1987:
John Cage - It's the presence in those sounds of non-intention and the awful presence of intention in music that makes the non-intentional ambient sounds more useful. By more useful I mean less irritating.

Peter Dickinson - Do you mean more attuned to somebody's spiritual development?

JC - All of that - more possible to live affirmatively if you find the sound of the environment beautiful. Irish musicians had a contest of heroes and the question was , "What is the most beautiful sound?" The one who won the contest said the most beautiful sound is the sound of what happens.
The problem is that during Silences I, II & III on Simone Mancuso's new disc nothing happens. It may be because the silences were recorded in the same acoustically isolated studio (Gizmo in Silver Springs MD) as the Cage percussion tracks. Or it may be, as I believe is the case after listening on monitor quality headphones, that the three tracks, which comprise a quarter of the discs short playing time, are simply blank. Whatever the reason, surely this is not what John Cage intended?

Surely it would have been closer to John Cage's intentions if the 35 minute sequence had been recorded in a single patched take. This would have captured the non-intentional sounds of the percussionist rearranging his exotic performing materials and the engineer repositioning the microphones during the silences between the three works. But maybe I am wrong; guidance from the Cage authorities among my readers on how silences should be performed is welcome. Meanwhile there is a chance to hear Simone Mancuso's new CD, without the silences, in my Chance Music programme this Sunday (Oct 3), full details are below.

On Sunday October 3 I will be playing Simone Mancusco's performances of Salvatore Sciarrino's Il legno e la parola (a world premiere recording) and Giacinto Scelsi's Maknongan in their versions for marimba plus John Cage's three pieces for amplified plants on Future Radio. The stipulated silences are clearly not feasible in a broadcast, so I have adopted the following solution. Each of the five percussion works will be followed by a prelude or fugue from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier played on the piano by Bernard Roberts. The Bach preludes and fugues have been selected by chance using dice; proof that my method outweighs my madness comes in the form of the timings of the chance selection from the 48 plus the percussion works neatly fitting the length of the programme slot.

Even without the silences broadcasting the works for amplified plants presents a technical problem due to the very low level of parts of the recordings. I have consulted with Tom Buckham, the station's ever rotating manager, and we are fairly confident the silence detector is not going to kick in and take me off air. But the programme is being presented live on Sunday and, as ever, anything could happen. Whatever the outcome Future Radio should be praised for backing projects which nobody else would dare to, including the complete Alvin Curran Inner Cities and Gnawa trance ritual broadcasts plus, of course, the Jonathan Harvey interview and other adventurous experiences.

* Podcast of this Chance Music programme is now available here.

** The following instruments are used by Simone Mancuso in his performance of John Cage's three pieces for amplified plants. Branches with leaves, bamboophone (invented by Simone Mancusco), bamboo wind chimes, bamboo xylophone, pod rattle, water gourds, cacti (spider and golden barrel)), and shells from dried plants.

*** The John Cage interview quoted above is transcribed in the invaluable CageTalk edited by Peter Dickinson (ISBN 1580462375).

**** Amusing to note that Silences I, II & III can be bought as MP3 files at a cost of 79 pence per track.

Young Mahler

While on a long cross country drive on Saturday I heard Matthew Herbert's recomposition of Mahler's Tenth Symphony on BBC Radio 3 - there is a valuable video interview with the recomposer here. Kudos to Deutsche Grammophon, who take a lot of stick on this blog, for challenging silly conventions with this new release* which may well appeal to a younger as well as older audience. For me, no more justification is needed for the recomposition than Carl Nielsen's words:
'The right of life is stronger than the most sublime art, and even if we reached agreement on the fact that now the best and most beautiful has been achieved, mankind thirsting more for life and adventure than perception, would rise and shout in one voice: give us something else, give us something new, indeed for Heaven's sake give us rather the bad, and let us feel that we are still alive, instead of constantly going around in deedless admiration for the conventional.'
All of which leads me to the 2 LP set seen above. It is Simon Rattle's first recording of Deryck Cooke's revised performing version of Mahler's incomplete Tenth Symphony, made with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra for EMI in 1980 when the conductor was 25. (Deleted CD transfer here). I was involved in bringing this early digital recording to market; when I took the records down from the shelf to play as I write this post, I saw that the following copy, edited by me, is on the packaging:
In his biography of Mahler, Kurt Blaukopf wrote: "Mahler's prophecy 'My time will come' has been fulfilled in the 1960's. Many diverse factors have contributed to this, but perhaps the most decisive of all was the advent of the technically perfected stereo record'".
More young Mahler here while Beethoven is re-envisaged here.

* In an interesting twist I notice that the 37 minute Mahler recomposition is available at a difficult to justify full price on CD or for slightly cheaper on 180gm vinyl. "The advent of the technically perfected stereo record..."

More on irritating our fixed orders

Let the Gypsies come and blossom.
We miss them.
They can help us by irritating our fixed orders.
They are what we pretend to be; they are true Europeans.
They do not know any borders.

Please could a copy also be handed out to President Sarkozy?

Titi Robin's album Gitans, which is powered by the 'gypsy queen of Rajasthan' Gulabi Sapera, featured here. Germany's new generation of Gypsies are here, the forgotten holocaust victims are here, and before anyone points it out, yes, I know. Our pilgrimage to the gypsy shrine at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is here.

A genuinely forward looking work

While I was travelling last week the sad news came of the death of Geoffrey Burgon aged 69. Predictably the mainstream obituaries focussed on his music for the screen at the expense of his concert scores. As I wrote back in 2007, "Although his film and TV scores are well known, Burgon's concert music isn't heard often enough to generate letters of complaint these days. His choral Requiem is a genuinely forward looking work, wonderful scoring, and beautiful Kingsway Hall sound". Geoffrey Burgon was a distinctive voice who was not afraid to speak out pour encourager les autres. He will be missed.

He thinks completely with his body

Peter Brook told me that if you watch any cat, it isn't just that his body is so relaxed and expressive. It's something more important than that. A cat actually thinks visibly. If you watch him jump on a shelf, the wish to jump and the action of jumping are one and the same thing. There's no division. A thought animates his whole body. It's exactly the same way that all Brook's exercises try to train the actor. The actor is trained to become so organically related within himself, he thinks completely with his body. He becomes one sensitive responding whole, like the cat.

An ultimate example of this is revealed in a film of Picasso at work [see above]. In one lightning stroke you can see how the tip of Picasso's brush captures his entire imagination. His brushwork can actually be seen as his thought process. The same is true of the great orchestra conductor. After years and years of work, he thinks and transmits in one gesture. The whole of him is one.
From Conference of the Birds, John Heilpern's masterly account of the 1972 expedition that took the director Peter Brook and an international troupe of actors from their Paris base through Africa. Brook was in search of the miraculous and his experiments in Africa led to some of his most influential work including Conference of the Birds, Carmen and The Mahabharata. The collection of poems titled Conference of the Birds is by the Persian poet Farid ud-Din Attar. It uses a journey by a group of birds in search of the great Simorgh as an allegory of a Sufi master leading his pupils to enlightenment. As well as being adapted as a play by Peter Brook, Conference of the Birds has received treatments that include a work for piano and electronics by Ezequiel Viñao, an album by experimental rock band Om , an opera by Johan Othman and an ECM album by the Dave Holland Quartet.

After recording my recent interview with Jonathan Harvey I mentioned to the composer, whose three operas include the acclaimed Wagner Dream, that I was taking John Heilpern's book to re-read on my forthcoming travels. He told me that in the past a commission for an opera by him based on Conference of the Birds had fallen through - what a pity. The podcast of the Jonathan Harvey interview is available here. Peter Brook's 1989 film The Mahabharata features here while his earlier screen adaption of William Golding's Lord of the Flies (which had music composed by Raymond Leppard) features here. Finally a link to take this post full circle: thinking with the body is central to the Alexander Technique, which is practised by many musicians. My post on the subject contains some familar themes.

Classical music should drop its silly conventions

'Young people don't like concert halls... and wouldn't normally go to one except for amplified music. There is a big divide between amplified and non-amplified music... The future must bring things which are considered blasphemous like amplifying classical music in an atmosphere where people can come and go and even talk perhaps.. and certainly leave in the middle of a movement if they feel like it. Nobody should be deprived of classical music, least of all by silly conventions.'
That is Jonathan Harvey talking about the future of classical music in an exclusive interview being broadcast and webcast on Future Radio on Sunday Sept 4. Which is the day after the composer's choral work Dum transisset sabbatum is being performed at a BBC Prom.

Jonathan Harvey is seen above talking to me at his home in Sussex during the recording. In the interview he talks about musicians he has known including Benjamin Britten, Hans Keller, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Milton Babbitt and Pierre Boulez. He also discusses his deep interest in mystical religions and the musical topics range from the future of classical music to serialism and spectralism. The interview concludes with Jonathan Harvey giving an invaluable introduction to his new composition for large orchestra and electronics, Speakings, and this is followed by a complete recorded performance of the work.

There is some priceless material in the interview so it is being made available in several formats. The broadcast version is being aired on FM locally in Norwich, England and worldwide via the internet at 3.00pm UK time this Sunday Sept 5, with a repeat for North American listeners at 1.00am the following morning, i.e. the night of Sept 5-6. (Time zone convertor here.) This broadcast will be a 28 minute edited interview ending with Jonathan Harvey introducing a full performance of Speakings which lasts for another 28 minutes.

A streamed version of the complete interview is now available on Soundcloud and a text transcription can be read On An Overgrown Path. Some background to the interview. is below.

* The interview with Jonathan Harvey was recorded using the Zoom H2 recorder I am seen holding in the upper photo. Sound quality recording in MP3 format at 320kbp is excellent, but inevitably these recorders do pick up some handling noise. Expert editing was by volunteer editor Tim Wilds in the Future Radio studios using Adobe Audition software. (Good luck at Goldsmiths College Tim!) Silly conventions were ignored in the final edit, so the performance of Speakings starts under Jonathan Harvey's voice and ends under mine. This is because the opening and closing bars are extremely quiet and without the overlap it sounded as though the broadcast had broken down. (Yes, I know.)

** My thanks go to Jonathan Harvey for making time available before a demanding trip to Japan, and to John Cronin who helped set it up. The interview could not have happened without the tireless support of Future Radio; if you appreciate their backing please send them a message saying so. All my work for the station is done on a pro bono basis. The recording of Speakings is on a new Aeon CD of Jonathan Harvey's music recorded by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ilan Volkov.

Also available on Twitter and Facebook. Photos are (c) On An Overgrown Path 2010. The Aeon CD Speakings was supplied as a requested review sample. Report broken links, missing images and errors to - overgrownpath at hotmail dot co dot uk

New City of Culture director goes back to her roots

The woman who will lead Paisley’s bid to be UK City of Culture 2021 is coming home – and wants the bid to inspire a new generation the way Paisley inspired her.

Having been brought up in Ferguslie Park, Jean Cameron will be back where it all started when she takes up her role as City of Culture Bid Director next month.

New City of Culture director goes back to her roots

The former pupil of St Fergus Primary and St Mirin’s and St Margaret’s High has enjoyed a career in the arts which has taken her across Europe over the past two decades, including producing Scotland's exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2005.

She will join Renfrewshire Council having spent the past few years leading on the international strand of the cultural programme for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, working with artists from many of the 71 competing nations.

Her current role is as a senior arts producer at Glasgow Life where she has shaped many of the city's leading cultural outputs including the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts, Glasgow Mela and Aye Write!

And Jean, 46, is delighted to have come full circle as she prepares to help launch the town which inspired her career on to the international cultural map.

She said: “I am really thrilled to be coming home and it is an incredible honour to be able to work on this in my home town.

“My love of the arts and culture was fostered in Paisley – my first love was dance and my first time on a stage was aged three at a dance display in Paisley Town Hall.

“I left the town at 17 to study in Edinburgh but came back at 20 and worked part time at Paisley Arts Centre, while helping out David Wallace at PACE with the choreography on their pantomimes.

“Sadly, I had to move away from Paisley because there wasn’t much here in terms of a career in the arts.

“But that’s why it is so exciting to see the range of courses in creative industries available now at UWS and West College Scotland - it is great to think that has changed in the past 20 years.

“I am really excited about the opportunities the UK City of Culture bid throws up to retain these people in the town – young creative people will have a reason to stay.”

Jean’s family are still dotted around Paisley, including her mum, who worked in the Ferguslie Mills.

And Jean – who grew up in Tannahill Road, named after the town’s most famous poet – was back on home turf when she visited her old primary school at St Fergus, where she met head boy and girl James Ramsay and Jade Corrigan.

In her new job, Jean will co-ordinate Paisley’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid document, while driving the campaign to support it. The bid is due to be lodged and decided upon by the UK Government in 2017.

And she is brimming with enthusiasm for the impact the bid can have on Paisley and the wider Renfrewshire area. She added: “The bid will help us change the town for the better and you can see the drive and momentum building up already.

“The benefits will be social and economic – we know culture is worth around £7.7bn to the UK economy and we want to increase the slice of that which comes to Renfrewshire.

“The bid offers a real opportunity to take the great strengths the town has with its heritage and built environment and to build on that.

“But ultimately this bid is for the people of Paisley and it will be them who make it happen – it has the potential to galvanise the entire town and I am very excited to be part of it.”

Councillor Mark Macmillan, chair of the Paisley UK City of Culture 2021 partnership board, added: “As bid director, Jean will have a key role to play as we look to pull together a bid which the whole town will get behind and be proud of.

“We are delighted to have appointed someone who not only has vast experience of the Scottish and UK arts scene but is already part of the cultural DNA of Paisley.”
