Eliza Carney has an interesting article in the August 7, 2010, edition of the National Journal (subscription required). Entitled "Six Myths About Campaign Money," it is an-at-times refreshing look at a number of popular ideas about so-called "campaign finance reform" and the impact of Citizens United. Carney's six myths are (i) corporate money will now overwhelm elections, (ii) Citizens United won't change much, (iii) Congress is more corrupt than ever, (iv) money equals speech, (v) disclosure is the silver bullet, and (vi) public financing will never happen.
Carney does an effective job of dismantling some of the more obvious misconceptions about campaigns and money—read it for yourself to get her full analysis. But, ultimately, she wants to dispel these myths for one reason: to make regulating political speech more effective. Her goal is to "identify solutions and common ground… Inevitably, regulating democracy is messy and complicated." In other words, it's not that campaign finance regulations are wrong—it's just that the ones that are in place or being debated are based on misconceptions and more realistic regulations would be more effective.
Her effort is in vain, however. Better informed attempts to "regulat[e] democracy" will fail like past attempts. This is because campaign finance regulations treat a symptom—corruption—and not the disease, which is a government that has grown far outside its constitutional boundaries. The problem is not that the government gives out favors to the wrong people; it is that our elected officials think the government has the power to give out favors at all. When the government acts like a piñata, people are going to try to get candy from it. It is senseless to try to solve this problem by allowing the same politicians who refuse to recognize Constitutional limits on their power to chip away at the First Amendment. The only solution is to insist that they respect the Constitution, even when it tells them that they cannot simply do as they please.

Come stay in an architect's home smack in the middle of all that's great about San Francisco! We let two rooms, each with its own character. Full kitchen, laundry, WiFi. Our Victorian is in the middle of the Castro, Mission and Haight districts.
Our flat is on the second floor looking over a tree-lined street. The building is a 6-unit Victorian from about 1912. Oak floors throughout. WiFi throughout. We have large kitchen with great lighting that is fully set up for cooking or hanging out. We have laundry in our unit, so longer stays are easy.
The bedroom is in the front of the apartment. It has a big sunny bay window, trimmed with trees, that overlooks Noe Street. Comfortable bed with good cotton sheets and down pillows. Large closet to hang clothes or stash your luggage. It's a double-sized bed, which paradoxically means that it's a good-sized bed for one, or two if you're into each other.
We welcome you to use the full apartment. The kitchen has everything you'd need to make something amazing. Our washing machine is in the back of the flat.
In our experience, most of our guests come to SF to be out and about, seeing and doing things. With these guests, we'll often only see each other in the evenings for a bit. A few guests have been more domestic, and we end up hanging out more at home, sometimes cooking together. We both work full-time, so we're usually out of the apartment during the day. My dog can be a good buddy during the day if you make friendly with him.
San Francisco is full of unique neighborhoods, but I am in love with ours. It's called the Duboce Triangle. We're on a quiet, tree-lined street that is just 2 blocks from the heart of the Castro. It's a 5-minute walk to huge parks with 360 degree views to the Golden Gate bridge, all of San Francisco's skyline, the Oakland Bay Bridge and the hills of Berkeley and Oakland. The Haight (hippies) is a 10-minute walk, as is the near side of the Mission (hipsters). Dolores Park, a big sunny grass park on a palm tree-lined boulevard between the Castro and the Mission, is a 10-minute walk.
There are grocery stores, coffee shops, nightclubs, bars, gyms and restaurants of every sort within a 5-minute walk.
Two blocks from our place, you can catch all Muni lines (J, F, K, L, M, N) and head to Union Square (3 stops away) or the Ferry Building on the waterfront Embarcadero (5 stops). In the other direction, you can ride out to the Zoo or the beach (surfing lessons? bonfires?). There are also busses that will carry you up to the Marina where you'll have the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Parking for a rental car on the street is free and surprisingly easy, although there is a limit to how long you can leave your car in one place. There are dozens of ZipCars around for day trips to Wine Country (Napa/Sonoma). Monterrey, with its famous aquarium, is 2 hours away, and Point Reyes National Seashore offers miles of isolated rural walks and empty beaches. I've seen whales breaching just off shore.
You'd share the flat with me, Jonathan, a biochemist and science tutor; my boyfriend Beau, a interior architect. We are pretty quiet, 31/40 y.o., and easy going. Happy to join you for a glass of wine and hang out, but pretty busy with our own lives. I've got a medium-sized, relaxed dog that sticks to me like glue.

Great room and location. Jonathon wasn't there for our stay, but he did organise his very helpful auntie to assist with our (website hidden) the bed was super comfy.
We had a very pleasant stay in Jon's flat. It's in a fantastic location central to everything. Jon was super helpful with ideas on where to go and what to see, even spending the time to sit down with us and drawing a map. I would definatley recommend them for anyone who is looking for a comfy and enjoyable San Fran experience.
Thanks guys (incl. Painter). Everything 100 %.
La chambre est magnifiquement décorée, pas de mauvaise surprise. L'appartement est propre et très agréable. La chambre donne sur la rue, sommeil léger s'abstenir. A noter qu'il n'y a pas de rideau pour ceux que le jour gênerait.
L'hôte est adorable, je suis arrivée tard et repartie tôt donc nous n'avons pas vraiment eu de contact mais échange sympathique.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le quartier entre market street et le square adamo en passant par la rue Fillmore, on peut voir pas mal de chose à pied.
Great little room in a nice neighbourhood with accommodating hosts.
Jonathans place was exactly as he described it. lovely room, very clean, so close to restaurants, cinema and trams, trains and buses, two minutes away. A very interesting area to explore and I felt very safe. Jonathan was very friendly, took me to local cafes for coffee and was kind and generous. I wanted to experience different areas of San Francisco and only stayed with him for two days but next time would be happy to stay there for my full stay. Would describe it as one of my best airbnb experiences. Thanks Jonathan for making the effort to make me feel welcome (also for the nice tea selection...)
My stay with Jonathan and his partner was wonderfully comfortable. The location was perfect as a solid base from which to explore the city. Transit was easily accessible and the neighbourhood was friendly and colourful. My room was beautifully decorated and the bed was super cosy. The shower has a really nice flow and water pressure. Jonathan is nice to talk to and a great source of knowledge about where to go and what sights to see as well as how to get to them. My walking tour of the city was fantastic - I especially loved Chinatown, riding the vintage streetcars and the hilltop parks (esp. Alamo Square & Buena Vista Park). My favourite day was visiting and crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by bicycle. Baker beach is beautiful and the perfect spot for relaxing, photographing and soaking up the sun and the sublime mood at sunset. Thanks so much, Jonathan!
I really enjoyed my stay at Jonathan's! He was really nice and very helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. The place is in a great location. I would definitely stay there again.
Thanks Jonathan, for sharing your beautiful room and hospitality- in a great neigbourhood as well. Wish I could have stayed longer!
Jonathan and Beau were wonderful hosts. They accommodated us when our flight got in earlier than expected and were friendly, helpful and easy going. We loved the room and the location and had a great time overall!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Yes, you can drink in the theaters. A roving bartender serves you while you wait in the lounge before your flick.Instead of Sno-Caps, opt for Bobtail Ice Cream bars; Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels; and organic, locally made Paper Moon pastries (chocolate chip cookies, blueberry almond bars).The decor is equally impressive. When gutting the interior, crews discovered stunning marble from the theater's original build out. Now art deco accents abound (fully restored stained glass arch, decorative relief panel from 1915). Vintage movie posters take you back to the good ol' days.Tickets are $7 or less; screens have been refurbished; the seats are new and extra spacious.Up next: midnight movies and indie films.We'll drink to that.The Logan Theatre, 2646 North Milwaukee Avenue, at Sawyer Avenue (773-342-5555 or thelogantheatre.com).Photo: Shaylah Kloska / Courtesy of The Logan Theatre

Top two clash at Levante
Something will have to give when Levante put their 100 per cent home record in Europa League Group L on the line against unbeaten Hannover.
Both clubs have already qualified for the last 32, with Hannover dropping one point in five games while Levante's solitary defeat came against the German side earlier this season.
With FC Twente and Helsingborg out of the qualifying picture early on, the group will be decided by the encounter in Valencia.
Hannover are currently a point clear of their opponents, and they know that a draw would see them progress as group winners. Levante, meanwhile, need victory to finish top.
Levante have made an impressive debut in European competition this season, winning both their home games to underline the challenge facing Hannover.
Since the last round of European fixtures, Levante suffered a 4-0 defeat against La Liga title favourites Barcelona, but a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo last time out will have gone some way to restoring confidence levels.
But it has not been all sweetness and light for Hannover, whose recent Bundesliga performances included a 5-0 drubbing by runaway leaders Bayern Munich.
An indifferent league position of 12th confirms the Germans have produced their best form in Europe this season, which will be a fact not lost on Levante.
Hannover will head to Spain on the back of a 2-1 league loss to 10-man Mainz.
``We made technical mistakes and we didn't work ourselves enough chances in front of goal, despite having more players,'' Hannover captain Steven Cherundolo told the club's official website www.hannover96.de.
``You can't win away from home when you play like that.''
Coach Mirko Slomka has almost a full-strength squad at his disposal, with only long-term absentees Leon Andreasen (knee ligaments) and Felipe (hip) not in contention.
Levante's Hector Rodas has recovered from a thigh injury and is likely to cover for the suspended Sergio Ballesteros in the centre of defence, while full-back Juanfran is also back in full training after a back problem.
Midfielders Dariusz Dudka and Pedro Rios continue to work their way back to fitness along with striker Obafemi Martins, with the latter ineligible for the competition in any case.

there is something about free food that makes me want it no matter what it is!
that being said, my work constantly has leftover food from meetings. these are usually sandwiches and i almost always used to eat one, even if i had already eaten lunch or something.
it is a challenge for me (having just eaten lunch or meal 3) to not take a sandwich - just because it is free. is that weird?
there is probably some authorized protein, but there is always mayo and the bread is usually like nice crusty french roll bread, so that would be a no go.
it doesn't help that my cube is right next to the kitchen.
the bright side is that everyone else at work is crazy for free food so it should be gone soon :) i hope.i just thought everyone should now that i am suffering. lol.
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.
Therese- Anne-
Free food used to be a BIG temptation for me too. We have pot lucks almost every week at my work and it is very difficult for me to look past all of the goodies and ignore it. Now I note the days we will have pot lucks and make sure to eat an extra big salad that day with my favorite BFL meal. I usually feel so full afterwards and proud of myself that I don't really want to eat any of the left over foods.
Great job staying away from it so far!!!
Stacy Lynn
hey Stacy
pot lucks would be tough for me!! i actually considered getting a sandwich until they were all gone. but they are finally all gone.
I would remind you that the food really isn't free. There is a cost. The price is extra calories for your body, perhaps a bit of self-loating after eating the "free" food. It might even derail you for the rest of the week because you think "What the heck - I've already blown it". Or maybe no fat loss for the week even though you followed the rest of the plan accordingly. Start telling yourself that what you want in the moment is not nearly as important as the goals you've set for yourself. You can be successful at this if you remember that.
How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to? Anthony Robbins
I'm the same, the free sample ladies in supermarkets used to get me everytime, most of the time i dont even like what they gave me lol. Just started in a new job in a construction office and boys do these guys snack (yet annoyingly there all perfectly healthy weights). I thought it would be difficult to avoid the biscuits, crackers and peanuts that are constantly around but it actually isnt.
In fact is actuall grosses me out watching them out all that rubbish in their bodys, I imagine what their arteries look like and then what I'm going to look like and boy does that take away any temptation.
"The future will be made up of the present. By taking good care of the present, we take good care of the future." Thich Nhat Hanh
Also instead of looking at it as "Oh man, I can't have that..." Look at it like this "I brought my own really good stuff and I'm glad I don't have to eat that stuff".

therese_anne, I think I totally get you on this one. There were times when I was growing up that we didn't have alot of food in the house, when I lived with my Mom, we were on welfare, food stamps etc. There just never seemed to be enough. When I grew older and moved in with my alcoholic gambling addicted father, there just wasn't food in the house at all. Every day was an exercise in scrounging or going to friends' houses for meal time.
As an adult, I find it very difficult to pass up on free food. Something in my brain just goes on high alert to take it. I really have to engage my rational self and tell me "JamesK, you have good food at home waiting for you, it is there trust me." BFL has made me think alot about the meaning of food.
I absolutely hear you. We have a "naughty drawer" at work that is usually filled with some sort of candy or goodies. I am not a big chocolate person normally but I am always tempted by whatever is in that drawer. And there is always food of some sort just sitting in our break room. When I started BFL, I actually cleaned out my pantry and took a whole bunch of unauthorized snacks to work and just set them out in our break room. They lasted all of about 2 hours!! And if you are busy at all at work like I generally am, you are sunk if you haven't brought good food to eat. Those "freebies" have a whole lot more power when you aren't prepared!
The only thing that can stop me. . . . . . . . . . is ME!!!! JEN
ermomof2, ha! I just envisioned a tank of piranhas circling the break room for goodies from your pantry.

Propane autogas powers over 17 million vehicles worldwide. The U.S. is trailing behind the rest of the world, but more and more businesses that rely on a fleet of vehicles are switching from gasoline to autogas. It's less expensive than gasoline, averaging around $1.25 per gallon less. In addition, autogas offers significant reductions in harmful emissions and is quick and easy to implement.
Alliance AutoGas
Blossman Gas is a founding partner of Alliance AutoGas, the nation's only complete program to help fleets shift from gasoline to autogas.
With a single point of contact Alliance AutoGas provides:
• The help you need to figure out if autogas makes sense for your fleet
• Everything your fleet needs to make the shift to autogas easy and affordable
• Ongoing support to make sure your autogas program is successful
Benefits of Using Autogas
Fleets using propane vehicles save on fuel costs. Autogas costs substantially less per gallon than gasoline (click here for cost savings details).
Alliance AutoGas offers both bi-fuel and propane dedicated conversions.
With a bi-fuel conversion drivers can switch seamlessly between gasoline and autogas. The vehicle starts on gasoline and immediately switches to autogas. Not only is the manufacturer warranty preserved, but drivers who are out of range of an autogas fueling station can simply switch back to gasoline to complete their route.
Alliance also offers propane dedicated (propane only) conversions. For fleets interested in maximizing cost savings by using propane 100 percent of the time, or for organizations required to operate exclusively on alternative fuels, dedicated conversion systems are a great fit.
Beyond the fuel cost savings and the benefits of having an on-site fueling station, fleets that use autogas are significantly reducing their carbon footprint, since autogas is an approved alternative fuel that can reduce vehicle greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 percent compared to gasoline or diesel. For more information, visit the Alliance AutoGas Reduce Emissions page.
Autogas for America
Alliance AutoGas and Blossman Gas are supporters of Autogas for America which educates and promotes the use of this clean, American-made fuel.

Information and Educational Technology moved all active email lists and archives from Listproc to Sympa during summer 2010. Inactive lists were migrated only if the list owner asked for them to be moved. The remaining inactive lists were deleted when the Listproc software was fully retired on Dec. 14, 2010. Access the new email list service at lists.ucdavis.edu. If you have questions, please contact the IT Express Computing Services Help Desk at (530) 754-HELP (4357). Message to list owners (June 16, 2010) Training: Several training sessions were held in the second half of 2010. Find material from the Aug. 25th campus training session here (PDF). If you need help with the service, please contact the IT Express Computing Services Help Desk at (530) 754-HELP (4357). Description This project will choose and install a service to administer campus email lists, plus review the guidelines for using and managing the lists. The new service will replace Listproc, which is outdated, insufficiently reliable, and requires frequent manual intervention to keep operating. The plan is to find a good replacement in 2009, ideally open-source, and install it in early 2010. Existing lists will be migrated to the new service, and no downtime is expected. The guidelines governing campus use of the email list service also need review, to see if they meet current campus needs; any revisions will be developed and reviewed by TIF-CSI, among other campus groups. An electronic mailing list is composed of email addresses of 1) people who subscribe to an email distribution service, typically one that focuses on a particular topic, or 2), members of a defined group (such as a class list). List managers typically use the lists to announce, distribute, share and discuss information. Subscribers use the lists to keep up with topics that interest them by asking questions and posting answers via the email distribution service. When a user sends email to a list, all addresses on the list automatically receive a copy of that email. Some lists have hundreds or even thousands of subscribers. Stakeholders The stakeholders include all faculty, staff, students, affiliates and others who send mail to, and receive mail from, the mailing lists; mail list owners who administer lists; and Data Center and Client Services (DCCS) staff in IET who administer the service, create the lists, and assist list owners. As of spring 2009, the UC Davis campus community uses the Listproc service for: 10,279 lists 483 lists with public web archives 1,514 lists with secure web archives 1,213 active class mailing lists 315 web archives for active class mailing lists Goals Improve productivity of stakeholders by installing a better list management system Reduce user frustrations with the limits of Listproc Increase reliability of campus list management system Reduce manual maintenance Add modern features Update guidelines that steer use of the service Groups/processes to be consulted 200-45 Review Process (see description) Technology Infrastructure Forum, Client Support Issues Committee IET Leadership Council TSCs, via TSP Update meeting Reference Documents for Additional Information Listproc Replacement Project 200-45 review Sympa Mailman Listproc Replacement Project in TechNews IET will post items about the project at TechNews, the online source for information and news about campus tech.

I purchased this chandelier to go in my new home since I am updating all the fixtures and lighting. I use this in the kitchenette area and it's perfect. I was a little concerned with the white dome making the light look too bright but it worked out perfect since I used soft white CFL bulbs. I had a handyman install it since I have no skills in that area and it took him only about an hour. Highly recommend and the price is great compared to the prices as the home improvement stores. A similar chandelier there would be twice the price. You'll love it!
If you want understated, and simplicity, this is it. Quite fragile. Not for the "rugged use" rooms! Packaging excellent. Instructions, very good. Quality--a little on the "light" side. But all in all, quite nice for the money.
This light fixture now hangs above our dining room table. We are very pleased with it! It arrived packaged well and took about 40 minutes to assemble and install. It gives the room an updated contemporary look that we were trying to achieve. The only thing we are not pleased with are the four 'arms' that hold the dome are difficult to tighten completely. If we ever have an earthquake, I will NOT be in the dining room because that thing will surely fall. But for regualar use, it is just fine.
We ordereed 3 of these lights for our foyer. They are beautiful. They look very expensive. I do understand what people are talking about with them being fragile. The prongs that hold the bowl do not actually screw into the bowl at all, so the bowl just rests in there. They are very nice and well worth the inexpensive price!
I spray painted the metal to make it darker since my kitchen is black. The lights are really nice looking. Big and give off lots of light. Look great over the kitchen counter/bar area. Used two of them. Great price.
Very happy with this purchase. It's ideal for our dining room,
Was concerned that maybe it wouldn't throw enough light over the dining room table but it's perfect. Style simple, quiet and very pretty. We are in a rental so I didn't want to spend a ton on replacing the fixture and I am thrilled to have found this. Great value.
This chandelier complements the more traditional fixtures in the large living areas of my home. I installed a dimmer switch which allows me to have just the right amount of light for mood and ambiance. My dining room is approximately 10x10 and the fixture might be a little too large for the space; however, my dining room is open to living room and kitchen areas, so the feel is O.K. I love the "look" of it!
The color of the product was well represented in the photograph online, and the description was accurate. I think the fixtures (I bought three) are a wonderful look and updates my mountain home. I recommend this fixture in particular because the bulb is not visible from below, and the shade is a lovely shape. Easy to clean too.
I am so happy with my chandelier in the foyer that I bought another for the seating area in the kitchen. Transitional design and rubbed oil makes it suitable anywhere. Plenty of light! The glass seems plenty snug between the three brackets and I don't understand the other complaints. Great buy!

So I'm curious- how many of you are tabletop gamers? You know, pen-and-paper RPGs, dice, maybe some figurines or what-have-you?
Because I'm a HUGE gamer. As in four times a week, in some cases. If you haven't realized that from my blog, then I'm telling you now.
Around here at Grimoire of Geek, we talk a lot about various kinds of fandoms and how they can become part of your magical practice. We also like to talk about other geeky subjects, controversial subjects to do with our gods and how we relate to them, and where your magic comes from. We're geeks- we dissect and analyze things, and then we geek out over the details. It's a thing....
A Book you might find interesting is What video Games have to teach us about Learning and Literacy by Paul Gee. I know you aren't

S 171 9G CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE September 2J, 197~
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on
September 17, 1974, I Inserted in the
REcoRD a memorandum on Questions
dealing with the power of the Congress
to Impeach and try a President after he
has resigned and the question of continuing
a trial of an impeachment begun
in one session and carried on into a
subsequent session of Congress. The
memorandum was prepared by the
School of Law of the University of Montana.
I now have an addendum prepared by
Gardner Cromwell, professor at the Montann.
School of Law.
Mr. President, I ask urumlmous consent

Addendum: Somewhat related to the preliminary
question 18 another posed by Raoul
Berger In IMPEACHMENT: THE CONSTITU'TIONAL
PROBLEMS (Harvard, 1973).
Chapter ni, entitled ''Judicial Review," refers
to some or the matters cilscusaed under
this heading, Including PoweU v. McCormack.
Berger recognized that "!rom
Story onward," (Including Prof. Herbert
Wechsler), the view has been that the Senate
"has the last word." But, taking account
of constitutional gulil'antees o! tncilvldual
freedoms, tnter alia, he wrote:
"Constitutional limits, as Powell v. McCormack
again reminds us, are subject to
judicial enforcement; and I would urge
that judlctal review of impeachment Is required
to protect the other branches from
Congress' arbitrary will." (Emphasis added.)
(Berger, IMPEACHMENT, p. 119.)
Irving Brant, IMPEACHMENT: TRIALS
AND ERRORS (Knopf, 1973) presents a
different argument [pp. 182-1971 that, I!
Impeachment In fact amounte to a bUl of
attainder, the judiciary has power to act.
Bates, Book Review [Berger and Brant
books on IMPEACHMENT, 25 Stan. L .
Rev. 908, 925 (1973) states: "Berger a.nci
Brant have, by their analyses, considerably
undermlnd the traditional view that judicial
review or Impeachments Is unavallable."
. .. These authors, almost alone among
constitutional schola.rs, have developed arguments
!or Judicial review that the Oourt
might adopt."
On the other hand, W. W. WUloughby (3
UNITED STATES, p. 1651, 1929) a.sserted
flatly : "It Is scarcely necesaary to say that
the proceedings and determinations of tl"le
Senate when sitting a.s a court of Impeachment
are notsulbject to review In any other
court." Broderick, Cttfzens' Gutde to Impeachment
of a Prestdent .· Problem Areas,
23 Cath U. L. Rev. 205, 237 (1973) makes
the same "MBUmption," but t!\kes account
or Berger's contrary view.
I. Whether the Congress has power to
impeach and try a President after he has
There l.s very little precedent or discussion
avallable. The Associated Pre.ss wire
carried au item (Spokane, Washington,
Spokesman-Review. Sunday, August 11,
1974, p . 3, col. 7) quoting an ACLU demand
for Impeachment despite resignation, based
on the 1676 Impeachment of ex-Secreta.ry
of War Belknap.
In the most recent of his two timely books
[Executive Prlvllege: A Oonstltutlonal Myth
(Harvard 1974) ], Raoul Berger referred to
the Belknap situation. In discussing Preel·
dent Andrew Jackson's refusal to furnish
certain material at the request of Congress.
Berger wrote:
" . .. Jackson was clearly wrong, unless we
are to assume that the power to tnvesttgate
executive conduct 1s cut off by termination
of official service." (Emphasis added.) (Berger,
,Executive Privilege, p. 182.)

In nn extensive article entitled Federal

reprinted 1n Treat!Be cited aupra, Simpson
poses the question (pp. 667--676): wrn what

Louise Glück is one of America's finest contemporary poets. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Glück is a former Poet Laureate of the United States and the author of a dozen widely acclaimed books.

"EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL - that is the question"
I have footage and audio files on an ext hd("2011 drive") 38.8 GB (5DM2 + zoom files). Do I have to copy the folder to computers C: drive first before I import files to edit in Pr? I would like to work be able to just import from the hd and then work in Pr. However, if it adds SPEED I'll copy folder to C: drive first.
Does it make a difference?? Thanks.
If the external is an eSATA 7200 disk, leave the media there. If it is slower either by connection (USB2, Firewire) or rotational speed, all you should do is copy it to your SATA 7200 D drive but not to C. If you don't have a physically separate D drive, go out and get at least one but preferably two extra 7200 SATA drives. It will make life so much easier. The minimum requirements for PR are AT LEAST two physically separate SATA 7200 disks.
Thanks for the links joe. I hope to view them all.
My PC was build with 2 TB 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
It is listed in "my computer" as C: drive (1.80TB) AND D: drive -recovery only (11.4GB) and also partitioned to some other small place I don't know. But those combined = the 2TB
When you say, " I should have 2 seperate SATA 7200 disks" do you mean in addition to my C:/D:?
I have My Book Essential Ext HD (1.81 TB) USB = So it looks like the answer to my question is no, based on the info you gave me bummer. Unless like you said I get another external Hard Drive with the eSATA 7200. What do you think of this: http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=360
And the resoning for only using the eSATA vs. USB is the speed, so Pr won't choke up? I still need to review all the tuts posted above.
You have several options, but I think the most affordable solution is, despite the high disk prices:
The MyBook you linked to can be used over eSATA and replace the E drive above.
Just as a rule of thumb you will see transfer rates on the various connections in the order of:
Exports for most people are not time critical. When they are exporting, they usually take the export time for granted and do something else. That is why I said, possibly use the external for exports.
Could you add some more specs on your HP. There may be bigger road blocks.
As I migrate Projects between different computers, I use external FW-800 HDD's, and all works fine. Using eSATA externals would be even quicker. This ARTICLE goes into some details, and also lists a caveat, or two, on using externals for Projects.
Good luck,
HP Pavillion Elite HPE-310tPC
Windows 7 64 bit
760 quad core processor
6Gb ram
2 TB 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1 GB ATI Radeon HD 4850
What else are you thinking to optimize?
There are several things that you can improve on that PC, given the less-than-optimal choice of a CPU in your system (an Intel i5-760, in your case):
1) Get at least two additional hard drives (in addition to your current C:/D: drive, which is actually a single physical drive that's been partitioned into two volumes). In this case, since the 2TB drive is your OS drive, and you cannot reliably transfer all of the content onto another physical hard drive without messing up the recovery volume, both drives should be of equal (and relatively large, like 2TB) size and of the same 7200 RPM spindle speed - and move your media and project files to one of the new additional internal hard drives, and the pagefile, previews and media cache to the other new internal drive. As configured, you are currently using a single hard drive for absolutely everything - OS, programs, media cache, pagefile, previews and exports (the media is stored on a USB 2.0 external hard drive). Two volumes do not guarantee separate physical drives, in this case.
2) Ditch the HD 4850, and go with a GTX 550 Ti for that i5-760 system. The i5-760 is not fast enough to take any advantage of a GTX 560 or higher for such video editing apps that tax both the CPU and GPU simultaneously.
3) Upgrade the RAM from 6GB to 16GB. Premiere Pro CS5.x runs best with more than 12GB of RAM.
FW400 can theoretically transfer at 30-45 MB/s. However, many external hard drives and external hard drive enclosures with FW400 capability have horrible FW400 controllers - so much that transfers from those same enclosures would actually be faster through USB 2.0 (25-30 MB/s) than through FW400 (10-15 MB/s).
In addition, the VIA FW400 controller onboard a lot of Asus motherboards is also slower than USB 2.0 in export performance (transfers from PC to device). That makes onboard FW400 on those Asus motherboards in question far better for ingesting (transferring from device to PC) than for exporting.
Stephen, Harn, Joe & RjL,
I made a mistake in typing my specs. I went off an old print out: my bad. The following info I took right from the HP Support Assistant built in the computer:
Microprocessor: Intel(R) Core(TM)i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz
System Memory: 6 GB
1= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
2= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
4= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4850
Refresh Rate: 60
System Board: 2A9C 1.0
System BIOS 6.12
Hard drive(s) Hitachi HDS722020ALA3300 (1863.01 GB)
I have heard about the NVIDIA Gforce GTX 570. Would that go with the 860?
I just want to be able edit in Pr as fast as I can. The system is too slow for me right now. I like switching between all the Adobe products also . So, it is looking like I am going to get a HP 1.5TB internal drive (I need to shop to see what else/brands are available) and more RAM (16 total is recommended for Pr/video editing?)
I would go for more balance rather than investing in a GTX570. A GTX 560 Ti is cheaper and will do.
Ditch 1 2GB memory module (4) and install 2 X 4GB modules of the same speed. The same brand might be safest, but not a requirement.
You need at least one dedicated video hard drive. I've had best luck with internal. A powered external may be less taxing on your PSU.
The Power Supply (PSU) is often overlooked. You will want to get specs on your PSU. If it is under 500 watts, there may be issues. Hopefully it is 600-750 watts. Considering that you have a Radeon 4850 installed, it will likely handle swapping to a GTX card and adding a hard drive without issue.
It is a HP, so it is nearly impossibly without extensive modding to install a better PSU, because of the non-standard dimensions of the PSU in HP's. I agree with Stephen with regards to the memory and the 560.
I also agree with Stephen with regards to the memory and the GPU. However, the plain, non-Ti GTX 560 is a better match to the i7-860 in a non-overclockable system: Even the GTX 560 Ti is a bit overkill. (Remember, in my brief testing with a borrowed i7-870 system it performed roughly as fast as a stock-speed i7-920 with the same components and the same amount of RAM.) Forget about the GTX 570 in that system since it needs an overclocked i7-2600K+ or a hexa-core CPU for the 570 to be taken full advantage of.
In addition, the GTX 560 Ti itself is transitioning from its original 384-core design to a slightly more power-hungry design with 448 cores. That's because the 560 Ti is migrating from the GF114 GPU to a cut version of the GF110 used in the GTX 570 and GTX 580. This may allow the original 384-core GTX 560 Ti to drop the "Ti" moniker and be sold as the plain GTX 560. In turn, the current plain GTX 560 may be renamed the GTX 560 SE.
Thank you all so much for the replies. I was able to get an order put together (it's on hold) I am probably going to go with the
|Hitachi 2TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB/SATA-3G
Any comments on this SATA?
I know this has also opened up the fact that my video card should be better. (I am still shopping on that one) Tiger Direct suggests
|Diamond Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCIe w/EyeFinity
I didn't get the chance to get prices etc on the GTX...
And I agree on the RAM. I will swap out a 2GB and replace with
Any comments on this kind (all of this is on a "hold" order) I didn't purchase anything yet.
And of course the power supply. (I know I have to upgrade that)
The problem with the HD 6870 is that it, like all other ATi or AMD GPUs, is not supported at all in CS5's MPE GPU accelerated mode. Therefore, all ATi GPUs will force CS5 to run only in MPE software-only mode.
Maribeth, since you have one empty memory slot now, you should get 2 memory modules, both 4GB.
Also, as stated before, it would be a huge waste to get a non-Nvidia GTX card for Premeire use. To be clear to a point, it is a big deal.
Best of luck.
Ok. I didn't order anything.
My specs on my PSU is 300 watts.
I am so mad at HP! Because now by the time I purchase the correct graphics card (that would utilize the MPE) GTX 550 Ti -this is what they recommend- it costs $244.15. I would need a new PSU $78.80 My new internal HD 2T (matching what I have) is $400 and I wanted to fill it up with all 4 slots having 4G RAM (I could get for $40 each = total $160) I am running up a bill coming out at about $842
I am going to start all over.
They should have built it right the first time. I read to them the specs on the Adobe box. By the way the cpu just came back and is still in the box because HP replaced the internal hd that just died. (luckily I have the warranty) I am not happy with HP. I think sales just sold me and didn't know what they were talking about. It is also frustrating that I didn't find all this out until now. I should have figured all this out earlier and then I could have just returned it! Luckily I know someone who will buy the desktop I have.
I wonder if MAC would be any better. (more expensive I know, but I could just invest in a laptop and shed the desktop environment) Would any of you suggest I re-invest in HP? Does Adobe recommend MAC, or SONY or HP??
Thanks again for all the replies.
Current macs can't be configued to run Mercury Playback hardware acceleration unless you spend a bank on a Mac Pro and a Nvidia Quadro GPU that will alone cost nearly as much as a properly configured PC.
Macs can work with CS5.5, but it is not the best option getting started.
The problem with your situation is that none of the pre-builts from the big companies are suitable for video editing (at least not without having to either spend an exhorbitant amount of money or feel comfortable opening up the computer case and manually adding the parts all by yourself).
Why? Because although their base configurations are attractively priced, these companies will steal you blind when it comes to upgrading such a system with even the minimum number of components that Adobe requires just to even run Premiere Pro CS-anything satisfactorily. You see, Adobe requires a minumum of two fast, internal hard drives (three or more are even better), and that only Nvidia GPUs with 1GB or more RAM can run CS5.x with MPE GPU acceleration at all.
Unfortunately, Apple does not currently offer any system at all whatsoever with an Nvidia GPU (that company's systems offer either integrated Intel HD graphics or AMD/ATi discrete GPUs).. And even more restrictive, the only Macs capable of using MPE GPU acceleration at all are the full-tower and super-expensive Mac Pros (of which the currently available models are mere carryovers from 2010, with no new CPUs or GPUs offered); that's because anything less than a Mac Pro are all self-contained and not user-upgradable at all except for the RAM. Furthermore, the only current-generation Nvidia desktop or workstation GPU that's compatible with Macs is the $800~$900 Quadro 4000.
As for the other brands like Sony and HP, the cases that their systems are housed in are way less than optimal for an editing rig: They are seriously cramped and provide extremely poor (extremely low) airflow. Plus, they often cannot accommodate long graphics cards at all or more than two disks.
So, in other words, don't go to any of those big-name companies for a custom PC build or a pre-built: They either charge you an exhorbitantly high price for even a minimally adequate configuration for editing or they do not offer such a robust required configuration at all. Instead, go to a smaller custom builder such as ADK who knows how to custom-configure a PC that's suitable for some heavy-duty video editing (these editing-specific companies charge a couple of hundred dollars more than an assemble-it-yourself PC made up of those exact same components).
I agree with RjL190365.
I got a quote from ADK and I have asked a few peeps their opinion and they think it's a bit high. (I would love to send the quote to someone here for their opinoin via email - unless you think it's ok to post??)
I can still go the route of adding on to what I have: (but the upgrading of the PSU is concerning to me) Here's what I have and what I would upgrade.
Microprocessor: Intel(R) Core(TM)i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz
System Memory: current slots (below): 6 GB = I WOULD UPDATE TO 4 SLOTS OF 4GB
1= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
2= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
4= 2GB DIMM Other 1333 MHz 2C802C80
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4850 = I WOULD UPDATE TO GTX 560 (STILL A BIT CONFUSED ON Ti or NOT Ti) but I will see what I can find. - best card for this system right?
Refresh Rate: 60
System Board: 2A9C 1.0
System BIOS 6.12
Hard drive(s) Hitachi HDS722020ALA3300 (1863.01 GB) = I WOULD ADD ON
(3rd) THE CURRENT HD IS THE OS DRIVE AND I AM JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT ALONE.
but my power supply is only 300 watts and from what I got here I am worried about an upgraded PSU causing me possible problems. (HP said that I could purchase a more powerful power supply - but obviously I have lost my trust with them)
So that is where I am at. Chugging along on an old laptop - still looking forward to setting up a great system. (Luckily mainly shooting, but dare, dare I say I miss editing)

Remember that you are not paying just for the hardware. Of course it would be cheaper to build it yourself.
You are paying for their knowledge and ability to asssemble a system which is properly set up and will work efficiently and be stable.
I'm a satisfied customer.

Joaquin targets Los Che win for Malaga
Malaga winger Joaquin is looking to get back to winning ways in La Liga when his side host Valencia this weekend after a run of four league games without a win.
After a stunning start to the season in which they won 10 of their opening 15 matches in all competitions, losing just once, Malaga have lost their way of late and in their last two home matches have been beaten by Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad.
That has seen Manuel Pellegrini's men drop out of the top four of La Liga and slip 15 points behind pacesetters Barcelona, and Joaquin is determined to see them get back on track on Saturday.
The former Spain international, who was rested in midweek as Malaga secured top spot in their Champions League group with a 2-2 draw away to Zenit St Petersburg, said: "It's important to take the three points on Saturday to get a victory after the two previous defeats at home and regain the confidence we had at the start of the season.
"After getting through to the last 16 first in the group we must now focus on the league, which is the most important thing right now.
"Valencia are an opponent who on paper look like they are going to be up there fighting with us this season."
Javier Saviola and Isco are among the others that will return to the starting line-up after being rested but there is still no place for Nacho Monreal who continues to be sidelined by a back problem.
Valencia also ensured their place in the Champions League last-16 on Tuesday with a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich and defender Ricardo Costa is now keen to turn their European form into a prolonged run on the domestic front.
Los Che currently lie in eighth as a result of their dire away form having only taken two points from a possible 18 on the road so far this season.
Moreover, Mauricio Pellegrino's men will be weakened by the absence of top scorer Roberto Soldado and Victor Ruiz through suspension and Joao Pereira due to a thigh injury, but Costa insists they are still looking forward to the game.
He said: "We are desperate to play in Malaga and it doesn't matter whether we are playing them home or away. The results haven't helped us a lot but we have a positive run right now and although we have players missing, it is not an excuse for not doing well in Malaga.
"The important thing now is to fight for our principal objective which is the Champions League places. We are close, but we need to take care with Malaga because they have a great team.
"We are clear that we need to be stronger and more consistent in the league and not lose so many points away because at home we are doing very well."

Ice cream social is June 21 The public is invited to attend an ice cream social on the grounds of the Austin-Whittemore House Wednesday, June 21 from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
The event is an annual occurrence which began in the 1970s for the purpose of raising money for the maintenance and upkeep of the house. One of the early events was actually held on the lawn of Max and Phyllis Christol on Forest Avenue according to Cleo Erickson, Clay County Historical Society president.
However, since the renovation of the Austin-Whittemore House, the event is annually held on its grounds. It is an opportunity for the community to tour the house which was saved from demolition approximately 30 years ago, and view its collection of local historic artifacts.
This year a tour group of Swedish heritage from Linsborg, KS will arrive at 5 p.m. to tour the house and participate in activities on the lawn as they travel on to Minnesota for midsummer celebrations. The local event will feature a menu of taverns, chips, pie, cake, ice cream, coffee and lemonade. An appeal for homemade pies and cakes for the social can be expected by Clay County Historical Society members with all proceeds benefiting the preservation of the Austin-Whittemore House.
Raffle tickets for a quilt to benefit Reverend Brown's Cabin, a log cabin in Riverside Township, six miles south of Centerville, just off of Highway 19, will also be available for purchase. Reverend Brown arrived in the area from Sweden to administer to Swedish immigrants in the region in the latter part of the 19th century. His cabin is a local historical landmark.

After hearing closing statements Friday in the Douglas Kennedy trial, Mount Kisco Village Justice John Donohue did not give a date for when he will reach a verdict but said it would come in "a reasonable period of time."
Donohue made his reply at the end of the fifth day in the non-jury bench trial, in which Kennedy is facing charges of child endangerment and harassment in connection with his movement of 2-day-old son Bo from the maternity ward of Northern Westchester Hospital. He is accused by the prosecution, in his movement attempt, of twisting the arm of nurse Anna Lane to get through a doorway, and in allegedly kicking nurse Cari Luciano when she tried to take his baby.
Prior to giving their statements, which served as recaps of the prior week's arguments, lawyers on both sides began the day continuing to cross examine Dr. Timothy Haydock, an NWH emergency room phyisician a Kennedy family friend who was present during the Jan. 7 dispute.
Kennedy did not testify in the trial.
The prosecution spent Friday, in both its questions to Haydock and in closing statements, hit at his credibility. Examples included the fact that he is not a maternity doctor and did not have jurisdction on the floor, that he was anticipating a supervising nurse to arrive at the nurses' station after his impression that moving Bo outside was ok based on initial feedback from nurses posted there, and in how he described Kennedy making contact with Luciano after she attempted to remove Bo when she was near the stairwell doorway. In the later case, Haydock described Kennedy as bending his knee and using his foot to push her, while also saying that she flew back by an estimated eight feet.
A skeptical Amy Puerto, one of the prosecutors for the case, said Haydock's description "sounds like a fancy way of saying kicked."
Defense attorney Robert Gottlieb, in his closing statement, reiterated his earlier point that Kennedy's action towards Luciano was not on purpose.
"He pushed her away instinctively," he said.
Gottlieb, during the trial, has described Kennedy's action with Luciano as a quick attempt to protect Bo, while Luciano testified that her act was meant to support the infant because she saw his head shaking when the door opened. Kennedy entered the door after an alleged scuffle with Lane, who accuses him of twisting her arm to remove it from the door knob. The defense denies this is the case, while Puerto, in her closing statement, cited the door's strength as a reason for why Lane's scenario, in addition to her testimony, was more plausible.
At one point duirng Haydock's testimony, prosecutor Michael Borrelli whether he had a phone conversation with Kennedy after the incident and told him that he's "not taking me down with you..." on the incident. Haydock denies making such a comment.
Credibility attacks were routine in the closings. Puerto's negative desciption of Haydock's tesimtony paled in comparison to how defense attorney Robert Gottlieb blasted Lane and Luciano in his closing statement, which went on for roughly an hour and a half.
Gottlieb described the pair as overracting during that night, and said there is a "vindicative vengence they have for somebody who dared to defy them."
Gottlieb also argued that before Lane and Luciano came into the picture, the situation was calm and under control. He called the nurses liars and that the evidence contracted their accounts.
The lawyer said that Lane and Luciano are waiting for the outcome of the criminal trial before they file a civil lawsuit against Kennedy, and that their lawyer told them a conviction would bolster their changes of winning.
"This criminal court is being used by two nurses to line their pockets and it's wrong," Gottlieb said.
Ultimately, however, both sides in their closings went back to whether or not Kennedy violated the letter of the law.
In the case of child endangerment, the burden of proof relies on whether the defendent acted in a way that would likely be injurous to the child and that he knowlingly did so. The defense argues that Kennedy appropriately took care of his son through his dress and hold position, and that his interaction with Luciano was because he wanted to protect his child. Gottlieb also urged Donohue to consider that the hospital's discussed policy - he claims Kennedy did not violate any because there is no specific provision for how to deal with moving his son outside for fresh air as he requested - is not one and the same as the law.
With regards of the two harassment counts against Kennedy, the defense argued that Kennedy did not act intentionally to harass or injure the nurses, which is the burden of proof for the violation offense. Celia Gordon, one of Kennedy's lawyers, argued that Kennedy was calm and tried to be reasonable, that was no struggle and no arm twisting of Lane at the stairwell, and he quickly reacted to a lunging Luciano.
"He pushed her away instinctively," she said.
Gottlieb described the legal situation as a difficult tme for the family.
"Your honor has the power to end this nightmare," he said.
Puerto, in her statement, replied: "Judge, it's not your job" to end a nightmare. Rather, the prosecutor argued, it is to weigh the evidence by using his common sense and determine if he broke the law.
Puerto argued that each of Kennedy's actions with Bo were intentional, saying that he was warned to change his plan for moving Bo outside, including an offer from Lane to get in touch with a physician who could decide on whether his request was okay. She also stated that while NWH does not have a specific policy addressing a father wanting to remove his child, it was not reasonable that the hospital could have anticipated it, and that it does have policy against a child's unauthorized removal from the floor.
Kennedy, Puerto explained, had made up his mind that he was getting out of the building "however he can." She also described the defense's action as "a classic case of blaming the victim."
With regards to intention, Puerto argued that having it can be made "in an instant," and cited his reaction to Luciano as an example. In that matter, the prosecutor noted both the distance that Haydock described Luciano's fall and the fact that Kennedy fell on the other side of the door as proof that he kicked her on purpose.
"He kicks her in the gut, she goes down and so does he," she said.
The prosecutor hit back at Gottlieb's assertion that the nurses are out for money, citing their heading to the emergency room shortly after for examination as proof. She also vouched for Lane's claim by noting her testimony that her arm was twisted, that the stairwell door could not have been easily opened and that Lane lost her balance.
Talkin to reports after the trial date, Gottlieb said they, referencing the defensive side, would "patiently await for the judge's decision."
"I hope for Douglas and his family that it can be resolved quickly" with a verdict, Gottlieb said.
