So here it goes. It's a little vague, but the basic premise of the song is that there's this girl at this guy's house, and she's telling him that she has to go home - and he's trying to convince her to stay the night because it's either "cold outside", or "raining outside" or "snowing outside"... I can't remember! But, the song goes something like: "(female) I really have to go... (male) but babe it's cold outside."
Something like that. Anyone know what song this is, and if SoundChoice has it?

BC: Grab Ray's Greatest Hits and give that one a listen..an excellent one for your next duet disc (or Christmas release!)
You can sleep easy now, garyc.
Close, but no cigar. I sing the Lightfoot song quite often and those words are: just like an old time movie...'bout a ghost from a whishing well..
Don't anyone rankle their curd over this. I was just adding to the topic!
If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong, With chains upon my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

We once had a music store in OKC where you could go in a hum a few bars of any song written and, chances are, one of them could tell you the title. They were the "little man" as Jackson put it, and they are gone.
Ok...I have a 80's brainbuster for you all.
There was a song that I really loved during the 80's and for the life of me I cannot remember the title or name of the band. All I can really remmeber of the song was the main part of the chours, "I'll never let you down...let you down again..." I know, not much to go on.
In the video (very early MTV) it showed the lead singer and a pianist (the bandmembers) "fighting" over a woman.
Could it be "I won't let you down" by Ph.D.?
To the others:
Should this be a game or a serious thread? Are we asking for song names just for the fun of it, or because we really don't know which song it is?
I was walking in the mall one day, and I overheard this song being played on the mall's speakers. And, I thought to myself "I remember this song! This would be cool for Karaoke. I'll have to remember it so I can check if they have it." So, I remembered a couple of verses, did my shopping, and now I forgot those verses.
The best way I can describe it is that was it had the same "feel" as Don't Worry, Be Happy... and I think it sounded somewhat Jamacian, and I think there was a boat, or a jungle, or something in the song that they're talking about. I believe the song came out in the 80's as well, or around the same time. It's not "Day-O or the "Banana Boat Song" but something simliar. It seemed more upbeat or "danceish". It seems like they used to play it at parties back then too.
I know it's vague, but can anyone help? Otherwise, I'll just have to wait until I hear it again somewhere... that could be 5 years though!

1. My baby just cares for me (Nina Simone)
2. The Carribean Disco Show (Lobo). This came out in 1981 and was a disco-ish medley of carribean style songs, mostly originally by Harry Belafonte, like Day-O, Jamaica Farewell etc.
"the line broke, the monkey got choked, ban ba gan-ga-pani little rubber boat"
And I think that this should be a serious thread,i.e., not trivia games..if you have a song stuck in your brain and cannot get the title (or the right lyrics for that matter) then come here..if there's enough need, perhaps BC (or the webmaster) could make a new column for it...
The song was: Jump In The Line (Shake Senora)
I guess there really was no boat or bananas in it... I probably got all those types of songs mixed up together. I'll have to check the lyrics . I still have never heard anyone do this song, but I think it would go over nicely (if they have it available for Karaoke even, that is).
Just checked - amazingly enough, it's not available for Karaoke . I just requested it directly to SC's research dept.

I heard a song a couple of years ago done by Hootie and the Blowfish (but it is not on any of the albums that are available... I already did a lyrics search) that was about this quy in a bar seeing a lady, lighting her cigarette, and the lyrics include "I don't want you to fall in love with me." and something like "It's last call, I look around for you but you're no where to be found" and the last line of the song is "and I think that I just fell in love with you."
This song about a month ago was the closing song for the hit tv show Ally McBeal. It was sung by Vonda Shepherd.
Please help!
In Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel, the opening words according to the Soundchoice CDG is "Help me. Anybody using."
But, those don't really sound like the words when I listen to the real song. Any input?
I don't think those ARE the right words in the SC version of "Sledgehammer"! And I don't think the "fruit cakes" line is correct either--I believe it's "fruit cage".
Missing you...Can't help but wish that youWere in my arms tonight..makin' love to me.I always spend my time, just writing lines to you.Can't help but wish that you were saying you miss me too.
Well, anyone ever heard it? Who sang it?
It's a classic, all right--"Missing You" by Jim Reeves. This was a (very) posthumous hit for him in 1972, eight years after his fatal plane crash.If you want to sing it, it's only on Chartbusters so far: two discs by that company, one of which is an all-Jim disc that my friend Nick bought primarily for me to sing off of.Hmmm...I just might sing this one tonight!
I remembered a big, ol' full voice singing it, but I didn't know who. Ever sing "He'll Have to Go"?

Anyone have a recipe for Roasted Garlic Mayo,Chipolte Spread etc for sandwiches Tia |

My favorite spread combination isn't one you asked for, but it is what I think is delicious. Boston Brown Bread cut in the rounds, and topped with a date nut spread. Dates that have been simmered with water or brandy and chopped into minced pieces, toasted nuts chopped into small pieces, cream cheese mixed with dark brown sugar and a touch of maple syrup. My other favorite spread is either an eggplant baba ganoush or a roasted red pepper hummus. I like them on stale bagels that have been cut into thin rounds, then oven toasted with a light drizzle of olive oil. Then topped with a variety of chopped olives or chopped marinated artichokes.. or the olives in a tapenade on the bagels, or baguettes done the same way, and the roasted red pepper on it's own without the chick pea hummus. My favorite dill spread is simple cream cheese, dill, cream to soften and that is it! Not even salt or pepper, just lots of fresh dill weed, not seeds, that has been coarsely chopped and added to the softened cream cheese. I could eat this with a spoon. |
Mine is similar to the Garlic Dill Mayo above (I also use Hellman's). You can roast a head of garlic and use one clove in this recipe. Ann Aioli 1 garlic clove Blend in food processor and then taste for seasonings. (Cut the sweetness of the mayo with more dry mustard and lemon juice.) This is great on sandwiches or as a dip for steamed shrimp. Can also add a bit of roasted red pepper or fresh basil leaves. I've also tried it with a bit of the adobo sauce from the can of chipotles (and a tiny bit of a chipotle...that stuff is hot!) and it was delicious. |

wonderful thank you!!!!!!!! |
We've been addicted to Chipotle Mayonnaise lately - we like it with grilled artichokes or roasted garlic potatoes, but you could use it for a sandwich spread, too. Becky Chipotle Mayonnaise 1 cup mayonnaise (I use Best Foods) Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until needed. |

I posted this under eggplant recipes, but it makes a wonderful spread - especially for dark bread. It's so simple and really really tasty. If you bake the eggplants ahead of time it will take only a few minutes to make up, and it makes a *lot* of spread. Russian Eggplant Caviar Olive Oil to saute: In a large pot or skillet, saute the onions and peppers until tender. Add the tomatoes and cook on low heat, stirring, 5 minutes. Add the eggplant, salt & pepper. Pulse mixture in batches until well desired consistency (I like it fairly lumpy, but it is great if a smoother consistency is used as a spread). As you can see, this is very low calorie. It is even better the next day. |

Tobacco Products
Tobacco Control Act
The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, commonly referred to as the Tobacco Control Act gives FDA authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health.
It was signed on June 22, 2009, ushering in a new era of tobacco control by recognizing that almost all new users of tobacco products are under age 18 – the minimum legal age to purchase.
The Tobacco Control Act aims to curb the trend of new users becoming addicted before they are old enough to understand the risks and ultimately dying too young of tobacco-related diseases.

The Digital Transformation in the Humanities
Computers have transformed research in the humanities as well as the sciences, enabling investigators to answer in a few hours or days questions that once would have taken a lifetime. An Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant is allowing faculty and graduate students from the Department of French to compare digitized versions of manuscripts by the late-fourteenth-century poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut, which are currently scattered in libraries across the world. They are creating an electronic research environment that will give grant participants a uniform set of tools to study these manuscripts simultaneously.
A similar initiative was completed for the Chaco Research Archive, an online resource devoted to New Mexico's Chaco Canyon, the center of ancient Pueblo civilization. Led by Stephen Plog, the David A. Harrison III Professor of Historical Archaeology, and Worthy Martin, associate professor of computer science and codirector of the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, the archive enables researchers to compare artifacts and records held at nineteen museums, federal agencies, universities, and libraries.
Bernard Frischer, professor of classics and art history, with National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, will add a fourth dimension to "Rome Reborn," a 3-D navigable model of Rome in A.D. 320. He is also adding avatars representing historical characters to his re-creation of Hadrian's Villa, which supported more than 3,000 people on 200 acres. This simulation is a teaching tool that enables students to assume the roles of historical residents so they can learn how the complex villa functioned and residents interacted.

You make the point that in many cases, being beaten up on the Internet has a strangely unreal quality to it. If you don't look, it's hardly there.
Unless your helpful friends tell you, "Oh, that was awful." Sometimes people do look at you weirdly, and you realize that something has been said and you don't know what it is. We can certainly toughen up and shrug it off. But the old notion of personal honor is something that we're going to have to jettison in the digital age.
So the traditional idea of reputation is going down the drain?
Yeah, you can't just escape the way you did in America in the nineteenth century. Just pick up and go somewhere else. It's crucial not just for people my age, but for kids. A lot of stuff they put on social networking sites, or on this scummy Juicy Campus site—it may pop out ten years later, when you're applying for a job in a conservative profession.
Let's return for a moment to your history of snark, in which Tom Wolfe occupies a pivotal spot. You discuss both his amazing talent and the sense that there's really nothing at stake. What we see in a piece like "These Radical Chic Evenings" (1970) is like a higher form of dandyism.
When he was young, Wolfe was celebrating and discovering aspects of American culture that had been buried or hidden. But then he turned to things like this, and if you examine that piece closely, there's nothing in it but contempt and rage. He seems to be angry not just at the Black Panthers, but at the mainstream civil rights leaders. He makes fun of the way they dress, how boring and middle-class they are. There's a strain of anti-Semitism, too. All of these rich Jews trying to maintain their credibility in their twelve-room apartments. But in retrospect, it's Wolfe who looks like a schmuck, not the people who went to that party. The piece now seems to me incredibly well composed and incredibly sour and nasty. He's got nothing, no reforming instinct, just his taste against theirs. It doesn't sit well anymore. And it was a transit point for Wolfe: he went from being an exuberant cultural celebrator to being a right-wing sourpuss.
At one point you note the so-called "Pacemaker Principle," whereby the old "get their slowness clocked, their verbal flummoxes written down, their sags and humps measured." Among your examples is a shaft fired by Charles McGrath at Jim Lehrer, which seems a little paradoxical, given that McGrath himself is in his early sixties. Is snark now so reflexive that we're all devouring our own peers?
That's a classic example of what I was talking about at the beginning of our conversation—the anxiety that you're not keeping up. You're getting old, you're not hip enough, so you make fun of somebody who's slightly older. I was shocked to hear that Lehrer was deeply wounded by that comment. They do the same thing they've been doing for thirty years on that show; it does have a kind of reliability. Why put it down?
I found an additional irony in the fact that the Times Book Review was notably un-snarky under McGrath's tenure, but has become more so under that of Sam Tanenhaus.
They want to get your attention. They've published some good pieces and some awful things, which should have been much more tightly edited. It's going for impact. But if you're going to do a tough, nasty piece, you have to edit it very carefully, and you've got to have a great writer doing it.
Let's return to something we touched on earlier. You're at pains to separate yourself from such articulate Luddites as Lee Siegel, who insists that the Internet is destroying our humanity. But could you say a few words about the Web's role as snark's mightiest megaphone?
Lee's book [Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob] seemed to me excessively gloomy, an attempt to be eloquent about very small issues. Look, we've had a democratic revolution. Millions of people have gotten access to the presses, which were formerly controlled by the owners of the presses and their hirelings, like me. Suddenly, everybody can join. And that's an incredible event in the history of democracy. But in the wake of any democratic revolution, you're going to have an explosion of egotism and anger and pent-up rage. There's an awful lot of that. You can ignore it, of course, unless you're in a conversation about something that matters to you.
So where is this post-revolutionary hangover leading us?

Are there any tools and techniques to build more energy efficient applications? Any articles, rules or best practices for green programming?
closed as not constructive by George Stocker♦ Jul 28 '12 at 1:46As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
Wow, the possibilities are endless here: General Ideas:
Since keystrokes require energy to process and display:
That's all I can think of right now. There has to be more stuff like this! Come on guys, let's put our heads together and really go green! |
I'm going to answer your question with my own: Is there enough benefit for the cost of green programming? My knee jerk reaction is that green programming would violate the 80-20 rule, and we could be getting much better green results elsewhere (such as switching to a processor that draws 20 W instead of 47 W) Good question nonetheless! |
Borland C++ Builder 5 and 6 had a horrendous inefficiency for many many years that cause compilation to run about 10 times slower than necessary. A rough estimate of number of programmers (20,000), minutes/day of wasted CPU time (15), PC power consumption (150 W) and lifespan of the bug (5 years) gave me a figure of about 93 Megawatt hours, or 93 tons of CO2 All from one tiny bug... So, not really an answer, but I think your question is a highly valid one! |
Intel have some Energy Efficient Software Guidelines on their site, and links to a wide range of tools for helping with this. Looks like a good place to start! |
One generalized answer to the question is don't poll for changes or periodically scan for something to do. Use operating system notifications to process information on an interrupt driven basis. When you do process information do it efficiently and as a 'bulk' endeavour. One big write to HDD is better than several smaller writes as the disk system can switch to lower power states sooner. The same applies to use of CPUs, hardware radios..etc. While virtually meaningless on most hardware connected to the grid.. platforms such as laptops and especially mobile phones can benefit quite a bit by applications designed to for power effeciency (Use the CPU and system resources as sparingly as possible) |
Energy efficiency depends on the hardware and the OS that you are running on, as well as the library, that you are using. If you are doing application development on a typical PC, then your application will be waiting for system messages most of the time. Typical frameworks (e.g. C#, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic) contain the basic functionality for these messaged to trigger events that your program will react to (e.g. OnClick). If you stick to this way of programming, there is not much that you need to think about. When your application is waiting for system messages, the OS knows, that the application is not busy and can make use of its built in power saving functionality. Things that you might consider are improvements on the IO-part of your program (e.g. combining several file reads or writes into one combined one). If your application involve a lot of processing (e.g. when you need to create independent threads to handle the processing without freezing the UI) you will need to think more about power efficiency. Optimizing the IO-part may be a good starting point. Things that you should generally avoid are busy loops polling for an event (e.g. change of a bit in a register, or the availability of data from another thread). Use synchronization functions of your OS (e.g. Events, Semaphores, Mutexes, WaitForSingleObject, ...) instead. In embedded systems there are many more things to consider ( / under your control). I am working at the moment on a wireless sensor network, where each node will be able to run on small batteries for years. In order to achieve that, two things had to be done. 1) Design a very power efficient hardware by selecting low power consumption parts with efficient sleep modes. Many Microcontrollers have the possibility to switch off sub systems when not in use. They also have various power reduction or sleep modes. During a sleep mode program execution is stopped, while all RAM is kept. Depending on the specific mode certain sub systems are still alive and will wake up the controller when needed. 2) Program the firmware to make use of low power modes, whenever possible. Switch off sensors / transmitters when not in use. Let the controller sleep as often as possible (e.g. use timers to wake up from programmed delays instead of busy wait delays, when waiting for external events program a wakeup interrupt and go to sleep). As a result of these endeavours your firmware becomes much more complex. There are many more states, that your program maybe in, and error conditions (e.g. timeouts) need to be cought by making use of subsystems. |
There is an excellent PDC video here on the topic wrt Windows: http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/PC19/ "Inefficient background activity has a dramatic impact on system performance, power consumption, responsiveness, and memory footprint. This session demonstrates best practices for background process design and dives deep on the capabilities of the Service Control Manager (SCM) and Task Scheduler." |
Interesting question - the first thought that occurs to me is going lighter on CPU is more energy efficient (as the CPU runs cooler and fans don't need to come on - plus on some OSes an idle CPU goes into a more energy efficient state). So eliminating things like busy waits for example, and optimising very CPU intensive algorithms may help. Similarly anything that can be done to wring more life out of an old server may be more energy efficient in the 'green' sense (not having to build and ship and package a new server, not needing to dispose of the old one, etc). (I always thought the climate simulations running on grid computers were a bit ironic - I ran one for a while on my Mac and it always made the CPU temp go up, the fans come on, and the power supply run hotter - to say nothing of the CO2 emissions from all that :-) |
Work from home. I did a quick estimate of kilos of CO2 put into the atmosphere by my commute, and it's frightening. |
At application level, many times caching is overlooked: if you already have a fresh result, you don't have to recompute it. Less computation -> lower power consumption; also, usually less data transferred (-> lower power consumption - infinitesimal, but it adds up). Of course, caching logic has to be lighter than the computation itself, otherwise it defeats the purpose. For example, in HTTP this can be done with conditional queries - yet rarely do you see it (it can be tricky to keep track of response freshness). |
Recently, while preparing a seminar on Design Patterns, I came across an article (can't find it now) that looked at design patterns and, specifically, the Bridge pattern IIRC, in the context of energy efficiency in portable devices. I do not think, however, that many people take this seriously, since we live in a world where to get a more energy-efficient hardware platform, you just wait for one. If we are talking about battery life and such, then obviously any sort of optimization which makes us use less instructions is better. Also, doing things in RAM instead of swapping to HDD might be more energy-efficient. |
The Less Watts site is a good place to start. |
Of course you probably don't want to purposefully build software that is energy-ineffecient, but I think this really misses the point. Productivity software in general should be considered energy-efficient, because no matter how much energy the program itself requires it's going to be orders of magnitude less than the real-world task it replaces. So what if your app requires an extra watt to retrieve and display that fancy document from the file server, if it means a person didn't have to get up and retrieve and actual real paper document from a filing cabinet. Now there's no energy expended in producing and delivering the paper (or the filing cabinet and office space to hold them both, for that matter). Even eye-candy UI features can be energy efficient. Maybe your new flashy/pretty whizbang UI feature requires more cpu time, but if it helps someone complete a task in less time than it used to you'll still end up with a net savings. Or maybe it helped drive sales of the software in the first place, such that without the nice graphics people would be using inferior software and therefore less productive. Using StackOverflow as an example, let's say it was built to be very energy inefficient, such that even simple searches require 4 times as much electricity as a comparable service. But if it saves you from spending an extra hour Googling those other sites it comes out to a net gain. In other words, if you believe in you have a quality product, then you have an energy efficient product. It's much more important to focus on providing a good workflow that people will actually use. |
At the IPCV 2008 conference, I saw a presentation that included data for calculating the cost of each instruction on a mobile device in units of power (I believe it was picowatts). Given that as a starting point, I imagine you could make an optimizer that reduced cost simultaneously in computation and power. I don't think it's trivial, but it is certainly possible. |
Eliminate the servers, P2P rules :)
Energy efficiency in programming is, when the value is maximized and the environmental costs are minimized. In other words, it can be green programming, if your application consumes more computer resources but has a shorter time to market. Simply because the environmental costs of a late product launch can be much bigger. |
Support older operating systems and hardware, some hardware upgrades are driven by new software. |
I think something that is going to help here is the advent of cloud computing. Now that you are going to be billed for every CPU second, every HTTP request, every byte of storage, there is much more motivation to code economically. |
An interesting thing to think about - how CO2 do you produce while optimizing your code, and how much CO2 is it going to reduce? I can imagine that developing software is a quite CO2-intensive process... ;) |
Use a native code compiler. Yes, you will have to write code to explicitly free used objects. The benefit is that you save the run time environment from having to run a garbage collector that continuously tries to determine which objects aren't in use anymore. Also, disable compiler options that waste run-time CPU cycles, like range checking. A well tested program must never violate range constraints, so range checking is only needed during debugging. |
During test phase for different operating systems, different configurations, use virtualization (virtual machine) instead of adding new computers or servers. Virtualization can also be an alternative when we need to add more servers while the usage of available servers are not optimal (underload) yet. |
As for energetic efficiency, from now on all my software (tools to) will put the monitor on standby if the software or the computer is not used for x minutes. Of course there many tools and system way to do this, but not every user know about it or know how to do it. So from now on it's a standard feature. Saving the planet one disconnected monitor at a time. |
write all your code by hand. It will take longer therefore you will think more about what you write. End result is less bugs. Then get a fast typer to type it all up for you on an electronic typewriter(using very little electricity). At bug review: put all your code on an ereader(you'll be looking at the same page, so no page refreshes!) to look for bugs. Unit test by hand. for compiling: Use an interpreted language instead. |
In: A Shortcut Through Time - The Path to the Quantum Computer, by George Johnson he states: Reversible computing includes both hardware and software technologies. Search "reversible computing" on Google for more on this. |
I've not come across much at an application level but at the db level there are a class of databases called sensor networks. These are typically battery powered and in remote locations so power consumption is an important factor. Sensor dbs are usually in a snooze mode and 'wake' when they need to collect data or when they transmit. Without reading the paper about them, this stuff seems very 'embedded' and I've no idea on metrics but I would guess power consumption would be higher when :
Aside from the absurd solution where you just don't compute (and therefore you don't need the electricity...) The aim is simply to do the most work with the least amount of energy. Outside of the hardware realm (which you just lower the voltage and frequency), you just have to make sure the work could be done in the least amount of actual execution time. This is probably a pain to measure because of OoO Execution, etc etc. I wouldn't lose sleep over it, as long as you use efficient algorithms and such, and not bloat your code unnecessarily. |
Don't open your computer ;) If you need to open your computer, don't send spam mail :O If you need to send an email, you must be use plain text. Don't use the HTML format and pictures. Don't browse rich web site :P (Like as this site.) Joke, joke... |
Set up your IDE to show a black background rather than white. This will give you extra battery time on a laptop. OS X users can actually invert the entire OS's colours (black <-> white) by pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+COMMAND+SPACE+BACKSPACE+INSERT+8 (or something like that). |
Develop on VIM with a black background. Build your apps to have dark backgrounds. |

Al-'Arifi also stated that "Prince Nawaf would not like his wife or daughter to participate, and thus he should likewise be eager to protect the reputation and virtue of his Muslim sisters." Of course there's nothing wrong with trying to protect people's virtue and reputation; however, the fact that this only applies to women and not men is telling. Women under Islam are seen as sex objects only, which is why a man's female relatives must be covered up and controlled at all times in order to protect the family's honor.
Translated from Donia al-Watan, 26 November:
Al-'Arifi Demands that Saudi Women Be Stopped from Participating in the Olympic Games Because It Is Forbidden
Donia al-Watan (Gaza), 26 November 2011
Shaykh Muhammad al-'Arifi, member of the Muslim Scholars' Association and a well-known preacher, directed an appeal to Prince Nawaf bin Faysal, general president for the Protection of the Youth, in which he asked him to employ all legal means to stop Saudi women from participating in the Olympic games. He stated that Prince Nawaf would not like his wife or daughter to participate, and thus he should likewise be eager to protect the reputation and virtue of his Muslim sisters. Al-'Arifi also stated that sports is a desirable thing in Islam, including for women to practice sports. In general it is permitted. However, if it leads to women mingling with men, or uncovering their nakedness, or men watching them while they are running, falling to the ground, laughing, crying, fighting with another player, riding horses, performing gymnastics, wrestling, and so forth; and if cameras are filming this is and it's being aired by stations, then there's no doubt that it is clearly forbidden (haraam). Women's participation in the worldwide Olympic games, or in foreign or domestic public tournaments, over time could leads to acceptance of her uncovering her hijab, expanding the types of clothes she wears, and also shrinking and tightening her clothes, little by little.
He added that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a country which is distinguished throughout all the world and is special, for it is the Muslims' qiblah, and the birthplace of Islam and the Message. It belongs to all Muslims. They must see among us a faithful adherence to Islam, and respect for the teachings of the Shari'a.

MSI is one for the overclockers, they have been in the past and the K8N Diamond Plus is once again. MSI uses the AMI BIOS for its boards. While good, we have found Award BIOS to be a more tweakable BIOS setup, but each to their own - MSI has used AMI for a while and it seems to work for them.
Once you enter the BIOS, you need to visit the Cell Menu section in order to gain access to all of the overclocking features. First on the list is AMD Cool'N'Quiet. When this is enabled, Windows is able to lower the CPU multiplier and voltages when the CPU is at idle, this allows AMD Athlon 64 CPU's to run much cooler and consume less energy in their idle state.
Next is Adjust CPU FSB Frequency option. MSI gives you settings from Default of 200MHz up to a max of 450MHz in 1MHz increments. While 450MHz isn't obtainable these days, it's still nice to see this option available.
Next is a sub menu called AMD Overclocking Configuration. In this menu you have access to the Hammer FID and VID options. FID gives you the ability to lower the CPU multiplier manually, or raise it if you have an Athlon 64 FX series CPU. The VID function allows you to override the CPU default voltage to give the CPU some extra juice.
You can adjust the CPU voltage from 0.08v up to a max of 2.15v in 0.05v increments. To get this high you need to run the extra overvoltage option. DRAM voltage range extends from 2.5v to 3.2v in 0.1v increments. Northbridge and Southbridge voltage ranges from, 1.2v to 1.8v in 0.1v increments.
Using all these features we managed an FSB of 358MHz with our CPU at 4x DRAM voltage a 2.9v, CPU at 1.55v, Northbridge and Southbridge at 1.4v. Overall we were impressed with the stability and overclock-ability of the K8N Diamond Plus.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Minnietoo!
Facts about Minnietoo
- Breed: Miniature Pinscher
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Minnietoo's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Minnietoo is a petite, pretty little black and tan female that is about 18 months to 2 years old, is spayed, up to date on her shots, micro chipped, heartworm tested and on monthly heartworm preventative. Minnietoo rides well, is kennel trained, gets along well with other dogs (both large and small) and most humans! Minnietoo is a very sweet dog that loves to be around her humans - - and she recently went camping and other than being chilly, loved the adventure! She is about 11 inches tall and about 10 pounds. She is a very animated and happy dog. She will need basic obedience with her new human but she is working on walking on a leash and her basic house manners. Consistency and persistence will help her understand what is being asked of her and she will be very happy to learn whatever her humans want to teach her!
Is your family ready to share your home with a little girl that is a snuggle baby and searching for her forever home?
If you would like Minnietoo to join your family, please go to www.minpinhaven.com and fill out an Adoption Application (under Online Forms).
Other Pets at MinPinHaven
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Minnietoo, a Phoenix Miniature Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Miniature Pinscher for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Miniature Pinscher dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

Mang it! Dirty water again
Manganese is the main villain causing brown water to flow from your faucets today, says the Fayette County Water System. The other villain in parts of Peachtree City is just plain old mud.
But don't sweat the brown stuff, says Floyd Jones, Fayette County clerk, in a news release late Tuesday afternoon. It won't hurt you, he says.
They've shut the valve controlling the manganese-tinted water, Jones said, and they've just shut off the water in the Golfview Drive area of Peachtree City, where a broken pipe let in lots of mud.
The Golfview Drive waterless problem is expected to be over by Tuesday night, Jones said.
Here's the county news release in its entirety:
Fayette County Water System Responds to Instances of Discolored Water
Fayette County, Georgia, August 6, 2013 – Certain areas of the county began seeing discolored water coming from their taps over the last couple of days.
The Fayette County Water System reported that the issue stems from the South Fayette Water Plant. The discoloration issue resulted from a problem with treating the manganese in the raw water.
Water System Director Tony Parrott ordered the valve closed at the plant until the problem is resolved.
The operator in charge at the South Fayette Water Plant, Bill Stevens, stated that the finished water levels of manganese did not exceed the official standard.
Water System staff has begun flushing the hydrants in affected areas. It is possible that the Water System could open the valve to City of Atlanta water to meet demand.
Since the valve to the South Fayette Water Plant has been closed, the issue is not expected to worsen and will eventually bleed out of the system.
Additionally, there was a water main break in Peachtree City on Golfview Drive. Mud from the water main break worked its way into the piping system; therefore, workers had to shut off the water in the area to make repairs.
The water is expected to be back on later today.
Residents with questions are asked to contact the Water System at (770) 461-1146 or email@example.com.
According to Wikipedia, manganese is an element with both health and industrial uses. In trace amounts, it is present in many foods and is vital to human health. In much larger amounts, it can be poisonous to mammals, including humans.
Just found out that the manager of the water plant on TDK Blvd was fired last Friday, Aug 2.
Word is that Tony is trying to blame him for the problems that the water dept has been having, but the employee I talked to said that even though the manager needed to be terminated, that he had NOTHING to do with most of the screw-ups in the water department. And that almost all of the stupid decisions are because of upper management, because they knew the manager of the water plant was too incompetent to trust handling any real problems, so Tony was calling the shots the whole time.
The state inspectors have made a list of all the problems they found with Fayette's water dept. The public needs access to that list. What has been going on and why!?
The water employees are saying that the problems are bad and that there are a lot of them!
Let us see the list!
just had a transmission line spike outside their equipment and all power here went out and came back on. Of course, that happened while I was typing my love letter to Tony about the above and wiped it all out of the system here.
So let me just say this. Short version now. Tony, you and Kracker Jack and the rest of the 8 plus month departed might be sitting back having a few yuks over your and their neglect and your total lack of management skills, but don't think for one minute you will have the last laugh.
When you have those grandkids wheel you some day over to the granite slab with your name carved on it over near the new Scottish H2O hole in the ground, please remember that your legacy will no longer be what you envisioned it to be. No, your legacy is now etched in new stone, new granite. Right here on the pages of The Citizen.
Some of us can see thru the brown muck from the last 2 days and the stench from June to realize the bigger picture here. Chairman Brown, others on the BOC, Mr. Rapson, and staff at the water system will not be the recipients of the ire about these water debacles. They will clean it up, just as with every other filthy legacy, but those who live here will always remember the source.
An old Scottish proverb comes to mind below.
Now engraved on a rock near Lake McIntosh.
"One may survive distress, but not disgrace."

A Wine Cellar Whodunnit
December, 2009, Louisville, Kentucky.
If you believe Joseph Banis, 41, it was his boyfriend, Jeffrey Mundt, also 41, who capped a night of porn, methamphetamine and group sex by repeatedly stabbing and then shooting their alleged drug dealer, James Carroll, 37. Banis' lawyers say Mundt was jealous because Carroll and Banis were sexually involved, leaving Mundt out of the fun.
That, however, is not how Jeffrey Mundt tells it. He claims that they were both in bed with Carroll when Banis changed positions to attack Carroll in a violent fit that, in his drugged-out state, Mundt at first mistook for sadomasochistic role-playing. When Mundt finally realized that Carroll, screaming and covered in blood, was near death, he says, he leaped from the bed, to find his boyfriend Banis ready to turn a gun on him, threatening him, before using it to shoot Carroll.
The couple hid Carroll's body in the wine cellar of the house they shared on Old Louisville's Fourth Street. Banis says that Mundt vowed to kill him and his family if he didn't cooperate; Mundt insists that Banis had threatened him —and his cats.
The day following the murder, after Mundt went to work as usual, the men bought a 50-gallon heavy-duty plastic container from a home improvement store. Banis says that Mundt broke the dead man's legs in order to fit him inside the box; Mundt describes Banis attacking the corpse with a baseball bat to accomplish the fit. Mundt has claimed that Banis forced him to dig a five-foot-deep hole in the wine cellar to bury the box, with room to bury him too if he didn't cooperate, and that Banis doused Carroll's body with paint thinner to destroy DNA evidence. Mundt does admit that it was his idea to use lime to mask the stench of decay.
The State holds that both men are responsible for Carroll's death, prosecutors arguing that the couple had planned to rob him for his cash and methamphetamine and kill him.
Could They Have Gotten Away With It?
On the surface, Jeffrey Mundt seemed like the more respectable half of the couple. He held a computer-science degree from Indiana University and a master's degree from Northwestern University. At the time of Carroll's 2009 murder, Mundt was working in information technology at the University of Louisville.
His partner, Joseph Banis, was a club owner who'd already been to prison on drug charges. He had multiple tattoos, and was sporting a teal mohawk at the time of his arrest.
The couple had had a brush with the law even as Carroll rotted in their wine cellar. In April 2010 they stayed in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency, where they asked a doorman to change a $100 bill—but the doorman noticed the bill was wet and he thought it looked too green. When the hotel reported the suspicious bill, Chicago police searched their room and discovered another $55,000 in mostly counterfeit cash, along with three guns, knives, fraudulent identification (Washington IDs with their photos but different names) and the date rape drug GHB. Cops charged them and released them on bail ($50,000 for Mundt and $200,000 for Banis, because one gun was found on his body and the others were in his luggage).
At the time, the incident baffled investigators and the press alike, though it's now clear that that may have been an escape attempt, but it was their tumultuous relationship that finally got them caught a few months later. In June 2010, Mundt locked himself in a bathroom and called 911 to report that Banis was threatening to break down the door with a hammer and kill him. Banis offered information on a murder to keep himself out of jail. Mundt separately delivered a similar story.
Detective Jon Lesher was so skeptical of the men's allegations that he wasn't even sure there was a body in the basement. No one had reported the supposed dead man missing. The detective contacted James Carroll's family, who told him he was in prison. But when cops couldn't find a record of that, they returned to the couple's home with shovels and started digging.
Jeffrey Mundt arranged a deal: He'd testify against his boyfriend in the murder of James Carroll if he didn't have to face the death penalty himself.
Both men were charged with robbery, murder and evidence tampering. Reputed bad-boy Banis went to trial first, appearing before Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry in March 2013. The trial took less than two weeks. His boyfriend's testimony was at the center of the case orchestrated by Assistant Commonwealth's Attorneys Josh Schneider and Ryane Conroy.
The First Trial
Defense attorneys Darren Wolff and Justin Brown called lead witness Jeffrey Mundt's reliability into question in Joseph Banis' trial. They said that text messages between the two men while the murdered James Carroll moldered in their basement didn't indicate that Mundt was a man who felt threatened by an abusive and manipulative partner. Rather, the texts the defense quoted suggested mutual affection. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the "he said, he said" nature of the case, the prosecution countered with texts in which the two men argued, and both threatened to kill themselves. Furthermore, the defense pointed out, had Mundt truly feared retaliation from Banis, he could have helped keep Banis behind bars after the Chicago arrest. Instead, he posted $20,000 bail to free his partner.
The defense aimed the blame at Mundt. Police witnesses acknowledged that Mundt had changed his story across the course of the investigation, first claiming no knowledge of the murder, then pinning it on Banis. The defense also questioned the validity of the cops' investigative procedures, specifically Metro Police Detective Collin King's failure to confiscate a knife that was on Mundt's keychain when he was questioned.
Initially police had assumed that the killer had used a bigger knife, but the smaller weapon nonetheless became an important piece of evidence when the defense submitted photos showing that Mundt owned Kershaw knife, the same type that expert testimony and police had connected to the murder. Mundt claimed he bought the knife after Carroll's death; Chicago police confiscated it during his 2010 arrest. Kentucky State Police firearms examiner Lisa Collier testified that a gun seized in the Chicago counterfeiting arrest matched the type that killed Carroll.
The defense also relied on testimony from James Jenkins, a man who'd been in jail with Banis and testified that Banis had admitted to planning to kill his sexual rival.
In an unexpected twist, Banis did not take the stand in his own defense.
Smearing Mundt, however, would not save Banis: The jury only had to agree that they were both involved, not determine who wielded the knife or pulled the trigger. The jury deliberated for 10 hours, was sequestered overnight and continued deliberations the next day. On March 8, 2013, they found Banis guilty of robbery, evidence tampering and complicity to murder, and of the drug charges against him.
Prosecutors planned to ask for the death penalty, but on March 11 Banis waived his right to appeal in exchange for limiting the sentence to life in prison. He will be formally sentenced in June. James Carroll's mother, Ellen, who is against the death penalty, was satisfied with the sentence.
Jeffrey Mundt is scheduled to go to trial in May 2013 in what promises to be a lively proceeding. By March 14, Mundt's attorney had already filed an emergency motion to have Banis' computer at the jail seized and analyzed for evidence tampering. Mundt claims that Banis hacked his profiles on dating/meet up sites about which Mundt was extensively questioned during Banis' trial. Banis' attorney insists that the jail computer's Internet access had been disabled.

The first thing to notice is the thin sole. Immediately, you feel close to the ground. The barefoot feeling can never be fully replicated in a shoe but if you need protection from the weather or the terrain, this is the alternative. The removable insole also allows you to choose just how barefoot you want it to feel. The 4mm sole achieves a nice balance of allowing you to feel the ground whilst at the same time protecting you from stones and thorns with its puncture resistant sole.

Samsung has announced the NX300, the newest in its NX series of APS-C mirrorless cameras. Although the NX300 looks similar to its predecessors, the NX200 and 210, it includes a series of updates that show seamless signs of integration between Samsung's smartphones and cameras.
The NX300 is built around a 20MP sensor that includes phase-detection focus elements to allow a Hybrid AF system for faster focusing. It was upgraded with a larger screen than any previous Xs - the 3.3" OLED screen has 768k dots (essentially an extended version of the existing screen) - that's also touch-sensitive. A faster processor assists the NX300 hit nine frames-per-second for continuous shooting, and allows 1080p movies to be shot at 60fps. Upgrades to the camera's Wi-Fi should make connectivity simpler than its predecessors.

1 (12-18) And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. |

Calling all NCGA Alumnae
NCGA turns 20 in 2004
Head coach of UW-Eau Claire, Lisa McIntyre gave birth to her first child on October 30th, 2002. The NCGA family welcomes Alina Marie McIntyre who was born at just under 4 lbs and 16 inches long. Congratulations to the McIntyres!
Jennifer White, a 1997 graduate of Springfield College and former NCGA all-american gymnast (silver medalist on bars in 1996 and 1997) is now an NCGA coach. Jennifer has taken over the reins at UW-Whitewater after Wendy DeMore's departure. Wendy herself was an NCGA National Champion on bars in 1989 who did a fantastic job with the Warhawks program. This past year they were on the verge of qualifying to Nationals as a team for the first time since 1986. We wish Wendy lots of luck in her new career and welcome Jen back to the NCGA!
Looking for all NCGA Alumnae and Coaches
Over the years, the NCGA has lost many programs as Division III schools dissolved their gymnastics teams. Salem State, Bryn Mawr, Tarleton State, West Point and UW-Superior are just a few of the schools that have left their mark in the NCGA record books but no longer have a gymnastics program. We would like to try to reconnect with all of those alumnae and coaches. In fact, we would love to get a hold of anyone that was associated with the NCGA over the years in any way. All of us that have been with the NCGA for a number of years know that this is a very special Association and we believe that everyone holds some great memories about their time with the NCGA. Because of that, we would like to throw a big NCGA birthday party when the NCGA turns 20 in 2004. In order to do that, we need everyone's help in locating all members of the NCGA family. Please help us spread the word, and join our NCGA-Newsletter list by e-mailing our webmaster
The NCGA ran it's first National Championships in 1984. It is quite unbelievable that we will be turning 20 years old soon. Rumors are starting to fly and plans are in the works for a possible NCGA 20th Anniversary Reunion sometime in the winter of 2004. We would like to invite as many alumnae and past coaches as possible, so we are asking for help in spreading the word. Dig up your old teammate's addresses and get in touch with them. I'm certain that there will be a lot to talk about and remember. You may not believe how far the NCGA has come along in the last 5 years and we would like to give everyone an opportunity to get involved in this Association that we are so proud of. Let's throw a party and get back in touch with those wonderful friends we made in the NCGA. Keep checking back here for updates, or join our NCGA-Newsletter list by contacting our webmaster

World Series of Poker (WSOP) officials have announced possible plans to honor the late Jerry Buss.
TMZ is reporting that a representative of the WSOP told them that they'd like to honor Lakers owner and longtime poker fan Jerry Buss at the upcoming WSOP.
"At the appropriate time, we will seek to ask the family to honor [Jerry's] legacy by possibly naming our WSOP Seven Card Stud Championship after him or awarding the victor a special perpetual trophy in his honor."
Buss was a regular in high stakes poker games for decades, specializing in Seven Card Stud but willing to take on all comers at other poker games including No Limit Hold'em, Omaha, Razz, and mixed games such as H.O.R.S.E.
Buss cashed in a live poker tournament as recently as late 2011, with his last WSOP cash coming in a 2011 WSOP Omaha/Seven Card Stud event where he finished 25th for $6,214. His best WSOP finish was a third-place finish in a Seven Card Stud event in 1991 where he won $33,250.
Lifetime poker tournament winnings of nearly $200,000 were pocket change for a man who owned the LA Lakers but they spoke to his seriousness and dedication to the game. Buss was also a fixture in high-stakes poker games in California and Las Vegas, appearing several times on the poker television show "High Stakes Poker" as well as on NBC's "Heads Up Championship".
Buss passed away on February 18 after a long battle with cancer. Numerous poker pros took to Twitter to express their condolences, with many remarking that Buss was one of the nicest and most humorous celebs to play poker with and was a great ambassador for the game.

I bought this non working mower off of Craigslist for $20, took it home and cleaned it all up, drained the gas tank and cleaned it out and put new fuel/oil mixture in, and new spark plug and wouldn't start, after reading that the coils go bad on these things I bought a new coil and installed it and now I have spark but still wouldn't start. I tried pouring some gas directly into the carb and she fired right up but dies right after all that fuel is spent. So for some reason the fuel is not flowing through the system properly, what would cause the gas to not have a continuous flow through the engine?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The carburetor. Remove it and clean the needle seat assembly, clean all passages. Use a wire, carb spray, compressed air, or other carb cleaning solutions to clean and check the passages. |

Yep. It needs a good carb cleaning. Should get it going fine. |

Buy the way, which year 10415 do you have? The 1993 and 1994 came with the metal Walbro carb and the 1995 model came with the plastic carb. |

I also have a lawn boy 10415, just purchased and has same issue, no spark, not sure how to remove the housing around engine. removed screws and lifted pull rope assy, but didn't see anything else holding the molded top to the lower part of cowling, any suggestions? Pls advise |
- Posted by orangedotfever (My Page) on Wed, Apr 20, 11 at 9:31
You've got the 4 screws holding the recoil assembly on and one more horizontal screw in the back facing straight out the back under the fuel tank. It points toward you if you stand like you were pushing it. The rest holding it would just be the fuel line and throttle cable. |

Ballmer drops bomb on Seattle
The critics were right. Steve Ballmer's NBA money bomb clearly shows no public money was needed to build an arena in Seattle in the first place.
Seattle Times staff columnist
To "Ballmer": To act boldly with great enthusiasm, without regard for politics, economics or common sense.
Seattle, we just got Ballmered.
Microsoft billionaire Steve Ballmer has many talents, but he's never been known for carefully weighing the potential fallout of his brash statements or aggressive actions.
Remember, this is the guy who when the U.S. Department of Justice headed by Attorney General Janet Reno was pressing Microsoft to change some of its business practices, responded with this bit of diplomacy: "To heck with Janet Reno!"
So while it was vintage Ballmer that he dropped out of Seattle's quest for an NBA team and instead bought the Los Angeles Clippers for an astronomical $2 billion, I bet the ripple effects of this atomic money bomb on Seattle politics will be profound.
Remember that public-private partnership for an NBA arena down in Sodo, for which Ballmer was to be the big private money? It's said to be forging ahead, as if nothing seismic had just happened.
Except now, how can the Seattle City Council possibly remain committed to the idea this arena needs public money to be built?
The project backers have been adamant they need $200 million in bonds from the government as a way to get the upfront capital to both build the arena and buy a team.
Chris Hansen, the arena's main private backer, has a page at the project's website, sonicsarena.com, devoted to this appeal called "Why is Public Financing Needed for the SoDo Arena?"
It reads: "Given the significant financial risks the investor group is shouldering and the amount of equity financing required for the team and Arena (well over $300 million), the investor group believes that the public contribution requested is required to make the project financially viable."
Well that sounds like baloney in retrospect, doesn't it?
For the amount Ballmer just paid for the Clippers, he could have built a new Sodo basketball arena all by himself, plus built the Safeco Field baseball stadium, plus built the CenturyLink football stadium and still had more than $600 million left over for buying a team.
I have been favorable to Hansen's arena since it was proposed because I like basketball and because it's a far better deal for the public than any past stadium around here.
But clearly the ground has shifted — both the political ground and the crazed Ballmerian economics of pro sports.
As one of my favorite commentators on pro sports financing, Neil deMause of Field of Schemes, writes: "The leading theory for what the hell just happened is what you might call billionaire glut: Thanks to the U.S. economy's increasing propensity for concentrating all its wealth in a tiny number of people, there are a heck of a lot more rich guys like Ballmer in the market for sports teams these days, and not an appreciably larger number of sports teams for sale. That imbalance of supply and demand drives prices through the roof, with would-be hoops magnates bidding each other into oblivion in order to find something to buy with their money."
These are the same issues that dominate Seattle politics these days — wealth inequality, corporate subsidization and the power imbalances in society. Since the city and county first backed the Sodo arena plan, a lot has changed. We gave Boeing the biggest state tax breaks in U.S. history, and the company thanked us by laying off thousands of engineers. We elected a socialist. Addressing wealth inequality became the driving cause of local politicians.
Now we find that when it comes to sports the problem isn't raising capital. It's a billionaire glut!
The city of Seattle, which is slated to put a hundred-plus million in bonds into the arena, has not given final approval to that plan. What they passed two years ago was an agreement to do the studies while Hansen and his group pursued a team. But many council members have told me that their "yes" votes back then do not mean they're necessarily going to be "yes" votes for a final go-ahead.
I bet Ballmer's money bomb just unwittingly blew up the already shaky political support for this project.

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
Announce that it is WIT Time. Remind the youth they will use this time to think about their own answers to today's Big Question. Remind them that the question is "What are we?" Then continue with words like these:
Imagine you are home alone when a little green alien suddenly floats in. You look at the alien and say "Who and what are you?" The alien looks back and says "You go first. Who and what are you?" You are a bit nervous about this alien. You do not know how it got into the house and you do not know what its powers are. You decide you had better do what the alien says, and go first.
Without speaking, write on the posted newsprint how you might answer the question "Who and what are you?" Write as many answers as you can. One answer can be your name. But you are more than your name. You are also "a this and a that and a something else"—maybe a student, or a world famous young movie star, for example. Make at least one of your answers about all of you, not just one—say what and who you, the youth in this room, are as a group.
Give the youth about three minutes to write. When most have finished, ask them all to stand back and read what everyone wrote. Focus on the words "Unitarian Universalists" if somebody has written it down. If nobody has, ask if these words are another good answer for the question "What are we?" for the group. If they agree, write "Unitarian Universalists" on the newsprint.
Now say:
Imagine that you gave the alien a whole bunch of answers. The alien did not react until you identified yourself as a Unitarian Universalist. Then the alien looked puzzled and said "What is a Unitarian Universalist?" How would you answer that? How can you explain Unitarian Universalism?
Allow a few responses. Then say that you want to share a story about young person who had to answer that question.

Hiu Gao, otherwise known as Leo Gao, faces 16 charges of theft and two charges of money laundering in relation to the missing money.
Mr Gao's lawyer, Ron Mansfield, was in the High Court in Auckland today appealing a Rotorua District Court decision denying him electronic bail in January.
Justice Murray Gilbert reserved his decision after a 90-minute bail hearing and said he hoped to deliver his ruling at 4pm (2pm AEDT) today.
The basis for the bail application and the judge's reasons for the bail decision are suppressed.
Mr Gao, 31, had sought a $NZ100,000 ($78,580) overdraft from Westpac but the bank inadvertently credited his account with $NZ10 million.
He allegedly left New Zealand after the money was deposited in his account.
The charges against him relate to the theft of $NZ6.8 million.
Mr Gao's former partner, Kara Hurring, is also charged over the incident.
She was charged after returning to New Zealand and has been released on bail.
Ms Hurring was due to be tried this month but the Crown wants the pair to be tried together.
Their trial is likely to be in the second half of the year.

That is because the LP sends MIDI using running status, and there
is no way to reset it (i.e. force a status byte on the next message),
except a power cycle. The top row uses controller events while the
rest uses key up/down. After re-opening the device the driver code
needs a status byte, and usually using the top row will provide one
(assuming the last event in the previous session was a key one).
Actually *most* events are unambiguous even without a status byte,
but you'd need some ad-hoc code in the driver to exploit that.
A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
