steveG...where do you live? Do you have to speak good French to call? I could get some results tomorrow
I am French, so I can manage the language OK ;) . I suspect it is better to speak French quite well to call the press centre. The person was very helpful but spoke relatively fast and not that distinctely ;) .
I live currently in South-East Asia.
It would be great if you could call tomorrow :D , if you live in France ;) .
If not, I am certain that some French poster will do it.

Here's the reply from the guy in charge of the website regarding score update : les résultats des matchs seront sur le site presque en direct toutes la semaine
N.KoslowFor non French speakers, it's saying that match results will be posted nearly live all week long.
I asked him to send me the qualifying results and he replies main draw. Unless he intends to post nearly live the same way as yesterday :rolleyes: .

It's a Browning BPS Stalker 3.5" pump shotgun. Synthetic grip and stock. It's all black (oh scary looking).
Anyone have any experience with this brand. Est on what retail might be on this gun? (curious to see for when the 1099 comes)
Are there accessories avail to convert this to a house gun? (shorter barrel, folding stock.... etc?

July 16, 2014
Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Chris Koster today announced that the 33 states litigating against Apple in the e-books antitrust litigation have reached a settlement that will pay up to $400 million in consumer damages if the liability order entered against Apple is affirmed by an appeals court. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, would resolve a July 2013 ruling that Apple conspired with five publishers to increase retail prices of e-books from 2010 to 2012.
Missouri joined the investigation prior to the filing of the lawsuit, served on the expert committee, and assisted with discovery and preparing the case for trial last June.
Following the trial, Judge Denise Cote ruled that Missouri, the other states, and the United States Department of Justice had proven that five leading publishers - Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster - conspired to eliminate retail e-book competition and raise prices ahead of the impending launch of the iPad. The judge found that Apple played a key role in facilitating the conspiracy, which would not have succeeded without their involvement. Apple has appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Consumers have already received compensation from a $166 million settlement fund paid by the five publishers involved in the conspiracy. The $400 million settlement with Apple is contingent upon the resolution of Apple's appeal of Judge Cote's 2013 ruling. The settlement provides for less relief if the decision is remanded for a new liability trial, and no relief in the event it is reversed without remand.
"E-book price increases were not the result of market forces, but rather a scheme that involved five publishers and was orchestrated by Apple," Koster said. "If the judgment against Apple is affirmed, Missouri consumers will share a total of $6.4 million in settlement compensation from this settlement, to be distributed based on e-book purchasing information. Affected consumers will recover approximately double the amount they overpaid due to the conspiracy, a clear victory for Missouri consumers."

Are we there yet…?
I should be working, but today has been a nice day, and I've been a little distracted. I'm at the end of week 5 for Timbles, and on the whole, everything is coming along fine with that.
However, I can't help myself but think about the last 7 months. During that time I have managed to release The Lords of Midnight for iOS ( iPad, iPhone, iPod touch ), Android, Blackberry Playbook, Blackberry Z10, Mac OSX, Microsoft Windows, and Kindle Fire. I find it odd, that I often berate myself for not having brought all the versions to market as quickly as I had intended, however I need to remind myself that there is only me for the majority of the time, and support from Jure for the graphics, and I am only working on it part time.
With the release today of the Windows version, I feel close to wrapping up this little chapter that started… well it's hard to say when it started. 30 years ago with the release of the original game, 24 years ago with my work on the DOS version, 14 years ago with my Windows version, 5 years ago with the opening of the Apple App Store and approaching Mike about releasing it for iOS, 2 Years ago when Mike finally said yes, or 9 months ago upon his death.
On Monday I intend to try and build a beta Windows 8 Phone version that will allow me to get a Windows 8 Phone through a Microsoft/Marmalade promo programme. This is how I approached the Blackberry versions. With full acceptance from Microsoft after that, the Windows 8 Phone version should be available in their store later this year. Not before the end of August I suspect, mainly because I have a 3 week holiday coming up. Once that is done, I don't think I will be looking at any other platforms, although I must admit, I would love to see it on a console in some fashion…
There is still a lot I would like to do with LoM, but that will have to wait. I intend to push out a couple of updates this year, there are some new features for the mobile versions, and no doubt some bugs in the desktop versions. But my main focus will be Doomdark's Revenge now. Only after that is released can I really take stock of the games and come up with some major grand plan. I would like to release one major update every year, and I do have the ideas that would fit into that category.
The last seven months have been more hectic than I imagined, the next seven months I suspect will be much more so. I must remember to take more time to think…

Both Apple and Blackberry versions have now been approved… the War of the Solstice is truly nearly upon us. Available in both stores on The Winter Solstice, Midwinter's Day, 21st Dec 2012.
Over the next week I will be working on the Blackberry10 version ( to be ready at launch ), and the Android version. Hopefully the Android version may also hit Google Play store… something to aim for bouncy castles for sale.

- (2014-15)
Overnight Flight to Shanghai
Take an overnight flight to Shanghai. On arrival you'll be transfered to your hotel. You will then be free to relax after your flight before the welcome meeting at 6:00pm. Details of where this will take place will be with the hotel's reception. Hotel - 2 nights
Your China adventure begins properly today as you set out to explore its most modern and progressive city, discovering how 21st century architecture is blended with China's old-world character. In the morning, you will go on a walking tour of historical Shanghai, including the Bund with its spectacular array of art deco style buildings, the European influenced French Concession and the narrow, winding lanes of the Nongtang.
The French Concession is the area of Shanghai that was once designated for the French and today it consists of the Luwan and Xuhui Districts. Luwan's Huaihai Road is a busy shopping street and is also home to both Xintiandi and Tian Zi Fang, which are extremely popular shopping and dining hotspots. You'll really get a sense of being in the 'Paris of the East' as you wander the area's tree-lined avenues past Tudor mansions.
Next Morning is at your leisure before you board an overnight train to Louyang. (Approx. 16hrs).
Sleeper Train - 1 night
Train travel in China is not luxurious, but it is one of the best ways to see the country and its people as it is the main form of transport for locals. You'll be in hard sleeper coaches, which consist of open-plan compartments, with padded three-tier berths (six to a compartment). A sheet, pillow and blanket are provided, although some people like to bring their own sleeping sheets. Basic bathroom facilities are located at either end of the carriage, but bringing your own toilet paper is a good idea! Safe, hot drinking water is available throughout the journey and most trains have a dining carriage where meals are available three times a day. You should be aware that compartments are mixed gender and on occassion due to availability issues, you may find yourself sharing a compartment with locals, or people who are not a part of your group.
You'll arrive in Yuoyang early in the morning and from there, board a local bus to Shaolin (Approx. 2hrs). The legendary Shaolin Temple is the birth place of Kung Fu and attracts thousands of young disciples every year. You will have the opportunity to watch the monks and their students practice their moves at the Shaolin Temple Wushu Training Centre, and even take part in the class (additional charge)! After class you can wander the temple's beautifully painted halls, adorned with deities and smokey with incense and explore the Pagoda Forest, which is one of the largest in China Hotel - 1 night
Longmen cave - Luoyang
This morning a private charter vehicle will pick you up and take you to the Longmen Grottoes, where you will see countless Buddha images that were carved into the mountain side around 1,500 years ago and are now a UNESCO world Heritage Site. Having been awed by the Longmen Caves, your vehicle will then take you on to Luoyang (total driving time approx. 2hrs). Once the imperial capital of thirteen dynasties, Luoyang played a crucial part in the introduction of Buddhism into China. If you want to learn more about this period of history then you can visit the Luoyang Museum, or White Horse Temple (both additional charge) where legend says that Buddhist sutras from India were first brought in the 1st century AD.
As a fairly small city in China, your time in Luoyang is a good chance to see and experience typical everyday Chinese life and to really get an inside look at the urban culture, which you will be able to contrast to village life later on in the tour. Why not check out a produce market, visit a park, have a traditional reflexology massage or join the locals for a game of table tennis? Hotel - 1 night
Xi'an - Terracotta Warriors
Mid-morning you will take the seated train to Xi'an (approx. 5hrs). The imperial centre of China for 2,000 years, Xi'an is now a vibrant, modern city dotted with many historical points of interest. A monument pays homage to the fact that the city was the start of the famous ancient trading route, the Silk Road and the city is still surrounded by it's city walls. In the afternoon you will get a walking tour of the city.
The next day you hop aboard a local bus (approx 1.5hrs) to visit the incredible army of terracotta warriors. After being buried for thousands of years, they were unearthed in 1976 by farmers who were digging a well. Over 7,000 clay soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been discovered. Standing in battle formation, they were commissioned by the emperor of the Qin dynasty as part of his mausoleum. Most of the statues have since been restored to their former grandeur and there are several pits on view to the public.
Back in Xi'an you can escape the noise of the city in the peaceful Great Mosque (additional charge) and try some local food from the Muslim Quarter. Alternatively, if you want to get a different view of the city, you can climb to the top of the bell or drum towers (additional charge). The bell tower is in the centre of downtown Xi'an where the city's four main roads converge. Originally built in 1582 and restored in 1739, the tower was used to announce the time of day and served as a watch tower. The Drum Tower marks the entrance to the Muslim Quarter and originally contained a drum that was used to signal the closing of the city gates.
Your last day in Xi'an you will have the morning at leisure and board your overnight train to Chengdu in the afternoon (approx. 17hrs). Hotel - 2 nights, Overnight train - 1 night
In early morning you will reach the Land of Milk and Honey and transfer to the Panda Breeding Centre (approx 1hr). Due to a variety of reasons, including habitat destruction, the giant panda is possibly the most famous endangered animal. The centre is home to around 50 giant pandas, but also has some red pandas and a colony of black-necked cranes. The best time to visit is in the morning, when the pandas are most active, they usually sleep during the hottest time of the day. This is a great opportunity for you to get a close encounter with these gentle giants and learn about conservation issues.
Even though it is one of China's biggest cities, Chengdu has managed to keep a lot of its traditional flavour and you can still find plenty of teahouses, markets and some of the most interesting food in the country. If you like it hot, then this is definitely the place to be, as Sichuan food is known for its spicy flavours. Must tries include huoguo (hot pot) and mapo doufu (spicy tofu). Hotel - 1 night
Sichuan Countryside
The next two days will be spent exploring the beautiful and traditional countryside and you will head to the mountains for a taste of ancient China. After a two hour drive you will stop at your lovely guesthouse, located in a town with 2,000 years of history and a profound cultural heritage. You'll then take a stroll through the village and tea terraces for a few hours, where you can help pick tea leaves and soak up the mountain scenery. This evening and tomorrow you will then explore a few traditional villages and ancient towns, with hikes to some mountain spectacular views. Guesthouse - 2 nights
Your next stop is the city of Beijing where you will get to explore some of China's most iconic sights. After transferring back to Chengdu (approx. 2hrs), you catch your flight to Bejing (approx 3hrs flight) and transfer to your hotel. The capital of the most densely populated country on Earth, Beijing is quickly shedding its historical face in favour of the more modern. However, there are still plenty of places that will give you a great insight into the nations ancient past, and the first on your list the the infamous Tiananmen square. Best known in recent memory as the focal point of the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989. You will also visit the incredible Forbidden City, the former imperial residence of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, where you will spend approximately three hours exploring its secrets. The afternoon will be at your leisure and you may like to hire a bike and cycle to the Temple of Heaven (additional charge), or jump into a rickshaw and explore some of the local markets.
No trip to China is complete without a visit to the Great Wall and taking a walk along this incredible structure makes a fantastic finale to your adventure. The Great Wall of China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups, is one of the greatest wonders of the world, and was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.
Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 8,851.8 kilometers (5,500 miles) from east to west across China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.
You will transfer to the site (3hrs drive) and walk for 8km (approx 5hrs) soaking in the magical atmosphere and endless view of the country and mountains. In the afternoon will be your last chance to buy more souvenirs and further your exploration of the city's treasures. Hotel - 3 nights
You should be aware that the walk on the Great Wall is physically demanding in places, with lots of steps, steep climbs and uneven footing. You'll need to be reasonably fit and have good walking boots with ankle support. It's a good idea to bring a picnic lunch with you from Beijing to enjoy atop the wall.

What can i do about the bees on my Hummingbird feeder?? The past couple of days these bees are invading my feeder and i don't know what to do about them. They chase my hummingbirds away from the feeder...and i don't like that at all!!! i love my Hummingbirds and i have to get rid of these pesty bees! What can i do???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
lori68: welcome to our world of Hummers :) Its great fun. today I recieved 2 Hummzinger Hummingbird feeders which I purchased of Ebay. These are called Hummzinger Excel. The saucer type which jeffrey_m_grower just told you of. I already had 2 Perky Pet bottle type, but they dont have bee guards. And YES they get coverd with bees. Flys can even get INSIDE them. Everytime I change nectar theres a fly or 2 inside Uggh! From visiting the Hummzinger website I see the ones I got today are not the type which I can add bee-guards but these are alot more resistent then the bottle type cause the insects cant reach the nectar. I also got a set of 4 hand feeders from ebay but they DRIP like mad. So that was a lost cause! Anyway.. this whole thing of getting feeders is a learning experience but at least Ill be all set for next yr :) Now all I need to do is get the right plants planted to attract them :) good luck and enjoy. |

The color YELLOW attracts bees and wasps. Make sure that the feeding ports don't have any yellow on them. If they do, then take them off. They are usually just plastic pieces that you can take off with your fingernail. At least, that's the case with the Perky Pet brand. I too, recommend the Hummzinger. It's a wonderful feeder! Wild Birds Unlimited also sells them under a different name - but they are essentially the same feeder. |
Thanks everyone for helping me! i went to a pet food center here and they recommended the perky brand with the yellow plastic bee guards in the ports that keeps the bees from getting to the nectar. The bees are still buzzing around it but they can not get to the sweet stuff! FUNNY! I would show u a pic of it..but i don't know how to attach a pic here. |
- Posted by nva_birdcrazy (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 07 at 21:10
The yellow bee guards keep the bees and wasps from getting to the nectar, but they also keep the hummingbirds from feeding. My recommendation is to get rid of all yellow on the feeder. Take the bee guards off and snap the plastic flowers off the Perky Pet feeder. Then, and only then, will you get rid of the bees and wasps. |
- Posted by hummersteve Indy (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 07 at 21:20
Sorry guys Im not convinced on the humzingers and not having any yellow on the feeders doesnt keep the bees away, at least not the wasps Ive been plagued with all summer. My theory is even with the bowl typy and bee guards helps, I guess but the hummers sometimes get sloppy and drip nectar on the outside of base from their tongue/beak and this sticky is what the bees are after, but I may try a humzinger type next summer and see. |
nva_birdcrazy Seenms like if I took the plastic flowers off the insects would just fall into the nectar?? On my Hummzinger I might get one bee.. but on the bottle type of Perky Pet there are 25 bees if theres one! First the bees chase the Hummers then the Hummers chase them. The Hummers give up and feed at the neighbors :/ |
- Posted by nva_birdcrazy (My Page) on Fri, Sep 21, 07 at 6:10
If you take the YELLOW plastic flowers off, the bees won't be attracted to the feeder. So, you won't have a bee problem. Yes, there may be a stray one or two at times...but I doubt you'll even have that. I once had the exact same problem that you currently have. That's why I'm speaking from experience. I took the yellow plastic flowers off two of my hummingbird feeders because of all the bees/wasps. Voila. No more bees and wasps. Use the nectar guard tips with the Hummzinger and you definitely won't have a problem. I don't have the nectar tips, but some people do. I haven't had a single bee or wasp on two of my feeders all Summer. See the earlier posts. Try these suggestions before disbelieving. Enough said. |

I have the hummzinger shown in the photo above and for two years it had only a yellow jacket or two. This year we have been so plagued with yellow jackets, that yesterday I had to remove the feeder closest to our door. These are not the big, noisy bumble bees that bump into you and go passively on their way, these are nasty, stinging things that buzz around your face, come back aggressively if you try to shoo them away, and even continue to chase after you if you run from them. I think HummerSteve is correct when he says that they are attracted to the sweetness that gets dripped on the side of the feeder. I don't dispute that they find yellow attractive, but they'll go after anything that's very sweet, like grapes on the vine or fallen fruit of any color. They seem to get more aggressive as the summer wanes and their usual food sources start dwindling. Then it's easy pickings at the old hummer feeder. I checked this morning, and they have left the deck where the feeder was hung, but so has my hummer and that makes me unhappy. I will try the bee guards next season. I'll try whatever works. |

The HummZingers with the Nectar guards do the trick. We even have honeybee hives out back & they never bother the HummZingers or our hummers |
- Posted by nva_birdcrazy (My Page) on Tue, Sep 25, 07 at 21:01
That's a great testimonial for the nectar guards. Wild Birds Unlimited sells a package of them for $4.99, and this is the first year I've seen our local store carry them. I have two Hummzingers - and plan to purchase nectar guards for both. |
I set out a YELLOW bowl with some of the nectar in it, just below a feeder that I had...the bees flock to it...Since then I have taken down that particular feeder because it would leak (hence the bowl below it) and the bees still come to it... Now a sad part to this story...EVERYDAY I have to fish out 5+ bees (the small yellow jackets I think they are) who get stuck in it...mind you, it's not even thick or sticky, but watery (we had some rain that got mixed in) but for some unknown reason they land on it, and cant get out....As much trouble that bees in general have, I feel compelled to help them out...so I dumped out most of the nectar, maybe this will help...Moths and many other flying insects have also been lured in by this bowl of sugar water, and they too tend to get trapped...very strange. BUT they do keep away mostly now from the feeders....the bowl is their private feeder!!! |
I too for the first time this year have had problems with the wasps chasing the hummers away from the feeders and the feeders have no yellow at all on them. I saw some bee guards that fit over the holes but they were yellow(!) & it looked like they were too deep so that even the hummers couldn't reach the nectar. One suggestion on this site earlier said to wrap a cloth soaked in vinegar around the feeder glass but that had no effect on the wasps at all! The Hummmzingers shown here don't appear to have any guard on them though? Do you have to buy the guards separately & install them? Funny, so many have had this problem mainly this year; I never did before! - vieja |

I really don't think yellow has anything to do with attracting bees. I think it's the dripping nectar from the feeder or hummers, as HummerSteve said. One of my best feeders, Dr. JB's, www.drjbs.com has yellow ports. I've never seen a bee on the feeder. In fact, the only feeder I've seen bees near, and it was very late in the summer, was my Droll Yankees saucer feeder. It has red ports. I can't explain it, because they can't reach the nectar from the top and it doesn't leak. Droll Yankees does have bee guards now, but my feeder is about ten years old--can't attach them to this one. I may get a Hummzinger to replace it next year. Just wanted to add, too, the hummers can feed with the PerkyPet bee guards. Their tongues fit through and can get to the ports. I've used the PerkyPet Four Fountains with and without the bee guards. I don't seem to need the bee guards with that feeder though. Carol R |
This is the 1st year we have a yellow jacket problem. We also have a few bees as well. I have the pictured feeder - as far as I can tell. In the center of mine is a well that is filled with water. This drowns, unfortunately, both yellow jackets and honey bees indiscriminately. There is no yellow on the feeder or the bottle feeder next to it. It really doesn't make a dent in the jacket population, mainly because there is a jacket hive 100 feet from the feeders. I am hoping that yellow jackets hibernate the same as bees. My husband works with liquid nitrogen. The hive will be destroyed when everything is frozen over. They are living in a broken down bird house on the ground at the moment. Bye bye yellow jackets. No liquid nitrogen? Try setting the hive on fire with gasoline. Winter only, please. |

OMG, NOT gasoline! The fumes are explosive. If you must use a fuel to burn them out, use kerosene. Just make sure you're not violating any city ordinances or you could have some very angry firemen asking you what the $*@$&@& you are doing. There is a bee guard specially made for the Hummzinger. They're cheap. I'm pretty sure they're on Amazon. I have a set but have not had to use them. |
the yellow jackets die in the winter but the queen survives & starts a new colony in the spring. I have a bottle type feeder with the yellow flowers at the feeding holes. it seems to run in cycles but there might be an occasional bee or 2 at the feeder & then suddenly it will be loaded with bees for a day & then not. I have a lot of stuff blooming here & the heavy bee days may be days when the pollen &/or nectar is at lower level on the flowers. I have 6 bee hives on my property which is potentially 360,00 bees & the days when the bees overrun the feeders are few & far between, I have traps for yellow jackets & moths. yellow jackets can be harmful to bees as can wax moths. |
Do yellow jacket queens start their new colony elsewhere or stay around the area? This is the 1st year for yellow jackets, or bees for that matter, and we have had feeders for 30 some years. The feeders don't have a bee guard but the red one, like in the picture, does have an ant guard. Nothing gets in that feeder, and it's the preferred feeder of the two. Got it on Amazon. |
that would depend on where the nest is. if in the ground she'd have a good chance for survival & might stay put. if in an open nest or say an abandoned bird house she'd need to seek a warmer location. if you can locate the nest destroy it after spraying them or when they've gone dormant. if in the ground get a gallon of a good pesticide & mix it in a bucket with some liquid dish soap & pour it into the hole with a funnel. do this after they've gone dormant or if you have a problem nest during the warmer weather pour the mix in at night. wear long pants & sleeves, a hat, gloves, & cover your face with a bandana. pour it quickly & run like h**l. I know some will poo-poo this but gasoline or diesel fuel in a ground nest works too. if you're not up to it call a pro. yellow jackets & hornets can be quite aggressive . anyone in the St Louis area can contact me for swarm captures & bee removals from buildings & trees. this would be for honeybees only. 99.999 % of the calls I get after mid august are usually yellow jackets. |
Hello -I'm new to this forum and to hummingbirds, but to me they are the equivalent to Unicorns, except, you can actually see them. It's magic! I was taking care of a neighbours plants in our building this summer and was fascinated by her feeders and the traffic! I didn't even know we had hummers in this area ( Vancouver Canada ) We had a big problem with wasps this year, and she keeps her feeders unattractive to them by rubbing a bit of cooking oil on the ports. It deters the wasps and seems to have no effect on the hummers. I've since bought a feeder, took her advice and although it took weeks to get a visitor, it was "Clark" - a hummer, and no sight of a wasp at all. |
Wonderful pictures, OldFixer. Made me smile, thanks :) Cardio: Thanks for the tip about cooking oil. Will definitely try it next summer. Your comment about unicorns captured the essence of the little guys. Wonderful creatures. I'm glad you got to enjoy your very own little guy. If you have a place to put up a wire near the feeder, you'll find he comes to perch there to guard his feeder. I love seeing one sit on my wire. They'll often spend most of the day on the wire. My very last sight of one this fall was a little guy sitting on the wire, all puffed up trying to keep warm on a cold day. |
I feel so lucky and blessed that I have at least one hummer, so yesterday put up another feeder. "Clark" still seems to be the only visitor, so he will have plenty of food, and he seems to be pretty comfortable on my balcony in spite of "Boo" my curious cat. I keep my windows closed to keep "Boo" inside, and "Clark" seems to understand that he is out of danger - he will sit on the back of my satellite dish long enough to collect himself before flying off, unfortunately not long enough for me to get my camera and capture that magical moment. Perhaps he is teaching me not to capture the moment - but to simply enjoy it. Maybe I'm the birdbrain? |

- Forum: Cake Decorating
Hi everyone,
when I work with white fondant I don´t face this issue (at least not so often or seriously) but when I have to colour it I end up incorporating a lot of air into my fondant which causes quite a few air bubbles. I still don´t know the correct technique to knead fondant and not do that I guess.
Does anyone know any good video tutorial on this or fool proof method?
Thanks very much.
Cheers :)

AVSynthesis: Blending Light and Sound with OpenGL and Csound5
Now we can get started with AVSynthesis. First, edit the data/config.xml file for the runtime options for Csound and OpenGL. I added these options to set up Csound for running with the JACK audio server and to configure OpenGL for my screen dimensions and video frame rate:
<config csound="-+rtaudio=jack -+rtmidi=portmidi ↪--expression-opt -odac:alsa_pcm:playback_ -d -m0 -g -f ↪-M0 -b1024 temp.orc temp.sco" ksmps="16" width="1280" ↪height="1024" fullscreen="false" FPS="30"/>
Other options must be used if Csound is not compiled with JACK or PortMIDI support. See the Csound documentation for information about other startup and runtime options.
Next, I prepared the Csound and Java environments with these commands:
export OPCODEDIR64=/usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64/ export PATH=$PATH:/home/dlphilp/jdk16/:/home/dlphilp/jdk16/bin/
These commands can be added to your home directory's .bashrc file to automate this step.
Next, I used QJackCtl to configure and start the JACK audio server. This step is unnecessary if you're not using JACK, but I advise doing so for best latency.
Finally, I could start the program:
cd $HOME/AVSynthesis java -Xmx768m -Djava.library.path=./native -cp ↪AVSynthesis.jar:./lib/* org.hpk.av.AVSynthesis
This command calls Java, sets a memory amount for it, points the Java library path to the AVSynthesis/native directory, declares the classpath (-cp), loads the needed .jar files from the top directory and the lib directory, and launches the application. By the way, the cryptic string at the end is in the AVSynthesis jar file. It's a weird way to start an app, I know, but Java can be like that.
AVSynthesis takes two or more PNG or JPG images, blends them together in an animated sequence and treats that sequence with various transformations made possible by the OpenGL shading language. At the same time, the program creates a soundtrack that follows the same timeline as the video sequence. The soundtrack itself may be heavily treated by the synthesis, processing and composition algorithms provided by Csound. In AVSynthesis-speak, this combination of sound and image is called a layer. By the way, you can add your own PNG and JPG images to the AVSynthesis data/textures directory, and your own soundfiles can be added to the data/loops directory (for processing by the Csound loop instrument generator).
Given the space limitations for this article, it's impossible to describe the variety of controls over the image and sound processors fully. Consider this possible scenario for the audio section alone: up to three sound sources are available per layer, each sound source is one of five generator types, and each generator's sound can be modified further by up to three audio signal processors. Each processor is one of 13 types. Almost every parameter in the synthesizers and the processors can be modulated by one of eight envelope curves, and each curve is also subject to a modification of its time span. As you can see, it's complexity within complexity, and I haven't even considered the possibilities added by the sequencer and the mixer.
Let me describe an uncomplicated project—an exercise to demonstrate AVSynthesis basics. Note that my description only scratches the surface of this program, and that its full power can be seen and heard only in vivo. I've provided links in the Resources section to some demonstration files, but they merely hint at the possibilities. Worse, the necessary video compression codecs are unkind to the vivid clarity of an AVSynthesis real-time performance. With these facts in mind, let's proceed to the project.
AVSynthesis opens to the composition editor, the program's highest level. This screen is similar to a track display in a digital audio multitrack recorder, but a track here performs only one task. Each track is a timeline divided into 30 ten-second sections, and each section contains one stage of a simple three-stage line-segment envelope that controls the visibility and the corresponding audio volume of the track's layer. As we shall see, this envelope itself may be modified by factors working elsewhere within the program.
No text labels or tooltips describe the Composition screen's various functions, so the user must memorize their significance and purposes. Fortunately, there are relatively few functions on this screen. Figure 2 defines the other screen elements, most of which deal with performance controls and save/load functions. Later, we'll consider some of them more closely, but first, let's make a movie, with sound.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bionicle Heroes
- Publisher: Eidos Interactive
- Release Date: Nov 14, 2006
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Not even the allure of shiny robots with guns for arms can liven up this mind-numbingly simplistic and repetitive over-the-shoulder shooter.
Bionicle Heroes looks good, and has a decent license backing it, but completely fails to capture the magic that made the LEGO Star Wars games a hit. What you get instead is an average, boring shooter that's only worth playing if you have a deep love for the source material.
This is not a good game, there are to many disappointing features to warrant purchase and I swear I got a headache at one point from the loud graphics (I had to turn down the brightness on my TV).
Unfortunately, virtually everything else about the game has issues: the story is virtually non-existent, the action is repetitive and boring, and the puzzle elements are condescendingly simple. [Jan. 2007, p.108]

A dear friend recently lost his father and another friend commented that the "father thing" is huge, no matter the relationship.
Those with good fathers mourn the goodness of the relationship and the sweet memories of good days gone by.
Those with fathers who caused pain and turmoil in the family by their presence (or by their absence or indifference) mourn the relationship that never was but might have been.
The father thing, indeed, is huge.
To the editor:
I am so glad to know that things in our county are running so smoothly that our county attorney can take the time to be concerned with the size of an opponent's sign! I'm even happier to know that my tax dollars are hard at work supporting such childish issues.

Harrison County
On Tuesday, April 20, 2010, thousands of women from across that United States will join in a national day of action against unfair pay called Equal Pay Day. April is symbolic of the point into the new year that a woman must work in order to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. On a national level, women are paid only 78 cents for every dollar a man is paid, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So, because women earn less, we must work longer for the same pay.
The Harrison County Ag Development Board has completed the scoring of the 2010 Phase I applications.
The Board received 184 applications and 84 have been approved. The scoring on the applications ranged from 91.5 to 31.5 points. Those receiving 75 points or above were approved.
This approval is contingent upon producers attending the training which will be Tuesday, May 4 at the Harrison County Extension Office beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The Harrison County Thorobreds came back a little rusty from the week long lay off, but still were able to defeat the Pendleton County Wildcats 12-2 Tuesday afternoon.
Harrison County scored five runs in the bottom of the second on two hits, three walks and two Wildcat errors to start the rout.
The Wildcats did come back in the top of the third as they put together a hit, a walk and a fielder's choice followed by another single to pick up their only earned run of the game.
Go Harrison County! We have no crime here! We have no drug problem here! We have no industry or employment problems here! We have no children going to bed hungry here! We have no youth recreational facility problems here! What we do have in our county is a big fat "my opponent's campaign sign is too big" problem!
What a joke.

Why would the police department spend part of a $17,000 state traffic grant singling out motorcyclists? According to last week's newspaper article, it was because motorcycle fatalities were up and the police need to check licenses, permits, insurance and helmet laws. There is no helmet law for experienced riders over 21 years old.

Evans is the son of Donna Evans of Cynthiana.

I have seen Dave 3 times at comedy works. Once before anyone know who he was. The second time was when he was doing the show, and the third was after he quit the show. Every show was completely different and you could see Dave's transformation into who he is now. ALL SHOWS WERE GENIUS!! He is extremely intelligent and it comes out in his comedy. He can just talk without a script and is hilarious. I'm so thankful for all the times I have seen him live. He is truly the greatest comedian out there and probably that ever was. Can't say enough good things about the man and I wish him all the best. Would have gone to his shows here but forever reason I didn't get the secret show email =-( Super sad!!!

Women's History Month: 15 Women Who Changed Love And Sex Forever
15 of 16 | << First | < Previous | Next > | Last >> | Back to gallery |
The Couples Who Started The Gay Marriage Debate
The current debate over gay marriage in America began in Hawaii in 1990 when three same sex couples, including two lesbian couples, Ninia Baehr and Genora Dancel (pictured), and Tammy Rodrigues and Antoinette Pregil, applied for marriage licenses. When the judge refused to marry them, they sued. In 1993, the state supreme court ruled that denying gay couples the right to marry was a form of gender discrimination. The case went back to the lower courts and arrived again at the state supreme court, but before they could rule on it, Hawaiians voted in favor of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in 1998. Should Judges Decide Who Can Get Married?
In reaction to the fight in Hawaii other states began to consider the legality of gay marriage, leading to the 1996 Defense Of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman and allowed states to not recognize same sex marriages performed in other states. President Obama just declared the law unconstitutional. No matter what happens in the future, the battle over gay marriage has become a defining feature of 21st century America.

Mourinho eyes 8m move for City's brooding Brazilian Elano
Jose Mourinho is ready to reignite his interest in Manchester City midfielder Elano. Inter Milan weighed up a move for him in January and have now been linked with an £8million summer move for the unsettled Brazil international. The 27-year-old says he wants to stay at Eastlands and Mark Hughes also indicated he had a future at City, despite appearing less regularly in his team. But Elano has been dispirited by the club's refusal to reopen contract talks. Hughes is reluctant to renegotiate with a player who still has two years to run on the four-year deal he signed when joining from Shakhtar Donetsk. Former Chelsea boss Mourinho, who has won the Italian League in his first season with Inter, will use the uncertainty to launch a bid, according to The Sun.
