Phoronix: Wine 1.1.27 Released With New Support
Three weeks have passed since the release of Wine 1.1.26, but having an extra week has not led to any particularly great changes within the just-released 1.1.27 version. What has changed in Wine 1.1.27 is a new version of the Gecko web rendering engine, GSM 06.10 codec support, improved support for the disk volume APIs, and support for XShm pixmaps to improve the graphics performance...
You will be amazed how cool each release is, if you read through the bug fixes.
Any sane person would trade 3 bug fixes for one new feature. The funny part is most of Wine's progress is measured by getting Windows apps to work properly - which equates to bug fixes.
Yes, it is unbelievable the bugs they fix.
Imagine first have to debug binary code, and then reverse engineer it, and then write WINE code that talks to the binary blob in the right way.
Just read some of the bug titles. It is so impressive that they are able to fix these obscure bugs.
I am also one of those that don't care one bit about Linux gaming. So what if a game is ported to Linux. That doesn't change anything.
What I do care about is WINE being able to play a game, that it wasn't before! That's news!
Anyone that is porting games to Linux, should stop what they are doing, and start working on WINE.
When WINE in complete, Linux users can play ALL Windows games, and not having to wait for someone to port it.
For OpenGL games that should be already true as for example Doom 3 via wine is not much slower than native. D3D however is often much slower (and more complex). Then a highend 3d card delivers the speed of a lowend one.
- Unless the full source code of a game is available to those wanting to do porting, the effort is pretty futile.
- Actually, Windows has so much "legacy" support, that it really doesn't change all that much between versions. See wine myth #3.1
- Even if the code is available, if the game uses D3D then all those calls have to be "converted" to their OpenGL equivalents. However one improvement in Wine's D3D support can, by proxy, improve the gaming experience in many hundreds of games on linux, without the enormous effort (and bank balance) required to port a game.
- Wine is not an emulator. This isn't just a cute recursive acronym, it's actually a description of the program. See wine myth #1.
- COD4 obviously runs into some bugs in Wine on your system. It would probably be more efficient to investigate the slowdowns in Wine, rather than port the entire game to Linux.
The only case where I think it is a good use of resources to port games to linux is where the game's source is available, and it doesn't use D3D.
Of course, if companies like Aspyr want to go through the effort of porting a game, good for them
I can't believe what you are saying? Wine is a good alternative yes, but I would much rather play a native game.
3DSMAX version 7 and prior.

My Favorite Aragorn Stories
Playlist Navigation Bar
Haven of Rivendell, The: 3. Dreams and Pledges
In the orchards of Rivendell, Gilraen watched her son gathering late summer fruit with Elladan. The boy, with faultless aim, had just pelted the elf-lord with an apple and he in turn swung her son, squealing into the air. She could tell it was the younger and less stern of the twins by the grayness of his eye and the elusive auburn in his black hair when the sun caught it just so. He was the one who laughed, told stories, sang, and had been her husband's best friend. Elrohir's eyes were grey-black, the color of storm clouds, and his hair was midnight. He was grim and quiet with an air of danger, but just as caring and gentle with her son. The pair had appointed themselves the boy's protectors and never left his side unless he was asleep, cuddled in the safe confines of his bed in Elrond's house.
The waning summer sun warmed her back. She turned her attention from the fruit gatherers to the tapestry piece she was embroidering, autumn leaves trailing down a long belt: an accessory for a russet gown she had recently completed for the harvest festival. Since coming to Rivendell four years before, Gilraen had changed. She was no longer the sparkling, bold woman who had caught the Chieftain's eye. Now she dressed now in the faded shades of late fall. Her golden hair even seemed to have dulled to fawn. Grave is how Elrond described her. Perhaps it's because my spirit has gone to the grave with my husband, she thought.
At first, Gilraen had not wanted the marriage with Arathorn and argued long with her parents. It was not, as some believed, that she had not loved him when first they had met at the summer gathering at Annúminas, but because she did not wish to leave her home in the peacefulness of the Angle. He was so much older and so grim. She would have chosen one of the laughing young men whom she hunted with, when it came her time to wed, one she could control. Arathorn, though, had proved unstoppable in his suit and she had adored him in their short time together. The tears on his cheeks the day she had presented him with a son had bonded him to her forever. She relived their shared wonder at the proclamation of her mother Ivorwen that this baby was the king that has come again.
For a short time, life was wonderful for the young wife, even the rough life of the Dúnedain at Fornost. Then, two years later, her husband was dead, and now she felt old, as old as the stone buildings around her, and as suspended in time as they appeared to be.
Gilraen leaned back, shutting her eyes so the dappled light through the trees spun patterns on her lids. Colors exploded, swirling in gold and red, and suddenly she saw It: the thing that dueled with forest orcs for time in her nightmares, a fiery eye, searching, searching for her son. Behind her translucent lids, she saw him, a man grown, walking under golden flowered trees with the radiant dark elf-maiden she knew was Elrond's daughter; she saw him on horseback clad for war outside a towering white city; she saw him in chains, knelt before the Dark Lord, bruised and broken. As always, she knew these were things that might be. As always, she knew they were only dreams, wisps of the future, but as always a horrible panting panic filled her. She tried to warn him, tried to tell him about the eye. But he never seemed to hear her no matter how loudly she called his name.
"Mother!" Her embroidery had fallen from nerveless hands and her six-year-old son stood impatiently before her, holding it. Elladan stood a few paces behind, a worried look in his eyes.
"I'm alright," she assured the elf lord. "Thank you, Estel." She rested her hand on her son's thin shoulder.
"Who's Aragorn?" Estel asked, head cocked, eyes half-closed in concentration. Even Elladan was startled.
"No one. Why?" She ran her hand through her son's tangled, dark hair.
"You were calling out that name." Soundlessly, she shook her head. Estel looked at her curiously a moment and then announced they were ready to leave. He trundled ahead with the apple basket and she leaned a little heavier on Elladan's arm than was her wont as they made their way from the orchard to the house.
A month later, the air held a crispness that heralded the coming winter. Rivendell's folk busily dug, picked, and dried, storing the year's harvest to guard against winter hunger. On this day, Gilraen strode in the Lord of Imladris' private sanctuary. Elrond looked up startled that anyone would enter his study unannounced when he was closeted with a visitor. Seeing who it was, he smiled. Lady Gilraen was welcomed anytime but seldom visited the elf-lord. Elrond wished he could hit upon something to make life more bearable for Arathorn's widow. Painfully, she reminded him of Celebrian, after the orc attack, distracted by shadows he could never see. She smiled at his guest.
"Mithrandir. I did not know you were here." The smile almost seemed to kindle Gilraen's eyes when she turned to the wizard.
"Lady. I hope this fine autumn day finds you well." Under his bushy brows, Gandalf's eyes seemed to take in all and know that all was not well with her.
"Lord Elrond, I must speak to you. It is of extreme importance and I must speak now." Gandalf rose to leave but she said: "Stay please, Mithrandir, your wisdom is always a comfort." Her commanding words held a strength that surprised both of them and the lord of Imladris cocked a brow over her head at his friend. He ushered Gilraen to a seat and she began, queenly and composed.
"You must help my son. You both must help my son." She turned eyes, moments before so dull, now burning with a fire, now filled with hope and light, on the pair.
"As with all the heirs of Isildur, I will shelter and train him. When he is old enough, he will be sent off to be chieftain of his people," Elrond offered.
"No! That is not his fate! He will not go north to spend his days hunting orcs and trying to defend his scattered people as our world spins down and at last winks out. Aragorn was born to greatness." She declared, gaze leveled at Elrond.
"Now, lady…" he began, a worried looked passed between him and Gandalf.
"No! Hear me." She drew herself up even more regally. "I have had a dream. I, too, am of the line of Elendil. I see things also, my lord." And he knew of what she spoke.
"I have seen the great Evil coming. I have seen my son a man grown. Without him, this evil cannot be defeated. He is a piece in the puzzle. He must be there to bring elf and men and others together."
Elrond was silent for a long time. "I, too, have seen this, Gilraen, but it must be his choice."
"This I know and he will make the right choice, but pledge to me, Elrond, and you also, Mithrandir, to help my son..." She rose and walked to the open end of the room and looked out across the hillsides west, seeing farther than even the sharpest-eyed elf. "…for his path will be long and the journey one to test the mettle of the most worthy." She turned back to the two. "He will need wise guidance. He will need strong friends."
"He will have my help, lady, and all the blessing of the Eldar." Elrond stood before her, taking her hand again. She saw him not as the wise lore master but as Gil-galad's second, a warrior who had faced down the Dark Lord in the past, and took comfort in his strength.
"And, he will have mine also. All that I know I will use to aid him," said Gandalf, "and he shall be the light of the West and a great leader of men." The wizard seemed to increase in stature and light blazed from him. Gilraen staggered, feeling the great power that swept through the room, and she would have fallen but for Elrond's strong arm.
"Thank you," she murmured, too tired suddenly to speak more, once again the sad and solemn widow from the north.
"Lady, you are not well. Come, I will help you to your room," Lord Elrond encouraged. She lifted her head and straightened her shoulders, standing tall, an ember of the fire re-ignited in her eyes.
"You are wrong, my lord." Her smile was dazzling. "I am very well. Better than I have been in years."

Devon, 17, is used to paying her own cell phone and car expenses. But lately it's been harder. The family she babysits for hasn't been calling as much and she couldn't find a job over the summer. Devon's dad says it's a sign of the tough economy. He told her he's feeling the pinch, too, and that he had to dip into her college fund to pay the mortgage.
These days it's hard to avoid news about the economy. Turn on the computer or TV and words like "recession," "foreclosure," and "unemployment" fill the screen. It can seem a bit scary — and some families are hit really hard.
But as discouraging as things may seem now, the good news is that the economy always gets back on track after a while.
For some people, the slow economy means eating out less or staying home instead of going on vacation. Parents may not have as much money to put toward allowances or college funds. For other families, though, money problems mean bigger changes, such as a parent taking on a second job or the family having to move to a less expensive house.
When a family has money worries, it's easy to get frustrated and upset — and if you feel that way, you're far from alone. Parents also might be more stressed out than usual. They might argue more and worry about how to pay for things.
Naturally, this can put extra stress on you, too, especially because parents' money problems aren't something you have any control over. But although you can't solve family money troubles, you may find that contributing in some way helps you feel better.
It's comforting when our lives and routines feel the same, so it's natural to feel worried if things change.
Here are some practical and emotional survival tips for dealing with a tough economy:
Being creative helps you feel good about yourself at times when life isn't going as you planned. And coming up with free ways to have fun gives your creativity a chance to shine.
Some ways to stay entertained are obvious: Go to the park, ride a bike, take a neighbor's dog for a walk, volunteer, or cook dinner for your friends or family. But why stop there? Think of this as a time to challenge your imagination:
Eventually the economy will turn around. When it does, you'll be well equipped to deal with any other challenges and difficulties life throws your way!

Could you try against E17 composite manager (trying with both Software and OpenGL would be interesting to know also) ?
Michael, I think you mentioned that Metacity isn't a compositing WM in the article... might want to fix that.
It's pretty interesting that the oldest Gnome WM and KWin are the most resilient. I guess investing in stability has tangible benefits! :3
Could you try against E17 composite manager (trying with both Software and OpenGL would be interesting to know also) ?
I'm curious how E17 would go here as well, with massive disclaimers that while the EFL has just had another bugfix release, E17 itself is still "in the works". Going the whole hog with an E16 comparison too would be good.
gnome-shell/mutter, unlike the other compositing window manager tested here, is vblank-locked to 60 fps.
also, gnome-shell/mutter does not unredirect fullscreen applications - meaning it'll still composite fullscreen apps like games.
these two issues combined explain a huge chunk of the drop in fps.
And referring to the tests that's why I'm stuck at gnome-shell in forced fallback mode and with compiz running. It's not only games, it's HD videos and flash also. Not always less frames per sec., but sluggish and choppy motion with mutter. That's with the latest catalyst.
I think the best way to avoid such problems /with display manager/ is to start every fullscreen application like games in new x-server display.
It sounds like this extension that Carmack talked about might be useful; anyone know what that is?

How high does the ring stand on the finger?
I originally received the wrong color ring. It contained white diamonds and I was not impressed with it. Customer service was wonderful and I soon received the ring I had originally ordered with the blue diamonds. It was just beautiful, and all I thought it would be. Considering I had received the wrong color ring to begin with, all in all I will say the whole exchange process was easy and fast. The ring's quality and price were excellent , and I feel if I had purchased this ring at a regular jewelry store, the cost would have been at least 3 times higher....

Beautiful blue diamond ring
I originally received the wrong color ring. It contained white diamonds and I was not impressed with it. Customer service was wonderful and I soon received the ring I had originally ordered with the blue diamonds. It was just beautiful, and all I thought it would be. Considering I had received the wrong color ring to begin with, all in all I will say the whole exchange process was easy and fast. The ring's quality and price were excellent , and I feel if I had purchased this ring at a regular jewelry store, the cost would have been at least 3 times higher.Read More
This band looked so nice but when I received it I was so disappointed. The stones are so small you can't even see them. My birthstone is sapphire and I was looking forward to wearing it as an everyday band I will keep it but VERY disappointed!!Read More

Life in Palestine
Jews in the Land of Israel from the destruction of the Temple through the Ottoman Empire.
In 70 CE, the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire, effectively ending Jewish rule in the Land of Israel until 1948. While the Jewish population was not given a decree to leave the land, the conditions, such as the fiscus Judaicus, a special tax imposed on Jews, were grave enough to convince most residents to disperse around the globe.
A Small Community Remains
Still, some Jews did remain in Palestine. Bar Kochba led a small band of Jews in a revolt against the Romans from 132-135 CE in response to the building of the new Roman city "Aelia Capitolina" on the grounds of Jerusalem. While the revolt was met with violent and harsh retributions, by the end of the century, the Romans officially permitted Judaism as a sanctioned religion in Palestine.
When the Christian Byzantines took control of Palestine in the fourth century, many restrictions were put on the remaining Jewish community, from banning intermarriage between Christians and Jews to forbidding Jews from owning Christian slaves. There was talk of banning Judaism outright, but those plans never came to fruition.
Despite its smaller pool of scholars, the rabbinic academies of Palestine were able to complete what is known today as the Talmud Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Talmud). Though the Babylonian Talmud is considered to be the more authoritative work, the Jerusalem Talmud is still one of the most important contributions to Jewish literature.
Life under Muslim Rule
In 638, Caliph Omar conquered Jerusalem from the Byzantines, launching Muslim rule over the territory. While Jews and Christians were considered second class citizens, the amount of direct persecution decreased substantially.
The community in Palestine was fairly quiet during the early Islamic period. A rabbinic academy was formed in Tiberius (and later moved to Ramle) in order to compete, unsuccessfully, with the ten Jewish academies in Baghdad.
Christian Rule: More of the Same
In 1099, Crusaders arrived in Palestine and created a Christian kingdom in Jerusalem that lasted until 1187. The Crusaders banned Jews from living in the city of Jerusalem, though they were permitted to live in the rest of Palestine, and were permitted to visit Jerusalem.
But Christian rule was short-lived. In 1187, Saladin and the Ayyubid dynasty conquered Jerusalem. Indeed, while Christian Europe wanted to establish a permanent presence in Jerusalem and the Middle East, they eventually retreated to Europe after the Muslim recapture of Acre in 1291.
In 1258, Baghdad fell to the Mongols. Fearing a collapse of their empire and wanting to prove their strength, the Muslim rulers imposed harsh sanctions on Jews and Christians throughout the region, including Palestine. These restrictions--including wearing special clothing and doctors not being allowed to serve Muslim patients--were enumerated in the seventh century Pact of Umar, a list of laws concerning non-Muslims living in Muslim lands that had previously rarely been enforced.

My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Getting blown out after 5 days of practice cant feel good. Not even is a meaningless game. Then again, the Saints sucked in pre-season when they hit the reset button in '06, look how that turned out.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Next game Monday @ Dallas.
Open practice Saturday.
Game ends with Roberts, Wright, Miller, Alabi, and Warrick on the floor.
so we scored 26 points in the 2nd half... equals what we did in the 1st qtr alone... and what the Hawks did in the 3rd qtr alone
Looks like it'll be us and the Pistons getting thrashed tonite.
Hopefully next game is televised. Dallas schedule says its televised on KTXA. Hope that means NBALP
Houston and Miami will be televised as well.
We're looking like a Jump shooting team. We're going to have hot and cold stretches. Good thing, Gordon has the ability to slash and score around the basket at a good rate. Rivers is learning that it's hard to score in the post at the NBA level. His struggles in preseason thus far has been finishing around the basket. He's going have to adapt fast to contribute.
Thanks for the updates guys.
That 3rd quarter--holy schnikes! If they are going to have stretches like that, I hope they get it out of their systems in the preseason.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Forever hating the nickname, the logos, and the colors. Still backing the team I've loved since 1994.
Stolen name. Stolen colors. Stolen identity. Still the same old worthless Slobcats. Suck sludge, Charlotte.

Korean Style Refried Beans
While I was thinking about the recent Korean and Mexican fusion dishes that I made recently, I was also thinking about side dishes and one thing that came to mind was Korean refried beans. When I make refried beans I often spike them with some freshly toasted ground chilies and cumin and I was thinking that a Korean version could use gochujang, a Korean fermented chili paste, and sesame both in the form of toasted and crushed seeds and oil. I usually fry my refried beans in bacon grease to add flavour and since I rarely have bacon grease on hand that means that I need to cook some bacon and if I am cooking it anyways I might as well throw it as well. Since pork belly is commonly used in Korean cooking I decided to replace the bacon with some uncured pork belly. Next up was the beans and since I generally regard azuki beans as Asian I decided to use them instead of the usual pinto or black beans. The Korean style refried beans were easy to make and they turned out really well. They were nice and creamy and full of flavour. I really like the way the spicy and tasty gochujang worked with the creamy azuki beans and the sesame aroma definitely made me think of Asian cuisine while I was eating it. The Korean style refried beans worked well as a side dish for the Korean BBQ short rib tacos.
Korean Style Refried Beans(makes 2 cups)
Printable Recipe
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 ounces pork belly (or bacon, thinly sliced)
1 small onion (chopped, optional)
1 clove garlic (chopped, optional)
1 (19 ounce) can azuki beans (or pinto, black, etc., drained and rinsed)
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted and crushed)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the pork belly and cook until it turns white.
3. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the beans and gochujang and cook until warm.
6. Mash the beans until you get them to the consistency that you want and stir in the sesame seeds and sesame oil. (If the beans are too thick you can add water to thin them out.)

Hilarious! I laughed out loud at it 3 days ago, forgot about it, then came back yesterday, and laughed out loud again.

I agree with this guy. Concerning all the hullabaloo going around the Internets regarding plagarism, it's best if you steer clear of that whole mess.

I could make them a darker gray and resub.. you guys think it'll be worth it?
The title "Payback" implies that it is a sequel to Duck Hunt, in which case the orange zappers were out already. Personally I like the orange zappers.

thats the same dilemma i had when i went to see shutter island last friday. i am quite interested to see the crazies, but i still made the right decision. i loved shutter island. i find that when it comes to scorcese, critics dont know what the hell theyre talking about.

Nice design. You might want to change the angle of the flagpole a bit so that you can see it going to the ground; as it is, it looks a bit like he's stabbing himself with it. Other than that, I very much like the lines and expression.

Re: Leprechaun on Unicorn Playing Polo!
Why are you not in the fog, my lovely oversized leprechaun? I so admire your unicorn handling skills. ;-)
I wanted to vote for this shirt, I really did (and still might), but I have an issue with your blocks. You've got 6 (?) colors to work with, which should be enough for at least most of the shapes, but your blocks of the same shape have different colors. First, I noticed the vertical pink line is one too long to be the 4x1, but conceivably it's more than one block partially deleted by completed line. But then I saw the same shapes repeated (2x2 square, left- and right-bend "L" blocks) that had different colors. Arguably, this is only a minor issue (and not easily/quickly recognizable, so the shirt is still wearable), but I'd suggest a resub fixing this issue, if there's time.

walmazan wrote:Go go go!, almost there!
Thanks so much guys! I'm glad you like the colors! I hadn't originally planned this on white, but it just made the color choices that much easier. I was originally going to go with orange, or red maybe, but I would turn that layer on and off because it hurt my eyes to stare at it that way, haha. That's when I decided to keep it white.
Every single time I've looked at woot this derby, I feel a compulsive need to comment on how much I like this shirt. I need this shirt. It cracks me up so much. I don't know why. But I love it. It's just too funny. And it's so bright and colorful.

Re nuclear waste: A lot of it can be reprocessed into usable fuel. France does it.
Or, just use a breeder reactor. They produce more fissile material than they consume. (No, I don't know how it works either.)
But what I'd REALLY like to see is fusion. Much better than fusion, in my opinion.
Also, Michael, is it possible to download all the images in an archive? I'd like to flip through them all, but the back/next links sometimes break (i.e. don't appear at all).

Thanks Michael for that great post. The pictures and text are stunning.
Many who have replied to this forum eagerly defend nuclear energy as safe, clean, economical, etc, etc, and etc.
The indisputable fact is that Chernobyl is just as "alive" - as fatally radioactive - today as it was 24 years ago only an hour after the tragic failure.
For those interested, I have posted this shameless link to ongoing news of a nuclear nature.
I suggest that everyone bookmark and read the NRC postings of Nuclear Event Reports for all reactors in the USA. Most are minor, but there are dozens every week. Here they are for
2009 and 2010.
It's certainly true that you wouldn't want to rub your scrotum on any foliage near the reactor building, but it's a *long* way from the 10-minutes-and-you're-dead levels immediately following the accident.
First off, nice pictures. Photojournalism is probably the best way to get more attention on Chernobyl, as it should be. There are still plenty of russian design RBMK's around the world, so it's best that everything that still exists is out in the public.
Secondly, a young woman did one of the first phototours of this area from her motorcycle about 5 years ago. Her exploits are now hosted on
www.kiddofspeed.com. She did two phototours and they are very interesting. She has a couple of others including phototours of areas of Nazi and Mongol invasion, separated by a thousand years but occurring on the same land. Also one of the orange revolution in 2004.

Wealth and income gap
- Written by Super User
Study: Texas Wealth-and-Income Gap Continues to Grow
By Peter Malof
AUSTIN, Texas - A new study based on census figures shows the gap between the rich and poor continues to grow quickly. The most recent figures say Texas has the seventh-highest inequality of any state. Analysts say it's becoming a serious issue for the economy as a whole.
According to Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow with the state fiscal project of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, D.C., the gap has grown nationally for three decades, but has become worse in the last 10 years.
"When the economy has grown, the lion's share of that has gone to households at the top. What we've seen in the last decade is that the incomes of the households at the bottom are actually declining."
Economists stress that rising inequality is not inevitable, noting that the gap between rich and poor actually fell between World War II and 1970. It also fell for a brief period during the economic growth of the late 1990s, they add, partly due to Clinton-era tax policies and a rise in the minimum wage.
McNichol calls inequality bad because it makes the economy less flexible. People who work hard and play by the rules should be rewarded, she says.
"There's a question of fairness. Economic growth comes from the contributions of people in all walks of life. When your place on the income scale determines whether you get rewards for that work, then that's a problem."
Education, job training and tax policies at the state level can make a big difference, she adds.
"Assistance in child care, job training, transportation and health insurance can help families get jobs and move up the income scale."
Texas also ranks seventh among the states for income inequality between high- and middle-income
The full report is available from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

About ECM
November 7 , 2012
Elliott Carter 1908-2012
The great American composer Elliott Carter, who has died at the age of 103, was one of the most influential figures of musical modernism, and the range of his work was vast. As the Guardian has written, Carter sought a modernism beyond fashion, rooted in a new kind of syntax, and to achieve that some European sophistication would be necessary. All the things he had absorbed would eventually find a place in his modernist idiom: the idea of dramatic personages found in Mozart operas, the independent layers of English madrigals, the syntactic rigour of Arnold Schoenberg and the combination of strict and free rhythm in jazz pianists he admired.
It was the composers enthusiasm for Thomas Demengas
combining Bachs 3rd cello suite with Carter pieces including
Esprit Rude, Esprit Deux, Enchanted Preludes, Riconoscenza per Goffredo Petrassa
Triple Duo
, which opened the door for new recordings of his music on ECM. I have never heard the Bach C Major suite played so understandingly and so convincingly, wrote Carter in a letter to Demenga. A dedication to the cellist, the solo piece
, appeared on
Lauds and Lamentations
, alongside pieces for old friend Heinz Holliger. As a former oboist himself, Carter particularly enjoyed writing pieces to display Holligers mastery of dynamics and colour. Much of Carters late music had a celebratory flavour. When you get to my age you just want to have fun, he explained to one reporter.
Ever the experimentalist, Elliott Carter composed his first opera when nearly 90, inviting British music critic and novelist Paul Griffiths to write the libretto. The world premiere recording of
What Next?
, was issued by ECM New Series in 2003, complete with a What Next Diary by Griffiths, documenting the collaborative process.
Other ECM albums incorporating pieces by Elliott Carter include Michelle Makarskis
Elogio per un'ombra
, Kim Kashkashian and Robert Levins
, and Reto Bieris

Sophie Calle, 'Pour la dernière et pour la première fois'
The Marais

Time Out rating:
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Posted: Fri Sep 21 2012
With Sophie Calle, art and life, her truths, are always woven tightly together, never presented separately. If the form of her works varies – texts, photos, films, installations – the material remains the same: intimacy, hers or others', is what binds her creations together. She's already exhibited photos of her 'fake marriage' to her real-life partner, had about a hundred female singers, shrinks and criminologists analyse the letter she sent to dump an ex, and created a scathing installation on the death of her mother (shown at the Rencontres d'Arles last summer) – this time, she opens up the lives of others, with a new exhibition at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin.
Called 'Pour la dernière et pour la première fois' ('For the last and for the first time'), the exhibition pulls together extracts from two of the artist's former series: one, filmed on the Turkish coast in 2011, groups together video portraits of her subjects looking at the sea 'for the first time'. The other, which dates from 2010, is made up of portraits of blind people (also Turkish), accompanied by their handwritten accounts of their last visual memory (i.e. 'for the last time'). All these lives are captured by with the sensibility for which Sophie Calle is famous – sober, powerful, oblique and magnified by repetition – all together forming a mosaic infused with feeling. Too much feeling, perhaps?
Because there's a big difference between the Sophie Calle who reveals her innermost secrets, and the Sophie Calle who reveals those of other lives. Paradoxically, she is rather more discreet, and much more subtle, when she flaunts and dissects her own sexuality and sorrows than when she probes those of her models. At her finest, she masters the art of self-analysis and exhibitionism, juggling reality and artifice to the point of becoming her art. In 'Pour la dernière et pour la première fois', however, her perspective is narrow to the point of obtuseness. The collection is touching but simplistic, detailed but lacking finesse, and lacks the layers of meaning which normally give her expression its richness. In other words, we prefer the Sophie Calle who gives to the Sophie Calle who receives.
