L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Hong Kong
My good friend N is a huge fan of L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. He is a foodie and has been raving to me about his many dining experiences at L'Atelier (especially the one in Las Vegas). So, when N told me that he chanced upon L'Atelier at The Landmark in Hong Kong and would like to invite me for dinner, I said YES before he could finish his sentence. I was stoked. First of all, I've never been to any restaurants by Joel Robuchon. Secondly, I wanted to find out what N has been telling me about—the open kitchen, the well-orchestrated kitchen crew, the impeccable culinary creations and most of all, the overall dining experience.
(Michelin Hong Kong gives 2 stars to L'Atelier recently.)
The tasting menu is priced at HK$1450 (about US$190) per person plus tax. I won't go into the details of describing each dish and the tastes because it was simply impossible to describe such sublime dishes with justice. Every single dish served that night was a perfect execution of culinary art, with tastes so refined and sophisticated and ultimately satisfying. After each serving, I thought I'd had the best but the following dish exceeded the previous one and blew it right out of the water. That pretty much summed up my dining experience that night…(read more about my favorite dishes after the jump)
My favorite dish was "chestnut soup in a celery broth with smoked bacon and foie gras." I am not a big fan of foie gras–most likely because I've never had a real good one until L'Atelier–but now I understand why foie gras is one of the most sought-after fine foods. It was so tender and tasted so light that I utterly enjoyed every essence of it. The sea scallops in conchiglioni with caviar was also a winner. I savored every single dish with great appreciation.
The highlight of the night was when the restaurant manager brought out a plate full of white truffles. The aroma and exotic smell of the white truffles perfumed our seating area that N couldn't pass up but ordered us some for our mashed potatoes. Needless to say, we scraped the mashed potatoes to the very last bits…only wished that we had more.
All in all though, I can only say "WOW" to L'Atelier, or as N always puts it—PHENOMENAL.

The tasting menu looks so good. Hopefully one day I will save enough money to try out all the Michelin Stars restaurants.
Just by looking at the photos make my sliver drooling…nice photos as usual
Hi there! The next Penang's Bloggers' Meet will be hitting the town again. It will be on next Sunday, 14th December 2008, 12pm at Paradise Hotel. For more info about the event, do log in to http://www.RoundEgg.com now! =D
Hope to see you there!~
Next time I am in Hong Kong. I am there! Nice photography.
My brother and sister-in-law feel the same about JR in Vegas. I absolutely have to go. Glad you had such a wonderful experience.
As you are our international rep, you should be the right one to say this kind of dining experience is many Michelin stars !
For us villagers , the local kampung food is unbeatable as its all we have !
Malaysia bolih !
That was an expensive dinner, but everything looked good. I am sure it was worth the money to eat at 2-stars Michelin restaurant.
We had lunch a few months back at L'Atelier in Paris. It was sublime even down to simple mashed potatoes. I love hawker food but I also love Michelin star restaurants. The experience is just different.
Love L'atelier! Had the full Free-range quail with foiegras and mashed potatoes over at their London branch, as well as their Paris restaurant (all shared the same menu): the quail was lovely, and the mashed potato was the smoothest pot of gold I've ever treated myself to! I've been travelling all over Paris for little gastronomic treats, and my experience at L'atelier has been flawless to date. I've got to try Les Ambassadeurs soon, though. :)

10-06-2013, 08:35 AMEditing a commentYou mean you walk or drive around in you little tinfoil hat, while listening?.. Fine by me.. Your still soaking in the rhetoric.. What is weird is that you guys can listen to all the conflicting statements being put out and not see the inconsistencies..
"Where not doing this, the Democrats are".
"A government shutdown might be good for the country. Show people they don't need government".
"We're not going to be disrespected... we have to get something out of this. And I don't even know what that is."
""We are very excited…it is exactly what we wanted."
"We keep passing Amendment bills to open up sections of the government, Senate doesn't pass them."
"85% of the government is up and running."
Their statements cancel out the other statements that they are making.. Yet you guys believe every single one of them..
Originally posted by Peregrinator View PostThere are probably very few Democrats who are completely unwilling to compromise on ACA - are they, too, "extremist ideologues"?
Originally posted by Peregrinator View PostAgain, that the ACA is the law of the land, for now, does not at all imply that it can't be debated, defunded, revoked, etc. It wasn't that long ago (1974-1995) that a 55 mph speed limit was "the law of the land."
10-06-2013, 06:16 PMEditing a commentYes but it was enacted in order to see if it was beneficial or not. It was not stopped because someone whipped a group of people into a frenzy with scare-tactics.
OR.... it isn't producing what was promised and it isn't just a few who got whipped into a frenzy, but everyone getting a hit in the pocketbook, losing their benefits/hours, and even some losing their promised keep-your-doctor-of-choice and ending up with a high premium, no benefits, government sponsored/directed process. People are beginning to see the "benefits" of the program and they aren't really all that happy, but egos and politics don't allow for any "maybe this wasn't such a good idea" kinds of discussions to either correct or remove the problem.
Obama in 2006: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure."
At that time the National Debt was a mere $9 trillion. Have you heard any Dem say by how much they want to increase the debt ceiling? One trillion dollars to get them through the 2014 election cycle (I rounded up from $988 Billion...). Are we going to let Obama double the debt before he's out of office? ($9T in 2006, $14.4T in 2013, add $1T for 2014, $1T for 2015...)
This is like arguing with a teenager who refuses to believe that their bank account is overdrawn: "I can't be out of money! I have more checks!"
Liberal members of the media, congress, and this forum are all relying on emotion to make their argument. All emotion and personal vitriol, no ability to face facts.
"It's never been done before!" Wrong - 27 times since 1976.
"Federal workers are going without a paycheck!" Yes. I feel bad for them. But many of them really need to start looking at the private sector and adjusting their long range plans. Hopefully they're smart enough to realize that, mathematically, the Fed cannot keep spending money at the current pace. There are not enough rich people to punish to pay the bills.
To my fellow conservatives: I'm pretty sure that we're not going to change any minds in here. They're not thinking.Last edited by JoeBob; 10-06-2013, 11:47 AM.
10-07-2013, 06:59 AMEditing a commentHaven't you figured out that they will never stop blaming the previous administration (or, for that matter, anyone and everyone else) for the problems they create or perpetuate?
10-07-2013, 10:31 AMEditing a commentI agree with JoeBob that deficit spending in general is bad if you are a consumer. But nearly all businesses take on debt if they can borrow money to make more money. Same with the government: if you can increase per capita GDP by $1.25 by borrowing $1, that's a wise investment. Investing in healthcare and renewable energy will eventually increase the per capita GDP so those are a good investments.
A bad practice is borrowing money for a negative return like the Iraq war which did nothing to protect our security, or allies or our overseas investments (i.e., oil) and added $2.2 trillion to the debt.
By the way, I'm not saying that government should be run like a business per se because it is unique in that they own the printing presses. The US government can carry debt and not worry about paying their obligations as long as you have low inflation (currently less than 2%) and low 30-yr T-bill rates (3.7%).
I have no idea what school of economics one goes to in order to think deficit spending and the subsequent interest expense is a good thing. If the government hadn't borrowed in the first place, all that interest expense would be going to helping people and not the lenders. With $16 trillion in debt, I'm thinking the interest portion of the budget could be funding a lot of food stamps, insurance and other direct assistance to the citizens instead of lining the pockets of rich lenders.
People today are in debt to big business/investment/banking companies and don't have money for food, clothing and shelter. The interest they pay could be buying things like, say, food, clothing and shelter. I own two homes, four cars and don't owe a penny to anyone. ALL my paycheck is available to buy whatever I can afford. I learned a long time ago, the government doesn't lead by example. If I owed $16 trillion in debt, I'd be in jail. There might just be a lesson in all of that.
When congress "passes" the most sweeping social welfare program in a generation by parliamentary maneuver and with NO bipartisan support, it should be no surprise that the peoples' house would lead a revolt.

10-07-2013, 09:46 PMEditing a commentA clear majority of Americans support the ACA/Obamacare. The repeal of the ACA was one the main Republican planks of the 2012 election. Yet Obama was reelected by a wide margin, the Republicans lost 2 seats in the Senate and 13 seats in the House. Americans aren't digging what the Republicans are selling.
Now the Republicans stand a good chance of losing their majority in the House in the 2014 election because of their obstructionism and government shutdown. They are just slipping further into irrelevance.
Obama was re-elected because the low-information Democrat party base thought they were getting "free" healthcare at the expense of the "rich". Those who are reasonable alert (like the Union bosses) are now realizing they were sold a bill of goods and have demanded exemptions, which Barry gladly granted. But when the "people" via their elected representatives demand the same consideration, or at least a delay, we are shut down saying "it's the law of the land, get over it."
Vindictive Alert: Not only is Mt. Rushmore shut down, they are closing the shoulders along public highways with traffic cones to make sure no one can pull over and take pictures. One has to wonder how far such political hatred can go.

10-07-2013, 10:32 AMEditing a commentThis petulant behavior is not surprising from a regime that's closed access not only to open-air monuments that require no staff, but also to the Grand Canyon and the Atlantic Ocean... Maybe they'll buy a big tarp to put over Mt. Rushmore too?
To try to make this a bit more Scouting again (a few of you seem to forgetting the Oath and Law in your interactions)...
If we want to balance the books, then you have to either increase revenue or cut spending. If you want to play with spending, CATO has put some information on a site:
This could be a good exercise for Scouts in Cit Nation - what would you cut? Make them approach each cut from an Oath and Law perspective along with the Constitution.
A flip side is to ask them what things could the government do? For this debate, do they agree that there is a problem with people who have no access to affordable healthcare? How would they solve that? What is the obligation of the nation? Help educate the discussion. Show them the historical levels of deficit and debt (and PLEASE make sure that they know the difference).
Then you can talk about historical taxation levels, and you can teach them about the EFFECTIVE tax rate (which is vastly different from initial rate). Lots of information there:
If you want to get deeper, you can overlay these numbers with party control of the House, Senate and Presidency and try to find a pattern, anywhere.
10-10-2013, 10:10 PMEditing a commentRick - a Univ. of Penn. study showed that "that people with a gun were 4.5 times more likely to be shot in an assault than those not possessing a gun." 4.5 times more likely is 350%. I incorrectly stated 550% in my original post but I've corrected it. Univ. of Penn. study: http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/News_...ession-safety/
And that leads to the question of what is the % chances of an assailant being shot by an armed victim vs. un-armed victim? I'm not a statistician, but I'm going to take a wild guess here and say the odds of an assailant being shot by an armed victim is a lot higher than being shot by a victim with no gun.
10-11-2013, 11:23 AMEditing a commentMost crimes by far are property crimes (burglary, larceny, robbery and theft). Police advise people to obey the assailant and not resist to avoid getting hurt. People who get hurt or killed are those that resist. If being robbed, chances are the criminal is high on drugs, has impaired judgement, and heightened senses from adrenaline (e.g., an itchy trigger finger). So provoking them during a robbery will likely result in the victim being shot, stabbed or otherwise injured. If a robber sees or finds a gun on the victim, he will feel threatened and may do harm to the victim.
There are very few scenarios that an armed victim will have any tactical advantage during a robbery. In just about all situations, the robber or robbers will have the upperhand and a victim having a gun greatly increases the chances of the encounter ending badly for the victim.
Just read this:AFN Back On The Air!
The American Forces Network (AFN) is working to restore full television service to the overseas audience within the next 24 hours.
As a result of civilian workers being allowed to return to work at the AFN Broadcast Center in California, plans are underway to launch AFN|sports, AFN|family, AFN|xtra and AFN|movie today (Monday, October 07). The programs required for AFN|sports are mostly live and, as a result, are immediately available; the inventory for AFN|movie and AFN|family exists on servers at the AFN BC and is also easily obtainable now that the workforce has returned.The remaining channels, AFN|spectrum and the two AFN|prime channels (Pacific and Atlantic), will require a bit more time to restart since the programs have to be recorded from Stateside feeds and prepared for rebroadcast in the appropriate time slots. Service of these channels should be up and running by prime time Tuesday (Japan Korea Time and Central European Time).AFN|news has remained on the air since the furlough began on October 02.
So the cold war and the communists where never ever able to shut off AFN, even way behind the iron curtin. Only Congress was competent enough to do it ...

packsaddle commented10-10-2013, 10:19 AMEditing a commentPapadaddy, I had a full career as a civilian employee of the DOD as well. I remember several of these events so I sympathize. But I quit and took another position (I was on FERS, not CSRS, so I could 'take it with me'). I'm sorry that you're feeling the burden of this occasion.
I had to listen to a retired DOD guy carp about all the government folks missing work after having four-day work weeks due to sequestration. Makes me wonder how many of them missed paychecks over the past five years. I know many, many folks who would have been grateful to have work four days straight.
Unconditional Surrender by Tuesday. Except they can keep their Emperor.
King Ding Dong commented10-15-2013, 08:39 PMEditing a commentOpps. Unconditional Surrender by Wednesday !
Apparently there is a lot of bickering going on inside Congress between the radical "repeal-Obamacare" Republicans and the less radical "delay-Obamacare" Republicans. The "repeal-Obamacare" faction is accusing the "delay-Obamacare" faction of going along with the shutdown just to raise election campaign money from donors and are not true conservatives (i.e., RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only) because they want delay, not repeal.

10-15-2013, 03:04 AMEditing a commentI heard quite a few days ago that this was the case, but did not know if this was rumor or not, as the Democrats were not going to the airwaves with it.. Perhaps they needed to bring it to the floor and challenge it like this before they could start publically complaining about it?.. Expect it to get a lot of airtime during next years election cycle..
The Senate has a new bill worked out by Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell..
this is common sense, so Although it is initiated out of the Senate I think it will have the 60 votes to jump over Ted Cruz's Filibuster, and the Republicans of the house will truly own the fallout of the Nation defaulting on it's debt along with the shut down of the Government if they do not pass it.. The Republicans will have a chance to save face, but really have gained nothing except totally tanking in the polls from taking the country hostage.. If the house rejects it the Republicans will own the fallout of defaulting on our debt and doubly own the government shutdown, and will never crawl out of the hole they put themselves into.. Their party will be toast.
Repubs can no longer keep harping on "the President wont negotiate", even though the President said he will but only once they release the hostages.. Because, this bill lays out clearly that both sides will negotiate during the time of the extensions. After that we have two minor changes to the Health Care law, so the Repubs have got something small on Health Care, But since the Democrats got something to, it is not a victory from their hostage taking.. The Repubs get the Budget at the Sequester levels, but Dems get the extension only past the new year (Jan 15 for government spending, Feb 15 for debt limit) so that a) Obamacare is totally enacted when the extension runs out and b) Dems have a chance to get some of the Sequestered items back into the budget during the negotiations (They did not want 6 weeks as it was too short didn't get past the enactment of Obamacare and if negotiations broke down again would put this debacle around the holiday shopping season.. But, 6 months were too long with the budget at Sequester levels.)
If the house does not bring it up for a vote, the party of Repubs is a footnote in history, taking the teaparty with them.
Just hearing the proposal gives me a confidence that I haven't had until now, that there is a way out.. At least until January & February..
Now everyone can go back to JoeBob's silly little rant of although the Repubs shut down the government, how dare the Democrats not let the Repubs pick and choose what parts of government the Repubs want to pay for so that they can just hold hostage the parts of Government that the Democrats care about.
99.999999% of what comes out of Washington is crap anyway. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference who's at fault, ALL of Washington is at fault. Once people figure this out, either they will be replaced by competent people or everything will go down the drain. The US is not exempt from what befalls every "empire" this world has ever experienced. The handwriting is on the wall. Time to pay attention and read it carefully. Everyone is pointing out the problems, no one is fixing them.

One of my husband's ancestors was born in Mestre either 3rd or 9th of July 1803 (maybe birth and baptism). His name was Anton Vetter (Edler von Doggenfeld), his parents' names are Johann Vetter (Edler von Doggenfeld), born 1764 in Ofen/Hungary and Barbara (Francisca?)

In 1803 the father Johann Vetter was a member of the 2nd hussar regiment.
Any help about the registered data in Italy concerning military personal is appreciated.

Hi: 10° Lo:2°
By Ian Dipple Friday 01 February 2013 Updated: 05/02 17:00
WEST Mercia Police will begin recruiting officers again from April after it announced planned cuts to numbers had happened quicker than expected.
Police and Crime Commissioner Bill Longmore revealed earlier this month 140 police officers would go over the next three years with reductions achieved through people retiring or moving on to other jobs and not being replaced.
But the process has happened faster than anticipated, meaning from April 1 the force will end a ban on recruitment put in place about two years ago. It does not mean the force will increase officer numbers again but will take on staff to replace those who do leave to ensure numbers do not drop below a certain level.
Mr Longmore also announced he would only be cutting 51 CSOs, instead of the original 100, and would be keeping the police's share of the council tax bill on hold, after more than two thirds of people said they wanted to see a freeze.
As part of a major restructure, mainly focused around sharing support services with neighbouring Warwickshire Police, about £21million will be cut from West Mercia's budget by 2015/16, with the loss of 250 police posts.
Mr Longmore said the force had made better than expected savings in previous years and had enough money in reserve to keep council tax down and alter some of the original plans put forward.
"I am also in discussions to further enhance our neighbourhood watch schemes and to further develop the Special Constabulary, providing opportunities for the creation of local teams where Special Constables can serve the local communities in which they live."
The plan will also involve the closure of police stations or the sharing of buildings with other public services. The Standard revealed two weeks ago how one option being considered in Redditch could see the relocation of the current Grove Street station and a possible link-up with the fire service.
Mr Longmore said proposals would be put to the public to consult on in the near future.
A £2million Community Safety Fund has also been created to support organisations and people involved in preventing crime and supporting victims. Local policing teams are being restructured to form new Safer Neighbourhood Teams and changes made to the way they operate so they have the most impact.
"I do not expect any reduction in the service people receive when they call for assistance or in the level of support or protection from harm people rightly expect," Mr Longmore added.
The proposals will be put to the Police and Crime Panel for consideration on Tuesday (February 5), before the plan is finalised in March.

Zentia Review
By, Erhan Altay
Zentia is ChangYou's third free MMORPG release in North America. Like Dragon Oath and Blade Wars, Zentia has a fantasy theme, but beyond that it is very different from its predecessors. The game has an animated graphic style and uses bright colors. More importantly, it has a wide range of playable characters, and an original game world.
The 22 Chosen
The Zentia client clocks in at 1.3 GB which means player will have plenty of time to create their ChangYou account before playing. Those who have signed up for one of their previous titles can skip this step and head right into the game. There are two factions or 'camps' in Zentia, Ba Gua and Tai Chi. Both have access to the same set of 20 characters and eight classes. The characters serve mainly a cosmetic purpose since Zentia has no appearance customization during character creation. The characters come in many shapes and sizes with some of the odder ones being a monkey and a baby. The rest have a distinctly Asian look, expect for one random Dutch looking guy with orange hair. All characters can play as any of the eight available classes. The classes have flavorful names like 'Vajra Guardian' (tank), Blade Warden (rogue), Divine Enchanter (healer), and so on.
A Chinese Fairytale
After character creation, players are treated to a charming cinematic video where a group of good guys riding on a giant tick chase down a bunch of thieves. The thieves are then supported by a giant, but another hero riding a giant frog hops by to even the odds. The video doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it does set the tone for the game. Zentia is light hearted and, according to the developers, was influenced by fairy-tales. The prevalence of spirit and demon themed monsters, along with NPC and architecture designs reveal the game is based in ancient China. The NPCs even spew a few lines of Chinese when spoken to which adds to the feeling of being in a different world. There's no formal tutorial, instead players start on a tiny island near several NPCs who offer simple quests that involve killing small woodland creatures. Before long, players will be riding a stork the beginner village of Muberry. In Zentia, experience is mainly gained through questing. Actually killing monsters rewards very little exp.
Feel for the Land
Upon landing in Mulberry Village, players will notice several yellow question marks on their mini map. Both the minimap and the rest of the interface of Zentia should be familiar to MMORPG veterans. The game is easy to understand and offers multiple control schemes. Players more conformable with the traditional Asian point-and-click movement method can use it, but the W,A,S,D controls are very fluid. In fact, I did not even realize point and click was supported until an on-screen prompt informed me! Players can chose whether they want full camera control or not. If activated, players can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, and pan the camera by holding the right mouse button. Early level quests ask players to seek other specific NPCs, gather items from nearby bushes or plants, or hunt nearby monsters. The number of enemies players are asked to hunt is usually low, ranging from 1-10 during the early levels. This helps keep things from getting repetitive, but does lead to plenty of running back-and-forth between town where they NPCs are clustered and the wilderness.
Natural Allies
Like Heroes of Three Kingdoms and most other Asian MMORPGs, Zentia supports an auto-walk feature that allows players to easily make their way between NPCs and quest objectives. Zentia adds a new twist to the system by breaking it into two parts. By simply clicking a quest objective in the quest log (opened by hitting 'L'), players activate a series of yellow arrows pointing the way. Players still have to manually walk along the revealed path, unless they have a pet active that can lead the way. Luckily Zentia introduces pets early on, at around level 3. Before long players will also be introduced to mounts with their first being a donkey. Indeed both pets and mounts play an important role in Zentia. Nearly half the monsters players encounter can be tamed and used as a pet. As pets level up, they provide their master stat boosts or other buffs. Mounts come in many shapes and sizes, including multi-player mounts that can be ridden by up to ten players. Like Tales of Fantasy and Battle of the Immortals, Zentia also supports mounted combat.
Chinese Ease
Zentia does a very good job with pacing. It doesn't take long to level up during the early stages, and there always seem to be more quests to do. Quests aren't given a dozen at a time either since that tends to overwhelm players. Newbies start with a giftbox which contains equipment, healing items, and other goodies. This giftbox can be opened at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13 before finally disappearing. Besides experience rewards, quests grant players new equipment and costumes. Costumes go over equipment and can be disabled or enabled at request. But there is one overall fault with Zentia and that is the lack of challenge. Most monsters are not aggressive, and enemies barely hit over a character's natural regeneration rate. This is common in Chinese MMORPGs since they prefer a more casual PvE style, but can be frustrating to Western players who expect to be challenged in both PvP and PvE. The difficulty can perhaps be artificially inflated in future updates, but Zentia was originally designed for the Chinese audience and isn't likely to be completely re-done just for our sake.
Late Stage Fun
Pixel Soft, the developers behind Zentia have done a great job with some of the small touches in the game. Attack animations are diverse and players can get in special 'lucky shots' that knock opponents down. Monsters and pets spout random, and often silly, lines of dialogue as they fight, and can even transform during battle. The generic monsters may not provide much challenge, but Zentia does have a full feature player vs player (PvP) system that can be explored after hitting level 20. There are also instances available to high level players who want to experience PvE content as a group. Several crafting professions are also included, but players won't be able to master them all which means they'll have to work together to create all the items they want. Zentia is probably the most original MMORPG in ChangYou's portfolio and is worth checking out, especially for those attracted to the art style.
Final Verdict: Good
Zentia offers many traditional MMORPG gameplay elements, but presents them in a unique package. The brightly colored animated world, quest based progression, and in-depth pet features help it stand out from the crowd. Instances, PvP, and other events are fun, but the overall lack of difficulty in Zentia means that the grind feeling eventually kicks in.

I'm guessing that Gstreamer with an ALSA could take advantage of this, but not with Pulseaudio in between.
Phoronix: ALSA's TinyCompress Audio Library Gets A Release
Today marks the first tagged release of TinyCompress, a user-space library that takes advantage of ALSA Compressed APIs that were recently introduced in the mainline Linux kernel. This library allows for feeding compressed data like MP3 files directly to ALSA compressed audio devices. This allows for offloading more of the audio playback process to supported audio hardware...
I'm guessing that Gstreamer with an ALSA could take advantage of this, but not with Pulseaudio in between.
I guess this would only be useful on mobile devices, right? Playing or making compressed audio on a desktop PC uses a negligeable amount of cpu power these days, unless one was doing some kind of production work.
Now think of the of the number of devices that might be in use under Linux that this change might affect and let's say it saves only 1W for each the total amount of energy saved will be quite substantial at least IMHOProcessing compressed data on such DSPs results in a dramatic reduction of power consumption compared to host-based processing
It doesn't seem important at all on the PC. And I'd be surprised if decoding an MP3 stream even takes 1W on desktop CPUs.
Last edited by RealNC; 02-25-2013 at 06:20 AM.
And the power figures might be much worse if all the CPU is doing is decoding sound. If the cpu can be kept asleep while deconding I would expect a very tangible power save.
As of PulseAudio 1.0, we support passthrough output of compressed formats. This allows us to directly support passing compressed audio to hardware that supports it. Currently, the only hardware for which we support this is A/V receivers plugged in over S/PDIF or HDMI, but this can include hardware decoders on SoCs and streaming MP3/AAC/... to Bluetooth headsets that support it in the future.
- Desktops might have more than enough processing power for mixing and decompressing.
- Desktops might such a high power usage that dedicated hardware might not impact that much.
- Unless you use some type of optimized real-time kernel, due to audio-data processing and multitasking, you're always going to have some audio latency on a desktop.
So support for hardware functions, can be useful for use cases where latency matters like :
- Gaming (really matters a lot)
- Communication (lower latency helps a lot, specially if decompression is hardware)
- multimedia playback (can help a little bit playing synchronised video/audio with less latency).
Of course it won't help for the most usual use-case and what sound daemon are mostly used for:
- Playing system sounds.
(99% of a desktop's uptime, the sound deamon either sit idle, or just plays the various system beeps)
Creative's cards DO HAVE hardware decompression support at least since the Audigy series of cards for AC3 and DTS streams.
C-Media sound chipset even support hardware *compression* (as in: play regular 5.1 audio like a game, the card compresses it on the fly into a DTS stream to by carrier over a single digital connector to your living room's sound system).
And technically, any card with a digital out could transmit compressed sounds as long as the decoder at the other side of the digital link supports the compression format. (as mentionned by pankkake)
Until now, with ALSA, this required putting some special settings into sound mixer (in order to activate direct digital pass-through, set the correct IEC headers in the digital packets), and then sending the compressed data is if it were raw PCM data.
And all these compression scheme have been CBR (constant bit rate any way) (easy to maskerade as raw PCM data).
The present library adds an actual standard API to do that (instead of fumbling with mixer settings) and introduces support for VBR (Variable Bit Rate) as used on lot of small portable files (MP3, AAC, OGG, etc)
On the other hand, as far as I known pulse audio doesn't support hardware mixing.
(So no easy way to send a compressed stream and systems sounds, or several system sounds, and have them processed by the hardware.
Currently, it's either passing a single compressed stream to the output. Or sending a uncompressed stream of PCM which was processed on the main CPU).
But I haven't read pulseaudio's source code, so maybe I am wrong.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
A healthy Buck may not be enough for Blue to win
There's been precious little that you could always count on when it came to Buck Pierce, but there used to at least be this: If Pierce could stay upright and actually finish a game, the odds were overwhelmingly in favour of the Bombers winning that game.
Coming into this season, the Bombers were an eye-popping 12-2 in games in which the Bombers QB started and finished since joining the franchise in 2010. And so for all the criticism heaped upon him — most of it centering on his inability to stay healthy — the one thing you could never take away from Pierce was the undeniable fact that he gave the Bombers their best chance to win.
Until now. What has become clear from the debacle that has been Winnipeg's first month of the 2013 season and their 1-3 record: The question is no longer whether Pierce is durable enough to be the Bombers starting quarterback, but whether he's good enough.
The numbers speak for themselves. In three games heading into Friday night's contest against the Toronto Argonauts at Investors Group Field, the Bombers had won just once behind a healthy Pierce. And even that lone win — a 19-11 victory in Montreal — had more to do with a defensive performance that was one for the ages than with anything Pierce had done.
And then things just went from bad to worse Friday night. By the time the Bombers brain trust had replaced Pierce with back-up Justin Goltz early in the third quarter, the Bombers were trailing 28-6 and any lingering notion the Bombers needed only to keep Pierce healthy to win this season had been fully extinguished.
Although Pierce came out for the second half against the Argos and was warming up on the sideline prior to the start of the third quarter, head coach Tim Burke said the team decided an abdominal injury Pierce suffered when he got hit in the second quarter would not allow him to continue to play in the second half and the decision was made to give the ball to Goltz.
Whatever. The bottom line is whether Pierce was healthy or not, the time had come to give someone — anyone — a chance to move an offence that had been designed from the ground up with Pierce in mind and yet which the man himself has proven unable to run effectively this season.
And so with that, the entire equation of this season changes. Coming into 2013, of course, the biggest single question mark surrounding the Bombers was whether they could keep Pierce healthy. With no experienced backup behind him, the thinking was that the Bombers' entire season was riding on their ability to keep Pierce upright, lest they be forced to turn to an untested backup.
What no one anticipated was that just a month into the season, the fan base would be booing Pierce and the offence off the field — as they did in the second quarter Friday night — and clamoring for Goltz to be given the keys.
Pierce's numbers in the first half were mildly respectable at first glance — 10-of-14 for 139 yards — but it was the boneheaded interception he threw into double coverage in the second quarter that cost his team most dearly. The Argos cashed it in for a TD one play later and the rout was on.
Goltz had success in relief — he was 13-15 for 170 yards — but it's difficult to make much of an assessment one way or the other given the mess of a game he inherited from Pierce.
Maybe Goltz is the solution, maybe he isn't. But one thing's for sure — keeping Buck Pierce healthy is the least of this team's problems at this point.

Why run OpenCL on the CPU?
Isn't OpenCL meant to be run on the GPU?
Phoronix: Improving OpenCL On CPUs, Building Linux
Back in April there was an LLVM European Conference in London where several interesting technical discussions happened. Among the topics covered were auto-vectorization with LLVM, building Linux with LLVM, and using LLVM to improve the performance of OpenCL on CPUs...
Why run OpenCL on the CPU?
Isn't OpenCL meant to be run on the GPU?
That way developers can be sure that OpenCL will run everywhere - otherwise they may not want to go to the trouble of using it at all, if they have to provide their own alternative fallback.
Open Computing Language (OpenCL) API is designed and expressly written to be run on ANY and all Co-processor(s) available to the system at the same time , as in a Heterogeneous computing systems that use a variety of different types of computational units including GPU CPU and FPGA's,
"April 10, 2012, 8:00 a.m. EDTAltera's OpenCL for FPGAs Program Delivers Dramatic Reductions in Development Times for Early Customers"
but AMD or at least Bridgman doesn't consider FPGA's as a valid option for placing them on their generic GPU and/or motherboard PCB's (i cant link the thread here as Michael has screwed up the phoronix database and you cant go back that far anymore apparently).
i do wonder though if that Negative stance has now changed with AMD joining ARM (and their Midgard Mali T-604 full OpenCL abilities etc) as founders of and the formation of the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation along side Imagination, MediaTek and Texas Instruments.
plus with AMD officially to integrate ARM core into their APUs, and AMD also creating their new embedded IC business unit appointed Arun Iyengar, former head of Altera Corp.'s Military, Industrial, Computing business division, to run the new Embedded Solutions Group all carefully managed to be setup and to get worldwide PR coverage at the same time, it all points (plus other positive cash flow options not stated here) to FPGA's Vendors being encouraged and have their products integrated in to the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation products and spec.
OC when i say FPGA i dont mean the full developer $1,999.00 a seat for a single board but rather the cheap as chips FPGA OpenCL end product and installed binaries to perform that selection of OpenCL/Video Encode/Decode etc tasks far faster if you don't want to go the full yard and make available binaries for real http://opencores.org/newsletter,2011,11,#n5

i Really want to see where if anywhere current and near future FPGA products might finally become popular and come into the generic Co-Processor usage everywhere, OpenCL/Encode/Decode for 2k/4k being top of my wish list progress OC.
i just admit that you are right about FPGA its a great technique similar to Vector-SIMD units.
IF a CPU like Loongson include a complete FPGA AND a Vector-SIMD unit AND a MIBS64bit cpu and this CPU becomes popular then you will see software what beats the socks of of these "Intel" Jokes
your really best hope for FPGA in general use is a CPU like Loongson ad this as a Co-processor.
EDIT: try to buy a hd6950 on ebay right now just to make sure bridgman get the support he deserve to replace my old hd4770 the one who becomes useless after all work only go in hd5000+ openCL and Shader compiler and stuff.

The thing is, the owners who want to win will find a loophole and the players will get paid anyway. It certainly happened last CBA
I have no doubt part of that will happen. Isn't that something we've all applauded LL for years? The fact he can find loopholes in the CBA to work in the Devils' advantage? I don't however think if the players fold right now to the NHL demands they will get paid so to speak........15yrs from now.....and that's the problem the "Crosby's" are fighting for.

new $5 pledge tier: Katamari Damarcy creator Keita Takahasi's new game
Posted November 21, 2012
Did raise this with Kickstarter and received the following response:
AstralWanderer: Hmm...I've got severe reservations giving CC details direct to Kickstarter also (rather than via Amazon who do have a track record of sorts and are big enough not to be subject to the "Verified by Visa" liability-shift). I can't see any reason (aside from avoiding processing fees) not to provide an Amazon payments option for UK projects so I'll likely be avoiding UK projects for now.
nijuu: WHy did they make the change? Makes me think twice about pledging UK based projects
"Thanks for writing in and I'm sorry about the inconvenience of not being able to use Amazon Payments for UK projects. As I'm sure you're aware, the Kickstarter website is constantly evolving. User feedback is what helps makes our site better and we greatly appreciate it. I'll pass it along!"
So I guess if enough people request this (via the "Contact" link at the bottom of each KS page) they'll add it in.
Posted November 21, 2012
To be fair, a similar argument could apply to GOG also, however my current approach is to limit online transactions to a few sites only, making it easier to check CC statements later on (as well as lessening the chance of fraud due to website compromise). KS' online security is an unknown quantity at this stage and given the amount I've been pledging lately, it's a big-ticket item on my statements.

Looked cool, but the limited and sold out $20 tier and no intention of making additional spots available killed my interest.

It's true that if it's optional it's less of an issue, but it still complicates their operation. I imagine that in the long run they'd prefer to switch the US site to their own system too.
AstralWanderer: Aside from avoiding Amazon's fees (some saving there, but they still have to pay credit-card processing fees - typically 3-4%) none of that really applies to offering Amazon Payments as an option.
I noticed that Unusual Heroes is still on the list, even though it was cancelled.

When Jim Weddle took over as Managing Partner of Edward Jones in January 2006, the brokerage firm was at a critical juncture. The firm's distinctive strategy had enabled it to grow from its roots in small-town America to become the 4th largest broker in the U.S. Weddle was concerned, however, that the firm's success, and the changing landscape of the financial services industry, were challenging the core aspects of the strategy that had brought the firm so far. He knew that the impending strategic decisions would determine whether Edward Jones could sustain its extraordinary performance and achieve its goal of growing to 20,000 financial advisors by 2017.

About Me Budget shopper
I had been looking for this item for quite sometime. When I located here and the price was fantastic, I purchased two of them. One to carry in my purse and the other to put in my sewing box. I'm happy with the purchase however, it did not come with any instructions how to use it. Going to request from W.D. to send me some instructions so I don't damage my clothes.
Works great - just as described!
By Lulu
from Boxford, MA
The day this arrived I had a sweater with a loop pulling through to the right side. I inserted the knit picker as described, made sure the latch/hook was closed and pulled it through. It worked perfectly and the right side of my fabric was smooth. I have used this on three other garments with equal success. I love this little tool!
Borrowed my friends "picker", buying one
By Gwen in L.A.
from Los Angeles, CA
This little tool is a must for pet owners, klutzes, and anyone who wears knit garments. Easy to use, makes clothes look good. Keep one in your desk and one in the laundry room for repairs.
Handy Tools to Fix Snags
By Jojo

I use this for the snags in my sweaters. Also used for snags in my bedspread. This is a second one to use on my bedspread.
Very Usefull Product
By Jim
from Philadelphia
This Knit Picker is a clothing money saver. Clothing threads that start to unravel can quite easily be arrested and pulled through material to stop the unraveling. Skip the tailor/seamstress time and cost.

Good Idea, but
By Mrs Mom
from Burbank Hills, CA
The photo wasn't very clear in regards to the size of the hook that is inserted to catch the pull. I need this for some very fine cloth, and this may damage it. May be better suited for heavier fabric.Also, a little overpriced.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Very handy!!

I have saved so many sweaters and tops since I got this and I am delighted.

Must have item!
By Anna E.

This does help get rid of snags and loose threads which as we all know can make our cloths looked "used" I am happy I bought this item and at the price may buy another to store away.

text: #CHARLESTON SDR PROJECT AMRAD is VERY excited about the potential for a low-cost SDR board developed in Charleston, SC by Dr. John Schwacke. For more information, visit John's web site. The SDR board itself uses an AFEDRI8201 IC, and plugs into a Digilent Nexys2 FPGA development board. John has graciously allowed AMRAD to reproduce the boards. The SDR board will cost approximately $80 to build, and the Nexys2 board is approx. $130. For just over $210, you can have a direct-sampling SDR receiver to experiment with. Here is a parts list for John's board: [[/projects/sdr/CharlestonPARTSLIST.xls]] In order to use the board, you need to reprogram the Digilent Nexys2, preferrably the onboard ROM. This is accomplished using the Digilent Adept suite (link coming). Until an issue is resolved, use the version 1.x of Adept, not Adept 2.0, as there may be an incompatibility. The Nexys2 is not doing any heavy-lifting in this project (so far). It is acting merely as a go-between between the AFEDRI8201 and the host computer. Inside the FPGA code are a couple of FIFOs, and some command/status register processing. This may change in the future. The Nexys2 board is available with two sizes of FPGAs (500k and 1.2M), requiring different bit files to be loaded. The following files are preliminary FPGA code for the two types of FPGAs. NOTE: After tracking down an issue with Linux GNU Radio spectrum displaying backwards, and HF SSB tuning backwards, I found that the I & Q samples were in the wrong order coming out of the FPGA. These two files correct that sequence. 1. Nexys2 1.2M board sdrif.bit file with correct IQ sequence: [[/projects/sdr/sdrif12MIQ.bit]] 2. Nexys2 500k board sdrif.bit file with correct IQ sequence: [[/projects/sdr/sdrif500kIQ.bit]] I'm not sure exactly what minimum FPGA code is necessary to create these bit files, especially since some of the Xilinx IP modules are included (DDS, FIFO, displays, etc). To get the source out there, I have zipped up the last thing that I "compiled", which is the sdrif500kIQ above. That zipped file is pretty big (5MB), but available here: [[/projects/sdr/originalhostif500k.zip]] You should be able to unzip this file into its own directory, then build it with the Xilinx ISE 10.1. Other versions may require tweaking. NOTE: Here are the FPGA bit files based on the original FPGA code. These versions have the I and Q samples ordered backwards ( Q then I). The newer versions above have the I & Q samples in the correct order. 1. Nexys2 1.2M board sdrif.bit file: [[/projects/sdr/sdrif.bit]] 2. Nexys2 500k board sdrif.bit file: [[/projects/sdr/sdrif500kjuly12.bit]] The 500k versions light LD7 permanently, and LD6, LD5, LD1, and LD0 will flash when data is being transferred between the FPGA board and the host computer. The 1.2M version does not light LD7, but is otherwise similar.

Gallery: Studio-E Architecture's Oregon Passive House Makes Use of Recy...
The Fern Ridge Lake Residence is located on a 40-acre site on a bluff outside of Eugene, Oregon. The home is joined by an artist studio, a three-car garage and a number of outdoor living spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Studio-E Architecture designed the home to be as energy efficient and healthy as possible. Certified as a passive house with the Passive House Institute US, the home features 12-inch thick walls and a tight thermal envelope to all but eliminate energy loss. A HRV ensures that minimal energy is lost while bringing in fresh air into the home. While low VOC materials are used throughout, fresh air is still very important to maintain a high quality indoor atmosphere.
Both photovoltaics and solar hot water provide sun-powered energy for the home and a geothermal system provides whatever else is needed for heating and cooling. As for materials, the exterior is clad with corrugated metal, fiber-cement boards and 80-year-old reclaimed barn wood. Inside, you'll find stair treads reclaimed from black oak tree that was knocked over in a storm years ago. Recycled steel is used for the structural beams and the kitchen countertops are recycled from lanes of a former bowling alley. The result is both modern and rustic and the home enjoys ample views of the surrounding landscape.
