Drastic CPU Problems with Live 9.1 on a Mac Pro 4.1 with Mavericks
I bought a Mac Pro 4.1 with 8 cores and 16gb RAM to improve my overall Performance. (had a mid 2011 i5 iMac before). But instead of working faster I recognize vast CPU and Latency problems: Instruments and Effects take much more CPU power now. I have over 20% CPU usage with just 8 Tracks whereas with my old iMac i was around 7%. When the CPU Load is over 25% I get nasty clicks or pops and I have to reduce the latency of my Fireface 800.
Working with for example Kontakt 5 is not possible. One instance of Kontakt 5 with on loaded Studio Drummer Kit takes the CPU to 23-25%!
It seems to be a problem of Ableton because my CPU Analysing tool shows me a maximum of 2-6% overall CPU Usage.
Thanks for your help!
Best Regards

single-page documentation generation (based on underscore.js documentation formatting) for multi-versioned apps
Single-page documentation generator for multi-versioned apps
Why another doc generator?
- Inline documentation sucks
- Mature apps/platforms need to maintain documentation for multiple versions, not just the bleeding edge release
- Underscore.js documentation formatting rocks! Forced brevity begets simplicity.
- Markdown is GitHub friendly, IDE friendly, and just plain awesome.
- Documentation should be collaborative like a wiki, but GitHub wikis suck at controlled collaboration, so by extracting the documentation out to its own repo and using Continuous Deployment, we can have the best of both worlds.
Here are some projects using Cassini to generate their documentation:
Using Cassini
Cassini is functional both as a CLI utility and a Node.js module:
$ npm install -g cassini[...]$ cassini -h Usage: cassini [options] Options: -h, --help output usage information -V, --version output the version number -i, --input <dir> Input directory. -o, --output <dir> Output directory. -v, --verbose Print verbose output -t, --templates [templatePath] Location of the template files. $ ls -al src/total 24drwxr-xr-x 3 adam staff 102 Aug 30 03:33 .drwxr-xr-x 11 adam staff 374 Aug 30 15:05 ..-rw-r--r-- 1 adam staff 9808 Aug 30 12:00 2.0.0.md $ cassini -i ./src -o ./bin -vtemplate path: /Users/adam/DEV/cassini/src/templates/default/input files: [ '2.0.0.md' ]filename: 2.0.0.md - version: 2.0.02.0.0 => 9808 bytes of Markdown2.0.0 => 11863 bytes of HTMLwriting bin/2.0.0/index.html
Node Module
Below is a script that I'm using to host cassini-generated documentation on Heroku. It uses cassini as a module to regenerate the HTML from the current markdown contents at startup; enabling continuous deployment of the documentation: Just commit/pull request/merge and push and let the deploy webhooks take care of the rest. (video coming soon?)
var express = require'express' pkg = require'./package.json' cassini = require'cassini' path = require'path' app = express ; var port = processenvPORT || 5000; appuseexpresscompress useexpressstatic'bin' get'/' resredirect301 pkgversion+'/'; listenport; console.log'listening on port %s' port; cassinigenerate inputDir: pathnormalize__dirname + '/src/' outputDir: pathnormalize__dirname + '/bin/' verbose: true;
I'm hosting documentation with exactly the above code, for free, on Heroku. Take a look at the package.json and Procfile that bring it all together. All that remains is a CI/CD service. (I'm using drone.io)
cassini.generate options
- inputDir: path to markdown files (not sure what it'll do with sub-directories...)
- outputDir: path in which cassini should place HTML
- verbose: print console messages
- templatePath: custom handlebars templates (copy the default templates and customize)
Customizing Templates
I've baked in a spin on the Underscore.js documentation design, but that doesn't mean you have to use it. You can customize the templates to look however you like (within some constraints).
Copy the default (handlebars) templates into a templates folder in your project and customize to your liking.

Her engagements have taken her to Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Japan. Known and praised for the performances of contemporary music, she was a guest artist with the Cleveland Chamber Symphony and Aki, festival of new music.

I've been to Costa Rica a dozen times in my life and have never been so at peace until I stayed at this lovely home. I will definitely repeat!
Great place to stay!
I go to Costa Rica often and have traveled all over the country. We took my nieces and nephews (home schooled) so they could experience different parts of Costa Rica. We had a great time!! We wanted to save money on accommodations and thought this would be a good choice (it was!). The house has incredible views, wonderful showers and perfect for a family. The owner's sister lives next door (great family). The kids had a great time. The house has three bedrooms, the downstairs does have steep steps, but we could easily navigate. We stayed in the masters bedroom downstairs and the kids were upstairs. While the road is not perfectly paved, we had no problem getting to the house or walking to the nearest restaurant. The family next door was great and their Mom made us the best bread. She even helped us get to the farmer's market. They were happy to answer any questions and while there English was not the best, we had no problems communicating. While this is not a Four Star Hotel, this is a great place to stay.
Peaceful and beautiful
This was our first trip to the cloud forest -- it was very peaceful and beautiful. Great back deck for yoga and watching the clouds and the house was well equipped with a wonderful kitchen and good facilities. Very nice accommodations reasonably priced to enjoy all the area attractions. The only difficulty was in the directions to the house -- perhaps they could be amended to note the distances between the turns as we got a little lost on our way up! Overall, lovely weekend! Will recommend and return!

Written by Stephen Quiller
Trade Paperback, 144 pages | Watson-Guptill | Art - Techniques - Color | $22.99 | 978-0-8230-0697-7 (0-8230-0697-2)
Internationally renowned artist and best selling author Stephen Quiller shows readers how to discover their own personal "color sense" in Color Choices, a book that offers readers a fresh perspective on perfecting their own color styles.

With the help of his own "Quiller Wheel," a special foldout wheel featuring 68 precisely placed colors, the author shows artists how they can develop their own unique color blends. First, Quiller demonstrates how to use the wheel to interpret color relationships and mix colors more clearly. Then he explains, step by step, how to develop five structured color schemes, apply underlays and overlays, and use color in striking, unusual ways. This book will bring out every artist's unique sense of color whether he or she works in oil, watercolor, acrylics, gouache, or casein.

Tania Mason looks back over the six years of Andrew Hind's leadership of the Charity Commission, and charts the actions that created a regulator fit for the 21st Century
In a recession, insurance claims rise. But that is just one reason for trustees to get more involved in their insurance. Here are a few tips on things to look out for…
Stephen Lloyd responds to a trustee rightly concerned about the consequences of not fully disclosing details of major risk facing the company in their annual report, as required under the Companies Act 2006.
Stephen Lloyd and Tracey Reynolds examine the types of risks trustees face and whether insurance can help with these risks.
Quite frankly if the leadership team can't announce bad news they shouldn't be in the job. Where on earth did this idea come from?
» Charity boards should communicate redundancies to staff, says NPC report
One of the risks that any charity faces is fraud. It is not a major risk – only a few charities, thankfully, are the victims of frauds. But fraud happens. It can involve employees, volunteers or property.
A lone voice on the board asks for advice on the rules and regulations regarding trustees becoming employees and employees becoming trustees. Stephen Lloyd responds.
Small payments to trustees (less than £1,000 to all trustees in total in any year) require no authority from the Charity Commission provided that certain conditions are met.
A legal horror story in which the distinction between trustees and members was fatally forgotten.

The 2004 Tablas Creek Vineyard Mourvèdre is Tablas Creek's second bottling of its 100% Mourvèdre. The wine shows the rich cherry, fig, mocha and spice flavors, medium to full body, and a spicy, appealing finish of saddle leather and loam of the Mourvèdre grape.
We use most of our Mourvèdre in our Esprit de Beaucastel each year. However, we feel that this is a grape that deserves a champion, and when we have some tremendous lots of Mourvèdre, we try to put together a limited quantity of wine for a single-varietal bottling.
Our Mourvèdre grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2004 vintage was excellent, with a very early spring balanced by a long, warm (but rarely hot) summer. The extended ripening cycle gave the grapes intense aromatics, pronounced minerality, and good structure. The harvest began in early September and continued warm and sunny, with cool nights, until an early onset of the fall rains on October 14th. At the first round of storms, about one-third of our Mourvèdre had been harvested the week of September 23rd. After this rain, two weeks of sunny, cool, and breezy temperatures allowed us to harvest most of the rest of the Mourvèdre between October 23rd and 25th. A final lot of Mourvèdre, harvested on November 18th (our latest harvest ever) completed the 2004 vintage. The different Mourvèdre lots gave us tremendous opportunities in the cellar for blending.
The Mourvèdre grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in a balance of small open-top and enclosed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed, and moved to 1200-gallon foudres to complete their fermentation. The Mourvèdre lots were blended in June of 2005 as part of the assembly of the 2004 reds, and aged for an additional year in a 1200-gallon foudre and an assortment of smaller neutral barrels. The wine was bottled in May 2006. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2004 Mourvèdre displays a classic nose of roasted meats, cherries, mocha, and spice. It is juicy and full in the mouth, with ripe tannins, lingering notes of coffee, chocolate and leather, good acidity, and a pronounced minerallity on the finish. We expect it to show lush, young fruit character, buttressed by plenty of structure, when young (before the end of 2007) and then to shut down for a few years. After it reopens, we expect it to drink well for a decade or more.

Hundreds of you have joined us for one of our annual blending seminars over the years. If you haven't yet, let this be the year. Partner Jason Haas and winemaker Neil Collins will lead a barrel tasting of the individual varietals (both reds and whites), and will discuss how we turn roughly one hundred components into the blends and varieties we make each year. Then, you will be set loose with graduated cylinders to produce your own blends. Details & More Events »

This photo is 'As Is' – straight from the camera.
After visiting good friends of mine, John and Francis Clifford who are local historians, living in the village of Eyam in the Derbyshire Peak District, my friend Ted and I started making our way to the church for morning service and as we passed by some old village cottages on the way to the main road, I looked back at this lovely scene and thought how much it looked like a Thomas Kinkade painting and set out to capture the character of the cottage and, in essence, the whole of the village life as this is indicative of the life in Eyam, simple, rural, and close. There is a history here that all members of the community share and celebrate. I hope that in looking at this image you can get a feeling of what life in this lovely village is like. What I love about this image is the lovely colour and textures of the plants and the dry stone walls. There seems to be a beautiful marriage of man and nature working together which is what rural life is all about I think. Please view this image larger and just look at it and please share in the comments what feelings and images you get from looking at it. Thanks.

– Bradley Shawn Rabon
Awesome image. one of my favorites !
Thank you my dear friend. I do like these rural homes and images as well. It feels calming and relaxing to be in the countryside and the small villages that dot our rural landscape of Derbyshire and the midlands.

1728. My Third Alpine Pass
Day 283
3 hrs, 5 kms
It is a chilly night--but not unbearable. I wake up in the morning feeing quite proud of myself: I've managed to camp out high up Alps--and lived to tell the tale. I continue across the last cow pastures, towards the cozy little ski town of Stuben, which consists mainly just of hotels, restaurants and ski shops. From here, I climb above the tree line once again, up a steep slope and around a bend to another barren looking valley. Without trees, it ...

... watering holes for skiiers going and coming from the slopes. I reach the last train station for a while. After this, the rail line and the freeway are going to burrow deep under the mountain. There's a little voice inside me that tells me that I could just hop on a train to Innsbruck, and spend the night in a warm hostel... But I quickly silence this ...

So when someone is doing something against the rules (like a pedestrian walking in a place that's meant for cars) people get really ...

Day 282
4 hrs, 10 kms
The scenery so far in Austria has been nice, but not spectacular (here I go, comparing it to Switzerland again!) But my next town more than makes up for it. Auberbraz is halfway up up grassy hillside, and above it is not one, but two magnificent waterfalls, tumbling over the rocky precipice.
Time to do a little side trip. It woudn't be right to just snap a picture and move on... I'm going to climb up to the base of one of those waterfall.

83-year-old grandmother dies after hospital fails to turn on oxygen tank
Published on Jul 15, 2014 6:17 AM
SINGAPORE - A grandmother died from a lack of oxygen to her brain after staff transferring her from one hospital to another did not turn on the oxygen tank after putting her on a ventilator.
Madam Ramasamy Krishnama became unresponsive in the three to four minutes that passed before the oxygen was turned on, a coroner's inquiry heard yesterday. No foul play is suspected.
The 83-year-old, who had been warded in June last year at Tan Tock Seng Hospital following a heart attack, was being transferred to Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital when the incident took place about a month later.
Madam Ramasamy, who had become dependent on mechanical ventilation, died a few hours after her condition deteriorated owing to "ventilatory failure" that cut off her oxygen supply.

Aphid/Spider mite- resistant /shade-loving plants
shadiahApril 15, 2008
I have a 4x3-ish balcony that faces NE. It gets filtered sun for about 3-4 hours or so. The big problem is that the tree that filters the balcony dumps loads of aphids and spider mites onto the balcony. I've had to bring any herbs inside to an east facing window to save them -- and only just barely after lots of spraying with water/soapy water.
We want to plant some nice hedges or trailing plants along the railing to provide more privacy to our second floor balcony, but given the aphid/spider mite problem -- not to mention the limited light -- I'm not sure what to plant. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks so much!
