Lord Campbell of Alloway: My Lords, I shall be brief. Far be it for me to move away from the amiable atmosphere at the end of this Session, but I am desperately worried that we should be discussing the White Paper tomorrow, it not having been discussed previously. What has happened is that we have had an amiable debate. It has not been a very constructive one. It has been rather tedious at times and there has been a good deal of shadow boxing because the substance has not been there. It will not be there even tomorrow. I have read the White Paper and I shall not go into it. I protest against this form of debate. I hope that the substance will be before us on any future occasion before we have to consider what is, yes, a simple Bill but a skeletal Bill with no substance.
I wish to make one other point, again briefly. It is perfectly plain that the Government wish a "Yes" answer to the first question. But surely they want an authentic and a true answer. What they have done is to devise a form on the first ballot which is bound to give--I do not say "intended to give" because that is an unkind and unnecessary allegation and I do not make it--a flawed answer. We know, and we knew before what was said by my noble friend Lord Campbell of Croy, about the Scottish Nationalists. We knew long before that they would vote "Yes" because, although they are separatists wanting independence, they would see it as a step towards their goal. There can be no way that the votes can truly be segregated to produce an authentic and fair result which the
Lord Ewing of Kirkford: My Lords, perhaps I may intervene in the debate between the Campbells. In this Third Reading debate I do not regret that we are not debating tomorrow's subject today. I am purely in favour of debating today's subject today. What we are debating today is the Third Reading of the referendums Bill on Scotland and Wales. Perhaps I may say with great respect to the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Croy, that he never seems to spoil a good argument by getting it accurate. There was a whole host of inaccuracies in the noble Lord's submission to your Lordships today.
I intervene in the debate to offer my warm and sincere congratulations because it is right and proper that we on this side of the House should do so. I offer them to my noble friends Lord Sewel and Lord Williams of Mostyn for the way in which they have conducted the debates throughout the consideration of the Bill.
My noble friend Lord Williams of Mostyn and I were introduced into your Lordships' House on the same day. I knew as we were taking part in the rehearsals that my noble friend was headed for the highest heights. Anyone who moves from chairman of the Bar Council to the high and elevated position of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Home Office must have made progress.
I knew that my noble friend Lord Sewel was headed for the highest heights, too. Anyone who can move from the Faculty of Medicine and Law at Aberdeen University to become Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Scottish Office is headed for the highest heights.
I have enjoyed the debates on the Bill and I believe that my two noble friends in particular deserve eternal credit. Furthermore, my noble friend Lady Farrington, who has acted as Whip on the Bill, deserves credit for the way she has conducted the proceedings.
I have always recognised the debating skills of the noble Lord, Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish. I have never doubted them. The one thing that I have doubted about the noble Lord is the quality of his amendments. As the Bill has passed through your Lordships' House, there has been no doubt in my mind that those amendments have reduced in quality. We heard about the Italian waiter in Glasgow; we heard all about the noble Lord's daughter in Italy; we heard about the sliding scale thresholds in the referendum; and we heard about the unfranked ballot papers. There was a stage during our debates when I came firmly to the conclusion that the noble Lord was quota hopping in red herrings!
Be that as it may, no one can say that your Lordships' House has not considered the Bill seriously. Therefore, it returns to the other place for consideration of the amendments that have been made. More importantly, it goes to the Scottish people, who in my view will record a resounding "Yes, yes" vote. In my view, the people of Wales too will record a resounding "Yes" vote.
On Thursday of last week I listened with interest to the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, saying that he hoped that at this time next year we were not bogged down in controversial legislation. As I look around your Lordships' House I can say with some confidence that most of us would express the hope that we are here at this time next year. Whether or not we are bogged down in controversial legislation, at least we shall be here!
I look forward to a resounding, "Yes, yes" vote in Scotland and to this time next year when we shall have Royal Assent for the primary legislation which will lead to the creation of a Scottish parliament. I make no secret of the fact that for more than 30 years that has been my ambition. I am not in favour of referendums, and in that the noble Lord, Lord Mackay, and I share the same view. I believe that it is alien to the British constitutional way of life. I am not in favour of referendums, but that is the chosen path, and therefore I shall support it.
Perhaps I may return to the comments made by the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Croy, about the Scottish National Party. I agree with Gordon Wilson, the Vice-President of the SNP, for reasons different from those which he quoted. He says that the SNP should have stayed out of the campaign because he believes that it will damage the SNP. I believe that the SNP should have stayed out of the campaign because it will damage the campaign. I believe that it will damage a "Yes, yes" vote. I say now that I shall not share a platform with any Scottish National Party member in the referendum campaign.
Therefore, I agree with Gordon Wilson that the SNP should have stayed neutral and should have stayed out of the campaign. I am not in favour of referendums in any shape or form. But in my view this Bill has been conducted brilliantly by my noble friends on the Front Bench and I am honoured today, from these Back-Benches, to place on record my tribute to my noble friends Lord Sewel and Lord Williams of Mostyn, and also to Lady Farrington, who acted as a Whip on the Bill.
Lord Mackie of Benshie: My Lords, like the noble Lord, Lord Ewing, I did not think that the Bill was necessary. I did not want it but because of a promise made by the Government, I have backed it all the way through. I cannot join in the love-in between the Front Benches. We have wasted the most enormous amount of time. I am extremely glad that it is over. Some good arguments have been put forward, even by the noble Lord, Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish. But the amount of time that we have spent on a simple enabling Bill has been quite ridiculous. It is a good Bill because I hope--in fact, I am sure--that it will lead to better things. But for me the best thing to come out of it is the fact that "referendum" is now an English word and we talk about "referendums" instead of "referenda".
Lord Simon of Glaisdale: My Lords, if anything could have shaken my adherence to devolution, it would have been this enabling Bill. If anything could have
I say that it is a demeaning Bill. In the first place, it is unnecessary. That was declared roundly on Second Reading by the noble Lord, Lord Steel, and was repeated on a number of occasions by other Liberal Democrats subsequently. Today, I believe for the first time, the noble Lord, Lord Hooson, with whom I generally agree, seemed to think that this is a useful Bill. On the other hand, he was followed by the noble Lord, Lord Mackie, who considers that it is not worth discussing at all. It is worse than useless. It is demeaning because time and again issues have been fudged. They have been fudged in order that the vote of the Scottish National Party shall be added to those who support the limitations of the White Paper and to secure an overwhelming vote. That overwhelming vote, which is hoped for in Scotland and which I think is likely, will then be used to bully the Welsh into following suit.
Of course, everybody knows that an earlier election can influence a later one. American primary elections are a very good example of that. But we had our own example in this country. At one time the general election was held over a period of days--I think it was a week or 10 days. But it was found that the earlier results unacceptably influenced the later ones. Therefore, we now have a general election with all votes cast on the same day without difficulty. This Bill has been improved by stipulating that the two elections shall be on the same day so that neither can influence the other.
The other major improvement is the insertion of the words "income tax". The Government wish to have tax-varying powers because the Scottish National Party want to erect customs offices along the Border which will then be a frontier. Therefore, members of that party will vote for tax-varying powers but they may not vote for income tax-varying powers because that is a limitation.
Therefore, in those two respects, the Bill has been improved although I am afraid that it is still full of fudge and political intrigue. The hand of the back-room boys is very strong on this Bill--those who have achieved influence by mounting the back stairs: the spin doctors.
It is pleasant to turn from that to those noble Lords to whom we owe so much. In the first place, that is the two ministers. My recollection of debating goes back to Winston Churchill, Michael Foot, Crossman and Iain Macleod. I hope I may say without seeming impertinent that although the technique of the noble Lord, Lord Sewel, is different from those others, he gave a consummate example of how what I regard as a weak case can be put forward attractively.
I should like to pay a particular tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Williams of Mostyn. Unfortunately, I was not present last week but I read his speeches with considerable emotion. What he seemed to do was to breathe into what is now known as "vacuant Blairism" a warmth, a conviction and a pride in the country which ennobled the whole of the theme with which we are now concerned.
From the Cross-Benches, I must say also how much we owe to the noble Lord, Lord Mackay, in his conduct of this Bill. I am sure that he was right about what he said about referendums or referenda, and for once, I disagreed with the noble Lord, Lord Hooson. I believe that they have a place in a democratic parliamentary constitution. But it needs to be thought out. That was the first thing that should have been done as we approach the various constitutional matters. Instead of wasting our time on what the Liberal Democrats almost unanimously said is an unnecessary Bill. We should have thought out in what circumstances a referendum, particularly an immediate post-election referendum, can be justified; how far pre-legislative referendums are justified; and how far it is an advantage, as the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Croy, said, to have a post-legislative referendum. After all, when one comes to think of it, that is by far the most democratic expedient.
There is one other noble Lord whom I must mention: the Chief Whip. Chief Whips are universally unpopular. From the Cross-Benches, I must say that we have been done proudly by the noble Lord, Lord Carter. He has given us time to debate this measure which is the concomitant of your Lordships allowing a government to get through their business. I was very glad that the noble Lord, Lord Mackay, reciprocated so that that business was dealt with on schedule.
The last thing that I should like to say is how much I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Beloff, that what we have missed is the English dimension, which is very important. I said that that was the last thing, but I should like to add something else. I believe that the supporters of the Bill have altogether underestimated their danger from the Scottish National Party. Any body of radicals is always liable to be outbidden by those who are more radical. One has only to think of the deputies from the Gironde at the French Revolution--all their radicalism and all their commanding gifts did not prevent their being bundled into the tumbrils and having their necks severed at the guillotine.
I am sure that the Government's supporters in the Scottish parliament--which I think we shall have--will find themselves in the very uncomfortable position of being constantly taunted for not standing up to Westminster, for not fully implementing their powers, and so on. I am very glad that the Conservatives are going to take their place in that parliament. That will make it very much easier for those who support the White Paper.
Lord Crickhowell: My Lords, I am rather relieved that my noble friend Lord Beloff has left the Chamber and is no longer seated immediately behind me. I say that because he may feel that, in thanking the Ministers for the way in which they have handled the business, I am somehow joining in a love-in. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the Ministers for the courteous and sometimes disarmingly charming way in which they responded to debates. However, they had every reason
However, having thanked the Ministers for their charm and courtesy, I should like to make a few further points. It seems to me that the noble Lord, Lord Williams of Mostyn, might have been better placed at Headingley over the past few days rather than in this House. He certainly plays with an extremely straight, defensive bat; indeed, he was so straight and defensive with his bat when responding to one particular amendment that I felt moved to press it, even though I never intended to do so when entering the Chamber. In all my time in Parliament, I do not think that I have ever received such a non-response to points made.
I should tell the noble Lord that, if another Bill comes to this House after the referendum, he will not be able to get away with that again. If that happens, we shall expect our debates to be responded to in detail. Quite clearly, if the people vote for an assembly, we would accept that verdict. However, that does not mean that we would have to accept everything that the Government chose to offer and that we would not be free to criticise the Bill, to examine it and, if necessary, to amend it. I should like to make it absolutely clear that, if we were to get another Bill, I shall be doing just that.
The noble Lord, Lord Elis-Thomas, said that I was in some form a Welsh nationalist. I should tell the noble Lord that, certainly in the non-political sense, I am proud to be a Welsh nationalist, just so long as I am able to be equally proud of being a British nationalist. If the intended legislation after a referendum were to go through, I fear that the Britain I love might be disrupted. I believe that we are on a course which is extremely dangerous.
One of the most fascinating aspects of our debates in recent weeks has been the revelation of the strength and character of the new Lib-Lab alliance. We no longer share the Benches on this side of the House with the other opposition party. Now that its leader sits in a Cabinet Committee, clearly it has sold its soul. It has displayed an extraordinarily strong support for the Government during recent weeks; indeed, a stronger support than we saw from almost any Member on its own Benches.
However, having said that, I should add that I was extremely grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Hooson, for acknowledging one point; namely, that the accusation made that quangos were unreasonably packed could not be made about my noble friend Lord Thomas of Gwydir or myself. In fact, in this House of all places, it would be rather hard to sustain the charge. I say that because we have here two examples of "quangdocracy". We have one or two representatives on the Benches opposite who represented the old Labour quangos before we came to power and who sat on those quangos without almost anyone else but Labour colleagues. In the days of Lord Haycock, that was the way that things were done.
We also have on the Benches opposite--and I am delighted to see him here today--my noble friend, as I persist in calling him, Lord Parry of Neyland, who was renewed in his chairmanship of a quango by me after I had taken office; just to prove that we have an open mind on such matters. However, that is something for debate on another occasion.
I have one further thought to put before the House. I should like to take up the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Sewel, who commented that we had debated the matter for longer than was the occasion in 1978. Well, of course, we have done so. On that occasion we were tacking a referendum on to a Bill which set out the detail of what was being put to the people. We were dealing then with a post-legislative referendum; what we are confronted with today is a pre-legislative referendum. I agree with everyone who has criticised the principles of pre-legislative referendums. In my view, they are entirely wrong in principle and should not be pursued again; indeed, I hope that they will not be.
So we come to the end of these proceedings and we shall debate the White Papers tomorrow. It seems to me to be wrong that the White Papers should have been introduced into this House so late in the Session. Both White Papers, which will be crucial to the understanding of the electorate when it comes to vote, were presented so late that they cannot be properly debated in Parliament. There has, of course, been a debate in another place: but it took place on a Friday, which meant that it had to end at 2.30 p.m., and thus 12 Welsh Members were unable to speak. Nonetheless, that debate produced some notable speeches. I hope that everyone in this House--and, indeed, the electorate of Wales--will read the two distinguished contributions by Mr. Alan Williams and Mr. Denzil Davies. They are two of the most powerful speeches that I have ever read on the subject and were delivered by two very experienced former Ministers. If anyone thinks that the Government have an easy ride ahead of them, he should read those speeches.
As I said, tomorrow we shall debate the White Papers in this House. When I last checked the speakers' list, I counted 35 names upon it. In my opinion, it is a disgrace that Parliament should be treated in this way and that, during the last week before we rise for the Summer Recess, we should be forced to have a debate on such an important constitutional matter--a debate which, by its very definition, will be inadequate. If I have praised the Ministers for their charm and courtesy, I must also point out to them that they have a pretty tough case to defend when it comes to the manner in which the Government have handled the whole affair.

You might say the little town of Milmay has a dual personality. First of all, it gets its name from two larger towns, Millville, eight miles to the west, and Mays Landing, eight miles to the east. Milmay's roughly 800 residents live in two different municipalities - Buena Vista and Maurice River townships - in two different counties - Atlantic and Cumberland.
But not everything in Milmay comes in twos. There's only one post office, one volunteer fire department and one drinking/eating establishment, the landmark Milmay Tavern.
Milmay is also home to Chris and Mary Jane Kinkade. Mary Jane grew up in Milmay. Her parents live right down the street from the 5-bedroom Cape Cod the Kinkades bought nine years ago.
Chris is a native of Connecticut, which was where the couple was living until Chris joined a computer software firm that enabled him to work from home. Milmay seemed like a logical choice to raise their three children, ages 4, 2 and 18 months.
"It's a sleepy little town, nice and quiet," Chris says. "We liked that it was close to my wife's family and the beach. It's only 45 minutes to Cape May, 40 minutes to Philadelphia and 30 minutes to Atlantic City."
The Kinkades' house stands in the Buena Vista Township side of Milmay on more than five mostly wooded acres. Built in 1994, it features almost 4,000 square feet of living space including a beautifully finished basement. It's part of a neighborhood of well-kept homes on similarly sized lots. A small stream that runs through the woods at the back of their property is the headwaters of the Tuckahoe River.
Chris and Mary Jane have made a number of improvements over the years. They installed granite counters, tile backsplashes and new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. They built a shed in the back yard, replaced the water heater and added a workshop to the oversized side-entry two-car garage.
The biggest projects, completed a couple of years ago, were finishing the basement and converting the first-floor powder room into a full bathroom.
The first floor features a large eat in kitchen, a huge formal dining room, and a two-story great room with skylights, a wet bar and a wood burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling brick chimney. There's also a first-floor master suite and a room that Chris uses as an office that could also be a bedroom.
The master bedroom has a bayed window and a private bathroom with two walk-in closets and a whirlpool tub.
The second floor, accessed from a staircase in the family room, has three bedrooms, two walk-in storage areas and an extra long full bathroom that extends nearly the width of the house.
The enormous basement has 600 square feet of unfinished storage area as well as 1,200 square feet of finished space with a game room, two TV rooms, lots of high hat lighting and a ceramic tile floors that look like wood planks.
The house is heated with oil but a natural gas line was recently connected to the house making gas service available. The only gas appliance currently in place is a heater in the basement.
With their kids now 9, 11 and 13, the Kinkades have no intention of downsizing, but they will be relocating. Chris's company is opening a satellite office in South Carolina and the family is planning a move to the Charleston area.
"It was a really big decision to leave Milmay," says Mary Jane, who works at Ellison School in Vineland, a private school where all three of her children are enrolled. "My family would rather we stay here. But now they'll have someplace really great to visit."
For more information on this property, which is listed for $429,000, call Angela (Julie) Tamburro of Prudential Fox Roach Realtors, 856-305-8583. email@example.com

If you have an extra 2 minutes today, you can see me picking the winner on video. I have to warn you of some things such as 1) Mommy babbles WAY too much, 2) the video shows my furs needing to be brushed (which I hate), and 3) did I mention that Mommy babbles WAY too much? But you get to see me in action! If you want you can fast forward to the sorta funny ending! Anyway, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show...

With two Macs on rotation — an iMac and a MacBook Air — plopped on top of 20 years on Apple's side of the operating system fence, I've come to use a lot of apps. More even than I can think of off the top of my head, in fact. But some stick out as essential daily drivers, without which I'd struggle to get anything done.
Here's a choice selection of the apps I use and rely upon nearly every day.
Words to Remember
I write for a living, so I take my text editing and word processing apps very seriously. But these days I don't care much about how they look; I just want to save time and limit the pain of organization. My focus is consequently on two old workhorses, with a third there for assistance.
I like MacJournal because it makes it so simple for me to jump between writing tasks, and to look through old stories. I have different journals for each place I write (or wrote), plus a few extras that help me stay organized. I keep a list of article ideas, like most freelancers, but my list is a series of journal entries that can be quickly and effortlessly executed. MacJournal has fallen behind the times in design and features, unfortunately, but I'm still not convinced that the likes of Day One can do the job I want.
Price: $39.95
Requires: OS X 10.6.8 or later
Developer: Dan Schimpf/Mariner Software
That's becoming less of an issue, however, as I gravitate further toward Scrivener, which is a brilliant app for large writing projects of all kinds — novels, screenplays, theses, reports, multi-thousand-word articles, poetry, and so on. I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but once I'd learned my way around I found it invaluable for coping with complex stories. I especially love the flexibility in viewing documents and integrating research.
Price: $45
Requires: OS X 10.4 or later
Developer: Literature and Latte
I seldom use TextWrangler for any writing, actually, but it's an essential intermediary between composing and publishing. I've set up a script that converts my rich-text-formatted writings into HTML, spitting them out into TextWrangler — where I tweak a few things as required before pushing the text through to the content management system. TextWrangler's also great for quick editing of scripts and preference files, too.
Price: Free
Requires: OS X 10.6.8 or later
Developer: Bare Bones Software
To Stay Plugged In
I seldom bother opening my RSS reader (NetNewsWire) on the Mac now that I have an iPad with The Early Edition 2 and Mr Reader installed, but I still very much live on the Internet at my iMac and MacBook Air. To that end, three apps dominate:
I favor Firefox to Chrome and Safari for two reasons. While all three major browsers run into issues when you have many tabs open (I'm on tab #378 as I write this, believe it or not), only Firefox has a built-in option to load a tab only after it's been selected — which negates nearly all problems you could run into from such a habit. My other reason is rather circular in that it's because I have all those tabs in my Firefox session — to migrate would be a nightmare.
You're probably wondering why anyone could possibly need 378 browser tabs. It relates to my browsing habits; I like to keep a tab open until I'm ready to not come back, so things to check out later, or to monitor, or that I need for a current project all take a portion. It's usually between 120 and 200, but I got a bit crazy recently.
Price: Free
Requires: OS X 10.6 or later
Developer: Mozilla
I was one of those tragics who stuck with Twitter for Mac long after its development was abandoned, but I finally gave up in November last year. My choice was not flavor of the month Tweetbot, but rather Osfoora, which in its current carnation looks and feels like the natural evolution of Twitter's forgotten Mac app. My only complaints at this point are that there's no option to combine multiple accounts into one Timeline view, and that you can't open a saved search or list in a separate window.
Price: $4.99
Requires: OS X 10.6 or later
Developer: Said Marouf
MailPop Pro
Gmail in the browser is a pain, but I happen to like its interface — especially the tablet version. So how do I combine the "true" Gmail experience with the convenience of a desktop app? With MailPop Pro, a cool little menubar app that impressed me on review. It offers all the features of Gmail in your browser, only more tightly-integrated with OS X. The highlights for me are keyboard shortcuts, floating windows, and switching between tablet, mobile, and web interfaces.
I'm still waiting for multiple account support, though. And tablet view started misbehaving recently following a change to Gmail's tablet and mobile interfaces.
Price: $0.99
Requires: OS X 10.6 or later
Developer: Binary Bakery
A Helping Hand
I use heaps of utilities and in-the-background productivity apps, so I've decided to just highlight a few less obvious or controversial choices. Keep in mind, however, that I also make serious use of Evernote, Dropbox, and SugarSync for cloud storage, along with Bartender to keep my menubar uncluttered, iStat Menus (which I reviewed) to monitor my Mac, and PopChar X for special characters. And that's without going into the irregularly-used tools.
ScreenFloat and Snapz Pro X
Much of my writing involves reviewing apps and games, which requires copious amounts of screenshot-taking. I recently put Snapz Pro X back in the hot seat as my general-purpose screenshot tool, for capturing windows, regions, or the entire screen, after realizing it's still a powerhouse — despite UI issues.
Price: $69
Requires: OS X 10.7.4 or later
Developer: Ambrosia Software
Meanwhile, I have ScreenFloat for quick last-minute snaps and for floating reference material. It's particularly useful for this second function, with screenshots floating above everything as you hop between apps or enter information into a full-screen app. My opinion of the app stands unchanged since my glowing review from July last year (I'm noticing a trend here that I didn't before).
Price: $5.99
Requires: OS X 10.6 or later
Developer: Eternal Storms
Acorn and Phatch
So what happens when I need to edit one or more of these screenshots? Or what if I need to do a custom graphic for an article header? For anything quick and small, I just stick to Preview, but if I need anything more sophisticated — like batch processing or messing with composites or advanced filters — I have two favorites.
Phatch is a cross-platform photo/image batch processor written in my favorite programming language, Python. What it lacks in style it more than makes up in power and grace, effortlessly resizing, cropping, and applying filters to my images. All I have to do is set up the rules and away it goes.
Price: Free
Requires: Python 2.5 or later and wxPython; here's a precompiled Universal Binary
Developer: Phatch Team
For the more finicky tasks, like compositing multiple images into one or cleaning up bad lighting, I turn to Acorn, a much cheaper alternative to industry standard Photoshop. It's not as powerful as Adobe's juggernaut, but I'd say it's enough for 90% of the tasks you'd do in Photoshop — at a fraction of the price.
Price: $49.99
Requires: OS X 10.6 or later
Developer: Flying Meat
Clipboard management apps are a dime a dozen — even to the point where most launcher apps have integrated the feature. But I stick to a little menubar tool called CuteClips, which I can summon with a quick Command-Shift-V shortcut, then pick the stuff I want to paste with arrows and Return, a mouse click, or a tap of a number key (if I've assigned it to a specific clip). On top of that, tapping the space bar enables concatenation of multiple clips, one after the other.
Price: $15
Requires: OS X 10.5 or later
Developer: BrikSoftware
TotalFinder and TotalSpaces
I didn't believe the hype surrounding TotalFinder and TotalSpaces until I picked them both up in a bundle late last year. But now I'm a total convert. TotalFinder adds tabs and a bunch of other cool features to your Finder windows, along with a pop-up floating window that can be called at any time. This has saved me hours in hopping between the Finder and other apps to grab specific files.
Price: $18
Requires: OS X 10.7 or later
Developer: BinaryAge
TotalSpaces returns the grid layout to Spaces, along with custom transitions, a separate overview grid, and more robust options. Like TotalFinder, it changed my workflow for the better — pushing me to finally split independent tasks into separate spaces, vastly reducing window clutter.
Price: $15
Requires: OS X 10.7 or later
Developer: BinaryAge
The Hit List
I tried using several different reminder, planning, and task management apps, but none stuck with me. I'd set them up, force myself to keep things updated, then give up entirely a week or two later. They did nothing to improve my workflow; I just got annoyed at the extra overheads.
Then I found The Hit List, a lightweight task/to-do list that avoids the complexity of OmniFocus and Wunderlist while retaining my three must-have features — start date, due date, and tags. I use it to help me keep track of freelance assignments and to give self-imposed deadlines for pitching ideas.

What About You?
Those are the apps essential to my daily routine. What do you use? And what should I consider switching to? Let us know in the comments below, be sure to check out Jacob's and Reid's lists, and stay tuned for the upcoming workflows from others on our team!

I used CuteClips for a few years before switching to CopyLess. CopyLess has a free version (which limits your copied items to 10, I believe) and a paid-for version that allows you to scale up to 100 stored items; the paid version is still cheaper than CuteClips. I feel that CopyLess is a bit more versatile (copied items can be reordered, it shows you what you've already pasted, you can have the list reorganize based on what was pasted most recently). More importantly, I like that CopyLess has a function to paste in plain text. I use the keyboard shortcut for plain text pasting regularly (command alt v), but it's difficult – perhaps impossible – to do that with copy boards. Having a switch that can be toggled on and off is terribly useful. Just don't forget to toggle it off. I don't know if CuteClips may have had similar functionality – perhaps I just missed it – but CopyLess made it very easy to see and access.
I give credit for AppStorm for introducing me to CopyLess, by the way – this site was how I discovered it.
Alfred also has clipboard memory features and since I already use it for app launching, calculating, and more, it's nice not having a stand-alone app for that single feature.
I'm surprised that Sublime Text 2 was not mentioned here. I work with text files a lot, usually typing HTML and Markdown for WordPress. I used to depend on TextWrangler but since I started using Sublime Text 2, it's become the only app I want to use for text files. Simple things like automatically closing tags and placing the cursors between the tag just makes the whole typing experience a lot smoother. Another very useful feature is the drop down list of suggested tags. The app can guess what I want to do next based on what I've typed so far. When I worked with CSS, my custom classes appear in the suggested list too.
Thank you for writing the bit about Firefox. I know I'm not alone in having tab "issues" now. Wahey!
I usually have about 150-200 open (on Chrome, and it's memory leak hell, but I'd have to actually read them all to migrate to another browser, so the vicious circle continues), and my husband has long suspected that it is clear proof that I'm unhinged. My only defense is that it's the modern-day equivalent of my granddad keeping hundreds of old newspapers in the attic because "he hadn't finished reading them yet". Right…?
But you, sir, have outdone me even in my sickest phase, with your 378. I salute you!
Any other members of tabs anonymous out there want to stand up and admit they have a problem? Um. Okay, I'm going to try to close at least 5 today and claw some RAM back.
Safari user here, and I have the exact same browsing habits as the two of you (the highest number of tabs/windows I recorded having open at once were 32 windows and 278 tabs). Dealing with the sluggishness of Safari was also an issue for me in the past with all those tabs open, but it isn't anymore; ever since I discovered the Sessions extension for Safari , it's far easier for me to say, "Okay, I've got too many tabs open, I think I'll quit Safari and start off fresh", since I know I can easily restore an old session later or individually open any of those tabs I've been meaning to get to at a later date.
Seems like the link I included was removed since I put it in less-than/greater-than signs; guess the comment system filters out HTML tags. In any case, the link was:
The extension can also be found in Apple's Safari Extensions Gallery in the Productivity category:
If you have more than five tabs open on your browser, you are a damn idiot. There is no excuse for that. When I read that, I knew that the rest of your advice would be crap, and it was. If I were your boss, I would have just pink slipped you for being so stupid as to open hundreds of browser tabs.
I tend to agree that more than a dozen, or so, tabs is far too many and I wouldn't heed the app advice of someone who has such a poor workflow. It's akin to have a billion icons on the desktop and calling that good workflow.
I reckon opening tabs in the foreground also suggests poor tab management and I should point out the Safari has the option to make this default (look under "Tabs") and that Chrome does it if you hold shift when opening a new tab. But it sounds as though you're substituting tabs for history/bookmarks and read later services.
However, I'm interested to read that you're not alone in this affliction!
I tend to believe that people who are so quick and willing to over generalize someone's entire workflow and recommendations to follow in such an article, based on one aspect thereof (said tab-addiction) would be considered similarly "idiotic" if judged by the same childish, judgmental and hollow arguments used to come to such a determination.
I tend not to believe that any one person's workflow is perfect, for that individual or others to whom it may be shared. It's typically a constant evolution of personal obstacles and finding the right-fit of applications, the modification of personal habits and introduction of new applications and concepts to achieve the next-level of workflow results. A cycle that continues endlessly. The endless nature of the process matches the continual changes often found in our work environment, changing corporate and company standards, responsibilities and tasks, job role(s), new applications or application developments used in our production workflow in addition to the nature of our personal interests and development as they change and expand. Each of these numerous changes not only has the potential to interact and impact other areas of our workflow possibly creating an opportunity for improvement that previously did not exist, such as a new job role and need to use a different application creates a deficit or need that was not present previously which cascades throughout the manner we accomplish what is necessary.
So while some may be hyper-critical of Richards use of tabs, whether this can be improved or not is beyond simply a decision of what is "smarter" or what other options are available to manage said tabs. This is currently what works for him and as such was shared openly, indicating that such activity is a bit "crazy" and was clear with recommendations for which this behavior impacted his opinions and recommendations. This for me points to a open, honest and humble reviewer – which are all attributes of someone from which I like to look at suggestions from, regardless of whether his use of tabs and choice of browser and/or browser behavior and workflow align with my own. So we may differ there (whether this is true or not doesn't matter)….
What matters is as stated, there are numerous elements typically found in one's workflow with application(s) discussed relative to each of these areas. Though you may, or definitively differ in how you work in one area as some have suggested; this does not preclude you from the potential to finding similarities with the struggles in other areas and recommendations, tips and applications that may offer some benefit(s) and help in achieving improvements in *this* area for you.
I don't believe anyone is to read any "like" articles of what others use and replicate their workflow to become more efficient and effective. I don't believe the author of any such article believes that to be the likely outcome. The general idea is to simply gain knowledge of different applications and options that may apply in one of the many areas of one's workflow, leading to a discovery that will help take you one step closer to achieving a more tightly-integrated workflow that minimizes the overhead of both costs, time and inconsistencies in use while providing smarter, cheaper, more efficient alternative implementations to accomplish tasks more quickly with potentially more options and versatility in doing so.
Give the guy a break. So you don't agree with him in one area. If everything after was going to be garbage, but you continued to prove yourself right by reading and spending time commenting needlessly on such an article to call him an "idiot" then I believe that there may reflect an opportunity in your own time-management and/or workflow indicative of behavior that is not too far from what some may also consider "idiotic" (this could be extended as a comment on the reflection of your personal character, though it's best to keep things relevant in the interest of time.)
I am both an idiot and someone who has incredible amounts of opportunity in my own time management – true or not – this admission will allow you to reply (if you should so choose) with something of substance more than a mindless misdirected attack on my desire to respond to such unnecessarily harsh comments of both the author and his editor.
On the other hand, I appreciated the article – so thank you Richard for the time spent in providing us the insights you have and doing so in an easy-to-read manner that was both open and honest. If we all had the applications that did everything we desired and the personal habits that mirrored one another I believe the available applications and marketplace would be far more desolate and boring. What if any tips will be used is yet to be seen, but I thought the article was well-written and to the point and the ultimate goal, achieved – which for me was the exposure to new ways of doing things and applications I may find beneficial with their implementation of my workflow.

How Long Before Israelis' Anger Boils Over Again?
Once they finished venting and lambasting Finance Minister Yair Lapid over the austerity measures, middle class Israelis poured into the streets for peaceful rallies. In a month, Facebook and cardboard signs may no longer be enough.
This time it was a pleasant demonstration. I met friends, and demonstrators smiled at one another, just like at a class reunion. There was no anger there:...

Here's was more impressive than the jacket, though, and I hope other e-tailers, large and small, will take note: 1) Dennis provided his recommendation on sizing based on his knowledge of the product. He suggested a size XL, which I would have NEVER gone for. I wear a medium tall in my Tourmaster, and would have ordered a large left to my own device. Thankfully, Dennis was there to make the recommendation. The XL fits great! 2) Dennis was very communicative throughout the process. He told me when he expected to ship my order and provided a tracking number as soon as possible. This is the level of service I'm used to with larger e-tailers, and to receive such attention to detail from Dennis was a huge bonus. 3) My order was processed and shipped promptly. I've waited up to a week for "in-stock" items to ship from other places, and to get quick service from Beach Moto made me feel good. All in all, I am very pleased with Dennis and Beach Moto. I was a little nervous, especially after my dealings with another popular gear manufacturer here on ADVrider and the horrible customer experience I had dealing with a smalltime vendor. Big thanks to Dennis -- not only for providing expert product guidance and order fulfillment, but a great overall customer experience as well. This is how a Web-based business should be handled.

Though it was clear that the economy was poised to expand at the lowest rate in a decade this fiscal, the data showed the slowdown has been worse than expected.
Even as Central Statistics Office data confirmed that a persistent stagnation in consumption and investment has stultified aggregate demand, the finance ministry remained optimistic and pinned hopes on leading indicators having turned up since November. It said the year might end on a better note and promised to be watchful and take steps to revive growth. Analysts reckon that the latest GDP estimate might increase pressure on the government to unveil a growth-oriented Budget.
RBI governor D Subbarao said Thursdays data would be taken into account while framing monetary policy for its next review in March.
Subbarao added that the central bank was looking forward to the upcoming Budget to get a better sense of the governments fiscal consolidation plans. The RBI had lowered its key policy rate for the first time in nine months on January 29 to 7.75%.
Prime Ministers Economic Advisory Council chairman C Rangarajan told FE that the projected growth seems to be an underestimate. The way in which growth is estimated depends upon the behaviour of the economy in the recent period. Since investment sentiment has certainly changed in the last few months, the growth rate in the last quarter may be higher (pushing up annual growth), he said.
However, Reuters quoted a statistics ministry official as saying on Thursday that economic growth likely eased further to around 4.8% in the third quarter mainly as a result of deep cuts in government spending, The numbers are due on February 28, the day the Budget will be presented.
While recent reform measures like partial decontrol of diesel prices and the steps being taken to rev up investments in infrastructure have inspired Indian and domestic investors and reduced the threat of a sovereign rating downgrade, the debate over the economys structural bottlenecks have intensified after the latest GDP estimate. While the RBI had earlier said Indias growth potential has come down to around 7%, a senior International Monetary Fund official on Thursday said it would take India some tough decisions and several years before it can think of going back to a growth era of 8% and more, which was an easy walk through till a few years ago. The IMF had on Wednesday said Indias growth rate would drop to 5.4% this year.
The RBI in its outlook released on January 28 projected the GDP growth in 2012-13 to be 5.5%, while finance minister P Chidambaram had projected 5.7%.
Chidambaram, who has set for himself a target to reduce the Centres fiscal deficit to 5.3% for the current fiscal, had ordered spending cuts in welfare, defence and road projects. No wonder, according to the latest GDP estimate, growth in government expenditure is on track to moderate to about 4% in 2012-13 from 8.6% a year ago, while private consumption expansion has been forecast to halve to 4% in 2012-13 over the previous fiscal. Growth of gross fixed capital formation a proxy for investment in the economy is projected to fall to 2.48% in 2012-13 from 4.4% in 2011-12.
The CSO data showed that the economic slump could be deeper than anticipated, with across-the-board slowdown in sectors including agriculture, industry and services. Bond yields fell sharply on Thursday, in expectations of deep rate cuts from the RBI at its monetary policy review scheduled next month. The Stock markets largely ignored the GDP data, with the benchmark BSE Sensex ending down 0.30% at 19,580.32 points on Thursday. The government on Thursday successfully raised about Rs 11,400 crore through its disinvestment in NTPC the largest stake sale in 2012-13. Analysts expect the government to contain the fiscal deficit at 5.3% by March-end, even as lower government spending could curb growth.
Growth in agriculture and allied activities has been pegged at 1.8% in 2012-13, compared with 3.6% 2011-12. Manufacturing growth is estimated at 1.9% in 2012-13, down from 2.7% in 2011-12. The finance, insurance, real estate & business services sectors are likely to grow by 8.6% in 2012-13, against 11.7% in 2011-12. Expansion in the construction sector is pegged at 5.9% in 2012-13, against 5.6% in 2011-12.
Kotak Mahindra Bank chief economist Indranil Pan said the lower GDP number was a largely a statistical quirk, as the previous years growth numbers have changed. I dont see too many changes in the the growth trajectory. The bond market is reacting too positively, Pan said, adding that it could be the beginning of the economic turnaround story. Expansion in financial & insurance sectors indicate a slowdown, while construction numbers have also been weak, he said.
DK Joshi, chief economist, Crisil, had earlier said that he expected the RBI to cut rates by 75 basis points between now and March 2014.
The economic growth for 2011-12 was recently revised downwards to a nine-year low of 6.2% from the earlier estimate of 6.5%. The CSO also revised the growth rates for 2010-11 and 2009-10 to 9.3% and 8.2%, respectively, from 8.4% each earlier. There had been a sharp decline in the savings rate to an eight-year low of 30.8% of GDP in 2011-12 from 34% in the previous year and the fall in the investment rate to a three-year low of 35% from 36.8% in the previous year.

Here comes India
0 comments post a comment
India, in a very short time, will become a power in the electronics marketplace.
I hate to say "I told you so," but I saw this one coming from a mile away. I've been preaching to almost anyone that will listen that India, in a very short time, will become a power in the electronics marketplace, both on the development and end-user sides of the equation.
The happenings in India follow a very similar path to what happened in China, and I expect similar results.
As a testament to that growth, here are some new statistics, recently released by the CDMA Development Group (CDG). The CDG is a trade association whose goal is to foster the worldwide development, implementation, and use of CDMA2000 technologies.
In the month of July, 1.59 million new subscribers were added, bringing the total number of CDMA wireless subscribers to 35.2 million. Hence, CDMA2000 accounts for 30% of the total wireless subscriber base in the country.
The CDG claims that much of the subscriber growth can be attributed to the CDMA operators' aggressive introduction of low-cost handsets. The group also maintains that CDMA2000 offers several advantages over competitive protocols, including open standards, interoperability, economies of scale, affordable handsets, removable user identity modules (SIM cards), and seamless global roaming.
If you haven't already made a significant investment in India, you'd better act fast, or you're going to miss the boat.

Farmers' market open in Keosauqua
KEOSAUQUA — Healthy Villages and Dollar Plus have coordinated efforts to start a new Villages Farmers Market in Keosauqua.
According to Melissa Daugherty, community wellness coordinator for Healthy Villages-Van Buren County Hospital, eating a well-balanced diet, including fruits and vegetables, is a very important part of living a healthy life.
"We want to make it easy for our residents to purchase those fresh local foods," said Daugherty, which is why Healthy Villages is working with Joe and Stacey Reese of Dollar Plus on the new Villages Farmers Market.
According to the organizers, the benefits of the farmers' market are not just to the customer.
Daugherty explained the market will allow vendors to feature what's at the peak of season, along with local favorites, and share secrets on how to prepare their fresh offerings.
"Show off rhubarb or gooseberry pies," she said. "Print recipes for the products you are selling. If they know they can freeze shredded zucchini, they might buy more of it."
While the primary focus of the farmers' market is the fruits and vegetables, it also is open to artists. "We would love to see arts, crafts, woodworking and flowers," said Daugherty. "Our goal is to have a weekly showcase of locally grown, baked and hand-made products."
The market will be held 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday through Oct. 12 at the Dollar Plus.
Setup fees are being waived for a limited time; vendors should sign up soon.
To sign up or for more information, call 641-919-2089 or go to www.keosauquadollarplus.com to print off an application.

SEGGER SystemView
Real-time analysis and visualization
SEGGER SystemView is a real-time recording and visualization tool that exposes the true runtime behavior of an application, going far deeper than the insight provided by debuggers. This is particularly effective when developing and working with complex systems comprising multiple threads and interrupts: SystemView can ensure a system performs as designed, can track down inefficiencies, and show unintended interactions and resource conflicts.
- Minimal intrusive.
- Free tool. No license costs, no hidden fees.
- RTOS task, resource, and API tracing.
- Interrupt tracing for bare metal systems without an RTOS.
- Continuous real-time recording and live analysis with J-Link and SEGGER RTT technology.
- Live analysis of captured data — view responses to stimuli in real time without stopping the target!
- embOS, embOS/IP, and FreeRTOS API call tracing as standard.
- Can be adapted to other RTOS using a fully documented API.
- Works on any CPU.

Analysing a system with SystemView
SystemView can record data from the target system while it is running. The recorded data is analyzed and the system behavior is visualized in different views.
All system information is sent by the application and is part of the recording. The information is shown in the window on the top right and includes the application name, the underlying OS, the target device and the timing information. Additional information about task switches and interrupt frequency provide a quick overview of the system.
With the Timeline and the Events window the whole system execution can be visually analyzed.
The Events window lists all SystemView events which were recorded from the system and displays information about the exact timestamp when the event was generated, in which task or interrupt context it happened, which event it is, and the details of the event. The type of events to be displayed can be filtered to show only events of interest.
The Timeline displays the interrupt and task activity, as well as scheduler activity and idle over the system time. Scrolling through the events and zooming in on the timeline provide an exact view on how the contexts are connected:
- How often do interrupts occur.
- Which interrupt starts which task.
- When are tasks or interrupts interrupted.
- When does the scheduler trigger a task switch.
- How long does it take for a task to run when it becomes ready.
- How long does an interrupt run.
The Contexts window provides run-time information about tasks and interrupts. For each item the frequency, run time information and CPU load is shown. This information can be used for profiling, to see whether the system runs evenly or not, and to get an overview where the CPU time is spent.
The CPU Load window displays the used CPU time by context over a time period. This enables analysis of how much CPU time is used when the system is active or idle and can provide an indicator for where the system might be inefficient, i.e. when interrupts happen too often or simple computations take too long.
What is SEGGER SystemView?
SystemView consists of two parts: The visualization application SystemViewer, which is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and some target-side code, collecting information on the target system.
Actually, there is a third part: J-Link and the RTT technology that enables this wonderful system with all of its capabilities. Although J-Link can be eliminated, it's best experienced with a J-Link.
The SystemViewer host application enables analysis and profiling of the behavior of an embedded system. It records the monitor data which is generated in the embedded system and visualizes the information in different windows. The recording can be saved to a file for analysis at a later time or for documentation of the system.
The monitor data is recorded via the debug interface, meaning that no additional hardware (especially no extra pins) is required to use SystemView. It can be used on any system that offers debug access.
With a SEGGER J-Link and its Real Time Transfer (RTT) technology SystemViewer can continuously record data, and analyze and visualize it in real time.
SystemView makes it possible to analyze which interrupts, tasks and software timers have executed, how often, when exactly and how much time they have used. It sheds light on what exactly happened in which order, which interrupt has triggered which task switch, which interrupt and task has called which API function of the underlying RTOS.
Cycle-accurate profiling can be performed and even user functionality can be timed.
SystemView should be used to verify that the embedded system behaves as expected and can be used to find problems and inefficiencies, such as superfluous and spurious interrupts, and unexpected task changes. It can be used with any (RT)OS which is instrumented to call SystemView event functions, but also in systems without an instrumented RTOS or without any RTOS at all, to analyze interrupt execution and to time user functionality like time-critical subroutines.
How does it work?
On the target side a small software module, containing SystemView and RTT, needs to be included.
The SystemView module collects and formats the monitor data and passes it to RTT. The RTT module stores the data in the target buffer, which enables continuous recording with a J-Link on supported systems, as well as single-shot recording on any system.
The target system calls SystemView functions in certain situations, such as interrupt start and interrupt end, to monitor events. SystemView stores these events together with a configurable, high-accuracy timestamp, in the RTT target buffer. Timestamps can be as accurate as 1 CPU cycle, which equates to 5 ns on a 200 MHz CPU.
What resources are required on the target side?
The combined ROM size of RTT and the SYSVIEW modules is less than 2 KByte. For typical systems, about 600 bytes of RAM are sufficient for continuous recording with J-Link. For system-triggered recording the buffer size is determined by the time to be recorded and the amount of events. No other hardware is required. The CPU needs less than 1 us for typical events (based on a 200 MHz Cortex-M4 CPU), which results in less than 1% overhead in a system with 10,000 events per second. Since the debug interface (JTAG, SWD, FINE, …) is used to transfer the data, no additional pins are required.
On which CPUs can SystemView be used?
SystemView can be used on any CPU. Continuous real-time recording can be done on any system supported by J-Link RTT technology. RTT requires the ability to reading memory via the debug interface during program execution. This especially includes ARM Cortex-M0, M0+, M1, M3, M4 and M7 processors as well as all Renesas RX devices. On systems which are not supported by the RTT technology the buffer content can be read manually when the system is halted, which enables single-shot recording until the buffer is filled and post-mortem analysis to capture the latest recorded data. Single-shot and post-mortem recording can be triggered by the system to be able to control when a recording starts and stops.
How much work is it to add it to a target system?
Not very much. A small number of files need to be added to the make file or project. If the operating system supports SystemSiew, then only one function needs to be called. In a system without RTOS or non-instrumented RTOS, 2 lines of code need to be added to every interrupt function which should be monitored.
That's all and should not take more than a few minutes.
Modes of operation
Continuous recording
With a J-Link debug probe and the SEGGER Real Time Transfer technology (RTT), SystemViewer can continuously record target execution in real time, while the target is running. This enables analysis of the system behaviour over a longer period of time without requiring a large target memory buffer.
Single-Shot recording
When the target device does not support RTT or when no J-Link is used, SystemView can still record data into its buffer until it is filled. Single-shot recording offers insight to the startup sequence or event-triggered activity in any system for a decent amount of time.
Post-Mortem Mode
Post-mortem analysis is similar to single-shot recording, with one difference: SystemView events are continuously recorded. When the target buffer is filled older events are overwritten and reading the buffer provides the latest recorded events. Post-mortem analysis can provide information of long-time system tests and helps analysing system crashes.
Supported (RT)OSes
To use SystemView the SystemView target module has to be included in the target application and the OS needs to be instrumented. Currently embOS and FreeRTOS can be used with SystemView out-of-the-box. SystemView can also be used with a non-instrumented OS or without any OS at all.
For a detailed description of the target implementation, please refer to the SystemView User Manual UM08027.
Configuring embOS for SystemView
SEGGER embOS (V4.12a and later) can generate trace events for SystemView and other recording implementations when profiling is enabled. Profiling is enabled in the OS_LIBMODE_SP, OS_LIBMODE_DP and OS_LIBMODE_DT embOS library configurations (For detailed information refer to the embOS User Manual UM01001).
In addition to the SystemView and RTT core module, SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Config_embOS.c needs to be included in the application. This file allows configuration to fit the target system, like defines for the application name, the target device and the target core frequency. It initializes the SystemView module and configures embOS to send trace events to SystemView.
At the start of the application, at main, after the target is initialized, SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Conf() has to be called to enable SystemView.
Now, when the application is running, SystemViewer can connect to the target and start recording events. All task, interrupt, and OS Scheduler activity, as well as embOS API calls are recorded when SystemViewer is connected or SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Start() has been called.
For a detailed description on how to configure embOS for SystemView, please refer to the SystemView User Manual.
Configuring FreeRTOS for SystemView
FreeRTOS can also generate trace events for SystemView and offers basic but useful analysis without modification.
For more detailed analysis, like Scheduler activity and interrupts, the FreeRTOS source and the used port have to be slightly modified.
For a detailed description on how to configure FreeRTOS for SystemView, please refer to the SystemView User Manual.
Using SystemView without an OS
SystemView can be used without any instrumented OS at all, to record interrupt activity and user events.
Integrating SystemView in such an application is as simple as adding three lines of code.
For a detailed description on how to configure the application and how to record interrupts, please refer to the SystemView User Manual.
FAQs & Troubleshooting
|Can I use SystemViewer while I am debugging my application?
|Yes. SystemViewer can run in parallel to a debugger and do continuous recording. To make sure data can be read fast enough, configure the debugger connection to a high interface speed (>= 4 MHz).
|Can I do continuous recording without a J-Link?
|No. Continuous recording requires the J-Link Real Time Transfer (RTT) technology to automatically read the data from the target. One-time recording can be done with any debug probe.
|Can I use SystemViewer with my J-Link LITE or J-Link OB?
|Yes. SystemViewer can in general be used with any J-Link.
J-Link LITE and J-Link OB are limited in the debug interface speed, which can lead to overflow events when the RTT buffer cannot be read fast enough and the system creates too many events.
To get a full-featured J-Link, have a look at the purchase options.
|Can I use SystemViewer with my old J-Link?
|Yes. SystemViewer can in general be used with any J-Link if the J-Link supports the target core.
Older J-Links (V8 and older) might have limited RTT capability, which can lead to overflow events when the RTT buffer cannot be read fast enough and the system creates too many events.
To trade-in or upgrade your J-Link, have a look at our purchase options.
|Can I do continuous recording on Cortex-A, Cortex-R or ARM7, ARM9?
|No. RTT requires memory access on the target while the target is running. If you have one of these devices, only one-time recording can be done.
|I don't use embOS or FreeRTOS, can I still use SystemView for my application?
|Yes. SystemView can be used with any (RT)OS.
For Task and OS execution recording your OS might have options to hook up trace/profiling instrumentation modules where you can add SystemView, otherwise the OS has to be instrumented to be able to do so. In case of doubt get in contact with your OS vendor.
If instrumenting the OS is not possible you can still use SystemView to record interrupt activity and user events.
|I don't use any OS at all. Should I still use SystemView?
|Yes. Even without any OS SystemView can be used to record interrupt activity to verify interrupts occur as expected and to record user events which can be used to measure module execution times.
|I get overflow events when continuously recording. How can I prevent this?
|Overflow events occur when the SystemVIew RTT buffer is full.
This can happen for following reasons:
To prevent this:
|My application crashes when I connect SystemViewer. What might be wrong?
|Make sure ~200 Bytes of stack are available for SystemView in every context (Task, Interrupt, Scheduler) which can create SystemView events.
|I cannot start recording in SystemViewer. What might be wrong?
|Possible reasons are:
|SystemViewer cannot find the RTT Control Block, how can I configure it?
|Auto-detection of the RTT Control Block can only be done in a known RAM address range after it is initialized. Make sure the application startup has ran when starting to record. If the RTT Control Block is outside the known range for the selected device, either select 'Address' and enter the exact address of the RTT Control Block or select 'Address Range' and enter an address range in which the RTT Control Block will be.
|Do I have to select a Target Device to start recording?
|Yes. J-Link needs to now which target device is connected. The drop-down lists the most recently used devices. To select another device simply enter its name. A list of supported devices can be found here.
|My question is not listed above. Where can I get more information?
|For more information and help please ask your question in the SEGGER Forum.

Matter of Kelly v KrupaAnnotate this Case
In the Matter of Albert Kelly, Appellant, v Ginger Krupa, Respondent.
—[*1] Abbie Goldbas, Utica, for appellant.
Diane L. Galbraith, Cortland, for respondent.
Mitch Kessler, Law Guardian, Cohoes.
Peters, J.P. Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court (Sherman, J.), entered June 3, 2008 in Tompkins County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 6, to modify a prior order of custody.
Petitioner (hereinafter the father) and respondent (hereinafter the mother) are the parents of two children (born 2000 and 2001). In August 2007, Supreme Court permitted the mother to relocate with the children to Florida and granted her sole custody, with the father to have specified visitation. The father subsequently alleged interference with his visitation rights and Supreme Court modified the August 2007 order to apportion the costs of visitation between the parties. In April 2008, the father commenced a new modification proceeding, again alleging that he was being deprived of his visitation rights. After reviewing the parties' positions on the issue, Supreme Court held that New York was an inconvenient forum in which to conduct the proceeding, although it stayed dismissal of the petition in order to allow the father to commence a similar proceeding in Florida. The father appeals.
We affirm. There is no dispute that Supreme Court had continuing jurisdiction over this custody matter (see Domestic Relations Law § 76-a). A court is entitled, however, to "decline to exercise its jurisdiction if it determines that another forum is more convenient after consideration of relevant factors" (Matter of Eisner v Eisner, 44 AD3d 1111, 1113 [2007], lv denied 9 NY3d [*2]816 [2007]; see Domestic Relations Law § 76-f). Supreme Court weighed the applicable factors, several of which point to Florida being a more convenient forum. In particular, the mother alleged that the father inappropriately attempted to arrange visitation through their eight-year-old daughter and that he had made unfounded child abuse allegations to authorities in Florida. It is clear that Florida is in a better position to investigate those claims and that they could be more adequately explored in a Florida custody proceeding (see Domestic Relations Law § 76-f [2] [a], [f]). Moreover, it appears that the Law Guardian's equivalent in Florida could far more effectively communicate with the children given their young ages (see Domestic Relations Law § 76-f [2] [b], [f]).
As the record provides a sound basis for the finding that Florida is a more convenient forum, Supreme Court's determination will not be disturbed (see Matter of Eisner v Eisner, 44 AD3d at 1113-1114; Matter of Jun Cao v Ping Zhao, 2 AD3d 1203, 1204 [2003], lv denied 1 NY3d 509 [2004]). Nor do we find that Supreme Court abused its discretion by not retaining jurisdiction and allowing witnesses in Florida to appear by electronic means (see Domestic Relations Law § 75-j; cf. DeJac v DeJac, 17 AD3d 1066, 1067-1068 [2005]).
Rose, Lahtinen, Stein and McCarthy, JJ., concur. Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs.

The first people to inhabit what is not known as the state of Nevada arrived around 12,000 years ago. These inhabitants were fisherman and hunters. Four main Indian groups have also been linked to inhabiting Nevada. Genealogy records in this state may yield very surprising results, which may either please or disappoint the people that are researching.
Before history that was collected was properly organized, it was done by private citizens. Before proceeding with your journey of finding Nevada genealogy records, you may want to search the local history of the town and counties that you believe you ancestors may have lived in. It is also important to keep in mind that before many states were actually settled and accepted, their names and areas may have drastically changed. This can make finding Nevada genealogy records of all of your relatives and ancestors challenging, but exciting as well. On that note, you may want to refer to maps, especially older ones, that shows the boundary lines of the state, and how much it has changed.
Although it would be nice if all of the information you desired was just handed to you, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. If you are digging into your family history, and you find that there are records that are missing, then you have to take a new approach when attempting to locate them. When states were first being established, there were many factors that both natural and unnatural that affected the area. These factors destroyed records, which makes it tougher for present day researchers to gain access to all of the information that they need. If you find that there is missing records within your family history, then try searching church records, (for baptism, marriages and deaths) and patriotic society lineage books.
When performing the task of figuring out the past, you can never have too much help, there is no such thing. By asking your relatives for help, you can make you job a lot easier. They may not be as fervent as you are about finding genealogical records, but there is a chance that they are. Most likely they will help you whether or not they want to. That is just what families do. But, if for some reason, they don't want to, then keep digging within your family. There are always people who will help you; you just have to pick them out of the crowd. If you write a distant relative a letter asking for their help in discovering your past, make sure to properly introduce yourself at the beginning of your letter, get straight to the point and tell them what you want, ask questions organized in a logical manner, state on point, and keep the letter as interesting as possible. It is up to you to choose to best method to getting the documents and records that you require. No one is going to do your job for you, so just stay focused, and keep your eyes and ears open.
Nevada genealogy records such as birth, death and marriage records are handled by the Nevada Department of Vital Records and Statistics. State code chapter 440 addresses the specific regulations pertaining to the department. Birth and death records are available from 1911 to the present. Both birth and death records are considered confidential information in the state of Nevada, and only certain people are granted access to these records, even for genealogical purposes. Eligible people include "direct family members by blood or marriage", legal guardians or legal representatives of the person named on the record.
While birth and death records are kept by this state office, marriage and divorce records are kept be each individual county in which the marriage license or divorce decree was filed. When looking for Nevada marriage information for genealogical records, Nevada procedure requires that one know the name of the county in which the person was married, and then must contact the county office directly.

Today is the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, and we picked out some literary links to remember the great pop star.
Check out these posts about the books written by Jackson during his lifetime, Jackson's favorite bookstore, the The Little Prince's role at his memorial service, and finally, Maya Angelou's poem about Michael Jackson (read by Queen Latifah in the video embedded above).
eBookNewser pointed us to a new digital book about the pop icon. FastPencil is publishing an eBook version of What Really Happened to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop: The Evil Side of the Entertainment Industry by Leonard Rowe.
Here's more about the eBook: "Rowe is a concert promoter and long time friend of the Jacksons. He was working with Jackson on "This Is It," the tour that Jackson was preparing for before he died. The book chronicles Jackson's rise to fame, his challenges with tabloids, the corruption within the music industry and postulates a conspiracy that Jackson was murdered."

We have recently discussed the contribution of FE Smith to the bankruptcy jurisdiction. We can now focus on another giant of the bench,"the best-known and best loved judge in our history" (per Lord Bingham), namely, the Right Honourable the Lord Denning of Whitchurch OM, PC, DL, DCL, LLD (23 January 1899 – 5 March 1999 ). A graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, Denning was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn on 4 November 1921. He was made a King's Counsel in 1938. He became a Family Division judge in 1944, "then the youngest judge on the High Court bench" (per Lord Goff) and a Lord Justice of Appeal in 1948. He went up to the judicial House of Lords as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary in 1957. He went back to the Court of Appeal in 1962 as Master of the Rolls. The Lord Neuberger has recently undertaken a similar route to the Lord Denning. Denning retired in 1982 following a twenty year stint as Master of the Rolls.
So what of the Lord Denning's contribution to the bankruptcy jurisdiction? As a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, Master of the Rolls, Lord Justice of Appeal (but not as a pusine judge - in each case he will be referred to by the title he held at the time, not his final title), Denning sat on a number of important and interesting insolvency related cases. We will examine a number of them here. The first case of note, and perhaps his most important contribution, is Bendall v McWhirter [1952] 2 Q.B. 466. The case concerned the vexed question of the deserted wife's equity. The husband had been adjudicated bankrupt. There was a claim to possession of the matrimonial home by trustee in bankruptcy in whom the freehold of the house vested. The trustee brought an action to recover possession and mesne profits against the wife as a trespasser from the date of the adjudication in bankruptcy. The question before the court was whether the trustee takes the property subject to wife's right. The court had to consider the effects of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 59), ss. 18 (1), 22 (4), 38 (b), 105 (1).
At first instance the county court judge held that as the wife was a licensee whose licence was determined when the property vested in the trustee, he took it unfettered by matrimonial obligations. The County Court judge then made an order for possession with mesne profits in favour of the trustee. This decision was appealed by the wife up to Denning and his brother Court of Appeal judges. It was held by that court that a deserted wife in occupation of the matrimonial home has a personal licence, revocable by her husband only by obtaining an order of the court under section 17 of the Married Women's Property Act, 1882. Furthermore it was stated that where the matrimonial home is a freehold house which vests in the husband's trustee in bankruptcy under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, the trustee takes the house subject to the wife's licence, and cannot obtain possession of it without an order of the court which could be made on an application for possession under section 105 (1) of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914.
As Somervell and Romer L.JJ point out in their judgments the trustee takes no better title than the bankrupt had. He is no more entitled than was the debtor before his bankruptcy to revoke the wife's licence on his own authority or to sue her for possession of the property. In his judgment Denning L.J specifically highlighted the view that the trustee in bankruptcy takes subject to the wife's right, for this right is an equity. To seek possession alternatively to proceedings under section 105 (1) of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, the trustee could proceed by way of originating summons in the husband's name under section 17 of the Married Women's Property Act, 1882.
Denning, LJ makes reference to Bendall v. McWhirter in Jess B. Woodcock & Sons Ld. v Hobbs [1955] 1 W.L.R. 152, at page 155, when he observes, "Many cases have come before the courts lately where a husband owns the matrimonial home and then deserts his wife, leaving her there with the children. In such a case the husband cannot turn his wife and children out into the street simply because he is the legal owner of the house. He can only recover possession if the court thinks fit to order her to go. If he goes bankrupt and the house becomes vested in his trustee in bankruptcy, the trustee cannot get possession unless the court in its discretion orders her out: Bendall v. McWhirter. So much is well settled."
In Hadkinson v Hadkinson [1952] P. 285, at page 297, Denning, LJ (as he then was) mentions bankruptcy in the following terms: "Since the Judicature Acts the same rule has been applied to the Bankruptcy courts. Thus, when a bankrupt had disobeyed an order to make a statement of his affairs and had deliberately kept out of the way of the court and of his creditors, he was held to be in contempt and the Bankruptcy court refused to hear his counsel on an inquiry as to damages for breach of contract, even though no attachment had been issued against him, and this court upheld the ruling: see In re Langworthy (1887) 3 T.L.R. 826."
Denning, LJ's next substantial contribution to the bankruptcy jurisdiction came in In re A Debtor, No. 991 of 1962 v H. Tossoun [1963] 1 W.L.R. 51. This case concerned an application to set aside a bankruptcy notice and the duty of registrar to receive further evidence. The Court of Appeal had to consider these issues and the Bankruptcy Rules, 1952 (S.I. 1952, No. 2113 (L.14)), rr. 137, 138, 139—Bankruptcy Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 59), s. 1 (1) (g). The facts of the case broadly hinge around a disputed cross-demand between the creditor and debtor. The debtor sought to adduce further evidence, including documents, to substantiate his cross-demand, but the registrar refused to receive further evidence on that matter, holding that he had no power to do so; and he dismissed the application to set aside the bankruptcy notice. The debtor appealed this decision up to the Denning, LJ and his Court of Appeal brethren. They held that the application to set aside the bankruptcy notice ought not to have been dismissed and that it should be referred back to the registrar for rehearing and to admit the further evidence.
They observed that where an issue as to a cross-demand had been joined, the registrar had ample jurisdiction to receive further evidence generally in order to fulfil his duty to reach a conclusion on the question whether there was a genuine cross-demand.
In re Davenport No. 332 of 1962 [1963] 1 W.L.R. 817 we again see Denning, LJ in action in the bankruptcy sphere, this time in relation to a director infant, a debt guarantee and the exercise of discretion. Judgment was given against an infant (aged 18) for an unenforceable debt. As a consequence of this a receiving order and order of adjudication in bankruptcy were made against the infant debtor on the application of landlords. She was the director of a limited company. She had guaranteed the rent of the business premises. The rent fell into arrears. The Court of Appeal had to consider the discretion in court to set aside orders and the Bankruptcy Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 59), s. 29 (1).
It was argued that the receiving order ought not to have been made because she was an infant at the date of the judgment and the receiving order, and the guarantee of the rent in the underlease was a debt unenforceable against an infant. These arguments did not succeed at first instance before the Registrar. The bankrupt appealed. The appeal was allowed. The Court of Appeal held that although an infant could be made bankrupt in respect of debts legally enforceable against an infant, the debt on which the judgment and the petition were founded in this case was a debt unenforceable against an infant, and, there being no other legally enforceable debts against this infant, the court should in the exercise of its discretion under section 29 of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, annul the order of adjudication in bankruptcy and all the proceedings anterior to it.
Readers will note that Denning, LJ's contributions to date had been on the personal side of the subject. We now get his first corporate contribution in the shape of In Re Cyona Distributors Ltd [No. 00465 of 1956] [1967] Ch. 889. The case concerned a company in winding up, fraud by a director and the possible imposition of a trust for creditors generally. The salient provision under consideration was the Companies Act, 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. 6, c. 38), s. 332 . The fraud in the case related to a director of the company who was being prosecuted for conspiracy to defraud the Inland Revenue Commissioners of purchase tax. On March 8, 1961, the day of the trial of the director, bankers' drafts for the bulk of the commissioners' outstanding claim were handed over to the commissioners at the door of the court by the director's solicitor. The liquidators contended that the commissioners held the sum received by them on March 8, 1961, for the liquidator.
At first instance Plowman J. held that the claim under section 332 was impressed with a trust for the creditors generally and that the commissioners were accountable to the liquidator for the sum paid to them in extinguishment of their claim. The commissioners appealed. The appeal was allowed. Lord Denning MR (as he had by now become) held that the commissioners were not accountable for the sum received by them because a claim by a creditor under section 332 of the Act of 1948 was made on his own account and that such a claim was not made under a trust; and that the payment of the money had nothing to do with the application under the section.
Lord Denning MR's next contribution, again on the corporate side of the subject followed in Rolls Razor Ltd. v Cox [1967] 1 Q.B. 552. Readers will not need reminding of this first salvo in the famous case series on, inter alia, set-off. Lord Denning M.R., Danckwerts and Winn L.JJ. sat on the panel in the case. They had to consider the Bankruptcy Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 59), s. 31. Section 31 of the Bankruptcy Act 1914 provided a set-off provision that could not be excluded by agreement. Cox was a door-to-door salesman of washing machines. The company supplied him with a van and stock. In terms of payment, "The company paid him the commission earned in the previous week but retained a percentage in a retention fund against possible default by the salesman, the cash retained being repayable in three instalments after determination of the agreement between the parties."
The company went into voluntary liquidation in July 1964 and "On that date, the company held in the retention fund and in respect of the previous week's sales GBP 246 on behalf of the defendant salesman. The salesman held GBP 106 from sales, goods for sale worth GBP 3 and seven tap-adapters, not for sale but for use when demonstrating the machines." The salesman attempted to assert a lien on the cash and goods in his hands. The liquidator sued the defendant for all the cash and goods in his hands and claimed that no set-off could take place and that he was restricted to proving in the bankruptcy.
At first instance the county court judge ordered Cox to hand over the goods and the money. Cox appealed. It was held by the Court of Appeal that Cox was entitled to the set-off provided by the 1914 Act, for there had been mutual dealings within the section, and its operation could not be excluded by agreement.
The next Lord Denning MR insolvency case of note is Prichard v Westminster Bank Ltd. and Same [1969] 1 W.L.R. 547. The panel in the case consisted of Lord Denning M.R., Edmund Davies and Phillimore LJJ. The case concerned the administration of an insolvent estate and the rules providing for creditors to rank pari passu. The statutory provisions that were discussed were the Administration of Estates, 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 23), and s. 34—Bankruptcy Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 59), s. 33 (5) (7). The debtor died leaving a gross estate of £27,530. However, when a national bank, as executors, began to administer the estate it was found to be insolvent. A creditor obtained a judgment for a debt of £144. This sum was duly paid. When this was appealed the Court of Appeal held that, "the clear statutory provisions of section 33 (5) and (7) of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, which became operative by virtue of section 34 of the First Schedule to the Administration of Estates Act, 1925, made it obligatory that all debts proved in the bankruptcy, deemed to be at the date of the death, should be paid pari passu, and there was no room for the exercise of a discretion in favour of a diligent creditor."
Other bankruptcy and insolvency related cases in which the Lord Denning was involved include:
"BPIR is an excellent series, of interest to both corporate and personal insolvency lawyers,...
"This is the ultimate statement of where the law on IVAs is to be found in our great common law...

In a tersely worded letter to legislators released today, California business groups have rejected Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg's latest effort to push forward reforms to the state's cumbersome CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) regulations. Unions and environmentalists have been able to use the act's liberal lawsuit provisions to slow down and even stop major construction projects as they seek concessions.
Critics have assailed Steinberg for promoting an aggressive reform bill (SB 743) that deals only with his favored NBA arena project in his home city of Sacramento, while allowing statewide reform (SB 731) to languish. On Friday, Steinberg responded with a set of proposed amendments to jump-start CEQA reforms across the state. But the CEQA Working Group, comprised of California business, educational and manufacturing groups, said that the new amendments do not address the problems that concern them.
"Unfortunately, the current draft of SB 731 (amended September 9) falls short of meaningful CEQA reform," they wrote. "While we understand there may be additional amendments forthcoming, the current draft of SB 731 contains troubling provisions that will increase the opportunity for meritless CEQA lawsuits and extend the CEQA process and avenues for delay and obstruction."
As I wrote for the U-T on Sunday, critics find it unfair that the Senate president believes strongly enough in CEQA reform that he would want it for his pet project, but not strongly enough that he supports similar measures for other important projects.
