'This third volume in Hyperion's Romantic Violin Concerto series may make you wonder why Hubay's Third Concerto has escaped the attention of virtually every fiddle player from Heifetz to Hahn. If, like me, you're a sucker for lashings of blistering virtuosity, strong, well-contrasted melodic content, and a substantial orchestral contribution, I promise that you will not be disappointed' (BBC Music Magazine)
'This essentially fun record could have gone for nothing without the superb playing of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the redoubtable Martyn Brabbins, Andrew Keener's top-notch production values and, most especially, the jaw-dropping virtuosity of Hagai Shaham. Whatever Hubay throws at him, Shaham negotiates it with apparently nonchalant ease and invariably spotless intonation' (The Strad)
'These last two of Hubay's four violin concertos make a most attractive addition to Hyperion's emergent series of Romantic violin concertos … The Israeli soloist Hagai Shaham has the advantage of having been taught by one of Hubay's pupils, Ilona Feher. Not only does he relish the Hungarian inflections in a winningly idiomatic way, he plays with an ethereal purity in the many passages of stratospheric melody. As so often, Martyn Brabbins proves a most sympathetic partner, drawing committed playing from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, helped by beautifully balanced, cleanly focused recording' (Gramophone)
'Shaham, who has no competition in these two works, plays them with great stylistic authority, providing all the dash the showy but never meretricious parts require' (Fanfare, USA)
'Hagai Shaham offers a deftly turned, heartfelt performance … The orchestral contribution is a winning ace' (International Record Review)
'an outstanding violinist' (The Guardian)
'glowing, flamboyant renditions' (Classic FM Magazine)
'Shaham's combination of grace, wit, and ardency, well supported by Brabbins, shows Hubay's lightweight romanticism in its best light' (Irish Times)
'Le violoniste israélien Hagai Shaham … en propose une vision pleine de panache au style exemplaire' (Diapason, France)
'Hagai Shaham plays like a major virtuoso … and genuinely seems to be enjoying himself with this beautifully crafted music … Hubay was a composer of substance, and this disc makes a very strong case for him. Do try to hear it' (ClassicsToday.com)
'Hagai Shaham plays like a foremost virtuoso, performing with total equanimity, managing the most difficult passages, which flow from his instrument with ease, and backed by an orchestra on top form' (Hi-Fi Plus)
'The Hungarian's Third Violin Concerto is a masterly exercise in the vein of Mendelssohn, complete with passages of astonishing virtuoso display, which the soloist Hagai Shaham accomplishes m suitably florid style. The 11 Hungarian Variations and the "Antique" Fourth Concerto make similarly exciting listening' (The Independent)

The Romantic Piano Concerto series (currently at volume 31) has become one of Hyperion's most popular projects to date, and this disc should help guide The Romantic Violin Concerto series to similar critical acclaim. Hubay's 3rd concerto mirrors the format of the piano concertos of Liszt (with whom he studied composition) in that it is performed without a break between the movements. The 4th concerto adheres to a more traditional baroque format regarding structure, melody and harmony, hence it's title. The third work on the disc comprises a theme and twelve variations. All three works are virtuosic display pieces comparable to the concertos of Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps, and call for much pyrotechnics from the soloist. Hubay is widely acknowledged as the founder of the 'Hungarian school' of violin playing. His list of prodigies includes the virtuoso violinist Ilona Fehér who went on to teach Hagai Shaham. The sonorous, round and broad tone that is the main beauty of the Hubay-school is unmistakable in Shaham's performance here, making this a stunning first recording for Hyperion. |

Introduction |
Jeno Hubaycomposer, violin virtuoso and distinguished pedagogueis best known today, despite the wide range of his compositions, for his showpieces for violin, especially the famous Hejre Kati, one of fourteen pieces from Scènes de la Csárda which is frequently played in recitals as an encore. Hubays list of works includes four symphonies (including the Petofi Symphony Op 119 for soloist, choir and big orchestra), eight operas (the most famous of which is The violin-maker from Cremona Op 40), four concertos for violin and orchestra, and a concert piece for viola and orchestra. He wrote also Variations on a Hungarian Theme for violin and orchestra, a romantic sonata for violin and piano and numerous pieces for violin, many of them with a Hungarian flavour: Fantasie hongroise Op 1, Lahore Suite Op 3 No 1, CarmenFantaisie Brilliante Op 3 No 3, Echos de la Puszta Op 7, Zephyr Op 30 No 5, Fleur de Mai Op 37 No 1, Nocturne Op 42, Eine Pusztenfahrt Op 57, Scènes denfants Op 84, Fliederbusch Op 109. His educational works such as the Etudes Concertantes Op 89 and many other etudes for violin hold an important place in his output, which encompasses 126 opus numbers.
Hubay is considered in his native country to be the founder of the Hungarian school of violin playing. The list of his prodigies includes the virtuosos Josef Szigeti, Stefi Geyer, Guila Bustabo, Franz de Vecsey, Ede Zathureczky, Jelly dAranyi, Zoltan Székely, Endre Gertler, Eugen Ormandy (who of course went on to be a famous conductor), Tibor Varga, Sandor Vég, Tibor Serly, Wanda Luzzato, Eddy Brown, Erna Rubinstein, Lorand and Alice Fenyves, Ilona Fehér (who taught Hagai Shaham, the violinist on this recording), and many other distinguished violinists, who collectively diffused this school throughout many countries. The defining characteristic of this school is rooted in its pedagogical foundation: Stefi Geyer said that Hubay taught us to think individually, so that it was possible for every pupil to play differently but still have the special quality and similaritywhich is the sonorous, round and broad tone that is the main beauty of the Hubay school. Jeno Hubay was born as Jeno Huber in Budapest on 15 September 1858 into a musical family: his father Karl was the principal violinist in the National Theatre, himself a pedagogue, composer and conductor (he conducted the Budapest premiere of Wagners Lohengrin in 1866). His Violin method went through forty-seven editions. He was also the first teacher of his son. The young Jeno performed a Viotti concerto with orchestra when he was eleven years old. At the age of fifteen, he moved to Berlin to study with Joseph Joachim for three years (18736). Between 1876 and 1878, he studied composition with Ferenc Liszt in Budapest and frequently performed with him. From 1878 he studied in Paris with Henri Vieuxtemps, becoming a close friend, until Vieuxtempss death in Algiers in 1881. Hubay edited and completed some of his works posthumously, following his masters wishes. Successful concert tours to France, England, Belgium and the Netherlands soon followed. In 1882, at the age of twenty-three, he received an invitation from Brussels to take up the post of the principal professor of violin at the Conservatory there. Four years later he returned to Budapest permanently, as successor to his father at the Conservatory, a post he held from 1886 until 1899. At the same time he served as head of the violin school of the Academy of Music. In 1901 he performed with the young pianist Béla Bartók, who at that time studied at the academy. He was the director there from 1919 until 1934, during which time the academy was the only high school in Budapest without a numerus clausus restriction, and consequently many of Hubays students were of Jewish origin. The Music Hall in Hubays mansion on the bank of the River Danube in Budapest was a meeting place for many famous artists in Europe: not only musicians, but writers, poets and actors were frequently his guests. Being a virtuoso performer, most of Hubays early compositions were written for his own use, and for furthering his own violin technique. However, his Hungarian-inspired compositions were also frequently performed by other violinists and were well received all over Europe. (Hubays understanding of Hungarian is the gypsy versionA la Zingaraas used by Liszt, Brahms and many other contemporary composers, contrary to the Magyar folk music collected and researched by Bartók and Kodály.) The strong character of Liszt inspired Hubays attitude towards the modern music of his time, although the music of Brahms also served as a model. On Brahmss visit to Budapest in the winter of 1886 the Hubay Quartet (including the famous cellist David Popper) performed his quartets from the manuscript. Hubay gave the first performance of Brahmss Third Violin Sonata Op 108, with the composer at the piano, on 22 December 1888 in Budapest. Later he admired the music of Richard Strauss and Debussy. For fifty years Hubay played a leading role in Hungarian music. However, during socialist times in Hungary (after the Second World War) his contribution to Hungarys cultural life was forgotten. Perhaps his cause wasnt helped by his marriage into a noble family (his wife was a baroness), his receiving of many honours and doctorates abroad, and his relationship with the Austro-Hungarian kingdom (he was knighted in 1909). In addition, the attitude towards Hubay was perhaps coloured by his personal discrepancies with Bartók and Kodály, who became Hungarys national composers. Nevertheless, until his death in 1937 Hubay was a dominant figure in the musical life of his country and one of the most prominent violinists of his time. The Violin Concerto No 3 in G minor Op 99, dedicated to Franz de Vecsey, is perhaps the most popular of Hubays concertos. Since the first performance in 1907 by his world famous disciple Vecsey (who was also the dedicatee of Sibeliuss concerto), many contemporary violinists performed it frequently. The composer conducted the first performance in the newly built Academy of Music. Vecsey also played the concerto with great success in London and Berlin. This composition follows the structural plan of Liszts piano concertos. It has four movements, instead of the usual three, performed with almost no break between them. The Introduction quasi Fantasia presents the main theme in the orchestra. This subject has two contrary motifs: the first is based on a descending broken chord ending on a long note, after which comes a dotted, jumpy rhythm. The orchestra ends its exposition with a reminder of the first motif. The soloist repeats the first motif and continues with technically demanding passagework. The element of fantasy is enhanced by the sudden changes between the quiet melodic line (based on the main theme) and the rapid virtuoso passages. The second movement Scherzo comes without a break in fast triple time, with staccato notes first in the strings, then on the flutes. The entrance of the solo violin brings a new theme in double time. The orchestra soon introduces a new theme in a major key, also in triple time, but the soloist continues his theme and persuades the orchestra to join him before they once more go their separate ways. Finally they are reunited, the orchestra in agreement with the soloist. A short pause leads into the Adagio third movement, which begins with a long chord above which the clarinet plays a solo passage reminiscent of the theme of the first movement. There is an unexpected outburst from the orchestra before the entrance of the soloist with a calm, romantic tune characterized by its dotted rhythm; this is repeated in different keys. The expressively melodic middle section of the movement exploits the violins highest register, before a recapitulation of the earlier solo material. The final movementAllegro con fuocostarts with a timpani roll before the strings introduce the syncopated, chromatic main theme in fugato. The soloist enters with descending trills and unaccompanied cadenza-like passages before reaching the main theme, which serves as the basic musical element of this movement. There follows a cadenza of fearsome difficulty that recalls thematic material from all three previous movements, before the violinist plays the main subject once more. Just before the end, against the main theme in the orchestra, the soloist plays a beautiful contrapuntal melody, before exchanging roles with the orchestra in a rapid coda. The set of eleven Variations on a Hungarian Theme in D minor Op 72 begins with the orchestra presenting part of the theme (four bars) as an introduction. The solo violin is the main protagonist in this work, and his entrance is already a sort of variation with the addition of two more bars, which breaks the metrical balance of the tune. The full theme is presented by the soloist after a slow cadenza-like interlude played on the G-string. Each variation has a typical character: the first is made of two slurred bars alternating with fast staccato triplets, the second is a set of triplets in double stops, the third has pizzicato chords and fast, bowed low-pitched semiquavers. The fourth variation is a duet between the flute and the violins harmonics. The mood relaxes in the fifth variation, which brings a slower contrapuntal melody. The sixth variation is in B flat minor with fast, rising figures, ending with a short cadenza. The seventh variation introduces fast arpeggios over a plucked accompaniment. In variation eight the tune is in the violas, while the solo plays a trilled figure and double stops. The ninth variation has the orchestral violins accompanied by chords from the soloist, a texture which is inverted in the next variation. The last variation recalls the beginning of the theme, before running triplets take us to the final cadenzathis brilliant piece of showmanship brings us back to the final recapitulation of the theme. The Violin Concerto No 4 in A minor Op 101 (Allantica) differs from most of Hubays romantic music by being built on baroque forms. It was composed during the winter of 1906/7 and dedicated to Stefi Geyer, another one of his famous disciples. The first movement starts with a slow Preludio, with baroque-like, traditional melody and harmony in old style, according to its name; only the romantic orchestration identifies the era of its composition. The theme of the first six bars in the orchestra serves as the basic material for this movement. Soon after the soloists entrance it moves from its tonic A minor to more remote tonalities, but never loses its harmonic foundation and returns safely to the home key. This feeling of harmonic stability is familiar from the old style the music emulates, complete with Tierce de Picardie tonic major ending. The second movement is a fast dance-like Corrente in triple time. A characteristic theme, starting with a pizzicato chord followed by jumpy quavers, provides the main subject of this movement. The Musette middle sectionnamed after a French bagpipe-accompanied dance here imitated by the continuous drone played by the solo violins open G-stringhas the soloists melody (on the D string, simultaneously with the drone) accompanied by flutes and oboes. The repeated Corrente ends the movement. Some contemporary music critics believed this to be the best movement in Hubays music. The third movement (Larghetto) introduces a religious prayer-like mood, with long-drawn, hushed melodic lines in romantic spirit. It offers a contrast to the previous dances. The main melody of the solo violin is followed by a poco animato section in minor key, with agitated double stops from the soloist. A middle section follows where the soloist polyphonically combines two melodies, after which the first theme returns. The movement ends after a calm coda recalling the previous polyphonic material. In the Finale, after a syncopated orchestral opening, the soloist introduces a quick and angular theme, followed by passages of scales and arpeggios. This brilliant passagework culminates with a cadenza, this time not a very long one but nevertheless technically demanding. The concerto ends in an optimistic C major. Amnon Shaham © 2003 |

Each technology has some inherent limitations or disadvantages that make it practical or economical for only a limited range of applications. The capability of each technology for high power and high energy applications are indicated by the following symbols:
Large -scale stationary applications of electric energy storage can be divided in three major functional categories:
Although some storage technologies can function in all application ranges, most options would not be economical to be applied in all three functional categories.
Size and weight of storage devices are important factors for certain applications. Metal-air batteries have the highest energy density in this chart. However, the electrically rechargeable types, such as zinc-air batteries, have a relatively small cycle life and are still in the development stage.
The energy density ranges reflect the differences among manufacturers, product models and the impact of packaging.
While capital cost is an important economic parameter, it should be realized that the total ownership cost (including the impact of equipment life and O&M costs) is a much more meaningful index for a complete economic analysis. For example, while the capital cost of lead-acid batteries is relatively low, they may not necessarily be the least expensive option for energy management (load leveling) due to their relatively short life for this type of application.
The battery costs in this chart have been adjusted to exclude the cost of power conversion electronics. The cost per unit energy has also been divided by the storage efficiency to obtain the cost per output (useful) energy.
Installation cost also varies with the type and size of the storage. The information in the chart and table here should only be used as a guide not as detailed data.
Efficiency and cycle life are two important parameters to consider along with other parameters before selecting a storage technology. Both of these parameters affect the overall storage cost. Low efficiency increases the effective energy cost as only a fraction of the stored energy could be utilized. Low cycle life also increases the total cost as the storage device needs to be replaced more often. The present values of these expenses need to be considered along with the capital cost and operating expenses to obtain a better picture of the total ownership cost for a storage technology.
Per-cycle cost can be the best way to evaluate the cost of storing energy in a frequent charge/discharge application, such as load leveling.
This chart shows the capital component of this cost, taking into account the impact of cycle life and efficiency. For a more complete per-cycle cost, one needs to also consider O&M, disposal, replacement and other ownership expenses, which may not be known for the emerging technologies.
It should be noted that per-cycle cost is not an appropriate criterion for peak shaving or energy arbitrage where the application is less frequent or the energy cost differential is large and volatile.
In each cell of a ZnBr battery, two different electrolytes flow past carbon-plastic composite electrodes in two compartments separated by a microporous polyolefin membrane.
During discharge, Zn and Br combine into zinc bromide, generating 1.8 volts across each cell. This will increase the Zn2+ and Br- ion density in both electrolyte tanks. During charge, metallic zinc will be deposited (plated) as a thin film on one side of the carbon-plastic composite electrode. Meanwhile, bromine evolves as a dilute solution on the other side of the membrane, reacting with other agents (organic amines) to make thick bromine oil that sinks down to the bottom of the electrolytic tank. It is allowed to mix with the rest of the electrolyte during discharge. The net efficiency of this battery is about 75%.
The ZnBr battery was developed by Exxon in the early 1970's.
Integrated ZnBr energy storage systems are now available in a range if sizes:
On transportable trailers (storage systems including power electronics) with unit capacities of up to 1MW/3MWh for utility-scale applications. As a building block, these units can be paralleled and expanded for much larger applications

Vanadium Redox Batteries store energy by employing vanadium redox couples (V2+/V3+ in the negative and V4+/V5+ in the positive half-cells). These are stored in mild sulfuric acid solutions (electrolytes).
During the charge/ discharge cycles, H+ ions are exchanged between the two electrolyte tanks through the hydrogen-ion permeable polymer membrane. The cell voltage is 1.4-1.6 volts. The net efficiency of this battery can be as high as 85%. Like other flow batteries, the power and energy ratings of Vanadium Redox Batteries are independent of each other.
Updated April 2009
Vanadium Redox Batteries were pioneered in the Australian University of New South Wales (UNSW) in early 1980's. The Australian Pinnacle Vanadium Redox Batteries bought the basic patents in 1998 and licensed them to Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI) and VRB Power Systems. Vanadium Redox Batteries storage up to 500kW, 10 hrs (5MWh) have been installed in Japan by SEI. Vanadium Redox Batteries have also been applied for power quality applications (3MW, 1.5 sec., SEI).

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is not a simple energy storage system like other batteries. It is a peaking gas turbine power plant that consumes less than 40% of the gas used in conventional gas turbine to produce the same amount of electric output power. This is because, unlike conventional gas turbines that consume about 2/3 of their input fuel to compress air at the time of generation, CAES pre-compresses air using the low cost electricity from the power grid at off-peak times and utilizes that energy later along with some gas fuel to generate electricity as needed. The compressed air is often stored in appropriate underground mines or caverns created inside salt rocks. It takes about 1.5 to 2 years to create such a cavern by dissolving salt.
The first commercial CAES was a 290 MW unit built in Hundorf, Germany in 1978. The second commercial CAES was a 110 MW unit built in McIntosh, Alabama in 1991. The construction took 30 months and cost $65M (about $591/kW). This unit comes on line within 14 minutes.
The third commercial CAES, the largest ever, is a 2700 MW plant that is planned for construction in Norton, Ohio. This 9-unit plant will compress air to 1500 psi in an existing limestone mine some 2200 feet under ground.

Lead-acid is one of the oldest and most developed battery technologies. It is a low cost and popular storage choice for power quality, UPS and some spinning reserve applications. Its application for energy management, however, has been very limited due to its short cycle life. The amount of energy (kWh) that a lead-acid battery can deliver is not fixed and depends on its rate of discharge.
Lead-acid batteries, nevertheless, have been used in a few commercial and large-scale energy management applications. The largest one is a 40 MWh system in Chino, California, built in 1988. The table below lists and compares the lead-acid storage systems that are larger than 1MWh.

Metal-air batteries are the most compact and, potentially, the least expensive batteries available. They are also environmentally benign. The main disadvantage, however, is that electrical recharging of these batteries is very difficult and inefficient. Although many manufacturers offer refuelable units where the consumed metal is mechanically replaced and processed separately, not many developers offer an electrically rechargeable battery. Rechargeable metal air batteries that are under development have a life of only a few hundred cycles and an efficiency about 50%.
The anodes in these batteries are commonly available metals with high energy density like aluminum or zinc that release electrons when oxidized. The cathodes or air electrodes are often made of a porous carbon structure or a metal mesh covered with proper catalysts. The electrolytes are often a good OH- ion conductor such as KOH. The electrolyte may be in liquid form or a solid polymer membrane saturated with KOH.
While the high energy density and low cost of metal-air batteries may make them ideal for many primary battery applications, the electrical rechargeability feature of these batteries needs to be developed further before they can compete with other rechargeable battery technologies.

I don't think any mechanical hard drive out there will even saturate SATA 2, so I doubt there is an issue with the cable... though I am also foggy about SATA2 vs. SATA3 cables... gimmick?
Agreed. SATA II can do up to 3 gigabits a second, or ~375 megabytes a second. You're seeing transfer speeds of about half that (peak) so you're well within the limit of what SATA II can do. You'd need a modern SSD to take advantage of SATA III.
Yeah, I have my Samsung using a SATA3 cable, and it gets about 410 on read, so cool deal, glad this worked out
If the connectors are the same for sata 2 and 3, how are the cables different? Edit: oh wait! http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139183
i buy a usual red $1,- sata cable, i bet that's sata 2 right ?? what's the 'fair' price for a sata 3 cable ??
I think te red cable can do SATA 3 fine, as I am using one, all those expensive "SATA 3" cables are just marketing B.S.
I watched the Linus Tech Tips extensive testing for the difference betwen SATA2 and 3 cables and the conclusion after all teh tests was, that there is no difference between the cables labelled as SAtA 2 or 3. So yeah, a red one will do perfectly fine I think.
The cable standard did not changed between SATA2 and SATA3, so the cables are identical. In fact I don't believe the cable has changed since SATA1.
I think the latch is optional, a lot of newer cables don't have them. Even cabled labeled "SATA3". I don't think the latch even even part of the standard, just something additional some manufacturers added because people were complaining SATA cables came out too easily.
Latches on SATA cables were around years before SATAIII was released, but as a standard, I think newtekie is right, most manufacturers just decide to use cables with latches, I know Gigabyte has always preferred them even back before SATAIII.
Latch IS part of the standard. I'd love to see an unlatched SATA 6Gb/s cable... ...so I can avoid them
Most SATAIII cables have latches, but you can find SATAIII cables without latches, Newegg sales them, I don't think the industry standard for SATA cables has changed, I could be wrong, but if you mean that it is just common then yea. As for the point of this thread. http://www.sata-io.org/documents/SATA-Revision-3.0-FAQ-FINAL.pdf http://www.sata-io.org/
That's not a SATA 6 Gb/s cable. A SATA 6 Gb/s cables says "SATA 6 Gb/s" on it(also as a requirement), not just SATA like those do. Latches are required, and that's why the connectors on motherboards have the ability to use the latches in the first place. However, I never said that regular SATA cables would cause any performance issues.. that depends on cable quality and length. SATA6RA1 = SATA, 6-inch, Right Angle 1-side. With all the motherboards I've reviewed, I've seen 'em all(I mean SATA 6 Gb/s cables). Yeah, pointedly, it says any cable can work fine.
Read the specs. Type: SATA III You're nuts if you think all SATA 6 cables have to say SATA 6 on them. As TheOne pointed out, even SATA-IO says the cables didn't change since SATA 1.5, that includes the latch being required.
:shadedshu http://www.sata-io.org/developers/naming_guidelines.asp Explains how WRONG that newegg listing is. There is no such thing as "SATA III" EDIT: NO, it says : "can be used to connect" can be used...CAN..not that nothing has changed..
The cables are the same. If your just running a platter drive there is no difference Did Phusius get banned?
From my understanding (reading the "Serial ATA Revision 3.1 Specification") for a single lane cable; they can be: A. cables can be what ever color they want. B. "ClickConnect" is optional. (what everyone calls latches) C. connector labeling is optional. D.The cables/connectors meets the electrical characteristics requirements of the spec. However, I am sure there may be vendors/manufacturers out there that turn out cables with SATA 6 Gb/s stamped all over them and they may not meet the spec of the Serial ATA International Organization. This has nothing to do with the Serial ATA International Organization, but it's my view of cables... Cables should be stamp with the specs of the cable itself from the cable manufacturer (Except for the few who have specialized cable, but it should still be on the packaging or available). So, you may want to check the specs of cables from the manufacturers you plan on getting them from to see if they fall into the proper specs. And, I use the latch-less connectors in some areas that are hard to access quickly; or, if I have a need for tight spaces (I have found that an angled connector with no latch takes up less height than a latch one). EDIT: Says "Banned"... I would hazard a guess... that he is.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
O'Driscoll, who is the first man in the professional era to be named in four Lions squads, having debuted in Australia in 2001, captained the side to New Zealand in 2005 and played in the defeat in South Africa four years ago.
The 34-year-old is joined in the squad by Leinster club-mates Jamie Heaslip, who replaced him as Ireland captain ahead of this year's RBS Six Nations, Cian Healy, Rob Kearney, Sean O'Brien, and Jonathan Sexton.
Schmidt will no doubt be watching the tour with interest after Ireland trio Conor Murray and Paul O'Connell of Munster and Ulster's Tommy Bowe were also named in the 37-string squad.
And Schmidt, who will see out the domestic season as Leinster coach, admitted it was a proud moment for all those selected.
"I'm delighted for all six players and it is a huge honour for them and the province to have so many representatives on the tour to Australia," said Schmidt.
"On that note all of us at Leinster would like to add our congratulations to the other Irish representatives; Tommy Bowe, Conor Murray and Paul O'Connell."
And with O'Driscoll continuing to break records at the very top of the game, Schmidt is hopeful he can persuade the centre to continue with Ireland.
"He's put some pressure on me, so I'd certainly like to put a bit of pressure back on him," he added.
"He's very much his own man. He'll make his own decision but, at the same time, it doesn't stop you trying to push him towards one."
Ireland players selected for the British and Irish Lions:
Backs: Brian O'Driscoll (Leinster), Jonathan Sexton (Leinster), Tommy Bowe (Ulster), Conor Murray (Leinster), Rob Kearney (Leinster)
Forwards: Cian Healy (Leinster), Jamie Heaslip (Leinster), Sean O'Brien (Leinster), Paul O'Connell (Munster)

FreeBSD Ports and Packages Installation and upgrading of ports and packages on FreeBSD. |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
The problem is:
===> firefox-126.96.36.199_9,1 has known vulnerabilities: => mozilla -- multiple vulnerabilities. Reference: <http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/49e8f2ee-8147-11de-a994-0030843d3802.html> => Please update your ports tree and try again. Did you try the suggestion in the last line? (Update ports tree and try again).
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. |
Yes I did update my ports tree.but to no effect,but what did work was to add xulrunner to USE_GECKO+= in Epiphany makefile. Not sure if that is the right way to go but Epiphany updated no problem. Assuming that is the right way to go,is there a code that would cover all ports that depend on Firefox2 and its vulnerabilities rather than change each makefile for the relevant port. |
http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/49e8f2e...0843d3802.html says the following firefox versions are affected:
If you want to use the firefox browser, then there are two options: 1) Use firefox 3.0 or 3.5 (www/firefox3, www/firefox35) 2) Ignore the security problem and install firefox anyway by defining the DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES variable. Be sure to read and understand the issue and the impact it may have, if you do not, I would highly recommend using option 1. Quote:
You can set WITH_GECKO in /etc/make.conf to specify a system-wide preference. Acceptable values are: firefox nvu seamonkey thunderbird xulrunner flock mozilla libxul All of them are ports which live in www/.

Quirky attractions, but then again, that's the Arkansas State Fair.
"It takes us all year to work on this. Starting right now, we'll start working on next year," Ralph Shoptaw, general manager of the fair, said.
Shoptaw invited us to the fairgrounds where the rides are going up. They're carefully arranged and awaiting a series of inspections before anyone can ride.
Then there are the potential workers standing outside the gate, hoping for a job.
"I work one part-time at nights so I was hoping to get a little extra part-time money," Frederick Rowe said.
Every since police arrested a sex offender who worked a booth at the fair a few years ago, all employees must undergo a background check and drug test.
"If it's skeletons in your closet and you have something to hide you shouldn't come out here. Everyone would like to know who's in their surroundings," Rowe said.
Shoptaw has asked the LRPD to have officers in the surrounding neighborhoods, to make sure folks have trips to and from their cars.
There's one more thing Shoptaw said will put a bow on this year's fair, and he hopes our own Jeff Baskin can help him out.
"This weather is perfect fair weather. If it can stay like this, we'll take a lot of money to the bank," Shoptaw said.

Josh Marshall is a reporter for NBC25. He studied Broadcast Journalism at West Virginia University.
FLINT -- Doctors I spoke with say it is imperative for everyone to get a flu shot. However, misinformation is keeping some away from getting proper protection.
"I've heard a lot of people say you get sick from it," said Andrew Elrod.
There are two types of flu shots, an injection and nasal spray. Doctors say neither run a risk of infection. Although nasal spray does contain a safe live virus.
"There is no live organism in it so you are not getting any sort of live virus. You can't get sick from that because there is nothing living to cause infection," said Dr. Mukkamala.
There are three main strains this years vaccine is protecting against.
"There may be more than three circulating that may cause the flu," said Genesee County Health Department Heath Officer Mark Valacak.
And to raise awareness and protect the community the Genesee County Health Department is working with other agencies to host classes about the flu and administer flu shots.
"It is important for people to know that this is not only something that can make you ill but a disease that can cause death," said Valacak.
"The numbers of deaths you hear in some years is just a few thousand and up to as high as 49 thousand people," said Mukkamala
With better information the hope is to get more people vaccinated.

NASA's futuristic X-48C hybrid wing-body plane takes flight
NASA said today that its experimental X-48C hybrid wing-body airplane took flight for the first time.
A remotely powered prototype that's housed at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert, the X-48C is thought to be the future of efficient, long-haul aviation.
The plane is known as a hybrid wing-body because it's essentially a cross between a flying-wing design and a conventional plane. NASA and its partners in the U.S. Air Force, Boeing, and Cranfield Aerospace are confident the aircraft will offer users long-term fuel efficiency, fuel capacity, … Read more

All right we'll Arizona Senator John McCain with some very strong words on our show this morning about secretary Clinton's response.
To the deadly consulate attack in Libya.
Curious moments and now.
I -- -- admired Secretary Clinton and frankly I'm.
I'm really a little bit this sad and because she's really harming her reputation by engaging in this.
Incredible cover up throwing yourself under the bus just a couple of time she's.
She's done that.
Joined now by Tennessee Republican.
-- coworker on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee senator good morning good to have you with us tomorrow Martha.
Very strong words -- from your colleague good to have is always serve from her colleague Senator McCain this morning what do you think about Hillary Clinton's role in all of this and and how she has responded to it.
Look -- I've had as Jon -- good relationship whether she's been.
Very transparent.
What they think she's been -- stay I think this whole episode is unfortunate and I think it speaks to.
The essential character of this administration over the last four years and that is.
Always find some why the blind.
Someone now for what has happened and you know I -- -- been signed Martha from day one.
This the administration move within 24 hours I know this for a fact -- still know that for a fact I've known it all along they knew that from the very beginning.
Not only that this with a terrorist attack but they also -- which parties were involved than that and I doubt that's thanks it's big for this administration and they're continual efforts to find some reason.
That they're not responsible for what it.
Happened buyer.
That basically any evidence points to a very prolonged fight.
That ended about seven hours after those initial emails were sent to the situation round.
And it ended in a very bloody fight according to her reporting.
For two former Navy SEALs went guardian Tyrone woods -- have to wonder what's going into the minds of their families and friends as they hear.
That there -- her assets that could have been mobilized military assets during that seven hour period that for some reason we're not sent in to help.
What answers do we have -- for these people.
Yeah so so look in fairness among my major critique of this as -- -- response.
Just publicly about what is happening I didn't -- -- -- there on the ground and I know that they had to call and actually a civilian aircraft.
And it did take them some time to get an aircraft to take the response folks from Tripoli after they've got the when they got have been -- they -- to rely upon a militia to actually get him there and I took a circuitous route around the mother.
Anti American militias that happened to be in the area so I do know the response.
In and clumsy and out with the bath that the folks on the ground bottom of the -- Well let me -- from my may interject to question -- because that sounds like we you know we were relying on.
I'm friendly forces to us in Libya but not bringing in our own US military and I think that is a question a lot of people want answered why didn't we bring them in to help.
I think the question actually goes back Martha even before that and that is what all the things that have occurred in the area the British ambassador leaving all the things that -- -- -- that the previous bombings.
Why did we not have folks there to secure our -- and then -- that to me.
That is even the bigger question because those things were put in those warning -- shown early home -- are they now so.
It's the free effort and then obviously the response from the -- -- stroke -- which again is totally bizarre mostly.
Why not calling an clapper perhaps Leon Panetta the head of defense.
And others who would have been privy to this information in question about this in congress is that something that we can expect to -- eight.
-- PureAV actually had a very terse conversation myself what director clapper since this occurred and it's very disappointed in the presentation that he made and classified setting to senators on both the -- Again Martha.
Again I wanna go -- to the administration.
From day one of this administration has been all about -- and finance -- -- someone out that's just been that character of this administration.
It is still to make totally unacceptable that they would allow their ambassador to the United Nations -- five television programs on Sunday morning.
To purposely mislead the American people I am very upset about that you would thank.
That if they warrant purposely misleading the American people what they would have done on the very first show she was home of somebody -- -- given her the Hawkins that look she's off base.
They allow this to go on and I think -- that speaks again.
This administration politicizing this not not Republicans but this administration politicizing.
That staff for senator corporate thank you our speech against and I you know very.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Activists on Monday urged US President Barack Obama to keep up pressure on Myanmar's leaders to carry out reforms and halt ethnic violence, after his historic visit to a nation which was long a pariah.
"President Obama did make some important statements and conveyed the message that he takes the human rights situation seriously. And he appropriately referred to progress as tentative," Ms Suzanne Nossel, US executive director for Amnesty International, told AFP.
"The test will be is that pressure sustained? Obviously there are a number of different imperatives behind his trip." The first US sitting president to visit the South-east Asian nation, Mr Obama also met Myanmar's reformist President Thein Sein and urged the former general to speed up the country's march out of decades of iron-fisted military rule.
"This remarkable journey has just begun, and has much further to go," he said in a speech at Yangon University. "The flickers of progress that we have seen must not be extinguished. They must be strengthened." He also called for an end to sectarian unrest in the western state of Rakhine, saying there was "no excuse for violence against innocent people." Two major outbreaks of violence since June between stateless Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists in the state have left 180 people dead and more than 110,000 displaced.

Sussex passengers freeze on ice cold trains
7:26am Thursday 19th April 2012 in News By Rebecca Evans
A train company has admitted its heating systems are "unacceptable" after passengers travelled in near freezing temperatures.
First Capital Connect (FCC) said it turned the heating off inside its carriages earlier than normal this year after a mild March but after a recent cold snap passengers said they could see their breath and were forced to wear extra layers to keep warm.
Richard Marris, who gets the 5.14am train from Preston Park, said an app on his phone showed the temperature on the train last week was just 2C.
He said: "It is uncomfortable. It is OK if you are walking to the station in that weather but you wouldn't want to sit on a park bench."
In a letter to FCC managing director Neal Lawson the 45-year-old wrote: "It may aid your empathy if you get into work early in the next few days, switch your heating off, open the windows then sit and work with a hat, scarf and gloves on.
"Unless you can see your breath you won't be truly recreating what I experienced this morning."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union also criticised the lack of heating on trains.
FCC said it always switches the heating off in early April, regardless of the temperatures, and back on again in November but admitted issues with the heating systems on its class 319 trains in the past.
Last year there was a "major overhaul" of heating systems on the trains after the heating elements expired but were no longer being manufactured.
However this winter the new systems – with replaced wiring and elements – also cut out.
A company spokesman said the heating was on for sustained periods of time, which caused a protection circuit to trip out, switching the heating off.
He said: "In order to get the heating switched on again the train needed to be manually re-set inside a depot because the heating circuits are located underneath the carriages.
"We are looking at further modifications that can be made to avoid this in the future."
The company admitted that passengers have had to endure cold temperatures on their train journeys.
The spokesman said: "Unfortunately the weather got very cold again towards the end of March, which meant that customers experienced some very cold journeys due to the heating being switched off.
"The engineering team are looking at the wiring diagrams for the heating circuits to assess if improvements can be made, as the current situation is clearly unacceptable."

This is a great shirt to wear by itself with a pair of shorts in 35-45 degree weather. It is fitted, but not a compression shirt (I wish Adidas would clarify this more on the website) and is exactly what I was looking for. The shirt allows you to move freely and it regulates your body temperature well, so you don't overheat either. Great product, my only dilemma now is which color to buy next!

Amping Up The John Jericho Show!
UPDATE 3: The new episodes will be for mature audiences. In the test pilot episode, Tim Webb played the character role of Herby Luv. His new role name will be Drake Mallard. Plus, this Friday nights upcoming episode (March 30th), we introduce "Olga", our newest cast member who will be played by my real life wife. Finally, Tim Webb (Drake Mallard) has written a song called "Brain Train", which will be our new theme song. Btw, Tim has his own band called "Adayas" and they are really good. Please follow us: @realJohnJericho @DylanJericho @AdamHagstrum @JanisJericho @JohnJerichoShow and at Facebook and subscribe to us on Youtube. And please be sure to give us a few shout-outs and shares, pretty, pretty please.
Greetings Friends,
Thanks for viewing the first test pilot episode of the John Jericho Show. If you have not yet had the opportunity to view it, you may do so at The John Jericho Show Youtube account by click here. Please be sure to subscribe, share, like, and comment. And just so you know, that specific test pilot showed us that we need to amp it up and change a few things. This was the first time we've done something together like this as a team and as the old adage says, "learn from your mistakes", still rings true today. We're keeping the same story line (single parent, Afghan war vet suffering from PTSD , medical marijuana, etc), but we'll be catering more to adults. This means less farts! Perhaps no farts at all! And, we may have one of our cast members change their name to flow more evenly with the sitcom.
Additionally, since we seem to have trouble with Thursdays, we've moved the show to Fridays, so if you're subscribed to our Youtube account and have your Youtube setting to notify you of our new videos, you'll never miss an episode.
Anyway, thanks for reading this and viewing the video. Stay tuned for next week's episode which will be totally different and SuperAmped.

Editor's Note
I have to say I envied Jason and Ginny their adventures along Route 1.
- By: Paul Doiron
When we decided to devote an issue of Down East to Route 1 in Maine, we quickly found ourselves confronted with all sorts of practical problems. The road — from Fort Kent to Kittery — is 527 miles long (not counting all the offshoots of 1A). Unless you're planning on creating a roadside encyclopedia, you have to narrow the focus; there's simply no way to talk about all aspects of life along a highway that's longer than Massachusetts and New York state combined. (Yes, it's actually shorter to drive from Boston to Buffalo than from the Saint John to the Piscataqua along Route 1).
We decided that guidebooks had already done an exhaustive job of mapping out the highway's tourist attractions; shops, inns, and restaurants. But very few people, since the late photographer Berenice Abbott, had attempted to capture the many subcultures of Route 1. If you start on the Canadian border, as we did, and drive south, you pass not just through changing landscapes — from potato fields to pine forests to blueberry barrens to rocky coasts, salt marshes, and beaches — you also pass through a graduated series of Maine communities that have different ways of living but also different ways of looking at the world. So instead of creating yet another travel guide, we decided that we would focus on telling the stories of the people who live and work along the state's most famous road.
Next we had to find a photographer who could devote weeks to the project. Jason P. Smith logged hundreds of hours and miles searching for the images that tell the untold stories of Route 1. In his pictures you'll encounter not just proud farmers, but also purple-haired hula dancers.
Finally, we needed an extraordinary journalist who was willing to set out on the assignment of a lifetime. We found her in our own offices. Down East Senior Writer Virginia M. Wright has authored many of the magazine's best "place pieces"; her gift for capturing the essence of a community — whether it's Mount Vernon or Madawaska — has earned her some of the top awards in regional magazine writing. Ginny drove the entire length of Route 1 over the course of ten days on a true journey of discovery.
I have to say I envied Jason and Ginny their adventures. But looking at the pictures Jason took and the stories Ginny told, I feel in a way like I was riding shotgun with them the whole time. I hope you will, too.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Coast Guard officials say they are investigating a fire at an oil drilling platform off the coast of Louisiana that has killed at least two workers.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Carlos Vega told CBS News that the fire, which has not been put out, was the result of an oil rig explosion approximately 20 nautical miles southeast of Grand Isle, La.
CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV reports two workers had died and another two were missing, according to the Coast Guard.
Four other injured workers were air-lifted to a hospital, Kirk Trascher, a spokesman for the rig's owner, Black Elk Energy in Houston, told KHOU-TV.
A Louisiana parish official says the rig is not drilling at a deepwater site like the Macondo well that blew out in 2010. That blowout led to an explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts told CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV that the platform is a shallow water platform in the Gulf of Mexico. It is near West Cote Blanche Bay, south of New Iberia on the south-central Louisiana coast.
The Coast Guard says it has activated a command center to investigate the fire.
The size of the fire was not immediately clear.

Down East 2013 ©
Photograph by Ted Axelrod
For restaurateur Michael Boland, life and work are intertwined. His undergraduate years at College of the Atlantic (COA) instilled in him a strong eco-consciousness, a deep affection for Bar Harbor, and a passion for Central and South America, where he spent several months each year, skipping COA's winter trimester to study river dolphins, learn Spanish and Portuguese, and travel. He eventually settled in Bar Harbor, opening a string of restaurants including the Quarterdeck, Rupununi, Guinness & Porcelli's, and, most notably, Havana, where he and wife, Deirdre Swords, offer what they like to describe as "American fine dining with a Latin flair" — and justify their frequent trips far south of the border.
So perhaps it's no surprise that the couple's entrance into the Portland restaurant market came about at least in part due to daughter Zoe, now age five. With her school days approaching — and those of her sister Juno not far behind — Boland and Swords felt the pull of their urban roots, his in Philadelphia and hers in Manhattan.
Boland had kicked around the idea of a Portland restaurant for a few years. Then, as the economy cratered, "it became a really good time to be a tenant," he says.
Thus, Havana South. The 140-seat restaurant on Portland's Wharf Street merged several formerly dubious spaces — the nightclubs Industry and Cake, as well as a tiny Thai restaurant — into a cavernous yet elegant array of rooms. The roomy bar's floor-to-ceiling windows make it a prime spot for observing the entertaining excess of Old Port nightlife (to wit: women in impossibly high heels attempting to navigate the cobblestones after a few cocktails). In the main dining room, the combination of dark wood, vibrant red-orange walls, and exposed brick feels cozy and intimate — an accomplishment, given the square footage. Boland and business partners Cassady Pappas and Wade Apgar also installed rustic fabric panels, many of which are filled with soundproofing materials, along the tops of booths and room dividers in an attempt to dampen the din that occurs when the room is bustling.
And bustle it does, particularly on summer weekends when the stellar mojitos and sangria — the latter with a touch of cinnamon — are especially refreshing. Havana South does more bar business than Boland anticipated — just one of the ways in which the Portland expansion has challenged his expectations. Another challenge: Some diners are disappointed that the Portland outpost is not a carbon copy of the original Havana. Indeed, over time Havana South has become more casual than its Bar Harbor counterpart, with slightly less emphasis on fine dining.
However, the two restaurants still have much in common, including their Latin inspirations and lots of seafood. Havana South's paella is brimming with Maine shrimp, mussels, clams, and even a lobster claw or two — all, Boland says, sustainably harvested from the Gulf of Maine. Meanwhile, the Latin inspiration comes through in dishes such as a cod stew that includes tomatoes, olives, capers, and jalapenos, and a perfectly cooked braised lamb shank with a side of agave-infused mashed sweet potatoes. Other dishes are less well executed: pork gorditas — pulled pork with pico de gallo, guacamole, and onion relish — can be surprisingly bland, with the gordita itself more of a circular slab than a chewy corn tortilla.
Desserts employ an intriguing mix of sweet and savory. Fried vanilla ice cream is stacked above a chile-chocolate brownie that packs a welcome kick, while a piece of carrot cake with salted caramel sauce relies a bit too heavily on the salt. Havana South's wine list is extensive, and "wine guy" Ezra Provost, who'd be called the sommelier at a less self-assured establishment, helps diners navigate their options, from reasonably priced familiar varietals to more exotic and expensive choices. He and Boland also are aging and spicing their own rum, and they've just begun offering wine on tap, making Havana South one of the first restaurants in the state to do so. "It's cool and unique and, most importantly, it jives with our ideals," says Boland, referring to the fact that using kegs, rather than individual bottles, both preserves wine longer and cuts down on waste. "We're doing some cool stuff, and we love doing it."
Havana South is located at 50 Wharf Street in Portland. Open for dinner Monday through Saturday from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. The bar menu is available until 12:30 a.m. Appetizers $6 to $11; entrees $16 to $27; desserts $6 to $12. 207-772-9988. Havanamaine.com [2]

But right now North Korea apparently preparing for a missile test in defiance of -- UN ban and many.
International warnings in north Koreans insist this is all just for.
-- satellite but new reports in South Korea from their intelligence agency.
-- the first part of this rocket is already in place the alleged missile tests is seen by South Korea.
As an attempt to influence upcoming elections there and as an attempt as well to test ballistic missile technology that could be used to carry nuclear weapons.
The move is expected to further ratchet up tensions in the region it's always good to remind you that 30000.
American troops are stationed there.
I Japan is preparing for the launch as well by deploying surface to air missiles to shoot down anything that may enter -- -- -- so a lot of play here joining.
Gordon Chang author of nuclear showdown North Korea takes on the world and -- -- you say.
If this is all true North Korea has a very specific audience who and -- Well this specific audience would be -- Because North Korea and Iran have been conducting a joint missile development program for at least fifteen years.
In the beginning of September they signed a technical cooperation agreement and just yesterday Kyodo news agency reported that the Iranian ministry of defense is now -- personnel at a North Korean military facility.
Close to the Chinese border and there they -- for both nuclear weapons and missile purposes so we need to keep our eye on North Korea's relationship with -- -- And Gordon -- little bit more -- less a long range ballistic missiles imported not only because a weapon.
But because it can carry a nuclear warhead don't have that -- explain and a little bit more in our audience.
Well sure North Korea says it has particular weapons.
But -- rent is on the verge of getting them as well -- had warhead testing which looks like it's pretty well developed.
It's got a lot of enriched uranium which they're close to having enough for a warhead.
You know the only ingredient that is really missing is a working long range missile and that they're trying to get from North Korea and I think that the Iranians have pretty much told the north Koreans they want to see this thing launched to see if it will work.
Because that's the one thing they need in a -- had to make themselves a real threat.
Because that -- makes it possible for them to hit other targets beyond just the immediate region.
In which they're located in court in the State Department came out this weekend and said if this indeed takes place this missile test.
It would be considered a highly provocative act.
That threatens peace and security in the region that's what we're saying now what would be a response an appropriate response.
-- North Korea attempts and other tax.
Well the appropriate response would be much tighter sanctions that we have now and also I think that we need to talk to the Chinese because the Chinese have sold the north Koreans.
Probably missiles but we know what they sold them the launchers for the missile mobile launchers which makes North Korea a real threat and to put this in perspective.
A Defense Secretary Gates in January 2011.
Said that North Korea within five years would have a missile that would be able to strike the continental United States so this is not just a regional issue this is an issue which affects us.
How about -- -- always great to have you on the program we'll continue to watch -- did it and were anticipating according to you at the calendar.
That we could see a window for this test in the next week or so starting next week so we'll have you back as we -- -- watch this story thanks again as noise.
