If you have a positive opinion, then express it, but I’d be grateful if you’d try not to impute conspiratorial motives to people who simply don’t exhibit them, and who are entitled to their opinion. What you’re doing is simply bullying, and it would be good if you got over it. I’m not accusing either you, AlBrown, or you, mimicabin, of behaving like “packs of wolves”. And it’s bullying of the worst kind to suggest that I’m not entitled to an opinion just because that opinion happens to be negative. It’s not that they’re a “good start” or even a “bad start”, really - it’s that it’s completely the wrong direction. These sort of sound samples are, in my personal opinion, after having discussed this with nobody else on the, or off it, for that matter, a dreadful way to set someone off learning the music. This is nothing to do with “packs of wolves” or people ganging up. And most of them are a damn’ sight better than this one.Ģ The quality itself. In what way? There are plenty of sites with sound clips plus notation. Plus the claims that it’s “new” and “unique”. “It’s the Irish music tutor you’ve being waiting for all your life.” I mean, c‘mon! That’s bound to get a negative reaction when the site you click on is so bloody awful. In my opinion.īut the reaction here is, at least as far as I’m concerned, for two reasons:ġ Reaction against hubris. You can’t learn this music out of a book, so the audio ought to be the centre of the thing. I don’t think what the book is like has any relevance. I hope the developers will continue to improve what they have done. If you are going to advertise ABC I think you should use it, and not some bastardized means of sort of showing note names using a different scheme. More problematic to me is that, at least in the free Tutor lesson, the page does NOT show notation and ABC. Cure you can overdo and expect the sort of playing at sessions that are in this tutor, but I suspect the folks at the session would quickly change that. As I’ve said before here I think you can pick up the tune patterns from things like this and then get the right interpretations from going to sessions. I’d suggest they developers take a look at adapting the capabilities now in abc2MIDI to get rid of some of that rigidity. Well, I guess they are MIDI tracks, but they ARE rather good sounding ones. Re: New and Unique approach to learn Session Music I’m sure the hate will be directed at me now for putting my two cents in. It will sound much better, add cred to the project and probably result in more sales.Ĭhill out people, no one is putting a gun to your head. My advice (if the author is reading this) is to try to record the tracks with an actual musician, even if it only includes a quarter of the tunes. The one thing I will say about it from listening to the tracks is that have midi sound tracks accompanying a book is probably not the best way to go even though it may seem like the easiest method of producing something. Isn’t this suppose to be some sort of community? Hmmm…. Never seen so many haters on a forum before. It’s interesting how many ‘experts’ are on this site and how quick so many people are to bad mouth something, especially when they even haven’t seen it. You know the old saying “if you don’t have anything good to say…”. My advice to anyone who really wants to critique it is to buy the book. Well I’m not sure about the claims of the book but I think it’s pretty funny/ridiculous of all the bad rap it gets from people that havent seen the book.

This is the worst breach LastPass has had. I worked at LastPass as an engineer a long time ago. By a lot,” a former LastPass engineer warned. My 2 cents on the situation. This is the worst breach LastPass has had. “I worked at LastPass as an engineer a long time ago. But LastPass didn’t say how recent the stolen backups are.Ī former LastPass engineer even took to social media to warn about the recent breach. The unencrypted data, which includes website URLs, as well as fully-encrypted sensitive fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data. In an updated blog post, Toubba said the threat actors took a copy of a backup of customer vault data from the encrypted storage container which is stored in a “proprietary binary format” that contains both unencrypted data by using cloud storage keys stolen from a LastPass employee. “To date, we have determined that once the cloud storage access key and dual storage container decryption keys were obtained, the threat actor copied information from backup that contained basic customer account information and related metadata including company names, end-user names, billing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and the IP addresses from which customers were accessing the LastPass service.” LastPass that the data breach took place earlier this year. In an announcement today, LastPass CEO Karim Toubba confirmed that cybercriminals stole its customers’ encrypted password vaults, which store its customers’ passwords and other related metadata including company names, end-user names, billing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and IP addresses. LastPass, the startup that’s supposed to users’ passwords safe, confirmed today that hackers stole its customers’ encrypted password vaults. The announcemet comes the same day Comcast Xfinity reported that users’ accounts were hacked in widespread 2FA bypass attacks. I'm sure there are some programs or script to automate this (at least the "start minimized" flag).“Stop using LastPass as your password manager. Move to any other one, and please change any passwords you have on there now,” that was a dire warning from the Director of Engineering at SpotAi. But I wasn't able to get it to minimize my firefox or notepad while on windows 10. I'm sure there are a lot of examples on the respective forums.Īlso nircmd's documentation says it does support minimizing windows by process like this: nircmd win min process firefox.exe. If everything failed until now, you may want to try a more drastic and unelegant solution: use a (gratis) scripting tool like AutoIt or AutoHotKey to launch the program, wait for the main window to show and then minimize it using their functions. Often such options are not directly available to the user, as they may have been implemented as command line parameters. If the developer was wise or the program is mature enough, you will probably find an option within the application itself, that minimizes it on start. Strangely enough, Windows 10 Calculator is implemented as a "modern" App, so other than having an increased startup time because of this (FFS, a calculator has to load fast!) it will ignore the minimization setting. These programs will probably ignore the above settings. Software built with customized GUI/frameworks/Technologies If that is not the case you can try the other methods below. If the laucher is not really important (maybe if updates can be checked also by the program itself) you could directly set the actual program's executable file as the startup entry for that program. As a consequence only the launcher would be minimized if you set it to run minimized, leaving the program with a normal window. For example this is the case of Chromium-based browser (such as Goggle Chrome, Opera, etc), where the launcher checks for updates, installs them and runs the most recent version afterwards. This is to allow tasks to be executed just before running the actual application. Instead an intermediate program, a launcher, is set as the target of shortcuts. If your program is not executed by means of the startup folder in the start menu, you can still replicate the above "start minimized" setting by substituting the file path ( C:\myprogram.exe) with something like this: CMD.EXE /c start /min "" "C:\Windows\notepad.exe" Standard software with external launchers Change the value of Run on the tab Shortcut to Minimized. Right click the icon of the programs in the startup folder, choose Properties. Standard Win32 software and no intermediate launcher It's a matter of if your programs respect that. Windows already has this functionality (more or less) It's a great recipe for using up a glut of oily fish, and it's perfect for a large group of fish diners. While this involves cooking the fish, the final dish itself is served at room temperature. When I find myself looking for something a little different to do with oily fish, such as mackerel, herring or garfish, and I have a little bit of time on my hands, I'll plump for the hot marinade option. But my own preference is for a just-marinated fresh, zingy, crunchy experience. It's actually perfectly safe to keep your marinated fish in the fridge and eat it the next day, when you'll find the texture much softer and less ‘raw'. Over the years, my marinade time has got shorter and shorter, and quite often now I'll just prepare it and eat it straight away - especially if I've made it with some eye-wateringly fresh bass or black bream, because I can't keep my hands off it. When I first started making ceviche, I would leave it for an hour at least. You can vary the amount of time you allow the fish to marinate before you eat it. Ceviche is often made with a mixture of fish species but it's equally good with just one type. But really oily fish like mackerel, while they can make an interesting addition, don't tend to work as a main ingredient. I'd certainly consider using salmon or trout too. If you find totally raw Japanese-style fish preparation just too alien, but like the idea of eating fish in its natural state, ceviche is definitely worth a try.įirm, white-fleshed fish, such as black bream, bass, pouting, whiting and pollack, work best. As the acid is absorbed, the translucent flesh becomes opaque and milky (just as it does when you heat it).Ĭeviche celebrates the natural textures and flavours of good fresh fish, without being quite as hardcore an experience as eating sashimi or sushi. When you immerse fish flesh in these juices, there's an almost immediate visible chemical reaction. It relies, instead, on the chemical properties of citric acids which in the case of ceviche means a delicious marinade of lemon, lime and orange juices. However, I nearly always include some citrus juice in a cold marinade and, as soon as I do that, I am entering the exciting realms of ‘ceviche'.Ĭeviche is a way of ‘cooking' fish, but without heat. Secondly, they're just begging to be tweaked and tinkered with, depending on the ingredients you have to hand.Ĭold marinating can be as simple as tossing chopped or sliced super-fresh raw fish with a few aromatic flavourings and herbs - maybe olive oil, Tabasco, parsley, chopped red onion - and serving it up as a kind of fish ‘tartare'. They share two particularly attractive characteristics: first, they can be excellent make-ahead dishes, which don't rely on split-second timing. There are a couple of classic dishes, both South American in origin, which make the most of these techniques and I frequently turn out a version of one or both of them at home. Alternatively, you can bathe cooked fish in a hot marinade to get a quite different result - usually best with oily fish. You can do it with raw fish, using a cold marinade - a technique that generally works best with white fish. Ideal for pubs, bistros and hotels.Marinating is an incredibly simple way to add flavour to fish. A great menu addition to your fish line up. In this recipe we use Pacific West’s Spanish mackerel fillets. Soy sauce, mirin, sugar and sake make a great marinade and give a glazed appearance to the finished dish. Our Japanese-style marinade is not too acidic‚Äîit’s the acid from citrus juices or vinegar that can “pickle” fish in minutes. In fact, marinating these oily fish for a longer time makes them taste better. Most freshwater and ocean fish can be marinated for only 30 minutes at most‚Äîor they turn opaque and are essentially “cooked” The exception, though, is strong-flavoured, oily fish like salmon and mackerel. Our Japanese-style grilled fish can be marinated overnight so the dish can be completed in minutes. One scene had a jaunty and very loud orchestral accompaniment that cut across it, while the murder story episode has just a few spooky chords played on synth which are designed to build tension. Oh my god have you found a light bulb?!?! Also, why do Poe and Munro have a massive mixing desk in their radio studio when they control everything with an iPad? I can only assume the head teacher has a pile of red pillows heaped up against a window to block something outside that the production crew didn’t want us to see – normal people do not store pillows on a desk and they would clearly be in the way if the teacher was actually working. It feels that the live action has been produced on low budget, with only a handful of locations used. The lighting is presumably meant to be atmospheric, as no-one seems to have a light bulb in the normal socket in the ceiling and has instead strewn lamps across the floor or off to the side of the camera, leaving everyone’s face half in darkness. Episode four is quite effective, consisting of a series of vignettes with a different actor telling a murder story, but then things turn very odd again with time travelling werewolves, haunted paintings, and our duo go full Once More With Feeling and have a short duet. While the semblance of a coherent plot does emerge, the first two episodes are just odd. There are no repercussions for events from previous episodes, the next episodes rolls in and everyone has forgotten about death threats, murderers and killer bunnies. I say, would you happen to have a lightbulb? It takes until Episode 3 before the real investigation begins and our two heroes head to school where an eccentric headteacher exclaims “I am eccentric!” and that’s followed by dialogue that made my testicles retract in to my body including the line “I am very happy to be woman lead.” It’s quite clearly meant to be pretty hammy, but by this point my eyebrows were reaching round the back of my head. Poe decides the best way to convince his wife that he’s not having a fandango with his co-host is to spend the next episode with the pair of them in bed for twenty-four hours and live stream the whole event. Meanwhile, a sub plot reveals Poe and Munro are boffing and Poe’s wife has found out about his infidelity. As any completely normal person would do, they decide to solve the mystery themselves and do not call the police at any point. The mysterious fiend calls up their radio show and slips notes under the door with subtle messages like “I am going to kill you”. Poe And Munro, our two leads, host a radio show in the town of August and for unknown reasons, someone is trying to kill them in the first episode.

Still, Toast only lets you trim movies, not combine multiple clips and insert transitions the way iMovie does, making it less useful for many people.Īt the same time, you can now create custom video profiles, tweaked from one of the built-in presets. Using the High quality setting, the movie was almost identical in quality and file size to the same movie exported from iMovie. While the process wasn’t as smooth as using iMovie-for example, the Title field was blank even though I’d already given my video a name in Toast-it did take me directly to the video page on Vimeo when it was finished uploading (a nice touch). You can also have Toast publish directly to online services and even tweet the link to the video-I added a 720p video shot with my iPhone into Toast under the Convert heading, and uploaded it directly to my Vimeo account. Toast 11 expands its video format support, adding presets for the iPhone 4, Android phones, Windows Media Video, DivX Plus HD, and MKV, as well as Internet-specific presets for YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and F4V Flash video. With Toast 11, I haven’t seen any such problems and have been burning data DVDs for weeks with only the rare failure along the way. You might even notice that Toast icon now has a disc and an iPhone coming out the toaster rather than two discs-a nod to the waning importance of physical media for many users these days.īut speaking of physical media, I still burn data DVD backups (mostly of concerts in lossless audio formats as archives) and with Toast 10, it took until the last version-10.0.8-before I could reliably burn those DVDs without every third one failing during the writing process. And you can now view the Media Browser as a separate floating palette (as before) or integrated into the main UI. You can choose a burner and its settings, as well as the number of copies you want to burn, directly from the main window. The big red button in the lower right corner has a black ring around it and is labeled with the word Burn, Copy, or Convert (depending on the type of project you’ve created) instead of, well, just being a big red button. The Assistant window can show you common projects for a category, or all the available options.Īnd there are other small but useful changes. There’s also a new Assistant window that can show you common projects for each category, along with descriptions and big icons, or an Advanced view that lists all the available options. What that means is no more logins and downloading huge disc images to make sure your apps are up to date. Sparkle update-checking and -installing framework (and those that don’t have options to help you find updates as well). Toast and many of the included apps now take advantage of the With Toast 11, that pain is a thing of the past. I’ve always found this process to be annoying and needlessly complicated. With previous versions, any time there was an update to Toast and/or its bundled apps, you’d have to log into the Roxio site, download a disc image with the entire suite of apps (even if nothing changed in the majority of them), and then replace your Toast folder with the updated folder. Toast’s Software Update window shows you what’s new and lets you updates without downloading huge disc images. While not a big deal in itself, it does signal an important change to the way Roxio handles the various apps in the Toast package. Rather than a folder you drag to your Applications folder, there’s now an installer. The first change longterm users of the software will notice takes place very early on. In re-creating the Ardennes battle, the author has penetrated "the fog of war" as well as any historian can hope to do. Two other volumes in this subseries, The Supreme Command and Logistical Support of the Armies, Volume II, are useful supplements to the Ardennes volume. Events after it will be related in The Last Offensive, now in preparation. Cole's own earlier work, The Lorraine Campaign. The hard fighting that preceded the Battle of the Bulge has been recounted in two volumes, The Siegfried Line Campaign, and Dr. Vith and a dozen lesser known but important and decisive battlefields While Bastogne has become the symbol of this obstinate, gallant, and successful defense, this work appropriately emphasizes the crucial significance of early American success in containing the attack by holding firmly on its northern and southern shoulders and by upsetting the enemy timetable at St. In less than a fortnight the enemy was stopped and the Americans were preparing to resume the offensive. It is the story of squads, platoons, companies, and even conglomerate scratch groups that fought with courage, with fortitude, with sheer obstinacy, often without information or communications or the knowledge of the whereabouts of friends. But most of all it is the story of the American fighting man and the manner in which he fought a myriad of small defensive battles until the torrent of the German attack was slowed and diverted, its force dissipated and finally spent. It is the story of how the high command, American and British, reacted to defeat the German plan once the reality of a German offensive was accepted. This is the story of how the Germans planned and executed their offensive. Then, unbelievably, and under the goad of Hitler's fanaticism, the German Army launched its powerful counteroffensive in the Ardennes in December 1944 with the design of knifing through the Allied armies and forcing a negotiated peace The mettle of the American soldier was tested in the fires of adversity and the quality of his response earned for him the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with his forebears of Valley Forge, Fredericksburg, and the Marne. All illustrations are from Department of Defense files, with the exception of the photograph on page 76 (General Dietrich) reproduced through the courtesy of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the one on page 174 (General von Luettwitz), taken from captured German records in the National Archives.ĭuring most of the eleven months between D-day and V-E day in Europe, the U S Army was carrying on highly successful offensive operations As a consequence, the American soldier was buoyed with success, imbued with the idea that his enemy could not strike him a really heavy counterblow, and sustained by the conviction that the war was nearly won. |
