The house looks normal enough. But Pocono Mountain Regional Police say that the man who lived in that home, Luis Vasquez, 28, shot to death two men in Tobyhanna last month and also smashed one of the victim's heads in with a rock.
The house looks normal enough.
A blue-paneled, bi-level home on a sleepy, tree-lined street in Pocono Summit.
But Pocono Mountain Regional Police say that the man who lived in that home, Luis Vasquez, 28, shot to death two men in Tobyhanna last month and also smashed one of the victim's heads in with a rock.
On Friday, Vasquez's neighbors said that it unnerved them to think that they live right next door to a man who seemed relatively normal but may have committed an extraordinarily violent crime.
"It's shocking to think that someone who might have done that lives across the street. This is the kind of block where we watch each other's houses," said Jean Scicutella, who lives on the same street as Vasquez, Thunder Drive, which is tucked inside Stillwater Lake Estates, a leafy residential community with two lakes.
Police say that on the night of Aug. 16, Vasquez, who worked at United Envelope, a factory in Mount Pocono, murdered his co-workers, Bertoldo Velez, 55, and Joseph King, 38, near a field in Coolbaugh Township Park, off Route 423. Velez loaned people money as a side job and King was his bodyguard, police said. Vasquez owed Velez a large sum of cash and Velez had recently threatened Vasquez over the money.
Police say that at around 8 p.m., the two men were waiting in a car for Vasquez, who allegedly said he wanted to pay down some of the money he owed. Police allege that when Vasquez showed up, he instead shot the men multiple times with a .45-caliber gun and smashed Velez's head with a large rock.
Police recently found a weapon and bloody clothes with the dead men's DNA as well as Vasquez's DNA in a bag about 100 yards from Vasquez's home, in a wooded area, a fact that some neighbors found unsettling.
"When you have children, and you live next door to people who are involved with this kind of stuff, it really makes you worry. What if people come to retaliate against (Vasquez) and they wind up shooting up my house instead?" said a resident who didn't want to be identified.
The neighbor said that Vasquez never said "hi" to him and seemed not to associate with other people in the neighborhood. Vasquez, who doesn't have a major criminal rap sheet according to a criminal background search, has a wife and several people living in the house with him. On Friday, several people came and went from that home.
Kathy Sadler, who lives in a ranch home with "Bring Our Troops Home" signs in her front yard, said that she found the whole situation "eerie" and she said the news just adds to her stress.
"I have a son who's fighting in Afghanistan at the moment. So learning about this across the street is the last thing I need," Sadler said.
Over at United Envelope, which is located less than a mile from Vasquez's home, employees said they couldn't comment on the matter and a manager came out to the parking lot to say, "The company has no statement."
Back at the house on Thunder Drive, Kyle Snare, 17, who lives next door to Vasquez, said that he was shocked to hear about the news. He said he saw Vasquez sitting on the steps of his home and that he seemed normal. Asked if he felt the neighborhood was safe, he said, "Yeah, but things do go on. There are certain areas I won't go."
Down the road, toward the area that he said he wouldn't go, two deer crossed from one yard to the next.

CRESTVIEW � Wanda Sue Thompson is $1,655 closer to a healthy liver.
CRESTVIEW � Wanda Sue Thompson is $1,655 closer to a healthy liver.
Friends, family and Full Gospel Tabernacle Church members helped raise money for the 58-year-old with a chicken-and-dumplings dinner and bake sale on Friday.
"It went above and beyond our expectations," Janet Lundy, Thompson's sister, said.
The church kitchen was busy with volunteers preparing plates with a side of green beans and a piece of cake for dessert.
It�s a familiar scene for the church�s membership, which enjoys hearty feasts � especially when they help others.
"We are a church that loves to cook and eat," said Jean Marie Belle, one of 10 volunteers. "It�s for a good cause and we are glad to do it."
Waiting for a liver
Thompson is on a waiting list for a liver following a primary biliary cirrhosis diagnosis in 2009. The disease causes irritation and swelling of the liver�s bile ducts, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Bile, a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, aids digestion of fatty acids.
"The liver starts to attack itself and they don't know why,� she said of the condition, which often affects middle-aged women.
"There is no help or cure for it," Lundy said. "The only alternative is a transplant."
More than half of patients reportedly lack symptoms upon diagnosis, but Thompson has begun to feel the effects.
"I feel okay, but I get tired very easily," she said, adding she has bouts of itching, a common side effect.
Other symptoms can include abdominal pain and jaundice.
Later this month, Thompson will make her fourth trip to Jackson Memorial Hospital to meet with doctors. It�s the closest medical facility that can assist her.
Once a liver is available, Thompson must immediately fly back to Miami for the procedure. An air ambulance will transport her and one family member within four or five hours from receiving notice.
Helping family
Lundy has organized three fundraisers since Thompson�s diagnosis. Prior to Friday�s event, $2,000 from a prior dinner and yard sale offset medical costs along with food and gas expenses. The pair�s brother, who lives in Miami, provides lodging.
Every bit helps for someone with a fixed income.
Thompson, a former registered nurse, recently started receiving disability checks, but they pay very little, she said.
The sisters hope to escalate fundraising efforts in preparation for post-operation costs such as a required month's stay and meals at the hospital, along with surgeons� check-ups.
"So far, we are just making enough to cover each trip," Thompson said. "We would like to do something on a bigger scale."
The women seek fundraising suggestions from the community.
In the meantime, the church will continue accepting donations for Thompson, said Lundy, who�s planning another fundraiser for the near future.
"She has been my lifesaver during all of this," Thompson said.

Formerly an icon of luxury, the walk-in wardrobe heralds visions of the chic homes of fashion designers and stylists. Yet with the abundance of flexible modern-day options, these extra-large closets no longer belong exclusively in plush mansions.
Interior design: walk in closet
Formerly an icon of luxury, the walk-in wardrobe heralds visions of the chic homes of fashion designers and stylists. Yet with the abundance of flexible modern-day options, these extra-large closets no longer belong exclusively in plush mansions.
Our clothes are often stored haphazardly. Bulky winter items are bundled into the attic, spare shoes take residence under the bed and we have no end of drawers, vacuum bags and boxes. A walk-in closet puts paid to all of this, improving home organisation and forming a functional living space.
Create the ideal walk-in wardrobe in your house or apartment, no matter how small or large the property, with these tips.
Consider size and shape
There's no need for your wardrobe to take up an entire double bedroom. Choose an appropriate area of your home and section it off with curtains that blend in seamlessly with your decor, or commission a wall to be erected. Have an open archway or a glass front installed to create the illusion of a larger space.
You'll also need to consider the shape of your new walk-in closet. Traditionally, these wardrobes are U-shaped, L-shaped and straight, with the latter being the easiest to slot into an existing home.
Maximise space
Extend upwards with storage, using the entirety of the available walls, or keep things tucked away neatly in drawers and a closet organiser. Use any negative space as a dressing area. If you have enough room, furnish it with an extravagant vanity and mirror for an upscale feel.
Decorate it
Experiment with design. There are no set rules for a walk-wardrobe, but as it's your space, it should reflect your style. We tend to associate modern closets with a sleek, minimalist design, but a multihued or vintage aesthetic also works well.
Play with display
If you own treasured or designer clothing, walk-in closet systems are the perfect place to display them. Glass-fronted storage is ideal for turning your favourite Chanel handbag or pair of Christian Louboutin heels into focal decorative pieces.
Light it up
Brighten up a dark or dingy walk-in closet and create an inspirational area in the process. Choose pale colours and install recessed lighting in walls and ceilings to enhance the idea of space.
Alternatively, opt for a masculine decor featuring dark wood set off with innovative lighting and glass features for a contemporary effect. Mirrors should also be a key component to reflect light as well as to check how your chosen outfit looks before leaving your home.
Our expert advisors at Engel & Völkers are on hand to introduce you to properties featuring innovative built-in storage, including walk-in wardrobes. For additional interior design inspiration and tips on maximising space, browse the Engel & Völkers website.

IT'S 21 years since Betty Gilchrist was told her husband Ossie would not be coming home.
The 60 year-old, from Magherafelt, says she would not wish those 21 years on anyone.
"I would say that it has actually gotten worse as I have gotten older," she told the MAIL.
"I see couples who are growing old together, going on holidays, enjoying retirement, doing the things that married couples are supposed to be doing as they get older. I was robbed of that."
"Ossie would have been retiring last July, he would have got his pension then. No-one is ever going to get that back for me."
Oswald, 44, was murdered along with seven of his work colleagues as he travelled home from repairing Lisanelly army base in Omagh on January 17th 1992. Six others were seriously injured in the attack.
He died on January 21st, days after the IRA land mine detonated as work van approached Teebane crossroads between Omagh and Cookstown.
He had been driving the van home, packed with 13 of his fellow work colleagues, from the army base which they had been repairing, when he received fatal injuries from the explosion.
Although the Provisional IRA claimed responsibility for the murders no-one has been convicted for the atrocity.
The heartbroken widow says she has lost hope for anyone being convicted for the massacre.
"I honestly don't think anyone will ever be convicted," she said.
"They have the fingerprints, the low copy DNA. You would think that would be enough to convict someone."
"I can't see what else can be done."
Betty said that even a new investigation into the County Tyrone atrocity would bring little comfort to those families who are still suffering, like her, today.
"The only thing a new investigation would do us raise up hopes for the families, raising you up to let you down again," she said.
"And I can't take that any longer."

"We actually use 20 percent of what we own 80 percent of the time,"
I have spent the last week focusing on PURGING!! I have been using many websites and strategies to help me, but when it comes down to it, I have come to understand that
I just need to RID my home of STUFF.
As I have shifted my ways from "save it" to "toss it" (with using a straight head in knowing what is junk and what is memorabilia) I have made headway every day...
I have implemented organizational tools and stations and worked hard going from room to room, cabinet to cabinet, drawer to drawer, floor space to floor space - purging and organizing. In the last two years that I made the shift and the CHOICE to change our living space, I have accomplished SO much. I have to admit, it is very encouraging to look around and see the difference my hard work has made. Two years is a long time, I know, but with the amount of stuff, and the little time I have to commit towards this goal, I am quite pleased. I used to sit around my home and desire it to be different. I desired it to be clean, organized and... well, perfect. While perfection is basically unattainable, I am happy with (almost) perfect - and I am proud to say that it's on it's way :).
Here are some inspirational images that grow my desire towards an (almost) perfectly organized and clean home. :)
Here's to Organization!

In this tutorial from Matthew Leverton, there's information on adding a step several phpBB users could benefit from - putting a CAPTCHA image on the comment form to reduce spam issues.
phpBB is "an open source, flat style, message board written in PHP." Because thousands of people use it with little or no modifications, it is a very popular target for spammers. They can use bots to automatically fill out the registration forms, including "clicking" on the activation link inside e-mails. A CAPTCHA is some sort of challenge that will (in theory) be easy for a human to solve, but hard for a computer to. Typically, they are implemented as a distorted word that the user must enter to complete the form.
He walks the reader through each step of the way, giving shell commands and configuration changes where appropriate. The addition makes use of the freecap CAPTCHA script, making it a simple process of including the library in and adding a few lines to the comment form code inside phpBB.

It shows Netflix rental patterns by zipcode in twelve great American cities, plus Dallas. Shown above is the popularity of Gus Van Sant's Milk in New York City. They've got maps for the current top 50 rentals for every zip code in all 13 cities, which is kind of nuts.
A few patterns tend to recur. In particular (based on my limited knowledge of the geography of these cities, especially NYC, which I know best) a lot of titles seem to fit into one of three categories:
Movies that are popular in wealthy urban areas: the yuppie and hipster neighborhoods. Includes Burn After Reading, The Wrestler, Milk (they're not big fans in surburban Atlanta), Revolutionary Road (but suburbs, too), Rachel Getting Married, Pineapple Express, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, W., Sunshine Cleaning, Religulous, Man on Wire, and Mad Men: Season 1.
Movies that are popular in poorer or working class urban areas . Includes Seven Pounds, Twilight, Body of Lies, Eagle Eye, The Soloist, Wanted, Pride and Glory, Push, Obsessed, Transporter 3 (never heard of this franchise), The Taking of Pelham 123 (only 31st most popular in Pelham), and RocknRolla.
Movies that are popular in suburbs. Includes Gran Torino, The Proposal, Mall Cop, Taken (never heard of it), Defiance, Nights in Rodanthe (city people hate it!), Yes Man, Marley and Me, Last Chance Harvey, Australia, and Bride Wars.
Lots of movies don't fit any of those patterns, of course, including I Love You, Man, The Dark Knight, and Watchmen. New in Town is just hugely popular in Minneapolis and nowhere else. And The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is inexplicably popular pretty much everywhere.
27 comments:
Pelham 123 wasn't about Pelham, it was about a train hijacked in Manhattan with that moniker, derived from the train's terminal - Pelham Bay Park - which is a part of the Bronx that is close to, but not part of, the town of Pelham.

Wow, guess you don't watch sports (or other media geared towards guys). I didn't recognize most of the titles listed, but it's been impossible to miss ads for the various Transporter movies over the past few years.

Looks like you can differentiate by class as well: "Frost/Nixon" has appeal in rich areas both urban and suburban while "Transformers" is definitely a working class flick (both urban and suburban). Meanwhile, no one cares for the latest Bond film, but where they do, it's in middle class suburbs (maybe everyone saw it in theatres).
"New in Town" is set in Minnesota, so that probably explain the Twin Cities appeal.

By wearing exquisite and highly individualistic Hardy clothing clothes, you can effectively define your own unique fashion style. ED Hardy Shoes clothing came about as a result of partnership between two artistic moguls: the visual artist hardy shirt and the fashion artist Christian Audigier. The ultra modern and highly stylistic tattoo designs of hardy shirt were incorporated into the excellent casual clothing of Christian Audigier.
The black sooth Breitling Watches is perfectly set off by the black PVD bezel. The dial Chrono Superocean showcases two negative LCB screens, Superocean displaying a second time zone, alarm, countdown timer and perpetual calendar. A NVG-compatible display back lighting system of Chronomat B01 is incorporated to guarantee clear night reading. One thing deserves respect is that the chronograph function on the watch can measures 1/100 of a second.
The whole world is talking about the smashing shoes that Christian Louboutin has out every season. The coming together of women and these shoes is as though Christian Louboutin Pumps had been ordained by the gods above. These Christian Louboutin Boots are made so very conscientiously and splendidly, that one wonders if one would ever be able to find another Christian Louboutin Sandals that would ever be in a position to match up with the perfect nature of the shoes.

New North Central WA Fire Threatens Historical Building
OMAK, Wash. (AP) — Fire officials say a new wind-driven wildfire is threatening the historic St. Mary's Mission and school near Omak in north-central Washington. Ike Cawston of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation tells The Wenatchee World that the fire has burned across at least 500 acres — or nearly a square mile — of sagebrush and grass since it was reported late yesterday afternoon. Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers estimates winds in the area have been as strong as 40 mph.

Hassett sparks Weston football over Pomperaug
SOUTHBURY -- Trailing Pomperaug by a point with 4:48 left on the clock, Weston head coach Joe Lato didn't want to let his team's bid for history to depend on a single kick.
With the Trojans' regular kicker, Zach Cannon, out the entire night with a shoulder injury, Lato let the team's fate rest in the hands of quarterback Tyler Hassett on a gutsy two-point conversion call.
Hassett, who seconds earlier connected with wide receiver Thomas McGlone for an 11-yard touchdown, rolled out of the pocket and saw his favorite target, Justin Schaffer standing alone in the end zone on the conversion attempt.
Hassett lightly tossed the ball to Schaffer and the senior wide receiver corralled it, lifting Weston to a dramatic 22-21 win over Pomperaug on Friday evening.
"Coach said on the kickoff, `We're going to get it, score and go for two and get out of here. That's what we did," Hassett said.
After Pomperaug (0-3) took the lead with 7:11 left on fullback John Yule's 7-yard burst into the end zone, Hassett helped set up Weston's game-winning seven-play drive by returning the kick to the Panthers' 46. Hassett went 3-for-4 on the drive and finished the evening 10-of-14 for 131 yards and two scores. He added 89 yards on the ground.
"I was just so proud of our kids," said Lato, who said it was Weston's first win over Pomperaug since 1990. "We were up against it and we were missing some key people, we had a short week. We didn't make excuses. We just said, `We're going to find a way' and the kids did.
"This is really sweet because Pomperaug is a storied program."
"It was probably the biggest (win) in our history," Hassett added.
Weston (3-0) put Pomperaug into an early hole as Hassett--also a starting defensive back--intercepted a pass in the first quarter, and then directed a 74-yard scoring drive. His 14-yard quarterback draw put the Trojans ahead 6-0 just 48 seconds into the second quarter.
The next drive, after a Pomperaug three-and-out, Hassett connected with tight end Erik Dammen-Brower on a 7-yard pass to make it 14-0.
"Like I've said for the past three weeks, we don't have an offense that can wow anybody. We can't be down 14-0," Pomperaug head coach Dave Roach said. "At the same time, we talked about at halftime about the kids coming out and making plays."
Pomperaug, which was outscored 89-17 in its first two losses this year, took until the second half to find its rhythm on offense. The Panthers, who missed two field goal attempts in the first half, got on the board in the third on Wade Prajer's 20-yard strike to wide receiver Steven Croce.
Running back Dylan McAllister added an 11-yard touchdown run with 10:13 left to tie it 14-14, capping the third of four straight drives in which Pomperaug opened in Weston territory.
Although Pomperaug eventually took the lead, it wasn't long before Weston grabbed it right back.
"I don't know what was going on, but they definitely were taking it to us," Lato said. "We were desperate to get the momentum back and Tyler did that for us."

122. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.RjL190365 Feb 23, 2012 8:59 AM (in response to tomglen)
Nope. Remember, Harm stated "No GREEN disks at all"! This means that the Green drive should not even be inside your PC's case at all - but instead put into an external enclosure with eSATA and/or USB 3.0 capability. Here are three reasons why:
1) Their much slower than minimum spindle speed: The WD Green drives spin at a very slow 5400 RPM (as I noted in a previous post).
2) Most Green drives also have relatively slow random access speed - as much as 22ms instead of the 15ms of the average 7200 RPM hard drive.
3) Many Green drives (and all of the Western Digital Caviar Green drives) spin themselves down after a firmware-set period and cannot be overridden or disabled at all whatsoever! That means that the drives will simply ignore any software- or Windows-set spin-down times unless those times are less than the firmware-set time. In other words, if you have Windows to never power down any drives, the Green drives will power themselves down anyway. And every spin-down and spin-up can (and does) cause crashes in Premiere Pro, especially in the middle of a long encode.
However, points 1) and 2) are not as critical as point 3). The constant spinning down and spinning up of the Green drives will destabilize an editing system that expects every single installed drive to perform at its maximum speed and performance at all times.
This is the basis for my (and Harm's) assessment of Green drives in an editing system.
123. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.claris38 Mar 14, 2012 2:57 AM (in response to RjL190365)
I was reluctant to ask this as there have been so many similar threads – but as always your own case is slightly different and I cannot find an answer to my specific question or the threads are a couple of years old. I've read so many threads that I'm now more than a bit addled (well, I am blonde).
So – I've just ordered Production Premium and it is for non-critical / non-commercial / non-urgent stuff ie no demands or pressures. I would primarily be working with EOS5d MKII stills and videos and expect Premiere and Encore to be used most to create both DVD and blu ray.
Cannot remember all my PC specs but non HDD key items are i7 @ 2.7gGHz; 6GB RAM; Win 7 64 bit; Radeon HD5700 graphics; Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R mobo (sata 2).
Okay; as for hard disks, currently installed I've a
- Corsair CSSD-F120GB3-BK Force Series 3 120GB SSD – fast but not reaching the spec speeds as a sata 2 mobo! Plenty of space (80+GB free)
Samsung HD103UJ 1TB; spec says 7200rpm. Pagefile currently on this drive.
Maxtor 6V300F0 300GB; few years old but Googled spec says 7200rpm.
Available to me are 2 x Western Digital Caviar 2TB SATAII 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Green; 2 more of the Maxtor 6V300F0; a Samsung 64GB MLC SSD (was my C drive – too small so replaced by the Corsair); 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB sata 150 HDD (7200rpm I think).
I've read the 'Guidelines for Disk Usage' and the Adobe spec requirements but would still appreciate any help as there seems to be umpteen possible configurations. My main question is with the WD 2TB drives – this very informative thread states No GREEN disks at all. Considering my 'non-serious' editing - if I could use will their 5400rpm simply impede performance or is it more severe than that and they will effectively not work at all. I do not really want to buy any more HDD's but strong advice otherwise would mean that I will. Would installing any sort of RAID be pointless in my case.
Apologies if this all sounds a bit lame – I've only modest PC experience and wanted to ask even if I do generate some groans amongst the forum regulars. Much of the excellent help here is quite rightly geared towards professional video production and I'm not sure about the relevance for a hobbyist like myself.
Many thanks.
124. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.RjL190365 Mar 14, 2012 8:20 AM (in response to claris38)
I'd recommend going with mostly new hard drives in that system if you're going to be doing anything at all whatsoever with DSLR video. You see, the Maxtor drives that are in your possession are now extremely old - so old that two of them in RAID 0 ("aid0") are still slower than just one of last year's 7200 RPM hard drives. Those old drives could not achieve even 70 MB/s in sequential transfer speed on the outer tracks (because those old Maxtors used a platter layout of only 100GB per platter, resulting in the three-platter design of your old 250GB and 300GB disks) while current hard drives can reach nearly 190 MB/s on the outer tracks (and even the fastest of the two-year-old drives can reach 140 MB/s). In your inventory the fastest drive in your system is currently the 1TB Samsung F1 (note the model number HD103UJ), which uses a three-platter design to achieve its 1TB capacity. That drive can reach about 120 MB/s on the outer tracks. The 2TB WD Green is actually slower than the 1TB Samsung F1 in sequential transfer speed despite the denser platters of the Green because that Green spins at only 5400 RPM (as I noted in my previous post in this thread).
Thus, I am amending "No green drives" to also include "No hard drives more than three years old regardless of spindle speed". In other words, drives that are suitable in an editing system must not only spin at 7200 RPM or higher, but also have a platter layout density of at least 300GB per double-sided platter. Those old Maxtors fall far short of that 300 GB per platter minimum (they employ 100GB per platter at most).
125. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.Gf1317 Mar 14, 2012 8:20 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Are hard drives still recommended over ssd for scratch disks, or has that changed recently? With the elevated prices of hard drives, I'm wondering if I should be looking at a ssd drive instead? I'm thinking 500g in raid 0 ($400) vs a 240g sdd ($300)?
126. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.RjL190365 Mar 14, 2012 8:47 AM (in response to Gf1317)
First off, SSDs still aren't durable enough for long-term use for repeated writes and rewrites. You see, SSDs still have a limited number of rewrite cycles. At the rate the scratch disk is rewriting, you would have used up the SSD's entire life cycle in as little as just a few days! And the factory warranties do not cover such abusive wear and tear. Thus, in such a circumstance, you might have to pay as much as tens of thousands of dollars every week just to even replace those SSDs.
Second, NEVER RAID any SSD unless it's specifically designed for RAID! Raiding a consumer SSD will completely defeat the TRIM function and will not only degrade performance, but will also cause even more frequent failures. In the worst cases, a RAIDed SSD array will fail after only a few minutes of operation.
These are the reasons why hard drives are still better suited for those situations that require multiple repeated rewrites in such a short period of time despite the higher hard disk prices. But now, hard drive prices are now slowly beginning to fall: A month ago, the 1TB WD Black cost all of $250 plus shipping at Newegg. Now, it costs $140 plus shipping - still about $50 higher than the amount that same drive cost just six months ago.
127. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.claris38 Mar 14, 2012 12:54 PM (in response to RjL190365)
Hi RjL,
Thanks for the reply and your help. I had kind of assumed that many of the drives I listed were not up to the job. I am going to buy either 1 or 2 x 1TB drives although when looking it is not so easy to find info on data transfer rates even on the manufacturers sites. Anyway, it seems the WD Caviar Black is pretty much accepted - albeit with some negative comments on noise and heat - and so I think this is what I'll go for and probably get 2.
So, am I correct in thinking the SSD is okay and kept for OS / progs etc and - as per the 'Guidleines for Disk Usage' chart - use the 2 new WD drives along with my current Samsung ie 4 disks. If so, which of the three suggested use options (D,E or F on the chart) should the slower Samsung be allocated to.
Many thanks for your help.
ps if your screen name does happen to be 'open date coding', then happy birthday for next Monday ... smile.
128. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.JEShort01 Mar 14, 2012 7:23 PM (in response to claris38)
Sounds like you have a decent cpu, motherboard, and some drives to work with, and your video card is currently your weakest link.
Regarding the Greens, I would never suggest anyone buying new ones for a video rig, but with today's prices still pretty high I think that you should add the 2 2TB Greens in a RAID 0 configuration using two of the Intel SATA ports. Put your media and projects on the 1TB Samsung, completely ignore the older 300GB, and put media cache, media cach DB, all scratch files, and outputs (DVD etc) to the 2x2TB RAID array. You will need Win7 to use GPT since the array will be over 2TB before you format the RAID 0 array.
Also, if this setup is not fast enough for your media and your patience, my suggestions would be (in this order):
- add an nVidia GTX 570 video card and configure Premiere Pro 5 or 5.5 to use the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) capabilities
- get a good cooler and overclock to 3.7GHZ
- increase RAM to 12GB or 24GB (RAM is very cheap for X58 motherboards now)
- think about adding more 7200rpm drives
I serously doubt you will need anything past the first suggestion, and you may even be satisfied without putting in a MPE video card.
129. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.claris38 Mar 15, 2012 1:12 AM (in response to JEShort01)
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply and very helpful comments. I did not realise that the graphics card was a weak link - in my first post I called it a HD5700 althought the fuller model name is 'Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5' ... does this make any difference to your comments? If not then I will look at the GTX570.
I'm pretty sure I will be upgrading and your sequence looks great - especially as items 2 and 3 are not so expensive ... smile. I'm not sure if my current cooler qualifies as 'good' - it's a 'Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939/AM2/AM3/775/1155/1156/1366)'. I've never tried overclocking with it as no real need but any thoughts?
On the hard drives, I see your point about trying the 2x2TB drives and I've nothing to lose as they are here. If they test my patience then I can renew - I had not looked recently at hard disk prices and had a bit of a shock!!
Thanks again for your help.
130. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.JEShort01 Mar 15, 2012 7:52 AM (in response to claris38)
Your cooler is fine for some overclocking, your video card is probably a decent card for many applications, just not Adobe CS5/5.5.
For more information about MPE, check out:
And for more basic information for overclocking:
Finally, if you have other non hard drive questions, you should probably just start a new thread. This thread is already pretty long and focused on storage.

Hi Jim,
Thanks again for your help. Been reading loads and I'm sure there will be more questions - and understand about thread 'deflection'.
132. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.claris38 Mar 19, 2012 2:33 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Okay, after reflecting on the couple of replies which had fine advice and also reading many threads I've decided on a semi-upgrade - new GTX570 graphics, RAM to 12GB (only 3 slots on my mobo) and new 2 x HDD.
So, 3 questions
- any views on the Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB internal Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache 7200RPM ? These are ~ 78% of the cost of WD Caviar Black (£88 vs £112). Sometimes it's not made clear if a drive is 'green'. Many drives have phrases like energy efficient and so on and the Samsung site is useless for info. I'm thinking of getting two of these Samsung drives (unless advice otherwise).
- I already have a good 128GB SSD system drive and a 1TB Samsung HD103UJ. With the two new drives, I will follow the 4 disk option in the guidelines for disk usage chart. Does it matter which of the three uses (D or E or F) the older HD103UJ is used for or are these 3 drives so similar as to not matter ?
- I also have a spare Samsung 64GB MLC SSD. Is there any merit is installing this as well eg dedicated for the pagefile and/or other files handy to keep to one side.
Okay - a 4th question ... with the above disks are there any different configurations that make more sense ?
Just to clarify - my PP use is hobby-ist and so no delivery presures etc. Although nothing I do is critical, I do have a couple of 2TB 'green' drives that I will use for backups.
Many thanks,
133. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.Gf1317 Mar 19, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to claris38)
I just went with the 500gb Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ in raid 0. Which motherboard are you using? One problem I had with an Asus p6t is that after 6 drives it uses an IDE controller and the performance decreased.

135. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.claris38 Mar 19, 2012 10:08 PM (in response to Gf1317)
Hi and thanks for the replies.
Gf1317 - my mobo is Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R. I'm struggling to see the significant differences (capacity aside) between the F3 HD103SJ and the F3 HD502HJ that you mention. The Samsung site redirects to Seagate and the info is poor.
Bill Gehrke - the Seagate is around £100 with Amazon and so not too bad. I seem to remember reading that a certain generation of Seagate drives were to be avoided but the newer models are okay; is this correct.
Any thoughts on my other questions especially using my spare 64GB SSD for pagefile.
Many thanks.
136. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.JEShort01 Mar 20, 2012 5:39 AM (in response to claris38)
Avoid Seagate's ending in .11 (11th gen. are "possessed"!).
Regarding your 64GB SSD, suggest you not use it at all. It simply will not bring much to the party for video editing. You already have a fast SSD for your OS/programs and the write speeds are so poor for SSDs that it will likely underperform your larger, newer rotating drives.
If I had a spare 64GB SSD I think I would want to find a high performance USB 3.0 case for it and use it like a USB stick - on steriods!
137. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.Gf1317 Mar 20, 2012 7:58 AM (in response to JEShort01)
What about using it for project files where you don't have much writing going on? I've got two ssd in raid zero with 500mb/s read speeds.
138. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.JEShort01 Mar 20, 2012 10:19 AM (in response to Gf1317)
You can certainly try it. I played with a 5xSSD RAID 0 array that benchmarks a 1.5GB (1500MB/sec) read speed and it only worked OK for project files. I simply love SSDs for OS/programs and laptops, but for some reason - likely sustained write speed - they just don't seem to excel with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

If the preview files and cache are on a seperate drive, what writting would be involved with the media drive? (other than occasional saves of your project file). I understand the importance of having the cache on a non ssd drive, but I thought just having the media files on a ssd would be good?

Jim & Gf,
Many thanks for the responses and ideas. I now understand about not using SSD's where there is very frequent writing. A problem with my limited knowledge is I'm not too sure which categories (ie media, projects, pagefile etc etc) of materials are accessed / written to so often as to make them non-starters for SSD.
So, you are saying that project files and media are suitable candidates for the 'spare' SSD - what about the pagefile ?
Thanks for you help.
141. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.Gf1317 Mar 20, 2012 2:22 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Someone else will have to confirm that media files only get read from and your project file obviously only gets written to when you hit save. At least thats my understanding and why I dumped them on a ssd drive. Your pagefile, think of it as system memory that resides on a drive. Like memory it gets read/written constantly and would be better served by a platter drive, in raid configuration for best performance. With the drives I had laying around I settled on this for my system:
c: system -ssd
d: pagefile, cache and preview files - hdd raid 0
e: media files, project files- ssd raid 0
external nas in raid 5 with all my media files backed up. I accept the hours I put into the project file being lost if I loose a raid 0 ssd drive. I guess I could move that, but don't really know how a project file affects the performance of premiere. If HD were not so expensive now, maybe I would look into a four drive system, per previous recommendations.

How much sdd storage space is necessary for media cache files and previews files? I want a feedback, please.
at the moment I work with xavc Intra and long 1080*1920. In near future I will work with 4k xavc
The sequences is arround 1h.50 timeline duration
I thinking about
Kingston hyperx 3K 240GB for media cache files
Sandisk extreme pro 240GB for preview files and Export
what do you think ??? this space storage is enought??
all the best
143. Re: Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.ECBowen Mar 11, 2016 8:55 AM (in response to typefilms)
Ideally you want a 512GB SSD for the media cache and AE cache. A 256GB SSD will handle it but you will have to clear it more often and the smaller size will use the endurance rating quicker. I would suggest a Samsung 850 Pro either way.

Tonight it was all about Torah.
With the best women snowboarders in the world gathered to shred the 22-foot X Games pipe it proved to be one heavy competition.
Each of the six girls in the finals were blasting out of the pipe and putting down some of the most progressive pipe runs to date. Kelly Clark brought her trademark brand of "amplitude" (to borrow the announcer's terminology) and took silver. Hannah Teeter linked fives and sevens flawlessly and earned bronze.
But it was Torah, with her unmatched style and hecka-tech runs that got the gold.
Here's her run: Back three, switch back seven, McTwist, air-to-fakie, cab seven.
Dig that. The judges did.
In qualifiers that same run earned her a 97.66, which is the highest score any girl has ever earned at the X Games. One for the record books.
And really, the whole night was. These girls were going bigger than ever. Sometimes too big.
Gretchen Bleiler was looking good going into the second round of runs, but on her first hit she got a little too loose trying a front nine, landed on the lip, scorpioned into the transition and then scorp'd again into the flat bottom. She was down for a minute and motionless. Medics went running, she started to move, then stood up smiling.
The crowd erupted in cheers for the hometown hero, who was last year's gold medalist. But, Gretchen didn't make it back up for a third run and that left the door wide open for Clark, Teeter or Torah.
Teeter dropped and put together a solid run. She boosted and looked really stylish doing so. But when judgment was passed she was sitting in third. So it was Clark and Bright battling for gold. Clark dropped first, blasted a double-overhead frontside air, but "over-amped"(again, the announcer's jargon, not mine) on the second hit and slammed hard.
And that was it. Torah was sitting in first with her final run to go. She was slightly injured—has a shoulder that "just always seems to slip out of the socket,"—so she took a victory run and simply surfed that white wave to the podium. Six slashes later she was standing at the bottom of the pipe as this year's gold medalist.
1. Torah Bright: 91.33
2. Kelly Clark:88.33
3. Hannah Teeter: 83.00
4. Ellery Hollingsworth: 70.66
5. Kaitlyn Farrington: 66.00
6. Gretchen Bleiler: 40.00

Sept. 15, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Framingham State sophomore Roland Gervais hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from senior Eian Bain with 1:53 left in regulation to cap a late fourth-quarter rally as the Rams upended MIT, 17-10, Saturday, at Steinbrenner Stadium. After being kept at bay for most of the afternoon, Framingham State (1-1, 1-0) scored 14 points in the final five minutes to push past MIT (0-2, 0-1) in the New England Football Conference opener for both schools.
Saturday's home opener featured more defense than offense, although MIT wasted no time in lighting the board after rushing for 27 yards on its opening drive to set up a 20-yard field goal for sophomore Corey Garvey. Senior Joseph Goldschmid set the stage for the Engineers' first score of the afternoon after recovering a Framingham State fumble at the Rams' 30-yard line.
Framingham State responded with a field goal of its own mid-way through the second quarter. As the Engineers punted from deep in their own territory, a stiff wind enabled the Rams to take advantage of a short field. A 33-yard pass from Bain to James Hanafin put Ashley Baker in great position for the 25-yard try. Earlier in the drive, a potential Hanafin touchdown reception was negated after a penalty. Baker had a chance to put Framingham State in the lead just before the half, although two attempts from 23 yards both sailed right.
A great defensive effort by MIT, including a 10-yard sack by Brian Mickle, ignited the Engineers' lone touchdown drive in the third quarter. Showcasing a balanced attack, MIT picked up 33 yards on four carries by four different backs for the go-ahead score. Robert Utz authored the highlight of the drive with a 23-yard scamper through the middle of the defense, while Ben Grannan plowed three yards up the middle with 8:18 on the clock for the touchdown.
The Engineers protected their lead until mid-way through the final frame when the Rams responded to MIT's ground attack with a clock-eating possession of their own. Shawn Miller, who finished the afternoon with 89 yards on 27 carries, sparked the Framingham State offense, while Bain's push from one-yard out knotted the score at 10 with 4:44 left in the tilt.
On MIT's ensuing possession, the Rams got a huge defensive lift after Bruce Rich picked off a pass in the middle of the field on Tech's second play of the drive. Framingham State capitalized on the unfortunate turnover as Bain connected with Corey Steele for a 13-yard strike before finding Gervais on a slant for the game-winner.
MIT out-rushed Framingham, 184-177, although the Rams won the aerial battle with two quarterbacks commanding the play. Starter Patrick Franey finished 8-of-21 for 82 yards, while Bain closed 4-of-7 for 69 yards and a touchdown. Anthony Kewley paced the Rams' receiving unit with five catches for 41 yards. On the ground, Miller led the charge for Framingham, although Luke Guarino averaged over nine yards a carry en route to 84 yards.
Thomas Scotton rushed for 75 yards on 17 carries to captain MIT's ground game, although the Engineers looked comfortable with their other options in the back. Grannan picked up 39 yards on 10 carries and DeRon Brown had 35 yards on 10 carries in adding to the totals. Mike Fitzgerald and Kevin Vogelsang each hauled in three catches for a total of 60 yards to account for all of MIT's receiving production.

Team 93 are Out in Front at the Audi Melges 32 World Championship
23 September 2009
As published by Audi - B-Plan
Porto Cervo, Italy - Claudi Recchi's Team 93 (ITA) leads the overall classification after two races run on day one of the Audi Melges 32 World Championship. Recchi, whose team includes Olympic gold medalist (1984, Flying Dragon) and America's Cup (2000, 2007) sailor Jonathan Mc Kee (USA) on tactics, is followed in second place by Red (GBR), owned by Joe Woods. Pieter Taselaar's Bliksem (USA) sits in third.
Day one saw two races held in 12 to 13 knots of breeze from 60° which would remain constant throughout the day despite a menacing thunderstorm which formed south of the regatta course. Each of today's races were windward leewards of approximately 7 nautical miles.
Race One of the event saw Red (GBR) take the lead from the start, at the first windward mark she was followed by Giovanni Maspero's Joe Fly (ITA) and Andrea Cecchetti's Bagua (ITA). By the leeward gate Claudi Recchi's Team 93 had moved up to third place behind Red and Joe Fly and continued her climb up the fleet during the second windward leg to finish second behind Red and ahead of Maspero's team which had Francesco Bruni calling tactics.
In Race Two it was Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino that took the start and held the lead to round the first mark ahead of Team 93, which also has Flavio Favini (America's Cup with Mascalzone Latino in 2000 and 2007) aboard. Team 93 overtook Mascalzone, with Adrian Stead on tactics, during the first downwind leg with Pieter Taselaar's Bliksem (USA) rounding third at the leeward gate. On the second windward leg the Americans on Bliksem passed Mascalzone to move up to second behind Team 93, all three held their positions to the finish.
Racing is scheduled to continue tomorrow, Thursday 24th September, at 12 midday with a maximum of three races to be held on each race day. Tomorrow's forecast gives north eaterly winds once again, building to 18 to 22 knots in the afternoon.

A classic judicial story comes to the New Bern Civic Theatre stage for six shows, beginning Sept. 13, under the direction of theater veteran Alan Berger.
A classic judicial story comes to the New Bern Civic Theatre stage for six shows, beginning Sept. 13, under the direction of theater veteran Alan Berger.
�12 Angry Men� was an Emmy-award winning television movie and comes to Civic with special arrangements by The Dramatic Publishing Company.
Shows are Sept. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees on Sept. 15 and 22.
Tickets are $17 in advance and $19 at the door.
The show is produced by Eileen Shaloub.
Civic provided this synopsis:
�A 19-year-old man has just stood for trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. �He doesn�t stand a chance,� mutters one of the guards as the 12 jurors go into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case � until one of the jurors begins opening the others� eyes to the facts. It becomes personal and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors� final verdict and how they reach it will electrify you and keep you on the edge of your seat.�
Berger said that besides being an engaging drama, the story is about the behavior of people when the jury process forces them to come together to reach a unanimous decision.
�We see dynamics that occur due to diversity in culture, education and financial status. We learn how leadership emerges within the group. Finally we see how, through thoughtful deliberation and analysis, deeply divided individuals can unite in a unanimous verdict,� he said.
�In light of recent current events, the lessons depicted in the play prove to be as timely today as when it was first produced almost 60 years ago.�
He said the play presents a unique opportunity for actors to experience an ensemble piece that occurs in real time. That keeps the actors engaged from beginning to end.
Once on stage, all the jurors never leave the view of the audience.

What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Good question! Here ya go
Diabetes (medically known as diabetes mellitus) is the name given to disorders in which the body has trouble regulating its blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.Type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a disorder of the body's immune system — that is, its system for protecting itself from viruses, bacteria or any "foreign" substances. Type 1 diabetes diagnosed in adults over 30 may be Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), sometimes known as Type 1.5 diabetes. LADA is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes because of age; however people with LADA do not have insulin resistance like those with type 2. LADA is characterized by age, a lack of family history of type 2 diabetes, a gradual increase in insulin requirements, positive antibodies, and decreasing ability to make insulin as indicated by a low C-peptide. A fourth and very rare form of diabetes, called monogenic diabetes, is also sometimes mistaken for type 1 diabetes but typically strikes newborns.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body's immune system attacks and destroys certain cells in the pancreas, an organ about the size of a hand that is located behind the lower part of the stomach. These cells — called beta cells — are contained, along with other types of cells, within small islands of endocrine cells called the pancreatic islets. Beta cells normally produce insulin, a hormone that helps the body move the glucose contained in food into cells throughout the body, which use it for energy. But when the beta cells are destroyed, no insulin can be produced, and the glucose stays in the blood instead, where it can cause serious damage to all the organ systems of the body.
For this reason, people with type 1 diabetes must take insulin in order to stay alive. This means undergoing multiple injections daily, or having insulin delivered through an insulin pump, and testing their blood sugar by pricking their fingers for blood six or more times a day. People with diabetes must also carefully balance their food intake and their exercise to regulate their blood sugar levels, in an attempt to avoid hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemic (high blood sugar) reactions, which can be life threatening.
The warning signs of type 1 diabetes include extreme thirst; frequent urination; drowsiness or lethargy; sugar in urine; sudden vision changes; increased appetite; sudden weight loss; fruity, sweet, or wine-like odor on breath; heavy, labored breathing; stupor; and unconsciousness.
Type 1 diabetes is generally diagnosed in children, teenagers, or young adults. Scientists do not yet know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but they believe that autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors are involved.
Im bringing this up because I was introduced to a high school ball player who battles this, along with the competition.
Heres the story of Zack Davalos, a player I would love to have on any team of mine.

Spent nuclear fuel pools
Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) refers to fuel after it has fueled a reactor. This fuel looks like new fuel in the sense that it is made of solid pellets contained in fuel rods. The only difference is that SNF contains fission products and actinides, such as plutonium, which are radioactive, meaning it needs to be shielded. Just as with the fuel rods in a shutdown reactor, the SNF produces decay heat because most of the decay radioactivity from the fission products and actinides is deposited in the fuel and converted into thermal energy (aka heat). As a result, the SNF also needs to be cooled, but at a much lower level than fuel in a recently (<12 hours) shutdown reactor as it produces only a fraction of the heat. In summary, the SNF is stored for a certain time to: 1) allow the fuel to cool as its decay heat decreases; and 2) shield the emitted radiation.
To accomplish these goals, SNF is stored in water pools and large casks that use air to cool the fuel rods. The pools are often located near the reactor (in the upper floors of the containment structure for a BWR Mark-1 containment). These pools are very large, often 40 feet deep (or larger depending on the design). The pools are made of thick concrete, lined with stainless steel. SNF assemblies are placed in racks at the bottom of these pools, so almost 30 feet of water covers the top of the SNF assemblies. The assemblies are often separated by plates containing boron which ensure a neutron chain reaction cannot start. The likelihood of such an event is further reduced because the useful uranium in the fuel has been depleted when it was in the reactor, so it is no longer capable of sustaining a chain reaction. The water in the pool is sufficient to cool the SNF, and the heat is rejected through a heat exchanger in the pool so the pool should stay at fairly constant average temperature. The water depth also ensures the radiation emitted from the SNF is shielded to a level where people can safely work around the pools.
Under normal operating circumstances, spent fuel can be stored in the pools indefinitely. An active cooling system is in place to remove the residual decay heat and the water also provides effective radiation shielding. The amount of fuel that can be stored into the pool can vary according to the capacity of the pool itself, but most spent fuel pools are design to be able to store many reactor cores at once.
During the refueling operation the reactor is shut down, all the areas between the reactor and the spent fuel are flooded with water (to provide radiation shielding) and fuel elements are moved one by one from the reactor to the spent fuel pool where they are re-racked. Refueling can occur every 12-18 months and during a single refueling shut down, up to one third of the fuel elements of the core are replaced. All the operations are conducted remotely under water through cranes and special equipment to avoid radiation exposure to the workers.
The spent fuel is usually stored in the spent fuel pool for a number of years, depending on the spent fuel capacity and on regulations, and after that period they are usually dry stored in concrete casks located on the site outside the reactor buildings.
If there is a leak in the pool or the heat exchanger fails, the pool temperature will increase. If this happens for long enough, the water may start to boil. If the boiling persists, the water level in the pool may fall below the top of the SNF, exposing the rods. This can be a problem as the air is not capable of removing enough heat from the SNF so the rods will begin to heat up. If the rods get hot enough, the zirconium-based cladding will oxidize with the steam and air, releasing hydrogen which can then ignite. These events would likely cause the clad to fail, releasing radioactive fission products like iodine, cesium, and strontium. It is important to note that each of these occurrences (cooling system failure, pool water boiling, fuel rod overheating in air, zirconium oxidation reaction) would each have to last sufficiently long in order to cause an accident, making the total likelihood of a serious situation very low.
The most significant danger if such an event were to occur is that there is no robust containment structure (like the one housing the reactor,) surrounding the SNF pool. While SNF pools themselves are very robust structures, the roof above each pool is not as strong and may have been damaged, meaning the surface of the pool may be open to the environment. As long as the water covers the fuel, this does not pose a direct threat to the environment, however it does allow for a possible dispersion of these fission products if a fire were to occur. But if the water level stays above the fuel, the threat of a large dispersion event is low.

The world's richest woman, Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart, drew international scorn recently after saying that people who are jealous of the wealthy should drink less and work harder.
And now she's back with some more helpful advice.
Speaking at the Sydney Mining Club, Rinehart said her country's mining industry couldn't compete with nations that are willing to pay workers less than $2 a day for their sweat and labor.
The implicit suggestion: Employers should be free to pay workers whatever they please.
This echoes Rinehart's earlier to-do list, in which she urged Aussie lawmakers to cut the minimum wage so that, well, she wouldn't have to spend so much money on things like workers' salaries and benefits.
"The evidence is inarguable that Australia is becoming too expensive and too uncompetitive to do export-oriented business," Rinehart said at the Sydney Mining Club. "Africans want to work, and its workers are willing to work for less than $2 per day. Such statistics make me worry for this country's future."

Valve possibly launching Jockey / Ubuntu Software Center directly when needed for prompting users to install the binary graphics drivers when needed for a game instead of using the slower, less-featureful, and buggy open-source graphics drivers.

Overall the outcome should be at least we'll know what works and what needs redesign.
Now, they could just make Steam look for it and then not complain when it does not find it, but still.
Originally posted by Hamish Wilson View PostWell, Fedora will never make something like Jockey as it is opposed to shipping patented or proprietary drivers and codecs. Does that mean Steam will not work with it?

Let's make some sensible assumptions here
GL 2.x (es) will be a reccomendation. Games that need features available in GL 3 or 4 will use those versions (or GL2 and the relevant extensions).
PA is optimised for power usage rather than low latency, 20ms is concidered acceptable limit for pro audio production, Ideally I would like to see pulse below that. (is this with or without using pulse with realtime capabilities).
I don't think it's any great secret that Valve is targetting Ubuntu specifically rather than Linux in general. I personally think this is a sensible approach at least initially. It can't be that hard to package the library versions needed by steam needs in other distros.Last edited by kayosiii; 10-30-2012, 08:52 PM.
Originally posted by tweak42 View PostI suppose it's kinda hard to say at this early juncture. They could make Steam check the proprietary drivers and if it only find the open ones just pop up a message that game performance will be limited, but allow you to continue. This probably would work fine for older or 2d games. The reason they would tie it to Jockey would be so a newbie user could install the proprietary drivers easily to get them working. I'm sure a Fedora user could do the same with few manual command lines.
Originally posted by Kano View PostUsually the libs are not the problem, but when they use something newer as u 11.10 then binaries will not work on Debian wheezy. Basically some Linux devs at Valve should know how to work around that, lets see if they did or not.
so far I hear they use libappindicator.so which I think is fairly Ubuntu specific.

A Shawnee man is now charged with murder in the first degree, deliberate intent, for the stabbing death of his stepfather earlier this month.
A Shawnee man is now charged with murder in the first degree, deliberate intent, for the stabbing death of his stepfather earlier this month.
Joseph Michael Neay, 22, was charged Monday in Pottawatomie County District Courts.
He is accused of unlawfully, and with malice aforethought, causing the death of Marty Lee Jones by stabbing him with a knife, charges read.
Jones, 45, was found dead Nov. 2 in his home, 709 E. 11th, and Neay was arrested in the case later that afternoon.
Police said a postal carrier delivering mail reported smoke coming from the house just before 10 a.m. that Friday. Shawnee firefighters responded to battle that blaze, where they found Jones dead in the kitchen.
According to the arrest warrant in this case, the body was found in a pool of blood in the kitchen, but evidence suggested a struggle in the home started in a back bedroom.
Police began probing the case, which included researching a report that Jones' wife had made the weekend before for domestic abuse. Police called her and learned she was at her mother's residence in Dallas, the warrant shows, but she told them she has a son, Joseph Neay, and told officers he lives at an apartment in the area of 11th and Pennsylvania.
Police went there and found bloody fingerprints on a banister, so Neay was detained and later questioned. During that interview, the warrant shows Neay admitted walking to the home to confront Marty Jones about assaulting his mother. He allegedly told detectives he walked into the front door and that he and Jones began fighting in the bedroom.
"Neay advised that he took a knife from Marty and began cutting and stabbing Marty," the warrant shows. "Neay stated the fight ended in the kitchen where Marty fell face down on the floor."
According to the warrant, Neay allegedly told detectives he stabbed Jones a few more times on the floor.
"Neay stated that he took his sweat shirt off and placed it and some bed sheets on top of Marty and then ignited them with a lighter," according to the affidavit.
Neay then left the scene of foot and allegedly threw the knife in a creek, the warrant shows. Neay took officers to the location of the knife, where it was recovered, the warrant shows.
Neay was arrested that afternoon on murder and arson complaints and has since been jailed without bond in the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center.
At the onset of the investigation, police said the motive was likely a domestic-related issue between the stepfather and stepson.
According to court records, Jones' wife had filed an emergency protective order against Marty Jones on Oct. 29 and that order was served on Nov. 1.
The state medical examiner concluded the cause of death for Jones was multiple sharp force injuries.
Funeral services for Jones were held in Kentucky, where he was born and raised and his mother, Mary Conner, still resides. Jones also leaves behind two children, ages 12 and 9, who live with their mother in Prague, Conner said.
If convicted in the murder case, Neay could face the death penalty, imprisonment for life or imprisonment for life without parole.
His next court date hasn't yet been scheduled.
