Jim Tait

 

By Cara Sulieman

A GOLFER has followed up his first hole-in-one after 35 years by sinking two in the space of a fortnight to earn his hat trick.

Jim Tait first hit a hole-in-one in 1974, and earlier this month he achieved the seemingly impossible by doing it again – this time on the seventh straight at Murrayfield Golf Course.

The 62-year-old said: “I couldn’t believe it when it sailed in. I was golfing with a friend who said ‘that was a very good shot’ while it was still flying through the air, then he trailed off.

“We were shocked and leapt up to shake hands. I never, ever thought I would get another one.”

“Adrenaline was pumping”

And just 12 days later it was drinks all round again when Jim sunk the ball at the 13th hole on the Royal Burgess Golf Course.

He said: “The adrenaline was pumping and I had to keep rubbing my eyes.

“I was with two of my best friends who had just been talking about when they had witnessed a hole-in-one a couple of days before in North Berwick and we never, ever expected it.

“I found the rest of the game very difficult indeed because it’s hard to concentrate after you let go of your emotions like I did.

“If I get another one, well, I’d say it was impossible but I’d probably better not.”

“Excellent golfer”

The keen golfer from Barnton in Edinburgh started playing when he was just 15 after his father persuaded him to give it a go.

He scored his first hole-in-one in 1974 on the second hole in a championship match at Murrayfield.

He said: “My father was an excellent golfer.

“He was a scratch player, which meant that he had no handicap, but I think he still only managed the single hole-in-one during his lifetime. I am certainly not a better player than he was, though.”

“Brilliant”

The manager at Murrayfield Golf Course, Marjorie Thomson, said she was thrilled to hear of Jim’s success.

She said: “I golf a little and I’ve had a hole-in-one, but if you’re a good golfer it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll ever hit one.

“I think it’s brilliant news, I’ve never heard of it happening before.”

I thought it might be good idea to check out the wine bar right in my own “hood”, so we checked out Brix Wine Cafe Labor day weekend. Their happy hour “hours” are now from 4-6pm everyday and not just on Sundays.

OK, OK, I ended up having a wine flight instead, which consisted of Prunotto Barbera d’Asti Fiulot, ‘07, Tait Ballbuster, Barossa Valley ‘07, Australia and Vieux Chateau Chambeau, Lussac Saint Emilion ‘05, France. My favorite was the Lussac which had flavors of leather, mocha cherry, with good acidity and a smooth finish. The flight cost $13.

My husband had the happy hour wine selection, of which there is only one, a Syrah from Chateau St. Michelle for $5.00. It was pretty darn good for a happy hour selection. Sorry not much of a description, I only got one sip.

They have a happy hour food menu as well. Ceasear salad, flat breads, tomato bisque and some others as well.

The Carleton Place scene of the Eighteen Seventies is reviewed in the present section of a continued account. 

The larger industrial plants opened here in the Eighteen Seventies were the McArthur and Hawthorne Woollen Mills and the Gillies Machine Works.  Others included a lime kiln, which still remains in operation, and two planning mills.  As a village of 1,200 persons the municipality of Carleton Place was first incorporated in 1870.  A town hall was built and was converted within a few years to help meet the public school needs of an enlarged population.  A new high school remained unused during several years of municipal dispute.  A great fire destroyed a lumber yard stock valued at over $125,000.  A lengthy business depression placed severe limits on the country’s prosperity.  Western migration of the district’s sons continued, and began to reach the new province of Manitoba.

Building Boom

1870 – Carleton Place was first incorporated as a separate municipality by a county bylaw effective in November 1870.  Its future growth was assured when at the same time the Canada Central Railway line was opened for use between Ottawa and Carleton Place, connecting here with the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s tracks which extended from Brockville to Arnprior and Sand Point.

Building of the first stone structure of the present Bates and Innes Woollen Mill was begun by Archibald McArthur and was completed a year later.  The central building was five stories in height.  Other building construction included the present Central Public School on Bridge Street, later enlarged ; the present Queen’s Hotel, also later enlarged, built for Duncan McIntosh of Perth, father of the late Dr. Duncan H. McIntosh of Carleton Place ; and about fifty residences.  The Carleton Place grist and oatmeal mills were taken over from William Bredin by Horace Brown (1829-1891), in partnership with W. C. Caldwell of Lanark, and were further equipped to manufacture wheat flour.

In the Fenian Raids of 1870 the Carleton Place Rifle Company, which had become No. 5 Company, 41^st Regiment, served on duty at Cornwall under Captain John Brown of Carleton Place, and numbered fifty-three of all ranks.  It included the regimental band under Bandmaster J. C. Bonner, proprietor of a local music store.  Lieut J. Jones Bell (1845-1931) of the Carleton Place Company was serving at this time in the Red River Rebellion expedition.

Local Elections

1871 – Elected officials of this newly incorporated community were chosen in January 1871.  Those elected were Reeve Robert Crampton, general merchant, and Councillors Patrick Galvin, tailor ; John Graham, wagon maker ; Dr. William Wilson, surgeon ; and William Kelly, innkeeper.  School trustees elected were James Gillies, lumber manufacturer ; William Taylor, hardware merchant ; William Bredin, mill owner ; Patrick Struthers, general merchant and postmaster ; and Allan McDonald, woollen manufacturer.  Other officers were James Poole, clerk ; James Gillies, treasurer ; James McDiarmid, assessor ; William Patterson, tax collector ; Joseph McDiarmid, assessor ; William Patterson, tax collector ; Joseph Bond, constable and road commissioner ; William Morphy and Brice McNeely Jr., pound keepers ; and Finlay McEwen and John Brown, auditors.

Town Hall

1872 – The first Carleton Place Town Hall was built on Edmund Street and opened in 1872.  On the ground floor of the two storey stone building was the council chamber, a jail and caretaker’s living quarters.  The second storey served as a hall for public gatherings.

James Docherty built the Moffatt planing mill on the former Fuller foundry property at the south shore of the river.  In the McArthur cloth factory (now Bates & Innes) ten new looms were added.  Napoleon Lavallee removed his hotel business to his large new stone building at the corner of Lake Avenue and Bridge Streets.

John G. Haggart (1836-1913), Perth miller, was elected member of Parliament for South Lanark.  He continued to hold that seat for a record period of forty-one years and was a member of several conservative cabinets.

Lumbering

1873 – A lumber industry change in 1873 was the sale by John Gillies to Peter McLaren of control of the Carleton Place sawmill and Mississippi timber limits of the Gillies and McLaren firm.  The Gillies interests of Carleton Place bought sawmills at Braeside, together with some 250 square miles of timber limits at a price reported as $195,000.

Gambling

1874 – Members of the Carleton Place Council were John Graham, reeve, and William Taylor, John F. Cram, Dr. William Wilson and James Morphy.  Public billiard and pool tables were prohibited.  The next year’s Council permitted their operation under municipal licence.  A press report stated the Council of Carleton Place have passed a by-law prohibiting the keeping of billiard, bagatelle and pigeon-hole tables for public resort in that village, under a penalty of not less than $25.  The reasons for this stringent step as set forth in the preamble to the bylaw are contained in the following paragraph :  As gambling is a vice of a very aggravated nature, which encourages drunkenness, profane swearing and frequently causes the ruin of both body and soul of those addicted to it, and not infrequently murder, it should therefore be discountenanced and suppressed within the Corporation of Carleton Place.

The famous P. T. Barnum’s Circus was billed to appear here.  Claiming such attractions as the only giraffes and captive sea lions in America, Fiji cannibals, a talking machine and over a thousand men and horses, its announcement said :

P. T. Barnum’s Great Travelling World Fair, Museum, Menagerie, Caravan Circus and Colossal Exposition of all Nations will pitch its Mighty Metropolis of twenty Centre Pole Pavilions at Carleton Place on Wednesday, July 15 and at Perth on Thursday, July 16.

New Growth

1874 – A volunteer fire brigade, the Ocean Wave Fire Company, was organized at Carleton Place.  The municipality bought a hand operated pumper fire engine for $1,000 and a $200 hose reel cart.  Members of the committee appointed by Council to organize the brigade were William Patterson, William Kelly, A. H. Tait, James Shilson and Abner Nichols.  The new brigade’s initiation to fire fighting was the McLachlan lumber mills fire at Arnprior.

In the first stages of a five year business depression two new industries were started here.  They came with the building of the three storey stone structure of the Gillies Machine Works on the north side of the river at the lower falls, and the opening of the four storey stone woollen factory of Abraham Code, M.P.P., later known as the Hawthorne Woollen Mill.  Mr. Code was a member of the Ontario Legislature for South Lanark from 1869 to 1879.

Famous Struggle

1875 – A ten year losing battle was begun by Peter McLaren (1831-1919), owner of the largest lumber mill at Carleton Place, for monopoly controls over the navigation of logs on the Mississippi River.  It was fought between the government of Ontario and the Dominion, by physical force between opposing gangs of men on the river, and in the courts of Canada and England.

In the opening rounds of 1875, men of the Stewart and Buck firm brought their drive down the river to the Ottawa after cutting a passage through a McLaren boom at the Ragged Chute in Palmerston, and a twenty foot gap through a closed McLaren dam at High Falls in North Sherbrooke.  Boyd Caldwell & Son, which later carried this famous struggle for public navigation rights to a successful conclusion, was then employing seventy-five men on a ten hour day at its Carleton Place mill managed by William Caldwell.

Our Volume One

1876 – This newspaper was founded in January 1876, under the sponsorship of William Bredin of Carleton Place, with William W. Cliff of Napanee as editor and publisher.  There were 1,800 persons living in Carleton Place.

When adverse winds delayed timber drives for several days in the lower Mississippi, some 24,000 sticks of square timber lay in the river between Appleton and Almonte at the end of June.  Owners were the Caldwell, McLaren, Mackie, Campbell and Buck & Stewart firms. 

A Saturday vacation starting date for the province’s public schools was advanced from July 15 to July 7.  The Minister of Education addressed a meeting of the county’s school teachers here.  Carleton Place had five public and two high school teachers.

Local Taxes

1877 – The McArthur woollen mill, equipped to operate by waterpower of the lower falls, was leased and reopened by William H. Wylie when the country’s business depression became less severe.

The six largest assessments for local taxes were those of the railway company, Peter McLaren, lumber manufactuer ; Archibald McArthur, woollen mill owner ; Boyd Caldwell, lumber manufacturer ; Abraham Code, M.P.P., woollen manufacturer ; and Horace Brown, grain miller.  A tax exemption for the machine works of Gillies, Beyer & Company continued in effect.  The tax rate was 14 ½ mills.

O’Brien’s Circus visited Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls, with its transportation provided by horses and two hundred mules.  Barnum’s Circus showed at Brockville and Ottawa.

High School

1878 – A separate High School of stone construction was built on High Street.  During the course of bitter and widespread disputes and litigation, based on a division of business and real estate interests between the north and south halves of the town, the new school, though much needed remained unused for nearly five years. 

A local option temperance statute of 1864 was brought into force in this area and retained for one year, prohibiting all sales of liquor in quantities of less than five gallons.

Alexander M. Gillies and Peter Peden, aged 21 and 24, were drowned in September while duck hunting at night near Black Point in the lower Mississippi Lake.

Great Fire

1879 – In continuance of prolonged controversy over the sites of the High School and Town Hall, the Town Hall on Edmund Street was converted in part into a public school, a step which brought a brief stage of physical violence followed by allegations of riot, assault and libel and a number of related court actions.

A planing mill was opened by Abner Nichols (1835-1905) on the riverside at Rosamond Street adjoining the Gillies Machine Works.  A lime kiln which continues in operation was built by Napoleon Lavallee, hotelkeeper, on his farm at the present site of Napoleon Street.  William Cameron acquired the business ten years later and operated it for many years.  With two local woollen mills remaining in operation, the closed Hawthorne Woollen Mill was offered for sale by Abraham Code.

A great fire destroyed over thirteen million feet of sawn lumber in the northern part of the Peter McLaren piling yards, together with a section of ties and rails of the Canada Central Railway.  The yards extended about three quarters of a mile along the railway line.  The lumber firm’s loss was recovered from $50,000 in insurance and $100,000 in damages paid when court decisions holding the railway company responsible were upheld five years later in England.  Fire engines and men came to Carleton Place from Almonte, Arnprior, Brockville, Smiths Falls and Ottawa, and hundreds of local helpers aided in saving lumber and checking the spread of the conflagration.

Here are a couple pictures from the Huckers Ball, a new event that took place in Alberta a couple weeks ago.

Here are the census records for the Tait family. Lydia Bedell, daughter of William H. Bedell and Emeline McConnell married John H. Tait, who appears to be the son of John Tait and Margaret Unknown.  I am not sure what happened to his parents, but he and his brother were living with their Uncle Thomas Tait Jr. in 1880.

**I have no proof this is the correct John Tait, other than the census records, but I think this information is correct.

UPDATE:

Here is something I forgot to add, more for amusement than anything else, although I think is is probably referring to Thoms Tait Jr., based on the time period. If it was him, the guy he beat with a brick must have pulled through.

On Friday night last Thomas Tait, who resides about five miles from the village of Reedsburg, while under the influence of liquor got into an altercation with a young man from southern Minnesota by the name of Commody, and struck him with a brick from the effects of which he cannot recover. Tait is under arrest.

Stevens Point Journal, The (Stevens Point, Wisconsin) 14 Sep 1878

**I used google map to see how far Reedsburg was from Ironton, and it showed a distance of  about 8 miles or so.

SAMUEL HINEMAN born about 1837-1838 Indiana

I have been trying to identify this Samuel Hineman for a long time because I really think he is related to my Hineman family. I renewed my search after receiving a picture of a Samuel Hineman from another researcher who has ties to the McConnell side of the family.

Tonight, I think I have found another reason to believe he is related. Looking through the Hineman siblings of my Samuel Hineman (not this  one, but could be his father) I noticed that Catherine Hineman (daughter of John Hineman, born about 1775 and Mary Unknown) who married David McConnell, had a son Phillip McConnell in  Wayne Co., Indiana in 1838!

****UPDATE: Aaron caught an error I made above. Phillip McConnell was born in Wayne County, Indiana, but none of us have Jackson as the exact place. Sorry about that; I have removed that mention.

Well, this Samuel Hineman born about 1837/38 was born in Indiana, same time frame. Now, evidently none of these people stayed in Indiana very long. In fact, David and Catherine went to Wisconsin, as did this Samuel Hineman and my John Hineman, probably all about the same time, possibly together!

I think this Samuel Hineman is a brother to my John Hineman, son of Samuel Hineman. Since the McConnell’s and Hineman’s are known to have migrated together, why wouldn’t it make sense that Catherine’s brother, Samuel went to Indiana with her and her family?

Now, here is someone else I found in Jackson, Wayne Co., Indiana, but in 1840:

1840 Census
Name:  Samuel McConnel
Township: Jackson
County: Wayne
State: Indiana
Males 1 under 5, 1 is 20-30, 1 is 30-40
Females 1 under 5, 1 is 20-30

I have no idea who he is, I don’t have a Samuel McConnell in my family tree, and I don’t really have enough information to track him down.

Now back to Samuel Hineman: Here he is in 1850, living with unrelated people near Daniel Hineman, son of the senior John and Mary Hineman, and my John Hineman, son of Samuel.

Not only that, I just noticed today that there is a “stray” Daniel Hineman, age 18 Ohio, living with Daniel and family. Since Daniel Hineman and Mary Ann Devolt didn’t marry until 1840, he can’t be their son. I suppose the senior Daniel could have been married prior, but I have no record of that. Does anyone else?

So if the younger Daniel Hineman is not theirs, whose is he? Not only that, there is the pauper, Mary Hineman next door, who was born about 1840, Ohio. Who does she belong to?

Why are there 3 Hineman children farmed out? Why is the senior Samuel and wife nowhere to be found? Did they die? I suspect that at least one of them did, possibly both of them, since I can’t find Samuel anywhere. Every Samuel I have checked turned out to belong to someone else.

Emeline (McConnell) Bedell’s daughters, Emma and Minnie both married Compton’s, and another daughter, Lydia, married John H. Tait/Tate.

*****************

Samuel Hineman must have died between 1905 and 1910, probably in Sauk Co., Wisconsin, because I can’t find him on the 1910 census. He is NOT listed in the pre-1907 Wisconsin death records on Ancestry.

In fact, the only Hineman listed in the 1820 to 1907 WI death records for Sauk County,  is Margaret A. Hineman, which should be Margaret Ann Devolt. For some reason, I have her place of death listed as Willow Twp., Richland Co., Wisconsin.

Margaret A Hineman      26 Mar 1895      Sauk

For Richland County, they have this:

Mrs Daniel Hindman      23 Mar 1895      Richland

Hmm… Which one is correct?

Recently the Newsboys announced that Michael Tait would be taking over as their new lead singer. For those who have followed Christian music and all of its strange quirks, the pairing is something could only be contrived in dream sleep—whether it is a dream come true or a nightmare depends on your perspective. Michael Tait made a name for himself as a member of the multi-platinum rap-turned-rock-turned-pop DC Talk with his great voice and Lenny Kravitz-esque styling. The Newsboys made a name for themselves by, well…making sounds that Christian teenagers like to hear—not to discredit their contributions though, as they were one of the more creative Christian bands in the 1990s.

Both bands were lauded for doing what most other Christian bands couldn’t—be both unique and talented (not overly so, but more than the scene was accustomed to). Both bands went through some intriguing changes—Peter Furler took over as lead singer of the Newsboys in 1998 with the appropriately titled Step Up to the Microphone (he had been the drummer and primary songwriter). Furler was probably always considered the leader of the band; now, he was also the frontman. Additionally, Furler was the only original member of the band by that point, though Phil Joel, Jody Davis, and Jeff Frankenstein settled into permanent spots with Duncan Phillips taking over behind the drums for Furler. By 2002, Newsboys peeked creatively with Thrive. Subsequently, they jumped onto the praise and worship bandwagon that made Christian radio even more unlistenable with Adoration in 2003. Of course, this gave them the best sales of their career, but we all know that doesn’t necessarily mean quality. Arguably the most talented members of Newsboys, Phil Joel and Jody Davis left the band to pursue solo interests. But Newsboys was a cash cow not yet ready to meet demise.

DC talk on the other hand has had their history so well documented, it’s hardly worth mentioning here, but in summary, it can be said that the solo albums revealed that most of creative talent was tied to Toby Mckeehan’s pop sensibilities and Kevin Max’s unorthodox approach. Tait was responsible for bringing a nice voice and not much else.

Sadly, a great voice doesn’t take away from the ubiquitous blandness found in both Tait’s solo work and more recent Newsboys work. In an interview with Tait, the Newsboys, and several peer artists like Third Day, the new pairing of Tait with Newsboys has been likened unto a combination of Burger King and McDonalds—a super burger. An incredibly greasy burger that will clog your arteries and make you want to die, perhaps.

No friends, this is not the joining of two goods to form a greater one. This is the joining of two has-beens trying to survive in a collapsing market. This is the clinging to an audience that still exists but is too naïve to understand that this is neither the Newsboys nor the DC Talk of the 1990s. What should be done here? The Newsboys need to call it a career. On the other hand, this is an infinitively better career move for Tait—songwriting duties will still belong to Furler—and once again he will only have to provide a decent voice. I wince as I watch this pairing though; it’s just not right to fleece the flock like this. Newsboys should not have DC Talk songs in their setlist and Michael Tait should not be fronting an Australian band that has no original members left.

Message From Peter

by admin on Mar.26, 2009, under News

Hello Friends,

Sorry for the delay in getting this brief statement out. As we say around the nb camp, “I’ve been flat out like a lizard drinking.” It’s been a busy time helping the lads with this transition, while at  the same time finishing up the recording and mixing of the new CD in order to make the May 5th release date.

As you know, I have come to a decision that it is time to stop.  I want  to thank you for your prayers and encouragement!  We have had many people write and call asking about my well-being.  Thank you for your  concern!  I am happy to let you know that I am not dying of some sickness or disease, nor am I in some sort of moral or spiritual crisis (Glory To God!). There has been no band bust-up or punch-out! All is well! (Although now that I think of it, I did accidently render Duncan unconscious one time in a play fight minutes before a concert!)  For me, the decision is that after traveling many thousands of miles across land and sea for over 22 years, along with needing to constantly keep writing and reach production deadlines–let alone feed my dog, It was time for something to give, and my booking agent and his GPS drew the 
short straw!

What are my plans you ask?  Well, at the moment, they are to encourage the lads in this here “passing of the baton” to Michael, as well as to continue songwriting, and most importantly, for Summer and I to continue doing what we are all called to do–that is reach the people that come across our path with the Love and Spirit of Jesus.

I want to thank YOU! For you have always welcomed me, from the early days of criss-crossing the USA in a beat-up, old dodge van, to traveling in trains, planes, ferries, ships, (and of course the occasional motorbike) into some of the most amazing places on this planet!  Let me think: Morocco, Israel, Asia, UK, Europe, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Russia and Uganda just to name a few.  Seeing your faces and hearing you sing has blessed me. Again, many thanks!

Now, I need to ask you a favor.  Please do the same for my friend, Michael Tait.  Welcome him.  Michael is a statesman in our industry, and he is who I have picked to carry on what I started as a teenager.

newsboys is more than a band to me.  It is a group of people: men and women, husbands and wives, sons and daughters pooling together their gifts and talents, making many sacrifices, and believing that together we are all making a difference in telling the good news of the saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ to our generation.  I am happy to say that this has not changed.

I will continue on with the band as friend, songwriter, cheerleader, and prayer partner.

Please enjoy the new CD, In The Hands of God.  We poured our souls into it. I sang at the top of my lungs! It is for you!

Love and Peace,

Peter Furler

Michael Tait Joins Newsboys – BattleCry Dallas

Od jakiegoś czasu słychać było tu i ówdzie, że developerzy pracują nad szybkością startu systemu. Jak to powiada staropolskie przysłowie – “najlepiej na produkcję nadają się zawsze wersje Alpha”, więc przy okazji otrzymania w pracy nowego desktopu, postanowiłem w duchu przysłowia, zainstalować Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha. Aby system nie czuł się zbytnio wyobcowany, wybrałem system plików ex4 oraz doinstalowałem mainline kernel w wersji 2.6.29-020629rc7-generic. Sprzęt chodzi, nie zaliczył jeszcze żadnej niestabilności/zawieszenia/restartu, ot staropolskie przysłowia są mądrością narodu
Cóż, nie będę się rozwodził, tylko od razu przejdę do tego, co jest meritum – czasy!

Jeszcze z kronikarskiego obowiązku – sprzęt to HP dc5800dS9 z procesorem Intel E8400 i 2GB RAM.

System bez modyfikacji z zainstalowanymi kilkoma aplikacjami – czas startu 16 sekund

System po lekkim liftingu wyłączenie głównie usług, z których na pewno nie korzystam lub bardzo sporadycznie – czas startu 14 sekund

System po poważniejszym liftingu czyli zostawione niezbędne minimum – czas startu 13 sekund

Do całej procedury nie trzeba jakiejś specjalnej wiedzy i umiejętności, no może poza zgłębieniem tematu ‘runlevel services’. Narzędzia potrzebne do całej zabawy:
- płyta instalacjyna z Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha
- mainline kernel
- narzędzie do edycji ‘runlevel services’ – sysv-rc-conf
- narzędzie Boot chart do pomiaru czasu startu

Krótko podsumowując - jest szybko a jakby jeszcze popracować nad kernelem, dostosowując go do swojego sprzętu, to myślę, że można urwać jeszcze z wyników nawet z 2 albo 3 sekundy. Tym samym miłego tuningowania życzę.

Depois de 22 anos e mais de 2000 shows, o vocalista Peter Furler não vai mais liderar a banda em shows. Michael Tait estará viajando com a banda em turnê como vocalista principal, enquanto Peter fará algumas aparições especiais ao longo do ano.

Peter vai continuar com a banda e suas composições características e sua produção vão continuar enquanto ele foca sua carreira profissional nos trabalhos futuros do Newsboys.

Michael já tem estado na estrada com a banda nas últimas semanas trabalhando ao lado de Peter, o que tem sido uma experiência positiva e agradável para ambas as partes. O trabalho deles juntos tem sido um processo gratificante, enquanto se preparam para fazer a mudança nas próximas semanas.

Peter diz “Newsboys, para mim, sempre foi uma missão e eu confio Mike, Jeff, Jody e Duncan para continuar tudo o que ainda está por vir para nós como banda. Eu estou olhando para frente e focando a carreira da banda no estúdio e gastando algum tempo na minha própria cama depois de muitos anos em um ônibus de turnê e centenas de milhares de quilômetros na estrada.”

Wes Campbell, empresário do Newsboys, explica: “Enquanto a tarefa de substituir Peter nas turnês foi uma decisão dolorosa, a idéia de ter o vocalista do Dc Talk, Michael Tait, foi algo fácil de decidir para todos nós. Ninguém pode substituir Peter, mas nós sabemos que o Michael vai trazer uma nova atitude, uma nova energia e um novo estilo de cantar que vai eletrizar nossa platéia. Ter a possibilidade de continuar um show de classe mundial e ainda ter Peter atrás das cenas guiando a carreira e fazendo musica para o Newsboys é uma enorme oportunidade para todos nós. É maravilhoso que, depois de muitos anos em turnê junto com o Dc Talk nos anos 90, em 2009 nosso caminhos irão se cruzar mais uma vez. É um momento único para todos nós.”

“Por anos, Dc Talk e Newsobys têm sido uma família e dividido os mesmos leais e adoráveis fãs”, diz Michael Tait. “Quando eu recebi a primeira ligação para me juntar à banda como vocalista, eu fiquei sem ter o que falar! Eu imediatamente busquei conselhos e inundei o céu com orações sem fim por direção, e logo recebi paz, de maneira clara e definitiva. Na semana passada, eu tive a oportunidade de fazer meu primeiro show como vocalista do Newsboys, diante de uma platéia de 12.000 pessoas. Eu fui completamente envolvido de amor e apoio pelos fãs do Newsboys, que são, com certeza, os melhores fãs do planeta. Agora eu sei que aqui é exatamente onde devo estar nesse novo e maravilhoso momento da história da minha vida. Esse é definitivamente um momento único da minha carreira e na minha caminhada de mais de 20 anos com Jesus, e eu me sinto orgulhoso e privilegiado de me chamar um Newsboy.”

Nos próximos dias, Peter vai postar no site da banda, uma declaração pessoal com maiores detalhes.

Rumores tem “voado” online desde que Michael Tait (DC Talk) substituiu Peter Furler em um recente show dos Newsboys e anunciou que estaria assumindo o comando no lugar do vocalista de longa data da banda. Hoje, Dale Bray, presidente da Inpop Records confirmou que os rumores são verdadeiros no site dos Newsboys.

Mais detalhes:

“Olá,

Eu trabalho na Inpop Records e vou deixar uma breve atualização do que está acontecendo. Antes de tudo, não tem nada de errado com a saúde do Peter. Tudo o que foi dito no palco ontem a noite estava correto. Peter, o empresário da banda e a Inpop farão um anúncio oficial nessa semana, esperamos. Ninguém escondeu informação do público, nós apenas precisávamos de mais tempo para confirmar os detalhes, especialmente em uma questão importante para todos nós como essa. Por favor, saibam que todos nós queremos enviar a informação exata assim que possível. O que posso dizer agora é que o novo álbum, que estréia no dia 05 de maio é com Peter Furler em 100% dos vocais principais.

Saudações Calorosas,
Dale Bray
Presidente da Inpop”

I komu teraz należy wierzyć?

Jakiś czas temu przeprowadziłem krótki test porównawczy Geil David vs Corsair Voyager. Dzisiaj w moim dorobku pojawił się nowy sprzęt a mianowicie Patriot XT 8GB. Ostatnio miałem bardzo miłe doświadczenia, głównie z pamięciami DDR2 tej firmy, dlatego zdecydowałem się zakupić tę pamięć flash. Po sprawdzeniu parametrów odczytu i zapisu oraz zatwierdzeniu wyglądu, zleciłem zamówienie. Cóż nie pozostaje mi nic innego jak tylko poddać go procedurze testowej identycznej jak w przypadku dwóch pozostałych sprzętów i porównać wyniki.Jakość wykonania jest naprawdę bardzo dobra i tutaj muszę przyznać, że z tych trzech modeli Patriot XT bezapelacyjnie jest najlepszy zarówno pod względem wykonania jak i samego wyglądu. Czarna, niezbyt twarda i niezbyt miękka a zarazem miła w dotyku guma, oraz wyraźne czerwone napisy sprawiają, że coś w sobie ma. Końcówka zabezpieczająca port USB zachodzi dosyć ciasno, także nie ma chyba obawy o jej zsunięcie i zgubienie. Jedyne do czego można mieć poważne obiekcję to dołączona smycz a w zasadzie biały sznurek, który ni jak się ma do całej reszty – moim zdaniem już lepiej jakby nic nie było. W pudełku znajdziemy jeszcze krótką przedłużkę USB. Sam pendrak po zamontowaniu w systemie nie zawiera nic, żadnych udziwnień tudzież zbędnych aplikacji. Pojemność jaką mamy do dyspozycji to:

/dev/sdb1              7823424        16   7823408   1% /media/PATRIOT

Z racji, że domyślnie jest to FAT16 to mamy do dyspozycji nieco ponad 7,5GB. Co do szybkości producent podaje tylko tyle “Speeds up to 180x”, ale niestety nie potrafiłem się doszukać co to oznacz. Nie ma co przeciągać – na testach wyjdzie wszystko!

Tak jak w poprzednim przypadku tworzymy plik testowy.

terror@cartel:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/terror/plik bs=1M count=450
450+0 records in
450+0 records out
471859200 bytes (472 MB) copied, 16.3688 s, 28.8 MB/s

Dane z programu hdparm:

terror@cartel:~$ /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads:   640 MB in  2.00 seconds = 319.97 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:   78 MB in  3.08 seconds =  25.32 MB/sec

Zapowiada się obiecująco.
Najpierw kopiowanie pliku na pendrive (interesuje nas tylko wynik “real”)

terror@cartel:~$ time cp plik /media/PATRIOT/

real    0m24.272s
user    0m0.028s
sys    0m3.856s

Wynik o prawie 13 sec lepszy niż Corsair Voyager i minimalnie lepszy od Geil David (tutaj muszę przyznać, że mnie zaskoczył).

Teraz przenoszenie skopiowanego pliku z pendrive na dysk twardy komputera.

terror@cartel:~$ time mv /media/PATRIOT/plik /home/terror/plik1

real    0m19.699s
user    0m0.036s
sys    0m3.840s

I w tym przypadku Patriot XT okazał się niepokonany wyprzedając Corsaira o ponad 3 sekundy a Geila o niecałe 2. Cóż na wszystkie pomiary należałoby nałożyć pewien margines błędu, no i fakt że nie wykonywałem ich co najmniej po 3 razy dla każdego urządzenia, uśredniając wynik. Cóż pozostaje to co wykonałem do przeglądnięcia i ewentualnej weryfikacji już podjętych decyzji w sprawie zakupu w miarę szybkiej pamięci flash. Na koniec zdjęcie nowego lidera.

Nowa zabawka od Google wzbudziła po opublikowaniu, mimo młodego wieku, całkiem sporo dyskusji i dość dużo kontrowersji oraz niepewności i awersji (cholera co za rym!).

Tait is one cute little boy! Like most one year olds he didn’t have much time to sit still. He only stopped for a moment, when the farmer next door came by with his tractor.  : ) Here are a few shots.
