Delightful gifts for book lovers that aren't books
It's that time of year again, when book lovers gather books to give to their book-loving friends and family. But sometimes a love of literature can spill over into other less literary things -- here are several delightful gifts that are not books but book-ish.

A Public Space has always been dedicated to promoting international literature, so it's not all that surprising that Brigid Hughes has joined forces with Roland Kelts (author of Japanamerica), Ted Goossen (professor of Japanese lit) and Motoyuki Shibata (translator into Japanese of Pynchon [!] and a number of other great American writers) to produce an American version of Monkey Business, a journal highlighting new writing from Japan.
Monkey Business was founded in Japan in 2008, and, according to Shibata, is modeled in part after APS. It's also named after the "immortal Chuck Berry tune." According to Shibata, "No other work of art that I know of deals with the aggravations we face every day so straightforwardly and with such liberating humor. That is the guiding star we follow on this journey."
The debut English language edition of MB culls the best writing from the first ten issues published in Japan. It was edited by Shibata and Ted Goossen, a professor at York University in Toronto and general editor of the Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories who has translated work by Murakami, Naoya Shiga, Masuji Ibuse and others. Hughes and Kelts contributed to the English language editing. Stories, poetry, interviews and even a manga, or Japanese comic, reimagining Franz Kafka's The Country Doctor, grace its pages.
I was too busy this past weekend watching St. Louis take over first place in the NL Central to read through this carefully, but on first glance, I think it will be a vital contribution to Japanesse literature in English. As a publisher, I'll say that aside from the Japanese Literature Publishing Project, it's tricky getting good recommendations of Japanese literature. There are a series of posts waiting to be (re)written about this issue, but suffice it to say that with a single 150 page volume, MB has instantly become one of the best sources for info on new "pure literature" coming out of Japan.
In addition to the aforementioned Kafka manga (that runs from right to life [fuckyeahalternativereadingstyles] going from page 137 to 118), this first issue includes a number of interesting looking pieces, including a poem by Inuo Taguchi (translated by Ted Goossen) entitled "Interviews with the Heroes, or Is Baseball Just for Fun?," a story by Koji Uno (translated by Jay Rubin), a collection of vignettes by Manazuru author Hiromi Kawakami (translated by Ted Goossen), and short story by Hideo Furukawa (translated by Michael Emmerich) that opens like this:
There is no answer. And why not? Because there's no question. All we've got is the fact that the monster is there. And it's hibernating. That's stage number one. From here, we move on to stage number two, stage number three. The last stage is more or less identical to the first, so the whole thing is a sort of "cyclical motion," you might say. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There can be no question that first of all we must address—observe, describe—the movement from the first stage to the second. The monster is there, hibernating . . . or rather, it was hibernating. It's just woken up.
You can order the issue here, and if you happen to be in NYC over the next couple weeks, you can attend one or more of the opening launch events taking place at the Asia Society, Book Court, and the Japan Society.
I'll leave off with a bit of Motoyuki Shibata's "Monkey Business manifesto," which appeared in the first Japanese issue of the journal:
Monkey Business is the newly founded journal of new writing from Japan and abroad with a few not-so-new works strategically slipped in. We offer nothing in the way of a "concept" or "lifestyle" aimed at a particular age bracket or social group, no useful information to help you get ahead. And we utterly lack that noble desire to provide a sanctuary from the whirl of daily life. If you gain any of these benefits, so much the better, but they are not our goals. Neither, we must add, do we have a radical agenda. Our intent is not to attack the system, whether it be artistic, political, or social. In fact, we aren't out to pick a fight with anyone, right or left, old or young, conservative or radical.
Though far from the most convincing reason to read literature in translation, one common side effect is learning of another culture, of its history. Within that, and a stronger motivation to read, is the discovery of stories not possible within. . .
Despite cries that literature is dead, dying, and self-replicating in the worst way, once in a while a book comes along to remind readers that there's still a lot of surprise to be found on the printed page. To be. . .
"I was small. And my village was small, I came to know that in time. But when I was small it was big for me, so big that when I had to cross it from one end to the other,. . .
A few weeks after moving into a farm house in the Welsh countryside, Emilie, an expatriate from the Netherlands, starts to think about her uncle. This uncle tried to drown himself in a pond in front of the hotel where. . .
Think back to the last adventure- or action-type book you read. Wasn't it cool? Didn't it make you want to do things, like learn to shoot a crossbow, hack complicated information systems, travel to strange worlds, take on knife-wielding thugs,. . .
In Aira's Shantytown, while we're inside the characters' heads for a good portion of the story, the voice we read on the page is really that of Aira himself, as he works out the plot of the book he's writing.. . .
Noir is not an easy genre to define—or if it once was, that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away; as a quick guess, maybe Silver Lake, Los Angeles, 1935. When two books as different as. . .
Some time ago I read this phrase: "The page is the only place in the universe God left blank for me."
Pedro Mairal's short novel The Missing Year of Juan Salvatierra is more about these blank spaces than the usual full. . .
"What if even in the afterlife you have to know foreign languages? Since I have already suffered so much trying to speak Danish, make sure to assign me to the Polish zone . . ."
So reads a typical aphoristic "poem". . .
If you somehow managed to overlook the 2012 translation of Andrés Neuman's breathtaking Traveler of the Century (and woe betide all whom continue to do so), you now have two exceptional works of fiction from the young Argentine virtuoso demanding. . .

Isotopes of lutetiumLutetium is generally considered to have two stable isotopes, although strictly speaking Lu-176 is not entirely stable with a half-life of 3.78 x 1010 years. Lu-175 can be used as a yield tracer in the ICP-MS based determination of Pu in urine. Lu-176 is used for the production of radioactive Lu-177 which is a very promising radio-immunotherapy isotope for the treatment of small, soft tumors.

Forums >General Running>Google Earth
Okay, so my technique needs a little work as evidenced by this video, but here is the idea...
1) Go out for a run with my Garmin watch
2) Export a GPX file
3) Import the same file into google earth and record the 3D flyover
4) Add a little music and some editing
5) Post to Youtube
This was a run I did in Paris the other day (vacation). The GPS points are a little out (I am not spiderman flying over buildings) and I need to do a better job of encircling the landmarks (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, etc.) so they are more visible but other than that I thought it was pretty cool.
2014 Goals
Weight - 200 lbs (currently 211)
2000 miles?
Work on stretching and flexibility an stay healthy for Boston 2014 (have a BQ -9:00 time)
Marathon - 3:10
10k - 40:00
5k - 19:00
A Dance with Monkeys
You can also slow down a touch and pan a bit wider to get the monuments.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Will try that tomorrow. Plan to hit the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, Champs D'Elysees and a few others tomorrow.
That is cool! Makes me want to try Google earth now... How do you record the 3D flyover? Is that function built into Google earth? Or is that sort of a screen cap from a video editor?
They flyover is google earth and I captured it using quicktime video capture (screen capture)
Not sure if GoogleEarth has a built in video exported but I don't think so
Loved it!!
After I import the GPX (which works as expected)...can anyone give me some pointers on how to have Google Earth start the 3D flyover of the course I just imported?
Update: Found it, all set. Off to figure how to adjust the flyover altitude.....
I would run down the lane and into the night; Run so fast I swear my feet would fly; But the smell of the world came into my lungs; The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb; And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest...
Cool Jump Suit
Awesome! I feel more cultured just having watched that. How far was your run? Were there a lot of runner's in Paris?
So bittersweetThis tragedyWon't ask for absolution;This melodyInside of meStill searches for solution;A twist of faithA change of heart Cures my infatuation;A broken heart Provides the spark For my determination.
My first attempt, the San Francisco Marathon flyover. I exported to Google Earth from GTC, then somehow, found a way to play the tour and record it with Quicktime Player New Screen Recording.
Running in Paris was pretty cool. So much to look at.
I didn't see all that many runners out when I was out but did see them at various other times of the day.
Proboscis Colossus
After I import the GPX (which works as expected)...can anyone give me some pointers on how to have Google Earth start the 3D flyover of the course I just imported? Update: Found it, all set. Off to figure how to adjust the flyover altitude.....
Well, I give up. I can't figure out how to get Google Earth to start the 3D flyover of the course I just imported.
And I'm not even hungover...
Can somebody tell me how to do this? Be really specific....When you say "export" the file....How do you do that? I upload my runs from my Garmin directly to RA....Not sure how I export them.
Marathon Maniac #6740
Goals for 2013:

Within 10 years, the number of Gen X and Y'ers in the workplace will surpass the number of baby boomers. I recently participated in an educational session on the generations at the Krisam Group's annual Executive Summit in Cancun, where breakout groups agreed to disagree about topics such as technology and office etiquette. At times, the mood grew as steamy as the Mexican summer.
If there was one common thread, it was that we all need to communicate better. The huge disconnect that exists has as much to do with the message not getting across to younger generations as it does with older generations not being willing to listen.
For example, the youngest breed of workers is used to instant messaging their friends and colleagues; their network revolves around the computer. When one twentysomething in my group mentioned that IM is an invaluable tool when you need to reach someone that second, she was met with resistance from one of the older members. She just doesn't want to learn another tool — she already has too many e-mails.
Those two won't be connecting any time soon.
Another fortysomething at the table spoke about how impersonal electronic RFPs can be and how important it is to follow up with a phone call. The twentysomething across from her went off about how much she has to do every day and the most she can manage is an e-mail, which is at least something. Another miss.
Experts say that part of the problem is that many boomers have children in their twenties and, with that, some preconceived notions about this age group. One is that these "kids" are only willing to work under the conditions they set. But as one boomer in the audience put it, what's wrong with banishing the idea of "face time" and being in the office from 9 to 5? What matters is what gets done, not when people do it. She was overwhelmed with applause not only from the younger attendees but from all those boomers in the audience who are tired of years of long hours and crazy commutes.
When I asked the audience how many people had received multigenerational training at their companies, almost no one raised their hands. How can we learn to work together if we never have these kinds of discussions? It's time to start communicating with everyone — not just the people we understand.

HE INSTIGATED Head of Patriotic Society i Says Further Attacks On • I Japanese Will Follow (Associated Press by Wireless) SHANGHAI, May 9. — Kim Koo, reported head of a Korean patriotic society, said in a statement issued here today that he was the instigator of the Hongkew bombing. Kim said he sent Yun Kil, a young Korean revolutionary, to Hongkew. Kim said Kil "achieved his purpose" and is now in the hands of the Japanese, "'He may be dead or alive." Kim said he left Shanghai before the statement was issued. "Our association seeks to kill Japanese civil and military leaders," it said. "There will be other affairs similar to that at Hongkew soon, both Japanese and Manchurian." The Japanese began the evacuation of their front line trenches today and Chinese police took over the territory. Division Withdrawn TOKYO, May 9. — The war department announced today that the 14th army division is being withdrawn from Shanghai. Four hundred Manchurian rebels are reported to have been killed in two battles with Japanese troops in northern Manchuria, a Rengo dispatch from Harbin said today. The Japanese lost 19 dead. General Nakamura's Japanese brigade occupied Fengcheng after a two days' battle against 5,000 rebels, who retreated westward, leaving 300 dead, the dispatch said. General Yoda's brigade defeated a large rebel force at Moutankiang. The rebels retreated to the east, leaving 100 dead. To Reorganize Kwantung (Special to Liberty News) HONGK.ONG, May 9.—Plans for reorganization of the Kwangtung provincial government are to be carried out in the immediate future. Hu Han-min, former president of . the legislative yuan of the Nanking government; Siew Fat-seng, formerly of Siam, and Gen. Chen Chi- tang, governor of Kwangtung, are taking the lead in the reorganization. (Special to Liberty News) SHANGHAI, May 9. — Quo Tai-' chi, chief delegate to the recent armistice conference in Shanghai, who is in the hospital after an attack by the students, has tendered his resignation as Chinese minister to Great Britain. Mr. Quo, who is vice minister of foreign a flairs, was appointed to his new post after Alfred Sze resigned. Reports from Harbin stated that troops under General Ma Chan- shan are marching southward from Suifa to attack the Japanese forces in Harbin. ANSWER TO NITOBE'S STATEMENT Editor, The Star-Bulletin. Sir: Dr. Inazo Nitobe's statement regarding the Far-Eastern situation delivered at the Oahu Country club, April 22, deviated so far from the truth that we Koreans of Kauai feel it necessary to make a reply. Dr. Nitobe "is a hired servant of the imperial government of Japan, but he is not representing the mass of people in Japan who seriously opposed Japan's military expedition to Manchuria and Shanghai. "Russian peril," Nitobe says, "menaces the peace of the world." This is a pure nonsense. When Japan invaded Manchuria September 18 last under the pretext of punishing Chinese bandits, her military forces penetrated beyond the line fixed by treaty, thus infringing the right of the Soviet Union in control of the railroad. Japan repeatedly assured the world that there would be no clash of arms between Russia and herself, yet she has sent Dr. Nitobe to the United States to make such false verification of conditions existing. It is a scheme on the part of the Japanese government to blind the eyes of American . public and silence their voice of protest elecited by her military expedition to Manchuria and Shanghai. That is the purpose of Nitobe's present mission. # KAUAI KOREAN. CHINESE CONSUL'S REPLY TO NOMURA Editor, The Star-Bulletin. Sir: To explain the Chinese side in the Shanghai "Explosion" and reply to the statement on "Japan's Angle On Trouble In China Related," by Yozo Nomura, Japanese delegate to the National and Pacific Trade convention, I have prepared the following: The so-called anti-Japanese agitation including the boycott of Japanese goods does not come up without cause. It seems to Mr. Nomura that the Chinese are born anti-Japanese and that they boycott Japanese goods without provocation. I wish to point out the fact that anti-Japanese sentiments in China have been aroused time and again only by Japanese acts of aggression. If one reads the history of Sino-Japanese rela- , tions during the past decade or so, one will find nothing but a record of Japan's repeated attempts to humiliate China. The notorious 21 demands, the Tsinan incident, the Korean massacre—these are only some of the Japanese acts that have provoked a fire of deep resentment in the hearts of the Chinese people. The present anti-Japanese boycott has been solely due to Japan's unwarranted seizure of the three eastern provinces. It is only a natural expression of indignation of the Chinese people who cannot meet the Japanese in their own way. It is the only weapon by which the Chinese hope to ward off Japanese aggression. If Japan does not like it, she has but to stop her aggression. The Chinese are a peace loving people and they have no prejudice against any nation. It should be made emphatic here that the enforcement of the country wide economic boycott against Japan is entirely a spontaneous expression of the Chinese people, uninspired by and without official direction. The alleged unprovoked assault on a small party of Japanese priests, resulting in the death of one, by a Chinese mob on January 18 does not warrant acts of aggression and military occupation of a friendly power's territory. If every other power should follow the example set by Japan because some of its nationals are assaulted or murdered in a foreign country, there would be little peace in the world. In his article.Mr. Nomura has conveniently forgotten the plain facts thrc, are detrimental to Japan's cause. When he tried to put the blame on the Chinese for the Shanghai war which all neutral observers know was started by the Japanese marines, he conveniently forgot Admiral Shiosowa's ultimatum to the Chinese troops followed by the Japanese attack less than an hour later. When he decried against Chinese propaganda, he forgot to mention the far more intensive and extensive propaganda carried on by Japan and the legions of propagandists that have been sent abroad to turn world opinion in her favor. As to the charge that Chinese soldiers fired upon the Japanese marines who were proceeding to their duty in the International Settlement, it has been established beyond a doubt by persons who are familiar with the geography of Shanghai that it is entirely unfounded. The whole world knows that the Japanese started +V«» fihonffhoi War. 9 me i act that China has laid the Shanghai case before the League of Nations shows China is peace loving. In fact, she has sought and canvassed every possible channel for an amicable settlement. She has since accepted every and all proposals from disinterested parties to bring about a settlement of the Sino-Japanese conflict. Being a member of the League of Nations, China respects its covenant and has solemnly pledged to uphold it. On the other hand, Japan has disregarded and still ignores it for no other reason than she feels strong and powerful enough to do so. She has wilfully reduced a system of peace to "scraps of paper." The Japanese say they have not declared "war." But thousands of innocent civilians, including women, children and flood refugees were ruthlessly killed. The deliberate destruction and burning of hundreds of million dollars worth of property and centers of culture and education, such as the Shanghai Commercial Press plant and the oriental library of ancient Chinese manuscripts have been committed by the Japanese in Shanghai. Could a declared war be any worse? Japan is fond of telling the world that "China is only a geographical expression," that she can not be treated as an "organized state." Mr. Nomura alleges that "there has never been in the last half century or so any regime in China worthy to be called a government." If Mr. Nomura's assertion were true, then we are at a loss to know why is it there is a Japanese minister to China. We do not want to deny the fact that there have been civil wars in China in the past, but we must bear in mind that the troubles that have occurred in China during the last 20 years were but the troubles which one would expect from a country which has made such sweeping and wonderful changes both politically and otherwise. The statement now under reply, however skillful and plausible it may be, can not win the sympathy and confidence of the world. Sympathy and confidence can be won not by word but by deed. KING CHAU MUI, Consul of China.

GNOME (pronounced /ˈnoʊm/[5] or /ɡˈnoʊm/[6]) is a desktop environment which is composed entirely of free and open-source software and targets to be cross-platform, i.e. run on multiple operating systems, its main focus being Linux kernel-based ones.
GNOME is developed by The GNOME Project, which comprises both volunteers and paid contributors, the largest corporate contributor being Red Hat.[7][8] It is an international project that aims to develop software frameworks for the development of software, to program end-user applications based on these frameworks and coordinates the efforts for internationalization and localization as well as for accessibility of that software.
GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably GNU/Linux.

GNOME Human Interface Guidelines[edit]
All GNOME programs , share a common graphical user interface (GUI). The design of this interface is dictated by concepts described by the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG).[9] The development of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines is an iterative process, which is still taking place:
" | Good designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and an active user population. | " |
The overall design of the GNOME GUI is based on own experiences and insights from the field of cognitive ergonomics. Since anybody can contribute, accessibility plays an important role in the overall design. GUADEC was founded to facilitate the interexchange of ideas.
The employment of the newest GUI widgets offered only by the cutting-edge version of GTK+ in order to implement the GNOME Human interface guidelines (HIG) as ergonomically and beautifully as possible, is the only feature, which all GNOME Core Applications have in common.
" | A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away | " |
Since GNOME 2.0, a key focus of the project has been usability. To this end, the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) were created. Following the guide, developers can create high-quality, consistent, and usable GUI programs, as it addresses everything from GUI design to recommended pixel-based layout of widgets.
During the 2.0 rewrite, many settings were deemed by the development team of little or no value to the majority of users and were removed. For instance, the preferences section of the Panel was reduced from a dialog of six tabs to one with two tabs. Havoc Pennington summarized the usability work in his 2002 essay "Free Software UI", emphasizing the idea that all preferences have a cost, and it is better to "unbreak the software" than to add a UI preference to do that:
" | A traditional free software application is configurable so that it has the union of all features anyone's ever seen in any equivalent application on any other historical platform. Or even configurable to be the union of all applications that anyone's ever seen on any historical platform (Emacs *cough*).
Does this hurt anything? Yes it does. It turns out that preferences have a cost. Of course, some preferences also have important benefits – and can be crucial interface features. But each one has a price, and you have to carefully consider its value. Many users and developers don't understand this, and end up with a lot of cost and little value for their preferences dollar. |
" |
The GNOME Project provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, a graphical user interface and core applications like Web, a simple web browser; and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop and mobile user interface.[11]
The GNOME project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things "just work" (see KISS principle).[12] The other aims of the project are:
- Freedom — to create a desktop environment with readily available source code for re-use under a free software license.
- Accessibility — to ensure the desktop can be used by anyone, regardless of technical skill or physical circumstances.
- Internationalization and localization — to make the desktop available in many languages. At the moment, GNOME is being translated to 175 languages.[13]
- Developer-friendliness — to ensure ease of writing software that integrates smoothly with the desktop, and allow developers a free choice of programming language.
- Organization — to adhere to a regular release cycle and maintain a disciplined community structure.
- Support — to ensure backing from other institutions beyond the GNOME community.
As with most free software projects, the GNOME project is loosely managed. Discussion chiefly occurs on a number of public mailing lists.[14] Developers and users of GNOME gather at an annual meeting known as GUADEC to discuss the current state of the project and its future direction.[15]
GNOME incorporates standards and programs from freedesktop.org to allow GNOME applications to better interoperate with other desktops, encouraging both cooperation and competition.
Until the release of GNOME 3.0, GNOME used the traditional computing desktop metaphor. Users can change the appearance of their desktop through the use of themes, which usually consist of an icon set, a window manager border and GTK+ theme engine and parameters. In GNOME 3 Adwaita replaced Clearlooks as the default GNOME theme. The Human Interface Guidelines help developers to produce applications that look and behave similarly to each other, which provides a cohesive GNOME experience.
GNOME has evolved from a traditional desktop metaphor to a user interface where switching between different tasks and virtual workspaces takes place in a new area called the overview. The redesigned GNOME features several main changes: released as the new interface for Gnome, GNOME Shell replaces the original GNOME Panel; Mutter replaces Metacity as the default window manager; and the minimize and maximize buttons no longer appear on the titlebar by default. Many of the default GNOME applications have also gone through redesigns to provide a more consistent and unified user experience.
In the default configuration of GNOME, the desktop has a top panel holding (from left to right) an activities button, clock, system status area and user menu. Clicking on the activities button or moving one's mouse to the top-left hot corner brings one to the overview.
- The system status area holds various system indicators, such as those for volume, Bluetooth, network, battery, and accessibility.
- The user menu holds a chat-availability indicator, shortcuts to system settings, and session actions such as logging out, switching users, locking the screen, or suspending the computer.
- The overview (accessed by clicking on the activities button in the top panel, or touching the top-left hot corner) shows the window picker, the workspace changer on the right, the dash on the left, a windows button, an applications button, and a search bar. While in the overview, users can click on the windows and application buttons just under the top panel to switch between the window picker and the application picker.
- The window picker gives users a quick overview of current activities, and provides a way to switch to other open windows or close multiple windows easily.
- The application picker provides an easy way to launch applications.
- The dash houses shortcuts to favorite applications and open windows.
The default interface also features a new system for notifications. In GNOME 3, notifications pop up from the bottom of the screen, instead of showing in the top right of the screen as in GNOME 2.x.[16]
Software architecture and components[edit]
The GNOME desktop environment is based on software and other efforts which are coordinated by a large number of different projects:
GNOME runs on the X Window System and as of GNOME 3.10 also on Wayland.[17] Current versions of GNOME are available in most Linux distributions either as the default desktop environment or as an installable option. GNOME is also available on Solaris since the Solaris Express 10/04 release and on some BSDs.[18] Currently only GNU/Linux officially supports GNOME from version 3.0 onwards however other operating systems are providing unofficial builds and are working on achieving full GNOME 3 compatibility.[19][20][21]
In May 2011 Lennart Poettering proposed systemd as a GNOME dependency.[22] As systemd is available only on Linux, the proposal led to a discussion of possibly dropping support for other platforms in future GNOME releases. Since GNOME 3.2 multiseat support has been only available on systems using systemd.[23] In November 2012 the GNOME release team concluded that systemd can be relied upon for non-basic functionality.[24]
GNOME "Platform"[edit]
- freedesktop.org – a couple of project hosted by freedesktop.org are shared with the KDE Software Compilation
- GTK+ – a widget toolkit used for constructing graphical applications. The use of GTK+ as the base widget toolkit allows GNOME to benefit from certain features such as theming (the ability to change the look of an application) and smooth anti-aliased graphics. Sub-projects of GTK+ provide object-oriented programming support (GObject), extensive support of international character sets and text layout (Pango) and accessibility (ATK). GTK+ reduces the amount of work required to port GNOME applications to other platforms such as Windows and Mac OS X.
- Clutter – its scene graph will be eventually merged into GTK+
- GLib – a bundle of five low-level system
- Intelligent Input Bus (IBus) – an input method (IM) framework for multilingual input
- GSettings – a configuration storage system
- gnome-settings-daemon – both the GNOME Shell menu and the GNOME Control Center will simply talk to it
- GVFS – a virtual file system.
- GNOME Keyring – backend for storing encryption keys and security information. Seahorse is a common frontend.
- LibXML – an XML library.
- libgd – a library on top of GTK+ used by various GNOME 3-styled applications; unstable API/ABI;
- many more
A number of language bindings are available, allowing applications to be written in a variety of programming languages, such as C++ (gtkmm), Java (java-gnome), Ruby (ruby-gnome2), C# (Gtk#), Python (PyGObject), Perl (gtk2-perl) and many others. Applications that are currently part of the official GNOME desktop release are written in C, C++, Python, Vala, Genie and Javascript.[25]
GNOME Core Applications[edit]
There are countless GTK+- and Clutter-based programs written by various authors. Since the release of GNOME 3, The GNOME Project concentrates on developing a set of programs that accounts for the GNOME Core Applications. All programs that form the GNOME Core Applications, have a certain design and the tight integration with one another in common. Some programs are simply renamed existing programs with a revamped user interface, while other were written from scratch.
The current surface of GNOME 3 is GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell obsoleted GNOME Panel. An alternative surface is, e.g. Cinnamon.
GNOME Games[edit]
GNOME Games have the look and feel of the GNOME Core Applications and are released simultaneously with GNOME. Most have been rewritten conforming to the current GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
GNOME Office[edit]
GNOME Office, in contrast to the Calligra Suite or LibreOffice, was never designed from scratch by any one team. Instead, it consist of applications, which were authored by independent individuals and have been developed by an increasing number of volunteers and GNOME developers. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GnomeOffice
- Standard: AbiWord, Evince, Evolution, Gnumeric, Inkscape and Ease
- Other: GnuCash, gLabels, GLOM and Dia
- Related: HomeBank or Grisbi for the home office
Third party GTK+ applications[edit]
There are numerous programs based on the GTK+ framework. Some of them are considered to be part of the GNOME desktop environment, even if they are not part of the GNOME Core Applications and will never be.
Release cycle[edit]
Each of the component software products in the GNOME project has its own version number and release schedule. However, individual module maintainers coordinate their efforts to create a full GNOME stable release on an approximately six-month schedule. Some experimental projects are excluded from these releases.
GNOME releases are made to the main FTP server in the form of source code with configure scripts, which are compiled by operating system vendors and integrated with the rest of their systems before distribution. Most vendors use only stable and tested versions of GNOME, and provide it in the form of easily installed, pre-compiled packages. The source code of every stable and development version of GNOME is stored in the GNOME Git source code repository.
A number of build-scripts (such as JHBuild or GARNOME) are available to help automate the process of compiling the source code.
GNOME was started in August 1997 by Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena[26] as a free software project to develop a desktop environment and applications for it.[27] It was founded in part because K Desktop Environment, an already existing free software desktop environment, relied on the Qt widget toolkit which at the time used a proprietary software license.[28] In place of Qt, the GTK+ toolkit was chosen as the base of GNOME. GTK+ uses the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL), a free software license that allows software linking to it to use a much wider set of licenses, including proprietary software licenses.[29] GNOME itself is licensed under the LGPL for its libraries, and the GNU General Public License (GPL) for its applications.[30]
The name "GNOME" was initially an acronym of GNU Network Object Model Environment, referring to the original intention of creating a distributed object framework similar to Microsoft's OLE;[31] but it was dropped, because it no longer reflected the core vision of the GNOME project.[32]
The California startup Eazel developed the Nautilus file manager from 1999 to 2001. De Icaza and Nat Friedman founded Helix Code (later Ximian) in 1999 in Massachusetts. The company developed GNOME's infrastructure and applications, and in 2003 was purchased by Novell.
GNOME 2[edit]
GNOME 2 was very similar to a conventional desktop interface, featuring a simple desktop in which users could interact with virtual objects, such as windows, icons, and files. GNOME 2 used Metacity as its default window manager. The handling of windows, applications, and files in GNOME 2 is similar to that of contemporary desktop operating systems. In the default configuration of GNOME 2, the desktop has a launcher menu for quick access to installed programs and file locations; open windows may be accessed by a taskbar along the bottom of the screen, and the top-right corner features a notification area for programs to display notices while running in the background. However, these features can be moved to almost any position or orientation the user desires, replaced with other functions or removed altogether.
GNOME 3[edit]
GNOME 3 abandoned the traditional desktop metaphor in favor of GNOME Shell. This move received mixed reaction from the user community, though the outcome is not yet clear. The MATE desktop environment, software forked from GNOME 2, aims to retain the traditional GNOME 2 interface while keeping it compatible with GNOME 3. The Linux Mint team addressed the issue in another way by developing the "Mint GNOME Shell Extensions". This led to the Cinnamon user interface, which attempts to provide a more traditional user environment based on the desktop metaphor, like GNOME 2.
In March 2013, GNOME 3.8 was released, which includes a new "Classic mode" that restores a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen, as extensions to the Shell.[33]

- Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said at the CERAWeek conference this week that the oil industry has failed to make a convincing case for why the U.S. government should allow the export of domestic oil when the U.S. still imports 5M bbl/day.
- The statement should please America's refiners, who have enjoyed increased profits from buying U.S. oil on the cheap to produce products such as gasoline.
- At the same time, Moniz went further than before in suggesting the Obama administration could redo the economic analysis that underpins its decisions on exporting American natural gas.
- Moniz also dismissed speculation that the Obama administration has in mind a hard cap on possible natural gas exports.
- Refiners: PSX, MPC, HFC, VLO, TSO, WNR, NTI, DK, CLMT, ALJ, CVI.

- Refiners mostly continue to languish after shares were hammered yesterday as the Brent-WTI spread narrowed to its tightest level since last October.
- Credit Suisse isn't too excited about the near-term outlook; while March-April could see some widening of the spread given the transfer of inventory from Cushing to the Gulf, summer crude spreads should remain tight given as East of Rockies refineries ramp up for peak gasoline demand.
- On individual stocks, the firm says Western Refining (WNR -3%) and Phillips 66 (PSX +0.1%) should benefit from other businesses, while Tesoro (TSO +1.1%) could benefit from being recognized as a "Gulf Coast Refiner" but Delek US (DK -3.5%) needs to show signs of earnings improvement before it's worth buying.

- Oil refiners are getting hit today as Brent crude falls to its lowest price in more than a week on rising tensions in Ukraine, shrinking the premium to West Texas crude to the narrowest level since October.
- Given Ukraine's location, the country's situation obviously will impact Brent more than WTI; meanwhile, WTI's losses are limited after U.S. government data yesterday showed crude supplies at Cushing, Okla., declining to a four-month low.
- Phillips 66 (PSX -2.8%) has dropped 3.5% YTD, while Delek US (DK -5.3%) has plunged 17%, Valero (VLO -4.3%) has slipped 3.8%, Holly Frontier (HFC -3.1%) has fallen 8.2% and Marathon Petroleum (MPC -4.4%) is off 8.5% in 2014.
- Other decliners today: TSO -1.5%, ALJ -5.4%, WNR -4.2%, CVI -3.4%, CLMT -0.7%.

- One of the top drivers of refiners' outperformance of late has been the expectation that U.S. crude oil prices would fall relative to Brent crude, giving a boost to their profit margins; that view is now the consensus, and Credit Suisse thinks it might be priced into refiner stocks.
- The firm downgrades refiners is sees as most exposed - Delek US (DK), Western Refining (WNR) and Phillips 66 (PSX) - to Market Perform from Outperform on signs that oil prices could be stronger than the market expects.
- It cites five factors: Overall refining runs in the East of Rockies region are higher; crude inventories are lower; crude imports have fallen; maintenance likely will be down Y/Y; and a temporarily slower trajectory of domestic production growth may occur due to the normal winter impacts.

- "Options markets suggest this will be one of the most important earnings seasons in 10 years for stock pickers given low expected correlation and limited pre-positioning," says Goldman analyst John Marshall.
- "We expect outsized profitability for call buying strategies on single stocks this quarter," he adds, noting options markets are actually pricing in a lower earnings-day move than any time on record for the average stock. "We expect earnings surprises to spark unexpectedly large stock moves."
- The average earnings-day move last quarter was 3.5x as large as the average daily move, he says, greater than any other time in the past 17 years.
- Goldman analysts see above-consensus reports from KORS, RYL, TIF, EOG, PXD, WNR, BBT, BX, LAZ, STI, BMY, THC, CMI, DOW, STZ, ARUN, OLED, QCOM, and XLNX.

- Chevron's (CVX -1.9%) earnings guidance isn't impressing investors; it expects Q4 profit to be "comparable" with Q3 when it posted net income of $4.95B, but analyst consensus had estimated Q4 to come in at $5.69B.
- Unlike last year, when CVX's refining business was a drag on earnings while its upstream business was strong, now refining is providing the boost - good news for Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.1%) and refiners, Morgan Stanley says.
- MS thinks most U.S. refiners will show a Q/Q improvement in capture rates, helping XOM more than CVX due to its significantly more absolute North American refining capacity; marketing margins also are improving sharply, a positive indicator for refiners with retail operations such as Marathon Petroleum (MPC), Tesoro (TSO), Phillips 66 (PSX), Western Refining (WNR) and Delek US (DK).

- The energy sector - especially refiners - leads the stock market higher today even as crude oil trades lower, with Phillips 66 (PSX +3.2%) contributing to the strength after Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire its flow improver business (I, II).
- Berkshire's acquisition would seem to point to the next logical step for Warren Buffett's empire building in the energy sector: investing in pipelines and, at the other end, the refineries that stand to benefit most from them.
- Today's refining stalwarts: VLO +3.7%, MPC +3.8%, HFC +2%, TSO +3.4%, WNR +3.1%, CVI +2.9%, ALJ +2.8%, NTI +2.8%.

- Shrinking crude spreads - WTI has gained 7.2% while Brent has risen just 1.7% so far in December - likely will hold back refiners during the first six months of 2014, Cowen's Sam Margolin says.
- Extremely favorable refining conditions from last month are deteriorating amid higher utilization and continued reduction in crude imports, limiting supply and causing U.S. prices to melt higher, the firm explains, adding that investors need to "manage near-term expectations" while "remain(ing) constructive on the refining story for 2014."
- Margolin keeps Outperform ratings for Western Refining (WNR +4%), Marathon Petroleum (MPC +2.6%), Tesoro (TSO +0.4%), Valero (VLO +1.4%) and PBF Energy (PBF +1.7%); HollyFrontier (HFC +2.4%), Delek (DK +2.3%), Northern Tier (NTI +0.6%), Alon USA (ALJ +1.7%) and Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT +3.8%).

- Tesoro (TSO -1.8%) apparently didn't offer enough good news at yesterday's analyst day, as shares tumble despite the general perception from the meeting as "incrementally positive."
- The key messages in the meeting surrounded progress of the synergy capture from the Carson acquisition, continued margin improvement through feedstock and product optimization and driving additional logistics growth.
- TSO sees rail unloading capacity along the U.S. west coast for North Dakota crude oil growing to nearly 1M bbl/day through 2015; TSO's $100M rail-to-barge project in Washington is the largest of the offloading projects announced so far.
- Imperial Capital raises its TSO price target TSO to $63 from $57, and Howard Weil lifts its target to $66 from $62.
- Other refiners are lower too: VLO -1.3%, PSX -0.7%, MPC -1.8%, WNR -2.6%, HFC -1.6%, ALJ -1%, NTI -0.2%, DK -1.9%, CLMT -2.7%.

- Refiners such as Marathon Petroleum (MPC +4.9%) and Valero (VLO +4%) are surging today, and Barron's Ben Levisohn says it's all about the oil spread.
- While Brent crude has stayed steady for the last three months, trading at ~$109/bbl, WTI has dropped 12% to ~$94; the more expensive Brent is relative to WTI, the better it is for U.S. refiners.
- VLO, for example, has gained 17% during the past three months, and much of its price has followed the Brent-WTI spread.
- Also: PSX +2.1%, TSO +2.7%, HFC +3.2%, WNR +4.3%, ALJ +5.2%, ALDW +1.3%, CLMT +2.6%, CVI +1.3%.

- Western Refining (WNR +2.8%) is upgraded to Buy from Neutral with a $41 target price, up from $34, at UBS, which sees material upside to its upwardly revised sum-of-the-parts derived price target.
- UBS views yesterday's announcement that WNR acquired the general partner interest in Northern Tier (NTI) as a clear endorsement by management of the variable MLP structure.
- Variable MLP refiners NTI and CVR Refining trade at 6.7x and 7.8x normalized EV/EBITDA multiples, the firm says, well above the 4.3x average multiple of the c-corp coverage universe and WNR's 3.3x; as such, it's not a matter of if but when before WNR ultimately contributes its El Paso and Gallup refinery to NTI's existing variable MLP structure.

- Goldman Sachs says Western Refining's (WNR +7.2%) move to acquire a 38.7% stake in Northern Tier Energy (NTI +1.1%) is good for both companies, reiterating Buy ratings.
- WNR gains access to NTI's St. Paul Park refinery, which has direct access to cost-advantaged Bakken and Canadian crude oils, the firm says.
- For NTI, at a minimum the share overhang from its previous P-E owners is now eliminated; while awaiting more details on whether WNR plans to set up an MLP for its existing wholly-owned refineries, "the potential certainly exists for NTI to benefit from greater asset diversification while remaining a MidCon pure-play."

Yegua Creek COE
[ 6/10 ]
Nice COE park scheduled for updates this winter. Restrooms were rustic but reasonable clean considering that and the shower was nice and warm. The best waterfront sites do not have electricity. We stayed 3 days at a waterfront site with electricity but with limited access to the water. We had hoped to be able to tie up our boat but there was too much tall, tall grass to do that so we had to launch every time we went out. Had luck catching catfish. The $9.00 rate is the half price senior federal pass rate.
Matagorda, Texas
Matagorda Bay Nature Park
[ 7/10 ]
Park was OK, site almost level but not quite. Office has short hours but camp host is available. It was hot when we were there and mosquitoes and biting flies were a problem. Fishing was poor. Nature center is very small. If we go back it will be during the winter when it is cooler and pests are not so annoying.
San Antonio, Texas
Admiralty RV Resort
[ 5/10 ]
Camped 3 nights because very near to Sea World and to public express bus service downtown. Park was clean and otherwise as expected for an older park. We were disappointed that the shuttle to Sea World did not run regularly as we had been led to believe. There is only one time to go to Sea World and two options for pick up daily. The pickup times miss the last shows of the day. So be aware! We walked and it was a long walk (over a mile) without sidewalks. There is hourly public bus service so if you time it just right you can take that. Other complaint was that the shower in the women room was cold water only. Staff was grouchy on Friday but friendly on Sunday so maybe just a bad day? We will look elsewhere before going back again.

We had booked to stay at Casa Club Hostel. However, on arrival we were told that the hostel had decided not to open for the season and we were directed to a near by hostel. We had not been informed of such a closure, nor given any prior notice of the new hostel we were due to stay in.

The place was quite dirty, the mattress were old and dirty, as were the beds. The rooms were very hot so you need to let the windows open, but it was very loud outside because there is a bar with live music downstairs. In my opinion, this has to be either a club or either a hostel, . The staff was nice and they did their best, but I will never recommend this place.
