This tutorial is for all Joomla! versions newer than
This tutorial is designed to teach developers how to create an update server for integration with the update system introduced in Joomla! 1.6. By adding an update server listing to your extension's manifest, developers enable users to update their extensions via the Extension Manager's Update view with only a few clicks.
In order to use this feature, an update server must be defined in your extension's manifest. This definition can be used in all Joomla! 1.6 and newer compatible extensions but is not available for templates. You can use two options for your server type; collection or extension. These will be explained in detail shortly. This code should be added to the extension manifest file, within the root "extension" element. The update server is defined as follows for each type:
<server type="collection">http://example.com/list.xml</server>
<server type="extension" priority="2" name="My Extension's Updates">http://example.com/extension.xml</server>
Multiple servers can be defined within the <updateservers> tag.
The collection server type allows developers to define an extension's manifest to pull updates from a collection. This type of server can be used if the developer wants to define all of their extension's updates in a single file (not recommended) or if their extension has multiple sub-extensions which are not distributed or updated at the same time (such as a package extension type). The below example is the collection definition used by the updater when processing core Joomla! updates:
<extensionset name="Joomla Core" description="Joomla! Core">
<extension name="Joomla" element="joomla" type="file" version="1.7.0" detailsurl="http://update.joomla.org/core/extension.xml"/>
All definitions must be defined between <extensionset> tags in your collection manifest. The <extensionset> tag has two optional parameters; name and description. For each extension that this collection references, a separate <extension> tag is required. The <extension> tag has the following parameters, all of which are required for updates to properly process:
The extension server type allows developers to define an extension's manifest to pull updates from a single extension's manifest. All collection manifests eventually point to this XML file. All updates in this file must be defined after an <updates> tag at the beginning of the file. The below example is the update definition for the Joomla! 1.7.0 release:
<name>Joomla! 1.7</name>
<description>Joomla! 1.7 CMS</description>
<infourl title="Joomla!">http://www.joomla.org/</infourl>
<downloadurl type="full" format="zip">http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/15279/66552/Joomla_1.6.5_to_1.7.0_Package.zip</downloadurl>
<maintainer>Sam Moffatt</maintainer>
<targetplatform name="joomla" version="1.6"/>
The following section describes the elements of a single update entity.
<targetplatform name="joomla" version="4.0" min_dev_level="0" max_dev_level="1"/>
A separate <update> definition will be required for each version of your extension you release.
The values of element, type, client_id and folder should match those in the table #__extensions.
Important for plugins: Plugins have to include <folder> and <client> elements to work properly
sql/updates/mysql) does not get executed during the update process, it could be because there is no version number in the
#__schemas table for this extension prior to the update. This value is determined by the last script name in the SQL updates folder. If this value is blank, no SQL scripts will be executed during that update cycle. To make sure this value is set correctly, make sure you have a SQL script in this folder with its name as the version number (for example, 1.2.3.sql if the version is 1.2.3). The file can be empty or just have a SQL comment line. This should be done in the old version -- the one before the update. Alternatively, you can add this value to the
#__schemas using a SQL query.
Maintaining your update server files can be difficult depending on the manner in which you set up your files. An extension which can help you to maintain this is the Akeeba Release System, available free of charge from https://www.akeebabackup.com

Technically, this is in NJ but it's just outside Port Jervis. One of my personal favorites.
Rt. 23 over the mountain is good fun too.

Google Maps was acting up and wouldn't let me create the custom size map. Use the minus button on the map to zoom out and you'll see the whole route. Looks pretty straight but doesn't ride that way.
Excellent! This is the "stuff" I'm lookingg for. Anyone have more?

7 Lakes Parkway thru Harriman State Park between Sloatsburg, NY (rt. 17) and Bear Mountain Parkway. Going in either direction is very nice. A lot of different ways to go on that road depending on what you do at the numerous roundabouts. Nice picnic and cold lake swimming too.
Make sure you pull off and take Perkins Drive just off 7 Lakes for a long road climb up to the Observation Tower and look-out. A favorite spot for motorcycles and sports cars. Stunning views of the Hudson Valley.
For upper Hudson take the Taconic Parkway up to Rhinebeck/Red Hook area. Very pretty.

Head over to Danbury and take rt. 7 north. It has been voted one of the best drives in America.
Another one of my favorites is heading across the river and out through Pine Island and if time permits down in the Poconos before hopping on I-84 and heading back home.
The book, Great American Motorcycle Tours has one tour titled Hudson River Valley Run that looks like what you are looking for. Basically, it starts in Tarrytown and crosses the Hudson to Nyack and goes north, crossing back over to the east side at bear Mountain Bridge and continues mostly on Rte 9 north to Saratoga Springs. The stretch between Rhinebeck and Interstate 90 it moves further East and uses the Taconic Parkway, then following Int 90 westbound, across the river again and then north to Saratoga Springs. The book is well worth purchasing as it not only lists but explains in detail the scenic, historic, and inns and restaurants as well as other area attractions. There are tours in the book for the entire country and approx 10 of them are east of the Missisippi. There are also other books in the series devoted to just certain areas of the USA, north, south, east and west.
Just ordered that book off Amazon. Loving alll the sugestions. I want to try to string them together into a few different loops, scenic, twisty, etc.

You can also try some of the roads through the Catskill Mountains. Most are good.
Rt 23a from Palenville to Haines Falls - lots of twisty turns - sometimes lot of people too.
Rt 23a from Haines Falls to Prattsville
Rt 23 from Cairo to Prattsville (lots of radar on Rt 23 from Catskill to Cairo)
Rt 28 from Kingston to the western Catskills
Rt 214 from Phoenicia to Hunter
Rt 296 from Windham to Hunter
Rt 47 from Big Indian to Ellenville
Rt 42 from Rt 28 to Rt 23a
The roads around and over the Ashokan Reservoir
Roads around the other reservoirs are good too.
Lots of smaller roads are great too.
Lower down, you can try the road from High Falls over Mohonk to New Paltz. Lots of twisty turns.
Don't forget to watch for deer.
If you want an overnight trip, try the loop through the Adirondacks, or pass bagging in Vermont.

You are right if you are talking about specific parts of a video card like third-party video decoders and such.
And besides, optimizing a driver is not cheating. Intel is just not putting as much energy in optimizing the Linux drivers.
And what is wrong with placing a dirty hack in the driver you develop on your own? Practically speaking, nouveau was full of hacks since the developers were still figuring things out on how to handle it. After a big rewrite in the kernel, libdrm and mesa things are starting to look 'nice'. A very nice example is this commit (link!). It is a hack because it will not work under all states of the world. But it works!
This was a comparison for OpenGL rendering on Windows and Linux on Intel hardware. If you can't tell if a lower performance is caused by a well known, but unpredictable, performance regression in Unity or if lower performance is indeed caused by the Linux Intel driver the whole article is missing the point totally and therefore nothing but a waste of time.
The astonishing thing is that this was told to Michael several times, but it seems that he does not understand that.
Yep, this thread is troll
1) Like its a big surprise, that windows is faster in everything than linux... lioooool
2) Linux cant be really tested for gaming, because it doesnt have any real top games to be tested, same few shitty low level games are being tested like for 50 years... who fkin cares about ice age gaming in linux...
2.1) steam for linux still didnt do much in linux gaming for now, it still doesnt have any great games like "call of duty : blackcops 2" or "need for speed most wanted 2012", just some primitives game for babies... for this situation to change, it will take many years, i mean, it will take at least 10 years for first big games to appear in linux, and it will be just a few top games, not like hundreds of games that are available for windows right now
3) linux isnt developed for being number one, it is made for learning purposes, so the situation about gaming in linux wont change.
Great benchmark Michael! I agree with others that the games benchmarked (Open Arena, Xonotic, etc) are very relevant to a driver comparison, because you want to keep the same codepath (openGL) and reduce the number of different variables as much as possible when looking at driver performance between two distinct platforms.
Also, to those saying Intel Gfx are irrelevant... Intel has the best OSS graphics drivers of any gfx manufacturer. Would you prefer to see a comparison of Radeon OSS vs Windows Catalyst? We all know who would win that one.
ofcource even windows 8 has better performance than ubuntu. ubuntu is slow as hell compared to other distros and specially source based ones like gentoo.
i get over 3 times better graphics performance in gentoo than on ubuntu, so no. this test dosent show at all that windows 8 has better performance than linux. only that it has better than ubuntu.
As shown in other more recent Phoronix tests, most of the Unity/Compiz overhead has been eliminated with the latest Raring packages... As used in this benchmark. But for those in disbelief that the Linux OpenGL performance can lose to Windows, I'll happily run some more tests from Xfce and KDE on this laptop to show those results...
Michael Larabel
If you decide to test XFCE or KDE (personally I think XFCE is a better test, even though I like KDE more) and people still don't stop whining about your work then just put them on a "graylist" where you don't have to ban them but you know to automatically dismiss their comments as "insatiable".

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love it!
We loved the design and the ability to personalize all of the fonts and colors. The magnet is good quality, and they look exactly like we thought they would. Packaging it was shipped in was an adorable box, which made it feel special. Also love that we got them during a 40% off magnets sale!
Great customer servce
Overall a huge fan of Magnet Street- their discounts are great and they really helped us stick to our budget. But more importantly the customer service is amazing- I ordered a product that needed a last minute change and someone helped me stop the production at the last second to make the edit. I then had to reorder our ceremony programs due to a sudden death and needed to add someone to the loving memory section. Magnet Street gave us a 50% discount on the reorder and walked us through the changes over the phone. It is so great that they understood our unfortunate circumstances.
Beautiful and feels like high quality
I've used Magnet Street for Save the Dates, invites, response cards, and programs now and used a promotion code every time -- each product has been exactly what I wanted at a reasonable cost.
Great finished product, slow formatting process
My fave thing about Magnet Street is that you can alter almost EVERYTHING on the invitation. I was able to keep the funky layout, but format the info to fit my needs. Another exciting feature was that I got to change the colors in the design! Most invitation sites don't let you do that. The only negative experience I had with Magnet Street was with the editing program. It was slow to respond when dealing with text and sometimes refused to work at all. However, with a little patience and time I was able to figure it out. Overall, I didn't mind figuring out the odd formatting program, because I got exactly what I wanted in the end. Also, the customer service people are very nice and extremely helpful. I will definitely be sharing this site with my family and friends.
Looks perfect
We chose to change the color of these cards to match our wedding colors, the result was perfect! We stuck with most of the recommended wording but changed some things to reflect our event. There was plenty of room to also add our wedding website to help give guests more information without cluttering the invitiation or spending more on additional inserts, etc. After playing with the idea of making our own invitations to save money I am so glad that we chose to go this route instead, they have a lovely weight and are very clean and professional, the printing and artwork detail is gorgeous!- totally worth it.

Manchester commission suggests Increasing stipends, mayor's pay
The commission met on Wednesday for its final meeting to approve the document, after state officials approved the preliminary charter amendment it submitted in April.
"Nothing the commission will or can do will change that the preliminary report was deemed adopted on a failed motion for unanimity, that preliminary report contained items that were not only not approved by the commission, but never discussed by it, and that the Letter of Attestation falsely affirmed the preliminary reports content," Girard wrote in a letter to commission Chairman Jerome Duval.
Proposed changes
The following nine proposed charter changes can only be approved or rejected in their entirety:
• Raise the mayor's salary from $68,000 to $100,000.
• Remove the provision that allows the budget approval process to extend out to June 30; the budget must be completed by the second Tuesday in June.
• Increase the number of election postings from three to eight, 30 days before both a primary and general municipal election.
• To file as a candidate or hold elective office (for the boards of aldermen and school committee), a person must be a resident of the city for at least one year.

Dieselpunk is basically considered a variant of steampunk rather than something fundamentally separate. Cyberpunk was a term bandied about in the early 1980's which was then applied to the works of a whole group of authors, predominantly William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, as a literary movement of its time with the works having similar thematic and stylistic material -- young people, alienation through technology, rebellion, noir suspense, etc. Such works had been done before and were also part of the New Wave literary movement in SF, but the term referred to a specific group of authors deliberately exploring the same territory in the same stylistic and thematic approach -- punk (as in the music/lifestyle/art) with technology and noir. The term was later more broadly applied, also becoming a market sub-category, but the main literary movement has continued and developed into post cyberpunk movements.
Steampunk was originally a joking reference created by K.W. Jeter to refer to works that he, Tim Powers, James Blaylock and some others were doing in both SF and fantasy. These authors, though, again, formed a literary movement of their time -- the mid-late 1980's -- of similar stylistic and thematic approach that was parallel to but rather less punkish than cyberpunk, and as other authors entered into this area, especially for alternate history, it became a more definite movement based on using historical periods and interjecting anachronistic and futuristic technology into them to look at human interaction with technology and social upheaval (again parallel with cyberpunk.) It's the contrast of modern and old tech together stylistically -- which is different from cyberpunk -- that then caught on in fashion, jewelry and design. Punk became the go-to word for dividing stories up not into literary movements but into sub-categories based on the content of the tech. So we got not only dieselpunk for the World War era settings directly from steampunk, but other groupings of content like biopunk, splatterpunk, etc. Some of these sub-categories have stylistic and thematic aspects of their own, like splatterpunk, but others, like biopunk and dieselpunk, don't.
Dieselpunk is essentially steampunk pushed to a slightly later industrial age. So if you want to be very specific about the content of a book, you can say a novel set in WWII or I is dieselpunk as opposed to one set in the Victorian age. But as movements, dieselpunk is just a sub-set of steampunk. Likewise, a secondary world story can be steampunk if it sets up a medievalish world that nonetheless has industrial, technological or futuristic tech in that world, or if the imaginary world is similar in industrial tech to the Restoration, Victorian, early WWII, etc. but with odd, futuristic tech mixed in. You can also manage a dystopian post-apoc world, like Revolution, that has a mix of technologies, ranging from futuristic (the stuff that turned lights out,) to steam power in the loss of electricity. The sensibility of the story thematically is dealing with that mish mash of tech as a major focus of the story, etc., and including steam-era tech such as steam engines, airships, winding clockworks. Thematically, steampunk goes for swashbuckle and adventure more than punk rebellion of youth and noir style, although steampunk can be noir or horror and is concerned with major social shifts related to technology. So Leviathan, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow are generally considered part of the steampunk movement, even though they are not set in a steam-heavy era.
Steampunk and derivatives are also in some ways shielded in story world from any extinction by our love of time travel. Steampunk is mixing up tech of different time periods or alternate time periods or invented time periods (secondary worlds, post-apoc, etc.) and this is related to time travel in which tech can switch periods and many steampunk stories involve time travel in some way, and of course alternate dimensions. So steampunk continues to be popular as a stylistic and visual aesthetic in general culture and as a literary movement in story-telling with derivatives such as decopunk, cattle punk and diselpunk, well connected with time travel, multiverses and alternate history as plot/setting concepts. And in the last five years it has had an expansion because of the general expansion in fantasy including historical fantasy, renewed growth in SF where alternate history has remained strong, expansion for more areas in YA fiction, and an interest in industrial historical settings for movies and television. Right now they're trying to launch a steampunk t.v. series with an interactive Web component called Lantern City. So again, I'd put steampunk in the growing healthy, not dying on the vine level. It's also become a totally not unusual but very attractive design style, separate from the thematic ideas of the literary movement.

I accept wholly that Dieselpunk is an off-shoot of Steampunk, but I think aesthetically and stylistically they're different things. Dieselpunk, in my opinion, is much less "clean" than Steampunk, so instead of dirigibles with steam trails, you'll have these big, heavy diesel engines belching out thick black smoke. Leviathan, to go back to that book, had diesel-powered walkers (including a MASSIVE one) and Tesla energy.
It's a subtle change (only, what 40-50 years of history?), but I think the end result is so much different.
One thing is certain, though. A lot of the alt-history punks have a rather worrying love for Britishness.

I don't like steampunk... it kinda sucks as a setting, and beyond that, there is nothing else.
Victoriana! ... but without the guilt trips.
Technology! ... but incredibly one note & distorted for the setting. Cogs. Cogs everywhere.
Alternate History! ... but only ever using england in the 1800-900.
It's just plain victory of style over substance, especially because the setting is one of the most variable things about a authors work.
There are authors that try to introduce other worldbuilding strands with a bit of steampunk (the Clan Corporate by Stross comes to mind - pity that series sucks for being a very extended hubris parable), but then you see that steampunk is just ... a kind of parody of a real setting - it needs to be toned down to be mixed with anything else.

Is the author writing what s/he likes or trying to write for a market?
I read Difference Engine. It was merely OK. I do not doubt that a great steampunk novel could be written that I would really enjoy, but I would not investigate works just because they are steampunk. But I won't read a story just because it involves aliens either.
November 22nd, 2012, 01:35 PM #37
When it comes to Steampunk or any genre or sub genre at the end of the day of the day it all depends on the story. There are terrible steampunk stories and there are really good ones. There are terrible fantasy stories and there are very good fantasy stories. The same goes for romance, scifi, or any other genre you can think of. The mistake that a few steampunk authors make (a few, not all) in my opinion is that they place style over substance. I've read books where the wacky mad scientist's invention get's more development than any of the main characters or even the plot itself. But other genres, especially in other scifi genres, fall victim to that as well. But I assure you, there are other steampunk novels worth reading with all the wonderful plot and characters that most readers love and follow.

The thing is, steampunk is kinda of a limited genre. Unlike cyberpunk (which is basically the granddaddy of them all), it's doesn't actually play to the strengths of SF for social commentary/cool concepts, but a very very restricted alternate history setting with utterly boring technology (or unrealistic ones, like robots made of cogs and steel engines).
And this 'alternate history' element is so restricted and so ****ing british-upper-class-tendencies that it bores me to death.
The whole frigging subgenre is a variation of 'XXXXXX in BRITAIN', if the XXXXXX had a investement account on the east india company and a hobby for building steam engines.
Where 'it' diverges from this, it's normally someone being 'cute', by excizing/changing that alternate history element/adding something alien to the pure subgenre/being part of the weird movement.
Iron Dragon's Daughter which i'm sure is one of the books you're thinking, is one of those books i'd say is 'no longer steampunk' (i didn't even like it though). The forms of steampunk i find more tolerable change the alt-history setting from the industrial revolution in britain ur-example.
Besides, cosplayers are embarrasing.
On the other hand, i kinda want to like time travel stories of 'society from the future living changing a primitive society', or just less fetishized technological alt-hist (Northland).

I can't speak to how narrow or wide in scope steampunk novels tend to be, since I haven't read much steampunk at all (I will say that what I have read hasn't captivated me enough to read past the first one or two chapters). But the potential for wide-scope and social commentary are certainly there.
Here's a question: As I'm no longer fond of reading Victorian era writing style, I wonder how much steampunk is written in more contemporary writing styles, and what steampunk fans think of that?
November 23rd, 2012, 09:29 PM #41
Much of the best steampunk is comedic, and that seems the most fruitful approach. The founders Kat mentioned, Jeter, Blaylock, Powers, mostly (or entirely) played it for delicious humor. Their work is a sort of spoof of the old Ripping Yarns school, with some anachronistic tech thrown in for the giggles.

This thread belongs in the Fantasy forum, maybe the SF folks wouldn't go all to arms about their strong dislike for the sub-genre.
I love steampunk. Love it so much, that I have a steampunk setting for my primary writing project. It can and does work, maybe not for every individual, but individuals hated the Lord of the Rings as well. If the story is good, the writing is good, and the steampunk setting fits with the story and plot, then I don't see the problem.
People that complain about steampunk being 'silly' miss the point, if you ask me. It's NOT about the science. If you find that absurd, then almost anything being written in the SFF genre must be as well. Magic does not make sense. Much of the science doesn't make sense. Many times the plot doesn't make sense. Characters don't make sense.
Sorry, no intention to offend anyone, but please don't paint the 'death' of steampunk as a fact, or an absolute, because that is categorically untrue. Shocked that no one has mentioned Chris Wooding's excellent series, the first being Retribution Falls. Or is that possibly because it is discussed in the Fantasy section and not so much here?

Fair enough, Wulfen. Like I said way back:

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking of SP as fantasy... unless you automatically consider any alternate universe-type content to be fantasy... and, by extension, quite a bit of SF. I did a quick scan looking for Steampunk threads, but I don't recall coming across many by name in any forum. (Hmm... did I actually check in fantasy/horror? Now I don't recall.)
(Edit: Okay, doing my search again, I saw 2 threads in Fantasy and 3, including this one, in SF, mentioning SP. So, not exactly brimming over in fantasy either.)
Of course, if the thread was named after a SP book whose name I didn't recognize, I would've missed it anyway.
So, if steampunk isn't about the science, what is it about?

Are These Delays Detrimental?
For people who do not qualify for subsidized insurance or Medicaid, this could mean they would have to wait another full year for affordable health care — which is a problem. But others say it may be a "good" thing for now because it means companies won't have to lay off workers, implement hiring freezes or reduce workers' hours as they threatened to do, if they had to insure their workers.

Is your data management strategy getting out of hand? Focus on streamlined product selection, updated network design, and appropriate target selection to improve cost and performance.
Is your data management strategy getting out of hand? Focus on streamlined product selection, updated network design, and appropriate target selection to improve cost and performance.
Is threat intel the best way to stay ahead of new and complex attacks? The 397 respondents to our new survey seem to think so: 85% say threat intelligence plays some role in their IT security strategies, and many of them subscribe to two or more third-party feeds; 10% leverage five or more.
A new spirit of experimentation is in the air: For the first time in years, more companies are trying out multiple analytical tools rather than standardizing on a few favored ones. Data quality and ease of use remain the toughest challenges. The key question: Will buyers look for simpler or smarter tools for big data analytics?
Feeling a bit out of control when it comes to your big data platform? It is possible to serve the needs of multiple departments while still giving business units autonomy over their own operational software, securely. Here's how.
Our most recent survey assessing federal IT priorities for fiscal year 2015 shows that government agencies are focusing more on security, but they're still behind the times when it comes to cloud use, data center consolidation, and overall IT innovation.
Call it consumerization, BYOD, or just the way you do business. The walls are down between corporate-issued and employee-owned devices. Our new survey yielded some surprises: VDI is gaining popularity, and HTML is key for new apps. Not so surprising? BlackBerry use is dropping like a stone.
Big data is here, and analysis is just as critical for government agencies as it for tech startups. We look at three key questions agencies developing a data analysis strategy must consider.
More than 500 respondents weighed in on their plans for DevOps, Agile, APIs, automation, and more. While traditional languages slide, newer options are filling the gaps. Meanwhile, everything from project management to automated deployment is happening more in the cloud. It's an exciting time - but could we be moving too fast?
Tech employers say good people are hard to find. Job hunters see a broken hiring process. Both sides need to shake their frustration and find new ways to connect.
Steps to take this year: Choose providers with an eye to standards. Think hard about hybrid. Do not ignore Docker. Don't trust, verify security and performance. Find DevOps disciples and let them drive cloud strategy.
As we pull out of a difficult time in our nation's financial history, government agencies struggle to meet information technology demands. Agencies must focus on the cloud and a strong information governance program to avoid the sort of attention recently focused on the IRS.
Agencies have a wider array of platform options than ever, yet progress is still slow. The problem? Cultural resistance to cloud. Here's how FedRAMP and a hybrid model can help.

Fixes and Enhancements
This release includes the following enhancements:
When you schedule a new visit and then modify the related call information, the newly created visit is now correctly associated with the call after synchronization.
When you try to update a visit on the client that has been deleted from the server, the system now displays an error message "Visit does not exist for the call. Please re-enter" after synchronization. The system also deletes the visit from the client and discards any changes you have made to it.
The system now allows you to specify a visit date prior to the current date when you create a new visit on the client.
After you order multiple serialized items on a single MO line, consume some of them on the client, and then perform a synchronization, the system now records the correct quantity of remaining MO items to consume in Call Recording Activity on the server side.
After you change visit information, selecting Menu|Call Activity no longer causes exceptions.
When you consume some items on an MO in Call Activity Report and leave the visit open, the CAR Form now reflects the correct item quantity available to consume on the MO after synchronization.
Expense date and call status specified on the Completion tab are now displayed on the FSR.
Engineer sort name is now truncated from 33 to 28 characters.
The parts order creation function now supports multiple languages and recognizes the language associated with the item number you enter and displays corresponding item descriptions.
Passwords are now encrypted in QXtend logs and alert mails.
The item quantity now defaults to one in the Return tab. Previously, only the quantity of serialized items defaulted to one.

That's straight and forward and not sneaking out.
Later in the very same post I wrote: Once users get GNOME applications into their hand which they cannon minimize under other DEs (Plasma Desktop or whatever) because minimizing is not something that fits into GNOME Shells workflow, a shitstorm will break out.
You wrote On Wayland, window decorations will be standardized by your DE. All KDE apps will still look the same. All Gnome apps will look the same. The part of my post I just quoted points out the exact problem with 'KDE apps have their own window decorations and GNOME apps have their own window decorations.'
Are you incapable of understanding basic English? Seems that way. Learn English first before replying to any of my posts. It's not my job to explain everything twice for people with lacking English skills.

Saw that 535k........nice!
Hope this was a rise going into some good news tomorrow at the conference....a back to back pop would be nice for a change.
LMCA down this am
Apparently Frear nor Maffei had anything noteworthy to say today. I decided nonetheless to get back in this game when the charts I watch gave a reasonable buy signal going into today. I'm somewhat impressed that SIRI held up as well as it did considering the overall down market............ Perhaps my newly-acquired 20K shares will pay off in the near future.
I've been back in the woodwork since cashing out a few months ago, but have kept a close eye on chatter here, which is basically why I felt okay to get back on board today.
PS. I saw the report on COS a day or two ago, and like many others here, I echo the praise for his knowledge and contribution to the SIRI investor community. I too wish for him to make a full and speedy recovery......... Thanks to whomever relayed that news from the "farmer".......... that really takes us back a few years.

As I wrote in the other thread, though it was still enjoyable I didn't much like the changes they made to the prologue.
I mean, was there really any actual reason it needed to be changed? I can envision the sequence in my mind and I think the actual way GRRM wrote it is more gripping than what they did. And the Others seemed more bad-horror-film than anything else.
Too early to judge, but I'm kind of iffy on it. At least the part with the Starks was well done

Maybe the writers/directors/whoever thought they'd have a hard time hooking people without the mangled bodies, the never-happened decapitation-and-head-toss, and the young lad who faced his death like a man...
And for the sake of canon, would an Other EVER let someone run from them? Gared only got away because he wasn't there.
Just for clarification, I liked it and I'll watch it, I'm just a little baffled by the unnecessary (so far as we know for now) changes.
And yes, I'm nitpicking. It's my right as an anonymous forum user

They changes were fairly minor and probably made in the interest of saving time. I guess my biggest problem was probably the head toss and letting Will get away. But if you throw a sword fight in there it adds more time. They have alot to fit into 10 episodes.
April 5th, 2011, 04:29 AM #14
I cracked, and watched it tonight.
LOVED IT! Oh man... the production values were better than I hoped. The prologue was intensely creepy. Sean Bean RULES. Arya is PERFECT. The scenery around Winterfell was GORGEOUS (even if there was no snow). Overall I was very impressed with everything I saw, and can't wait for the show to begin.
Having followed the production for almost 2 years, I've already read online debates for dozens of controversies and nitpicks over every single trailer and photo that has been released so far. At this point, I'm sick of it and really have no interest in hearing any more nitpicking. I've already accepted the inevitable changes, and am going to enjoy the show for what it is.
It is a shame, though, that we weren't able to get the full 12 episodes they were hoping for. I think the thing I'll miss most is certain bits of dialogue that will be cut or compressed. For instance, the execution scene was missing my all time favourite Ned Stark quote: "If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you can not do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. [...] A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is."
April 5th, 2011, 06:05 AM #15
There will be opportunity for him to revisit that dialogue later on perhaps.

VB's 2007 series, Heart of Greed, was successful enough to commission this series. In June 2007, Louise Lee presented on the Heart of Greed (溏心) chatroom that the producers had already begun to write another series with the same actors but a different story line. Details about the new series were leaked by the media in October 2007 and Lau Kar Ho, the director, writer and producer of the series, vowed to catch the person who leaked this information because few people knew about the new series. The sales presentation clip was released on November 19, 2007. The clip gave clues about the new series which featured Michelle Yim as the new villain and a mooncake business instead of the abalone business in Heart of Greed.[1] New cast members included Kate Tsui, Lee Heung Kam, Vincent Wan and Wayne Lai.

Rachel Solomon's curator insight, December 3, 2013 1:53 PM
"The Book Chook" is a website for digital storytelling for kids. I think this is a great technology to use in the classroom because it can take many different forms and be viewed on different types of technology. It allows students to communicate with an audience and do something different for once. Kids love expressing themselves and I think this is a great method!

Does 1+2+3… Really Equal -1/12?
January 20th, 2014 | 20
A Numberphile video posted earlier this month claims that the sum of all the positive integers is -1/12. I'm usually a fan of the Numberphile crew, who do a great job making mathematics exciting and accessible, but this video disappointed me. There is a meaningful way to associate the number -1/12 to the series 1+2+3+4…, [...]Keep reading »

Additional new features include Micro Dimming Ultimate which analyzes each video frame in real time and eliminates "halos" around bright areas such as white titles on a black background.
The company claims the microdimming system eliminates blooming effects and its Precision Black algorithm can control black levels in discrete zones without affecting light areas of the picture.

Pavlos Georgiadis from Slow Food Thrace in northern Greece explains how to prepare an authentic horiatiki – what most of us know as a Greek salad.
"There is no such thing as a "Greek salad" in Greece! Here we call it horiatiki, which means "of the village." It is a typical summer salad that combines sun-ripened tomatoes, chilled cucumber, onion, olives, feta, rye rusks, wild mountain oregano and extra virgin olive oil - the noble emblem of the Greek culture.
In each of Greece's historic regions, the salad expresses the flavors of the territory. The variations are endless, based on the hundreds of varieties of tomatoes, dozens of types of feta cheese and the diversity of olive varieties. On the islands, people usually add pickled capers and their leaves. In northern Greece, we like to add spicy green peppers.
This salad is the epicenter of the summer table, which has been nourishing Greek families generation after generation. We must take time to taste and to understand the story and the origins of our food. It is the only thing we can do to overcome the crisis we have been thrown into by the standardized industrial food system. Put some Greece in your life, create a garden and enjoy this salad!"
The quality of this salad is determined by the flavor of the sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, aromatic peppers and oregano and intensely flavored olive oil. Without them it will be flat and tasteless, so stick to making it during the summer months.
To serve 4
6 sun-ripened tomatoes, fresh from your garden or a local organic farm/market, at room temperature
1 cucumber, chilled
1 small onion
a handful of quality olives of your choice, preserved in olive oil, salt or brine
200 g fresh goat/sheep's-milk feta, crumbled with the hand into generous pieces
dried oregano (to taste)
1-2 rye rusks (called Paksimadi in Greece- a hard, dried bread made from 100% wholemeal stone-milled rye flour)
sea salt
extra virgin olive oil
Optional: 1 long banana pepper (or similar elongated light-green spicy Capsicum)
Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into cubed pieces and place in a salad bowl. Slice the onion and pepper thinly and add together with the olives and the rusks crumbled into pieces. Mix gently. Top with the feta, season with a sprinkling of oregano and sea salt and dress generously with the olive oil. Leave to rest for half an hour to allow the dry rusks to soak up the juices and the flavors to mingle.

It is a leader in basic and clinical research. Recognized as Quebec's major transplant centre, the Royal Victoria Hospital performed the first kidney transplant in Canada in 1958 and has acquired international recognition for its expertise in this field ever since. Other important successes include the development of a treatment for Parkinson's Disease and the establishment of the first palliative care unit in Canada.
Patient Information Guide
The Main Entrance of the hospital is at 687 Pine Avenue West, just west of University Street. Cars or taxis may drive up to the main entrance and drop off passengers. Click to see the RVH Hospital Map. Click to see the Google map of the RVH area. Click to see the RVH Parking Map.
Handicap Access
Parking spaces are reserved for people with a handicap permit on their cars. These can be found at the main entrance (P1), Ross Pavilion entrance (P3), and the Women's Pavilion entrance (P6). A valet service is offered for those areas that do not reserve spaces for people with handicap stickers on their cars. Valet service is available at P1, P6, P7, and P8.

Upon arrival, you should register with the Admissions Office, A1.25, and have a blue hospital card made, if you don't already have one. You should also bring your valid Medicare card.
What to Bring
Please bring all medications that you are taking. This will ensure that the admitting physician or nurse can verify the exact medication and dose that you have been prescribed.
Although the hospital provides hospital gowns, you may feel more comfortable in your own pyjamas/ clothing, housecoat, and slippers/shoes. You should bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, shaving items, soap, skin lotion, sanitary supplies and other personal-care articles. Since storage is limited, you are asked not to bring large suitcases.
At the time of admission, you will be asked to sign a general consent form for treatment and tests. For patients who are mentally incapacitated, the curator, spouse, tutor or close relative may sign the consent form. For further information, contact the Ombudsman/ Complaints Commissioner at extension 35655 or the Social Service Department at extension 31569.
At the same time, you will be asked whether or not you agree to release medical information to your insurance company and/or to referring doctors, hospitals or clinics. You may choose not to release information outside the hospital.
Food Services
Nutrition plays an important role in overall health, treatment and recovery. A professional team of nutritionists/clinical dieticians is available to manage your nutrition care throughout your hospital stay. If you have other questions you can call the Department of Clinical Nutrition, extension 31576.
The cafeteria is located on the third floor of the Surgical Pavilion and sells meals and snacks. It is open to patients and visitors during the following hours:
- 6:45 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday
- 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays and most statutory holidays
Vending machines are also available on S4, S6 and S7, near the Surgical Pavilion elevator lobby; Instabank machine on S3; on the first floor of the Allan Memorial Institute; and in the Emergency Department, fourth floor, Centennial Pavilion.
During your stay you may welcome the help of family members or close friends. Visiting hours throughout the hospital are flexible, depending on the needs of patients and their family and friends. There may be times, however, when your friends or relatives will be asked to wait before seeing you. This is usually because tests, procedures or medical interviews are taking place. In general, children are welcome to visit but it may be helpful to discuss this and other special visiting arrangements with your nurse or the head nurse of the unit.
At times, the nursing staff may limit visiting in the best interest of the patients.
Information about Patients
Your family or friends may call your unit any time (day or night) for information about you. To get the phone number of the unit, call 31559. For security and confidentiality reasons, information can be relayed only to those whom you, the patient, have authorized to receive information. Please choose a representative who will pass information on to other members of the family.

Good for small roof tops
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this for a Honda Fit, to get a little extra space when roadtripping. The box fits a lot more than it looks like it would, and it is shorter than most of them which is good for the small roof size of the Fit. I almost got the 14, which would also have fit the roof, but would have extended further toward the front of the car. Either would work great, but I'm glad I went with the smaller one.

120camden wrote:Matilda's mother, Jeanne Tosi was born in Sartirana, province de Pavia, Italy. At her death in 1945 she was 72, so that makes her born about 1873.
So before 1891 (which is matilda's birth in Buenos Aires,) Jean would have married Armand Lagneau, Belgium.
I have tried ancestor.com and family search to come up with affirmation of the Tosi maiden name and the marriage of Tosi/Lagneau.
The obituary of Armand 1925 lists him at 62 so born around 1863. It lists the last place he lived at Choisy le Rol, France which is the address that you found for Matilda. He also lists two brothers, Paul and Lewis.
The passport photo you found of Vincenzo is the first picture we have ever seen of my Uncle's father. It is very uncanny to see the resemblance. My unle had a very Italian look. His mother, Matilda, does not look so Italian. Not like her mother Jeanne. My sister, who is 62, (I am 54), remembers our grandmother very well and remembers that she spoke American with a french accent. According to what you found, it looks like she was born in Buenos Aires and lived there until 1916. Came to America in 1920. So she would have spoken Spanish or Portugese, French then English. With her Father being Belgium, would he have spoken French?
We have a photo of a group...Matilda,her parents and others, that I think now was taken in Argentina. Based on the passport photo you found, Matilda looks younger in the group picture.
I just wish I had this inquisitiveness when my mother and uncle were alive. Maybe they had all the answers! I think my mother would have been very surprised to see all this.

Portsmouth hockey doubles up West
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
EXETER — With a young roster and a rash of injuries, the Portsmouth High School boys hockey team has taken its share of lumps this season.
The Clippers were held scoreless in the first period despite outshooting the Blue Knights, 14-5. Alden, assisted by Rancourt and LaCroce, got the Clippers on the board with 13:38 left in the second when he banked home a shot in front of the net.
"(Portsmouth) played a good game," West coach Matt Thompson said. "They outplayed us. I think our team gradually died as the game went along."

Additional Information
Spider Original™
A lot of people ask why we named our original rubber compound after one of the creepiest creatures on the planet. In response, we ask them if they've ever seen a cute puppy climb up a completely vertical, soaking wet rock. No? We rest our case.
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
- Our Spider Original rubber is made to grip like crazy in wet environments
- A thin nylon shank keeps feet stable and in control
- Mesh materials drain water and dry quickly
- Drainage channels in the forefoot allow water to escape
- Tough synthetic leather and mesh upper repels water
- A fold down heel with a Shoc Pad™ offers convenience and cushioning
- Molded EVA foam in the midsole is light and durable
- A soft Shoc Pad™ in the heel gives serious shock absorption

We spend a lot of time bridging water and land and these shoes are perfect. Plenty of protection walking around and quick drying so no worries getting them submerged!!

Q:What are the washing instructions for these? Cold or warm water? And should I remove the insole first? Thanks!Asked on 6/14/2013 by Mom of 2
1 answer
A:These shoes can be hand washed using a mild detergent. It is more effective if you wash the insole separately. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry out of direct sunlight. Do not use a washing machine as this is damaging to the components.Answered on 6/14/2013 by Teva Product Specialist
