But currently with remote X applications for each glyph draw you are chatting to and and from the X server for that server side draw operation right?
So for a screen full of text (lets say) you have to ask the X server to perform each individual glyph draw. This has round trip and protocol overhead (you mentioned latency, well here is where a bunch will live).
My gut says it's gonna be much more performant to draw that wall of text client side and send one big buffer update. One blob instead of lots and lots of roundtrips with the associated socket synchronisation code.
You can also do funky things like rate limiting client side so you aren't trying to update the display too often, keeping the wire saturation to a reasonable level. You can't do this with server side drawing operations.
If you're only drawing the odd bit of text here and there - then the use of deltas (as someone mentioned) becomes the method to do it.
Waylands "remoting" isn't fixed in stone so it's a little early to tell, but I think the gnashing of teeth is a little pre-emptive, to be honest.
Using "something like binary HTML" is a slight of hand way to say you want to put rendering commands into the server .-)
I feel I should mention that XCB font rendering is old X style corefonts. Which are ugly and why we had Xft and Xrender come about.
See: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_X11/Fonts
Now glyph rendering using Xft and Xrender does indeed store the glyph map server side - but it's generated client side and suffers from the problem I mentioned before - it's chatty for a wall of text.
GLAMOUR takes a rendering model that is inherently antagonistic to how modern GPUs work and tries to mske it fast. Toolkits need to intelligently render their widget graphs in a GPU-efficient manner, not use bad 2D APIS with some expectation of a lower level making it all right. I think Qt is moving there; GTK has a lot of work to do. To be fair though Windows' myriad of toolkits are generally just as bad; even ones using D2D generally use it wrong and end up slower than CPU-based rendering in many cases. Even many games just use Scaleform, which is helluva inefficient compared to what a knowledgeable dev with enough time/budget can do.
GPUs are all about minimizing state changes and batching draw calls. Rendering many individual "primitive" 2D elements and using non-atlased pixmaps/glyphs is just bad. The lower layers can do some auto-magic batching, but the toolkit can do way more, and can expose a more appropriate drawing API to apps/themes. Clutter hence is way more interesting than GLAMOUR.
What does "disabling compositing" mean for you?
In Wayland, clients draw and submit complete frames of their window. This means that the server has always a consistent image ready of the window content (unlike in X). We have many clients sending their frames. The compositor must then combine these images to a complete picture of the desktop, and put it on the display. This is compositing: combining images to make a big picture. If you don't composite, you cannot see multiple windows at once.
So why does it make a difference in X when you "disable compositing"? When you composite in X, the window image from a client goes to the X server, from the X server to the compositing manager, the compositing manager composites, the compositing manager sends the big picture to the X server, the X server puts the big picture on display. When you do not composite in X, the image goes from client to the X server, the X server combines the images of many clients into a big picture, the X server sends the big picture to display. See the difference?
Or rather, see the similarity? The X server is combining several images into a big picture. But that is... compositing! Whether you have a compositing manager in X or not, there is still always compositing happening, since you are able to see more than one window at a time. Ok, actually X server's own compositing is just poor man's compositing: when it comes the time to paint a newly exposed area, X will ask a client to paint it instead of just doing it. Then you will wait and watch garbage until the client, if it happens to be responsive, paints.
You are right, in Wayland you cannot disable compositing with non-fullscreen windows. It would simply not make any sense. There is also no third-party program doing the compositing like with X compositing managers, adding communication delays and complexity.
Or did I interpret you wrong, and you actually meant that compositing is actually useful, cool, and good? Which it is, when done properly.
He's referring to compositing in the terms of desktop effects. Which in reality what he's referring to is Indirect Rendering.
Indirect Rendering:
Direct Rendering:Code:Input -> X Server -> X Client -> X Server -> Compositor -> X Server -> Image is displayed
Wayland Rendering:Code:Input -> X Server -> X Client -> X Server -> image is displayed
Since the Wayland Server IS the compositor (kwin, mutter, compiz) There's no performance drop unless they hit a slow code-path or bug in the compositor.Code:Input -> Wayland Server -> Wayland Client -> Wayland Server -> Image is displayed
With indirect rendering there's a slow down (What he's talking about), with Direct rendering there's no slowdown. And with Wayland rendering there may even be a speedup in rendering time, and therefore better FPS, because they dont have to work around all of X's bloat and cruft and legacy crap.
Disabled compositing - direct rendering using overlay.
Wayland doesn't support overlays, but it seems it will be fixed.

Parenting Tips & Tales
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
I have a pre-teen son who is questioning God. He loves science and is a avid reader of all this about the earth, animals, & space. He is concerned about how God fits in to this. We have talked to him about how without God people would not have the skills to discover what they did, that when the Bible says 7 days it may not literally mean 7 - 24 hour days a day could be millions of years. I told him my belief that the Big Bang was God clapping his hands together to make the Heavens and the Earth and if this was not true then scientists would be able to recreate this and they cannot. (not sure if this was the best advice but at the time seemed right) He has spoken to the parish priest about this and was recommended to pray and read the Bible. Does anyone have experience with this? anything that we can offer him to read or watch? My husband feels the most discouraged by this as if HE let our son down by not being a better Catholic (we are the only ones in our families that still practice on non-Easter & Christmas). Thanks for anything that can help.
Try Amy Welborn's "Prove It!" books. They are really good and address a lot of questions like this. Also, pointing out that the Big Bang theory was originally posited by a priest might help show that the Church is far from anti-science. Catholic Answers might have some resources too, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Could you google for Catholic scientists and their inventions and discoveries? (Mendel, Marconi, and Pasteur come to mind.) I grew up in a university town and it really surprised me when I grew up to discover that quite a few of the people I saw at Mass (even daily Mass) were well-respected scientists.
I work with pre-teens & teens for a profession. Don't be discourage or feel like you did something wrong when raising your child. During this time in life, teens are going to have a lot of questions and they are just searching for the truth. Questioning God is actually a good thing as long as searching for the answers happens. There are a lot of Catholic Scientists and honestly science and faith go together. I agree with Alice about having your son google Catholic Scientists. Here is a book that may also help. Catholicism and Science (Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion) Peter M.J Hess (Author), Paul L. Allen (Author) I think it would also be a good idea to see if you can find some other adults who can be a friend and resource for your teen. Teens do tend to like having many adults in their life who can support them and help them as they discover and come to understand the world we live in and how their faith fits into that.
We are Catholic homeschoolers but we also use quite a bit of publications & DVD's from Answers in Genesis (& the Creation Museum). The founder, Ken Ham is AVID about the LITERAL truth of the bible and that is why we LOVE it so much. He is protestant and uses their doctrine mostly (so just be aware) but we still have found great truth in what present in terms of God and science! Here's the website: http://www.answersingenesis.org/ If you can make a trip to the Creation Museum with your son you will not regret it - it was a HUGE eye opening experience for our teenagers. I suggest at least two days to see it all and be able to 're-visit' important exhibits the second day in order to absorb it :) Creation Museum website: http://creationmuseum.org/ -Good Luck - and God Bless! We will keep you in our prayers!!
Hmm, Jean from Florida is back trolling--ignore her if you don't already know about her! LOL Anyway, I am teaching a homeschooling coop high school biology course from the Apologia series. It is a creationist series and I was a little leery about the Protestant/Evangelical slant I might find (none of my students are Catholic LOL) BUT I LOVE this book. The author does a wonderful job of giving both points of view and explaining why Chrisitians in general believe/don't believe certain things. Just for example--in evolution Darwin spent over half of his original book pointing out flaws in Darwin's own argument. This flaws have now become insurmountable scientifically and the theory of macroevolution (we all started as a single cell organism) is now not even really supported by the van guard evolutionary scientists. The chapter on evolution is worth buying the whole book. There is a whole series of homeschooling science books by Apologia and I am sure that you can get old copies on e-bay and spend some time looking at specific chapters with your son and that my at least start a thought process.
Um, not trying to start a fight, but if your son is interested in science, Lynn, I wouldn't send him to young-earthers to strengthen his faith. Catholicism and science are not in opposition; all truth is from God, but he won't get that impression from Protestant Biblical literalism. I'd go more with biographies of Catholic scientists like the ones Alice listed so he can see how the faith of those scientists was lived out through their work, not eclipsed by it. Given your son's age, something like "Fides et Ratio" is a bit out of his league, but there are still tons of Catholic sources out there that will encourage his love of science while showing that science is not incompatible with faith in God. Also, you might tell him that your answer about God's "hand clap" wasn't meant to be a definitive scientific answer (seeing as God doesn't have hands...), but that answers are out there, they just take some research (which, you could point out, is what any good scientist would do).
Lynn, You might want to check out The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation: http://www.kolbecenter.org/ They provide lots of resources on the traditional Catholic doctrine of Creation, as well as many audio downloads. I agree with Anna that Catholicism is not in opposition to science & that faith & reason complement each other. The utilitarian implications of Darwinism are real & dangerous, but Catholics need not fear or rely on Protestant resources to understand science from a Catholic perspective.
thank you for all your responses! we order a couple of Prove It books for him and looked at some websites about science and Catholism.

text: 09 May 2013 09:00 Air Seychelles and equity alliance partner Etihad Airways this week concluded the first ever Manchester City Seychelles Soccer School, a grassroots program focused on the athletic development of young Seychellois. Patrick Vieira, legendary player and Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) Football Development Executive, and a team of City coaches headed up the series of clinics for more than 500 Seychelles youngsters aged seven to 16.The clinics, which took place from May 4 to May 6 on Mahé and Praslin, were organized in collaboration with the Seychelles Football Federation.Etihad Airways signed a 10-year partnership deal with MCFC in July 2011, which included naming rights for the club's stadium and expansive surrounding grounds, known as Etihad Stadium and Etihad Campus, respectively, as well as an extension of the existing shirt sponsorship.Cramer Ball, Air Seychelles Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to have hosted the first ever Manchester City Seychelles Soccer School along with our partner, Etihad Airways. The clinics followed the same successful concept developed by the Club and Etihad Airways for previous events in the UAE and other key markets. Our first Seychelles school was a resounding success."We are grateful to Patrick Vieira and the City coaches for their valuable contribution to this program. Thanks to the support of MCFC, the youngsters of Seychelles enjoyed a memorable experience. We look forward to bringing the Soccer Schools back to the Seychelles on a regular basis."Patrick said: "It was fantastic to get involved with many of the aspiring young players on the islands. We hope they have picked up some useful coaching tips and inspiration to go on to be the very best they can be."In a remarkable playing career spanning 18 years, Patrick Vieira won numerous domestic championships in both England and Italy, as well as the World Cup with France in 1998 and the European Championship two years later. He retired from the game in July 2011 to take on a wide ranging role with MCFC which includes work with the Academy, scouting and community departments.

Pottermore includes an interactive online platform known as "Pottermore.com", which is described in more detail in our Terms & Conditions ("Terms"), as well as an online eBook and digital audio book shop known as the "Pottermore Shop". Pottermore is owned by Pottermore Limited (referred to as "we", "us" or "our" as appropriate, a company established in England and Wales). Pottermore is currently available through the website at http://www.pottermore.com. We may also make Pottermore or other versions of it available through a number of digital channels or devices.
We strive to make Pottermore.com a fun, safe and secure platform for adults and children of all ages to use. We understand that, as parents and guardians, you wish to ensure that your children can use websites on the internet in a way that allows them to interact with others responsibly and safely.
Your child's safety online is very important to us and we are committed to safeguarding the personal information we collect from them through Pottermore. As a result, we have taken a number of measures to create a rich, engaging yet safe environment through which children can explore the world of Pottermore and the magic of Harry Potter and enjoy eBooks and digital audio books purchased from the Pottermore Shop.

Whether your Colorado camping vacations take you through Denver and the Rocky Mountain National Park or the Durango / Mesa Verde area, it's always a good idea to be aware of the rules of the road. Click on the links provided below for answers to your Colorado road travel questions.
Travelers Tip: Interstates ending in odd numbers run north and south. Even numbered interstates run east and west. Most Colorado interstates use a mile-marker exit numbering system, where the exit numbers correspond to the nearest milepost - running south to north and west to east determined by the distance from the state line.
Rest stops can be found along Colorado's roads and typically offer picnic areas, restrooms, travel and map information, vending machines, pet walks, pay phones and occasionally an RV dump station. Wi-fi internet services at rest stops are becoming more common. Click here to learn about Colorado's rest stops.
When planning your route be sure to explore the campgrounds and RV parks in Find a Park – our online camping directory. Go Camping America helps make your travels safe and memorable.

Edgerly Walsh the best choice in District 3February 28,2013
Edgerly Walsh the best choice
Serving on the Montpelier City Council is somewhat of a thankless task. There are few rewards and lots of challenges. So it is wonderful to see that this year we have four qualified candidates for the District 3 seat. What an honor that is. How difficult it becomes to make a good decision.
Because we arent voting parties, it can be difficult to figure out in such a race who is the best choice. As my friend former Councilor Jim Sheridan put it, There is just no way to tell what will come out of a four-way race. Its a crapshoot.
In that case, then I have come down on the side of two qualities that I think are badly needed on the Montpelier City Council: youth and gender equality. Why those qualities? Montpelier is growing a younger face. New businesses are opening that are clearly aimed at a younger demographic. The needs of this growing community must be part of the councils deliberations. And gender? The issue speaks for itself. Half (or more) of Montpeliers residents are women. Can we expect Anne Watson to be the only feminine voice on the council? Not at all. We should be moving in the direction of balance.
Given the need for youth and balance, it is clear that Jessica Edgerly Walsh is the best choice for District 3 at the town meeting election. She provides the youthful energy and balanced perspective needed to help guide our city into a challenging future. I will certainly be supporting Jessica on Town Meeting Day.

Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
52 posts
• Page 1 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Was sure I had seen a post on great coffee shops for those of us needing good coffee to get home - went looking but could not find it - so here is my recommendation
Bulli at Marcoola - its on Lorraine Ave, just opposite the beachside park - run by a great guy, wonderful staff and the best home-made cakes! Pizza also looks awesome but I kid myself that by eating fig and chocolate cake its kinda healthy!! herb scambled egg is also a great brekky. Every weekend my 4 girls, my husband and myself go for what consitutes a long ride for us (60km) and the highlight is the coffee and cake stop on the way back. The guy that owns it has spanish parents and was riding very early on. always really pleasant and interested in what you have been doing - even rank beginners like me. Cos there are usually the six of us we tend to sit in the park rather than clutter up the sidewalk seats with our bikes - to save an awkward walk on clips the staff happily ferry over the order when ready to our spot in the park. Open from early to late afternoons so you can have a break from the rush of cars along David Low Way. Can highly recommend it - just wish I knew the guys name -
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Forgot to say it would be great to get other recommendations - nice to supporrt businesses that are supportive of all types of cyclists -thanks
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Lotsa regulars known well by the staff. Rowers, workers, cyclists, work crowds. I seldom eat brekky (weight control) but most mornings have one of Frans' famous muffins with my coffee. Just east of the bell tower. You sit over the water on a wooden slatted floor spotting dolphins, pelicans, shags and willy wagtails.

Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Nudgee Beach Coffee shop. On wet days, settle in under the awning and enjoy second coffee (and more) at half price.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Raw Energy juice bar in Noosaville- Gympie Terrace.
Discounted coffee for cyclists any morning. and great views over the river. Plus many groups kick off from here, early, for the morning rides.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
Long ride to get there, Colin
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
Will have to remember this for when we are up in Noosa for a week during the Tri Lisa
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
And a few doors up the street, Grind has the best coffee and breakfast menu on the strip. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-+1 for Grind in Noosa. Great coffee.
If you're down Mooloolaba way there's a cafe called The Velo Project just hidden a few streets behind the beach (on Careela Street). It has pretty cool vibes and good food, not to mention the word 'Velo' is in it's name.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
which goes to show how good it is. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Would it be easier to name the "Bike unfriendly" coffee shops? The list would be a lot shorter
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-For anyone coming to the Road Nationals or having a turn around the course, Espresso Depot in Buninyong (Vic) has excellent coffee and a great selection of cakes, friands and danishes. Lunches are simple but execllent lamb and rosemary pie a few weeks ago (mid 100km ride)
The place is always full of road riders on Saturday and MTB on Sunday (not sure why the differentiation???) Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
Thanks Ron, as we are staying just up the road I'm sure we will be very frequent visitors during the week. Are there any mid- week group rides around that area? We will be occupied with the Tri event on the weekend but free to ride during the week. Lisa
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Stop 16 at Ashgrove always a good place to go after the ride.
Has recently had some changes,and now seems to be open before 7am. Also new are some interesting antiquities including a real typewriter and some ancient framed newspapers. As always good friendly service and some cakes to select from. Bikes can be parked out the back (probably best) or on the footpath out front. Check it out Northsiders. "Technology gives us much more information but Education is never be able to give us the skill to evaluate it"
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
Bugger! Sorry, missed your question about rides. Hopefully you would have discovered that the lbs' conduct rides mid-week. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Just an update - Stop 16 is Ashgrove's best kept secret.
Framed newspapers from October 1932 adorn the walls. News in 1932-(with photo) - the DeHavilland Pussy Moth passenger biplane has been banned from flying in Australia after an accident due to wing failure at Byron Bay. Anyhow back to the present day.... open from 6.45, or thereabouts... "Technology gives us much more information but Education is never be able to give us the skill to evaluate it"
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Hey elantra,
Is shop 16 on Waterworks Rd or Ashgrove Ave? Too lazy to ride the riverloop today so I'm going in the morning, I'm thinking about swinging past for a cafe` on my way home.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Hi Wal, it is on the north side of Waterworks Rd., very near to the Ashgrove Av. intersection.
correction - it is the Puss Moth, not the Pussy Moth. And it is a monoplane, not a biplane. And it is thought that weakness in the wing strut was contributing factor in the death of famous Bundaberg aviator Mr.Bert Hinkler in Europe in January 1933. "Technology gives us much more information but Education is never be able to give us the skill to evaluate it"
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-ahhh thats right around the corner from my place. thanks steve! i shall be stopping there tomorrow morning on my way in
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Yeah, I didn't get there this morning, had 2 flats by the time I got to Alderley, piece of glass in the front tyre, fitted spare tube #1, then hit the level crossing at Alderley at the wrong angle, for 2nd flat, fitted tube #2 & rode home as I had no more spares, checked the front grabbed 2 spare tubes & couldn't be bothered mucking around ether way, just wanted to ride the loop & get home again. May try to get over there next week.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Have stopped here a couple of times now...
On the way up to Kinglake, The Smith's Gully Store has very good coffee; Muffins are tasty. The people who run it are really friendly, have installed hooks for bikes out front and know many of the regulars by name (and what they drink). It's already busy (attracts both MTB and roadies) but worthy of support... Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-
+1 for this. Cycled up there last November (& hopefully will do again this year) - great way to end some fantastic local rides with the RE & NBS crew rides.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Little cafe across from maroochydore surf club at cotton tree end(has white shutters, on corner) .
We sit out front and enjoy sunshine and its pretty decent.
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Queensland > Redcliffe > The Jetty Cafe ... first experience of them last weekend = great service, coffee, views and how much cold water can we get you??
Re: Bike Friendly Coffee Shops-Queensland > Sunshine Beach > Costa Noosa ... great venue for a meet up and the drop is spot on.

text: Homeopathic Materia Medica by FarringtonEUPHORBIACEAE( )The Euphorbiaceae as an order contain an acrid principle which in some cases is oily in character, in others resinous; in case it is the latter, it escapes from the plant as a milky juice drying into a gum. These oils or gums have two properties. If applied to the skin, they produce redness and vesication. The vesicles fill with yellowish-white serum and may even suppurate and form scabs of a honey color. They all act more or less intensely as purgatives, producing a watery diarrhoea, associated with colic, tenesmus, flatulence, burning, nausea and vomiting. The medicines we derive from this order are the Croton tiglium, Jatropha curcas, Yucca filamentosa, Euphorbium officinarum, Euphorbia corollata, Mercurialis perennis, Hippomane mancinella and Ricinus communis.CROTON TIGLIUM produces a diarrhoea with yellowish watery stool pouring out like water from a hydrant, often associated with nausea and vomiting. This nausea is of a very aggravating character, and is attended by faintness and loss of sight. Colic appears and is better from warm drinks. The stool returns with any effort to eat or drink. The nearest analogue to Croton tig. is JATROPHA CURCAS, which produces a perfect picture of cholera Asiatica, with great prostration and simultaneous vomiting and purging. The vomited matters look like rice-water or the white of an egg. There are also cramps in the calves and coldness of the body., The next similar drug is the EUPHORBIA COROLLATA. This produces vomiting and purging, just like the previous remedy, with cold sweat all over the body. It has, more marked than the other members of this group, a peculiar mental state—the patient wants to die. CASCARILLA has its abdominal symptoms relieved by warm drinks. But it seems to be useful in a different class of cases from the foregoing remedies. We use it when there are knotty stools covered with mucus, and associated with colic and burning just like the others. This remedy also has frequent pale red haemorrhages from the bowels. These haemorrhages do not consist of a simple oozing of blood, such as often follows a stool when haemorrhoids are present, nor is it a haemorrhage from the bowels from hepatic disease, but it comes from disease of the bloodvessels. YUCCA FILAMENTOSA has a predominance of the bilious symptoms over the gastric and intestinal. It has frontal or temporal headache, frequent flushing of the face, yellow or sallow face, and tongue coated yellow or yellowish-white, and taking the imprint of the teeth. There are also dull aching about the centre of the liver, poor appetite, distended abdomen which is sensitive to the touch, colic or colicky pains, tenesmus with frequent passage of flatus, frequent watery or yellowish-brown stools. Now let us study the action of these remedies on the skin. When CROTON TIGLIUM is applied to the skin it produces an erythema, which is soon followed by a group of vesicles which are almost confluent, and which burn and itch most intolerably. If the action of the drug is allowed to continue, these vesicles form a yellowish scab much resembling that of milk-crust, in which disease it may be indicated, especially when the bowel-symptoms suit. HIPPOMANE MANCINELLA was first proved by Dr. Muir. Its power of producing vesicles has been utilized in scarlet fever. Its symptoms are these: Delirium; sore-throat, with inability to swallow on account of the constriction in the throat and oesophagus; burning of the eyes, made worse by closing the lids. YUCCA produces an erythematous redness of the skin. In two provers it produced a burning and swelling of the prepuce, with redness of the meatus urinarius. An examination of allopathic textbooks will show you that Yucca has been recommended for gonorrhoea. EUPHORBIUM OFFICINARUM differs somewhat from the others. Like them, it produces an erythematous and vesicular eruption. Its chief value, however, arises from its action on the bones. It is used in diseases of these structures with burning pain, especially after the abuse of mercury. RICINUS COMMUNIS has the effect of increasing the quantity of milk in nursing women. It is here similar to URTICA URENS, which is an excellent remedy for absence of milk after confinement. Castor oil, when abused, is antidoted by two medicines, according to the respective characteristics, BRYONIA and NUX VOMICA ; Bryonia from a specific relation to the symptoms of Ricinus, and Nux from, its relation to drastic remedies in general.

About Me Widow On Fixed Income
I actually ordered these because the seats on my recliners had started to split and they are black vinyl. These work perfectly (had to use another method to attach because recliners were too wide) They look so great ... makes the recliners look new again. Today ordered two more for my car (Ford Taurus) and cannot wait to install them in the car. I am a widow and the great price really helps as I am retired on Social Security only -- so every month is a struggle.

By Larry Blake
from Tucson, AZ
Nice comfort and aroma, but continually slides down and to the side because of poor retainer straps. Material seems thin, and it's looking older than it is. It's just not what I pictured in my mind when I purchased it.

I use this in my wheelchair..the vinyl seat in my chair was causing terrible pain in my legs. I don't like thick cousions to sit on......this one is perfect for my needs....I just put velcro on the bottom and placed it in my chair.....so cousion does not move and I can take it out when I want. I bought 2! I would recommend this to a friend and already have.

VGA Passthrough looks really awesome.
One thing that would be great is to use the northbridge or APU graphic cards for Linux, and having a more powerfull nvidia/amd graphic cards for the virtualized windows. The drawback is you will need two screens (or a switch to plug the 2 graphics cards to 1 screen).
I've made a few game working with wine, but I'm really tired of rebooting when playing some games. This solution looks really great.
I'm using VirtualBox at work, (and dual-boot at home) but I never tried Xen. It seems more tricky to setup.

Good, but not below 40
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been out with these about 5 times now. When it's 45 and sunny they work great. If its 35, windy and cloudy my hands become painful after about 45 minutes. I am buying the thermo pair for winter riding in the 30s and low 40s. If it's below 30, I am not riding on the road anyway.
Great for 40 degrees
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought these gloves bc at the moment of purchase they didn't have countdown gloves in stock, so I thought these will work since winter hasn't started yet. I've been using them way past december (in NYC) so in temperatures low 40s they actually worked quite well for me. If temperatures get higher then that but still cold for bare hand riding, I've been wearing them and my hands wouldn't get overheated or sweaty. Just comfortable. I would recommend them always.

Wyoming County International Speedway closed out the regular season portion of the 2007 campaign with the annual double-point Season Championships as the track titles in all three regular divisions were handed out. While one championship was already sewn up, the other two came down to the wire with every single point counting in the end.
In the SST Modifieds, Jim Pierce began the day with a 48-point lead over Kevin Lewis for the track title. Pierce expanded that lead after winning his heat race and he started on the pole for the 35-lap feature.
The Pierce championship freight train looked like it was going to roll on to the feature win, but trouble struck with just five laps to go. After leading the first 30 laps virtually uncontested, the motor in Pierces car expired with a cloud of smoke. Pierce was forced to watch the final five laps from the infield knowing he was going to finish 13th and that he gave Kevin Lewis an opportunity to steal the championship.
Lewis needed to win the race to pull off what would have been one of the biggest upsets in track history. He moved up to third after Pierce dropped out and had to pass Wayne Lent and Bob Reis to get the win. He was unable to improve his position, however, as Lent drove on to his first win of the year the Perry Bullring. Lewis had to settle for third and finished came up 11 points short of catching Pierce.
The championship is the first ever of Pierces career, as he becomes the fourth different SST champion in the last four years at WCIS.
Bob Reis finished second in the feature as he made his debut in the Withey Racing #29. Reis is a former Modified and TQ Midget driver and drove Supermodifieds at Oswego this season. Joe Evans finished fourth for his career best finish. Kirk Rutherford rounded out the top five.
Kevin Herbert had the Super Stock title wrapped up going into the final race, as had a dominant season with seven feature wins. Todd Stone won the final points race after taking the lead for on lap 11. It was Stones fourth win of the year. Brian Gleason finished second for his best run of the season.
Herbert celebrated not only the track championship, but his 30th birthday as well. It was the second-straight title for his car owner Bob Herman. Last year Herman won the title driving his own Wyco Sanitation #1.
The 4-Cylinder Wasp championship had been a season-long battle between friendly rivals Kevin Grom and Bill Verwys. Grom was the leader at the start of the day by 28 points. He expanded that lead during the heats after finishing third despite cutting down a tire. Luckily he was able to get it changed under the yellow flag with help from Verwys in a remarkable display of sportsmanship.
Both contenders started on the front row for the 25-lap feature. Grom quickly established himself as the leader and dominated the race. He led all 25 laps to win his fourth race of the year. Verwys had to deal with an ill-handling racecar and finished fifth as he conceded the championship to Grom.
Margaret McDonald finished second to finish her rookie year on a high note. Kevin Miller finished third in the race and in the final points. Otis Bradshaw was fourth.
Robbie Micoli and Jesse Hartloff split twin features in the Mini Cups. Team Skunkworks, led by newly crowned Wasp champ Kevin Grom, won the Junkyard Soccer tournament. They beat the Wyoming County Bulls in the championship game 1-0.
WCIS race fans and teams helped to raise over $250 for the Wyoming County SPCA. WCIS collected money and supplies for the shelter, which is in danger of closing. The staff and management of WCIS wanted to extend a thank you to all who contributed. The most generous donation came from the Herbert family as they donated several bags of dog and cat food and kitty litter.
There are two more shows left on the 2007 WCIS schedule. Next Sunday, September 23, is the Scale Nationals featuring racecars of the smaller variety. The Wasps, Caseys Midget Series, Mini Cups, Legends, and go-karts are among the divisions that will be in action.
The season wraps up on Saturday, October 6 with the Coca-Cola Fall Shootout. The headline event that day is the Butch Drennen Memorial 75 for the SST Modified Series. That is the final SST Series race of the year. The Super Stocks will be running in the Dave London Memorial 50. The Street Stocks and Wasps are also on the race card that day. Racing starts at 2:30 PM for both events.

On the Job: Teams are good in concept, tough to work with
If you think workplace teams are a great idea but would be thrilled if you weren't on one again in your lifetime, you're not alone.
According to a new University of Phoenix survey, 95 percent of respondents say teams serve an important purpose, but only 24 percent prefer to work that way. Younger workers like it even less. Many say they would rather work alone.
"I think the fact that less than a quarter of workers would prefer to work on teams is a pretty shocking statistic although it doesn't surprise me personally," says Barry Feierstein, chief business operating officer of University of Phoenix. "Teams are hard."
Different generations, different agendas and different personality types thrown together creates tension, Feierstein says.
Another problem: Team members may resent being put on teams that add to their workload or force them to work closely with people they would rather avoid. Add in the various authority levels of different team members and "you've got a dance you have" to figure out how to make work,he says.
The survey also finds some of the other reasons that contribute to the negative feelings about teams:
• Gossip.
• Passing the buck.
• Disagreements that turn physical. (Believe it or not, 15 percent have reported that problem.)
Feierstein says he has never been on a team where a confrontation turned physical although he's seen "staplers and books sent flying through the air," so it could be respondents were judging such interactions as physical.
The University of Phoenix integrates teamwork and collaboration into its curriculum because officials there believe those skills need to be developed before students enter the workplace, he says.
This may be a more important skill than ever because the students have grown up communicating with technology, one-on-one cellphone texting, online with Facebook friends or tweets to the world. In other words, students may have more difficulty working face to face on teams, he says.
"It used to be that you interfaced with friends on the phone or by meeting them face to face," he says. "You learned to listen to the tone and have empathy for what they were saying. But now, because of technology, collaboration has become more sterile. Personalities are not able to come across and you can't pick up on nonverbal body language."
That's why Feierstein says the survey should be used as a call to action.
"For me personally, it will make me more aware that when I'm on a team most of the other people in the room don't want to be there," he says. "That's something as a leader I need to acknowledge and deal with."
Team members need to know that the leaders understand their lack of excitement, "but that we will win or die as a team."
Anyone who continues to express negativity should be reminded that such bad attitudes won't be tolerated, he says.
"I think you've got to be honest with people that you know they may have had bad experiences in the past because that will help take away some of the anxiety," Feierstein says. "You've got to approach this situation so that you can help the team develop a way to trust one another."
Team members can help make the experience more pleasant.
"If I were a more junior member, I would view it as a chance to build awareness of myself, as a way to build my network and to show other people my skill set," he says. "You can learn a lot if you go into it with a positive attitude ... that will help you be more effective."
