Looks really nice. Can't wait.
Phoronix: The Phoronix Test Suite Gets A GUI
Since releasing the Phoronix Test Suite to the public a year ago, one of the most popular feature requests has been for a graphical user interface. The Phoronix Test Suite is not exactly difficult to use from a command line, but this feature has been in development for Phoronix Test Suite 2.0. However, with this morning's release of Phoronix Test Suite 1.8.0 Alpha 2, a preview of this GUI has been introduced. Those testing Linux, OpenSolaris, BSD, and Mac OS X systems now have a simple yet intuitive interface for facilitating their system benchmarks.
Looks really nice. Can't wait.
Man, why is it that everytime I see an article in my RSS/Atom reader about the PTS I have the urge not to read it? Where did all the relevant articles go?
I would have prefered a QT4 gui... but that's fine, it doesn't really change anything for me
And of course thanks for your software
Yay! That sure was quick development, thank you Phoronix.
Very cool, this app is one of few freebies that just doesn't suck, very professional.
Thank you Michael and Phoronix. Very useful app.
I would like to see a QT4 port also ;-) I think kde4 will gain momentum from now on.
You are welcome.
There is a PHP Qt module, but I am not too familiar with it and uncertain whether it's still maintained. There is only about 1,000 lines of GTK2 code that powers the Phoronix Test Suite GUI, so it wouldn't be hard to port it over. If there is enough requests for a Qt interface, I may consider doing the work.
The promised glade improvements are coming :x

Once we did 12 pizzas and you could tell the difference, by which ones sat out longer.
Really there are two thin crust types we are talking about seems like although we have written of them in the same context.One is the thin cracker style crust, and the other, is the very thin, crisp, hard bread style.

Hi All,
I've posted about this elsewhere in the forum but it has more relevance to those of us in the UK. My thanks to Ian Oldham for the information.
You can visit the U534 museum and the Reverend Garrett's Resurgam (replica) at the Woodside Ferry Terminal. (Take a "Ferry cross the Mersey" etc etc)
Well worth visiting and its is good to see that the museum for the U boat is moving along. (There were rumours about it being scrapped etc.)
Some sample piccies follow to give you an idea.

What do you think about a different color for the active button?
For example all the buttons grey and when I press play the button become white... In this case the status messages are not necessary. It is only one of my ideas. Donnie. This post has been edited by DonnieBrasco: Feb 24 2010, 16:30 |

Cast on with knitwear natural Stefanie Japel and master circular knitting skills as you make a headband, a hat with colorwork, a pair of fingerless mitts, and even a cable and lace cowl! First, knit a headband in the round using double-pointed needles, as well as a flower that makes a lovely accent. Then, Stefanie will teach you to use the magic loop method to knit a shaped hat with colorwork, while giving you tips for managing yarn in both hands. You'll even learn to knit a pair of fingerless mitts at the same time using two circular needles. For your final project, Stefanie will take you step-by-step through a breathtaking cable and lace cowl that uses the easiest technique you'll learn in class.
Learn about the advantages of knitting in the round, review the tools and get started making a trendy headband.
"While I already learned circular knitting on DPN's, magic loop, and using 2 circs, this class greatly enhanced my technique. Plus I really wanted the patterns to go with the class. I enjoyed Stefanie's teaching methods and found she explained each step clearly. If you need to see a step multiple times, hit the 30-second repeat button. No need to have a teacher repeat herself 5 times. Great class, great teacher, great techniques, and great patterns to experiment with."

David - Thanks for the visualization. It seems a small space can really be very utilitarian and get the job done.
John,The difference between the 2 prep tables is that the more expensive unit is imported from Italy & has the condiment compartment on top as oppose to counter height. The advantage is that you don't end up with flour all over the condiments. We have the regular unit fitted with a marble top (True Refrigeration). It has broken down twice in a year & I suspect that it is due to flour getting in the motor. If you're bringing an oven over from Naples have them throw one in the container along with a mixer, it will cost you half of what it would cost you here.
Matt,If you get the Italian unit, is there any problem finding people locally to work on it - particularly when it is under warranty?CL

I made dough with Giovani's guy every morning for three weeks back in 2009. At that time it was very close to VPN spec. But also done by feel, water and flour mixed to the right consistency poured straight from the bag and bottles. The dough is mixed in a mixer, divided/shaped in three large masses then autolyse e with another shaping half way through. It is then balled and stored in the fridge for ~24hrs or so. Cake Yeast and salt is weighed however. The flour is about the whole of a 55lb bag again hydration is done by feel for the most part. Winters in ATL are much drier than the summer and more water is needed.
What were you taking a pic of in that 2nd pic?
Glad you enjoyed it! That is a moderately busy evening.
Big fun! Thanks John.
That place is a madhouse....and a gold mine!!

How to Choose an LCD Monitor
Liquid crystal displays, or "LCD monitors," are flat-panel computer monitors. Due to their clear picture and space-saving design, LCD monitors are great for smaller computer areas. LCD monitors are a good alternative to CRT computer monitors due to their weight, size and compatibility with other electronics. Before you purchase a LCD monitor, first consider a few factors to help you choose the right computer monitor for you.

Media has no need to dramatise an event that is already fuelled with drama
Distressing images of coffins being delivered to an Indonesian prison, crosses being made and details of the execution process for nine drug smugglers awaiting the firing squad are gratuitous and tasteless, argues Mumbrella's Steve Jones. Overnight we received an email with the subject line: "Offering pics about execution /Death convicts in Nusakambangan Island", with some examples of the photographer's work. "For me these are premium Images and only me and one other print media who take the crosses making," said the man who had taken the photos showing the names of Bali nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran being painted on their grave markers. Certainly most of the Australian media shares the view these ghoulish shots are premium inventory, revelling in every moment leading up to the almost inevitable end to the saga, their death by firing squad. -
What I've learned 90 days into life as a pitch consultant
In this opinion piece David Angell takes a candid look at his first three months as an industry consultant after many years working in media agencies. Here's an interesting thing: when I privately announced to selected colleagues my decision to enter the world of 'consultancy', the reaction I had was…well, to use a polite cliché – mixed. -
How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our weekly spot How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. This week's How Much Is It Worth asks how much did it cost to take out: the main ad on the homepage of the Bureau of Meteorology website during this week of wild weather; how much the strategic placement by NRMA Insurance on the second page of the Daily Telegraph in the aftermath of the storms; a product placement deal on Masterchef; a half page ad in the Saturday Paper; and a live read by Sydney/soon-to-be Brisbane Breakfast shock jock Alan Jones? -
The Apple Watch launch carries a lot of lessons in user experience
You might not have the marketing budgets of Apple but Luke Brown argues there is no reason every brand can't learn lessons from its focus on user experience. With all the hype surrounding the launch of the Apple Watch there's some lessons that all marketers can take out from Apple's grip on brand experience. And before you roll your eyes and utter, but we're not Apple we don't [insert size, budget, boring product excuse here], every brand can afford to take a good look in the mirror to see if it's keeping pace with customer expectations. -
Who will buy the Apple Watch and when?
The Apple Watch has gained a lot of attention since it was announced late last year. In this guest post Rob Marston unpacks who will buy it and what that means for marketers. Today Apple has again launched an oxymoron – a watch that is less about time-telling and more about communicating, just as the iPhone is less about calling and more about apps, taking selfies, texting with emoticons and snap chatting your latest latte. But the Apple Watch will change the humble watch and it will change tech gadgetry for a whole sweep of demographics over time. -
Spotify's global business head talks piracy, getting better with data and who will survive in the Australian market
In seven years Spotify has changed the way a generation listens to music, and claims to have cut music piracy drastically in the process. Alex Hayes sat down with Spotify's chief business office Jeff Levick to discuss how many services can survive in the Australian landscape, improving the use of data and how it works with telco partners.
Is it better to have paid subscriptions?
We're a feemium business - it's hard to separate the two.
The whole reason for free is to basically have a platform to allow consumers for free to find music, listen to music and engage with it, and obviously for us it's a big part of our push into premium which is paid.
Just because I'm a white young woman doesn't mean I don't deserve my job at SBS
In this opinion piece SBS journalist Ellie Laing hits back at a report in The Australian suggesting she and colleagues were hired because they were attractive. I'm a 32 year old married woman who like so many, endures a daily struggle with frizzy hair and the occasional breakout. So when a compliment suggesting I might be, in some way, "attractive" comes my way, I'll take it. With delight. -
How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our new weekly spot called How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. Today's How Much Is It Worth asks how much it is to take out: the top promoted tweet for Game of Thrones; a poster on the back of a phonebox; an ad on the back of a glossy magazine; a news website takeover; and what is the De Rucci guy is paying for all those billboards. -
Are big media agencies serving their clients or the media owners?
In the aftermath of the revelations about media agency practices 303Lowe CEO Nick Cleaver questions whether big media agencies have forgotten what business they're in? The recent exposure of murky practices and less than savoury activities within media agencies has raised a lot of questions about the legitimacy and responsibility of media agency practices. However there is a bigger question worth posing: have some big media agencies simply forgotten what business they're really in? -
Don't let puns become another victim of the Woolworths Anzac debacle
While Woolworths has received much-deserved opprobrium for its 'Fresh in our memories' Anzac Day campaign Chris Taylor fears puns could become the underserved victim of the backlash for advertisers. Ah, puns. The copywriter's equivalent of the dad joke. Harmless, chuckle-worthy, eye-rollingly good plays on words that make us expel air out of our noses at a rate faster than normal for at least one breath. -
Why Amazon's Dash Button might be the marketing innovation of the decade
In this guest post, Eaon Pritchard argues that getting upstream of the problem means that commodity brands can finally forget about notions of 'engagement' and just be happy with selling more stuff more often. We conducted a small survey on supermarket shopping behaviour using the agency staff as our sample group of around 50. It was relatively unscientific, however, the aim was to crudely test one particular covert thought. We simply asked our respondents if they used a shopping list when visiting the supermarket. -
Mortein: To post or not to post?
Mortein was this week forced to apologise and pull a Facebook post which showed its mascot, Louie the fly, voicing his sympathy for murdered schoolteacher Stephanie Scott. Isobar's Tom Kearney looks at where the social media team went wrong. To post or not to post? That was the question raised on Sunday when bug spray brand Mortein decided to create a Facebook post relating to the murder of schoolteacher Stephanie Scott. So, how does a brand judge whether it's appropriate or not to comment on a sensitive topic on social media? Are there rules that govern posts for everyone, brands and individuals alike? Does it boil down to understanding your place? -
Why is the phrase 'Life, drink it in' too subversive for Aussies to handle?
In this opinion piece Mitchell Taylor argues the ban on the latest ad campaign from his winery is "political correctness and the nanny state gone too far". 'Life, Drink it in'. It seems a pretty good tagline for life, a nice message to get up and out and drink from life's cup (responsibly of course). But I'm afraid this seemingly innocuous tagline, accompanying some beautiful imagery shot by one of the nation's finest photographers, is simply too shocking, too provocative, too dangerous for your eyes. -
A brand has elbowed its way into the conversation about a tragic murder. And nobody seems to mind. What am I missing?
Is the murder of schoolteacher Stephanie Scott an acceptable topic for a brand to use to drive Facebook engagement? Mortein's apparently successful decision to do so puzzles Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes. Sometimes you think you know how something's going to unfold on social media, and you turn out to be completely wrong. -
Breathtaking television: why Game of Thrones leaves the rest behind
Power, passion, intrigue and teenage assassins. In this cross-posting from The Conversation Jason Jacobs looks at why HBO drama Game of Thrones is such compelling TV and the lessons for content makers. When Game of Thrones returns to screens for its fifth season on Sunday night, US time, it will no doubt continue to attract the critical and popular praise that it richly deserves.
Visual Jazz Isobar to hire robotic engineers and industrial designers for innovation unit NowLab
Aegis-owned digital agency Visual Jazz Isobar has rolled out its research and development unit NowLab in Australia.
The unit is geared towards looking into new technologies and how they can be used by brands, and is looking to hire robotic engineers and industrial designers to work in the business.
Originally an Isobar product, the launch comes nine months after the merger of Isobar and Visual Jazz to form Visual Jazz Isobar in February.
The unit is not to be confused with JumpTank, an innovation unit Aegis Media launched around the time of the Isobar-Visual Jazz merger to service media agencies Mitchells, Carat, MPG and Vizeum.
Konrad Spilva, managing director for Visual Jazz Isobar said: "NowLab is all about leveraging the best technical and creative minds at VJI to rapidly prototype new products and applications aimed at solving a business problem or creating new revenue streams for our clients. It's a collaborative process and already many of our clients have jumped at the opportunity to explore what NowLab can offer."
New technologies NowLab will be exploring include a 3D printer from Cubify, 60-inch smart TV from Samsung and a brainwave reader from Emotiv. A Ouya video game console, which brings games from any developer to a TV screens, and a Leap Motion device, which allows consumers to interact with their computer using natural hand and finger movements, are also to be investigated.
NowLab has already began to work with a number of Aegis clients.
Australia was one of the networks last regions to see the NowLab launched. It already exists in Europe, the US, South America and other parts of Asia Pacific.

Great move…well done VJI
"robotic engineers" … Would love to be a fly in the wall in those interviews… "Do no compute"…
Maybe they should hire some Robotics Engineers instead.

Ronan Fire Control dispatches 200-plus to western blazes Unless you've been roughing it all summer in the Mission Wilderness, you know that three of five states west of the Reservation are on fire and have been for a few weeks now. The story's of local interest because some 220-plus firefighters based in Ronan have been on the scene there since late August, fighting blazes that have blackened more than 600,000 acres. Estimates are that it will take some areas a century to recover from the largely lightning-caused devastation. Rumor has it that the traveling fire crews may be gone until November. Fire Dispatcher Homer Courville said Sept. 9 that he couldn' t totally discount that estimation. 4Things are still desperate down there in California and Oregon, where 11 of our crews are," he said, "so it's anybody's guess when they might be back." If California's dry, hot "Santa Ana" winds show up on schedule this month, the many fires there could take off again, he said, lengthening the Ronan crews' stay. With 11 crews out, is the Reservation in danger of being short-handed should a summer storm start any action here? Not really, Courville said. They've purposely not sent out two trained crews from the Kicking Horse Job Corps Center so they'd be available in case of emergency, he noted. In addition, there are about a dozen seasonal Fire Control workers still at the Ronan base, along with a number of permanent staffers. So far this year, about 30 fires have been handled within Reservation boundaries. With continued dry weather in store, the fire-condition status locally has been upgraded from "moderate" to "high". If conditions get worse, use-of-the-outdoors restric-(Concludes on page four) W if) OD 0> « o Z o O -C/5 O c/3 1 Are you ready for Native American Day? It's customary for the governor of Montana to declare the last Friday of September as "Native American Day". In past years, several Reservation schools have scheduled special activities for that day — sometimes for the whole week beforehand. Now, the Tribal newsletter isn't always successful in advertising the different schools' "doings", but it's not for lack of trying. Each year about this time, we have the same phone conversion from Arlee to Evaro: "Hi, this is Char-Koosta News calling to ask about your school's Native American Day schedule. Do you have anything planned, like a dance demonstration, speakers, chili and frybread?" — those last three words said in a hopeful tone of voice. The answer usually goes, "Oh, gee, it is about that time, isn't it?

Wainwright looks to retain stopper role for Cardinals
St. Louis calls on ace for matinee Interleague matchup in Oakland
It isn't often that Adam Wainwright picks up a loss. It's even more rare that the Cardinals ace will lose three in a row -- something he's done just three times in his seven-year career, the most recent being late last season (Aug. 31-Sept. 11).
But after dropping two straight for the first time this season, Wainwright will be hoping to avoid exactly that Saturday against the Athletics.
With Wainwright on the mound, the Cardinals will take on the A's for the middle meeting of a three-game Interleague series. St. Louis is in the midst of an eight-game stretch of games in American League West ballparks.
"You have the obvious difference with the DH and the pitcher not hitting," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Other than that, it's the normal adjustments when you're facing teams you haven't seen much and doing all your research to make sure you've prepared as well as you can."
Matheny suggested that the Cardinals will continue to rotate players at designated hitter, allowing several starting position players to essentially work half-days. In the first three games of the trip, Matheny used Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday and Allen Craig in the DH spot, inserting bench players Shane Robinson and Matt Adams as starters in the field.
The A's knocked the Cardinals off their perch atop the Majors with a 6-1 victory Friday night, preventing St. Louis from keeping pace with the Pirates for the best record in baseball, a title the Cardinals have held since May 21.
"You see the numbers, they're a very good team," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "They're leading the league in hitting, they're leading the league in defense, they're percentage points down in ERA. It's a complete team that can beat you in a lot of different ways, so you have to play very well to beat them."
Friday's win gave the A's (47-34) their best record after 81 games since 1992, when they were 48-33. The 47 victories are already Oakland's most before the All-Star Game since 2008 when they went 51-44 into the break.
Jarrod Parker will toe the rubber opposite Wainwright. Since dropping his first four decisions to begin the year, the A's right-hander has lost just two games in his past 11 starts, picking up six victories.
A's: Catcher position in flux
Either John Jaso or Derek Norris will start at catcher on Saturday.
Recent callup Stephen Vogt has started the past three games, homering Friday night for his first big league hit after an 0-for-32 start, and Norris will likely get the nod with Jaso's injured left hand still in question.
Cardinals: Kelly makes extended relief appearance
Right-hander Joe Kelly is in line to join the rotation on July 6, but in the meantime, he will continue as an option out of the bullpen.
Kelly pitched 5 1/3 innings of relief Friday, allowing three hits and one run after starter Shelby Miller was lifted in the second inning.
Multiple off-days have allowed the Cardinals to operate with a four-man rotation until a fifth starter is needed.
Worth noting
• A.J. Griffin tossed the A's third complete-game shutout of the season Wednesday, which is most in the American League and second most in the Majors behind the Cardinals' four.
• Wainwright's 10.60 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the best in the Majors by a wide margin. The next closest is Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma at 5.88. Wainwright has walked just 10 batters through 116 2/3 innings.

Chemical Week Magazine :: Regulatory EFSA develops new approach for cumulative risk assessment of pesticides11:04 AM MDT | July 16, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) says it has pioneered a new approach that paves the way for implementation of cumulative risk assessment, a technique that enables assessment of the risk posed by simultaneous exposure to several pesticides. Pesticides are classified into so-called cumulative assessment groups, based on identifying compounds that exhibit similar toxicological properties in a specific organ or system. The authority's panel on plant protection products and their residues (PPR) has applied the methodology to define groups of... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

Short for the most tremendous medication ever created - OXYCONTIN! All one must do is remove the outer coating, crush into a fine powder, and then rail it in your nostrils!
Rump took hundreds of milligrams of oxy every day up his nostrils, and sat on the couch for a year and watched movies.

Short for oxycodone, not OxyContin which is actually a brand name. It's an opiate found in Percocet (with APAP), Percodan (with Aspirin), OxyContin (a time released form), and a few other brands as well. It is stronger than codein and hydrocodone, and some say it beats morphine as well. It's not as strong as oxymorphone (which you have to inject or take up the butt) or hydromorphone or heroin, but it's some lovely shit anyway

oxy is a pill that is growing in popularity by the day, most likely in your hometown, and very likely in your neighborhood.Comes in a variety of different colors, so you can coordinate wich ones you snort with the clothes your wearing so the stain you get on your shirt from taking the coating off doesnt stand out. -lol- just kidding folks! DONT DO IT!!!

(oxcontin) or (oxycodone) fuckin great opioid based painkiller for the treatment of moderate to severe pain or a great trip, all one must do to eliminate time release (which isnt just the outer coating) is crush it then they can chew it, drink it with liquid, rail it, or inject it which is where it gets its nickname hillbilly heroin for its high when injected is comparable to that of heroin only it doesnt last as long

If someone uses the word oxy, they're refering to oxycontin. Only oxycontin is known as oxy, even though many other drugs contain oxycodone.

Guess who's in the new Modern Blocks book?
I am so excited to announce that I'm going to be featured in my second title with Stash Books. I had a blast working on the Moda Bake Shop book, Fresh Fabric Treats, and can now announce that I am included alongside many other talented quilters and bloggers in Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks from Your Favorite Designers.
This book is as straightforward as it sounds: nothing but block patterns, and lots of 'em. All of the blocks are designed to be 12", which makes this book a great resource for anyone making sampler quilts or participating in quilting bees.
My block's not on the cover and I'm not able to share it just yet, but the book is scheduled to be released in October 2011 ... which seems far away, but is right around the corner. I can't wait to see the other 98 fantastic blocks in this book!
25 comments:
wow - another medal for the chest :) congratulations - can't wait to see it. I'm still waiting for fresh fabric treats to arrive - the first was lost in the post so hopefully the second will get to me and now I've had to go and pre-order this one - gee I'll soon have more books than fabric - only kidding :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Look how far you've come in the last 3 years! When I had to keep bed because of a fever I read your blog back to front, starting in 2008 and finishing in 2011. I admire your confidence to tackle new and intimidating projects (like paperpiecing :o)). Amazing how your skills improved! This book is another proof!
Happy sewing in your new home.
Best regards
Christinecongratulations! i am really looking forward to this book! i also wanted to stop by and say thank you, because a quilt posted on your sew mama sew interview I was reading helped me figure out how to credit a recent pattern I just used for a quilt top- I found a photo on Flickr and made up the rest, but now I am happy to give credit where credit is due (it is the Happy Zombie Rectangle Reverie quilt, i case I got you all curious.)

School pizza deal a win for Manchester official
Ward 8 Alderman Katsiantonis placed the winning bid this year to supply students at city schools with pizza.
The Board of School Committee voted unanimously to award him the contract on Sept. 9. School officials confirmed he was the lowest bid.
Katsiantonis said years ago, before he was an alderman but while he was in the state legislature, he questioned why the school district didn't put its pizza contract out to bid; soon the policy was changed. He estimated the district saves about $70,000 a year because of the change.
Ward 5 school board member and Subcommittee on Finance Chairman Ted Rokas said the fact that Grand Slam Pizza is owned by a city alderman came up briefly, but wasn't dwelled upon by school board members.
Papa Gino's had the contract the last three fiscal years, according to school officials.

The reason for this word choice is that the fixture ensconces, or shelters, the light source. Sconces held candles that were used for illuminating rooms before electricity was invented. … [Read more...]

That would still mean that you have to render all the other windows in a redirected fashion. When you have a fullscreen unredirected app or the compositor off, everything is rendered directly.
I understand, how the compositing windows managers interfere with overall gaming performance, including vsync, as games (all other apps) get rendered indirectly.
Basically, every window is redirected to an offscreen buffer, and the composite manager draws them 'manually' onto the root window (e.g. including shadows and other visual effects).
KWin and Compiz offer the possibility to disable the composition for fullscreen root windows, which works ok (except for e.g. multi monitor setups or non-fullscreen games).
Wouldn't it make sense, to generally disable composition for the foremost/focused window (as long as it's not transparent), and just draw all other windows, as well as the shadows (including the shadow of the foremost window) to the root window image?
That should (imho) work for all games/apps, and the framerate/vsync won't depend on the compositing window manage anymore. Or do i miss anything?
That would still mean that you have to render all the other windows in a redirected fashion. When you have a fullscreen unredirected app or the compositor off, everything is rendered directly.
right. but that way you could still give full performance to the foremost (non-redirected) window, while the compositor could render the others when idle.
E.g. a game in the foremost/focus window could run with 60 fps, while the compositor renders the others with 20 fps.
What about effects on the foremost window (wobbly window on moving, window preview in the task bar, etc.)? You would have to redirect it at least as long as the effect is active and maybe have annoying flickering when switching between direct and redirected rendering.
When applying (e.g. wobbly) effects, the comp manager would have to composite it for that period of time.
Why do you think that it would be flickering? And even if it is for 1 frame, wouldn't that be worth the performance improvement?
Other desktop effects like window previews are possible using e.g. x(shm)getimage, and can easily be optimized using XDamage.
You would have to redirect it at least as long as the effect is active
Well, I don't know anything about the internals, just my experience with kwin. When disabling compositing all my chromium windows go blank for a short time and when enabling compositing the window decorations flicker. Maybe it could be implemented better, I don't know.
Maybe some effects can be replaced with other methods but there are still lots of effects to cover. Maybe they aren't useful but they are available in compiz and kwin, etc like controlling transparency, saturation, contrast, etc. of windows or zooming the whole desktop...
@ChrisXY, i did some tests using pygtk, it's possible to turn composite on and off without any flickering.
So if something flickers, it's rather an issue in the implementation.
In general, I don't want to get rid of composition, but it should get optimized more aggressively. If there aren't effects or transparency required on foremost windows (should be the cast for most apps/games, unlike semi-transparent consoles), why not allow direct rendering?

Righty prospects set to face off in O's, Nats tilt
Gausman's second big league start comes in Karns' MLB debut
There's been a lot of excitement surrounding Orioles rookie Kevin Gausman, who will make his second Major League start on Tuesday against the Nationals. The 22-year-old right-hander, the O's No. 2 prospect, was the fourth overall pick of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft and shot through Baltimore's system before debuting last Thursday at Toronto.
Gausman's line vs. the Blue Jays was nothing special -- he allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out five in five innings -- but he flashed his electric stuff, with a fastball that reaches into the high 90s and an excellent changeup. The outing was a learning experience for a pitcher who has made all of 13 Minor League starts, including eight at Double-A and none at Triple-A.
"You know, they're going to hit mistakes," Gausman said. "Looking back on my last start, I watched video of it the day after, and all the balls that they hit really hard for extra-base hits were balls that I missed my spot or didn't make the pitch that I was trying to make."
At the same time, Gausman realized that his stuff is good enough to work at the big league level and that he simply needs to focus on keeping the ball down and getting ground balls. He also knows that he has a significant asset in catcher Matt Wieters, whom he didn't shake off once in his first start.
"Yeah, you know, he's been around these hitters, he knows them way more than me, more than a lot of guys," Gausman said. "So I trust him completely, and whatever he's thinking, I have full faith in him and I'll just try to throw that pitch with conviction."
Gausman actually has more big league experience than his opponent, Nathan Karns. The Nationals announced after Monday's game that they will call up Karns, the Nats' No. 6 prospect, from Double-A Harrisburg to make the start for Ross Detwiler, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list (oblique strain) on Sunday.
"He's one of the good young arms in the organization," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He's been throwing the ball pretty good lately."
The 25-year-old right-hander has a 2.70 ERA in three Minor League seasons, including 4.60 in nine starts for Double-A Harrisburg this year. He was the Nationals' 12th-round pick in the 2009 Draft out of Texas Tech and impressed the club during Spring Training.
"He throws hard, got a good hard breaking ball -- more of a slurve -- got a good change," Johnson said.
Orioles: Hunter's injury not serious
Right-hander Tommy Hunter is hoping to be available out of the bullpen on Tuesday after sitting out Monday's game with an injury to his pitching hand. Hunter barehanded a hard-hit ball from Toronto's Jose Bautista on Sunday, and while his palm was slightly swollen on Monday, a second X-ray taken Monday also came back negative.
• Closer Jim Johnson, who blew his fourth save in five opportunities on Sunday, will continue to get the ball in save situations. Johnson converted 51 of his 54 chances a year ago and has been working with pitching coach Rick Adair on making some adjustments.
Nationals: Harper out with knee trouble
Outfielder Bryce Harper likely will miss his second straight game on Tuesday with bursitis in his left knee. The injury stems from Harper's collision with the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium on May 13, and he aggravated it with a pair of head-first slides on Sunday.
Team doctor Wiemi Douoguih said an MRI revealed no structural damage in the knee, but if Harper plays, he risks having the swelling flare up again. Manager Davey Johnson could keep the 20-year-out off the field by putting him at designated hitter when the series moves to Baltimore on Wednesday and Thursday.
• Second baseman Danny Espinosa is aiming to return to the lineup on Wednesday or Thursday as he recovers from bone chips in his right wrist. Espinosa tested the wrist during hitting and fielding practice on Monday morning and will wait to see if the joint swells overnight.
Worth noting
• Last season, the Nationals made the playoffs for the first time since moving to Washington in 2005, while the Orioles qualified for the postseason for the first time since 1997, when they were managed by current Nationals skipper Johnson.
"I think it's great, I think it's wonderful. I've been excited about it," Johnson said of the series. "It's no secret I love this area. There's been some hard times here, and there's been some hard times in Baltimore. They're great football towns, they should be great baseball towns, too. Baltimore is, it's kind of been struggling here until last year. But I like their ballclub. They've got some good young pitchers. They've got a great offensive club, a great defensive club. It should be great, I'm excited for it. Should be a great [matchup]."
• The Nationals' loss on Monday was their first against an American League team this season, dropping them to 5-1 and 23-16 since the start of 2011. They entered the day with the Majors' fifth-best Interleague winning percentage over that span.
• The Nationals are 1-4 this season when facing opposing rookie pitchers.
• The Orioles have scored at least five runs in 10 consecutive road games for the first time in franchise history, according to Elias.

Racy Pictures of Lala Vazquez Surface
Last week at the Goodman vs. Melo league, Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony had 2 cell phones stolen. Now racy photos of his wife, entertainer Lala Vazquez, have surfaced on the internet. This really is not a big deal but what they do in their own time is their business only. It is a big deal that somebody who went to a show that Melo put on (the Melo-Goodman game) stole his phones and exposed his wife online. I think it is absolutely absurd and I hope they find the person or persons that did this. The pictures do not reveal her naked or anything and she has done some modeling in the past so these pictures are not the end of the world but they were meant for Melo only and it is sad that they have now hit the internet. Again, this is not the biggest deal in the world but it is disappointing that somebody would do this.
The pictures can be seen here.
