i bought this item hoping to be upgrading to a stylish phone and have a lot of the amenities that other people talk about. when i got this item, it was a disaster. it wont turn onuntil i put it in my computer, and it wont work with the mac i have, so i had to take it to a public computer to activate the item, which took a few hours because i didnt know my gmail password, having not used it in a very long time. i finally was able to turn it on, only to find out that it didnt come with a charger. i have since went back to my old phone.

Favourite sci-fi/fantasy composer?
View Single Post
October 11 2009, 10:32 AM

Location: Am I a Cylon?
Re: Favourite sci-fi/fantasy composer?
I'd definitely have to say John Williams. He created so many sci-fi/fantasy scores that have become, well, timeless classics, I guess.
In addition, I think there's a great variety in the material he produced. "Star Wars"*, for example, is a completely different beast compared to the amazing "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" or "A.I.", for example.
There are definitely many amazing composers out there who've created sci-fi/fantasy scores I love (e.g. Vanglis' music for "Blade Runner", Goldsmith's "Total Recall", Poledouris' "Starship Troopers", and just many, many more). But I think nobody comes close to the body of work that Williams managed to create over several decades.
I definitely also have to mention Bear McCreary. He's still very young, and it's still pretty early in his career. But he has amazed me with the work I've heard so far on nuBSG. If he keeps up like this he could well take over the number one spot. But there's still a long way to go, I think
*I'd just like to briefly comment on the "Lord of the Rings" music. Personally, I was and am still very disappointed by it, actually. I don't perceive the breadth and depth that was mentioned by Neroon, to be honest. Instead, I find it to be, well, rather lacklustre in its use of 'epic saga clichés' such as the choir that always kicks in when things are supposed to be particularly impressive.
The reason I mention this in connection with the Star Wars scores is that I remember hoping that the "The Lord of the Rings" music would be like a modern version of the "Star Wars" scores, in a sense, delivering the same musical variety in particular with respect to the characters and their themes. But what I heard in the end I found to be far less exciting, varied and engaging.

|Criterion A
|Esk War Memorial, erected in 1921, is important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history, being evidence of a widespread social movement expressing Australian patriotism and nationalism during and immediately following the First World war [1914-18].
|Criterion D
|The First World War Memorial demonstrates the principal characteristics of a class of commemorative structures erected as a record of the local impact of a major historical event and intended to endure, and is a major regional example of its type.
|Criterion E
|The place exhibits aesthetic characteristics valued by the community, including the landmark quality and aesthetic value and craftsmanship of the First World War memorial, and the contribution of the park and memorial to the Esk townscape.
|Criterion G
|The place has a special association for the Esk community as a form of public recognition of local participation in a major historical event.
|Criterion H
|The memorial is significant as an unusual example of the work of Ipswich architect GB Gill.
|Esk Memorial Park was proclaimed a reserve for memorial purposes in 1979, but a First World War memorial has stood on the site, at the intersection of Highland and Ipswich Streets, since 1921. The memorial was commissioned by the Esk Patriotic Committee on behalf of the shire of Esk. Subscriptions commenced in 1916, and tenders were called in April 1919 by prominent Ipswich architect George Brockwell Gill. The foundation stone was laid on 30 November 1920, and the memorial was unveiled in 1921, probably in September. The masonry work was carried out by the Ipswich firm of Frank Williams & Co., and the art metalwork was supplied by Wunderlich Ltd of Sydney. It cost £885. This was not the first war memorial in the shire. Colinton had erected an honour board at the local School of Arts building in 1916, and a stone memorial in 1917. The Toogoolawah War Memorial had been unveiled in March 1917. In 1983 the memorial park was extended, and a stone memorial to Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement who was murdered while exploring the Brisbane Valley in 1830, was erected in the park in 1984. The site was landscaped in 1985. In 1988 some of the lettering on the First World War memorial was restored, and two plaques commemorating Australian sacrifice in post-1945 conflicts were affixed. In 1991 another plaque was attached, honouring those who fell in the Second World War.
|Esk Memorial Park, which contains two stone monuments and landscaped paths and gardens, is located in the main street of Esk. The First World War memorial consists of a sandstone plinth with four ionic corner pilasters and an entablature sheeted in bronze. Recessed into each of the four faces is a marble tiled panel with a bronze honour roll of 462 shire residents who enlisted together with the letters AIF and its emblem. The memorial sits on a stepped base of concrete aggregate. Three bronze honour rolls bearing the names of 83 local men who fell during the First World War are fixed to the side and rear of the plinth. Four commemorative plaques bearing inscriptions 1939 - World War II 1945, 1914 - The Great War - In Honour Of Our Boys - 1919, Korea - Malaya, and Borneo - Vietnam are fixed to the front of the plinth. Also located within the park is a memorial to Captain Logan. This consists of a single, upright sandstone block. Fixed to the northern face is a bronze plaque bearing an inscription in white lettering. The park is landscaped with native trees and palms, and includes pathways, a barbecue area, seating and a children's playground.

If you follow the directions above, you will receive a return receipt.
No, I do not collect Earned Income. Earned Income is collected by the "Appointed" Tax collector which is Berkheimer.
I cannot answer any questions reqarding the EIT, please contact them directly at www.hab-inc.com
County Real Estate bills are mailed March 1st.
School Real Estate bills are mailed July 1st.
"THE TAX NOTICE MUST BE MAILED OR DELIVERED TO THE LAST KNOWN POST OFFICE ADDRESS OF EACH OF THE TAXABLES. tHE TAX COLLECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR GIVING NOTICE END WHEN THIS ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. FAILURE TO RECEIVE A TAX BILL DOES NOT RELIEVE ANY TAXPAYER FROM LIABILITY FOR PROMPT PAYMENT OF TAXES IMPOSED BY THE TAXING DISTRICT" taken from the Local Tax Collection Law, Section 6

Taxes not paid on or before Dec 31st will be forwarded to the appropriate taxing authorities for collection.
Do you accept payments postmarked on the due date?
Yes, however if a payment is received after the due date and the postmark is illegible or is after the due date it will be considered a late payment and your payment will be returned to you for the additional amount
Please note that if you are making a payment through your online banking, the e-checks that are issued are mailed WITHOUT a postmark date. You will also need to forward the tax bill in order for payment to be applied. E-checks receive with no tax bill WILL BE RETURNED. Date you issued your e-check is not necessarily the date it is mailed. Postmark rule is followed.
At this time credit cards are not accepted by the Trappe Tax Collector
What types of payments do you accept?
Personal Check, certified/bank check and money order. Cash will be accepted providing you have exact change and must be made in person.
Cash payments exceeding or expected to exceed $10,000.00 will be required to complete IRS Form 8300. NO EXCEPTIONS or cash will not be excepted.
DO NOT place cash in the drop box located at Boro Hall.
I took my payment to Borough Hall and they would not accept it. Why?
The elected Tax Collector or Duly Appointed Deputy (in the event I am incapacitated is the only person able to accept taxes for which they are elected to receive.
By law I am required to provide a receipt if you followed the instructions requesting one.
Where can I pay my bills in person?
You may pay your bill in person at Trappe Borough Hall located at 525 W. Main Street, Trappe during the collections hours listed on your tax bill.
No, please DO NOT come to my home to make your tax payment. First and foremost, I do not have provisions that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act nor do I have provision as required by law to accept payments at my home.
This also applies to dropping you payment in my mailbox. Please do not place your payment in my mailbox. Instances have occurred where payments were taken out by the mail carrier thinking this was outgoing mail.
Be courteous and respectful with regards to privacy and personal property o the Tax Collector.
NOTE: The U.S. Postal Service would like to warn people that only authorized U.S. Postal Service delivery personnel are allowed to place items in a mailbox. By law, a mailbox is intended only for receipt of postage-paid U.S. Mail.
I tried to call many times during collection hours and you never answer. Why?
If you are calling the tax phone number, that rings at a different loation. I do not have access to a phone during collection hours at Borough Hall.
What needs to be included when making a online banking service for my checks?
Tax bills MUST be submitted when making online payments. Tax collectors are required to "stamp the bill paid" when accepting payment. Please mail your tax bill stating when online payment will be made and it will be matched up with your payment when received. NEW FOR 2015 - all tax bills will contain a barcode, payments received will be scanned in order to post your payment.
You should also do the following when using online banking services to pay your taxes, in the memo section you MUST include your parcel/pin number (12 digits starting with 2300) for property taxes.
If payment cannot be CLEARLY identified it will be returned. Your name and address are not clear indications of what you are paying.
TAX BILLS MUST BE SENT IN PRIOR TO MAKING YOUR ONLINE PAYMENT SO THAT I HAVE THE TAX BILL WHEN YOUR E-CHECK IS RECEIVED. If tax bill is not received prior, your check will be returned so you can resubmit with the bill.
NO. Absolutely not. I do not have the authority to waive the additional fees or penalties if your taxes are late (whether they were mailed & received late, or if I needed to return your payment because it was incorrectly written)
Real Estate Questions
I sold my house and my name is still on the tax bill. Why?
The information to prepare the tax bills is received from the Montgomery County records 4-5 weeks before your tax bill is mailed. Therefore, whatever the records reflect as of January or May will be the information used to prepare the bills.
Can you change the address on my bill?
Yes I can make a "mailing address" change. The change must be submitted at least 1 month before the next billing period in order for it to be updated in the County's records.
This information can be emailed or mailed to me in order to make the change foryou.
Can you change or delete a name on the bill?
NO. Names cannot be changed - unless it is truly a misspelled name. The name on your bills comes from the County records which match the deed to your property, therefore the name on your bill cannot be removed or changed unless a new deed is recorded.
The name of a deceased person can be removed - you will need to contact the recorder of deeds in Montgomery County and provide copy of the death certificate. Please contact them directly and I will be notified.
How is the assessment on my home determined?
Trappe Borough does not assess homes, this is done at the County level. Questions on this matter should be directed to the Montgomery County Board of Assessment Office at 610-278-3761 or www.montcopa.org
I have no children in the school district why do I have to pay taxes?
School real estate taxes are to be assessed to everyone who owns property within the district's boundaries. Property taxes are based on the value of your property. Property values are determined by the Montgomery County Board of Assessments. At this time if you own property, you are required to pay school real estate taxes whether you have children in the district or not. It's the law.
My property taxes are too high, how can they be lowered?
With the decline in real estate values, many homeowners have opted to appeal their property assessments. Property tax appeal forms can be found at www.montcopa.org . There is a fee to have your appeal reviewed, so make sure you have done your homework and can substantiate your appeal.
What is the Homestead Exclusion?
Under a homestead or farmstead property tax exclusion, the assessed value of each homestead or farmstead is reduced by the amount of exclusion before the property tax is computed.
(The 2012-2013 homestead excluson rate was $7,192.00).
The 2013 - 2014 homestead exclusion rate is $6,823.00.
In order for you, as a property owner, to qualify and receive a property tax you must file a homestead or farmstead exclusion application with the Board of Assessment Appeals and your application must be approved. Only your primary residence, the dwelling that you own and live in, can qualify as a homestead. You cannot claim a homestead in another county or state.
As of current year (if qualified) example:
current assessment value $180,000.00
less current homestead of $ 6,823.00
Net Taxable Assessment $ 173,177.00
I am a Disabled Veternan, how do I apply for exemption?
You may qualify for exemption, please follow the link below for information
Do you have information on the Property Tax/Rent Rebate?
The income eligibility level for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program has been raised from $15,000 a year to $35,000 a year, excluding half of Social Security income, and the maximum rebate was increased from $500 to $650 for homeowners. Claimants or spouses 65 years of age or older; widows or widowers 50 years of age or older; and the permanently disabled 18 years of age or older may qualify for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.
Please visit the following link for additional information and forms.
How do installment for the school tax work?
You may have the option to payment in installments. If you choice the installment option, you are waiving your option for any discounts.
The first school installment must be received by August 31st.
If the first installment is not received, this will void future installments for the year.
Second installment must be received by October 31st. If you pay after October 31st you must pay the 10% penalty amount,
Third installment is due on December 31st (post mark rule does not apply), If not received, outstanding balance with 10% penalty will be liend.
**** You cannot pay your first installment in early July and decide in August you want to pay the remaining two and still receive the discount. If the first installment was received and posted, you cannot take advance of any discounts, although you can prepay the remaining two installments ahead of schedule*****

SEC media poll has Florida third in East
Not that it matters much, but there aren't many Florida believers in the SEC media.
10:16 am Jul. 18, 2013
Not that it matters much, but there aren't many Florida believers in the SEC media.
10:53 am Jul. 22, 2011
Good thing Gators coach Will Muschamp's motto is, "I don't read the internet," because he won't like this.
The SEC media poll was released this morning, and …
10:27 am Jul. 28, 2010
Everybody heard Alabama coach Nick Saban's rant on agents being like pimps, right?
11:02 am Jul. 23, 2010
Before you read the results of the SEC pre-season media poll, know this: the poll has picked the correct champion only four times in 18 tries.
1:55 pm Jul. 22, 2010
Please let this guy keep his job.
In a week filled with ill-timed, ill-delivered jokes that elicited zero laughs, Robbie Caldwell was hilarious. Caldwell, the 56-year-old interim coach at Vanderbilt, was unstoppable once he stepped to the podium at SEC Football Media Days.
1:20 pm Jul. 22, 2010
With the NCAA preparing to probe whether Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green attended the same Miami Beach agent party that sparked questions at South Carolina and North Carolina, the Bulldogs are not discussing the potential investigation.
11:33 am Jul. 22, 2010
Is Dan Mullen the diet version of Lane Kiffin? Probably not, but he ran his mouth a little at SEC Football Media Days yesterday when informed of Nick Saban's fairly innocuous comment.
Saban praised the spread offense's success in college, but added that running it can hinder a player's NFL readiness.
6:32 pm Jul. 21, 2010
We'll get a full debrief later, but for now, here are the main points from Florida football coach Urban Meyer's 40-minute session at SEC Football Media Days in Hoover, Ala.
12:00 pm Jul. 21, 2010
An attorney for former Florida offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey rebutted the allegation that Pouncey accepted $100,000 from an agent.
6:20 pm Jul. 14, 2010
When the Southeastern Conference convenes in Hoover, Ala., next week for Media Days, the event will host national champion head coach Nick Saban and Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram.

Bernadette Dougherty may be a monster Phillies fan, but she's a mom first.
Glued to the television watching last night's Phillies-Rockies clash, Dougherty, 43, of Feasterville had to skip out at the beginning of the sixth inning to pick up her children.
It was in that inning Jayson Werth belted the first Daily News Home Run Playoff Payoff homer of the year making Dougherty $1,000 richer.
"I was watching the game and had to pick my kids up from CCD and of course the second I leave I miss hearing my name called. That would have been really cool to hear - but money's nice too."


text: Most athletes and coaches make nothing but mundane comments after games. They just watched the same game as everyone else, and although the athletes and coaches often have more nuanced observations, they rarely offer to share those insights. So, the insiders often end up providing basic, fact-based quotes that could come from anyone.

Verona Man Wins Back-To-Back 200-Mile Ultra Marathon | People
Title (Max 100 Characters)
A Verona man who started his quest to conquer the McNaughton 200 in Vermont last week is back home resting following back-to-back victories.
Verona.Channel3000.com first reported Ryan Dexter's mission of mobility earlier this month.
Last year, he entered and won his first 200-mile race, along the McNaughton Trail Run in Pittsfield, Vt. Dexter was on his feet for more than 61 hours. This year, he shaved about 10 hours from that pace.
Dexter ran 200 miles in 51 hours, 50 minutes and 24 seconds. He ran for more than two days straight, resting for only about an hour during the race.
"I'm trying to think if things could have worked out any better," Dexter said. "It was a near perfect race."
Only three of those that entered the race were able to finish. Dexter topped his nearest competitor by four hours.
He credits his faith and a mental toughness for keeping him going throughout the race.
"Mentally, I have to basically accept that this is the new reality. This is how it is now. My quads hurt, everything hurts. I can either accept it or stop," Dexter said. "That's probably a good metaphor for life. When things get really bad, it's not like they are going to get better today. So you just have to keep going."
Dexter said the 200-mile trek will be his last of that length. But he does plan to start running again in a couple of weeks. He will also be running in the upcoming Madison Marathon.
His mission of mobility has pushed well beyond his internal drive to conquer personal challenges.
Last year, through his blog and word of mouth, Dexter raised more than $12,000 for the international organization Free Wheelchair Mission. It's a group he first heard of through a charity drive at his family's church. This year he raised about $2,000 so far, but he said there's still time to make donations.
To donate to Dexter's cause, go to his Free Wheelchair Mission page. For information about Dexter's background and race history, go to his blog at, dexterthepunisher.blogspot.com.

Have a seat! Comfortable? Good, let me introduce myself to you then…
Have you ever heard the phrase "Carpe Diem" well if you haven't it means live each day to the fullest and that's how I like to live my life. I love to be active and adventurous. People close to me say that I'm very respectful and honest and that I'm very family oriented. When people meet me they say I'm very quiet and shy but after knowing me better they say I'm fun to be around I have a good sense of humor and very caring. I believe the people that have had most influence in my life would have to be my sister and mother. They have always been there to support me and I know I can I always count on them. Something I would love to do that I haven't done is travel to exotic places that will disappear in the next couple of years. I'm looking for a person that I can share things with outside of my family and friends. There are many important qualities an ideal match should have but I believe these qualities should be in the girl I'm looking for Smart, Good Sense of Humor and independent girl, and an overall good caring girl...

Originally written on NBA 24/7 365 | Last updated 12/12/12
Prior to their 94-89 win in Chicago, it'd been a while — about twenty years, to be specific — since the last time the Clippers won seven games in a row. Back when Blake Griffin was still rocking pampers, Ron Harper, Danny Manning, and the '91/92 Clippers ran off eight consecutive victories on their way to a seventh place finish in the 13-team Western Conference. At 47-35, they were a solid playoff squad… but not quite the traveling aerial exhibition that the current Clipps have become. In the second quarter of LA's seventh straight W, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan put on one of their signature dunking demonstrations, treating 21,571 to one hell of a show… Griffin, who was recently awarded Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career, finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds on 10-19. If I'm not mistaken, six of those field goals were dunks. As for DJ, he had a quiet offensive night (7 points on 3-5) but made an impact on the glass with 10 boards of his own. I can't remember if all three of his field goals were dunks, but he is DeAndre Jordan, so probably. How come this spectacular-type sh!t never happens when I go to NBA games? Man, I'd settle for one Griffin-style slam! These folks in Chicago got straight up spoiled…

Michigan delegates to NEA's Representative Assembly will join more than 7,000 educators on their way to Orlando to help set education policy and talk about what's best for students. The annual meeting starts July 3 and runs through July 6.
With national opposition to the overuse of standardized testing increasing, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) consortium is cutting 90 minutes off its 11-hour-long assessment. It has also decided to start the testing period later in the school year. PARCC's tests are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
A report by the Coalition for Psychology in Schools, "Top 20 Principles from Psychology for PreK-12 Teaching and Learning," and supported by the American Psychological Association, considers what teachers should know about the ways their students learn.
Make history come alive for your high school students by giving them the chance to collaborate on determining the best course of action for a governor during an actual historical event. "The Governor's Decision Room," presented through the Michigan Historical Center, can help you do that.
With an executive order, Gov. Snyder transferred the School Reform Office's K-12 education reform and accountability functions to the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB). Those functions had been under the Department of Education and will now be in a department Snyder controls.
The U.S. House is expected to pass a rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) this Friday. Unfortunately, this rewrite does nothing to help students learn or teachers teach. The focus has shifted to more testing, labeling of schools and then punishing them for their "failure," while doing nothing to close achievement gaps.
There's still time to register for next Building Full Capacity Locals training, "Reaching Your Members" on Feb. 25 at the Bloomfield Hills MEA office, 43252 Woodward Ave., Suite 200.
With states across the country—including Michigan—debating whether to implement a system that ranks schools on letter grades, a report by the Great Lakes Center for Education Research and Practice shows that using an A-F letter-grade ranking is invalid and fails to provide important information about a school's quality.
NEA has selected "The 5 Biggest Education Stories of 2014", reflecting education issues impacting members across the country—including Michigan. The stories deal with standardized testing, the student debt crisis, the assault on teacher due process, zero tolerance discipline policies and Common Core.

177.xx: Enabling kwin composition leaks memory.
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I'm testing KDE 4.1 on two of my workstations.
In both cases, once I enable kwin composition (AKA "effects") I experience a major performance hit, followed by a major memory leak (according to .xsession-errors [attached]) that more-or-less kills X after a while. (By slowing it down to death)
While noticeably slower, I cannot reproduce this bug when using the latest stable driver. (v173.14.09)
Just in case, I reported the bug upstream [1], but the KDE devs pointed a finger at nVidia.

Re: 177.xx: Enabling kwin composition leaks memory.
P.S. the machines in question:
A. Tyan S5396, 2 x Xeon E5335, 8GB, 9800GTX, Fedora 9, x86_64.
B. Intel X5000SVN, 2 x Xeon L5410, 8GB, 7600GT, Fedora 9, x86_64.

Re: 177.xx: Enabling kwin composition leaks memory.
Can anyone else reproduce this bug - or am I the only one hitting this problem?

You are not alone, see this thread for proof of other sufferers: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118977.
I also experience this problem however I'm not sure if it is nvidia at fault (for once...), it *could* be kwin or something, but given the lack of complains from others on kde forums and what not and nvidia's past history (black windows bug is strikingly reminiscent), it's probable.
Environment info:
177 drivers on intrepid ibex ubuntu amd64 on an x2 3800 amd proc wtih an 8800 gts and 320mB of mem, settings in use are currently with compositing disabled though I did start up x with it on. IPP=1 and GlyphCache seems irrelevant as I've tried both. I don't know how 173 faired with kde 4.1 but its only been recently with 173 that compiz played nice enough together and I could have week+ uptime again or the first time in years. Side note: friend has a similar setup with 7900 gt and my laptop running fedora rawhide with same configurations fitted to a t61p quadro 570m with 512mB of ram. All machines illustrate the same behaviors though. Seems to be worsened with with IPP=2 and any combination of the other xorg options in the performance thread manifesting as significantly many more pauses of which seem longer (15 seconds), more frequent, and start happening in only a few hours after a clean start.
The box I'm reporting on is my main machine and I usually start seeing symptoms at the end of a full day of use but really start feeling them the second, seems like the problem might even happen when the computer is not being used (and no screen saver, just blank screen).
Things run great for at least the first few hours of normal usage and then they start to drag. Particularly annoying is that I use mplayer in full screen alot with vo=xv. Also sometimes I accidentally hit maximize on random normal applications or page to another desktop - I run my dell 3007-hfc monitor at 2560x1600 though and while normally these things are no problem, when whatever resources get low because of this bug, x pauses and goes to 100% and said programs usually become unusably slow to work with when x comes back though x doesn't kill said processes and oom is never ran. Said processes become usable again when resized to a window small enough where the "small enough" seems to vary with how much of the mystery resource is available and thus needs smaller and smaller windows over time. X coming back can take almost a minute sometimes and I have nearly a gigabyte of memory free with 500 in phys though at start time I have 1 gig free of phys and 1 of swap, I mention this as it used to be my normal load minus cache (so no this is not about cache filling up ram otherwise unused ram). At time of writing, x has 676 virtual and 366 resident... I don't have that much stuff opened and nothing really interesting (no opengl) but I don't know whats normal for x anymore. Everything but firefox is laughably incomparible and even closing ff, I bet I'll be back up to full swap and nearly full phys tomorrow (if you couldn't tell, this isn't my first cycle through this) . Total memory usage is 1468/2008MB phys and 497/1027MB swap at this moment. Additionally this doesn't appear to have anything to do with paging and swap as my leds light up solid when my hd is accessed and nothing happens during this pausing period + no hd write/read noise. I've confirmed x taking 100% of a cpu at 2ghz during this pausing period through ssh, nothing else seems obvious at these times. X Idle cpu usage is fairly normal at only about 17% at 1ghz mode (I run with ondemand cpufreq) which it is returning to atm when i don't do *anything*.
On the more annoying side is that audio stuttering spanning multiple SECONDS happens when I do trivial operations involving windows - alt-tabbing (with the simple tabber), creating and closing after and including the second day. Sometimes even on simpler stuff like scrolling. This is probably because I use pulseaudio and despite its -11 niceness, when x goes berserk from said bug pulseaudio gets no cpu time to write new samples reliably, this is really annoying and when combined the other pauses is incredibly frustrating. Otoh I have only one x process and two cores and a context switch just doesn't take that long.... so I guess I'm clueless whats going on there, chrt to rr doesn't seem to change squat.
On the cheap hacks side of things, I've found that disabling compositing and reenabling within session forces a garbage collection of sorts and while eventually fails to do anything, will allow things to function for a while longer (the time the fix is good for decreases each time used but allows apps to fullscreen/maximize again and operate at normal speeds). The pauses still run rampant though. Also, this time around I started with compositing on but disabled it before things started getting bad and I'm still having same problems... perhaps I laid the seeds for this behavior by having it on in the first place though. Also, by stoping kdm and removing & reloading the nvidia module and starting back up, things seem to be ok for a while with seemingly all memory reclaimed but audio pauses seem to either start happening sooner or audio is just screwed because I get audio pauses at the same rates as when the system is taxed and forcing me to take it down for sanity. I don't think everythings as bad as when I have to restart x though but I don't do it often enough to give a completely accurate account.
Attached is a bug report for supporting info.
This bug has me rebooting every few days though and I greatly dislike losing my session and the lack of stability so whoever helps make a fix, you have my thanks.
</huge post>
Re: 177.xx: Enabling kwin composition leaks memory.
Every day or two I have to switch to a terminal and kill kwin. (I don't like to reboot or restart my computer / session unless it's planed.)

Ondo group eulogises Tinubu at 60
Members of Dynamic Circle Okeagbo in Ondo State have showered encomiums on former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his 60th birthday.
They described the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Natiional Leader as an icon and achiever par excellence.
In a statement, the socialites noted that Tinubu's efforts and contributions to the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria "cannot be quantified".
The statement reads: "We members of Dynamic Circle of Okeagbo Akoko, Ondo State, join the good people of Nigeria and the Yoruba race in particular to congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu on his 60th year on earth.
"To the members of Dynamic Circle and the majority of Okeagbo youths, who we represent, Tinubu is an icon and an achiever par excellence; his style of leadership is worthy of emulation. Through relentless service to the development of mankind and humanity, he has touched the lives of many people in positive ways.
"As a visionary leader, who is full of passion for the emancipation of the common man, he has been able to build round himself scores of successful elites who are ready to take up the mantle of leadership. This is seen as a major attribute of a great leader, which Tinubu is.
"Tinubu's efforts and contributions towards the emergence of democracy in Nigeria cannot be quantified. This dates back to his days as a Senator during the aborted Third Republic under the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd). Then, the events that followed forced Tinubu into exile in Europe and America, where himself and other patriotic Nigerians played prominent roles in the formation and finance of the dreaded National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), a major opposition group that launched international campaign against the despotic regime of the late General Sanni Abacha, to a halt.
"Again, the achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu as executive governor of Lagos State has remain a reference point. As governor, he demonstrated his passion for democracy, rule of law and equality of all before the law. Even in the face of frustration and threat to his life, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo withheld the state's federal allocation, Tinubu took the battle to the Supreme Court and the apex court ruled that it was unlawful to withhold Lagos State's fund.
"Tinubu's achievements and records as Governor of Lagos State provided the leverage for the success recorded by his successor, the energetic Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN).
"Therefore, as we celebrate Asiwaju Tinubu at 60, the Dynamic Circle, as a social group within Akoko Division in Ondo State, is using this medium to make a passionate appeal to our great leader not to relent in his effort until the best is achieved for the Yoruba race and the people of Nigeria..."

Disney Infinity - Toy Box Game Creation Trailer
Watch and learn about the game creation in this trailer for Disney Infinity, coming out on August 18th.
by Gajan Kulasingham on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Hmmm...What!!! Its LITTLE BIG PLANET.
I want to PLAY, NOT TO MAKE games. I'll leave that to the developers. :-)
all i see are ripoffs of mario, sonic, pilotwings, rcproam, fzero....
As a parent and a gamer let me preemptively come up with my answer if my kid wants this game:
"No. Now go play your Mario."
I just pre-ordered it....and all of the characters from the play sets it comes with......and 3 power dis packs and an album that holds them....yes I own every skylander and I have a problem
"Additional content and characters sold separately."
Nice cash cow incoming.
I haven't found any real answer, but has anyone come across if this game is going to also be on the XBO / ps4? It looks like fun and my GF and kids want it but I'm not sure if I should get it when it comes out or just hold off on getting the next gen version? I just don't want to end up paying for the game portion twice.
What frustrates me is that Nintendo could have had all this first.
I suggested all this and more before the Wii was even revealed fully.
I even suggested it should have been built directly into the console so that everyone could access and play with this type of software out the box on day one.
Now, imagine that on a Nintendo console around 7-8 years ago...
I was so far ahead of the curve but who am I for anyone to listen.
GREAT ! awesome game ! ive been waiting for it forever !
said no one ever
im so tired of the shitty WORLD OF TANKS commercial
@Poodlejumper All the money it takes to play this game aside would you buy this for your kid (or play it yourself) if it were a $60 game with all its content accessible from the disc
@Eyal-KOKO-Stern Just like Skylanders, but we all know Disneys version will cost more across the board lol, it always does. This does give you a lot more to do though and it looks like fun.
I actually emailed Disney with this exact same question and I got the typical big business response which means they didn't really answer the question.
They said that they were focusing their attention on the launch of the game and that means they are focusing on the platforms that are available when the game launches. They would not rule out that it could be available for future consoles, but they had no information at this time since they are only concerned with current platforms.
Read into this and I think they will be coming out for the PS4 and Xbox 1, but don't want to say so because then people might not go buy this when it launches in Aug to wait for the new version. Thus hurting their sales of the game. I know I don't want to buy it twice. But since we have no info on an xbox 1 version (which is what I will be getting when it comes out in Nov) I am stuck with buying it for the wii. I figure if my kids still are playing if and when the xbox comes out, I will get it for that platform as well..... but not everyone will do that.... \
Also, since Skylanders has announced they will be on the new platforms, I cant see Disney ignoring that market with its "new" big thing....
But they wont say....
@nickpeck36 They haven't officially announced it for PS4 or X1, but it could happen at some point. I think a straight-up port of the upcoming release to PS4/X1 is not very likely, but there will undoubtedly be a sequel or 'extra-stuff' version of some kind, after a year or two.
This might help you:
Quoted from article
Day added that toys and toy readers released now will be compatible with future consoles.
"We're going to be using the same reader, the same near-field communications tech moving forward.
"So Mr Incredible from this version of Infinity, in all likelihood, should work on whatever we're doing with Infinity five years from now."
Day added that future next-gen versions of Disney Infinity will likely result in a game that will be "way more beautiful", offer "a whole lot more" content, "or both".
@amaneuvering Who cares what you suggested? LOL not like you work for them. Get ove ryourself.
@eze_sl89 Infinity is already high on the "most anticipated" list at gamestop. That's a lot of no ones
@eze_sl89 Watch this sell buttloads. A lot of kiddies will fall over with excitement to get this from Santa.
@sirdukefillion Possibly..but the model is what makes it repulsive.
That's not changing.
It's my job as a parent to teach my child the value of money.\

Was this taken with a camera? I only ask because everything appears to be soft and I wanted to know if I should blame it on the camera blur. I loev the blending with human and branch, superb job man!

qabas12 - Heh, not so much. I simply took the elements we were given as a requirement for the project and kind of arranged them in my head to fit the one idea or emotion I was trying to convey. I was shooting for "dark".
Rabid Peanut - Yea, I wish I could have gotten a more crisp picture of the drawing. I stood on a chair above the paper to take the picture. I wish I could have posted it at 1024 but it came in over the Mb limit for the attachment manager! Thanks for the kind words too. I had a hell of a time trying to incorporate that tree
