Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup 190.36
Hi all together.
I want to share my experience with the slow 2d part of the nvidia driver in the usability context of KDE 4.3. After almost trying anything to get a better, more snappier GUI experience. There is a acceptable KDE 4.3 setup for my preferences.
(I don't like the visibility of drawing-events when e.g. starting a new konqueror window (maybe in the order of milliseconds or laggy openoffice redraw, ...), so the only solution which eliminates that, was to use compiz. -But several problems like the resize-choppyness remained.)
I've found a good setting to get a even more (preliminary, till there a bugfixes by nvidia) faster 2d-setup for KDE 4.3 with Kwin.
everybody is welcome to try the settings:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 9800 GT"
Option "NvAgp" "0"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "PixmapCacheSize" "9000000"
Option "Coolbits" "4"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "true"
Option "AllowIndirectPixmaps" "true"
Option "AllowSHMPixmaps" "false"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "UseCompositeWrapper" "true"
#Option "UseEvents" "true" #disabled for 190 drivers!
Option "BackingStore" "on"
Option "DamageEvents" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "on"
Option "RENDER" "true"
Option "DAMAGE" "true"
Option "MIT-SHM" "true"
I written a startup script, that is doing the nvidia-setting at login:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1 -a PixmapCacheRoundSizeKB=1024
The essential thing is the setting of the Kwin window manager:
Composite type: XRender (really true, not the opengl setting!)
I've not experienced any more CPU usage, because of not using opengl for the window drawing (I guess that the RenderAccel option gets involved here?). Nevertheless it's the fastest 2d-rendering qualitatively tested and quantitatively verified with qgears2 and gtkperf.
The main point is that windows appears like a flash (completely drawn graphic elements) on the screen. The resize is as fast as on my notebook with an intel on metacity. (not a joke intel is a lame duck on 3d-part but the 2d is much better). Only when keep wildly resizing on for about 10...15 s it goes to down like we used to).
You can also test the more fluid behavior of qt4 elements e.g. when dragging a firstly detached playlist-window of the smplayer (keep playing on a movie) back into the main-window or by the text rendering in lyx and so on.
System keywords:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
RAM: 4 gibi
GPU: 9800 gt, 512 mibi
Software (openSUSE x64)
X-Server: 1.6.4 (10604000)
KDE: Version 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 162"
Driver: 190.36 (x64)
Kernel: Linux-x86_64 126.96.36.199 Kernel (custom baked: low latency Desktop preemption (no rt-patch), Tickrate 1000 Hz, and some other setting for the elephant SUSE; compiled with GCC 4.4)
Keep on working nvidia. We don't need such things like vdpau (unless it's working like a charm for me) but a good 2d composite speed. -Business before pleasure.

Re: Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup 190.36
Isn't it that couple of options that you are suggesting are default for newer drivers?
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1 -a PixmapCacheRoundSizeKB=1024
Although 190.36 driver is working well enough for me, but I had various issues while resizing and some general slowdown when I have lots of apps open. I am trying out with your setting and Xrender and do not see some marked improvement yet (holding out on judgement).
May be, other guys can chime in.

Re: Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup 190.36
You are totally right,
most of the options are out dated in the newer drivers. (But I keep on switching the driver versions often to older ones to keep on examine which settings / driver combinations leads to a better performance on the workspace.)
So the posting should have been the other way round:
I'm wondering why my system responding faster with the Xrender path of Kwin?
The opengl-part of nvidias drivers (at least in 3d) are impressive fast.
But the RenderAccel option seems to provide more speed to 2d rendering, than the millions of transistors available for opengl rendering?
At least, is there any gpu-acceleration in the combination of Xrender path with the RenderAccel option at all?
Quintessence of the posting is to encourage the people to share their experience
- with the options nvidia makes us community for testing available.
- In order to get rid of the KDE sluggishness.
- Additionally providing the nvidia programmers with testing feedback (in our own interest, since we deal with a closed driver, it's the only thing we can provide).
Slow 2d rendering is very annoying at daily work! Snappy like windos in safemode with 50% cpuload.
To support the (hopefully) hard working people at nvidia:
Would it not be a much more effective promotion for your linux market to provide such basic things and not to claim such more dispensable things like fancy video acceleration?
To the geezers in your publicity agency. There are other topics to work on rather than the advertiseable slogans on the website. -More teammates and more free coffee and chocolate to support the linux driver programmers!

Re: Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup 190.36
I'm on gnome, but your settings gave me an improvement, especialy on resizing terminal-windows. I had a huge slowdown (5-7 sec) when resizing gnome-terminal or rox-term. After aplying your settings, this is now much faster. The problem isn't gone completely (still slowdown when having 3-4 terminals open and trying to amximise...), but it is much better. Thx for posting.

I'm not sure whether performance problems exist that only some configurations suffer from. I can only tell you that NVidia's drivers provide excellent 2D acceleration, without "tweaking" anything on my systems.

So that leaves:
Option "PixmapCacheSize" "9000000"
Option "Coolbits" "4"
Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "true"
Option "UseCompositeWrapper" "true"
and the part about changing KDE's compositing from opengl to xrender as possible causes for the change.

Re: Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup 190.36
XRender runs fast, but is fairly useless on LCD since it'll tear on most drawing. Any combination of OpenGL on Kwin with Indirect or vsync disabled should produce distinctly similar results, it certainly does for me.
Coolbits wouldn't affect rendering speed (obviously), on demand vblanks could only slow it down. X11 Composite wrapper and PixmapCacheSize might, but direct synchronized (needed to avoid tearing due to lack general windowed vsync equivalent) vs indirect or unsynchronized rendering is the largest difference for me.
Nvidia probably won't bother much trying to optimize for the 'touch twice' overhead (which affects particularly fast drawing things), since it doesn't affect real world 2D or 3D very significantly, and improvements to kwin and compiz are likely to produce less overhead for most common operations and cases over time, as they have in the past.
Also, slow Qt4/KDE performance can be affected due to Qt's GUI component not being compiled to use 'raster' mode by default, which significantly improves performance over X11.
Try launching the slow Qt4/KDE4 apps (but not kwin) with --graphicssystem raster command line option (requires Qt 4.5 or better) and see if that helps. It should.

Re: Suggestion KDE 4.3 rendering speedup
Oops, OK I guess there are no special options left.
Only the behavior of the XRender setting of Kwin is better (at least on my system).
I tested the settings with the combinations of direct/indirect rendering with vsync on and off (kwin opengl):
In comparison to Xrender all of these are definite slower on window drawing @ resizing and the "initial appearing" on the screen when opening a application.
To remind (you have to watch carefully an no fading or such things): There are visible
drawing events in the sense that not all elements appear at the same time.
If it would be a only Qt related problem, then:
1) why not with compiz (except in this case the resize is also laggy)?
2) why also on gtk apps with metacity or gtk apps with kwin?
3) why there are not such problems on an almost identically configured system with an
i915 in combination with a much slower CPU?
(Despite there are other problems for i915 there, due to the outdated chip. But resize is faster, also all elements of a window appear like a flash.)
So I guess it would not be fair to claim it only a Qt-Problem!!?!
(Despite gnome on cairo is definitely snappier on drawing than kde 4.3 on Qt. And Qt should care about the much more advanced fontrendering on cairo ...but that's a other topic...
I will keep on hoping for 2d bugfixing by nvidia anyway. First the basics than the more hype things!

Looks interesting. It isn't the kind of game I'd play alone but if it has co-op I'll get it to play with my daughter.
Strange, yet cool. And ya, reminds me of Trine too.
this game reminded me of trine
I suggest we have more forums concerning how we can improve gaming industry such as: pre-ordering things to see how people feel about it; Voting for the best game on each genre; what is the best thing about gaming for you; or what make you like playing video games.
How is this not also going to be a Vita game? Seriously. This looks perfect for the platform.
ha looks awesome
Looks really cool even if a bit to much like LBP... I am glad to see a steady increase of 2D platformers emerging ...
This game deserves more attention
Except graphic, I don't see much that this game could enhance gamers' experience. I'd like to play game that bring new feel, new thrill while playing it. How about some dynamic camera view, some kind of motion that sucks gamers into being part of it. Creative, full of life kind of dream world incorporated with some charming music should do. Take Klonoa series as example.
Is this from Media Molecule? Look like a ton of fu
Arrrrrgh damn you autoplay
i wish it would come to the vita.
Looking forward to this game.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9: Guest Star Jennifer Bassey Talks "Out of Control" Character — Exclusive
Former All My Children star and all-around TV legend Jennifer Bassey is coming to Grey's Anatomy! She has a three-episode arc that begins with tonight's Season 9, Episode 21: "Sleeping Monster," and from the sound of things, she'll play an important role on the upcoming drama.
Wetpaint Entertainment had a chance to speak with Jennifer, who opened up about how she got the role, what her character's like, and why working on Grey's was such a great experience. While she wouldn't actually reveal who she's play beyond a "grandma," we have a feeling she's going to be connected to the Ethan-Owen (Kevin McKidd) story. Read on to see if you agree.
Wetpaint Entertainment: How did the Grey's Anatomy arc come about?
Jennifer Bassey: I did a short film two years ago, which has just been accepted into the Milan Film Festival, about a woman dying of cancer, and I told my manager, "I'm going in with no makeup." He says, "You really are?" And I said, "Yeah, I'm going with no makeup, no eyebrows, no nothing, no makeup." I said, "This woman wouldn't wear makeup." Anyway, so I did that. We got a still photo out of that shoot because all my other pictures are of rich, upscale women. And so he submitted my brain cancer photo from the movie with no makeup to Grey's Anatomy, and they called me in. And I wore no makeup for the audition, absolutely no makeup, just a tiny bit of base but that's it. And when I got the job I arrived on the set, and there was a woman who used to do makeup on All My Children for the last few shows that I did. And I said, "Oh my God, Terry, how are you?" She said, "I'm great. I'm going to get to make you up." I said, "No, no, no. I don't think they want me in makeup." And so she called and they said they wanted nothing. "Don't put anything on her, nothing." So I have my gray hair kind of flattened down, and I wear no makeup. I look very, very dowdy. Midwest grandma.
How would you describe your character?
She's a grandma. I can tell you that, very earthy grandma. I can't tell you much about her character because that will affect what you're going to see also. So I can just tell you she's caring. She's loving. She loves her family passionately. She's a very simple woman from the Midwest. She's a Midwest grandma.
Are you a patient?
Oh no, no. My family has been in a car crash, my grandson, my son, and my daughter-in-law. And my son, when I arrive at the hospital is in a coma and my daughter-in-law is awake and OK. My emotions are totally out of control. I'm very upset that my little grandson has been present for all the medical talks about the discussions about what's wrong with both his mother and his dad. And it's making me very anxious, and so I'm not controlling my emotions very well when I finally see my son in a coma. And I have a lot of scenes with Kevin McKidd who plays Owen, and he really should be packaged and sold on a mass scale. He's adorable.
And this is a longer arc, right?
It's three episodes.
Can you say why this arc warrants three episodes?
No, I can't. I can't tell you. That will all be unfolding.
How was the experience?
Oh, darling. It's like I died and went to heaven. It starts at the top. I mean, it was like they took nice pills because I've never been treated so well in my entire life, top to bottom. You know, star trailer, I worked with almost every star except the leading lady who plays Meredith [Ellen Pompeo]. But I've worked with everybody else, and I couldn't have had a better time. Except the early calls were horrible. Getting up at the crack of dawn. The sparrows aren't even up at that hour.
Did it feel slow because you're used to the pace of a soap?
Oh, no, they're very fast. And my manager kept saying, "I don't believe it. I mean, you're home already?" I said, "When they call you in, usually you work immediately." When you arrive, I did not wait. I did nine days. I worked nine days on the three weeks, and I never had to wait. I arrived. I went in. And they kind of combed my hair, and they said, "OK, we're ready to rehearse." And then after rehearsal you got dressed in your clothes and "We're ready to shoot" and then shot and that was it. Not long days at all, very short, very short.
They know what they're doing.
They have it really down. They have great camera people. They have a steadicam guy that's adorable who I talked with. They're all extremely professional. They have a huge, huge lot. It's got hospitals and houses and restaurants and bars, this huge amount of sets. But the hospital itself, the set, is quite large. I'd get lost all the time. They have to have someone say, "Turn left, Jennifer, otherwise you're going to be on the other set." And they're doing two shows at once simultaneously often. So you could go into the wrong set.
There's a lot going on. It's a really busy show. Somebody said, "Why do you think it's so successful?" They've got a great team of writers. Then the writer of the episode is on the set all day long. And if you have a problem, like one day this wonderful writer came up to me and said, "That line is impossible to say, isn't it?" I said, "It's pretty difficult." But I said, "But, I'll make it work." He said, "You don't have to make it work. I've written a new line. I'm going to come to your trailer and give you some new dialogue." Of course then I had to learn that, put that into my mental sphere. But it was such a gift to have the writers right there. You could go over to the writer and say, "What does this mean? I don't understand. Oh, I see." And I know that without a writer you cannot have a hit show. You can't. So I think they have put together a brilliant team of writers. They've got wonderful actors, and they're giving them great story lines. What fun.

Four 'Jokers' a winning hand
None harmed in the making of their stunts
Over more than two decades of performing for audiences in classrooms, clubs or on national television, the cast of TruTV's "Impractical Jokers" has focused on pulling laughs from the same four people, says Brian "Q" Quinn.
From the start, when they came together as class clowns in the same Staten Island high school, he, Joseph "Joe" Gatto, James "Murr" Murray and Salvatore "Sal" Vulcano have worked at getting one another to bust out laughing.
They'll count on that same strategy to reach the rest of the audience Saturday, when they perform at The Victory.
"That's really, honestly, the whole thing," Quinn said in a telephone call from his home on Staten Island. "I just try to make my friends laugh, and hopefully that translates (to the audience). So far it has."
It started when they were freshmen and continued after graduation in 1994, when they came together as The Tenderloins, an improv comedy act based on the jokes they played on each other in high school.
The group's big break came with winning the $100,000 grand prize on NBC's "It's Your Show" contest. Along with the cash, the victory won them an agent and launched their television career.
"Impractical Jokers," which went on the air in 2011, came from an informal, eleventh-hour improv brainstorming session over pizza and video games in Gatto's apartment, Quinn said. "We actually had the pitch meeting (with TRUTV executives) set up before we had the idea for the show, so we were, like, 'We'd better get on this quick,' and that's what we came up with."
"Impractical Jokers" draws on the hidden camera technique of "Candid Camera" and "Punked," but with another permutation. Once they come up with the setup, none of the four Tenderloins knows what the other three, collaborating on instructions delivered through a hidden earphone, will challenge him to hatch on their unsuspecting subjects.
Whether pretending to fall asleep on the shoulder or lap of a stranger on a park bench or posing as the beach patrol, politely collapsing bathers' umbrellas, each member of the troupe takes his turn doing his partners' bidding in an unpredictable series of escalating dares.
The dares are never mean, demeaning or anything that might hurt or anger unwitting participants, he said. The unsuspecting are always confused by the situations, but nearly always want to be part of the show when all is revealed. Exceptions have included subjects who were supposed to be at work when they were videotaped and at least one couple who didn't want their respective spouses to see them together on a television show.
"Everything we do, we try to remain friendly, and make it more embarrassing on us. The key to it is our relationship. The four of us know each other really well and we know how to mess with each other."
For Quinn, "they're really good at bringing my parents in and having them mess with me. And they know that I have a hard time being uncouth in front of women and old ladies."
As "Impractical Jokers" begins its third season, the group continues to develop ideas "for this show and for 10 other shows," Quinn said.
The 37-year-old looks to a long career with The Tenderloins, he said. "I've been friends with these guys 22 years. There've been entire months when I've wanted to kill them, but it's kind of like a marriage," he said. "You get through the rough time and everything's OK."
That said, "there have never been any times that weren't overwhelmingly fun," Quinn said. That good, because, "I think I'm stuck with these guys for life."
Saturday's performance will include video, live improv among the four and an audience question-and-answer session, but as always, the main focus will be playing with his friends, he said. "If I'm not there having fun with my friends, the audience isn't going to have any fun."
What: The Cast of "Impractical Jokers Live!"

EDITORIAL: The world has changed, but has China?
The 25th anniversary of the infamous events in Beijing's Tiananmen Square is upon us, and watching China's reaction to the occasion tells us that, in some ways, things haven't changed in the Middle Kingdom.
Many of us remember the military assault on protesters in China's capital city the first week of June 1989. The events, some of which were televised, temporarily put China in the awkward position of diplomatic isolation and crippled, for a time, its economic position in the world. And while the rest of the world learned (or had reinforced) visually — who can forget the image of the lone protester confronting a column of tanks, making it come to a stop, before he was pulled away — how bad things could be in China, Chinese officials learned something as well: citizens in the Communist nation should forget Tiananmen Square ever happened, not remember it, nor mark its anniversary. A repeat of the events of 1989 must never occur.
It helps us to remember how they came about. It all began following peaceful student protests and marches in the wake of the death of a Communist Party chief. The students were demanding more democracy and more personal freedoms, but eventually, as the number of participants grew, the message became more pointed: they began asking for Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping's removal.
Some 100,000 protesters eventually occupied Tiananmen Square in Beijing. When Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev made a scheduled visit to Beijing a few weeks later, the world's press descended. China tried to hide the protesting students from the media, but it didn't work — and as marches and protests continued, involving some one million people, martial law was declared. Two weeks later, armed troops began beating protesters after failing to disburse them. No one knows for sure how many died, but there were at least a few hundred, and maybe more than 1,000.
This was in the days before Twitter and social media, so it's hard to imagine how Tiananmen Square would play out today. But in censorship-heavy China, the government still is using what the Wall Street Journal calls "a well-honed, layered strategy to nip opposition in the bud" by tracking the activities, postings and movements of citizens known to be talking about the anniversary and the government.
One researcher with Human Rights Watch says, "These are strategies that have been used over and over again. Tiananmen also started small. The government has to be on the lookout for sparks … They've been working on this for 25 years."
Some in China don't even know about Tiananmen Square because the government has been so successful in suppressing news about it. The Community Party there is trying to leave very little to chance. Stories surrounding the anniversary in other media quote some Chinese as saying they don't even believe that the heroic protests ever happened. With the government's tight controls on Internet access (many websites are mostly blocked, including Google and major news sites), and oversight of social media (China's own forms of Twitter and Facebook are tightly controlled and monitored), that's not surprising.
The world has changed greatly since 1989. Things in the Middle Kingdom haven't, and in some ways — corruption, arrests, crackdowns — things have gotten worse. It's a lesson worth noting.

Meeting Type: Lectures / Meeting Year: 2013
Spring, 2013 Lecture — Busko-Zdrój, Poland
Friday, April 26, 2013 – 11:00AM
Liceum Tadeusza Kosciuszki, Busko-Zdrój, Poland
"We Called Rohatyn Home: Jewish Families, Heritage, & the Holocaust"
Marla Raucher Osborn
From 1932-1936, Bronia HORN of Rohatyn taught German language and literature in Busko-Zdrój. This was the last place she would call home in Galicia before emigrating to Palestine. By leaving she would be one of three members of her family to survive the Holocaust. Those in her family that remained–over 75–would not.
Ms. Osborn will trace Bronia's pre-War life in Galicia (Rohatyn, Lwow, Kraków, and Busko), and by doing so, will introduce to the students of today's Liceum Tadeusza Kosciuszki, Busko-Zdrój the world of pre-War Galician Rohatyn and the Jewish families that once also called Rohatyn "home".
Marla Raucher Osborn CV:
Marla Raucher Osborn was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She graduated from UCLA and Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, then practiced law in San Francisco from 1988-2000. For most of the last decade she has lived abroad with her husband in England, Paris, Milan, Buenos Aires, Lviv, Kraków, and returned to Paris in June 2012.
During the last several years Marla has worked with a wide variety of organizations and archives in the US and across Europe. She made her first trip to her grandmother's Galician town of Rohatyn (today in western Ukraine) in 2008, returning almost a dozen times in 2011 while living in nearby Lviv. During those visits she and her husband viewed and photographed various sites of the town's former Jewish past, met with local officials and townspeople, gave an interview with Ukrainian local TV, and accompanied friends and fellow researchers. She has also written articles on her Rohatyn research and YAHAD experiences for the Gesher Galicia SIG digest and The Galitzianer as well as JewishGen's Success Stories.
Marla was an early member of and remains an active contributor to an online Rohatyn research group founded by Dr. Alex Feller, which strives to gather and distribute records and information about the lost Jewish community there, for survivors and descendants; this group has over 150 members worldwide today.

A barometer for economic activity, the transportation sector serves a vital purpose to the economy. While shipping volumes have significantly increased on a year-over-year basis, when compared to 2007 and 2008 levels, there is still significant ground to make up. For example, in the latest American Railroad Association Railroad Traffic Report, American carload volume increased by 4.1% while increasing in Canada by 19%. However, when compared to 2008 levels, carload transportation was 5.1% and 7.5% below historic levels. Additionally, on a sequential basis, shipments have decreased, adding another negative economic indicator to the list of recent announcements.
IN PICTURES: 5 Tips To Reading The Balance Sheet
Long-Term Investment
Although transportation stocks have lost some value in recent trading, it is a solid long term investment. According to Citigroup (NYSE:C) analyst Math Troy "The reason Warren Buffett [bought] Burlington Northern Santa Fe is a 10- to 20-year trend. For us near-term investors, it may seem curious. For him, the trajectory of the recovery over the next one or two years is irrelevant." With strong revenue and earnings momentum, in addition to providing a more efficient service than alternative transportation means, the railroads are capturing a greater market share of the transportation space. (Forget the latest craze - you're more likely to succeed with a buy-and-hold strategy. For additional reading, see Long-Term Investing: Hot Or Not?)
Top Performers
Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) is up 45% in the last year, outperforming the iShares Dow Jones Transport Average (NYSE:IYT), an ETF that has exposure to 21 diverse companies in the transportation industry, by nearly 35%. With significant sequential growth in both U.S and Mexican operations, KSU operates with gross and net profit margins that are superior to other players in the industry.
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) are also among the top performers within this industry, outperforming the IYT ETF by a wide margin. Analysts expect UNP to perform well moving forward, with a mean target price of $90.13 according to a 23 person poll conducted by Thomson/First Call. Stifel Nicolaus recently upgraded the stock from "hold" to "buy" and FBR Capital initiated coverage with an outperform rating. Norfolk Southern also has strong approval from the investment community with a mean target price of $68.14.
Investment Risks
Similar to other major railroads, KSU has significant compensation and fuel costs that make up 28% and 21%, respectively, of total expenses. Likewise, Canadian Pacific Railway (NYSE:CP) faces $354 million and $182 million in compensation and fuel expenses which amount to 37% and 19% of total expenses. These two factors pose some of the greatest risks to the industry. While swaps and other option contracts are used to hedge crude oil and diesel prices, unionized workers demand high wages, which put a strain on railroad profit margins.
Bottom Line
Freight volumes indirectly indicate the level of operational activities of railroad customers; when companies in the food and beverage space, for example, are experiencing increased product demand, they will ship more goods to their facilities. Last month, of the 18 industries tracked by AAR, only 10 showed growth, the lowest number in 2010. As a result, Kansas City Southern, Union Pacific Corporation, Norfolk Southern and Canadian Pacific have all dropped in price within the past month as external industry activity fell below expectations. As a matter of fact, every major American and Canadian railroad corporation experienced a pullback in stock prices within the last month. Luckily, railroads are a long-term investment.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2013 If the U.S. government has to shut down Oct. 1, about half of the Defense Department's civilian workforce will be furloughed until an appropriations bill or continuing resolution is passed, DOD Comptroller Robert F. Hale said today.
If appropriations lapse the department can, by law, only conduct limited activity specifically authorized by law, Hale said during a Pentagon press conference.
A lapse, he said, will lead to an emergency furlough that could idle 400,000 members of the department's 800,000-person workforce.
Military personnel will continue to work as normal. Contractor personnel will also continue in their regular jobs. But some civil service employees will be hit with another furlough.
The shutdown furloughs are different than the ones instituted earlier this year, Hale said.
"The sequester furloughs sought to reduce costs, and we had the authority to design them to reduce costs and to reflect policies like minimizing effects on readiness," he said.
In the situation now facing the government -- that Congress may not pass an additional spending measure-- law governs. "Specifically, the law says that in the event of a lapse of appropriations, DOD can only conduct activities designed to protect safety of life and property and carry out a few other activities," Hale said.
If appropriations lapse, DOD can support specific military operations like Afghanistan.
"We can also maintain emergency services, police, fire, emergency medical," Hale said. "We label the activities that can continue as excepted activities."
Civilian workers who support these excepted activities would be directed to continue to work.
"But all other civilian workers who do not primarily support accepted activities would be placed in a non-duty, non-pay status on an emergency no-notice basis at the time the lapse occurs," Hale said.
Pay of government employees could also be seriously affected.
"Military and other civilians directed to work would be paid retroactively once the lapse of appropriation ends," Hale said. "Civilians on emergency furloughs … would be paid retroactively only if a law is enacted providing the authority to pay them."
Unless connected with excepted activities, training and travel would have to be stopped, he said.
"We would also be required to do some other bad things to our people," Hale said. "Just some examples, we couldn't immediately pay death gratuities to those who die on active duty during the lapse, we would have to close stateside commissaries, promotion boards and other similar personnel activities would be disrupted -- probably would have to be stopped -- and a number of other actions."
Companies doing business with the department would also be affected, especially if the lapse continues for a substantial period of time.
"Vendors working on contracts with funds obligated prior to the lapse … could continue to work," Hale said. "But during the period of the lapse, we can't sign new contracts or extend old ones unless they're directly in support of accepted activities."
Finally, Hale called the possibility of a lapse and civilian furlough "one more blow" to the already low morale of the workforce.
"That adversely affects productivity and costs the taxpayers money," he said.

The Fixed Dome IP Network Camera is a full-featured 3-axis dome network camera designed for indoor surveillance. It comes with a wide-angle, vari-focal lens, allowing you to have a wide open view for maximum coverage. With the sophisticated 3-axis mechanical and industrial design, it offers a very flexible, easy hardware installation for either ceiling or wall mount.
To prevent false alarms, it is also equipped with a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, which can detect motion causing temperature changes in the infrared range emitted by surrounding objects. When the environment is short of sufficient light source, the built-in white-light illuminators will be activated automatically or manually so as to supplement the low light situation without additional equipment. Embedded with VIVOTEK VVTK-1000 SoC, it simultaneously delivers dual streams with different resolutions up to 30 fps in VGA resolution and video qualities upon different multimedia devices for real-time viewing. Additionally, by offering more advanced features such as 3GPP mobile surveillance, built-in 802.3af compliant PoE, two-way audio, and so on, this camera allows users to build up a powerful, cost-effective IP surveillance system for various indoor applications with ease.

Re: Need Help with Home Theater Audio. I know NOTHING about audio!!!!
No, I meant using the car speakers I have to build a system for my home running off of a good receiver like the Onkyo. I have a pair of Infinity 6x9s and a 300W Infinity 12" Sub laying around and no use for them. I'd like to hook them up to a receiver but the speakers are 4 OHM (most receivers are built for 8 OHM speakers as far as I know) and its nearly impossible to find a home (AC powered) amplifier to run a sub like this for a reasonable price.

i build the game to follow the rules,
a line a black rectangle,
with white dots figuares,
who design such a figuare?
games of rules,
i just know i want to plan to win,
line all up straight like to view a zig zag moon,
but the moment it ends, another game begins,
but who do we call king?
with money on line every thing is a game to a king,
place the stacks high how this type of figuare sit flat to sight,
it can't be that
in the rules in life your in it to win it,
or the game will win you,
and i dont even know the rules to dominos.
i just watch from far,
as it all falls down!!!
one over laping the other,i this perhaps the order?
domino effects are you with it?

Building our Future Beyond Foreclosure continues with a discussion of what proposed policy, programmatic and regulatory reforms now under consideration in Washington might mean for affordable housing providers, low and moderate income households seeking access to good credit products, and others seeking to keep neighborhoods thriving. Panelists will explore how Community Development Finance Institutions, the Community Reinvestment Act, Individual Development Accounts, and other programmatic and regulatory reforms currently under discussion can be used to channel opportunity into the best possible outcomes for households and neighborhoods.

The foreclosure crisis in Cuyahoga County did not happen overnight. Similarly, the strategies for moving our communities and residents Beyond Foreclosure will take time to evolve. Over the coming year, the Levin College Forum will focus on strategies, tactics and projects that are new, creative, environmentally sustainable and invigorating to the marketplace. Challenging times are not new to Cleveland, and on this issue, where no roadmap exists, we have an opportunity to create a new path to our future.
What do we want the 2020 census say about our region, our cities, our residents and our neighborhoods? What are the tactics and strategies we can employ now to make this happen?
Join us as we work together, Building our Future Beyond Foreclosure. Be part of the conversation, connect with policy makers and rebuild Northeast Ohios cities.

We here at BWE are about to get educational on your ass. I just wanted to warn you up front.
While you're stuffing your face with turkey and cranberry sauce and gravy and ham and whatever else you stuff your face with, you should be very thankful. Why? Because if it wasn't for some politically incorrect farmer a few hundred years ago, we would all be celebrating with a Thanksgiving FAST and not a FEAST. Chew on that.
If you want to learn more, pick up The Compleated Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin. And impress your friends.
Okay, we're done being smart and responsible now. Bring on Lindsay Lohan!

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully August 8, 2006 at 5:02AM
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Israel was experiencing the ass-rocking musical assault that is the Tel Aviv-based Monotonix. They blew everyone away so much that the Silver Jews booked them to open their upcoming shows on the west coast in September.
While they sound good on record, it's their live show that makes them so amazing. They set up off-stage, on the floor, where Ran (stand-up drummer), Yonatan (who makes Jack White sound like a simplistic wussy), and Ami (think if Robert Plant went punk rock), absolutely DESTROY SHIT.
It's like Deep Purple meets Deerhoof or something. Whatever it is, it must be seen to be believed. They play The Trash Bar in Williamsburg at 8pm TONIGHT (Tuesday, the 8th). I'll see ya there...

It covers soldering and unsoldering the most basic component, a jumper wire.
Never soldered before? Start with Soldering 101: Tin the Tip.
If you appreciate this instructible, please visit my blog for more ideas:
You will need:
All the items used in Soldering 101
flux paste
insulated jumper wire
pc prototyping board, veroboard (stripboard), or padboard.
wire strippers
dikes (diagonal cutters) or flush cutters.
solder sucker (desoldering pump)
**The links above are simply the place I found these items. Any suggestions for other US links would be appreciated**
Step 1: Strip the wire
Step 2: Tin the wire
Dip the end of the wire in flux.
Then stick the wire in something to hold it still. I used a pair of pliers.
Tin the tip of the soldering iron.
Imediately after tinning, hold your iron and solder on opposite sides of the wire. It is important that you hold everything very steady until the solder begins to flow. As soon as solder flows, quickly move the solder and iron out to the end of the wire. This should quickly coat all the metal with a thin layer of solder.
In a perfect world, Terry (my soldering overseer) says the iron should touch the wire a fraction of a second before the solder does. And of course, remove the solder a fraction of a second before removing the iron.
Move too slow and you get melted insulation, which doesn't actually hurt anything, but wouldn't pass a NASA inspection apparently. You could also get large globs of solder on the wire.

As we all know, the Internet began as military research, spread to the academic world, and eventually reached hundreds of millions of users on its way to transcending technology and becoming an art form with its apotheosis, the animated gif. But what if one was to curate a series of animated gifs—not spacially, as with a gif wall, but temporally? Los Angeles-based house musician Magic Machines has answered this pressing question with the music video for "Hey Mister," which features nearly four minutes of animated gifs, end to end, synchronized to the beat of his pounding, Deadmau5-y house single. We take exception to the claim that these are "the best GIFs ever" but that's not going to stop this from totally blowing up the Coding Soundtrack room on turntable.fm.

Duke Student Government will hold Durham park cleanup Saturday
Duke Student Government approved funding for a park cleanup aimed at involving students more in Durham.
Sophomore David Robertson, senator for Durham and regional affairs, took the floor Wednesday on behalf of the DRA to request funding for the event in conjunction with the Trinity Park Neighborhood Association. During Saturday's event, students and local residents will remove trash and invasive weeds from Ellerbee Creek trail near East Campus. The committee for Durham and regional affairs is looking for ways to encourage students living off campus to participate more in neighborhood life.
"The goal of Saturday's event is to create a forum for open dialogue so students and the people living around them have an opportunity to learn about each other and about the neighborhoods they live in," senator Rosie Williams, a freshman, added.
In organizing the event, Robertson met with Adam Haile, president of the Trinity Park Neighborhood Association, to discuss the community's needs. Robertson said he hopes that the attendees are evenly split between Duke students and community members.
"We wanted to work with the community to address their needs rather than have Duke students come into the situation and do what we thought needed to be done," Robertson sad.
Like Knock and Talks—a Duke program in which police officers visit student homes to remind them of the responsibilities of living off campus—the goal of the event is to foster a sense of comfort between Durham residents and Duke students, Williams noted. Because many student groups and independent students enjoy the option of living off campus, Williams said she believes forming positive relationships within the neighborhoods is crucial.
"We found it important that they do something community service-based because it shows that we are all working towards a common goal," Williams said.
The committee has reached out to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Office of Student Conduct and Duke Partnership for Service to promote the event.
"We are trying to create a more collaborate atmosphere between the off-campus students and the neighborhoods in which they live," Robertson said.
Starting 10 a.m. Saturday, students will gather at the clean-up site at 800 Green Street. Although the event is geared towards off-campus students any interested student is encouraged to come, Robertson added.
Sophomore Derek Rhodes, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, could not be reached for comment.
In other business:
Executive Vice President Patrick Oathout, a junior, proposed an amendment to the Spring 2013 election rules and procedures based on vote deductions in this Fall's election of freshman senators. Noting that freshmen candidates who were docked votes because they created a website 10 minutes before the official start of the campaign period or because their flyer partially covered that of another candidate, Oathout proposed that the Senate soften the rules and let the Board of Elections determine violations. He argued that a large set of prohibitive rules would discourage students from running and that the intent of the candidates was more important than rules students can find loop holes around.
Junior Daniel Strunk, chief justice of the Judiciary, took the floor during public forum to propose that DSG play in active role in increasing holiday decorations in common areas around campus. Strunk, a Chronicle columnist, argued that the decorations would foster social cohesion, increase performance on final exams and promote holiday spirit.
Freshman representatives Will Gallagher and Victoria Diggs have agreed to look into the possibilities.

Councillor faces standards committee after trying to settle attack case out of court
Posted: November 24, 2012|
A CITY councillor phoned a friend of a serious assault victim to try to persuade him to settle the case out of court, a standards panel will hear.
Amjid Wazir is accused of failing to declare an interest before voting to reinstate the taxi licence of a man who was convicted less than six months earlier of an assault which broke another driver's draw.
He faces the standards committee on Monday, when members will decide if he breached the authority's code of conduct.
The Labour councillor denies claims he is a close family friend of the convicted driver, Azan Ahmed, but admits contacting an associate of victim Mohammed Bashir in an attempt to broker an out-of-court resolution before the conviction.
Mr Bashir claims Mr Wazir is good friends with Azan Ahmed's father Zulfacar Ahmed. The Hanley Park and Shelton councillor denies the claim.
But asked if he made the call before the court case, he said in a report to Monday's meeting: "Yes. I phoned Karmit Ali as a respected elder member of the community to see if he could sort out the issues between Mr Bashir and Mr Ahmed to try and calm things down."
The allegations relate to a licensing hearing in April 2011, when Azan Ahmed won back his taxi licence at the third attempt.
In September 2010, Zulfacar Ahmed's sons Azan and Kasam, and his brother-in-law Jameel Bashir, admitted causing actual bodily harm after attacking taxi driver Mohammed Bashir at Stoke station.
They were sentenced to a 12-month supervision order by Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, ordered to carry out unpaid work and pay £2,000 compensation. Mr Wazir voted against a motion to refuse Azan Ahmed his licence at the second hearing.
The panel unanimously voted to reinstate the licence at the third hearing, despite the chairman's opposition, after legal advice.
Majid Khan, Labour councillor for Etruria and Hanley, was cleared this month of failing to declare a prejudicial interest before voting on the same decision.
Councillor Joy Garner, the panel's chairman, said: "Councillor Wazir said very little during the panel but I felt that he knew more about the applicant than he said.
"At the election count, Councillor Wazir, Mr Ahmed's father and other family members were seen by the clerk to the panel and other officers together for a long time and were clearly more than passing acquaintances."
Glyn Cross, the council's principal licensing officer, said: "I was surprised by the decision of the panel as I did not feel that Azan had spent sufficient time away from the rank.
"There have been others in similar situations where the panel have said they are not a fit and proper person. Under the old guidelines, Azan would have had to have been conviction-free for three to five years.
"Although these guidelines no longer apply, I did feel that six months was far too soon."
Clare Clarke, deputy monitoring officer, investigated the case and will recommend that Mr Wazir did not have an interest to declare – in part because friendship boundaries are blurred by large turnouts at gatherings in the Asian community.
She said: "I'm afraid whatever my findings, Mr Bashir will not find the justice he seeks."
Mr Bashir said: "For me this will not stop because I want to see justice done. I believe there has been an abuse of power."
Last year Mr Wazir was suspended without pay for a month after attempting to use his position to get a friend's daughter into an over-subscribed school.

Examiner: What beauty products do you use on a daily basis?
L: I use Frederic Fakkai shampoo. I just like the way it smells and the way it makes my hair look. If I'm not working, I usually just let it air dry. I don't really use a lot of hair products. If I do, I use John Frieda Curl Enhancing Spray. Face-wise, I have super sensitive skin, so I've tried, like, everything, and a lot of stuff just makes my skin breakout. But I've found that Neutrogena works great with my skin. I use their face wash and lotion. Makeup-wise, I'm all over the place. I like everything. I'm a sucker for buying everything just because it has a pretty package. (laughs) I really like Dior eyeshadows, Mac, Hard Candy, Stila, everything.
E: Being on TV, you work with a lot of makeup artists. Have you picked up anything from them that you use?
L: Yeah. I definitely look at what they're doing. One thing I've definitely learned is how to apply concealer the right way and make it look natural. Also, I learned how to put on fake individual eyelashes. I couldn't do it before the makeup artists on Pretty Little Liars taught me. There's a trick to doing it in order to get them aligned right without poking your eye out. (laughs)
E: What is your fitness regimen?
L: When you're filming, it's kind of crazy since you don't know the hours, but I've recently started working with a trainer that I really love. I work with her a few times a week. I also love Pilates and running. I try to work out as often as I can, depending on my schedule. I got a Maltipoo dog for Christmas, so I'm always at the canyons hiking.
E:ho is your personal beauty icon?
L: I love Kate Winslet. I think she's just so classy. I feel like she's gotten more and more beautiful as she's gotten older, which hopefully that will happen for me. (laughs) I just think she always looks so put together and natural.
E: What drew you to your character on Pretty Little Liars?
L: When I got involved with the show, I wasn't sure which character I was going to play yet because I went out for Aria and Hanna. I ended up being more drawn to Aria because she's sort of the different one of the group. She just does her own thing and has different interests. She's an old soul, and knows what she wants. She's very mature for her age, and I like to say that she makes good decisions aside from some of the stuff that happens in the pilot and in the show. She just seems put together and she's very fun to play.
E: Do you have similarities with Aria, that make it easier to connect with her as a character?
L: A lot of stuff in the show. I can't draw from anything in my personal life because It deals with some pretty heavy stuff. Just growing up and even now, I feel like I have different interests than a lot of people. I like to think that I do my own thing and make good decisions. I've been told since I can remember, that I'm mature for my age, so I guess that's how I relate.
E: Do you have any other projects in the works?
L: Right now it's pretty much Pretty Little Liars 24/7. (laughs) Maybe when we have a break, I'd love to do films.
E: Any dream roles?
L: I wanna do everything. An example of a career that I really, really love is Reese Witherspoon's. I feel like she has done it all. She started out really young and she does romantic comedies, and then she can do dramas. I'd like to do a little bit of everything.
E: Would you like to send a personal message to your fans and fans anticipating the shows premiere?
L: I just want to say thank you to everyone who has followed me from a couple years back and being so supportive. I really hope the fans of the books really enjoy the show because we're working very hard and we're sticking close to what made the books popular. It's a really fun show, and it premieres June 8 at 8PM on ABC Family!
