B-Sides: This show you're playing is at the Fox Theatre, a place you're familiar with. Have any favorite memories of St. Louis offhand?
Bob Weir: You know, a million of them, actually. Too many to go into. Playing there with Johnnie Johnson and his friends had to be right up there.
When did that happen?
Three times, actually. Well, you know, Johnnie was in the band for awhile and then we got another piano player, 'cause he lived in St. Louis and it was too far for him to commute. Actually, the guy we've got was sort of hand-picked by Johnnie. But then whenever we'd come through St. Louis, he'd come and sit in with us. And a time or two he brought some friends. And it was sublime.
What do you like about touring with String Cheese Incident?
It just seemed a good fit. All I can tell you is, we sort of complement each other. We don't do what they do, and they don't do what we do.
Any plans to jam together?
I would expect. We didn't do that yesterday, because frankly we were too beat after the show. We had the opening slot yesterday, tonight we close, tomorrow we open again.
Do you have anything special or different planned for this tour?
We've got new material we're going to be trotting out. A lot of it's not yet learned by the band, but we've got a soundcheck to do that.
What's the makeup of your audiences?
You know, they go from about sixteen to sixty. It's a little like a country audience, only a little more colorful. There are a lot of folks out there of different ages, different demographics you'd call it. It's an interesting audience you get.
Why do you think you guys attract that diversity?
It's a certain kind of people. They're sort of kindred spirits. They're born that way; they require a little adventure in life. And they require a little adventure in their music. And we can provide that for them, and we're the same kind of folks. [Laughs] We speak the same language. Annie Zaleski
7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 8. Fox Theatre, 527 North Grand Boulevard. $31 to $41. 314-534-1678.
As the Crow Flies
A week before launching his band's double-bill tour with Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows guitarist David Immerglück took enough time out from his Master Cleanse all-lemonade diet to talk strings, speculation and jetstreams with B-Sides.
B-Sides: How did you transition from guitar to mandolin, and how do you handle the effects of feeling like a giant when you're playing it?
David Immerglück: [Laughs] That's great. I never really thought about the size thing or how ridiculous it is until other people point it out. And I can't quite pinpoint when I started playing mandolin. It was on tour with Camper Van Beethoven in the late '80s, and I had sort of nicked one from a friend of mine and brought it on the road for amusement. I don't know why, but we'd do these acoustic sets in the middle of the Camper Van Beethoven set, and for a laugh I started using it and ended up falling in love with it. I play the pedal steel and bass as well, and they're all in different tunings and after awhile you stop thinking instrument-centric and just start thinking about music. So I never really remember, "Oh, I'm playing mandolin now," or "Oh, I'm playing pedal steel now." I just think that I'm playing music. It's a weird thing. It's hard to describe. It seems the more instruments you play, the less you think about the instruments themselves.
What's the set list going to look like for this tour?
Our set list changes from night to night. A lot of people have been asking me that question, and we'll just be grabbing from our songbook every night.
I know there's some grumbling that the band released New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall just so there's something to sell on the tour. Any response?
I love these people who grumble; it's hilarious. Maybe they should take over our career or something. Someone was telling me about someone who was on a Dylan session, I can't remember who it was. Dylan was cutting a vocal and the guy was very enthusiastic, and Dylan came into the control room and he started going, "Oh, I think it's great, but if you do this, if you change the melody on this one line....." There's silence in the room; everyone's like, "You don't ever say anything like that to Bob Dylan when he's in the recording studio." And Dylan looks at the guy and he goes, "Yeah, maybe if I listened to you, I'd have a career." So that's a mean, mean response to the grumblers. But you got me early in the morning before my caffeine, so.....

To say that The Weeknd, the shadowy and affected R&B project of Toronto's Abel Tesfaye, has "buzz" would be to significantly undercut his last two years. Bolstered by a major cosign from Drake, who posted about him on his OVO blog and then featured him prominently on Take Care, and the success of his Florence + The Machine and Lady Gaga remixes, he's gone from a specter on the Internet to an "Must See" act at all the summer's big festivals and "must sign" on every record exec's list. Well, three chillingly good self-released mixtapes and a seat saved next to Diddy later, he's finally been got.
Earlier this week, Tesfaye announced that he will be re-releasing his trio of 2011 Weeknd mixtapes (House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence), mixed and mastered, as Trilogy with the backing of Universal Republic on November 13th. Additionally, he says he's back in the studio working on bonus tracks — "New music for my fans" — for his major label debut.
His three mixtapes already well worn in our music libraries, we eagerly anticipate the new music, and already the above booming (though verging on bruising) and slightly clipped rework of House of Ballons' "Wicked Games" has us wanting for more of the old remastered anew. Today on Twitter he wrote that, "sonically the #trilogy sounds massive," which seems about right. And then, better yet, he teased a whole new album, writing: "the bonus tracks are a great teaser for the following album. xo" Last year was a good year to be Tesfaye or a The Weeknd fan, and the next year is looking like it will be even better for everyone.

How do you get asset bundles to work with in-app payments for Unity mobile platforms?
asked Dec 13, 2011 at 03:13 AM
add new comment (comments are locked)
You can find two assets bundles as part of this open source project for in-app purchasing The SOOMLA Project. There are two open source apps that we shared as an example. Here is a link to the assets: https://github.com/soomla/storefront/tree/master/themes/muffinRush/img https://github.com/soomla/storefront/tree/master/themes/basic/img
You can also download the entire library as a zip file here - https://github.com/soomla/storefront. We are planning to add a lot more theme in the next few weeks and in about a month you will be able to use our wizard to generate a fully functional in-game store-front with all the assets and screens.

The Constitution Within
AUGUST 18, 2006 by Sheldon Richman
In recent columns I've argued that a free society depends ultimately on people having a proper sense of just conduct. This means more than the words they recite or put on paper. Most crucial is how they act and expect others to act. For this reason it is futile to put undue emphasis on written constitutions as the key to liberty. The real constitution is within -- each of us. If the freedom philosophy is not inscribed in the actions of people, no constitution will help. More . . .

"This card turned out beautifully. The edge-cut option made it stand out, the simple yet distinctive lettering drew just the right amount of attention to the text without distracting from the picture, which we wanted to be the focal point of the card. I wished the back side had allowed for a somewhat bigger single photo with a brief caption (the year, maybe), but that wasn't one of the options and it wasn't a dealbreaker for me."
"Perfect card for presenting family events and special photos. Good selection of sections for large and smaller photos. Suggest option for no design on back of card to offer large space for text and a photo."
"From the design process online, to finalizing our order, this product was all we'd expected! The quality of the paper & photos were great...so very pleased & will order from the company again!"
"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"

DeAndre Jordan would be a fine pick at #6. I know everybody thinks all these guys are going to be All Stars, but don't you wish Greg Oden had turned out to be DeAndre Jordan?
He won't be a steal. I don't doubt that Rivers will have some success in the league as a scorer, I just don't see him as a part of a winning team. Four years from now, some people will see his scoring avg and say we were foolish for passing on him, but I think we'll be better off without him.
If we are looking for perimeter help in this draft, I would rank Rivers clearly behind Beal, Lamb, Marshall and Lillard. I wouldn't be too happy to see him picked at #11.
Kiffin's offenses are "quite good" because he is a great recruiter, and he is a great recruiter because he works at USC, not because of any special talents that are intrinsic to him. Look at his performances at Tennessee and with the Raiders. He is nothing special.
The 4th pick?
One of the things I have really missed for the last couple years is having a guy who speaks for the franchise with confidence and some actual authority. Paul Allen rarely speaks, Larry Miller would speak, but lacks credibility, and Chad seemed to want to speak, but had to walk around on eggshells. All we have to judge Neil by so far are words, but I like the words I've heard so far.
Well, that's a disappointment, but not totally unexpected. $1.6 million is too much to turn down. We have got to find some big bats, and Kelly would have been perfect.
Maybe the brain trust finally realized that hitching our wagon to a late-first rounder who averages 2 ppg and can't stay healthy is probably a bet you want to hedge.
So Lillard is only holding individual workouts? If Olshey means what he has been saying about wanting to see guys compete throughout the predraft process, this has got to be a major red flag. I would much rather have Marshall at #11 than Lillard at #6. The guys we would have to pass up to take him there are too good.
I was going to tell him that if he's given up all hope, he should just go away and take his negativity with him, this being the season of hope for the NBA's downtrodden and so on and so forth....
Yours was better. And longer.
I sure hope you're right. I don't necessarily believe that having a head coach in place is that important for evaluation purposes. We have plenty of people in the organization with coaching experience, and hopefully Olshey is as good as advertised at talent evaluation. If we can use the opening as a bargaining chip to lure someone really special, we would be foolish not to at least consider it.
They aren't applying for a job with you at McDonald's, mike. There are only 30 NBA teams, with 13 roster spots each. That is all the elite professional basketball jobs there are. No matter what your little-man complex tells you about the desirability of living in Portland, prospective NBA players will absolutely fall over themselves to play for the Blazers.
I kind of wonder how much of Ernie's recruiting success was due to him and how much was due to the World Wide Wes connection that left us when Kenny Payne was lured to the Dark Side by Calipari. I agree though, we have dropped off in that area, and with our facilities and commitment to winning, there is really no excuse. The silver lining is that a class ranked fifth based on their high school accomplishments should end up better than that based on Altman's superior coaching. We just need to get young players who will stay in the system for more than a year or two to establish some continuity. This class is at least a good step in that direction.
Chip is just there to confirm that Darron Thomas will not be riding shotgun in the cart this weekend. Nothing good ever comes of that.
So the way I read this, if her $2.1 million dollar debit card had not been reported "lost or stolen", they would never have taken a second look at this and she would have gotten away clean on this? Wow. She doesn't look like a criminal genius. Makes you wonder who else has actually gotten away with this.
I have almost no interest in Lillard. Give me Beal or Drummond at 6, or trade up for Kidd-Gilchrist, who will be the second best player in this draft.
No, I get it. I wish we could add several players from this draft class because I think there are at least four, and maybe as many as six, future all-stars here, and many more legit NBA players who will have long careers. Unfortunately, there is a catch-22 involved with building too heavily through a single draft. On the one hand, if they don't all work out, then you are no better than you were and have wasted your assets. On the other hand, if they do all work out, the CBA prevents you from keeping all of them once they become stars. This is the problem that OKC is about to face. They have the most talented team in the league, built almost completely through the draft, and they are probably going to have to let James Harden walk to avoid the double-luxury tax. Even an owner as rich as PA won't be able (or willing) to pay the kind of punitive taxes these contracts will bring. The true MVP of any championship team for the next several years may turn out to be the team's salary cap expert. Sad, I know, but true.
So...much...bitterness. I'm sorry, guys. It must be so hard to be a Beavers fan, surrounded as you are by success and potential your school cannot hope to match. Seriously. Your posts are so entertaining though, filled with all that thinly veiled jealousy, self-loathing and inferiority. They are the silver lining in every Ducks loss. Thanks for a great season of entertaining posts.
You're out of your mind. Actually, the way the new CBA is set up, you can't realistically add more than two rookies (at least not good rookies) in a single year and have any hope to keep them at the end of their rookie contracts. That's why OKC is probably going to lose Harden at the end of his deal. The tax penalties are just too severe.
So then what happens in four years when you have to pay them all?

Parmalee recently made history when its multi-week #1 smash "Carolina" became the longest climbing single by a duo or group in the 24-year history of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. Parmalee was also the first multi-member Country act to garner a #1 single on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase/ Country Aircheck charts since Florida Georgia Line. "Carolina" was recently certified GOLD (for over 500,000 in sales) by the RIAA.
Parmalee's debut country album, FEELS LIKE CAROLINA, has earned critical praise from People, The New York Times, USA Today, Newsday, Billboard and more. In 2014, Parmalee earned a semi-finalist nod for the Academy of Country Music's coveted "New Artist of the Year" award, a 2014 Teen Choice Award nomination for "Choice Country Group" and toured with one of country's leading male vocalists, Jake Owen, on his Days Of Gold Tour. Parmalee's latest hit, "Close Your Eyes," recently became its second consecutive Top 3 hit at country radio. This year, Parmalee hits the road with Brad Paisley on his "Country Nation World Tour," kicking off Jan. 17, 2015 in Morgantown, WV. The band's new single, "Already Callin' You Mine" impacts country radio on Feb. 2, 2015.

Threefifty's music has been described as "classically influenced post-rock," as guitarists Brett Parnell and Geremy Schulick seamlessly weave their contemporary rock sensibilities into the rich fabric of classical guitar. The duo's stylistic tendencies have expanded, with genre blurred by an intensely personal sound that is rhythmic, infectious, engaging, and at once both new and accessible.

One thought on "postcards.jpg"
I forgot to mention to store your postcards in archival binder pages or holders. Many towns have postcard clubs. Also, one of my fun collections is very colorful greeting type cards with first names on the front. Some names are easy to find and others are hard to find even if they are an old name. These would be great framed. Also, don't forget to look at foreign cards for your ancestors origins.

The trouble with Saint Dorothy
Can you think of a word that describes a person who devoted much of her life to being with people many of us cross the street to avoid? Who for half a century did her best to make sure they didn't go hungry or freeze on winter nights? Who went to Mass every day until her legs couldn't take her that far, at which point Communion was brought to her? Who prayed every day for friend and enemy alike, and whose prayers, some are convinced, had miraculous results? Who went to Confession every week? Who was devoted to the rosary? Who wore hand-me-downs and lived in cold-waterflats?

A Twitter hacker on Monday revealed thousands of user names and passwords for the microblogging site, but here's the good news: Most of the compromised accounts appear to be spam.
Word of the breach began spreading Tuesday after hacking news and activist hub Airdemon posted a dispatch saying 55,000 accounts had been compromised. It linked to Pastebin pages containing the allegedly compromised user names and passwords.
A Twitter representative said the company is investigating. He also downplayed the extent of the potential breach, which hit a small sliver of Twitter's 140 million active users.
"It's worth noting that, so far, we've discovered that the list of alleged accounts and passwords found on Pastebin consists of more than 20,000 duplicates, many spam accounts that have already been suspended and many login credentials that do not appear to be linked (that is, the password and username are not actually associated with each other)," Twitter spokesman Robert Weeks said.
Still, Twitter is taking precautions.
"We are currently looking into the situation. In the meantime, we have pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected," Weeks said.
Twitter needs to be especially sensitive to security breaches. In March 2011, the Federal Trade Commission finalized a settlement with Twitter stemming from a pair of data breaches in 2009 that let hackers gain control of Twitter accounts.
Under the settlement's terms, Twitter faces fines and other penalties if it fails to maintain "a comprehensive information security program."
But Twitter has had a few other recent glitches.
Just two months ago, Twitter was forced to temporarily suspend the Web version of its TweetDeck software after a glitch allowed some users access to other users' accounts. Twitter repaired the bug the day after it was publicly exposed.

It is an exciting time with the Powerball jackpot now at nearly 580 million dollars.
The latest figure was announced during the show when the lotto numbers were drawn Wednesday evening.
The winning numbers are 5, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 6 for the powerball.
Thousands of Minnesotans raced to purchase their tickets before 9 p.m. on the night of the drawing.
Many folks are anxious to learn who wins, and that includes employees at the Minnesota State Lottery.
The lunch ladies are legends at The Minnesota State Lottery.
"Everyone remembers that they didn't come to claim their prize because they had to make the school lunch for the kids," Debbie Hoffmann said.
Tom and Kathleen Morris of Burnsville are still talked about. The couple won 228 million.
Farrah Slad became an instant millionaire.
In fact, 21 times, Powerball winners have been crowned in Minnesota.
Because many want to be number 22, ticket sales have been outrageous. The jackpot went from 500 million dollars to 550 million to nearly 580 million on the same day of the drawing.
Around lunch time, $20 to $25 worth of tickets were being sold every single second.
"Hopefully we're going to have a Minnesotans name on it, (big check)" Hoffmann said.
Before the new millionaire is handed a check, and tells reporters how they plan to spend their dough, the ticket has to be validated.
"The first thing people do when they get here is they have the ticket out, they want it out of their possession," Hoffmann said.
Lottery employees say winners almost always wait.
"We prefer that they do consult with an advisor of some sort because we cannot give out legal advice or tax advice, Ed Van Petten said.
Taxes will be taken out though.
If a Minnesotan wins, they can claim the prize immediately and then would have 60 days to decide if they want a cash payout or have payments spread out over 30 years.
It is a decision no one would mind having to make.

New York Times: Over the 12-year span, the report found 99 studies in which there were quantitative comparisons of online and classroom performance for the same courses. The analysis for the Department of Education found that, on average, students doing some or all of the course online would rank in the 59th percentile in tested performance, compared with the average classroom student scoring in the 50th percentile.My initial reaction is that both learning settings are critical and that students empowered with laptops in a classroom setting, such as in Maine, would probably outperform both groups. That said, it certainly does open the doors wider to distance learning and, hopefully, sweeping educational reform.

Holograms You Can Touch
Shinoda Lab presents "touchable holography" that measures where your hand is in relation to an object, then uses ultrasonic transducers to create pressure at the appropriate points. The result is the simulated sense of tactile interaction with a virtual object.

Well, hello, Dr. Jekyll! Rather than hiding out after smashing a window in Times Square following his Good Morning America interview, Chris Brown simply put on another shirt, donned a pair of glasses and hit the streets of Manhattan with a girlfriend, visiting the restaurant Chin Chin and admiring art at the Opera Gallery. For some reason paparazzi were full of questions about his violent rampage, but the singer just smiled and signed CDs for fans. Maybe he heard E! Online's claim that ABC doesn't plan to file a complaint about his property destruction, and therefore Chris may not see jail time for violating probation. Besides, how could a fellow at the art gallery with glasses need more anger management classes? Pip pip!

4.1 times more Prettyness
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you the brand new shiny Plasma theme that will be used for KDE 4.1:
Here you can see the new applet and krunner backgrounds, the new panel, our brand-new carbon fiber clock and some items that once upon a time weren't themed at all, like the pager and the taskbar.
This is the wonderful work of Nuno, i did some work in the code in the last month to make the theme support even more extensive, to have all your nice plasma widgets with more SVG prettiness, so let's start thing by thing :)
- The pager: the mini-desktops now have 3 different backgrounds, and when the mouse goes over the widget the mini desktops fades in and out with a neat animation
- The panel: when composite is disabled his borders must be nice even if we don't have antialiasing and when its width is the 100% of the screen it's really a different beast, so a different svg it's used, one different for each edge of the screen the panel can be
- Dialogs and krunner: they have the same styleas the applets, but when composite is disabled we don't have antialiasing for border, so it's drawn in a nice retro-style
- Taskbar: it now supports SVG backgrounds for several task states, there was some performance issues but we hope we will be able to enable the neat animations on mouse over also here :)
- System tray: yeah even that now has a SVG background to make it look coherent with the other panel plasmoids like the taskbar (and the pager, if the size is enough)
- The analog clock: KDE4 is all about analog clocks, right? :P so how could we neglect it? Absolutely not, so it now has cool drop shadows under each hand, that are always projected in the right position when the hands rotate
- The folder view: due to its very nature it must have a more translucent background, to be easier on the eyes. Do you want to use that background on your applet? just call setBackgroundHints(TranslucentBackground) et voilà :)
This is not an exaustive list of the new goodies in the Plasma theme support, you can read them more in dept on techbase, that should give you everything you need to create a new theme.
Update: updated with a screenshot with a more meaningful taskbar and if you want to see it in action among other KDE4.1 goodness there is a really pretty and gigantic screencast by ereselibre :)
How can I get it?
I don´t fully understand - Can I download this theme?
As Good as Vista, Right?
Tried it. It sucked. Maybe it was Ubuntu Icky Ibex. Don't know. Don't care. XP is 40% faster. And I hate XP, but it's still faster. If you're going to model yourself after a nice desktop, why doncha look at one of the Apple computers. They're pretty cool and make KDE look like is was designed by a buncha programmers. But don't give up. Just maybe take a few lessons in usability. And don't change something just because it's been around for a while. Like what happened to Konqueror?? What's up with that. God, I could whine about this all night. Hey, I went back to Ubuntu Goofy Gopher and all is well.

KDE 4.1 Video
Check out the following video tour of KDE 4.1:
learn something about padding for god sake
black frame around icons
how to get rid of those black frame around icons
This is definitely the most beautiful plasma theme!
Many thanks!
RE: It's not too late
"KDE 4.1 doesn't support files on the desktop, unless the improbable "folderview plasmoid" is used."
Sure it does, read the following article, carefully. Don't be mislead by the first few lines
Have to say that the folderview plasmoids look a lot more bearable now than at first.
Incidentally, can anyone confirm whether hiding of panels will make it into 4.1?
It's not too late
KDE 4.1 doesn't support files on the desktop, unless the improbable "folderview plasmoid" is used.
If you think the average desktop user is going to accept that, the KDE devs, who seem to live in a bubble, are going to face a cold, hard reality check. The backlash is coming. It's not too late to reverse this decision.
John Thoms
You are right, that is purdy!
Looks sorta like...I don't know, Vista?
Who thought THAT was a good idea?
KDE: be weird
KDE 4 is turning into a truly weird project. The bizarre design decisions and odd looks are bound to create a cult following but otherwise KDE is doomed. What is the obsession with clocks all about? KDE developers are crazy about black clocks.
Mr. What?
If you want to have a sparse, simple layout, there's nothing stopping you. You can hide pretty much everything in Dolphin. You can remove all the widgets and all the panels, if you want. KDE is insanely configurable.
But if we don't show things by default, a lot of people will never discover them. It's easier to hide something that's there than to show something you don't even know exists.
KDE 4 sucks :-(
It totally wastes screen space, offering unimportant "widgets". I mean if you just stare at the background the whole time you use the computer, then yeah, kde 4 is great.
Trying to make it "easy" and "intuitive", and offering "common defaults". The only default, guys, is that there is no default. I don't eg. need 10% of my file manager screen occupied by a huge bar that lets me "email picture", "crop picture", and whatever.
For the love of god, let all these huge bs bars and menus, out of the way.
Gnome foot
What's that Gnome foot doing in the top right corner?
Its a nice looking clock .. buts its still just a clock.
Very Nice!
I like it, much better than before.
Thanks a lot for your work :)
Very, very beatiful. Amazing. Thanks so much!
Re: some answers
'you look a screen for half a second and you can immediately say "wow, this is KDE"'
Or "this is ugly black KDE".
Anyway, there is no such thing that one can say that it's KDE after looking at the screen because even if there's a default, people (and distributors, thank God) can configure it to look completely differently.
"fot the clock font not readable the thing that covers the characters is the metal effect"
Couldn't you then make the numbers be over the effect so unmodified by the effect? It would be more readable.
Traditional menu
ingrate: It's 2 clicks to switch to the traditional menu. The first is a right click on the menu button.
Ok, thanks for your answer and sorry about going off-topic.
I'm actually considering to try to do something myself.
Don't know much Qt yet, though. But that'll be for this summer, if i have time.
Very nice! I like that now the contents of the panel use all of it up - before a lot of space was wasted. Also I see the tray icon backgrounds have been fixed! Great :D
It's really modern and makes me want to install Arch just to see KDE 4 :P
Tasty Menu
Ed: the code of the kde3 tasty menu is an old mess and pretty much unportable, i was thinking about taking kickoff code and making it appear with the tastymenu layout, i only have to find time... that will be the hard part i guess :)
I like it, much better than before.
Thanks a lot for your work :)
They should just change that default background... we've all seen the same wallpaper over and over since the beginning. A new one would be nice to mark the step from 4.0 to 4.1
Otherwise, this is not related but, Mart, please port the Tasty Menu to KDE4...
Lots of people requested it on the kde-apps page, give us some hope.
I hate kickoff :(
no thx
i can has v3.5 with no plasma widgets and no stupid kickoff menu, pleez? kthxbai.
some answers
for the black i was not directly involved in the choice of that so can't really say, but can say that we needed something that like a brand is strongly recognizable, that you look a screen for half a second and you can immediately say "wow, this is KDE"
fot the clock font not readable the thing that covers the characters is the metal effect, the problem maybe is that the font is a bit little but it only uncovers a limit of the svg, you can't do something that looks good on all sizes, or it gets really little on little sizes or enough big to be ugly when the clock is big
Aya again
I also thing that the Aya theme makes for a better default since it integrates better with the widgets. There are other beutiful themes out there but I think that the Aya is more "neutral" and makes for a better default without entering to the discussion of which one is "pretier"
Clock hard to read
Hey, I like the theme overall. It does look like the numbers on the analog clock are below the 'carbon fiber' pattern which makes them difficult to read. An fix could be to render them on top of the pattern.
but normal window decorations?
out of curiosity, will normal window decorations be rounded properly when composite is enabled, or will they be pixelated as is the case now?
will this be done for kde 4.1?
Thank you
Thank you for making KDE beautiful.

Provide an non black theme
I personally am am fan KDE, but not of black themes. I have the impression that Plasma is called ugly in many cases becaus e it is provided with a black theme. Everything I have seen so far from openSuse 11 looks much better.
Much better
My biggest complaint about the default in 4.0 was that borders took too much space. The default qt theme still has this issue though.
Radeon Xpress 200m
I've testet ATI propritary drivers 8.40.4 and 8.471.3. With 8.40.4 I can play OpenGL games, but desktop effects doesn't work. With 8.471.3 ktank hangs, flightgear run's without textures but desktop effects works like they should. ;)
Still not usable
Still ugly and unusable. Instead of nice effects, maybe a good layout for the panel would be nice. Allow me to put small icons on two rows for the launchers and systray and i will jump for joy. But people spend time on clocks that are most of the time covered by windows... You have one in the right corner you know...
And the theme is way bellow the expectations and the hype.
But I am not surprised... KISS is dead, go Vista
Yeah! but..
This looks definitely great!
Just one little comment. I still see a thin horizontal line below the icons in the tray. I'm running openSuSe Factory at the moment and it also suffers from this. Don't know it there's a bug report about it.
Manm that's amazing!
Yup, this theme really kicks ass! Sober, unobstrusive and very professional.
The only thing I kind of dislike is the new analog clock. It seems a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I fancied the old one much better.
Anyhow, gotta say KDE4 look is rocking more and more by the minute!
Looks really nice! Though I think that the white highlights around the edges of plasmoids should be a little bit more suble and not so white. Great work Nuno!
looks great!
There have already been a lot of suggestions about another theme; I still think that Aya is the most suitable to be the default (as in openSUSE) as, even if it is not much eye-candy, unlike other themes, it is as consistent as possible with the other parts (Qt widgets) of KDE. Any other theme means not providing a normal KDE look. And, can the user set the colors of these themes? If not, it's a shame (especially for a default theme) and another point for Aya.
What is in the theme
What things are affected by the Plasma theme? It seems odd to me that the clock SVG is in the theme as it is just one plasmoid. Don't SVG's that affect a single plasmoid belong to the plasmoid and not to the Plasma theme? Does creating a plasmoid need modifying all the themmes, or the clock is a special thing?
The corners of plasmoids still look a bit ugly in my opinion. Is there no way they could be antialiased a bit better? Seeing such jagged corners makes me cry inside :(
Pretty nice all around though.
I forgot...
(me again)
Maybe I seems a bit negative in my previous post (always complaining !) but IMO, this is still the greatest theme out there for the moment (the second one may be Elegance)
Thank you all
Clock and icon widget
very nice, great work !
just one or two complains (because I'm just an user...)
- the clock is great but maybe a little bit "too much" for a default theme
- the icon on the icon plasmoids (like the trash) could be better centered (maybe 3 or 4 pixel lower because it touch the top edge)
Cheers :)
Looks, wow, 1000 times beter! Great work guys.
This is an improvement over the current look, but I must still say I prefer Elegance over this theme... I hope the author of Elegance continues to improve it ;-)
I like it...
I like this theme more than the previous default one, but I still prefer this one:
Really nice!
I really like what I see :) Kudos for all involved in making this! :)
Hi there.
Looks nice. Is it themeable? i mean, if i don't want a black desktop, can i change the system colors to change the panel color? (aya does this, not)
Looks nice
That's pretty elegant, I must say. Last time I tried KDE4, I couldn't get KWin compositing to work, even though compiz worked fine. Is that resolved now? I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m.
Man oh man what a nice screenshot! I can't wait until I get my new laptop (about the time when kde 4.1 is released).
Wow. Just wow...
I love it!

Mexican football earned a reputation boost at the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup in 2000. Only a last-gasp Dwight Yorke equaliser denied Necaxa an opening victory over a Manchester United side also comprising Roy Keane, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs, but Los Rayos nonetheless pipped the Red Devils to second place in Group B and a third-place play-off against Real Madrid, which, against similarly sizeable odds, they won on penalties.
However, though sides from Costa Rica, Congo DR, Japan and Korea Republic have finished on the podium thereafter, not one from the supposedly more prestigious fields of Mexico has – despite the North American nation being represented at every edition of the tournament since 2006.
Monterrey are determined to arrest that statistic. And according to their captain Luis Perez, who helped Necaxa seize bronze in 2000, earning the plaudits for an industrious display against United and converting his spot-kick in the shoot-out reverse of Real, Victor Manuel Vucetich's experienced side are capable of beating not just the teams from Japan, Qatar, New Zealand and Tunisia, but also Spanish colossuses Barcelona and Brazilian giants Santos.
"We have the desire, because we know we have the team and the ability to compete against anyone and win," stated the 30-year-old midfielder. "We are preparing 100 per cent. We know the mistakes we've made in the past, and we're working on not committing them again."
Monterrey have to wait until 8 December, when Auckland City take on the still-to-be-determined J.League winners, to discover who they will meet in the quarter-finals three days later. And while Perez believes it would be an advantage to know the identity of their opponents now, he believes either side would present a challenge for the CONCACAF Champions League holders.
"I think it would be a good thing to know beforehand, to see how they play, who are their key players and things like that," said the man who has been capped 67 times by Mexico since 1998. "But we know that [both] teams will be very competitive, and that we'll have to work hard to overcome either of them."
Monterrey finished with the best record in the group stage of the 2010/11 CONCACAF Champions League, before eliminating compatriots Toluca and Cruz Azul to reach the final. There, despite drawing 2-2 at home to Real Salt Lake in the first leg, Sergio Santana set up David Suazo for the only goal in Utah to earn Los Rayados a 3-2 aggregate victory, the continental crown and a place at Japan 2011.

text: The Odama wiki last edited by BGoldenTLE on 12/09/14 06:09AM View full history OverviewOdama is a real-time strategy game from the mind of Yoot Saito, published by Nintendo. The goal of the game is to bring a giant bell back to the castle gates by ordering soldiers through the Gamecube microphone.PlotPlot!Feudal Japan, 1539. Japan is divided by war and its leader, Yamanouchi Nobutada, is surrounded by conspiracy. He believes that one of his most loyal followers is about to betray and murder him. Instead of waiting for the betrayal, he decides to commit suicide. Extremely enraged by the death of his father, Yamanouchi Kagetora, decides to wage war against all the lords of Japan. He believes that he has an edge over his enemies: he thinks the Gods are on his side and summons the Gods who give him the Odama, a giant rolling ball and prized possession of the Kagetora family brought back from China during the Tang dynasty. However, the ball can only be activated by ringing the Ninten bell, a mystical bell that symbolizes God's voice. Yamanouchi wishes to bring the bell back to his castle and become the only ruler of Japan.GameplayOdama is a real-time strategy game disguised as a pinball game. Each match starts with a set amount of troops that are sent on to the pinball table. The player controls the flippers and tries to destroy the enemy's defenses by knocking the Odama into things. Each table has different mechanisms that can be triggered such as bridges that must be activated so the soldiers can carry the Ninten Bell over a river or trigger a trap for enemies.Give orders to your troops.Your troops are weak. Their strength depends on their morale and their morale can only be boosted with a steady stream of rice. When two different troops face each other, numbers appear to indicate who will win, this number depends on morals. There must be enough troops to transport the bell in order to complete the level and game over is when all troops are dead or you run out of continues with the Odama ball. Furthermore, you can kill your own troops with the Odama ball (if the ball is moving slowly, the troops will dodge it). The only way to prevent this from happening is by getting a power up which will surround the ball with a green aura, preventing it from killing your own troops while capturing enemy troops and converting them to allies.Your troops are controlled via the GameCube microphone. Troops can understand simple commands such as advance, retreat, execute and other words. If morale is low, the troops will not listen to your orders.

At least that's a little more creative then the One World (two thousand flushes) Dot or the Star Alliance Star. They could certainly use a more exciting font for the word mark such as "Monotype Corsiva". The font they are using now is not very elegant and very draconian which is probably why the Star Alliance used it.
Sorry, but this is just a plain 1:1 copy of the Star Alliance livery!
Very creative……..not!
Ten days ago the Number One went out from the paint shop. Something must have happened since then.
There are several milestones that must take place before the first flight. Some of them are: static test, ground vibration test (plus flutter analysis) and gauntlet tests.
What's up with the 787?
I'm sure Delta spent a lot of time, tested this style thoroughly with focus groups and extensively involved the many levels of management and top design consultants in the creative process order to get it just right.
The spring-like logo beneath the tail reminds me of the old Siemens (Siemens-Halske) logo which is not out of synch with increasingly electrical aircraft…
Looks cool, can't wait to see the livery in the 77W or the A330.
ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO THE USE OF Lower or HIGHER case LETTERING in Delta's livery, . . .i;e DELTA or Delta? Perhaps an old/new scheme.

It was at the end of Strawberry Fields. Lennon says "Raspberry sauce" but people heard "I buried Paul".
A couple more: The Wizard by Black Sabbath was either written about the band's dealer or Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
Have you Ever seen rain? by CCR was written to Tom Fogerty after he quit the band.
One of my favorite cryptic references is from "Dream On" by Aerosmith. "Every time I look in the mirror, all these lines on my face are gettin' clearer".
And lastly Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed. It's about a transsexual hooker. I used to listen to the song growing up and I had no idea what I was listening to.

As America's favorite capitalist Jack Donaghy once said, "Once I set my mind on something I have to accomplish it. 10 years ago I was one and a half inch shorter than I am today. Pure will-power." Alec Baldwin's run for mayor of New York City might be the actor's big accomplishment, but just like mentally forcing yourself to get taller, it's going to take time. Baldwin told the New York Times that he plans to get a Master's degree in politics and government when his 30 Rock contract is up next year, enrolling in a graduate program in fall 2012. So, if we swear never to vote for him if he leaves our favorite show, can we cancel his campaign before it gets started?
Rumors swirled around Baldwin's candidacy for the city's 2013 election following the Anthony Wiener sexting scandal earlier this year, but the actor realizes he has a lot to learn before the subsequent election. "What's the reality of the city unions, of contracts, agreements, teachers, infrastructure, decentralizing, everything? And utilities, Con Ed, the M.T.A. — how does it all work?" Baldwin muses. Sound like just the things to ponder over a morning shower Scotch.

The Every Child In Need campaign's response to the DfE consultation, which closed on 4th September 2012.
ECIN Consultation Response.pdf
Adobe Acrobat document [326.9 KB]
The DfE's consultation has now closed - but you can still support the campaign by signing our E-Petition - as over 1,000 people did before the consultation closed. The campaign's response to the consultation is above.
For other ways you can support the campaign see our Get Involved page.
We have asked DfE to commit to formally respond to the consultation before publishing any revised guidance, summarising the responses received and explaining any decisions which are taken. This is required by the Government's Code of Practice on Consultation which was in force at the time (criterion 6).
We do not know when DfE will publish any response, or any revised guidance, but we understand that this is unlikely before the end of this year.
If you are concerned about this proposals, and particularly if you have experience of the situation in the trial authorities, please Contact Us.
See our Case Studies to understand why we are so concerned about the DfE proposals.
Welcome to 'Every Child in Need' - our campaign to protect society's most vulnerable children from damaging changes proposed by the Department for Education.
We are a broad group, comprising charities, campaigners, lawyers, professionals who work with vulnerable children, and affected children and families themselves. We are supported by many social workers, children's services managers and members of Local Safeguarding Children's Boards who share our concerns. A number of professional bodies are also now supporting the campaign - including the Royal College of Nursing (the representative body for nurses and nursing, with 400,000 members) and the Law Society (which represents all solicitors in England and Wales).
We work with and reach thousands of children across the country, including disabled children, children who have been trafficked, critically ill children, unaccompanied minors, and others facing challenges such as homelessness, physical and sexual violence (often gang-related), parental neglect, educational difficulties and behavioural or mental health problems. All of them are 'children in need.'
The Department for Education is proposing wide-ranging changes to the legal framework which protects these children. The Ministers, Michael Gove MP and (previously) Tim Loughton MP, say these changes involve cutting 'red tape', allowing local authority children's services departments more freedom to meet children's needs. Many local authorities - cash-strapped following swingeing cuts to their budgets - are happy to take this lifeline, which will mean less pressure to act quickly when a child in need comes to their attention.
We disagree. The legal framework is not 'red tape' - it is an essential safety net for children when they are failed by their local authority. Basic minimum national standards and requirements are essential. A hands off approach, allowing local authorities to do what they want, when they want, is dangerous.
Even the Government's own impact assessment (.pdf) recognises this - it accepts that, "there is a risk of negative impact on children if central government is less prescriptive." That is not a risk we should be taking.
We believe these proposals are wrong-headed, dangerous and will place the most vulnerable children at risk. Join us and stop these changes.

Osteoporosis is a growing health concern among men and women worldwide. But it is also one of the most preventable diseases today. Statistics show that 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in his or her lifetime. Identifying and treating patients, who have yet sustained a fracture or those who are at risk of a fracture, will substantially reduce the long-term burden of osteoporosis.
Leading the way in providing the most advanced bone density scanning capabilities, Saint Agnes offers The DiscoveryTM from Hologic® − used to detect bone thinning at its earliest stages, and indicate how quickly the disease is spreading for those diagnosed.
Considered the standard for measuring bone mineral density, bone density scanning uses a very small dose of radiation, and is quick and painless. Unlike many providers who offer bone scanning, Saint Agnes has a team of specially accredited radiologists who read the bone scans to ensure the most accurate results possible. Additionally, the Saint Agnes Breast Center can conveniently schedule a bone density study along with a mammogram.
To schedule a bone density scan at Saint Agnes Breast Center, please call (559) 450-5656.

You can get kamagra online which happens to be a dependable and sure way of handling male erecticle dysfunction, impotency and other rather erotic troubles. Presently, there is absolutely no lasting therapeutic on this rather erectile condition but since the debut of the particular pill in the market, a adult male can get back from his erectile incapacity.
You can purchase cheap kamagra which enhances sex conditions on adults male that is shown to quite a few men who had taken this medicament.

I am not sure if I have come across a minor bug in the OpenMx RAM specification. For some reason I cannot free up an element of the S matrix when fitting a twin sub-model. I have tried several different syntax variations (i.e., using the label name and specifically freeing the S parameter element) to free up the parameter, but for some reason the specified covariance parameter element is not being estimated and included in the OpenMx output summary. The odd thing about this is that when checking the S matrix specification, the parameter is set to TRUE. Is this a known bug?
This is not the appropriate spot for this question. Please make a forum post about it instead. I will be deleting this comment soon.
To address your question, that is definitely not the desired behavior. Could you provide a minimal code example that produces the bug? Or some part of the script that does this? It's difficult to track down where the problem is without some example to work with.
Another thing to check for is re-setting a parameter. If you set a parameter to free=TRUE in line 15 of your script and set it to free=FALSE in line 33, then it will silently be free=FALSE even though you set it to free=TRUE initially.

European champion Authorized to shuttle to Chile
Authorized, Europe's champion 3-year-old colt of 2007, will shuttle to Chile to stand at Haras Cordilliera, Racing Post reports.
The 9-year-old son of Montjeu stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, England, for an advertised fee of $10,646 (7,000 British pounds).
Authorized's runners are led by Group 3 winners Sugar Boy and Rehn's Nest and Turkish champion Toruk Macto. The deal to shuttle was brokered by McKeever Bloodstock.
"Chile is fast becoming a major player in the South American scene," bloodstock agent John McKeever told Racing Post. "They have been buying or leasing some superior European stallions of late and their breeders are intent on breaking into the international scene. With his pedigree, race record and promising start at stud, Authorized is set to be a sensation down there."
Authorized earned Europe's champion sophomore honors in 2007 on the strength of three group stakes victories in England: the Group 1 Epsom Derby and Juddmonte International Stakes and the Group 2 Dante Stakes. He also won the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy during his 2-year-old campaign.
In total, Authorized won four of seven starts during his two-season racing career for earnings of $2,545,390.
Authorized was the first foal out of the Saumarez mare Funsie, who is the dam of three winners from as many foals to race. A $702,080 purchase out of the 2005 Tattersalls October yearling sale, he is from the family of French classic winner and prominent sire Green Dancer, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Solemia, and numerous other graded/group stakes winners.
"[It is] my total delight that Chile has finally being able to attract a Derby-winning sire, and my deep gratefulness to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum's Darley operation for affording the Chilean breeders this great opportunity," Juan Pablo Sullivan, speaking for Haras Cordilliera, told Racing Post.

A young, pop singer past, JoJo has begun edging herself back into the spotlight with adept covers and sexy singles that have her sounding ever more like a grown R&B star. "Demonstrate," her brand new single that is produced by Drake's partner in crime, Noah "40" Shebib, is no exception. Now 21-years-old, JoJo offers to demonstrate that which she can't say. "I can let my body explain, I know I can demonstrate," she sings after a tinny guitar intro. She moves capably from a near-whisper to an almost whistle-register and back without overwhelming the patently patient and self-conscious 40 beat, much like she did with his "Marvin's Room."
If it's got her doing like this, we hope she keeps letting that "freaky sh**" run her mind. If she can keep this up, and if R&B continues to get weirder and darker like it has, she'll prove a real force when her third studio album, Jumping Trains, comes out later this year.
