The roofing shelting and side wall have a form of plastic which creates unusual lighting effects in the early morning and late evening.
This morning when I took these shots, my husband cast a shadow on the plastic wall (top left). He created a strange, eerie, translucent view of the greenery behind it.
The arced shadows are cast by the back of our cane verandah chairs.
And then, of course, there is the inevitable plastic watering pot.

There is the plastic money you have when you don't have money.

I thought it was ironic that I found a plastic tag in the plastic pot holding my jade (money) plant.

The anticipation around the Raf Simons' ready-to-wear debut at Dior was palpable, and the designer did not disappoint, evolving his own minimalist style. Brighter hues were served up by Roland Mouret, the master of va-va-voom, and Anne Valerie Hash whose unified collections boasted vibrancy, yet, still, never strayed too far from the black, that's now a mainstay for 2013. Issey Miyake picked back up of the popular trend of color-blocking to kaleidoscopic effect.

COLONIE - The season's first major snow fall has left holiday travelers, and much of the nation's airline industry, in a holding pattern.
It's not the end of the world for people who can't make it home, or who can't make it to their holiday destination, however snow storms do have a tendency to create frequent flier frustration.
Mary Watanabe and her family from Southern California flew cross country for the Christmas holiday, intent on seeing Niagara Falls. Instead, with the whereabouts of much of their luggage unknown, they wound up stuck in the Albany Airport cafeteria on Wednesday night.
"We thought we'd bring the kids here for different scenery and we're stuck in an airport," Mary said, finding humor in the situation by chuckling, her husband, son and daughter at her side.
On a snowy night in the Capital Region, Albany Airport becomes sort of a holding block for hard luck travelers as delays and cancelations light up the arrival and departure board.
Yes, there was a Christmas for Virginia resident Brenda Price, the problem though was that Wednesday night she couldn't make it home to Virginia.
"My daughter has a home in Loon Lake and she's nice enough to come back and get us but the earliest we can get out is Sunday morning," Price said. "We get to enjoy the snow."
It's a passenger predicament shared by many frequent fliers, including Tony Crucetti and his wife, from Wynantskill, who is one his way (hopefully) to California to see the Rose Bowl. His wife can't wait to see the Rose Bowl Parade. And both of them have their hearts set on seeing cable cars and Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing," Crucetti says, "It was on my Bucket List and I kicked it over and it rolled out.

Where Are You Going to Read About Today?
In my two previous entries, I've talked about two of Readers' Advisor guru Nancy Pearl's Doorways into fiction, Story and Character. Pearl believes that readers will often seek out books according to their preferred Doorway. Those who prefer story often look for fast-paced stories or books they just cannot put down. Readers who are drawn to character as their Doorway like well-drawn characters who they feel as if they get to know them as they read the book.
Pearl's third Doorway is setting. Readers who seek out books in which setting is dominant often enjoy reading about the daily activities of their characters or details about the places where the books takes place. Readers of science fiction, fantasy and historical fiction like to get lost in worlds and times that are completey foreign to them. Readers whose main doorway is Setting enjoy the feeling of traveling to new places from the comfort of their own armchair. Patrons who are about to travel to a new place often come to the FMM desk for help finding fiction set in that country. Recently, a patron asked us to help find her books about Turkey, in advance of her trip to that country because she wanted to know more about the place than she could learn from reading travel books and maps. I have a friend who is reading everything she can find about England during WWI---she's also a big fan of Downton Abbey. Another patron always comes to our desk for help finding books set in the American South because she grew up there and reading about it seems to assuage her homesickness a bit. I love reading books about small towns because I grew up in one and can identify with many of the issues that face those living in this sort of community. If you like to read books that take place in a specific place or time-frame, your preferred Doorway is setting.
Here are some authors for whom setting is an important part of their novels:
1. Carl Hiaasen (Florida)
2. Pat Conroy (South Carolina)
3. James Michener (varies by book)
4. Louise Penny (Quebec and environs)
5. Alexander McCall Smith (Botswana and Scotland)
6. Sara Paretsky and Jim Butcher (Chicago)
7. Khaled Hosseini (Afghanistan)
8. Charles Dickens (19th century London)
9. Kent Haruf (Colorado)
10. Louise Erdrich (North Dakota)
11. Tana French and Maeve Binchy (Ireland)
12. Ron Rash (North Carolina)
13. Barbara Kingsolver (Appalachia region)
14. Nevada Barr (American national parks)
15. Jacqueline Winspear (WWI, London)
16. Erin Morgenstern (The Night Circus, fantasy world)
17. David Wroblewski (The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Wisconsin)
18. Pete Hamill (Manhattan)
19. Stieg Larsson (Sweden)
20. Fannie Flagg (American South)

Imagining the Lives of Famous Better Halves
We all know the saying "behind every great man there's a great woman." Lately, a number of fiction titles have taken their inspiration from that feminist adage, reimagining the lives of the women behind famous men: Zelda Fitzgerald and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, among others. And it's fascinating stuff. I've read a number of these books, and each time, I've found myself wanting to learn more about the real circumstances surrounding these couples. Seeing the lives of these acclaimed men through their spouses' eyes offers such an intriguing perspective on the men themselves. More often than not, it seems that the men's accomplishments came at the expense of their wives and families. Here are some titles in this mini-genre that I'd recommend, along with photos of the famous couples. To check on a book's availability in our catalog, click on the book title.
The Paris Wife by Paula McLean
Many of you have probably already read this one in your book clubs, so you know that the book chronicles the life of Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, living in Paris in the 1920's and hobnobbing with the likes of the Fitzgeralds, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. However, you might not have seen Random House's excellent web site about the book, which includes photographs of the Hemingways and the spots where they lived in Paris. It also delves more into the history of their marriage. Check out http://www.randomhouse.com/rhpg/features/paula_mclain/index.php.
Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler
This book is next on my list. Here is the starred Kirkus review of this recently-released book. "Fowler's Zelda is all we would expect and more…once she meets the handsome Scott, her life takes off on an arc of indulgence and decadence that still causes us to shake our heads in wonder… Scott's friendship with Hemingway verges on a love affair—at least it's close enough to one to make Zelda jealous. Ultimately, both of these tragic, pathetic and grand characters are torn apart by their inability to love or leave each other. Fowler has given us a lovely, sad and compulsively readable book."
Above All Things by Tanis Rideout
I love Everest stories (Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is a favorite), so I was initially drawn to this novel because I wanted to read about George Mallory's ill-fated final attempt to summit the mountain in 1924. However, once I began reading the book, what kept my interest was the story of Mallory's wife, Ruth. The author moves back and forth between Mallory's long and excruciating trek up the mountain and Ruth's equally excruciating wait for news of her husband. Although we know what the final result of the expedition will be, Rideout manages to create a suspenseful adventure story, as well as a deeply emotional one.
The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin
Ms. Benjamin paid a visit to our library as part of our Authors Out Loud program and did a wonderful presentation on the lives of Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the subject of this book. Of all the women chronicled in these novels, perhaps most has been published about Mrs. Lindbergh – her own writings, as well as those of her daughter, Reeve. A cold, driven man who dedicated his life to exploration and flight, Charles Lindbergh was not an easy man to live with. Anne's struggle to come out from under his shadow as an aviator and author in her own right is beautifully chronicled in this book.
Chicagoans always love stories about local hero Frank Lloyd Wright, and this book isn't about his relationship with his wife, but with his longtime lover, Mamah Cheney. It offers a nuanced, thoughtful portrayal of Cheney, whose feminist ideals were well ahead of her time, and of the difficult choices she had to make in following her passion and choosing to be with Wright. This is also a wonderful book club book, and part of our book club collection at Cook.
Add a commentCharacter-Driven Fiction
When someone comes to the FMM desk seeking out recommendations for a good book, we try to get an idea of what that reader is looking for by asking about other books he or she has enjoyed. With a few quick questions, we can get some clues about what sort of Doorway that reader prefers to use and sort of book the patron is in the mood that day to read.
Story is the biggest Doorway, according to Nancy Pearl's theory, and most prevalent type of fiction. A reader who is looking for that will say they want a book that keeps them reading and turning the pages. Most of the books on the best-seller lists are compelling stories.
Character is my favorite Doorway to fiction. That means I love to read books about characters who I get to know so well that if I ran into them on the street, I would recognize him or her. I don't always need to like the book's characters, but I want to learn more about them and what motivates them to act as they do in the book. Books with a character's name in the title are often character-driven, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Iriving, Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys, both by Elizabeth Strout and are good examples of this. Often, books in series use the Doorway of character as their main highlight in the book and one I'm currently loving are the Three Pines mystery series by Louise Penny. After finishing the seventh book in this series, I think I have a little crush on Armand Gamache, the main character. At the very least, he is someone I could go to for advice on the most serious problems I might be facing.
Other authors I've enjoyed who emphasize character development include:
1. J. K. Rowling
2. Charles Dickens
3. Tana French
4. Ann Patchett
5. Tom McNeal
6. T. C. Boyle
7. Jonathan Franzen
8. John Irving
9. JoJo Moyes
10. Chris Bohjalian

Reading a Classic
John Steinbeck with his traveling companion, Charley.
I love to read lists about books that I should have read before I graduated from high school, or lists of books that every well-read person has on their shelves, or lists of classics that I must read before I die.
This week the Morning Book Discussion Club at Cook Park discussed a book that I probably should have read in high school and probably should have on my shelf at home. I'm glad that I did read it before I…well, I'm glad I finally read it.
Travels with Charley In Search of America by John Steinbeck is a travelogue of Steinbeck's three-month trip back in 1960 across America in his trailer "Rocinante" with his faithful, aging French poodle, Charley. Steinbeck plans to see a cross section of America, talk to strangers, listen to political views, enjoy the view and write about his experiences and what he learned. His trip didn't exactly go the way he planned.
I laughed at his personification of Charley and his interactions with characters along the way. I marveled at the beautiful country he was describing. He went back to Salinas, California, where he was born and raised and realized that "You Can't Go Home Again." Toward the end of his journey, Steinbeck was traveling along the Deep South at the beginning of school integration and saw a side of America that discouraged and disgusted him.
I can see that this is a small memoir that I will want to re-read. Many of Steinbeck's observations and impressions are still true after 50 years. There are layers of insight and emotion that I haven't unearthed which is a sign of a classic and the work of a great writer.

How to Find Your Next Favorite Book
Do you need a good book to read? What are you looking for in your next book?
A fast paced book you just can't put down?
A book whose characters are so real that you feel as if you'd know them if you met them on the street?
Something that will take you someplace completely different?
Or a book whose language is powerful or poetic?
Did you ever think about why you loved your favorite book? What was it about that particular book that appealed to you so much? Was it the story, the characters, the setting, or the language used by the author? That part of the book that hooked you is called it's appeal characteristic (by those of us who practice the fine art of Readers' Advisory) and the trick to finding your next favorite book is to find one that has similar appeal characterics.
Readers' Advisor guru Nancy Pearl (author of Book Lust and several other books) calls these appeal characteristics Doorways and has determined that there are four main Doorways, of varying sizes, through which readers prefer to get into a book: 1. story, 2. characters, 3. setting and 4. language.
The largest doorway into fiction, according to Nancy Pearl, is story. If you are drawn to books that you just can't put down and can't wait to get back to, story is your preferred doorway. You might like a book that's easy to get into and has a fair amount of dialogue. As the largest doorway, books whose appeal is story are the most prevalent: most best sellers, thrillers, police procedurals, chick lit, romance, horror and young adult literature appeal to readers because of their emphasis on story.
Here are some suggestions of authors you might enjoy if you're mostly looking for a good story:
1. Dan Brown
2. Stephen King
3. Clive Cussler
4. James Patterson
5. J. D. Robb
6. Jodi Picoult
7. David Baldacci
8. Scott Turow
9. Charlaine Harris
10. Harlen Coban
11. Nicholas Sparks
12. Stephenie Meyer
13. Suzanne Collins
14. Michael Crichton
15. Ken Follett
Next week, I'll write about my favorite Doorway into fiction: character.

Configuration and change management with Bcfg2
Documentation Imminent
The lively developer community that surrounds Bcfg2 integrates new designs with the system almost every week. Just recently, a new team that will be focusing on improving the documentation was founded on the mailing list [8]. Documentation is absolutely vital because Bcfg2 requires that you know so many details of the system.
Administrators will also appreciate the tool's support for gradual migration, which removes the need for drastic changes and allows step-by-step specification of the configuration. All told, the use of Bcfg2 to configure and validate clients is a very powerful tool for anyone who is undaunted by its high level of abstraction.

Linda and CometCooker, I am TOTALLY with you on having a hard time making these...UNTIL I finally gave in and used TOOTHPICKS! Seriously, I was so frustrated (In what universe does this only take 15 minutes to do 12 using frosting as glue?)...then I said "ARG!" and grabbed my jar of toothpicks. After that, the ears and feet and arms all stayed on just fine and they turned out great!! I just had to warn the kids not to pop 'em into their mouth whole. Hahaha. These are adorable!
Well I am not a Bunny Maker!! I gave it a try but I couldn't get the ears to stay on. I did not make the icing I bought it, but what a difficult time I had. But they were cute but too fidley for me. Good luck to all that can make these work. I would love to know the secret.
I think the adults making them had more trouble then the kids but all in all great "Messy" fun enjoyed ever minute
This is such a cute and fun thing to do with the kids! For all the parents out there that don't like sugar, this is not for you, if you don't like it, don't bother to comment, we don't CARE if you think it is bad for you, boo hoo. I raised four kids and they had sugar and guess what?? They are healthy and alive! LOVE this recipe!!!
They were cute but (at least for me) they were not quick. I don't see how anybody could put these together in 15 minutes! I guess I'm just not smarter or faster than a fifth grader.

My mothers family was all French speaking, and I had never had the chance to be around many of her relatives, nor had I the chance to learn the language up to this point in my life.
This summer day my aunt, Grandma, mother and I were visiting my great Aunt in Quebec. It was a huge old farmhouse, that had been built in late 1700's. The farm land was extensive as well, and we were given a tour of the fields and animals. I felt very much at home there. It seemed as if I knew what was going to be over each hill and vale.
When we went into the main house to have our dinner, my relatives were all conversing in French, and mom, to keep me busy and not bored, asked (in English) if I would go and get a glass of water for her. Without hesitation, I got up and went to the correct cupboard, retrieved the glass, filled it with water from the 'kitchen' well, which was built into the cupboards, you had to open a door, and put a little bucket down into the 'well' and draw up the water. I noticed a lot of the talking had now stopped.
"How did you know where to get the water?" my mom asked.
"It has always been right here" I answered.
My uncles and aunts found this funny, and they began telling mom in French, "ask her to get us the creamer from the pantry, the butter ladle from the cupboard, ' etc, and I brought everything they had asked for, on command. I had NEVER been in this house before, but I just knew where to find things. It was as if I had lived here before. I did not have to search for anything. Finding this completely amusing, my relatives asked me if I could find where the camera and albums were. I did. I went immediately to the hidden spot in the wall, (there were a lot of little built in cubbies in this house) and I got the camera and albums out.
My mother called me over to the table then, and told me to sit down. She said that it was not polite for me to be snooping around in other peoples houses that I hardly knew, and what would my relatives think of me, being such a snoop. (she thought that I had previously staked out the house, and found all these things, but I had not)
After the meal was done, I went upstairs to play with my little relatives, but, I really spent the day going from room to room, opening drawers and closets and hidden spaces,there was secret passages all over this sprawling farmhouse, and there was even a wall in the parlor that when you pushed on it, it opened up into a type of bookroom. I was delighted that I knew even before opening the doors, cubbies , and walls what was going to be in them, and I explored the passageways like I had been in each one before, they were very familiar to me.
I did not want to leave that house, and I was sorry when the day was over. It was like MY home. I felt like I belonged there.
When I was older I asked mom if she remembered that day, she did, and she was embarrassed that I would have snooped in the house. I told her I had not. I just knew where stuff was. I told her about the passageways I was in, and she said that when the house was originally built, the hidden passageways were put in for a means of escape, in the times of war.
I would love to go back to that house that was so 2nd home to me.!

Systems biology aims at an holistic understanding of the dynamics living organisms. This is facilitated by combining approaches from system sciences, life sciences, and information sciences. In this course we focus on the role of systems theory in systems biology. Specifically, we review some of the advances in systems biology that have been achieved during the recent years based on system theoretic considerations. The following is the (tentative) list of topics that will be covered in the course:
This course is intended as an advanced course introducing in depth system theoretic methods in systems biology.

Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed for both the "standard" and "virtual" installations.
(from http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx ) So you can't use the same OEM license for both the host and the guest (which makes sense), but it appears that you can use the OEM license on the guest only. I have no idea whether once installed on physical hardware if you can transfer that license to a VM. Why do they make this so confusing?

I'm a gun owner and strongly anti-NRA. I support strong background checks, gun restrictions (caliber, rate of fire, and magazine capacity), and closing the private sales loophole (iow, requiring background checks in all situations). I do not advocate hunting except in certain circumstances (and I don't eat meat anymore which is part of that) or teaching children to shoot. Teenagers start to become old enough and responsible enough for that.
The NRA tends to think of guns as the solution to a lot of problems, which means now you have new problems. I also do not share the thinking that our guns would be sufficient to fight off the government. "Well-regulated" is very important to me.
My other responses on this thread give a couple of NRA policy examples... making a home shooting range for children as well as trying to arm schoolteachers. Both would be funny if The Onion wrote them. The fact that Americans really want these things is frightening.

Campus Impact
The purpose of the Campus Impact Committee is to discuss the effects that construction projects have on different people, departments and events on campus.
The goal of the Campus Impact Committee is to minimize inconvenience and maximize communication within the Longwood community.
Through open discussions and free transfer of information, the Committee is able to anticipate potential problems, curtail the impacts, as well as inform the rest of Longwood.
January Updates
- The French project has started! The Barlow Tennis Courts are now off line and part of the construction area. As a result, the campus community can no longer cut through the tennis courts to access main campus. If you park in the Venable Street Lot you should either access campus from High Street or Madison Street.

Stayed here while travelling SE Asia and it was really good value for money and a great hostel. I met some good friends there and had an amazing time. Rooms are clean and bright but basic though you don't need much more. Really recommend the juice stall which is a 1minute walk from Little Bird

"Randy looked like a tick that was about to pop"
FTA: He declined to discuss specific sales figures.Right. Ask yourself ´Why not?´Example: If they sold 5 of these things in the first half of 2012, and in the 2nd half, they sold 25, well there´s the "500% through the roof" increase.
Are we now living in Benghazi ?Shouldn´t we do something about the real problem-people with no self control ?
"Hey Billy Mom bought me a body armor backpack, wonder if it works?""Let´s find out, I know where Dad keeps his gun""Got the gun, OK, you stand over there & I´ll shoot you"BANG.....!!!!Coming to a neighborhood near you......!!!
Don´t be the last one on your block to protect your kids!!!Sheesh, got to do something even if it is a complete knee jerk...
Too bad most schools require clear backpacks.
Thinking like a true victim.Instead, they should be demanding that their schools allow teachers to carry guns.
And also here in Utah, my ninth-grader´s school does not allow the kids to carry their backpacks around with them and into class. They have to stay in the lockers...er, gomer?
School districts still don´t get it. Went to my grandson´s Christmas concert last night and wondered if somebody might think about security at this event. Nope, just as I anticipated, there was absolutely no security at all, all the doors to the school were unlocked and open for easy access by folks attending the event. Glad I carried, just in case...........

This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, supermarkets, hotels, cafe's etc. The room we stayed in was on the third floor... (no lift) however we didn't mind as the sea view we got from the room was beautiful. The only disappointment we had was that there was no one at the reception at all times. We arrived at around 02.00 pm and the main door to the hotel was locked (once you check in, guests are given a key to a side door that leads up to the rooms). We then had to wait in the heat outside for about 15mins not knowing what to do. We finally spotted a tel no printed on the booking form which was thankfully a mobile no. The person who answered spoke no English and my limited spanish trying to explain we were waiting outside was frustrating. We then sat outside the hotel for about 5mins when a car pulled up and the lady then checked us in. We also booked the hotel because it said free wi-fi. However it does not work in the room and you have to sit in the lobby for a connection. We also could not leave our bags after check out at the reception which was at 12.00 while our bus was at 03.00pm, thankfully the tapas bar at the roundabout was more helpful. oleh tamu Hotels.com pada 19/09/2011

Q4: Hewlett Packard's Revenues and Turnover Grow
HP today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended October 31 2007, with net revenue of US$ 28.3 billion, up 15% from a year earlier and up 11% when adjusted for the effects of currency.
In the fourth quarter, GAAP operating profit was US$ 2.6 billion and GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$ 0.81, up from US$ 0.60 in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP operating profit was US$ 2.8 billion, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of US$ 0.86 up from US$ 0.68 in the prior-year period.
"Strong performance across our businesses was highlighted by sharp improvement in our software segment," said Mark Hurd, HP chairman and chief executive officer. "We have added over US$ 12 billion of new revenue this year. While we still have more work to do, HP is well positioned to make further progress in the marketplace."
HP Software revenue doubled over the prior-year period to US$ 698 million, led by strong growth from the businesses acquired in HP's purchase of Mercury Interactive. On a year-over-year basis, HP OpenView grew 24% excluding Mercury. Operating profit was US$ 177 million, or 25.4% of revenue, up from US$ 60 million, or 17.2% of revenue, in the prior-year period.

I want to do a superhero roleplay.
Not Marvel, not DC, none of that. I want to start fresh. The year is 2013 (in the RP), and we begin as our characters in their 'normal' state, before they had powers, and then we RP just a little bit to explain how we got our powers. After that, we'll start RPing as an actual group, forming a team to stop a group of supervillains. It'll be our own version of the Avengers, or the Justice League.
So you'll create your own superhero, but also a villain, and during fights you'll control your villain and fight someone else's superhero.
Over time I'd expect you guys to get together and collaborate, teaming up to create new heroes and villains that both of you would have permission to control.
Anyone up for this project? We'll start simple, with some origin stories, and get bigger and bigger and more epic.

About A Sellout's Samizdat
My journalism career sucked, and that ship's headed for the deep anyway, so I sold out. My corporate job is a joke by comparison, but it's fun in many ways to be a drone to capitalism. Here's my story of what it's like to be a sellout - published in modern-day Soviet samizdat style. If my boss knew, I'd get sent to Siberia. And while I'm at it, why not poke fun at the dumb behavior of my former tribe?
Ask me anything How Did You Sell Out With Style?

I have read from a number of sources that when an animal is slaughtered, adrenalin is released and the person who consumes the meat takes on the animal's fear and stress. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, do you think it's actually a physical transference? Or just guilty conscience?
Tags: animal slaughter, conscience, fear, meat
My history teacher said this exact thing during class a few years ago. I stopped eating meat that day. :p I wrote about this on my profile actually! :)
I don't know the science behind it. Definitely an interesting topic!
I think it might be a spiritual transfer, which affects our physical and mental health as well. People will often address physical and mental/emotional things and remain wary of the spiritual, but I think the three together are important. I've just started delving into the spiritual though.
Part of it may also be physical, as I've heard that if an animal is killed while under fear, the adrenaline makes the animal tense and the 'meat' tougher. Just something I've heard, don't know it it's true.
And of course, we know the illnesses that come from eating animal products. Could it have to with the animal's mental state as well? Can the animal's fear become our fear?
Actually, it's emotional as well. (The three do work together! lol) Guilty conscience definitely, or even guilty subconscience. I'm sure that deep down, in everyone, no one wants to kill another creature for their own benefit or pleasure. I hear people saying, "I eat meat, but I don't think about where it comes from because that bothers me." Definitely emotional, that we can all see I think.
But yeah. I think a lot of it is spiritual, which goes deeper than some of us may think. I'm interested in other answers though! :)

Elive 1.9.22 Ecomorphs Compiz with Enlightenment
In theory, Compiz effects should not work under Enlightenment. But Elive developer Thanatermesis has now morphed Compiz and Enlightenment 17 to achieve the seemingly impossible.
The new <link href="http://www.elivecd.org/Main/News/elive-development-1.9.22-compiz-released" target="_blank">Elive E17 Compiz 1.9.22</link> uses a modified version of Compiz called Ecomorph, which Elive founder and main developer Samuel "Thanatermesis" F. Baggen says is still in development. The LiveCD is meant more for testers than for everyday use; for example, transparent video playback still has its problems.
Thanatermesis not only adapted the Compiz compositing window manager, but modified the Enlightenment 0.17 (known as E17) graphical environment so that E17 and Ecomorph can work together. To be sure that the new Elive is experimental, "do not expect total stability" according to Thanatermesis. Problems can still exist running it on some graphics cards.
Still, the CD was successfully tested on Macbooks and Eee PCs, and works optimally on Nvidia and Intel graphics cards. Check out the demo video at <link href="http://www.elivecd.org" target="_blank">http://www.elivecd.org</link>.
I don't have modified Compiz or Enlightenment 17 to work together, this job is made by Jeffdameth with Ecomorph. I just adapted Elive to work with it, with maybe minor changes in E17 to customize it better for Elive.
