August XX..
Due to Youngchoon's ability.. ㅋㅋ Went to Gangneung? SamCheok to play
Because of left over tasks, other members came later.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
This photo was taken right upon arrival at 6 in the morning? Around there..
The kids were a little noisy.. Individually parking their cars and then went into the resting area to chat ㅋㅋ
With these dressing and hairdo, hanging around at the resting area and thus, there were people with words over here and there..
"Isn't that Super Junior?"
"Eh~ By no means will they be hanging around like these?"
The feeling of the photo is
Boastful . Delinquency . Impudent . Elementary school kids . Backyard camping
Roughly this standard.. ㅋㅋ
Not only did we played football, we even stripped and swam, as well as barbequing meat to eat ㅋㅋ
Even though there are many photos, I shall upload slowly
The one that is the most rated* will end up as my computer's wallpaper (-┏)
* 60 people portion? Those who prepared meat that were more than this portion, thank you, Kyuhyun's fans
Thanks to them, we only ate meat for the all 3 days ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Translated by: Cinderella @ Sj-World.net
May be taken out with full credits and do not add in yours!
* EDIT: At first, I wrote it as the highest quality photo, but as corrected by carolyn, it's actually the most rated photo :x
I knew he must have went as well but omg Kibum T-T ♥
This picture shall remain as my bg until he uploads an even better photo! :D

"American Water Heater"
I purchased my home in 2004 and the builder installed two fifty gallon American water heaters with a 6 year warranty. The units are quiet and consistently deliver hot water on demand. I have not had any problems with the unit in nine years. However, I was not aware that I needed to flush the units and I now have a sediment build-up that is evident by a popping sound. I was able to quiet the popping by flushing the unit. Since the two units sit in a walk-in attic above my master bedroom, I'm going to proactively replace the units. I am researching units but could very well go with American once again.

"50 glns natural gas"
As a plumber contractor, I do not recommend anyone to buy or install these American water heaters. The water heater was installed about six months ago and it failed. So we called the customer support center and we did troubleshooting for two hours they finally decided to get the part from Lowes. Lowes had asked me to bring in the old part in exchange for the new part, the installation did not work. Called again, back to the home depot. Got the new part drained the water heater and installed the new part light it up the water heater exploded at the bottom. Called again they asked to do more trouble shooting I refused to light it up again after the explosion, customer said to make an appointment with the technician to look at the problem I had to pay them, I�m tired of trouble shooting, trips to lowest, phone calls, bullshit. I finally replaced the water heater for a Bradfor white water heater because I know that this is a good quality product. Not crap like American water heater.

Satisfaction Rating:
I bought a home 2 years ago in 2011. The previous homeowner bought an American Water Heater in 2004 with a 12 year warranty. The warranty has a clause stating that the warranty only applies to the original purchaser. Now I had had several problems in the last year with keeping the pilot lit. I've had thermal couplers replaced (twice), and replaced a valve, and it is still routinely malfunctioning. I called up and (stupidly) told them I wasn't the original purchaser. They just told me to try a couple of things and nothing worked. They recommended a new gas valve. I said I want repair work done under warranty. They said, "Sorry, we won't honor the warranty because you weren't the original purchaser". I told them that this is just a greedy money-saving slimy business practice. Even if the homeowner sold the house a week after installing the water heater, they won't honor their warranty to the new purchaser. What purpose does it serve to conduct your business that way? It�s only purpose is to save money, and because they can do it. Their mindset is, "Well, the original purchaser isn't going to care about this and not buy the water heater, because it only screws over the next guy. It doesn't affect the person who bought it, so let's cut off the warranty on the product as quickly as possible." They think they can make some cost- cutting measure like this without consequences because they got nothing from me directly. But I bought this house and everything in it, and paid for it, including a water heater that came with a warranty. I spoke to 3 customer service people and a supervisor and the supervisor just says, "That�s what the warranty says." He even says he understands how I feel and it recently happened to him on something he bought! Yet he says they "Can�t" do anything. I said, no, you can, but you won�t. I told them that they are forgetting that when I have to buy a new water heater some day, it won't be from American Water Heater. They don't stand behind their products. They made their choice and that's the consequences. Don't buy American water heaters!

"Home water heater review"
The Mor-Flo model water heater, by the American Water Heater Group as described above, came with my house when I purchased the house over nine years ago. At the time, the water heater was less than five years old. In that time I have not had to do any repairs or maintenance. The one thing I don't like about it is that it is not as efficient as the newer models on the market today, but that is no fault of the product, rather the technology at the time. We keep the water temp very high in our house, and have never had a problem running out when showering, doing laundry or the dishes. I would absolutely buy this same brand again, if a new model was up to current efficiency standards. I have also recommended this brand to friends and family in the past, and will continue to do so in the future.

"Dissatisfied With My Pro Line Flame Guard Water Heater"
I purchase this water heater in January of 2005. Frankly, I really do not know what to look for in a water heater and so I requested this one be chosen and installed by my plumber. The one thing I do like about it is that it has an electric starter rather than a constant flame. However, it seems that just a couple of months into ownership I received a notice that a part had been recalled the heater was not safe until I had the part replaced. I had to make numerous telephone calls to get an individual on the phone who understood what the recall was about, and who could instruct me on how to order the new part and have the installation paid for. To my mind this was a sign that the heater design was released on the market before it was ready, and that the company did not well-train their customer support staff. Since the repair, I have had to turn up the temperature to get enough hot water to fill a 25 gal. tub; this is a 40 or 50 gal. water heater tank. So, I've soured on the purchase, and when it finally breaks down, I won't be purchasing another water heater from American Water Heater Company.
Satisfaction Rating:
"American Water Heater"
I have owned this water heater for a few months. I like it because it has a nice temperature stat on it which makes it easy to set it to the perfect temperature. I am only somewhat satisfied with it because even though the heater is only 15 feet from the kitchen, I must wait for the water to warm up for almost 20 seconds each time I use it. I've never had any repairs needed on this heater. I would recommend this heater is a friend were to ask for my recommendations! Its a large water heater, so I can take very long showers with no problem.

"I'm in hot water and loving it"
I like my water heater quite a lot It never delivers cold water when I want hot. My water heater saves me plenty of dough Using fewer therms makes the meter run slow. Concern about accidents is never on my mind Built-in safety valves are just the right kind. So here's to my water heater, a shining tower There's nothing like taking a nice hot shower.

"Red, White, & Blue is "Ready, When, Bought": American Water Heater a Winner"
After my old water heater catastrophically failed in 2007, I faced a plethora of choices for replacement. Just as there are over thirty brand names listed in this review's selection, I had to choose between brand name, price, local availability, and greatest reviews. Fortunately, my plumbing company, who I have used for over a decade, made the decision with and for me, and brought an American 50-gallon water heater into my home. I am no expert on the design, inner workings, or functionality of water heaters, but I know when something works or doesn't work, or when something makes a difference in my life, and my American water heater surely did. After installation, the water was heated and ready to use within 8 hours. It was quiet, did not make any odd or alarming noises, and unlike my previous heater, I could tell an immediate difference in efficiency, as the thermostat shut off and cycled appropriately, and did not run constantly. I could also tell a difference in the clarity and consistency of my water. It seemed cleaner, smelled better, and the temperature was controlled and consistent, with no wild swings depending on the amount of usage. After I received my next electric bill, and compared with the next several months of bills, I could tell a difference, that would no doubt assist me in paying for it over time. My electric company even gave me a credit for the efficiency rating of this heater. The instructions were easy to read, the warranty was one of the best offered on the market, and most certainly was a helpful selling point as I put my house on the market. In short, it gave me peace of mind, and in this day and age of enough things to worry about, that is priceless to me. The label of buying American might be red, white, and blue, but for an American water heater, their selling point should be "ready, when, bought."

"I think she's ready to blow"
It's funny how time flies! It seems like I just had a new water heater installed yesterday, and it was actually 15 years ago. The reason I think shes ready to blow, is because the water so hot, you can't stand it. Looks like it will be time for a replacement soon, and I just wanted to say she's been a trouper for our family!

Singularity City, Formerly Chicago.
Singularity city was created as a UN led social experiment in a world that's on the verge of a new world war. This super advanced metropolitan area was built to last. Started in 2025, this monster of a city is now a international hotbed for spies, Intelligence organizations, hackers, riggers, organized crime, scientists and regular old folks trying to make a living in the worlds most advanced city. Welcome to your home. Doesn't matter if you are a newly arrived defense contractor working for one of the Massive Corporations that pretty much own the upper levels, or a thug That's running with the Gangs on low and mid level. Or if you're a spy who spent far to much time in modern day Babylon. You are home. Welcome to SC kid, I hope you brought yourself a trench oat, because Chicago used to be rainy this time a year.
Current Events and The City;
The Singularity Project
In midst of the political turmoil, With America once more on track after the hostilities settled down. UN came with a As well as a new, super efficient energy source. Spearheaded by Dr Joseph Gilhelm , a brilliant physicist who years easlier had deviced a small test reactor of his own in his native home of New Zealand. The main device was something what he called a "implosion core" A self contained energy source that constantly fluxed between expanding and detracting, s essentially imploding itself creating massive amounts of energy whenever it exploded outwards. This, combined with the advancements in man and machine integration, led to new age. One that would See America rise from its darkest hours back to a financial powerhouse. The UN in the meanwhile, Established Singularity city on what was once Chicago.
Chicago, having been the worst hit by the riots, was in dire straits. The city looked like a warzone, crime was rampart and its people lived in third world country conditions. The UN went in, suggesting rebuilding it as Singularity City. In turn, the UN would finance the reconstruction. This super advanced city, the most advanced in human history was a multi-trillion project, financed by many different countries with interest. Including countries that clearly just funneled money from China. It was a project trying to advance humanity, the largest social experiment in history. Based on studies conducted on the citizens who all were essentially test subjects in their own right, the discoveries and new technology developed on site has been made with neck breaking speed. To help police the massive project, the Un have a special internation police force trained nad situated in Singularity. The SCPD is much like a foreign legion in that it has people from all over the world. To make the allready superactive Melting pot worse, there is dozens of highly competetive Mega cooperations, vying for the patents that may change the future. The city itself is buil around the basis that higher is better. In fact, the entire city has become so massive and so large in height that Its sectioned in levels. The higher up, the less polluted, the less dirty it gets. But also the more controlled it gets. As such. on the lower levels, you are more likely to find the Triads, Mob Thugs and street gangs.
The City of Singularity City is standing on the verge of a new breakthrough. Everyone can feel it, everyone is anticipating it. Exactly what it will consist of nobody knows. But what people do know is that there has been a large amount of gang violence on the lower levels. That Triads are more active then ever and that the Police are out in force. In the midst of this, our characters find themselves for different reasons, stuck in the middle of a Cold War about to go Hot.

Gotta say that I LOVE the world you set up, and I'm highly tempted to join. I just need to think up a character and story I'd like to do.
As I said in the interest, I'd like to join too. The world you created also interests me and I love cyberpunk to begin with haha. I have a couple character ideas in mind to, but I may wait to see one or two before I throw one up, just to make sure I'm doing it right.
I like your avatar good sir. And feel three to use me for a idea plank. I just realized I missed the entire MEGA CORP SECTION.

Put the thorn in my side, the coins on my eyes
I'm not awake, I'm leaving Eden
And all her frozen charms lie cold in my arms
Panic went away and left me reeling
It's warm outside but the weather fails to hide
the stinging loss inside
For in the back of my mind I always thought I'd find my way to paradise

One hundred fifty-seven million eight hundred seventy-one thousand eight dollars. ($157,871,008)
That is the sum that Canadian taxpayers have spent on allowances for federal political parties over the past six (6) years. We have spent:
$17,462,241 on supporting the Bloc Québécois;
$55,641,367 on supporting the Conservative Party of Canada;
$7,200,633 on supporting the Green Party of Canada;
$51,239,611 on supporting the Liberal Party of Canada; and
$26,327,156 on supporting the New Democratic Party.
$157,871,008 has earned us the contempt of the political party movers and shakers. They no longer care about what we think or what we believe our issues to be. Our MPs and Senators can afford to bicker endlessly and waste time on frivolous issues as they will get a tidy allowance from us every quarter (average over 6 years - rounded off):
$728,000 for the BQ;
$2,318,000 for the CPC;
$300,000 for the Greens;
$2,135,000 for the LPC; and
$1,097,000 for the NDP
With that kind of an allowance coming in four times a year, politicians have no need to listen to us. With some careful budgeting they can fight an election without our donations. They can buy television time, tell us a pack of lies and as long as they get some votes on election day, the allowances keep rolling in.
We have been shorn like sheep and our democratic right to financially support a political party removed from us. $157,871,008 was taken from general tax revenues and given to political parties we would never support as an 'allowance'.
For nearly $158 million of our tax dollars (and counting) we have bought the contempt of our elected representatives and disorderly conduct in place of good governance.

GNOME Shell to support a "classic" mode
Posted Nov 21, 2012 17:30 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137) [Link]
Of course Gnome has a better chance of pulling it off, since they can tweak the Gnome code to work better with extensions if they have to.
Posted Nov 21, 2012 19:20 UTC (Wed) by ebassi (subscriber, #54855) [Link]
well, it's not a problem of access to the code - it's all open, after all, and we still respond well to patches from contributors. it's more an issue of constraint: Mint wants to be able to provide a specific user experience that includes being able to completely change itself in ways that are not under the original author's intents and designs. the GNOME shell extension team can achieve that because it has a smaller surface area, and can make decisions; obviously, this will lead to a series of shitstorms on web forums and mailing lists, with people saying that we "disenfranchise" users (whatever that may mean in the context of a free and open source project), but it's not like we aren't used to it by now.

Which is better than the alternative.
I find quite a lot of what I read on the Internet (including most of your posts) not worth reading in hindsight, but I value freedom of speech, so I'm willing to put up with it.

There was nothing that could be rude as the only thing you said is that you don't find most of my post worth reading. In my impression I think I have more or less the same discussion, usually with the same people in pretty much every LWN article. It gets to the point that even if I am just interested in something other than GNOME, it turns in the same discussion anyway. I sometimes wonder if the repeating the same discussion is not against the spirit of the GNOME Code of Conduct ("try to be concise", see https://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct).
Saying "not worth reading in hindsight": I actually wondered why only in hindsight ;)

I'm not really sure what you mean by this, but if you mean "why do I read things that I think I might disagree with," it's because I've learned things from people with whom I disagree with on almost everything. I admit not often, but it has happened.

And communities are free to enforce standards of discourse to encourage the sort of participation they like.

This is why I value moderated places like GNOME IRC channels or mailing lists over Facebook or Twitter for GNOME development discussion or Google News over Tumblr.

This guy must be the ultimate troll in your eyes.
"The point is that it decreases our brand presence. We've always argued that if it is anything, GNOME is a UX. There might be a case for letting people tweak things here and there, but I really think that every GNOME install should have the same core look and feel. Otherwise, what is it that we are doing in the first place?" -- Allan Day

I do wish comments on these articles would stay away from hyperbole. Every time GNOME is mentioned people immediately jump to making assumptions about people and intent. There are gifted coders and contributors on LWN. Surely the time would be better spent contributing.

Isn't this a good thing? Assuming that the original author isn't perfect.
Posted Nov 22, 2012 9:14 UTC (Thu) by ebassi (subscriber, #54855) [Link]
one thing that has been learned over the past 15 years of GNOME is that there are limits as to what you can make your environment do, assuming you still want to provide a coherent experience that doesn't break horribly if something goes ever so slightly wrong. it has nothing to do with perfection (which we know is the enemy of "good"), but more with surface area and interaction between different parts of the system. complexity increases exponentially with the number of moving parts, after all.
if you have, for instance, 2 extensions then you need to handle four cases: only (a) is loaded, only (b) is loaded, both (a) and (b) are loaded, both (a) and (b) are unloaded. on top of that, dependencies and ordering may be issues (and one of the things that Clem found is that yes, they are): now you have to handle the case where (a) is loaded before (b), and the case where (b) is loaded before (a). total: six cases, for two extensions; if you look at the list of extensions needed to implement a "classic" UX, you can start to extrapolate how many failure conditions have to be checked to avoid breaking your UI. now a solution is to make it a single extension, or at least a set of independent extensions that do not interact between them and do not rely on ordering, and eliminate all of this in one fell swoop - but this falls outside the constraints on Cinnamon, which allows you to control individual extensions, and has different extensions depending on each other. again, fair enough: I cannot even remotely pretend to dictate what Clem should or should not do, and I don't begrudge him the necessity to fork, given his constraints.
it's really not something that should be so surprising, but I guess it needs to be experienced as a developer to be truly believed. I posit that this is why a lot of people here, and elsewhere, think that GNOME developers are morons that like to remove third party extension points just because the want to impose misery on their users, as opposed to the people that have been dealing with the user-reported bugs and requests for the past 15 years - which is insulting and wrong, but mostly insulting.

Coupling *is* bad, and it *does* push up the test matrix, but clearly it's not as bad as all that. It might be worth seeing what ball-of-mud projects like Emacs are semi-accidentally doing right in this area, and copying it.

It looks like there's no real progress there. Other projects had moved from simple text editors to full-scale semantically-aware IDEs during this time.

stuff that we are copying, or we can copy, from Firefox: communication with extension authors; a certain grace period for letting the most successful extensions be updated before the actual release; integration of part of the functionality of the extensions into core.
it's been two cycles: it will take a bit of time to get to the point where Firefox is now.
Posted Nov 23, 2012 9:35 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
So if GNOME is modelling its extension API on FF's, it's not a good sign. If it models it on FF's except treats it like an API and doesn't break it at the drop of a hat, that might work better.
(Again, I don't really know how Emacs has avoided implosion despite using the same 'big ball of mud, everything is available' approach as FF extensions do. I suspect it is simply treating its interfaces like a programming language designer would, i.e. extremely conservatively, taking *decades* to deprecate *anything*, so by the time your extension moves from using deprecated interfaces to breaking because they're removed, the app itself is too obsolete for anyone to care about it anymore. It only just broke old-style backquote, for instance, and that started emitting deprecation warnings something like fifteen years ago.
Perhaps if people would consider that they are kicking all their users every time they deprecate a stable interface it might help. I understand that Emacs developers ritually cut off and sacrifice a body part to the cons gods every time they intentionally break anything that external Lisp is relying on :P That attitude might help too, but it seems to be almost unique in the 'just break it dammit' free software community right now.)

Again, I don't really know how Emacs has avoided implosion despite using the same 'big ball of mud, everything is available' approach as FF extensions do.
because you're obviously ignoring the fact that the emacs users are putting up with a big ball of elisp with obscure commands that require three keyboards to actually be used successfully, which means that they are capable of getting out of the mess by themselves, and they'll probably enjoy doing so - whereas people installing Firefox and GNOME extensions are much more likely not to be software developers or humungous geeks.

(Also emacs' UI is pretty flat and decoupled to start with, since it consists mostly of keybindings. It's much easier to merge 10 extensions' keybindings than it is to merge 10 extensions' arbitrary fiddlings with status bars, menus, etc., and those things change from release to release too.)

Firefox also has an extensions API, and things that use that are very stable. But Firefox didn't start with an explicit API, instead extensions are allowed to muck with anything in the browser, and ones that do are extremely sensitive to any changes in the browser (potentially including compile options)
as in everything, there are tradeoffs
Posted Nov 22, 2012 22:51 UTC (Thu) by ebassi (subscriber, #54855) [Link]
By this logic extensions.gnome.org is doomed to failure. Curious if you really believe this.
you're extrapolating from something I didn't say.
I said that it's extremely hard to create a system that can be QA'd (and documented) effectively - not impossible, because there are few things that are outright impossible.
it's also true that everyone can set up their own system using extensions, evaluate what breaks, and learn to avoid it - locally; end users, especially enthusiasts, have a fairly high threshold for pain, otherwise you wouldn't be able to explain vim, emacs, or enlightenment. I'd rather not expose non-enthusiasts to this mess, though.

My impression (which could be wrong) is that the Gnome project does not want to accept patches from outside contributors, which is why Cinnamon was forked in the first place. Are you saying that Cinnamon could be integrated with Gnome Shell and Mutter if the Mint project submitted patches?
Posted Nov 21, 2012 21:05 UTC (Wed) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link]
So "If you want that maintain it yourself," which they're doing.
Posted Nov 22, 2012 2:20 UTC (Thu) by jbicha (subscriber, #75043) [Link]
I believe that whatever muffin does could be done in mutter. Even Cinnamon could probably be implemented in extensions and I think GNOME Shell developers would be interested in accepting a few patches to make that possible (if it isn't already).
But the Linux Mint devs would rather keep their GNOME 3.2 forks of GNOME Shell, Mutter, and Nautilus.

My impression (which could be wrong) is that the Gnome project does not want to accept patches from outside contributors
I guess that's why we don't have a public bug tracking system, or integrated patch review on said bug tracking system, or even a public, distributed revision control system to store all our code.</sarcasm>
seriously: we accept patches and contributions from everyone; there are constraints: if the maintainer does not think your patch should be integrated, then he won't integrate it. the reasons for that depend on the product's direction, long term maintainability, style issues, design issues, or implementation issues. any failure to match to the per-product criteria will be communicated and there can even be a back and forth until the patch is either dropped or pushed to the repository.
I have just described the process of submitting a patch to any open source/free software project; it shouldn't be surprising anyone that things work this way for GNOME too.
Posted Nov 22, 2012 8:57 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
are you really surprised that people don't "work with them" to submit patches?

While I noticed some regressions in the first versions of GNOME 3.x (most notably bookmarks in nautilus), I think it's a healthy sign of a project that features are not applied blindly.
Posted Nov 22, 2012 9:27 UTC (Thu) by ebassi (subscriber, #54855) [Link]
but when the project leaders make such a point of saying that they don't want features, they don't want flexibility, they don't want...
this is something you have inferred by yourself, or extrapolated by single data points. yes, it has been said by the members of the design theme that extensions and themes are potentially dangerous; they have any right to say so, and from their perspective (and from others as well) they are absolutely right. on the other hand, you're replying to an article that says that the GNOME project has decided to use extensions to bring the 2.x user experience back for the users that feel so inclined. I think an announcement from the release team, which is direct emanation of the GNOME Foundation board of directors, should have more weight on any judgement of the direction of the GNOME project than individual emails extrapolated out of their context.
another data point for you to consider: I accept patches, I accept features, and I accept bug reports - and so do all the other maintainers in the GNOME project, otherwise we would have closed Bugzilla down. if you think I (or any other maintainer) will commit any and all patches you send my way without a review, then you're obviously deluding yourself: I will reject patches that are sub-par, or conflict with my vision of the modules I maintain. it's not something unprecedented or weird or wrong. if you think you know better, then the licensing and development model allows you to fork my code and do whatever; I'd obviously prefer to discuss things before adopting the nuclear option, but that's just how things works in free software, don't they? try sending a patch for a kernel module written in C++, or using the GNU coding style, or using the wrong interface, to lkml, and see what happens.
tho, I have to agree: we have a marketing/communication issue. every time GNOME does $SOMETHING, people immediately accuse us of being irrational, wrong, stupid, and be on the payroll of Microsoft or Apple or Google or Satan himself. this, repeated over the course of years tends to create a siege mentality - it is (sadly) natural, and we (luckily) lack the personalities to just tell people to fuck off and die in a ditch, like some other project does.
Posted Nov 22, 2012 9:59 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
actually, I think you (as a project) are doing a pretty good job of getting that exact message out.
This article is one of the very few items that goes the other way.
Not accepting patches because they don't agree with your vision for the project is within your right (and your responsibilities for that matter), but you can't do that and then complain "why don't they just send patches" when they fork your project.
Preventing a fork is at least as much the responsibility of the people running the project (thorugh the process of accepting outside viewpoints and expanding the scope of the project when patches are supplied) as it is the responsibility of the people who start the new fork

If you're talking about the MATE and Cinnamon projects, I don't think that those developers even tried submitting patches. If they didn't, then I believe the GNOME developers are fully justified in saying "why don't they just send patches."

Now this is not needed anymore (everyone has their own infra).

correct, as far as I know after talking with the maintainers of the involved projects.

For that reason, I'm not going to be willing to waste time trying to bend GNOME 3 in "Classic mode" to my will (if that's even possible, given that you don't believe in giving customization options to users). It's clear it will always be a second class citizen, because it's not consistent with your "vision". Which is fine. Fortunately, the XFCE developers are willing to support my desired use case --- which is why I'd encourage all desktop developers who are interested in contributing to GNOME 3 "classic mode extensions", to consider instead contributing to XFCE. At least that way they will be contributing to a project where their contributions will be valued, instead of being at best tolerated since they don't match up with the GNOME project's "vision".
Posted Nov 24, 2012 2:27 UTC (Sat) by jbicha (subscriber, #75043) [Link]
I understand you're upset at GNOME 3 to date. Hopefully you can see that the GNOME developers actually do appreciate extensions that add customizability. (I mean that's kind of what this whole news topic is about.)
I'm glad that XFCE seems to be working out well for you. Maybe you should take a look at GNOME 3.8 or 3.10 to see how well the classic mode lives up to your expectations next year.

Specifically, I'm using https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/484/workspace-grid/ which has satisfied my need for a 7x7 grid quite admirably.

The problem is that the GNOME developers have a very bad reputation about not caring about preserving their existing userbase's usage patterns, and instead of developed Steve Jobs arrogance of trying to tell me that "I'm using it wrong". I haven't seen any evidence they've repented of their arrogance. Until then, why should I risk my productivity?
Better to try to encourage more people to use the competition such as XFCE, and make it be a better desktop environment than GNOME 2.x ever was (and certainly better than GNOME 3.x is by my lights).

XFCE, on the other hand, is not married to GTK2 - there are plans to migrate to GTK3 (it's actually slowly happening right now). And XFCE community is nice enough to minimize breaking UI changes.
Posted Nov 26, 2012 17:07 UTC (Mon) by tytso (subscriber, #9993) [Link]
But in any case, that's why I've been recommending XFCE; that and the fact that it's available on all of the major distributions, which is not necessarily true for the Gnome 2 forks.

Hot chocolate. Good music and Rainy days.
I'm 23, love fashion, sophisticated books, trips and hikes, beautiful places, walks in the wood, impressionism, vampires, autumn, early mornings, jogging, old Europe, things out of the ordinary. If I were to choose any animal to be I'd choose to be a panther. I like music that makes my heart beat faster than usual and I dancing barefoot on the street under the rain. I like drawing, painting, creating. It's amazing how art can take you away from any troubles. also i love to get nice feedback messages so feel free to say something:)

Watch the entire series now!
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, one in five people have a diagnosable mental disorder. For many families, the fear and shame associated with a diagnosis of mental illness can lead to isolation and suffering in silence. Healthy Minds, produced by WLIW21 in association with WNET.ORG, aims to remove the stigma that can prevent patients and their families from seeking help. Each half-hour in the 16-episode series humanizes a specific mental health condition through inspiring personal stories and interviews with leading researchers and experts, who provide the latest information about diagnosis and treatment. Episodes cover a wide range of topics, including autism, depression, chemical dependency, post–traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and bipolar disorder, to bring viewers a better understanding of disorders that can affect anyone, at any age.
Interviews with families living with – and overcoming – mental illness offer relatable perspectives on mental health conditions that are often misunderstood. Three special episodes further demonstrate the universal impact of mental illness through celebrity interviews: news veteran Mike Wallace reveals his battle with depression, and actor Patty Duke and broadcast journalist Jane Pauley talk about their experiences living with bipolar disorder. Healthy Minds makes medical jargon and brain concepts at the forefront of modern medicine, like neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, easy to understand. The series also explores proactive steps viewers can take towards their own mental wellness and the benefits of early intervention for a variety of disorders.
Healthy Minds provides expertise from leading researchers affiliated with prestigious mental health institutions, including the National Institute of Mental Health, Columbia University Medical Center, the New York State Psychiatric Institute, the Hazelden Foundation, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the American Psychiatric Foundation. The series is hosted by Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein, CEO and medical director of Holliswood Hospital (Queens, N.Y.) and chair of the section on psychiatry at the New York Academy of Medicine.
As Dr. Borenstein explains, "Everyone is touched by psychiatric conditions, either themselves or a loved one. Our goal is to share cutting-edge information from experts along with personal experiences from people who have overcome psychiatric conditions. Now, more than ever, it is important to reduce stigma and encourage people who have a psychiatric condition not to suffer in silence but to seek help. I want people to know that with help, there is hope." All episodes are streaming online with resources for each topic.
Since the series' premiere on WLIW21 in 2006, Healthy Minds has been recognized with numerous awards, including three silver and two bronze Telly Awards, honoring the best in local television, and a Fair Media Council Folio Award.
A production of WLIW21 for WNET.ORG. Executive Producer: Theresa Statz-Smith. Producer: Mary Puma. Healthy Minds is made possible in part by New York Academy of Medicine, NARSAD, the van Ameringen Foundation, the New York State Office of Mental Health, Value Options, and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. National distribution of Healthy Minds is made possible by a grant from the American Psychiatric Foundation, which is the charitable and public educational arm of the American Psychiatric Association.

The spirit of giving shined bright at Fresno's Poverello House Thanksgiving day. For more than two decades, the shelter has served Thanksgiving lunch to the city's homeless and hungry. For those in need, the feast was more than a meal.
Hours before the crowd rolls in, the meal was in the works. Thanksgiving staples were preparing to hit hundreds of plates. The yams, sunk into a pot of boiling water. The turkey, fresh out the oven, was ready to be carved.
Just as it has been for more than 20 years, like clock work, at Noon, the Thanksgiving feast was served. But there's one thing that isn't so constant at the Poverello House. The people who go there to enjoy the turkey and the rimmings.
Poverello House operations director Kathryn Weakland says, "Definitely the people change. Some stay the same, the same clients are here year after year and day after day."
There are some familiar faces, but many are strangers. Still, everyone here shares something.
"We're all in the same boat you might say. We're all down and out at the present time, but we all got our heads above water. We're still looking to better ourselves," says Dennis Williams who is out of work and homeless.
"It's a special day. We want to be able to give back to our clients and make them feel at home even though they're not at home," says Weakland.
The people on the receiving end of that generosity were just as full of gratitude, as they were after clearing their plates.
Douglas Jiminez says,"I thank everybody here for making the food for everybody. I'm thankful for that, and our lives and that God made us."
There's something else at the house that seems to stay the same. The sense of belonging and hope it gives to people who have no where else to go.
"I'm thankful for everybody that comes in, they're god sent." "Anybody that comes through the door or comes through the gate is family," says Williams.
For those like Dennis Williams, sharing a Thanksgiving meal with strangers who turn into new found family, is reason enough to be thankful.
Now that Thanksgiving has just about wrapped up, the Poverello House and all of its volunteers will get ready to do the same thing on Christmas Day.
Officials say they've seen a significant increase in the number of people struggling to find their next meal. Five years ago, the shelter fed about 800 people daily. Today, they're feeding about 1,300.

Barbary Macaques
When crossing the Middle Atlas in Morocco, we had some fabulous hours, watching and photographing a troop of about 30 Barbary Macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in the cedar forest "Cèdre Gouraud" near Azrou. The animals were extremely confiding, being fed by local people and tourists stopping en route.
Barbary Macaque, the only Macaque living outside Asia, is restricted to some declining populations in Morocco and Algeria and is listed as "Endangered" by the IUCN 1. The Middle Atlas holds the largest and most important population 2 and a growing population of unknown origin inhabits the Rock of Gibraltar 3.
It was a joy to watch these peculiar animals in their natural environment and to observe their interactions. Still, the monkeys are allegedly being caught and sold as pets. At Jamaa el Fna, the huge central market place in Marrakech, we saw several young, chained Barbary Macaques which were shown to tourists for money.
The gallery got quite big, I know.. I just wasn't able to throw out more pictures of the selection.

Arkansas Governor Vetoes Fetal Heartbeat Bill
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: March 4, 2013
Beebe saying his reasons for issuing the veto should sound familiar.
Governor Mike Beebe says banning abortion after twelve weeks blatantly contradicts the U.S. constitution, so he issued his second veto in six days on abortion measures.
SB134 bans abortions once a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected, but allows exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother.
But like the 20-week abortion ban, which is now law in Arkansas, the 12-week ban pushes abortion limits much sooner than the 24-week viability standard set by Roe v Wade 40 years ago.
"Constitutional is constitutional. Honestly if you're asking the question is the court moving, is science moving, some have made the argument that if it is moving, 20 weeks comes closer to being acceptable to the court than 12 weeks," Beebe says. "I don't know. I know right now, under the current state of the law the bill is unconstitutional."
Rapert thinks his bill can withstand a constitutional challenge and plans to move forward with a veto override Tuesday.
"He didn't have to sign the bill," Rapert says. "He literally could have allowed the bill to become law without his signature. But for whatever reason the governor feels he needs to veto these prolife bills."
Beebe says he doesn't plan to suggest to anyone how to vote this time either.
"They got to do what they got to do, I didn't reach out last time," Beebe says.
Beebe's veto letter included the following section:
In short, because it would impose a ban on a woman's right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic abortion well before viability, Senate Bill 134 blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court. When I was sworn in as Governor I took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend both the Arkansas Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath seriously.
The adoption of blatantly unconstitutional laws can be very costly to the taxpayers of our State. It has been suggested that outside groups might represent the State for free in any litigation challenging the constitutionality of Senate Bill 134, but even if that were to happen, that would only lessen the State's own litigation costs. Lawsuits challenging unconstitutional laws also result in the losing party - in this case, the State - being ordered to pay the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the litigants who successfully challenge the law. Those costs and fees can be significant. In the last case in which the constitutionality of an Arkansas abortion statute was challenged, Little Rock Family Planning Services v. Jegley, the State was ordered to pay the prevailing plaintiffs and their attorneys nearly $119,000 for work in the trial court, and an additional $28,900 for work on the State's unsuccessful appeal. Those fee awards were entered in 1999, and litigation fees and costs have increased extensively since then. The taxpayers' exposure, should Senate Bill 134 become law, will likely be significantly greater.

Lane Departure and Lane Change Warning.
Driving with instinct: the BMW 3 Series Touring provides discreet support and active assistance to avoid dangerous situations. Radars and cameras monitor conditions and warn the driver of lane changes and vehicles coming too close.
At the rear of the vehicle the Lane Change Warning uses radar sensors to activate a warning symbol on the wing mirror if there is a vehicle currently in the driver's blind spot or if a vehicle is approaching quickly from the rear. As soon as drivers use the indicator to change lanes, they are warned in potentially dangerous situations by vibrations on the steering wheel and a symbol in the wing mirror that starts to blink.
The camera positioned at the front of the vehicle steers the Lane Departure Warning system. When travelling above 70 km/h, the system monitors road markings and their position versus the car as well as the edge of the road or lane. The system is activated whenever the vehicle leaves its current lane unintentionally and alerts the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate. Indicating deactivates this technology from BMW ConnectedDrive while the driver is turning off or changing lane.
The special equipment Lane Departure Warning includes an integrated camera-based collision warning. As soon as the system detects that the distance to the vehicle in front is too short, it warns the driver by means of a display on the instrument panel and an acoustic signal.
