Welcome to Asia Pacific Programs!
If you like to think out of the box, challenge yourself, and take roads less traveled by, join us now to travel to Asia Pacific! GEP2 offers signature LEAPs (Long-term Engineering Abroad Program) and s (Short-term Engineering Abroad Program) in mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. LEAPs and STEPs are specially designed to empower our undergraduates to become innovative and informed problem solvers in Asia Pacific - a geopolitically area that is of significant economic and diplomatic interests to the United States. Asia Pacific LEAPs and STEPs are partially sponsored by U.S. Department of State and the Partners of the Americas.
Why Asia Pacific?
Here are the 6 reasons why you want to take advantage of the amazing opportunity to take a LEAP (Long-term Engineering Abroad Program) or STEP (Short-term Engineering Abroad Program) to Asia Pacific.
- Safety
- Affordability
- No language requirement
- Premier engineering education
- Competitive career edge
- Immersive cultural experiences
Safety first & high support: Student safety is our first priority and we've undertaken several steps to improve safety. 1) We've secured amazing on-campus dorms so that our students can enjoy the most convenient and safe lodging. 2) The cohort model provides our students with a vital psychological support network while abroad. 3) Our programs are run by a program manager providing end-to-end support from teaching a pre-departure orientation class to traveling along with students to the destination. 4) The destinations we've hand-picked are incredibly safe for study abroad, such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo.
Affordability: Asia Pacific programs are affordable for our students, because students can pay less on food and lodging than they'd normally do in West Lafayette (WL). Based on program alumni's experiences, a semester in Shanghai or Hong Kong is typically cheaper than a semester in West Lafayette.
No language requirement: Students who cannot speak Chinese, Japanese, or Korean are welcome to take a LEAP or a STEP to Asia Pacific. There is no language requirement!!! Chinese is considered as one of the most-in-demand foreign languages in the business world, and the bonus point for China programs is that our students typically come back with quite authentic and useful local expressions that can go a long way toward making personal and professional contacts.
Premier engineering education in English: Our Asia Pacific partners are top-ranking engineering schools (e.g. SJTU, HKUST, Waseda). Core engineering courses are offered in English by professors respected world-wide, which means our students can take a semester load of engineering core courses while studying abroad and still graduate on time!
Competitive career edge: Employers want globally-minded engineers. Our participants will gain a substantial competitive edge with several industrial visits and by immersing themselves in Asia Pacific to 1) build up their professional networks home and abroad, 2) feel the pulse of market trends in the most vital U.S. trade partners, and 3) get in touch with different styles of problem-solving philosophies and practices.
Immersive cultural and language experience: Students will experience authentic Asian cultures by traveling around with friends to see engineering wonders around the region. Students will have exclusive access to fun cultural field trips (cooking, martial art, calligraphy, kite day, join a local varsity team to play American football).
LEAPs to Asia Pacific
"Studying abroad in Shanghai, China was truly transformative. I am proud to say that the program impacted me in every aspect of my life – from my academic career to my personal and career goals. I gained an intensely human sense of the world and the impact of different cultures, and I believe all these experiences helped me become a more creative, confident, and globally-focused engineer."
-- Brendan Michaelsen, ME, 2015 Shanghai program alumnus & Class CEO

Tucked into the Crowsnest Pass and backing onto backyards in the town of Blairmore, Pass Powderkeg (PPK) quietly goes about its business. The micro-resort has been the same since 1938; untouched, unspoiled and underestimated by so many skiers. This is the time to slow down, pull off the highway and find out why it should be on your #BucketlistAB.
So, I have to confess. Just like so many others, I've passed Pass Powderkeg many times. In the summer I'd look at the trails cut into the forest and say, "I really need to check this place out." In the winter, somehow excuses kept the car on Highway 3. This time I stopped. And, I was overwhelmed by the community, the resort, the snow and yes, the black runs!
Interestingly, the historic lodge is located at mid-mountain. Two T-bars meet there; one to unload the skiers from the lower runs that really do end curbside in Blairmore. The other takes skiers and riders to the ridge to explore at least a dozen more runs. There are a few green runs, but the majority are blue with some new black runs recently etched into the slope. I thought for sure the runs would be casually pitched but even the blue like Xpresso and Chinook are surprisingly steep. Short, yes, but sweet.

Well it's that time of year for us to breaking out the old holiday traditions …. this year is the beginning of some new holiday traditions in our home. One is that we are trading in the sledding down at the levee/river for walks on St Armand's Circle – Florida …. we didn't have an opportunity to get all bundled up and go sledding in the REAL snow so we made due with the Bradenton Holiday festival (where they had a line for you to wait in, to sled down a little snow hill – very cool) ! Santa is always a big tradition as well as Christmas lights, cookies and milk!!
Christmas is our favorite time of year, the cheer, the lights, the happiness, the music, the feelings ….. it's a beautiful time of year !!
Our daughter brought home a paper today (kindergarten) and here's what it read: A "Sense" Sational Christmas Christmas looks like shimmering lights on the Christmas tree. Christmas feels like Santa's beard. Christmas smells like gingerbread cookies Christmas tastes like candy canes. Christmas sounds like Rudolph's bell. Just thought this was beautiful, so simple, and so true!
I am wanting to hear some of your Holiday traditions. Would they be much like mine as to see the family smiling and the kids jumping for joy on Christmas morning?
A few of our traditions are but definitely not limited to (plus many more are being formed with our new move to Florida, and NOW being surrounded by our family)
- We ALWAYS try to find the "Real" Santa ….. non of those Santa's helpers 🙂
- Baking and Leaving cookies for Santa …..
- Opening New Pj's on Christmas Eve ….
- Video Taping the Night before Christmas by the Tree about the year and what we want for Christmas ….
- NEW this Year – We've hung a stocking outside of our door, and the elves have been leaving us gifts!
- Every Friday is Family FUN night in our home, so for the entire month of Dec, we try to find Holiday/Christmas things to do!
- We all Wear Santa and/or Elf hats during the month of December!
- We wrap our gifts in different wrapping paper than the big man, he always brings his the "Special Paper" with special tags!
We've also started some business holiday traditions – we sent out gift cards to some, and Christmas cards to a lot of clients this year!
And there are so many more ….. BUT I want to hear about yours now !! I love to share with others and hear from others !! So please share with me, and share with your friends, so they can share too!! We just love the holidays … and we wish you the most Merry Christmas EVER this 2010 Year … Your more than welcome to share pictures and videos too!

Join best-selling author and NPR contributor, David Sedaris for an evening featuring all-new stories, an audience Q&A, and a book signing. With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Mr. Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he
slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. David Sedaris returns to the road following the release of his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious
collection, Calypso. Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny-it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been
sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. If you love David Sedaris's
cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting into at his live readings. You'd be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a uniquely personal narrative that will keep you laughing throughout the
evening. Don't miss this event!

Kurssiarkisto 2018 Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir: Full Drop Into the Body
This workshop offers an introduction to sensation and state-oriented bodywork. It aims to guide participants towards a so-called Full Drop into the body, in search of the potential for an increased presence on stage. In the greater context, this workshop offers an alternative way of approaching the body itself, and those who work with it on a professional level, and creates a space for non manipulated movement research.
A part of this research is to release the professional dancer's "outside eye" that observes, judges and separates the dancer from the inner experience, and to practice connecting to and getting conscious of that which goes on within beyond the conditioned body memory. This process is healing, as well as an introduction to intensified and new sensorial physical experiences. During this process of unwinding, both psychological and physiological barriers of resistance can be met. While the practice itself is gentle, the decision to let go of control, and thereby give into the body and allow it to move you versus you moving it, is profound.
This process simultaneously questions older concepts of how we relate to our professional body and methods of disciplining and dominating that body in order to gain control over it and have it perform.

Use our exclusive School Matcher.
Instantly get matched with EMT Paramedic programs now
"How to become an EMT-Paramedic in California" is a challenging and rewarding question to ask. EMT-paramedic programs in California provide some of the highest medical standards of any in the country. To become a fully-fledged paramedic in the state, you will have to take an approved course and apply for certification within two years after that completion. Approved training programs in California have historically tended to be longer than those in other states thanks to the high standards of conduct and professionalism required. However, the growing need for paramedics -- expected to see a 33% to 40% growth in California until 2020 -- has shortened some programs.
Most approved California EMT programs will be offered at a community college or satellite of the University of California system. During such a program, a candidate will learn life-saving medical skills, including CPR. As in most other states, EMTs are considered emergency first responders and will be expected to retain CPR skills and certification alongside their EMT certification. To be eligible for a paramedic license, candidates will complete over 1,100 hours of field training in hospital and clinical training and a field internship. At this point, they become eligible to take the NREMT California written and practical examinations, which must be completed with high marks.
The California EMT Authority uses a nationwide exam provided by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, so you will be able to study for it even if you are not a California resident at the time you seek your license. In-state EMTs will pay $250 to become licensed; out-of-state licensees will pay a slightly higher fee. Candidates must pass all of California's licensing tests and standards after no more than three retries. Once they obtain licensure, they become eligible to serve as a paramedic in the state of California. In California, EMTs and ambulance drivers are considered to be separate occupational categories that do not overlap.
In California, paramedics receive a rate of compensation higher than their counterparts in most other states. The median income for an EMT in California is $31,000. Ambulance drivers, who typically serve while handling their licensure requirements, make a mean salary of about $26,000. Starting salary for a California paramedic tends to be close to the median salary. In order to advance to higher levels of compensation, the paramedic will have to gain tenure by maintaining their licensure and professional standards. Strict continuing education requirements are involved. EMTs who serve in major metropolitan areas may also receive higher pay and a bonus on the basis of calls responded to.

Exclusive Q&A with Jim Butcher
The newest graphic novel from the Dresden Files series, "Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: War Cry" is available now. The prolific author talks to about working in a visual medium, cosplay, and what we can expect for the future of the series.
Q1: Did the artist nail the images of your characters that you had in your head? Was it fun to be part of that creative process?
Jim Butcher: I'm a writer. In my head, the characters' actual appearance tends to be a little amorphous--to me, it's their internal characteristics that I see most sharply and completely. That said, I love seeing visual representations of my characters. Whether its professional art or fan art, it never stops being a thrill to see my characters represented.
I've had a good time being a part of the process at Dynamite. It gives me a chance to tell different kinds of stories, with a much different emphasis. And besides, it's a freaking comic book! How could that not be fun to help make?
Q2: What do you think of fans cosplaying your characters?
JB: I love it! Seeing fans cosplay your characters is how you know you've made it. :) My only problem is that I just don't look like any of the characters from the Dresden Files, so I can't cosplay them. But everyone else gets to have fun, and that's the important thing.
Q3: What can you tell us about Harry's fate towards the end of the series? What kinds of challenges should we look forward to?
JB: I can tell you that I'm not going to tell you that. Duh.
The next book, Peace Talks, is gonna be all about a large peace summit in Chicago between all the supernatural powers. I'm sure that everyone will settle down and have a nice reasonable talk, and then a light supper, and then some friendly social time in which they'll all sing together and get along just fine, and in no way find a way to blame Harry Dresden for all of their troubles.
Q4: Are there any clues you can give us about what Mab's true intentions are for Harry?
Well, I can tell you that Mab never lies outright. She'll lie by omission, lie by telling you true things that mislead you, lie by allowing others to misinform you, lie by allowing you to leap to assumptions that are entirely wrong, but she never lies outright. Everything she's told Harry that she wants from him is true. But you can be fairly sure that she hasn't told Harry everything.
Q5: Do you ever get sick of writing in the Dresden universe? Are you excited for The Cinder Spires series?
JB: I do get sick of that guy at times, but that's why I write other projects. Once I've gotten to spend some time in another world, going on other adventures, I'm always happy to get back in the saddle with Dresden. The Cinder Spires is already the longest book I've ever written, and I'm not quite done yet. I'm very excited to be building a new world and putting together a new set of stories which are tailored for it.

Time for Portia Lawrie's The Refashioners 2018 challenge! This year we had to find a look/garment we loved and produce a version of it, by refashioning unloved/unworn items.
I came across this beauty from Save the Queen! I love the stark black/white/red colour combo, the sporty proportions, and the gorgeous playful penguin print.
So, off to the thrift store… I knew it wouldn't be easy to find the right print with enough fabric to make me a swingy shift dress shape – I was really hoping to find a maxi dress for extra yardage, but no luck.
Finally, I found a great dress with a strong graphic black/white print and it looked hardly worn. Also picked up a red shirt to cut the sleeves from.
I made the sleeves from the red shirt sleeves and the bottom of a black dress I'd previously chopped into tunic length. The trim was thrifted by a friend and gifted to me a while ago.

Brussels, Aug 26 : A knife-wielding man was shot dead on Friday after wounding a soldier in the centre of Brussels, in what Belgian authorities called a "terrorist attack".
The man, who prosecutors said yelled "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest) during the assault, was shot by soldiers on a street in the city which has been on high alert since terrorist attacks on its metro and airport last year.
"We believe that it is a terrorist attack," said a prosecutors' office spokeswoman, who added the attacker "is dead."
Belgian media reported that the assailant was of Somali origin and about 30 years old.
The same evening, in London two police officers were slightly injured arresting a man with a large knife outside Buckingham Palace but there were no immediate indications of a terror link.
The incidents come after attacks claimed by the Islamic State group in Spain last week killed 15 people and a knifeman's stabbing spree in Finland left two dead and eight wounded.
One of the two soldiers targeted in Brussels was "slightly" wounded, according to federal prosecutors, who have opened a terror probe of the attack.
"All our support for our military," tweeted Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel. "Our security services remain attentive, we are monitoring the situation closely with the Crisis Center," he added.
City mayor Philippe Close told reporters the incident was the work of a "lone individual".
"I heard yelling and straight away two shots," a witness named Yohan told AFP, who did not wish to give his surname.
As he approached, he said he saw "a soldier bleeding from his hand and a man on the ground," who had a beard and was wearing a hood.
The attack took place shortly after 8:00 pm (18:00 GMT) on a boulevard in the centre of Brussels, near the Grand Place central square, one of the "sensitive" areas of the capital where armed soldiers patrol because of the terrorist threat in Belgium.

How to Do a Reverse Phone Check
Omkar Phatak
Jan 23, 2019
If you are looking for information on reverse phone lookup facility offered by websites, this will be a helpful read. Let us understand how to run a lookup and to know the identity of unknown callers.
It's difficult to imagine a life without telephones and cell phones today. Last two decades have seen an explosion of developments in telecommunication. Staying in touch with anybody, anywhere was never so easy.
However, this traceability has a flip side to it. You can be bugged by unknown callers who get hold of your number. Prank calls can be a real nuisance to deal with. Fortunately there are free reverse phone lookup services made available online, that can help you trace the owners of these phone numbers.
The Internet has made our life easier and thanks to certain sites online, you can do your own detective work and easily find out the names of unknown callers from their phone numbers.
The Internet is an ocean of information and you can have the right information if you know where to look for. Google search engine has made it easier for us to locate exactly what we want.
About Reverse Phone Checks
While free reverse cell phone lookup is a myth, reverse phone lookup facility is indeed available for free. Let us see how reverse phone number check works for you.
Telephone directories hold an alphabetical list of landline phone owners in an area with a corresponding list of phone numbers. Reverse phone lookup directories hold data that is classified other way round. It has a database of numbers assigned with names. Reverse phone lookup sites host these databases on their web servers.
These databases are searched for a particular number query and the matching result is displayed on the website. The database has a search engine which does the job of looking for numbers and finding the associated names.
The database also holds information about the location or address of the phone owner. So these sites offer reverse phone lookup with name and address.
How to Use the Service?
Let us see how to find a phone number by name. Using a free reverse phone number directory, made available on websites, is quite simple and straightforward. You can easily locate them using a search engine. Google for sites that offer free reverse phone lookup service.
You will get a number of links to websites that offer this online service. Click on any of the links and the web page will open up in front of you. It will have a search box, where you will have to enter the phone number you are trying to trace.
You will need to enter the country and state code, followed by the actual phone number. There may be separate boxes for each part of the phone number. Once you finish entering, just click on search button provided next to the search box.
Your query will be forwarded to the server and matching name and address, will be displayed on a new page. In case the user of the landline number has chosen not to list his number with a telephone company, only the address will be displayed. It may take quite a lot of time for the address to be displayed as a vast database needs to be searched.
If you are lucky and the number has been listed, you will have the name in a matter of few seconds.
Using this facility, you can trace any landline phone number in the United States of America. Similar services are offered by some sites for European countries. Tracing prank callers was never so easy before.

Cilantro Black Bean Burger are simple to make, good for you, and delicious! You'll enjoy this recipe for Cilantro Black Bean Burger, it's hearty and filling, even for the most ardent meat eater!
I know you probably think I'm morphing into a healthy food blogger with this Cilantro Black Bean Burger and some of my recent posts. I assure you that's not the case. My most favorite thing in the world to eat is Mac n Cheese. To prove it, I've previously shared 3 Ingredient Mac n Cheese, Crawfish Mac n Cheese, Butternut Squash Mac n Cheese, Muenster Mac n Cheese, and even a Quinoa Mac n Cheese on this site.
Then there's my Pound Cake series. Pound Cakes are my absolute favorite thing to cook. I think there's over 20 pound cake recipes that I've tested so far with several more in the works.
So, you see, I'm not a healthy food blogger, but I have determined as I get older than I can't eat Mac n Cheese for breakfast and a huge piece of cake for lunch. I'm trying to balance my food sins with healthier choices.
Cilantro Black Bean Burger
I started eating pre-made black bean veggie burgers when I was training for my first half marathon. I was trying to fill up, not out. Trust me, when you're running that many miles, you're hungry and tired all the time and you want to eat all the time. It actually is possible to gain weight if you don't watch what you eat.
So I fell in love with black bean veggie burgers, but not the sodium that's packed into some of the brands. Plus, it's always cheaper to make from scratch. If you like this Cilantro Black Bean Burger recipe too, check out my other version of a Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burger.

- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed
- 2 tablespoon red onion diced
- 1/4 cup corn fresh, canned, or frozen
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs whole wheat or gluten free, panko crumbs will work as well
- 1 egg
- Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
- In a food processor, process the jalapeno, onion, and garlic until fine.
- Add 1 cup beans, cilantro, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Process into a smooth consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Add in the other 1 cup black beans, egg, bread crumbs, and corn.

Beryl is a window and composition manager. It has been created as a fork of compiz. Archlinux currently only provides Beryl SVN versions. When the first stable Beryl release 0.2 is released, it will be available as well. Beryl 0.2 will be released in February 2007, according to the current Beryl Roadmap.
- 1 Installing Beryl
- 2 Preparing Xorg for beryl
- 3 Starting Beryl
- 4 Configuring Beryl
- 5 Troubleshooting
- 5.1 nvidia beta drivers and black windows
- 5.2 Beryl not starting in KDE
- 5.4 Window Decorations Disappear
- 5.5 No Window Decorations with Beryl and Emerald running
- 5.6 Firefox/Swiftfox Crashing
- 6 Tips/Tricks
Installing Beryl
From binary packages
There are binary packages available in the unstable repository. Make sure the unstable repository is enabled in your pacman configuration and your system is up to date. Install beryl using one of the commands
# pacman -Sy beryl-svn
# pacman -Sy beryl-svn-kde
# pacman -Sy beryl-svn-gnome
This will install all necessary packages. There are some nice extra plugins:
# pacman -Sy beryl-svn-extras
From source
PKGBUILDs for the components can be found in Archlinux CVS:
- beryl-core-svn (Beryl main program)
- beryl-manager-svn (Beryl management dockapp)
- beryl-settings-bindings-svn (Beryl settings python bindings)
- beryl-settings-svn (Beryl settings manager)
- beryl-settings-simple-svn (Simple Beryl settings manager)
- beryl-settings-tool-svn (Command line tool to manipulate beryl settings)
- beryl-plugins-svn (Beryl effect plugins)
- beryl-plugins-extra-svn (Beryl effect plugins)
- beryl-plugins-vidcap-svn (Beryl video capture plugin)
- emerald-svn (Beryl window decorator)
- emerald-themes-svn (Themes for window decoration)
- aquamarine-svn (KDE window decorator, uses kwin themes)
- heliodor-svn (GNOME window decorator, uses metacity themes)
To build these packages, use versionpkg (pacman -S versionpkg with [community] repository enabled in /etc/pacman.conf), it will check out the latest svn release automatically.
Preparing Xorg for beryl
Beryl has two rendering paths. The "Texture from Pixmap" path runs faster but doesn't work on all hardware yet. The "Copy" path works an almost any hardware, but uses more CPU and RAM.
Using "Texture from Pixmap" rendering
The GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension is needed for this rendering path. This extension is currently provided by Xorg if you either use the 9xxx nvidia drivers or the AIGLX extension. It is also provided by Xgl.
This rendering path is used by default if possible. You can force it by setting Advanced Beryl options -> Rendering path -> Texture from Pixmap in beryl-manager or starting beryl --use-tfp.
Using nvidia drivers
If you have a nvidia, install the latest nvidia drivers. See How to install NVIDIA driver if you still don't use it. They support the long awaited "GLX_Texture_From_Pixmap" extension. However, XGL is still much faster than AIGLX.
Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Note: There is an information on the net which states the Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" should be added to Screen section on your xorg.conf file. Try this if you are getting random crashes.
Section "Module" [...] Load "glx" [...] EndSection [...] Section "Device" Driver "nvidia" [...] Option "TripleBuffer" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" EndSection [...] Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
Using open source drivers and AIGLX
AIGLX currently works with the open source Intel and Radeon drivers, and maybe others. Add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to enable AIGLX:
Section "Module" [...] Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection [...] Section "Device" [...] Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "DRI" "true" EndSection [...] Section "ServerLayout" [...] Option "AIGLX" "true" EndSection [...] Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
If your xorg driver doesn't support AIGLX, then the effects won't work.
Using XGL
Refer to this wiki entry for installing Xgl.
Using "copy" rendering
To use this rendering path, your graphics driver has to support 3D acceleration, and the Composite extension, and they have to play well together. This is true for older nvidia drivers, but unfortunately not for ATI's fglrx driver.
This rendering path is used by default if texture from pixmap is not available. You can force it by setting Advanced Beryl options -> Rendering path -> Copy in beryl-manager or starting beryl --use-copy.
Starting Beryl
Just try it
If you simply want to try beryl, you can start
$ beryl-manager
This will start the beryl manager and launch beryl. It works with KDE, GNOME and XFCE, but fails with many standalone window managers.
XFCE Desktop
You can run xfce4 with startxfce4 or xfce-session and gdm (probably kdm too) by modifying some files. You can also use startx, skip the first file below in that case.
First edit /etc/X11/session/xfce4-svn.desktop (this is the file for svn version. For xfce 4.2 it should probably be xfce4.desktop):
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=~/.xsession TryExec=/opt/xfce4/bin/startxfce4 Name=XFCE4-svn
Next edit ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh # # ~/.xinitrc # # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here) # . /etc/profile . $HOME/.bashrc xrdb $HOME/.Xresources # start beryl and beryl-manager beryl-manager & emerald & startxfce4
And finally delete your previous sessions stored by xfce4:
rm -r .cache/sessions/*
NOTE:If you were modifying these files while running xfce4 do not save your session on exit.
KDE Desktop
Anything in the .kde/Autostart folder will be executed on login
Simply make a link to "beryl-manager" in this location
ln -s /usr/bin/beryl-manager /home/youruser/.kde/Autostart/beryl-manager
And that's it! Log in and beryl will start automatically.
GNOME Desktop
The simplest way is to add "beryl-xgl" to the applications that start with your session. You can do this by going to:
[Desktop] -> [Preferences] -> [Sessions] -> [Startup Programs]
Adding "beryl-manager" to the list might be a good idea too so you can switch back to Metacity if need be.
No Desktop, Beryl as window manager only
This is an example ~/.xinitrc to create a "lightweight" Beryl environment. It is rather unconfortable unless you add a panel and maybe other management applications.
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi emerald & beryl-manager & # Start other applications here # # Example: set wallpaper + open a terminal # # feh --bg-scale ~/Wallpapers/wallpaper.jpg & # urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey80 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd & # Now start something you need all the time, like a panel exec gnome-panel
Note: the .xinitrc that was here before forced beryl to start twice (since beryl-manager starts beryl too), which led to X closing. I'm not sure if we can just do exec beryl-manager instead of opening something else like I do.
Configuring Beryl
- beryl (WM and compositor): Just run beryl-settings or select Beryl Settings Manager from the beryl manager dockapp.
- emerald (window decorator): run emerald-theme-manager or select Emerald Theme Manager from the beryl manager dockapp.
- aquamarine/heliodor (KDE/GNOME window decorator): Check the usual KDE or GNOME theme settings, aquamarine/heliodor will use those automatically.
Running beryl-manager will give you more control on beryl. With that nice tray icon you can get back to metacity/kwin, launch the beryl settings or the theme manager, etc.
You can migrate compiz-quinn's settings to beryl by copying ~/.compiz/csm_settings to ~/.beryl/settings
nvidia beta drivers and black windows
This is saddly the only thing preventing me form using beryl... When windows are maximinsed of big enough, they get black. Getting them smaller may get their content back. It seems that its a bug in the nvidia beta drivers.
See the Beryl's bug tracker #201 (unfortunately, due to a hard drive crash, all beryl bug reports were lost):
This is an nVidia problem, from nVidia (James Jones) on nvnews http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77248&highlight=black+windows: "This is a shortcoming of the current implementation of GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in the drivers. When video RAM has been exhausted, the driver does not behave well (you get blank windows). TurboCache? memory is currently cannot be used with GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, so these problems will be especially noticeable on these parts. We're working on improving these cases."
Beryl not starting in KDE
If you are having problems starting or running Beryl under KDE try resetting KDE's settings. You can do this by removing the ~/.kde directory and ~/.kderc file. Note that you should backup your important data like Kopete, Kmail, Amarok configuration.
You should read this if you have problems with ATI.
Uninstalling fglrx
Don't forget that:
- xf86-video-ati are the ATI open source drivers
- ati-fglrx(-beyond, ...) are the proprietary ones wich won't work with Beryl
- You have to replace "fglrx" by "radeon" in BOTH the xorg.conf and rc.conf files
- You have to uninstall ati-fglrx(-beyond, ...), ati-fglrx-utils and then install libgl-dri to get everything to work properly. As Veek said on this post :
Attention, anyone who was previously using the fglrx drivers: Both the ati-fglrx-utils package and the libgl-dri package provide a version of the openGL shared library /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (your version may be different). However the one supplied by the Mesa package implements things not implemented by the one in ATI's package. That's why it can be exceedingly confusing trying to figure out why things aren't working even though you apparently have the necessary libraries. The solution is to install libgl-dri and everything shoud work as outlined in spack's guide.
This is my understanding of the issue, just wanted to clarify for anyone else that was confused.
- Uninstalling commands:
pacman -Rd ati-fglrx(-beyond,...) ati-fglrx-utils pacman -S libgl-dri xf86-video-ati
- I had some black screen troubles when trying to launch KDE. Sometimes KDE would also crash. It is fixed when adding the next line to the Device section of the xorg.conf :
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
- After this KDE would launch but a bit slowly and glxgears wouldn't launch but complaining :
*********************************WARN_ONCE******** ************************* File radeon_mm.c function radeon_mm_alloc line 216 Ran out of GART memory! Please consider adjusting GARTSize option. ************************************************** *************************
Fixed when you add the following line to the device section of your xorg.conf (seen on this post) :
Option "GARTSize" "64"
So everything works fine here on my ATI Radeon Mobility 9600, Beryl and KDE. Here is my xorg.conf
Desktop clipping/drawing error on Radeon 7500
Users of Radeon 7500 graphics cards may experience a "clipping" effect where the deskop is limited to 1024x768 resolution. Screen areas outside this box are not drawn correctly, and larger windows lack decorations etc.
The fix for this is to download & build driconf from aur. Then set up your graphics card as you wish. The program creates a file called .driconf in yout home directory.
Open this file, and change the line
<option name="allow_large_textures" value="X" />
where "X" equals the current value there, and change it to
<option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" />
- DOESN'T WORK ON MY IBM R40 (1400*1050), anyone help?
I fixed it by adding "Option "AGPSize" "32" in xorg.conf in card section. The whole part is like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI|Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP)" Driver "ati" VendorName "All" BoardName "All" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" Option "DRI" "true" Option "AGPSize" "32"
Black screen when starting X with radeon open source drivers on ATI X700
You have to add this option to the "Device" section of the xorg.conf
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,NONE"
This will solve the problem
Window Decorations Disappear
If you are using KDE, open: KDE Control Center -> Desktop -> Behavior and check "Show Icons on desktop" option. (Does not always work)
No Window Decorations with Beryl and Emerald running
Check that XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 is not present in your environment. ('env | grep XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS') - if it is remove all traces from initialisation scripts (usual suspects: /etc/profile.d/flash.sh and ~/.bashrc), restart Xorg and try again
Firefox/Swiftfox Crashing
If you are experiencing crashing of Firefox or Swiftfox when viewing sites that use Flash, you can try this fix.
Open up /usr/bin/firefox or /usr/bin/swiftfox, and add "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" before EOF (End of file), on its own line. Save and restart the browser.
Note: Adding this line to a initialization script (such as .bashrc or in /etc/profile.d/) may result in emerald being unable to display window decorations.
Cairo Clock
Cairo-Clock is a elegant looking analog clock, that works with Beryl. To install it grab it from the AUR here. Currently cairo-clock doesn't work properly with AIGLX and the Nvidia GLX_Texture_From_Pixmap extension, but I have found a fix to this. Launch cairo-clock with the following command,
cairo-clock -w 127 -g 127 -s
and that should fix it right up, so it displays properly.Check out the project page for more details and screenshots here
Terminal with true transparency
Gnome-terminal does true transparency with Beryl running, but some people prefer a more light weight terminal. Install rxvt-unicode, and launch it with this command:
urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/cccc -fg white

We have finally implemented a cash shop. Go have a look at it. All proceeds go back to the server itself. I would also like to say thank you ahead of time!!
Everyone knows that Billy made a modification to the enderchest where they have 6 rows of inventory space. Due to unforseen circumstances within staff, we are having issues with losing enderchest items. To prevent further damage to player's items we have decided to revert back to the vanilla enderchest of 3 rows.
We are giving everyone 7 days to make sure the bottom 3 rows are empty so we no one will lose anything in this transition. If you want to play it safe, it is recommended to empty your entire enderchest until the change is reverted.
The revert will happen on August 16, 2019 at 10:00 PM Central USA time whether you have cleared your enderchest or not.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Thank you EPS your thoughts and opinions will be taken into consideration for any and all future plans.
It has been brought up several times in the past month if we would turn PvP back on server wide. So here we are revaluating it again. It was turned off a few months ago because that is what the majority agreed on.
More details on having PvP:
There are ups and downs to having PvP.
We will not be turning keepinventory on due to the fact that it removes part of the survival aspect of the game. If you don't want to lose exp or drop your entire Inventory you would just toggle your personal PvP just like the tptoggle.
There is also the option to have a second wilderness world again (which uses server resources) and have that PvP only.
Or do we leave things like they are and we keep PvP off server wide.
This is not going in effect right away. We know not everyone is on everyday and before we make any changes we would like the community as a whole to come upon an agreement.
We want everyone to have input in this so please let us know your thoughts, opinions, emotions, or desires.
Please take a look at the poll so i can get a more acurate count on what we will be doing.
~~Pl3x Staff~~
