Tuesday, July 3
I've Been Tagged. Twice.
The lovely Shn of Mishmash would like me to share 7 random things about myself:
1. I've never eaten a Twinkie or a Devil Dog. Can I still call myself American?
2. I've been a vegetarian for almost 20 years. Not because of political or religious reasons. Because of bad chicken.
3. My first job was working at a sandwich shop. My manager almost fired for making the sandwiches "too big." He obviously was not Italian.
4. I have an abnormal fear of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz. To this day, I cannot watch it because of her. Seriously.
5. I love the NFL. I'm still not sure what a"corner" does, but I do know that Tom Brady of the Patriots is one fine quarterback.
6. Fathers do know best. My father first met my husband, Jeff, when Jeff and I were in the 9th grade together. My dad wanted me to go to my freshman semi-formal dance with Jeff, which I thought was weird. (I mean, who would go with a boy that their Dad hooked them up with?) Jeff and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. OK, Dad, you were right.
7. Jeff and I have moved seven times in 12 years. We're in San Diego now. What's not to love about it? It was ranked #2 best weather in the world after The Canary Islands. Not too shabby. Plus, I don't think The Canary Islands have an NFL team.
The delightful Kate of Kate in the Kitchen has tagged me for another meme.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was in graduate school at Brown University.
Five snacks you enjoy:
Frozen bananas with peanut butter
Popcorn with Splenda and cinnamon
Hummus and carrots
Granny Smith apples and roasted almonds
Protein shakes
Five songs you know all the lyrics to:
None. I'm hopeless.
Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
Spend a week in the Canary Islands, just to see what number 1 is like.
Buy a set of Wusthof knives.
Buy a winery for my Dad. It might even convince him to retire.
Invent a computer that would never crash, or lose my files, or be mean to me.
Design high heels that don't hurt. Plus, I'd make many more millions that way.
Five bad habits:
Snapping my gum. Yup, I'm one of those annoying gum snappers.
Taking waaay too many pictures to end up with just a couple for my posts.
Changing my -er's to -a's and my -a's to -er's at the end of words, like food blogga, get the idear?
Feeling weird about imposing on people by tagging them for memes (which I'm trying to overcome today).
Sometimes rooting for both teams in football. I just like a good game.
Five things you like doing:
Working out with my husband. One of these days I'm going to bench press as much as he does. OK, I'll never bench press as much as he does, but a girl's gotta have goals.
Going home to Rhode Island in the fall. The foliage, the weather, the apple-picking -- it doesn't get better than that.
Eating the crust off of pizza (including Jeff's pieces). Everybody knows that's the best part. This might actually be a bad habit, depending on who you ask.
Going to the San Diego Zoo; it's amazing.
Reading The New Yorker
Five things you would never wear again:
Shoulder pads - I just do more lateral raises....
Blue eyeliner
A pink sweat suit that said LEE in big letters across the front of the sweatshirt. In 7th grade I wore it one time and was told, "you look like you fell into a pool of Pepto-Bismal." I never wore it again.
A t-shirt that said, "You Toucha This Shirt, I Breaka You Face." Yes, I had one, as did every other Italian adolescent in RI in the '80s. (Wait, I'm mistaken; Jeff just said that he didn't have one.)
Leopard print anything. Only Adrianna from The Soprano's could pull it off.
Five favorite toys:
Atari (I was the undisputed Pac-Man champion until an untimely left thumb injury ended my career)
Jigsaw puzzles, the bigger the better
Lite-Brite (I thought I was Andy Warhol)
Slinky - kept me occupied for hours
I'm always hesitant about tagging others, but if you've got the time and interest, then feel free to play along. Since I'm supposed to tag five people for each, here are 10. You can select one or both memes to which you'd like to respond, then tag five more bloggers. I tag the following people:
Jeanne of Cook Sister!
Abby of Confabulation in the Kitchen
T. W. of Culinary Types
Karen of Family Style Food
Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups
Nicole of Pinch My Salt
Deborah of Play With Food
Valentina from Sweet Temptations
Bazu of Where's the Revolution?
Meeta of What's for Lunch Honey?
Oh, and coming soon to a Food Blogga near you... Lobsta!
Guess how many pounds!

That was fun, Susan! That monster lobster, however, is downright scary. I had no idea that they come in such sizes?!?!
- July 3, 2007 at 6:44 AM
Hey Susan, thanks for sharing! I love reading these things on other blogs but usually flake out when I'm tagged! I'll try to come up with something this time :-)

- wheresmymind said...
I'm going to have to lean towards you being a commie given that you've never had a twinkie!! j/k...maybe ;)
- July 3, 2007 at 7:02 AM
- Abby said...
HOLY CRAP ... now that's a lobsta. :)
I thought you were Food Blogga because you're all hard-core West Coast gangsta rap. Actually, I have no clue if you can be West Coast and gangsta, but it sounds good.
And yay! It's my first meme ...
- July 3, 2007 at 8:15 AM
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
Thanks for letting us learn a little more about you! Very interesting ;-P...
Wow, that lobster is huge!

Susan that was a nice one! As long as I dont have to write Meme , I enjoy reading others' :)))))
Enjoy ur day!

- sra said...
Susan, enjoyed reading your memes. It's not a direct connection but your Fact #6 reminded me of this line from a movie, Grease, I think, where one girl tells another the only men you can truly believe in are your dad and grandad! LOL!
I love Scrabble too. That lobsta is huge, about 20 pounds?
- July 3, 2007 at 10:36 AM
- Tim Appleton (Applehead) said...
You make me laugh! Do you eat the lobstas?
- July 3, 2007 at 11:22 AM
ahhh haha, that lobsta is 7 lbs is my guess.
oy, why did us ri-landers have such terrible tshirts. i had one that i wore everyday like it was my uniform that said in a shiny abnoxious press-on 'Tin Grins are In!' - and of course i had a mouth full of metal. no wonder feicia abercrombie picked on mee..... :) (GRINZ)
- July 3, 2007 at 1:01 PM
- Deborah Dowd said...
Okay Susan, I'm it! I have already participated in the things about me so I will post to the second meme- it will really take some thinking!
Have a great Independence Day!
- July 3, 2007 at 1:34 PM
- cindy said...
don't eat the lobsta! he's gotten this far! i think he's a mutant lobster!
- July 3, 2007 at 3:55 PM
Hey, you don't need to be a millionaire to visit the Canary Islands. I've lived here for 15 years and I haven't got any money! :)
Besides, we have really good chicken.
- July 3, 2007 at 5:27 PM
I mean it, back awaaaaaay from the lobster and no one gets hurt.
But my guess is 6 pounds.
- July 3, 2007 at 5:27 PM
- T.W. Barritt at Culinary Types said...
I accept the challenge. One deep, dark Twinkie story coming up!
- July 3, 2007 at 6:37 PM
Hahaha, great answers!! I'm glad to have found another gum-snapper, I've never seen anyone do it other than me and my ma, and we always get weird looks when we go shopping and are chewing gum (hail the chorus of snaps!).
And HOLY MACKAREL - Where on earth did you find a lobster that freakin' huge?
- July 3, 2007 at 7:02 PM
- bazu said...
I loved reading your lists! If you're ever going to have a Twinkie, make it a deep-fried Twinkie- they sell them in downtown Las Vegas (in that covered walkway mall thingie whose name I'm forgetting), and they are more luscious than a Twinkie has any right to be. Two Americana birds with one stone: Twinkies and deep-fried!
Like you, the first time I went vegetarian was due to a bad experience with chicken. Not good times.
Thanks for the tag- I'll get to work!
- July 4, 2007 at 5:38 AM
- Brilynn said...
That is the biggest lobster I've ever seen in my life, I want one!
- July 4, 2007 at 7:18 AM
- Stella said...
thanks for tagging me Susan! You're too sweet:) It might take some time to write the memes but at least I got to know a wee bit more about my fav cook in S.D now!
p.s: This lobster is.....
HUMONGOUS!! no wait... TOO BIG FOR WORDS!!!!!
- July 4, 2007 at 7:48 AM
- Asha said...
Hi Susan,thanks for visiting Aroma.I just came back from the week long vacation!:)
Good to read to your MeMes! I did 5 MeMes in one last week! Phew!!;D
Guessing the Lobster. 20lbs?!
Happy 4th of July.
- July 4, 2007 at 8:01 AM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
Pille-We saw one even bigger!
Nicole-No worries. :)
Jeff-You'd be stunned at the number of "American" foods I've never tasted.
Abby-Nope, no gangsta going on with this girl. Just some Rhode Islandese. ;)
Rosa-Glad you enjoyed it!
Shn-I hear ya!
Sra-I love that movie. What a great comment. Thanks! Sorry, 20 is too high. The answer will be in the next post though. ;)
Tim-Of course not! Didn't you see #2--I've been a vegetarian for almost 20 years! I just like watching everybody else enjoy. :)
Aria-Bad shirts, bad hair, I know. ugh.
Deborah-Cool! :)
Cinderelly-You should've seen some of the other ones--even bigger!
Pam-Really? What are the chances? I'll definitely keep the Canary Islands on my list, but I think I'll forgo the chicken. ;)
Kate-I have never laughed so much at a comment. I am totally serious. :)
T.W.-I know you'll come up with some winners!
Ellie-It's from Newport, Rhode Island....
Bazu-I'll have to remember that one if I ever go to Vegas!
Brilynn-Check out the flights to Newport, RI!
Valentina-I'm your fave in S.D.? Aw, shucks, I'm blushing. :)
Asha-Welcome back! 5?! Wow, that's a lot, indeed! 20 pounds is high; I'll let you know in the next post though. Happy 4th to you too!

- MarkM said...
Susan - As a born in Rhode Island guy, who also claims New Hampsha as home, the sight of that lobstah brings back memories. (I live in WI now, so see them only rarely in their natural state!) I'd have to say that one pictured would be in the 12-14 pound range. Personally, I never liked lobster bigger than 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds (chix). Big ones like this have a tendency of being on the tough side. Was in NH 2 weeks ago, and managed to enjoy some steamahs and stuffed quahogs.
Have only just started reading your blog, but think it's great!
- July 4, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Lol, I don't know the all the lyrics to any songs either!
And oh my, that is quite a lobster. Can't wait to see what you made with it. :)

Enjoyed reading your memes! That's some lobster!! Its huge!!!
- July 5, 2007 at 6:36 AM
What a lobster! I have seen big ones at our markets here but never one that size...I wouldn't know what I would do if I was swimming and saw one like that! Yikes!
A cousin of mine went to Brown...she just graduated :) From her stories and pictures I would say she enjoyed every minute!
- July 5, 2007 at 7:42 AM
- Tim Appleton (Applehead) said...
I did read your #2, but the way you talked about it, I thought you might modify you diet one way or another
- July 5, 2007 at 7:56 AM
Such fun getting to know more about you.
That lobster is HUGE!
- July 5, 2007 at 10:22 AM
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
Susan,You've done a beautiful answering on both these memes!
I can tell you the Canary Islands are truely wonderful. # 1 I always have a hard time with. It seems unlikely anything can be #1 really. Still the Canarys are fabulous and I'd love to return!
As much as I'd like to do the memes, I'm experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment that make it just impossible. Maybe we can both get over our discomfort about the tagging expecially if you'll be ok if I must pass on this one.
- July 5, 2007 at 11:03 AM
The witch in The Wizard of Oz is actually only on screen for 12 minutes. That's how powerful her character was. And Margaret Hamilton, who played the witch, didn't let her own child see the movie for years, so you're in good company!

Great tidbits you shared. And that's one honkin' big lobster. Wow!
- July 5, 2007 at 6:41 PM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
Mark- Welcome! Quahogs? Now, that's Rhode Island! I'm so glad you like my blog; it's always wonderful to meet new readers, especially when they have a connection to RI!
Ari-Yeh! I'm not alone!
Jyothsna-Oh, good!
Joey-Never mind swimming; I was frightened of it just sitting on the kitchen counter. ;)
Tim-Nah, I just eat my tofu while they all rave about how amazing lobster tastes. ;)
Kristen-It was fun to write!
Tanna-No worries. :) Do you know you're the second commenter who has been to the Canary Islands?
Terry B-12 minutes?! 12 minutes has scarred me for life?! How many years of therapy do you think her daughter needed when she discovered who her mother was?
Cookie Baker Lynn-Glad you found them interesting!

You've never had a twinkie??? :):) How about a fried Twinkie?
- July 6, 2007 at 12:05 AM
In a related note, Laurel and Hardy shot a never-aired film of the skinny Stan Laurel beating the tar out of Oliver Hardy so Laurel could show it to his kids. It apparently really troubled them that their dad was always being beaten up and berated by that mean man.

Aw I loved reading your meme, it's so nice to know more about you. :) I miss the colors of the East Coast too, after a while the evergreens here get a little old. :) And hurray for big sandwiches! :D
- July 8, 2007 at 2:00 PM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
Sher-Nope, not even a fried one! Are we still friends? ;)
Terry B-That's terrible, isn't it? You're quick the film buff, Terry! I love film too (though I'm not as good as you on the trivia) and appreciate your comments!
Amy-The bigger the better! :)

Woo hoo - pink clothes in the 80s! LOL. Why did we think it was such a great idea?! I was more of an Atari Space Invaders girl myself - but PacMan was good too ;-) Thanks for the tag - I've done a couple of randonm things memes before but never the "5 things" one, so I'll do that one if you don't mind.

text: Friday, March 22, 2013 RACs to Conduct Manual Medical Review of Claims Subject to Therapy Cap CMS announced last evening that as of April 1, recovery audit contractors (RACs) will conduct manual medical review (MMR) of outpatient therapy services, including physical therapy, for outpatient therapy claims that exceed $3,700. In the additional guidance on MMR released last night, CMS said that RACS will complete 2 types of review for claims processed on or after April 1, 2013—prepayment review for states within the Recovery Audit Prepayment Review Demonstration, and immediate postpayment review for the remaining states. APTA is gathering additional information regarding this MMR policy to further inform members. In addition, APTA will meet with CMS officials and Congress to address concerns about the challenges this process will present for both providers and patients. For continued updates on this and other changes to Medicare policy occurring this year, visit APTA's 2013 Medicare Changes website. Comments Lets make this easier for all of us. Put an immediate cap on reimbursement $100. part a AND part b per session. Also , tell them to STOP paying for pallative or unsubstantiated treatment NOW. US per dx limited to 8 visits for example. Since it as NO place in treatment of the spine for instance it would curtail the billings from the offices ( not necessarily PT offices) that provide ineffective,mindless intervention for the sole purpose of creating a bill. Addtinally, choosing the right restrictions may foster more thought in some of our conscientious but misdirected PTs. Limiting US reimbursement is one of many examples we could employ to help with MC spending. This list may take an hour to compile and save millions, we could start tomorrow morning. The give back to us is NO CAP. Our intervention should be a cost saving intevention to our patient population. When MC realizes or is told that we may get the reimbursement and respect we deserve. Posted by tom DePaulis on 3/24/2013 5:33 PM I don't know why government have hire Pts working against PTs? Waist of taxpayers moneys. Posted by Alex Khomennko on 3/26/2013 7:13 PM

text: Loading. Please wait. The Best Options for Cooling Bedrooms This SummerMost people in most climates can tolerate hot days in the summertime (if allowed to complain ad nausea), but it's at night when the heat really gets to us. You lie there sweaty and sleepless, wishing you could master levitation just so you wouldn't have to touch your sheets. And forget about cuddling up with your spouse. The last thing you need is contact with another 99-degree blob who's just as grouchy as you are. It's at times like this when you commit to making cooling the bedroom a top priority. We'll, here are your basic options, from the most to the least expensive.Air ConditioningObviously. A/C works everywhere, and it works fast. The only problems are it's expensive to buy and even more expensive to operate, because it uses loads of electricity. However, an energy-efficient "room" A/C unit does a great job of cooling a small space like a bedroom without costing too much. In dry climates, a portable evaporative cooler (a.k.a. swamp cooler) works well and uses significantly less electricity than conventional A/C. For a large bedroom suite, a mini split A/C might be a good option. Also called "ductless" A/C, mini splits have a compact outdoor compressor unit linked to an indoor delivery unit. And unlike central A/C systems, they don't need a furnace and duct network, so they're perfect for additions and expanded living spaces. Many also work as heaters in winter.FansFans work pretty well if you use them properly. In all but the hottest, most humid climates, a whole house fan ("attic fan") cools your bedroom and the rest of the house at night by pulling outdoor air in through windows and exhausting hot air out through the attic. Run it for a while at night and again in the morning before closing up the windows for the day. You can use window fans the same way by setting one in a window blowing into the bedroom and setting another blowing out of a window in a nearby room to promote cross ventilation. Ceiling fans work if they're blowing on you (they don't cool the room). The airflow pulls heat from your skin and helps your body cool itself. Finally, some people like to run their furnace's blower fan (without the heat, of course) just to circulate the home's air, which can balance the temperature and eliminate hot spots. Reducing Heat GainPreventing your bedroom from heating up during the day will help keep you cool no matter what cooling methods you use. Most heat is gained through windows (opened or closed), so at the very least, use blinds or curtains to block the sunlight. This reduces heat that travels with the light, called radiant heat. Insulated shades block radiant heat as well as conductive heat passing through the glass. But the best way to reduce heat gain is with awnings or external shades that stop the sunlight from reaching windows. As for the windows themselves, you can install new high-tech windows with low-e coatings as part of a remodel. For existing windows, you can apply heat-blocking window film that can reduce heat transmission through the glass by up to 60%. If looks aren't a concern, you can block both light and heat with rigid foam insulation board cut to fit each window (hold it in place with a stick-on Velcro button at each corner).Guerilla Cooling TacticsWhen things get desperate, here are a few tricks to try at bedtime:Cold-water bath: Works much better than a cold shower. Tap water is plenty cold for this, and it cools down your whole body in a couple of minutes. Just make sure your heart is up to the task.Wet-towel blanket: Works especially well when coupled with a ceiling fan.Hot water bottle filled with ice water: Place the bottle over your ankles, on your forehead, or behind your knees to help cool your boiling blood.Cotton pillow: You want something absorbent. Synthetic and down pillows are bad for heat.One or more of the above tactics is bound to work, at least enough to let you get to sleep until a window fan can cool down the room with outdoor air. Whatever you do, don't stand in front of your freezer with the door open; it's really hard on the appliance, it wastes a lot of energy, and it makes you look like a bad actor in a really bad TV commercial.

Too little, too slow. But not necessarily too late. That seems to sum up steel's verdict on the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), better known as the economic stimulus package.
Too little, because the amount of new demand likely to be generated by the ARRA—anything from 2.5 million to 3.5 million tons of steel, depending on estimates—is a small fraction of what has been wiped out by the economic slump. Building new bridges, renovating highways, investing in school buildings and constructing more wind towers are all worthwhile, but they don't begin to compensate for the idling of construction sites and auto plants across the country in the first half of the year.
Too slow, because as we move into the fourth quarter of what has been one of the toughest years in living memory for the U.S. economy, the real hour of need may have passed. Steel and metal prices have recovered from their lows, and there are at last some indications that underlying demand may be picking up, thanks to the "Cash for Clunkers" program and the progress of the natural stocking cycle. The ARRA's role in the recovery appears to have been tiny, although its psychological impact may have been more important.
But too late? Perhaps not. At the end of last year, when mills had cut capacity rates to below 40 percent and steel share prices had plunged to bargain-basement levels, the promise of a government-led demand boost was welcomed with open arms. Because it hasn't yet materialized doesn't mean that it won't be needed in the future.
Whatever you feel about the Obama administration's policies—and we know they're generating strong opinions throughout the industry—it's undeniable that the President came into office facing an unprecedented number of "emergencies," as one steel analyst described them. At the top of the list was the state of the banks and the automakers, which were broken and needed rescuing.
The steel industry has been through its own crisis, and although there were, and will be, casualties as a result of the credit crunch—particularly among smaller companies most exposed to the auto sector, not to mention the thousands of workers laid off or furloughed across all parts of the production chain—the industry as a whole hasn't needed a huge helping hand from government.
The economy remains fragile, however, and just because the worst of the downturn appears to have passed it doesn't mean the industry is out of the woods. All sorts of problems could derail the recovery a fresh slump in the financial markets, stagnation in the post-Clunker auto industry, the continuing rationing of credit and, not least, the impact of China, where an altogether more steel-intensive stimulus program has sent steel demand to unprecedented highs and in doing so has kept the country's exports well below last year's levels.
If China stumbles, a fresh surge of steel to U.S. shores could easily drive down prices. That might give a short-term shot in the arm to steel buyers for government-funded construction projects, but it risks undercutting the mills' attempts to match production to demand throughout the downturn and the nascent upturn.
Industry analysts and executives believe it will be 2010 before the bigger bridge-building and construction projects under the ARRA generate sizeable new demand for steel. That's a year later than many would have liked, but not too late to play a role in steel's delicate recovery.

The Road to KDE 4: KWin Composite Brings Bling to KDE
KWin, KDE's window manager, has been around since KDE 2.0 (replacing KWM in KDE 1.x) and has grown to be a mature and stable window manager over the years. For KDE 4, however, there were a few people rumbling about visual effects, and perhaps KWin was feeling a little envious of its younger cousins Compiz and Beryl. While these new effects have created a lot of buzz around Linux and UNIX, long-term KDE users have wished they can enjoy the effects of Compiz/Beryl while still having the tried and tested window manager that is KWin. As a result, for KDE 4, KWin has received a huge graphical upgrade, with composite and GL support. Read on for more details.
KWin has implemented effects in a way that allows a number of different rendering methods to be used, depending on your specific combination of hardware and drivers. These features have brought KWin rapidly into the era of dazzling eyecandy, along with some pleasant surprises on the usability front. This effort has been spearheaded by Lubos Lunak (a man known for his efficient code) and his team, with special mention to Rivo Laks and Philip Falkner for their contributions.
Effects are disabled by default at the moment, although that may change before KDE 4 ships, and distributions may decide to alter this setting anyway. When enabled, the effects are designed to degrade gracefully. If GL is not available, KWin disables GL effects but still allows Composite effects where possible via XRender. If XRender is not available, it falls back to plain X, running in the same fashion as the present KDE 3 version. To get the full array of effects, you need to have a video card (and driver) that supports AIGLX, XGL or use the proprietary Nvidia driver.
Once the effects are enabled, it's simply a matter of choosing which effects you'd like to activate. So far, Rivo Laks has been working on the effects plugin selection interface (see the screenshot below). The new plugin selection widget shown is making its way into various parts of KDE - it does automatic dependency checking, so once the dependency tree is known, it will intelligently enable or disable dependent plugins. This widget is also showing up in other parts of KDE 4.
(as you can see in the image, this dialog is quite new - less than a week old - and is missing all the icons...)
Lubos has been periodically blogging about the effects that KWin is now capable of, and has recorded a number of videos showing them off. Since video capture on my system is rather chunky, I will present his recordings instead. So, without further ado, I present some of the more popular of his flash videos, hosted by YouTube. If you are interested in more, please visit his YouTube User Page
The Present Windows Effect - a very useful effect that falls into both eye-candy and usability categories...
The Desktop Grid Effect - those familar with the Cube effect may note that this is not quite as flashy, but probably more useful. Doesn't mean there cannot be a Cube effect for KWin though.
This one shows the above two effects, as well as the Alt-Tab thumbnails, but it shows that the effects work great, even when the windows contain active videos.
Zoom Effect and Magnifier Effect: some accessibility related features that everyone may find useful, depending on your specific needs.
Effects like this one make people go "Wow". The first part of this video features the Fall Apart Effect, which basically has a window blow up. It's amazing how well this effect can be demonstrated in a low quality flash video...
Aside from Lubos, many of the new effects and underlying core components were programmed by Rivo Laks and Philip Falkner. They are responsible for many of the effects you see in the videos, including the Present Windows Effect, and the improved Alt-Tab dialog. There have been a number of contributions from others as well, and they are always looking for new and interesting ideas. In addition, KWin for KDE 4 builds on the already existing KWin version which has had dozens of people contribute to it over the years.
The window decoration shown above is called 'kwin3_crystal' and is still set as the default in SVN. It is simply a port of the existing KDE 3 Crystal window decorations, however, a new KWin window decoration is still in the works for KDE 4 - it hasn't been made the default yet, so I haven't been featuring it. When it does eventually become the default, you'll be sure to hear about it here (and likely in Danny's KDE Commit-Digest as well...).
KWin for KDE 3.x implemented a very simple composite manager, allowing simple effects such as window transparencies, fading menus, shadows, and so forth. The code was not too complex, but the infrastructure was not in place to seriously extend the effects to GL powered goodness. When the KDE 4 development series opened, it was seen as an excellent time to rewrite some of KWin's internal structures in order to support such effects. There were initial considerations of implementing support for the existing Compiz and/or Beryl system of effects via plugins, but there were technological hurdles that prevented this. I won't go into the technical details as to why this decision was made, however, it is important to note that KDE 4 will still work with Compiz/Beryl should the users choose to use that software instead of KWin.
Additionally, while KDE 4 will be supporting a number of platforms with libraries and applications, KWin is one of the applications that will not be making the switch as it is inextricably tied to X. This should be considered to be a Good Thing(tm), as it ensures that KDE will always be the best looking when used with Linux/UNIX, and hopefully it (and related KDE Workspace technologies, like Plasma) will remain a unique benefit of using a more open operating system.
KWin promises to ensure that KDE get the graphical boost it needs to keep the eye-candy folks happy, while providing new and usable features for the desktop environment that would not have otherwise been possible. Yet, it maintains the rock-solid foundation that a long history as an integral part of KDE has provided. It will still work (with reduced levels of effects) on any system that KDE 3 ran on, so no-one is left out in the cold. It is already the default for KDE 4 in SVN, and will be showing up in future beta releases.
On a personal note, I've found that KWin on my system was dropping down into XRender mode due to some X settings I need to fix, but it has been perfectly stable for me over the last two weeks. In fact, every week when I'm rebuilding KDE 4 to write these articles, I am more amazed at how quickly it is becoming stable and useful. If you are interested in testing it out for yourself, check to see if your distribution has packages available. I am aware of the existence of at least one live CD (where you don't have to risk messing with your system) that is available at the KDE Four Live website. They update the Live CD every few weeks, and currently has the KDE 4.0 Alpha 1 packages. Additionally, if you are brave enough to test the Composite features, and are having problems, have a quick look at the Composite HowTo.. If you have problems, please report bugs using the the KDE Bug Tracker by selecting the KWin program, and the "composite" component.
Until next time.
Re: Fragmentation
"'perfectly valid reasons' were things like"
someone else filled in the details for you, if you look above there is a list of things kwin does right today that beryl/compiz doesn't. i try not to spend more than a minute or two writing replies here, so apologies for not being more thorough.
"I REALLY doubt it would be anywhere near as hard as duplicating that much of Beryl's functionality was"
well, it is. in part because the proper window management takes a -lot- of testing under all kinds of conditions and compositing tech is far more self-contained of a problem space: it either works or it doesn't. neither is trivial, but one is faster to get through. the work compiz/beryl have done also shows the way quite nicely; they deserve massive kudos for that.
we have a known good solution that our userbase absolutely relies on. beryl/compiz doesn't work for the entirety, majority even, of that user base. ergo the chosen solution.
btw, this isn't a kde thing. metacity is doing the same thing and, as i understand it, for the same reasons.

By Brotherred at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Fragmentation
The simple point is: Compiz was a research project. It is now indeed duplicating stuff found in current windowmanagers, but that's THEIR waste of time.
The lack of a plugin infrastructure in compiz makes it impossible to directly re-use their plugins (though we can and do port code and ideas from them). And windowmanagment is much larger than compositing, so it makes more sense to add compositing to a windowmanager than a windowmanager to a compositor.

Great. How about adding standard behavior?
While I like these video's, there is one thing that Kwin still cannot do: really maximize a window! By this, I mean that the border around the window really disappears, and I can, finally, scroll in konqueror without having to look at the right edge of the screen to see if my cursor is on the scrollbar. I could just flip my mouse to the side and scroll.....

Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
I use Plastik window decoration and it hides the border at maximalization. (Try to scroll with the mouse in xterm on the border and on the edge after maximalizing.) Maybe the problem is with the application? (E. g. Konqueror itself has a border.)
By Grósz Dániel at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am

Same with baghira. No border, also with konqueror.
By Guu at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
there are three aspects to this problem:
a) the window decoration needs to "get out of the way" on maximized windows. most window deco themes do this now.
b) the window manager should allow non-bordered windows and remove the window decoration from the equation on request; kwin (and most others) allow this
c) the application needs to avoid adding internal borders/frames at the window edges that get in the way. there is nothing the window manager can do about this one.
and (c) is what you are running into. the tab widget in qt3 has a real problem here where it insists on putting a border there.
so you're right that kwin can't do this, but that's because kwin, or any other wm, can't.
By Aaron J. Seigo at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am

With Konqueror you can press Ctrl+Shift+F to make it fullscreen without borders.

Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
That can already be done - I'm surprised no one told you how -
A window can be in one of four states
I think what you are asking for is a way to reach the fourth state. Well, the window menu, in the "advanced" submenu, has a "full-screen" option. I set up a shortcut for that (alt-enter - there's no default shortcut, however).
One way to set up a shortcut is in the kde control center, region and accessibility -> keyboard shortcuts. In the first tab (global shortcuts), in the "windows" group you have the "full screen" entry.
(By the way, don't say "one thing kwin cannot do" when that's not true, at least add a "I think").

No matter what you do you (disable "Allow moving and..." or F11 fullscreen) you still end up with a couple of pixels right to the scrollbar.

Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
Not exactly. On Kubuntu with Baghira as decoration, my Konqueror have no such burder, if he is maximized. Only in 'normal' mode, there is such a border.

Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
Here is a little Screenshot of a maximized Konqueror (the active window in the back) and a normal Konqueror (the little window in front). As you can see, there is no border beside the scrollbar of the maximized window, but a gray at the small window.
By Chaoswind at Fri, 2007/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: Great. How about adding standard behavior?
I use a dirty hack to correct this annoying issue....
Use window specific settings to force the window to be displayed with the scrollbar at the edge of the screen. The only option that seems to work is 'force' while for 'apply initially' and 'remember', the setting is not applied on new windows for some weird reason...

kwin is bad for drag & drop!
Although KDE support d&d (drag and drop) but KWin fails KDE applications by making it impossible to do drag&drop.
because the focus changes to the window as soon as the mouse button is pressed (clicked and held), which makes it impossible to do drag and drop in KDE.
whereas, in windows, when the user releases the mouse button only then the "focus" shifts to the window.
Try for yourself:
1. open konqueror file manager or Dolphin (first window)
6. as soon as you click on the file in the maximized window the focus is given there and lo and behold! your whole idea of drag&drop is destroyed.
it was reported in KDE 3.3 by me, and this thing is
Will KDE 4 really support d&d which works???

Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
> it was reported in KDE 3.3 by me, and this thing is
With KDE 3.5, there is some advanced configuration for this things. I does'nt the English name for modul, but it must be something like 'windowattributes', where you can also configure the click-behavior.
By Chaoswind at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am

Well if you set Focus follows mouse that will work fine, lets hope they fix it compleately for KDE4 :)
By ben at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
I didn't yet think of it, but now after you mentioned it: It really bugs...
But I think it should be amended: "focus on release + focus on hold for more that 5 seconds" so I can still get a window to the front where I have some folder below my current window.
By Arne Babenhause... at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
This kind of drag and drop works with tabs in Konqueror, which has a nice smart behaviour if you drag an item over the tab, so it works as expected. It's also less work (e.g. to manage the windows) than having multiple windows.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
7. press "ALT-TAB" to bring the "unmaximized" second window to the top
As soon as I click on a window, I expect it to be active and on the top. So that's exactly the behaviour I'd expect.

I like the Mac OS X way even more:
The application opens the file automatically with it's default settings. No need to wait to have the window in focus if you want the default behavior.

Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
On my KDE it's possible actually : just try to drag&drop a Konqueror tab to the konqueror icon of your kicker shorcut bar.
Another thing i like is that when dragging, you can wait over a task bar item, it will give the focus to the app and you'll be able to drop it where you want.
By bluestorm at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
First: Use ALT-TAB to bring on top the window that is behind the maximized one.
Second: Drag files to the button of the second windows where you want to drop, but wait a few senconds. The window will pop up and you will be able to drop files.
Your problem is not big enoguth to say that KWin makes imposible to drag & drop on KDE, or that the whole idea of drag&drop is destroyed.

If you try to drag and drop in this specific way, it doesn't work!
Answer: don't do it that way.
I sympathize; it took some getting used to, but there are plenty of workarounds suggested. It's certainly not something that should be changed by default. *Maybe* an option somewhere.

Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
There are workarounds, but the real thing is that this won't ever work - the way X.org works makes it impossible (according to the kwin developers, that is).
I do find it unfortunate, but :(

Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
X have support for this!!
a focus can rise the window or not, most people expect that to happen, but there are several WM that allow it... fluxbox is one of then, it have a option "click to rise"... as soon you click on a window, it rises (the focus is another option), so disabling this will allow one to click and work on a window that is below another one... i maybe wrong, but i think i saw one option in kwin to not "rise on focus/mouse button" when i used it
By higuita at Fri, 2007/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!
Actually, I prefer the "focus follows mouse" policy. That way, there is no problem with drag and drop (as opposed to bloody window$, which bring the window to the top when it is clicked. No way to simply _activate_ a window, while keeping it behind, where it was the whole time :(. Now THAT'S annoying.)
By zonk at Thu, 2007/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kwin is bad for drag & drop!

Re: What about KDE theme manager?
kdm is not a theme manager, its kdes login application. the link you posted is only used to choose a theme for kdm, not kde.
also, kde3.5 allready has a theme manager (to be found under appearance and themes in controll center) that makes it possible to to configure desktop-background, colors, widget theme, icons, fonts and the screensaver with one file.
so it works exactly like gnome. the only difference is that gnome users tend to produce more "theme-files" than "widget-theme-engines", and kde users do the opposite.

text: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Majority of States Opt for Federal Exchange The federal government will be running new health insurance marketplaces, also known as exchanges, in at least 26 states, says an article by Kaiser Health News. These states include the major population centers of Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The Obama administration has given "conditional approval" to 17 states and the District of Columbia to run their own marketplaces. About 12 million people are expected to buy coverage through the Internet sites next year, with the number increasing to 29 million by 2021, according to consulting firm PriceWaterHouseCoopers. For consumers, it should make little difference whether the new Internet sites are run from state capitals or Washington, DC. But federal regulators hoped states would shoulder some of the work and that stakeholder groups such as hospitals and insurers wanted states to help, too. The exchanges become effective October 1. Governors from Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and West Virginia have sought approval for the third option— a partnership with the federal government. Three of those states—Arkansas, Delaware, and Illinois—have received conditional approval, says the article. In a partnership, states would approve which plans can participate on the marketplace and handle consumer assistance duties, such as setting up call centers to handle inquiries. The federal government would handle the more complex duties of running the website, marketing the site, and determining the eligibility of millions of people for government subsidies that will make prices more affordable.

If your child has bowel movements (BMs) in places other than the toilet, you know how frustrating it can be. Many parents assume that kids who soil their pants are simply misbehaving or that they're too lazy to use the bathroom when they have the urge to go.
The truth is that many kids beyond the age of toilet teaching (generally older than 4 years) who frequently soil their underwear have a condition known as encopresis. They have a problem with their bowels that dulls the normal urge to go to the bathroom — and they can't control the accidents that typically follow.
Encopresis affects about 1% to 2% of kids under age 10. Yet, problems with encopresis and constipation account for more than 25% of all visits to pediatric gastroenterologists (doctors who specialize in disorders of the stomach and intestines).
Most encopresis cases (90%) are due to "functional constipation" — that is, constipation that has no medical cause. The stool (or BM) is hard, dry, and difficult to pass when a person is constipated. Many kids "hold" their BMs to avoid the pain they feel when they go to the bathroom, which sets the stage for having a poop accident.
Well-intentioned advice from family members and friends isn't always helpful because many people mistakenly believe that encopresis is a behavioral issue — a simple lack of self-control. Frustrated parents, grandparents, and caregivers may suggest various punishments and consequences for the soiling — which only leaves the child feeling even more alone, angry, depressed, or humiliated. Up to 20% of kids with encopresis have feelings of low self-esteem that require help from a psychologist or counselor.
Punishing or humiliating a child with encopresis will only make matters worse. Instead, talk to your doctor, who can help you and your child through this challenging but treatable problem.
Three to six times more common in boys, encopresis isn't a disease, but rather a symptom that may have different causes. To understand encopresis, it's important to understand constipation.
There's a wide range of normal when it comes to having a BM. The frequency of BMs varies with a person's age and individual nature. "Normal" pooping might range from one or two BMs per day to only three or four per week. Some kids don't poop on a regular basis, but a child who passes a soft, medium-sized BM without difficulty every 3 days is not constipated. However, a child who passes a hard BM (small or large) every other day is. Other kids may go every day, but they only release little, hard balls and there's always poop left behind in the rectum.
So, what causes the hard poop in the first place? Any number of things, including diet, illness, decreased fluid intake, fear of the toilet during toilet teaching, or limited access to a toilet or a toilet that's not private (like at school). Some kids may develop chronic constipation after stressful life events such as a divorce or the death of a close relative.
Although rectal surgery or birth defects such as Hirschsprung disease and spina bifida can cause constipation or encopresis without constipation, this is uncommon.
Whatever the cause, once a child begins to hold in BMs, the poop starts building up in the rectum and may back up into the colon — and a vicious cycle begins.
The colon's job is to remove water from the poop before it's passed. The longer the poop is stuck there, the more water is removed — and the harder it is to push the large, dry poop out. The large poop also stretches out the colon, weakening the muscles there and affecting the nerves that tell a child when it's time to go to the bathroom. Because the flabby colon can't push the hard poop out, and it's painful to pass, the child continues to avoid having a BM, often by dancing, crossing the legs, making faces, or walking on tiptoes.
Eventually, the rectum and lower part of the colon becomes so full that it's difficult for the sphincter (the muscular valve that controls the passage of feces out of the anus) to hold the poop in. Partial BMs may pass through, causing the child to soil his or her pants. Softer poop may also leak out around the large mass of feces and stain the child's underwear when the sphincter relaxes. The child can't prevent the soiling — nor does he or she have any idea it's happening — because the nerves aren't sending the signals that regulate pooping.
At first, parents may think their child has a simple case of diarrhea. But after repeated episodes, it becomes clear that there's another problem — especially because the soiling happens when the child isn't sick.
Parents are often frustrated by the fact that their child seems unfazed by these accidents, which happen mostly during waking hours. Denial may be one reason for the child's nonchalance — kids just can't face the shame and guilt associated with the condition (some even try to hide their soiled underpants from their parents). Another reason may be more scientific: Because the brain eventually gets used to the smell of feces, the child may no longer notice the odor.
Call the doctor if your child shows any of these symptoms:
As the colon is stretched by the buildup of stool, the nerves' ability to signal the brain that it's time for a BM is harmed. If untreated, the soiling will get worse and kids may lose their appetites or complain of stomach pain.
A large, hard poop may also cause a tear in the skin around the anus that will leave blood on the stools, the toilet paper, or in the toilet. Constipation is also associated with wetting and urinary tract infections (UTI).
If you think your child has encopresis, call your doctor. The problem probably can be managed by your doctor, but if initial efforts don't work, you may be referred to a gastroenterologist.
Treatment is done in three phases:
Keep in mind that relapses are normal, so don't get discouraged. Your child might get constipated again or soil his or her pants during treatment, especially when being weaned off of the medicines.
A good way to track your child's progress is by keeping a daily poop calendar. Make sure to note the frequency, consistency (hard, soft, dry), and size (large, small) of the BMs.
Patience is the key to treating encopresis. It may take anywhere from several months to a year for the stretched-out colon to return to its normal size and for the nerves in the colon to become effective again.
Diet and exercise are extremely important in keeping stools soft and BMs regular. Also, make sure your child gets plenty of fiber-rich foods such as fresh fruits, dried fruits like prunes and raisins, dried beans, vegetables, and high-fiber bread and cereal.
Because kids often cringe at the thought of fiber, try these creative ways to add it to your child's diet:
And don't forget to have your child drink plenty of fluids each day, especially water. Diluted 100% fruit juice (like pear, peach, or prune) is an option if your child is not drinking enough water. Also, limiting your child's daily dairy intake (including milk, cheese, and yogurt) may help.
Successful treatment of encopresis depends on the support a child gets. Some parents find that positive reinforcement helps to encourage the child throughout treatment. For instance, put a star or sticker on the poop calendar for having a BM (or even just for trying to), sitting on the toilet, or taking medicines.
Whatever you do, don't blame or yell — it will only make your child feel bad and it won't help manage the condition. With lots of love, support, and reassurance that he or she isn't the only one in the world with this problem, your child can overcome encopresis.

KDE 4.1 Alpha 1 in the News
Ryan Paul over at Ars Technica is at it again, this time with an early review of KDE 4.1 Alpha 1. He writes, "This alpha release marks the start of the 4.1 feature freeze, so virtually all of the remaining developer effort between now and the official 4.1 release in July will focus on bug-fixing, polish, and stability." Features that are listed as planned for 4.1 can still be implemented for 4.1. Next, our friends at Polish Linux are at it once again, bringing us a visual review of KDE 4.1 of revision 802150, which roughly corresponds to Alpha 1. Buried in the article, I found this interesting bit of news, "Kwin features a new visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the Wobbly Windows."
There has got to be a better way....
There has got to be a better, more efficient way to draw shadows around windows than to put a shadow behind the whole window. Compiz, doesn't do this and thus when you wobble windows, you don't see the shadow layer lagging behind the top layer. Now in compiz, the window decorator is a separate process, does this make a differenece?

Re: There has got to be a better way....
Hi !
I have write a bug report for this :
Seems that you have add a comment to this report
I don't know the architecture of kwin but perhaps that drawing shadows around windows is in fact an optimisation ? More easy to just compute a rectangular area, and perhaps when the area is behind something else there is not any draws made for it ?

Re: There has got to be a better way....
I like it more than I liked the compiz one.
I hope it stays as is.

KDE alpha1 looks amazing. When will kubuntu get packages? Most KDE centric distributions have them already :/
By cool at Thu, 2008/05/01 - 5:00am
Re: great
Kubuntu is no distribution, the distribution is called Ubuntu. And Ubuntu is not KDE centric.
I'm really not very satisfied with Kubuntu lately, the Hardy Heron KDE 4 flavour is just a bad joke: vanilla KDE, feels like compiling the packages yourself (besides many plasmoids and most of the KDE 4 wallpapers are missing in Kubuntu). I expect more from a Linux distribution.
I'm really thinking about switching to a more KDE centric distribution lately.
By fhd at Thu, 2008/05/01 - 5:00am
Re: great
I'm not satisfied with Kubuntu, but credit where it's due: the wallpapers are not missing, they're in a different package, called "kdebase-workspace-wallpapers" (probably to cut down the size of kdebase).

Re: great
I'm personally impressed with what OpenSUSE has done with KDE 4 in the 11 beta 1
I was not impressed with kubuntu, it really just doesn't look very professional
Re: great
OMG, this rocks. I should really think about switching to SuSE... their KDE 3.5.x desktop looks a hundred times more professional than Kubuntu's too.
Sad openSuSE only ships KDE 3.5.7... and sad they've become GNOME centric too.
BTW, the wallpapers thing:
By fhd at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
OpenSUSE is not Gnome centric. Opensuse has the biggest KDE team amongst all the distro's. If anything they are more KDE centric than Gnome.
Re: great
In addition, online surveys show that a whopping 72% of users use KDE. Becoming "GNOME-centric" in the face of this would be insane.
Re: great
Online surveys are not even remotely reliable, and different surveys show conflicting results. Don't quote them in public.

By M at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
I forgot to ad, that opensuse ship with the stable KDE version at the time of release, but you will find the KDE updates hit the opensuse repositories quicker than any other distro.
apt-get is nice, Yast is improving constantly
Re: great
you can easily add suse buildservice repositories, and have latest versions of almost everything, including kde.
as for opensuse being gnome centric, well, while it has somewhat departed from kde-centric roots, i don't feel that they are leaving out kde or something.
By richlv at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
I'm thinking about that too. I just like apt-get so much that to this point I tolerated the generally bad kde4 performance of kubuntu.
But seeing how e.g. OpenSuse rolls things with KDE 4, polishes it and constantly gives updates, I might switch over the next weeks.
I heard impresseions like this from a lot of people. So if Kubuntu continues to frustrate users with KDE 4 they'll be in big trouble. And I know it's not the fault of JRiddell, he's all alone on this after all.
By Donovan at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
Same here... Apt-Get is THE reason I use Kubuntu.
So much easier than dealing with package dependencies with openSUSE (although it got much better)
PLEASE, Please put some effort into Kubuntu.
By M at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
It isn't up to KDE to put effort into Kubuntu. It is up to Cannonical to put effort into Kubuntu.
openSUSE has been making some great KDE packages and they're are starting to win me over these days.
Arch Linux has great KDE 3.x packages availble with the KDE-mod repository, and Sabayon uses those patches as well.

"Kubuntu is no distribution, the distribution is called Ubuntu. And Ubuntu is not KDE centric."
I'm sorry, but that sentence makes no sense at all.
If you don't like Kubuntu, then by all means, switch to something else or help improve it.
By Joergen Ramskov at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
It was meant as an answer to this sentence:
It implies that Kubuntu is a KDE centric distribution.
With my answer, I meant that Kubuntu is not a distribution, but a flavour of a distribution called "Ubuntu". And the distribution Ubuntu is not KDE centric.
I don't have time to really help improve it. I report the bugs I find and I critisize it (trying to be constructive of course, but shit happens) - that's it for now.
That's my way to help Kubuntu - nothing will change if nobody complains.
By fhd at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
Trust me, the Kubuntu team wants KDE 4.1 as much as you do. But it's not as simple as that, as Hardy Heron was just released, and KDE 4.1 will be released 3 months from now.
As of now, there has been absolutely no time to do any migration to KDE 4.1. This is in fact a huge job, and not one that could have been sanely accomplished in the time between now and hardy's release. You have Qt 4.4 that you have to migrate to, and then package. You have to write migration scripts for configuration files, and you have to do this without bugs. Then, you also have to package KDE 4.1. The Ubuntu developer's summit where this is all going to be concretely fleshed out hasn't even taken place yet.
The main problem is with the timings of the releases of *buntu and KDE. All of the above hurdles are related to the timings of Kubuntu and KDE releases. If you sync Kubuntu to KDE, people will complain about getting Kubuntu 3 months late. If you don't, and keep releases synced with Ubuntu, people will complain about not getting prerelease versions of KDE 4.1 as early as the other distributions. Trust me, the last thing that the Kubuntu team needs is people complaining, since they'll have people complaining about any choice that they make.
By Jonathan Thomas at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
Should be: "about choices they make either way." at the end there, heh.
By Jonathan Thomas at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
I don't think Kubuntu should by any case switch to kde 4.0.x or 4.1 till all impressions has been taken. Apparently, kde 4.x is a big mis, which takes me to freeze to 3.5.x or to switch to gnome, which i already did at my home fedora distro. At work still using kde because i used to it (since '95) and i did lot under qt. So Kubuntu should stay focused on the stability prior to some polish shell of the empty, and more sadly, unusable content.
By xddule at Wed, 2008/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: great - Sadly, I agree: Kubuntu is a joke!!!
Sadly, I have to agree. Kubuntu 8.04 KDE Remix is a joke.
Usually Kubuntu is a half a$$ed version of Ubuntu. (don't they have only like 1-2 people working on Kubuntu??)
This time it takes the cake!!! It feels so unfinished, almost Beta version.
Canonical, please put some effort into the KDE branch. I understand that Ubuntu is your big "seller" but Linux is about choice!!
By M at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: great
Well, on distrowatch.org, at the time being ubuntu is the number 1 distro, while kubuntu is number 14, while is OpenSUSE is number 3, supporting multiple desktop environments very nicely.
I think Ubuntu with kde4 lacks big time compared to openSUSE. I even tried switching to openSUSE, but the complex/sluggish installer, hardware support and perhaps no shipit blown me away xD
I really wish Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Shumuntu/etcbuntu will "merge" in the way openSUSE does things...
I stumbled myself in k/ubuntu kde4 with the wallpapers package issue xD it should get fixed...

OpenSUSE Screenshots
I've uploaded some more detail screenshots of OpenSUSE 11 beta 2 if people want to see the improvements to it.
By R. J. at Sun, 2008/05/04 - 5:00am
Tabs in Dolphin! Omg, that's terrific news. Best of all, I didn't expect that feature at all. I always thought Dolphin was a nice file manager but that I can't migrate from Konqueror because I can't miss its tabs. And now this!
On the other hand, I could really have expected tabs in Dolphin when I saw that Peter Penz worked on close buttons for the tab widget. So much for my deductive skills x-)
By Jakob Petsovits at Thu, 2008/05/01 - 5:00am
Good article, but when you look at the screen shots you can see how far ahead opensuse is with tweaking and polishing 4.1. Just look at the screenshots for 11 beta 1. I guess to be expected considering the large KDE team they have. But thanks for the article.
By anon at Thu, 2008/05/01 - 5:00am
Re: interesting
openSUSE will release a heavily modified version of 4.0 as 4.1 is scheduled to be released after openSUSE 11.0.

Where is the desktop
Where is the desktop? the ability to create folders, files. Where are the useful options of the right click of a mouse? Widgets should only be one more option on the menu of these options click Direct. KDE 4 ta should do this, I think you forgot essences. Do what is useful and enjoyable. This form kde 4 vai follow the same path of Windows Vista...

By Jonathan Thomas at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
The dependence of some UIs (XP and to a lesser degree KDE) on "right clicks" is a major annoyance for me if I use my laptop's touchpad. So I hope KDE will not make extensive use of this feature.
By Ego at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
Your touchpad doesn't have right and left buttons? Mine even emulates the wheel. The single button interface died with the single tasking pre OS X Mac. Without right clicks how do you have a context menu? Having recently added context menus to Kommander I experieced first hand the vastly improved potential to design a rich and responsive user interface with far less clutter. It's beyond absurd that KDE developers should trash a rich interface and emulate Xerox Parc because you don't like your touchpad. I was never fully comfortable with my touchpad so I got a small USB laptop mouse. Problem solved.
By Eric Laffoon at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
It seems that most people get USB mouses for their laptops and some even use a "real pc keyboard" while at their home desk etc. =)
By Dread Knight at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
I prefer to use tap-to-click (instead of the left button), tap-and-drag and mouse wheel emulation. This allows me to stay with one finger on the pad all the time and is very convinient as long as I do not have to use the context menu. I do not propose to trash an existing UI (XP or KDE3), but, as you may have noticed, the evolving Plasma in it's current state does not make extensive use of this feature, and I hope this is a design decision. I really love my touchpad and I think it is even more ergonomic than the mouse.
By Ego at Fri, 2008/05/02 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
"The single button interface died with the single tasking pre OS X Mac"
IIRC, one of the design-guidelines of OS X and related apps is that they should not rely on context-menus. After all, all macs still ship with single-button mouse. Yes, Mighty Mouse and trackpads can act as a multi-button mouse, but at their core they are still single-button devices.
"Without right clicks how do you have a context menu?"
How about thinking of ways to NOT rely on context-menus? Context-menus seem to be a trash-heap of functionality that the developers could not fit elsewhere. The app should be perfectly usable without any context-menus at all.
IMO, it might do some good to remove the right mouse-button from the developers mouse, that way he would be forced to think of alternative means of doing things, instead of relying on context-menus.
You mention that context-menus allow you to design interfaces with less clutter? Does that mean that the context-menu is the only way to access certain functionality in your app?
By Janne at Mon, 2008/05/05 - 5:00am
Re: Where is the desktop
Dude, typing is away faster than any mouse positioning, so the context menu is the essential for any constructor, engineer, doctor, programmer, and many more professions. This way i could choose what i need, in the right application i could even configure my context menu, which suits my needs. And i don't even bother to use mouse for it. Because there is meta-key which pops context menu, and intuitive is associated with the right mouse button, even if I'm left hander, because my meta key is on the right side of the keyboard. The mac users also have they 'apple' keys, even old amiga has the context menu button.
The plasma is killing environment for every usable desktop. The first poster has very right to point it.
By xddule at Thu, 2008/05/08 - 5:00am
I am using the latest Kubuntu and I am experiencing still very old and odd quality problems:
- icon set switch gets you uber-big icons in the menu that clutter it (why doesn't the software check it and convert it??)

Durango Liquor & Wine, which acknowledges selling a beer to a visibly intoxicated patron and a licensing violation, is being sold to avoid a 20-day suspension of its liquor license scheduled to begin Jan. 1.
The suspension is not going to happen, current owner Pamela Leder said Monday, explaining that the new store will then be under new ownership.
Leder did not identify the new owners because she did not have permission to speak on their behalf.
She said she and her husband, Joseph Leder, wanted to focus on their other businesses, Animas Wine & Spirits and PJs Gourmet Market, 67 Trimble Crossing, units A and B.
Because Durango Liquor & Wine is under her name, she violated the terms of her liquor license by allowing Joseph Leder to benefit from the privileges of the stores liquor license, according to the stipulated agreement with the state Law Enforcement Division.
Durango Liquor & Wine, 1145 South Camino del Rio, Suite 101, is also to be penalized for selling a Mickeys beer to an intoxicated woman who was later arrested the same night in April for public drunkenness, Pamela Leder said.
Authorities then watched a store surveillance video and determined the woman was drunk at time of sale. The cashier was immediately terminated, Leder said.
Under the terms of the stipulation, the license is to be suspended for a total of 50 days but 30 days are to be held in abeyance for a year as long as there are no more violations. The agreement was reached in lieu of a formal show-cause hearing with the state Licensing Authority.
Pamela Leder also must transfer the retail liquor license to a third party who is completely and wholly independent of Joseph Leder and who also meets the approval of the state by May 1, 2013. Otherwise, the licensee will have to surrender the license.
In other enforcement action, the DoubleTree Hotel, 501 Camino del Rio, and the Himalayan Kitchen, 992 Main Ave., have both agreed to pay fines as sanctions for selling Bud Light to an 18-year-old agent who patronized both establishments Aug. 15.
The fine was calculated as 20 percent of its gross alcohol revenue over five business days in August, but the fine could not be less than $200 or more than $5,000.
The businesses have requested to pay the fines in lieu of the state actively suspending their liquor licenses for five business days with another 10 days of suspension to be held in abeyance for a year.
The DoubleTree paid $839. The Himalayan Kitchen paid $200.
The state agreed to the fines based on the businesses past records and because the state did not think the publics morals would be harmed if they continued to serve alcohol.
