The LaCrosse made its debut in late 2004 as a 2005 model to replace the Century and Regal. Riding on a revised version of the W-body known as MS2000, the LaCrosse was initially available with two powerplant choices in three trim levels: a 3.8 L 3800 Series III V6 available in base CX and mid-level CXL forms, and a 3.6 L HFV6 V6 in the top line CXS model. Power is routed to the front wheels via a 4T65-E automatic transmission (4T65-E HD on Super's).

-11

Ok, it's -11c now and it's cold.  Yes, we had much colder days when living in Michigan but the body gets adjusted to where you live and now -11c is colllllllllllddddddddddd.  I remember the frozen winters in Michigan, the heavy snowfalls, plowing the driveway in my 1 1/2 ton dump trump and putting wood into the stove often to keep the house warm.  It's much better now with controlled heating, little snow and no driveway to plow.  Life is good :-)

We completed the list of guests to invite for our party, made the decision on what to serve and did a small amount of cleaning the flat even though it's three weeks away.  I'd rather do a little each day instead of waiting for the last minute to clean everything.

Yesterday we lost half of our channels on the TV so I had to go to our providers office to find out what was happening.  Evidently they changed frequencies on many channels and so I had to go home and re-program our TV.  Everything works fine now although we went from 63 to 53 channels.  Even with 53 it's a lot more than we watch so it was no big deal to us, but the cost of the service remained the same.

Ok, to teraz-11c i jest zimno. Tak, mieliśmy dużo chłodniejsze dni, kiedy mieszkasz w Michigan, ale ciało zostanie dostosowane do miejsca zamieszkania, a teraz jest colllllllllllddddddddddd-11c. Pamiętam zamrożone zimy w Michigan, obfite opady śniegu, orki podjazd w moim 1 1 / 2 ton atutem dump i oddanie drewna do pieca często, aby strzegły domu ciepło. Jest dużo lepiej z sterowane ogrzewanie, trochę śniegu i nie podjazd do pługa. Życie jest dobre :-)


Zakończyliśmy listę gości zaprosić do naszej partii, podjął decyzję o tym, co służą i nie niewielką ilość sprzątanie mieszkania, mimo że trzech tygodni od hotelu. Wolałbym, żeby zrobić trochę każdego dnia, zamiast czekać na ostatnią chwilę do czyszczenia wszystkiego.

Wczoraj straciliśmy połowę naszych kanałów w telewizji, więc musiałem pójść do naszego biura dostawców, aby dowiedzieć się co się dzieje. Widocznie zmienił częstotliwość lotów na wielu kanałach i tak musiałam iść do domu i ponownie program naszej telewizji. Wszystko działa dobrze, choć teraz poszliśmy od 63 do 53 kanałów. Nawet 53 to dużo więcej niż możemy oglądać tak było nic wielkiego dla nas, ale koszt usługi pozostała taka sama.

6 Best Linux Terminal Applications

Guake - Quake-style terminal for GNOME
A Quake-style terminal is a drop-down terminal which can be shown/hidden just like the console in Quake (and most of the first-person shooter games out there), using the press of a key (~ in Quake). Guake is a terminal application written in GTK which uses the F12 keyboard shortcut by default to show or hide it.

Guake - drop-down console for the GNOME desktop environment

Guake features transparency, tabs, tray icon, configurable shortcuts, fullscreen mode and allows you to change terminal size, transparency level, appearance, font size and default shell interpreter.

Terminator - feature-rich terminal emulator
Terminator is a powerful terminal application written in Java with support for features like tabs, automatic logging, text drag & drop support, find function, split the current tab horizontally or vertically, profiles, appearance settings (transparency and background image, colours), plugins and configurable keyboard shortcuts. All in all, Terminator is one of the most powerful terminal emulators out there.
Homepage

With features that make it unique, Terminator is a must-try

Konsole - KDE default terminal
Being the default terminal for the K Desktop Environment, Konsole brings usual features like transparency, profiles, notifications, shortcuts, tabs, appearance configuration, but also bookmarks, monitor for silence or activity.
Homepage

Powerful enough, Konsole usually fits most KDE users who need a terminal to blend into the environment

Yakuake - Quake-style terminal for KDE
Yakuake is the terminal of choice for those who use KDE and like the Quake-style approach. Triggered by F12, Yakuake supports tabs, profiles, transparency, resizing, colour and font size configuration, active tab splitting. A very good alternative to Konsole.

Yakuake - drop-down terminal for KDE

GNOME Terminal - GNOME default terminal
GNOME Terminal ships by default with the GNOME desktop environment and it features profiles, configurable keyboard shortcuts, tabs, fullscreen mode, find function, transparency effects, background image.

The default GNOME terminal application

GNOME Terminal allows to configure a profile and change appearance settings (including transparency level, background image, colour scheme or terminal fonts), scrollbar, bell and terminal size.


Tilda - Another Quake-style terminal
Tilda is yet another powerful Quake-style terminal written in GTK which uses by default the F1 keyboard shortcut to show/hide it. It features tabs, transparency effects, build-in text and background color schemes, and powerful configuration options. When first started, Tilda will show the configuration window, where you can change behaviour like showing it on taskbar or start it hidden, change the title and the default web browser to open links, change size, position, enable transparency, choose background image and enable animated pulldown, colour schemes, enable/disable thescrollbar, compatibility options and show/hide keybinding (default F1). The animated pulldown looks kind of ugly though (GNOME 2.32 and Tilda 0.9.6). It doesn't seem to include support for changing the console font, maybe I missed it? Otherwise than that, Tilda is a very good alternative to the ones already mentioned.

Movie player: Totem
Alternative: GNOME MPlayer
GNOME MPlayer is a GTK frontend to mplayer the popular, cross-platform movie player. GNOME MPlayer is provided by the package gnome-mplayer and can play any file that mplayer supports. It has support for subtitles, playlist, video info, and comes with pretty much enough configuration options.
Runners-up:

sudo apt-get install gnome-mplayer


File manager: Nautilus (full review here)
Alternative: GNOME Commander
It was a tough choice between this and PCManFM, and finally decided to go for the twin-panel one although the latter is a good replacement too. GNOME Commander is a twin-panel file manager with features like search for files/folders, horizontal layout, SMB support, keyboard shortcuts, bookmarks. It doesn't seem to integrate context menus for various file formats, for example adding/extracting to/from an archive.
Runners-up: PCManFM, Thunar, emelFM

sudo apt-get install gnome-commander


Web browser: Firefox
Alternative: Epiphany
Epiphany is a clean and simple GTK web browser that uses the WebKit layout engine. It includes the usual features like privacy management, bookmarks, tabs, history, fullscreen mode.
Runners-up:

sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser


Word processor: OpenOffice.org Writer
Alternative: Abiword
Abiword is for those who need a word processing application, but without the more advanced features the OpenOffice.org Writer includes and also quite lightweight compared to the latter. It provides a simple, easy-to-use interface and has support for the OpenDocument Text format.
Runners-up:

sudo apt-get install abiword


Image viewer: Eye of GNOME
Alternative: gThumb
gThumb supports a wide variety of image formats and comes with decent features for an image viewer, like bookmarks, basic editing tools (rotate, convert to other formats, resize), extensions.
Runners-up: GPicView, GQview, GImageView

sudo apt-get install gthumb


Terminal application: GNOME Terminal
Alternative: Guake
A few days ago I talked about Yakuake, a KDE Quake-style console application. Well, Guake is its counterpart on the Gnome desktop environment. Guake features transparency effects, keyboard shortcuts (F12 to hide/show the terminal), tray icon, tabs (using the Firefox shortcuts to switch - Ctrl+Page Up and Ctrl+Page Down), configuration options.
Runners-up:

sudo apt-get install guake


Text editor: Gedit
Alternative: Geany
Geany is a very powerful text editor which also offers features for programmers. Geany comes with tabbed support, highlighting for various programming languages, indentation support, projects, plugins and a whole range of configuration options. A respectable replacement for Gedit, and also a valid tool among more advanced IDEs like Emacs.
Runners-up: Scribes, SciTE, Leafpad

sudo apt-get install geany


Photo manager: Shotwell
Alternative: F-Spot
What better alternative for Shotwell than the former default photo manager, F-Spot? F-Spot features camera support, importing and exporting images to various services, tags, extensions to name a few.
Runners-up:

sudo apt-get install f-spot


Email client: Evolution
Alternative: Claws Mail
Claws Mail is a highly configurable email client written in GTK with features like address book, support for POP3 or SMTP protocols, external editor, multiple accounts.
Runners-up: Thunderbird (not GTK but integrates well enough)

sudo apt-get install claws-mail


Final notice
All the alternative applications and runners-up were chosen to blend well in the GNOME environment, which means all of them (except for Thunderbird) are GTK-based.
