WP remain so reluctant to make the Cape Town Stadium their base that their are handing 'home ground advantage' to Boland.
At a media briefing to confirm that the purpose-build World Cup soccer stadium in Greenpoint will host the annual pre-season encounter between the Stormers and the Boland Cavaliers - scheduled for Saturday, February 9 - WP Rugby Union President Thelo Wakefield said it was "just a normal away game" for the Stormers.
Wakefield declined to entertain questions about a possible move by WP and the Stormers away from Newlands to the Greenpoint venue.
There is still strong resistance from within the WPRU ranks - especially among the clubs - to play more regularly at the Cape Town Stadium.
Asked if this match could open the door for more regular interaction between the City of Cape Town and WP, Wakefield offered a terse response: "We treat this as a normal away game and that is it."
Grant Pascoe, the Mayoral Committee member for Tourism, events and marketing in Cape Town, confirmed that negotiations are "ongoing" with WPRU to move to the new Stadium.
"We have made some good progress," Pascoe told the media briefing.
"However, the city [of Cape Town] is engaged in a process now and we have to follow all the legal routes to commercialise [the stadium].
"To suggest that WP and the Stormers will come here and this will be their home ground won't work for them and won't work for us, because they won't be able to make money and sustain themselves or the stadium.
"We [still] have to jump through all the hoops at this point in time to commercialise the stadium and get [rid of] those 14 restrictions that prohibit us to have any commercial activity at the stadium.
"We are still talking to Western Province. We still hope to have them play their games here, but that is their decision at the end of the day.
"We have a process that we are going through at this point in time."
It was also revealed that the city of Cape Town had lured Boland, as he official hosts of the pre-season match, with a substantial cash incentive.
Francois Davids, President of Boland Rugby Union, said playing the game in Greenpoint is very important for their balance sheet.
"For a union that is not so strong financially, it is vital," Davids said, adding: "We got the offer [from the City of Cape Town], I can't say how much, but it was a good offer."

Cory P. Kooyers examines history of Christianity for keys to modern faith
Maitland, Fla. (PRWEB) January 16, 2013
Within the pages of Cory P. Kooyers's new book, The Political Agenda of the American Church ($10.99, paperback, 978-1-62419-780-2; $5.49, e-book, 978-1-62419-781-9) readers will be introduced to an important historical perspective on the Christian faith, and the basic tenets of the Judeo-Christian outlook. The author examines the current state of the Evangelical church in America, and presents remedies for some of the issues he identifies.
"I hope that readers will gain a clear picture of the reality of the times," states the author. "A new confidence and faith based on historic Judeo-Christianity, and a kick-butt attitude to combat the negative, boring Evangelicalism of today."
Cory P. Kooyers grew up as the child of missionaries in the primitive culture of New Guinea during the decade of the 1960's. He was deeply impacted by the contrast between life in New Guinea and America. This fueled his passion to begin a quest to understand historic Judeo-Christianity, and the role that it could play in modern America.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order The Political Agenda of the American Church through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

An Inspiring Experience for the Sahara RegionLyck, Lise (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article includes as Part One factual information on Greenland and the structure of the Greenlandic economy, and factual information on the Sahara Region, south of Morocco. It is needed in order to have a basic understanding of what Greenland and the Sahara region are, seen from an economic, political and geographical point of view. Furthermore, the current economic situation in both Greenland and the Sahara region is presented together with the development of the last years. Part Two of the article deals with the constitutional framework conditions for Greenland in relation to being part of the Danish Realm, Greenland being situated in the Arctic with a geostrategic position for more Southern powers (America, the Nordic countries and Russia), being inhabited by indigenous people and having a prominent position in relation to sustainability. It also deals with "the Moroccan Initiative for Negotiating an Autonomy Statute for the Sahara Region" , as presented by Morocco to the Security Council on 11 April 2007. Part Three deals with natural resources both in Greenland and the Sahara Region. Firstly a short introduction to living resources, mainly the fisheries is presented. Secondly, the mineral resources are presented and analysed in depth. It includes the search for minerals, petroleum and gas before and after 1979. Furthermore, it includes the development and content of the mineral laws. In this context, the Greenland strategy for mining is presented. Finally, the status on minerals and petroleum resources in Greenland and the Sahara region is presented. Part Four includes the conclusion and the perspectives for ownership and management resources that can be learnt from the Greenland experiences, in particular in the context of the Moroccan Initiative for the Autonomy of the Sahara Region.

Data-driven prosodic feature assignment for diphone synthesisJuel Henrichsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Today's synthetic voices are largely based on diphone synthesis (DiSyn) and unit selection synthesis (UnitSyn). In most DiSyn systems, prosodic envelopes are generated with formal models while UnitSyn systems refer to extensive, highly indexed sound databases. Each approach has its drawbacks; such as low naturalness (DiSyn) and dependence on huge amounts of background data (UnitSyn). We present a hybrid model based on high-level speech data. As preliminary tests show, prosodic models combining DiSyn style at the phone level with UnitSyn style at the supra-segmental levels may approach UnitSyn quality on a DiSyn footprint. Our test data are Danish, but our algorithm is language neutral. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8595 Files in this item: 1

Overcoming Stereotypes and Embracing Ideological VarietyVallentin, Steen (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper makes a contribution towards a more nuanced understanding of the ambiguous and contested relationship between neoliberalism and CSR (corporate social responsibility). It challenges stereotypical depictions of CSR as a neoliberal discourse and argues that there is a need for greater awareness of the varieties of liberalism at play in CSR. The paper is concerned with neoliberalism both in regard to the theory and the practice of CSR. Theoretically, it presents the Foucauldian understanding of neoliberalism and neoliberal governmentality as its primary means of identifying and analyzing processes of neoliberalization. On the practical side, it focuses on the neoliberalization of governmental approaches to CSR. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8689 Files in this item: 1

Christiansen, Thomas U.; Juel Henrichsen, Peter (Aalborg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general "appropriateness" and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating "appropriateness" of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of "appropriateness" for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV's appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV's are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

Gylling, Morten; Korzen, Iørn (Agay, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines some typological differences in the discourse structure of Italian and Danish. The results of the study indicate that there are significant differences in information packing in the two languages, especially in their use of deverbalisation. Italian sentences tend to include a larger number of Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs), especially propositions, than Danish. A higher percentage of these is rhetorically backgrounded by means of non-finite and nominalised predicates. Danish text structure, on the other hand, is more informationally linear and characteristic of a higher number of finite verbs and topic shifts. The study also suggests that a more fine-grained classification of non-finite and nominalised EDUs is needed for a complete in-depth analysis of discourse constraints in different language families.

Game piracy activity vs. metacritic scoreDrachen, Anders; Bauer, Kevin; Veitch, Robert W. D. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment, with stakeholders typically viewing it as a very positive (pirates) or very negative (the industry, policy makers). Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents a large-scale analysis of the illegal distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. A total of 12.6 million unique peers were identified, making this the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. The ten most pirated titles encompass 5.27 million aggregated unique peers alone. In addition to genre, review scores were found to be positively correlated with the logarithm of the number of unique peers per game (p<0.05).

The Case of Copenhagen Business SchoolStenvinkel Nilsson, Ole (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Program QA at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) faces two major challenges; (1) large number of different programs, and (2) decentralized organisation of the program area. CBS has more than 60 programs in the portfolio, each managed by an autonomous Study Board. The paper demonstrates how CBS has addressed these challenges in a quality policy based on two main elements. Standards and Guidelines for day to day quality operations are combined with recurrent 5 year cycle peer reviews of every program. It is demonstrated how optimal use of existing information from various sources can be combined to provide a parsimonious picture of program performance, without putting too much burden on program managers. Both external and internal peer reviewers are used in order to create dialogue, mutual inspiration, increased alignment across programs, and balance between formative development and summative assessment. Early experiences with implementation of the QA system are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8517 Files in this item: 1

Examples like (2) are of particular interest because the correlate (two previous fiances) is inside the antecedent and, consequently, the orphan and the antecedent must interact to produce the interpretation of the clause containing the anaphor. In order to arrive at the interpretation 'you would jilt me', the me of the orphan must take the place of two previous fiances inside the antecedent VP. A superficially similar situation arises with remnants of ellipsis, including pseudogapping (3), sluicing (4), and fragment answers (5). In each case, the interpretation of the ellipsis clause combines part of the antecedent with all or part of the remnant. (3) I wouldn't say that to my mother, but I would to you.

Industry Involvment in the Development of Energy RegulationsGeorg, Susse; Garza de Linde, Gabriela; Schweber, Libby; Sexton, Martin (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The 2002 European Union (EU) directive on the energy performance of buildings (Directive 2002/91/EC) set minimum standards on the energy performance of new buildings and existing buildings. It also indicated that these would be subject to periodic renovation. In some countries the directive supported policymakers in their bid for national commitments to carbon reduction. In others, it affirmed existing commitments. In most countries, it informed the ongoing reformulation of building regulations. This paper explores energy related developments in building regulations for new housing in Denmark (DK) and the United Kingdom (UK). The interest of the comparison lies in similarities in the type of changes introduced into the regulations and differences in industry responses.

Abstract: Cities increasingly brand themselves as an attractive place for tourists, investors, business and workforce. Yet, most place branding efforts do not take the diversity of their stakeholders and the variety of place perceptions into account. Our study, however, reveals significant discrepancies between internal and external stakeholders' mental representations of a place brand, using the city of Hamburg as an example. We therefore argue that place brand management needs to align its brand communication with stakeholders' interests, using an integrated approach to developing city-specific strategies for building target group-specific place brand architecture.

Assorted notes on the metaphysical notion of 'sharing'Schmidt, Kjeld (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In CSCW, phrases such as 'shared goal' or 'shared understanding' are often used to denote what is taken to be a defining feature of cooperative work or at least what is thought to be an essential precondition of the orderliness without which cooperative work in practice is impossible; that is, these terms are used in an explanatory function [e.g., 1; 6]. To take but one example: In one of her articles on 'situation awareness' the muchcited Mica Endsley posits: 'In a smoothly functioning team, each team member shares a common understanding of what is happening on those [Situation Awareness] elements that are common — that is, they have shared situation awareness, which refers to the overlap among the SA requirements of the team members.' However, she prudently adds, 'The concept of shared mental models is not universally heralded' and 'The development of shared mental models has not been the subject of much research' [4, pp. 48, 52 f.]. A 'shared situation awareness'? A 'shared mental model'? What does she mean? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8567 Files in this item: 1

An explorative study of the contracts of the Tender Electronic Daily (TED)la Cour, Lisbeth; Milhøj, Anders (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Public procurement is estimated to constitute more than 16% of GDP in the EU, see e.g. Ramsey (2006). This is one of the reasons why a lot of interest has been attached to this topic. Most of the papers in this field have been of a theoretical nature but during the last ten years also a few empirical studies have become available, see e.g. Marion, J. (2007) and Bajari et al (2008). At the EU level liberalizations have been going on since the late 80'ies (see e.g. the EU commission (1985). Here certain regulations imply that public projects of a certain size need to be subject to a public tender. Again according to Ramsey (2006) around 16% of all public procurement in the EU is subject to these rules and regulations and information on the contracts corresponding to these 16% can be found in Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) database. In general, the hypothesis is that public procurement will increase competition and ultimately lead to cheaper contracts for the authorities, see e.g. Cecchini (1988) for the economic arguments. But in practice: do the rules and regulations ensure more competition? Do they lead to more internationalization in the sense that more foreign firms become contract winners? Do the government and municipalities in the EU countries actually gain economically from the procurement? Does the choice of type of procedure matter? A lot of interesting questions immediately pops up and some of them – but only some of them - may be analyzed based on the content of this data base. Still, due to the large coverage and the international nature of the data base we believe that a thoroughly study of the possibilities of TED is of major interest and the present study is just a first step in this direction. One of the students who extracted the TED data has also used them for analysis in his master thesis, see Bundsgaard (2010). He has, however, limited his interest to analyze the choice of procedure: auction vs. negotiation and therefore our study has a broader scope when it comes to available variables. To our knowledge we are the first group of researchers who begins to analyze the content of this database using explorative statistical techniques based on a broad range of variables.

Abstract: We examine welfare e ects of real-time pricing in electricity markets. Before stochastic energy demand is known, competitive retailers contract with nal consumers who exogenously do not have real-time meters. After demand is realized, two electricity generators compete in a uniform price auction to satisfy demand from retailers acting on behalf of subscribed customers and from consumers with real-time meters. Increasing the number of consumers on real-time pricing does not always increase welfare since risk-averse consumers dislike uncertain and high prices arising through market power. In the Bertrand case, welfare is the same with all or no consumers on smart meters. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8610 Files in this item: 1

Or how the natural environment may qualify as a stakeholder in the firm's business environmentJustesen, Lise; Mouritsen, Jan; Tryggestad, Kjell (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In its general form, stakeholder theory posits an extension of the ecology. It claims that there are other stakes and interests than those posited by shareholder value theory (Freeman et al. 2004; Jensen and Sandström 2011), and some stakeholder theory proponents argue that the natural environment is also to be considered as a stakeholder (Driscoll and Starik 2004; Norton 2007). It is a positive claim – there are more stakes and interests – and a moral one – we should look towards more interests in order to complete the analysis. With this framing, stakeholder theory seeks to identify stakes and interests which may be difficult but in principle achievable; it also seeks to make analysis of organized activity such as (global) business into a concern with the relative power of stakes and interests. These concerns are highly relevant but they face the barrier that if stakes and interests are positively there, the analysis becomes static and will pay less attention to both the formation and to power-effects of stakes and interest.

Refashioning luxury goods through co-creationWolny, Julia; Hansen, Rina (Geneva, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Sustainable fashion in all its guises, has been the preoccupation of many a recent campaign, article, research and initiative. Not only is the industry increasingly aware of the need to cut its environmental impact, but also consumers and consumer organisations are putting pressures on various parts of the supply chain to comply with environmental and ethical practices. Yet, from a management perspective, the economic impact of these demands can lead to conflicting priorities. In particular, the basic marketing concept of product lifecycle indicates the product's gradual diminishing monetary returns through time. In this paper we will be analysing a case of a refashioning of products that are either obsolete or unsalable and making a commercially viable collection. In 2008 MCM collaborated with the London College of Fashion to reuse, recycle and redesign a number of end-of-line, dated handbags into new objects of desire with a new lifecycle. This case will form a basis of analysing the validity of such a product re-development tactic for other luxury brands. The paper will provides a blueprint for future re-fashioning initiatives by reflecting on the value inherent in the process for both users and firms alike. The paper contributes to the understanding of recycling and sustainable fashion from a theoretical perspective that links together the product lifecycle, co-creation and value creation theories. The main theoretical implication of the work concerns the framing of recycling and refashioning with the context of those linked concepts.According to this contribution, refashioning can enable value creation from obsolete products, especially if a co-design with consumers or users forms part of the proposition. On the managerial side, this study recognisees the economic drivers of business and highlights the commercial, not only environmental and societal benefits of recycling within the luxury sector. The recycled products stand in direct opposition to counterfeiting, which is evident in the uniqueness for refashioned products leading to the development of new objects of desire.

CPH Kids and Danish Children's FashionCsaba, Fabian Faurholt; Larsen, Frederik (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: During the Copenhagen Fashion Week A/W 2010, CPH Kids opened as the first independent trade fair for children's clothing. Despite considerable resistance, the fair managed to establish itself and challenge the established order by providing a venue devoted fully to children's clothing and luring away exhibitors and visitors looking for change. In this paper, we analyze the dynamic development and distinctive traits of the children's clothing sector symbolized at the new fair. Our study contributes to inquiry into the role of fairs and festivals in the creative industries by examining the special case of coinciding, competing trade fairs. We introduce and build on three closely related, but in our view complementary, concepts applied and developed in analyses of festivals, trade shows and other kinds of temporary, usually competitive events, namely tournament rituals, field configuring events and tournaments of value. We establish the common ground of the three approaches, particular their assertion of the rich research potential and vital significance of festivals, fairs and similar events for many fields, whether deemed creative or not. We also single out particular strengths of each approach, which inform our inquiry.... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8238 Files in this item: 1

Crafted At | Mythril Anvil |
- While swinging this item, you cannot turn around but you can "Moonwalk" (walk backwards while swinging), similar to the War Axe of the Night, The Breaker, and several other items.
- In the Underground Hallow, there exists a Enemy called Enchanted Sword which looks exactly like this.
- In the Console Version, this is the second-strongest sword in the game, behind Tizona.
- The sword's name comes from Arthurian legend, in which Excalibur is the sword of King Arthur with supposed magical properties, which is either pulled from (an anvil on) a stone or given to him by the Lady of the Lake.
- Excalibur is said to be the holy sword of the gods. This is reinforced by the fact that the sword in-game is a Hallowed weapon.
- In the economical sense, making and selling copies of Excalibur is not a viable method to make money, as Souls of Might are worth 2 a piece (With a full 20 being needed to make the sword - full value of 40 ), whereas the sword is only worth 4 60 . That's a profit loss of 88.5% on the Souls alone, which is quite considerable.
Update InfoEdit
- Added to the game.

This guide that I have written is about installing VMWare Workstation 6 with 3D support.
That means that you will be able to install a Windows OS on a virtual machine with the ability to play games.
First of all, you need a license/activation key for VMWare Workstation. This can be done by buying the product. Other means of acquiring a license key are considered illegal and are not discussed here. Same goes for the Windows OS.
Considering that you have obtained a license for VMWare Workstation 6, and if you haven't already downloaded it, you can get it here: http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/newstore/wkst6_eval_login.jsp
From that location you can register a 30-day trial of the product. But of course, you can insert your license key to disable the trial and have it with full functionality.
NOTE: You need to be registered as a VMWare user. You can register as one, it does not cost anything.
You need to download the source for VMWare Workstation 6, meaning VMware Workstation 6.0 - 32-bit(.tar) => VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386.tar.gz (or the other one for 64 bit users)
Next, you need to disable Beryl or any other managers that require 3D such as Compiz etc.
This can be done by logging out and select Acceleration Manager as Session and logging as root.
Choose No Acceleration then reboot the system.
To make sure that you're good to go, open a terminal and say:
- Code: Select all
glxinfo | grep direct
If Direct Rendering shows Yes, you're gold.
Next you need to do the install itself. Untar the source into a temporary directory (I assume you know how to do that!).
Assuming you've untared the contents into
- Code: Select all
- Code: Select all
cd ~/temporary/vmware-distrib
At one point, the installer may or may not ask you for the init directories, meaning rc0.d to rc6.d. Gentoo-like distros, meaning Sabayon too, don't have these.
So do this in a new terminal shell, NOT as root:
- Code: Select all
cd ~
mkdir etc
cd etc
mkdir rc0.d rc1.d rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d
Then in the installer you can specify the path /home/USER/etc if it asks you for your init directories.
NOTE: Replace USER with your username (case sensitive)
Then you can start VMWare.
NOTE: That it's not recommended to have both VMWare Server and Workstation installed. If possible, leave only Workstation installed, it's better.
After starting VMWare, you can insert your license key. The process is fairly simple, I believe you'll do just fine.
Now you need a Windows OS. Prefferably XP as it is the latest Windows OS that can be installed problemlessly. Any version below is quite old and useless and Vista uses too much memory and it'll lag more than Counter-Strike on 10 kbps.
Ok, after slashing the CD in the drive, click Create a new virtual machine, continue, select Windows XP Professional or Home or etc., continue until it asks for networking. I recommend NAT for easiest and most problemless use. Now allocate around 12 or more GB for the drive, select allocate all disk space now and deselect split into 2 GB files.
Then click Edit to edit the machine's attributes and go to Memory. Now set the memory to Maximum recommended memory, shown by a blue triangle. As said there, if you allocate more memory than this, memory swapping may occur, specially in an installation etc. and it will not be pleasant for the host (sabayon).
You may also want to check the other fields. If you have a multi-core processor, like a Core 2 Duo (Intel), choose to have 2 processors.
All the others should be fine.
Now start the machine and tap F2 until the BIOS comes up and go to boot order (you'll probably figure it out, it's not that hard) and page up until removable drives (which includes cdrom) is the top. Then you can save and exit, rebooting the virtual machine.
Now you can install Windows (which isn't really a delightful experience, boring is the word rather). Install a fresh copy. At the partitioning screen, make only 1 partition and make it NTFS normal partitioning. And now you probably know what will happen next. You have to wait about 30-40 (50 on slower machines) minutes until this lame bastard installs it's filthy behind.
The process should be straight forward. You'll do just fine.
In the process of installation, please do a full screen and stop doing anything else (for example chatting or browsing or anything else). Just watch a movie until it finishes.
Assuming you have completely installed Windows and you are now viewing it's desktop. Now click the VM tab in VMWare and select Install VMWare Tools.
This will pop an installer in the guest and start installing the VMWare Tools.
While it's installing, it's good ideea to click the Edit tab >> Preferences >> Input and deselect (if selected) Ungrab when cursor leaves screen.
After VMWare Tools finishes installing, shutdown the virtual machine and close VMWare Workstation 6.
Then point your file manager to /home/USER/vmware/YOUR_VIRTUAL_MACHINE_NAME/ and open YOUR_VIRTUAL_MACHINE_NAME.vmx with a text editor and add the following lines at the bottom:
- Code: Select all
mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
vmmouse.present = "FALSE"
It's also a good ideea to set the video RAM. You must specify the value in bytes! The maximum value is 128 MB (134217728 bytes) so you guys that have GPUs with over 256 MB will not use them Tough luck.
As I was saying, you should specify the VRAM this way:
- Code: Select all
svga.vramSize = 134217728
You can also put any value lower than 134217728 bytes if you have a lesser performance card. Just be sure the number is dividable by 2, by 4 and by 1024.
Now you can start the virtual machine. If you DON'T get any error popping out in the lower right corner of the screen complaining about 3D, then you're good to go.
Now open Windows, and in the process bar, you should have the VMWare Tools icon, open that and select the option that says something about time sync between host and guess.
Assuming you have a LEGAL copy of Windows, you can point your browser at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/sear ... tegoryid=2 and download DirectX 9.0c End User Runtime.
If you can't install that one, most game installers have DirectX 9.0 included in the installer.
Right now, you should have 3D working.
If you don't believe me, you can open dxdiag and test the 3D.
-3D running in a VM
-You can run almost any application right from your linux box
-You can play games. Most games that support DX9 / DX8 work. DX10 requiring games like Halo 2 will have no chance. You need Vista for that shiz.
-Because it is a virtual machine, it will be slower than if you would run the same thing on a normal machine.
-Mouse lagging if CPU too loaded or memory too loaded.
-Small freezes if you really load it too much.
NOTE: This procedure can also be used in a Windows copy of VMWare Workstation, meaning you can install a Linux guest system AND be able to run Beryl/Compiz/etc.
NOTE: There is a possibility that DirectX9 won't work, only DX8. You should run the 3D test in dxdiag. If DX7, DX8 and DX9 look the same and work, then all is good, if DX9 looks like a grey cube spinning in a clipping black/white environment or any other artifact, it's not good.
If this happens, the best thing to do is install different versions of DX9 until, hopefully, you get it right.
NOTE: There is a possibility that an error might occur, a crash, lagging, frame drop, stuttering etc.
This is normal! It's a virtual machine.
With all these being said, I hope you have fun with this and don't forget to post some feedback!

A complex east of Havre is attracting motor-sports enthusiasts from around the state and across the border, and only shows signs of growing.
"We've had people from across the mountains come for the mud runs and the sand drags," said Roxana Mangold, who owns the Lohman Motorsports Complex with her husband, Bill Mangold.
The complex is busy through the summer, and is hosting an Auto Moto Xcross, or AMX, competition on Sept. 4, following an Aug. 28 competition in Lewistown.
The Mangolds opened the Lohman complex in 1999, originally for motorcycle clubs to use, Roxana Mangold said. They decided to add a mud run track that same year, and have now expanded to include sand drags - drag races on a dirt track - and AMX racing - automobile racing on a dirt track with curves, jumps and bumps.
"We did it to try to help motor-sports enthusiasts," Mangold said.
The mud runs have probably had the largest audiences - Mangold said there were more than 1,000 people at the September 2003 mud runs - but the Mangolds didn't start the track to make money.
"We did it, more or less, to put a playground in. It's a playground for little kids to grownups," she said.
The track is also used for practice by motorsports enthusiasts throughout the year, including young riders and racers.
The people who operate Lohman Motorsports Complex organized Motor Mania at the Great Northern Fair this year, which included sand drags and the Motorcycle Rodeo for young riders.
Several of the competitors in the rodeo said they practice regularly at the Lohman complex. Tanner Shipp, age 4, of Havre said riding at the track is his favorite thing to do with his 50cc motorcycle.
"It's lots of fun," Shipp said.
Larry Nitz of Havre said he started racing this year because of the Lohman track. His son, Jason Nitz, persuaded him to come to an AMX race there in June, Larry Nitz said.
"I'd never seen that kind of racing before, so I kind of got hooked on it," he said. "My son decided for me that we were going to build a race car."
With a little extra work, Nitz, his sons, wife and several friends got a car ready for his first race, at Lohman on July 24.
The car had to be specially prepared for Nitz, who is a paraplegic.
"I use hand controls, which I use every day," he said.
He uses them well. Nitz took a first with his Ford Escort station wagon in the mini-stock category at Lewistown on July 31.
Bobby Vanek of Havre said he is from Lewistown, where motocross is a major sport and where the Auto Moto Xcross Association is based. He appreciates having a track close to Havre.
"You don't have to travel all the time," Vanek said.
The Lohman complex is one of three tracks affiliated with Auto Moto Xcross, where competitors can earn points in an annual AMX competition. The other two tracks are at the Fergus County Fairgrounds in Lewistown and the Phillips County Fairgrounds in Dodson.
Administration of the events at the Lohman complex are split between organizers: Tony Dolphay organizes the AMX races, the Mangolds do the mud runs and Curt Wood and his wife, Carol Bachini-Wood, handle the sand drags, Roxana Mangold said.
She said the people involved in the different events at the Lohman complex meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. in Northwinds Athletic Club in Havre.
People from up and down the Hi-Line are involved in the events, Mangold said.
"We have close to 30 or 40 people involved who volunteer their time," she said.
Dolphay said organizing the events takes work. Running the AMX races includes lining up flaggers and safety personnel, handling registration the day of the races, setting up technical inspections and more.
The turnout hasn't been high for the AMX races so far this year, the first full season at Lohman. Dolphay said the track was lucky to have 20 cars at an event, but he hopes to have more for the final race, and in the following seasons.
"Our last race of the season I expect to see 35 cars," he said.
The attendance is likely to increase, as it has in Lewistown over the last 11 years, Dolphay said.
"I would say it's starting to grow," he said. "I think everybody's going to start coming to it. As we get more cars built up here on the Hi-Line, it's going get more people involved."
Vanek said the same.
"It's a very big event at Lewistown, but it started out about the same," he said. "The more people find out about it, the more people will come."
Mangold said that as more people find out about the different events at Lohman, more will attend.
"It's a good afternoon of entertainment," she said.
Nitz, who has been a paraplegic since he was injured working for Montana Power Co. in 1983, is glad he discovered AMX racing.
"It's essentially a poor man's dream as far as racing goes," he said. "I have always been interested in racing. I didn't believe I would ever be able to race."
He said it took very little investment to start racing.
"We started with a $75 car. We've got considerably more into it now," he said.
Nitz estimates getting the car ready to race cost between $2,000 and $2,500.
The racing seems to have evolved from a bump-and-run kind of event, and now the rules don't allow much contact, Nitz said.
"It's skill driving and how fast your car is and how good you are driving it," he said.
The races build camaraderie as well. Dolphay said he regularly attends races with about four or five people from Havre.
It also builds comaraderie among drivers.
"Once they get their own car squared away, they'll probably be over giving you a hand. They might not even know who you are, but they'll be there," Nitz said.

Does anyone know the cheeses of this region and any makers in particular worth visiting? I'm heading south of Bergerac soon for a couple of weeks cheese making at a goats milk dairy (yippee). It wasn't easy to organise though and I don't actually know a lot about the cheeses of the region - does anyone here? I'll have a car for a few days after so want to tour around and possibly visit other makers to learn all I can or at least eat lots of great cheese Any tips and suggestions on who, what and where would be really wonderful. Thanks so much.
Tags: France, cheese, cheesemaking, tour
Sounds like a lot of fun for you Heather! I don't know any cheese makers there but here are some ideas to learn about cheeses of those regions:
Hope this is a helpful start for you.

I thought that since we're wrapping up the summer goals post, it might be a good idea to start one for our goals for the fall/winter/school year.
My goals are:
1. Get my house in order while the kids are at school. I need to get into some sort of cleaning routine.
2. Get my learner's again, and get some practice driving so that I can take my road test
3. Find a way to supplement my income that I can do from home (or mostly)

Despite a strong challenge from a former chairman, Lumbee voters this week re-elected Paul Brooks as the tribe's top elected official.
The race, which also included a third candidate, had been hotly contested and called the "bloodiest" in years by some observers.
Brooks received 2,559, or 52 percent, of the total 4,899 votes cast. Jimmy Goins, who served two terms as chairman, captured 2,042, or 42 percent, of the votes cast, with Lynn Bruce Jacobs, receiving 298, or 6 percent, of the total votes. Results are unofficial until votes are certified.
"I want to thank all of my supporters for getting out and voting despite the dreary weather," Brooks said after the final votes were tallied. "That really means a lot to me. I look forward to working to move the tribe forward through the creation of jobs and education."
Goins could not be reached for comment.
Brooks will now serve as chairman for the next three years. He was elected in November 2011 during a special election to fill the remaining year of former Chairman Purnell Swett's three-year term.
Brooks was elected despite strong opposition from many of the 21-member Tribal Council, whose members say they are frustrated and angry with the chairman's lack of communication and efforts to work with the council. Several watched silently as the election results were shown on a screen at the Lumbee Housing Complex on N.C. 711. One was overheard to say, "God help the Lumbee people over the next three years."
Brooks, as leader of the Lumbee Tribe, recently found himself named in a discrimination complaint filed against the tribe with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The complaint was filed by Ashley Haywood, a former Miss Lumbee. Also named in the complaint were Jimmy Hunt, who on Tuesday lost his bid for a seat on the Tribal Council, and Lumbee Tribe Enterprises.
But of the few who waited for the election returns at the Housing Complex, not all agreed that Goins was the man to lead the tribe into the future. Goins served as chairman from 2004 to 2010, and has come under fire for his involvement with hiring a Las Vegas firm to spearhead federal recognition efforts. Some argue that the association with a gaming firm have killed recognition efforts.
"Jimmy is popular with the people in the area and was popular as a chairman. I voted for him the last time, but this time I'm supporting Paul," said Joel "Garth" Locklear Sr. "I've worked a lot with Paul and he is very astute at getting things done."
According to the tribe's Elections Board chairman, Carvicous Barfield, the voter turnout Tuesday was low for an election year involving a chairman's race. Only 4,899 votes were cast in the chairman's race, a turnout of just more than 15 percent for the tribe, which has just more than 32,000 members eligible to vote.

Two men and two women have been detained for rioting and public order offences following the disorder which broke out on the lower Newtownards Road after a flag protest in the city centre passed off peacefully on Monday night.
Police said violence erupted after a crowd of around 70 nationalist youths from the nearby Short Strand area hurled missiles at the loyalist protestors returning from the demonstration, some of whom chanted sectarian abuse.
"A number of missiles were thrown from the Short Strand area as the crowd of approximately 250 protestors returned to East Belfast," a PSNI statement said.
"Additional police officers responded to support Neighbourhood officers who were already on the ground in the Short Strand in order to deal with a crowd of around 70, mainly youths, that had rapidly gathered."
Police later discharged five baton rounds and used water cannon after they came under attack from loyalist rioters.
Fireworks, bricks and petrol bombs as well as other missiles were thrown at officers in the area and vehicles were attacked with hatchets and sledge hammers.
Barricades were set on fire on the lower Newtownards Road.
An attempted car hijacking in the Templemore Avenue area and an attempted lorry hijacking in the Albertbridge Road area have been reported.
The Newtownards Road and Albertbridge Road have now reopened to traffic.
I don't want young people being dragged back into a world where their only aspiration is violence.PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott
I don't want young people being dragged back into a world where their only aspiration is violence.
PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott
PUP leader Billy Hutchinson told UTV Live Tonight: "Once again tonight there were attacks from Short Strand and the police didn't prevent those from happening."
He said he would be seeking more information from police.
"I want to ask the chief constable for a security briefing in terms of who is involved in the violence in Short Strand. This violence came about more than once this week.
"Is this being carried out by republican paramilitaries? Of what shade?" Mr Hutchinson asked.
Alex Maskey, Sinn Féin MLA for South Belfast, described the latest violence as "very unfortunate".
"Because we have the street disorder and heavy violence in that area over the last number of days, it's bound to spill over and I want to see all of us appealing for calm heads and mature heads."
This was the fifth consecutive night of trouble in east Belfast, which PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott believes is being orchestrated by senior members of the UVF.
"I fear that we will have a generation of young people for whom violence becomes the norm again. And that brings enormous sadness," Mr Baggott told UTV's Sharon O'Neill.
"We need to have a generation who are benefitting from the peace."
Meanwhile disorder also broke out in Dundonald where police have been attacked with petrol bombs, fireworks and other missiles.
A car was also set on fire at nearby Bute Park.
Police maintained a presence in the Upper Newtownards Road area after calm was restored on Monday night.
All roads that were closed to traffic have reopened following the disturbances.
Earlier there was a heavy police presence in the city centre as around 400 loyalist protestors gathered at City Hall. Following the demonstration, they walked around the building to police lines and back to the front before dispersing.
Donegall Square East, South and West were closed to traffic for a time but have now reopened.
The protest coincided with Belfast City Council's first full meeting since it passed a motion to restrict the flying of the Union Flag at City Hall.
At a council meeting in December, a majority of representatives voted to reduce the number of days the flag is flown.
It was followed by weeks of protests and rioting in which 62 police officers have been injured.
Around 100 people were arrested and 73 charged in the last month.
The issue of flag was not listed on Monday night's council agenda, however councillors discussed it.

With so many localities struggling to make ends meet as they prepare for Fiscal Year 2012-2013, Hillsville seems to be doing just fine.
In presenting the upcoming budget, Town Manager Larry South pointed out that there are no new fee or tax increases planned for citizens within town limits. Additionally, if this budget is approved, proposed water and sewer rate increases will be tabled for another year.
"It is a pleasure to present a proposed budget with no fee or tax increases," South wrote in his budget message. "This proposal also recommends that the second proposed water and sewer rate increase presented in last year's budget be delayed until the next fiscal year when it will be reviewed again. Our fund balances in those funds should cover our shortages in the short term. Each of us, I hop, understand how important it is that we take as little as possible from our businesses and citizens so that they may use their resources to continue to grow, hold their own, or in some cases, just survive. Certainly, given the cost of fuel, food, labor, supplies and medical expenses, it is difficult at home and at the business area."
Hillsville enters the budget season with a fund balance of $532,869. By using $166,920 in fund balance to help cover the water and sewer rate shortfall, the town projects a June 30, 2013 fund balance of $365,949, which is 12.5 percent of the proposed General Fund expenditures. South wrote that the figure falls in acceptable levels of fund balance.
One area in which figures are adjusted to reflect a change in Richmond policy relates to the VRS retirement plan.
"The General Assembly has thrown us a curve," South wrote. "It appears that the town can no longer pay the 5 percent employee portion of our employees' retirement contribution. The employee must pay it; therefore, we have added a 5 percent salary increase to cover this and reduced the town's contribution in a like amount. This will, however, increase both taxes for the employee and payroll taxes for the town, since it is now shown as salary, a curious move by our folks in Richmond."
In addition to the 5 percent increase to cover VRS costs, town employees will also receive a one-step cost of living pay increase. Other inclusions fund an additional police officer and the completion of the E. Grayson Street sidewalk project.
The proposed General Fund budget for the Town of Hillsville calls for $2,941,429 in revenues, down from the 2011-2012 figure of $3,092,583.
The 2012-2013 water operating fund budget is a projected $1,325,788, which is slightly down from the 2011-2012 total of $1,339,463. The recommended sewer fund is $1,160,521, which is down from $1,317,506 currently.

Election 2012 Reports
"Native Americans across the country have unique issues that deserve coverage by mainstream media. Through this initiative, we will work with American Indian/Alaska Native journalists in the coverage of issues important to Tribal people."
-- Shirley K. Sneve, NAPT Executive Director
Video Blog: How Did Native Americans Impact the 2012 Election?
Video Blog: A Look at the Election
The Native Vote in Montana
Mark Trahant reports from the Fort Belknap Agency, Montana.
Denise Juneau, a member of the Mandan and Hidatsa Tribes of North Dakota, is the first American Indian woman to win a statewide election. After four years in office, she is now running for re-election as Montana's Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Seven Democratic candidates in Montana traveled across the state this week, some 1,700 miles, visiting Indian reservations along the way. The tour included U.S. Senator Jon Tester, candidates for governor, attorney general, as well as the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Denise Juneau.
Powering Montana's Native American Vote:
The Native American vote has become an important part of the electorate. Native Americans make up about 8 percent of Montana, roughly 6.5 percent of all voters. A number that has been increasing since 2004.
The Native Vote in Nebraska
As Native voters on the Great Plains begin to pay closer attention to this year's election campaign, environmental issues are on the agenda along with the economy and jobs.
Bill Kelly reports from Lincoln, NE
Native American Voters Share Concerns About Economy And Education:It's not easy to convince people at the Winnebago Tribe Powwow to talk about politics and the upcoming election. It's not only talking over the steady, infectious rhythm of the drum groups performing in the dance circle. There's often a sense that Native people get left off the radar of the people campaigning for office. In fact, if there's something everyone agrees on, regardless of political philosophy, it's that candidates need to make a swing through the reservation more often.
Making Sure the Native Vote Counts
Campaign strives to ensure "Every Native Vote Counts":
The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) has officially kicked off an effort to have the largest Native American voter turnout in history during this election cycle.

Three Under-the-Radar Designer Collabs You May Have Missed
Designer collaborations are a dime a dozen these days—but without the tons of pre-launch press that accompanies major team-ups like Maison Martin Margiela x H&M, Prabal Gurung for Target and Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's, it's easy for certain collabs to slip right under our radar. Which is a shame, because many of them are really, really amazing.
To wit, we're sharing three current and upcoming joint design ventures we're majorly excited about. Two are currently shoppable, while the third drops on November 29. Click through to learn more!

What Is Abuse?
- Abuse is inflicting harm, or failing to act to prevent harm. It is an offence to fail to act.
- Children may be abused in a family or an institutional or community setting, by those known to them or more rarely by a stranger.
The signs of child abuse
Physical: for example hitting, shaking or throwing. Signs such as hand slap marks, bruising, bite marks, burns or scalds. This also includes deliberately causing or falsely reporting ill health of a child.
Emotional: where a child is persistently made to feel inadequate, unloved, unwanted, frightened, exploited or corrupted.
Sexual: involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities. It doesn't matter whether or not the child is aware of what is happening. The abuse may involve the child being exposed to, seeing or participating in inappropriate sexual activity, physically or via the media or internet.
Neglect: the persistent failure to meet a child's basic rights to adequate food, shelter, clothing and medical care. Neglecting to respond to a child's basic emotional needs. Prolonged or regular exposure to domestic abuse has a serious impact on a child's development. When a child is not directly abused they will almost certainly suffer short or long-term psychological trauma from having witnessed abuse.
The Policy and Procedures for safeguarding children in Birmingham are available for everyone to download from the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board web site:

NEWBERRY — It was a hard night for Newberry and Whitmire as they took losses on Thursday.
In the first match, Swansea defeated Newberry 52–29 and in the second match Newberry defeated Whitmire 42-20. Whitmire also lost to Swansea.
The winning wrestlers for Newberry were Davon Powell, Jacob Hopper, Collin Roton, Ernest James, Eric Gallman, Jaquevis Harmon and Hunter Johnson.
This was a night of forfeits for Whitmire with several wrestlers out of the starting line-up due to injuries, which made for a close head-to-head match with Whitmire and created a very tough situation to get out of against Swansea, said Newberry coach Kyle Cannon.
"The match of the night versus Swansea was Collin Roton who was able to pull out a victory in overtime, scoring a take down to end the match 30 seconds into overtime," said Cannon. "The match of the night versus Whitmire was again Collin Roton versus Austin Amick (Amick has been a part of the Newberry wrestling team all year; however, due to a recent move he now lives in Whitmire and the two guys who just weeks ago were teammates were pitted against each other) in the end Collin did lose to Amick, but just a very unique situation to deal with for both wrestlers."
Newberry High also celebrated senior night and honored Hopper and Gallman.
Hopper's parents are Gene and Amy Hopper. He still holds an undefeated individual record on the season 22-0, he is working hard as we prepare for the 1A/2A Individual Upper State Championships on Feb. 15 and 16, Hopper finished fourth in the state last year and has his goal set on finishing first this year.
Gallman has a season record of 9-1. The only reason he has so few matches is he missed first half year due to participating in the Shrine Bowl; he also is working hard as the team prepares for the 1A/2A Individual Upper State Championship.
"I feel as though he has an excellent chance to qualify for the state championships," said Cannon.
Newberry has an even 11 -11 dual record for the season.
"We have the 1A/2A Individual Upper State Championships on Feb. 15 and 16 at Liberty High School, whoever finishes in the top four places in their individual weight class will then qualify for the Individual State Championships on Feb. 22 and 23 at the Anderson Civic Center," said Cannon
