On this web page you'll find further information regarding the two oral language tests at respectively A1-level and A2-level for spousal reunification. You can also see two examples of the tests.
As a general rule, foreigners who have been granted family reunification as a spouse must pass an oral Danish language test at A1-level (Danskprøve A1) within six months of being registered in the National Register of Persons. If you are already a legal resident of Denmark on other grounds, you must pass the test within six months of being granted family reunification as a spouse. Passing the test is required for further residency and for a reduction (DKK 20.320 – 2013-level) of the amount of collateral required to be posted by your spouse or partner.
Furthermore, foreigners who have been granted residency in Denmark based on spousal reunification can pass an oral Danish language test at A2-level (Danskprøve A2) within 15 months of being registered in the National Register of Persons in order to obtain a further reduction (DKK 10.160 – 2013-level) of the amount of collateral required to be posted by your spouse or partner. If you are already a legal resident of Denmark on other grounds, you must pass the test within 15 months of being granted family reunification as a spouse. Passing the Danskprøve A2 is not required for further residency.
If you take the Danskprøve A1 before the six-month deadline, or the Danskprøve A2 before the 15-month deadline, but fail to pass, you will be granted an additional three months to pass the test.
Certain other tests can be taken instead of the Danskprøve A1 or the Danskprøve A2. You can see the full list of approved alternative tests here (bilag 1 and 2 – in Danish).
Below you can see an illustrative example of respectively Danskprøve A1 and Danskprøve A2.
Please note that these examples are not identical to the actual test you're going to take. Still, the examples illustrate the content, language level, and task types of the tests.
You can find further information on the tests and their content, structure etc. in the information packet (in Danish) regarding Danskprøve A1 and Danskprøve A2.
Example of Danskprøve A1 (click on the picture to start the playing):
You need a browser that can handle Iframes to be able to view this page.
Example of Danskprøve A2 (click on the picture to start the playing):
Danskprøve A1 and Danskprøve A2 are oral Danish language tests and any writing skills are thus not required when taking the test. Each test contains 30 questions and you must answer at least 21 questions correctly in order to pass the test.
The tests are conducted by a computer-based test system, but you are not required to operate the computer, mouse, or keyboard yourself. You will be placed in front of the computer - with headphones on: The computer will ask you questions via the headphones and you answer via the microphone connected to the headphones.
You can take the tests at Vestegnens Sprog- og Kompetencecenter in Glostrup. The tests are held all year round.
At the level A1 you understand and are able to use familiar expressions related to everyday life and other very basic expressions. You are able to present yourself and others and can ask as well as answer questions about personal matters, regarding for instance where you live, people you know, and things you possess. You are able to engage in a very simple conversation provided the other person talks slowly and clearly.
The A2-level is considerably higher than the A1-level. At the A2-level you are able to engage in a relatively simple conversation and understand basic information on specific and common matters of everyday life such as – for instance – very basic information on personal and family matters and shopping.
If you have been granted residency in Denmark based on spousal reunification, you are normally entitled to Danish language courses free of charge under the Law on Danish language courses for adult foreigners and others. You are normally entitled to up to three years of Danish language courses. The Law on Danish language courses for adult foreigners and others covers almost all newly arrived foreigners and thus not only foreigners who have obtained residency on the grounds of spousal reunification.
It relies on the municipality to offer Danish language courses to newly arrived adult foreigners. You therefore have to contact your local municipality to learn more about the Danish language course offer.
You can read more about Danish language courses for newly arrived adult foreigners here (in Danish).
You can learn more about the rules on spousal reunification and Dansk-prøve A1 and A2 on the immigration authorities' website www.newtodenmark.dk.
On this website you'll also find information on how to register for the tests, how you apply for spousal reunification etc.
You can also find further information on the tests and their content, deadlines for passing the tests, registration for the tests etc. in the information packet (in Danish) regarding Danskprøve A1 og Danskprøve A2.

I have it: 204 I had it: 61 I want it: 225 My signature: 6
Jeanne Lanvin is launching a new fragrance Jeanne Lanvin Couture presented as a new interpretation of the original perfume Jeanne Lanvin with a sophisticated composition, refined nuances and sophisticated woody base. The new fragrance highlights femininity and style and uses its seductive composition to accentuate elegance characteristic of the house of Lanvin.
Jeanne Lanvin Couture is available in an elegant flacon in violet shades with a decorative ribbon on the neck of the flacon, also in violet. Game of violet shades is iridescent, from dark to pale, almost transparent violet, accentuating outlines of the flacon very clearly.
Top notes of the composition provide juicy and tasty raspberry accords, refreshed with morning dew and natural shades of violet leaves. A heart of the composition is sexy ad very sensual, composed of peony flowers and magnolia essences from Laboratories Monique Rémy.
Cedar accords are the ground of the composition and they provide unique sensibility mixed perfectly with musk. The composition was created with an aim to have an innocent facade hiding a strong and sensual blend of musk and wood.
The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100ml EDP and will be on the market from April 2012. Perfumer is Domitille Bertier.
Perfume rating: 3.70 out of 5 with 357 votes.

Another shampoo-ey scent out there.
Raspberry is very prominent as it is in lots of shampoos. A bit disappointed in the house of Lanvin.
I find this perfume nice. But nothing special about it.
Good for casual or office use. Inoffensive whatsoever.
Longevity is 3-4 hours.
Silage is soft, close to the skin.
I got this completely wrong. Did not think it was aquatic or fruity at all but of course now the notes make sense. I tried this on and misinterpreted the raspberry as rose, freesia and citrus.
Now that I think of it, it is aquatic in a lovely watery flower way, nice and fresh, with elegant woods. Reminds me of eclat d'arpege, in fact I would happily wear one or the other. Pretty and elegant, think this is designed for the asian market to be honest.
Very nice, decent sillage & longevity. Thumbs up from me.
This one is very fruity but still quite nice (I'm not a huge fan of fruity perfumes). For some reason it has no longevity on me however. After just one hour or two I can barely smell it even if I put my nose right up to my skin. So I wouldn't buy this one again. I will use up my 50 ml bottle however.
Very fruity with a bit of flowers. Almost like a raspberry jam. It's hard to tell if it's good or bad for a perfume. For sure it is quite natural type of scent. I like it, but I wonder if I'd like to smell so linear, like a basket of freshly picked, wild raspberries.
Received as a gift, nice and easy to wear scent. Not a typicaI "purple scent" as I usually match the colour purple with some mistery. Had the original Jeanne version as well, but all in all I preferred this as I could detect a bit more spicy undertone on me. The raspberry is a bit too heavy right after sraying but it dries down nicely, but still I miss something from it to be perfect. I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't buy it again.
I am really bad at describing smells, but I had to review this. I strongly prefer gourmand fragrances, oriental floral that are really sweet, like Euphoria or Gucci Guilty. This fragrance is nothing like that, is really different but now I like it. I would say that I mostly smell flowers and some aquatic scent. The dry down is woodsy and kind of "green". On my skin this reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, but with more flowers. The smell is sweet and fresh at the same time but is not as sweet as a gourmand and it has not vanilla/ambar smell. It's really femenine and I would recommend this to be worn on the day time. It has a good staying power and great sillage. I have smelled things like this before but is not the most common fragrance in the world so people will notice you and remember you for this.
smelling directly from the nozzle, i immidately think of how similar this smells like Amethyst Lalique, and later and to a lesser degree Midnight Rose. The reason is of course berry.
Upon application, difference can be told about these three fragrance. Lalique is dry and powderly. It is like an expensive new blackcurrant soap bar. Mid-night Rose is very juicy fruity. The berry is so juicy there that it is also sticky. In both Lalique and Mid night Rose, i feel berry note dominates throughtout.
In Jeanne Couture, berry is not dominates, it is a berry encroached by some bitterness and there is some cool undercurrent. It is like a strong character under the guise of an ordinary, pleasant and easy going girl.
In cooler day, berry in Jeanne Couture would be more noticeable and sweeter.
At first spray, I smelled grapefruit and roses. Strangely neither of these scents are listed as notes in this perfume. Jeanne Couture smells like grapefruit and Stella by Stella McCartney. Eventually the bitter citrus goes away and the beautiful rose and musk remains.
I wanted to give this time before I review it. I think this perfume is either love or hate. For me is hate.
I hate how there's only violet leaf and raspberry. It's artificially sweet & bitter in same time! I feel like there is a beautiful scent hiding between these two extremes, and they wont let it develope!! :(
i bought this by accident, because it was marked down and i got excited and didn't see the "couture" on the box. anyway, the good news for me is that jeanne couture is really nice.
at first spray, it smells like lancome midnight rose with a smidge of pine, but the dry down reminds me more of body shop dewberry. i swapped my midnight rose because it gave me a headache even though i loved the scent, so this is a win for me because i get midnight rose without the hangover.
I tested this and Lanvin ME. They seem very similar to each other. I don't know why. Maybe it is because they both don't work on my skin.
For the first step ,you feel a little bitter and even unpleasant note, maybe because of the violet leaves on the top notes. But it's better not to judge it too soon because After 15 minutes it gets so good. I think it's a little masculine .It has a dark mystery side that I love this part , it's different , special , and a very good occasion for the fall season. It lasts perfect especially when uses on the clothes.
Terrible,no actual note, but there was only powder, not perfume but like talc in the air.
I'm not a fan of the berry notes in this fragrance and i do not think it smells like Midnight rose either.
I love this perfume so much. I wear this perfume everyday. Even when i go to sleep, i also wear this perfume. Love the smell so much. It smells like raspberry in the pines forrest. Sweet but misterious. I bought 3 bottles 100 ml this year and also 3 mini perfumes of this Jeanne Couture.
The beginning of jeanne and midnight rose is slightly similar but the drydown completely different. I sprayed them on each hand and lanvin remains light and fresh while m.rose becomes very sweet. I prefer this lanvin.
This is a lovely scent full of berries and flowers. There is tenderness and a little bit of sweetness in this scent.
This is the better than midnight rose though
I love this scent is really fresh blackcurrant smell, but best in the summer, not enjoying quite so much now its gone colder, managed to find this half price.
Would like to get Tresor Midnight Rose for winter as I think this smells best in colder weather but waiting in hope that I can get it on offer as its expensive
This scent changes its nature according to the temperature. In the summer it's a cool, refreshing berry lemonade (not bought in a shop, but home made from fresh gathered berries). Now, it's autumn here, and this scent reminds me the scent of a cup of fresh made, hot raspberry- black currant (stems, leaves and berries) tea - warming, comforting, bringing back the memories of the sunny, careless summer days.
This is stronger than Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose (which I find too watery), deeper, darker. The more it dries down, the more pronounced the berry note is (I guess, the cedar reinforces those berry-flower notes). Fresh, crisp, deliciously sweet, innocently tempting (yes, this does exist!) and feminine. I'm sniffing my wrist all the time. :)
Berries, a smattering of magnolia petals and a dash of violet leaves, all floating on a watery base. Fruity without being cloying sweet (with a mild bitter edge, even), floral without smelling like an air freshener and green without being glaringly so.
Midnight Rose? Nah, midnight rose is a very sweet raspberry floral scent. This one is much less sweetly fruity and loud.
At first look I thought this was going to be like "Jeanne" (because of the bottle's shape) but not at all. Generally, I don't like raspberry as fragrance's note. I tried Couture on my skin and at first, I did not like it much. It was OK, but not my scent.
However, an hour later (or two), I definitely started to enjoy it. My chemistry highlighted mostly the peony and musk, together with magnolia. Due to these last two, it reminds me to Escada-Magnetism.
I like the watery touch; it made the fragrance lighter on my skin.
Couture was a nice surprise!
i like it for the gorgeous bottle, very nice
I find it nothing really alike Lancome Midnight Rose, they share some common notes, like berry, musky and rose, but since Midnight Rose is my love, I can just tell the difference between these two right away
to be honest I like Midnight Rose much more, Couture is a bit green and watered down..missing the strength..doesn't have the wow factor Midnight Rose has on me..longevity is weaker as well..personally it just can't compete the beauty of Lancome Midnight Rose
A nice soft berry and violet at top, not reminding me of tresor midnight rose other than a berry start...
Tresor m rose is sweeter stronger and has a lovely pepper note that couture lacks. I love midnight rose too but had to swap it cause I didnt find the right time to wear it.
This is in some ways more innocent for the first half,but has a
lovely mature woody base ! The cedar works beautifully on me
and the flower heart is a nice bridge between the berry top and woody base....
I have set it as my signature now for late spring.
Only complaint could be the name and colour of the bottle that is to me, ,somewhat misleading you...tmakes one think its a heavy evening scent...
To me this is a subtle day scent with a berry twist start.
Well done. Lamvin !
Update...now been wearing it as signature for a while its heart and base resembles Gucci II more than anything else. It works very well as a signaturre - has almost everything fresh start , flowers, warmth, a sweetnes that is appropriate for the blend and a lovely woody base !
I absolutely love this fragrance! I am a fruity-sweet perfume kinda gal and I wanted to wear something different. This is probably the first floral perfume that I like, I love the lavender note and it's very relaxing! I love using it when I know I am going to have a long stressful day! The scent lasts a while on my skin!
I was expecting something different,maybe more couture, this is a berry rich scent, I find it more interesting than the original Jeanne, maybe because it is sweeter, not as plain Jane either , I would add it is a pretty scent, very nice option for spring, sweet but not overly, delicate, not outstanding but I wouldn't mind owning a 30 ml as the prices are overall very acceptable for a pleasant perfume.
I love "Jeanne", so I thought I would like "Jeanne Couture".
I was wrong.
It smells like grass on me, maybe its the violet that I don't like that much.
The bottle is gorgeous, but the scent is so disappointing. :(
I want this perfumes. In my wist list. My friend give me free vial. First time I try it..I fall in love this perfumes. This perfumes like hyponese Lancome. Long lasting 4-6 hour. Good everyday use.
I Love this delicious perfume.
This fragrance is designed to become a new woman's expression Lavin, more inreverent, more sedutive, but always ultra sophisticated.
Is a perfume stolen but note very well notes of violet and musk.
The bottle is very beautiful, even can be used as decoration piece for any woman in the room.
I recommend.
I tested a sample of this new Lanvin fragrance. I really like it, particularly its fruity notes. I don't find it similar to trésor midnight rose at all(trésor midnight rose is a real nightmare on my skin). The list of notes on the sample packaging is more exhaustive than on Lanvin's website.
Here it is : " a new expression of the Lanvin's woman, more audacious, more sensual, more enchanting...The fresh notes of violet leaves associated with raspberry and litchi awake the senses.The pulpy Damson plum magnifies the elegant feminity of magnolia. the woody cedarwood melts into a blend of delicate musks for an extreme sensual feminity ".
I get the raspberry, litchi and plum scents ( loooove plum scent, reminds me of my family's traditonal pies!) but sadely it turns a bit on old-lady scent with the drydown & the lasting power is weak on me. Too bad :(
Fresh is the word I would use to describe this. The drydown is kind of softly woody/grassy. It's nice but nothing we haven't smelled a thousand times before to be honest. It doesn't stand out to me and it won't to most people I think. I'm a fan of perfumes that make more of a statement. But all in all, it's an enjoyable, elegant scent suitable for daywear. It's something you can wear to work for example and be sure that everyone around you will find it pleasant.
It does smell of raspberries. That is to me by far the dominant note. The drydown gets quite creamy and to me more pleasant than the opening
I love it!!! So tasty peonies and violent leaves
This smells like a cheaper version of Tresor Midnight Rose and there is nothing really special about it, but I'm starting to love it anyway. It's not strong, but it lasts all day on my skin. I don't care if other people sense it or not - I can smell it all day and it's a pretty cheerful fragrance. :)
The quality-price ratio is very good. I might buy another one after I finish this bottle.
this reminds me a lot of tressor midnite rose,which I like if I was on my early 20´s, COUTURE it´s like the version of tressor midnite rose for grown ups but notthing old-lady about it.
A softer Parisienne. I'm usually not into fruity florals, but this one has enough musk and woody notes to not be a "Barbie pink" scent. Nice!
There is something intriguing in it, and also something I totally hate. Again, way too much magnolia, yuck, :((((( the flacon is too beautiful, I was really tempted to buy it and learn to like it, but thankfully asked my boyfriend whether he liked it or not and I've never heard a more definitive NO from him lol..
I tried this one a few days ago twice.
I wanted to like it but I don't. Not completely.
I'm quite fed up with all this "berries" as under-family of the fruit baskets. Fruits and candy must be the cheapest notes to be produced, hence the trend-setting. Lanvin Couture is all about astringent berry at the beginning and in that I agree that it seems like Tresor Midnight Rose. I like berries, but you come to a point when you don't want anymore.
It seems to me that different kind of berries are thrown into perfumes to give a twist or acidic effect other than citrus. Is is as if all these berries are children of TBS Dewberry, the pioneer of berries and to my horror I discovered then living in UK that they have flavoured "water" and dishwashing liquid with that same flavour.
When it's too much it kills the blend. My Idylle does contain raspberry, but it's fine with me.
Stop it, please.
Having this strong opening Couture is not a favourite for me, but I tried it anyway and after a while I quite liked it, especially the soft wood basenotes.
Definetely in the line of Tresor Midnight Rose but less intrusive and more lively.
I love this! I could get it cheap too but I don't know if I can finish all my bottles as it is. I still want it! It's so fresh and crisp. All nice and juicy berry fragrance.
But where's blackcurrant and lychee? They are the first things I smell in this perfume and they had been listed in the description they had in the store I tried it. In here they have neither and I am confused!
I can also smell raspberries but it's not as much a raspberry scent as the original. Violet leaf comes out nice and subtle. Makes it a little bit more floral and defined than if it was just plain berries. I didn't smell musk on my skin. Basically the scent stayed the same. It didn't really live and change. Normally I would want that but in this one the top notes are the thing that attract me so I don't mind. Very cheery and chic!
I absolutely love this scent. Every time I where it, someone will stop me to ask what fragrance I have on. It's very feminine and sexy.
I tested it today and I'm disappointed : it smells something like blueberry or black currant and it's too strong for me. I would have like to wear it because Jeanne - Lanvin are nice perfumes but I can't.
The cedar seems to save the day for this fragrance. It starts with a chemically fruity opening which is not appealing at all, and then the cedar accords chime in and create a unique, classy and somewhat refreshing scent. I smell violets as the dominating scent. It's not particularly my cup of tea, but then again I'm an orientals girl.
Fresh and elegant. Bought it today. Smelled great against my skin. Great lasting power too.
I tested it today. It's nice. But not for me. This is the kind of perfume I get crazy about for a week, and then cant stand a week later. It's similar to the escada fragrances. I do like it though, its bright and fruity. Would recommend to young, hyper girls ages 15-20. Very good staying power.
Not as bright , fresh than the original " Jeanne" .
Nice, but a rather pointless flanker (again...)
Another trendy berry bomb, a sister of Lalique Amethyst / Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose. Jeanne Couture is less sweet and juicy than Midnight Rose so it is closer to the Lalique fragrance. In the dry down it begins to remind the regular Jeanne Lanvin.
It is juicy, fruity but in a quite sophisticated way. So much raspberry on me, but it is a little bit ladylike, creamy and not sweet-fruity-gourmand. Nice, because it is yummy, but you don't smell like a picnic basket full of fruits.
I tested it today, for me Couture is fresh,fruity and on my skin quite similar to Lancome`s Midnight rose but less sweet. I think it will be a good choice for summer. The lasting power is decent.

Re: The Great British Baking Show: Meet the Hosts and Judges
I really love this show. Wish baking shows on the Food Network were half as good. I enjoy watching people bake that have been given the time to do a proper job and with no "gotcha" ingredients added at the last minute. Just a great show! I could watch it every week. Thanks PBS/NPT for bringing this to Nashville.

Re: Make Vegan Coconut Banana Ice Cream
You're welcome! Yea the sweetness of bananas tends to vary so you should adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.
Marc Matsumoto
Re: Make Vegan Coconut Banana Ice Cream
Wow, what a great idea and it worked great. It was easy and the coconut was really nice in it. I'm eleven years old and I made it at my aunt's. It was a little too sweet, and I would reccomend doing it in a food proccesser instead, but besides that it was a delightful sweet treat. Thanks for the recipe it was delicious.

SURPLUSSurplus is when the supplies exceed the demand for the supplies.
SUPPLIES > DEMANDWhen there is a surplus, the price will shift downward to the Equilibrium.
to reach the Equilibrium, the supply will move along the frontier left, and the demand will move along the frontier right.
SHORTAGEShortage is when the supplies do not meet the demand for the supplies.
When there is a shortage, the price will shift upward to the Equilibrium.
To reach the Equilibrium, the supply will move along the frontier right, and the demand will move along the frontier left.
EXAMPLE2008, Various weather conditions caused the orange crop to fail, causing the Supply to fall below the current demand. A shortage was declared. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/article/2006/ 10/14/AR2006101400451.html
In 2008, after a particularly rough hurricane season, most of the US orange supply was damaged and weakened. Orange trees were destroyed and the total quantity of Oranges in the U.S. decreased dramatically. Companies Like Coca-cola and Tropicana were forced to import more oranges from Brazil at a higher price. In order to continue making a profit on their products they had to increase the price as well, reducing the quantity demanded. The market is still recovering and fluctuating around the equilibrium.

Beer Business Shooter Was 'Disgruntled': Union Official
We reported earlier on the workplace shooting deaths of nine people, including the gunman who apparently killed himself, at a beer and wine distributorship near Hartford, Conn.
While there was a report that the shooter, an African American employee named Omar Thornton, 34, had complained of racial harassment, a union official tells a different story. Thornton, who was videotaped stealing beer from Hartford Distibutors, was asked to resign, according to Christopher Roos, an official of Teamsters Local 1035.
From the Associated Press:
Union officials say Omar Thornton had worked as a driver for acouple of years and had been called in for a disciplinary hearing Tuesday and asked to resign. He instead opened fire at a warehouse in Manchester...
... Teamsters Local 1035 official Christopher Roos says Thornton was "a disgruntled employee who shot a bunch of people."

Hot answers tagged sql-server-2008-r2
Check if SQLServer performance counters exist in the Performance Monitor. If not, manually rebuild all performance counters running lodctr /R command with administrative priviledges: cd \windows\system32 lodctr /R
Try this on the master database: SELECT name, value, value_in_use, [description] FROM sys.configurations WHERE name like '%server memory%' ORDER BY name OPTION (RECOMPILE); Gives you max server memory (MB) and min server memory (MB)
I think you're looking for alter assembly. From BOL: If the FROM clause is specified, ALTER ASSEMBLY updates the assembly with respect to the latest copies of the modules provided. Because there might be CLR functions, stored procedures, triggers, data types, and user-defined aggregate functions in the instance of SQL Server that are already ...
Go into Management studio, right click the database, Tasks > Shrink > Files. Under File Type, pick the log file. Make sure Release unused space is selected as the shrink action, click OK. As for the shrunken log file growing quickly again, it is probably because you are set to a Full recovery model. Setting it to simple will commit changes immediately and ...
Is there a performance advantage to isolating database logs and data on different volumes (same RAID array) across a SAN?
Putting your log file on a separate volume, even if it's on the same raid, should be better performance than having the data and logs in the same volume. Each volume can only be access through one path at a time on most storage systems. This means that your logs and data would share the same controller port, controller cache, queue depth, and FC switch ...
If the site was attacked via SQL Injection, the only thing that can fix it is fixing the code.
Here's a solution I just found to this old issue: Stop all SQL services Start with -m Run MSSQL Management Studio As administrator If not started as administrator (as I wasn't), then you'll receive the generic an admin is already connect. Instead of saying you can't connect because you aren't an administrator. Another confusing error from Microsoft. I ...
As stated, SQL 2008 R2 no longer adds the administrators group as a SQL login by default. You first have to add the Administrators group as a SQL Server principal. CREATE LOGIN [BUILTIN\Administrators] FROM WINDOWS (or see this article for more information on how to add a login) You can then add that group to the sysadmin role. sp_addsrvrolemember @...
Isn't that the default instance, for which you DO NOT GIVE A NAME IN THE CONNECTION STRING?
It turned out to be very simple. On that fancy download page, http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/, they have links to SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe and SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, which are for their specific platforms only. However, there is a third file, SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe, which can be found here: www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=8b3695d9-...
If Jason's suggestion doesn't work, restart the SQL Instance in single user mode and everyone in the local admin group should now have sysadmin rights so you can get into the system and fix the permissions.
Just start SQL Server with the -f switch, which will start it in a minimal, single-user mode. You should be able to change it back afterwards.
The space actually used by a quorum disk amounts at most to a few kilobytes, not even megabytes. There is really no reason at all to go above the suggested size. That said, creating a LUN and a NTFS volume of a few megabytes in size would be impractical for several reasons; the most common size for quorum disks in my experience is 1 GB, and even that is ...
It's because I was connecting to the SQL Server locally, from the same server that hosted SQL Server. When I connect from another machine on the network, the authentication mechanism used is Kerberos, as expected. SQL Server will always use NTLM if connecting locally. Kerberos is only used if connecting remotely. This post from the SQL Server Protocols ...
Is there a way to create non-R2 databases in an R2 database server? No. Once a database has been attached to a version of SQL server, it can never be re-attached to a previous version, even if the compatibility level stays the same. Am I only stuck with installing the non-R2 SQL server to run side-by-side with my R2 database server? Yes.
If you want to prevent further growing you need to set your database logging to simple (but only if you do Full Backups of your database!). Right click on your database Choose Properties Choose Options Set Recovery mode to simple This will work and is best if your backup schedule is Full Backup every day. Because in such scenario your log won't be ...
IIS and SQL Server have no known incompatibilities, they are just two different services which can happily run on the same machine, provided hardware resources are adequate to support both applications at the same time, and you secure them properly. Actually, Reporting Services used to run on IIS as a web application: it's only with SQL Server 2008 that it ...
What are the versions of your SQL server and your remote monitor machine? If your remote monitor machine is 32 bit and your sql server is 64 bit, perhaps you cannot consume the SQL performance counters remotely. This MSDN link explained the reason.
Try connection to it remotely with PowerShell. This usually requires less resources then a full fledged RDP-session. Example: invoke-command -computername myServer -scriptblock {Get-Process} This way you can get a look at what's running remotely and later on, kill it.
Apparently, your dataset requires no more than 46GB of memory.
You can apply a hotfix directly to a production server - it's your choice. I'd strongly suggest testing it first, myself, and taking a full backup of the system prior to applying it. To do this of course you need to have a test environment and the problem you're trying to fix needs to be one you can work around on the live system while you carry out the ...
Looks like TFS 2010 isn't even supported on Windows Server 2012: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd578592(v=vs.100).aspx. Anyway, an in-place OS upgrade on a server hosting SQL Server and TFS is something I'd really prefer to avoid.
The "R2" suffix in Microsoft-ese stands for "Release 2". Here is a link including the full name expansion. Microsoft also published a list of new features in SQL 2008 R2.
If your database is in full recovery mode then you just need to do the following: Take full backup move drive to standby restore database WITH NORECOVERY so that is stays in "restoring" mode keep ALL log backups from primary and copy them over to standby restore all logs to the standby database WITH NORECOVERY Run SSMS wizard to set up LS jobs If you are ...
If you are running on Enterprise or Datacenter Edition for the operation system, you need to do a few other things. If you are running Windows Server 2003 Standard, you cannot use more than 4 GB of memory, as mentioned by Sim. Here's what you need to do if you're on Enterprise or Datacenter Edition: The /PAE switch must be set in boot.ini: Books Online: ...
The SQL Server process will gradually (running a week or so) take up about 80-90% of the memory so there must be something hogging the server. If I would get a cent every time someone did not read the documentation and asks this question, I would be a billionaire. SQL Server, bya stanmdard configuration, uses ALL AVAILABLE MEMORY AS CACHE. To speed ...
No, SQL 2008 R2 is a completely separate release from 2008, it is not a hotfix or service pack. You must install clean or do an in-place upgrade.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955404 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955499 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
If (as uSlackr points out) you are comfortable moving the content then do this: Bring up your new server, call it MyNewServer (or whatever) with a new IP. Install SQL 2008 R2 on it. Migrate all of your content over (db's, jobs, logins, SSIS, SSRS, cubes, etc) When you're happy that it's good, shutdown the 2005 box Rename the new server with that of the ...

Software Architecture: 2nd European Workshop, EWSA 2005, Pisa, Italy, June 13-14, 2005, Proceedings / Edition 1by Ron Morrison
Pub. Date: 08/05/2005
Publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
The1stEuropeanWorkshoponSoftwareArchitecture(EWSA2004)washeldin St Andrews, Scotland on 21–22 May 2004. The workshop provided an inter- tional forum for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss a wide range of topics in the area of software architecture and to jointly formulate an agenda for future research. We were pleased to continue this forum in EWSA 2005. The importance of software architecture as a fundamental area of software engineeringcontinues togrow.Inaddition todescribingtheunderlyingstructure of software systems, architectures are now being used to model and understand dynamicbehavior.Newareasofstudy,whichhavetheirrootsincontrolsystems, arebeginningtoemerge.The?eldofautonomicsrequiresanunderlyingsoftware architecture to describe the executing computation as does any control system that involves system evolution. The range of papers in EWSA 2005 re?ected both the traditional and new applications of software architecture techniques. EWSA 2005 distinguished between three types of papers: research papers (which describe authors' novel research work), a case study (which describes experiencesrelatedtosoftwarearchitectures)andpositionpapers(whichpresent concise arguments about a topic of software architecture research or practice). TheProgrammeCommitteeselected18papers(12researchpapers,4position papers, 1 case study, and 1 unrefereed invited paper) out of 41 submissions from 20 countries (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Korea, Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA). All submissions were reviewed by at least three members of the Programme Committee. Papers were selected based on originality, quality, soundness and relevance to the workshop. Credit for the quality of the proceedings goes to all authors of papers.

I have a Mac Mini (2007 model) that I'd like to turn into a dedicated Wireless Repeater. I have an additional USB Wi-Fi dongle for this.
I don't have Mac OS installed on it, nor do I want to. I was trying to achieve this by installing Ubuntu Server and setting the network cards and using hostapd and bridge-utils, but I was way over my head and couldn't figure it out.
I'd like to know if there is some complete guide explaining how to completely turn a computer into a dedicated wireless repeater, and/or if there is a distro specially suited for this that I can install on this Mac Mini.

I wonder whether we can formulate the performance of ray-tracing. In my primitive ray-tracer, performance depends on this formula mostly: width x height x number of sampler x (number of objects + number of lights)
So for example, in Pixar or any other big companies, do they follow such formula for performance evaluation. Isn't performance depends on triangle count of the objects? For example if I want to calculate roughly the maximum render time of the frame of 1000x1000 with average 500 objects that consists 5.000.000 triangles, would it be possible?

Obama wins second term
President Barack Obama wins re-election.
President Barack Obama wins re-election.
B: trump is such a small man who feels nothing for anyone other than himself or his evil spawn. This is not a man that has any business even running for the highest office in this country. Aside from all of the stupid things he's said, the names he attaches to people that have done infinitely more than he ever will, he is clueless period. He is a know nothing big mouth talking head, he does nothing but disparage others. This is not a man at all. His whining and comparison of how he has sacrificed is nothing but hyperbole. He is so dumb he hasn't a clue what a sacrifice is. Real sacrifice is something totally foreign to this despicable person. I look forward to his being arrested for treason. Nobody deserves it more than him. Funny, if he were in Russia and committed treason he would already be gone. In N.Korea, he'd be DEAD!!!

This is an unusual and valuable book on food for young children. As its basis is scientifically sound and its presentation practical, it is particularly good for the mother, the teacher, the nutrition worker and the physician. In fact, any one interested in raising "the standards for foods to be fed to children" will find it helpful.
In addition to supplying a large number of menus and recipes, the book covers the problem of child feeding in a more general way. The suggestions for the planning of menus and the preparation and serving of food would indicate that the author has successfully fed large numbers of children and is able to speak authoritatively.
The general plan for feeding children is conservative and well rounded. There are no foods that are emphasized to the exclusion of others, and there is a general recognition that, when necessary, it is possible to substitute

Tegegnework Gettu is the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management. Mr. Gettu previously headed up UNDP Africa in addition to serving as Assistant Administrator of UNDP and Assistant Secretary-General of the UN.
Turning the challenges of sustainable development into opportunity | Tegegnework Gettu
01 Dec 2011
The Rio declaration stated that: "Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development." And that: "The right to development must be fulfilled so as to equitably meet developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations." This message from Rio – that people are at the center of sustainable development – echoes UNDP's focus on advancing human development.
Making human development sustainable is critical for people everywhere. But, as the documents prepared for this preparatory conference show, there are compelling reasons for why this agenda is particularly important for Africa.
Despite the marked improvements in economic growth rates over the last decade, our continent still has the highest proportion of people living in poverty and hunger. The overall conclusion from the 2011 regional MDG report prepared jointly by the African Union Commission, the African Development Bank, the Economic Commission for Africa and UNDP, was that the overall pace of progress towards the MDGs, while picking up steam in the last decade, has not been strong enough to meet the all the targets everywhere by 2015.
But the report also shows that real progress has taken place and that many countries are making strides in advancing human development. This mixture of good—even great—development experiences and celebrated development successes on one hand, and severe vulnerabilities and persistent human tragedy, on the other hand, is a distinctive feature of the state of our continent today.
This is why the agenda for sustainable and equitable development is perhaps even more important today for Africa than it was 20 years ago in Rio.
It is equally important everywhere, but especially in Africa, to pursue the sustainable development agenda giving equal importance to the three pillars of sustainability: environment, economic, and social.
No doubt, environmental sustainability plays a critical role in ensuring the well-being of current and future generations. But the evidence is quite clear: countries that have high levels of human development also have the largest ecological footprint and the highest carbon emissions.
For Africa the implications are particularly dire since the continent today enjoys the lowest level of human development but will pay the highest prices in terms of the impacts of unsustainable global practices such as climate change.
This presents a complex set of challenges for African countries and for the world. How can low and middle-income countries embark on a path towards high human development that does not mirror the unsustainable practices of those already there? And how can countries improve the utilization of their natural resources such that critical environmental systems functions are preserved and such that the vast mineral and hydrocarbon wealth of many African countries are utilized in a way that maximizes the human development of current and future generations?
The answer to these questions largely rests within the substantive theme for the Rio +20 conference: how to build green economies. Building green economies is essentially about building more efficient economies in which markets price in scarcities and external effects.
This will require political courage to take on the vested interests, commitment and coordination by leaders at all levels, technological advances, and well-designed measures to protect those who invariably get squeezed during economic transitions.
The growing political commitments by African leaders as expressed in national documents and legislation, and in the initiatives of the African Union—in particular those to be implemented by the NEPAD agency—are encouraging.
We need to see these commitments firmed up and consistently moved into actual policies as we prepare for Rio +20 and beyond. We welcome the efforts that have been taken by African countries to identify opportunities and challenges in the region's transition to a green economy. The draft consensus statement rightly emphasizes that "the promotion of [a] green economy in the region should be underlined by national objectives, social and economic development imperatives and the attainment of the MDGs." There is a need to foster better understanding of the green economy in the specific context of Africa.
UNDP will continue to work with African countries to explore practical policy options and strengthen national capacities to ensure that sustainable development moves from the periphery to the core of national development planning efforts.
We also need to see the stronger commitment by African leaders matched by actions by the international community, including development partners, to raise the means for implementation. This involves not only public resources, but also setting up the conditions that would unleash the mobilization of private resources. Beyond improved financing, access to appropriate technology solutions, and support for institutional capacity development will be critical.
It is critical that the transition to a global green economy, does not exacerbate, but reverses the trends of deepening inequalities between and within countries and regions. And it is imperative for the aspirations for greater human development in Africa that the current rates of economic growth are sustained and be made more effective in bringing poverty down.
We are therefore encouraged by the strong commitment in the draft Consensus Statement towards "improving the environment for inclusive growth by strengthening the soundness of macroeconomic policies, promoting job rich growth and boosting agricultural productivity, as well as providing opportunities for vulnerable groups, including women."
Strengthening the linkages between poverty and economic growth require inclusive growth strategies that are tailored to overcome the specific challenges faced by each nation such as: generating jobs and improving livelihoods; raising agricultural productivity and strengthening value chains; expanding rural infrastructure and access to markets; promoting light manufacturing or trade in services for the many landlocked African countries; while investing more in human capital such as secondary education and vocational training especially for young and unemployed youth.
Systems for social protection have an important role to play, not only in terms of cushioning some of the unavoidable adverse impacts in the transition to the green economy, but also to make the growth process itself more inclusive by enabling the poor to consume, save and invest more, and by increasing their resilience to external shocks such as floods and droughts.
UNDP's work takes place in regional and global for a like this and we are on the ground in each and every African nation. We remain committed to working with African countries to meet the national needs and priorities for green growth in Africa. We will leverage our experience in supporting countries in measuring human development and tracking the MDGs to support the work on new and better measures of sustainable development. Our role as knowledge-broker and facilitator of South-South solutions will remain essential in our support to develop country-owned strategies for achieving agreed sustainable development goals and targets.
We remain committed to turn the challenges of sustainable development into opportunities for advancing human development for all Africans.

NORTH EASTHAM, Mass. -– You cannot stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
After missing last week's contest with an ankle injury, Dylan Oxsen ran wild against Nauset, rushing for 243 yards on 37 rushes en route to a 27-6 victory over the Warriors.
"When you get him back on the practice field, the whole atmosphere changes," said Panther coach Scott Fry. "The mood of the team, they knew what they were playing for today."
With the victory Friday night, the Panthers control their own destiny in the ACL. With a win in two weeks at Falmouth, Plymouth South will take the ACL for the second year in a row.
Nauset's star tailback Jimmy Sullivan was limited after breaking a bone on the top of his hand in last week's last second loss at Marshfield. Sullivan wore a cast on his right hand, eliminating the passing game.
"He had a broken hand and it's in his palm so he can't throw the ball at all," said Nauset coach Keith Kenyon. "We certainly wanted him to run the ball and he did, but it was difficult for him to take snaps."
It took Oxsen a quarter to find his groove. On the second play of the second quarter, Oxsen took a pitch to the left side and found a seam for a 34-yard score. Gordan Fitzgerald hit the extra point to give South the 7-0 lead.
On the following drive, the Warriors put together some offense, getting to the Panther 32-yard line, but the drive ended on a fourth-down interception that gave South the ball at their own 44.
Oxsen took command of the offense, rushing for over five yards per carry on the subsequent drive and capped it off with a 1-yard run in the final minute of the half to give South a 14-0 halftime lead.
With starting quarterback Rick Barnhardt on the sidelines after hurting his leg last week, sophomore Andrew Shortall made her first career start. While he only threw four times, he was effective, tossing for 55 yards and rushing for an additional 25 yards.
Nauset had trouble moving the ball in the first half, as they were out gained 153-79 in the first half. But their offense found a spark after halftime to get them back in the game.
The Warriors opened the second half with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off with a 2-yard scoring run from Sullivan that cut the lead to 14-6.
But it was all Plymouth South after that, as Nauset had no answer for Oxsen.
"That's what he's (Oxsen) been throughout his career here," said Fry. "Just wear people down because he's so strong and such great vision and the offensive line does too. I think over a matter of time they just keep pounding and pounding them."
Oxsen ran for 125 of his 243 yards in the second half and outgained the Warriors offense as a whole (214 yards for Nauset). He had scoring runs of 1 and 17 yards in the final quarter, but more importantly kept the clock running for the duration of the fourth quarter to put away the victory.
Monster run game: The Panthers are a different team with Oxsen in the backfield. While the Panthers ran the ball effectively last week at D-Y, they lacked the ability to punch the ball into the end zone. But with Oxsen back tonight, the Panthers scored on every drive after their opening possession (turnover on downs).
Oxsen has the ability to put the exclamation point on every drive. His ankle took a quarter to warm up, but once it did, Oxsen found the explosiveness that we are accustomed to seeing from him.
The Panthers ran the ball at will in the second half after they wore down the front seven of Nauset.
"We've always been a second half team," said Oxsen. "It depends how fired up we get. We came out fired up in the first half too but its just how we are were always more fired up in the second."
The Panthers were bit by the injury bug once again, losing senior quarterback Rick Barnhardt in the closing minutes of last week's loss at D-Y, but Shortall stepped in beautifully.
While having Oxsen in the backfield will make it easier for an quarterback, Shortall did make a few big throws on third down and scrambled for a handful of first downs.
"Going in, we knew we were going to miss Ricky," said Fry. "Just what he brings to the team. But the sophomore Shortall stepped in admirably to say the least. It adds another dimension to our offense."
Losing Sullivan hurts: Jimmy Sullivan has had a standout year for Nauset. So when he broke his hand last week at Marshfield, but offense took a huge hit. Sullivan couldn't throw the ball nor take snaps under center, two things he regularly does.
It didn't take the Panthers long to figure out that Nauset couldn't throw the ball (two interceptions on their first two passing plays) and could just play the run.
"Defensively, you can completely change your strategy when you know the kid doesn't have the ability to throw the ball," said Kenyon. "And that's okay. We still ran the ball with some success tonight but it's a lot of Dylan Oxsen. He's a great back."
Nauset still ran the ball with decent success. Sullivan ran for 80 yards on 15 carries and Kyle Cambone had 68 yards on 12 carries. But that running game couldn't translate into points.
"Sullivan's got a hyper extended left elbow, along with a broken right hand so he has two injuries on both arms," said Kenyon. "It was just, let him run the ball but no threat to throw the ball and I think Plymouth South knew that after a while and they loaded up the box."
In a game where Oxsen is running all over the offense, the Warriors couldn't afford to not put up points on long drives, and that is exactly what happened.
The ACL beings to crystalize: The ACL has been beating up on each other all year. Heading into this game, three teams were tied at 3-1 (Nauset, South and Marshfield) and three teams at 1-2 (D-Y, North and Sandwich).
With the win, South takes sole possession of first place in the ACL (as Marshfield played a non-league game at Barnstable). Meaning that if South wins in two weeks at Falmouth (1-4, 0-4 ACL), they will win the ACL.
"If we lost this game, we wouldn't control our own destiny and a lot of things had to go our way," said Oxsen. "We knew that coming into this game, so we did what we had to do. We've got a bye this week and we're gonna rest up our players."
"Going in, when knew it was going to be a real competitive league with all the teams in the ACL," said Fry. "We thought there might be a situation where everyone is going to lose at least one game. But we rebounded nicely and now we get to rest some kids and get ready for Falmouth."
