The sun was shining, and the weather stayed clear for one of the most exciting weekends of summer in Carlyle.
Engines revving could be heard for miles at the 11th annual Carlyle Boogie Fest, June 22 and 23. The flood of motorbikes took over town, with bike enthusiasts ready for a good time.
With a crowd at points reaching more people than could fit in the barn at the park, the town�s businesses were booming and Lions Park was packed with happy people from every block.
The weekend festivities commenced on Friday afternoon with a free barbeque lunch and ticket blitz. The ticket blitz proved to be a big hit once again this year with the winner of the 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Bob being Shawn Lyttle of Redvers.
Friday afternoon was full of surprises for the younger crowd, as Cornerstone Family and Youth had planned a delightful carnival atmosphere. The activities at this event included face painting, two bouncy castles, cotton candy and other sugary products at the concessions, carnival themed games, a fun bicycle kids parade and of course the magician. Children's faces were glowing with glee, and sugar consumption made the events all that much more memorizing.
Participants and guests got a bright and early start Saturday morning at the 8 a.m. Pancake breakfast. The morning also included biker registration for the Poker Derby and a chance to watch the Senior Ball Tournament which included the infamous Carlyle Cardinals.
The Poker Derby route took bikers to Virden, Maryfield and Kenosee, with the parade of bikes going down Main Street for spectators.
The barbeque roast beef supper began at the Lions Park at 530 p.m., and was sponsored by The Knights of Columbus. The biker games to follow brought in quite the large crowd as they are known to be a yearly crowd-pleaser.
As the wacky games started, children enjoyed the view sitting on the grass brought to them, as many adults took the opportunity to cheer on their favourite competitors.
This year�s events included a majority of partner games, with a few individual rider contests. Passengers were expected to put golf balls down a tube and catch them on the other side in a baseball cap, hang socks on clothes lines, placing golf balls on pylons, and riding on a plank.
As is tradition at the Boogie Fest the final contest of the biker games included a Burnout contest.
After a short break,the minors were sent home and a new party began. The Chris Henderson band put on quite the show at the Lions Park dance. A bonfire was part of the evening, with several people enjoying their hot dogs and hamburgers around it with new friends. Two- stepping and attempts at other country moves were part of the immense entertainment of the evening.
The Town of Carlyle put on a remarkable show with its fireworks display. The spectacle was noticeable throughout the whole town and left its audience in awe. After dark, the party continued until 2 a.m., with quite a large age range interacting to the wee hours of the morning. And the boogie festivities went out with yet another successful year.

Klaus Knopper answers your Linux questions
Ask Klaus!
Klaus Knopper is the creator of Knoppix and co-founder of LinuxTag expo. He currently works as a teacher, programmer, and consultant. If you have a configuration problem, or if you just want to learn more about how Linux works, send your questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Bad DVD or Drive?
Hello Klaus, I have been using Knoppix DVDs from Linux Magazine for some time and have had no problems with versions 6.1 to 6.5. However, I recently tried version 6.7 and it gives the message in Listing 1, so I tried knoppix testcd and it does the same. I concluded that I may have a dud DVD and decided to wait for the next release.
When Knoppix 7.0 came out in Linux Magazine, I tried again, and got the same message. Now, it is highly unlikely that two DVDs are defective in the same spot, so I tried further boot options – nodma, acpi=off, and failsafe – to no avail. I note that versions 6.7 and 7.0 of Knoppix use compression. Is that the problem?

Common Core: A Scheme to Rewrite Education
Common Core — new national education standards that the federal government is bribing and coercing states to adopt — will harm students, not benefit them.
Zimmerman Not Guilty; Unrest and Calls for Federal Charges Begin
Shortly after George Zimmerman was found not guilty late Saturday of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the self-defense shooting death of Trayvon Martin, unrest hit the city of Oakland as race-mongers like Al Sharpton, the NAACP, and even some Democrat members of Congress publicly demanded that the Obama administration pursue federal "civil rights" charges instead. So far, the verdict has elicited outrage and sadness from Martin supporters, while those who believed Zimmerman acted in self-defense reacted with a mixture of relief and anxiety about what comes next.
Obama Lobbies Reluctant Congress to Support Arming Syrian Rebels
Despite the White House's mistaken impression that Obama can arm jihadist Syrian rebels without permission from Congress, media reports indicate that the administration is lobbying lawmakers for a green light after key congressional committees rebuked the president's deeply unpopular plan to send military aid to opposition forces in Syria. While members of Congress on both sides of the aisle fret about the potential for U.S. weapons to end up in the hands of al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups currently fighting the Assad regime, the administration appears determined to go forward with its scheme.
Suspicions Growing Over Death of Journalist Probing NSA and CIA Abuses
Weeks after the fiery death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings, who was probing the CIA and NSA and had recently informed others that he was being investigated by federal authorities, suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet. While police officially ruled the death an "accident," serious questions are still surfacing — even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a "big story" and needing to go "off the radar," it has become clear that he was worried, too.
If Zimmerman Walks, Media-inspired Riots Anticipated
The city of Sanford, Florida, already has a secret law-enforcement plan to deal with potential riots and unrest in the wake of a possible acquittal of George Zimmerman. Miami has efforts to keep the peace underway as well.
Across America, pundits and analysts have been warning that a "not guilty" verdict in the controversial case could set off an explosive wave of deadly violence rivaling the mass riots that ensued following the 1992 Rodney King trial. If mayhem does strike, analysts say the establishment media, President Obama, and assorted race-profiteers would bear much of the blame.
Zimmerman Prosecution Imploding, Analysts Say
The prosecution of George Zimmerman for second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin last year appears to be collapsing, thanks in large part to testimony offered by witnesses called by prosecutors, according to legal experts and analysts. Even though the judge refused to allow Martin's history of drug use, fighting, and school suspensions into evidence, explosive witness testimony provided during the trial may still prove devastating to authorities and their bid to convict Zimmerman.
FEMA Signs "Exchange" Deal With Russian Government
Following outrage and controversy last year over the Obama administration's unprecedented decision to invite Russian troops for terror drills on U.S. soil, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now under fire for signing more agreements to "cooperate" with Vladimir Putin's Russian "Emergencies Ministry" (EMERCOM) in wide array of fields.
Effort to Oust Attorney General Eric Holder Gains Momentum
Last month, more than 75 Republicans in the House of Representatives joined the effort to pass legislation on ousting scandal-plagued Attorney General Eric Holder, bringing the total number of representatives seeking his immediate resignation to over 130. Even some Democrats have added their voices to the growing chorus. The myriad scandals surrounding the Obama administration, meanwhile, continue to escalate as the president tries fiendishly to deflect accountability.
Star Witness Against Zimmerman Flops Big Time
The prosecution's "star witness" against former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, accused of murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, endured an embarrassing grilling both inside the Florida courtroom and in the national media. From potentially incriminating social-media posts publicized by reporters to major gaffes during her testimony, Rachel Jeantel, 19, has sparked even more criticism of what legal experts say appears to be an overzealous bid to convict Zimmerman regardless of the evidence supporting his claims of self-defense.
Obama Sending U.S. Troops to Egypt
As Egyptians prepare for massive protests against the U.S. government-backed Muslim Brotherhood regime of Mohamed Morsi, the Obama administration is set to deploy hundreds of American troops to Egypt. While some analysts have argued that U.S. forces will be used to continue propping up "Islamofascists" in the Middle East, authorities from both countries claim the soldiers are merely being sent as part of a nine-month international "peacekeeping" scheme.

Obama: 'Real' Romney was missing from debate
President addresses PBS funding, Bird Bird comment
President Barack Obama fired back at Mitt Romney in his first post-debate stop in Denver Thursday, contrasting the Romney he saw at the debate with the Romney seen on the campaign trail over the last year.
"We had our first debate last night, and when I got onto the stage I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney," Obama told the crowd of roughly 12,300. "But it couldn't have been the real Mitt Romney."
The "real" Romney, he said, has traveled the country promoting tax cuts for the wealthy, education plans that would hurt teachers and was a pioneer of outsourcing jobs overseas.
However, Wednesday night, Obama said Romney reversed those views because he "doesn't want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney" and "what he's been saying for the last year."
The president's comments echoed much of what his campaign has been peddling since the showdown, largely in response to criticism Obama did not bring his A-game to the first debate.
But at the campaign event, Obama said he spent the 90 minute event "trying to hit him down."
He also took on a much talked about moment, when Romney said eliminating funding for PBS, among other programs, would help drive down the debt.
"Thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird. It's about time," Obama said. "We didn't know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit, but that's what we heard last night. How about that?"
Responding to the crowd, Obama said "Elmo too?"
The event attendees were on the receiving end of a will.i.am DJ fest before hearing from former Transportation Secretary Frederico Pena, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and then the president.
will.i.am., of Black Eyed Peas fame, is an ardent supporter of the president and attended the debate Wednesday night. An aide to the musician said he plans to help the president's re-election effort "as much as we possibly can," adding that he will join the president next in Ohio next week.

Here is the haunting story of the great female poet Hung Tu, who flourished in the ninth century during one of the great periods of Chinese literature. The daughter of a Government official far from the capital, on the Silk River, she was, most unusually, brought up with her brothers whom she far outshone. Falling on evil times, her father sells her to the best Blue House on the Silk River. Hung Tu's poetry and calligraphy bring her great renown, and the story traces her rise from Flower-in-the-Mist to Official Hostess at the court of the governors of the Silk City, and her love affair with the poet Yuan Chen. Set against the backdrop of the scholars, poets, officials, and warring factions of ninth century China, this wonderful story reconstructs one of the great periods of China - turbulent, cruel, yet with a sense of beauty remarkable by any standards and in any age. Go Ask the River is a tale not only of historical China, but of the human struggle to discover how to be alive.

It may seem silly to address a topic that many of us had explained when we were very young. Unfortunately, very few of us had it explained well, leaving a good many with no idea what the birds and the bees really mean to our everyday sexual lives.
Every day someone at Scarleteen asks if this, that or the other thing is a pregnancy risk, or how they can tell if they are pregnant, or how they can even get pregnant in the first place. It isn't stupid or immature not to know the answers to these questions. It is only foolish not to ask them when we don't know the answers, or to assume we'll just be "lucky," and so never try to learn. At least 40% of all women get pregnant before they turn 20 years old, and approximately 70% of those pregnancies are accidental. Among people of all ages who do become pregnant, as many as 50% of all pregnancies are unplanned. Clearly, it is something to be concerned with, something many people DON'T understand, and something most people aren't so lucky with after all.
You probably already know that for someone to get pregnant, sperm has to reach an egg and fertilize it. You may also know that happens almost exclusively through genital intercourse. Those are basics that are great when you're six, but are a bit too ambiguous when you're actually capable of becoming pregnant or taking part in creating a pregnancy. So, let's take a new look at the whole thing, from a realistic standpoint.
The script for human reproduction involves two main characters: sperm and ovum, but also a good supporting cast of body fluids, our reproductive organs and some cameo roles.
Let's start with one common misunderstanding. Semen and sperm are not the same thing, though many people often think so, and refer to them as the same. Semen is, in fact, a combination of fluids -- called seminal plasma -- from the prostate gland, cowpers gland and the seminal vesicle, and sperm. Semen contains sperm, but it is not sperm. Less than 5% of semen is sperm.
Semen and vaginal fluids -- cervical mucus -- are the strong supporting cast to our leading actors: without them, the sperm and ovum couldn't accomplish much when it comes to reproduction.
Of Sperm and Semen: A person with a penis and testicles usually produces millions of sperm each and every day, and they are microscopically small. Just one drop of semen has more than one hundred million sperm in it. No kidding. When ejaculation occurs, ejaculate normally has between 200 and 600 million sperm in it. Semen isn't irrelevant: it's needed both to balance out the acidic nature of the vaginal environment to keep sperm viable, and is also needed to help sperm move to the cervix.
Because the sperm are super-sensitive to the environment outside the testes (or "balls"), only about 50 of sperm in an ejaculation will be able to reach an egg. That is why the body produces so many, because most of them die en route. But while only one sperm actually fertilize the egg (save in a rare type of twin), a couple hundred "helper" sperm play wingman to help that one get in.
Of Ova And Cervical Mucus: In most people of reproductive age who have a vagina and uterus, one mature ovum or egg is released each fertility cycle (which is anywhere from three to five weeks long for most individuals) from the ovaries into one of the fallopian tubes. Usually, only one tube at a time has a fertile egg in it, though that is not always the case, as some people may release more than one ovum each month. After sperm pass through the vaginal canal and the cervix, some of them will go to one fallopian tube, and some the other, seeking out that egg. Cervical mucus and vaginal fluids must contribute to this: without the right consistency of those fluids, sperm can't swim upstream very well. At the most fertile time of the cycle, an egg is being released and cervical fluids have a thin, stretchy and fluid consistency.
Those that went to the tube with a live egg surround it and try to enter the sac. Sperm can live in the vagina for several days, so given the timing, that may or may not happen on the same day sperm came to the door.
If the ovum is healthy and viable, sperm will penetrate it and fertilize the egg. The ovum only allow one sperm to fertilize the egg, and if that happens, no other sperm are allowed in. It's a bit like calling into a radio station for a contest: once the 50th caller gets on the line, they stop answering the phone.
If the process continues another step, about a day or so after that happens -- and the egg, fertilized, becomes a zygote -- the egg starts to divide into many cells, staying in the fallopian tubes keeping busy with that for a few days. That zygote then usually starts moving towards the uterus, dividing more all the while, with the intent of attaching to the endometrium. Before it does that, it changes some more, and can then become a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst, and that is what may -- or may not -- implant in the uterine wall and then become an embryo and a bonafide pregnancy.
Many times, without any interference from anyone, fertilized eggs just don't implant and a pregnancy does not occur. But when pregnancy happens, from the moment that ejaculate enters the vagina to an actual pregnancy it can take anywhere from around five or so days (which is why emergency contraception can work for up to 120 hours after a risk) to well over a week to complete.
On potentially any day there is vaginal contact with sperm, and most typically through vaginal intercourse. There are times in a fertility cycle (like a few days before and the day of ovulation, when the mucus of the vagina is most friendly towards sperm) when a person is MOST likely to become pregnant, and times when a person is least likely and even not at all likely to become pregnant, but someone can technically get pregnant because of live semen in the cervix at nearly any time. As fertility cycles differ a lot from person to person, there is no one safe or one fertile time for everyone.
Trying to predict times of ovulation is usually something that is done when you are TRYING to get pregnant, not trying to avoid it. However, some people chart their fertility cycles to be informed about their own bodies, some use that charting as a method of birth control (though using it solely isn't advised for younger people, or for couples who really can't deal with a pregnancy), and some use charting in conjunction with another method of birth control, such as condoms, by using condoms for all intercourse during all of the cycle, save the most fertile period, during which they abstain from genital intercourse completely. To chart fertile cycles and predict when you (or your partner) is most and least likely to be fertile, a person will need to have had regular menstrual cycles for at least a few years, then every day look at cervical mucus (with a finger or a speculum) and take a basal body temperature, with the help of a teacher or good guide to know what's what. After doing that for a few months, so long as cycles are regular, one can predict with a good deal of accuracy when ovulation and highest fertility is likely to occur in the upcoming cycle, and know when it happened in the previous ones.
But counting days per periods based on average fertile times for all people is not a very sound way to do that as it is not likely to be very accurate, since we don't all have the same cycle.
You can get pregnant at any time after around two weeks before your first menses (or period). Whether or not your corona (hymen) is intact is a nonissue, since it may well be broken (or more accurately, stretched or worn away) long before someone first has intercourse. In any case, even if intercourse or sexual contact doesn't fully stretch your hymen, which it usually won't, nearly all hymens have small holes -- called microperforations -- in them for menstrual flow that will allow sperm through as well.
If semen comes in direct contact with a vagina, pregnancy can occur. It really is that simple.
Overall, the MOST likely way to become pregnant is by direct vulval or vaginal contact with sperm. Sperm can live up to about 20 minutes in an environment that is unfriendly to them (in other words, outside the testicles, vagina or in lab conditions), but they are very delicate creatures in the great outdoors. Superheoes they are not. So while, for instance, having unprotected anal sex where sperm can run right down into the vagina does create a possible risk of pregnancy, it isn't as likely a risk as it is with vaginal intercourse. If there is a distinct barrier between the vagina and the penis in question, such as clothing, water or an interstate highway, there is not a likely risk of pregnancy.
In addition, you cannot get pregnant by swallowing semen, by oral sex, or by manual (with hands, or "fingering") sex. You CAN, however, catch or transmit STIs that way.
As far as birth control methods, read our birth control guide to see which ones are the most effective, but overall, the MOST effective method of birth control (and the best when it comes to also reducing the spread of STIs) is a condom plus an additional birth control method. Many teens who are not yet ready for intercourse or sexual activity where a condom is required don't keep them -- or other birth control -- handy. However, many unplanned pregnancies have occurred when people express things "just happened" or when one partner caves into pressure from another to have sex, even though they weren't planning on it. Do yourself a favor: just like you'd always keep a spare tire on your car in case of an emergency flat, keep a condom or two around with some lubricant, just in case you need them. There is absolutely no harm in being prepared.
MOST accidental pregnancies occur within the first six months of intercourse. A sexually active teenager who does not use contraceptives has a 80% chance of becoming pregnant within one year, a far better chance than anyone has of winning the lottery (would that we had that big a chance of winning the lottery!). In addition, your chances of contracting or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease or infection are also even greater than the chance of getting pregnant. Every year about one in four sexually active teens acquire an STI. One in four. That's why we think you should be concerned about them both.
According to Unintended Pregnancy Among U.S. Adolescents: Accounting for Sexual Activity, by Lawrence B. Finer, director of domestic research at the Guttmacher Institute, the unintended pregnancy rate among teens who are sexually active (147 per 1,000) is more than twice the national figure for all sexually active women of reproductive age (69 per 1,000). The rate among sexually active 18–19-year-olds (162 per 1,000) is more than double the national figure. There are substantially greater numbers of unintended pregnancies still among women aged 20–24 than among younger women.
By taking a pregnancy test.
There is no other way to know for sure early enough in the game to adequately consider your options. Most early symptoms of pregnancy do not show up until at least a couple weeks after conception, sometimes longer than that. Too, when early pregnancy does have symptoms, they're usually the same kinds of symptoms as PMS. You can use a home pregnancy test either after your first missed period, or around two weeks after your risk, and should repeat the test one week later if you get a negative result. The most reliable test is done by a doctor or clinician. If your test shows a positive, you should then go to a doctor's office or family planning clinic (like Planned Parenthood) and have a test done there. Home pregnancy tests are generally very reliable anymore, but positives should be verified professionally.
If you've been having intercourse and miss a period, then you'll want to take a test. Again, pregnancy is far less likely when a reliable birth control method has been used, and nearly impossible if you've also used a backup method, but we don't yet have a method which is 100% reliable, and it's always better to find out as early as you can if you are pregnant.
If an accidental pregnancy does happen, then you'll have to make one of two choices: you can choose to remain pregnant, and then deliver and either parent or take part in adoption, or you can choose to end the pregnancy with an abortion. All three of those choices are valid and usually available to people of all ages. Abortion is usually where there may be restrictions, because a pregnancy has gone too far to terminate, because abortion is not legal in your area or nation, or because your age presents limitations in terms of your rights to access abortion in your area.
Many people have experienced feeling good about all of those choices; many people have expressed feeling bad about all of those choices. What's right for each person or each pregnancy is very individual. When someone tends to feel best isn't about one of those choices being the one most or all people feel best about: there isn't any one that's most often best. Rather, people have had good experiences with all those choices, and that's often most strongly influenced by someone having been able to freely choose what they really wanted, and be fully -- interpersonally, economically, culturally and via a high standard of care -- supported in that choice.
While we all obviously want to do all you possibly can to prevent a pregnancy you don't want or know would not be sound, a pregnancy doesn't mean it has to be the worst thing that ever happened to you. Any of these choices can be good choices with good outcomes, even if making them is difficult, which it often is.
Obviously, it is greatly helpful to hold off on intercourse until you are really ready to handle the risks, including an unplanned pregnancy. Educate yourself about sexuality and your body and find out the risks you're taking before you take them. If you cannot obtain, afford or stick to a reliable birth control method every single time there's vaginal contact with a penis, and don't want to become pregnant, you'll need to avoid sexual intercourse. It's that simple, and that doesn't need to be torture. Anyone who tells you that it is is kidding you, and is kidding themselves. Sex is about many things, only one of which is intercourse (and it isn't that different from other forms of sex, like oral sex), and the sex that is best for everyone -- on all levels -- is always only the sex that you want and feel really ready for, even when that is no sex at all.
And in case it wasn't clear before you read this piece, intercourse's primary objective is creating a pregnancy, even if that isn't your objective in having it. So if this whole process up there isn't something you want happening in your own or a partner's body, either contraception or no babymaking-sex at all are the ways to skip a trip down the sperm superhighway.

Unity Community |
Hi all.
Just wanted to show off my latest project. I am an environment artist, so the project is intended to show off my skills to a potential future employer.
I've also done quite a bit of shader work for the scene, for example nothing in th scene is unwrapped, every uv coordinate is calculated in the shaders, it's a bit more expensive but i find it nice for prototyping.
The scene is still very much work in progress
I've included download for both pc and mac standalones, but i haven't tested it on mac, so there might be some funky stuff :P
www.lasse-westmark.dk/unity/bunker/bunker.app The Mac Build won't run properly on most Macs for some reason, although it runs fine on my old mac book pro from 2006 running snow leopard
Any feedback is appreciated.
Edit: Added some screenshots:
Forgot to mention that this was done in Unity 3.0 beta 6
Added Mac build warning.
the new mac build is here too packed in a zip file, just wondered if it made a difference.
Mac build still doesn't seem to work
My Portfolio:
The environment is sweet!
The blowing dust, the dirtiness on the tops and in the crevices of all the objects, very nicely done!
My only real complaint is the lack of further audio progression.
The present audio does fit the theme of desolation and actually very well,
but it never progresses into anything further only remains in the continuous loop,
which can become rather tenuous, though spacing it out does help a lot.
Maybe add another subtle track of something that breaks up the present loop.
The windy sound is great.
Next, if you are going to do anything other than produce a good looking environment,
I think you will need some interactivity with some of the objects, like opening a door
or producing something in the center obelisk or moving some of the bones or something.
It would also be nice to lock the cursor to the center of the screen.
All in all I find it quite inspirational!
(tried windows only)
Tried the windows version too.
Great atmosphere. The parallax effect on the obelisk is really cool.
I found a coin in the game!!!1
"I found a coin in the game!!!"
Ah, so one you could pick up?
@ Don Gray:
Thanks for the feedback
I'm thinking about implementing some interactive stuff, but I don't think it'll ever be game like.
I'll try to make the music less continous.
And I'm glad you liked it
You cwazy!!!!1one :P
My Portfolio:
Looked all over and haven't found a coin.
@ Don Gray:
I don't know if you have noticed but MEGATON and I both work at the same company, so I guess you could say that he's messin' with ya :P there is no coin, but maybe in the next build? who knows :P
My Portfolio:
Heh, heh, ok.
No, didn't notice you worked for the same company until you mentioned it.
Good one!
Still haven't figured out what the "1" indicates in your conversion. But, hate to derail this topic any further.
wow. this is totally cool!
@ Don gray:
Hehe :P The "1one" startet out as a typo in the gaming community when you were spamming a lot of "!" and well then people just started doin' it intentionally I guess, that's when the "one" got added to clarify you werent making a typo :P
@ mikesgames:
Thank you very much good sir

Wow this demo burn my PC
It's neat, but it doesn't tell me a story. I'm not given any clear points of interest, so my attention is drawn to wandering around in circles. Consider a "figure of 8" path where you still maintain non-linearity, but provide points of interest along the way where you can guide the player where you want them.
I had a friend to test it on a Mac also and it looks like all the shaders that uses my automatic unwrapping won't run on openGl or something like that. I'll see if theres anything i can do to fix that but I wouldn't get my hopes up :/
Thanks for the feedback I'll try to make more specific points of interest
It does? :S that's wierd cus we have the same CPU, same amount of Ram and you have a better GPU than me and i pull off ~70 fps on fantastic, 1920*1200.

You have to have an Intel CPU i guess :/
I have tested the mac build today on an old macbook pro from 2006 and it worked fine.
My Portfolio:
If he's using a Mac with a 9400M, then he probably has a Intel CPU.You have to have an Intel CPU i guess :/
But why doesn't it work for us?I have tested the mac build today on an old macbook pro from 2006 and it worked fine.
No, it isn't.The Mac Build is Now Fixed
Are you actually using Unity 3.0? The reason I ask is because the "Powered by Unity" splash screen comes up at the start, and the trail version text shows up at the bottom right. I don't have either of these showing up in my beta builds. Is this something that only shows up on people who purchased U3 after the beta window?
In Soviet Russia, game develops YOU!
I am using Unity 3.0b6, I haven't bought the 3.0 but I'm using the beta key.
I'm very sorry that it doesn't work on mac, I will build again now and upload again. Maybe i fucked up. It should work when an old macbook pro can run it.
And about the "powered by Unity" and "Trail" I really don't know. it also says that I can't puplish webplayer-builds as they will only work on my machine.

The last time I flew, my snacks probably took up 1/4 of my carry-on bag. With the soup packets, have you ever tried getting hot water from the drink cart on a flight and mixing the soup in there? And if so, was it successful?
Precision Packing for the Frequent Business Traveler
Even the most experienced business traveler can benefit from a few precision packing tips. It's easy to think you've implemented every space-saving strategy there is, only to miss a stress-saving tip from a fellow road warrior. Here are a handful of packing tips designed to make the life of a frequent business traveler much easier. (See also: How to Travel Light and Low Budget)
Flat Is Frugal
When it comes to non-clothing items that can't be rolled, favoring items that pack flat will help you avoid checking extra bags and the additional fees that go along with them. My husband and I both have adventure sandals from Keen that we wear to hotel fitness centers. They require far less room than athletic shoes and allow you to skip socks altogether. Also, purchasing bobby pins in flat tins from your favorite beauty supply store will provide numerous options for hairstyles and beyond while taking up minimal space in your toiletry kit.
Budget for Bottoms
It's been my experience that when deciding upon your selection of travel clothing, it can be helpful to take just a few, high-quality bottom pieces and save your space for additional shirts and thin layering sweaters. Men and women alike can get by with denim for down days between destinations and black dress pants for professional meetings and events. If you have room and want to mix it up, guys can go with a set of khakis while women can roll with an extra skirt. As a rule, pants tend to stay looking fresh for longer, while dress shirts need to be replaced more frequently. Bear this in mind and pack accordingly.
Keep Digital Storage Compact
Books, project files and scheduling calendars can be cumbersome when you pack the traditional versions. While this is unavoidable for some things, space can be saved by traveling with a tablet device, thumb drive, and multipurpose smartphone. Sure, many of us are used to bringing these items along. But how many of us truly maximize them to their full potential? Search out apps that suit your personal work style and use them to reduce your hard copies as much as possible.
Retractable Items Really Help
Even veteran business travelers who weather flight delays in Priority Pass lounges cranking out the keyboard work have to handle packing hurdles. Finding room for things like tech gear can get to be a real drag. Ditto with makeup brushes. That's where purchasing retractable travel supplies such as a chorded mini mouse and telescoping makeup applicators comes into play. If you're on the road a great deal of time and are required to bring your A game when you are, any bit of extra room in your bag provides greater functionality on the fly.
Pack Less and Do Laundry
No matter how carefully you select your travel bag, you'll still wind up with space limitations. That's why I'm a huge fan of packing individual envelopes of laundry soap during business trips where there's a chance I may have to extend the trip or fly to a second destination unexpected before returning home. Provided I won't have to deal with radically different weather conditions where I'm going, having access to even a single load's worth of laundering soap can double the length of time I'm able to stay on the road. I purchase mine in the travel-sized supply section of my local department store, along with my small tubes of toothpaste.
Manage Your Meal Options
As I discussed in 7 Easy Lunch Ideas for Work, even those who commute and travel with minimal gear and supplies need to have an emergency snack or two available in order to handle unavoidable transportation delays where travel food is difficult to come by. Personally, I'm a huge fan of power bars, envelopes of miso soup, and herbal tea bags.
What secret packing tips do you use on a regular basis? Do you have any sage advice that a fellow business traveler might benefit from? Feel free to share your information in the comment section below.
Hi Meg,
Great idea! I use hot water quite a bit to make things flow smoother when I travel, but usually do the soup thing in the hotel room, at the venue's hospitality bar or in executive lounges. I don't know why I've never thought to use the hot water from the coffee and tea offering, but I don't see why it wouldn't work since they have heat-resistant cups for the hot beverages, along with spoons. I'm definitely going to mentally file that idea for next time. Here's the link to the hot water piece:
Another way to get hot water is to take along one of the portable heating coils that clip on to the side of the cup. If your airline seat has plugs, (or you can use the outlet in the bathroom for electric razors) you can heat water to boiling in about 2 minutes - and if you included an insulated travel cup in your bag you won't have cold soup in less time than it takes to drink it (I stuff the cup with the coil, teabags and instant coffee mixes so it doesn't take up extra room in my carry-on). Also a lifesaver when you realize your room doesn't have a coffee pot!
I LOVE< LOVE the Purex complete 3-1 laundry sheets!!! Each sheet contains a full load of concentrated detergent...lightwt...take up very little room. no mess. i keep a few sheets in a ziplock bag in my travel bag.
We too love power bars, miso soup & herbal teas, but also bring instant hummus along. (add only water) as crackers, carrot sticks etc..are fairly easy to find and add variaty to coasting by snacking. Any trip over 2 days i bring a bar of cheese in a ziplock bag..which has saved many a meltdown from low bloodsugar eppisodes. If its only me..cheese string will work.
Everything fits in one small duffle bag. 2 bags if whole family is going. (We all wear the same size teeshirts) ps...great idea on hot h2o on the plane!
I traveled relatively pedestrian mileage over last 8 years (about 1 million miles). One of the tips - is to travel as light as possible. Eliminate everything.
Few pieces of clothes, sometimes different shoes. Laptop or tablet - only if you must. The joy is to travel without them - knock off 7-8 pounds straight away.
Do not try to cheat yourself - you will be busy and traveling light gives you opportunity to explore. Sometimes avoid waiting for you luggage
