No stamp duty in SEZsJul 17, 2009, 01:18PM IST
Featured Today
New Delhi:
Developers of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) will get a blanket exemption from stamp duty on land purchases within the notified area for non-core activities such as building hotels, housing complexes, shopping malls and golf courses, according to a government official.
The exemption had become a contentious issue with states where these projects are located demanding that it be restricted to core manufacturing areas, which have to cover at least 50% of the total SEZ land.
The government has extended this to cover the whole area within the zone and has issued guidelines detailing the circumstances under which the sop can be availed, said the official asking not to be named.
For the developers of the 500-odd SEZs in the country, slated to bring in investments of over Rs 100,000 crore, this ends the uncertainty that had cropped up after some states had voiced their opposition.
Orissa had objected to the Centre giving such a tax sop without consulting states and had termed the move ultra vires. It had pointed out that while the Centre had powers to legislate on stamp duty, the power to fix the duty rates lay with the states.
This had forced the commerce department to seek the law ministrys opinion on the provision in the SEZ Act.
The exemption, however, will be available only after formal approval of the zone. For land bought after in-principle approval, the state government may either give the exemption upfront or collect the duty and refund it after the zone has been set up. If under some circumstances, notification of a zone is cancelled, the state government will be entitled to withdraw the concession and recover the same from the developer.

Number of children up for adoption rises in El Paso
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — The number of children who need to be adopted in the Sun City continues to climb. The yearly CARE conference – took place on Wednesday at the region 14 education services center.
This year's event, highlights the growing need for adopting and foster parents in El Paso. Last October -- 96 children were ready for adoption. One year later, 170 children are without a home and organizers are helping this event will help scale those numbers back.
"More kids are coming into the system and families who adopt kids actually close their homes so they stop providing services to kids so as a result, you know, a number of beds in El Paso went down a little bit," Jose Alamillo, one of the organizers for the CARE conference said.
"One of the most gratifying things is when you see a child whose, you know, had that tough road and they, and they get, you know, brought in by a permanent loving family. There's not a dry eye in the house and it's a beautiful thing," Paul Zimmerman, the Spokesman for Child Protective Services explained.
If you're interested in becoming a foster or adoptive parent, you can call (915) 542-4535.

About the location
Windermere 4 miles; Keswick 15 miles.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead there is a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Apart from the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th Century "Bridge House" - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Don your party hats ladies and get ready to pop your party poppers as Diet Coke hits the big 3-0. To celebrate this milestone, they haven't indulged in a killer, exclusive party doing the okey-cokey (cue canned laughter) with a bevy of hunks from their Diet Coke Break adverts from over the years. Instead our favourite drink (it is sober January after all) has generously brought back the Diet Coke hunk, in the form of Andrew Cooper - from Manchester, no less - who has been appointed the new hunk in the 'Gardener' and yes, the ad is still set to the iconic Etta James 'I Just Want To Make Love To You'. This has got us delving into the archives to find our favourite advertising gems to quench your thirst. Disclaimer: you don't need a degree in media studies to understand the subtext of these adverts.
1. The Gardener:
To kick off proceedings, we begin with the brand new ad. Yes, Mr Diet Coke is back with a bang and making lawn mowing ever so sexy. In just a normal day at the office for the new hunk, the innocent city gardener has a Diet Coke can thrown to him by a gaggle of girls. Of course it explodes all over him and requires Andrew to down his tools and strip off. You might want to close your mouth now…
2. The window cleaner:
Cast your minds back to a time when phones were the size of a satchel, had aerials and didn't even SMS let alone allow you to tweet. It's barbaric, practically the stuff of The Canterbury Tales. How did anyone survive? Well with a little help from their 11.30am appointment with the office window cleaner! Alas our window cleaner doesn't pack that much muscle, but praise the Lord that ours doesn't attempt the shirtless look *shudders* Now where is the nearest perming facility and where do we get those Pat Butcher-esque earrings from? This video leaves us wanting some '90s style in our lives as well as a buff window cleaner - but we could be reaching for the stars with that one.
3. The maintenance man:
Hands up if you've ever been stuck in a lift and hoped your rescuer would come in the shape of a tall, dark and handsome beefcake with a T-shirt a touch on the small side? YES! we say flinging both hands in the air. We draw the line at causing the lift to break down ourselves like these three minxes do in this clip, we have a problem with close confinement. However, you do sometimes have to make personal sacrifices for the greater good…
4. The builder:
A hot builder? Are you kidding me, who even knew they existed! Well Diet Coke found one in the form of Lucky Vanous and no, really, that is his genuine name. The office girls are getting their 'perv on' in this advert, watching Lucky enjoy his ice cold refreshment in the only way he knows how, shirtless. Little did you know Lucky is quite the catch, he now resides in LA, living the life of a bachelor with his pet parrot, Mr. Zeke. Awww a friend to the animals, as well as woman folk of 1994. What a catch!
5. The delivery man:
For those of you who get your Diet Coke out of a dispensing machine, look away now! At this lucky office the ladies get their Diet Coke delivery on the shoulders of a rather hunky man. Jeez some girls get all the luck. In this blast from the past, on cue, blouses are unbuttoned and legs are uncrossed before the delivery boy commences a slow motion walk across the office which would put David Hasselhoff (circa Baywatch) to shame. Can we get a cold shower over here?
And the future hunk?
With the Diet Coke hunk making a much welcomed come back, it has got us thinking who we would want to be the Diet Coke hunk of the future. It has to be a toss-up between Jake Gyllenhaal and the Adonis, Henry Cavill, the next Superman. Jake has got all the chief components you need, the seductive eyes and the face carved by angels whilst Henry has rugged down to a fine art with the muscles to boot. Either way, if you're reading this Jake and Henry… if you wouldn't mind, its 11.30am and we are in need of a D.C. Now don't forget your tight t-shirt and you better have practiced that slow motion walk or we just won't be satisfied.

Next-gen Atom to launch in October, say moles
Intel has said that its next-generation Atom processor for netbooks - codenamed 'Pine Trail' - will debut in Q4, but it now appears we can narrow that down to 'early Q4'. Asian moles say the CPU - to come to market as the Atom N450 - will launch in October. The 64-bit capable part will run at the same speed as today's N280, 1. …
Good work
I like the combination of analysts and moles giving early warning to purchasers of IT hardware.
The cloak 'and' the dagger please.
So, same processor power, same power comsumption...
... I must be missing something. I want my passively cooled, moderately capable PC and I want it now!. Can you hear me Mr. Intel, away with fans on chipsets.
Power draw from the whole system?
With an integrated graphics and io controller I assume that the power draw of the entire system will drop a fair bit?
IIRC the current generation of netbooks draw around 25-30w, mainly thanks to the chipset. If this eliminates the need for the big drinkers in the chipset, could this lead to an entire-system figure closer to 15-20w?
Chipset power
"The CPU consumes no more than 7W - 1W less than the N280."
and up to 20W or so less than the ancient 945 chipsets the atom cpu is lumbered with. This is more or less current atom with low power integrated chipset on board - that was the headline you missed.

(Please note that these posts are and will continue to be filled with horrible, horrible spoilers. If you haven't seen Utena, please, for the love of whatever deity you do or don't worship, go away and fix that.)
This wasn't going to be the next Utena post, but, with all the recent debate about feminism, I guess I'm in a sex-and-gender sort of mood.
So, a question: who has power in this show? Is it Utena? The student council? Anthy? Cars? J. A. Seazer?
The answer is, of course, men. Or boys, as it were. People with penises.
Utena herself does a lot of conquering, but this is precisely what she's meant to do. All according to plans drawn up by dudes. Akio means to hone her into a sword for his own use.
You could argue that Anthy is really the mastermind behind everything. Here's one take on the ending:
… [T]he betrayal is just a final testing of Utena…to see if she can truly replace Akio in her eyes…Utena passes the test, takes on the suffering that Anthy rightfully deserved and now Anthy walks out on Akio in search of her new prince…who she will now torment at will. As soon as she steps off Ohtori Academy she lights a cigarette and grins. …
animekritik, "The Apocalypse Arc (Revolutionary Girl Utena)"
Not that kritik necessarily prefers this reading, mind; he just suggests it as a possibility. I'm not really feeling it, though. Maybe I just want the ending to be a triumph of sincerity, but I saw it as Anthy's genuine rejection of Akio's cycle — and her being in a position to leave it suggests that, indeed, she was within it, rather than above it. So, while she's very good at manipulation herself, and while Utena may partly have been a pet project of hers (see here), I think that Anthy manipulates people in a way that most often serves Akio's purposes.
Maleness is the force that drives the student council. Its apparently weakest male, Miki, is jerked around by his sister — but consider that she jerks by way of screwing around with men. She needs male aid to get under her brother's skin. The council's most obviously strong female, Juri, is essentially conquered (and cuckolded) in the third arc, her love interest used and discarded by the guy who removes her sword in the following fight. She does conduct that fight, but only under male auspices. Nanami spends most of the show agonizing over Touga. The whole student council is part of Akio's plan.
Akio, Akio, Akio; penis, penis, penis. There's a racial angle, too, but ADWM did it really well already, so let's stick with the phalloi.
Does Utena actually manage to break the patriarchy barrier? I do think so, yes. But it's not a straightforward, point-A-to-point-B sort of message.
She isn't an unbridled force of liberation. She doesn't win equality with her sword. Which is good, because that method risks being disingenuous — consider the Faux Action Girl trope. Battles for equality are never wholly physical, when they need to be physical at all. They're ideological. We have on our hands brutish, poisonous, bad ideas, and you can only counter an idea with an idea.
Revolutions start as ideas, don't they?
For much of the show, Utena is oppressed. She doesn't exactly consent to this — like the viewer, she doesn't understand the thoroughness of it at first. Her point of view is limited. Like every human being I've ever met, she is, given the right conditions, subject to deception and manipulation, sometimes partly because the manipulators are sexually attractive to her. She can't just charge at oppressive social structures full-bore because those structures engulf her. She has to attack them from within, and that's more difficult, and she is, after all, still half a child. She has to learn.
Let's put it another way. Hélène Cixous famously argued that "woman must write woman. And man, man." (No, the irony of my doing this post in the context of that quote is not lost upon me.) Utena's overtures toward blurring her identity are conducted within the "language" or sign system allotted to her. For example, she appears to transgress by wearing a male uniform coat, but the Ohtori Academy uniform is Akio's province. She beats men in swordfights using the Sword of Dios.
A revolution is distinguishable from a coup in that it represents an institutional shift rather than a mere seizing of power. To revolt, you must strive for a system that differs from the norm. It's not enough to turn Akio's own language, i.e. swords, against him. You need an alternative way of looking at things.
I like to think that Utena pulls this off. She loses the physical battle, in the end, but the idea of Utena effectively dismantles Akio's system. She does more than achieve a position of power; she empowers others to step outside.
… Utena succeeds, not as a Prince, but as a Revolutionary, by inspiring Anthy to step up herself out of her subservient role as the Rose Bride and save herself. Thus, together they destroy the archetype of the Prince and the Princess and are on their way to create a new, more equal ideal as friends and soulmates. Their example also manages to help all the Duellists break from their fixation on their idealized memories and move on toward smashing their own coffins. This is the Revolution in SKU.
etrangere, "Utena's Revolution or la Fin de l'Ancien Régime Romantique"
Yes, this. But I don't want to leave off without acknowledging the ambiguity of the ending. We'll see what we want to see. I mean to point out that it's possible to see liberation in there somewhere. My attitude is, if you can see liberation, do.

The Housing Market
AIR DATE: July 1, 2011
The Las Vegas housing market has long been one of the worst in the nation - foreclosures at record levels and 50 to 60 percent drop in prices over the last three years. So where is the housing market now? Will it take decades to fully recover? And what is driving the continued wave of problems with the market?

I like that Gwen pointed out that she could still afford her mortgage if she had a lower paying job. That is the way all buyers should view home buying. People were financing at 80/20, with ARMs and that was crazy! We took out a 30-year fixed mortgage in 2008 and now our house is almost $150,000 underwater because of the foreclosures, but we're not going to walk away just because our house is underwater. I wish people would stop having that mindset. They're making it even worse for those of us responsibly paying our mortgages. It's like throwing a temper tantrum. It's ridiculous. We borrowed the money and we owe it back.

re; cindy...a moral decision is when a person decides to drive while drunk...staying in a sinking ship because you feel obligated is absurd...you've been thrown a life jacket( the mortgage debt relief act)...I can guarantee you the bankers would have no problem shoving infants, the disabled and seniors aside while they secure passage on the last remaining lifeboats. For all underwater homeowners,(myself included) we're renting our homes from the banks, get used to it for a long time...

lousy guests, not helpful at all. I'm wondering if new homeowner and guest , Gwen, will be loving her new home when investors fill up her neighborhood with section 8 renters and her little dog will be tethered to the backyard, because of all the loose pit bulls running in the streets. And knpr owes the majority of homeowners an apology, squatters trash homes too...

My neighborhood is older, sure, but I rented here for 3 years before buying, so I knew what it was like. I know most of the people on my street; there are a lot of people who have lived here for decades, some who are living in houses their parents lived in before them (I bought my house from an elderly woman who was the original owner from when it was built in the '40s). Neighbors help each other out, and I feel safe going jogging or whatever early in the morning or late in the evening. The lots here are huge, so I have an enormous, securely-fenced back yard I can have a garden in, etc. So I feel very happy with my decision, and I'm thrilled to have found a well-maintained, older home that's structurally sound. It wouldn't work for everyone, but it works for me.

My husband is in the Air Force and we were transferred here in July, 2008. Three days before we were supposed to close on the foreclosure we were purchasing, the property was broken into and EVERYTHING was stolen, cabinets, appliances, draperies, mirrors. We ended up backing out of that deal and buying a new construction home two weeks before Lehman Brothers collapsed. We thought we were getting a great deal at the time, but we are now $80K underwater and we are facing another PCS in about 5 months. We will probably end up short selling our home because we feel we have no other options. We can afford our mortgage, but staying here is obviously not an option for us given my husband's military commitment. We looked at renting out our home, but the rental comps indicate we would not be even close to covering our mortgage if we did that. We have a slim hope that Rep. Heck will be successfull in passing an extension of the HAP program, but that doesn't seem likely. I know many other military families are facing a similar situation, particularly those, like us, who are stationed at Creech AFB, which has no on-base housing. Thank you for your continued coverage of this issue.

The guest blamed appraisers for killing 500 deal a month, however, just because there is a contract doesn't mean that is the value. Realtors, banks, investors and homeowner/buyers are all parties with a vested interest in the deal, the appraiser is an impartial party. Please explain why builders are again offering 6% co-ops like they did at the end of '05 when they realized the market was going down then. Let the Realtors push the buyers harder for that commission in lue of putting the price at the actual market value. On a $200k house, that is $6,000 more to the Realtor the buyer has to pay, versus making the house more realistic at $190-195k.

We were fortunate enough to buy our home with cash at the beginning of 2010. we ended up buying a town home for $35,900. This year the value of our home dropped to 11,000. I can say without a doubt that the economy has in no way recovered. We don't mind because we love it here and plan to stay. It is very sad that every third unit in our area has been foreclosed and has no sale sign.
Jun 29, 2011 09:53:49 AM
Houses can't appreciate until the banks stop playing by their rules. They will foreclose, take over the empty house, change the lock, but not register it. They don't turn on the power or pay the HOA. Another game is to get cash fast up front. Even though people want to pay more and put a lot of money down, they prefer to sell it for a lesser amount to the investor with cash. My community, built from 2004 to 2006 only has a fraction of the originals. Granted, 50% were investors (we were told 10% for this new community. The HOA is struggling. The new investors won't do anything until they get a notices and they most likely have never seen the house. We bought thinking we were getting into a community with people who care!

If you're in your 40's or 50's, you'll never recover from your underwater property until you're well into your 70's. Save your money for retirement, unexpected job loss, health care etc. Get rid of the sinking Titanic now ( your Vegas home) while the laws are still a little in your favor. Yes, you will be able to buy another home, might be a couple of years...but do not listen to the naysayers who remark your credit will suffer. Ya, well good credit got me a very heavy ball and chain and I'm exhausted with this burden. Time to do some shedding...
Jun 29, 2011 07:37:39 AM
WTF, yes, all banks "Want The Foreclosure", that way government TARP money is released to them. Forget about loan modifications, principal reductions, Nevada's Hardest Hit Fund, a sympathetic ear, or a live person on the other line. Our elected officials have failed us utterly. All lies, home prices are not at 2000 levels, a more realistic number would be more like 1965 prices. Homeowners, a difficult and at times very emotional decision, but doable. Walk away from your home, save as much money as you can, ruin your credit, (for only a short while though) take advantage of the Mortgage debt relief act when you're hit with a huge 1099 form. Wait a couple of years and then buy yourself a fixer-upper, or foreclosed property where your mortgage payment will be a more realistic $450-750 monthly payment and you're not underwater over 100%. ( i"m doing this successfully now) It's not a moral decision, again WTF, the banks want you to foreclose...always remember that...

When discussing the local housing market, many observers and supposed experts from other parts of the country talk about how long they think it will take before Southern Nevada home prices get back to where they were during the height of the housing boom. I think we should recalibrate the discussion. As a Las Vegas homeowner, I'm more interested in when my home is likely to be worth what it would have been had we not experienced the nation's biggest boom and deepest downfall. I'd be happy if my home had appreciated 3-5 percent per year, keeping with historic norms for our market. To me, we should be asking when we might get back to that point. My guess is it will be much sooner than 20 years from now, which is how long Moody's thinks it will take for local prices to get back to our all-time high water mark.

Well, I'm sure that there are many people that are running VMware Server 2 on CentOS 5. After all, it's one of the major Host OSes that VMware recognizes. Popularity notwithstanding, there is a major bug that can bring your VM screamer to a hault.
CentOS 5.4 has a new glibc package that essentially breaks VMware Server's hostd process. There are many posts out there regarding the issues, and various means of fixing them. However, I am just going to summarize info I've found out there on the net, and hopefully you should be able to follow very easily and get your VMs back up and running.
VMware Server 2 (hostd) crashes on CentOS 5 after upgrading to the latest releases of glibc and glibc-common
NOTE ON SOLUTIONS: There are two methods to solve this. The first requires downgrading the libraries system-wide. This should be fine if you only use the CentOS host as a VMware Server Host and nothing else. However, if you are in doubt whether your other applications, etc. on that host will run on a slightly older version of glibc, please use SOLUTION METHOD 2 as it will only affect VMware, and essentially tell VMware Server where to look for the correct libraries it needs.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for you rendering your server useless. When in doubt, don't upgrade to CentOS 5.4… Although, you probably already did that, and this is why you're here.
Step 1: Go to /etc/yum.repos.d and copy the file CentOS-Base.repo to CentOS53-Base.repo
Step 2: In CentOS53-Base.repo, rename all the packages to reflect the 5.3 version. So, change:
[base] --> [base53] [updates] --> [updates53] [addons] --> [addons53] [extras] --> [extras53] [centosplus] --> [centosplus53] [contrib] --> [contrib53]
Step 3: In CentOS53-Base.repo, replace all instances of release=$releasever with release=5.3
Step 4: Now, downgrade the glibc and glibc-common libraries by running the following commands:
yum downgrade glibc glibc-common
Step 5: To avoid any problems with future upgrades/updates, it would be best to exclude them from the list of available updates on yum. Add the following to your /etc/yum.conf file:
exclude=glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-utils nscd
Step 6: Reboot the server, and now re-run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl to reconfigure with downgraded glibc libraries.
Step 7: (Optional) Run the following command to make sure future upgrades/updates will not download the updated glibc* libraries.
yum list glibc*
Now, if you have other applications installed on CentOS, and you don't want to worry about any issues with future use of glibc on your server, please follow the next method to manually link VMware hostd process to use the older glibc libraries.
(Make sure you are logged in as root for these steps)
Step 1: Install the latest 2.0.2 VMware Server package and run the configuration. It will crash, but just ignore this for now.
Step 2: Run the following command, and make note of the response.
Step 3: Run the following commands, and replace any instance of {ARCH} with the result of Step 2:
mkdir ~/vmwareglibc cd ~/vmwareglibc wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/{ARCH}/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm rpm2cpio glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm | cpio -ivd mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6 mv lib64/libc-2.5.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6/libc.so.6
Step 4: Open the VMware hostd process script for editing.
vim /usr/sbin/vmware-hostd
Step 5: At line 372, before the program is called, insert two empty lines and add the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Before Example:
if [ ! "@@VMWARE_NO_MALLOC_CHECK@@" = 1 ]; then export MALLOC_CHECK_=2 fi eval exec "$DEBUG_CMD" "$binary" "$@"
After Example:
if [ ! "@@VMWARE_NO_MALLOC_CHECK@@" = 1 ]; then export MALLOC_CHECK_=2 fi export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH eval exec "$DEBUG_CMD" "$binary" "$@"
NOTE: In Step 3, the wget command may in the future be this as 5.3 repositories are taken off of the main CentOS Mirrors:
wget http://vault.centos.org/5.3/os/{ARCH}/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm
Either method you use should get you the desired end result: VMware Server 2 running on CentOS 5.4
Be sure to comment if this helped you. Thanks.
2/11/2010 UPDATE: A bug exists to where if you're on the VMware Host server and trying to access the VMware Web Access UI with HTTPS via Firefox you will simply see a blank screen. Instead, use http://<HOST_IP_ADDRESS>:8222/ui
2/12/2010 UPDATE: Firefox 3.6 does not work with the Remote Console Plugin – you must use 3.5.7 or earlier, Internet Explorer, or use the VI Client. – VMware Communities Thread

Well, I finally took the plunge on my workstation and installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I really am impressed with the usability. And, like the improvements that have been made. I have been on the Beta on one of my home machines, so I'm not entirely new to the Windows 7 look and feel.
My company is heavily into VMware virtualization, management and disaster recovery, and as such I use VMware vSphere\Infrastructure Client all the time. However, I got some strange errors when I tried to log in to one of our vCenter Servers. I realized that the vSphere Client was not supported on Windows 7, and so I started to do some digging. Here is a result of things I've found, and this should help get you going…
Error parsing the server "SERVER IP" "clients.xml" file
Note: I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows 7, so any reference to "Program Files (x86)" should be referenced as "Program Files" if you are running 32 bit Windows 7.
Step 1. Download the following file: System.dll (this file is a .zip file)
Step 2. Once downloaded, unzip the file into the directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib
If the "Lib" directory does not exist, then create it and drop in the DLL file.
Step 3. Next, we want to edit the "VpxClient.exe.conf" file which can be found in the C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher directory and add the following three lines just before the end </configuration> tag:
<developmentMode developerInstallation="true"/>
Step 4. Now we have to create a system environment variable for Windows. Right-click on "Computer" and go to "Properties". Now click on the "Advanced System Settings" option:
Now, go into the "System Properties" box and click the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables"
Now create a new "System" variable called 'DEVPATH' and assign the following variable value:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib
(again, making note that it would be %ProgramFiles% instead of %ProgramFiles(x86)% if you are on 32 bit Windows 7)
Done! You will probably have to reboot your Windows machine to make sure the DEVPATH variable is loaded. Also, some people may have to "Run as Administrator" in order for this workaround to work properly.
Note: This workaround bypasses the normal .NET Framework loading mechanism so that assembly versions in the DEVPATH folder are no longer checked. Handle with care.

If you have used VMware for any length of time, you have probably done a P2V(Physical to Virtual) conversion on a Windows server, to migrate that system into a virtualized environment. If you've got specific NIC settings – such as Static IP, DNS, etc. – those have to be recreated on the new virtual NIC. You also have the duty of cleaning up all the non-present hardware of the system after the conversion is finished in order to get respectable boot times, and better stability inside of Windows.
There are a lot of repetitive tasks, so I decided to put all those common commands in a batch script. Things should be self-explanatory but let me know if you have questions. Note: Fully works only on Windows 2003 server

Not being too familiar with linux printing, I blindly assumed that as long as the parallel port worked in the Linux host OS, that parallel port passthrough would work just fine. So, I proceeded to add a virtual parallel port to my Windows VM running on VMware Server 2.0.1 under CentOS 5.3.
I soon realized that this wasn't as easy as it seemed. CentOS printed test pages, etc. just fine from the host using the device /dev/lp0. However, VMware wanted to use the device /dev/parport0 – actually, I really didn't have an option as it was simply a drop-down menu and not a simply text field to enter whichever device I wanted to specify.
I tried manually editing the .vmx file and changing the line:
parallel0.fileName = "/dev/parport0"
parallel0.fileName = "/dev/lp0"
No dice… Even though CentOS worked when trying to print to the device /dev/lp0, it did not seem to work this way with VMware Server. With a little digging, I was able to find a way to make the passthrough work correctly, albeit not 100% smoothly due to what may be a bug with VMware Server.
Here is what I did in order to get the port working:
1. Remove lp module:
2. Edit the file /etc/modprobe.conf, and beneath the existing 'alias' lines, add these lines:
alias lp off alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
3. Make sure no modules are using the parport0 device (output should be 'none'):
4. Reboot the system and run the above command again to make sure that lp module does not bind to parport0
5. Make sure the lp module is not loaded:
6. Add the virtual parallel port to the VM while it is powered off, and make sure it's set to the hardware device /dev/parport0 and checked to Connect at Power On:
7. Boot VM, and it should auto-detect the LPT1 port inside of Windows:
8. Once Windows is loaded, go back to the host and edit the parallel port settings to disconnect the port, and then reconnect the port.
9. This parallel port passthrough should work until the next reboot of Windows, and then simply complete Step 8 again, and it will be back.
Hope this helps someone else that's looking for a solution!

Thanks to BraveNewCode.com, and their WPtouch WordPress plugin, anyone using an iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android web browser, can now view my site and blog entries in a much better format!
If anyone has been looking for an easy way to be able to make their WordPress blog viewable in mobile browsers, you need not look further than WPtouch.
This is an awesome little plugin that takes the headache out of making your site more mobile-friendly. As of February 17, 2009, this plugin is on version 1.7.5. And now, since this code has been released on the official WordPress plugins repository, you can upgrade automatically through the WordPress 2.5+ admin panel – pretty slick indeed!
So, check me out on your nearest mobile device, and if it's an iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android browser, you will see the alternate theme and layout. Let me know what you think, and let the guys over at BraveNewCode.com know that they did an awesome job with this.
It's nice when you get to finally see a lot of project pieces come together. I have been working with an insurance company for about three weeks now finishing up on a VMware View install and setup.
Nice beefy intel servers, world-class Isilon storage, and a lot of planning in order to replicate the entire installation offsite. There are a total of 11 virtual servers for their numerous apps(and I do mean numerous) and about 40 virtual desktops. We've set up some Persistent pools and some individual pools for special desktops such as accounting/check printing, etc.
My company specializes both in Disaster Recovery(DR) and virtualization – through offsite backups and mirrored server/cluster solutions.
It's great to be on the edge of technology and show clients some great products and solutions that they can really benefit from; both short and long term.
They had an aging Active Directory, so one of the pieces of this project was starting fresh with a new domain, setting up Exchange 2007, and consolidating two domain's mail to the one Exchange server.
Everything was actually switched over in one weekend. (it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it) that was fun, working through the night has been a way of life on different projects like this.
Now what's been on our plate is getting all the little helper applications working again, and trying to organize file structures, etc.
Well, I just wanted to update on recent things, but feel free to ask me if you want more details or have any questions.
UPDATE: Read full post for the edit containing a much better alternative!
I am loving the new VMware Workstation 6.5 with Unity mode(among other features) I hope to be rid of the need for a dedicated boot entry for Windows. If you haven't checked it out yet, Unity mode alows you to have access to your Guest OS' applications menu in order to start and run those apps in the 'space' of your Host OS' desktop. Not the most technical explanation, but it essentially allows the focus to be on what you're doing with your VM as opposed to the OS itself – cool stuff.
Which brings me to the reason for this post – it seems as though the latest release of Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex – 8.10) doesn't play well with VMware Workstation(or vice versa). Then throw in the added complication of an Acer laptop that I'm dealing with (TravelMate 3260), and it becomes more complex.
Of course I searched around the internet for answers, and found bits and pieces. I was able to fix my keymap issue here. I made use of compiz-check to verify my hardware was capable of running Compiz and then installed it.
So, now I am pretty much set, from what I have read and can tell that I should be able to utilize Unity mode in my VM now. (Of course, I have already created my Windows XP VM, installed updates/VMware Tools, etc.)
Well, I booted up the VM and once it was up and ready, clicked the Unity button. I was finally ready to try this puppy out. VMware Workstation minimized and the Unity "Start" button was created at the top left, just under the top Applications bar in Ubuntu. I clicked the button for my VM and… nothing! It did absolutely nothing. Well, the first thing I tried to do was bring up my VMware Workstation window again, and it came up all gray and was basically not responding.
Well, this was all after a bit of time trying to get this thing to work, so I was dissapointed. I searched the net again to no avail, just turning up post after post of different people having the same issues (apparently not this guy). So, I tried different combinations of VM settings in displays, Unity settings, etc. It still would just show the button, almost defiantly.
I decided to try something else – I noticed that while in VMware Workstation preferences, there are a couple options that are grayed out unless you are running VMware Workstation as root. So, I opened up a terminal and ran:
sudo /usr/bin/vmware
It opened up the VMware Workstation window, and I started my Windows VM once more. I just knew it was going to work this time. Once loaded I again pressed the Unity button and it minimized VMware Workstation; leaving my Unity Menu at the top left again. I pressed the Menu button this time with added confidence, only to find that the result was the same.
However, I noticed that in the terminal window, there was a message:
VMware Workstation Hint: A language-specific mapping from X keysyms to machine scancodes will be used, based on the detected keyboard type of "us101", because you are not using an XFree86 server running on the local machine.

Obviously, I had grown weary of this "Hint" earlier on and had already set it to not show this again. As soon as I typed in 0 and hit Enter, a game of Solataire popped up on my screen in all it's Compiz-enabled, Windows 95 prowess.
I was finally enjoying Unity mode and bouncing back and forth between windows(literally), apps, OSes. It was a touching moment to see such vastly different OS models come together like that!
Ok, maybe not that touching, but it's sure nice to have my proprietary apps running side by side with the open-source goodness that it Linux.
Anyone else have issues like this? Any tips, or suggestions? I am just glad I got this far on it, as I'm by no means a Linux guru. Maybe this will help some others that have struggled with the same issues as I.
Kudos to VMware for another slick release of Workstation, and Ubuntu with a nice release of Interpid Ibex – And to all those whose information helped me along the way, Thank You!
EDIT: Just as an update to anyone reading this, I found out that there is a much better way to do this. Instead of using the "xkeymap.nokeycodeMap" line in your VMware workstation config file, if you manually specify the keymap instead of simply having it ignore it, you can actually run Workstation 6.5 as your user and no need to have a terminal window open, so it's much more fluid.
Look at this post on the VMware Community site.
Hope this helps someone!
Just flew in to Raleigh, NC today for the VMware Fast Track Training this week. I'm pretty excited to be able to participate in some 'official' education from VMware, and this will hopefully be a good week with plenty of valuable information to take home.

What is wmplayer.exe?
wmplayer.exe, also written as Windows Media Player, or wmplayer, is a shared library for wmpconfig (wmpconfig.exe) and gpsvc.dll in computers installed with Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP, including 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems. DLL wmplayer.exe is associated with 167424 system files and most of them are used to execute software programs like Game of Thrones, Quick Heal Mobile Security and Safari 6531.22.7.
Symptoms of wmplayer.exe error:
When there is problem with file wmplayer.exe, your computer would have the following error symptoms:
- wmplayer.exe is missing, cannot find wmplayer.exe, can't load wmplayer.exe
- wmpconfig (wmpconfig.exe) was not found
- wmploc (wmploc.DLL) blue screen of death (BSOD)
- gpsvc.dll is missing from your computer during Game of Thrones startup
- wmplayer.exe error in Windows startup and registry
- 2/two wmpconfig (wmpconfig.exe) in Task Manager and high CPU/Memory usage
- wmplayer.exe entry point not found when running Safari 6531.22.7
How to fix and repair wmplayer.exe problems?
If wmplayer.exe error is not repaired as soon as possible, your computer would no longer work correctly. To resolve wmplayer.exe issue, you need wmplayer.exe file fixer. Eleni Bardsley, a web traffic analysis expert from ReverbNation.com, said a total of 7156773 wmplayer.exe solution requests since 7/13/2009 5:23:41 PM. He also mentioned the effective way to fix wmplayer.exe error is to use DLL Suite.
How to use DLL Suite to fix wmplayer.exe?
The idea behind DLL Suite is to make every DLL repair become easier, even common computer users can make this complicated work done with 3 mouse clicks. For the wmplayer.exe repair, what you need to do is to download DLL Suite, scan your computer and then repair wmplayer.exe problems.
The cause of wmplayer.exe error:
The data published by Quick Heal Mobile Security shows why you got wmplayer.exe error is because of TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK infection. Kaley Pech, the leader in Quick Heal Mobile Security antivirus center, said around 167424 computers were infected by TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK everyday. When TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK loads, it starts to download and install malware Program:Win32/CaiFu from http://www.softrescue.com/. At the same time, TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK will collect private information from the affected machines and then upload these data to the remote server through electronic means.
TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK will close and delete itself after Program:Win32/CaiFu installation. The most severe issue next is Program:Win32/CaiFu will scan your computer, display around 7156773 false system errors and ask you to pay to clean them to fix wmplayer.exe problem. If you take these so-called recommended actions, you would receive wmplayer.exe blue screen of death during your system startup and Game of Thrones operation.
wmplayer.exe FAQs you might like:
Q: Can my Quick Heal Mobile Security help fix wmplayer.exe problems?
A: If your Quick Heal Mobile Security only removes and deletes TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK virus from wmplayer.exe, it would help fix wmplayer.exe error. But the real truth is most of the antivirus software programs not only remove wmplayer.exe virus, but also delete file wmplayer.exe. That is why you still get wmplayer.exe is missing error after TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK removal.
Q: Can I uninstall Program:Win32/CaiFu to fix wmplayer.exe error?
A: If you got wmplayer.exe error after Program:Win32/CaiFu installation, you can try software uninstalling to solve wmplayer.exe issue. But so far none of the computer users have the luck; this is because the DLL introduced by Program:Win32/CaiFu re-writes wmplayer.exe and changes wmplayer.exe registry entries. That is why you see wmplayer.exe blue screen of death after registry cleanup by Program:Win32/CaiFu.
Q: Can I upgrade Windows Media Player driver to stop wmplayer.exe blue screen on my NEC computer?
A: Updating Windows Media Player driver is the most used way to solve wmplayer.exe problem, but it is not a recommended workable solution, especially when there is error in wmplayer.exe associated file: gpsvc.dll and wmploc (wmploc.DLL). To determine if there is problem with both of these 2 files, you can use DLL Suite to scan your computer and check if they are listed in the scan results.
Q: Can I fix and install wmplayer.exe file manually?
A: The answer is absolutely YES and the whole process is easy. What you need to do is to:
- Retrieve wmplayer.exe from your system setup disk, another PC running the same system with yours, or through DLL Suite database.
- Save wmplayer.exe to C:WindowsSystem32winsxsamd64_microsoft-windows-mediaplayer-core_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_675eb4c668cac03c
- Type regsvr32 wmplayer.exe and press Enter in CMD window
Q: Can I use DLL Suite to download wmplayer.exe file for free?
A: The answer is absolutely YES. DLL Suite not only helps fix wmplayer.exe problem automatically, but also allows its users to download wmplayer.exe for free. Since 7/13/2009 5:23:41 PM, a total of 7156773 wmplayer.exe downloads has been taken by DLL Suite users and 167424 of them chose the paid version to resolve wmplayer.exe issue automatically. To start wmplayer.exe download, please download DLL Suite and then take the recommended instruction on the software interface.
How to prevent wmplayer.exe error?
wmplayer.exe problems can arise due to many aspects, including TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK virus infection, malware Program:Win32/CaiFu, antivirus Quick Heal Mobile Security installation, missing gpsvc.dll, out-of-date Windows Media Player driver, etc. To fix and prevent wmplayer.exe error, you can take the following methods:
- Keep your Windows Media Player driver up-to-date and all of your DLL versions are correct with DLL Suite. Download DLL Suite
- Clean up invalid registry keys of wmplayer.exe with UniOptimizer. Download UniOptimizer
- Keep your computer is TrojanSpy:Win32/Banker.CK and Program:Win32/CaiFu free by using anti-spyware Hit Malware. Download Hit Malware

There really is hope for the party based on a couple of things I observed yesterday.
First, there is the saga of selecting a replacement candidate for House District 70. The local party endorsed Chris England, an assistant Tuscaloosa city attorney who is also the son of county Circuit Judge John England. Joe Reed doesn't like John England, so he found his own nominee, Ken King. Joe Turnham had nothing but praise for both of these young men. Chris England narrowly edged Mr. King, and after the vote I watched as they shook hands and then hugged, with Ken promising to support Chris. Later, I walked out to the lobby and saw them, still deep in conversation, and they shook hands again when they parted. These two look like class acts, people, and I hope they are the future of the party.
Second, when it came time for the committee to discuss and vote on District 54, I sat down by two black women in the spectator section. After a few minutes, I realized that they had come to observe some other issue before the committee and didn't know about this particular dispute. They were listening closely to the speakers, and then they turned to me and began to whisper questions. Which one was Ms. Todd? I pointed her out. Why was there a problem with a report that nobody files? If Ms. Todd got the most votes, why was there any dispute? When it was time to vote, one of them said, "We're praying that you win." Afterward, they stopped me in the lobby and asked for some more information about Patricia.
And when I finally had the opportunity to check out al.com, here's what I saw:
Yep, that would be one of Patricia's new supporters giving her a hug.
ADDENDUM: Zach's post on yesterday's events is much funnier than mine, but it's also quite heartwarming.

|It [my wedding] was the most meaningful thing that ever happened to me in my lifetime. In a Navajo wedding, the total focus is on the man, not the woman. The woman is coached and everything by her mother and aunts beforehand. The man is brought to the wedding, and then the entire focus of that wedding is on the man, understanding what he's getting himself into. Because she doesn't become part of your family. Your parents don't acquire a daughter-in-law, they only lose a son. Her family gains a son-in-law that is like a worker ant. He becomes obligated to serve that family, because his children will be part of her family, not part of his family. Your children are a part of your wife's family. And so they want to make sure that you understand what your responsibilities are. And probably for me, even more so than most, because they weren't leaving anything to chance in explaining it to me. And it was all done in Navajo, and I thought it was beautiful.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It doesn't take long to thin the field of championship contenders in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and some believe it has already been reduced to a three-driver race.
LOUDON, N.H. - Dale Earnhardt Jr. insists that he'll be able to ignore the family drama at JR Motorsports when he gets behind the wheel at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday.
CONCORD, N.C. - When a car crashed in his front yard, Jeff Gordon tweeted a photo of the vehicle stuck in his hedges.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Fortunes turn fast in racing. Roger Penske knows that well.
JOLIET, Ill. - Jimmie Johnson took an immediate step toward another Sprint Cup title - but the five-time champion is well aware it was a small one.
JOLIET, Ill. - Ricky Stenhouse Jr. edged past Kyle Busch and into the lead, then held on for the final 20 laps for a relatively easy victory.
RICHMOND, Va. - It's a Hendrick Motorsports front row at Richmond International Raceway.
CHICAGO - The infamous mustache is making a comeback - and Jeff Gordon believes he is, too.
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - Matt Kenseth opened this season with a second victory in the Daytona 500, and it didn't take him long to establish himself as a legitimate championship contender.
As he clung to his championship chances, Ryan Hunter-Reay was able to see past his selfish motives to the bigger picture.
HAMPTON, Ga. - Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth have smoothed things over after their helmet-throwing dustup.
HAMPTON, Ga. - On the advice of his teammate, Tony Stewart took the high road
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Kyle Busch seems awfully unhappy these days.
BROOKLYN, Mich. - Some of NASCAR's biggest names are trying to keep their championship hopes alive and the Chase for the Sprint Cup is still about a month away.
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - Juan Pablo Montoya prefers running up front, and it grates on him when he doesn't.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. imagined his Nationwide Series trophy was a chalice, tipped it back and acted like he was taking a big swig of champagne or beer - the beverages of choice for NASCAR winners and champions.
It was some six hours after Kevin Harvick had won his first Sprint Cup championship when he was finally able to peel off his beer-soaked firesuit, take a shower and begin celebrating the biggest moment of his career.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. - There was pushing, punching, one ambush in a darkened garage and a bloody brawl. There were thousands of hours spent analyzing the path to the Sprint Cup title as teams tried to adapt to NASCAR's new championship format.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Ryan Newman is the underdog - minus the darling - of NASCAR's final four, making a mockery of the revamped playoff format that was supposed to put a premium on winning.
MIAMI - There's no Jeff, Jimmie or Junior. Bad Brad missed the cut and Smoke never contended.
NASCAR's new championship format, lauded for creating nail-biting intensity, wild emotional swings and tension on and off of the track, has also been full of heartbreak.
AVONDALE, Ariz. - Denny Hamlin had a championship within his sights before, four years ago when the Sprint Cup title was his to lose.
DOVER, Del. - NASCAR driver Kurt Busch has been accused of domestic assault by his ex-girlfriend, and police in Delaware said Friday they are investigating.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Denny Hamlin thinks most drivers don't respect Brad Keselowski, and the contempt stems from the 2012 NASCAR champion's refusal to show any remorse for his aggressive driving.
In the closing laps at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon could see Dale Earnhardt Jr. ahead of him with enough time to formulate a plan on how to handle his teammate if Gordon could catch him.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth look a bit out of place this late in NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with those zeroes under the column for wins.

Terming coal blocks allocation scam monumental, BJP criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Rajya Sabha over missing files of the case seeking an explanation from him in this regard.
The issue was raised by the main Opposition Party during Zero Hour.
BJP MP Prakash Javadekar (BJP) said that two days back the Prime Minister said he was not the custodian of files whereas the Opposition believed "he is not only the custodian of the files but also the custodian of the nation but not performing both the tasks well."
"It is a monumental scam and occurred when the Prime Minister was the Coal Minister…PM should give a statement on this," Javadekar said, demanding to know whether any FIR was lodged in the missing files issue despite the Supreme Court asking for it.
Amid attack over missing files pertaining to allocation of coal mines, Prime Minister had on August 30 said in Rajya Sabha, "I am not the custodian of files in the Coal Ministry."
Dissatisfied with the reply, Javadekar launched a scathing attack on the Government saying it "is doing a massive cover up" and sought PM's statement on it.
This is like handing over the keys of the treasury to the accused, Javadekar said adding, "CBI as well as the Coal Ministry has said before PAC (Public Accounts Committee) that all important files are missing…We demand don't keep such people who were instrumental in changing the files."
As he said that the scam has "smeared the face of the Government" and continued to target PM, members from treasury benches countered him while BJP members shouted "shame-shame".
Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP) joined Javadekar saying, "There was a discussion on it but PM's clarifications are pending. This is a monumental scam."
Prasad said the Prime Minister should make a statement, which saw Minister of State Rajeev Shukla as well as some Congress members retorting that Singh has already replied twice on the issue.
Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien interrupted saying, "It is not the fault of the PM. PM had come."
However, BJP members kept shouting slogans like "PM jawab do" (PM reply) with Purushottam Khodabhia Rupala saying the party will continue to raise the issue of missing files till the time they were recovered.
