Item# 1532616
I bought 2 pairs!
These are great go to earrings and not so expensive that I worry about losing them. People think they are real, which is a bonus! It would be great if The Limited would start making more earrings with sterling silver.

Look so real!
I purchased these earrings right before the holidays and they were a compliment to many outfits! They are large enough to get noticed, but not completely over-the-top. I received a lot of praise for them and a cousin thought they were real diamonds (sadly, no). My only disappointment is that I almost lost a back to one of them and had it fall out without my knowing (luckily I caught the slip before it was too late). Maybe if you wear a less slippery pair of backs (rubber/plastic?) it would be better. All in all though, they are amazing!

Perfect sparkle!
I kind of purchased these earrings on a whim, but they have turned out to be great! I agree with the previous review, that they are big but not too big. Also, they way they are cut, a lot of light is reflected in the stone, so they sparkle a lot (usually not the case for most cz stones). Wear these at work and going out!
April 5, 2011
Love them..Great staple.
I absolutely love these earrings. They are big enough to be seen, but not too big that they look gawdy. I definitely recommend them.

Who's buying some MSFT Posted by Specktricity on 11/14 at 10:24 am Price seems to be undervalued and just took a big hit because of the shake-up at the top. I'm thinking it could be a good buy.This post was edited on 11/14 at 10:25 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSUcam on 11/14 at 12:51 pm to Specktricity I bought a little while ago around $31. I've lost a big since, but I am still long MSFT. Here's what I know: 1) Great valuation 2) Solid historical earnings 3) Solid brand name and diverse operations 4) Positive outlook with a PC rebound All signs point to price appreciation over the mid-long term. However, never go 100% in one stock! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by OnTheBrink on 11/14 at 12:59 pm to LSUcam CNN Money has this when you go to MSFT. quote: I could be totally wrong but that means that if you are a shareholder tomorrow you get paid a dividend correct? If so, would the price not rise a little around dividend time from people wanting to get in and make a quick buck? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by dustinm27 on 11/14 at 1:27 pm to OnTheBrink was literally just looking at this. I think MSFT is about to see a huge jump and will eventually be very competitive in the tablet marketReply Back to Top |
Posted by Catman88 on 11/14 at 1:56 pm to Specktricity Damn MSFT at 27 looks like a beauty.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by C on 11/14 at 2:02 pm to OnTheBrink quote: No. It typically just falls after the dividend is paid out. Reply Back to Top |
Looks like the low end for MSFT is around 24 dollars.. not a whole lot of risk right now. Reply Back to Top |
quote: If the Surface tablet bombs, there may be huge losses around the corner as they scramble for 'whats next?'. But I think you are right. I may buy in the future. Just need to do some more research. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Specktricity on 11/14 at 8:43 pm to Catman88 quote: My thoughts exactly. I've been watching this one a while thinking it was pretty undervalued with windows 8 and the surface coming out. After the 3% drop because of executive turnover, I made my move today and picked up a small position. If it falls further, I'll buy some more. I don't see much downside and possibly a huge upside. Glad I'm not the only one to think this. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by dustinm27 on 11/16 at 11:22 am to Specktricity quote: also the new xbox comes out next year I believe.. Plenty of potential in MSFT's future Reply Back to Top |
Posted by PhillyTide on 11/19 at 9:19 am to Specktricity I am pretty conservative with my buy targets, but they usually work. I shoot for a 15% annual return. Assuming 9% EPS, Average P/E of 10 and a Payout Ratio of 40%, MSFT would be a strong buy under 20. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Gujam8 on 11/19 at 9:33 am to PhillyTide quote: Under $25 and I might buy some. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by C on 11/19 at 9:56 am to PhillyTide quote: Man if they drop under 20, something has gone horribly wrong and they are in trouble. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by PhillyTide on 11/19 at 10:05 am to C quote: When the market corrects, you can get great bargains like that. You could of picked some up in early 2009 around 16. People need cash and start selling everything. That's the best time to buy. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by C on 11/19 at 10:15 am to PhillyTide quote: If it's a market correction that's happening, I'm probably going to take a risk on something with more volatility. quote: You could have just bought a SP500 fund at the same time and be better off. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by PhillyTide on 11/19 at 10:27 am to C quote: Now you can say that, but what if you bought AAPL instead of MSFT. It's impossible to tell at the time what will perform better, but individual stocks offer greater chances of making big returns than index funds (and greater risk as well). Reply Back to Top |
Posted by C on 11/19 at 10:41 am to PhillyTide quote: We are mixing apples and oranges in this discussion. If you think a market move is happening upward, then higher risk plays tend to get more of a bounce. If you think we are heading down, then stick with established businesses. Obviously if you think a company has a growing business then the market really doesn't mean much. Reply Back to Top Refresh |

Hello! I figure since I've started actually posting on here, I should tell you a bit more about me. I'm almost 23, female and from Australia. Got into fandom late 2006 and have been immersed in it ever since. I still consider myself a very novice writer, even though I am getting a few fics under my belt.
My personal livejournal is friends locked, but I'm pretty easy as to who my friends are. I'm definitely not going to reject you, unless you just randomly add me and don't tell me a single thing about you.
Fic journal is charmafics, and there are a few drabbles and such that I've not posted on here - most of it will be ending up here though.
I think that's all. I hope you enjoy what I write and let me know what you think because its the best way for me to learn and improve. Be brutal. I beg you.

text: May 30, 2013 06:17 Irving's return makes Byron Scott happy about N.O. return Irving's return makes Byron Scott happy about N.O. return Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott watches as an official calls a foul in the first half of an NBA basketball game against the New Orleans Hornets in New Orleans, Sunday, March 31, 2013. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert) Darrell Williams| Special to The Advocate May 30, 2013 Comments NEW ORLEANS — Former Hornets coach Byron Scott was back in town Sunday with the Cleveland Cavaliers, whom he has coached the past three years. "I went back to my old house," said Scott, who coached the Hornets from 2004-09. "There are a lot of pleasant memories here. I said when I signed that I liked the food and the people here. Those haven't changed."0 That was only half of why Scott was happy on a beautiful Easter Sunday. The better half was that point guard Kyrie Irving, who had missed the past eight games — including seven consecutive losses — with a left shoulder sprain had come back to play. Irving, an All-Star in his second season, was injured in a collision with Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas on March 10 and was expected to miss a month. However, he was likely to be shut down for the rest of the season, the team protecting its most valuable asset with it not going to the playoffs. "He went through drills (Saturday) and moved around well, and we exposed him to contact," Scott said. "He said he felt fine, and everything looked OK." That was the first time Irving, the 2012 Rookie of the Year after being the overall first pick in the draft from Duke, had done anything other than shoot at practices since the injury occurred, Scott said. Seen walking to the court an hour before the game, Irving was asked if he was going to play, and said "Yes." Asked how the shoulder felt, he responded "Great." Scott said Irving, the will be put on a playing restriction, however. Similar to the one the Hornets have with guard Eric Gordon, Irving will not play back-to-back games. "He's not playing (Monday) against Atlanta," Scott said. "We want to be very cautious with him." When Irving was told about the restrict, he said "Why not wait until tomorrow" to make a decision. "He's a lot like Chris Paul in him in that he'll try to state his case," Scott said of the former Hornets point guard who was drafted in 2005 with him as coach. "But that's just the competitor in him. He doesn't want to sit out; he wants to play." That's not the only comparison to Paul that Irving has drawn. He is proving to be one of the quickest point guards in the league, excellent at driving to the basket and scoring or assisting. And, he is shooting 41.4 percent on 3-point attempts. He won the 3-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. Irving came into Sunday night's game averaging 23.0 points and 5.7 assists. Against the Hornets, he had 31 points on 11 of 20 shooting. In his first game against the Hornets this season, on Feb. 20 at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, he scored 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting. More important, 20 came in a 37-point Cavs fourth quarter, as they held off the Hornets 105-100. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

[Ed. 9/3 An important note: I received an advance/uncorrected copy of the book this summer and wrote this review in early July and held onto it, waiting for clearance to pull the trigger. In the time since there have been several excerpts, interviews and reviews out there. I left my early July thoughts basically unchanged. Fourth And Long hits stores today. And P.S. I have questions from July (and now answers) into Bacon on the book � will be posting shortly.]
If you read this site you probably won�t need to be nudged to pick up pretty much any book John U. Bacon writes on sports. You won�t be disappointed with his latest. In 4&L Bacon walks you through 2012 Big Ten football season looking primarily though the travails of four teams: Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Northwestern. This passage from early on kind of sets the stage Bacon�s work and why he chose the Big Ten as his canvas:
Given the Big Ten's unique place in the pantheon of college football–the exemplar that has combined academic power, athletic prowess, and commercial popularity, with a minimum of miscues before 2010–the conference, its twelve-hundred-plus football players, and 17.5 million fans aren't merely canaries in the coal mine. They're the coal miners.

Reviews (4)
We just received two of these. We installed on the door in the inside of the coop. There is more floor space now, it doesn't get as dirty, doesn't spill, and easy to fill. Going to order two more soon.
"Be Careful"
We are ordering more of these. Be Careful to set them up right. The ring must be right side up or the bowl will fall out. The Clamp must be set properly on the kennel wires or it will slide down to the next wire crossing. Once you master the simplicity of this bowl - you will love it. No more spilling.
"Great bowls for cages"
These bowls are great! Easy to use but don't put them on upside down or the cup will fall through! Easily clamps onto various surfaces and different types of cages. I love the stainless steel-it's so easy to keep clean.
"Stainless Bowl with Clamp Holder"
I fastened the screw on clamp to the side of the cage, placed the bowl into the holder,filled the bowl with water, the bowl fell through the holder. So much for that.

Having just done an upgrade from a Radeon HD3870 to a Nvidia GTX660Ti, I must say that AMD drivers are fairly good.
I think AMD are better at Linux integration as in RandR and start up modes where my Nvidia driver starts Kubuntu with the screen orientation wrong for my dual monitor setup. I also have been getting flash video overlay problems which I didn't get on AMD/ATI.
Nvidia seems to be better for Wine games, as I now don't get missing textures in Everquest, that I was experiencing before and is a known problem with AMD/ATI.
I wouldn't have a problem getting another ATI if this Nvidia card I have now, dies. I worry as Nvidia cards are known to have burn out problems with past releases.

More About Horror Films
Horror films are designed to unsettle our nerves and prey upon our hidden fears. In addition, they are meant to cause frighten, panic, dread and alarm. Most horror films include a terrifying, shocking finale, while simultaneously are both captivating and entertaining. Revolving around the darker side of life, including the strange, the forbidden and the disturbing, horror films depict a snapshot of life none of us wish to experience firsthand. They deal with our most basic nature and fears, such as our terror of the unknown, our helplessness, our nightmares, our alienation, our revulsions, our fear of death, our loss of self and our fear of sexuality. Horror films are also commonly called scary movies, macabre, spookfests and chillers.
Best Horror Films
- The Exorcist- Released in 1973, this movie involves the possession of a little girl. A young and old priest are charged to investigate, where they first come to believe, then spend the rest of the movie fighting back the devil for control of the young girl's soul. This is one of the best horror films to depict the consequences of true faith.
- Psycho- Released in 1960. Brought to life by Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho is the true epitome of suspense and tension. Revolving around a crazy Norman Bates and his even crazier mother, this movie tells the story of a killer who is brought to justice after many victims are claimed. Do you know the true secret of the Bates family?
- Alien- Released in 1979, this science fiction horror movie is set several centuries in the future when humanity has ventured into outer space. The crew of a mining vessel becomes unwitting hosts to a bloodthirsty alien life form. This is the best horror film to depict sheer claustrophobic terror.
- Jaws- Released in 1975. The first blockbuster and best horror film from director Steven Spielberg, Jaws is both a monster movie and character study. A killer shark wreaks havoc on a small town, claiming many victims, while local sheriff works to take down the menace.
- Silence of the Lambs: Released in 1991. According to the Academy, this was the best (horror) film released that year. The film's premise revolves around using an imprisoned serial killer to help catch another serial killer. This is one of the scariest, psychological thrillers ever made.
New Horror Films 2014
What will be your favorite horror film in 2014? This year looks to be a scary 2014 serving up a host of adrenaline-surging thrillers. Tales vary from haunted house tales, monster tales and supernatural beings to serial killers and malevolent entities. This year is shaping up to be everything you've ever wanted from the horror industry.

I think you mean KDM (the KDE Display Manager)
Phoronix: KDE SC 4.7 Hits Beta With Some Fun Changes
The KDE community this morning has announced the first beta for the upcoming major release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7. Many of the KDE packages have received major work during the 4.7 cycle, but in particular there's some prominent changes to KWin, Dolphin, KDM, and Marble...
I think you mean KDM (the KDE Display Manager)
KDE 4.6 was my last release - I'll give XFCE a try after beeing plagued by quite a few bugs and not-so-stellar performance for years.
In my point of view KDE has always been a bit of a heavyweight since I bought an AMD Athlon 2800 XP+. Older current versions around Pentium 4 days and earlier were great.
I don't understand why KDE 4.6 is such a heavyweight. On my PC it's pretty snappy (however sometimes the Kicker menu freezes for a couple of seconds while the rest of Plasma remains fast and responsive.
Anyway XFCE is great for single core CPUs. Don't understand why Gnome is so great. XFCE has all the features and Gnome integration pretty much.
Sure has bugs, but overall I really like it.
Besides, I am a bit smarter that some other KDE users... I also use some gnome programs that are better that KDE ones (pidgin, gnote, evolution, and synaptics)
So overall I never had better desktop tat I have currently
(although to be honest, KDE3 which I used before switching to gnome was pretty good)
How about fixing the behaviour of the GUI?
I am extremely distracted by the way the different parts of the dolphin window behave when resizing with senseless scrolling occuring or how the file view has a minimum size and will rather resize any other panel than itself beyond that - not restoring their original size after making the window bigger again.
An example I have captured on video are the icons in the filechooser:
But what I would really like is to make the applications run in a "non-KDE-mode" so that they shutdown any other daemon (kded, kdeinit, knotify, qclipboard, soprano, virtuoso, akonadi, etc. etc.) after they exit when they are running in another desktop environment.
Coming to the actual news:
Advanced OpenGL features in the window manager is a cool thing. No, I mean it really.
But do they manage to get the ressource usage of kwin right? It isn't always as good as other windowmanagers I heard... And is it well supported by the current graphics drivers. Gnome3 is still very buggy with fglrx.
This is the result of a broken widgets theme. Had a similar problem once when I chose to use the current GTK theme for KDE applications. Reverting back to Oxygen fixed the problem.
It's not KDE's fault when 3rd party themes are broken. If the same behavior occurs with Oxygen, the KDE folks can fix Oxygen. If the behavior only occurs with non-Oxygen themes, report a bug with the theme's author.

In fact, the first professional female skater, Patti McGee, was featured on the cover of Life magazine in May, 1954. By the 1970s, women were a big part of the California skate scene and skated alongside men in crews such as the Z-Boys. Many of these photos were taken by the great skateboard and surfing photographer Warren Bolster. For more 70s skate photos, check out CalStreets.

Gallery: Atwater Valley Prefab School For At-Risk Students Opens in Mer...
Gen7 Schools is a division of the American Modular Systems and this is their first entire school campus and they were able to achieve a 60% reduction in build time compared to traditional construction.
The new Atwater Community Day School is composed of a four-wing classroom building, administrative offices, art and science labs. The campus was specially designed to integrate educational, recreational and vocational facilities to fit the unique needs of 200 high school students, plus 30 sixth through eighth graders. Normally designing and building a special needs campus like this would take a bit of time, but Merced County and Gen7 were able to design, fabricate and install the entire school in just 6 months.
As for energy efficiency, the prefab school makes use of state-of-the-art mechanical and ventilation systems combined with innovative smart lighting, daylight harvesting, a well-insulated building envelope, and a cool roof. One of the buildings features a sun-shading photovoltaic system that generates energy for the school, while the rest feature a metal shade device to minimize solar heat gain. Gen7 Schools is a division of American Modular Systems and this is their first entire school campus. Despite that, they were able to achieve a 60% reduction in build time compared to traditional construction!
"Gen7 was the ideal solution for us, setting the standard for environmental design, performance and ease of maintenance. The facility will function at a higher level and so will the students, in bright, comfortable classrooms with better lighting, top-notch acoustics and a modern appearance," says Terry Ruscoe, Director of Support Services with the County. "We anticipate at least 30 percent savings in utility costs and expect the buildings will have a 50-year lifespan, like conventional school construction."

At-risk students are students who are not experiencing success in school and are potential dropouts. Not every charter school is good, but the beauty of competition is that bad ones go out of business, while good ones expand. Then good schools teach more kids. Choice and competition produce quality. Government schools rarely improve because no matter how bad they are, they still have "captive customers". School spending has doubled over the past 30 years. Yet what do we get? More fancy buildings (like the one above) and more assistant principals and more bureaucracy. f you graph the numbers, the spending line slopes steeply, while the lines for reading, math and science scores are as flat as a corpse's EKG. Charters let them escape the bureaucracy of regular schools, including, often, teachers union rules. These schools compete for kids because parents can always choose another school. That makes them better. No politician wants children to think for themselves and to be innovative, that's why republicans and democrats don't change the school systems, we are taught that capitalism is evil from age five to eighteen. Teaching that free market capitalism is the engine that will inspire and fuel the talents of these young kids who liberals think are out of reach or not "smart enough".

When will Counterstrike: GO be released for Linux??
Phoronix: Counter-Strike: Source Linux GPU Benchmarks
Last week I provided some new NVIDIA GeForce Team Fortress 2 benchmarks for Valve's popular Team Fortress 2 game and those Linux benchmark results were followed by 9-Way AMD Radeon Linux results for this Source Engine game. Now for starting off a new week is just not new benchmark results but a Counter-Strike: Source test profile for benchmarking...
When will Counterstrike: GO be released for Linux??
Michael thank you. That's the game benchmarks we want to see.
I would be cool if there was a Dota2 benchmark, that's the only Valve game likely to put some serious stress on recent video cards.
The 9800GT results for TF2 were really strange, and this seems to confirm it: at 1080p the 9800GT is doing 110fps while the GTX650 is doing 155fps; with TF2 we had 15fps vs 108fps, which seems to be a bit too much, and it's far from what I see with my own 9800GT.
I can't test (precisely test starts, but I see CS without textures) CS Source via phoronix test suite on Fedora 20 64 bit. I think, I know reason/cause for this. I am using Intel GPU and of course open source drivers. When I wanted to play CS, I must type in terminal emulator:
force_s3tc_enable=true steam
And when I type it, everything is ok. So, could you Michael Larabel try to automaticaly export force_s3tc_enable=true when test starts? It is patented technology in some countries, so maybe a little warning to user of phoronix-test-suite and question will be safer from legal point of view, I think.

Show Day: New Jersey - Continental Airlines Arena, Show 2
22 June 2001
Show Day: New Jersey - Continental Airlines Arena, Show 2
I have a very early departure from the hotel tomorrow, so I did all my packing this morning. As things stand I could well be one of the USA's leading exporters of dirty laundry. The drive out to the venue-formerly-known-as-the-Meadowlands was brutal, being Friday afternoon traffic and all. Still nothing could dampen the enthusiasm in the air - half term is upon us, so spirits and silly jokes were high.
I received a mild reprimand from Polly Harvey, as at Madison Square Garden, in a fit of spontaneous creative lunacy I cut out a six foot long cardboard fish and waved it about in the mosh pit during her set in the song "Down By The Water". She burst out laughing, which was less than entirely appropriate during a song about (I think) somebody's wayward daughter who becomes a hooker and drowns herself. I don't think she was really cross, but it would perhaps be best not to repeat the exercise.
After dinner I was privileged to experience the most surreal moment of my year to date. I was making a cup of tea, grumbling to myself that I was having to utilise the tea-bag-in-polystyrene-cup method, the Limoges china having been packed away. Just as I was giving the bag that final squeeze and manoeuvering it onto a plastic spoon and into the rubbish bin by the doorway, I looked up and saw Bill Clinton, standing right there in the corridor just outside. Our eyes met momentarily then he beamed and pumped my arm warmly before moving on. 'Gobsmacked' doesn't even come close. Turns out he was just one name on a spectacular guest list. At various points during the show, Bono welcomed various guests when appropriate and I did wonder if the audience would eventually start to think he was just having them on - the Beastie Boys and two thirds of R.E.M. may have sounded believable, but when we got to Kofi Annan and William Jefferson Clinton plausibility might understandably begin to wane. It was probably just as well he didn't mention Caroline Kennedy. They were all there though, jammed onto the guest platform in front of me at the mix position, along with more secret service agents than you could shake a stick at. Bill and Chelsea Clinton stayed for the whole show. It was indescribably bizarre to look at this extraordinary man, with a face so absurdly familiar. It was hard to comprehend that this was happening live.
We had a lot of fun tonight with a few surprises thrown in. Danny Lanois made a guest appearance on a couple of songs and the band even played "Wild Honey" for the first time, closing this first leg of the Elevation Tour on a real high. Its been, in short, fantastic. Fifty shows without a single dud.
Are we feeling just a teeny bit proud of ourselves? You bet we are.

Jeeez, stop feeding the obvious troll. You don't need an IP comparison to figure out that 'BSD Sucks and Dies' and 'BSD Bullshitdistro' is the same guy, also you don't need a degree in 'internet' to realize that with account names like that it's someone just looking to start flamewars.
Sometimes it's hard to know if someone is actually trolling or is just plain deluded, but seriously what we have here could be in the dictionary under 'internet-troll'. Just ignore him. Please.
I would, but trolling the trolls is rather fun to me. It would not be a good idea to just let him spread his desinformation. People could actually believe him.

Man of Steel looks awesome!
I haven't anticipated a DC movie since probably Batman Forever. I know, it was so-so but there was really nothing else comic-book wise at the time.
You know, if DC sticks to their guns and do a Batman cameo/reference at the end of this movie, you know people will go apeshit. Iron Man had Nick Fury showing up. That was cool. DC/WB should cut to the chase and show a big gun. Say a post credit scene of a dude in what looks like a batcave (since they might cast Bats by then, they could have a silhouette or from behind shot and Mr Wayne is watching all the Supes footage all his TV screens (maybe throw in a GL footage in a corner somewhere).
Now that alone would be DC fanboy drool.

I've been writing code since I was 12 years old (professionally since 22 or so), and some day – hopefully soon - I'll figure out how to do it properly.
I'm married (sorry ladies), and she's gorgeous, she's so far out of my league we're playing different sports. I swear there are days I marvel that she doesn't snap out of it and decide she can do far better :) . . . but I'm very glad she doesn't.
My second love for many years would have been C++, which has been pushed out by C#, very powerful, very concise.
I often work with Vb, but I dislike it, being much more enamoured of the curly brace than I am of hugely verbose syntax.
Although it's many years since we last parted, I still hold a grudge against Vb3, 4, 5 & 6, oh, and all flavours of VBA. Languages that are, IMHO, as wrong and unholy as . . . well . . . something that's really wrong and unholy (pick your own desecration and go with that imagery, I'm not going to do all the work for you). . . there are whole years I spent bleeding and blistered on the Pre Vb.Net cross . . . and I'm glad I can say "never again".

They were always hidden, Thetargos.
What I do hate about these games is that refuse to evolve the genre to better things. I think there are ways to give the genre new life, but they all choose the old formula.
Yesterday I was browsing around the mall with my fiancè, as usual I stopped at the computing isle of a department store and saw XPlane was on sale, I made a comment about this to my girl and how it is the Pro flight simulator and what not, that it was actually nice to see it on sale, etc, when she picked up a case, looked at me deeply surprised and showed me the game case she just picked up, and it was Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Reading through the comments on the case, and the minimum system requirements I was amazed it was a "recent" title, but it had one "problem" (in our eyes, at least), it was completely in Spanish**. We bought it regardless. So I set out to see if there might be a way for us to get the game in English instead... Lo and behold, I found this site... And was shocked to see there wasn't only one recent title with this favorite character of ours, but four!!! And apparently as back as 2002 I was shocked. So not only can I (and did I) get the game in English in download form, but also I can get the other three games as well... But I'm getting a bit ahead of my self...
So seeing how recent it was (at the store due to the system requirements) I was dubious it would run in Wine on Linux. So I got home and installed it and crossed my fingers to see what would happen. I was truly amazed and glad to see the game start just fine with all settings on high plus 2xAA/8xAF. I was so excited to get this (to us) obscure Windows-only game to work so well in Wine that then I thought "wouldn't it be nice if we had a native port?" We are lacking more adventure games in all computer platforms (Lin, Win, Mac) is not even funny, especially having been an assiduous adventure gamer back in the nineties with all the classic SCUMM-based adventure games and others (like the Kyrandia series, the Gabriel Knight series or the original Sherlock Holmes adventure games). I know I'd be only dreaming, but it would be awesome if LGP or another Linux gaming studio approached these guys to see if would be possible to make a port of these games.
I'm very pleased with several things about this game:
- For starters the fact that Wine can handle it just fine with all settings on high. Being it a DirectX 9 game I was not really surprised, but I was indeed amazed that it handled it so gracefully that performance-wise is amazing, unlike other titles (such as Half Life 2, that in DirectX 9 mode does run, but lags horribly).
- What would an adventure game be without a good plot behind it? The story is very compelling (thus far, I'm only starting the game, and I'm already hooked!), the narrative and story-telling elements are very well crafted.
- What would an adventure game be without puzzles? And this game has some very good ones! Not illogical puzzles of yester games (such Phantasmagoria 2), but truly logical puzzles that not only are there for the for the gaming element, but also help advance the story and enhance the story telling elements. Very high quality.
- Given its gameplay, this game requires exploration, a LOT of exploration of the environment. Unlike games of years past, clues in this game are "hidden in plain sight", so no pixel-hunting for interactive elements in the environment with a mouse pointer. Instead this game relies much more on observation from the player as interactive elements pretty much pop up as you pan the camera in the area that they are.
- It is not the most visually intensive game I've seen, but is indeed one of the most beautiful and detailed adventure games I've ever seen, some areas even feel flat or as if something is missing, but generally it is visually appealing.
- Gameplay... How would you get the gameplay done in a 3D adventure game? Ever since Anachronox (one of my favorite games of all time), I've always thought its control scheme, camera control and general game play (exploration part, not combat!) would fit perfectly for an adventure game. In this case, instead of a third person perspective the player "sits behind the eyes" of Sherlock or Watson in a first person perspective (a la Oblivion) with the all too familiar WASD controls for forward, strafe-left, backward and strafe-right and mouse-look, This works pretty well and since there is no "point & click" interface, interactive elements within the environment have to be more cleverly disguised. The controls work very well if you are used to first person shooter types of games, but for some new people, it might be a daunting and dizzying experience at first
These are the basic elements that have made thus far for me a very enjoyable experience, and alas there is no native client for these games for Linux, the fact that at least The Awekened (and presumably the others) run so well in Wine opens up the possibility for Linux gamers to experience these amazing games. Plus their price tag is not too steep, and you get to download them off their site directly.
We ran into some problems when at my fiancé's PC we tried to run the game. She "inherited" my old FX5900 graphics card, and for the life of me, I couldn't make the game run, apparently it boils down to the fact that the FX series wasn't fully "DirectX 9 compliant" (as evidenced by other games such as Half Life 2, that even in wine detect these cards as DirectX 8.1 class hardware), which means that the renderer initialization crashes on these cards, while it does not crash with NV 6, 7 and 8 series (I'm currently running it on my 8500GT). This narrows quite a bit the number of people that would play this in Wine on Linux (as a lot of people are still running older graphics hardware), and as soon as I get my laptop and load Linux onto it (X1200 ATi graphics) I'll check for ATi/AMD compatibility with Wine and this title. In the mean time, I guess I'll have to check if there is an AppDB entry for these games or not, and in such a case update it.
Beside the problem with the FX5900 graphics card, which is a show stopper, another minor problem I have not been able to correct is that of the conversations log within the game. To make it easier to remember "who said what", the game logs all conversations of Holmes/Watson and other characters, the problem is that the part of the screen that should show the conversations transcripts has no text. This bumps the difficulty bar a bit as you will have to remember all by yourself past conversations. I'm guessing this is due to a font missing in Wine or some such thing, all other texts in the game work just fine.
This post ran way larger than I had originally expected
**Not that we don't like our language, the problem is that most dubbing for games in Spanish is done in Spain (until fairly recently), imagine a title such as Soldier of Fortune with GB English instead of American... Plus it is always a pleasure to hear the eloquent explanations of Holmes spoken in his British accent
They were always hidden, Thetargos.
What I do hate about these games is that refuse to evolve the genre to better things. I think there are ways to give the genre new life, but they all choose the old formula.
Adventures were once very popular and not a niche product at all. But that of course was long before games became popular in which one just runs around and shoots at everything that moves.
You know, just recently another great adventure has been released (at least here in Germany): Perry Rhodan The Adventure. And its a shame they don't release it for Linux, as it already uses OpenGL, *AL and *IL and other open source software and should be cross-platform compatible. They even planned the game to be released on different platforms in the beginning but now seem to have decided against it because of the costs involved. And thanks to the copy protection it is reported to be problematic/unplayable via WINE.
I don't care for WINE or any emulator, if I want to play a game I fire up Windows. Period. However, I only have to start it for playing games and I find it pretty frustrating to see a game being coded to be cross-platform compatible and then don't making any use of it!

«Co-working in the Space»
"Unknown" is not in the list of possible values (Meeting, Workshop, Talk, Slacking, Conference, Hacking) for this property.925 (pronounce: Nine To Five) The idea is that non-members who are un/self/...-employed can come one day a week to the space to get some work done on their projects, We'll make sure it's open and the fridge/coffee-machine are filled up.
So if you feel alone doing your hours in your livingroom/office? tired of mooching Wifi from the neighbours, or just want to spend a day in an 'office' and get some work done? Come over to the Space, meet some people, do some work, have some fun.
I'm not a member, I've never been to your space, can I come?
- Feel more than welcome to drop by our doors are open for everyone.
So where is it?
- Check this page http://0x20.be/Whitespace
How Much does it cost to work a day there?
- It's free, but donations are always appreciated
How does this co-working thing work?
- Well, I'm not sure. I guess you show up, do some work, maybe grab some sandwiches over noon. We have a coffee machine, a watercooler and an ashtray (outside), so there's bound to be some social interaction.
So basically I just show up?
- Might want to bring a laptop, or some paper and pencils.

I'm running Ubuntu Feisty, fully updated, and just installed the ATI driver via the "automatic" installer. Everything went fine, but I cannot load the module and because of that not start Xorg with fglrx active:
