The Season So Far
The Crimson began this season, its 50th with Harry Parker as head coach, by winning the championship eight race at the Head of the Charles Regatta for the first time in 34 years. The varsity then started the spring by coming from behind to top California and take the Copley Cup at the San Diego Crew Classic, while the second varsity eight placed second to Cal. That success continued into a dual season that has been perfect for the varsity so far, including a narrow defeat of Brown for the Stein Cup and a convincing win against Princeton and MIT for the Compton Cup.
Records and Rankings
Harvard owns the top-seeded varsity eight (7-0), second varsity eight (6‑0) and freshman eight (7-0) and third varsity eight (5-0) in the East. The third varsity eight (5-1) and second freshman eight (3-1) are seeded second. The fourth varsity is 1-0 in fourth-varsity competition.
The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight has defeated its last 20 and 35 of its last 36 dual opponents, with the lone loss coming in 2010 at Brown. The Crimson has defeated its last 21 and 43 of its last 44 dual opponents when racing at home on the Charles River. Harvard's last home loss was April 15, 2006 against Princeton. The Harvard freshman eight has defeated 42 straight dual opponents.

The Varsity Eight
The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight is made up of four oarsmen from last year's Eastern-champion varsity (Michael DiSanto, Josh Hicks (Waterford, Australia), Patrick Lapage (Shrewsbury, England), James O'Connor (Christchurch, New Zealand)); two sophomores from the 2011 Sprints‑winning freshman boat (Andrew Holmes (Lochwinnoch, Scotland), Caspar Jopling (London, England)); Sam O'Connor (Christchurch, New Zealand), who missed the 2011 spring with an injury after rowing in the winning varsity boat in 2010, and Parker Washburn (Andover, Mass.) and coxswain David Fuller (Chestnut Hill, Mass.), who won second varsity gold last season. The nine athletes have totaled 15 Sprints golds. Seven of them took part in the Head of the Charles win in October.
Harvard's Major Heavyweight Sprints Championships
Varsity eight: 1947, '48, '49, '59, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70, '74, '75, '76, '77, '80, '83, '85, '88, '89, '90, 2003, '04, '05, '07, '10, '11.
Second varsity eight: 1947, '49, '64, '65, '66, '69, '72, '73, '74, '75, '78, '85, '86, '90, '93, 2002, '03, '04, '05, '06, '11.
Freshman eight: 1949, '50, '55, '58, '63, '65, '67, '72, '76, '80, '83, '84, '85, '86, '90, '99, 2001, '02, '04, '08, '10, '11.
Rowe Cup: 1947, '48, '49, '51, '59, '64, '65, '66, '67, '69, '70, '72, '73, '74, '75, '76, '78, '80, '83, '85, '86, '88, '90, '92, 2002, '03, '04, '06, '07, '10, '11.
On a Roll
Harvard has won the Eastern varsity title in six of the last nine years and is seeking to win back-to-back Sprints crowns for the 17th time and three straight titles for the 11th time. The Crimson last won three in a row in the IRA-title years of 2003, '04 and '05. Yale, which has won six outright Sprints titles and shared one, ranks second in championships won, behind Harvard's 27. Princeton's seven Rowe Cup titles rank second to Harvard's 31.
More Heavyweight History
Harvard has swept the three major heavyweight divisions at Eastern Sprints six times (1945, '65, '85, '90, 2004, '11). Only three other times has one school swept all three races: 1952 (Navy), '79 (Yale) and '94 (Brown). Harvard has won two of the three races on 15 occasions. The Crimson has advanced to the varsity grand final in 62 of the 66 years racing at Sprints. Harvard has won five of the six major events six times.
Team Strength
Of the six events that contribute to the Sprints team competitions (heavy and light varsity, second varsity and freshman eights), Harvard enters with a perfect dual record in three events and a combined 38-7 dual-racing mark.
Sprinting to Success
Harvard has more Sprints titles than any other school. Adding up the six major divisions at Eastern Sprints, Harvard crews have combined to win 141 titles, including 52 at the varsity level (27 heavyweight, 25 lightweight).
Last Season at Sprints
The Harvard heavyweights won four grand finals and swept the Rowe Cup events to claim their 27th Eastern and Ivy titles and 31st Rowe Cup team win while sweeping the varsity eight, second varsity eight and freshman eight events for the sixth time in program history.
Quest for the Cup
Harvard's team victory last season brought the Rowe Cup to Newell Boathouse for a league‑high 31st time. Seven of those wins have come in the last decade.
Seeing Double
On 13 occasions, including last year, both the Harvard heavyweight and lightweight varsity eights won Sprints gold medals, a feat that has only been accomplished four times by non‑Harvard crews. The Crimson won both divisions in 1947, '59, '66, '68, '69, '74, '75, '77, '80, '88, '89, 2005 and '11.
Gold Standard
Only 11 times in the 66-year history of Sprints and six times since 1957 has Harvard failed to win at least one major grand final. In one of those seasons (1981), the Crimson did not compete due to exams. In two others (heavyweight in 1992, lightweight in 2009), Harvard has won a team cup despite not coming away with a gold medal.
Ivy Implications
The top-finishing Ivy League varsity eights in the heavy and light divisions will win the Ivy title. The Harvard heavyweights have earned 27 Ancient Eight crowns since 1957, while the lightweights have won 24.

This is just a short post for a Friday. There has been a lot written over the past few weeks since the PASS summit about changes to the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) programme. As part of that announcement several very useful resources were made available, an series of MCM readiness video list, put together by the good people over at sqlskills.com which can be found here:
There is also a very good reading list which can be found here:
This is a post my own future reference, I would recommend that if you are seriously considering taking the re-vamped MCM, or even if you are not but want a more detailed knowledge of SQL Server, then check out these resources.

No one has stepped forward to claim the large sum of cash found flying around a San Diego freeway in Mission Valley this weekend, police said.
Officers were driving northbound on highway 163 near Interstate 8 when they spotted clothing, debris and cash in the roadway.
"They did a traffic break and we stopped the traffic, picked up all the money that we could find," Sgt. Ken Impellizeri said. "It was a large sum of money floating down the freeway."
U.S. & World
It seems San Diegans learned their lesson from the last time a large sum of cash was scattered across a San Diego Freeway.
In March, drivers stopped to scoop up the bills blowing across the freeway when drug suspects tossed thousands of dollars in cash out of a window during a chase, prompting an investigation.
This time, however, it seems motorists behaved themselves.
"One motorist stopped and we talked to them. They didn't have any money on them," Sgt. Impellizeri said, "Other people were just driving by, nobody else stopped on the freeway."
Police found a bank deposit bag, along with checks and receipts at the scene.
"There was some paperwork in the pouch so we're doing research there to find out where it came from," Sgt. Impellizeri said.
Police impounded the items. They have not yet released details regarding the amount of money found, but they say the cash was in the form of $100 bills.
No robberies were reported in the area at the time of the incident.

48 HASKINS & SELLS June
Miss Hatfield's Twenty-Fifth
Miss Belle A. Hatfield, head of the
typing division of the New York Report

May 15, 1902. She has seen most of us

Yet she retains her sweet disposition
and continues to smile. There is
something inherently fine about a person
who is able to stand twenty-five years of
service in the office of public accountants
and remain good-natured.
Miss Hatfield's record is one of steady
advancement. It seemed to matter little
who initiated recommendations for her increases
in compensation. They were always
on the basis of "meritorious service,"
"increased efficiency," or "continued good
Miss Hatfield's friends in the organization
are legion. She is popular alike with
her co-workers, with the members of the
firm, and with the office boys. Some particular
friend let a drop of very black ink
fall on the year of her birth which, strangely
enough, appears on her application form.
So, we couldn't give away any state secrets
if we wanted to.
Going from the lighter vein in which this
article is written, we congratulate Miss
Hatfield on her anniversary. May she
be watching over the destiny of New York
reports when we have all passed out of the
picture. If we know anything about reports
then, we shall be content.

I have a quadrilateral whose four sides are given

How can I find out its area? What would be the area?

I have a quadrilateral whose four sides are given
$2341276$, $34374833$, $18278172$, $17267343$ units.
How can I find out its area? What would be the area?
Have you seen this (MathWorld article)? In particular, the area of a planar convex quadrilateral is given by $\frac{1}{4}(b^2+d^2-a^2-c^2) \tan \theta$ where $a,b,c$ and $d$ are the side lengths.
I can't comment (not enough reputation), but as this sort of a partial answer anyway, I'll just post it as an answer. Rahula Narain's comment is correct that the area depends on more than just the sidelengths. But assuming the sidelengths are listed in the question in order around the polygon as usual (in fact, assuming any particular order on the sidelengths), the polygon is pretty constricted in terms of its shape (note that the first side is very small compared to the others, and the last two sum to about the same as the second). So it should be possible to get bounds on the area. (Even if we don't assume an order on the sidelengths, there are only three possibilities modulo things that don't affect area. And because one side is so small and one so large, the three areas should all have pretty similar bounds.) Any takers?
If it is a cyclic quadrilateral (i.e. all of its vertices can be contained in one circle) , you can use the Brahmagupta Formula, giving $\sqrt{(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$ are the lengths of the four sides of the quadrilateral, and $s =\dfrac{a + b + c + d}2$ (the semi-perimeter).
If unlike sidelengths actually restrict formation any other quad then our given quad becomes unique and even geometrically we cannot change theta values i.e angles for the given quad.

After allegations, Terrell Suggs marries Candace Williams
- Ravens LB Terrell Suggs married his fiancée, Candace Williams
- Williams alleged abuse at the hands of Suggs in November
- Suggs' attorney says he denies the allegations, issue is "over and done"
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs married his fiancée, Candace Williams.
The announced nuptials come a month after Williams alleged the former Pro Bowler punched her in the neck and dragged her alongside a car he was driving while their two children sat inside.
Suggs announced the marriage on his public Facebook page Saturday morning.
"Last night I married my best friend and the love of my life," he wrote. "Our son gave her away and our daughter looked like a miniature version of my beautiful bride as she stood next to her. I'm a lucky, lucky man. Thank you God for all of your blessings and for showing me such amazing favor."
EARLIER:Suggs faces complaint from domestic incident
RAVENS:Why the team needs Ray Lewis
Williams on Tuesday removed a protective order filed on Nov. 20 which alleged Suggs struck her in September. The couple came to a global resolution agreement in Baltimore County Circuit Court regarding custody of their children, the terms of which were sealed by a judge at the request of Suggs and Williams.
Suggs' attorney says he denies the allegations and the issue is "over and done."
"They're moving forward in the best interests of the children, and they've resolved their personal issues," Lynn Hoffman told The Baltimore Sun.
Suggs is playing with a torn biceps and is questionable to play Sunday vs. Denver after missing last week's game vs. the Washington Redskins.
"It was a must-win game," he said Thursday. "I thought I'd hinder the team by playing last week. But I feel good this week, and we'll just have to see come Sunday. If I'm able to play, I'll be pretty anxious. But it all comes down to how it feels on Sunday."

The Birthday Ball
Princess Patricia Priscilla is bored with her royal life and the excitement surrounding her sixteenth birthday ball. Doomed to endure courtship by three grotesquely unappealing noblemen, she escapes her fateÑfor a week. Disguised as a peasant, she attends the village school as the smart new girl, "Pat," and attracts friends and the attention of the handsome school master. Disgusting suitors, loveable peasants, and the clueless King and Queen collide at the ball, where Princess Patricia Pricilla calls the shots. What began as a cure for boredom, becomes a chance for Princess Patricia Priscilla to break the rules and marry the man she loves.

One of Washington State University's most storied buildings is the venerable Bohler Gymnasium. It has been the home for Cougar Athletics and Physical Education since 1928. The 3000 seat venue is named for J. Fred Bohler, Washington State's head men's basketball coach from 1909 to 1926 who compiled 403 wins.
Men's basketball called Bohler Gym home until 1973, and had a storied history which included head coach Jack Friel's 1941 NCAA runner-up squad. Washington State's women cagers played in the gym from 1970 to 1996 and had an impressive home court mark of 51 wins and 16 losses from 1970 to 1979.
Since 2000, Bohler Gym is the only facility dedicated solely to women's volleyball in the Pacific-10 Conference. Its dominating home court atmosphere, where the fans are virtually on top of the action, has created a unique environment for WSU and is dreaded by all opponents.
To accommodate the increasing needs of nearly 500 men and women student-athletes, an addition was completed in 1997, consolidating the two-story varsity weight room, Marketing and Promotions, Compliance, Sports Information, and Athletic Academic Services. The original Bohler Gym's internal renovation was completed in 2000, and combined with the Addition is now called the Bohler Athletic Complex.

Thermostats don't just control heating. They're getting pretty damn hot themselves. (Really, they are.)
Netatmo has joined forces with designer Philippe Starck to create a thermostat that you'll actually want to show off to friends.
Its minimal white design can be jazzed up with interchangeable coloured plastic frames to match your decor, and its simplicity also wins us over.
Clever little box
Its easy-to-read e-ink display shows you the current and target temperature, which can be changed with a simple click on the top and bottom of the front frame. No buttons, no mess.
There's also a companion iOS and Android app to let you make temperature adjustments wirelessly, as well as schedule times and check the energy usage.
The app can also learn when you're away or what temperatures you prefer at certain times of the day.
It'll set you back US$240 (RM769). Cross our fingers that it'll be available in Malaysia too.

American forces face formidable challenges as President Barack Obama considers an air assault on Islamist fighters in Syria, including intelligence gaps on potential targets, concerns about Syria's air defenses and fears that the militants may have anti-aircraft weapons, current and former U.S. officials say. The Pentagon began preparing options for an assault on Islamic State fighters after the militants last week posted a gruesome video showing the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley. Deliberations by Obama's national security team on expanding the campaign against Islamic State from Iraq into neighboring Syria gathered pace in recent days, officials say. While it is unclear how soon strikes might be launched, Obama's go-ahead for aerial reconnaissance over Syria has raised expectations he will approve the attacks rather than back off as he did last year after threatening to strike Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces. Any air offensive would likely focus on Islamic State's leadership and positions around the city of Raqqa in their stronghold of eastern Syria, and border areas that have served as staging grounds for Islamist forces that have swept into Iraq and taken over a third of the country. But every option carries significant risk. "There are all kinds of downsides and risks that suggest air strikes in Syria are probably not a great idea," said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser under both Republican and Democratic administrations. "But that doesn't mean they won't happen anyway." Efforts to hit the right targets in Syria will be more difficult than in Iraq, hindered by a shortage of reliable on-the-ground intelligence, in contrast to northern Iraq where Iraqi and Kurdish forces provided intelligence. U.S.-backed rebels who could provide intelligence in Syria have yet to coalesce into a potent fighting force. It is unclear, for instance, if they can provide forward spotters needed to help guide any air strikes in territory held by Islamic State. RUSSIAN-BUILT AIR DEFENSES Syria's Russian-built air defense system is another concern. It remains largely intact more than three years into the country's civil war. Assad may opt not to use it, mindful that he could benefit from a U.S. assault on Islamic State. He has struggled to fend off advances by the radical offshoot of al Qaeda, which has taken three Syrian military bases in northeast Syria in recent weeks, boosted by arms seized in Iraq. He could also face U.S. retaliation for any Syrian government interference in a U.S. air campaign. Of greater concern to Western military planners is anti-aircraft weaponry Islamic State fighters might have acquired. "Flying aircraft over Syria is very different than in Iraq," said Eric Thompson, senior strategic studies analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses, which advises the U.S. military as part of the CNA Corp think tank in Virginia. "There are more sophisticated air defenses, some in the hands of ISIS," he added, using an alternative name for Islamic State. In a recent report, Small Arms Survey, an independent research group based in Geneva, detailed a range of shoulder-launched missile systems in the hands of the militants. Known as MANPAD, or man-portable air defense systems, some were apparently stolen from government stockpiles while others were supplied from outside sources in other countries. INTELLIGENCE GAPS The Pentagon has publicly conceded it has less-than-perfect information about the movements and capabilities of Islamic State fighters, a limitation reflected in a failed attempt by U.S. special forces to rescue Foley in July. Intelligence gaps raise the risk of civilian casualties from any U.S. air strikes in Syria, especially given that the militants are highly mobile and intermingle with the civilian population in urban areas like Raqqa. From unmanned armed drones to powerful Stealth bombers, a wide range of U.S. airpower is at Obama's disposal, including possible missiles fired from warships at sea or from aircraft flying outside Syria's borders. Drones, Obama's weapon of choice in the fight against al Qaeda in Pakistan and Yemen, could also be used, but possibly more for surveillance than missile strikes. Given the risk of missed targets and civilian casualties, U.S. forces typically prefer to operate drones in tandem with intelligence operatives on the ground. Islamic State leaders' use of encryption in communications is highly sophisticated and hinders efforts to track them, according to U.S. officials familiar with the group's tactics. As a result, Islamic State leaders such as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi are expected to be hard to find.
US air strikes on Syria would face formidable challenges

AFK on a Node
15 minutes or so later, after I had killed Chillmaw and the Commanders under the Citadel with a group, I returned to the Tournament along the same route. When I got close to where I spotted that node the first time, there it was again on the minimap. I swooped down again... to find the very same guy on his mount, on top of the very same node.
What I did next is obvious. I landed on the node, mined it and flew away. The whole episode baffled me. For one thing, there's this guy who's AFK on that node for some strange reason. Was he AFK-guarding it for someone else? If he was a miner, he would have mined it himself. I don't see another explanation. For another, every other miner who passed that way during those 15 minutes probably acted in the same manner that I did. They respected that guy's claim.
I'm really wondering what went through that guy's head. It's likely that he just happened to AFK on a node, without realizing it. On the other hand, if he was actually guarding the node, well then, tough luck.
So what do you think about this? What's the weirdest thing that happened to you regarding a node? What would you have done in this case?
9 comments:
Maybe he just got real life stuff to do and simply left the game for a while, just before landing and mining the node. No one would ever camp a saronite node, come on :-))

As far as i have noticed, its first come first serve... in real time. If you go AFK you loose the right of the claim. I mean really, if your not there to defend your claim, then you claim nothing and anyone can have the node. Beside you dont really know if he came, mined the node and then went AFK. In the time he was AFK another node reappeared. He would loose any claim to the next node, because he doesnt even know its there. He's AFK...
Well thats the Law of the MMO land I have experienced, but hey maybe im wrong...

if you're a miner and that's your only way of making gold, and need to be pseudo-afk for a while (like laundry, cooking, eating, cleaning, etc.)...
why not go afk on a saronite node and come back to the computer every ~5 minutes and if you get lucky, you get lucky.
- September 23, 2009 at 9:20 AM
I used to do that quite alot. I'd find an isolated node, that is usually missed during mining runs, and afk on it while I was doing something else.
I might get stuff, I might not, but for the minimum amount of effort I'd spend on it, it was always worth it.

You guys got a point. In any case I also go by "first come first served" but I'll never claim a node that someone else has clearly reached first or if someone is fighting close to one.
- September 23, 2009 at 6:17 PM
There is also the possibility that it was a bot that auto mined every so often. I have seen people getting rep that way.

this is certainly a strange thing to do.
What once happened to me, was doing herbing routes in TBC in Shadowmoon V and I saw 4-5 can't remember correct, people trying to be the first of that bunch to gather a silly pfft whats the name again, the SMV only herb? anyways I had a good laugh cause I was watching it from above and noticed another node not that far away (on minimap visible) that nobody was taking :)
- September 24, 2009 at 2:16 PM
This comment is to let you know that I loved your Engi guide. I dropped herbalism and switched to engi in 1 day more or less (425/450 enough for arrows, rocket gloves, flying cloack, speedy boots). I'm not in a hurry for jeeves so... I will enjoy my new firepower for now :D
- September 24, 2009 at 3:28 PM

@Anonymous I doubt it was a bot. The guy had one of those achievement mounts.
@Geforce lol blinded by greed!
@Dalaila hey thanks! I glad my guide helped. I think you should go for Jeeves. The schematic is really easy to get. The only difficult part is navigating inside BRD if you don't know the place. And after that, the price of the mats...

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, and U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, a Miami Democrat whose district includes part of South Broward, collected Tuesday on Wasserman Schultz's bet on the Miami Heat.
She wagered with U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, on the outcome of the NBA Finals in which the Miami Heat beat his city's San Antonio Spurs.
Castro provided a meal of tamales, black beans, rice and fresh avocado from La Gloria Restaurant in San Antonio for Tuesday's lunch.
Wasserman Schultz had anted up Joe's Stone Crabs, which showed her confidence in the Heat. A dinner for two, including shipping, ranges from $127 to $194, depending on the size of the claws
Wasserman Schultz's district doesn't include Miami's American Airlines Arena, but she does represent South Beach, home to Joe's – and the place that TV commentators and some players frequently and incorrectly describe as the home of the Heat.

Recently, a question from a Canadian veterinarian caught my attention because it is never heard in the U.S.: "What is the most economical level of understocking for a dairy herd?" Obviously I thought it had to be a typo – no one ever considers understocking their pens! However, the Canadian system of managing their milk supply does make it economical to understock, unlike the U.S. situation.
As I wrote out my reply, it occurred to me that there may well be nutritious "food for thought" for dairy producers despite the prevailing paradigm of overcrowding. Although overcrowding may improve the economic returns on facility investments, it also constrains the cow's ability to practice natural behaviors. What does the cow tell us when she finds herself in understocked pens? What are the economics of under-crowding?
There's not much information I'm aware of that demonstrates a positive performance response to less than 100% stocking rate of stalls or bunk space. Certainly, there are insufficient production data from well-controlled studies to apply sound economics. Of course the economic benefits of understocked transition pens are well established (where the target is more like 80% rather than 100% stocking density), but what about under-crowded production pens?
Studies to date show that providing more than the usually recommended 24 inches of bunk space per cow (such as 30 in./cow), or greater than one headlock per cow, improves the percentage of cows that can eat within the first hour after feed delivery, although dry matter intake was not measured in these studies. British Columbia researchers compared 20 versus 40 inches of bunk space per cow and observed 57% fewer aggressive interactions while eating and 24% greater feeding activity after fresh feed delivery, especially for the subordinate cows (no surprise). One could infer a health or productive benefit from this enhanced feeding activity, especially for more subordinate cows in a pen, but quantifying an economic impact isn't possible with the limited information published to-date.
Does under- or over-crowding the feed bunk influence the cow's decision-making process? A recent study found that about 40% of subordinate cows preferred to eat a less palatable grain mix alone rather than compete with a dominant cow for more palatable grain – even with 30 in./cow of bunk space available. I would also throw in my personal observation from when I was in Nebraska that several dairy farms with 6-row barns experienced better milk production when they managed their pens at about 85% stocking density (stall basis) which essentially corrected for the overcrowding at the bunk inherent in a 6-row design. Most studies I have read found little to no effect on lying time when stalls are understocked (i.e. less than 1 cow per stall). It is still an open question what happens when both the stalls and bunk space are understocked.
Finally, there is a European study that examined the milk production variance among 47 dairy herds and they found that stocking density of stalls alone explained about 1/3 of the variation in milk yield among farms. Between 80 and 120% stall stocking density the herds averaged about 64 pounds/cow/day. At 80% or below, herds averaged about 68 pounds/cow. There was considerable variation among farms, so I would take this milk data with a grain of salt, but it does indicate the potential for a positive milk response with under-crowded cows.
So, does understocking make sense? Economically, no. But we need to think about what the natural cow responses are telling us when there is super-abundant access to stalls and feed (>1 headlock or 24 inches of bunk space per cow; >1 stall per cow). Our industry may well benefit if we can figure out strategies that allow greater access to resources for the individual cow housed in a group (especially the subordinate cow), but within an economical management system.
Located in northern New York, the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute conducts research programs that apply basic science to contemporary problems confronting the dairy industry, with a focus on the crop-animal-environment interface, and cow comfort and behavior.

This Book Will Self-Destruct In 26 Circulations
As eBooks proliferate, traditional print publishers are challenged to adapt to the changing market. The latest obstacle involves the role of eBooks in libraries. HarperCollins, one of six major U.S. publishers, recently announced changes in its eBook policy for libraries. The new policy, reported by Library Journal, limits each copy of an eBook to twenty-six checkouts. This means that a library must either discontinue an eBook's circulation or purchase a new license after twenty-six checkouts. Continue Reading →

How To Install Windows 8 On VirtualBox
So you downloaded Windows 8 and now want to try it out on VirtualBox but are constantly getting errors? You are not alone. Installing Windows 8 on VirtualBox is tricky but not that hard once you get to know the basics. In this guide, we will explain the step by step procedure to installing Windows 8 on VirtualBox 4.1.2 (which is the latest version). Advanced users might want to skip the first few steps and directly go to settings.
This guide is a part of our detailed coverage of Windows 8's new features and improvements.
- How To Install Windows 8 On VirtualBox (Currently Viewing)
- What's New In Windows 8 Desktop, Start Search, And Start Menu
- The Complete Guide To Windows 8 Explorer, New Ribbon Tools And Options
- The Complete Guide To Windows 8 Task Manager, New Features And Options
- Windows 8 PC Settings [Complete Guide]
- How To Refresh Or Reset Your Windows 8 PC [Complete Guide]
- All About Windows 8 FileName Collisions And Copy/Move Dialog Box
- The Complete Guide To Windows 8 Startup Menu
- Sync Windows 8 User Settings Between PCs & Tablets via Windows Live ID
- Quick Overview Of Windows Lock Screen
- The Complete Guide To Windows 8 File History Backup
Important Note: Before we begin, make sure your processor supports Virtualization Technology and is enabled. Windows 8 will not work if your processor does not support Virtualization Technology. Most processors support Virtualization Technology but the option is not enabled by default. You can enable Virtualization Technology option from the BIOS. Now let's begin!
First grab VirtualBox (link given at the bottom of the post) and install it. You will get few Oracle permission pop-ups where you have to click Allow. Once installed, launch VirtualBox and click New. The New Virtual Machine wizard will open up, click Next.
Type the name of the Virtual Machine, we named it Windows 8, select Microsoft Windows as Operating system, and select Windows 7 as version. Important Note: Even if you are running VirtualBox on Windows 7 x64, you still have to select Windows 7 from version. Do not continue if Windows 7 (64-bit) is selected, otherwise VirtualBox will crash. When done, click Next.
We will recommend allocating at least 1GB memory if you are installing Windows 8 32-bit, and at least 3GB memory if you are installing Windows 8 64-bit. I have allocated almost 4GB of RAM as you can see in the screenshot below. When done, click Next.
VirtualBox provides options to either create a new hard disk or use an existing hard disk as a Start-up Disk. By default, it is set to Create new hard disk. Leave it as it is and click next.
In this step, make sure VDI is selected. VDI stands for VirtualBox Disk Image. Click Next.
In this step, select Fixed size or Dynamically allocated based on your needs, so that it does not eat up more virtual disk as allocated by the user. We selected Fixed size but most users prefer Dynamically allocated.
By default, VirtualBox allocates 20GB hard disk space for new machine. You can increase or decrease this amount. We would strongly recommend not to allocated less than 20GB. When done, click Next.
In the last step, you will be given a quick summary of the settings you have selected. Click Create to begin creating virtual disk file.
It will take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes to create a virtual disk space, i.e, a fixed medium storage unit. Please note that it can take more than 30 minutes if you have allocated more than 20GB hard disk space for new machine.
Once the process is complete, in the final step, click Create and you will be taken to the main interface where the Virtual machine will be ready.
Now go to Settings, click System from left sidebar, and make sure that Enable IO APIC is checked in Motherboard tab. You can uncheck Enable absolute pointing device since it is not used by most users.
When done, move to Processor tab and make sure that Enable PAE/NX is checked.
Finally move to Acceleration tab and make sure both Enable VT-x/AMD-V and Enable Nested Paging are checked.
Checking all these settings are important, otherwise Windows 8 will not install on VirtualBox.
Now go to Storage from the left sidebar and click Empty under IDE Controller. Click the CD icon next to CD/DVD Drive selection box and click Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file. Now navigate to the Windows 8 developer build ISO file that you downloaded and select it. When done, click OK.
You will now be back on the main interface. Click Start to begin installation of Windows 8 and follow the on-screen instructions.
After the installation is complete, you can start using Windows 8.
The next time you run Windows 8 virtual machine inside VirtualBox, it will boot straight to the OS. We tested this on VirtualBox 4.1.2 running in Windows 7 x64 system.

NuLabour 'Bribo' laptop pops up on eBay
'Primary Drive: To be re-elected'
One enterprising eBayer is offering buyers the chance to get their hands on a "spanking new, gleaming Bribo laptop, complete with instruction sheet showing you where to place your X when the time comes".
The listing explains:
The government has declared that it will soon issue 270,000 of these Bribos to their core voters so that they may keep up with their children's school progress on the internet, rather than get up off their sofas and walk down to the parent-teacher meetings and ask. In order to exchange them for tax-free CASH, (to allow access to the things that REALLY matter), the inevitable result will be thousands of Bribos listed on eBay shortly after issue, so I am taking this opportunity to list mine now, before the rush.
Bribo is the latest offering in the "class war" series and will be issued exclusively to "low income" families, (i.e. not much money BEFORE benefits are freely distributed to you), so here is a great opportunity for middle-class, rich buyers, (i.e.anyone with initiative or a bit of cash after having paid swingeing tax and NI and not central within Labour's core vote buyers), to get one as well. Yes, yes, we know that you've already paid for these Bribos out of your hard-earned, heavily-taxed income, but that's not the point - after all, who doesn't want the warm glow of satisfaction that comes from paying for a Bribo, ensuring that the money gets to where it's needed - into the pockets of "low income" families, just in time for the general election.
The vendor further explains that the Bribo's browser is "set to the Labour party home page", and includes "full filters and software included to protect the user from harmful on-line experiences, including landing on any page that we consider to be contrary to Labour party targets and anything that doesn't toe the party line".
Sounds good, although there's a touch of the caveat emptor about this deal. Winning bidders must agree in writing they "will use their postal vote for Labour at the forthcoming general election".
The conditions further warn: "This Bribo laptop is an aspiration, not a pledge. We aspire to send it to you, but if you win it, you may not receive it. Stocks are limited and there's currently a rush to get them to as many 'low income' families as possible before the next election is announced. In the case that we are unable to adhere to this aspiration, any moneys that you have paid will not be returned, they will be hosed over poor families or bankers."
Fair enough. If you fancy aspiring to a Bribo laptop, the auction ends on 21 January. ®

Drug Product
CF101, generically known as IB-MECA (methyl 1-[N6-(3-iodobenzyl)-adenin-9-yl]-b-D-ribofuronamide), is an oral small molecule drug formulated in a tablet.
The drug molecular weight is 510 dalton, it is manufactured via a 4-step chemical synthesis (up-scaled to a semi-commercial level) and it's half life time is 9 hours.
Preclinical Pharmacology
The activity of CF101 as an anti-inflammatory agent has been tested in a number of different experimental models including adjuvant and collagen induced arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. In all models tested, CF101 induced a robust anti-inflammatory effect measured by clinical and histological disease scores.
Mechanism of Action
CF101 mechanism of action is A3AR mediated and includes modulation of key signaling proteins, such as PI3K, PKA, PKB/Akt, IKK and NF-кB, resulting in inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production.
The safety of CF101 has been demonstrated in preclinical studies, including among others, toxicology studies of up to 6 months in mice and 9 months in monkeys. CF101 has an excellent human safety profile, demonstrated in more than 1200 patients.
Can-Fite has tested CF101 in a number of Phase II studies in different diseases. A Phase II study in Psoriasis successfully met its primary endpoint showing that CF101 effectively ameliorated disease symptoms. In an interim analysis of the Phase II/III study the data justified full enrollment of the study. Phase II studies in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) demonstrated efficacy of CF101 given as a monotherapy. Moreover, a direct correlation between A3AR at baseline and patients' response to CF101, suggesting its utilization as a predictive biomarker.

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for adding me as your friend!
Noemi Millmann
Of course! Please let me know if you have questions along they way!!
P.S. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you! For some reason, I JUST now saw your response! :)
On wordpress, you don't have to use the HTML version. There is a "visual" option, where your posts look like they will when they are published. I haven't tried sitebuilder. I used GoDaddy for my hosting and they are also SUPER friendly and will walk you step by step through everything. I called both wordpress and godaddy so many times in the beginning and they were always so nice and didn't make me feel like I was asking stupid questions ;)
My site now, is actually the third theme. I started with a simple one, and then changed them as I became more familiar and more comfortable. When you change your theme, everything will populate over, so you don't have to worry about loosing any information. Believe it or not, after seven months of blogging, I have even learned a little HTML!
I hope this helps!
Hi Michelle!

Thanks to SKF advances, turboexpanders featuring magnetic bearings have become the industry's standard solution for cryogenic applications (NGL, dewpoint, ethylene, LNG). SKF S2M Magnetic Bearings allow turboexpanders to operate directly in natural gas and harsh acid gas environments, simplifying auxiliary equipment requirements and related maintenance. The bearings eliminate the need for pressurized oil lube skids, separate cooling/heating systems and complex sealed gas processes.
Supporting the world's largest LNG plant
SKF S2M Magnetic Bearings equip 23 turboexpanders operating at Qatar's largest LNG super train site. SKF S2M Magnetic Bearings have become a standard for Floating LNG (FLNG), increasing safety and reducing footprint, weight and maintenance.

The Dangers of Alcohol and Drugs
Never consume alcohol or other drugs while hunting or when handling firearms. Do not hunt or shoot with anyone who has. Hunting while drunk or while drinking is extremely dangerous to yourself and others. Alcohol affects your mental and physical abilities and impairs your ability to make a good decision. Medicines that cause drowsiness can be especially dangerous when you are handling firearms, operating motorized vehicles, or hunting from tree stands. Always stay fully alert when around firearms!
Examples of hunting skills impaired by alcohol and drugs include:
Judgment: Ability to determine when to shoot and when not to shoot; safe zone of fire.
Coordination: Ability to safely handle firearms; cross obstacles or rough terrain; marksmanship; reaction time.
Speech: Ability to communicate clearly with other members of the hunting party.
Hearing: Ability to locate game.
Vision: Ability to identify game.

A teenage boy grieves next to a makeshift memorial at the site where Ashley Hardmon was shot and killed on July 4 in Chicago. At least nine people were murdered over the holiday weekend.
The onslaught of gun crime in Chicago has spurred members of Congress to convene a summit on urban violence and prompted a state lawmaker to demand the National Guard be called in to stop the "mayhem."
Rep. Booby Rush speaks on Capitol Hill Thursday about the growing violence in Chicago, Illinois, which has reached staggering proportions so far in 2013.
"Every single day we wake up in the city of Chicago, some child, some young adult, some African-American male has been murdered," state Rep. Monique Davis said Thursday. "This is not acceptable.
"I'm hearing from mothers that they are afraid to go outside," she said. "Hospitals are overburdened with 70 gunshot wounds in one day. Ambulances are so busy people are driving victims in their own cars."
Davis held a press conference this week to ask Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn to call in National Guard "to protect our children so they can go to the park and swim and play and have a childhood." She said the governor has not responded.

Police investigate a crime scene where seven people were shot on July 6 in Chicago.
Meanwhile, Congressman Bobby Rush and two other Illinois Democrats announced plans Thursday for an "emergency" summit July 25 at Chicago State University.
The event will be national in scope, but Chicago was chosen because it is "the epicenter of gun violence in the nation," said Rush's spokeswoman, Debra Johnson.
Chicago ended last year as the city with the highest number of murders in the nation. Three weeks later, its reputation as a crime capital was cemented when Hadiya Pendleton, 15, was shot dead days after performing in Washington for President Obama's inauguration festivities.
Police say anti-gang and crime-fighting strategies launched after Pendleton's slaying are working. Official statistics show murders were down 28 percent, from 260 to 188, and shooting incidents fell 24 percent, from 1,117 to 849, in the first half of the year.
However, a bloody Independence Day weekend left at least nine people dead and dozens wounded – including two young boys shot in city parks – making many worry that progress is slowing midway through a long, hot summer.
"It's mayhem," said Davis. "And nobody seems able to stop it."
In 2009, 14-year-old Ondelee Perteet was shot in the jaw at a birthday party. He was left paralyzed from the neck down. Ondelee and his mother talk about how she pushed him through his recovery, and how this "typical kid" from Chicago is beating the odds.

The week in review
Worst ender to a bender: Escort service owner Paulus Irving Perkins is found guilty March 5 of rape, sodomy, and abduction of a 19-year-old woman. During the trial in Lovingston, Paulus admits smoking crack cocaine and says he can't remember his confession to authorities, according to Austin Graham's account in the Daily Progress. The jury recommends a minimum sentence of 35 years.

Dowdell– who pleaded guilty in December to 20 felony counts– in jail until he tells what happened to $850,000 of the $70 million he bilked from victims, Reed Williams reports in the Progress.
Best new gig for former congressman L.F. Payne: UVA's Board of Visitors, to which he was appointed by Governor Mark Warner, along with J.O. "Wubby" Winn, former head of Landmark Communications, IBM exec Susan Y. "Syd" Dorsey, and Georgia M. Willis, Virginia Heartland Bank senior VP.
Best description of how UVA's lack of funding affects its quality: "Lawn of Averages: Why UVA could become just any old school" by econ prof William R. Johnson in the March 9 Washington Post.
Best sign of a rising star: Virginia's junior U.S. Senator George Allen makes the list of Bush senior adviser Karl Rove's network of contacts; Virginia's other senator, John Warner, does not, according to the Post.
Worst reason to say the Pledge: It's the law. A federal judge upholds Virginia's requirement that public school children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and schools to display "In God We Trust."
Worst economic indicator: The number of payroll jobs dropped by 308,000 in February, the largest drop since late 2001, while unemployment creeps up to 5.8 percent.
Worst Catch-22: Homeowners who file claims for house damage are likely to be canceled, especially if they've made two or three claims in the past two years.
Worst wig theft: Cher's black-and-teal wig, valued at between $8,000 and $10,000, is swiped at a sold-out Richmond concert and then returned.
Best break for Hardee's: A jury in Portsmouth rules that the restaurant doesn't have to pay $300,000 to a woman who claims maggot-infested chicken traumatized her four daughters, the AP reports.
Worst break for Jerry Falwell: The Reverend's lawsuit against the owner of www.jerryfalwell.com, which parodies the Lynchburg preacher, is thrown out of federal court in Richmond when the judge claims he doesn't have jurisdiction.
Best account of an exasperated judge: Liesel Nowak's coverage in the Progress of the Frederick Gray wrongful death suit, in which Gray's father is suing Albemarle County Police for $6 million, depicts Circuit Judge Lydia C. Taylor as peeved about the pace of the trial.
Best get for a keynote speaker: Edsel B. Ford II, great-grandson of Henry, will speak at the April 16 Salvation Army Annual Banquet.
Best double take: Crutchfield Corporation's new chief operating officer is David Mathews.
Best new store for European scooter enthusiasts: Vespa is opening a Charlottesville branch on Preston Avenue.
Best indication this year's Virginia Press Association's awards were held in a Bizarro world: Progress reporter Bob Gibson gets a third-place award for his column writing, while Bryan McKenzie wins first place.
Worst feeling of being in a bad dream while still awake: Has the war started yet?

+Logo Design for Tartine, Distillers Arms, Bushmills
Gary Stewart approached Chew Design and asked me to create a logo and branding for his new restaurant, "Tartine".
This would be a new restaurant situated within the already established Distiller's Arms Pub in Bushmills. Gary had just bought the premises and wanted to obviously change things about a bit and give the business a fresher feel.
Logo Design Brief
Gary wanted to keep the original typeface and logo of the Distiller's Arms but have a new cool idea for the Tartine Restaurant. At the time he described his thoughts on the design saying,
"I want to add a new "chic" factor with the addition of a restaurant within the premises eg TARTINE at Distillers Arms. Obviously, the restaurant name being Tartine. I am having a mostly cosmetic refurb/makeover done with more modern fabrics,wall colors,lighting
and aesthetic work done at the outside main entrance.
I am happy with the actual distillers logo/typeface but need a cool idea for Tartine I suppose it is a starting point."
Beyond that, Gary left all design work to me. I had free rein. This can sometimes be a blessing or a hindrance but in this case it helped things along immensely. After a few brainstorming sessions and a quick bit of research into the Distiller's Arms I came came up with a number of ideas. Many would link to the historical ties of the actual pub, it having been the home of the Bushmills Distillery owners for many years. The pub had obviously taken its name from this bit of history and I felt that Tartine could possibly benefit from this as well.
Development of an Idea
Upon receiving the first batch of ideas Gary immediately picked one that he preferred over all others. It was the logo with the barley symbol that caught his eye. The barely symbol comes loosely from the historical ties the pub has with the Bushmills Distillery. Whiskey is made there and barely is used to make whiskey. Gary liked this logo and so I set about developing ideas about colour, layout, spacing and font around this chosen design. Gary was very specific about colour. He wanted the logo to tie in with the new interior colours of his restaurant and also compliment it. He mentioned plum, purple, aubergine, greys, black as colour preferences and I certainly stuck to this set of requirements. Experimenting with colour allowed the design to breathe and develop. I sent through a number of design alternatives.
Refining the barley
Gary was delighted with these samples and became very specific about how he wanted the logo to look. The font needed a little work. Gary liked the idea of elongating a few letters. This would enhance the logo further but we had to be careful. Too much manipulation would make the text and font unreadable. He liked gray and aubergine. He also wanted me to try placing the logo on an oval shape. This would give the design a little more consistency and perhaps tie it in with the theme of its parent pub, the Distillers Arms. I experimented with circular and oval shapes and sent through another batch of samples.
We had pretty much nailed it with this last batch of samples.
Gary picked one that caught his eye and I finalized it for him. The logo is simple, light in colour but definitely effective. It sets the mood almost immediately for Gary's new business venture. Gary was delighted. " You did a great job! Things are beginning to heat up with Tartine and im now at the stage where i need more hours in the day.
Its all good!!"
Another happy client. Another great logo!
