The Daedalus Sentence is a cooperative escape game that challenges players to use limited actions and effective communication in order to flee from their captors and escape a dangerous and ever-changing prison. Use your actions to explore your surroundings, overcome guards, or change the layout of the prison itself - just be careful that the moves you make to save yourself don't doom a teammate!
In Chariot Race, players participate as charioteers in a great race in ancient Rome. Use the dice to complete two laps on the dusty arena's circuit and be the first to steer your chariot over the finish line. On a player's turn, if they have gained enough Favors of Fortuna, they can repair their chariot. Depending on the chariot's speed on the previous turn and its current condition, the initial speed is determined, which defines how many of the five dice will be rolled during the turn. Each face of the six-sided dice allows a different action: Gain new Favors, increase or decrease speed, change lanes, or attack opponents (either directly by hurling javelins or indirectly by dropping caltrops in their path). if the first roll is not satisfactory, the player may call on Fortuna to influence the dice, as long they have her favor. Once the result is set, the player moves their chariot forward according to the final speed they achieved and may then take actions against their rivals.
However, breakneck racing and ramming are not without risk. If two chariots collide, they both take damage, and cornering at a wild gallop is not recommended. The further the safe speed is exceeded, the more damage is caused to the vehicle – which might fall apart in the middle of the arena if the driver is too careless, resulting in their elimination from the race.
Harald has finally unified the different kingdoms and become the King of this powerful nation. With the newly established peace, the different peoples are going to war on a different battle field: one of intrigue and struggles for influence. Send your emissary to the King's Council to win his favor so your village becomes the most prestigious.
Harald is game of influence and majority. As the head of a village, each player will try to charm the most influential character of the realm to be noticed by the king and obtain his favor. But to win you will need to think and use wisely the abilities of each character.
The gameplay for Sluff Off! follows the standard trick-taking formula: The cards are numbered 1-15 in five different suits, and blue is always trump. If someone leads a color, you must follow suit if you can; otherwise, you can throw off a card or trump the trick.
It's an exact-bidding game, but you predict your tricks by taking colored chips. For each trick that you win, you toss a chip back. If you take a trick in a color for which you didn't have a chip, then you must take a black chip (worth -3 points). If you have any colored chips left at the end of the round, they're worth -2 points. If you have any white chips left at the end of the round (wildcards that you get when someone takes a colored chip away from you during bidding), they're worth -4 points.
There's also the Sluffer, whose role is to feed unwanted tricks to other players. Instead of bidding tricks the Sluffer takes 4 black chips each woth -1 for him at the end of the hand. When players take tricks they didn't predict, they take black chips from the Sluffer. If the Sluffer feeds enough of the black chips to other players, it can zero out the Sluffer's score for that round.

Losing 50-plus pounds was a complicated process for 50 Cent — but not an entirely new one.
The rapper, who plays a football player with cancer in the upcoming film "Things Fall Apart," dropped from 214 pounds to 160 in nine weeks after liquid dieting and running on a treadmill three hours a day.

But the 33-year-old said that when he was shot in the jaw in 2000, he could drink only liquids and his weight dropped to 157.
"This time it was a lot tougher for me," the 6-foot-tall rapper said in an interview Friday with the Associated Press.

"I had to discipline myself not … to actually have myself be in the physical state to convey the energy I felt. It's a passion project for me," said 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.
The film is about a childhood friend of the rapper who died of cancer, and is in production.
Actors including Robert De Niro, Christian Bale, Tom Hanks and Renee Zellweger are known for adjusting their weight in movies, and 50 said he did research when keeping the weight off got hard.

"I actually got on the computer," he said. "When it started getting difficult, I was looking to see what their experience was like and I got a chance to see all of the interviews they had at different time periods when they were doing promotion for the projects."
50 has been gaining the lost weight back, though, and said he currently weighs 198 pounds.

He said he doesn't anticipate winning awards for his acting role.
"Well, you know, I haven't received accolades that comes with the success that I've had in music," he said. "It would be a surprise" to win any acting awards, he said, noting that it's already a reward to have people aware of the role.
He released his fourth album, the gold-selling "Before I Self Destruct," in November. He kicks off his North American tour Saturday in Detroit.

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A fill blade or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink into the mesh openings for transfer by capillary action during the squeegee stroke.
Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other
fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced into the mesh openings of the mesh by the fill blade or squeegee and onto the printing surface during the squeegee stroke. It is also known as silkscreen,serigraphy, and serigraph printing. You can also have more than one colour printing, for example you could have a striped printing.
Printing technique
A screen is made of a piece of mesh stretched over a frame. A stencil is formed by blocking off parts of the screen in the negative image of the design to be printed; that is, the open spaces are where the ink will appear on the substrate.
Before printing occurs, the frame and screen must undergo the pre-press process, in which an emulsion is 'scooped' across the mesh and the 'exposure unit' burns away the unnecessary emulsion leaving behind a clean area in the mesh with the identical shape as the desired image. The surface (commonly referred to as a pallet) that the substrate will be printed against is coated with a wide 'pallet tape'. This serves to protect the 'pallet' from any unwanted ink leaking through the substrate and potentially staining the 'pallet' or transferring unwanted ink onto the next substrate. Next, the screen and frame are lined with a tape. The type of tape used in for this purpose often depends upon the ink that is to be printed onto the substrate. These aggressive tapes are generally used for UV and water-based inks due to the inks' lower viscosities. The last process in the 'pre-press' is blocking out any unwanted 'pin-holes' in the emulsion. If these holes are left in the emulsion, the ink will continue through and leave unwanted marks. To block out these holes, materials such as tapes, specialty emulsions and 'block-out pens' may be used effectively.
The screen is placed atop a substrate. Ink is placed on top of the screen, and a floodbar is used to push the ink through the holes in the mesh. The operator begins with the fill bar at the rear of the screen and behind a reservoir of ink. The operator lifts the screen to prevent contact with the substrate and then using a slight amount of downward force pulls the fill bar to the front of the screen. This effectively fills the mesh openings with ink and moves the ink reservoir to the front of the screen. The operator then uses a squeegee (rubber blade) to move the mesh down to the substrate and pushes the squeegee to the rear of the screen. The ink that is in the mesh opening is pumped or squeezed by capillary action to the substrate in a controlled and prescribed amount, i.e. the wet ink deposit is proportional to the thickness of the mesh and or stencil. As the squeegee moves toward the rear of the screen the tension of the mesh pulls the mesh up away from the substrate (called snap-off) leaving the ink upon the substrate surface.
There are three common types of screenprinting presses. The 'flat-bed', 'cylinder', and the most widely used type, the 'rotary'.
Textile items printed with multi-colour designs often use a wet on wet technique, or colors dried while on the press, while graphic items are allowed to dry between colours that are then printed with another screen and often in a different color after the product is re-aligned on the press.
Most screens are ready for recoating at this stage, but sometimes screens will have to undergo a further step in the reclaiming process called dehazing. This additional step removes haze or "ghost images" left behind in the screen once the emulsion has been removed. Ghost images tend to faintly outline the open areas of previous stencils, hence the name. They are the result of ink residue trapped in the mesh, often in the knuckles of the mesh (the points where threads cross).
Stenciling techniques
A method of stenciling that has increased in popularity over the past years is the photo emulsion technique:
1.The original image is created on a transparent overlay, and the image may be drawn or painted directly on the overlay,photocopied, or printed with a computer printer, but making so that the areas to be inked are not transparent. A black-and-white positive may also be used (projected on to the screen). However, unlike traditional platemaking, these screens are normally exposed by using film positives.
2.A screen must then be selected. There are several different mesh counts that can be used depending on the detail of the design being printed. Once a screen is selected, the screen must be coated with emulsion and put to dry in a dark room.Once dry, it is then possible to burn/expose the print.
3.The overlay is placed over the screen, and then exposed with a light source containing ultraviolet light in the 350-420 nanometer spectrum.
4.The screen is washed off thoroughly. The areas of emulsion that were not exposed to light dissolve and wash away,leaving a negative stencil of the image on the mesh.
Another advantage of screenprinting is that large quantities can be produced rapidly with new automatic presses, up to 1800 shirts in 1 hour. The current speed loading record is 1805 shirts printed in one hour, documented on 18 February 2005.Maddie Sikorski of the New Buffalo Shirt Factory in Clarence, New York (USA) set this record at the Image Wear Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA, using a 12-colour M&R Formula Press and an M&R Passport Automatic Textile Unloader. The world speed record represents a speed that is over four times the typical average speed for manual loading of shirts for automated screen printing.
Screenprinting is more versatile than traditional printing techniques. The surface does not have to be printed under pressure, unlike etching or lithography, and it does not have to be planar. Different inks can be used to work with a variety of materials, such as textiles, ceramics, wood, paper, glass, metal, and plastic. As a result, screenprinting is used in many different industries, including:
Medical devices
Printed electronics, including circuit board printing
Product labels
Signs and displays
Snowboard graphics
Textile fabric
Thick film technology
Screen printing press
To print multiple copies of the screen design on garments in an efficient manner, amateur and professional printers usually use a screen printing press. Many companies offer simple to sophisticated printing presses. Most of these presses are manual. A few that are industrial-grade-automatic printers require minimal manual labor and increase production significantly.

Analysis of screen printing trends and prospects
Screen printing market space
China from the 20th century, 80 years, the speed of screen printing materials, equipment, technology research and development, so that screen-printing with flexo printing, offset printing, gravure played an advantage in competition. Rate of 7% annual increase. Currently there are about More than 70% of the wide format color screen printing with spot-color printing, nearly 30% using four-color overprint, and the proportion of four-color overprint is still increasing steadily. Industry survey showed that 70% of the annual output value of enterprises 100 million. But China's current total output value of the printing screen printing production value less than 2%, which have great potential to be tapped and broad development prospects.
Survey, the national screen printing ink usage is 2-year million tons, of which about 54% of the imported products; mesh year with about 10 million meters, of which about 62% of the imported silk screen, light-sensitive plastic consumption is about 4300 years tons, of which about 57% of imported products. The more large-scale screen printing factories in the greater proportion of imported products.
The next screen printing will remain a high growth rate will gradually increase the technical, industrial scale will be further expanded. Authorities predicted that the future world production of screen printing in the printing share of GDP will rise to 10%. There is no doubt that China Screen Printing Industry is being nurtured the development of a larger space and potential market. Expected that by 2005 China will become the world's largest screen printing market. China screen printing in the future will be depth and breadth. "Deep" is to a higher level of development, international screen printing industry has long been widely used in computer design, plate making, carving and other advanced electronic technology, and our country for these new technologies are still in the research trial stage; "well" is the development of new screen printing products, such as outdoor advertising and other large-scale screen printing.
Screen printing applications
Survey shows that China Screen Printing Industry and the number of kinds of products sorted by manufacturers as follows:signs and panels, textiles and garments, plastic sheets, advertising materials, printed circuits, light boxes and so on.Emerging field of screen printing to an extraordinary rate, such as building materials, the system card, CD-ROM, security printing and so on.
1. Ad print
Screen Printing in commercial advertising, there will be more market, some large companies, especially electric companies,tobacco companies promote their image in order to attach great importance to the role of advertising. Advertising time and to some extent determine the quality of the company's share of the market. Therefore, all kinds of electrical advertising,packaging and advertising, outdoor advertising, commercial ads to screen printing provides a broad space. In the commercial competition, because the large-scale outdoor advertising a wide field of vision, effective and taken seriously. So, as our screen printing large color outdoor ads along with the development of commercial advertising, the increasing volume showed large, cheap, colorful, save a long period, and fast delivery advantages, more and more cities are planning departments,advertising approved by regulatory agencies, attracting a lot of advertisers.
2. Packaging and Printing
Packaging industry is the main service screen printing industry, target, screen printing technology continues to develop applications, will better serve the packaging and decoration industry, for packaging and decoration industry, while contributing to a more prosperous, but also for silk screen printing industry.

Traffic dispute leads to brutal beating of transgender woman by 'mob.' One suspect arrested, Dallas police say
Police arrested a suspect in connection with the brutal beating of a transgender woman caught on camera in Dallas.
Friday, the woman was involved in a minor traffic accident at an apartment complex in Dallas, according to police. "Known suspects" using homophobic slurs then beat her in an incident described by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings as "mob violence." The Dallas Police Department said it was investigating the case as a hate crime.
Sunday, police arrested Edward Thomas, 29, for his role in the assault.
Video posted on social media shows a man dressed in white pushing a woman to the ground, straddling and punching her. Other people are then seen joining in on the beating, kicking the woman. She gets up and tries to walk away as the man follows her, and continues throwing punches. A group of women then pick her up and carry her away from the violence.
The woman, identified by WFAA News as Muhlaysia Booker, suffered a facial fracture and her right arm is in a sling, but she is recovering with close friends. Booker thanked her supporters in a Facebook post Saturday.
Nationwide, at least 26 transgender people were fatally shot or killed violently in 2018, the majority of whom were black transgender women, according to data from advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign.

April 14: Dallas police investigating assault of transgender woman as potential hate crime

The vice president of the Tamaulipas Chamber of Commerce in Mexico has called on Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto to pardon jailed U.S. Marine veteran Johnny Hammar by Christmas.
"We represent 14,000 businessmen, and we believe this action affects the image of Mexico and also Brownsville," said Gerardo Acevedo Danache, vice president for international affairs for the chamber, known by the Spanish acronym CANACO. "When you scare the tourists, you are not sending a good message."
Hammar was arrested in August on the Mexican side of the Free Trade Bridge at Los Indios on a weapons charge; he has been jailed in Matamoros since. Family members and an attorney say Hammar tried to declare an antique .410 shotgun with Mexican customs, as his family has said that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials told him he could.
When Hammar entered Matamoros, he was planning to go to Costa Rica with a friend to surf.
Acevedo Danache doesn't think the 27-year-old veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars intentionally did anything wrong.
"He had no intention to break the law and that needs to be taken into consideration," he said. "He has been in jail since August, and it's creating an international conflict between two neighbors."
Acevedo Danache said the Tamaulipas chamber is the first in Mexico to call for Hammar's release.
"We will continue to defend his cause, and I want to make it clear: There are many reasons we did (ask for a pardon), and from a humanitarian view, it's the right thing to do," Acevedo Danache said.
However, he has received criticism for defending the American, he said.
"I would do the same if he was Chinese or North Korean," Acevado Danache said. "It sends a bad message."
Aside from the humanitarian view, Acevedo Danache said Hammar's incarceration sends a bad message to tourists -- particularly Winter Texans -- about Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley.
An Ambassador's Letter
Hammar's mother, Olivia, said that while Acevedo Danache and the Tamaulipas chamber's actions are encouraging, she also received what she described as a discouraging letter last week from Arturo Sarukban, Mexican ambassador to the United States.
The letter dated Dec. 12 was sent to U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla, who emailed it to Hammar's mother. Ros-Lehtinen represents Florida's 18th Congressional District in South Miami, the Hammar family's district.
"As you know well, Mexico has had very stringent gun-control laws in place for many years, and has reinforced their application as a result of the flow of weapons illicitly purchased in the U.S., and then trafficked into Mexico and into the hands of Transnational Criminal Organizations," Sarukban wrote. "Mr. Hammar was arrested for the possession of a weapon that according to Federal Law in Mexico is restricted for the exclusive use of the Mexican Armed Forces."
The fact that Hammar declared the weapon to Mexican Customs doesn't preclude arrest and prosecution, regardless if he declared or stated to CBP agents that he was in possession of it, Sarukban wrote.
"Therefore, this circumstance requires that he remain under detention during the duration of his trial," the ambassador wrote.
Previously, Hammar's family said cartels threatened to kill Hammar if the family didn't pay money to their organization. Last week, Sarukban told Ros-Lehtinen in his letter that when Mexican authorities learned of risks posed to Hammar, the American was placed in an administrative area to ensure his safety.
"The lack of cells in this area -- or of any security measures there -- left authorities with no other choice but to temporarily restrain or limit his movement," Sarukban wrote. "Because these conditions were neither appropriate or conducive to his well-being and to the security needs of any detention facility, he was then scheduled for transfer to a Federal Detention Center where better conditions would ensure his safety and well-being while the court rules on his case."
But Sarukban wrote that because Hammar's legal counsel rejected that possibility, "he had to be kept in that administrative area with the challenges and conditions above described."
On Monday, Olivia said, she received an undated photo of Hammar -- chained to a bed -- from a Matamoros-based email address.
"My gut tells me it was a sympathizer of Johnny's," she wrote. "It was devastating to see."
The Case
Sarukban also wrote that the U.S. Consular officers in Tamaulipas have regularly visited and assisted Hammar and that his right to consular assistance, defense counsel and fair trial has been guaranteed at all times.
However, Hammar's attorney, Eddie Varon-Levy, has said that the veteran's rights haven't been upheld because another U.S. Marine who was initially arrested with him had served as a translator, something Varon-Levy said is prohibited by the Mexican Constitution.
Additionally, Varon-Levy also said that during the Thanksgiving holidays Hammar was made to appear before a judge even though Varon-Levy asked that the hearing be rescheduled because he could not arrive in time from Mexico City.
Sarukban wrote to Ros-Lehtinen that had Hammar pleaded guilty, he probably would have already been released and repatriated to the United States.
"Moreover, Mr. Hammar's defense has had the opportunity to present evidence it has deemed relevant to the case. It is our understanding that Mr. Hammar's attorney is seeking his client be fully acquitted -- which can only occur once all the proceedings are concluded -- instead of securing an early sentencing, which would have in all likelihood resulted in his release and repatriation to the United States."
Varon-Levy has said that Hammar's first defense attorneys pressured him to plead guilty, which would have resulted in a prison term.
In closing, Sarukban told Ros-Lehtinen that Hammar is charged with a severe offense and that Mexico is taking the situation seriously. Earlier in the letter, Sarukban also wrote that the government understands that Hammar is a war veteran, "who has served this great nation in Iraq and Afghanistan, and therefore of the special interest this case entails for members of the U.S. Congress."
He also told Ros-Lehtinen not to hesitate to contact him and said he will stay involved in Hammar's case.
"I will personally continue to stay engaged on this issue, both with you and with Mexican authorities, in seeking to reach a solution to this case," he wrote.
On Monday, Ros-Lehtinen took to the House floor again to push members of Congress to join her in pushing for a speedy resolution to Hammar's case.

The Monkey Cage's Joshua Tucker simultaneously makes a great joke (via his headline) and demolishes the popular talking point about political campaigns costing less than Americans spend on potato chips.
- Potatoes do not have to spend time or effort soliciting donations so they can be converted to potato chips.
- Once purchased, people rarely lobby potato chips for favors in enacting preferential legislation.
- Potato chips rarely, if ever, face trade-offs between trying to please the individual who bought them, their constituents, and the country at large. They can just simply be oh-so-tasty.
- Anyone in the United States is allowed to buy potato chips, not just citizens. Indeed, even children and foreigners can purchase potato chips.
- Potato chips are accessible to all citizens, rich and poor alike (with the possible exception of people dealing with cholesterol issues).
- Sheldon Adelson doesn't purchase $15 million worth of potato chips for his own personal use (at least I hope not).

The 2011 LMC Christmas Commercial
Each year, Lexington Medical Center looks forward to creating a new Christmas commercial. The 2011 edition salutes members of the Armed Forces and their families.
The woman featured in the commercial is not an actress. She's LMC nurse Jeanie Lyle, who takes care of patients recovering from surgery. Two of her sons, Todd and Wes, serve in the military.
Todd, age 31, is a Citadel graduate and Captain in the Army National Guard who flies army helicopters. He's serving in Iraq and Kuwait now.
Wes, age 25, is a platoon leader in the Army, currently serving in Southern Afghanistan as an officer with the 125th Infantry Division.
Jeanie is married to Dr. David Lyle of Lexington Family Practice, who is a retired Lt. Colonel from the Army Reserves. In total, the couple has four children.
Despite the fact that she had no acting experience, Jeanie was an excellent choice to play the role she did in the commercial. We thank her and her family for their military service and keep them in our thoughts over the holidays, and always.
The commercial will air in the Midlands from now until Christmas.

Here's What Our Clients Are Saying:
Called Hauling 911 in the morning for same day hauling, and Arty was able to re-arrange his schedule to accommodate. He and his team showed up on time and worked hard to chop up a tree I cut down in order to fit into their truck. Arty and his team were courteous, hardworking, affordable and I highly recommend them.
F. S. - San Rafael, Ca
Arty promptly returned my phone call on a holiday weekend. Not only did he rearrange his schedule to accommodate our availability, he and his co-worker were punctual, professional and super friendly. They worked quickly and had the truck loaded in about 20 minutes Even when we kept adding junk to the pile, Arty did not price gouge. His pricing was more than fair! I will be using Hauling 911 for all of my future junk removal needs. These guys really did a great job for us!!!
Grayham S. - Mill Valley, Ca
Arty is amazing. He arrived at our new (to us) house to complete a move (the seller's original movers had left behind some heavy items), and he had not been told we were located down 90 steps! But he and his very good worker just did the job. I said it was perfectly OK if he had to reschedule, but they somehow managed that heavy lifting up all those steps. Arty was extremely conscientious and careful with the house. Plus, he's just a really nice guy. I couldn't recommend him more highly!!
fymi o. - Tiburon, Ca
I had a bunch of yard waste in the front yard that needed removal so I Called Hauling 911 and spoke to Arty - all the reviews were right on! In order to get an estimate, I emailed him a picture. He gave me an idea, and we set a time to meet. Arty called to confirm the appointment, and then showed up on time to take a look. He confirmed the quote and said he could have it removed by the end of the day. Jump four hours later - got back home and everything was gone. I was very happy with the service and would highly recommend.
Michael B. Novato
I called this morning and had my stuff taken away by early afternoon - quick, efficient, and very simple. The company is local which I really liked also. They have a big truck. If you want quick and efficient service - try them!
Madeline F. - Fairfax, Ca
These guys are the best!
Our yard was a shameful mess, but Hauling 911, came over and did their magic. There was lots to do but they worked hard and steadily to complete the job. I found them to be professional, courteous, and honest. No price gouging! I highly recommend them. In fact, I plan to hire them again to do some additional work. They are great guys!
Paula M. - Fairfax, CA
Arty Smith from Hauling 911 came right over to give me a very reasonable estimate for removing several heavy items and rearranging bedroom furniture. Arriving on time the next day, the job was done very quickly. I will definitely recommend and use this company again.
Brenda P. - San Rafael, CA
I love these guys! Hauling 911 has helped me with several jobs. I'm a professional organizer and have used Arty for personal and professional jobs. He gets it done and gets it done quickly.
Heather S. - San Anselmo, CA
Arty from Hauling 911 was professional and fast. He was eager for my business and came out to my house within an hour for an estimate. The next day he showed up with his truck and removed all my yard waste and construction debris quickly and efficiently. He is very personable and easy to work with. The price was reasonable (after doing the math, compared to hauling the debris on my own, renting a truck and paying fees at the dump he cost about $100 more. The best part he saved me 4+ hours of work!!). Well worth it!!
I will definitely call him next time I need to make a run to the dump.
Michelle D. - San Anselmo, CA
Hauling 911 was fantastic
Hello I would like to say that hauling 911 is the only phone call you need to make Artie answer his phone and gives you a time that he can haul away your stuff & he will be there Just a fantastic company to work with the best in marin by far
Prompt, efficient & courteous service
Artie came over promptly after called to haul away yard debris. He was polite, efficient, and pleasant. I will be calling him again.
Was serendipity! Recommended by a friend and saved me!
After my dad passed away I came up from SoCal to help my mom clear out 50 years' worth of stuff. I only had a week and had no idea how I could actually do it. I mentioned the predicament to a friend who recommended Arty and immediately got in touch with him. The amount of work that Arty and his team did in 2 days was like a miracle to me. I will need him back again, for sure, but can now see a light at the end of a very cluttered tunnel. I very much appreciated his up-front cost (vs an "estimate") and his kind demeanor when working with my mom. Thanks again Arty! We'll be in touch!
Great experience, from initial contact through move
This was my second time using Arty, and both hauls have been positive and professional, from the first call through the pickups. This time around he was incredibly busy, but managed to fit me in within a couple of days of calling. He brings the right-sized teams and is highly efficient, plus fair and communicative with the pricing. One aspect of his service which is ahead of his competition is the communication, which is often kluge-y in this business (and often deceptive). Arty works as if his reputation rides on it, so what I've experienced has been seamless.
A HUGE HELP with a difficult situation!
We can't be more pleased with the help we received from Hauling 911. I called from out of state for assistance with a messy rental move out, as well as a long overdue clearing out of a family home. Arty worked with us over the phone to come for an estimate as soon as we came into town. He was considerate of our short window of time that we would be in the area, and had started work immediately. We even had to have him return to clear up additional items. He was conscientious and concerned about helping us get what we needed done. He was also a good referral for other landlord specific questions and concerns. All around helpful! BTW - I had used Arty 7 years earlier for cleaning at the same property. I kept his contact information because I appreciated the customer service and how quickly he was able to assist and address our specific needs. He and his crew have been helpful numerous times and we will be using them in the future. Thank you, Arty!
Moving Made Easy
This was my 5th move in 3.5 years so one can imagine how thrilled I was to be going through such a stressful situation (financially, mentally, emotionally and physically) again. However, this was the second time I decided to seek help from Hauling 911 and they have never disappointed. In fact, it was raining the day of my move and they still arrived with smiles on their faces and open arms (literally!). I would especially like to thank the owner, Arty, for his professionalism throughout the entire process and for putting my mind at ease. He follows up when he says he will and he arrives on-schedule, which makes things go smoothly. The men that work with him are always very polite, respectful and gentle with my fragile items. Thank you Hauling 911 for moving my "beast of a couch" (twice!) and for comforting me by telling me that you'll be there anytime and everytime I need it. Lastly, I'd like to comment on the rates --- BEST IN MARIN! Arty is fair and affordable, making it even easier to work with. As long as Arty is managing the business, I'll always recommend Hauling 911 to my family, friends and colleagues.
Quick & convenient garbage removal
That was like magic. After I called Arty he and his crew came to my place and took all the garbage with construction debris within next 30 minutes.
Hard working employees very gentle with our items. On time and stayed until the move was complete. I would use their services again.
Great Job
Great job!
Arty came to my house on time and cleared away all the rubbish that I needed to disposed of! Great service an an affordable price as well.

Seals under pressure
When a seal is exposed to pressure, the radial load of the sealing lip increases. This in turn increases the actual sealing lip/shaft contact area, resulting in additional friction and elevated underlip temperatures. Therefore, the guideline values for speeds provided in the diagram 1 do not apply.
The diagram 2 shows an example of lip distortion of a conventional sealing lip design as sump pressure increases, resulting in reduced seal service life.
SKF CRW5 and CRWA5 pressure profile seals (fig 1) are designed to withstand pressure differentials of 0,34 MPa (50 psi) at speeds up to 5 m/s (1 000 ft/min).
When there is a pressure differential across the seal, a shoulder or retaining ring should be used at the low-pressure side of the seal to prevent it from being pressed out of the housing bore (fig 2).

I was recently trawling through the newspaper archives on Find My Past and came across the article below from the Leeds Intelligencer of 17 January 1928.
I soon realised that this looked suspiciously like my relative James Ernest Gawthrop, my 2nd cousin 3x removed. His parents were Thomas Gawthrop and Christiana Hey. Our common ancestors were John Gawthrop and Sarah Brown, my 4x great grandparents.
I already had a bit of information about James – I know for example that he was born in 1887 – his birth is registered in Q3 in Keighley, West Yorkshire. As far as I can tell James was the youngest of nine children.
In the 1901 census, at the age of 13 James was working as a "worsted spinner and doffer".
Sometime in the summer of 1909 James married Annie Morris in Halifax.
In the 1911 census James and Annie are living in Keighley with their son Benjamin (born in 1910) and James is employed as a "mohair warehouseman".
They had two more children – Nellie in 1912 and Lewis in 1914. I assume that James served in WW1 but I can't find any remaining military records for him on either Ancestry or Find My Past.
I already knew that James died in 1928 and his death was registered in Q1 in Hemsworth, Yorkshire. This is supported by the newspaper article in terms of date and location.
However there is one obvious discrepancy – the newspaper report says that "Gawthrop leaves a widow and eight children". That clearly doesn't agree with the information I already had. So what's going on? I decided to do a bit more digging.
I found a death record for Annie Gawthrop registered in Keighley in Q2 of 1914. That was the same quarter that the birth of Lewis was registered. Had Annie died in child birth? That's certainly a possibility.
Next I found another marriage for James E Gawthrop – this time to Maud M Morris registered in Q2 1919 in Halifax. OK, same surname as Annie and same location as the marriage to Annie. Is this just a coincidence? A bit more digging required I think.
Searching the 1891 and 1901 census returns for Halifax and things started to look a bit clearer.
Below is the 1901 census clearly showing Annie Morris (14) and Maud M Morris (10) – sisters. Interestingly there are two other siblings called Nellie and Lewis – the same names that James and Annie gave two of their children. Their other son Benjamin was probably named after James's grandfather Benjamin Gawthrop.
So I am as confident as I can be that I now understand what happened here. James married his sister-in-law.
James and Maud it seems had five children between 1919 and 1925, all registered in Barnsley, South Yorkshire:-
Margaret and Hilda – December 1919
Doreen – March 1921
Betty – March 1923
Ada – June 1925
After James died on 3 January 1928 Maud Mary married William Martin sometime in Q4 1928, this marriage is registered in Barnsley. There is a death record for Maud M Martin registered in Halifax in Q2 1957.
So without any certificates I can't confirm any of this but it makes for an interesting story anyway.
I suspect that after Annie died in 1914 maybe James was called up for service in WW1. Perhaps Benjamin, Nellie and Lewis went to live with Annie's parents in Halifax while James was away. When James came back home romance blossomed between him and Maud Mary. The rest as they say is history!!

Thieves have ransacked an office belonging to Papua New Guinea's anti-corruption taskforce, stealing laptop computers and files.About 20 men are believed to have tied up three security guards and broken through a heavy steel gate to get to Taskforce Sweep's administration office.
The office was left trashed with paper strewn everywhere and drawers emptied onto the floor.
Taskforce Sweep's chairman Sam Koim says staff are still trying to establish what has been stolen.
He says some laptops and investigation files are gone but the break-in will not deter his officers.
"This is not going to discourage us. No-one will intimidate us," he said.
Taskforce Sweep's investigations have led to the arrests of dozens of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen over the past 18 months.

- Documentation: http://rfaisal.github.io/SimpleAS3Logger/doc/
Few years back, I wrote a simple logging library in ActionScript3 using the Chain of Responsibility pattern. Recently, I dug up the old codes, made some modifications, and put it in github for other people to use and contribute. In this post, I will mainly focus on how to use the library and do some project specific modifications, but I will also briefly discuss my reasons for using the Chain Of Responsibility and the Singleton Pattern. I started writing this library with the following 4 goals in mind:
- It should be easily accessible to all of the classes of a project.
- It should be able to write logging information to different output sources, i.e., file, database, console, etc., and additional output sources can be added easily.
- It should be able to handle different levels of logging like FATAL_ERROR or INFO (as different actions may be needed for handling different levels), and additional levels can be added easily.
- It should require minimal setup.

DIALux or Relux
Which one is more popular?
A new but different article is written recently in the following link
DIALux Relux Report 2010
In the past, each company used to have its own software for lighting calculation or rendering, which makes the designer have trouble learning all of these software, moreover the print outs & documentations will be different form one room to another in the same project!
And what if the designer would like to design the lighting using luminaires form different manufacturers?
Using single software is obviously much better.Besides mastering one software is better than to know little about all.
But the question is what software shall I use?
In the market there are many softwares some of them are free and some cost money.
When we talk about free lighting software DIALux and Relux are the best in the market.
It shall be noted that Relux is not completely free; the plug-in for ray tracing (Radiance) is not free and cost money, while DIALux provide this option as free of charge (POV-RAY) and this option is very important to produce high quality images.
As a matter of fact in many cases this is the only way to show the customer the result of lighting design, as most of them don't understand lux , luminance , UGR …etc
I used both then I stopped using Relux when I found that the Plug-in for CAD & Ray tracing is not free.
Using the POV-Ray of DIALux we can generate high quality images.
Personally I found DIALux very powerful and I was wondering which is used more around the world DIALux or Relux?
I don't know if there is real survey about this but I made simple comparison.
The comparison is not about technical capability of each, it is rather about distribution of both software around the world and the result as of July/2008 is
By using Google trends (www.google.com/trends ), a tool that you can compare which words had been searched more , I found out that the word "DIALux" had more search than the word "Relux" by over 4 times!
The search of DIALux was 4.2 times more than relux in Google search engine
And to make sure that DIALux means the "software DIALux" nothing else, I used the website function which tells which website were visited more dial.de or relux.biz
DIALux has much more visitors than Relux
This gives indication that DIALux users around the world are much more than Relux users
Visitors of DIALux in Blue compared with visitors of Relux in red
And by using information form both websites dial.de and relux.biz, I found that DIALux has many partners outside Europe in the Far East China, Malaysia, Japan, and Russia and Middle East Saudi Arabia and Dubai and is being more international.
Actually DIALux has partners form 26 countries while Relux has only from 13 countries
Table below summarize the comparison
Number of Languages supported
Numbers of Partners
Number of countries
(Nationality of the Partners)
Google Search (form Google trends)
Website visits (form Google trends)
Much more around the world
Also If you check the Traffic Rankings of both websites on alexa.com you will find that dial.de has a traffic rank of: 432,788 while Relux.biz has a traffic rank of: 1,329,600
which means that dialux website has higher rank than relux by almost 3 times
As a conclusion DIALux has more partners, languages and users around the world than Relux
And DIALux much more popular than Relux.

And so it ends. No more basketball. No more games. No more 2013 Chicago Bulls.
The season started with fans talking about who wasn't there. It ended with fans talking about who was. It started with hope for The Return. It ended with the return of hope. It started with us thinking we'd go as far as No. 1 took us. It ended with us knowing that the team is number one.
For that, Chicago should have but one thing to say: thank you.
Thank you, Joakim Noah for producing a masterful season from start to finish. Better offensively than you've ever been, but better defensively too. Thank you Luol Deng, for leading the league in minutes played – again – while redefining the meaning of "gutting it out." Thank you Kirk Hinrich, for making it feel like you'd never left. You weren't the return fans were hoping for, but you became the return they needed.
Thank you Jimmy Butler, for becoming Jimmy Buckets, and teaching Chicago a lesson in believing in your own value. Thank you Nate Robinson, for giving us more memories than fans ever thought you would. Thank you Marco Belinelli, for doing the same.
Thank you to Butler for 144 straight minutes, to Belinelli for becoming Mr. Game-Winner, and to Robinson for winning Game 4.
Thank you Carlos Boozer, for somehow being unheralded. Thank you Taj Gibsonm for somehow being a star. Thank you Rip Hamilton,for never complaining.
Thank you Thibs, for whom another Coach of the Year award would hardly suffice anyhow.
Latest RedEye
Thank you for each of your hard-fought, 45 regular-season wins. Thank you for making Bulls fans say all season, "Hot damn, they're right in this thing!" Thank you for somehow getting people to notice you, even while your United Center housemates were making the whole country notice them. Thank you for three of the greatest Bulls playoff victories ever.
It didn't end in a championship, but when Bulls fans look back on this season, for the rest of our lives, it will make us smile.
And that's something for which we can all be thankful.
Jack M Silverstein is a RedEye special contributor. Say hey @readjack.

Mission Control Center
With Discovery 500 miles ahead of the International Space Station, and increasing that distance by more than 50 miles with each orbit of the Earth, the STS-105 and returning Expedition Two crewmembers are preparing for a Wednesday landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Discovery Commander Scott Horowitz, Pilot Rick Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Pat Forrester and Dan Barry, along with Expedition Two crewmembers Commander Yury Usachev, and Astronauts Jim Voss and Susan Helms, were awakened at 3:10 a.m. CDT to the sounds of "East Bound and Down" by Jerry Reed, at the request of their Houston-based training team.
Activities on board Discovery will focus on tomorrow's planned return trip to Earth as the astronauts stow away the equipment and hardware used during their mission and verify the performance of Discovery's landing systems. Horowitz, Sturckow and Barry will conduct the standard day-before-landing checkouts of the flight control surfaces, the rudder and flaps that will control the shuttle during its descent through the atmosphere.
Later in the day, they will set up three recumbent seats on Discovery's middeck for use by the returning Expedition Two crewmembers during Wednesday's re-entry. The seats are designed to minimize the forces of reentry after their more than five months in space.
Expedition Three crewmembers Frank Culbertson, Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin, were awakened about 12:30 a.m. to begin their first day alone aboard the space station. The day's plan includes activation and checkout of Express Rack 4 – one of two scientific racks for the U.S. laboratory Destiny delivered during STS-105 – exercise and a review of plans for unloading the next Russian unpiloted cargo carrier, Progress 5, scheduled to arrive at the station Thursday morning.
Crewmembers also activated the current Progress vehicle, docked at the rear of the station's Zvezda module, before closing the hatches that connect it to the station. Progress 4 is scheduled to be undocked from the station shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday. The new Progress supply ship – Progress 5 – was launched on a Soyuz rocket at 4:24 a.m. today from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and is scheduled to dock at the station about 5 a.m. Thursday with its cargo of fuel, food and equipment.
Discovery is circling the Earth every 90 minutes at an average altitude of about 240 statute miles. Systems aboard the shuttle and the International Space Station are functioning well. The next mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. today, or as events warrant.
NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com. In the body of the message (not the subject line) users should type "subscribe hsfnews" (no quotes).

Tingling and numbness are basically around whole body, although moreso in the back of head, face and mouth now, after being more all around over two months ago when this started. Sometimes tingling in legs will become extreme when walking.
Extremities seem to "fall asleep" (different than the above numbness) often. A couple of months ago my foot (I believe left one only) several times fell asleep with a distinct centralized "ball" of heaviness/pain for lack of a better description. Had never felt anything like that in extremities falling asleep earlier in my life.
Muscles have little, visible twitches at times, in no particular area (mainly legs, arms, hands and face).
Occasional heartburn-type feeling (has actually been happening for about two years).
Some trembling and inability to make fine movements with hands, although I have never been the most dextrous so it's hard to tell if this is new.
Difficulty balancing at times, but not extremely.
Slight muscle soreness/weakness, especially in hands/fingers. Occasionally on face.
Dark/smelly urine (possibly from infection or directly from whatever is causing everything else). Seemed to have small amounts of uncontrollable urination but not as of late.
Some sudden, inadvertent movements, especially of legs/feet.
General fatigue/tiredness.
I know this is very vague. I went to the ER two months ago and they said it could be pretty much anything from an infection to MS. They didn't do any tests. I'm a 24 year old male.
Recognize the risks associated with Crohn's disease.
Did you know that one in six US adults has high cholesterol?

Here's a story for the Record-Books:
Ramadhan 1435 AH/2014 CE…I went to Masjid Ar-Rahman, on 29th St bet. 5th Ave & Broadway, in Manhattan, NYC-After making the congregational Maghrib/Sunset Prayer, my shoes go missing. I'm honestly mad as Hell: those Sneakers were brand-new & fresh out the box, I barely had them for a whole week, I got them for free…they were a gift. So, you can understand why I was duly pissed all the way off!!! I felt so violated that someone, a Muslim, would dare to steal something during Ramadhan in the Mosque no less. I was just thinking in my mind what I would do, and how would I hurt this Person who took what was mine, if I woulda caught-up to them. It even got to the point when I was yelling, and causing a scene, concerning what was taken from me. Some other Muslim-Brothers attempted to clam me down, but it just wasn't working: I came in the Mosque with my Sneakers, and I had wanted to leave with my same Sneakers. But, guess what happens next?
Check-out how merciful Allah, the Creator/Lord of the Universe is:
1. He bestowed mercy upon the one who took my footwear, so I would not have acted out of anger against a fellow Muslim, during Ramadhan of all times.
2. He touched the heart of a Muslim brother who volunteered to give me his own shoes.
3. He touched the heart of another Muslim brother who actually drove me to a sneaker-store & bought me a brand-new pair of Sneakers…cash, which ironically were fresher & cheaper than the sneakers that I had gotten taken from me at this Mosque…the Sneakers which were taken from me were the Nike Andre Agassis, in Dead-stock/Brand-New condition. But, then the brother had bought me a pair of Nike ACGs, also in Dead-Stock/Brand-New condition.
4. Most importantly: the person who took my Sneakers actually did me a favor, because along with my shoes being taken, then perhaps a portion of my Sins have also been taken from me, which will make it easier to meet Allah on the Day-of-Standing, because the less Sins that a person has on their back, the better for them, when it comes to being judged by Allah on the Day of Days…So, I still considered myself a Winner.

I tend to get a little overwhelmed when we get a new catalogue with lots of new stamps & accessories. I LOVE IT ALL and WANT IT ALL but when I have it in my mitts I just don't know what to use first and I end up going back to my old faithful stamp sets that I know I can use over and over. So it takes me a little more time to mull over the new before my creative juices kick in and I can start using it.
I loved the Sale-a-bration set Fresh Vintage the moment I saw it at Convention back in November, and even though I orderd it on pre-order in December it hadn't quite made a permanent spot on my craft desk. Until now that is....
I've referred to this as a '3 for 1' in the title because it's the same card but done 3 times by adding 1, 2 then 3 colours.
This first one is with just Pool Party - very monochromatic.
Out of the New 2011-2013 In Colours Island Indigo is one I've not used before. Not sure why, it's very much like 'Taken with Teal' which has now retired and I loved that, but now I've teamed it with Pool Party I really like it.
And the last card I added Lucky Limeade. I've coloured the stamp with Stampin' Write Markers to give that 2-colour effect on the image.
And finally here's a picture of my pretty little stand that I bought on Saturday. Isn't it cute?!
So that's me for today. I'm 'trying' to have a marathon clean and tidy of my craft room. Don't think I'll finish that today!
See ya soon!

Fantasy Story of Imprisoned (iPad)
Published by
Also For
DescriptionFollowing a protracted D&D character generation process, optionally descending into paper-doll level costuming detail, the player's situation is presented: arrested for the alleged commission of some unspecified crime in a medieval fantasy kingdom, they are indeed imprisoned in an impregnable dunjon gaol. Of course, no good adventurer ever gives up, and indeed at its heart this is an "escape the room" game with several possible solutions, revealed through dedicated and repeated activity selection akin to character scheduling seen more often in managerial dating sims. Players can desperately devote every waking hour to furthering escape attempts, or more calmly can ensure no diminishing of their faculties, by allotting adequate exercise and rest to ensure they remain on top of their abilities.
Will the player concoct a foolproof escape plan in cooperation with their cellmate? Perhaps the faded mystical graffiti on the wall hints at a sorcerous means of egress? Or will their mind snap, devoting their time toward cultivating a relationship with the rat living in the straw pallet? Perhaps the player's date will come up, and they will find vindication in the courtroom. Were they framed?
The choices lie before the players; the game is presented as a series of textual descriptions of the single-room scene and its diminishing countdown to the player's meeting with judge, jury and executioner. Options are selected from a list of alternatives, and through dedicated focus on one approach or another, specific outcomes become more likely.

The Knicks added Jeremy Lin to the roster last night in an effort to fix the fact that they have zero depth in the backcourt. He's the league's lone Asian-American player, and he's also the only Harvard grad in the pros. Get this kid a billboard.
Lin averaged 2.6 points and 1.4 assists in just under nine minutes a game for the Warriors last season, and got cut—rather cruelly—by the Rockets on Christmas Eve. But the beauty of the Knicks' all-frontcourt roster is that you can hang any dream you want on the backcourt. Maybe the currently sidelined Baron Davis can overcome obesity, apathy, and a bad back to become their new spiritual leader. Maybe Carmelo Anthony can reinvent himself as Magic Johnson. And maybe an Ivy League kid with swagger can get enough minutes to blossom into an NBA impact player.
Lin had better get those minutes fast, though, as his contract is completely non-guaranteed. Sooner or later, Davis and Iman Shumpert should recover from their injuries and get their own speculative Knicks careers going. Or James Dolan will send Isiah Thomas on a secret, Kissinger-style diplomatic flight to China to try to pry Starbury away from his happy exile. Anything is possible. But this week, it's Jeremy Lin.

I'm getting the same behaviour with VirtualBox 4.1.8r75467 running on a Windows 7 64 bit Host with 6 GB RAM, I've three guests set up on the machine, one with Windows 7 and the rest with Windows Server 2003.
If I try and run any (single) guest with over 1 GB RAM, I get the following error at "boot up"
Error ID: HostMemoryLow, Severity: Non-Fatal Error
The host machine then pauses and wont restart and I have to switch it off and take the RAM down to 1GB.
Also, if I'm running a 1GB RAM guest, and start another one to run concurrently, I get the same error on the second machine. Is there some sort of size limit set at 1GB RAM?

Hi, I have a solution, well it worked for me....
I had read other forum posts about ensuring hardware virtualisation was enabled and I checked on my machine and it was. BUT I went back into the BIOS and double checked and although it was enabled, it was only enabled for something called VT-A I changed this setting to one that said VT-A & VT-D supported and now not only can I run over a 1 GB Ram guest, I can run a 2GB ram guest and a 1GB ram guest concurrently too.
comment:7 Changed 8 years ago by Plazgoth
I am seeing similar issue as well.
I have 8GB physical memory with 6.5 GB free when I try to start the VM with base memory set to 3584MB it fails.
Both the Guest and Host OS are Win 7 64Bit.
This VM has been working for the past few months with base memory set to 4096MB. Not sure what changed but I just started seeing this error tonight. Reducing the base memory to 3072MB gets it to boot.
The VirtualBox version I am using is 4.1.8 r75467
And I have checked in BIOS and VT-x is enabled.

Same issue with my System.
Host OS is Win 7 Ent 64Bit. Guest OS are Linux Mint 12 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04. Both 64 Bit.
The VM worked without any problems for the last couple of months. The problem appeared 2 days ago.

Same problem. Host Os is Win 7 64 bit with the last updates (genuie). Guest OS is Windows 2008 R2 64bit. Worked well 3 months, until last week, when it crashed with 2048MB and above of RAM (only 1024 works), when it's 6GB total in system, and almost 5 are free. Log attached. 1GB is not acceptable at all for my purposes - can't start Oracle and other apps.
Thanks in advance for support and solution.
VirtualBox's version is 4.1.8 r75467
comment:10 Changed 8 years ago by froling
O my.. I thought it was my computer hardware that has been broken. I have run all kind of memory checks and did not find anything wrong with my laptop. The reason that I suspected hardware errors is because of the fact that the screen start to flicker when the memory consumption begin to reach its limit of 8GB. I suspected that is could be Virtual Box release, the problems started when I updated the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extention Pack to version 4.1.8r75467 but I was not sure. It could be some windows update that could caused my flickering screen and virtual instances limitation of memory consumption. I'm still not sure of this, who am I going to blame, Microsoft or Oracle? No offense I like both of them. I deeply depending on them both. I uninstalled VirtualBox and downloaded an older version of VirtualBox, to my surprise it did not solve the problem, so it could be Microsoft that has released a Windows patch that has broken a feature in windows that VirtualBox depend upon. I could also be VirtualBox that don't revert all parts when I downgraded to it's previous version.
I sincerely hope that this is solved swiftly. I which I can contribute, but I lack the skill of programming OS or Viritualization software.

comment:14 Changed 8 years ago by wacher
I think this newer ticket therefore that ticket should be duplicate of this :) Anyway I don't use GoogleCrashHandler64 or other similar thing.
This case is simple. 1) If there are not enough memory for VirtualBox then Vbox will be crashed. 2) If I have started my Microsoft Office before Virtualbox then virtualbox fails. If I have started my virtualbox before Office, then everything is OK.
comment:15 Changed 8 years ago by roygbiv
Wacher, thanks for the tip from another ticket!
That's temporary solution for my problem - killing processes "GoogleCrashHandler64" and "GoogleCrashHandler" made my VMs WORK!!! From that point everything works, amount of RAM can be enlarged to my needs at any guest machine.
Google's frustrating with its shadow updater service :(
And more tips: suppose some applications are affected by GoogleCrashHandler too. For exmaple, X-Lite VoIP client won't start, some crashes occur while routine work in Windows.

Disabling the "Execution Disable Function" in the machine BIOS did not work for me. I have no Google products installed either. As described in my original ticket #10459 I get this when the host Windows OS runs out of RAM. It is a 32bit WinXP host (the physical machine and VM are 64 bit though).
comment:20 Changed 8 years ago by wacher
This annoying "feature" is still present in 4.2 rc3.
The error log said: Unable to allocate and lock memory. The virtual machine will be paused. Please close applications to free up memory or close the VM
But the VM is not paused, just crashed. I don't have special processes neither any google stuff. I started too much VM and other application, I see. I ran out of memory actually, okay, but please, stay in paused mode (as the message promise it), I don't like this guru :(
comment:21 Changed 8 years ago by frank
That's not a feature but a bug. The reason that it's not fixed yet is that the fix is quite difficult.
comment:22 Changed 8 years ago by mhanor
Not to open another ticket (or should I?): VBox should at least warn the user, when starting a VM which has the RAM size set to a too high value (compared to the available host memory), to avoid the same Guru Meditation. Useful when migrating a VM to another host, that has less available RAM than the previous one, or when running the same VM under different OSes, which have different limitations (32 bit vs 64 bit, as an example).
comment:23 Changed 7 years ago by matthijs
This happens with Win7/64 host. Since I upgraded the host memory from 4Gb to 8Gb, and the VM memory from 2000 to 3072 Mb, whenever VM memory use approaches the 3Bb mark, The system runs into the GURU_MEDITATION state, and I have to close it.... The VM is running Ubuntu 11.10.
I hope my log and screenshot help in resolving this bug.

As we close other tickets as duplicates to this one I also want to add that there are known compatibility issues with Prio (Process Priority Saver). Removing this tool from the host fixes the issue for some users.
comment:25 Changed 7 years ago by orobardet
Reproduced in the latest version 4.2.12 :
- Windows 7 60bit as Host
- Ubuntu 10.04 as Guest
I juste upgrade RAM of the host from 4Gb to 8Gb, and Guest memory from 1.5Gb to 4Gb. Now, one or two time a day, a warning of low host memory occurs (with about only 1.5G out of 4G used for the guest, and 5G out of 8G the host) when I do some simple task in the guest like refresh a page or click a link in firefox, or load a file in eclipse (with eclipse already loaded). The warning box says the VM is only paused and I need to free memory. There is plenty enough memory available (my host only runs an outlook and a firefox), ant the VM is not pause, it's crashed and in GURU_MEDITATION state. I need to restart it (and lost all unsaved data).
Before upgrading the host to 8Gb, I was using v4.2.10, and never had this error. Alought the guest was really slow (lake of RAM).

Sorry for asking but do you have some special application installed like the above mentioned Prio application?
comment:27 Changed 7 years ago by atisho
Is there a plan to fix this defect? If yes, when can we expect the fix? I can only allocate 2046GB memory for each vm and can only run one vm at a time. For my use cases, it pretty much makes virtualbox useless for me. I am switching to windows hyper-v which supports dynamic memory.
comment:28 follow-up: ↓ 29 Changed 7 years ago by frank
We can only fix bugs which we can reproduce. A first step in helping debugging would be to answer my last question. Under normal circumstances these memory conditions will not happen. So if you experience this problem it is very likely that some application is installed which changes the behavior of the Windows memory subsystem.

For solving the problem I used CCCleaner to disable the startup of Skype and all Toshiba tools together with Windows7_64 and I reinstalled VirtualBox. I was not able to identify the single program that was responsible of the problem. If you run skype and the various Toshiba tools after you run VirtualBox the problem will not manifest. It seems related to the startup phase only.

Faced with the same problem.

Throughout the program was to blame Prio v22.214.171.12460 (x64), after its removal VirualBox earned as before. The most interesting is the following: when the computer was one bracket Corsair 4GB memory, Prio quietly worked with VirualBox and all virtual machines run without problems. When I installed the remaining strips to the computer, no machine could not start, all the time there was an error HostMemoryLow, but the virtual machine Android x86 512MB RAM to run without problems. Problem solved :) Good luck.
