Installing the Windows Phone 8 SDK on a Mac, using Parallels
Delete instructional text in italic
This article explains how to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK on a Mac computer using the Parallels virtualization solution.
Windows Phone 8
- Your reasonably powerful Apple Mac computer ( i5 or higher CPU, 8GB RAM recommended)
- Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac
- A Windows 8 installation kit (for example the Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation release)
- The Windows Phone 8 SDK installer (offline or online if internet connection is available)
Installation guide
Install Parallels Desktop 8 following product's typical install guide and then follow Parallels' guide for installing Windows 8. It is a rather straight-forward process but since we aim to run the Windows Phone emulator (a virtual machine) inside the Parallels virtual machine we have to customize the Windows VM installation, so make sure to select "Customize settings before installation".
Windows VM customization
If you have neglected to enabled VM customization at install time, or if you want to experiment with other combination of options, you can edit the setting below, and many more which are not directly relevant for this subject, using Parallels' Virtual machine -> Configure... menu. For the settings to be accessible simply stop the running VM then restart it after the settings have been changed.
Number of CPU cores
The Windows Phone Emulator's Windows Phone 8 images come configured for multicore devices, so they expect to have two CPU cores available to them. However by default Parallels makes only once CPU core available to Windows, invoking stability concerns. We have therefore two options here:
- change VM's configuration to allow Windows to see two (or more) CPU cores
- install Windows on a machine with just 1 CPU and later edit emulator VM's settings to lower its CPU setting.
You can experiment with the two options and see which works best on your machine, we recommend the first approach if your machine is powerful enough.
Memory allocation
Parallels recommends that for a Windows VM you should allocate between 512 MB and 4 GB. We recommend at least 2 GB if you do not plan to use the SDK emulator and 4 GB or more if you plan to use the SDK emulator inside the VM. Of course the amount of memory you can make available to the VM depends on the amount of RAM available on your Mac, you should not allocate more than 50% of the total RAM to the VM.
Nested virtualization
Virtualization solutions such as Parallels do not typically encourage the use of virtual machines inside virtual machines (i.e. nested virtualization) but some do support it as an optional feature. We need to enable this feature in order for Windows Phone SDK's emulator to work, so as the next step we will check the corresponding "Enable" box in the Optimization page of the Options configuration dialog.
With these settings you are now ready to complete the Windows 8 installation according to Parallels' install guide.
Enable Hyper-V
Once you have Windows 8 installed fully, you can now install one of its optional features, Hyper-V. This component is required by the SDK's emulator so you must complete this step before installing the SDK.
A reboot will likely be required in order to compete the installation of this feature.
Install the Windows Phone 8 SDK
You are now ready to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK. If you have already downloaded the offline installer (ISO file) make sure to transfer it inside the Windows VM image and open it from there (you can map the *.iso as a drive and then run the setup utility). If you have an internet connection you can use the online installer. Just follow the standard installation process, there are no extra tricks :)
You can now create your first Windows Phone 8 project and have it running in the emulator or on your Windows Phone 8 device.
Change SDK emulator's CPU requirements
As mentioned above the emulator image is configured with multicore support so it does expect that Windows has at least two CPU cores available. If you chose to (or are forced to) allocate only one CPU to the Windows VM you will have to lower the CPU setting for the emulator as well, or else the emulator image cannot be started.
You can find instructions for how to change this setting in Parallels' Windows Phone 8 SDK install guide.

My last question to the site resulted in several answers that involve using pattern matching in Mathematica, a feature I wasn't very familiar with at the time. I am currently reading Mathematica Navigator and am picking up a bit on patterns. Very powerful stuff! My question may not have a definite answer, but I am curious.
When performing pattern matching there are two ways that I see that seem to provide very similar functionality. First there are
PatternTests, such as the following:
(* Replace all items in list that fall in the interval [0, 1] with 1
* using a PatternTest *)
{1, 2, 3, 0.4, 0} /. x_?(0 <= # <= 1 &) -> 1
PatternTest being the true/false test within the parenthesis after the question mark. Alternatively there are
Conditions. Here I accomplish the same as the above but with a
(* Replace all items in list that fall in the interval [0, 1] with 1
* using a Condition *)
{1, 2, 3, 0.4, 0} /. x_ /; 0 <= x <= 1 -> 1
Here the
Condition is the same true/false test after the
/; operator. I [mostly] understand how these work, but I am curious why both of these exist. I can see why one method would be preferable in some conditions while the other would be preferable in other conditions. For instance, a
PatternTest seems to be preferable in situations where a simple test is involved:
f[x_Integer?EvenQ] := x+1
And a
Condition seems preferable when a more complex condition is required:
f[x_Integer /; EvenQ[x] && Positive[x]] := x+1
Is this the only justification for having both operators? Are there additional details behind-the-scenes that should influence my decision of which one to use or is it purely a matter of preference?
As a bonus, are there any old timers that can give the history of these two methods of pattern matching? I.e, which of these two operators was implemented first in Mathematica?
I apologize in advance if this has already been asked or is a simple regurgitation of a frequently asked question. A quick search didn't reveal much for me.
Thank you!
From the answers that have been posted so far, it appears that
Conditions have a much wider and more general use case than
PatternTests. I wonder if it would be correct to say that the use cases for
PatternTest are a subset of the use cases for
Condition, and hence
PatternTests are merely a syntactic sugar of sorts and is more or less redundant (although still helpful and preferable is some circumstances.) This still begs the question of why
PatternTests exist other than as a convenience. This is where a historian might be able to shine some light. If
PatternTests were first implemented in Mathematica, then adding
Conditions in a later version would add flexibility to the language. However, if the
Condition shorthand syntax was first implemented, then was the
PatternTest syntax later implemented as a shorthand convenience operator?
I hope I am not stretching this question too thin. However I am hoping to eek out just a tad bit more information before accepting an answer.

Introductionphosphorus (fŏsˈfərəs) [key] [Gr., = light-bearing], nonmetallic chemical element; symbol P; at. no. 15; at. wt. 30.97376; m.p. 44.1°C; b.p. about 280°C; sp. gr. 1.82 at 20°C; valence - 3, +3, or +5. Solid phosphorus has a tetratomic molecule (P4) with molecular weight 123.8952 atomic mass units (amu). Phosphorus was discovered c.1674 by Hennig Brand of Hamburg, an alchemist, who prepared it from urine. Phosphoric acid was discovered in 1770 by K. W. Scheele and J. G. Gahn in bone ash (see ash); Scheele later isolated phosphorus from bone ash (1774) and produced phosphoric acid by the action of nitric acid on phosphorus (1777).

Donald Ben Nikolaus
Don was born June 11, 1923 in Zurich, Calif. Zurich was a train depot outside of Big Pine where his parents, Paul and Emily Nikolaus lived. Paul was the Slim Princess track supervisor for the Zurich line. Don graduated from Big Pine Unified High School in 1941. He enlisted into the United States Coast Guard Jan. 12, 1943 to April 3, 1946. Don was sent to the South Pacific War at Guadalcanal. He was a sharpshooter in rifle and received three stars in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre of Operations, Good Conduct Medal, American Theatre of Operations, World War II Victory Ribbon, honorable discharge button, honorable service lapel button and a blue honorable discharge Emblem.
Don married Shirley Dean Edith Miller-Nikolaus Nov. 10, 1946. They were married for 50 years before Shirley passed in 1997. Don worked for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in Bishop for 41 years until he retired in January 1989. He lived in Big Pine and loved the Owens Valley. Don loved the outdoors. He hunted every year for his deer. He walked and knew the Sierra mountains very well. He also loved fishing. Every summer he would take his grand-daughter Amy fishing every weekend and sometimes she could talk him into it after work. They had their favorite fishing hole where they would go rain or shine. Later he took his great-grandchildren Jessica and Nik fishing.
Don loved his family and was always there for anyone who needed him. He loved his grandchildren and especially his three great-grandchildren. His great-grandchildren: Jessica, 20, Nikolaus, 16, and Destinie, 14. His two grandchildren: Amy Nikolaus, and Katie Stoner.
Don passed peacefully in his sleep on Nov. 21, 2012 after a short illness with lung cancer and a stroke. He is at peace now and no longer in pain or discomfort. He will always be with us in our hearts and memories.
He is proceeded in death by his wife Shirley of 50 years; brothers, Alfonse Nikolaus and Jim Nikolaus; sister and brother-in-law, Lillian Nelson and Ken Nelson; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Loren "Bud" Huffman and Dorothy "Dutch" Huffman; and brother-in-law, Scotty Miller.
Don is survived by his daughters, Patricia and husband, Don Wescott of Wellington, Nev. and Jennifer and husband, Dale Taylor of Big Pine; sisters-in-law, Betty Nikolaus of Gardnerville, Nev. and Evelyn Mae Nikolaus of Independence; grandchildren, Amy Nikolaus and boyfriend John Williamson of Bishop and Katie Stoner of Spokane, Wash.; great-grandchildren, Jessica Nelson of Orcutt, Nikolaus Steinwand of Bishop and Destinie Stoner of Spokane, WA.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Big Pine Cemetery. There will be a celebration of life luncheon following at the Big Pine Methodist Church. Services will allow for anyone who would like to share a special memory of Donald Ben.
In in-lieu of flowers the family would like any donations to be made to: Hospice of the Owens Valley, 155 Pioneer Lane, Bishop, CA 93514.

and while i''ll write each of them a response, some of the thoughts i'm having may apply to more than just my brave gals who reached out.
so to those of you who may find comfort in someone knowing your pain, here's what i've been thinking....
i think i'm writing this because i may need to reference this in another 15 minutes.
anxiety comes at the strangest times and derails me from what i know to be true.
stupid anxiety.
i rarely (if ever) write about what/who/how my future husband (even that word seems so intense) will be. if anyone knew my former boyfriends, they'd realize that my mercurial gemini nature also applies to my preference in men.
but i have loved and been loved by some pretty remarkable men.
i have felt certain and sure about one and when that relationship ended (due to circumstances bigger than him or me), i couldn't understand the cruelty. i felt destined never to be happy or settled or sure again.
if it was "right," why isn't it always "right?' and why can't it be...
i struggled with that in my prayers for months. it was devastating.
i mourned for months (some of you were fed up with my moping and expressed it in your comments... sorry... i had to go thru that) and then i happily poured myself into another relationship which just ended shy of a year. i worked hard and loved hard in that relationship but it takes two, doesn't it. another devastation.
breakups are hard. circumstantial depression runs deep and the pain can be overwhelming.
as the oldest of 5 girls, i've seen a lot of breakups in my family alone... and with my friends, i've become an expert in breakup advice. some of the relationships that have ended are clearly for the best- but that doesn't mean it hurts any less.
in those cases, i've found that the absence of hope is really what you're mourning- not necessarily the man. when hope is lost, the world feels bleak and despair overwhelms.
i recently had a doctor (totally inappropriate) ask,
"so have you given any thought to maybe giving this [i'm assuming my career?]
all up for something more meaningful?"
after stifling the urge to slap her and scream out, "NO, I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! THANKS FOR THAT LIGHTBULB! ALL THIS TIME, I'VE BEEN PUSHING AMAZING RELATIONSHIPS AWAY IN ORDER TO PRANCE AROUND ON STAGE! YOU CHANGED MY WORLD!!!" i simply said, "i haven't been in the right relationship for marriage and children to be a possibility yet."
to be clear, i've never been on a "husband hunt." to me, success is not in HAVING a husband. rather, success is loving and caring and sharing with a partner who reciprocates.
it's funny, in nyc, people are more interested in what you DO and who you ARE.
what i'm finding in utah, is that people are more interested in whether or not i'm married or have children. all good things- and aspets of life that i desire- but not the benchmark for happiness and certainly not the benchmark for success.
remember, just because someone has a career, it does not mean they do not wish for a family.
but in the meantime, i refuse to feel like my life is less meaningful because i'm not currently coupled.
i keep re-reading elder hale's october conference talk, "waiting upon the Lord: Thy will be done."
read it.
it's his finest.
i could do a whole 5 posts dissecting it.
what struck me the most :
"In the scriptures, the word wait means to hope, to anticipate, and to trust."
"waiting upon the Lord means to "stand fast" and "press forward" in faith, "having a perfect brightness of hope."
because he's coming.
he's worth the wait and he's lucky to have you.

Interesting, I never knew there are ads on Phoronix, this is what happens when one uses Adblock...

Interesting, I never knew there are ads on Phoronix, this is what happens when one uses Adblock...
Yeah, that's a bit of a sore point here, it's started a few flame wars . I joined after hanging around here for a while to support the site, partially for the single-page articles, but I use and enjoy Adblock (and Lynx, for that matter). HTML was never designed to force a client app to present a page as the designer thought it should look (specifically when you get into problems like accessibility).
But anyway, welcome to the forums!
I disable adblock on Phoronix and many other websites I wish to support. I also click ad links and buy hardware related to your articles.
Supporting a website is one thing, viewing advertising is another. Being forced to view advertising has become the internet norm. Expecting users to view the forced advertising and thus support the website is definitely being over optimistic.
What if Firefox had Adblock built in? Does that mean google goes from a billion dollar company to a few thousands?
Websites provide users with a service. Users use the services they want.
Advertising forces unwanted content onto a user, sometimes even detracting from the service provided. Users still have the right to view what they want to view, regardless of however it may affect the content provider.
Advertising is a privilege, not a right. Installing whatever software you want on your personal computer is a right, not a privilege.
Exactly my thoughts. On a public website, the user has every right to what script or other data is executed or downloaded onto their computer.

Stylish by itself, perfect with charms, this sterling silver chain bracelet makes an elegant statement. Each link is embellished with a traditional southwestern twist rope design that symbolizes strength and friendship. Adjustable bracelet measures 7-1/4" long x 5/8" wide and closes with a lobster claw clasp and Carolyn's signature CP. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

In the ever-expanding and competitive market of CSA farming, many of you are offering Buy-Down Style or Market Style CSA shares, where members receive a flat amount of credit to order from you each week rather than a standard picked box. Small Farm Central is happy to announce that we are rolling out some new developments that should hopefully make administering this type of CSA much easier for you with Member Assembler.
The key features will be:
- Members can receive credit to their accounts automatically when they sign up according to credit levels you set. These credit levels may differ from the price of the share if you choose, for example: a share that cost $500 will actually give your member $525 in credit. Also, any changes made to their membership will automatically adjust their credit.
- Members will receive access to a "buy-down" department only after their invoice is fully paid. So, even though they have the credit on their account after signing up, they still need to pay you for it before they can use their credit to shop in the department.
- All users sharing a Membership will have access to the credit. It will no longer have to be the primary user who logs in to make the selections.
These tools work independently of one another so you can mix or match them into your other options for running your Member Assembler, as needed. We can always work creatively with you to solve your business model's technical issues as best we can. Our target for releasing these features is before the end of February. While there is still some testing to be done, we wanted to give you a heads-up so that you can plan for the upcoming 2014 CSA season.
You will no doubt notice a major change to your Control Panel: an upgraded version of the visual text editor you use for creating content on your Small Farm Central site. Check it out!
This most recent upgrade contains all of the tools you need to build your website pages and emails and has smoothed out many of the bugs that plagued the previous version. Most importantly, unlike the old iteration, this new text editor is compatable with the most recent version of Internet Explorer, thus necessitating the upgrade.
You will see many familiar icons and features in the toolbar and to learn what each tool does, simply hover your cursor over each icon, to learn what each button does. There are also some changes to be aware of. There is no longer a button for spell checking, now it is just done automatically for you! You'll see now there is also a word count and also a path tracker showing what html markups are in effect wherever your cursor is. You won't see the "remove formatting" eraser anymore, but you can use the underlined "Tx" to remove formatting in the same way. The Undo and Redo buttons are a new and welcomed addition to the toolbar. Finally, you will still be able to switch to the html code view if you want to format this way. Simply click on the two brackets in the upper right.
While it was necessary to upgrade the text editor because of the issues with Internt Explorer, we hope that its sleeker design with clearer buttons and smoother interface will be a welcome change for you in any case. Let us know what you think and give us your suggestions by contacting Small Farm Central support.
We will be continuting to roll out new features and making updates to existing ones as the year goes on. Stay tuned to the blog for more news about how Small Farm Central's services imporove!
We're back! Just a little note to let you know that the Small Farm Central team is back from our break and working furiously to develop new features, help set up websites, configure Member Assembler sign-up, answer questions, and tackle all the other behind the scenes tasks that we regularly do. Jump right in to 2014 with us! Dust off your keyboard and put up some photos, start getting ready to take CSA sign-ups, or write a blog post. Let your customers know what's happening on your farm in the winter months, whether you're battling the weather or enjoying a milder climate. As usual, we're here to help. So give us a call (412-567-3864) or send us an email if you have any questions.
In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia at Season's Bounty Farm, Brimstone the llama watches over a flock of ewes who are happily munching on some hay. What's happening on your farm during these wintery days?
It's that time of year again at Small Farm Central...no, not the time when we remind you to create a new Member Assembler Season, or the time when we bug you to update your blog. Now is the time when the Small Farm Central staff takes a short hiatus during the holidays. Much like our farmers, who take some time to relax before next year's work begins, so does the SFC team. Therefore on Tuesday the 24th we will begin a period of "light support" that lasts until January 2nd when we will return to the office nicely rested and ready to tackle the new year.
Don't worry! As always, we will maintain the health of the service, including major bug fixes, and our 24/7 monitoring of the servers never stops. Additionally, we're never really that far from our keyboards, so we will still get back to you promptly if you have a question or concern. "Light support" simply means that we will not be scheduling sales phone calls and will limit communication to email responses. We know you are busy spending time with your loved ones, enjoying holiday festivities, and otherwise hibernating, so it's likely that you won't even notice.
During the break, don't forget that our helpful and comprehensive Knowledge Base of information is a workhorse that never takes vacations. If you are looking to find out more about Member Assembler, our live software demonstrations will resume in the new year starting on January 8th. You can sign up for one here. In the meantime, take a look at our Member Assembler video tours. You can also stay up to date with Small Farm Central news by subscribing to the blog, liking our Facebook page, or following us on Twitter.
This is also the only time of year that we encourage you to send that last email, turn off your computer, and forget about your website for a while. We'll see you back online in 2014. Thanks for a great year!
-Simon & the Small Farm Central team.
Last month we wrote up a blog post about End-of-the-Year CSA Reporting and reminded you that this is a good time to get some feedback from your CSA members. Customer feeback is an important way to confirm that what you are offering is meeting the needs of your community, and Small Farm Central itself often uses surveys to gather information and evaluate our services. Recently we did our own end-of-the-year survey and we've compiled some of the highlights to share with you.
First off, there were a lot of great suggestions in the responses. We will use these suggestions to build a development roadmap for the next year. The suggestions keep us improving, but the positive comments keep us going! Here are just a few nice comments we received:
"Everything! We were so excited to switch to SFC this past June, just in time for our Summer Session, and we have gotten nothing but rave reviews from our members. The template is sleek and displays information very well, and we have already found that it makes a big difference in how new customers find us."
"That I can post a short "note" that will go out automatically to those subscribed to RSS, and now learning that I can have it go directly to our Facebook page too. I like that I can email for help and get a response, and that there are people I can speak with for help at SFC. Customer service is excellent, which is what I rave about to others when they tell me the problems they have with their websites."
"It is easy to use/update for the most part. Frankly, I just don't utilize/update it as much as I should."
Some other areas to highlight:

Do you allow your CSA customers to do any type of customization to their shares?
36% are doing some sort of CSA customization
32% are considering it for the future
16% will never do customized CSA
15% other
What kind of CSA customization do you allow or do you want to allow?
Full box customization through online interface 22%
Partial box customization through online interface 18%

Pay-as-you-go CSA -- for example, $25/week until cancelled 17%
Ability to change pick-up locations for a specific week or place box on hold and get a double-box later 45%
Other 30%
We also inquired about mobile technology that farmers were currently using. This is a major area of interest to us moving forward and we see lots of opportunity for us to help our farms with the "mobile" world. The technology is definitely changing quickly!
In closing, we just want to thank those of you who took the time to fill out our survey. We want you to know that we value your responses and it means a lot that you took the time out of your day to assess our services. This kind of feedback is essential as we look to improve into the future.
Keep the feedback coming and we'll keep working to improve our software!
Thanksgiving wishes from Small Farm Central!
What's the best gift a farmer can give a loved one this holiday season?
One that's produced from the hard work they put in on their farm.
What's the second best gift? One produced by a fellow farmer!
For those of us without farms of our own, the best gift is any that supports the work of a small farmer. So for farmers, fans, and foodies alike, check out this list of gifts from some of the farmers that use Small Farm Central's website services to sell their goods online. Click on each farm name and you'll be taken directly to their online store!
Honey makes the best gift! It's practical and indulgent at the same time. Bedillion Honey farm in Western Pennsylvania sells their honey in a variety of sizes and in a transparent container. With the golden honey and farm logo on the bottle, all you need to do is add a ribbon. It's too pretty to wrap!
This 100% baby alpaca scarf keeps you warm and highlights your features, especially those with "baby blues". No wonder this scarf is so popular and looks good on so many wearers.
Garlic is the specialty at Knob View Farm, and they make their garlic salt with care in small batches. The ingredients include naturally evaporated sea salt and ground garlic, but their secret addition is roasted garlic seed for a richer garlic flavor in all your meat and vegetable dishes.
Based on the popularity of their farm-grown, full-fruit jams, Plum Granny Farm has added gift-sized versions of its top three varieties for the Holidays. These little gems in a jar are filled with Old Fashioned Raspberry Jam, Old Fashioned Blackberry Jam or Raspberry-Cranberry Jam and all are available on their website for ordering.
Eugene Wyatt at Catskill Merino Sheep Farm names his yarn after things that inspire him, be that an Impressionist painting, a New York City neighborhood or even a treat for his dog. Just browse the yarn store on his website and Eugene's rainbow will inspire you to gift his hand-dyed yarn to the knitters in your life, or even take up the hobby yourself!
Soften and moisturize your elbows, knees, and feet with this deliciously sented body scrub from the Girly Goat's Soap Store. Brown Sugar gentle removes dry skin while wonderful oils smooth your skin. Made with a touch of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice it's a treat for your body with a sweet fragrance.
Vollmecke Orchards has put together a trio of delicious fruit butters. They are all made in small batches using fresh fruits, a little citrus, some spices and a touch of white grape juice concentrate to sweeten them up a bit. All delicious as a topping for vanilla ice cream, swirled into yogurt or used in baking. Bring them along with you on your holiday travel, they make the perfect hostess gift!
Most traditional CSA farmers are finishing up the final weeks of their 2013 CSA program around this time of the year. We at Small Farm Central hope it was a successful season for you. In the same way that school teachers always laugh if you ask if they are excited for their "time off" when the school year ends, we know that farmers never really have time off, even when the ground is unworkable and sometimes the roads are impassable. One of the tasks you'll find yourself doing this winter is a reassessment of your CSA program's business model. What worked? What didn't? What can be improved or used as a new opportunity? Your Small Farm Central reporting tools can help inform those decisions.
The Income Report at Member Assembler > Statistics contains compiled data for all of the invoices for a season. In addition to the counts of shares, which you've been looking at all year, you also have totals for Coupons you've given out, manual Adjustments you've made, plus any Discounts and Charges that you configured. Some things you might consider while going over this information:
-How well did some of your marketing strategies work out with specific Coupons? Is it worth expanding that or saving yourself the effort?
-How much did you recoup in credit card transaction fees? Did it wind up balancing what you lost in processing fees?
-What about early signup discounts? Does it seem that many people used it? Is there a way to simplify your life a little by rolling a lot of types of discounts into one using a percentage rather than flat amounts?
Retention is always a good indication of program success. Using the new tool also at Member Assembler > Statistics, you can see not only what percent of your memberships continued from one season to another, you can also see how this breaks down by Pickup Location and Member Type. How well did you do with Retention this year compared to last year? Did one Pickup perform considerably poorer than the others? It might be worth deciding if there was an issue with that location and maybe finding a replacement for next year. Is the retention rate really high for folks who got a new specialized share type? That could just be an indication that more of your committed members chose it or it could be that it gave customers a strong sense of satisfaction in its value. You can also compare your own numbers to our other Member Assembler CSAs by looking at the Benchmark data.
Reviewing this information will help you to make decisions about what should be changed for your next season and to see where your main focus will lie. If Retention is good, you can feel confident in what you offer and your service. Use your great reputation in your marketing efforts. If retention seems on the lower side, concentrate on ways to fixing the issues so that customers will want to return season after season.
Lastly, if you are also a website customer of Small Farm Central, you probably already know about the custom forms you can build at Create Content > Forms. This is a great opportunity to get direct feedback from your members as to their satisfaction with your CSA and things they'd like to see. You can also take advantage of survey software online. Lots of companies offer a free version to try out. It always helps to offer an incentive to the customers who take time out of their day to fill something out. How about a drawing for that fifty-pound pumpkin you've been wondering who's going to take off your hands?
Small Farm Central is proud to announce that we will once again be partnering with the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture to present the CSA Expert Exchange online conference.

Love this product! I was a little concerned about the smell, but I actually like it. A little of this product goes a long way. My hair is short, but very thick. I was able to get 3 uses out of each tube. I consolidated all of my tubes into a 5 oz. container for ease of use.
I've since discovered that any product with alcohol is not "kind" to my curly kinky hair... This product has no alcohol and as a result does not dry out my hair. Using it daily helps keeps away the frizzes... I can actually comb my hair everyday, which is a blessing.
I wasn't the type of person to use anything extra in my hair; I used shampoo and conditioner. I am so satisfied with this product I wanted to share my excitement with someone. I had frizzy hair that seemed to be like that no matter how often I conditioned. After applying this product to my damp hair and letting it dry I instantly saw a side of my hair I have never seen before. All of sudden it was soft, straight, and luxurious. It completely dries up leaving zero residue and the hair is left soft, touchable, and surprisingly easy to style without the use of styling products. I don't mean stuff that is going to hold all day, but it will keep form for a bit. One packet has lasted me about 5 uses, granted I am a guy with short hair; nonetheless, for this price I definitely think it is worth the money even on a poor grad student budget.
This oil provides sheen and moisture to the hair. A little goes a long way. I use it to moisten the ends of my hair which is dry from frequent coloring. It is not 100% Argan oil, but it does the intended job. The little packets are also convenient for travel.
this stuff is amazing. Whether you color, perm or have frizzy hair, this is great and it takes so little. when you run it through your hair any left on your hands, rub in into nails and cuticles. After I bought these smaller sizes I found out you can buy it in bottle form..I use about the size of a pea, rub through your hands and message it in through hair. Then brush. It even helps your scalp. I love this hair oil because it doesn't look oily and makes your hair soft and shine.
This product is pretty good, it actually leaves your hair very soft and moisturized also you get a lot of packets so I predict that you won't run out anytime soon.
Leaves hair moisturized without weighing hair down. Love it!!! Really good price compared to Target.
I like this product for my short dry hair as it helps tame my ends; however, this is not pure argan oil. It's an inexpensive way to try this product . I poured the packets into another bottle as I do not use it all at once. I think it would be a great product for those with long hair that needs smoothing.
love it, will buy again...its all it says it is and more!!!!!!
I have thick curly hair. This product doesn't give me the smoothness I expected and leaves my hair frizzy and fly away. It does make my hair soft - which is nice for some, but not so much for my type of hair. Oh yeah, it smells great and I got compliments on how good I smelled!

Eddie Money Extends Summer Tour Through September
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
It's a safe bet that once Eddie Money starts booking his tour itinerary, every few weeks -- or sometimes every few days -- the quintessential New York City rocker starts adding more shows to the schedule. As it stands now, Money just added 13 new stops to his summer tour, which will now wrap on September 28th in East Meadow, New York, with new shows now on the books for Fayetteville, Arkansas; Saratoga Springs and Jamesville, New York; Baytown, Texas; Birkenfeld, Oregon; Sharon, Pennsylvania; Friant, California; Royal Oak, Michigan; and Coconut Creek and Hollywood, Florida.
We asked Money how despite his success in the '70s and '80s he's still a top concert draw -- without ever having to launch a "comeback" tour to entice audiences to come out: "Well, y'know why that was? Because I wasn't a Huey Lewis or a Michael Bolton or somebody that was gonna hit and hit big and -- 'Get outta here, we're so sick of this!' Everybody pictures Eddie Money in, y'know, not really an earring, or a goatee. It's usually a shirt and tie kinda guy and with a. . . Sears & Roebuck jacket on (laughs)." )

Giordano Rapido Single Speed Road Bike - 56cm

And depending on what vibe you're looking for, there are sure to be several neighborhoods and St. Louis apartments that will suit you perfectly.
The low cost of living in St. Louis makes it a great home for those who want the big city experience without the big city expenses. Coming in below the national average, renting apartments in St. Louis can cost as low as $400 a month in some areas, while the more urbanized areas are pricier yet still much more affordable than their counterparts in other large cities. St. Louis apartment amenities range from luxurious spas to covered parking. Generally the more conveniences an apartment complex provides, the higher the rent will be.

Ive got a whole bedroom that's isolated from the house separated by my bleechers! I'd fill that whole room up!
I would cut the towers down, flip the bed around to the other side of the room, and that would open up the other bedroom, and I could either aim them through the door or cut holes in the walls to make use of the rest of the room.
How far away is your listening postion? What's the expected bandwith of the House Wrecker since it's tuned to 11hz? Also, what's aerated PP?

Looks very capable to say the least! Are the other 6) 10" CVXs going to be in tapped horns as well or are they mainly to smooth response to let the HW do it's thing?

Research Interests
Prostate Cancer
Dr. Patrick C. Walsh is a professor of urology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is recognized internationally as a pioneer in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Dr. Walsh is best known for his pioneering work in the development of "the anatomic approach to radical prostatectomy," which involves nerve-sparing techniques that have reduced the probability of impotence and incontinence, and for his 30 years as director of the Brady Urological Institute. He has also made major contributions to the basic understanding of benign and malignant neoplasms of the prostate. Along with co-workers, he was the first to describe the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme deficiency, to develop an experimental technique for the induction of benign prostatic hyperplasia, to demonstrate the influence of reversible androgen deprivation on BPH, and to characterize hereditary prostatic cancer.
Dr. Walsh received his undergraduate and medical training at Case Western Reserve University. After an internship and junior residency in surgery at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, he conducted an assistant residency in pediatric surgery at The Children''s Hospital Medical Center in Boston, and a residency in urology as well as a fellowship in endocrinology at the University of California Los Angeles, School of Medicine.
He joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins in 1974. In 2004 he was named University Distinguished Service Professor of Urology.
Dr. Walsh has received dozens of national and international awards and honors. He has authored or co-authored more than 600 articles and three books, including a best-seller for lay people titled The Prostate: A Guide for Men and the Women Who Love Them. For 25 years he was the editor-in-chief of Campbell''s Textbook of Urology, which has been renamed in his honor. He is on the editorial board of the New England Journal of Medicine, is a member of numerous international professional organizations and has served as the president of both the American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons and the Clinical Society of Genitourinary Surgeons.

Maybe they are aiming for GCC like speed with a cleaner code base, and that is what drives them...
So basicly its 99% the lisence that drives this project am I right?
I mean yes its nice to have some cool features and stuff, but if you really dont care about speed why the hell would you wann use C? Then you would use python/javascript or something like that. But for some parts speed matters, and then in most cases 10% more speed or less matters also. So if thats right and the benchmarks are true that in 99% of the cases this new compiler results in noticable slower blobs, I dont see much usecases.
Or is it guarantied that you can take code that runs with this compiler and compile it for production systems than without any code changes with gcc? Than you could maybe use that for having better developer-experience and in the end compile it with gcc so the end users get the speed on this parts that are written in C to have speed. (The only reason a sane person would write code in C).
Maybe they are aiming for GCC like speed with a cleaner code base, and that is what drives them...

I still laugh when people thinking that only having one compiler able to compile the linux kernel is a good idea...
LLVM is BSD licensed, and as long as the Copyright holder(which isn't Apple) doesn't change the license, it will ever be. And thus, LLVM will ever be an opensource project.
Anything Apple can do is take the code from LLVM, modify it, and distribute it how they want. However, that again doesn't change the license of LLVM.
GPL allows closed source software.
Nothing in BSD will prevent closing down. Everything in GPL is designed to keep seperate from closed source.
BSD is not free software, it is "public software", public domain plus small copyright notice.
This is the single difference that results in 3 clause vs 5 page license difference.
Pay attention to MacOSX, its in essence a stolen BSD.
And BSD crowd is trolling Linux, how them should be desktop OS too and how Linux prevents it. This is ridiculous they don't storm Apple for some things to put back! They are what their license is.
Easy. Proprietary modules above and between, which are strategically important.
This is not critical, unless you actually NEED Apple to work. At this point, the "free version" is useless. Just as Darwin.

And then, there is this patent thingy. Real cheap if you are a corporation.
This cancels out your first variant.
However, if the license didn't have this clause, should they need it, they would rewrite it, since they are not bound by agreements.
And then the precedent is still not happened, the bomb is ticking, until then its just enough to know that its lying there waiting for the day.
And yes, from the technical side, its always good to rewrite the stuff once more to get rid of deep architectural mistakes, and having one more compiler with unique build-up is a good thing.

Yes Concert Tickets
Prog rock gods Yes were hugely influential in the musical movement that influenced such diverse artists as The Mars Volta, Sufjan Stevens and Radiohead. Yes' symphonic song structures and extended instrumentals melded classical music with rock and paved the way for the layered, sprawling arrangements that have sold countless Yes tickets over the years.
Yes tour dates have a history of personnel changes and the drama surrounding the departure of original singer Jon Anderson for respiratory failure and his replacement with Yes cover band singer Benoit David took fans by surprise, but David proved himself onstage and the new line-up has Anderson's blessing.
Now after a decade hiatus from recording music, the new Yes album Fly From Here is out and finds the band in rare form, recreating the prog rock vibe and expanding on their signature sound. Now you can see Yes live on tour with Styx and you can see them in person with Yes Washington tickets, Yes Los Angeels tickets, Yes San Diego tickets and many other locations!

Reading Wheel of Time for the first time
I have been reading fantasy books for about 15 years now and one series that I've never read but always meant to was the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. I've always avoided spoilers of this series as I've known I would read it one day. With the news that the final book is due to be released next year I though it would be the perfect time to start.
What would you guys say I have in store for me? How does it shape compared to Erikson, GRRM, Bakker et al.
I've read a lot of so called "Gritty" fantasy over the last few years and I have a feeling this isn't so much, which actually might be a nice change of tone.
I have one concern that it may be more geared towards younger readers, in the same vain as Eddings, is this the case also?
September 14th, 2012, 07:11 AM #2
It's more mature than Eddings and certainly richer in world development. It's not gritty in the sense that the violence and crushing gruesomeness is handled off stage for the most part and the people curse liberally but with made up curses.
It is most certainly epic with a sweep of history that is hard to match.

Worth the read. Very enjoyable and a classic that must be read. The only negative is that Jordan progresses the plot a tad bit slow.
September 14th, 2012, 12:09 PM #4
It isn't gritty in the modern sense of swearing, shagging and stabbing and has a bit of a PG-13 feel to it, but it isn't YA either - some of the themes are adult and there are moments that are fairly philosophical. The entire story arc is basically a classic messiah tale, reasonably Christian-influenced but not quite as obvious about it as Tolkien.
It lags a bit towards the mid-later books (9 and 10 especially) but it picks up again with the last Jordan book.
Sanderson has done a mighty fine job of picking up where Jordan left off, in my opinion, and for all that I don't personally care for his other stuff I think he'll bring this home in style. I'd say it's definitely worth plugging through the dull ones to get to the end.
September 14th, 2012, 12:22 PM #5
I read the series in full about 15 years ago and then Path of Daggers and Winter's Heart when they were both initially released. I think I re-read The Eye of the World and maybe The Great Hunt when Winter's Heart published in 2000....
...anyway, reading the series for the first time, especially The Shadow Rising, Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos were some of the most exciting and enjoyable reading experiences for me up to that time so I think (and hope) you are in for a treat Doggles.
I've embarked on a re-read over the past couple of years with the most recent one being A Crown of Swords which fared much better on a re-read than I remembered from my initial read and was very pleasantly surprised.

Prepare yourself for a ton of bloat. I say this having loved this series, but it's true.
Jordan filled his books with repetitive thoughts and actions from many of his characters. He filled his books with gushing descriptions of his characters' beauty and their wardrobes. He added new characters and story-lines unnecessary to the overall plot. He even wrote a book that pretty much details the events prior to the book before it--all but leaving out the main character.
By the time you catch up you'll have read about 10,000 pages.
There's plenty to love about it. The characters remain some of the most memorable in my mind. The world is rich and interesting--I fondly recall many landmarks still. I will eagerly buy the finale, but I doubt very much I'd ever consider rereading any of the books that came before.
September 14th, 2012, 05:53 PM #8
one of the best - i am jealous that you are embarking on your first read...
September 14th, 2012, 10:02 PM #9
I am on my first read of the series as well. I am currently about half way through the third book.
I felt Eye of the World was a solid opener to the series. It definitely felt heavily inspired by Middle Earth, which I expected due to Jordan's involvement with the series. Even knowing that though, I was still surprised how heavily it borrowed from it. Still, I enjoyed his writing, it was entertaining and certainly had enough going on to keep my interest in continuing the series.
The Great Hunt really established the series on its own merits for me. Brilliant writing, direction and story as I really felt the world developed a richer history. It is one of my favorite reads in the fantasy genre thus far.
Like I said, I am about half way through The Dragon Reborn. It is a tiny step back from the 2nd so far, IMO, but it is still quite good. The series is very rich. My only problem, thus far, is that the character development has stagnated to this point. I can't say that any of the main characters has evolved in any manner thus far after the major developments that many went through in the 2nd. We shall see what happens in the rest though.
I think you are in for a very good read. I was in the exact same boat as you and am quite glad I have finally started the series. I likely won't be done for a few years though as I am taking breaks between reads, so you likely will finish before me if you stick with it.

A few years ago there was a pretty big disagreement here about the quality of the WOT series. It came very close to the same acrimonious pros and cons of Goodkinds Sword of Truth series, which I found a ridiculous comparison.
A lot of people here will tell you they dislike this series, but a LOT more will tell you they loved it and I am ONE of them ! ! !
I have read all those other series you mentioned and liked them all. I'll even admit to loving Erikson, but never Martin and I do not like Bakker at all even though I did read his first 4 books. Can I get a rebate there?
The WOT is the greatest fantasy series you will ever read if you are a not a pretentious literary snob. The books are long and yes Jordan has/had a tendency to run on with his setting descriptions, but when he gets back to the story it is well worth the wait.
I have never read any books that have had so many characters I have cared so much about nor so many villains I have hated. No other books have ever engaged both my mind and my heart as this series has.
I eagerly await the final book this next spring. Brandon Sanderson has done a marvelous job of carrying on with Robert's work.
The best fantasy series I have ever read. I have re-read most of the books at least once.

I've never wanted to be thought of as "pretentious" or a "snob", and that's one of the reasons that I've refrained from joining organizations such as Mensa.
But at the same time, I can't help but see some failings with this series, chief among them imho, a lack of complexity in the prose, dialogue and characterization. If you don't see such things, or care about such failings, then good for you. But do you really expect those who might to lie about their honest impressions in order to spare your feelings? How far do you expect others to not give their genuine thoughts on these books in order to validate your personal perspective?

I am so jealous. I wish I could experience the journey for the first time again. Brings back memories of skipping classes and spending days in a quiet corner of the public library reading them. Good old days!
Best wishes.

Moving forward indeed....
Fain, to be fair, is utterly loathable but that's what he's there for and is, therefore, still engaging in his repulsive way to my mind.
There's some old saw about how the measure of a man is counted by the strength of his enemies, or something like that, and would the messiah figure of Rand be anything like as impressive if he was facing characterless, faceless "evil dudes"? Great enemies help make a great story, and you can't hate them for that.
