using the evaluation to bridge the gap to release?

Posted September 2, 2012 at 1:23PM
I will soon be getting a new laptop without an installed OS (and so a blank SSD). Should I buy a copy of Win7 and then use the £15 upgrade option or would burning an image of the Win8 evaluation from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx and using the free trial of the software to fill the gap between now and release be a smarter option? The reason for this would be cost, a copy of Win7 plus the upgrade package would be ~£90 where trial of Win8 plus a preordered copy of Win8 would be £50. Anyone have any better ideas? I didn't consider piracy as a viable option...
Thanks :)

Suggest you read some of the reactions to Windows 8 in this and other Forums and then make up your mind if W8 is for you. Some like it but the overwhelming response, as far as I can judge--and I have tried the pre release versions, is it is a most unwelcome introduction by Microsoft for a number of reasons. These include the rather silly step to remove the simplest of everyday PC requirements, the 'Start' button and the failure to include Windows Media Centre as standard but there are others. Probably the greatest irritation is forgetting that touch screens for desktop users are hardly a cheap or ergonomically desirable alternative.
The laptop/desktop as we know it in Windows 7 and other OS's will remain a preferred option for most of us for many years to come . Maybe merging the ways we use tablets phones and desktops has some merit but this is not the way to tackle that. I personally am keeping fingers crossed that Windows 9 will bring some sanity back into the Microsoft OS world and its release will not be long delayed.

I already have two touch screen laptops, but I wouldn't consider Win 8 for an instant, even though one of them qualifies for a free upgrade.

Sharing Results
PSAT/NMSQT reports are powerful tools for promoting college readiness and college planning, especially when they are explained to students and parents and shared with other educators.
Student Information Sessions
In December, your school will receive each student's PSAT/NMSQT score report to distribute to students. However, without some context for understanding their reports, students may rush to look at their scores and stop there. We recommend setting up an information session for students that includes an introduction to My College QuickStartTM, the free, personalized online tool described below.
Score Reports
Discuss the score report, its meaning, and its interpretation beforeyou hand out individual reports and test books. Make sure to give students the test books they used.
To help students understand the information without the distraction of their own scores, we included a sample score report with the Official Educator Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT (.pdf/1.92MB).
You can also download score-related resources.
Younger Students
An information session is also an opportunity to reassure younger students who may be discouraged by scores that seem low. Remind them that their scores will improve as they continue to study and grow. Handouts for younger students are available in the Educator Guide to help you make this point.
My College QuickStart
Let students know about My College QuickStart. With this free online college and career planning tool, students interact with their score report, filtering test questions by difficulty and skill and viewing complete answer explanations. They can also:
- Prepare for the SAT with a customized study plan (for high school students).
- View personalized lists of colleges, majors, and careers.
- Take a personality test.
- View their AP Potential feedback.
Learn more about My College QuickStart and view a demo.
Parent Communications
To guarantee that parents see the score report and can discuss it with their children, some schools mail parents a copy, along with a letter of explanation. If parents have questions about the test results, they can bring their copy when they meet with you or a teacher.
PSAT/NMSQT materials for parents include flyers in English and Spanish (found in the Educator Guide) and a letter template introducing My College QuickStart (.doc/29KB).
Educator Reports and Resources
Help your colleagues understand what the test measures and which tools help students understand their test results. Here are ways to provide teachers and administrators with test information:
- Share your School Summary Report and other test result information with school staff prior to distributing students' score reports. View resources for educators about score reports.
- Distribute extra copies of PSAT/NMSQT test books to teachers.
- Encourage staff to view the My College QuickStart demo for high school educators.
- Share My College QuickStart lesson plans.

I am not a fan of double or triple blocks on any sheet as I think they cause the line to twist and get quite squirrelly. I would use 'fiddle blocks' instead as the line seems to travel through them more smoothly without binding or twisting. They are also more expensive.
I like the idea of the extra means to let the main out with another lower powered block and tackle though. Thanks for that Hartley18.
I'd save my money to upgrade to 'fiddle blocks' instead of 'double blocks' on my main sheet at 4:1 before I did anything else (if you haven't already).
This fiddle block would be undersized for your boat: http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|118|103371|311571|311611&id=129859
as would likely this double block: http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|118|103371|311570|311649&id=115792
I only use Defender to link the type of blocks because it is convenient and not because I have any affiliation with them and the pictures help describe the discussion.

BOISE -- A Romanian national who had been living in south-central Idaho will be deported for obtaining a visa by through a fraudulent marriage.
U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill sentenced 32-year-old Stefan Csaba Csep on Wednesday. Csep, who had been living in Ketchum, also was placed on probation for two years and fined $500.
Federal prosecutors say Csep entered into a fraudulent marriage with a U.S. citizen in 2005 to evade immigration laws. He pleaded guilty to the crime in January.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Csep is prohibited from entering the United States in the future.

Alec Baldwin apologizes for 'toxic little queen' comment
Actor Alec Baldwin has issued a public apology for using gay slurs in an online rant aimed at a reporter.
The star posted a foul-mouthed tirade on his Twitter.com page on Thursday over a report published by the Daily Mail that suggested his wife, Hilaria, was tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral.
Baldwin denied his partner had been tweeting from the church, and took to Twitter to blast the author of the article, George Stark, as a "toxic little queen" and a "lying little b—", adding, "I am gonna f— you up… I want all of my followers and beyond to straighten out this f— little b—."
The star has now issued an apology for any offence his language might have caused, releasing a letter to gay rights group GLAAD.
The message reads, "My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation… As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologize… I would not advocate violence against someone for being gay and I hope that my friends at GLAAD and the gay community understand that my attack on Mr. Stark in no way was the result of homophobia."
In an interview with Gothamist.com, he adds, "The idea of me calling this guy a 'queen' and that being something that people thought is homophobic…a queen to me has a different meaning. It's somebody who's just above. It doesn't have any necessarily sexual connotations. To me a queen… I know women that act queeny, I know men that are straight that act queeny, and I know gay men that act queeny. It doesn't have to be a definite sexual connotation, or a homophobic connotation. To me those are people who think the rules don't apply to them."
Alec Baldwin disables Twitter account after rant
Alec Baldwin has deleted his Twitter account following a foul-mouthed rant over allegations his pregnant wife was posting messages online during James Gandolfini's funeral on Thursday.
The couple paid their respects to "The Sopranos" star at a church in New York City, and an online report suggested Baldwin's partner Hilaria had been tweeting throughout the service.
Initially, the former "30 Rock" star brushed off the allegations by posting a simple message on the website, writing, "Someone wrote that my wife was tweeting at a funeral. Hey. That's not true. But I'm gonna tweet at your funeral."
However, he returned to Twitter later in the day to rant about the report, writing, "My wife and I attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend. … How much of this [bleep] are people supposed to take? With these f**king blatant lies every day. My wife did not use her phone, in any capacity, at our friend's funeral. Now, [bleep] this Twitter + good luck to all of you who know the truth."
Baldwin's page was then taken offline.
Hilaria attempted to explain the timing of messages, which appeared on her page on Thursday, adding, "Here is some info. … When someone tweets something at a certain time, and you retweet it later, it posts the time the first person tweeted."
Alec Baldwin's wife not happy about Cannes red carpet pick-me-up
Alec Baldwin has vowed never to sweep his wife, Hilaria, off her feet on the red carpet again after she reprimanded him for a wardrobe slip-up at Cannes.
The actor decided to pick the pregnant yoga teacher up as part of a photo opportunity for the media at the recent film festival, but Hilaria was not amused by the public display of affection.
And the 30 Rock star tells "Access Hollywood," "I will never pick my wife up again at a film festival. She had a few choice words."
During the red carpet pick-up, Hilaria flashed a little too much flesh.
Alec Baldwin's wife addresses bust-up report
Alec Baldwin's wife has taken a swipe at editors of a top New York newspaper over a report suggesting the pair was spotted arguing on the streets of the Big Apple on Friday.
The actor and his pregnant wife, Hilaria, were snapped on a stroll in Manhattan with their pet dogs and in some of the images, Baldwin appears to be gesturing angrily at his partner while standing in the middle of the sidewalk.
Reporters at the New York Daily News ran pictures of the couple alongside an article suggesting they were in the middle of a fight, but Hilaria has shot down the speculation on her Twitter.com page.
Posting a link to the story, she writes, "My husband wasn't yelling at me, he was telling me how he feels about the Daily News."

Baldwin has long had a rocky relationship with the New York press, taking aim at them last year over claims a number of photographers interrupted his then fiancee's yoga class to get a photo of her engagement ring.
He blasted the paper on Twitter.com, writing, "Shame on the no-talent trash from the Daily News for invading the privacy of 75 people in a yoga class to take a picture of someone. In NYC, it's common knowledge that the News is trying to give the (New York) Post a run for its $ in the slime dept. Clearly, they're succeeding."
Baldwin has also been embroiled in a number of run-ins with photographers from the local media, who camp out daily outside his Manhattan home in a bid to snap pictures of him with his family.
Broadway's 'Orphans' to close early
Alec Baldwin's Broadway play "Orphans" is set to close six weeks early due to slow ticket sales.
The drama, about a gangster who is taken hostage by two brothers, picked up two Tony Award nominations for Best Revival of a Play and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play (Tom Sturridge) last week, but it appears the critical acclaim was not enough to save the production, which opened at the Gerald Shoenfeld Theatre on April 18 and was expected to run until June 30.
A post on the show's Twitter on Monday reads: "@OrphansonBway will play its final performance on May 19th. That leaves only 16 more chances to see this incredible production."
Editors at The Hollywood Reporter suggest Orphans grossed less than $500,000 in the last full week of April, with Baldwin, Sturridge and their co-star Ben Foster playing to audiences 70 percent full.
The early closure news is the latest drama linked to the production – Shia LaBeouf was fired from the play after clashing with Baldwin during rehearsals. He was replaced by Foster.
Alec Baldwin's daughter: 'I want to move on from voicemail scandal'
Alec Baldwin's teenage daughter Ireland has defended her decision to follow her parents into the spotlight, insisting she doesn't want to be remembered for her father's infamous voicemail scandal.
Ireland Baldwin, whose mother is actress Kim Basinger, was just 11 years old when she was caught up in a headline-grabbing incident in 2007 when her famous father branded her a "rude thoughtless little pig" in a leaked voicemail message.
The actor subsequently admitted he contemplated suicide after the scandal, and now Ireland, 17, has spoken out to declare she wants her newly launched modeling career to mark a fresh start.
In an open letter posted on her blog, she writes, "I get hateful replies and threats regarding mistakes of my Dad's past. This isn't fair. I had nothing to do with anything that happened back then, so I don't fully understand why I am being targeted. More importantly, my Dad has moved on. He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can't you?…
"I am not seeking fame by association. … I am proud to be my parent's daughter, but I don't want to forever be known as 'that rude thoughtless little pig' or 'Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's kid.' I have passions and interests of my own that I want to soon give life to."
Ireland also reveals she has received a barrage of criticism since stepping into the spotlight, and urges her detractors not to be so nasty.
She adds, "I get those comments about how I am too fat to model, how I am not model material, how I am an unattractive girl. … I don't look as glamorous as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley… What is the good in commenting on a photo of a 17-year-old girl and calling her fat, ugly, etc? … Putting that out there is hateful and unhealthy. If you don't have a complimentary thing to say about someone, keep it to yourself."
Alec Baldwin in talks to host late night show
Actor Alec Baldwin is in talks to host his own late-night TV talk show, according to reports.
The "30 Rock" star has been approached by bosses at TV network NBC to front a new interview-focused series.
An insider tells EOnline.com that there "have been conversations" between Baldwin and NBC executives but "nothing close" to a deal is on the table just yet.
The source explains, "People have been impressed with his radio podcast series and have thought about him for these opportunities."
Baldwin, host of the popular Here's the Thing podcast for New York's WNYC radio, is rumored to be lining up to take over the late-night slot currently hosted by Carson Daly.
Alec Baldwin snapped using cell phone while cycling
Alec Baldwin has been caught on camera disregarding safety regulations by cycling around New York City chatting on his cell phone and without wearing a helmet.
The former "30 Rock" star was pictured riding through Manhattan's West Village on Monday without proper safety gear, and he was also shown with his phone clamped to his ear while cycling.
The actor took the bike ride after working out at a local gym.
Shia LaBeouf attends Alec Baldwin play preview
Shia LaBeouf put a feud with his former theatre co-star Alec Baldwin behind him by attending the first preview performance of the play they were due to appear in together.
The "Transformers" actor dropped out of Broadway play "Orphans" in February, and he subsequently went public with email correspondence between the "30 Rock" star, director Daniel Sullivan and playwright Lyle Kessler in a bid to explain his sudden decision to leave the production.
The move appeared to infuriate Baldwin, who seemingly suggested LaBeouf is not cut out for theatre work during a recent interview.
However, LaBeouf, who was replaced by "3:10 to Yuma" actor Ben Foster in the show, appeared to prove the feud is over by attending the first preview of the play at Manhattan's Schoenfeld Theatre.
The actor sat in the first row for last Tuesday's performance and was seen giving the cast a standing ovation at the end of the play.
Orphans will officially open on April 18.
Alec Baldwin's wife expecting a girl
Alec Baldwin's pregnant wife has announced she is expecting a baby girl.
Hilaria Thomas Baldwin confirmed the happy news she is carrying a daughter during an appearance on "Extra" on Thursday.
The yoga instructor said, "Alec and I are overjoyed that we are going to be welcoming a little girl into our lives."
The little girl will be Hilaria's first child and Baldwin's second – he already has a 17-year-old daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
