I have a theory about Booker T. Washington. He is most often remembered as an orator, educator, or sellout, but what no one appreciates about Washington is that he distinguished the two models of education–signalling and human capital formation–well before there existed the intellectual vocabulary to express his opinions succinctly. Like Bryan Caplan today, it's clear he thought the former was privately beneficial but socially useless.
During the whole of the Reconstruction period two ideas were constantly agitating the minds of the coloured people, or, at least, the minds of a large part of the race. One of these was the craze for Greek and Latin learning…The idea, however, was too prevalent that, as soon as one secured a little education, in some unexplainable way he would be free from most of the hardships of the world, and, at any rate, could live without manual labour. There was a further feeling that a knowledge, however little, of the Greek and Latin languages would make one a very superior human being, something bordering almost on the supernatural.
Above Washington is speaking to a general delusion more than the signalling model, but he later lays into a school (I assume Howard) that stressed the liberal arts.
At this school I found the students, in most cases, had more money, were better dressed, wore the latest style of all manner of clothing, and in some cases were more brilliant mentally. They knew more about Latin and Greek when they left school, but they seemed to know less about life and its conditions as they would meet it at their homes. Having lived for a number of years in the midst of comfortable surroundings, they were not as much inclined as the Hampton students to go into the country districts of the South, where there was little of comfort, to take up work for our people, and they were more inclined to yield to the temptation to become hotel waiters and Pullman-car porters as their life-work.
This goes on throughout Washington's writing. He was a workaholic singularly obsessed with one idea: that a human could become more productive by learning a trade. Political office, literature, artistic praise, theoretical science…they all seemed totally frivolous. Consider his opinion of fiction:
Newspapers are to me a constant source of delight and recreation. The only trouble is that I read too many of them. Fiction I care little for. Frequently I have to almost force myself to read a novel that is on every one's lips. The kind of reading that I have the greatest fondness for is biography. I like to be sure that I am reading about a real man or a real thing. I think I do not go too far when I say that I have read nearly every book and magazine article that has been written about Abraham Lincoln. In literature he is my patron saint.
He is famous for saying, "The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera house." Of course, this says something about his character, but critics have underrated what it says about his tastes. He didn't care about opera.
Why was Booker T. so obsessed with industrial education, but later Black intellectuals mostly ignored or even despised the idea? Because Booker T. lived in what you might call a great Age of Trades. The turn of the century was a time when theory and toolmaking had so far outpaced practice that there were free lunches for the common man around every corner, if he could only acquire a little training.
For example, Washington funded Tuskegee at the start by building a big brick furnace and selling the bricks. It says something about the state of the brick industry that an amateur could read how to start a furnace, build one with unpaid student labor, and still turn a profit. George Washington Carver is famous as a scientist, but his most important role was as an advocate for all kinds of fairly straightforward farm improvements. Small farmers were running their farms in demonstrably inferior ways…exhausting their soil, ignoring nutrient and pest technologies, neglecting changes in supply and demand, toiling in the same monoculture traditions. By teaching them something, even without changing their social status, one could massively improve their well-being and contribution to society.
How is this relevant today? For the past 8 months I've spent all of my time learning computer programming, and I'm convinced that, in the Bay Area and a few other places, we are again experiencing an Age of Trades akin to the Turn of the Century when Washington's ideas abounded.
I first started to realize something big was happening when my college roommate, with no prior knowledge of coding, started teaching himself and, within a year, had a near 6-figure job at the New York Times. Meanwhile, my friends in law school were despairing, my friends in journalism were despaired, and my own field, academia, certainly looked ripe for some kind of despair wave in the near future.
Moreover, just as in Washington's era, the skills in demand are also easy to learn. I have taught myself programming to the point that I get job offers in my LinkedIn inbox randomly, merely through websites like CodeAcademy, EdX, and Udacity. It turns out one of the things that programmers take the most pleasure in is making free tutorials and applications like Sublime Text plugins that make programming absurdly straightforward. My roommate, who is a great coder, once watched me finish off a Code Academy course and said, "It makes me jealous that it took me months of excruciating copying from a Dummies book to learn what you have in a week." It's taken a lot of time that I'd rather spend blogging or researching, but by Christmas (the end of the year I decided to dedicate to learning to code), I am going to be a rare expert at combining the d3.js data visualization framework with the AngularJS app framework. That's not really a claim about my abilities…it's a claim about how many free lunches are sitting around.
To prove my point, Here is a list of "Hacker Schools" or "Bootcamps," which provide modern-day industrial educations. My roommate is a teacher at one of these, and they are amazing. Generally you pay about $15-20k, take 8-15 weeks of all-day programming courses, and wind up with a $65k-95k/year job. The placement rates are over 95%, and many schools won't charge you if you don't get a job. San Francisco is the only place I've ever been where billboards and taxi placards advertise places to work rather than things to buy, and many of the programmer meetups here in the Bay are infiltrated by undercover recruiters, who earn $10k bounties for placing engineers with tech firms.
The pay is great, and you get to take pride in your work…building companies like SpoonRocket, which provides $6 gourmet meals with 5 minute delivery times. This summer I interned in an incubator for Berkeley startups, and it's just like Tuskegee's brick furnace: a lot of people with minimal special training are turning big profits.
Contrast tech with careers on Wall Street, where generations of technical and management talent have been squandered on zero-sum (perhaps negative sum?) competitions like high frequency trading or, worse, exploited humans' naturally poor understanding of causation to delude investors into financial "products" that add no value beyond rationalizing randomness (see Kahneman on the Illusion of Skill), or even worse, given credulous people and governments the confidence to make truly awful choices that their untutored common sense would have precluded (see the story of how my home county Fell Off the Bankruptcy Cliff with help from middling bankers). The medical industry is just as bad, if not worse, than Wall Street when it comes to selling people things they don't want at undisclosed prices (see TAL's More Is Less) and using a cartel to stifle competition (see Bryan Caplan on men's seeming retreat from the profession). Law is most obviously zero-sum or even negative sum given the prospects of new, debt-laden law grads.
On the ground, I see the Age of Trades cultivating mildly conservative values. People in SF look much less to Washington or even Sacramento when it comes to solving social problems. The impulse here is to start a business more than change a law. There is not much respect for the signals given by large institutions: Google is hiring more programmers without degrees even as the older parts of the economy move in the opposite direction.
It's possible to exaggerate the era. It's an exciting time to be a young person with free time and innate math skills in a major metro, just as Washington's Age of Trades was really only good to able-bodied young men with free time in underindustrialized areas. Eventually the low-hanging fruit will all be eaten, the coming wave of great coders will drive down wages, and unless something is done soon the profits will all flow to patent holders who preside like feudal baron's over swaths of the industry or firms will move to small countries that neglect patent law. But it's awesome nonetheless, while it lasts.

It's silly how news compares entities without any weighting system for population. For example, Scott Sumner says that the most important news story of 2013 is China's pro-market reform. With China this is somewhat excusable as their language and culture are vastly different, but India is a Commonwealth country where everything is printed in English and run along more-or-less democratic lines.
Today I found out that government subsidy of diesel fuel (~$0.15/litre subsidy on diesel vs. ~$0.25/litre excise tax on gasoline) has helped to raise the diesel share of new auto sales in India from 17% to 40% (!). India has lower particulate standards than the US or Europe, and its people often live in surrounded by heavy gridlock. It's a disaster for public health and a small win for fuel economy, since diesel gets about 15% more miles per gallon than gasoline on equivalent vehicles. Here are some interesting links: Centre for Science and the Environment, International Council for Clean Transportation, University of Maryland (this last link indicates a market share of just 32%…not sure what the stats are specifically.)
This also brings home another point: the really big social gains lay in policy changes that experts all agree about. America subsidizes corn syrup and wheat amid an obesity epidemic brought on by processed carbohydrates that our bodies never evolved to metabolize. Zoning makes nice places with good income mobility absurdly expensive. Streetcars are less cost-effective than buses.
The forefront of research is often about optimizing. If you're a discrete choice modeler, you might build your career on refining methods that would predict ridership on a streetcar or the elasticity of diesel demand. But I believe your real function in society is to continually be there, in case anyone asks, to make it clear that certain policies are unarguably stupid…that fewer people will ride the streetcar than buses of equivalent cost while any economic development gains in its area are just relocated from nearby neighborhoods…that however much demand will change in response to a subsidy cut it is simply absurd to spend money on diesel in a country where many of the poor are functional illiterate or vulnerable to gang rape.
In all the important cases, experts typically use reasoning far simpler than what they spend their professional lives working on, but the conclusions are still counter-intuitive to a busy voter. There should be more of an effort to produce interesting policy briefs and educational materials for public consumption wherever there is total consensus. To date, the think tank system has failed in this capacity, with the exception maybe of the Reason Foundation's efforts. Their work has largely served to spark conversations among people in the halls of power…not to change the intuitions of lay people. Given the fury of the lobbying industry, it might not make any difference to actually convince politicos what is a good idea and what isn't, and I hope that more think tanks start to focus on convincing the everyman.

Paul Krugman has a post on Pittsburgh, where I once lived for six years and hope to live again:
It's hard to avoid the sense that greater Pittsburgh, by taking better care of its core, also improved its ability to adapt to changing circumstances. In that sense, Detroit's disaster isn't just about industrial decline; it's about urban decline, which isn't the same thing. If you like, sprawl killed Detroit, by depriving it of the kind of environment that could incubate new sources of prosperity.
Pittsburghers love this type of comparison. Pittsburgh really is pretty miraculous, but I cringe when people compare Pittsburgh to Detroit, and I want to hide under a blanket from shame when someone says that (insert cause here) is the big difference between the two cities.
Why? Most bluntly, Krugman is doing n=2 econometrics.
More subtly, imagine a world in which crime explained 100% of Detroit's decline–where sprawl did not prevent job growth or new industries from forming…only an endless crime wave. (Note: I am not saying we live in that world at all.) We would observe a reality very similar to the current one: lots of sprawl as residents made a run for it. Would econometricians in that world be able to tell that 100% of the decline was caused by crime? They would have a very hard time not overestimating the effect of sprawl, especially since, due to aesthetic reasons and sheer logic, it strikes me as very intuitive that sprawl would prevent job growth.
And if you want to delve into some of the more mathletic realms of urban research, perhaps cities possess some features of complex systems with non-linear dynamics. In this case, the whole idea of identifiable causation becomes kind of murky. Even if there were no large social changes at all, we would see cities rise and fall over the course of decades because of a scandal at one high school or a single salient serial killer. I've read about climate models that predict stability for eons (absent humans influence) and then sudden ice ages…even without biological or solar reasons for climate change.
Finally, because we treat cities as chunked cognitive units, we overcompare them as such. The demographics of Detroit are similar to those of Pittsburgh's ghettos, but no one ever asks, "Why is California-Kirkbride growing so much more slowly than the rest of Pittsburgh?" or "Did sprawl kill The Hill District?"
I will stick my neck out to speculate a little, though:
(a) Pittsburgh has an enormous number of universities and is very dense. The steelpocalypse meant working class people left and were replaced by a large student population. The cohort effect left Pittsburgh an extremely cheap, well-connected city (empty houses everywhere) that's easy to get around ans has relatively little crime or corruption and high education. Note I agree that density was important; it's just that I'm not so sure. Maybe it's just the universities.
(b) Pittsburghers are obsessed with saving Pittsburgh and strangely insulated from the rest of the world. The only city I have seen with a comparable level of boosterism and local culture is New Orleans. Even among Pittsburghers, Pittsburgh is a perennial topic of discussion…like fish talking about water. It's understandable, to some degree: the city is outstanding among US cities in its geography and architecture. But there's a thick accent, endless inside jokes, and a general feeling that literally everyone plays for the Steelers. For example, here is a site called Leaving Pittsburgh. Here is a popular web series called Pittsburgh Dad that skewers working class whites from Pittsburgh, called 'yinzers':

In A Denser San Francisco, Reihan Salam notes the Bay's paradox:
Despite San Francisco's reputation as a hotbed of progressivism, the city is in many respects very "conservative," which is to say resistant to change. Many San Franciscans are adamant that the look of the city remains frozen in its midcentury state.
I used to think this was a paradox, too, until my experience at a Berkeley City Council meeting. I now believe that California is not especially resistant to change, but rather that we're seeing the tragedy of the commons that results when unified housing market is divided into dozens of cities. In short: when each city constitutes a tiny fraction of the habitable part of the metro area, no city can individually change housing prices much by allowing more development, but it can control the crowding within its borders.
Last Tuesday night I attended a meeting of the Berkeley city council to voice my support for a new apartment building in my neighborhood. Everyone should speak at a city council meeting at least once in his or her life. It's like grad school: you accomplish nothing, but you learn a lot.
The issue: A developer received a variance to build a 6-story apartment building, intended to house about 200 students, next to a 6-story affordable housing complex for senior citizens. The seniors have successfully pushed for a very large setback to protect their sunlight but still oppose the final draft of the building, because they worried the students will be noisy, and because the building will still block direct sunlight to a handful of units in the early morning.
Prospect theory is true: it is losses and gains, not levels, that matter for decision-making. The seniors, and even council members, were so worried about the loss of a few hours of direct sunlight that one council member, a strong-looking man, was moved to tears. He printed out a study from Warwick University saying that seniors need sunlight in order to prevent depression and keep their bones strong; that their lives were at stake; that we were throwing them under the bus by not giving them the sunlight they needed. However, no one wondered how seniors survive in the 90% of America with less sunlight than Berkeley, California. If a few hours of morning sunlight in Berkeley declares the margin of habitability, thousand-mile swaths of the Midwest and Appalachians would be a holocaust of the elderly…depressed seniors leaping from bridges in Pittsburgh every day. To say nothing of central and eastern Europe.
My talk: I was the only one to voice support for the building besides the developer himself and a lady from a business coalition. I stood up and said: "What you see is this big building crowding up my neighborhood, and it's not affordable housing. What you don't see is that 200 people housed in this building means 200 fewer people competing with the rest of us in the rental market, and I can't afford to outbid a programmer for my apartment. Berkeley should prioritize affordability over sunlight and parking."
My revelation: As soon as I said this, I realized it wasn't true in any practical sense. There are around 8 million people in the Bay Area and only 113,000 in Berkeley. Moreover, there are millions of people who'd love to live in the Bay but can't at current prices. Therefore, Berkeley's housing demand curve is horizontal. The Bay's demand curve is steeper, of course, but here's the proposition for Berkeley's residents: "Please quadruple your population to make the greater Bay Area 5% cheaper." We don't have to think of Berkeley as extraordinarily reactionary if they decline this sacrifice. Moreover, even if we accept that Berkeleyans are altruistic, we have to posit they are also attentive to small-but-widely-dispersed welfare gains…something that any behavioral economist would laugh at.
Plan Bay Area: This dovetails with something that might seem strange in other parts of the country: Plan Bay Area. The plan designates specific quantities and types of housing to be built over the next few decades in every community in the Bay. That might seem like Hayek's worst nightmare, until you see it for what it is: coordinated deregulation, similar to the World Trade Organization. The allocations are actually pushing against the upper bound in every place, so an infinite allocation would be the lack of planning. It's a domain where the traditional signs of government itnervention are reversed.
You can see this in the propaganda from opponents of Plan Bay Area. In the following animation, opponents are lampooning the social engineers who want to turn the Bay into a Smart Growth utopia. But what you see is that the makers have their own social agenda of a Bay filled with single-family houses.
Solutions: Maybe the best dollar-for-dollar policy initiative of our time was Race to the Top. For $5 billion, the Obama administration bribed hundreds of thousands of charter-school students into existence. Race to the Top gave a lot of firepower to charter school proponents, allowing them to accuse teachers of turning down money for students…reversing the normal debate in which charter schools are accused of sapping money from traditional public schools.
The best way to deregulate cities would be to bribe key constituencies in a way that gives easy fodder for debate. I propose the following: California should triple the solar tax credit for seniors in communities that substantially ease zoning regulations. Any deregulation policy has to neutralize the most ardent opponents of development: seniors and environmentalists. This one would not funnel money through bureaucrats and would show up in anyone's pocketbook as soon as they asked for the solar panels.
In the long-run, there should be a legal precedent for what counts as immigration policy. When cities block development so much that rents rise substantially above the marginal cost of a square foot of housing, we can say that the city is conducting immigration policy through the backdoor, and municipalities should not be constitutionally allowed to restrict the size of their legal resident populations. Such a precedent would be self-enforcing in California, because municipalities would be eager to sue one another to sop up extra residents at the city gates.

I made this visual explanation of fat-tailed phenomena in d3.js…

Dr. Eric Rasumsen at U. of Indiana has a great informal paper: How Immigration Can Hurt a Country. To me this work is what makes me optimistic about academia in the Internet age: professors can ship product directly once they get tenure and still create quite a buzz. Also, because informal publication does not have to especially impress anyone with math gymnastics, they can crank fairly simple models in response to current events.
Rasumen's point is neat: if there are disconomies of scale in major industries, then doubling labor will not double output. Since immigrants (under doubling) would receive half of labor's share of income, the sum of domestic labor and capital profits together will be less than without immigration.
I don't think it's relevant. How many industries have diseconomies? Anyway, I think it clouds the water on thinking about immigration. What we should really do is make some back-of-the-envelope calculations about the real goods and services that immigrants will demand, then check if they're constrained. My hypothesis is that all of the most expensive things that immigrants need are only expensive because of our own bad policy choices, while some of the expensive things immigrants need are precisely those things which Hispanics (who make up the vast majority of the coming legal resident wave) have proven themselves to have a comparative advantage at producing.
Housing: Nearly all of America is empty, and one thing Hispanics certainly know how to do is build houses. Thus we have all the land and labor we need to supply the immigrants with decent housing. Housing is really expensive, of course, but that's only because cities and counties don't allow tall apartment buildings or development in greenbelts. Here, the argument that immigrants will take the housing stock is really only true if Americans, on their own, decide that aesthetics is more important than affordability.
Of course, cities will not sufficiently deregulate on their own, but if we had a Race to the Top-style initiative that bribed well-organized local constituencies (tax credits for union-built solar panels in cities that deregulate) we could easily build another million dwelling units per year.
Food: Food, like housing, is an arena where Hispanics far surpass domestic labor on a per-hour basis. Food is also extremely cheap, and healthy foods could be cheaper if the government didn't pay farmers to waste so much land on starches, cotton and other crops not profit-making at market-decided margins.
Infrastructure: All problems of congestion could be solved by pricing and might anyway be solved in the long run by autonomous vehicles. Since immigrants will earn less than domestics, they would not outcompete us in the congestion pricing market.
Health care: This is where there is most cause for concern, especially given that Mexico is one of the most obese countries in the world (although not as obese as America) and smoking rates among Latin Americans are much higher than among North Americans. But consider: the most expensive health care we provide right now is based on magical thinking, bad statistics, the desire to show we care about family members, and false advertising by drug companies. This is not my conspiracy theory but rather the result of lots of medical economics research. Whether our government buys the immigrants useless surgeries and drugs is a policy decision domestics will make. It doesn't make sense to talk about transfers in this arena as though they're an inevitable consequence of immigration when the true problem is that we haven't embraced realities about medical efficacy.
Moreover, the constrained supply of doctor hours is a problem of our own choosing. Medical schools have not been graduating enough pupils even as our population rises. There are also many pointless licensing and doctor-enriching regulations, like the ban on unlicensed tooth whitening and barriers to medical outsourcing, that keep us from enjoying factory economies in health care and fill up doctor's schedules with tasks either nurses or doctors in foreign countries could do. This hero in India is building enormous, factory-style hospitals that do a fine and safe job, but they're not allowed here because they don't make the doctors feel autonomous like Dr. House. I'm taking the radical stance that policy should not hinge on whether a profession feels good about itself.
Education: Immigrants do use up a lot of education resources and tend to have worse results even after several generations. This is a strong point against my argument.
In summary: Immigrants might make domestic Americans worse off, but it's primarily because policy will not free up the resources needed to sustain the immigrants and domestics together. With targeted deregulation, the main thing Americans stand to lose from immigration is quaintness.

Tesla Motors is trying to sell cars directly to customers in its own stores and online, much the way Apple does. Unfortunately, states have laws designed to increase the profits of dealers at the expense of customers. Interestingly, Tesla is having the most trouble in blood red Republican states (WSJ India ungated link)
Some states, like North Carolina and Texas, require manufacturers use independent dealers. In some states, including North Carolina, dealers are pushing lawmakers to strengthen prohibitions against any form of direct-to-consumer selling by auto makers.
North Carolina is a state with a Republican governor, house and senate. The situation in Texas is the same. Because there are no Democrats of power in these states, these moves counts as a more-or-less pure "revealed preference" experiment. We can use the revealed preferences to make inferences about the party's "latent class" of ideology, and the Republican Party actions are most probable if we condition our expectations on the party being a social justice movement for highly-taxed business owner. Sometimes they will support deregulation, as with environmental and labor standards, but they are not especially interested in delicensing professions, reducing protectionism or making it easier to build housing in nice areas…because deregulation is merely a means to the end of unburdening a certain type of person. I can't find the link off the cuff, but I remember also reading research to the effect that many Tea Party members are also enthusiastic supporters of Social Security and Medicare, and their biggest gripes are with the idea that people who don't work might get benefits.
Likewise, in my home state of Alabama, which is also Republican-controlled, the Supreme Court has made it illegal to put tooth whitener on another person unless you're a licensed dentist (link):
In 2009, the State Supreme Court ruled that a dental service is any "helpful act or useful labor of or relating to the teeth," and by this rather basic definition, teeth whitening is dentistry. Soon after, the Legislature passed explicit language to that effect. A nondentist administering teeth whitening could now face a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Meanwhile, the deregulatory legislation allowing Texans to buy from Tesla was authored by a Democrat, and the journalist notes Tesla has fared better in bluer states:
Franchise laws don't apply to Tesla, Mr. Musk has said, because the company has never had franchised dealers. This argument has been a winner for Tesla in court skirmishes with dealers in New York and Massachusetts.
I don't know what this says about Democratic places. Perhaps nothing.

A few weeks ago I wrote that China's urbaniztion policy was driven by the state's desire to make households less self-sufficient, to get people trading their labor for goods and services, because the state reaps a share of formal transactions but not household production. I noted this answer was more likely than Dr. Karl Smith's theory, which was that policy targeted the productivity gains of agglomeration (job matching, idea flow), because it did not require much high-level understanding on the part of bureaucrats and served the state's interests.
Consider a household with a husband farmer and housewife in a rural area. The housewife turns some of the farm's output into three meals per day and cares for their child. Now suppose the couple moves into the city, where the husband earns a wage equivalent to his farm output. The wife gets a full-time job and uses her earnings to buy three meals per day and to put the kid in daycare. Now the couple is about as [materially] well off as before, but the household's GDP has risen enormously…
The wife's move from household to market production has afforded the state an opportunity to claim some cut of the family's consumption. She works and spends, and the government may tax her paycheck, employer's profits, and purchases. If the family is taxed exactly the average rate of all Chinese households, government revenues as a share of GDP is flat. But state revenues have expanded in absolute terms.
It turns out I was right. China has announced they want to move 250 million peasants into cities. Why?
Chinese economists say that the cost does not have to be completely borne by the government — because once farmers start working in city jobs, they will start paying taxes and contributing to social welfare programs.
"Urbanization can launch a process of value creation," said Xiang Songzuo, chief economist with the Agricultural Bank of China and a deputy director of the International Monetary Institute at Renmin University. "It should start a huge flow of revenues."

Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro comparison: Here are the extra features you get in the Pro version
can't install ??
downloaded virtualbox and W8 iso 64bit I have burned it onto a DVD installing was going ok until I got an error message saying something about having to switch on the guest VBM in the bios ...... now i am lost I can't even find out how to get in the bios but will keep trying but if someone can help me through this step I would be greatful.....I am fairly au fait doing most things but some still baffle me
As the post running at present " fails to install". which method did you attemp to install, Clean or Upgrade,
Where do you intend to install and run from , spare Partion, spare HD, or VD
Hi I downloaded oracle VirtualBox program and I am trying to load W8 it into that from a DVD which I burned an iso copy from microsoft website...... AS I said i can load the program until the message about allowing a guest VBM in the bios but not sure how to do this, so just looking for some assistance.
Wish you luck . I have never used the VD method myself. I had ample space on my drive, and made a new partion soley for Win 8, A clean install to that partion was easy,giving duel boot. and removing was also easy leaving my system problem free
ok thanks does it automatically install duel boot
Yes Duel Boot is automatically installed, this will then be displayed on startup with the option to choose which version to boot From.
Myself I choose Win 7 defaut will more likely be Win 8
You can also alter the timer which allows the time between startup and default auto selection
Removal of win 8 is easy just Format the partion http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/29/windows-8/4094150/uninstall-win-8-dp/
Tried to load W8 onto a separate partition ( its a slow download for me 5+ hours) but it seem to go ok but when I tried to install it all seemed to go fine when I got a message it could not install, so a lot of wasted time so I give up and will wait for its proper release maybe, but I get the feeling its just geared to touch screen so I suppose I might as well stay with W7. But thanks for all your help.......................
You have alreaady stated you have burned Win 8 to a Dvd. It is not needed to Download again to the new partion you have made only to install it, this should not take 5 Hours. To install Win 8 boot your computer with the Win 8 Dvd in the drive.
Watch for the option and select boot from DVD
When the drivers have loaded select the option for clean install and allow it to start
You will then get the option to select the drive you wish to install to, select the new partion you have created.
I have used this method several times and installation has not taken that long
Are you sure your system is able to Run Win 8 which actually requirements are almost the same as Win 7
yes my system is compatible as I ran the microsoft test and I think the image I burned got corrupted somehow and when I tried to do another copy from the download it would not let me as it kept telling me my dvd needed a driver but it does work properly but I did a complete check on it to make sure it was working correctly. So I am so confused I think I will give it a rest and maybe try again another day.
It may well be a fauly DVD rather than the file you downloaded.Try running Checkk disc the the file option ticked.This may well then allow you to burn another DVD, Saving you the time involved in downloading the Image again
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

Arkhipov's Laboratory
- Handmade headphone amplifiers & DACs -
Russian version
Archive Models
Photo album
The Arkhipov's Laboratory offers a line of exclusive, hand assembled headphone amplifiers - with a choice of valve (tube), solid-state and hybrid configurations. Our design philosophy is aimed at achieving superlative audio performance at the power levels needed by high quality headphones.
All our valve (tube) amplifiers use proven, classical circuit topology based on triodes or pentodes as well as combinations of both. Output transformers are hand wound and designed individually for each unit. This results in a brilliantly light, lively and open sounding amplifier having excellent dynamic range suitable for reproduction of all types of music - from the lightest instrumental and vocals to hard driving rock, electronic or jazz.
The transistor and hybrid models are designed and made with the same perfectionist approach as our all-valve (tube) units.
The proof of our designs lies in the very low level of listener fatigue - even after extended periods of listening.
Arkhipov amplifiers cater for a wide range of headphone impedances from 20 to 600 Ohms. Some models accept loads down to 8 Ohms. Each unit has dual outputs using two standard 1/4" (6.35mm) jacks.
Signal source for our amplifiers is line-level of 250mV rms or higher, from CD players, phono preamps, computer sound cards etc.
An additional & very useful application is as a high-performance buffer-amplifier between a signal source & consumer-grade power amplifier driving speakers. You will be pleasantly surprised by the improvement in sonic quality that is possible with such a configuration.
The designer and constructor of these high grade amplifiers, Alexandr Arkhipov, is a highly qualified electronics engineer with decades of professional design experience in this field. His expertise guarantees first-class quality and finish of all his products.
Arkhipov amplifiers are constructed by hand in laboratory conditions. Metal chassis parts are professionally fabricated with a high-grade black powder-coat finish. The timber plinths are entirely made from solid timber with a choice of oak, cherry, plum or other quality woods. All timber parts are coated with a hard-wearing, satin lacquer finish.
Wiring is point-to-point with teflon insulation used exclusively and all components are of the highest quality. Each unit is subject to rigorous inspection & testing during each stage of construction, and additionally, undergoes a week-long proving cycle including burn-in, performance & listening tests.
Not all versions of the Akhipov range are shown on this site, because the designs are subject to constant upgrading & improvement as well as often being custom-made to order. But all our amps carry a
lifetime warranty
(with the exception of valves (tubes).

Nairobi — Kenya's shilling eased on Monday, in a session dominated by interbank trading, and traders expected it to lose more ground after the horticulture sector was hit by flight cancellations to Europe.
At 0806 GMT, commercial banks quoted the local currency at Sh77.50/60 to the dollar, compared with Friday's close of Sh77.30/40.
"Because of the Iceland problems, we are not able to export, so most probably we will see the dollar going higher, the shilling losing," said Kalpesh Solanki, a trader at Ecobank.
Traders said they saw the shilling losing more ground due to the effects from a vast cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano that has crippled air transport in northern Europe.
Kenya's horticulture industry, a leading foreign exchange earner, has been hit due to grounding of several flights from Nairobi to London and Amsterdam.
An association of flower exporters said last week they were losing up to $2 million a day in earnings due to the cancellations.
Traders said they expect the shilling to trade in the Sh77.20-77.80 range in the days ahead while charts pointed to resistance at Sh77.65 and Sh77.75.
"It is not all over for shilling bears, with the home unit likely to continue trading on the back foot on account of reduced foreign currency inflows if the ban on global air travel is extended," Commercial Bank of Africa said in a market report.

Thousands of Egyptians defied their government to join protests Tuesday. Police fired teargas and attacked protesters, demonstrators told RFI of being beaten by police.
"The security forces have been beating the protesters. I myself I've been beaten up," says protester Mohamed Hamama, whose hand was injured by police in Mansoura city.
"People are trying to get through the cordons," he adds. "We don't know what's next. The security forces are very aggressive against us, some people have been arrested."
He estimates there are at least 15,000 protesters in Mansoura, which is some 100 kilometres north of the capital Cairo.
In Cairo, there are protesters of all ages, according to protester Mohammed Rahhal.
"We know that what's happening is wrong and we're asking for the end of the actions of the regime and of the brutality of the emergency laws," Rahhal told RFI. "A lot of people are on their first demonstration, which is really, really heart-warming."
Inspired by the example of Tunisian uprising, they chanted lines from Tunisian poet Abul Qassem Al-Shabi: "If, one day, a people desires to live, then fate will answer their call.
"And their night will then begin to fade, and their chains break and fall."
In Cairo, demonstrators marched towards the central Tahrir Square and down the Corniche, chanting "Down with Mubarak". President Hosni Mubarak has been in power for three decades.
Some 20,000 to 30,000 police are deployed in the capital Cairo, as protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court with large signs that read "Tunisia is the solution".
People are calling for Mubarak to leave the country, for freedom, social justice, an end to corruption and better salaries.
"At the beginning it was relatively under control and the police didn't intervene," says correspondent Alexandre Buccianti. "And then when the number had grown the police intervened with water canons and tear gas. People are still chanting and the police are firing tear gas."
The Interior Ministry has warned that it would deal "firmly" with all those who behave illegally.
The protest was organised on Facebook by groups of mainly young people, Buccianti adds. By Monday, almost 100,000 people had said they would join the protests. Opposition party the Muslim Brotherhood endorsed the protests, but the main group behind the demonstrations is Kefaya, the Egyptian Movement for Change.
"Today the words you could hear most were 'Mubarak Out', even in English," says Buccianti. "I even saw some Tunisian flags and the Egyptians are hoping to do what Tunisia managed to do."
Mohamed Hamama in Mansoura agrees:
"Tens of thousands of protesters are streaming down the street, chanting against Hosni Mubarak, chanting against the corruption," he says.
"They are living so miserably, their salaries are very far below the poverty line. The Tunisian example has proved that people in the streets can change the system and change the regime. "

Potted Plants, The Weekend, And AllergiesMarch 23rd, 2012 at 8:48 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
Plenty to talk about in the weather blog today. I've got a few things to share with you. First off….Lots of folks have been asking me if they can put out their potted plants. It is about that time of year. The average last freeze for our region is from March 20th through April 1st.
Notice that James City County up into the Middle Peninsula, and Northern Neck have a later date as they are farther north or inland. It has been such a warm Winter that I think most folks will be safe. I doubt we'll see another freeze. However, it is still possible to see a light frost yet. This could happen up until the first week of April. So if you have some very fragile plants, then you should probably hold off until then. Overall though I think we'll be ok.
Now on to the forecast. Today high pressure will build in a little stronger. We'll have some upper level ridging in the jetstream along with slightly drier air moving into the region. So expect fair skies today with only a stray shower or storm possible. It will really warm up. Highs will be in the low/mid 80s. Even in the metro. Today's record high is 90 set back in 1907 when I guess a strong heat wave occurred according to the National Weather Service. The average high is 60 degrees.
The line of showers and storms along the Mississippi River Valley will stay west today. It will move east tomorrow out ahead of the cold front and an upper level low. Tomorrow the models show a fairly quiet morning with only a few isolated showers. Rain chances will increase into the afternoon with strong storms moving in during the day.
Up until yesterday it looked like the rain would be almost non-stop from Saturday afternoon through Sunday night. Now it looks like there will be periods of showers and storms with some breaks expected both Saturday and Sunday morning. At least that's how it looks at this time. Stay tuned for tweaks and updates. The showers will continue into Early Monday. Temperatures will still be warm tomorrow ( upper 70s) with southerly flow, but the temperatures will cool a bit (low 70s) on Sunday. Highs will then be in the low/mid 60s Monday and Tuesday. I like the warm temperatures, but it's a little early to see several days in a row of 80s.
Finally, I thought I'd throw in my annual "Tips To Beat Allergies" blog. I along with many others, I suffer from seasonal allergies. So here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. You can stay indoors and close the windows, but some houses have been heating up lately. You may actually need to run your air conditioner. It is good to run your A.C. because it has a filter. There are different types of filters that you can purchase to take out more and more particles out of the air. If you don't need the cool air, then you can run your fan on the A.C. unit. It will still filter the indoor air. You can also purchase an air filter unit. Some folks have had luck with this, but I have not. They range in price, but I'd check out the reviews on the product before buying.
2. Wash your bedding and your clothing often. Even if you keep your house closed up, you will still get pollen in your house. It will also get on your clothing while outside. so wash your items accordingly.
3. Clean your house. It's good to vacuum and dust your home often. The pollen will settle on all of your surfaces along with dust. This can easily get kicked up and get into the air. So clean, clean, clean. You can sweep your sidewalk. Even wash it. But the pollen will return in a short period of time. So your efforts may be futile.
4. There are many medications to take for allergies. Many of them are now over the counter. They range from antihistamine eye drops all the way to allergy shots from the doctor. Be careful though. Some of those medications can make you very drousy. If you will be driving then you should wait to try a new medication.
5. Some foods can also mimic allergens. Some fruits, cheeses, and even teas can worsen allergy symptoms. Even if you aren't allergic to the food, some of them can promote histamines. Here is an article with more details: Allergies/foods.
6. If your symptoms are bad and prolonged, then you should see a doctor. You can get tested to see what you are allergic to. However, you will likely have to get many little shots/pin pricks for the test. I got it done. Not super painful, but definitely not comfortable. It was good to know what I am really allergic to.
7. You may have pet allergies that are mild and don't show up through the year. However, it could add to your outdoor allergies during the Spring season. So you may have to keep a little distance from them during the worst allergy days.
8. Your vehicle is another place where allergies can accumulate. You can keep the windows closed and run the A.C. in there as well. If you are really aggressive, then you can change the air filter in your car/truck about halfway through the allergy season.
9. There are many products for folks with allergies like special pillows and bedding. Some people swear by them. I haven't used them much, but many people do use them.
10. Lastly, some people swear that taking a teaspoonful of local honey gets rid of allergies. I started taking some over a month ago, and I think it has helped my allergies a bit. My symptoms are more occasional this year compared to the last few. It might be a little late for you now, but it's something to think about for next year.
I hope some of these tips help. Have a great weekend everybody.

Doctors find clue in quest to predict heart attack
WASHINGTON Too often, people pass a cardiac checkup only to collapse with a heart attack days later. Now scientists have found a clue that one day may help doctors determine if a heart attack is imminent, in hopes of preventing it.
Most heart attacks happen when fatty deposits in an artery burst open, and a blood clot then forms to seal the break. If the clot is too big, it blocks off blood flow.
The problem: Today's best tests can't predict when that's about to happen.
"We don't have a way to get at whether an artery's going to crack, the precursor to a heart attack," said Dr. Eric Topol, director of California's Scripps Translational Science Institute.
Wednesday, Scripps researchers reported a new lead - by searching people's blood for cells that appear to flake off the lining of a severely diseased artery.
Topol's team measured high levels of those cells, deformed ones, floating in the blood of 50 people who'd just had a heart attack. The research is reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Next, Topol said his team soon will begin needed studies to learn how early those cells might appear before a heart attack, and if spotting them could allow use of clot-preventing drugs to ward off damage. Some San Diego emergency rooms will study an experimental blood test with chest-pain sufferers whose standard exams found no evidence of a heart attack, he said.
Don't expect a test to predict heart attacks any time soon - a lot more research is needed, caution heart specialists not involved with the study. But they're intrigued.
"This study is pretty exciting," said Dr. Douglas Zipes of Indiana University and past president of the American College of Cardiology. It suggests those cells are harmed "not just in the minutes prior" to a heart attack, he said, "but probably hours, maybe even days" earlier.
"It's a neat, provocative first step," added Dr. William C. Little, cardiology chief at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. "But it is not a biomarker ready for prime time."
About 935,000 people in the U.S. have a heart attack every year, according to government figures. Doctors can tell who's at risk: People with high blood pressure and cholesterol, who smoke, have diabetes, are overweight or sedentary.
But there's no way to tell when a heart attack is imminent. Tests can spot that an artery is narrowing, or if a heart attack is under way or already has damaged the heart muscle. They can't tell if the plaque inside arteries is poised to rupture.
So it's not that uncommon for someone to suffer a heart attack shortly after passing a stress test or being told that their chest pain was nothing to worry about.
Wednesday's study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, investigated cells shed from the endothelium, or the lining of blood vessels, into the bloodstream. They're called "circulating endothelial cells."
First, Topol's team paired with Veridex LLC, a Johnson & Johnson unit that makes technology used to find cancer cells floating in blood. Could it find these cardiovascular cells, too?

The Kershaw chassis should be really good for speed runs. Like you said, the batteries will be lower, with a couple strips of whatever material you choose to serve as spacers, you could bring the plate that supports those batteries down even more. As low as the front and rear skid plates if you wish. You would need longer screws to bring the bottom plate down.Originally Posted by RootzMan
I'm not a big fan of using an off road truck for speed runs but I still am amazed at the amount of work and ingenuity you guys put into going faster and faster.

Mindy McCready Committed to Mental Health Facility Following Boyfriend's Death: Report
Mindy McCready is getting some much-needed help.
The 37-year-old country star has reportedly been committed to a treatment facility to deal with her alcohol abuse and mental health issues, according to E! Online.
Mindy's family members called for an emergency hearing with a judge on February 6, and the judge made the order for her to get treatment.
"Family members sought to have Mindy committed to a mental-health facility and there was an emergency hearing today," a source says, revealing that the judge "committed her for up to 21 days."
Mindy has apparently had trouble dealing with the death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound last month.
"David's death has truly been a struggle for her," explains the insider.
We're wishing Mindy the best during this difficult time.

In the Fall 2013 semester, ART 150: Multicultural America worked with the Pan African Community Association (PACA) on a collaborative digital storytelling project. As defined by the Center for Digital Storytelling, a digital story is a first-person narrative told through the use of digital media. Following the "Seven Elements to Digital Storytelling" as outlined in the Digital Storytelling Cookbook (Digital Diner Press, 2010), UWM ART 150 students were paired with PACA students to share and write their stories of migration and of learning new cultures. Throughout the semester, the PACA and UWM ART 150 students worked together, either during their required service learning hours or class sessions held at PACA, to write and produce their digital stories. PACA Education Program Coordinator Michael Grochowski and ART 150 instructor Dr. Shelleen Greene, worked with both the UWM and PACA students to facilitate the collaborative project. UWM and PACA students participated in a story circle in which they shared the stories they wanted to use for the digital narratives, completed audio recording with the ART 150 LLC Mentor Michael Fenner and ART 150 Media Assistant Steven Schwarz, and digital editing using Adobe Premiere, MovieMaker, or iMovie. On Tuesday, December 17, we screened the collaborative digital stories at PACA.
Art student Gordon Gohr creates "Solid Ground" for older adults with dementia
Gordon Gohr (center), a Peck School of the Arts student, built the structure for an independent studio course around two men, Mike and Paul, who spend time at the Luther Manor Adult Day Care Center. Mike and Paul are learning to live with dementia and, after addressing some common goals, Gordon developed a schedule of studio sessions using different media.
"When [we] talked art, we were on solid ground. We shared views and passion. If the conversation happened to venture away from art, things quickly became grey for [them]." Gordon says, "Art has become a favorite vehicle for expression for Mike and Paul... especially when the words of conversation aren't necessarily cooperating or flowing."
After seven two-hour studio sessions with Mike and Paul, Gordon assembled the "journey of mediums" (pastels, watercolors, and clay sculptures) for exhibit. The framed projects will debut at a reception at Luther Manor. Plans are in the works for the collaboration pieces to be included in the Arts Partner Fellowship of The Creative Trust Flourish Festival in spring.
Above: Mike and Paul work on clay sculptures during one of their studio sessions with Gordon.

Danielle Mihram
Danielle Mihram (Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania) is the Assistant Director of the Leavey Library at the University of Southern California [USC] and is on the faculty of USC Dornsife College's Department of French and Italian, where she teaches upper division undergraduate courses. She was the Director of USC's Center for Excellence in Teaching [CET] (1996-2007) and she remains a member of CET as one of its Distinguished Faculty Fellows. She holds advanced degrees from both France and the United States, and, prior to USC, she was a member on the Faculty of several academic institutions, including New York University, the University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, Haverford College, and the University of Sydney (Australia).
Dr. Mihram's research interests are multidisciplinary and have led to over a hundred publications and presentations in the fields of French literature, General Systems Theory, Information Science, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Her current research focuses on the evolution of the concept of the garden as a social, political, and artistic expression of French culture, particularly in the context of literature, the visual arts, and landscape & urban design. That research spans four centuries (from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century) and she was awarded several grants in support of her work: the USC Advancing Scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences Initiative [ASHSS; during its inaugural year]; the Summer Undergraduate Research Fund [SURF; Spring 2008] to support the work of one of the undergraduate students working closely with Dr. Mihram on the evolution of "the French garden" in 17th century gardens in France; and, in 2010, the USC Libraries' Alline Bardin Endowment Fund.
Under her leadership at the USC Center for Excellence in Teaching, the scope and breadth of CET's programs gained national prominence and recognition. In 2003 Dr. Mihram, together with Dr. Bruce Zuckerman (one among CET's Faculty Fellows), successfully competed for a sizeable grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to foster the growth and development of new and innovative mentoring at USC thus setting the foundations for a university-wide culture of academic mentoring.
Dr. Mihram is the recipient of several awards: The Outstanding Scholarly Achievement Award (2003), and the Innovation Award on Teaching and Research (2005), both from the International Institute for Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics; the USC Mellon Award for Excellence in Mentoring (2005); and, the USC Academic Senate's Distinguished Faculty Service Award (2008) "for your distinguished leadership of the Center for Excellence in Teaching, and for your furtherance of mentoring at the university".

Missing pigs
piggies were not
designed with climbing and jumping in mind, and several injuries resulted-including what Freeman describes as "a significant puncture wound."
Efforts to decrease the pigs' threat level proved unsuccessful. "We tried to make a modification to the pigs by grinding down some surfaces," Freeman explains, "but it didn't work." Ultimately, only one was deemed safe enough to remain on the playground. But while the rest are gone, they're not forgotten: Freeman reports that he and his staff are looking for a safe way to reincorporate the pigs into the park's landscape.

A HYDROGEN-powered aeroplane could take to the air by the end of the century. The plane, which is being developed by engineers at Daimler-Benz Aerospace Airbus (DASA), will eliminate carbon dioxide emissions and produce less pollution from nitrogen oxides than conventional aircraft.
Aircraft manufacturers have experimented with hydrogen, which is lighter than conventional fuel, in the past. In 1956, the US military successfully flew a Canberra bomber on hydrogen, although the plane needed conventional fuel to take off. And in the 1980s, Russian researchers converted a Tupolev 155 to run on natural gas or hydrogen.
The German project, however, is the first to redesign the combustion chamber of the engine in order to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides. Engineers at the University of Aachen created a "micro-mixing" system to replace the standard fuel nozzles. Hydrogen enters the combustion chamber through tiny pores, creating thousands of "flamelets", says Friedemann Suttrop, ...

Add some rock n roll to your visit
If you remember singing along to 'Two Princes' more than 20 years ago, this month is your chance to see the Spin Doctors perform live in Edinburgh on 23 January! No doubt they'll be performing the song that made their name and a few newer creations, too. If you weren't a fan first time round, this concert at HMV Picture House is your chance to get to know this outstanding 1990s band.
You may remember her as the girl who carried the Olympic flame through London in towering heels, but seeing Paloma Faith on stage at the Usher Hall on 29 January is a fantastic opportunity to get to know this performer a little better. Prepare for full-on theatricals as well as a combination of retro-inspired songs from Faith's first album, 'Do you want the truth or something beautiful?' and the more contemporary sound of its successor, 'Fall to Grace'. She is a true entertainer - not to be missed!

Peaceful Valley Certified Organic Lettuce Black Seeded Simpson Seed Description
Heirloom Non-GMO
Lactuca sativa Hardy Annual
Heirloom. This leaf lettuce with large, loose, light-green lightly crumpled leaves is a popular standard among green-leaf lettuces. Its inner leaves blanch nearly white. The plant is large and upright, and is slow to bolt. It withstands heat, drought, and frost.
Did You Know? Lettuce is a good source of vitamin A.
Soil temp 40-65°F
Planting depth 1/4-1/2"
Germination 7-14 days
Height 6-10"
Maturity 40-65 days
Spacing 4"
Soil and Water: Lettuce likes full sun except in hot summer climates where it prefers some shade, especially in the afternoon. Add plenty of compost to the soil to encourage rapid growth. Water evenly and moderately to prevent bitterness.
Planting and Growing: Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before transplanting outside, or sow seed directly as soon as the soil is workable. Make successive plantings every 10-14 days for a continuous harvest. In mild climates, lettuce can be sown from spring through fall.
Harvesting and Storage: Begin harvesting outer leaves as soon as they are large enough and continue until a central stalk begins to form, which signals the end of the harvest period. You can also harvest the entire plant when it's mature but still young and crisp.
