Charles Darwin died at Down house during the afternoon of April 19, 1882. Janet Brown describes the moment in her biography (Charles Darwin: The Power of Place p. 495).
He died on the afternoon of 19, April 1882, after sinking very low for two or three days beforehand and suffering what Emma called "fatal attack" at midnight on the 18th. There was no deathbed conversion, no famous last words. "I am not the least afraid to die," he apparently murmured to Emma. "Remember what a good wife you have been." Allfrey signed the death certificate giving "Angina Pectoris Syncope" as the cause of death, the gradual ceasing of the heart. He was seventy-three.The subtitle of Janet Browne's book (The power of Place) alludes to the remarkable status that Darwin achieved following publication of On the Origin of Species. Darwin was buried in Westminster Abbey at a huge funeral held on Wednesday, April 26, 1882. He was buried next to Sir John Herschel near the tomb of Sir Isaac Newton, "... an honorable place but not as close to [Charles] Lyell as Emma had hoped" (Browne, p. 497).

The Funeral of Mr. Darwin
The mortal remains of Charles Robert Darwin were interred in the Abbey at Westminster yesterday with marks of respect due to one whose name has been for many years familiar as a household word to his countrymen, and whose works have shed so much distinction upon English science. The coffin containing the body was brought to the Abbey late on the previous evening and borne through the cloisters, Mr. Darwin's five sons following, into the Chapel of St. Faith. This is a portion of the Abbey little known to casual visitors. It is a long narrow apartment, with a groined and vaulted roof, situate between the end of the south transept and the vestibule of the Chapter House, and was until a few years ago used as a store room, and for some time was mistakenly called the Chapel of St. Blaize. Sir Gilbert Scott, however, discovered at the east end, where traces of an alter are found, a mural painting of a female figure, evidently a saint, holding in her hands a book and an iron rod — the emblems of St. Faith. The western portion of the room formed of old a revestry. Into this bare chapel, which, to the eyes of of the greatest architect seemed "a picturesque and beautiful room," the coffin was carried on Tuesday night, and, seen by the dim light from two old-fashioned lanterns, the place seemed gloomy and tomb-like in contrast with the lofty, nobly proportioned interior of the Abbey which could be seen through the glass door opening into the south transept. The presence of death was more painfully forced on the mind even than during the solemn ceremonial of yesterday, when the great building was again peopled with the living. Soon after 11 in the morning those who were to follow the body as mourners began to assemble in the Chapter House. The Embassies of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain were represented, and among those invited through Messrs. T, and W. Banting to be present or to send representatives nearly all those who received invitations were present, were:—

Leckie, Mr. Frederic Harrison, Captain Abney, R.E., Mr. Frederick Pollock, Mr. W. R. S. Ralston, the Hon. Robert Winthrop, Professor Flower, F.R.S., and Mr. Herbert Spencer, F.R.S.
The Anthropological Institute appointed a deputation to attend, composed of the following members of the Society:— Sir John Lubbock, Mr. John Evans, F.R.S., Mr. E. B. Tylor, F.R.S., Professor Busk, F.R.S., Mr. Hyde Clarke, Professor W. H. Flower, Mr. Francis Galton, F.R.S., Dr. Allen Thomson, F.R.S., Mr. F. W. Rudler, F.G.S., Mr. F. E. W. Brabrook, F.S.A., Mr. J.

At about 20 minutes to 12 the body was brought out of the Chapel of St. Faith, through the Chapter-house vestibule, into the west cloister, and the procession was formed. The coffin was covered with a black velvet pall edged with white silk, On it were laid many wreaths of beautiful white flowers, one of the wreaths having been sent by members of scientific societies in Liverpool, represented by Mr. Isaac C. Thompson, F.R.M.S., honorary secretary of the Microscopical Society of Liverpool. The pall-bearers were the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Derby, Mr. J. Russell Lowell, the American Minister; Mr. W. Spottiswoode, LL.D., President of the Royal Society; Sir Joseph Hooker, Mr. A. R. Wallace, Professor Huxley, Sir John Lubbock, and the Rev. Canon Farrar. Proceeding slowly along the south cloister those heading the procession were met at the west entrance by members of the family and others, whose names follow:—
Mr. William Erasmus Darwin, chief mourner; Mr. George Darwin, F.R.S., Mrs. William Darwin, Miss Darwin, Mrs. Litchfield, Mr Francis Darwin, Mr. Leonard Darwin, Mr. R. B. Litchfield, Mr. Horace Darwin, Mr. Leonard Darwin, R.E., Mr. Darwin of Elston-hall, Mr. F. Alvey Darwin, Captain Charles Darwin, Mr. Reginald Darwin, of Buxton, Mrs. Vaughan Williams, Miss Wedgwood, the Rev. Charles Parker, Mr. Robert Packer, Mr. H. F. Bristowe, Q.C., Mr. Francis Galton, F.R.S., Mr. Ernest Wedgwood, Mr. Hensleigh Wedgwood, Mr. T. H. Farrer, Secretary of the Board of Trade, Mrs. Farrer, Mr. Godfrey Wedgwood, Miss A. Wedgwood, Mrs. Ruck, the Rev. Arthur Wedgwood, Mr. J. C. Hawkshaw, Mrs. Hawkshaw, Mr. George Allen, Mr. Henry Allen, M.P.; servant, Mr. William Jackson, and Mr. Joseph Parslow.
Within the Abbey a large congregation was assembled, filling the seats on the south side of the nave, the seats in the choir and such as were not reserved for the mourners in the transepts, while a large number admitted without tickets stood on the north side of the nave. Among those present were the Baroness Burdett-Boutts and Mr. Burdett-Coutts, the Lord Mayor, and Lady Mayoress and Miss Ellis, Mr. Sheriff Ogg, the Rev. R. C. Billing, Mr. Mark H. Judge, Mr. L. T. D'Eyncourt, and the Head Constable of Westminster. Masters and Queen's scholars of the Westminster School also attended. At the West Cloister door the mourners were met by the Rev. Canon Prothero, as senior canon in the absence of the Dean, who is abroad. Canon Prothero having read the opening sentence of the Service for the Burial of the Dead, the choir changed the other processional sentences to the music of Croft, as the procession moved down the south aisle to the west end of the church and then up the nave into the choir. Following the choristers came the Rev. J. H. Cheadle and the Rev. J. Troutbeck (minor canons of Westminster), Canon Rowsell, Canon Barry, Canon Duckworth, and the Rev. S. Flood Jones (precentor), and near the senior canon the Chapter Clerk, Mr. C. St. C. Bedford. The body was placed in front of the Communion rails during the first portion of the service. The Psalms were chanted to Purcell's music, and after the Lesson, which was read by Canon Duckworth, an anthem composed for the occasion by Mr. Bridge was sung to the words from the Book of Proverbs, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom. and getteth understanding. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." The soft and subdued ending of the composition, which was sung with much feeling by the choir, prepared the mind for the last sad duty that remained to be performed. The body was not removed to the grave, which is at the north-east corner of the nave next to that of Sir John Herschell, Dr. Bridge playing first Beethoven's Funeral March and then a more plaintive march by Franz Schubert in B minor, while the mourners proceeded to the grave, and the rest of the service was impressively read by Canon Prothero, the choir singing their part to Croft and Purcell's music. Near the grave and just beneath the monument to Sir Isaac Newton stood a remarkable and representative crowd of distinguished men, such as only an occasion of deep and general would bring together. Leaders of men and leaders of thought; political opponents, scientific co-workers; eminent discoverers, and practitioners of the arts. To name only a few as representative, there were Lord Spencer, President of the Council, who represented Her Majesty's Ministers at the funeral; the Marquis of Salisbury, Viscount Sherbrooke, Sir William Jenner, Sir Stafford Northcote, Sir Charles Dilke, Mr. Moncure D. Conway, Dr. Siemens, Sir William Gull, Mr. Childers, Professor Marshall, Sir John Hawkshaw, Mr. Ernest Hart, Mr. W. H. Smith, Mr. Herbert Spencer, Dr. Farquharson, Professor Flower, Mr. Robert Winthrop, and Mr. Ellis. The anthem by Handel, "His body is buried in peace, but his name liveth evermore," was sung, and the senior Canon having pronounced the Benediction, the mourners left, and the public were then allowed to pass round the grave. The inscription on the plate of the white, unpolished oak coffin read, "Charles Robert Darwin. Born February 12, 1809. Died April 19th, 1882."
In an article in to-day's Nature on the late Mr,. Darwin, Professor Huxley writes as follows:— "Not only in these islands, where so many have felt the fascination of personal contact with an intellect which had no superior, and with a character which was even nobler than the intellect, but in all parts of the civilized world it would seem that those who business it is to feel the pulse of the nations and to know what interests the masses of mankind were well aware that thousands of their readers would thin the world poorer for Darwin's death, and would dwell with eager interest upon every incident of his history. In France, in Germany, in Austro-Hungary, in Italy, in the United States, writers of all shades of opinion, for once unanimous, have paid a willing tribute to the worth of our great countryman, ignored in life by the official representatives of the kingdom, but laid in death among his peers in Westminster Abbey by the will of the intelligence of the nation. One could not converse with Darwin without being reminded of Socrates. There was the same desire to find some one wiser than himself; the same belief in sovereignty of reason; the same ready humour; the same sympathetic interest in all the ways and works of men. But instead of turning away from the problems of nature as hopelessly insoluble, our modern philosopher devoted his whole life to attacking them in the spirit of Heraclitus and of Democritus, with results which are as the substance of which their speculations were anticipatory shadows. The due appreciation or even enumeration of these results is neither practicable nor desirable at this moment. There is a time for all things—a time for glorying in our ever extended conquests over the realm of nature, and a time mourning over the heroes who have led us to victory. None have fought better, and none have been more fortunate than Charles Darwin. He found a great truth, trodden under foot, reviled by bigots, and ridiculed by all the world; he lived long enough to see it chiefly by his own efforts, irrefragably established in science, inseparably incorporated with the common thoughts of men, and only hated and feared by those who would revile, but dare not. What shall a man desire more than this? Once more the image of Socrates rises unbidden, and the noble peroration of the 'Apology' rings in our ears as if it were Charles Darwin's farewell:—'The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways—I to die and you to live. Which is the better God only knows.'"
We are requested to state that the absence of the Vice-Chancellor and members of the Council of the Senate of the University of Cambridge from the funeral of the late Mr. Darwin was occasioned by the circumstance that it was impossible for them to attend in consequence of the approaching election to the Regius Professorship of Hebrew. By the statute regulating the election it is imperative on the Vice-Chancellor and the members of the Council, who are the electors, to be present during the whole time each of the candidates for the Professorship delivers his exposition on the portions of Hebrew books assigned to him. The times for the delivery of these dissertations had been fixed nearly a month ago, and it was impossible to postpone them and to defer the election. Consequently, much to the regret of the Vice-Chancellor and the members of the Council, none of them could attend as representing the University of Cambridge.

Friday, December 9, 2011
There is a saying that epitomizes the dangers of surrendering too much of your independence: "Those who giveth can also taketh away." With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that in Portugal – and, most likely, a number of other nations in the months and years to come – state-provided pension funds are no longer safe from the government's all-powerful reach.
As the country continues to drown in a sea of red ink caused by generations of politicians pandering to generations of over-demanding citizens punch-drunk from too many trips to the public winery,the Portuguese Cabinet agreed this weekto transfer the assets from four of the country's biggest banks to the government treasury, in order to "bridge" a yawning budget gap that threatens to bankrupt the nation.
Portuguese government officials "assured" the European Union that the transfer of the life savings of Portuguese citizens would only be a one-time occurrence, but in saying so they ignored the fact that, in 2010, they balanced the government's books "by shifting three pension plans from Portugal Telecom on to the public social security system" and are liabilities that "don't count yet."
Some of the people's advocates have already begun to speak out. "This can't be seen as a future revenue stream in any way," said Raoul Ruperal from Open Europe.
As bad as it sounds for Portugal – and raiding the retirement funds of millions of Portugueseisbad, that couldn't happen in the U.S., right?
But it has already happened.
Do you remember last summerwhen lawmakers were haggling over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling? While lawmakers dithered over how much more hock to put the country into, the Obama administration authorized Treasury in May to "tap federal retiree programs to help fund operations," one report said.
In a letter to congressional leaders, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he would place "new investments in both the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) and the Thrift Savings Plan G Fund, which is invested in federal securities." He said retirees would be "unaffected" by the transfer of their pension funds. A news search for stories reporting that Treasury had paid back those funds found nothing, by the way.

The National Zoo's Sumatran tiger cubs have been cleared for their public debut.
Both cubs passed their swim reliability test at the Great Cats exhibit Wednesday. During the test, the 13-week-old brother and sister proved that they were able to swim and that they could climb onto dry land.
Staff members stood in the moat surrounding the habitat to place the cubs into the water and help direct them to shore.
The National Zoo says Wednesday's swim test helped them determine whether the duo were ready to explore their outdoor habitat.
Last month, the first Sumatran tiger cub born to the London Zoo in nearly 20 years died after drowning in a pool in its enclosure, CNN reported. Officials believe the cub's mother carried it into the padlocked portion of their habitat, where the 3-week-old cub fell into the pool.
The National Zoo's female tiger, Damai, gave birth to the cubs Aug. 5. Their father is the zoo's 12-year-old male tiger, Kavi.
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species. It is estimated that between 400 and 500 exist in the wild. There are 65 Sumatran tigers living in accredited zoos in North America in addition to these cubs.
The cubs will make their public debut Nov. 18, weather permitting. Until then, here's an adorable video of the cubs to hold you over.

A carriage driver has been accused of altering a hoof brand to make a 22-year-old draft horse with a breathing ailment appear to be a healthier horse nearly half its age.
Frank Luo branded the wrong hoof identification number on an aging horse named Ceasar, who was supposed to be resting on a Pennsylvania farm, so he could work under a license issued to a 12-year-old horse named Carsen, city health officials said in an administrative order last month.
The details of the case, obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information request, come as Mayor Bill de Blasio and animal-rights activists are pushing to ban the city's carriage industry as inhumane to the horses. Drivers have responded by saying they care for the horses like their own children.
In the written order, officials said a city vet noticed that the horse had Carsen's ID number on its hoof, but its "physical characteristics and medical condition was that of the older horse."
Ceasar had a mild, chronic condition called "heaves," which is similar to asthma, city officials said.
Luo told The Associated Press on Friday that the vet simply got it wrong.
"I did not switch the horses. It's just very confusing because they look alike," he said.
Initially, Luo submitted paperwork intended to prove that the horse really was Carsen, including a handwritten note from a Pennsylvania farmer who said Ceasar had been on his farm for months. The city asked for more proof, including a veterinarian's evaluation.
Five days later, Luo's lawyer informed the department that he couldn't afford to have the horse sitting idle and had shipped him to Pennsylvania and sold him.
"It's all settled now," Luo said. He said he would continue to operate his business using other horses.
The sale effectively ended the investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which monitors the horses' health. But the Department of Consumer Affairs, which regulates the drivers, is still investigating.
Luo's regulatory problems date to September, when he was cited for working at least two horses without active licenses. He also was accused of working Ceasar for nine days in July when the horse was supposedly in Pennsylvania. City regulations give the horses five weeks of pasture time each year.
Also in September, the Department of Consumer Affairs cited Luo for false advertising, overcharging customers and operating a carriage for more hours than allowed. Luo's company, the Manhattan Carriage Co., agreed in January to pay a fine and restitution.
In an unrelated incident, a horse Luo was driving in September bolted on 8th Avenue and hit a car. It suffered minor injuries.
A 2007 audit by the city comptroller noted that health certificates kept for carriage horses sometimes contained physical descriptions that changed from year to year, suggesting they weren't the same animals. In 2008, a stable owner pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct to resolve allegations that he tried to bribe a city investigator. Carriage owners have denied any subterfuge and maintained that their animals are among the healthiest and most tightly regulated anywhere.

I wrote this post about fathers during the A-Z challenge in April. I've been lucky to have a great dad, someone who set the bar very high, so anyone that chose to be with me forever was going to have to be pretty amazing, too. When I met my handsome fella, I knew two things in my bones: I was never going to break up with him, and he was going to be a fantastic father.
He spent the entire afternoon today, helping our daughter craft her comic book characters, then load them into Inkscape, and then help her load them onto her blog. All because this was important to her. She is important to him, and she knows it.
I once asked him if he was sad not to have a son to do things with, and he looked at me, totally perplexed: "What on earth could I do with a son that I can't do with a daughter?"
They have mini-adventures, often gone for hours at a time, usually returning covered in dust & dirt. They hang out in museums, sketching. They rough & tumble at the park. They love each other endlessly, with all the happiness & conflict that entails.
They drive each other crazy, with heated cries of "He started it" and "She started it"….
but honestly, I wonder if my two loves realise how similar they really are?!

Kubah National Park, MalaysiaKirsty Turner
Situated just on the outskirts of Kuching, Kubah National Park is the perfect daytrip destinations and not to be missed by nature lovers. The park covers an area of 22 square kilometres and is covered by pretty sandstone hills and lush forests.
A number of well-worn walking trails led the way through Kubah National Park, and visitors who follow these will be able to reach stunning natural features such as caves and sparkling waterfalls, while the rainforest is full of plants such as colourful orchids. The trails that lead the way through the park are easy to navigate for those who like to explore independently, while visitors who want to learn more about the park can hire a guide for a small fee.
One of the most enchanting natural features here is Gunug Serapi, which is the highest mountain in this part of the world. Visitors can follow a trail that leads to the very summit of this mighty mountain, which offers simply stunning views of the entire park from is lofty vantage point. Walking through the rainforest can be rather humid at times, and it is also possible to follow the Waterfall Trail to a sparkling cascade of water where visitors are invited to take a dip to cool off.
Follow the Ulu Rayu Trail to the Matang Wildlife Centre. This area of the park features a number of pretty rock pools and waterfalls as well as animals such as crocodiles and hornbills. This is the perfect spot for a picnic, and visitors can also make use of the barbecue pits located at Matang Wildlife Centre.
It is impossible to see everything that Kubah National Park offers in one day. Luckily, it is possible to sleep over in one of the self-catering forest lodges and a hostel. There is also plenty of comfortable accommodation in nearby Kuching, and this is a good option for those who don't fancy fending for themselves.

Check out my latest cooking episode up on GoodBite.com, part of the new Easy Entertaining series which has tips for making holiday entertaining tasty and easy. This time I'm sharing our recipe for roast pork tenderloins with maple pomegranate glaze, a flavorful dish that you can have ready in about 30 minutes.
The pork comes out tender and juicy and is always a hit with the family, even our young boys ask for seconds. Serve it with roasted potatoes and brown butter green beans, and you'll have a delicious meal.
Recipe Notes
A roasted pork tenderloin is easy to make and adding a flavorful glaze makes it a beautiful dish to serve your guests. And you won't need to spend a lot of time in the kitchen because you can roast the tenderloins and make the glaze all in about 30 minutes.
Maple syrup comes in a range of grades based on color and translucency. I like to use Grade B—the darkest maple syrup—for cooking because the flavor is more robust. Grade A Dark Amber will also work in this recipe.
Because you'll have two tenderloins in the skillet, make sure the pan is large enough to hold them both, but if not, you can brown them one at a time. You want to have some nice brown bits in the bottom of the pan for the extra flavor, so try to avoid nonstick skillets.
Serves 6 to 8.
12-inch skillet, not nonstick
baking sheet or bottom of a broiler pan, lined with foil
2 pork tenderloins, about 2-1/2 to 3 pounds total, trimmed of fat and silverskin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 large shallots, chopped
4 stems fresh lemon thyme
2 small stems fresh rosemary
1 cup (240 ml) pure pomegranate juice
2/3 cup (160 ml) Grade B maple syrup
1. Preheat the oven to 450° F/230° C.
2. Rub the tenderloins with the salt and pepper. Warm the oil in the large skillet until very hot, almost smoking. Add the oil to the pan and brown the tenderloins on both sides, about 10 minutes total, then transfer to the prepared roasting pan.
3. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of one of the tenderloins and bake in the oven until the temperature reaches 135°/57° C, about 15 minutes. Rotate the pan about halfway through roasting.
4. While the pork is in the oven, sauté the shallots in the pan drippings over medium heat until they soften. Add the sprigs of rosemary and lemon thyme and continue cooking until the shallots just start to brown. Add the pomegranate juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the caramelized bits of fond and bring to a slow boil. Remove the herb sprigs and add the maple syrup. Bring back to a slow boil over medium heat and continue cooking until the glaze reduces and thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully because the sugar in the maple syrup can burn.
5. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cutting board or other heat resistant surface. Cover the pork with foil and let it rest until the temperature reaches 145° to 150° F/63° to 66° C, about 5 to 10 minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve with the glaze.[Disclosure: This blog earns a small commission through affiliate links.]

First of all, for Mr. Silver to characterize Haley Barbours decision not to run for the Republican presidential nomination as irrelevant, is mind numbingly ignorant. The Barbour decision is one of the most important decisions to have been made regarding the 2012 presidential election to date. As noted in White House 2012, Governor Barbours decision not to run, has freed up many supporters and much money. Furthermore; whether Silver wants to deny it or not, that decisions has increased the chances that one of the top tier Republican presidential contenders, Governor Mitch Daniels, will run. This is far from irrelevant.
But beyond this, Mr. Silver takes it upon himself to bestow great credit to himself for never having given much thought or ink to the possibility of a Haley Barbour presidential candidacy. This is not something which I believe he deserves either personal or public credit for. Perhaps part of the reason as to why Silver did not take the potential candidacy of Governor Haley Barbour seriously was because he is utterly blind to the art of political campaigning and its powerful ability to overcome some negative perceptions, and to accentuate positive ones. Perhaps another reason is because Mr. Silvers liberal biases do not allow his mind to be as open as he would have us believe.
Haley Barbour is conservative, a point that I am sure did not go unnoticed by the New York Times Nate Silver. And it is that point which more than likely accounted for his tendency to not take Barbours potential candidacy seriously.
The fact of the matter is that for Mr. Silver to give himself a Super Bowl ring for Monday morning quarterbacking a game that has not yet even begun, is a bit silly. For him to imply thepossesion ofsome greater political instinct or knowledge than others, including Jonathon Martin of Politic, simply because he had not given much ink to the possibility of a Barbour presidential candidacy, is utterly ridiculous.
Two days prior to Governor Barbours announcement, I made my own assessment here in White House 2012 and in it I questioned the certainty of a Barbour presidential campaign. The accuracy of that post did not give me license to arrogantly discount the opinions of others and claim or imply that I have shrewder political instincts than George Will, Charles Krauthammer or Jonathon Martin.
The truth is that Mr. Silver may not have wanted to advertise the possibilities that existed within a Barbour candidacy, but that didnt make him any more correct than those who refused to deny those possibilities. While Barbour had several obvious handicaps, most of which White House 2012 acknowledged, he also had the capacity to rise above them. His fundraising ability is almost unmatched, his organization reach and ability was endless, and his record, policies and vision were more than powerful enough to build a credible candidacy on. But Mr. Silver claims he never believed so, so he deserves credit.
Credit for what? Denying the potential that existed? I dont think so.
Although I tend to believe that Haley Barbour and his family, decided against a run for President because of the obstacles, I do not believe the decision was reached because they concluded that they could not overcome the obstacles. I believe they decided not to run because they did not know exactly how committed they were to insuring that they overcame those obstacles. It is that uncertainty of commitment that Haley Barbour cited as the reason for deciding not to run. Yet in his analysis, Nate Silver suggests that his colleagues would be best advised to not take what those they write about so literally. I suggest that Mr. Silver listen to what those he writes about have to say and instead of automatically discounting the truth in what they say, perhaps he should first be open to thepossibility of thetruth.

Currently, there are primarily two tools/products available for converting a physical machine to a virtual machine (VM). While you may find other apps available to perform the conversion, the below products are designed by Microsoft:
- Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 (P2V)
- Disk2VHD Tool
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (aka SCVMM) not only provides built-in basic options to convert a physical computer to a virtual machine, it also offers advanced configuration options with the P2V wizard. SCVMM is a robust tool for managing virtualization products like Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware and Citrix Xen Servers. We're going to talk more about the Disk2VHD tool in this article, though, so explaining the P2V process of SCVMM is out of scope for this article.
Note: Disk2VHD tool is not a replacement for SCVMM but rather a user friendly tool to perform simple conversions.
Disk2VHD Tool
While converting physical computers to virtual machines can help organizations reduce their overall physical hardware costs, the enterprise products used for virtual conversion may be expensive. This is where the Disk2VHD tool comes in handy. If you need to perform a conversion without paying a license fee for SCVMM, you can use the Disk2VHD tool instead.
Disk2VHD is a standalone EXE that can be used to convert a physical machine to a virtual machine. Basically, as the name suggests, Disk2VHD converts logical volumes to VHD files. These VHD files can then be used either to create a virtual machine on Hyper-V or attach VHD file as a second drive to the existing virtual machines.
The Disk2VH tool operates in two modes: GUI mode and Command-Line mode. The command-line mode is typically more helpful for scripting-based conversions in which your intervention is not required.
We are going to discuss the following topics in this article:
- Disk2VHD Tool – Using GUI Mode
- Disk2VHD Tool – Using Command-Line Mode
- What Data Is Copied?
- Where Should We Use Converted VHD Files?
- Disk2VHD Facts
Disk2VHD Tool – Using GUI Mode
The Disk2VHD.exe tool can be downloaded directly from Microsoft at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.
Before you start the conversion process using the Disk2VHD tool, it is important to shut down all the applications you are running on the physical computer.
1. When you double click on the Disk2VHD.exe, it scans the current computer for all physical drives and shows the available drives for your selection to proceed with the conversion. This is shown in the below screenshot:
Note: The Disk2VHD tool omits network drives attached to the physical computer, as these are not considered for the conversion.
The screen also shows you the free disk space required on the destination location where the VHD file will be created for the drives you have selected.
Note: System Reserved partition (unlettered volume), as shown in the above screenshot, is a bootable partition on the physical computer. Include this partition only if you want to make your VHD bootable. In other words, you may consider including the System Reserved partition if your virtual machine is going to boot from this VHD file.
2. In the same screen, specify the VHD file name and location in the "VHD File Name" text box and then click on the "Create" button to start the conversion process.
3. When you hit the "Create" button, the tool will interact with the Operating System VSS component to create snapshots of the volumes as indicated in the below screenshot:
After the "snapshotting volumes" process is over, the data from the snapshot will be copied to the VHD file.

A couple of months ago, Rockmelt, the social web browser, arrived in an iPad version which had little in common with the PC/Mac edition — or, for that matter, with any conventional browser.
Rather than dedicating itself primarily to helping you navigate your way around the web on your own, it focused on helping you find content to consume, including stuff shared by your friends on Facebook and Twitter. And it did so with a slick interface that had as much in common with Pinterest and Flipboard as it did with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
Today, the Rockmelt folks have released an iPhone version which takes all the ideas in the iPad one, scales them down to a phone-friendly size and keeps the highly-polished feel. The company provided me with early access to the new app, and I've been enjoying using it.
Eric Vishria and Tim Howes, Rockmelt's founders, told me that they wanted to build an iPhone app you could navigate easily with one thumb. Flicking a story to the right puts it in the sidebar (a sort of hybrid of tabs and bookmarks). Flicking it to the left deletes it. It's also easy to express the six built-in emotions — Like, Lol, Want, Wtf?, Aww, and Hmm — with two thumb taps. And everything's extremely zippy — you can scroll through shared items as fast as your thumb can take you.
As with the iPad version, all the articles, videos and other content you peruse are summarized in Pinterest-like tiles; in some cases, tapping on them presents you with a decluttered view based on Safari's Reader mode. (In others, you just go to the originating web page.) If you use RockMelt in portrait mode, you get one never-ending column of tiles, but flipping your phone into landscape orientation switches to a neat two-column mode.
Just as you'd expect, your friend list and sites you've followed get synchronized with the iPad version. So do the pages you've saved to the sidebar.
It's possible to use Rockmelt for iPhone to browse to any web page, but it's a tad cumbersome: The browser makes suggestions as you type, but doesn't provide a standard autocomplete feature. I also found that it occasionally refused to load pages at all. And there didn't seem to be any way to follow random web sites which aren't in RockMelt's directory, one of my favorite features in the iPad app.
So even more than the iPad edition, the iPhone one isn't really a good replacement for Safari or whatever other browser you're using. Instead, it's a cool complement to it — a browser which, unlike old-school ones, makes sure that you always have plenty of stuff to browse.

I have a confession. For a long time now I have found myself befuddled by those who claim to have identified the causes behind observed outcomes in social research via the quantitative analysis of (relatively) large datasets (see posts here, here, and here). For a while, I thought I was seeing the all-to-common confusion of correlation and causation…except that a lot of smart, talented people seemed to be confusing correlation with causation. This struck me as unlikely.
Then, the other day in seminar (I was covering for a colleague in our department's "Contemporary Approaches to Geography" graduate seminar, discussing the long history of environmental determinism within and beyond the discipline), I found myself in a similar discussion related to explanation…and I think I figured out what has been going on. The remote sensing and GIS students in the course, all of whom are extraordinarily well-trained in quantitative methods, got to thinking about how to determine if, in fact, the environment was "causing" a particular behavior*. In the course of this discussion, I realized that what they meant by "cause" was simple (I will now oversimplify): when you can rule out/control for the influence of all other possible factors, you can say that factor X caused event Y to happen. Indeed, this does establish a causal link. So, I finally get what everyone was saying when they said that, via well-constructed regressions, etc., one can establish causality.
So it turns out I was wrong…sort of. You see, I wasn't really worried about causality…I was worried about explanation. My point was that the information you would get from a quantitative exercise designed to establish causal relationships isn't enough to support rigorous project and program design. Just because you know that the construction of a borehole in a village caused girl-child school attendance to increase in that village doesn't mean you know HOW the borehole caused this change in school attendance to happen. If you cannot rigorously explain this relationship, you don't understand the mechanism by which the borehole caused the change in attendance, and therefore you don't really understand the relationship. In the "more pure" biophysical sciences**, this isn't that much of a problem because there are known rules that particles, molecules, compounds, and energy obey, and therefore under controlled conditions one can often infer from the set of possible actors and actions defined by these rules what the causal mechanism is.
But when we study people it is never that simple. The very act of observing people's behaviors causes shifts in that behavior, making observation at best a partial account of events. Interview data are limited by the willingness of the interviewee to talk, and the appropriateness of the questions being asked – many times I've had to return to an interviewee to ask a question that became evident later, and said "why didn't you tell me this before?" (to which they answer, quite rightly, with something to the effect of "you didn't ask"). The causes of observed human behavior are staggeringly complex when we get down to the real scales at which decisions are made – the community, household/family, and individual. Decisions may vary by time of the year, or time of day, and by the combination of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, and any other social markers that the group/individual chooses to mobilize at that time. In short, just because we see borehole construction cause increases in girl-child school attendance over and over in several places, or even the same place, doesn't mean that the explanatory mechanism between the borehole and attendance is the same at all times.
Understanding that X caused Y is lovely, but in development it is only a small fraction of the battle. Without understanding how access to a new borehole resulted in increased girl-child school attendance, we cannot scale up borehole construction in the context of education programming and expect to see the same results. Further, if we do such a scale-up, and don't get the same results, we won't have any idea why. So there is causality (X caused Y to happen) and there are causal mechanisms (X caused Y to happen via Z – where Z is likely a complex, locally/temporally specific alignment of factors).
Unfortunately, when I look at much quantitative development research, especially in development economics, I see a lot of causality, but very little work on causal mechanisms that get us to explanation. There is a lot of story time, "that pivot from the quantitative finding to the speculative explanation." In short, we might be programming development and aid dollars based upon evidence, but much of the time that evidence only gets us part of the way to what we really need to know to really inform program and project design.
This problem is avoidable –it does not represent the limits of our ability to understand the world. There is one obvious way to get at those mechanisms – serious, qualitative fieldwork. We need to be building research and policy teams where ethnographers and other qualitative social scientists learn to respect the methods and findings of their quantitative brethren such that they can target qualitative methods at illuminating the mechanisms driving robust causal relationships. At the same time, the quantitative researchers on these teams will have to accept that they have only partially explained what we need to know when they have established causality through their methods, and that qualitative research can carry their findings into the realm of implementation.
The bad news for everyone…for this to happen, you are going to have to pick your heads up out of your (sub)disciplinary foxholes and start reading across disciplines in your area of interest. Everyone talks a good game about this, but when you read what keeps getting published, it is clear that cross-reading is not happening. Seriously, the number of times I have seen people in one field touting their "new discoveries" about human behavior that are already common conversation in other disciplines is embarrassing…or at least it should be to the authors. But right now there is no shame in this sort of thing, because most folks (including peer reviewers) don't read outside their disciplines, and therefore have no idea how absurd these claims of discovery really are. As a result, development studies gives away its natural interdisciplinary advantage and returns to the problematic structure of academic knowledge and incentives, which not only enable, but indeed promote narrowly disciplinary reading and writing.
Development donors, I need a favor. I need you to put a little research money on the table to learn about whatever it is you want to learn about. But when you do, I want you to demand it be published in a multidisciplinary development-focused journal. In fact, please start doing this for all of your research-related money. People will still pursue your money, as the shrinking pool of research dollars is driving academia into your arms. Administrators like grant and contract money, and so many academics are now being rewarded for bringing in grants and contracts from non-traditional sources (this is your carrot). Because you hold the carrot, you can draw people in and then use "the stick" inherent in the terms of the grant/contract to demand cross-disciplinary publishing that might start to leverage change in academia. You all hold the purse, so you can call the tune…
*Spoiler alert: you can't. Well, you probably can if 1) you pin the behavior you want to explain down to something extraordinarily narrow, 2) can limit the environmental effect in question to a single independent biophysical process (good luck with that), and 3) limit your effort to a few people in a single place. But at that point, the whole reason for understanding the environmental determinant of that behavior starts to go out the window, as it would clearly not be generalizable beyond the study. Trust me, geography has been beating its head against this particular wall for a century or more, and we've buried the idea. Learn from our mistakes.
**by "more pure" I am thinking about those branches of physics, chemistry, and biology in which lab conditions can control for many factors. As soon as you get into field sciences, or starting asking bigger questions, complexity sets in and things like causality get muddied in the manner I discuss below…just ask an ecologist.

So what's all this 'geophysics' nonsense about, eh?
I went to a lecture by an archaeologist at the local university yesterday, and he said that the most important thing about archaeology is to have fun. And this applies to geophysics and, indeed, any career (except accounting, I would imagine). I became an archaeological geophysicist out of passion, interest and a genuine enjoyment out of the job. Each site always has something new and fascinating to learn, and the site I am currently looking at is no exception.
But before I can do anything… where did I put my bloody laptop cable? I misplaced the power cable to my laptop about a week ago, and I ran the battery flat last night (I am writing this from my desktop computer), so I am having difficulty processing the data I collected a few days ago!
No matter. Let me now waffle on for a while about my current area of focus. I am putting together a proposal for a geophysical survey of a nineteenth-century railway near Melbourne (Australia). A temporary (i.e. it lasted for almost four years) settlement for the railway workers was established alongside the railway, and there was even a cemetery which is known to have the burials of a number of infants in a paddock nearby. I have been asked to find the graves (no grave markers exist at the site now) and also to try and find the settlement (which is believed to have been just tents and timber houses for the most part. The settlement site is about 700 x 700 metres in dimensions, so is quite a large site. I have decided to propose a magnetic susceptibility survey, the results of which will allow a magnetometry survey to be narrowed-down (to reduce costs and time spent in the field). This research is being done simply out of interest, rather than as part of a commercial project, so funding is going to be scarce. But I am truly excited about this one!
So today I am talking with Heritage Victoria about the proposal and preparing the proposal itself to pass on to the client. In between doing that, and writing this blog post, I am also doing a bit of marketing (which is a daily habit) to keep up interest, and have been discussing the railway settlement site with the Hunter Geophysics 'fans' on Facebook. I feel that informing the public about my work is vitally important; it is, after all, their history that I am researching. Facebook is just one method of letting the public know what I am up to. I am also preparing a presentation for the upcoming Royal Historical Society's meeting in Bendigo (country Victoria) about my recent work in another cemetery (most of my work is in cemeteries!) – I want to get at least half an hour of work done on that today, but half the trouble is finding the time. It might be a job for the weekend. Finally, this evening, I have a meeting with the Secretary of the local historical society – she has been a mentor since my high school years; it will be good to catch up with her.
Now, it's the end of the day; time for a Parma at the pub. Oh, wait, damn; I'm not doing fieldwork today – no Parma for me.
