The practical purpose of Lent is to strengthen the will against the passions. Even by checking passions which are natural, healthy and good — like the desire for three solid meals on Ash Wednesday — we engage in spiritual exercise. The self-denial prepares us for battles to come, when our passions will desire ends which oppose the virtues.
The aim of fasting and abstinence is not to suppress the appetites totally, but rather to become practiced in checking our passions, in affixing a bridle. Lately a lot of news coverage has focused on the passion of anger. We've seen the expression of civic anger in the new Tea Party movement. Some critics in the media have obtusely compared the angst of Tea Partiers to an angry software engineer turned domestic terrorist, Joe Stack.
On February 18th, after a long and festering rage, Stack flew his airplane into an IRS building in the capitol of Texas. In his more than 3000 word screed, posted on the internet, Stack described the extent of his anger as "the storm raging in my head."
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, when anger gets so immoderately fierce as to blind reason and destroy its rectitude, it is "sinful anger." It becomes a capital vice because, via impetuosity, it precipitates the mind into inordinate action. (Summa Theologica II-II,158.1-2)
But "zealous anger" is not sinful, according to the Angelic Doctor. On the contrary, "if one is angry in accordance with right reason, one's anger is deserving of praise." (Summa, II-II,158.1) Aquinas continues:
Anger may stand in a twofold relation to reason. First, antecedently; in that it withdraws reason from its rectitude, and has therefore the character of evil. Secondly, consequently, inasmuch as the movement of the sensitive appetite is directed against vice and in accordance with reason. This anger is good, and is called "zealous anger" (Summa, II-II,158.1).
Reason, deliberation, and recourse to a well formed conscience, must then precede anger. Otherwise it may take the form of blind rage. Again, St. Thomas quotes Pope St. Gregory the Great to emphasize the leader/follower relationship between right reason and anger: "We must beware lest, when we use anger as an instrument of virtue, it overrule the mind, and go before it as its mistress, instead of following in reason's train, ever ready, as its handmaid, to obey.'" (Summa, II-II,158.1; cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1765, 1772-3, 2302)
Stack's screed was perhaps an attempt to make his anger seem reasonable as well as understandable. I've talked to a number of people who say they understand why Stack was so incensed. None, however, see it as a reasonable response to the political/bureaucratic nightmare many of us face in 21st century America.
Thirty years ago, the IRS put Mel, my old friend, through two years of hell on earth until, at long last, he was completely exonerated of liability for the business malpractices of his boss. But the IRS gave him no apology, no monetary compensation for stress or for countless hours wasted, and nothing but the political insight that goes with being considered guilty until proven innocent by your own anguished efforts.
Mel's anger was most assuredly justifiable, but he kept his head and remained reasonable. He recognized that he had no way of exacting a just vengeance on the IRS. Mel never seriously entertained the idea, I'm sure. Any right minded Christian who reflects on such a course of action must conclude that killing a few IRS agents would be wrong morally, not to mention inexpedient for everyone concerned.
The inexpediency is another negative aspect to unbridled anger. It fails to produce the desired result. In his essay, Joe Stack indicated that he hoped "Mr. IRS man" would lose some sleep. Stack's daughter, Samantha Bell, criticized the American tax system as "very faulty;" and she expressed hope that things might change for the better because of her father's well publicized attack. By Christian criteria, neither Joe nor Samantha had hopes that accord with right reason.
Four days after Stack's "supreme sacrifice", IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman spoke to the press in Austin. Secretary of the US Treasury, Timothy Geitner, stood at his side. Applauding IRS agents' "hard work on behalf of the American citizens," Shulman added that "an act like this won't stop us from doing our jobs with dignity and respect for Americans."
I doubt that the IRS Commissioner's statement would have filled my friend Mel with warm feelings of patriotism. Nor would it have caused informed citizens to forget that our tax burden today is far greater proportionately than the level of taxation which provoked Americans to revolt against the British in 1776. Note that neither Shulman, nor Geitner, nor the statement he carried from President Obama, addressed the justifiable anger felt by millions of Americans concerning the corrupt and oppressive condition of the Federal Government.
Beltway politicians and bureaucrats tend to be prideful, obstinate, and opposed to fundamentally changing the system. No displays of unreasonable anger, no high-tech temper tantrums, will inspire or force the Feds to clean up their act. Rampages of revenge may well backfire, provoking crackdowns (like the Patriot Act), which reduce our freedoms.
This is not to say that the government is any less culpable than irresponsible citizens. In fact corrupt politicians are guilty of evildoing on a grand scale. They risk unleashing the dogs of civil war by blocking salutary reform. As JFK put it in 1962, "Those who made peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Compared to the criminals in Washington, D.C., Joe Stack was small fry. The hope in Luke 1:52, "he (God) has put down the mighty and exalted the humble," does not refer to Mr. Stack's ilk. Joe expressed the storm raging in his head in a manner that does nothing to solicit the favorable interposition of divine Providence.
Similarly with Marvin Heemeyer, whose rampage in 2004 with a homemade tank destroyed 13 buildings in Granby, Colorado. His high profile act of vengeance, followed by his self-inflicted death, did little if anything to shame the petty tyrants who wrecked his business, or to cause their repentance. Heemeyer's stated objective was "to sacrifice my life, my miserable future that you gave me, to show you that what you did is wrong."
A less personal desire for revenge seems to have motivated Timothy McVeigh in 1995 to destroy the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In the process he killed 149 adults and 19 children, and injured over 680 innocent people.
The decorated ex-army man was understandably outraged at the deaths of scores of people in Waco, Texas, including 20 of the Branch Davidian children. McVeigh was but one of many Americans to ask the question: Since when does the Federal Government execute people for holding bizarre religious beliefs?
The ferocity of McVeigh's anger knew no bounds, however, and he decided to avenge the massacre at Waco in an impetuous and atrocious way. Evidently McVeigh, a lapsed Catholic, had never heard of, or certainly had not taken to heart, the Catholic Encyclopedia's entry on anger:
[I]n conformity with the prescriptions of balanced reason, anger is not a sin. It is rather a praiseworthy thing and justifiable with a proper zeal. It becomes sinful when it is sought to wreak vengeance upon one who has not deserved it …. The sin is then in a general sense mortal as being opposed to justice and charity.
And so our Lenten theme here is that spiritual exercises empower us to bridle passions like anger; also to help us choose mortal sin's alternative, namely zealous anger, which we ought to manifest as tough love.
Lech Walesa showed tough love to the United States in a speech delivered this year (January 29th). Polish hero and compatriot of John Paul II during the Revolution of 1989, Walesa pointed out to his audience in Chicago that the world used to look to the USA for hope. But today, said he, America no longer leads the world politically or morally. "The U.S. was always the last resort, the hope that when something was going wrong we could count on the United States. Today we have lost that hope."
In 1953, President Eisenhower paraphrased Tocqueville's epic Democracy in America: "America is great because America is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." Since Eisenhower's day, our country has indeed declined morally, spiritually and politically. The devolution derives partly, I submit, from the failure to make the distinctions as discussed above in regard to anger.
Furthermore, many Americans have lost the will to display righteous indignation at all, i.e. by employing zealous anger as peer pressure against vices in the culture. In this sense, St. Thomas cites the lack of angry passion as a vice in itself. Aquinas quotes the maxim attributed to St. John Chrysostom: "He who is not angry where he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices; it fosters negligence, and incites not only the wicked but even the good to do wrong." Anger is useful, says St. Thomas, as "conducive to the more prompt execution of reason's dictate" (Summa, II-II,158.8).
Alas, America has become an increasingly unreasonable nation, embracing the passions that demean us, and disavowing the passions that might lead to restoration of the country and the culture. But a sizeable remnant remains passionately angry in a virtuous way, as evidenced by persevering resistance to abortion.
Indicative also of zealous anger were the 2008-09 victories for traditional marriage in Maine, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida and California. Unlike Dick Cheney, many Americans are far from nonchalant about letting the nation become a postmodern version of Sodom and Gomorrah.
And so, our Lenten reflections should not overlook civic duty. In contemplating the plight being inflicted on our country, do we feel and express sufficient anger? To the extent that "vice prevails and impious men bear sway," do we discipline the passion of anger, or are we prone to let it degenerate into rage? Lastly, in laying plans for civic action, does anger lead the way? Or do we will to follow right reason?

On a short visit to Newcastle yesterday, the Prime Minister was asked about whether she supported a campaign by the Newcastle Herald to make coal companies cover coal wagons to prevent small particulates escaping as trains go through the city to the coal export terminals there.
She is quoted in today's Newcastle Herald saying that, "From my point of view, we need the science and all of the information about the impacts for community members and for their health."
Senior Climate and Energy Campaigner, Georgina Woods said, "Despite major concerns about health problems – particularly respiratory illness – caused by coal dust, insufficient research has been carried out in this field. With a doubling of the already high number of coal wagons passing through the heavily populated Newcastle area and port expansions up and down the coast, this is a shocking oversight. It's essential that governments require health studies as part of the assessment process for new mines, railways and port infrastructure and none should be approved without such measures in place. People's health should come first."
"There are unprecedented expansion proposals in the pipeline for Queensland coal as well, with plans to more than double the current quantities of coal sent to the coast by rail and exported from new coal terminals through the Great Barrier Reef," said Woods.
"Communities in central and coastal Queensland, in Brisbane, in the Liverpool Plains, the Hunter and Newcastle are asking questions about the price they're being asked to pay for coal mining and exports. At this point, we don't even know how sick coal is making these communities."

Mainly, I'm frustrated because he has chosen to stay in jail rather than be put on house arrest because he would be forced to return to school.
This isn't because he comes from a bad family. He doesn't. His mom and dad are good parents and hardworking people. They are supportive, intelligent, and both understand the value of -- and are willing to support -- his education.
It is more related to the fact that he doesn't come from a bad family and the dissonance between his reality and his personal narrative is painful. Each of us has a dominant narrative into which we incorporate the events and interactions of our daily existence and Marvin's narrative is founded in badassery. He wants to be hard. He wants to be a thug and it is easier to align himself with his story in lock-up than it is in a classroom.
But it's not just that. There are dozens of kids that fall away from our school each year and many of them don't have a thug narrative and aren't involved in gangs and crime. For many of them their narratives are victim-based or built around self-loathing. But in all cases our schools have played a huge roll in creating the circumstances that make dropping out seem like a valid and reasonable choice.
We tell kids that school is vital. We tell them that getting a high school diploma is the most important thing that they can do. We beg, we scold, we yell and we cheer all in an effort to squeeze another graduate out of the tube. Our national emphasis is on graduation. High school is the only time in any of our lives when entire institutions are willing to bend over backwards in order to ensure our success. High school students are rewarded for attendance and for academic achievement. There are even movements afoot to pay students money to attend and succeed.
But at the same time, we treat them like criminals.
The article on Common Dreams today regarding the 'School to Prison Pipeline' starts like this:
Metal detectors. Teams of drug-sniffing dogs. Armed guards and riot police. Forbiddingly high walls topped with barbed wire.
Such descriptions befit a prison or perhaps a high-security checkpoint in a war zone. But in the U.S., these scenes of surveillance and control are most visible in public schools, where in some areas, education is becoming increasingly synonymous with incarceration.
That article concerns itself with the aggressive policing and policy enforcement by schools and school police which has the potentiality to destroy students. It's a real issue, but the problem is both older and more institutional than that:
Our schools manufacture alienation.
I've written about this in more detail before, but it is important to remember that our schools were designed in part with the advice and consult of Andrew Carnegie and other Gilded Age industrialists in order to tailor the educational product to the needs of the product's consumer. Since most public education products would be working in an industrial setting, it made sense to acculturate them to factory life in their adolescence so that they would be able to make the jump from pupil to cog with little added training.
Factories needed workers who responded to bells.
Factories needed workers who were capable of basic math and literacy.
Factories needed workers who were able to follow directions.
Factories needed workers who did not question authority.
Factories needed workers who did not attempt to think beyond the requirements of their duties.
Factories needed workers who were conditioned to repetitive simple tasks.
So schools tailored their factories to produce factory workers. They even designed the schools to resemble the factories in which their products would labor later in life.
But there are no more factories and the institutions, pathways and methodologies we have spent a century creating, that we cling to because this is how we've always done it, are now anachronistic and ridiculous. For the last thirty years, our schools have been home to a massive self-defeating hypocrisy where we are using a factory model in an attempt to create knowledge workers.
We tell our kids to think for themselves because the modern workforce needs critical thinking, but we punish them for doing so when their analyses don't match the conclusions required by the tests.
We encourage kids to be individuals, but reward conformity and punish dissent within the massive institutional system that is public education.
We want kids to be self-regulating, but still demand absolute obedience to tardy-bells.
We implore kids to express themselves, but we still don't allow them to question authority.
We rhapsodize about creativity, but we don't allow kids to apply it to our curriculum which is forged in steel.
Our aspirations are digital, but our actions are still industrial and for children who grow up in neighborhoods like Marvin's, where they are told over and over again that school is their only way out, confusion and frustration feed their often destructive narratives. Confusion and frustration are a short straight path to alienation.
And for Marvin and other kids like him, alienation means being more comfortable behind bars than in class.

London - Due to a back injury Tyson Cave has been forced to withdraw from the Commonwealth Super Bantamweight title fight against champion Kid Galahad at Ponds Forge, Sheffield on 20th September.
Hennessy Sports can confirm that the unbeaten number 15 ranked WBO Latino Super Bantamweight champion and former WBC World Youth champion Adeilson Dos Santos will now face Kid Galahad in an international super bantamweight contest.
The fight will be shown live on Channel 5 and is sponsored by MaxiNutrition.
Kid Galahad said "I'm gutted that Cave has pulled out with a back injury, personally I don't think he fancied it and didn't want to face me. He knew I would be too good and too strong for him."
"I haven't seen too much of Dos Santos to be honest but he is unbeaten, world ranked in the WBO and was highly ranked in the WBC ratings until they removed him when he fought for the WBO Latino title.
"But that doesn't worry me, I will be bringing my A game and whoever steps in the ring with me on the 20th will be getting knocked out."
Adeilson Dos Santos said. "I am very well trained for this match, I know that my opponent is very good but I want to come out of this "battle" as a winner and bring a great win back to Brazil.
Promoter Mick Hennessy said. "I have watched footage of Dos Santos , he is young, unbeaten, fresh, big at the weight and dangerous and I consider this to be a harder fight than the Cave fight."
Adam Etches will be fighting Samir Santos Barbosa for the IBF International Middleweight title and Popular Sheffield fighter Scott Jenkins will also be in action along with local fighters Atif Shafiq, Sam O'Maison, Callum Hancock, Jordan Gill of Chatteris and Tyson's brother Young Fury in his 2nd professional fight.
The packed crowd will also see highly regarded featherweight prospect Yusuf Safa from Bexleyheath in action.
Limited tickets for the Hennessy Sports promoted event at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, priced at £35 general admission and £100 ringside are still available to purchase by calling the SIV ticket box office on 0114 223 3777.
Tickets are also available from www.sivtickets.com or in person at the Sheffield City Hall, Crucible Theatre and Motorpoint Arena Sheffield.
Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing are delighted to announce they have teamed up with Top Rank to help explore opportunities for the IBF Super Bantamweight mandatory challenger Chris Avalos.
An exemption was given to champion Kiko Martinez to fight Carl Frampton in Belfast this weekend on the understanding that the winner will face IBF number one ranked Avalos within 90 days.
"There are lucrative opportunities for Chris Avalos within the division, particularly on this side of the pond," said Hearn. "We'll be working closely with Carl Moretti and Top Rank on Chris' challenge for the IBF title against the winner of Kiko and Carl's fight at the weekend."
Road Warrior Seawright Ready For Biggest Fight Of Life
By Daniel Mole
Matt Seawright is gearing up for what he describes as the biggest fight of his life.
For a man who has stepped into the ring on more than 100 occasions, that's some statement. Seawright (5-96-5 and counting) however is set to experience two things that, during his seven-year professional career to date, he hasn't; expectation and home advantage.
The respected road warrior tops the bill as professional boxing returns to Tamworth for the first time in 90 years. After trekking the length and breadth of the country on an almost weekly basis since turning pro in 2007, the Scotsman is fighting in the town he calls home.
Not only is he fighting on his doorstep, there's also a title up for grabs in the form of a British Masters Light Welterweight belt. Being the home fighter in a title against a fellow respected 'journeyman' in Kristian Laight (9-180-7), Seawright will also have to manage the expectation of his supporters. For the first time in a long time, he goes into the fight as arguably the favourite.
It's a challenge he is ready to step up to.
"This is probably the biggest fight I've ever had been in my life," the Errol Johnson managed boxer told www.uko-boxing.com . "I'm fighting for a title and it's in my home town.
"I know I've fought in Birmingham and Burton, and all over the Midlands, but to be in the home corner with the whole town I live in watching me is 'mega'.
"Ticket sales have gone well. It's not something I'm used to having to really push but I'm just taking it in my stride and I've sold a good few.
"Training has gone really well. I'm running every day, five to eight miles, and I've been doing two sprint sessions a week to build up my stamina.
"The weight is coming off nicely. I've not been 10 stone in a while but I will do it with the way I've been eating and training no problem."
The 36 year-old has even booked fight week off work as he prepares for his clash with Laight at the Wilencote Community Centre, Tinkers Road, Tamworth on Sunday, 21st September.
It's a massive afternoon for Seawright as he steps in with a man cut from a similar cloth. Like Seawright, Laight is a regular on the boxing circuit with almost 200 professional fights to his name. The pair spend their boxing life helping to mould and shape the title challengers of tomorrow but, for one afternoon only, they will take centre stage and compete for their own slice of boxing glory.
"This means everything," Seawright added. "I'm fighting another road warrior Kristina Laight and I can tell you this it's going be a battle worth watching.
"I know it means a lot to him also, so with the two of us fit and hungry for it, it's going to be a fight to remember."
Tickets, priced at £30 and £50 Ringside, are available by calling 07557 993 193.
Seawright is back in action two weeks after his title punt when he takes on Chester light welterweight, Nathan Clarke, at Chase Leisure Centre, Stafford Road, Cannock. Tickets for that encounter, priced at £30 and £50 Ringside, are available by calling 07891 263 167.

Guinea pigs are herbivores. This means your cavy can only eat plants, fruits, and vegetables. They do not eat meat. In the savannahs, or flat grasslands, of South America, wild guinea pigs eat grasses, herbs, weeds, and wild fruits and vegetables. They also drink a fair amount of water. In part, your guinea pig's diet should be based on the foods he would eat if living in the wild.
However, cavies, like humans, are different than most other animals. We and our guinea pig friends cannot manufacture our own Vitamin C. Most animals produce this water-soluble nutrient within their bodies. This is done by changing glucose, which is a simple sugar, into ascorbic acid, which is Vitamin C. This change takes place in either the liver or kidneys, depending on the animal. A lack of Vitamin C can cause serious health problems and diseases.
To prevent Vitamin C deficiency, you should feed your guinea pig a specially formulated pellet diet. In addition, a fresh supply of Timothy Hay should always be available. Timothy Hay both aids digestion and helps wear down your guinea pig's continually growing teeth. Other good food sources include a variety of fruits and vegetables. Cavy favorites include green vegetables, carrots, green cabbage, lettuce (not iceberg), and a small apple slice.

With the success of the smaller Godzilla 22, Sam immediately started thinking about that universal law of nature that applies to everything except cooking. If a _____ (boat) is good, then a bigger one must be better. In the case of the Godzilla 25, a Yanmar 75 horse diesel delivers an overabundance of power that happens to throttle back nicely to smooth and efficient operation while delivering free heat to the cabin. More importantly, the 25 foot version provides more space. More space equals more comfort and easier access to the internals of the boat. Easier maintenance is always a good thing. It's a working boat that would happily carry to away to distant ports. To learn more of the thinking that went into the Godzilla 25, please read Sam's design notes.
The Godzilla 25 is available in study and construction plans.

Smoked Hamburgers
Human history is filled with moments of breathtaking discovery. Lewis & Clark's first glimpse of the mighty Pacific, Watson and Crick's unraveling of DNA, Armstrong and Aldrin's dusty steps on the moon, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's ascent of Mt. Everest. Add to this epic list, Tom and Brian's smoked hamburgers.
My first love - a Mecco electric water smoker
First, a little history. Back in the 20th century I purchased my first smoker and a copy of an excellent smoker cookbook called Smoke & Spice. For years I referred to it when making traditional smoker favorites like ribs, pork shoulder and smoked sausages. I would often leisurely thumb through the book and was always intrigued by a recipe for "Humdinger Hamburgers". For some reason, other than the corny name, I never gave them a try despite their relatively short smoking time, which makes them one of the easiest recipes in the book. I never put them out of mind and knew one day I'd see if they were as good as the book promised. Turns out, they were better.
If you want to smoke food, get this book.
Fast forward ten years. Our church was having its annual Men's Barbecue Competition and my friend Brian suggested we enter. We strategized about our entry. Tri-tip – tired and cliché: Ribs – also overdone and difficult to pull off at a remote location. We had done a prototype of smoked hamburgers a few months prior so we decided to try them in earnest for the competition. Risky? Yes, but we might as well go down swinging.
I admit I wanted to put as much wind in our sails as possible, so rather than buy pre-ground beef I bought a chuck roast and sirloin 'flap meat' (looks like skirt steak) to grind up fresh. Brian brought his son Sam over and we ground the meat on my Kitchen Aid grinder. We dusted the patties with a traditional barbecue spice and placed them in the smoker. While they smoked over oak wood Brian and Sam headed to the church to light our charcoal grill parked in the staging area. After 90 minutes of smoking I shuttled the burgers over to the church.
After the smoking period the patties had a stunning mahogany patina. Unlike a grilled patty that shrinks, tightens and balls up while cooking, these had shrunk very little. Combined with the raw looking interior, they looked undercooked but I'm convinced they had reached at least 135 degrees in the center. Regardless, we finished them over direct heat on the grill for a crispy exterior and to melt the cheese.
Gentle cooking = juicy meat and minimal shrinkage. Look at that color!
We wanted to win the contest and didn't know how these would turn out, so as an insurance policy we made sure the condiments were top shelf. Brian made a caramelized onion spread and I grilled red, orange and red bell peppers over an oak wood fire. We placed a roasted pepper on each patty and topped them with a slice of Tillamook black label aged white cheddar. We warmed the buns on the grill and gave them a smear of onion spread before laying the patties down. The flavor? Impossible to capture in words. Intense smokiness that didn't overpower the juicy beef flavor. The sweet peppers and tangy cheddar were perfect counterpoints. We called our entry "The Smoked Offering" because I felt like I should honor God for creating such transcendent flavors for us to discover (btw, we won the contest but our real reward was the burger).
I reported the results to my friend Tony who promptly made the 3.5 hour drive with his wife to our house to make smoked hamburgers. The photos on this post are from his visit. This time I simplified the process a little with good quality ground chuck from the butcher. Not a problem - we climbed Everest again.
Don't be fooled by the raw look. It's cooked through but with
incredible flavor, texture and juiciness.
I use a New Braunfels smoker but these can be made on a charcoal grill or probably a gas grill that has a little smoker box for chips. Just have the fire on one side, add chunks or chips of wood, cover and keep the temperature in the cooking area around 225 degrees. I recommend finishing the burgers for just a minute over direct heat. And please don't destroy them with "bbq sauce".

Graphtec Introduces Four New Wide-Format Color Scanners
Adds to CS series with CS500 and CS600
Western Graphtec has added to its CS series of wide-format scanners with the introduction of the CS500 and CS600 series scanners. Both offer a standard and pro model; the pro models feature high-quality and high-speed scanning modes. The scanners are designed for use by graphic arts, fine-art, photography, prepress, reprographics, and sign professionals.
The 42-in. wide, 24-bit color scanners offer top speeds of 9 ips in monochrome or 3 ips in 8- or 24-bit color at 400 dpi. Top optical resolution for standard models is 600 dpi and up to 800 dpi interpolated resolutions; pro models offer interpolated resolutions up to 4800 dpi.
One of the standout features of the CS600 scanner is its ability to scan rigid, thick originals"?up to 0.8 in. thick. This hands-free operation allows users to turn on the automatic Intelligent Thickness Adjustment mode, and place the original on the scanner; the machine recognizes the original's thickness and loads it automatically. The CS500 can scan flexible media up to 0.06 in. thick.
Both the CS500 and 600 models utilize Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology (also found in Graphtec's CS1000, CS2000, CS300, and CS400 series scanners) in place of the commonly used CCD scanning. This technology eliminates timeconsuming re-alignment and recalibration of the scanning device and means no warm-up time (scanners are ready to go within seconds of turning the power on).
In addition, the SC scanners incorporate a document-handling system to archive old drawings, maps, and other delicate graphic images. All Graphtec scanners include Scanning Master 21+ Driver software, which facilitates scanner control, enables post-scan editing and includes scan-to-file and scan-toprint, scan-to-e-mail, and scan-to-copy functions.
The scanners include FireWire and USB connections. All scanners are ready for shipping now. Expected pricing: CS500: $16,000; CS500 Pro: $18,000; CS600: $19,000; CS600 Pro: $21,000. Both CS500 and 600 models are upgradable to the Pro versions after purchase. (Western Graphtec:www.graphtecusa.com)

Title: Their Eyes Were Watching God
Author: Zora Neale Hurston
Date Finished: Feb 21, 2009 #8
Published: 1937 Pages: 184
Rating: 4.25/5
Well, I am happy to announce that my reader is now at zero. YAY!! And the classics challenge sign up is posted. And I'll finish my quilt in the next few days (maybe even today!!). I'm feeling much more settled and caught up. But, I'm going to Hawaii on Saturday…so I'm guessing it will be back to normal when I return (normal=chaos).
I can't believe I haven't read Their Eyes Were Watching God until now. I've read a handful of Hurston's short stories, and I've even seen the movie Oprah produced several years ago, but I never made time for the book. It's only 184 pages long, but the story contains so much depth.
Their Eyes Were Watching God begins when forty-year-old Janie returns to her hometown ragged and worn, wearing overalls and her hair swinging down her back. The town is all a flutter at her return, speculating that her last husband, Tea Cake, has left her and run with her money. Janie sits down with her best friend Pheoby and tells her the true story of what has happened. Her story includes three marriages, a lot of heartache and a lot of love. World's shortest summary, but because of the progressive nature of the story it is difficult to give more without spoilers.
The story is set during the Reconstruction era in the deep south. The characters are African American, so the themes of slavery and oppression and African American folklore are very prominent in the book. I loved the richness of this book and the language that Hurston uses to describe the feelings and emotions of the characters. On the other hand, she also writes in the vernacular of the people. At first this was difficult for me to read and it felt like I was trying to read a different language, but I finally got into the rhythm of the speech and the vernacular provided an extra layer of richness to the text.
Since I don't really want to go more into the actual story, I'll leave you with a few of my favorite lines (both to get a taste of the vernacular and Hurston's descriptions).
Granny speaking to Janie about going out with men:
"Ah don't want yo' feathers always crumpled by folks throwin' up things in yo' face. And Ah can't die easy thinkin' maybe de menfolks white or black is makin' a spit cup outa out: Have some sympathy fuh me. Put me down easy, Janie, Ah'm a cracked plate" (19).
Janie on her first marriage:
"She knew things that nobody had ever told her. For instance, the words of the trees and the wind. She often spoke to the falling seeds and said, "Ah hope you fall on soft ground," because she had heard seeds saying that to each other as they passed. She knew the world was a stallion rolling in the blue pasture of ether. She knew that God tore down the old world every evening and built a new one by sun-up…She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie's first dream was dead, so she became a woman" (24).
Janie on Tea Cake:
"She couldn't make him look just like any other man to her. He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom – a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God" (101).
Last line–maybe **spoiler**:
The kiss of his memory made pictures of love and light against the wall. Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see" (184).
Hope everyone's having a happy Sunday!

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the human anatomy department, you may consider Mankato State University immunizations as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

NRG® Deluxe Digital Professional Hot Stone Massage Warmer Heater - 18 qt
Digital Professional Hot Stone Massage Warmer Heater 18 Quart Digital control allows you to precisely control the temperature of your stones before, during and after the treatment. Warmer is roomy enough for a set of 50 stones and includes (1) silicone liner to absorb stone noise and protect your warming pan and (1) plastic stone skimmer to remove stones. Hot Stone Massage Warmer Heater Pan is porcelain coated for durability. Temperature range is 105°F to 160°F.
Hot Stone Massage Warmer Heater Specifications:
I have had this warmer for a few years and it is wonderful. I know exactly how hot the stones are and keep them right at the perfect temperature....no guessing.
This warmer is perfect. Its large enough to hold all my stones. It's not too heavy. I can visually see the exact temp of my stones. It heats up rapidly. I have zero complaints on this. We have had it for a year and a half and just ordered another one because we are doing so many hot stone massages.
Heats fast and accurate, very quiet with liner in bottom when removing stones, very happy with product.
Outside of unit becomes dangerously hot while the water inside takes an hour or more to heat up. And the digital temps are way off! When the digital says the water is 155 degrees (the hottest it will get), the water is actually less than 120 degrees.
The Stone Heater we ordered would not heat up. We returned it.

Shopping in Dubai isn't all about absolutely enormous shopping centres (but only just). We've also a got a few traditional-ish Arabian souks worthy of an afternoon's wander
Despite having a near-daft array of massive shopping centres, each with preposterous amounts of non-shopping activities inside (skiing, skydiving, the list goes on), we also have a few souks, the traditional Arabian markets, that are well worth an explore.
Now, these aren't like the vast souks of Damascus or the bazaars of Istanbul that have remained almost untouched for centuries, but are probably the closest thing you'll get to 'old Arabia' in a city only a few decades old. Most are situated down by the Dubai Creek, on the Bastakiya side and the Deira side, and can be explored in one pleasant afternoon, which should also feature a ride across the creek in one of the traditional wooden abra boats. One important thing to note is that the most of the shops in the souks are closed on Fridays.
The Textile Souk
Next to the Dubai Museum down by the Bastakiya (the 'old' part of town) and the Dubai Creek, this charming series of traditional looking alleyways house numerous shops selling material, but also various stalls for tourists flogging cheap clothing and tatty souvenirs. It's a great place to stock up on pashminas, which are handy (and inexpensive) gifts to take home. I heartily recommend interrupting your perusing of the shops with a stop at Bait Al Wakeel, a good local restaurant looking out over the creek.
Nearest hotel: Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa
The Spice Souk
Get an abra ride over the creek to the Deira side for one dirham, cross the road and you'll probably smell the spice souk before you see it. It's not the biggest of places, consisting of just a couple of lines of shops. But, even if you're not interested in picking up some cardamom pods or cinnamon sticks, it is definitely worth visiting and the shopkeepers will often invite you inside to smell the various herbs and spices.
Nearest hotel: Hilton Dubai Creek
The Gold Souk
Dubai's most famous souk sits further into Deira and about five minutes' walk from the Spice Souk. It is based around a covered, pedestrianised strip lined with shop windows glittering in all things golden. Even if you're not after something sparkly, it's still a good place to stroll around.
Nearest hotel: Hilton Dubai Creek
Souk Madinat Jumeirah
OK, so this isn't really a souk, but a purpose-built Arabian-themed souk-a-like that forms part of the sprawling Madinat Jumeirah complex down by the coast. Don't go expecting traditional stalls, but shops selling toy camels and international coffee chains. It's quite nice for a stroll though, and has a huge selection of restaurants and bars sat by the (fake) Venetian-style waterways, plus a great beach at the back (but you can only use it if you're staying in one of the Madinat's three hotels). Unlike the real souks, this is open every day.
Nearest hotel: Al Qasr

The Rev. Lawrence "Larry" A. Lucree, a Catholic priest in the Diocese of Savannah for more than 50 years, died Monday at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus after a long illness.
He was 77.
Lucree, a Savannah native, was named a monsignor by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
He was a graduate of Benedictine Military School.
Lucree was ordained at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah on May 7, 1960, by then-Bishop Thomas J. McDonough. He said when he became an altar server at the age of 7 he decided he wanted to become a priest, and he never changed his mind.
He ministered in 10 different Georgia cities, including Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Albany, Jesup, Valdosta, Lakeland, Cordele, Statesboro and Americus. He considered rural missions one of the most fulfilling aspects of his ministry. He established missions in Springfield and Buena Vista.
Included in his ministries in Savannah were assistant at the Cathedral, May 1960-August 1960; assistant rector Cathedral, February 1962-September 1966; rector, Cathedral, April 6, 1967- Sept. 4, 1970. Aug. 15, 1974- July 13, 1976.
He also served as pastor at St. Matthew's in Statesboro from July 14, 1976-Aug. 25, 1988.
Another highlight was encouraging young Georgia men to consider pursuing a religious vocation. He also traveled to Colombia, South America, seeking to recruit candidates for the priesthood.
Visitation and a vigil service were planned for Thursday at St. Mary Church in Americus, which became his home parish in retirement.
A viewing will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, followed by a funeral mass at 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Catholic Cemetery.

When I was young, the pricing of stock options and other derivatives seemed like an obscure black art. Then one day Don Brown showed me a simple example that made everything crystal clear. Today I'll share an even simpler version of Don's example.
Imagine a stock that sells for $10 today. A year from now it will be worth either $20 or $5. (Yes, I know that real-world stocks have a wider range of possible future prices. That's why I called this a simple example.) What would you pay for an option that allows you to buy the stock next year at today's $10 price?
You might think you'd need a whole lot more information to answer that question. You might expect, for example, that the answer depends on the probability that the stock price will go up to $20 rather than down to $5. You might expect the answer to depend on how much traders are willing to pay for a given dollop of risk-avoidance.
But the amazing fact is that none of that matters. The only extra bit of information you need is the interest rate.
Let's assume, for example, that the interest rate happens to be 25%. (Yes, I know that's unrealistic.)
Now let's price the option. The key is to focus on my imaginary cousin Jeter, who never buys stock options. Jeter happened to wake up with $12 in his pocket today. Then he went out, borrowed $8, and used his $20 to buy 2 shares of stock.
A year from now, one of two things will happen. Either Jeter will get lucky, sell his 2 shares for $40, use $10 to repay his debt ($8 plus $2 interest), and pocket $30. Or he'll get unlucky, sell his 2 shares for $10, use that $10 to repay his debt, and pocket $0.
Edit: Thanks to those who caught the typos in the above paragraph. I think they're fixed now.
I, on the other hand, bought 3 stock options today. A year from now, one of two things will happen. Either I will get lucky and use my 3 options to buy 3 shares of $20 stock at a price of $10 each, pocketing a $30 profit. Or I will get unlucky and the stock price will plumment, in which case I will throw my option away and pocket $0.
In other words, Jeter and I are guaranteed exactly the same outcome next year. Either the stock price goes up, and we each pocket $30, or it goes down and we each pocket $0. In that strong sense, Jeter's strategy and mine are perfectly interchangeable.
Jeter's strategy costs him $12 out of pocket. Therefore my strategy must also cost $12 out of pocket — otherwise, nobody would ever pursue the pricier strategy. Since buying 3 stock options costs $12, the price of a single option must be $4. Problem solved.
Of course the real world presents far trickier scenarios, with stocks that can go up or down by any amount at any instant, and options that can be exercised at the time of your choice. But the trick for pricing these options is always the same: First invent an imaginary cousin Jeter who buys and sells only assets whose prices are already known. Devise a strategy for Jeter that mimics the value of the option under every conceivable circumstance. Devising that strategy can be a difficult technical exercise, but it's not impossible. Now figure out what that strategy costs, and you've got the price of your option.
There are practical pitfalls galore. For starters, how do you account for the cost of trading, or for the fact that some of us have access to better interest rates than others? That's why there's still work to be done in this area. But ultimately, there's just one big idea, and if you grasp this simple example, you've mastered it.

Happy Sunday. While fall temperatures are upon us, the wealth of figs at the store got my husband thinking about fig ice cream. We had fantastic fig gelato when we lived in New York, so last weekend set out to recreate a vegan version. The first try was amazing, so I am sharing it with you all here. The coconut flavor is subtle but adds a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the fig.
Black Mission Fig Coconut Ice Cream (Gluten-Free, Vegan, Soy-Free) – Makes 2 cups
With ice creams, I tend to go for easy – namely I avoid gums or stabilizers or cooking the fruit down. The upside is that all you need is a chilled can of coconut milk, your other ingredients, a blender and an ice cream maker. The downside is that sometimes these ice creams get a bit icy after chilling in the freezer and need to sit out for a few minutes prior to scooping. As for substitutions for the figs, my understanding is that Black Mission Figs are from California and fairly easy to find this time of year around the U.S., but I am not sure about other countries. My experience with brown figs is that they tend to not be as sweet, so you may want to adjust your sweetener if you do not use Black Mission Figs.
- 1 pound fresh Black Mission Fig (about 14-18 figs depending on size)
- 1 14 fl oz can coconut milk, chilled for at least two hours (I used organic full-fat coconut milk from Thai Kitchen)
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coconut nectar
Remove fig stems and cut in half. Scoop out flesh of fig and discard skin. You should end up with about 1 1/2 cups fig flesh. Place in blender with remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to directions. I found this batch of ice cream only took 10 minutes in my ice cream maker, but I suspect that may vary depending on your ice cream maker.
Serve topped with lemon zest, cacao nibs or sliced fresh figs.
I am submitting this recipe to several blog events:
WWellness Weekend, hosted by Ricki of Diet, Desserts and Dogs. The concept behind Wellness Weekends (now a year-round event!) is "any good-for-you, whole foods, especially those with antioxidant properties or "functional foods" (ie, offering naturally medicinal or health-promoting qualities–such as garlic, coconut oil, all vegetables, fruits, herbs, etc.)." Here we have figs, which are a good source of potassium and calcium, as well as coconut, which provides several health benefits.
A blog event hosted by Flip Cookbook called Sugar Free Sunday, which includes sweet and savory dishes made with non-refined sugars.
Gluten-Free Wednesday at the Gluten-Free Homemaker
And an blog-hope event I was invited to participate in on the Fave Diets Blog that starts on Thursday.

EvLog 3.0 Monitor an unlimited number of servers with $49/year
With the current low prices for servers and the need for processing power, even a small company may end up with quite a few of them. If ten years ago it was still common to see an entire company using just one server, these days that's no longer the case.
New computers are added to the network with the understanding that they will be taken care of by the admins. Keeping an eye on these servers is a tedious, time-consuming process. Even with 5 minutes per server (to check the logs and other parameters), it may take an hour to make sure that everything is ok and no "red lights" are blinking on any of the servers.

|Type: Error
The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.

If you have ever modified the SystemPages setting under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management (perhaps as suggested by ME304101 in response to delayed write failures) you may have unwittingly caused your memory pool problems all on your own (just as I did).
Entering a manual value in SystemPages can cause the OS to run out of paged pool memory, generating errors 2019 and 2021.
Even if you modified the SystemPages value with a new value, then set it back to the old value, you can still cause this error (just as I did.) The OS requires this setting to be 0, for automatic calculation. Setting it manually overrides the OS'' ability to automatically calculate a value. More info on the setting is here: T976159.
So, change SystemPages to 0 and restart the box, and your problem will disappear.

From a newsgroup post: "Open your registry and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters. Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, named "IRPstackSize" and set it to equal the required stack size between 1 and 12, the default is 4. Restart Windows for the change to take effect". See the link to EV100076 - "Change the IRP Stack Size" for more details.

As per Microsoft: "This problem may occur when the Single Instance Storage driver (Sis.sys) leaks the NtFC nonpaged pool memory while the driver processes an alternative stream. This alternative stream may be generated by a third-party program". See ME950310 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

This problem occurs because the DFS service does not manage the allocated nonpaged pools very well. When allocated nonpaged pools are not managed well, memory leaks may occur. The DFS domain root server stops responding because the system nonpaged pool is empty. See ME938666 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
This issue may occur because a Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider or a third-party WMI provider exceeds values that are set for the MemoryPerHost or HandlesPerHost properties. These values are defined in the __ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration class of the root namespace. See ME895477 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003.
This event might occur when you run a custom Winsock network program that uses the Winsock Select function. See ME917114 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
If you receive this event with Norton AntiVirus for Windows NT (NAVNT) and Auto-Protect running, see the link to "Symantec Knowledge Base Document ID: 1999048654612044".

I used the memsnap tool to diagnose my problem, which I found to be more useful than poolmon. Try running the following commands:
memsnap /m memsnap.log
memsnap /a memsnap.log
Memsnap led me to spoolvs.exe as the problem. I then turned off the print spool to confirm it as the problem. In the end, the problem turned out to be caused by a third-party process by Canon, which was leaking memory. See the link to "Memsnap Overview" for information on this tool.

According to ME821546, this problem has been identified as an issue that affects Visual Basic 6.0 n-Tier applications that are using COM+ packages that have been exported as an "Application Proxy" and installed on a client "Citrix" server. The "Authenticated Users" group must be given the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right. This can be achieved in Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
Without the right the "Services.exe" process (which runs the COM+/DCOM sub system) will start to eat up Non-Paged Pool memory until it is gone, causing the Server to quit responding. This error is logged to the system event log.
To resolve this issue, identify the user account that is used to run the AFS Packages, and then assign the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right to that user account. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
2. Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
3. In the right pane, double-click Impersonate a client after authentication.
4. In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
5. In the Select Users or Group dialog box, click the user account that you want to add, click Add, and then click OK. (Adding the user group "Authenticated Users" fixed our issue.
6. Click OK.

This issue is commonly misdiagnosed, however, 90% of the time it is actually quite possible to determine the resolution quickly without any serious effort at all. See the link to "Understanding Pool Consumption and Event ID: 2020 or 2019" for more information.

In my case, this problem occured after installing the HP2430DTN printer. Reloading Printer Drivers for PCL 5E & PCL 6 as suggested by HP did not help. Shutting down the print spool service and restarting it solved the problem.

Your Windows 2000-based server may start to run very slowly, and it may eventually stop responding (hang). See ME833266 to find out why this happens.
If you are using ISA Server then you should look at ME321844.
A computer that is running Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server with the 3Com 1807 hardware driver or 3Com port driver (3c1807.sys) may experience this problem. See ME312021 to find out how to fix this problem.
If you are running Norton Antivirus 2000 suite on Windows 2000, this may be the cause of your problem. Users have reported that removing the Antivirus has helped them to get rid of this error. Try to install a newer version of NAV.
This problem might occur because of a memory leak in the code of the Volume Shadow Copy Service backup infrastructure. See ME826751 for a hotfix.
Check ME822219 for additional information on fixing this error.
You can also use the Memory Pool Monitor (Poolmon.exe) from Microsoft to troubleshoot kernel mode memory leaks.
From a newsgroup post: "We had exactly the same problem several months ago. It was our main SQL server, so when we could not find the solution we placed a call to Microsoft. They told us that the article ME133384 does apply to NT4.0, not just to 3.51. In our case, it turned out that ARCServe was not freeing up memory after running a backup every night, so that was the source of our leak. Follow the instructions in ME133384 and you will find your culprit".
From a newsgroup post: "After using MemTriage I tracked the problem down to the Promise Array Management software (PAM). PAM consists of two server processes msgsvr.exe and msgagt.exe. One of these was continuously allocating memory but never releasing any back. I've uninstalled the Promise s/w and the NP Pool usage is now pretty constant. The version of PAM that caused this is 3.2.1, build 13".

I recently went rounds trying to troubleshoot this issue. None of the solutions worked for my server. The problem ended up being the cache on our SAN. One of the drives went out, which apparently disabled the cache for the SAN. We have an EMC FC4700. After determining the problem was that I/O's were backing up because the disk system couldn't fill the requests quickly enough, I decided to take a look at our SAN even log. Sure enough, one of the drives was offline. After replacing the drive, the system returned to a normal state. Article ME317249 was helpful, but ultimately, I had to find the component responsible for the I/O backup. For those encountering this problem, it would be worthwhile checking cache for RAID or SAN devices and ensure the disk subsystem is in an optimal state.

As per Microsoft: "A memory leak may occur in an application that uses the Volume Shadow Copy service on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. This problem occurs because of a memory leak in cryptographic services (Cryptsvc.dll). Any application that is using cryptographic services, such as the Volume Shadow Copy service, may experience this problem". I experienced this problem using Veritas Backup Exec. Installing the hotfix ME870973 will resolve this problem.

I got this error on one of my DCs with Windows 2000 SP4. The problem turned out to be a memory leak in the TDI driver from McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0.i. A memory leak occurred in non-paged pool memory when accessing files via the network redirector. The TDI driver did not released memory that had been allocated for identifying Source IP information. See the link to Network Associates Support Solution ID: KB38267 for details on fixing this issue.

Under certain circumstances, heavy usage of particular programs can cause non-paged pool memory to become exhausted. This can happen due to various reasons. Some of these problems are fixed by Windows 2000 Service Pack 2. See the links below for some examples.
See ME317249 on how to troubleshoot this type of events as they typicall occur when the Server service cannot process the requested network I/O items to the hard disk quickly enough to prevent the Server service from running out of resources.
As per ME226513, this may be caused by a Memory Leak within the Server service. It should've been fixed by SP 6.
As per Microsoft: "Nonpaged pool pages cannot be paged out to the Paging File, but instead remain in main memory as long as they are allocated. An application is probably incorrectly making system calls and using up all allocated nonpaged pool. You might also see the following error on a local or remote system: Not enough storage available to process this command.
To find the faulty application, use the Performance Monitor to look at each
application's nonpaged pool allocation. As an alternative, monitor the system with a utility such as PMON.EXE from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit."

As per Microsoft: "This behavior can occur because the kernel-mode tag, Dynamic Access Protocol version 4 (DAP4), is leaking memory. This tag is provided by 3com. The tag is a driver that is loaded into the computer for the 3Com 3C980C-TXM network adapter.". See ME294346
Trent Kaiser
In Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 the windows proxy service leaks memory when a USRobotics PCI 56K faxmodem is installed with the drivers from the box. On a system with 512meg of ram it takes about 15 hours for the nonpaging pool to be exhausted. Downloading updated drivers from the USR web site seems to fix the problem.

I got this error on one of my DC with Windows 2k SP3. I got a Memory Leak which was caused by Open File Manager 7.x (see the service OFMNT.exe using pmon.exe). This program is supposed to allow the backup of open files. Since I stopped this service, I have no more this problem. The new version 8.1 of OFM behaves without creating a memory leak which leaves you the choice to upgrade or uninstall OFM 7.x.

Affordable clean hostel Aug 31, 2010
Alberg Pere Tarrés was my first hostel experience and it was great! I had been very accustom to staying in Hotels when traveling on vacation. I had heard of hostels before and didn't really think I'd be comfortable with a room full of strangers. My best friend and I planned our trip to Europe and he suggested Alberg Pere Tarrés . He had stayed in Hostel before on international trips and said he'd never really had to many serious issues so I figured I'd give it a try.
Alberg Pere Tarrés was clean and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful with calling cabs for us and giving us directions to and from the subway, and also letting us know of different places we might want to check out in Barcelona. The morning staff all spoke English and were very helpful and welcoming. We paid only 23 euro a night, for an 8 person room to witch most of the time was never full.
Alberg Pere Tarrés also offers a FREE small breakfast buffet in the morning, and it's great for budget traveling. They also do an inexpensive lunch as well for only 5 euros. And if you're on the run they'll also pack a lunch for you to go
The only negative I had about the hostel was the free wireless can only be used in the lobby. Also at night the hostel uses a different staff, usually only one person and not as friendly or helpful as the morning staff and usually only speaks Spanish or Catalan, but its not to bad
I plan on most definitely staying here again when in Barcelona, And I would strongly recommend it to someone that needs a nice cheap inexpensive place to rest while in Barcelona.

The Spring at Fort Belle Fontaine
Two views of the fountain that gives this historic site its name, Fort Belle Fontaine. The fort built by French explorer St Ange was located several miles to the east. General Wilkinson selected this spot and built the first American fort west of the Mississippi River here due, in large part, to this source of fresh clear drinking water.
