BSOD watching netflix. Now cannot boot up comp. Error msg attached.
Hey everybody,
I was recently watching netflix on my desktop and got a BSOD. I hadn't had any problems with my computer for months. I attempted to restart the computer, and was able to do so. However, upon restarting, I noticed that there were several problems with various components. For example, the resolution on the screen was very poor (looked like safe mode), the computer could not connect to the network, and the sound was not working. Then I got a message saying my copy of windows 7 was not genuine (I payed for it and it is genuine). I restarted the computer several more times in normal mode, got another BSOD, and then tried starting it up in safe mode. I tried to restore the computer to an earlier timepoint using windows backup and restore, but this did not help. Now I cannot even get into safe mode. The following message pops up:

HERSHEY-Hershey stayed undefeated on Friday night after smashing Bayard 30-6 at Summers Field.
It was another stellar defensive effort for the Panthers (5-0) as the only touchdown Bayard (2-3) had came on a kick return.
"I really enjoy watching our kids play defense and would not enjoy trying to call plays against them,"Hershey coach Ryan Smith said. "Our defensive line sets the tone, our linebackers are fast, aggressive, and physical. Our secondary has played some really solid football all year long."
Hershey also had a big game offensively, as well, by putting up over 400 yards of total offense. The Panthers got most of those yards on the ground. Gaige Marshall ran for 255 yards on 26 carries.
"Our offensive line, obviously, controlled things up front all night long," Smith said.
Next week, Hershey plays on the road at Dundy County-Stratton, who is 1-4 with their only win coming against Perkins County.
"We're excited to get district play started next week and it will be interesting to see how things play out for us," Smith said.

Bengal gang rape victim shifted to short stay home: Minister
The 20-year-old tribal woman who was gang raped by over a dozen men in West Bengal's Birbhum district last month has been sent to a short stay home at an undisclosed location after release from a local hospital, a minister said Saturday.
"It was her wish to go to her maternal uncle's home at Chouhata village and to be released from hospital. However, at her uncle's place... there is just land there, and no house has been constructed. So, for the time being, she is boarding at a short stay home," state Woman and Child Welfare Minister Shashi Panja said.
The minister supervised the shift of the victim to the home from the Suri Sadar Hospital where she was admitted following the Jan 20 sexual assault in Subalpur village in the district. The woman was discharged from the hospital Friday.
"Her counselling will continue and her security will be taken care of. Her mother is also with her. We are thinking of her future and how to make her self-sufficient," the minister said.
The woman was raped by more than a dozen men following the orders of a kangaroo court which found her "guilty of having an affair with a man outside her community".
Officials of the district administration as well as of the woman and child welfare department have been in constant touch with the victim.
Thirteen people, including the village headman who ordered the brutality, are behind bars.
The Supreme Court, which took suo motu cognisance of the case, has sought reports from the state government.

Top 10 World Music Albums Of 2012
This list is almost entirely African, drawn from my work this year with Afropop Worldwide. (I've resisted including wild cards like the Sambadunda Quartet's Java and Bonnie Raitt's Slipstream, tempting as they are.) What strikes me about my favorite African releases this year is that, for the most part, they don't come from the usual suspects — Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, etc. A youthful strain of techno-Afropop from acts like The Very Best and Janka Nabay is clearly ascendant. It's taken time for me to warm to this tech-roots approach, but both these acts have produced delightfully musical albums. That said, I'm still kind of an old-school, dance band kind of guy at heart, hence my nod to Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars and Staff Benda Bilili — both bands that rode to glory on the strength of documentary films about them, but have now claimed more lasting fame with great music. Mokoomba, a fiery young band from Zimbabwe, is a discovery, the most promising new act out of southern Africa in awhile. Again, they break the standard mold, coming from one of Zimbabwe's smallest and least known ethnic groups, the Tonga.
Debo Band stands out among an ever-improving contingent of U.S.-based African music bands, even as they specialize in a 40-year old music style from Ethiopia. The global culture blender continues to crank out intriguing hybrids. (All hail K'Naan!) But for my money, it's still hard to top the coherence, idiosyncratic logic, and deeply settled perfection of well-worn local styles, like salegy from Madagascar, or cumbia and champeta from Colombia.
Top 10 World Music Albums Of 2012
Debo Band, "Debo Band"
- Song: Tenesh Kelbe Lay
This Boston-based band is the brainchild of saxophonist Danny Mekonnen, an Ethiopian who grew up in America and discovered the funky, moody, wildly innovative music of Addis Ababa in the early '70s just like the rest of us — through recordings. But the band he's put together — more like an orchestra, with strings, horns, accordion, guitar, percussion and more — is no tribute act. There are adaptations of traditional and pop classics from Ethiopia, but also adventurous original compositions and flights of wild improvisation worthy of free jazz. Lead vocalist Bruck Tesfaye kicks things over the top with his wavering wail, delivering the ambiance of the most kicking wedding band you ever heard.
Staff Benda Bilili, "Bouger Le Monde!"
- Song: Kuluna/Gangs
Back in days of the early '90s Afropop wave, some of the most successful acts on the international circuit came from one of Africa's most ruined places: Kinshasa, Congo (then Zaire). But the Congo sound grew ever more bloated with Paris recording studio trickery and the music seemed to lose its pull. This unlikely band, mostly consisting of disabled polio victims, has reclaimed the charm and natural musicianship of old. Spare, seductive dance grooves, gorgeous male vocal arranging, lyrical guitar work, and some surprising touches — like the home-made, one-string fiddle that takes most of the leads — make for one of the most appealing Congolese releases in years.
K'Naan, "Country God Or The Girl"
- Song: Simple
The Somali-born rapper has been complaining publicly about label interference on this, his third CD. Just the same, it continues his unique cross-genre approach, in which dark raps drawn from his violent childhood in Somalia magically morph into uplifting, anthem-like vocal refrains. The raps are sharp and funny, the hooks catchy and easy to sing. Guests ranging from Nelly Furtado and Nas to Bono and Keith Richards shine without overshadowing. K'Naan's wit, depth and musicality and would surely have produced a great album on their own. But even with meddling, this is as interesting a pop album as you'll find this year.
Ondatrópica, "Ondatrópica"
- Song: Locomotora Borracha
Leaving Africa for a moment, here's a real standout on the rootsy side of Afro-Latin music. Ondatropica began as a 3-week recording session in Medellin, Colombia, with over 40 musicians representing three generations, all united by a deep love for their country's amazing "tropical" music traditions. There's a bit of rapping, a lot of sweet singing, and heavy, often brassy, doses of Colombian salsa, and, especially, the irresistible lope of cumbia. This double CD pops on every track — totally transporting, and further evidence that Colombia is a country whose profile in international music scenes is all upside.
Zani Diabaté Et Les Heritiers, "Tientalaw"
- Song: Ni Zani Mana
A magnificent closing set from a brilliant guitar innovator of Mali. Diabaté died suddenly while recording this set accompanied by his own son, and the sons of fellow bandmates in the act that first established him back in the '80s — The Super Djata Band. (Hence this band's name, "The Heirs.") Diabaté's signature electric guitar breaks are as riveting as ever. The execution and arrangements are a little slicker these days, but that's no slam. This is an electrifying, classy set of roots pop from Mali, deeply informed by a wealth of cultural knowledge. The plink of balafons, rolling percussion rhythms, searing vocals, and stinging blasts from Diabaté's guitar will linger long beyond much of today's gleaming, ephemeral Afropop.
The Very Best, "MTMTMK"
- Song: We OK
A collaboration between Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya and Swedish DJ/mixmaster Johan Karlberg, this act has settled into a confident groove on its second CD. The joyous lyricism and dark mystery of African music merge with club-ready sonics and electro beats, with pleasing results. Terrific pop hooks help a lot, as do inspired vocal cameos from singers known and unknown (K'Naan on "We Ok," Seye on "Kondaine"). Edgy subject matter — war, rejection, poverty — rub up against the music's celebratory vibe and the result is a persuasive expression of a savvy, youthful African sensibility that feels absolutely of-the-moment.
Jaojoby, "Mila Anao"
- Song: Manantany
Salegy is a guitar-and-accordion-driven dance music from the northwest coast of Madagascar. Eusebe Jaojoby, leader of this veteran band, has lived the history, from the music's early spread around the Indian Ocean island in the '70s to its international rise in subsequent decades. His band delivers the shuffling 12/8 grooves of salegy with majestic assuredness — richly harmonized vocals, driving rhythms, a poignant blend of melancholy and (mostly) uplift, and idiosyncratic, virtuoso guitar playing. Jaojoby's warm, husky lead vocal is undiminished after more than 40 years at the microphone. Deft acoustic and electric guitar work by his son, Elie Lucas, is a big plus.

In August Riverhead Books added to its literary roster Claire Vaye Watkins and her debut story collection, Battleborn, a title derived from the motto on Nevada's state flag. "Battle Born" refers to the fact that Nevada joined the Union during the Civil War, in 1864, and in Watkins's book the motto suggests the state's history as well. All the stories are set there or just west, across the border in California, some in the present day, tinged with the glitz and despair of Las Vegas and the smaller towns that orbit it. Others take place in the past and are set in the area's more remote locations—during the gold rush in the Sierra Nevadas. But along with capturing Nevada's place as part of the mythic West, the stories express something larger.
They are distinctly American in their exploration of our desire to re-create ourselves, to follow the same impulses that have driven generations westward in search of freedom and fortune, those that have led to our greatest triumphs and our deepest failures. Riverhead editor Rebecca Saletan, who won the hotly contested auction for the book, says that Watkins's writing is distinguished by "a blend of toughness and tenderness—an attention to 'ordinary people' that refuses to sentimentalize or miniaturize or flatten them, a sense of scope that refuses to accept the usual dichotomy between the ambitious and important on the one hand, and the minute and human-scale. The stories are both, and that is deeply satisfying, and much rarer than it should be."
When literary agent Nicole Aragi encountered Watkins's writing, she was immediately drawn to her "incredible ability to write about place and landscape," an American landscape, she says, that she hadn't read before. Aragi, whose clients include Junot Díaz, Jonathan Safran Foer, Colson Whitehead, Edwidge Danticat, and Hannah Tinti, first read Watkins's work in the winter of 2008, in an online supplement to Granta's "Fathers" issue. "It was a very short piece about her sister and her father in the desert. It was so powerful. The way you got everything: siblings, her relationship with her father, family history, landscape…I still can't believe she did so much in such a short piece. And I thought, 'This is a storyteller.'"
Watkins, twenty-eight, is an assistant professor at Bucknell University, a private liberal arts college in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The place couldn't be more different from Pahrump, Nevada, near the southeastern edge of Death Valley, where she grew up. "Writers and sculptors and costume designers and filmmakers—every single person in my family and extended family, they're all artists," says Watkins. Along with practicing art—her mother was a photographer and her father a musician—her parents ran the Shoshone Museum, a tourist destination that showcased the natural and cultural history of the Death Valley area and sold maps, gems, jewelry, and other local trinkets.
What brought her parents to the Mojave Desert…now that's a story. Or is it? Yes, because for Americans it intersects with one of the darker events that capped the end of the psychedelic sixties. And no, because for Watkins the story doesn't get her any closer to understanding the truth about her father, who died when she was six years old.
But here goes: At seventeen, Watkins's father, Paul, originally from the Los Angeles area, met and befriended Charles Manson, eventually becoming a member of the Manson Family. Some versions of the story have it that he was, for a time, Manson's right-hand man. Manson sent Watkins to the remote area of Death Valley to scout locations for the family to hide out from "Helter Skelter," Manson's term for the racial war he predicted would wreak havoc on American society. Watkins became increasingly wary of Manson, requesting at one point to be officially relieved of his duties to the family. He was in Death Valley when the brutal Tate–LaBianca murders took place, and eventually testified against Manson during the ensuing trials.
Drawn to the landscape, Paul Watkins ended up staying in the area, where he met and settled down with Claire's mother, who moved there from Las Vegas, where she'd been raised and had worked into her twenties.
Watkins first learned about her father's connection to the Manson Family from the book Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Family (Norton, 1974) by Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecuting attorney for the trial. "I was in grade school. My sister came home crying from school because some kid had been teasing her and saying our dad was a murderer. She was really upset, and when our mom got home from work, we confronted her about it. She gave us Helter Skelter, which was on our bookshelf. She said, 'I'll tell you, he didn't kill anyone, but if you want to know more about it, then read this.' So we looked him up in the index and read it."
For Watkins, her father's involvement in the Manson Family doesn't really shed light on who he was. It's an anecdote from his past, but it is only one of the ways she's come to know him. "It is the cache of information—especially media—that I have of him: books and news clips and all that. There's this process of layering information and history and facts and knowledge on oneself and yet feeling like you don't have any better sense of who you are than when you started. That's probably close to how I feel about the Manson business."

"These are the circumstances under which we meet sixteen-year-old Rhoda Strong, the daughter of a sweetly morose Scotsman and his formidable Lumbee wife. Rhoda is fiercely loyal to her family but is also fiercely in love with young Henry Berry Lowrie, who, although being hunted as an outlaw, is cut of heroic cloth and is, finally, a man whose moral fiber dictates his every move."
"At the heart of the story are spirited eighteen-year-old Constance Armstrong and her childhood friend, Frank Stringfellow. Constance, strong and intelligent, supports her family by running a bookstore. Two Rebels and a Yankee vie for her affection amidst the chaos of war. Frank, an irrepressible daredevil, becomes a scout and spy for J.E.B. Stuart and undertakes countless hair-raising adventures.
"On and off the battlefield, Marching Through Culpeper exposes the human side of such heroes as John Pelham, J.E.B. Stuart, A.P. Hill, and George Armstrong Custer. This rich tapestry of life in a war-torn community is a story of the human spirit and the power of love."
The Civil War threatens to destroy the romance between a Harvard-educated Cherokee Indian and the daughter of a Union officer, in a fast-paced novel... .
The sequel to The Proud and the Free.
"Before there were The Killer Angels and Gods and Generals there was Andersonville. MacKinlay Kantor won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1955 for this novel, an epic account of the notorious prison camp in Macon County, Georgia. Though many of his characters are fictional, many are based on historical figures. Even some of the minor characters who appear as suffering prisoners of war are historical. Writing in the early fifties it was perhaps inevitable that Kantor drew subtle echoes of the Nazi concentration camps as he told this grim story of the greatest of Confederate war crimes. Kantor spent most of his life studying and writing about the Civil War. His emphasis was always on the small-town, ordinary citizens confronted with the horrors of Civil War.'
When their two sons meet as West Point cadets, the southern, plantation-owning Main family and the industrialist Hazards of Pennsylvania find their lives interlocked, as the nation moves toward Civil War.
Continues with Love and War and Heaven and Hell.
Lincoln is the cornerstone of Gore Vidal's fictional American chronicle, which includes Burr, 1876, Empire, Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and The Golden Age.
"It opens early on a frozen winter morning in 1861, when President-elect Abraham Lincoln slips into Washington, flanked by two bodyguards. The future president is in disguise, for there is talk of a plot to murder him. During the next four years there will be numerous plots to murder this man who has sworn to unite a disintegrating nation. Isolated in a ramshackle White House in the center of a proslavery city, Lincoln presides over a fragmenting government as Lee's armies beat at the gates. In this profoundly moving novel, a work of epic proportions and intense human sympathy, Lincoln is observed by his loved ones and his rivals. The cast of characters is almost Dickensian: politicians, generals, White House aides, newspapermen, Northern and Southern conspirators, amiably evil bankers, and a wife slowly going mad. Vidal's portrait of the president is at once intimate and monumental, stark and complex, drawn with the wit, grace, and authority of one of the great historical novelists."
Part of Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series.
Spoiled Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara never stops loving the married Ashley Wilkes even as she faces the hardships of life during the Civil War and the changes brought about by Reconstruction.
Duncan Gatewood, seventeen and heir to Gatewood Plantation, falls in love with Maggie, a mulatto slave, who conceives a son, Jacob. Maggie and Jacob are sold south, and Duncan is packed off to the Virginia Military Institute—he will eventually fight for Robert E. Lee. Another Gatewood slave, Jesse—whose love for Maggie is unrequited—escapes to find her. Jesse finds his freedom and enlists in Mr. Lincoln's army; in time he will confront his former masters.
"April 12, 1861. Bright, gutsy and young,Geneva Chatfield marries Nash Hart in Albemarle County, Virginia, the same day Fort Sumter's guns fire the start of the Civil War. Five days later she loses him as Nash joins the Confederate Army. Geneva, who is known as the best rider since Light Horse Harry Lee, cuts her hair, dons a uniform, enlists as 'Jimmy Chatfield,' then rides off to be with her beloved Nash. But sensitive Nash recoils in horror from the violence of war, while Geneva is invigorated by the chase and the fight. Can she be all the man her husband isn't? She'll sure as hell try. But there is a complication, and his name is Major "Mars" Vickers. This macho major, to his own shock and amazement, finds himself inexplicably attracted to the young soldier named 'Jimmy.' And this is only the beginning of a novel that moves with sureness and grace from the ferocity of battle to the struggle on the homefront, and brings passion and sly humor to a story of dawning love."
"The year is 1861. The American Civil War has just begun, and London arms dealer Daniel Albertson is becoming a very wealthy man as emissaries from both sides of the conflict rush to purchase his wares. The quiet dinner party held by Albertson and his beautiful wife seems remote indeed from the passions rending America. Yet investigator William Monk and his bride, Hester, sense growing tensions and barely concealed violence in this well-appointed mansion. For two of the guests are Americans, each vying to buy Albertson's armaments. Philo Trace, the Southerner, is both charming and intelligent, but a defender of slavery. Northerner Lyman Breelove is a disturbing blend of political zealot and personal reserve--to whom Albertson's teenage daughter has pledged her heart. Soon Monk and Hester's forebodings are fulfilled. For within this group, one is brutally murdered in a cruel ritualistic fashion, and two others disappear--along with Albertson's entire inventory of weapons."

About the Cause
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)3. Proceeds from the San Francisco Snow Ball will support athletes in all disciplines of the U.S. Ski Team, U.S. Snowboarding and U.S. Freeskiing, the only teams on the international circuit that receive no federal funding. 100% of the monies raised will help fund year-round athlete training, competition, development and educational needs in the crucial years leading up to the next Olympic Winter Games.
No athlete becomes an Olympian on his or her own. It requires a network of dedicated coaches, teammates and supporters. The USSA has a proud tradition of being supported by funding from generous Americans. This extraordinary tradition is shared by few other countries in the world. Just like every second, every step, and every shot counts in the Olympics, so does every contribution to the Team. With the next Olympics only months away, now is a crucial time to raise awareness to ensure the athletes are fully prepared to represent our country in Sochi, Russia.

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home–and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.
Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin–a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.
I'll be honest, the cover is not my favorite, but this sounds incredibly awesome! This is quoted on the author's site too which heightens my interest even more:

The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless.
The essayist samples more than a D.J.: a loop of the epic here, a little lyric replay there, all with a signature scratch on top.
It seems that, even in the proliferation of new forms of writing and communication before us, the essay has become a talisman of our times. What is behind our attraction to it? Is it the essay's therapeutic properties? Because it brings miniature joys to its writer and its reader? Because it is small enough to fit in our pocket, portable like our own experiences?
I believe that the essay owes its longevity today mainly to this fact: the genre and its spirit provide an alternative to the dogmatic thinking that dominates much of social and political life in contemporary America. In fact, I would advocate a conscious and more reflective deployment of the essay's spirit in all aspects of life as a resistance against the zealous closed-endedness of the rigid mind. I'll call this deployment "the essayification of everything." Read more…

James Pethokoukis
Politics and policy from inside Washington
The big hole in Obama's budget plan
Did the White House A/V dude load the wrong file into Obama's teleprompter? While the president's class-warfare attack on Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" would probably have earned rousing applause at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner, the speech failed to accomplish its advertised purpose: outlining Obama's long-term blueprint to avoid a debt crisis.
Even if a) his doubling-down on Obamacare's unproven cost controls works and b) his trillion-dollar tax increases don't slow the economy, this new plan only stabilizes government debt as a share of the economy for maybe a dozen years. After that, the march to financial crisis continues apace.
Of course, if Obama had actually offered a multi-decade blueprint, like Ryan did, he would have had to concede that there's no way he can pay for all his spending over the long term without Washington raising taxes on the middle-class and probably instituting a value-added tax. (On that count, one nonpartisan budget expert told me, the Obama plan is "ridiculous.") As I wrote a few days ago:
The president is also promising a long-term fix. The further out one goes, however, the less feasible it is to spare the middle class as Obama promises. White House economists reckon America's aging population – and its healthcare needs — means government will need to be bigger than its post-World War Two average of around 21 percent of GDP. (And this actually assumes Obamacare's cost controls work.)
Yet the U.S. tax system has rarely generated anywhere near so much revenue as a share of output, much less two to four points higher or more. And it sure can't by just taxing the "rich." In that scenario, a value-added tax hitting everyone could well be needed. A 10-point VAT, layered onto the current system, would generate $3 trillion in revenue over ten years. (Again, assuming no negative economic impact.)
Now that's no way to launch a reelection campaign. It's also no way to win the economic future. Yesterday, the International Monetary Fund kvetched that the White House had no credible plan in place to cut U.S. debt. Some 24 hours later, it still doesn't.
The ideal implementation of VAT is in total sweeping tax overhaul — scrap the current tax code altogether as Mitch Daniels has envisioned ( http://wp.me/p18NCA-9n ), and balance the VAT with a flat (or tiered) personal income tax with a high threshold. Use the EITC to protect the lower brackets.
The jobs and housing boom promised by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan relies upon an economic theory that has been rejected by both the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and the International Monetary Fund.
You left that part out, didn't you James?
The International Monetary Fund last fall concluded that deficit-cutting does produce long-term economic benefits. A lower stock of public debt allows interest rates to fall, encouraging investment, and lower interest payments permit the government to cut taxes.
"Still, reducing the size of government would carry larger short-term output and employment costs if a country could not offset the pain by lowering interest rates or if several countries simultaneously retrenched, the fund warned. And IMF economists rejected the theory of expansionary contractions.
"The idea that fiscal austerity triggers faster growth in the short term finds little support in the data," they wrote in a chapter of the fund's World Economic Outlook.
I'm sure James will look right into this and get his honest, non-partisan analysis posted tomorrow.
Here, James. Read.

Greatness Redefined
- Tuesday, April 18, 2006
Charles Spurgeon once preached on the foolish¬ness of pride, calling it "a groundless thing" and "a brainless thing" as well as "the maddest thing that can exist." But despite the sheer folly and unreasonableness of pride, it manifests its stubborn presence in countless ways within all of us. Even the disciples of Jesus weren't immune; in fact, they were prime offenders.
Who's the Greatest?
Pride was especially evident in the disciples' documented pursuit of personal greatness and recognition. This pursuit wasn't subtle, and it doesn't appear to be occasional. By their own accounts, it was pronounced and apparently continuous.
Notice, for example, what we learn in Mark 9 when the disciples and Jesus were traveling together. "They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the road?'" (Mark 9:33, NIV).
But the disciples "kept silent"—no doubt from embar¬rassment and shame, "for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest" (v. 34). Men who were receiving intensive training from Jesus Christ, the ultimate example of humility and servanthood, were embroiled in a full-scale dispute about their relative supe¬riority to each other.
Jesus knew their hearts, just as He knows ours. So He immediately and insightfully addressed their selfish ambi¬tion: "And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, 'If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all'" (Mark 9:35).
Jesus was radically redefining greatness. But His point apparently didn't sink in.
A Bold Question
In Mark 10 we find the brothers James and John approach¬ing the Savior apart from their fellow disciples. In apparent agreement with each other about their own greatness, these two brothers bring to Jesus a special request.
Apparently John and James think the Savior shares their lofty assessment of themselves, because there's absolutely no lack of confidence evident in what they ask. "Teacher," they say to Him, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." Jesus asks them what they desire. They answer, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory" (Mark 10:35–37).
Mark has already informed us that Jesus and His dis¬ciples are going up to Jerusalem, where James and John and the others expect the Savior to immediately establish His kingdom, militarily and politically. He will thus enter His "glory" and the two brothers want a prominent place in it. They undoubtedly assumed such a prominent place for them is appropriate in light of their obvious superi¬ority. "Let's settle this greatness issue now," they seem to be saying. "Who's the greatest? We are the greatest! And Master, we want You to acknowledge this fact by letting us sit on Your right and on Your left."
The prideful desires of their hearts are on full display. There's nothing subtle about their request. They're not ask¬ing for faith to endure His suffering. They're not asking for the privilege of supporting Him in and through His suffer¬ing. They want to be famous, pure and simple. James and John have defined greatness as position and power, and they want the title. They want the respect, the acclaim, and the importance. In their pride-dominated hearts, Jesus is just a means to their end of personal exaltation.
This passage by no means exonerates the other dis¬ciples, because sadly, the ten are no different. They somehow learn of James and John's request and become "indignant at James and John" (v. 41), revealing the pres¬ence in their own hearts not only of selfish ambition but also of self-righteousness.

EverQuest 2 Beta Confirmed, Producer Quizzed

Kemanorel writes "After a couple years of development, several months of hints and previews, and four weeks worth of drooling after a live demo in Vegas, Sony Online announced that EverQuest 2 Beta sign-ups begin next Monday. Minimum specs are 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and a DX9 compatible video card with at least 64 MB of memory - not too bad. Get in line now!" There's also an interview with EverQuest II producer John Blakely over at GameSpot in which he mentions: "Currently we have over 80 people working on the EQII development team", before arguing that the sequel shouldn't necessarily siphon players from the original: "EQII is being designed to complement EQ in terms of the gameplay experience. EQII is a game that will focus most of our content on the individual and smaller groups, while EQ's endgame encourages large raid forces to play the high-level content."

Fingerprints of oldest known star now a reality
In a major find, astronomers have successfully recorded the first fingerprints of the oldest known star in the universe - formed shortly after the Big Bang nearly 13.7 billion years ago.
"This is the first time that we have been able to unambiguously say that we have found the chemical fingerprint of a first star," said lead researcher Stefan Keller of Australian National University's School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The discovery has allowed astronomers to study the chemistry of the first stars, giving them a clearer idea of what the Universe was like when it was formed.
The star was discovered using the ANU SkyMapper telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory, which is searching for ancient stars as it conducts a five-year project to produce the first digital map of the southern sky.
The ancient star is around 6,000 light years from Earth, which is relatively close in astronomical terms. It is one of the 60 million stars photographed by SkyMapper in its first year.
"Finding such needles in a haystack is possible thanks to the ANU SkyMapper telescope that is unique in its ability to find stars with low iron from their colour," said Mike Bessell who worked with Keller on the research.
The composition of the newly discovered star shows it formed in the wake of a primordial star, which had a mass 60 times that of our sun.
The result may resolve a long-standing discrepancy between observations and predictions of the Big Bang, said the study published in the journal Nature.

text: This is Hachiko, a Japanese Akita. Akitas are a breed of dog largely known for their loyalty. Hachiko followed his owner (a professor) to the train station each day when he went to work, and then waited for him to return at the station every evening. One day the professor suffered a fatal heart attack at the university, and never came home. The next day, and every day after that for nine years, Hachiko showed up at the train station to wait for his master to get off of the train. He waited each day until he died in March, 1934. A bronze statue was later built in front of the train station, on Hachiko's waiting spot, to honor his loyalty.

Can you recommend a ski helmet that fits...
Can you recommend a ski helmet that fits well with the oversize fishbowl goggles. I love the goggles but they are so large they push the helmet up on top of my head and their curved shape leave a large gap below the brim. Does anyone make a helmet to fit this style of goggle better?

text: My Dear Husband/Lord, Meistari Gerekr, has been working a lot with e-formats the last several years, all of them, as he converts as much of our ancient paper library (ancient paperbacks especially!) to e-forms, in order to get degrading, allergy-making paper out of the house. From that experience, his current opinion about what is up-and-coming, and what is or will be fading away: (This has gotten LONG, and possibly recursive, SORRY! Don't get confused by apparent repetition, I hope.) A lot of the decisions one needs to consider are platform-dependent, not file-form dependent. RTF and PDF are readily openable on most desktop systems and iPads. He thinks most e-readers will handle ePub formats these days also. Kindle formats not so much: there's the Kindle-specific format (name?), and Mobi. G knows there are other platforms (besides the Kindle) that support Mobi, but doesn't know what they are. Kindle, he thinks, supports ePub. The Sony e-reader uses its own format (PRC), but will import from some other formats. The current front-runner for formats is the "ePub" format; in theory there are more than one ePub format, but virtually all are zipped HTML files with one or two minor additions, that operates as a unit. The one exception is Adobe epub, which is DRM, an encrypted file (a huge pain to work with). If you have good (well-formatted) HTML, you can easily convert to ePub for what is going on your reading device. Even ePub, if you have images, will be difficult to read on the smaller devices (iPhone, iPod), unless they are very small images. PDFs have a lot of advantages and strictly speaking what you are seeing is not, necessarily, a picture, but it is pretty rigid in format. They (pdfs) are not practical, for the small-image reason His Grace stated, on iPhone/iPod sized devices. iPad-sized and up will work better and better as the reading screen increases in size. PDFs are used primarily to render books where you want the e-form to LOOK exactly like the book. PDFs come in two flavors, sort of: the most-rigid, that cannot be altered at all, because they ARE just a series of pictures, cannot be searched; and the text-flow form, which CAN be edited and searched. The Kindle formats (usually Mobi or a variant) we haven't used used much, as we do not have a Kindle (at this time). Maybe half of all e-readers can utilize Mobi's, and it appears to be slowly becoming an obsolete form. Kindles will read PDFs and RTFs M Gerekr says the Calibre program will directly convert stuff from HTML to ePub, along with virtually all the other formats you mentioned. Calibre will convert between most e-book formats, with greater or lesser success. (Basic conversion from HTML to ePub format, G just showed me, takes about 2 keystrokes in the Calibre program.) There are also a few programs around for editing e-pubs, such as Sigil. So, getting back to specifically answering your questions about formats to drop, keep or add, and workload considerations: 1. Don't drop anything in favor of Kindle format. 2. Text format is probably not worth any work it takes (no pictures, no formatting). 3. Keep the RTF, while it doesn't do pictures, its probably the most easily-manipulated, and most easily searchable. It can be used as a source-file for virtually any of the other formats. 4. Keep the HTML, it's what ePub is based on and most e-readers these days will handle HTML one way or the other. 5. PDF and HTML are probably the most useful as far as getting data into e-readers, PDF and ePub would be the formats to add. BUT getting PDFs right can be a pain in the posterior, LOTS of work, and ePubs have to be constructed to some degree if you want it to look good. Or you could leave it to users to construct their own ePubs from the HTML. 6. IF there are content graphics involved in a particular file, the HTML will handle them as well as the PDF format would. as, for example, this http://www.florilegium.org/files/TEXTILES/8-P-Stitches/8-P-Stitches-art.html, these pics would show fine on a iPod, because they're so small to begin with. So...... you COULD keep RTF & HTML, drop text, and not add anything, if you wanted... TOO MUCH INFORMATION, huh? Do write if we've caused you more questions, 8-)!!

I'm considering dropping the text because of how much is lost and because now most people using the Florilegium can read the HTML or translate from it to text if they need to.

HP Slate: New Details Revealed for iPad Competitor
In the wake of all the news about the Apple iPad, it's easy to forget there are other tablets coming to market soon. That's partly why Hewlett-Packard has released another video detailing features of its upcoming Slate.
Previous video focused on Flash capability in the Slate, something the iPad lacks . This video goes further and points to other iPad weaknesses. One punchy shot shows the Slate accepting a USB cable connection and an SD card. The iPad doesn't allow either.
The video also dedicates time to showing the built-in camera being used for video conferencing, yet another missing feature in the iPad.
The video shows many aspects of the multitouch interface we haven't seen before. Interestingly, the video doesn't show any signs of the Windows 7 operating system. When Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unveiled the device last January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it ran Windows 7. It's unclear from the video if these are Slate specific apps or if there have been changes to the operating system specifically for the Slate.
So far, there are no details about release date or price from HP, although several clues point to June as a probable release date and a price close to the $500 tag of the iPad.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Estelle!
Facts about Estelle
- Breed: American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Estelle's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Estelle is 7 weeks old & just being a cute puppy! She is fostered with other dogs & kids. She is a fun loving girl that loves to snuggle. If you are interested in any of our Misfits please fill out an on-line app at - http://www.misfitangelsrescue.org/
Other Pets at Misfit Angels Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Estelle, a Warren American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Warren, or seeking a American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Warren.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warren already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Warren breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Bulldog/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warren paves the way for another one to be saved.

It may have piqued your interest throughout the last twelve months as we posted selections from our online Impossible Project x Ace gallery — and if you entered photos, thank you for fueling this incredible beast that inspired us daily. We've now selected a couple dozen images to be included in our physical gallery show One Year In — crowd-sourced and a thing of beauty — at Ace Hotel New York. We're throwing a little party with Impossible tonight in the lobby to celebrate, and you can see the show in our gallery space through December 14.
We're grateful for Lil' Bub. Shown here hanging out in our photobooth in New York this week.
WFMU out of Jersey City is like a shining tower on a hill broadcasting the amazing creative potential of free form listener-supported radio to the world. Sandy opened up some kick-ass on them as she was passing through, taking down both of their FM transmitters and frying a bunch of computers and equipment. They were down for a couple days but didn't take long to brush their shoulders off and get back on air.
Unfortunately, their annual Record Fair was canceled since the venue where it was scheduled was without power, meaning one of their biggest funding sources for the year was gone, like the dough they laid out in advance to organize and promote it.
But listeners have rallied to help out and it could have been worse. Some kind of aural providence kept these blessed stacks good and dry.
Even their collection of glitterized album cover art was spared.

And, thank heavens, their cassette copy of The Rudy Schwartz Project's Yodelin' Satan. Still, the months ahead at WFMU won't be easy without a little help from their friends. Good thing they've built quite the cache of goodwill with all the weirdness they've infused into the airwaves lo these many years.

Aleksandra Mir is an artist based in London. Without slowing down her own prodigious output, she has taken it upon herself to spearhead an initiative to bring the iconic bronze statue of Freddie Mercury in full rock god regalia — stationed in Montreux, Switzerland — back to London. The monument was commissioned by the remaining members of Queen after Mercury's passing and brought to life by a master of figurative sculpture and artist behind some of the great lost monuments of the Cold War era, Irena Sedlecka. In 1991, the Westminster Council rejected the statue and it found a home in Montreux, where it's become a shrine for Mercury fans from around the world.
The Freddie on the Plinth proposal would bring Freddie, on loan for a year, to the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, "to honor both Freddie Mercury's and Irena Sedlecka's artistic legacies, as an exploration of the connections between socialist realism and glam rock, to contemplate the void created by all silences, and to channel love through the celebration and sheer expression of life."
We caught up with Aleksandra to ask her about the petition and her take on the predestined meeting of the sculptor and the rock star.
Have you received any response from the Westminster Council since the Freddie on the Plinth proposal and petition were launched?
No, but the petition is not yet finalized and has formally not been filed anywhere. It is an open ended, unsolicited project, so anything can happen and that is ok.
How do you think Ms. Sedlecka's earlier work, creating heroic statues in the socialist realist style, informed her vision of Freddie Mercury? It seems to have some of the hallmarks of that era, minus the compulsory stodginess.
Irena was trained as a classicist. She had a remarkable education in Prague after WWII which involved rigorous study of the human form, but she was also expected as an artist to move beyond mere naturalist depiction — to edit, to exaggerate, to abstract and to bring both her subjects and her own character into the work. There is both anatomical perfection and soul in her bronze of Freddie. This kind of training is completely lost today. So when Queen's management discovered her as, what they thought, the most skillful sculptor working in Britain, her work had been obscured in the art world for almost thirty years. She still had it all in her though and she took it on with great enthusiasm. What you have as a result, in my mind, is a masterpiece.
Freddie Mercury himself seemed to cultivate an image that in some ways mimicked the "cult of personality" employed by Europe's 20th century (male) leaders — or at the very least his mustache did. He might have been the perfect subject for her art form.
Yes, they proved to be perfect for each other. As a very young artist, Irena had been making work on a monumental scale, which only the regime of her day could have supported. As she says, it seemed a good idea at the time — to celebrate communist heroes, considering they had beaten the Nazis and that her generation had just emerged from war so had enormous enthusiasm for the new socialist model. Fast forward and most of her work was later destroyed in the Velvet Revolution. At the same time, in the West, secular mass worship had taken on the form of stadium rock. And Freddie, one of its greatest heroes, became the perfect subject for a memorial depicting him at the height of his powers at Wembley stadium.
Are any of Sedlecka's sculptures from the pre-Velvet Revolution era still on display in their original location? We've heard that her monument to the victims of fascism in Melke Mezirici in Moravia is.
The Moravia monument still stands. A large portion of Socialist Realist work was actually dedicated to 'common people', anonymous characters that suffered the war or that were mythological representations of the human plight — mothers and children, workers, elderly people. It seems these artworks had more of a chance of surviving the post-communist era than named 'heroes' that ended up being rejected by history.
Oscar Wilde was famously persecuted in London but he's now memorialized by a statue at Charing Cross. His took 98 years though, do you think Freddie's will take that long?
Who knows? This is a work about two people, both Freddie Mercury whose life story and fame is omnipresent, and Irena Sedlecka, who works in quiet. It is an amazing tale of an artist's productive life that covers nearly a century of European upheaval and shifting ideologies. What I learned is that the political winds can change very drastically and unexpectedly from one day to another. It is impossible to say today what would eventually prompt a return of this rejected statue and masterpiece to London.
