Access Denied on Admin Login?
Hey guys, here's the deal.
I upgraded my OS a few months ago to 64 bit with new components etc.
I kept all of the old system files and folders JUST for if it went wrong, now ive sorted them all out, the old system files, and adobe is locked for some reason? I keep trying to change all of the administration but it just jumps straight back to before, but hey, im in no hurry to change it, its only 15gb of useless copies! Its just niggling at me and i would like to get it sorted if theres any other way?
ie changing the admin account so i can change - everything-, as I'm not exactly new with computers, been studying them for years.
Thanks a lot for the assistance in advance guys :) Looking forward to some suggestions!
- Also, a little off topic if anyones got enough time to add some wisdom to the thread, ive just bought a super duper cooler for my CPU as when i run on normal settings on a game I play, LotrO, the manufacturers fan goes mad, and it really gets my goat making a loud whirring sound, would I be able to run on High-Ultra with a duel core amd athlon 2? with that fan I have "Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 CPU Cooler" it wouldnt make any sound as its made for being quiet and cool very well. i suppose the only sign of the strain is artifacts in-game? Thanks again :)

You should right-click the folder, go to properties, click the Security tab, click the Advanced button, click the Owner tab, and then click the edit button. Select your account from the list, click to check the box labeled "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", and then click the OK button to apply permissions. Exit out of the properties dialog, and (unless you also need to add yourself full control to the permissions on the properties / security tab) you should now be able to delete the folder.

As soon as i press ok, it comes up with you cannot change this, access is denied, this is really irritating!

Are you logged on as "an" Administrator, or with *the* Administrator account? It makes a difference.

Im the only user of my computer, therefore being the only admin, i assume... Its the only account on here :)

That doesn't mean it's the administrator. If you're running Windows 7 Ultimate (as your specs indicate), try running lusrmgr.msc, enable the actual Administrator account, set a password, and switch users. Try again as the Administrator account - once you're done (it *should* work), you can use lusrmgr to disable the admin account again.

Reprovisional Lyrics
Artist: Fugazi
Album: Repeater
Somewhere in these private minds,
The last one comes out just in time
To clear out the chambers and sew up the lips,
'Cause that's the price to pay for hoping every slip's not a slide.
In other words not to get it wrong,
It's pointless to walk when it's past time to run.
Secured under the weight of watchful eyes,
Lulled to sleep under clear expansive skies.
Somewhere in these prying hearts
Conflicting histories tear us apart
And we hope we don't get what we deserve,
Hide behind the targets in front of all the people we serve.

In a large stock pot over high heat, boil water for pasta. When boiling, salt the water heavily and add the pasta.
Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, paprika and 1 teaspoon dill with 1/2 cup flour. In another medium bowl, add water. Wet chicken with water and then dredge in the flour mixture.
In large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and saute chicken breasts, about 4 minutes on each side. After they are cooked, remove to a plate. Add to the same pan the shallots and remaining dill. Stir in remaining flour and mix until pasty. Add dry vermouth. After alcohol burns off, mix in mushrooms. Add chicken stock and lemon juice and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and a pinch of parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Remove pasta from water after cooking for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Toss in oil to coat the pasta and add lemon zest. Put pasta on serving platter, then lay chicken across top and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley.

What does a single app that generates 20m downloads and $100,000 per day in revenue in five weeks? In the case of OMGPOP, the maker of the hit app Draw Something, it apparently gets you acquired in week six.
Today, social gaming giant Zynga announced that it has acquired OMGPOP.
While terms of the acquisition are not being revealed publicly, Peter Kafka of AllThingsDigital says his sources have indicated that the deal is worth in excess of $200m when employee retention is factored in. An astonishing exit for a company that just weeks ago few had heard of.
It's not hard to see why Zynga, which has built a billion-dollar social gaming empire, would be interested in OMGPOP. According to Kafka, Draw Something's popularity has continued to surge and the game is now reportedly netting $250,000 each day for OMGPOP.
That in and of itself is impressive to the say the least, but it's even more impressive when you consider that OMGPOP is lucky to be alive. Although Draw Something is an overnight hit, the company that produced it is hardly an overnight success. OMGPOP was started years ago and has raised $16m in financing. Before Draw Something, it was struggling to find its place. As one investor in the company put it, "Things did not look awesome."
For that reason, OMGPOP's back story may raise questions about the price Zynga is paying for the company. Yes, Draw Something makes for an attractive addition to Zynga's app/game portfolio, but is Draw Something alone worth $200m-plus? The OMGPOP team toiled for years without producing a major hit, and there's no guarantee that it will produce another Draw Something under the Zynga corporate umbrella. Clearly, Zynga is hoping that's not the case, but if it is, Draw Something may earn the distinction of 'most expensive app ever.'
On the other hand, if the OMGPOP team is just getting its groove on with Draw Something, Zynga's acquisition couild eventually prove to be a grand bargain. According to Simon Khalaf, the CEO of mobile analytics provider Flurry, OMGPOP sold "way too early" and may have left as much as $800m on the table.

Borderlands Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
If you'd care to read the forums you keep pointing to, you'd notice the cause as being something a bit less insidious. Namely, the host disconnecting before you can properly save.
erwing you should really read up on the subject you speak of. according to the Randy Pitchford (the CEO of gearbox) Borderlands was developed and created for PC first and foremost. his words exactly from Maximum PC nov issue : "The first thing is we author our content on the PC. With Borderlands we're not porting the game to PC, we are starting there. The PC is our development platform. The best looking version of the game that you're going to get is on PC." SO its NOT a port TO PC but the other way around. which means your rants are useless like you are

Is there a Savegameeditor for the PC version? There is already a working one for Xbox 360 saves^^. Maybe someone made one for PC, too. Hope someone find or make on, thanks^^.

As to the post above me...you're right. Google for 30 secs you'll find the 3 main ones if not more by now. Most people use the 2 that were posted (linked to) on just the boards here. lol

The 20-year-old from Victoria finds himself in Australia this week after Rugby Canada decided his priority was the sevens team.
For Fuailefau (pronounced Foo-lee-Fow), these are heady times as he prepares to pull on a Canadian jersey for the first time at the senior level.
He and his teammates were watching an All Blacks game this week when a message on the ticker at the bottom of the screen Down Under teased the Gold Coast Sevens.
"I got pretty excited seeing the tournament I was playing in was playing on a major game like that," he said from his Brisbane-area hotel.
"There's a good buzz," he added.
The six-foot-one, 220-pound Fuailefau has rugby in his blood. His father Joe played inside centre for Samoa "a long time ago, way back," according to Mike.
His father met his Canadian mother while both were doing missionary work and eventually moved to Canada.
While Mike does not have Samoan citizenship — he could get it if he applied — he says his father has instilled in him the pride and ethos of the Pacific Islanders' approach to rugby.
Fuailefau Jr. is slated to visit Samoa this Christmas for the first time to meet family. He also has relatives on the Gold Coast.
On the rugby field, he enjoys both the seven and 15-man versions of the game.
"I love playing both," he said. "This is really my first sevens experience with a team of this calibre, so this is a great experience for me.
"But most of the rugby I've played is 15s. I'll always love 15s."
A centre like his father in the 15-man game, he plays forwards in sevens.
Other youngsters on the Canadian squad are 18-year-old Justin Douglas and Lucas Hammond. Fuailefau and Hammond played on the national under-20 team together.
Veterans include captain Nanyak Dala, Phil Mack, Ciaran Hearn and Chauncey O'Toole.
Canada, restored as a core member on the nine-stop sevens circuit, opens play Saturday in a pool with defending champion New Zealand, 2008-09 series winner South Africa and the U.S.
For Canada, it's a new sevens start — with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the 12-team Olympic field in 2016 when the sport makes its debut.
The Canadians played on just five stops of the circuit last season but regained core status on the expanded series along with Spain and Portugal at a qualifying tournament in Hong Kong in March.
They were to compete on a 10-stop circuit, but the schedule has been reduced to nine with Argentina's decision not to host an event.
The Canadian men defeated the U.S. 26-19 in August in Ottawa to win the North American Caribbean Rugby Association qualifying event for the World Cup Sevens in Moscow next June.
A third-year student at the University of Victoria, Fuailefau is taking a break from his schoolwork to focus on rugby.
"I couldn't put 100 per cent into both and I didn't want to take anything away from my rugby," said Fuailefau, who trains in Victoria with other carded members of the rugby team.
Canada, fielding a squad of domestic players, opens play Friday in the ARC against a reserve Argentine side in suburban Victoria. The tournament also features a domestic U.S. side and Uruguay.

If you are going to launch an artificial sputnik, then it is advisable to make it hollow. At the same time it would be naive to imagine that anyone capable of such a tremendous space project would be satisfied simply with some kind of giant empty trunk hurled into a near-Earth trajectory.
It is more likely that what we have here is a very ancient spaceship, the interior of which was filled with fuel for the engines, materials and appliances for repair work, navigation, instruments, observation equipment and all manner of machinery... in other words, everything necessary to enable this "caravelle of the Universe" to serve as a kind of Noah's Ark of intelligence, perhaps even as the home of a whole civilisation envisaging a prolonged (thousands of millions of years) existence and long wanderings through space (thousands of millions of miles).
Naturally, the hull of such a spaceship must be super-tough in order to stand up to the blows of meteorites and sharp fluctuations between extreme heat and extreme cold. Probably the shell is a double-layered affair--the basis a dense armouring of about 20 miles in thickness, and outside it some kind of more loosely packed covering (a thinner layer--averaging about three miles). In certain areas--where the lunar "seas" and "craters" are, the upper layer is quite thin, in some cases, non-existent.
It is said that when a satellite hit the moon they were shocked at how the sound resonated throughout the moon as if it were hollow. It is also said that there is much activity around the moon's craters.

Most startups today do not face technological risks. The building is challenging and grueling, but it is known to be possible. Instead the majority of startups face market risks. It is usually unknown if the market actually wants the product you're building.
Market risk is often ignored by entrepreneurs, especially technical founders. It is honestly just more interesting to start creating than to validate whether the problem you're solving is painful and if your customers are actually interested in solving it.
In the early days I think it makes sense to spend minimal time building and instead spend time researching your market. There's multiple ways to research, but I believe the way with most benefit and least amount effort is to start a blog. Many successful startups were created as blog first startups, including Groupon, AngelList, and Moz. These startups reaped the benefits of blogging before building.
Learn how to reach your target customers
If you can't find people who are willing to invest 10 minutes reading your blog post, it's going to be really challenging to find people willing to take the plunge on your product. By blogging, you'll be forced to flex your distribution muscles to build readership. Luckily, most of the techniques used to find readers in the early days will be useful for finding early customers as well.
Does anyone care?
A popular blog post spreads because it resonates with readers. Building a blog following takes awhile, but you should be able to tell early on if people care about your startup's pain points. If you are explaining how to solve a true pain point in someone's life, he will take the time to click a link and read your post. If your readers share your posts on Twitter, Facebook and through email, and leave passionate comments, chances are you've hit a nerve with your potential customers.
Build an audience of early adopters
The people who read your posts are self identifying as potential early adopters of your product. Insert a call to action on each of your blog posts that links to a landing page designed to explain your product and gather email addresses. A good example of this technique is the Buffer blog, which strikes a nice balance between delivering content and peddling their product.
Gather feedback
Enable comments on your blog and provide the opportunity for your audience to leave their thoughts. Don't worry about negative comments – they are a good thing because they show people at least care enough to leave thoughts. Having no comments is probably the worst signal, as it generally means people are not passionate about your market.
Comments will also provide valuable feedback from your audience and start a dialogue with potential early adopters. Disqus comments are optimal because people generally use their real identify, which gives you an opportunity to reach our for more feedback via Twitter or email.
Solidify the pain points
By writing about your market and being forced to condense your ideas into specific blog posts, you'll solidify exactly what the pain points are your customers face. If your idea is a social network for college students, but you can't distill what the current challenges college students face when trying to meet peers, you're in trouble. Teaching is the best litmus test for understanding.
Build with a better understanding
Startup founders, especially technical ones, often forget that users of a product are human. When building software, it's easy to get wrapped up in edge cases and technical challenges, but writing is an exercise solely designed for communication with other human beings. As you write blog posts about your topic, you'll build a mental model of exactly the types of people in your target market. Having a mental model of your users, and the exact use cases they are using your product to solve, is invaluable once you start building.
Are you actually interested in your market?
Startups are a long term time investment, usually taking 5-7 years to pan out. When your initial excitement wears off after the first few months, are you still going to be interested enough in the market to grind it out for years? If you can't even sit down and write a few blog posts related to your market, you may want to think about changing ideas.
What do you think? Are there better ways to validate a startup idea and build an audience? Leave your thoughts and comments below.

It was inhabited from about 4000 BC. A palace, dating from the Middle Bronze Age, was destroyed by an earthquake during the Late Bronze Age. Knossos and other Minoan sites were also destroyed at that time. The palace was later rebuilt toward the end of the Late Bronze Age. The area upon which Phaistos stood was the site where, in 1908, a curious clay disk, dating to about 1700 BC, and containing a sophisticated pictographic writing, was discovered.
The Phaistos Disk is a curious archaeological find, most likely dating from about 1700 BC. Its purpose and meaning, and even its original geographical place of manufacture, remain disputed, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology.
The Phaistos Disc was discovered in the basement of room XL-101 of the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos, near Hagia Triada, on the south coast of Crete. Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier recovered this remarkably intact "dish", about 15 cm in diameter and uniformly just over 1 cm thick, on July 3, 1908.
Luigi Pernier discovered the disc during his excavation of the first Minoan palace. It was found in the main cell of an underground "temple depository". These basement cells, only accessible from above, were neatly covered with a layer of fine plaster. Their context was poor in precious artifacts but rich in black earth and ashes, mixed with burnt bovine bones. In the northern part of the main cell, a few inches south-east of the disk, and about twenty inches above the floor, linear A tablet PH-1 was also found. The site apparently collapsed as a result of an earthquake, possibly linked with the explosive eruption of the Santorini volcano that affected large parts of the Mediterranean region ca. 1628 BC.
Physical Description
The inscription was made by pressing pre-formed hieroglyphic "seals" into the soft clay, in a clockwise sequence spiralling towards the disc's center. It was then baked at high temperature. There are a total of 241 figures on the disc.
Many of the 45 different glyphs represent easily identifiable every-day things, including human figures, fish, birds, insects, plants, a boat, a shield, a staff, etc. In addition to these, there is a small diagonal line that occurs underneath the final sign in a group a total of 18 times. The disk shows traces of corrections made by the scribe in several places.
The Text
Although there is no official Unicode encoding for the symbols on the disk, the ConScript Unicode Registry has assigned a block of the Unicode Private Use Area to be used for the script. Two fonts include support for this area; Code2000 and Everson Mono Phaistos. The text on the disk is given on the second of these links; you can read that text if you have either of them installed.
The Strokes
There are a number of glyphs marked with an oblique stroke, the strokes are not imprinted but carved by hand and are attached to the first or last sign of a "word", depending on the direction of reading chosen. Their meaning is a matter of discussion. One hypothesis, supported by Evans, Duhoux, Ohlenroth and others, is that they were used to subdivide the text into paragraphs, but alternative meanings have been offered by other scholars.
Direction of Reading
From the diverse epigraphical facts (overcuts, angulous points of the spirals, corrections, etc.), it can be shown that the text has been written from the exterior to the center. The fact that most of the corrections were done on the spot, and other epigraphical facts, are showing that the scribe was "composing" his text in proportion as he was printing it. There is therefore no way to dissociate the direction of printing from the direction of reading.
Attempted Decipherment
A great deal of speculation developed around the disc during the 20th century. The Phaistos Disc captured the imagination of amateur archeologists. Alas, some of the more fanciful interpretations of its meaning are living classics of pseudoarchaeology.
Many attempts have been made to decipher the code behind the disc's glyphs. Historically, almost anything has been proposed, including prayers, a narrative or an adventure story, a "psalterion", a call to arms, a board game, and a geometric theorem. While many enthusiasts still believe the mystery can be solved, scholarly attempts at decipherment are thought to be unlikely to succeed unless more examples of the glyphs turn up somewhere, as it is generally thought that there isn't enough context available for meaningful analysis.
This general opinion is nevertheless disputed by several scholars on the basis of the work of the mathematician Claude Shannon. Shannon theory about the Unicity distance states that, in theory, the text's length is sufficient for reaching only one decipherment that makes sense. The problem is, however, that once there are reasons to think that a valid solution has been found, it is necessary to verify this solution by all means possible (generally by deciphering another text written in the same script), to be sure about it. Unfortunately until today no second disc was found, what makes the verification difficult.
Some of the symbols were pictographs which means they represented the object depicted. Others functioned as ideograms in which the picture of, say, a boat, no longer means "boat" but expresses an idea like "travel". However, such associations of the object with its main qualities, uses, or features were usually direct, quite obvious, and widely recognized. Pictographs and ideograms are also usually much easier to understand intuitively than the syllabic and/or phonetic systems of writing which evolve from them as a means of expressing more abstract ideas in a particular language.
The uniqueness of this archaeological object is contested by at least two other apparently related specimens - a votive double axe found by Spyridon Marinatos in the Arkalohori Cave, Crete, and a fragment of a smaller clay disk, found at Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia. But both inscriptions were engraved, not made with stamps. Moreover, the first contains only superficially similar hieroglyphics, and the second, interesting as it might prove, disappeared mysteriously. So far, the Phaistos Disc remains a hapax.
This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion in Crete, Greece.

Portal or Stargate
The Phaistos Disk, along with other artifacts that are surfacing in recent years, are coming to light as means of triggering our awareness about the shift in consciousness at this time. Much of the symbolism on the artifacts found deal with the theme 'Death and Rebirth' as consciousness is about to shift into something new. All things in our reality are metaphors - this 'game board' / disc and its symbols being no different.
The disk links with the number 6 ----> the Star of David - Merkaba ----> the spiraling movement of consciousness in and out of this reality - Sacred Geometry .
The Spiral Pattern is Repeated - Above and Below
One could try to explain the primitive pictures as sacred script in which archaic forms often survive, as happened in Egypt long after linear characters were employed for secular purposes. However, none of the missing links in this postulated evolution have been found. The famous Narmer Palette from the beginning of Egypt's first dynasty is a typical example of such early emblem and rebus writing. It contains a few hieroglyphs as writing signs used for their phonetic value, but most of the signs on it are pictographic symbols that mean the object depicted.
As we live in duality - the nature of our mission is to create balance and reunite with that which is our twin aspect - reunion with our twin soul on the other side - male/female - As is Above - So is Below - The Emerald Tablets of Thoth - Hermes Trismegistus
Geometry of Creation
Thoth and Osiris
Thoth was Hermes - Ancient Egyptian Mythology - God and Goddess - Isis and Osiris- the mythology of creation and destruction - the resurrection of human consciousness.
The 6 inch disk speaks to me of an amulet or talisman. All roads link back to ancient Egypt for me - the geometry of the land representing the mythological tales of God and Goddess - 12 ethereal pyramids around one. As is above - The ethereal pyramid facing downward meeting 'So is below' - the Great Pyramid - forming the hourglass - or the illusion of TIME which is my work here!
The bald head in Phaistos 58 and 61 bears two small circles imprinted on its cheek, one above the other as in our numeral 8. These appear to illustrate the meeting of the two big circles in the sky which led to its death. Two circles stacked just like these, the top one sometimes opened to look like the sickle of the new moon, were in early Classical Greece the emblem on the herald staff of Hermes. These circles became only later stylized as the entwined snakes of the caduceus that is now the logo of the medical profession. Hermes was the messenger of the Olympian gods and had also the surname "Psychopompus".
This means "Conductor of Souls" and identified him as the messenger from Hades, the realm of the dead. He summoned the expired there by laying this staff upon their eyes, the same way he put the living to sleep and woke them up at will. Then he guided the departing soul to the afterworld.
This placing of Hermes' two circles over the eyes of the deceased seems to survive in the folk custom to send off the dead with pennies on their eyes.
That the two circles appear here not on the eyes of the deceased but marked on his cheek may be artistic license on the part of the pictograph designer who placed them where they can be seen most clearly, without cluttering other lines.
This portrait of Hermes with his typical emblem is part of a larger scene by the painter Euphronios on a magnificent wine-mixing krater from about 520 BCE, now at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Hermes functions there in his role as guide of the dead, a parallel to the Egyptian Thoth who weighed their souls and then guided them to Osiris.
To find this emblem from Classical Hermes' staff here on this head from the earlier Disk found in Crete should not surprise us either: gods usually kept the symbols which defined them, and Hermes was an ancient god. The thirteenth- century BCE Linear B tablets from Pylos mention him as "Hermahas" along with other gods known from Classical times.
Even farther back, Hermes shared many basic myths and functions with the age- old Egyptian god Thoth. Thoth's name meant messenger, just like the job description of Hermes, and he guided souls already in the Pyramid Texts where he was to "ferry the dead across the 'winding waterway' on his wings".
In one of the best known scenes from the Book of the Dead, Thoth also supervised the weighing of the heart in the "Hall of Judgment" through which all dead Egyptians had to pass before they could enter eternity. Hermes had the same job though he performed it himself: one of the Athenian black- figure vases, our earliest major corpus of mythological scenes in Greek art which dates mostly from the sixth century BCE, [the time line of Z or Zoroaster who is Thoth] shows him weighing souls with a beam scale identical to that of Thoth. It is all about bringing balance to the Game.
Hermes also "invented" in Greece a number of arts and instruments which had long existed in Crete and even earlier in Egypt where some of them were specifically ascribed to Thoth.
Thoth was the Ibis headed scribe - he who wrote the story of our reality. Examples are the latter's above mentioned gifts of astronomy, reckoning, board games, and writing, as well as weights and measures which Hermes claimed also to have brought.
The two circles as time limit for the sun The emblem Thoth wore for his function as "Measurer of Time" [ also see Seshat] was a circular disk, the sign of the sun, with a crescent moon placed above it136 and very similar to the one Hermes wore on his staff. The meaning of this calendar-master's trademark was probably that the passage of lunisolar time was punctuated by the "Joining of Sun and Moon" which defined the cyclical life of the sun.
If the two joined circles on Hermes' staff depict a "joining" of the sun with the moon, as in the crown of Thoth the measurer of time, then we should not be surprised to find midway between Egypt and Greece the common emblem of this Egyptian and Greek mortuary god in the two circles on the bald head from Crete.
As usual for such shared emblems, the two circles on Hermes' staff seem to have meant the same as those above Thoth's crown, and those same circles on the Old Philistine bald head's cheek are likely to have symbolized the same. In the context of the Disk, they seem to imply the end of the time allotted to the "sun head", and so to confirm again the interpretation of the bald head as expression of the long-haired one's death at the end of his cycle.
The two circles on the bald head's cheek may then stand as shorthand for something like "The 'Great Year' between the meetings of new sun and new moon is over and time has run out for the old sun. Thoth-Hermahas marks this event on the dead sun with his emblem as measurer of time, and he guides the sun's soul into the afterworld".
This mark on the Phaistos bald head in the field of death matches again perfectly the timing of death in Senet right after a joining of sun and moon, except that the Egyptians used a different year-length for their calculations and so came up with a different period between such meetings. The similarity despite the difference only confirms that both examples were based on the same idea.
The Cretans of the Disk's New Palace Period did not live in isolation but traded far and wide, particularly with their rich and nearby neighbor to the south. Their island lies less than a week by sail from Egypt in good weather, and Odysseus could claim plausibly in one of his tall tales that he had covered that distance in five days.
Crete and Egypt are so close that at Alexandria in the Ottoman era, sailboat cargoes included snow exported from Crete and butter brought to it. Many traces of intense early contact between the two regions survive, including the Cretan domestic cats which descended from Egyptian sires, not from the native wild cats.
Already centuries before the Disk, the Cretan wall painters colored males red and females white to yellow, in the same arbitrary convention as their Egyptian colleagues, and the Cretan seal-makers used designs closely parallel to those found in Egypt.
Their work included even some Cretan-styled seals with Egyptian gameboards on them, so there is no doubt that Senet was well known and highly esteemed in the culture that left us the Disk. The Egyptian influence in Crete was so strong that several of the levels at Knossos are dated by the Egyptian artifacts in them. Even the base of a 12th Dynasty Egyptian dignitary's diorite statuette came to light at Knossos, in a deposit from a couple of centuries before the Disk.
And after the time of the Disk, both queen Hatshepsut (1473 to 1458 BCE) and king Thutmosis III (her successor to 1425 BCE) received formal embassies of Cretans in their Theban capital, as depicted in tombs of their nobles.
Slightly later the Linear B tablets from Knossos mention an "Aiguptios".
Most revealing for the transfer of ideas, more than any imported artifact or written mention, is a clay sistrum of apparently Cretan manufacture found in the cemetery of Arkhanes Phourni, buried about four centuries before the Disk. This clear imitation of a uniquely Egyptian ritual instrument and its presence in the funerary building imply knowledge of its use and purpose. It thereby proves that the Cretans had bought in their travels not only material objects but also some of the symbolism they encountered in Egypt.
The sharing of symbolism between Crete and Egypt was particularly intense around the time when the Disk got buried. The Hyksos kings who ruled Egypt from about 1640 to 1540 BCE adorned their palaces with unmistakably Cretan-style wall paintings of maze-like meanders and other motifs from the Aegaean.
In one spectacular fragment from the Hyksos capital Avaris, a young person with the typical long and curly black locks well known from Cretan paintings clasps the neck of a bull from above.
The parallel to the famous "bull- leaper" frescoes from the contemporary palace in Knossos is so pronounced that some scholars suggest these murals may express a dynastic or religious connection between Hyksos kingship and the rulers of Knossos, and in any case an interlocking of the beliefs in the two cultures.
Sources about Senet - This sharing of beliefs between Egypt and Crete makes the Egyptian game of Senet a valuable parallel to the proposed game on the Disk. Fortunately, a lot of information about Senet has survived in the form of actual gameboards, descriptions, and tomb paintings of Senet players with captions, and much of it has been conveniently assembled by two Egyptologists:
Edgar B. Pusch published a series of photographs and drawings with descriptions of all known Senet boards and Senet playing scenes in papyri and murals.
According to a scroll fragment which dates to Graeco-Roman times but seems to record a much earlier tradition, the 30 squares on the Senet board represented the 30 days in the standard ancient Egyptian calendar month, and more specifically the month of Thoth, the first month of the Egyptian year.
Thoth was a moon god and the god of science, astronomy, reckoning and writing, and in a myth the Greek philosopher Plato cites in Phaidrus, 274d, he was also the inventor of the board game which he bestowed on humanity together with those other arts.
The first Senet square was the "House of Thoth", and the festival of Thoth was indeed celebrated on the first day of his month which was also New Year's day. The thirtieth square stood for the last day of the standardized month "when the moon is invisible".
In Kendall's reconstruction, the last 16 squares, numbers 15 to 30, were the initially empty part of the track where the pieces lined up on the first 14 would perform their race to the end. The author of the fragment deemed it significant that the numbers of the stations on this active part of the track add up to 360, the number of days in the Egyptian twelve-month civil year
(The five additional days needed to stay approximately in tune with the solar year were not counted as regular time but remained outside its flow as birthdays of the gods.)
The most common version of the Senet board was laid out as a rectangular grid of 3 x 10 squares. U-shaped markings at the ends of two rows in an Old Kingdom mural indicate that the pieces turned there, "as the ox plows", to follow a continuous path with two U-turns. Like the pattern of travel up and down the Nile, that path went up the length of the board and down its middle and then up again on the other side.
Crude copies of boards for Senet pop up already in pre-dynastic graves from before 3100 BCE, and the game remained during the entire pharaonic period an important funerary gift for rich and poor. Kendall cites several examples of humble graves in which, aside from some pottery and a few beads, a Senet board and its pieces were the only other objects buried with the dead.

A presentation by Robert Kiley (Wellcome Trust) given at the annual conference of the Association of Subscription Agents and Intermediaries that looks at the Wellcome Trust experience with the author-pays, open access model.
Looking at Wellcome-funded papers published in the quarter of 2010, Kiley calculates that the average cost of papers published under the author-pays model -- either through a hybrid or full open access option - was $2,367.
Based on this average fee, Kiley estimates that if every Wellcome-funded paper was routed through a "gold" OA route -- and assuming that the Trust picked up 100% of these costs -- then the total cost per year would be around $10.8m, which equates to around 1.25% of the Trust's annual research spend.

Lacresha Johnson
Office Manager/Support Staff
Hello, my name is Lacresha Johnson. I am the office manager and an adult support staff at BYOP and a Micah Fellow. I came to BYOP through a program called Life Together, a program created by the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Life Together is a program that creates prayerful and prophetic leaders who deeply care about social justice and faith and uses the two to create community. Life Together placed me at BYOP, but what brought me to BYOP and this program is a deep sense of community. The second semester of my junior year of college I studied abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico To say those 5 months abroad changed my life would be an understatement. Mexico allowed me to recall the importance of giving back, community, and supporting young people. It revealed that we are in a world where there is constant injustice & inequality and that youth were taking the brunt of it. When I came back to the US for my senior year, I knew I could not just go right to graduate school. I had to use this newfound passion and use it. That is when I found the Life Together program; it allowed me to create community, give back, support young people, and gave me the tools to start changing the inequalities in the world. Seeing the empowered youth a BYOP that go out and make a change in the communities, schools, and nation is something that brings me back every day. BYOP has harnessed and deepened my passion for social justice, community, and young people so much so that I have committed to another year.

The Best Pitching in Baseball? Yup, It's Been the Cubs and Other Bullets
Among the after effects of late nights and limited sleep – something we've experienced a lot here early in the season – the one that bugs me the most is the headache I get the next day. I'll just be over here poppin' some pills …
- We'll get more into John Lackey's incredible start last night later today – it may have been even better than you realized – but I wanted to speak more generally this morning about the Cubs' pitching. It's not like it was a secret coming into the season that the Cubs had the arms to be among the best pitching teams in baseball – they got preseason love for it here, here, here, here, and here – but the positional group, for good reason, still got most of the attention. And even now, as the offense goes through fits and spurts, it still gets a lot of attention. But how about the pitching?
- The Cubs have a 2.24 team ERA right now, lowest in baseball. Average in baseball is 3.94! The Cubs' 2.70 FIP is second best in baseball (Mets), and 2.89 xFIP is best. In the bullpen, the Cubs are top five across the board in any important stat you could think of. And in the rotation, it's top three. Yes, the Cubs' pitching so far has been absurdly good.
- And how about this: through 13 games, the Cubs' starters have logged 12 quality starts (at least six innings, giving up no more than three earned runs – it's designed to be a very rough guide of whether the starter had at least a decent outing). Only John Lackey's debut in Arizona was of the non-quality variety, and even that one saw him go six innings. That means, yes, Cubs starting pitchers have gone at least six innings in every single start this season. That's absolutely nuts through 13 games. Indeed, you can tack on four more games at the end of last season, and the Cubs' starting pitcher six-inning streak is up to 17 games (and the game just before the streak started saw Jason Hammel go five scoreless innings). I could be wrong, but I suspect that's a super long streak. Probably not historically long, but I bet it's not that common. We'll see if Hammel can keep it up tonight.
- I really enjoyed each of Jason Heyward's and John Lackey's reactions to the boos they received in St. Louis last night (Cubs.com). Heyward said, "They don't boo too often. It must be somebody important or somebody doing something worth booing." Lackey said, "I've seen booing. That ain't booing." Could you respond more perfectly than those two did? One guy is like, "Thanks for the compliment." The other guy is like, "You're not even good at booing." Trollololololol.
- Speaking of the rivalry:
#STLCards shut off music as #Cubs take BP and have their rolling NL Central title banners from 2013, 2014 and 2015 on the jumbotron. #subtle
— Jenifer Langosch (@LangoschMLB) April 18, 2016
A little nervous about "that other team." https://t.co/ampbBsOU3z
— Brett Taylor (@BleacherNation) April 18, 2016
- And speaking of Heyward and the Cardinals, he expanded on his offseason comments about why he left the Cardinals in favor of the Cubs (comments that drew the ire of Mike Matheny and Adam Wainwright), and you can read about it here at ESPN. Short version? He wanted to be somewhere where the core players were under team control for a long time.
- MLBTR is interviewing baseball execs about their time in college, and the latest installment features Cubs GM Jed Hoyer talking about his time at Wesleyan. Hoyer gets into how his college years impacted him down the road, and how he transitioned into a professional life in the sport. Really interesting read, both because you see a lot of who Hoyer is as a person, but also as you see the story of how one exec got into the game – there are so many potential paths.

Would You Let Your 14 Year Old Daughter Work Here?
I know the Storm Kaden working at Hooter controversy has past, but I still am not sure why her parents think it is an OK place for her to work. Maybe it is the price of fame that you will be perved at by men.
Call me old fashioned but I don't think 14 or 15 year old girls know how vulnerable they are.
However Hooters did a 9/11 tribute here, and even if Storm is wearing the t-shirt and shorts they still seem a bit tight.
To be fair I have never been to a Hooters restaurant in Australia so I am unclear whether the uniforms are different. Commenters have said it is a family eating establishment. My understanding is that families are 10 per cent of their business.
Don't worry female readers I am looking for gratuitous shots of six packs on YouTube to link as well…..

No way in hell would ever I let my daughter work at Hooters (at ANY age).
And I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of family the people who are suggesting that Hooters is family-friendly grew up in, but the very name Hooters does not imply that it's a wholesome, clean cut establishment (unless mum and the kids love norks as much as daddy does too).

My ex-boyfriend's sister used to work at Hooters when she was 15-years-old and she quite enjoyed it there. The whole family were supportive of her too.
As long as she was happy and felt comfortable/safe, that's all that mattered.

Their motto is "Hooters makes your mouth happy!"
But what about the food?

After trading goals and exchanging the lead with No. 13 Dulaney for the first three periods of last night's second annual Sun Lacrosse Classic, No. 7 Towson erupted for five unanswered goals in the fourth quarter en route to an 11-5 victory at Towson State's Minnegan Stadium.
Senior midfielder Spencer Ford, who paved the way with a game-high five goals and one assist, and senior Dan Ross (three goals, two assists) led the fourth-quarter assault with goals each.
They led the two-time defending 1A-2A state champion Generals to their third straight win over Baltimore County's 3A-4A powerhouse.
"I told the kids that it's the icing on the cake to beat Dulaney but I'm hoping to get more cakes to start icing because we want to win that third state title," said Towson coach Randy Dase.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Memorial Day has passed, but just one day of recognition does not do enough to express the debt of gratitude owed to those men and women who lost their lives serving our country in its time of need.
The pages of The Examiner this week are full of stories that describe sordid acts of violence, horrendous crimes involving drugs, greed and a willful indifference to human suffering. These incidents constitute a basic assortment of the worst sort of depravity visited upon us by wretched creatures who have forfeited the right to be among decent people.
When a natural disaster strikes a community, it does not discriminate – wreaking havoc on the rich and poor, just and unjust, people of every race, religion and social status. Southeast Texas was ravaged by two killer hurricanes in the past decade – Rita in 2005 and Ike in 2008.
On Wednesday, April 17, Dr. Timothy Chargois, superintendent of Beaumont ISD, called a press conference at his office to ask the local media to help the district promote "civility and humility" among factions of the community.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.
