Act IV, Scene I
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me. ~ King Richard II, Act V, Scene V
The aroma of last night's Chinese takeout hung heavy in the air after being reheated for this afternoon's early supper. The wonton soup didn't smell quite right. Or maybe it was the egg rolls? Still, they tasted fine as leftovers, lacking of course their original zest. And the smell DID cover the reek of cigarette smoke that had been infused into every permeable surface in the room.
Bob had requested checking into a non-smoking room after a few days of the stench brutalized his sinuses, but no such luck would befall him. Only eight of the motel's twenty-six rooms were designated non-smoking, and all eight had been booked solid ever since he'd checked in over two weeks ago. The one time a non-smoking room opened up, it had been immediately given to a new arrival, which infuriated Bob since he had specifically asked not two days earlier to be upgraded at the first opportunity.
The past few days were a blur. There was no seam to separate day from night behind the thick curtains; only a barely discernible transition from gloom to even darker gloom. Alcohol smoothed out any rough surfaces, perfecting the haze in which Bob had resigned himself to live in. This dingy motel room had become his self-imposed prison cell, himself his own coldly indifferent warden.
Sprawled out on a bed in a stained wife beater and black-soled socks, he resembled a degenerate Al Bundy with a remote control in one hand and the other tucked comfortably under the waistband of his boxers. He retained his sophistication and dignity by watching the BBC, National Geographic and various other intellectual channels, as if somehow that would combat the constant assault of alcohol on his brain cells.
He'd gone and put in an application at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant a few days earlier, and had been contacted promptly to schedule an interview with plant owner C. Montgomery Burns. Bob reasoned that if Homer Simpson (aka 'any idiot') could get a job there, then certainly he, Robert Underdunk Terwilliger, Jr., Yale graduate, esteemed classical actor and champion of high culture, would have no difficulty acquiring a position worthy of his lofty credentials. Despite his confidence, as the days wore on leading up to his interview, he found himself sinking into another pit of apathy and depression.
Now here he lay, in soiled underclothes, on a soiled bed, neither of which had been changed in days, surrounded by empty bottles, greasy takeout boxes, torn Playboys, crusts and crumbs and wrinkled, unwashed clothes. A severe case of bed head made his hair even more unruly than usual, and four days' worth of stubble gave his long face an aged look. Tomorrow was his interview with Mr. Burns, and he would arrive looking his finest, but until then, he couldn't care less about anything. Even himself.
He reached for the half-empty bottle on the nightstand, unscrewed the lid, and took a drink.
Life had been a gradual downhill slope ever since he'd become Krusty the Clown's unwitting sidekick. Always being pushed and pushed and pushed too far by one thing or another, it seemed, until one day he'd snapped and pushed back, framing his employer for armed robbery. Being foiled by a mere child, he'd snapped again, and pushed back even harder. Bob had always had anger issues, had always lashed out at the world one way or another. Why? He'd never given it much thought until recently, when he'd been cast out of paradise by his faux family and the fair-weather citizens of Salsiccia. It had been one blow too many, and in the end he'd realized that he had no one to blame but himself.
He took another swig.
It would have been far too easy to have murdered Bart Simpson, Krusty - anyone who'd ever crossed him. He was far from inept. He'd practiced archery, fencing and various other sports and hobbies that had honed his physical prowess. He was a skilled marksman and swordsman, and even without those talents he could have ended many lives effortlessly. Anyone can fire a gun or wield a knife. Bob COULD have been a murderer. But he wasn't. No matter how much his rage consumed him, he'd always held fast to a shred of sanity, enough to keep him from taking that final step into that black void from which he could never return.
He took another large gulp. The vodka stung his throat.
After all he'd done, all the chances he'd had, he'd never harmed a single hair on Bart Simpson's head, and no one who'd truly paid attention could ever accuse him otherwise. Thoroughly terrorizing the boy had been sufficient, yet it was never enough to conquer his own demons, only to keep them at bay a little while longer. It just wasn't in him to take a life, and all along some part of him had known that. It was that little part of him that spared the world from the wrath of Sideshow Bob.
Why, then, did he always allow himself to get caught? Was it some deeply rooted desire for attention? To punish himself? Or perhaps to stop himself before he did something truly abhorrent? Was that his subconscious way of safeguarding the world from his rage? He'd ask the man in the mirror, if he could only find the courage to face him. Mirrors had become enemies, things he couldn't bear to look at half of the time for fear of the monster that lived inside. This was no way to live. He had to make a new life for himself, become a brand new Bob - starting tomorrow, with his interview at the nuclear power plant.
He drained the bottle and drifted off to sleep.
Scene II
When Bob awoke again, the world beyond the curtains was a soft pearly blue fading into grey. A sliver of the motel's neon sign could also be seen flickering to life. From where he lay he could make out the one functioning letter E and the dark space beside it where its twin had died out, rendering the Sleep-Eazy Motel the more aptly nicknamed 'Sleazy Motel'.
As if to lend credence to this moniker, the sound of girlish giggles preceded a shapely figure passing by Bob's window. A second, more rotund figure followed. Their footsteps slowed and halted just outside his door. At the sound of a key card being swiped, Bob sat bolt upright in bed. The door swung open and he found himself staring at none other than Springfield's infamous Mayor Quimby. Clutching his arm was a busty blonde in a clingy red cocktail dress. She had a flamboyant hairstyle that clearly belonged in the eighties, which, judging by her apparent age, was most likely older than the girl herself.
"Oh! Excuse me!" Quimby muttered, taking a step back out of the room. He glanced at the numbers on the door, then back at Bob. "Er, uh, isn't this room sixteen?"
"No, it isn't." With a frustrated sigh, Bob stood up and walked to the door. "It's nineteen. See?" With a slender finger he turned the tarnished brass '6', which hung loosely by a single screw, over and upward until it stood level with the number 1. It was now very plainly a 9.
Quimby looked embarrassed by his mistake. "Ah, yes, well... I, er, uh, I thought they were those, uh, fancy slanting numbers."
Bob nodded but made no remark about how their key card had somehow been programmed to unlock HIS door. He glanced around at the other doors, suspecting that they could all be opened with the same key card. It was half tempting to make a round of all the rooms and try out his own card on them just to see if he was right.
He took his finger off the brass number and it slid back down to hang in its previous position. The blonde gasped and placed her finger on it next. "Look at that, Joe! It's a six! And now it's a nine!" She twirled it up and down. "Six. Nine. Six. Nine. Six. Nine - OH! I totally get it now!" She turned to Bob with a grin that was both childlike and sultry. "Hey mister, do YOU know why they call it a sixty-nine?"
Bob stared at her, resisting a smirk. "No. Why?"
Before she could answer, the brass 9 fell off the door, clattering on the concrete walkway. The girl bent over to pick it up, giving Bob a brief but enticing view of her cleavage. When she stood up again her hair brushed the front of his boxers. He stepped back a moment too late.
"Wow, mister, you've sure got big feet!" she exclaimed, handing him the 9. "You know what they say about guys with big feet, dontcha?"
Again Bob stared at her, incredulous. "No. What?"
She shrugged. "I don't know either!"
Mayor Quimby cleared his throat. "Er, come along now, Syphilis," he mumbled, taking her by the elbow. "I, er, think we've disturbed this gentleman long enough."
"It's Sylvia Phyllis!" the girl protested. "Not 'Silly Philly' or whatever you just called me!"
"Same difference."
Bob sighed and shut the door, this time using the manual lock to prevent another key card from gaining access to his room. A few minutes later, and after what sounded like an ugly altercation with a drunk they'd intruded on, Quimby and his date finally located their own room, which, unfortunately for Bob, happened to be right next door.
The sound of moans and squeaky bed springs traveled through the thin wall that separated his room from theirs. Bob maxed the volume on the remote, but it did little good as the TV was currently featuring a soft-spoken drama on the BBC channel. Unable to tune them out, he soon found himself bothered by the scandalous noises in more ways than one. Fishing a Playboy out from under his pillow, he flipped it open to the centerfold (who bore a convenient resemblance to Quimby's date) but his heart wasn't in it.
Some of his cellmates had teased him for not subscribing to more explicit adult magazines, but frankly he'd found most of them to be nothing but stomach-churning smut. Was it not enough for most men to simply appreciate the beauty of the female form without tainting the image with bodily fluids and foreign objects crammed where they don't belong? Perhaps he WAS too sophisticated for his own good, which explained why the ruckus next door failed to arouse him.
His thoughts wandered from the act itself to the people involved. MAYOR Quimby, now there's a joke! Bob snorted. How that sordid excuse for a mayor managed to avoid bloody impeachment was nothing short of an undeserved mercy. He cared nothing for the citizens of Springfield, unless they were stuffing his pockets or sleeping with him. Bob, on the other hand, had been a very personable mayor, faithful to his 'wife' and to all appearances had been a doting father. What cruel irony that HE should be robbed of his post while that doltish philanderer in the next room remained in office!
And that bimbo... what self-respecting woman would be caught dead in the same bed with Quimby? Not counting the former Miss Springfield, whose giggles were like sandpaper on the eardrums. No self respect there. Not a drop. Francesca, on the other hand... she was a strong-willed, intelligent woman, someone Bob could have easily admired, were it not for the fact that she'd had too much self respect. She'd walked all over him in her delusions of grandeur. And he'd allowed it. If he wasn't playing the role of villain, he was playing the victim.
He rolled over and opened the drawer on the nightstand. Inside lay an unopened bottle of Bacardi next to an unopened Bible. He reached for his poison, then paused, eyeing the book beside it. His hand moved toward the latter as if deciding on its own, but stopped again. His fingers trembled, and he suddenly felt as though touching either one of them would scald his flesh. With a sigh he shut the drawer and went to get a drink of water from the bathroom sink instead.
Somewhere between villain and victim, and slightly above, was a role Bob knew he was destined to fill. No great highs, no deep lows. Just a normal human being. He forced himself to look at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, glaring hard at the man he both loved and loathed like no other. He'd lived at both ends of the spectrum, and both came with their hefty price. He was sick and tired of having to play the role of someone else, to don another's facade and act the part of jester or king, traipsing across the worldly stage in shoes that were either far too large or far too small. It was high time to stop pretending to be something he wasn't and to start living his own life. It was time to start being Bob.
Sorry if that wasn't the most entertaining chapter. It wasn't until after I'd posted Act III that I realized I wanted to write a little something on Bob's inner struggle, and from what I've got plotted out, there was no place it would fit into the story except right here.

aaaah... corrupted politics, I know something about them.......................
I liked so much this chapter, it is not boring for me. I like how you tried to dig inside him... I believe that behind a villain there is quite always much pain, in some way.
The Bible/Bacardi/water part is great!

I didn't think this chapter was boring, I think it is good place to put his inner struggle here, it shows that the plot will begin to rise slightly and I think it's well placed becaue it's not too soon, but not too late.
I also like how you gave him this inner struggle, rather than making him a crazed attempted murdere that suddenly has an epiphany and becomes a good person, you really rounded him out

*twitches* The neat freak in me just wants to turn a hose on that motel room in the picture ... maybe Bob too. I thought this chapter was really entertaining. Even though it was shorter on humour than the others, I think it may be my favourite. Bob's such an interesting character, chapters that focus more on his psyche work so well for me.
* Yet again, another side character pulled off wonderfully! Bob's bitterness at Mayor Quimby is so touching because it's so justified - judging by The Italian Bob, Bob was a great Mayor! He even plays football with the local children ... also liked that he's not so high and mighty that he can't get turned on by a not-so-bright chick, but also that he can't really get into it properly (Bob is SO an old fashioned romantic at heart, I can tell!). Also liked the part about how he could have respected Francesca if she wasn't just out to use him - very tragic.
* Little bit where he can't touch either the Bacardi or the Bible, but instead goes for the glass of water, was very poignant. It was sort of a nice little metaphor for how from now on, he doesn't want highs or lows - it's all about happy mediums! You're very skilled at showing Bob's insecurites, under all the theatricality.
* Nice little explanation of why he couldn't kill Bart - it's not sentimental or sappy, your reasons why Bob can't take that step ring very true.
* I like that you mention how Bob tries to hang on to his dignity by watching more cultured TV shows - I'm British, so I got a little thrill from the BBC being mentioned!

LOL wow! I'm starting to think you understand my motives for writing certain things better than I do!
I love Bob too much to let him be a genuine murderer. That sort of thing really hits close to home with me. A friend of mine was murdered, shot in cold blood, back in 1995. He was only 28. And right now another friend of mine who's only 23 is in jail, looking at a possible life sentence, for being involved in a home invasion robbery that left two people dead, including his friend and accomplice, though he himself was proven not to have killed anyone. It's very heartbreaking, because I've known him since he was a little kid, and I KNOW he's a good person. His mother is a complete wreck because he is her only child and the light of her life. His sentencing is in a couple of weeks, and even I'm a nervous wreck about it. So, looking at the perspective of both a victim AND a criminal, I just can't let Bob continue down that path.
Hehe, Brits rule!
Although I must admit that I usually only watch non-sophisticated stuff on BBC myself, like "Doctor Who" and "Keeping Up Appearances" (freaking LOVE that show! XD). Ever seen it? Bob is a lot like the main character Hyacinth in the sense of looking down his nose at people he deems culturally inferior. And Onslow just kills me.

Yay empathy! ;D
I'm so sorry to hear that about your friends
It's awful that people died in that home invasion, but if you want justice he should be getting retribution for breaking and entering, not a life sentence for murder. I mean ... the evidence is there, he just shouldn't be on the stand for murder. It boggles my mind that this stuff can happen, it seems like sometimes the people in charge just don't understand that crime and punishment is serious business. I hope true justice is served for him, and he gets no more and no less than what's deserved. My thoughts are with him, I hope he is able to come out the other side of this in the near future and be that good person you know, and my heart particularly goes out to you, his mother and the families of the people who died *hugs*
Doctor Who and Keeping Up Appearances are awesome! Onslow's so funny, but Daisy and Richard were always my favourites - I guess I have a soft spot for the hapless, put upon spouses of these very extreme personalities! I can definitely see the parallels between Bob and Hyacinth, though at least I think he truly understands culture! But yes, they're both total snobs.

Setting up the P21 headset is simple enough thanks to its bypass-capable RCA analog audio connections. The ports can attach right where your PlayStation 3 wires hook into your TV or receiver, preventing the need to constantly switch out wires when you want to use the headset. The cable length is also very generous, giving you up to 16 feet to work with. An included USB extender allows for the headset to hook into your PS3 when chatting.
While we're satisfied with analog stereo audio support, we were a bit disappointed to find that you can't use a digital optical audio connection with the P21. This also means the headset is incapable of producing surround sound like we've seen in other 5.1 Turtle Beach products.
During our testing, we were impressed with the P21's performance. We used the boom mic for a handful of rounds playing SOCOM: Confrontation, which yielded solid results. Our teammates heard us clearly and we were able to adjust the chatter to fit our preference.
Sound quality was good; even with just a stereo connection, we were able to tell where gunfire was coming from. However, the P21 does not do a good job at sound isolation. If you're using the headset next to someone, they will most likely be able to hear what's going on through the earcups.
The P21 can also double as a PC (or Mac) gaming headset. You can either use the USB dongle as a virtual soundcard or purchase a 1/8-inch-to-stereo-RCA adapter in order to attach it manually to your soundcard. Either way, the headset performs just as well, adding to the overall value of the product.
We liked the P21 headset's performance, we just wish it supported 5.1 surround sound. Priced around $80, you may want to look at another headset if you'll need something for more than just PlayStation 3 gaming sessions. The company makes a solid 5.1 surround headset--the X4--for double the price, but it can be used with a wide range of home theater devices. That said, it won't work with PS3 chat in-game, just audio.
Your other alternative is the Tritton AX Pro 5.1 system for around $150, which may be confusing to set up, but it does offer close to universal compatibility.

The Fountain of Life
Matthew 26:27-28
And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins."
Imagine digging in your back yard while planting some flowers. You overturn a slab of sod and a thin spurt of water shoots upward. You watch as the water trickles onto a patch of brown, dry grass and to your amazement, the grass slowly turns green. The water then flows toward your tomato plants and immediately the wilted leaves stand upright and the tomatoes blush red. You run into your house, grab a cup, and run back out to this tiny fountain. You fill your cup, then drink it in one long gulp. Suddenly, you feel invigorated.
You run back into the house, look in the mirror, and notice that some of your wrinkles are ironed out, leaving a youthful complexion that you haven't seen in years. Your jaw drops in amazement as the realization hits you: you have discovered the Fountain of Youth!
What would you do with this fantastic discovery? Would you share it with your spouse, your children, your older sister or brother? Would you tell your mother who is dying of cancer? Would you invite all of the families in your neighborhood to a barbecue and give them all they wanted to drink? Of course you would! Who would be selfish enough to keep so great a discovery to himself?
Yet we, who have been partakers of the greatest discovery the world has ever known—namely, eternal life through faith in Christ—keep it to ourselves most of the time.
Has it ever occurred to you that the more you value Christ's sacrifice, the higher your priority will be in sharing Him with others? If you do not consider His mercy to be the most significant thing that has ever been given to you, then you will not consider it worth sharing. This would be the most terrible of all tragedies. For if there is one discovery that should never be hidden nor taken for granted, it is the fountain of living water which Christ has offered through His gift of salvation; a fountain wide enough for all to drink and deep enough for all to bathe.
Romans 10:14 says, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"
How well are you doing at sharing your faith with others? Are you taking Christ's sacrifice for granted, covering it over with dirt and hoping no one will ever know that you are a Christian? Let me urge you to fervently tell the world about this miraculous, incredible discovery . . . the Fountain of Living Water.
Prayer Point: Take time to thank God for His sacrifice on the cross and for sending that person who first shared the news with you. Pray that you will cease from taking Christ's sacrifice for granted, but rather, that God will bring you to people who need the living water.
Extra Refreshment: Read John 4:1-45.
Society is teaching our kids that the Bible is full of fairy tales. And if our kids haven't started facing doubts yet, they most assuredly will once they reach high school and college. So how can we help them see, even at a young age, that the accounts in Scripture really are inspired by God? How can we give them a sense of wonder for God's Word that will last beyond their Sunday school years? The answer lies in an empty tomb.
Many ministries today expound on life and illustrate with Scripture;
we're committed to expounding on Scripture and illustrating with life!
Many people have a basic understanding of several key events in the life of Jesus Christ: His birth in a stable, His sermon on the mount, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. But what else happened during his 30+ years of life and ministry? In this series of messages, Stephen uncovers rich and practical truths from several often-overlooked passages to give us both an inspired and an inspiring glimpse into the boyhood of Jesus.

Improve your English, make new friends, and take your basketball game to a new level with this unique basketball and language experience in Southern California.
Since 1961, the Snow Valley Basketball Schools have been instructing kids on the fundamentals of basketball. As the longest running basketball school of its kind, you'll receive more instruction in the fundamentals and more chances to improve your skills than anywhere else in the world. This rigorous daily format includes fundamental instruction, clinics and team games that will leave each camper with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Nike Campers have the opportunity to add a ELS language program prior to their Snow Valley basketball camp through our partnership with ELS Language Centers, the leader in international English education.
Students can choose between a traditional language camp program like the Malibu Youth Program with pre-planned activities in the afternoon and which is geared toward students aged 11-16; or a more independent driven language study program (for ages 16-18) held at the downtown Santa Barbara ELS Learning Center, where students live and learn with local host families in the Santa Barbara area. (Please see the short videos below.) Both offer a two or three week program and each are followed by one, two or three sessions of Snow Valley Basketball camp which areheld at the Westmont College in Santa Barbara
Whichever program you choose, you'll learn much more than just English or improve your basketball skills. Your time at camp will be one of the most memorable times of your life where you will meet incredible friends and experience English and American culture inside and outside the classroom.
International campers who are looking for a basketball only program (no language), please click here for our individual session dates
To view a short video on the ELS Downtown Santa Barbara program (for ages 16-18) see below.
To view a video on the ELS Youth Language Camp in Malibu (for ages 9-16)
For the past twenty-five years the coach has been the co-owner of Snow Valley Basketball School, one of the most prestigious teaching camps in America. Coaches and players from all over the country and the world have partaken of skills and techniques taught there. Many have gone on to successful careers at various levels of the game. With the high regard he has received, Coach Sands has been invited to travel, conduct coaching clinics and teach basketball in many states in the U.S and in Europe.

At West Los Angeles College, his teams competed in the State Playoffs, and, as a result, his coaching peers elected him Coach of the Year several times. In fact, because of his outstanding reputation throughout the state, he was ultimately elected to the California Community Coaches Hall of Fame.

Since his retirement and because he is passionate about helping basketball players take their skills to another level, especially their conditioning and shooting, he continues to coach. With his incredible understanding of the game, his ability to analyze player's strengths, as well as his communication skills, Coach Charles Sands will always be a valuable asset to the game of basketball.

International Campers will be met at LAX based on their arrival into the ELS Language school. A travel form which will be included in your detailed registration package.
Snow Valley Basketball Camp Check-in
Note, in between the two complete skills basketball sessions, there will be a Weekend Offensive Skills Program. All Sport and Language campers will be enrolled in this program. This Offensive Skills Program will begin on Friday at 12 Noon and run through Sunday morning. The next week session will begin again at 3:30 pm on Sunday. All campers will be supervised during the transition time between each program. The Offensive Skills Program will focus on Passing, Catching, Footwork, Shooting, Dribbling, 3-on-3, 4-on-4, and Cut-Throat.
Santa Barbara is a friendly town on the Southern California coast. Known as the "American Riviera," Santa Barbara is famous for its sunny weather, Spanish-style architecture and lively college-town spirit. The city is pedestrian-friendly and offers excellent public transportation. Santa Barbara is one of the safest cities in California, and its amazing mix of mountains and beaches include everything from big city culture to outdoor adventures. It is located approximately 100 miles Northwest of Los Angeles, and within driving distance of many Northern California cities. The Santa Barbara Airport is closest in proximity to Westmont College, however the Los Angeles International airport (LAX), serves all international destinations and is located about 2 hours away. Program participants will enjoy rountrip airport transfers from LAX.
The ELS Language Center is located at 104 West Anapamu Street in Santa Barbara, CA 93101. The other location for ELS language is located at Pepperdine University in the town of Malibu. Both locations offer students the chance to live and play on the Sunny West Coast of California and improve their English skills. The Snow Valley basketball program is held at Westmont College. Located in the hills above Santa Barbara, CA., Westmont College offers a safe and secure campus environment , which includes scenic gardens, stone bridges, and stunning pathways, is an ideal place for camp. Campers reside on campus in the newly renovated Van Kampen Hall.
We brought a group of boys from our basketball program in Thailand and it was an incredible experience. While in the US, our boys participated in several US basketball camps and the Snow Valley Basketball Camp was by far the best basketball skills camps we attended. We are looking forward to next summer when we will be bringing another group of excited campers! Thank you
Phil is the only junior in the starting line up on a senior-laden team and flips between the 2 and 1 guard spots. He will probably wind up the team's leading scorer and first or second in rebounds, steals, and assists. Defense is very good. Mixes his offensive production between outside stuff and rebounds/put backs with a few slashes to the basket every game. Finishes well. Sealed a one point win taking a charge with no time left the other day that was pretty heady.
All of this to simply say "thank you" for your contribution to his development. His skill sets are very high and game IQ very high. I attribute that to investing in Snow Valley Basketball Camp.
This was a rigorous but fun experience. I got great feedback which has helped to improve my game. I now know the areas that I need to work on and I am striving to improve my game every time I go to the court. I would recommend this program to anyone who seriously wants to improve their technique and be a better player!
I benefited from the one on one coaching. My coaches knew when to push me so as to reach my potential. Facilities were nice and clean. Food was excellent.
2015 camp dates and prices coming soon. Subscribe now to receive camp updates or call 1-800-645-3226.

Whenever I play games such as Arma 2, Empire total war, or even minecraft I get a bluescreen. I'm not sure if it is related to my graphics drivers or is the hardware.

I've updated the drivers and ran memtest for 8 passes. I did have errors.
|My System Specs
|28 Feb 2013
OK so this is a good thing it means we have identified the problem, now its a matter of figuring out which memory slot(s) on the mother board or ram stick(s). part three of the tutorial has details about how to figure out which is causing the problem for your convenience here is the section of the tutorial you need to follow:
The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.
Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.
If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.
1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.
2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.
If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.
In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

I was so tired last night that I never made it back on to the computer after supper. Needless to say my blogging never got done.
Today is a new day, and I'm raring to go...start those engines and let's be off!
It's Fabulous Friday once again, so will be looking for all the fabulousness in my day, not that I don't anyway, but today I'm always more aware.
My day has already started off Fabulous...I woke up on this side of the grass! I have great health, I had breakfast to eat, I have a job to go to - which I love, a warm vehicle to drive to work in, warm clothes. I guess what I'm saying is, we often overlook the small things and write them off as being of no significance. Today, I challenge everyone to really examine their day as all those things that you would normally overlook, take a second look at them and then give thanks for the blessing that they are.
Have a wonderful day, be grateful for all that you have....there is always someone else who doesn't have the blessings that you do...take time to Thank God and to ask God's blessings to be upon those in need.
I've been having a few minors issues with my computer. It's been running very slow and just generally not working correctly. If I click to a new screen before everything has loaded completely, I get booted out. Decided to do a defrag, virus scan, spyware scan and a registry mechanic on my computer. Fixed what ever they told me to fix...voila...assumed my computer would now work correctly.....nope! Now my computer will not save my login's, even when I click on the "remember me" button, and today...getting on to the internet was none existant until this evening...I'm Here Now!, but it's slow going.
Such is the life of a person who uses the computer for everything! Think I need to take some computer repair classes! lol
I've had a very busy day, work was very busy, trying to get all those last minute budget orders in and praying that they all arrive before year end. After work, I had to drive into the city to the Shaw Cable company to get some answers to many questions we had. I came away with lots of food for thought as to what we really need in the way of internet, phone and cable tv. Everyone's deal is the best! lol. Headed back home and on the way stopped at the insurance office. We got the bill for adding Shyra to Kaeli's car insurance and it was more than we were lead to believe it would be. They were so nice at the office. The agent looked at the bill and even she said it didn't look right. Turns out that the head office or who ever sends the bills, had not taken into account Shyra's driver's training. That reduced the bill by $100.00. YAY! I was very impressed with the service...something that often times seems to be missing in the service industry now adays. Just might have to get them to give Garry and I a quote for car and house insurance in the new year!
Poor Shyra has a bad cold...she's all stuffed up and achy. Off to bed she's gone after a nice bowl of soup.
My positives:
A busy day at work, lots accomplished.
Still no snow, so driving into the city after work was a breeze.
Lots of questions anwered with Shaw.
Insurance office was great, Shyra's bill was reduced by $100.00. YAY!
A great evening to relax. My jammies are on and soon my feet will be up and I have a great book to read! My favorite pass time.
All of you, you keep me focused and enthused about my lifestyle journey.
It was nice to get back into a regular routine again as I headed back to work. I like having a schedule, not that I'm not flexible within that schedule, I just like the organization of a routine.
Snow has still held off, but we did have some freezing rain today. Snow is predicated now for the next 3 days, but the temperatures are still above zero, so not sure if we will actually get snow or if we will get rain. I'd rather the snow that the rain. When the temperatures drop then there is always the risk of black ice forming on the roads. Oh well, I'm not in control of the weather, so we'll take what we get and use common sense!
I won a ticket in a draw today at work. It gives me a free pass to go to the Festival of trees this weekend being held here in town. I'm excited about going, it will help get me into the Christmas spirit. Organizations decorate trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses etc and they are in turn put up for auction to help raise money for charity. I'm looking forward to seeing all the delights that are being offered. Maybe I'll even have the opportunity to bid on something! Woo Hoo!
19 more days until our Kaeli comes home from Greece. Just in time for her brother and her sisters birthdays, both of which are just before Christmas. Hard to believe that our baby will be 21 this year! Where has the time gone.
My positives:
Life is back into a routine again, always much easier to stay on track.
Winning a free pass to the Festival of Trees event.
Opportunity to chat with people today that I don't normally get a chance to chat with.
No snow as yet! Although that means I'm not burning calories with shoveling.
Friends and family.
God who gives me eternaly love.
Have a wonderful evening, keep on smiling and brightening the world around you.
I'm enjoying my last day off before heading back to work tomorrow. I even got myself together and tackled one closet in the hallway that needed to be primed yet before the new paint could go on. Boy, talk about being glad to get out of that closet....small space, paint fumes....hack, hack, hack, sniffle ,sniffle. Does look much better though. Feels like more progress is being made!
Decided to stay home today rather than heading into the city to do some Christmas looking. The roads were very icy today...freezing rain. Not my kind of comfortable driving weather, especially as it wasn't necessary driving that I would be doing. In stead...I'm sitting at the computer, catching up on emails, creating emails and playing a card game....oh so ambitious! lol.
Garry and Q wanted pork ribs for supper, so started those early this morning in the oven on very low, lots of BBQ sauce on them, and I've just put in some lovely big baking potatoes. Will make a salad and throw some veggies on to cook in awhile. A lazy day, but still managed to do all the things on my to do list. Mauri...I'm a list maker at heart...so love making those lists. Glad you got me started again!
I've decided to make some homemade bath products for the girls for Christmas. Going to the dollar store to see if they have any cannister type clear jars with tight fitting lids. Picking up some powder milk, epson salts and going to the aromatherapy store to get some nice smellies to add and voila! I will make some gifts! I'm thinking of some theme baskets to give to Garry's family. We usually just exchange "from our house to yours" type gifts...so made a movie night one, or for his one sister, perhaps a spa type one. More thought is needed.
My positives:
A great day off work.
My To Do list is done.
Primed the broom closet, still living to tell about it! lol
Finally decided on some Christmas presents....more decisions yet to come.
Supper in the oven and smelling good.
God, who despite me dragging my feet and occasionally questioning His judgement, still continues to surround me and encourage me.
Family and friends who bless my day in so many ways.
Have a wonderful evening,
I had such a wonderful and delightful day yesterday. Yep, my birthday and I woke up in the morning excited to meet a new day and already feeling blessed because I woke up!
I had some quiet time first thing in the morning, then headed for the computer to touch base with everyone, then off to Yoga class. I'm really enjoying the yoga, despite the fact that the next day ...I'm very sore! At least I know that my body is gettin a good stretch and it will become much more strengthened. Not so sure about the possibility of accomplishing a head stand in week six! That should be fun, definitely worth a great laugh anyway.
After Yoga came home to phone calls from Kaeli(in Greece), our granddaughter and then my brother and SIL. Garry and I then headed out the door to do some reno shopping and getting more ideas...a pass time that we both enjoy. Later Shy and I headed out to Greenland Nursery to see all the Christams decorations and enjoy some time wandering their big nursery. Love this time of year when people get the decorations out and all looks bright and happy.
My family took me out for supper to EastSide Marios where I enjoyed the Chicken Caesar salad with light dressing and piece of the nice hot bread they bring to the table. After supper we headed off to the grocery store to buy a Mousee cake for dessert. I had a small piece of that when we got home. Stayed within my calorie range nicely and with all the walking that I did during the day, got my exercise in too. Spent the rest of the evening just visiting with each other and enjoying our time together.
My Positives:
Although my body is sore this morning, it's a good sore from stretching muscles and working them.
Quiet time this morning to meditate.
A whole new day to look forward to, being opening to what ever blessings God has in store for me today.
My spark family who blesses me so incredibly.
My health and the spiritual lessons I've learned and still learning.
It's Serenity Sunday today and my wish for you is that you find that serenity within yourself and open yourself up to the wonderfully blessings that God brings into your life.
Many hugs,

JSC Watches showroom in NY City
Halle Berry, Oliver Martinez and daughter Nahla jet set out of LAX.
Nahla wears Jessica Simpson Kids Nev (in multi) from her Life Stride Kid collection.
Jessica Simpson Collection booth at Vision Expo East 2013
Vintage Star Store featuring the Jessica Simpson Collection in Shanghai – China
She's a world-famous triple threat: singer, actress and business woman. Jessica Simpson has really made quite the name for herself in the world of fashion over the past few years. Her on-trend and accessible namesake line of shoes, clothing and accessories is loved by women of all ages and style tastes.
We recently got to ask Jessica a few questions about her brand and what inspires her.
What is your design inspiration/process?
JS: I love to shop vintage, and I draw a lot of my inspiration from unique pieces I have found along the way. The collection is a family affair. My mom is one of my biggest inspirations and is so involved in the process, I couldn't do it without her. Ashlee works on the Jessica Simpson Girls line with us, we're a good team.
How did you get into the business?
JS: It all started seven years ago; I wanted to launch a collection of shoes. I can't believe how far we've come.
Who is the "Jessica Simpson girl"?
JS: She is every woman. I always design with every woman in mind. I am a down-to-earth girl and so are my fans – so not only do I want my collection to be fashionable and trend-right, but it is important that it be accessible for everyone, too.
What is your favorite part about being in the fashion industry?
JS: I love knowing that the women and girls who wear my clothes can say, 'Yeah, this is Jessica,' that I'm their friend and I have invested my time and my energy. I want everybody to feel like themselves in my clothes.
How do you balance all of the different hats you wear, personally and professionally?
JS: I love all of the facets of my career; I am blessed in this way. The biggest job in my life right now is being a mom to Maxwell. She's changed the way I think about everything.
What's your favorite trend to wear currently?
JS: I love how eclectic fashion is right now. Print mixing, embellishments, bold colors; it really give you the opportunity to have fun and make a statement.
What's your favorite style tip?
JS: My favorite tip is to always accessorize. You can wear a great pair of jeans with a t-shirt and a blazer and then POP the outfit with killer shoes and amazing jewelry!
Note: This interview took place in 2012

Linux Journal Contents #177, January 2009
It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems. Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer. But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.

Bull versus whatever
This is the last place on earth where I expect to find the old cliche of good vs evil. What (rich) people don't understand is that too much good breeds evil too: we become insensitive to other humans and rather label THEM the evils. How about a more balanced and peaceful approach? I know I'm off the subject, but I think I'm in the spirit of FOSS. How about a little bit of dualism? Let the good and evil compete- that's how progress is made- by COMPETING contraries.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Publisher's Description
Captain Dean Watters keeps his mission and his team in the forefront of his laser-like focus. So when Dean's mission and team are threatened, his Special Forces training kicks into high gear. Failing to stop hackers from stealing national security secrets from the military's secure computers and networks isn't an option. Zahrah Zarrick is a missionary teacher to Afghan children in Mazar-e Sharif. And a target. When Zahrah is captured because of her expertise in quantum cryptology, compromising the US military, Dean is forced to crack the lockbox around his heart—a move that might come at the highest cost.
Author Bio

After twenty-plus years of marriage, she and her hunky hero husband have a full life with their four children, a Maltese Menace, and a retired military working dog in Northern Virginia.

Editorial Reviews
"Raptor 6″ is definitely a must read book. Dont wait too long to pick up a copy.
Fast paced, filled with action, romance, faith, secrets,hackers, a disappearance, danger, suspense, a bit of romance and lots of high-octane military-stye action.
Ms. Kendig, will grab you on the first page and not let you go, even on the very last page. She has done the Military proud with her true to life stories, and the way she honors their heroism, and their fight for freedom. I can't wait for the next installment. You know by the ending, this is NOT the ending, just, the beginning! A must-read Military Suspense! Well done, indeed!
A book that makes you question what you would do and forces you to look at our world, our military and the people who really exist in the midst of war.
The cost is very high and Ronie Kendig does a wonderful job of portraying war, life, death, politics, family, faith, strength and dignity in the presence of chaos.
This is a series to watch and an author to pay attention to as more books come out!

GingerS2194 Stars Out Of 5Another excellent story by Ronie KendigJuly 1, 2014GingerS219Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My fifteen-year-old daughter grabbed this one as soon as she found out I had it. Her first question when she was done was, "When's the next one coming out?"
I had a hard time getting into this book, but I persevered because I KNOW that Ronie Kendig is an excellent writer. After the first chapter or so, I was hooked, as I knew I would be. Ms. Kendig managed to take us into the dark places we rarely think about--and would prefer not to experience--to give us what I assume is a fairly accurate portrayal of life as a special forces serviceman/woman. In her typical manner, she showed us the dangers they face every day as they fight for our freedom.
Kudos to Ronie Kendig for another excellent book, though the romantic in me would have preferred a bit more romance. :)
***I received this book from the author/publisher in return for an honest review.
Doc HiltonHorseshoe Bend, ARAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Special Ops action and a passion for others!June 13, 2014Doc HiltonHorseshoe Bend, ARAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Meets Expectations: 5The heart doesn't choose an appropriate moment to stake its claim.
That much Captain Dean "Raptor Six" Watters finds out in one big hurry. He and his team are situated in an area where tensions are high, and millions of lives hang in the balance. Ten military super-secure computers have "gone missing," and the military intelligence contained in their memories is close to being on the open-market.
Zahrah Zarrick, a missionary teacher to Afghan children, is the unwitting key to this modern-day Pandora's Box. While her heart is on her sleeve for the children she's teaching, her expertise in quantum cryptology makes her the prime target for the hackers who are committed to the downfall of the United States.
Raptor Six and his team are playing catch-up, as Zahrah disappears before they can make contact. With the clock ticking, Dean is finally coming to grips with the stakes that are at hand in this game - and the fact that his heart is "all in" just makes this one hand he cannot afford to lose.
Ronie Kendig writes with a passion for Special Forces and their cause without reservation or apology. While some of the foreign language words and phrases are difficult to grasp at first, and with no a glossary dedicated only to military terminology and acronymns, it was a bit difficult for me to get a handle on some of the communication. However, the context eventually sorted it out for me; it just takes a little work. Which compels the dedicated reader that much further into the book. With Ronie Kendig at the helm - is this really a bad thing?
5 stars for Special Ops action, suspense and a passion for others by Ronie Kendig!
Debbie WilderSalinas, CAAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5This is a fantastic Christian military novel!June 13, 2014Debbie WilderSalinas, CAAge: 55-65Gender: femaleRonie has created an incredible cast of characters for this novel. When I first looked over the list she included at the front of the book I felt very overwhelmed by the number of individuals that are integral to the story. But when I pushed that aside and started reading the story I was able to follow who was who simply by the wonderful way she introduced each one and described them. It was presented slowly as she needed to over the course of building the intricate plot in this story.
She has a marvelous talent for describing surroundings and action that put me in the middle of things. The plot was very carefully woven with enough twists to keep me guessing as to where it was going.
There were a handful of times that the point-of-view would change and I would deal with some momentary confusion as to who was talking. Backing up to the beginning of the section and re-reading was all it took to sort it out though.
I'm looking forward to finding out the next segment of the overall story in the next book of this series.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
