Star Wars' Stumble Points to Free, Open Future for Online Worlds
- Monday November 19, 2012
The $15-a-month subscription game is dying. But it's not because players are cheap, it's because they're bored.
The $15-a-month subscription game is dying. But it's not because players are cheap, it's because they're bored.
In the age of free-to-play, does the monthly subscription model have a snowball's chance in hell? Fortunately for us here on the Game|Life podcast, Wired.com managing editor and MMO expert Marty Cortinas returns this week to offer his opinion on the subject.
The team behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age says that multiplayer and online interactivity will play integral roles in many of its upcoming games.
When Angry Birds is the modern-day Pac-Man, what can Nintendo and Sony really do?
A confession: I have little experience in the world of online role-playing games. I did not fall under the spell of World of Warcraft, nor did I ever play Star Wars Galaxies. These games have spawned their own vocabulary, rules and in some cases etiquette. I understand none of it. (Though I'm learning.) [partner id="arstechnica"] […]
We soldier on without Game|Life honcho Chris Kohler, who claims he was working overtime raising money for sick kids. Fear not! Wired senior editors Chris Baker and Peter Rubin and Wired.com managing editor Marty Cortinas recruit a replacement.
The upcoming massively multiplayer PC game attempts to satisfy not only fans who want to explore sprawling worlds and kill giant monsters, but also those who are looking for a deep, personal storyline.
It's lunchtime during the first of two Star Wars: The Old Republic immersion days at the EA Redwood Shores campus, and the game designers leading the event are panicking: Everyone is talking about Portal 2. Instead of discussing the three exclusive hours of SWTOR we just played, most of the writers are chatting about the […]
Facebook parody RPG Fantasy University is now in open beta, developer Simutronics said Wednesday. Described as "the premier fallback institution for students rejected by Hogwarts," Fantasy University is "free-ish" to play and available to the public on Facebook. Fantasy University plays like a two-dimensional text-heavy RPG, with turn-based combat and a large variety of skills […]
Though Facebook games have a reputation for being addictive, they're also seen as far too simple to satisfy the serious gamer. David Whatley, president and CEO of Simutronics, hopes that his company's new game will live up to the rigorous standards of the hard-core.

NAGPUR: It's celebration time for the vibrant Bengali community in the city. Amid preparations for the impending Durga pujo what's adding to the excitement is the Bengali Drama festival which is scheduled to be held from 12th October at Vasantrao Deshpande hall.
Organized jointly by the Bengali Education Society, Bengali Association and the Pashchim Nagpur Bangio Samiti, the three-day theatre festival will feature Soumitra Chattopadhyay's play 'Tritiya Onko - Otoeb' in which the actor will share stage with his daughter Poulomi Basu. 'Hridmajhare', an adaptation from William Shakespeare's 'As you like it', will be staged on the second day. A mega hit in W. Bengal this play features prominent actors Anirban Ghosh, Bindiya Ghosh and Anirban Roy Chowdhury. Bhishma Sahni's play 'Madhavi', to be staged on the concluding day has been directed by noted actress Swatilekha Sengupta and features legendary actor Rudraprasad Sengupta and Dev Shankar Haldar.
It is after a very long gap that theatre returns during pujo celebrations in the city. For eighty long years, theatre was regularly held during Durga Puja says Shyamal Chatterjee a theatre enthusiast who acted in these plays for twenty years. "At the Durga puja pandal in Dhantoli, dramas used to be staged after midnight when the exhibition closed," he says. Those were times when there were no restrictions for pandals to close by eleven. The plays used to be local adaptations of popular Bangala dramas staged in Kolkata. Luminaries like Tarun Bhaduri would actively take part in the presentations. "Political plays were very popular but we had to take police permission for staging them," says Chatterjee. These plays used to go on till wee hours but by late eighties police strictures and waning audience interests gradually put a stop to this activity.
Theatre was replaced by Bengali cinema which would be screened in the pandals between 10pm till midnight but that too stopped due to an insipid response.
For the theatre loving Bengali population in the city, this festival comes as a much desired event. "We are trying to revive the theatre culture in our community through this event," says Pradip Ganguly, secretary of Bengali Education Society. Describing the timing of the event as a coincidence which they all have liked he adds, "We have come back with these extremely popular mega plays and hope to make this an annual event." Most of the legendary actors in the plays are well into their seventies. They are active and doing a fine job on the stage. "But if we delay staging these plays in the city for another couple of years they may not be willing to make the journey," says Ganguly. The festival will be inaugurated by noted playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar.
The organizers are issuing season passes for the festival but say that they are turning down many requests. "The last two rows in Deshpande hall are not fit for seating. Thus we are able to issue only eight hundred passes," says Ajit Bose, one of the organizers.

Hi everyone,
I was looking over my plants today, when, suprise, I found a newly forming peduncle on my lacunosa "Ruby Sue"! My fungii continues to grow like Audrey II, which, now that I think about it, seems like a better nickname for it, but I digress. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that "Ruby Sue" will (at least) try to bloom for me. When I had my regular lacunosa a few years ago, it did bloom for me in February, so we'll see :). Oh, and all of my Hoyas and other house plants (save for my Thanksgiving Cacti and Christmas Cactus) are back inside. Anyone else have their plants moved back in yet? Brad AKA Moonwolf |

Hi Brad - congrats on that peduncle! Fingers crossed indeed! Here in eastern TN, I've moved everyone indoors now. Temps have dropped into the low 50s overnight, and next week there may be lows in the upper 30s! Yep, it's that time... |
I am moving a bunch in every night after work. A cold front is supposed to come in this weekend so gotta get a move on it. Susan |

Congrats on the peduncles Brad. I have already moved all of my hoyas back inside as well. Normally I wouldn't do this until mid to late October. We don't usually have frost during the month of October but every now and again we'll get an early during that last week of the month. I only moved them back in early because it rained every day of August and they were staying too wet. david |
I don't keep very many of my Hoyas outside, and the few that are out will stay out until they predict lows in the low 40's. Most seem to do fine at those temps as long as it warms during the day. Last night, we had our first decent rain in months. It never fails to amaze me how plants perk up and look amazing after a good rain. I'm starting to move stuff in slowly - I like to give each one a serious once-over to check for bugs, clean them up, etc. It's been such a weird year, though, I figure we could easily have an early frost. I noticed my first locusts "singing" back about mid-July, which is unusually early here. Farmers used to say you could count on the first frost 6 weeks after the locusts start singing. Thankfully, those old wives tales aren't always true! Denise in Omaha |
Thank you, everyone! Luckily, there have been no chances of frost yet, but we've come close. Some nights have dipped down into the upper 30's here, so look out ohmybloomers! You're probably not that far behind. My TC and CC that are still outside are hanging and/or sitting underneath the roof of the little wooden porch and against the wall of the house, so far, they are doing great. Denise, I have never heard the old wives tale about the locusts and the frost. So glad you guys are finally getting some rain! We had a mostly dry summer but not as bad as the Midwest. This is OT, but I just had to mention that my Moonflower Vines started blooming last night. I was out there earlier tonight enjoying tonight's lone blossom (mom forgot to tell me I had one blossom last night too lol). I hear you about the weather! It's been very wacky this year. I read a while back, they're calling for it to be a harsh w-i-n-t-e-r. I love snow, but not shoveling it! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

Hey Brad...Good to see you:-) I have had to haul many of my plants inside too. Then I feel bad for them when I see temps into the 70's by day, so back out they go. I never expected any of mine to bloom until I decided to look them over a few days ago and see flowers starting on all of them. I guess they are happy campers. It sure was a delight to see that I could even get flowers on young cuttings too. I saw the Farmers Almanac and it does not bode well for the North East this year. I guess the only good about that is it might kill all the bugs held over from last years winter such as Ticks and Mosquitos, and we might make up for the rain deficit and lack of insulation that killed a lot of my bushes. Have a great night Mike |

American University Washington College of Law (WCL) is the law school of American University. It is located on Massachusetts Avenue in the American University Park section of Northwest Washington, D.C. The school is fully accredited by the American Bar Association, and a member of the AALS.
WCL is ranked 72nd in the nation in the Best Law Schools by U.S. News & World Report.[4] Begun in 1896, it is the first law school to be founded by women, the first with a female dean, and the first to graduate an all-female class.
According to WCL's 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 45.6% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[5]
Early beginnings[edit]
Mussey and Gillett began teaching in Mussey's law offices in 1898 after they were approached by three women who wished to study with them. Not originally intending to create a full-fledged law school, they requested the law school of Columbian College to accept the six women for their final year. When Columbian refused the request on the ground that "women did not have the mentality for law", the two women determined to complete the students' education themselves and to found a co-educational law school that was specifically open to women.[6]
With its first graduating class, the Washington College of Law became the first law school to be founded by women, the first with a female dean, and the first law school to graduate an all-female class. A year later, Mussey's male law clerk enrolled in 1897, making the school officially coeducational.
Continuing growth[edit]
Washington D.C. incorporated WCL in 1898. After several temporary locations, the school moved to the Le Droit Building on 8th & F Streets in 1900. Enrollment rose to 55 students by 1908 and doubled in five years to 128 students. Dean Mussey secured a lease in 1909 in the Chesley Building on New York Ave, until the school outgrew the six-classroom lease. The school moved to its first permanent home in 1920; the former residence of Robert G. Ingersoll on K Street. Continually growing, WCL moved in 1924 to the former home of Oscar Underwood, and former residence of Archibald Butt. WCL merged with American University in 1949 [6] and graduated its first African American student in 1953.
The Women & the Law Program was launched in 1948, to promote the integration of women's rights and gender studies into legal education, practice and doctrine.[7]
After years of work by Dean Myers, a John Sherman Myers Law School building was constructed on the American University main campus and dedicated in 1963 by Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren. In the same year, Senator Robert Byrd graduated from WCL after ten years of night study classes, the first time a sitting member of Congress had begun and completed a law degree while serving.[7]
Move to current location[edit]
By 1988, WCL had grown to over 1,000 students. Dean Milstein pushed for a new building, and in 1996 WCL moved less than a mile to The John Sherman Myers and Alvina Reckman Myers Law Center. The building was two and a half times larger than the previous Myers building, and included the new Pence Law Library.[8]
Academic reputation[edit]
WCL's Master of Laws (LL.M.) program ranks 13th nationally in the 2012 AUAP rankings.[9] The Brian Leiter Law School rankings placed the WCL 47th in the 2012 Top 70 Law Faculties in Scholarly Impact.[10] National Jurist ranked WCL the fifth best law school for Hispanic students in 2008.[11] It ranked WCL the fourth best public interest law school in the nation.[12]
U.S. News & World Report ranks WCL 72nd in the nation among the 145 ranked schools. WCL is also well known for its clinical training, international law, intellectual property and part-time programs, which are ranked 3rd, 5th, 7th, 12th in the nation respectively.[13]
The school is well known for its strong programs in both human rights and public interest law. WCL's Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) provides scholarships to students who obtain unpaid summer internships with public interest organizations.[14]
Costs and student debt[edit]
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) at WCL for the 2014-2015 academic year is $73,002.[15] The Law School Transparency estimated debt-financed cost of attendance for three years is $272,373.[16] According to U.S. News & World Report, the average indebtedness of 2013 graduates who incurred law school debt was $158,636 (not including undergraduate debt), and 88% of 2013 graduates took on debt.[17]
Employment outcomes[edit]
According to WCL's official 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 45.6% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[5] WCL's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 28.6%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2013 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.[18]
WCL receives over 5,000 applications annually for its full-time program.[20] For the 2013 admissions cycle, WCL received 5264 applications. It enrolls 1,646 students, 55 percent of whom are female.[21]
The 2013 incoming class had a median undergraduate GPA of 3.42 and a median LSAT of 157 (out of 180).[22]
There was 31% minority representation in the 2011 entering class[23] with representation from 42 States.
Degrees offered[edit]
WCL offers the Juris Doctor (J.D.), Master of Laws (LL.M.) in either international or constitutional law, and Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) degrees.[24]

Clinical program[edit]
WCL's clinical program is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. The school was one of the first law schools to develop a modern clinical legal education program. With over 200 students participating in the 11 clinics every year, the program is one of the largest in the country.[26]
The clinic serves a variety of clients including immigrants and refugees, victims/survivors of domestic violence, juveniles, criminal defendants, low-income taxpayers, individuals seeking help with family law, consumer, disability, and intellectual property issues, community groups and nonprofit organizations.

Spragens Federal Tax Clinic, Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Law Clinic, Immigrant Justice Clinic, International Human Rights Law Clinic, and Women and the Law Clinic.
Study abroad programs[edit]
WCL's study abroad program is considered to be among the best in the country, with 30% of the student body studying abroad every year. In 2012, the National Jurist recognized it as one of the "most robust study abroad programs out of the 200 U.S. Law Schools." [27]
Students are able to study law for a semester in over 18 countries. WCL also offers summer abroad programs in Chile, Europe (London, Paris, Geneva and The Hague), Turkey, and Israel.
Campus and facilities[edit]
The John Sherman Myers and Alvina Reckman Myers Law Center is located at 4801 Massachusetts Avenue, with another set of offices located at 4910 Massachusetts Avenue, in the northwest edge of Washington, D.C., near the Maryland state line. The facility was completed in 1996 and lies within the boundaries of the American University Park residential neighborhood. The law school building is less than a mile from the main American University campus, however a shuttle system is available for students and staff to travel between the two locations.[28] The building is accessible to students and faculty 24/7 with the use of an AU ID card.
The Pence Law Library[edit]
The Pence Law Library is 54,000 square feet, with more than 600,000 volumes, access to multiple databases, 14 group-study rooms and seating for over 600.[29] The library is open 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week to students and faculty with the use of an AU ID card.[30]
The library collection includes European Community and US government depositories and the Baxter Collection in International Law. Students and faculty also have access to the university's library, the Library of Congress, specialized agency libraries, and other area law libraries electronically.[29]
The National Jurist placed WCL's Library 41st out of 199 in its Best Law Libraries ranking.[31]
Planned relocation[edit]
In April 2012, the D.C. Zoning Commission approved the plans for American University Washington College of Law to relocate from Spring Valley to American University's Tenley Campus. The approval of plans for further processing and zoning variances for the law school was handed down after American University's full campus plan was approved in March. Moving forward, the law school's Space Committee will be working with offices, departments, programs, faculty, and staff to move to the design phase.

22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, | 22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. |
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry. | 23 They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life." And the disciples were filled with grief. |
24 When they were come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachmas came to Peter, and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?" | 24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax ?" |
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?" | 25 "Yes, he does," he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes--from their own sons or from others?" |
26 Peter said to him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the sons are exempt. | 26 "From others," Peter answered. "Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. |

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOOOOOOLLLLLFFFFFF. *nomnomnom*
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffHaha. One of their best, if you ask me.
Great review Tom. I especially appreciated that you mentioned "The Chauffeur" - I love that track!
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThanks, PenguinPants, appreciate it. The Chauffer is one of my all time faves from DD. Love it.
Album Rating: 4.0omg I thought I knew 2 or 3 songs by Duran Duran (guilty pleasure) at a maximum and now I read that review I realize I know couple more. New Wave is not my thing, I'm too proghead for that. Good review, pos.
'The Chauffeur' and 'New Religion' are so good
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffCheers, Jethro42, thanks for the pos. Deviant. - I think 'The Chauffeur' is the most underated Duran Duran song. Possibly my fave by them.
Very nice review tom, quick, concise and clear. You'll be happy to know that I led about a dozen or so (very) drunk (and also very gay, as it so happened...) college kids in a hungry like the wolf sing-along on thursday night. Don't remember the reason for the occasion but it definitely happened. Cheers.
Nice one Tom, and holy crap I didn't even know this album was so old.... Hungry Like The Wolf is classic
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffCheers, iFghtffyrdmns. Haha, i would've joined in if i was there : ) There doesn't need to be a reason to sing 'Hungry Like the Wolf' - it just HAS to be done from time time, lol.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThanks, bloc. I know, dude, almost 30 years old - pretty long time when you think about it. It stands the test of time well, though, i think.
It really does. I think the production on this album is fantastic which really keeps it timeless.
Album Rating: 2.5i havent heard this in like 8 years
Digging: Bjork - Vulnicura
Crap Yeti already made the Hungry Like The Wolf reference.
Hungry like the wolf reminds me of the bj scene in old school. Really great review, enjoyed it thoroughly. My only confusion stems from the score you gave the album - you said that besides the singles, their work is forgettable. How does that translate into a superb album? Still pos'd it anyways
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Offlancebramsay - I understand your confusion, but i gave it a 4 for 2 main reasons: 1) Because the highs are so HIGH they drag the score up a little. 2) Also, the album is important in terms of music history. It's one of the most successful and recognisable new wave albums ever made, and its songs and the band have impacted the pop genre in a long standing way. Hope that helped, and thanks a lot for the pos, i appreciate it.

the bassline in rio will fuck you up if you keep questioning this review rating
I believe that nostalgia skews people's perception often making their eyes blind to flaw. I am really nit-picking though. The basslines are indeed intoxicating.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffIts not bad, though - I never said it was. I just said the non singles were LESS memorable. As for nostalgia, i wasn't even alive when this album was released so that doesn't come into it. But i can see what you mean, man, and agree that reviews should be objective. I always try to review objectively and i take the scores very seriously, including here. This was either going to be a 3.5 or 4 for me, and after considering the two reasons i made earlier, i thought the 0.5 increase was justified.

It is a common refrain among the elderly (17+) that we are glad the Internet wasn't around when we were children because we can only imagine the countless embarrassing things we would have published for all the world to see that would have continued to follow us well into our adult lives, ruining our employment prospects, our relationships, and our lives. What the elderly often forget, of course, is that everything is relative, and that while we almost certainly would have done exactly what we fear we would have done, and while the current crop of idiots (read: children) are no different, publishing hundreds of thousands of hours each day of unwatchable video evidence to their own cluelessness about the way the world works, the end result is that since EVERYONE is doing it now it no longer matters, because when they are President it will be expected that everyone has a bong rips lip dub video. If anything it's going to be HARDER to get a job if you don't have an entire lifetime of unfortunate web history behind you because what kind of ALIEN didn't try to vlog about pooping their pants on the bus when they were in elementary school and hit "upload" even though the video was 15 minutes long and involved their dad coming in and ruining everything? This is America! So what I am saying is OK, yeah, sure, Jorel's rockin' bar mitzvah invitation video might turn out to be mildly embarrassing to him as he gets older (say, 14?) but it's also the thing that's going to get him elected MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW MCDONALDS SPONSORED BY AQUAHYDRATE IN ZONE 13.
They grow up so fast, but also not, you know? (Thanks for the tip, Hamish.)

How come the only cool videos from kids are Bar Mitzvah invitations? "Becoming a Woman" was much more traumatic for me and there was nothing cool about it.
No human has ever had the reaction to getting their first periods that the girls in that book have. Excitement? Anticipation? Happiness?? Try Dread. Try Anxiety. Try Humiliation.
At first, I thought I was pooping my pants without realizing. Then, when I figured out it was blood, I thought I was dying of cancer. Would've been nice to get some kind of heads-up from my mom.
Oh geez, I've tried to put my feelings about period shame in a comment and I just have too many. Can we just all have a bookgum about this book? I've wanted to read it for a while.
Also, I have a giant stuffed tampon with googly eyes that I have named "Koty" and I love it. I just don't understand why this taboo is still happening. ARGH, I'm all worked up about it.
They're also not covered by food stamps because they're considered A LUXURY ITEM. Whenever there's a food drive, donate tampons. I could not be kidding less.

Seven UGA students are attempting to influence their fellow students' environmental concerns, teaming with The Wilderness Society to develop a blog that will help spread the organization's conservationist message.
The site - "Wilderness U - Georgia," at wildernessugeorgia.wordpress.com - launched Tuesday and will attempt to engage students from UGA and other college campuses in the state on a variety of green issues.
While plenty of city schools, from elementary to secondary, teach students about environmental issues like endangered species or global warming, places like the Green School put an overwhelming emphasis on civic involvement.
The students are encouraged to delve into local issues that may affect them and their families, like contamination in waterways like the Gowanus Canal, water quality or the razing of low-scale housing.

Well a white tail deer anyway lol!!!! She said the back of her brand new car looked like an accordion.
I told her the next time she sees a deer coming up behind her in her rear view mirror to move over the the next lane and let the deer pass lol!!!!!! Her DIL was broadsided by one the same week. One year my other sis was hit by FIVE deer in one year. This is hunting season and Turkey Day is a HUGE hunting event around here. The deer panic and run onto the streets. We are driving over to the coast tomorrow and we have bought the sonar thingies to put on the car to warn the little deers we are close by. I hope the things work lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosa |
Follow-Up Postings:
You know, hardly a day goes by that we don't have deer here on our property EXCEPT during hunting season. I'm beginning to think that they hunker down in some secret underground bunkers for the duration. |
Rosa, is she okay? I assume insurance will pay to fix the car. A friend of mine knows a guy who had a deer jump into the open car window as he was driving! I'm glad I live in town! :) Though we do have armadillos, possums and racoons and small stuff like that. Donna |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Wed, Nov 24, 10 at 19:01
Rosa, my Dad swore by those sonar thingies. He never hit a deer after he found out about them. So, go for it. |
The deer all hunker down where we live during hunting season. My DH works for the local conservation authority and we live in a park. Those deer are smart....we see so many more during hunting season than any other time of the year! |
The deer here learn at a very young age that the only way to cross a road is in front of a moving vehicle. After losing two vans I've switched to a nice big pickup truck. Now all I have to do when I hit one is to wash off the front of the truck and replace those sonar thingies that they keep knocking off. Much better! Bon :) |
I live in an urban area so we don't see many deer. But I also sometimes drive between LA and Vancouver where there are lots of woods. I try very hard not to be on the road at dusk or around daybreak and if I have to, I want someone in the car with me spotting the sides of the road while I look straight ahead. Even so, I've had to do it alone at night. It's the most stressful kind of driving I can think of. But maybe when you've survived a collision or two it gets easier. I suspect I'd be completely traumatized even if the car and the deer survived! Glad your sister walked away from it! |

Burdock seeds |
No reviews yet. Be the first. |
Burdock is known as an alternative and blood purifier.
Blood purifer used for eczema, psoriasis, toxins, skin conditions, digestion and much more.
Traditional Uses: Arthritis, Healthy Skin, Hair, and Nails, Immunity / Immune Disorders, Psoriasis, Urinary Tract Infections and Inflammation, Eczema (Dermatitis), Rheumatoid Arthritis, Liver Disorders, Gout, Kidney Disorders, Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), Dermatitis, Gallbladder Disorders, Rheumatism, Skin Disorders, Rheumatoid Neuralgia, Carbuncles.
Burdock is known herbally as an alterative and blood purifier, and it is most commonly used in chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, where it will help the body eliminate toxins and move toward a healthful systemic balance.
Burdock root is somewhat diuretic and diaphoretic, and it is excreted by the kidneys and sweat glands, accounting for its usefulness in skin conditions. Burdock is useful in promoting overall health, especially when used in chronic, longstanding conditions. Burdock fuses the flavors of potato and celery. The roots is used fresh in cooking and most commonly is scrubbed or peeled, chopped and steamed for about 30 minutes or sauteed for about 15 minutes in several changes of cold water before cooking. This will help keep its whole color. The dried root is used in teas.
Burdock is a very tough plant - no pest problems. It grows easily from seed. Annual, start seeds indoor. The seeds can be sown outside once the soil has warmed up.
We carefully select our produce varieties for excellent taste and quality. Our produce is grown without pesticides or herbicides resulting in highly nutritious food and healthy soil.

Problem Ripping Using WMP 12 and Windows 7
Strange problem.
I bought six CDs today. Four ripped perfectly, the other two play sort of jumpy and of course wouldn't rip. So I tried one of the offending CDs in another machine with xp. Played perfectly. Any ideas? |
My System Specs |
17 Mar 2012 | #2 |
Are those CD's commercial audio CD's or are they something someone made?
Do they have copy protection on them? Some of those are iffy when played on a PC. Win 7 has some "DRM" (Digital Rights Management) that XP does not have and if they are copy protected that MAY be an issue (not that it is the problem, but something to consider). If it comes to it, you can rip them to the hard drive as wav files in XP and then burn your own Audio CD and then play that or rip it on your Win 7 machine. |

Hi, yes they are all commercial retail CDs. I've checked the covers and discs and there is nothing on them to suggest copyright protection.
I have now managed to rip one at 1x speed! Gary |

Some problems are related to the optical drive itself. (Brand, dust, failing laser, heat, etc.) Also check to see if you have the correct Region set for the drive if you're using DVDs. (Device Manager > optical drive > Properties > DVD Region tab.) Let the optical drive cool down about 10-15 minutes and try one of the questionable discs again.

Download the free Audiograbber CD Ripping Program (what I use) and see if they will Rip with this program. But, there may be a problem with the drive you are using.

It rips fine with some CDs not on others. One recent one ripped perfectly.
Another which probably pre-dates copyright protection software not only won't rip, but plays slowly and kind of jumps as well, but works fine on my older machine |

About the only other thing I can think of is the actual drive. A faster read speed may have something to do with it. The other issue would be a hardware problem with the laser and it doesn't have the needed intensity for some discs and/or not calibrating correctly which would be an internal hardware problem with the drive. The laser is supposed to calibrate (set the intensity) for each disc based on the calibration track on the disc. The first thing the drive does when you load a disc is the laser reads the calibration track and then sets the needed intensity.
The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to suggest you replace the drive. If it's a drive in a PC under warranty, contact the PC vendor. If it's not in warranty, www.newegg.com is a good place to look for a new drive. They are relatively inexpensive (under $30 for a decent CD/DVD burner drive). Just get the correct interface type, SATA or PATA (IDE). If its a PATA drive, set the device type correctly (most PC's use Cable Select rather than Master/Slave). |

Message "NTLDR is missing" is stopping the boot process
I would first try building a boot floppy, see Knowledge Base article Q301680 -- this would allow you to boot then copy the NTLDR file from within Win2k.

If that fails, try the R for repair option by booting off the CD -- this may create the NTLDR file for you. If that fails, grab the NTFS4DOS tools from SystemInternals (www.sysinternals.com or www.winternals.com) -- this tool grants you read/write access to a NTFS partition when booting from a DOS floppy.
