Catholicism in Nineteenth-Century American Literature
Catholicism in Nineteenth-Century American Literature
Insofar as the American colonies were settled and the nation founded predominantly by Protestants, the culture of America in the nineteenth century was mainly characterized by the Protestant spirit. Despite a period of toleration immediately following the Revolutionary War when Protestant-Catholic relations were cordial, anti-Catholicism broke out in the early nineteenth century and took on a definite shape and direction with the nativist movement, which waged war against Mormonism, the Masonic Order, and Catholicism. Historians offer various explanations for the phenomenon of nativism occurring at that point in American history as well as for its vast sweep and special virulence. But it is generally agreed that it was a convergence of the political ideals and religious beliefs by which most Americans defined themselves, and the sudden and dramatic increase in the sheer number of Catholic immigrants that produced nativism and, particularly, anti-Catholicism. The Roman Catholic Church seemed to nativists the antithesis of America's democratic ideals—the Roman Church was conspicuously hierarchical and authoritarian and so, it was assumed, politically anti-democratic. Its belief in celibacy for clergy made it appear anti-social; its rites were mystical and, therefore, ran counter to the purely ethical religion and natural theology prevalent in the Protestant churches of the nineteenth century; and the highly cultured and learned Roman Magesterium clashed with strong egalitarian instincts, especially during the era of Jacksonian democracy.
The movement spawned some mob violence, the most famous being the burning of the Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in the mid-1830s. But nativism was largely an ideological movement that produced vast quantities of published material alleging vicious depredations on the part of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as seditiousness, superstitions, and perversions of Christian belief and virtue. The persistent focus of this literature was on the convents as the element of Catholicism to be feared the most, because it was believed that they would enslave and corrupt free and wholesome American womanhood. It was the widely-read nativist anti-Catholic tract Awful Disclosures (1836) by Maria Monk, a young Ursuline nun, that incited the burning of the convent she had fled (and later voluntarily sought to return to) in Charlestown. Many other similar, popular exposés, like Rebecca Reed's Six Months in a Convent (1835) were published in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. Convents, it is generally agreed, were the main target of nativist attacks on Catholicism because, as closed societies, they appealed at once to prurience and to popular suspicions of what appeared to be "foreign" and not generally understood. Besides the exposés, many articles, tracts, and books were published which advanced theological and historical arguments attacking papal authority, priestly celibacy, the confessional, and the veneration of saints, among other issues.
In response, the Catholic press produced a large number of works in which the Catholic faith was defended and Protestantism, in turn, was attacked. Catholics also countered by attempting to undo the libel against convent life and to discredit the false accounts of "renegades" like Maria Monk. In addition, the Catholic Church reacted by drawing the theological lines between itself and Protestantism more emphatically. Its most effective line of defense was the parish school: many school texts were published, along with a growing number of devotional guides for the average Catholic, which stressed the exclusivity of the "one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church." Much less strident than the Protestant assault, the Catholic response aimed to persuade rather than revile by showing the weaknesses of Protestantism's intellectual positions, which it frankly disdained as historically disingenuous and theologically simplistic. One of the most prolific and vociferous of the nineteenth-century Catholic writers was Orestes Brownson, a lay convert, who asserted that the logic of Protestantism, which kept it in perpetual revolt, would also lead inevitably to atheism. Much of the Catholic argument was devoted to the Reformation of the sixteenth century; here, in the Catholic view, lay the root cause of the present religious, moral, and civil decay, for Protestants had rejected the religious and moral authority of the church.
The Catholic novel, too, was a means of defending and propagating the faith. In the thirty-six years between 1829 and 1865 almost fifty specifically pro-Catholic novels were written (largely by priests of varying skill) and published. Unlike many of its Protestant counterparts, the Catholic novel propagandized not with sensational gothic tales of kidnapping, seduction, and rapine, but with mannered, sentimental romances illustrating the way good Catholics lived and practiced their religion. Because of the difficult task of at once disproving Protestantism and converting Protestants to Catholicism, Catholic fiction became, on the one hand, excessively sentimental in its attempt to appeal to the prevailing tastes of novel readers, and, on the other hand, too abstract and discursive. Either tendency, as Orestes Brownson, who was also a critic and novelist, pointed out, rendered a work less effective. A few Catholic writers of this period approached their task by deemphasizing the more exclusive forms of Catholicism and emphasizing their common American patriotic sentiments.
Just as the Catholic response to rampant anti-Catholicism reached high tide around mid-century, the public image of Catholics suddenly turned favorable. The more strident anti-Catholicism that decried all priests and other religious orders as demonic gave way to a view of them as exemplars of Christian virtue. This change is evident in the treatment of the role of the nun in fiction from the middle to the end of the nineteenth century: depicted before 1860 as a demonic perpetrator of the "evils" of Catholicism, between 1860 and 1870 she was described as a woman of supreme, unworldly virtue, and finally, in the last three decades of the century, she became simply a good woman whose antiquated religion rendered her incompetent to do the good she desires.
The Catholic novel changed accordingly after 1860. Becoming more and more the occupation of lay writers, it was transformed from a thinly-veiled apologetic treatise to a more thoroughly literary product that had largely assimilated and affirmed American culture. This secularization was already a tendency in Catholic fiction before 1850, and Orestes Brownson, who saw the novel as the most effective mode of apologetics, severely criticized the trend in his reviews as dangerous to Catholic integrity. But after 1850 the tendency became the rule, one which even Brownson found all but irresistible. By the end of the century, anti-Catholicism remained but was submerged under a broad civil tolerance effected by an increasingly secularized American society.

[In the following excerpt, Welter summarizes some of the enduring themes of the nativist crusade of nineteenth-century America, and illustrates some of its institutional arguments by focusing on the popular anti-Catholic tract Awful Disclosures, by Maria Monk]
American historians are willing to spare few of our cherished illusions. George Washington's cherry tree and Thomas Jefferson's family life have vanished with our lost passenger pigeons. It is, therefore, not surprising that our boast to be a nation dedicated to religious freedom has also been refuted.
When the Statue of Liberty, symbol of a safe harbor for tempest-tossed souls, was completed in 1886, its symbolic lamp was dimmed by the prior publication of Josiah Strong's Our Country, a best seller extolling undiluted Anglo-Saxon racial and religious purity.1 The Haymarket Riot, which John Higham termed "the most important single incident in late nineteenth-century nativism,"2 occurred in the same year. It was, however, only one incident in a very long line of nativist hostilities, of which those involving...

SOURCE: "Some Themes of Counter-Subversion: An Analysis of Anti-Masonic, Anti-Catholic, and Anti-Mormon Literature," in From Homicide to Slavery: Studies in American Culture, Oxford University Press, 1986, pp. 137-154.
[In this essay, originally published in 1960, Davis analyzes various themes of anti-Catholic, anti-Masonic, and anti-Mormon literature in nineteenth-century America, suggesting that it tended to subvert the established order it claimed to protect by liberating certain irrational impulses against an imagined enemy.]
During the second quarter of the nineteenth century, when danger of foreign invasion appeared increasingly remote, Americans were told by various respected leaders that Freemasons had infiltrated the government and had seized control of the courts, that Mormons were undermining political and economic freedom in the West, and that Roman Catholic priests, receiving instructions from Rome, had made frightening progress in a plot to subject the nation to popish despotism. This fear of internal subversion was channeled into a number of powerful counter movements which attracted wide public support. The literature produced by these movements evoked images of a great American enemy that closely resembled traditional European stereotypes of conspiracy and subversion. In Europe, however, the idea of subversion implied a threat to the established...

Jenny Franchot
SOURCE: "The Inquisitional Enclosures of Poe and Melville," in Roads to Rome: The Antebellum Protestant Encounter with Catholicism, University of California Press, 1994, pp. 162-81.
[In this excerpt, Franchot examines Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno" and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" to demonstrate how elements of popular anti-Catholic tales of convent captivity became transformed in more literary tales of inquisitional and shipboard imprisonment.]
The closely imagined relationship between popery and captivity initially established in the Indian captivity narrative developed, in nineteenth-century convent exposés, a crucial thematics of artifice. As we have seen in the narratives of Rebecca Reed and Maria Monk, convent terrors strategically deployed sham fears of Rome to voice the pressures of an emergent middle-class Protestant domesticity. As productions of a deviant female and popular voice, convent narratives imagined perverse domesticities in which an errant female voice, ambiguously positioned between working-class melodrama and middle-class sentiment, gained entry to Protestant parlors by cleansing itself of the impure attraction to Rome. The artifice at the heart of convent narratives—of persecuting figures dispatched from Rome—firmly situated the Protestant language of Romanism in the precariously privatized domain of family romance as...

I Purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 production Premium (Student License) a month ago understanding that a free upgrade to Photoshop CS6 MAC. when available. How do I upgrade to CS6 now that it is released.
You guys are lucky getting a free upgrade.
I've been buying Adobe software faithfully since '91 and paid for my CS 5.5 in early March.
Not only don't I get the 'free' upgrade to CS6, I don't get access to my legal software via Creative Cloud as it's not available yet.
Adobe encourage new users who upgrade every other version and do little to stop illegal downloads of their software.
For us who remain loyal supporters and subscribers it's just one kick-in-the-teeth after another.
Believe me I had a disappointing exchange with them as well, they really know they have you after all I own about a thousand dollars worth of add on apps that work only as a companion to photoshop. In my case I bought the extended up grade in 2010 and it worked I reinstalled it a couple of times no issue, then I upgraded my machine to a 64 bit build because photoshop needed more memory than could be accessed on a 32 bit build. When I reinstalled photoshop it told me I had a invalid serial number. How it worked all that time and gave no clue I had been taken. I opened a case with adobe and it took them most of a month to decide that even though it appears to be a serial number from some other country they would not bend and give me a serial number that worked it would have cost them nothing, but it would have went a long way towards happiness in regards to Adobe. The only light is that I bought it again on march 29 so I get the free upgrade.
I am waiting for a free upgrade for my Photoshop CS6 for Mac.
My copy for Windows is bought in another country, so now I am getting nervous as to if I can get the upgrade.
Adobe Creative Suite Assurance Promotion FAQ does not mention purchases elsewhere.
And the upgrade-policy-product-announcement.html says to fill out forms depending on where you bought the upgrade (US in my case).
I was previously on CS2, so it might be my last upgrade, as I can't afford to pay for all upgrades as a hobbyist, so I was skipping some.

If you still have questions regarding if you qualify or not then you will want to contact our support team. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to discuss your particular circumstances for the upgrade.
firstname.lastname@example.com the process for submitting your request is located at Upgrade policy after product announcement - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-policy-produ ct-announcement.html.
I find it hard to beleive a company the size of Adobe does not have the process already setup to identify purchasers of the PS CS 5.5 who purchased it witin the free upgrade timeframe and generate the emails at this point. 7 days have gone by since the release and I understand Adobe says aproximately 10 days is the timeframe in which we should receive an email, but why is it taking this long to generate the email with the upgrade information? Seems to me that should be an almost instatenous process.
I received my email with serial number for the CS6 Suite and directions to download from My Orders in my account today, 5/14. I submitted my order for the free upgrade the day CS6 shipped.
Funny bit is, there's nothing listed in My Orders to download at all. So I just have the serial number and nothing to put it in.
Adobe is silly.
OK, update on above... Adobe says that while I received my serial number and a download link to my CS 6 free upgrade, the download link actually won't be active for 24-48 hours because, well, because they did it that way. :-)
I was told, though, that I could just download the trail CS6 Adobe Design and Web Premium Trial and plug the serial number into that. Because, well, that certainly makes more sense than actually linking the order for the free upgrade to the actual download. Because. (I think they are still very silly)
I didn't know Abobe was sending out upgrade emails. There's a form at adobe.com you can fill out with the information, at least if you bought the upgrade to CS5.5 from a retail channel, like I did. They said you could fill it out and send it in anytime after it started shipping, and the form was active to use as of Sunday, 5/6. That's when I filled it out with the info - adboe acct#, serial number of upgrade, and scanned receipt.
Well that makes more sense.
I purchased from Adobe directly and as I said, I cannot figure out why it takes them 10 days to notify people who purchased through them. Seems that people who purchased from a source outside Adobe were able to get their SN faster than people who purchased via Adobe. I must agree with you but would use a stronger term than silly.....
I was also told to download the trial and when the SN became availabe to enter it and all would be wonderful!
Ya, if I'd purchased the upgrade through Adobe I'd expect to get the serial number for the upgrade more quickly than folks going the retail route, esp. since through Adobe would be more expensive. My upgrade through bhphotovideo was $500, no tax, free ship, CS4 - CS5.5 (Design Premium).
But Adobe, like any other deity, works in mysterious ways. :-)
Well, I'm not sure that offering to sell you something they say they'll give you for free is the best marketing scheme. But I've known folks who would have pulled out their credit card and done it. :-)
Funny bit is that while I'm running CS6 now, through the trial download and entering the serial number they sent me for the free upgrade, they have yet to actually post the link to the regular download they said would be available in 24-48 hours, and it's well past that time. Not that I need it, but it does illustrate (grin) that Adobe has rather botched this whole free upgrade thing.
On the bright side, if you haven't started using CS6 as yet, you don't have to look at the amazingly ugly icons and splash screens they've put in.
I never implied it was funny. Just very silly. :-)
I expect they'll send you an email eventually. They finally set up the link for my free download upgrade four days after I downloaded the trial and used the serial number they'd sent earlier.
It's too bad, really. A long time ago, Adobe was very focused on customer support and service. I visited the place several times when I was working with Macromedia, and the support folks were very dedicated. Now, they truly don't seem to give a damn, but they don't give a damn in an opaque, professional manner. :-)
I tried installing my free upgrade & it did not install the programs needed (PS,FL,PR,Ai). Just the secondary programs that you can not use unless you have the primary programs.
I then followed the recommendation to just download the free trial of CS6 and enter the serial number they gave me.
I did and the same thing happened. The primary programs did not install. What is Up!
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
"Remind me next time to purchase from a 3rd party vendor..."
Oh, but it's not that simple. :-) I think they try to mix it up each time so users never really know the best route.
When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4, I bought direct from Adobe. They shipped the upgrade for Windows instead of Mac as ordered.
When I contacted them, they shipped out the correct version overnight, and told me to keep the Windows upgrade. Made the upgrade almost free.
I think this time they were forced to send the free upgrade to folks who bought from third party early, because the rules they gave for those upgrades said they would process the submission for upgrade within 7 days, which they did.
Thanks Jeff. I realize you are not able to tell us what is really going on just like the reps I chatted with do not know for sure either. We can only wait until the 25th and if not received by then go back to support. Seems like a viscious circle and, beleive me, I am one frustrated customer.
I did everything that was asked to do to get my free upgrade...now I got an email saying my case is close and I'll get a download link in 24-48hrs it's been over 30hrs or so and I know it's not 48 yet...I'm not freakening out I'm just wondering when it's ready to be download where would I find it?
This being the appointed day..... Shall we take bets.... Dare I look at my email today..... The clock is ticking...
No email as of 12 Noon EDT, so i contacted support via online chat and a wonderful person was able to give me the coupon code. Went to the Adobe Store.... Upgrade to PS CS 6 .... Entered code and credit card information and total was $0.00... proceeded and got the serial number with the receipt online..... No confirming email with SN however.. Glad I saved a copy of it. I did stay connected to the Rep until I got the purchase completed. Not taking any chances....
Adobe still needs to get their act together. I never should have had to call if this person could give me the code in a few minutes...
Okay, just received the email receipt and SN.... Good to go...
I'm in the same boat.
I knew this would happen so I sent in a support ticket and got a case number on the 22nd. I was told that I do qualify for the cs6 upgrade but I would have to wait. So I did and guess what – nothing came.
I spent the better part of an hour in chat and while they have agreed there is an issue and have "escalated" my problem to the "offline team", they are now away for Memorial Day and I won't hear back until at least Tuesday.
All I wanted was a link to my promo code or an explanation – I didn't get either and now the studio I've booked out sits vacant all weekend.
I cannot imagine letting a client twist in the wind without delivering their project or an explanation as to why an extension is needed – It's unfathomable. If Adobe cannot stick to their deadline they need to change it or explain why BEFORE the deadline passes. A simple email would suffice and any adult with any business experience would agree that this just is common sense.
What will Adobe do now? I predict I'll get a form letter apology ( that's not worth near the $300 I lost this weekend ) and finally a link to my promo code. No mentions of compensations or added value for my trouble.
Enjoy your extended weekend kids – status quo starts back on Tuesday...
I am in the same boat. They told me it would be minutes yesterday until I recieved the promised CS6 e-mail after many phone calls and apologies from support. Have had my case opened and closed several times for no reason. Still waiting on CS6. I don't know what to do. I have tried everything for weeks.

At the heart of this pump gun is a lightweight steel skeleton framework over-molded with a high-tech polymer, making the SuperNova Tactical super-light, super-strong, and almost completely impervious to any weather condition. But the SuperNova Tactical isn't just tough on the outside. Dual-action bars and a two-lug rotary bolt head that locks up steel to steel inside the barrel ensures that the SuperNova Tactical is rock solid to the core and capable of handling everything from light loads to 3-1/2" Magnums. A magazine cut-off on the forearm allows for safe carry with a full magazine and empty chamber. The top of the SuperNova's receiver is drilled and tapped to accommodate easy attachment of military-style optics.

Prop Cian Healy is expected to miss the start of the 2014 RBS 6 Nations after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle on Wednesday.
Brian O'Driscoll experienced some discomfort after rolling his right ankle which may limit his on-field involvement early in the week but the province's management are confident he will be fit for selection by Thursday.
Cian Healy was replaced at half-time after producing a typically lung-bursting display, while Jonathan Sexton, who received plenty of physical attention from the Llanelli side, was replaced by Ian Madigan late on as a precaution.
The Scarlets victory marked forward duo Tom Denton and Aaron Dundon's Heineken Cup debuts for Leinster, the latter being particularly impressive with ball in hand.
Otherwise, the management should be in a position to select from a strong panel for next Saturday's all-important round 6 game.
Sean O'Brien was a late withdrawal from the Scarlets game due to illness, but he is expected to resume full training this week as will Kevin McLaughlin (shoulder).
Ireland hooker Richardt Strauss will be available for selection, while Isa Nacewa successfully came through his comeback game after missing the last few weeks with a forearm injury.
In a further boost, following his recent quad injury, David Kearney successfully came through his comeback game in the Leinster 'A' team's British & Irish Cup win over Pontypridd earlier on Saturday afternoon in a game which also saw second row Mark Flanagan (back) return to action.
The province's 'A' side travel to Leeds Carnegie this coming Saturday in the final round of the pool stages.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2005
Comments, questions and tips
Love this! I added a bit of spinach just to get some extra veg in there, plus harissa paste as per the recommendation. I actually accidentally added cinnamon instead of cumin - eventually offsetting this with cumin - perils of a disorganised spice cabinet - and the cinnamon didn't do any harm. It's just a little tangier! So I kinda think this recipe might be foolproof. Yum!
I thought this was really delicious, the flavours went so well together. The only complaint my bf had was that there was no meat and that he at first thought there was too much cumin, but I thought the cumin was just right. :) I left out the broad beans, and put in some sweet potato. Will definitely make again.

HDRO Conference Room
7 January 2009
Time: 12.30- 2.00 p.m.
Co-development is based on the idea that migrants contribute to the development of both their host and origin countries, and that public authorities should aim to maximize the positive effects of migration by spurring the financial and human capital gains associated with international population movements. Against this background, French co-development policy, mainly oriented towards African countries, rests on four main thrusts: productive investment, brain circulation, immigrant return, and integration. Yet, a detailed analysis shows that there is a discrepancy between announced objectives and actual means. As a result, the impact of co-development on African countries is very limited since it is more designed according to France's interests rather than beneficiary countries' benefits. Above all, it appears that co-development, in its current conception, is not compatible with French immigration policy, since it is difficult to maximize the impact of migration while trying to restrict entries.
About the Speaker
David Khoudour-Castéras is an economist at the CEPII, a French think tank in international economics, and a lecturer at Sciences Po, Paris, from where he holds a Ph.D. in economics. He was previously a Fulbright scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, a professor of economics and the director of the research group on international migration at the Universidad Externado de Colombia, Bogota, and a consultant for the OECD, the ILO and the IOM. His research work is mainly focused on the relationship between international migration and development.

I am sick of BSOD while I'm gaming and also the "odd" times I get BSOD when I'm listening to music and doing my usual things but this time my computer froze but that's very rare my computer freezes but what I want to know is when I get a BSOD while gaming especially. 1. Is it possible to take a screen shot of it? 2. By you looking at the error, how would I know what's causing it I'm sorry for making these threads over and over but the others I post in I don't get any more replies from so I thought it was ok to make another. Anyone that gets BSOD that says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PDF_FILE_CORRUPT let me know if you have ever had this and how you corrected it and/or what caused it. I think it's PDF_FILE_CORRPUT or something like that. I especially get BSOD while gaming but I'm not sure if it's my graphic card I know my RAM has problems because I ran memtest and when it ran for 10 minutes it found an error and it found 2 in total so I'm getting them sent back and tested and hopefully get a replacement by getting new ones.
You need to let your RAM Memtest run for at least 100%, don't go by time on that test. But you're getting set to get those replaced which is good. So do you have different RAM in your PC and still getting BSOD's or same RAM and still getting BSOD's, if you have the same RAM in, then you will probably get BSOD's of variying types like what you've posted until you replace them.
By looking at the error if you have windows set to NOT restart when a BSOD apprears you can write down the error code and the title (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR....) and google it. You will be able to find out some information that way, that's how I found that the IRQL_NOT_LESS... and DRIVER_IRQL.. can both be memory related and to run Memtest to verify. Hope that helps!
proc isnt stable. ive got that before. lower your clock or mess with your ram timings to get it stable
Considering you're overclocking, I'd set everything back to stock, or test the overclock with Orthos for at least an hour, otherwise, leave it running for a whole 24 hours for complete stability test. It's not possible to take a screenshot of a BSOD, AFAIK, but noting down the problem is easy enough. DRIVER_IRQL[...] points to graphics problems. Sometimes it elaborates more, meaning you can diagnose whether it's just the graphics driver getting stuck in an infinite loop, or whether the card is getting errors. Never encountered PDF[...] though.
Wow, I took too long to type, so I didn't see the other suggestions. But for one thing, I just rememnber that there was a thread about 8800 BSODs and a fix. IIRC thread by d44ve, I'll have a look.
I have the same Corsair PC2-6400 RAM in (2GB) and I requested an RMA today so I'm waiting for a reply so I can return them and get them replaced, hopefully I shouldn't get charged if they test them their end they should get errors too and if so I'll get a replacement and they should test them on their PC and if they work I'll get those so I'm hoping so. I'm sick of this computer sometimes. Actually. I got a BSOD a minute ago. DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and it says at the bottom something like processr.sys.
Found the thread: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=31266 I don't have an 8800, so I can't say whether this works, never tried it, don't know if you're having the same problem, but it's worth a read. EDIT: If it says processor.sys, it's a different problem, with... the processor! Or I'd guess at least. Probably the ACPI driver that's the problem. I don't know about a fix for this.
@ O.P. I just went through a bout with IRQ...... the important part is the STOP:0x0000.... If you google the stop numbers it usually leads you to( in a round about way) the problem. Just so you know everytime I got said IRQ..... It was my RAM!
Yep that's right! D44Ve had a tweaking and fixes for 8800's up somewhere. I read through it, good article, you may have some more stuff yet to do to your PC J-Man but the work will be worth it in the end if you stay persistent! Ripper will getcha that link and you'll have more stuff to do, but it may help you for the time being. But it is a good idea to set and keep everything stock, the more you push your RAM the more chances of BSOD's when it's getting errors in memtest. On the orthos deal, if your proc can't pass an hour, then you're either choking it for voltage, pushing too hard, or have permanently damaged it and it is going faulty, but I wouldn't stress about your CPU too much yet. CPU's are pretty hardy when properly cooled and not overvolted at least in my experience. I still have an old P4 Williamette (first P4) that runs like a champ, granted wouldn't OC for much, and ran pretty warm, it still runs good and it's a good 5-6 years old and very, very well used! But like I said before, if you're still running that memory that you need to RMA, you will most likely get BSOD's even if they point to something else, there's still a large chance your memory is the culprit due to the fact that your RAM is a main component for anything that does information transfers, which is just about everything save the fans. But keep your head up man, you'll be back up to par soon enough!
You can do your best to fight and correct the errors causing the BSOD's but if it turns out your memory is culprit you may be spinning circles right now. But you should at least look into them, I hope all your errors are solved with your memory RMA so you can be back up and running! RMA does suck, but at the same time it's nice to have it for when something does fail. All we can do is hope that once you get the memory in and everything tweaked and setup up again, that you'll be good to go!
Well I am downloading the NVIDIA ForceWare 162.18 beta. Before I had the 158.22 installed but I doubt it's my graphic card driver.
When you get a BSOD the system is basically hanging. The OS itself is no longer in operation (Im pretty sure). So you cant printscreen, you have to take a photo with the camera. Usually if you google the error Microsoft will have something regarding it including some possible fixes.
I can use my mobile to take a clear picture since it's one of those expensive ones with 3.2 megapixel cameras .
If you really want a BSOD start up MSN mesenger or the like and run a game with WMP running in background .....or just orthos and WMP will usually do it for me if something is off.
Dude, if you get a BSOD from running MSN, WMP and a game, your PC is royally screwed. I'm able to run virus scanner, MSN, XFire, WMP, monitoring software, Setpoint, Steam, uTorrent, Daemon Tools, Opera and a game without a BSOD. So can about sx other people I know. I have friends that don't stop playing music on their PCs, even when in-game. Never had problems.
Not necessarily. If its driver or overclock related it could easily happen. If youve ruled out drivers, unstable overclock and overheating...THEN your royally screwed
If you read the whole post ...I said if something is off(like the RAM is tweaked too far) Under normal conditions NO, a pc should not BSOD with said apps running! As the O.P. states music and gaming seem to cause the issue, so the MSN was just extra overload for a BSOD to show itself.
True, heheh. I thought you were going from personal experience. You Me When I'm tired, and skim reading, I tend to miss obvious things, heh.
Yes, I updated BIOS and reseted them. I ran Prime95 yesterday and after the test it found an error. But this isn't the only BSoD I've got. I will take a picture of the BSoD about the most common BSoD I get while gaming and or while just listening to music and posting/doing my usual when I get it again.

With the renovations and repairs starting at Old Trafford and the arrival of Matt Busby as manager, the club began to excel. In the two years following the end of the war, United had finished second in the league on both occasions and in 1948 the clubreached the FA Cup Final
Under Busby, who had been appointed by Gibson despite having no previous managerial experience, the team went on to achieve greatness. With its last FA Cup victory having come in 1909, Busby's team faced a Blackpool side boasting the great talents of Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen. It was a day that Gibson had dreamed of.
The likes of Johnny Morris, Jack Rowley, Stan Person and Charlie Mitten, all of whom had grown up around the streets of Manchester, were ushering in a new era of success.
Tragically just hours before Gibson was set to make the trip down to Wembley he suffered a stroke.
Perhaps that helped motivate the players as they claimed a 4-2 win and the team took a detour on the way home to visit their stricken owner. It was there that they left the FA Cup, for Old Trafford had not been finished yet.
"It was a wonderful gesture for the players to come and see him," recalls Embling.
"I remember that they kept the FA Cup in the spare bedroom. There were a lot of spare bedrooms, but I'll never forget it.
"There was nowhere to keep it as Old Trafford was still being renovated and I'll never forget my aunt taking me into the bedroom and opening the wardrobe.
"I was only a young boy and I had my paws on the FA Cup. I know it wasn't the original but even still, it was amazing."
While United returned to playing at Old Trafford in August 1949, Gibson lived just another two years until he suffered another stroke, passing away in September 1951. Just months later, United won the league title for the first time in 40 years.
During his lifetime, it is estimated that Gibson invested around $3.3 million in today's value, while both his wife, Lillian and son, Alan, also went on to serve the club's board for years to come.
Gibson's family will attend Sunday's game against Liverpool, sitting in the same stadium which would have faded into the abyss had it not been for the dreams and determination of one man.
From the seeds sown by Gibson, United would go on to flourish with European Cups, FA Cups and league titles galore thanks to the work of Busby and later, Ferguson.
Busby, who survived the tragedy of the Munich air disaster, where seven United players perished and 21 killed, cheated death to help restore the club once again.
Under Busby, United would go on to great triumphs, triumphs of which Gibson would have been so proud.

The Physics of Cheating in Baseball
Corked bats and juiced balls have long plagued baseball, but do they really help a player's game? Four scientists found surprising answers
- By Christopher Solomon
- Smithsonian.com, June 24, 2011, Subscribe
(Page 2 of 2)
The result? "There was no evidence that there was any difference in the coefficient of restitution of the different balls," says Nathan. One caveat: the scientists can't say that balls made in other years aren't livelier.
How times change, though: these days we'd more likely attribute a rash of home-run slugging to performance-enhancing drugs, not the ball.
The Humidor: Not Just for Cigars Anymore
Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies in mile-high Denver, is a pitcher's nightmare and a batter's nirvana. The air is only 80 percent as dense as air at sea level, and because there's less air resistance, balls fly farther and pitches cannot curve as much. That means more hits and more home runs. For the first seven seasons at Coors Field, there were 3.2 home runs per game, compared with 1.93 home runs at the Rockies' away games.
To try to discourage the mile-high bonanza, in 2002 the Rockies started storing game balls in a humidor that kept the balls at a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 percent relative humidity instead of Denver's typical 30 percent humidity. The idea was that higher humidity reduces the bounciness of the ball and slightly increases its weight. Indeed, the average number of home runs at Coors Field dropped 25 percent from 2002 through 2010.
But is the humidor really to thank (or blame) for the decrease in home runs?
To test the theory, the authors placed several dozen balls in conditions ranging from 11 percent to 97 percent relative humidity for weeks, and temperatures from the 30s to nearly 100 degrees, then fired them against metal cylinders that approximate bats. Again measuring the coefficient of restitution, they found that the colder and moister a ball was, the less bounce it had. Translation: a ball hit on a hot dry day at an Arizona ballpark will go noticeably farther than the same ball hit on a frigid, foggy day at Boston's Fenway Park.
As for Denver's Coors Field, the researchers calculate that a humidity increase from 30 percent to 50 percent would take 14 feet off a 380-foot fly ball—enough to decrease the chances of a home run by 25 percent.
Not long ago, Nathan says, a reporter in Arizona contacted him and told him that the Arizona Diamondbacks were considering installing a humidor at their stadium, too. Nathan did the math—this time starting at the desert-air base-line of 20 percent relative humidity, and conditioning balls to 50 percent relative humidity. "That would be an even greater reduction in the number of home runs, more like 37 percent," he says.
The Diamondbacks later put those plans on hold. Everybody, it seems, likes at least a few homers between their peanuts and Cracker Jack.

Honestly this guy really expected to test a bat by not swinging it AND shooting at an unheard of speed from a staionary position? Bat speed hits homeruns, not weight, backspin lifts the ball up and farther, anyone who plays baseball knows for a fact that corking a bat does make that trampoline effect, as is with metal bats. Try again big boy

The term for which we are looking is "momentum" which equals mass X velocity. The analogy is the cruise liner or aircraft carrier hits the dock moving slowly and destroys the dock, while the speedboat hits the dock moving quite fast and only chips the paint on the dock. The formula applies to all moving objects under the mechanical physics laws.

Has anyone ever done a scientific study to determine the effectiveness (if any) of eye black?
Granted, it is more prevalent in football than baseball, but I nevertheless wonder how two inches of black goo or tape beneath an eyelid can somehow mitigate the effect of the sun on player's vision.

30 or 40 years ago a social scientist observed major league ball players in action. He/she found that there was a lot of peculiar mannerisms and seemingly superstitious behavior associated with hitting, but almost none with pitching and fielding. They pointed out that fielders rarely make errors and that pitchers almost always get the ball in or near the strike zone, but hitting is not like that. The chances of success are only 20% to 30% for all but the most talented batters Also, beyond a certain point, differences in stance and swing don't seem to correlate well with success.
The study's conclusion was that tasks with unpredictable, seemingly random outcomes tend to elicit rituals and eccentric behavior. Tasks people realistically expect to succeed at don't.

I read that pyhscologicaly players do better on their home games than away games. Did they look at the stats for that theory also?
Posted by Elizabeth McMhan on July 1,2011 | 09:02 AM
My understanding was that Coors Field installed the humidors because the baseballs would dry out in Denver's dry air, and those balls were essentially harder that baseballs stored at sea level and humid environments (anyone who lives there sees this same effect with wooden furniture).

"...cautions that a bat-swinging machine can never fully predict what might actually happen out on the diamond when real batters swing bats."
If that be true, one would think that against "real" pitchers as opposed to a canon to throw the baseballs would also make a difference wouldn't it? How about home runs hit off of slow change ups and curves as opposed to fast balls? Does the "canon" compensate for that too?

Some needs to contact the editors of the journal. All of these experiments were covered in a MythBuster episode some time ago.

I believe the formula you're looking for is: Kinetic Energy = .5mv^2
However no-one really cares what kinetic energy the ball or the bat have in baseball, just the resultant velocties, therefore the laws of inertia are more applicapable, ie m(1).v(1)=m(2).v(2), so they are correct.

E=mc^2 is energy for waves buddy...C is the CONSTANT for the speed of light and has nothing to do with this study
Posted by Rhett on June 29,2011 | 06:08 PM
Most players see a corked bat as a bigger bat that weighs the same as a smaller bat.
For example, you get a 34 inch bat that normally weighs around 28 ounces (in the MLs.) By corking it, you can either make that bat weigh 26 ounces and hit less effectively with it, OR you can take a 36 inch bat that normally weighs say 30 ounces, and make that 36 inch bat then weigh the same as the 34 inch bat.
2 inches of extra real estate (and usually a slightly thicker bat) for the same weight. That's the reason most of the corkers do it. (and it's probably only been a handful of players during each season.)
Whether it works or not has never stopped baseball players from believing in their superstitions. There are still pitchers who still refuse to step on the line from home to first or home to third, believing it will negatively effect their performance if they do...
Posted by Creston on June 29,2011 | 04:24 PM
@john finley:
Ugh... E=mc^2 only applies to the conversion between matter and energy, and 'c' is a constant (the speed of light). This is an important equation in nuclear physics, but not classical mechanics.
Kinematics is much more applicable to this than relativity is.
Posted by some guy on June 29,2011 | 02:28 PM
i think they're wrong: E = mc2
so reduced mass affects the energy minimally, but increased velocity increases energy by a square!

350 Climate Action Festival
The 350 challenge was launched in style in Aotearoa, New Zealand on 6 December, in Wellington and Auckland. The Wellington 350 Climate Action Festival was the focal point, attracting over 5000 people with live music, community action and food stalls. Over 40 volunteers helped make the day possible, and created a very positive and successful event. "Our three themes of connection, action and celebration were evident on the day - we had people connecting to each other and our environment, people taking and committing to take action, and we had one heck of a good time celebrating action and connection" said event co-organiser Aaron Packard.
In the lead up to the event, the group held a demonstration outside Parliament in an outline of 350 and were met by 12 Members of Parliament from the 4 main parties. "We addressed the new Minister for Climate Change Issues, the Honourable Dr Nick Smith and his Associate Minister, the Hon. Tim Groser, urging the new centre-right government to take effective and urgent action on climate change. We also requested that the government sponsor a youth delegation to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen next year. The Minister accepted our signed banner (which he is putting up in his office) and is keen to meet with us further about sending the delegation to Copenhagen. However, how this translates into genuine action on climate change remains to be seen".
"350 NZ has built a lot of momentum from the Festival, so we are now reflecting and dreaming of where to from here. We certainly plan on sending a youth delegation to Copenhagen, and I suspect we will have a busy time working with our new government, given that one of its coalition partners (the Act party) are hell bent on ensuring that NZ does nothing on climate change (and are climate change sceptics). As well as working with the government, we want to spark up action at the local level, to send a message loud and clear that the youth movement on climate change in Aotearoa NZ has arrived! Go 350!!" said Packard.
Other highlights of the Festival include:
• Super Shopper Sprint: Wellington's inaugural race between cars and bikes to the super market and back to Waitangi Park saw a clean sweep victory for the bicycles!;
• 350 Frocks on Bikes: An estimated 200 people donned their frocks and bicycled to parliament, returning to the park at the climax of the festival to share the last song from local band Olmecha Supreme;
• Sustainable Hangi (traditional cooked food): This event was organised by a newly formed group called 'Natives for Climate Justice' t who sourced locally produced, and, where possible, organic food for a delicious hangi. The food was then brought onsite, where it was sold in traditional konae (woven flax) rather than plastic or tinfoil.
