(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
You cook, and I'll do the dishes! Or better yet, let's take a cooking & wine tasting class together.
She is interested in the big picture and likes to examine large, ambiguous issues and ideas.
In relating to others, she can be well-adjusted, trusting, compassionate, intuitive and interested in people.
She is a die-hard romantic, and must have depth and meaning in her relationships.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I have more energy than most people
- I often find myself getting lost in my thoughts during the day
- When I see two people madly kissing in public, I'd rather not look
Her 8 interests
in her own words...
I am a fun-loving individual who loves to smile & laugh. I enjoy spending time with my family & friends (especially now that I've relocated back to the Phoenix area). Prior to moving back to Phoenix, I developed a love for kayaking in the San Francisco Bay Area. I took one cooking class there, but need to find someone to practice my cooking knife skills on. Looks like now that I am back in Phoenix, hiking will become my number one hobby again (once summer is over) along with watching my favorite sports teams: I am a Red Sox, New England Patriot , New York Giants and UCONN Husky fan! Yes, I am a proud CT Yankee! But cannot forget my Alma Mater, NAU - Go Jacks! I love taking road trips and would love to travel extensively. The last major trip I took was an 11 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera where I went zip lining in Puerto Vallarta and kayaking in the Alcapulco Bay. As far as who I am looking for, I am looking someone who is physically & emotionally available for a healthy, loving, committed relationship. I would like for him to be affectionate, honest and a fun loving man who is a great communicator and has an awesome sense of humor. He is extremely playful, smart, fun, romantic, considerate and sensuous man with whom I have great chemistry.

2000 Regal 1900 LSR
Regal 1900 LSR 00
Another great example of RPMs devotion to perfection. Your neighbors will flip out when you bring this one home. This model of Regal is the most automotive looking and designed boat on the market. It looks like its going 100MPH sitting still. In fact, a few years ago, we took one of these and actually got 85MPH out of it. It didnt take much but some horsepower, streamlining the drive and a little hull sharpening. And at that high top speed, the boat was a hands off driving boat, very steady, very solid. These are great boats for sure. The high output 4.3 V6 will push this over 50 mph. On a good day, youll see 55. If you want an awesome boat for hardly any money that drives, skis, and looks fantastic, dont pass this one up. In fact, I have considered taking this one and shoot for 100MPH. Wouldnt that be UNBELIEVABLE?? We have unbelievable financing, so good most lenders cant compete. Ive seen payments as low as $110.00. Call us or email us. Pat at rpmsports dot com or 830 865 3251. Comes with a one year in house warranty. It dont get no better than this..Seriously.

Review by Andy
Fantastic day driving, Fantastic cars, Fantastic experience. All very well organised, & great members of staff at the event eager to make it a truly great experience .
24 April 2017
Drive one muscle car, feel like a racer. Drive three muscle cars, and feel like a hero. Add in a high speed passenger ride on this Triple American Muscle Car Blast plus High Speed Passenger Ride and you'll get the full muscle car experience.
If you've watched a car film in the past few years you'll probably recognise the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, most famously seen in yellow with a beefy go-faster stripe down the middle. It's the fastest Camaro ever built, with over 600 BHP and track-tuned suspension and brakes to give you the best drive possible. Fans of speed should also keep an eye (or ear) out for the 2016 Mustang GT in full police car livery, with a 5-litre V8 roaring under the 'hood'. The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R hails from the silver screen too, and with twin turbos and four-wheel drive you can imagine being in car chases of your own, though you'll have to imagine your own thumping soundtrack.
Heading back in time to the classic muscle cars, you might like to drive a 1969 Camaro SS, seen in loads of films over the years, or a 1965 Ford Mustang: probably the most iconic American muscle car of all time. Both have massive V8 engines and can provide drives you'll never forget.
Car Chase Heroes:
2014 Camaro ZL1 6.2 litre supercharged
1968 Camaro SS 7.4 litre V8
1965 Ford Mustang GT350 5.0 litre V8
2012 R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R 3.8 litre Twin Turbo
1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 7.4 litre V8
2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 litre V8
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 6.2 litre supercharged
R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R 2.6 litre Twin Turbo RB26
Ford Mustang GT 300 4.6 litre V8
Pontiac Trans AM (only available at Prestwold)
GMC Vandura (only available at Prestwold)
On arrival at your chosen venue for your pre-booked experience you'll sign in before taking part in a short introductory briefing on driving techniques and safety.
After that, it's on to the main event – three exhilarating miles' driving in the first of your chosen muscle cars, before getting behind the wheel of your second and third car. Whichever amazing vehicles you choose, it's sure to be the drive of your life, and with a high-speed passenger ride to cap off your experience you'll never have more muscle car thrills in one day.

Fantastic day driving, Fantastic cars, Fantastic experience. All very well organised, & great members of staff at the event eager to make it a truly great experience .
Great day and really nice experience.
Had a great time at Blyton Park, well organised and great instructors. The range of cars available was excellent
Fantastic!! Such a great day driving the cars! Loved every second, will do this again!!!
A good selection of cars was available more than on the booking form. A smooth organised event.
What a fantastic experience. The cars, instructors and whole experience was first class. I felt like I was 16 yrs old again with a stupid smile on my face that lasted all day. Can't wait to do it again.
Absolutely incredible experience!
I had 3 cars booked to drive and a fast lap with a race driver - the track was too short and 3 laps is just not enough per car as you are out with other drivers of all ages and experience some don't even drive as they are young children - so u spend a lot of time just following them on such a small track which isn't what I would have chosen i wanted to drive fast and experience what the cars could do on most you dont get out of 3rd gear.
Great opportunity to drive some cars I wouldn't normally; great track, great weather which helped. Could've been slightly better organised at times (i.e. we booked in for particular time slots but that didn't seem to mean anything) - but that didn't overshadow the day totally. Thanks to all concerned!
Thank you for providing such a good fun day. The cars were mouth-watering and the accompanying instructors were very pleasant, putting one at ease straight away. My only reservation was the fact that the insurance against driver damage/accident, costing £25, was not included within the price. Yes, it was optional but still, it would have been good for it to have been included as part of the experience's voucher cost.
Fantastic day. I loved it. Driving a corvette, camaro ZL1 and a GT mustang. All instructors were excellent and I would definitely do it again
Best track day around without doubt. Proper cars, proper instructors and properly coordinated
Great time had, cars were amazing,trainers made you feel at home magic experience.
I went to the Pershore event - it was well organised and all staff were fantastic, especially the instructors. The cars I drove were in mint condition, the only reason for 4 stars is that the track was actually a coned off section of an airfield, which was actually quite short. The whole experience took an hour to complete, including waiting time between cars. Also, I was disappointed that Car Chase Heroes tried charging £2 for a lanyard when we'd just bought their premium photo/video package.
Amazing day, amazing cars and excellent instructers
A nice sunny day at Blyton Park. Friendly and helpful staff. The cars, what can I say! I chose three cars, the Nissan GTR, 1965 Mustang race car and the ZL1 (Bumblebee). All three were fantastic cars to drive. I will certainly be doing it again. The Mrs wasn't smiling when I mentioned a track day cars. I'd better get saving. It was an experience that I will never forget. It's only been two days, but I can't stop smiling. Loved it. I can't wait for the next one.
This was a present for my 18th birthday. I absolutely loved every second. Really supportive and helpful people. Amazing cars. Would love to do it again. Great memory that will stay with me forever.
Thank you,
As my self I have really great time. However my family got tired waiting for 4 hours. I think everyone would enjoy more in 2 hours or so.
What an amazing day from walking into the signining area,then going through the types of cars and safety talk. I then chose to have the chance to be driven around the course to get the driving lines. Then to driving my choice of cars 1st the Camero ZL1 brilliant 2nd the Mustang what an amazing car to drive 3rd Corvette stingray a brute of a car I 5ft 6ins so needed boosters still a little short in the leg but what a drive. What a Brilliant experience would recommend this package to any body
Even though the weather was appalling I had a really good driving experience and the assistants were so helpful I couldn't fault the staff at all .
What an excellent experience!! The cars we drove (Bumblebee, GT40 and GT500) were amazing, raw power and very different to drive. I did it with my son who had just turned 18 and he loved it too. The track was good (Tockwith) - not just straight up and down and gave different cornering experiences. The high speed lap with the instructor was exactly as described and is a must.
As usual it leaves you wanting more.
The staff were very good, I really enjoyed my day in all 3 cars and the high speed lap
Would recommend it
And will book again
Great day! Highly recommend
Initially disappointed with the availability as upon booking there were limited dates. However the experience itself was well organised, fantastic cars & a great day was had. Would have been 5 stars had the booking been easier.
Great experience, very friendly and helpful staff. A really enjoyable day.many thanks everyone.👍👍
It has always been a dream ever since I was 7 years old to drive a muscle car. 14 years later it happened it was a fantastic day and one to remember at that. The staff were very friendly and knew what they were talking about. Would most certainly recommend to anyone.
We arrived in plenty of time and I then had to wait over an hour to get in a car whilst watching people in the same briefing drive two or three times, in the meantime it started to rain, which obviously isn't anyone's fault, but it did mean I missed the opportunity to drive on a dry track, and consequently got stuck behind several people who were taking it easy. On the positive side the cars were very impressive even though I missed out on driving the GT40 as it had broken
Fantastic, I will do it again and I want a muscle car.
Had a great day when I finely got to drive the vehicle the only bad part was there was no where to tell ( Direction ) to sign in so ended up standing around tell we manage to get hold off someone but all that let down at the beginning it turn out to be a brill experience
Absolutely great day out. Such a brilliant experience. Would recommend this to anyone interested in classic cars.

Departments unwilling to accept Cabinet Office authority to centralise purchasing, suggest MPs
Centralised purchasing body still needs to develop full business case, according to committee
The creation of the Crown Commercial Service was poorly executed and slow take up of centralised purchasing by departments means it only manages one-fifth of the spending it was expected to, a review by MPs has found.
Examining the development of CCS since it was formed in 2014, the Public Accounts Committee said that it had failed to gain the confidence of departments, which seemed unwilling to respect the authority of the Cabinet Office.
Crown Commercial Service taking a slow and steady approach to meet its savings targets, MPs told
Crown Commercial Service looks to build clout with external hires
Malcolm Harrison named new chief executive of the Crown Commercial Service
CCS is intended to improve government's management of commercial contracts through joint purchasing of common goods and services for departments, and creating framework agreements for use across the rest of the public sector. It was hoped that this could generate savings of up to 10% on common goods and services.
However, today's report highlighted that the plan to transfer procurement from departments to the CCS had to be halted on two occasions, which means that it controls only £2.5bn of the expected £13.4bn of Whitehall spending, across just seven of the 17 planned departments. In addition, spending by the wider public sector through framework agreements was also below target, with only £6bn spent against a target of £7.5bn in 2015-16.
Committee chair Meg Hillier said this "dismal showing calls into question exactly how willing government departments are to accept the authority of the Cabinet Office in this area".
She asked: "Is the case being made for CCS underwhelming, or is the message just not getting through? Is discipline across government too weak?
"There were clearly fundamental problems at the launch of CCS but even now it is unclear exactly how progress will be made during this Parliament and beyond."
MPs highlighted that CCS did not have detailed plans from the start on how it would engage with departments, while it has still to develop a full business case.
The executive agency's current performance remains unsatisfactory, the report added, but all departments should transfer appropriate spending to CCS "as soon as practicable" in order to unlock substantial savings. Both CCS and the Cabinet Office should respond to the committee by October setting out plans to centralise spending on common goods and services in full by 2020.
One of the CCS's framework agreements had expired, meaning its use would contravene public procurement law and expose the government and any organisation using it legal challenge, the PAC revealed. Three other frameworks, including those covering consultancy services and temporary staff are set to expire this year, and these must be replaced.
MPs added that this was "the latest failure we have looked at of the Cabinet Office attempting to centralise services". The creation of CCS had not learned from previous aborted schemes to centralise services, and CO must finally learn the lessons and ensure departmental buy-in for what it is trying to do, they concluded.
The Cabinet Office told the committee that CCS had helped departments save £1.9bn by 2014/15 against a 2009/10 baseline, and a further £521m in 2015/16.
Responding to the report, a Crown Commercial Service spokeswoman said: "The Crown Commercial Service has reported savings of £2.4bn for the taxpayer since its inception in 2014. With an experienced senior leadership team now in place, we are confident in our ability to deliver even greater value for the taxpayer moving forwards through the centralised procurement of common goods and services."

Ind. Decisions - 7th Circuit issues one Indiana opinion today
In U.S. v. Corona-Gonzalez (SD Ind., J. Hamilton), a 14 page opinion, Judge Ripple writes:
Juan Corona-Gonzalez seeks review of a sentence imposed by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. A jury found Mr. Corona-Gonzalez guilty of possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of, 500 grams or more of a mixture containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. The district court sentenced him to 240 months' imprisonment on each of Counts I and II, to run concurrently, and 60 months' imprisonment on Count III, to be served consecutively, for a total of 300 months' imprisonment. The court also imposed a term of five years of supervised release. Because the district court misapprehended a significant aspect of Mr. Corona- Gonzalez's record at the time it imposed the sentence, we must reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case to permit the district court to determine whether, without that misapprehension, it would have imposed a different sentence.

Brenden Bickerstaff-Clark, a father from Youngstown, Ohio, shared a video on Monday that's been viewed more than 24 million times on Facebook. In the footage, Mr Bickerstaff-Clark tells his 8-year-old son, Cameron, that his mother recently died of a heroin overdose.
Mr Bickerstaff-Clark is a recovering addict and wanted to show others the damaging impact drugs can have on families.
"Please get help so our children don't have to suffer," he wrote in the Facebook caption. "This wasn't staged. This was real. I had someone record this so addicts with children can see the seriousness of our epidemic. I am a recovering addict myself with 94 days clean today. Please share and maybe help save a child's parents life."
According to statistics from the Ohio Department of Health, heroin has accounted for 1,424 unintentional overdoses in the Buckeye State, adding to the record-high 3,050 overdoses last year.

Tonya Tutoki, a Niles resident, addressed criticism of the video in the video's comment section.
"I know you might be tired of people posting to your wall, but I just want to point out how many people saw the video and added their input," she wrote on Facebook.
"You and your son are in many people's prayers and you truly got the message out that it has an effect on others, tremendously. Many people are [close-minded] and they say it's because they have no sympathy because that person chose to do it. Well, an addict is someone's child, mother, significant other, and so on. I hope that those viewers, shares, comments, likes, and reactions were lives being touched. You and your son are definitely in my prayers!"
Dr Joseph Ohr, a forensic pathologist in Mahoning County, recently told The Vindicator, a newspaper in Youngstown, that 22 deaths in the area have been linked to heroin since August.

No, Really, There's a Shrimp Sale at The Crab Crib…A Year-Round Sale.
Like many others, Jennifer & I have been sucked in to the podcast, Serial. In Episode 5, host Sarah Koenig's producer Dana Chivvis mentioned 'There's a Shrimp Sale at the Crab Crib', which quickly turned into a meme, spawning t-shirts and Reddit threads.
A little internet searching turned up that there really is a Crab Crib, and there really is a Shrimp Sale…except that it's year-round. So is it really a sale if it's year-round?
Anyway, The Crab Crib is only about a 15 minute drive from us, so we decided to hop in the car and head there for lunch.
Upon walking in, we quickly realized this is a takeout-only operation, as there is no seating area. For quicker pick-up, you can call in your order ahead of time. We grabbed a menu and quickly settled on 2 Shrimp Cheesesteaks, Hush Puppies and Cole Slaw. Our total was $27, quite reasonable for the amount of food we received. After we placed our order, we checked out the many fresh seafood items for sale while waiting for our food. Everything looked fresh and reasonably priced, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially when explaining the Crab Fluff on the menu.
We were impressed at how large the cheesesteaks were, and how much shrimp was inside. Sometimes, you get skimped on the amount of seafood you get…but not at The Crab Crib. The cheesesteak was huge, cheesy and delicious.
Thanks to Sarah Koenig and Serial for introducing us to The Crab Crib – we'll definitely be back for that Shrimp Sale. 😉

Checkmate on the Perimeter: $300M+ Concourse deal done
The landmark "King" and "Queen" office buildings that have towered over Georgia 400 and the Perimeter for more than 20 years have a new owner.
Regent Partners LLC on Oct. 1 finalized the purchase of the 2.1 million-square-foot Concourse Corporate Center for just north of $300 million. It partnered with GEM Realty Capital Inc., a private equity firm based in Chicago.
The transaction involved some of the biggest names in Atlanta real estate. Owner TIAA-CREF put the development on the market earlier this year. CBRE Inc. brokered the sale.
Regent and GEM will now consider how to continue urbanizing the project at Interstate 285 and Hammond Drive. The most likely development to start in the next year or two would include mid-rise apartment units and new retail.
Concourse Corporate Center is one of the most recognized mixed-use projects in metro Atlanta because of its towers that resemble two giant chess pieces rising over the Georgia 400/I-285 interchange.
Concourse is also significant in the history of Atlanta regional development patterns for pioneering office markets that later blossomed farther north on Georgia 400. More than 20 years ago, it formed the first wave of suburban mixed-use office projects that included Galleria, Northpark Town Center and Ravinia.
Concourse contains a hotel and a popular athletic club. Over the years it has become a magnet for other developers who have dotted the area with office towers. The King and Queen buildings are also visible to anyone shopping at Perimeter Mall or its surrounding retail centers.
Regent and GEM believe Concourse is the right play because it reflects the ongoing urbanization of the Perimeter cities Sandy Springs and Dunwoody, and its location should appeal to younger Atlantans who want to relocate from the outer suburbs to live and work closer to the city. Concourse's office towers are collectively 83 percent occupied, but the partnership believes it can attract new corporate tenants because of its access to MARTA, amenities, and upgrades to the Hammond Half-Diamond Interchange.
"We think from a demographic point of view tenants want mixed-use environments, and along the Perimeter this project stands out as being the best amenitized," said Regent Partners founder David Allman.
Regent is known in Atlanta for urban developments, including the 26-acre Tower Place mixed-use project in Buckhead during the 1990s.
The developer sees parallels between its plans to continue adding density and pedestrian-focused features at Concourse and its previous projects at Tower Place, including the 50-story 3344 Peachtree tower.
"When we bought it, Tower Place felt like a suburban project," Allman said. "And we've been urbanizing it for 20 years."
There won't be new skyscrapers anytime soon within Concourse Corporate Center, but there could be more residential units, more stores and an attempt to create a plaza-like entrance along Hammond Drive. That site could also contain a new apartment project fronting Hammond. Developers already have similar plans for mid-rise apartments along the corridor near Hammond's entrance to Concourse.
"There are national retailers trying to get into this marketplace," said Regent President Reid Freeman. "We have also been approached by a number of very qualified and very good residential players that have expressed their interest."
Regent and GEM are in good position to urbanize the project because of the existing connectivity, amenities and transportation infrastructure, said Concourse's original developer Blaine Kelley Jr.
"They'll have a running start," he said.
It was Kelley who originally assembled the land for Concourse, including about 50 existing homes.
Kelley is viewed as one of Atlanta's real estate pioneers for his work on Concourse.
"What we did back then was to take the typical office development, which was spread out, and compact it," Kelley said. "We introduced the high-rise office tower and parking deck clustered around covered walkways, interconnected with hotels, an athletic club and other amenities. It was a self-contained community."
Like other real estate partnerships of late, Regent and GEM have sought a high-profile Atlanta project they could buy well off the peak prices of several years ago. They found what they were looking for in Concourse. It would cost $300 a square foot to develop office towers like those within Concourse today. Regent and GEM paid about half that amount, according to real estate observers.

Twin Cities Mobile Market
Page Content
It's a Market on a Bus
Twin Cities Mobile Market is a grocery store on wheels that brings affordable, healthy food directly into under-resourced neighborhoods. We believe everyone deserves access to healthy food. However, many of our neighborhoods do not have grocery stores, and many residents struggle to afford fresh food prices.
We Have Expanded!
A little more than two years after we began operating, the Mobile Market bus has launched a second bus! We now serve 33 stops in Saint Paul and other under-resourced areas of the Twin Cities. As a result of this expansion, look for more opportunities to shop on the Mobile Market and more opportunities to volunteer and support this work.
Affordable. Convenient. Fresh.
Both Mobile Market buses offer a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products and staples like rice and dried beans. Thanks to our food supplier partners, we operate year round and offer as much local, in-season produce as possible. We bring healthy food options into neighborhoods five days a week in Saint Paul and other areas of the Twin Cities. We maintain a routine schedule so families can rely on Twin Cities Mobile Market for their weekly food shopping.
Check our map and schedule
to find the Twin Cities Mobile Market location nearest you.
More than Fruits and Veggies
We love fresh produce, but our goal is to offer everything needed to create healthy meals for a variety of cultural diets. Examples of what you'll find on our bus:
Fresh fruits and vegetables at grocery store quality—we do not stock "seconds"
Lean meats: chicken, fish, beef and pork
A full dairy section: milk, cheese and eggs
Staples like rice, dried beans, canned goods, flour, sugar and healthy cereal
Recipes and Nutrition Education
Offering healthy food options is just the start. To help communities be healthy, we partner with other groups to offer nutrition education, cooking demonstrations and recipes featuring the items we stock. Knowing the health benefits of fresh foods makes everything taste better.
Get on Board
Like the sound of what we're doing? Join our
mailing list
! Twin Cities Mobile Market is a community effort; everything we do is informed by our many partners and residents of the neighborhoods we serve. Our goal is to improve access to healthy foods from the ground up. We need community input to inform what we do and how we do it.
We are always looking for volunteers to help. Email
if you'd like to lend a hand.
Support Twin Cities Mobile Market
Twin Cities Mobile Market is a program of the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit human service organization. We rely on generous gifts from the community to make healthy foods available in under-resourced neighborhoods.

The reviewer has to be dragged away from it to write the review.And Xecutor is one such magnetic game.It's a shoot-'em up from Ace, a new label which is basically The Edge doing arcade games.Xecutor is also about the only thing that is going to give Zynaps any sort of competition.There is no plot worth discussing in the game. It's about firing fast and dodging faster, about precision control of your space fighter and instant reflexes. That's the basic requirements of any arcade game but, like Zynaps before it, Xecutor is also a blinding technical achievement. It looks great and plays even better.Comparisons with Zynaps are inevitable though unfair in some respects since Xecutor has plenty of features which are uniquely its own.It scrolls from top to bottom - like Lightforce - and features a variant on what is rapidly becoming this season's big trend - namely firepower bonuses. This is where your ship begins the game armed with only a rickety old laser which splutters fairly uselessly at the bad guys, but where collecting bonus points can win you more serious weaponry.In Xecutor you can graduate from intermittent laser beam to double speed to double barrel to torpedoes to spray-fire, 360' blasts and so on.You can get to be pretty mean.To begin with the aliens sweep moderately slowly across the screen - the problem is not so much avoiding them or the bullets they occasionally drop, but actually killing them all.It is only by wiping out a complete wave of aliens that you get a bonus symbol and this is the only way you have of surviving later waves Basically if you don't wipe out all the first wave of aliens you might as well just forget it...The bonus system works in an interesting way. If the bonus star comes up on screen you can either collect it - by flying over it - or shoot it.Collecting it gives you the current level of firepower - as indicated by an icon on the right-hand side of the screen - and sets the icon back to zero.On the other hand you can simply shoot the bonus star - this doesn't change your firepower but instead advances the weapon select icon. Thus in Xecutor you have to constantly decide whether to take the weapons on offer or to take a chance on getting something more dangerous the next time you clear a wave.One thing is certain, if you want to acquire meaningful points in this game you are going to need, at the very least, photon torpedoes because at the end of the level you get The Big Alien.The Big Alien which reappears in many guises throughout the game spits out bullets and needs to be hit dozens of times before it turns into a fighter and chases you around the screen. H you manage to blast it then, and only then, do you get to Stage 2. The destruction of the big alien is pretty spectacular. Bits of metal come spinning off at all directions as it disintegrates only to reform as a fighter Fabulous stuff.Graphically Xecutor is more than you could hope for. Large coloured sprites, smooth scrolling, inventive details, the lot. Whatever happened to attribute clash? Xecutor has never heard of it.If the quality of Spectrum software gets any higher people will start trading in their STs!Label: AceAuthor: CybadynePrice: £7.99Memory: 48K/128KJoystick: variousReviewer: Graham Taylor

iOS/Android: From the same team that brought you SoundHound, Hound is a music search app that lets you speak the name of a song or artist aloud to search for it in the SoundHound database. Once it's found, you can read more about it, listen to a preview, or watch the video.
Unlike the previously mentioned SoundHound, which uses a song's audio pattern to identify the track playing, Hound allows you to just speak the title or the artist to see songs that match your search. When the app finds the song you're looking for, you can listen to an audio preview of the track, read more about the song or the artist, or hop over to YouTube to watch the music video.

But she was being watched. As she walked across the bridge on the outskirts of Coldstream, Robert Black, a convicted sex offender with a lifelong history of paedophile perversion, moved in. He heaved her into the back of a Ford Transit van and inside, hidden from view by curtains, subjected her to a violent sexual attack. He then killed her.
When her body was found in a copse 15 days later, 264 miles away near a lay-by on the A518 at Locksley in Staffordshire, it was too decomposed for the cause of death to be established.
Nearly a year later, in July 1983, Black struck again. His victim was Caroline Hogg, 5, whom he abducted near her home in Portobello, Edinburgh. Twelve days later, her naked body was discovered 308 miles away in a ditch at a lay-by off the A444 near Twycross, Leicestershire.
The two murders, clearly linked, prompted a huge but fruitless police inquiry involving six forces in England and Scotland. Much time was spent searching for a red Triumph car, seen south of Coldstream when Susan Maxwell disappeared and again near to where her body was found.
The investigation had ground to a halt by the time Black struck again. On 26 March 1986, he snatched Sarah Harper, 10, who was on brief shopping round near to her home in Morley, near Leeds. After raping and beating her, Black dumped her, alive but probably unconscious, into the river Trent more than 80 miles away, where she was left swirling around a weir. Her body was found on 19 April.
There were obvious connections with the Maxwell- Hogg inquiries and all three girls had been stripped of their white socks and shoes, possibly as trophies. The largest serial child-killing inquiry in Britain was under way.
The investigation would span eight years, with 60,000 statements being taken and 185,000 people questioned. Thirty-eight police officers and 24 typists worked on 50 computer terminals linked to the Home Office Large Major Enquiry System (Holmes).
The FBI was called in to help build a psychological profile of the killer and one witness agreed to be hypnotised in an effort to identify important details.
Despite these efforts, however, the inquiry was dogged by missed chances.
Black's Ford Transit was never traced despite later confirmation that he had been in Coldstream when Susan Maxwell went missing, in Morley outside Sarah Harper's home, in Nottinghamshire where Sarah's body was found, and in Radford, Nottingham, where he attacked a girl.
Although the police were correct in believing a lorry driver - or someone with a reason to travel long distances - would turn out to be the killer, they appear not to have conducted sufficient checks. Had they drawn a limited 'circle' around each site and checked on drivers who were delivering or calling near by, they would have discovered that Black, a convicted sex offender, was always there - in his company's Transit van.
Police said later that it was an 'impractical task' to try to trace the Transit, one of 690,000 in the country. However, a check with companies close to two of the abduction sites would have produced the identity of Black as a regular delivery driver using a white Transit van.
When Teresa Thornhill was attacked in Radford, Nottinghamshire, in April 1988, Black was delivering to a firm 475 yards away and his van was filmed - but not identified - on a bank security camera. Details of this attack were not passed on to the police inquiry.
Black, despite his convictions in Scotland, was not in the police list of suspects with records for child sex offences because it was decided not to include minor crimes - which would have involved an additional 33,000 names.
At that time the police also had a highly likely suspect whom they referred to as Mr X and they prepared a 118- page criminal investigation report on him before dismissing him.
Like most serial killers, Black was eventually caught because he carried on offending, rather than as a result of diligent police work.
In July 1990, a six-year-old girl was on her way home when Black pulled up alongside her and dragged her inside his van. A neighbour who saw the incident and took the van's number, alerted the girl's family and the police.
In the van, Black taped the girl's mouth, placed a hood over her head, tied her hands and feet and forced her into a sleeping bag. He tied the neck of the bag tight - as had been done in the other three cases - then forced it behind his driving seat. He also indecently assaulted her.
Lothian and Borders police blocked all roads in and out of the force area. The van was spotted by the girl's father; when police stopped the vehicle he rescued the child who had only minutes to live.
By a stroke of luck, petrol receipt records for Black's company had not been destroyed and police were able to log precisely where Black bought petrol.
The police were also able to check Black's company food bills, cash-machine withdrawals and credit card records. The checks led directly to his conviction. There was practically no hard evidence against him, no forensic evidence and no confession.

Ethics Theory and Business Practice Discourse Ethics – Part Three Discourse and the Public Sphere: the Role of Media and Marketing Corporations
aims to explain why the public sphere is important to discourse to consider the internet's potential to contribute to a vigorous public sphere to explore one way in which corporate colonization might inhibit that potential
discourse cannot take place in a vacuum for productive discourse to take place: information needs to be made available people need to be exposed to diverse perspectives dialectical processes need to be made available that accustom people to critical engagement with a range of ideas
the importance of the public sphere: a collection of physical, literary, media (press, radio, and TV), and virtual spaces where people can access information, exchange ideas, and debate matters of general interest (Habermas, 1984/1981, 1987/1981)
corporations and the public sphere the traditional role of newspaper corporations, commercial radio stations, and TV companies the contemporary significance of the internet offering the potential for democratization and reinvigoration of the public sphere but also offering the potential for its colonization
colonization something entering territory that it ought not to enter and taking control of processes it ought not to control so that instead of those processes being structured in a manner that allows them to fulfil their fundamental purpose, they become structured in ways that inhibit the achievement of that purpose
corporate colonization of the public sphere the public sphere gets colonized by corporate interests, which deflect it from its fundamental purpose of providing information and sharing ideas considerations of power and money thus enter into discursive forums so that, instead of those forums enabling people to achieve shared understanding, they become dominated by financial and political considerations discourse becomes focused on the generation of wealth and the capture of power for the benefit of particular people (Habermas, 1984/1981, 1987/1981)
undermining the internet's democratizing potential corporate emphasis on harvesting personal data how the data we provide shapes what we see special news bulletins, tailored just for you personalization by social-networking sites personalization of internet-based news (Pariser, 2011) www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEWmNwRHY2U
key points a vibrant and diverse public sphere is vital to the practical implementation of discourse ethics media corporations play a key role in providing that public sphere the internet offers considerable potential for greater democratization and reinvigoration of the public sphere that potential may be lost if corporations focus primarily on opportunities presented by the internet for the accumulation of power and wealth
