I just don't see any need to dredge through all the interpersonal details and drama here, or any need to judge on whether people have it together to back up their data or not. It also has nothing to do with "social capital".

Why keep someone's data from them when it is trivial to hand it over to them, whether by uploading it or by sticking it on a usb drive. Jeez.Ā I have ones to spare and have offered them multiple times to daravinne.

Daravinne, do you have the data or did you erase it? That is basically the only question.Ā I will come to you and transfer the data.ĀĀ That way you will not have to deal with any sort of drama, minimal annoyance, and Tony will have his stuff back. I know Danny is also perfectly willing to do this.

 Recently I was arrested after 6 months of living in the darkroom of an unused science lab on the UCSF Parnassus campus. The police attempted to charge me with burglary (which the prosecuting attorney dropped) but only the misdemeanor charges of trespassing & illegal lodging stuck.* They took a Macbook Pro computer that had been loaned to me by Daravinne aka Christina Olson who is the self-styled producer of 5 Minutes of Fame, insinuating that I must have stolen it. I did not steal it; Christina Olson gave it to me as "a long-term loan" last year when we were both working on the Noisebridge zine project I inaugurated, ZiP. At the time the police confiscated the Macbook, it contained all of the ZiP layouts & associated files, plus all the InDesign, Photoshop & Illustrator work I'd done over the last several years, plus a vast spreadsheet-slash-database in progress containing all the info on properties & alternative housing in SF I'd been collecting obsessively over the course of the preceding year & a half, my journals/diaries for the past 10 years, all of my writing creative journalistic & otherwiseŚthe police also took my thumb drive, which was my only (partial) backup of all this material. The police told me only Christina Olson could reclaim the computer, since it was registered to her name. Christina Olson & I agreed that Christina Olson would take back her Macbook (so it could continue to sit unused in her overstuffed apartment while she sits in front of her other, newer, fancier computer) once it was retrieved from the police. I asked Christina Olson to let me get my files off her Macbook before she took it back. She agreed. (I believe I have the chat logs of this stored on the computer I'm currently borrowing in lieu of not having a computer at all.) I recently found out that she went behind my back & reclaimed the computer from the police like a month ago. She casually revealed this via IM, following this revelation up with a number of lovely statements including

You are a pain in the ass to deal with

when ya stab me in the back, use my vulnerability due to police/court custody to steal my fuckin files, you're damn right, I'm a motherfuckin SCORPION & you haven't seen the half of it!

and

You are a failure as a human beingĀ

BWAHAhaha yes Your Honor!

The C-word was made for people like this. I don't like Christina Olson. I don't wanna be her friend or talk to her. I just want my shit back. She told me it totals 16GB & she's not willing to let me transfer it on her thumb drive. I recently sold a painting so have enough $ to buy a thumb drive that will hold 16GB. I don't think she's gonna communicate with me, though, so I'm posting this in hopes The Community may help me put some pressure on her to get my shit back. The computer is hersŚno problemŚthe personal files & info on it are mine. I know she hangs out in the chat rooms quite a bit, if that helps. Daravinne = Christina Olson.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Signing off for the day NOW & I'll be back again tomorrow (but less wordy, I promise)

Sports Physical Therapy
Integrated Athlete Performance Services at TEST Sports Academy
Effective and efficient recovery takes a TEAM of individuals all working in unison towards a common goal, your success. Twin Boro's sports physical therapists create an integrated treatment plan, consulting with athletic trainers, exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning coaches, speed & agility coaches, world class positional coaches, sports medicine doctors, nutritionists, the player's team staff, and most importantly the athlete, to maximize results. Daily communication and integrated services provided under the same roof result in a dynamic program that allows athletes to continue training in spite of injury. Twin Boro has been in the game of providing sports physical therapy for 32 years and their sports therapists have the knowledge, experience, and resources to get you back in the game.
Twin Boro Physical Therapy links rehabilitation and performance for the TEST athlete by approaching injury from the regional interdependence theory. That is, an injury in one area of the body may actually be the result of dysfunction in an adjacent or nearby region. As a result, treatment focuses on management of the injured body part as well as the development of surrounding areas, resulting in a stronger, faster, and more powerful athlete. The Performance TEAM then looks at movement as a whole, identifying and correcting dysfunction, using the same screening process as the NFL Combine.
Every athlete is different, therefore; similar injuries actually require unique treatment. Although all athletes are given the same level of dedication, attention, and expertise from the TEAM of Twin Boro's Sport Physical therapists and TEST Sports Academies Performance trainers, they receive unique programs, personalized to address each athlete's specific weaknesses and needs. It is this attention to detail and to the individual athlete that results in success.
For more information, contact Jason Eliowitz of Twin Boro Physical Therapy at (732) 552-0275.

Someday you might come home or go to open up your business and find that your key won't turn at all, not even a little. There are several reasons this might occur.
At right, illustrations show the operation of a standard pin tumbler lock. When you insert your key, the key raises the pins to the point where the division between the top pins and the bottom pins aligns with the division between the plug and the bible of the cylinder, allowing the plug to turn.
Sometimes dust and dirt collect inside the lock cylinder. When that happens the dirt can cause the pins to stick in a partially raised position, preventing the plug from turning. In most cases a spritz of dry lubricant will be sufficient to free up the plug and allow you to open your door. Simply spray the lubricant into the keyway and insert the key a few times to work the lubricant into the mechanism. If this method does not work you may need to use a more solvent-based lubricant like WD-40 to loosen the dirt. Locks exposed to the elements sometimes collect a lot of dirt.
If your key will only go in part way, this could still be the same problem, or there may be an obstruction in the keyway. Illumination of the keyway reveals that the bottom pins hang down into the keyway. In the event that lubricating the lock is ineffective, slide a thin piece of wire into the lock along the bottom of the keyway, avoiding the pins, and feel for an obstruction. If the piece of wire will not go in as far as the length of the blade of your key, there may be an obstruction present. At this point you might want to call a locksmith, however, you can gently work your way past the pins and try to go over the obstruction in order to try to coax it out. This process can take a lot of patience and skill, and it is possible to make the problem worse if you are heavy handed with the pins.Should lubrication fail to free up your lock and you can find no obstruction, your lock may have a more serious malfunction, such as a pin chamber worn enough to allow a pin to get stuck at an angle, or a corroded pin that is frozen in place and will not budge no matter what. In these cases you need a professional to gain entry for you and repair your lock. If you succeed in freeing up your lock but find that the problem is reoccurring with increasing frequency, it's probably time for you to replace your cylinder.

Story highlights
- Maksym Shynkarenko, 33, is charged with founding and operating a child porn website
- Federal prosecutors believe Shynkarenko used servers all over the world
- He was arrested in 2009 in Thailand and had been fighting extradition to the United States
- He pleads not guilty to all charges in a 32-count indictment
After following a cyber trail stemming from an ongoing investigation into possession of child pornography, federal officials in New Jersey said Thursday they now have custody of a Ukrainian man they believe is behind one of the largest international child porn distribution rings.
The probe, which has led to the conviction of more than 560 Americans in 47 states, also brought about the arrest of Maksym Shynkarenko, 33, who is charged with founding and operating a website touting thousands of hardcore sexually explicit images and videos of boys and girls ranging from infants to teenagers, according to Rebekah Carmichael of the U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey.
Shynkarenko has been slapped with numerous child exploitation charges, including conspiracy, transportation and shipment of child porn, advertising child porn, money laundering, and engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, according to a 32-count indictment.
He pleaded not guilty to all charges Wednesday in the district court of New Jersey, according to court documents.
"This case itself is the one of the largest we have ever seen. In terms of significance it's enormous," said Andrew McLees, special agent in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations unit in Newark. "This case is representative of the epidemic of this problem throughout the country and the globe."
He said the actions Shynkarenko is accused of "created a market for exploitation, a market that will lead to more children being victimized."
Carmichael told CNN that Shynkarenko allegedly operated out of Ukraine but used servers all over the world, including in the United States, to house and disseminate the lewd images and videos.
Shynkarenko, who is believed to have co-conspirators, according to Carmichael, was first arrested in January of 2009 in Thailand and had been fighting extradition to the United States until he was brought to Newark this past weekend.
Special agents first uncovered the child pornography hub in 2005 through e-mails recovered from a New Jersey individual, one of the hundreds of people convicted of child-porn-related charges.
According to a news release from the U.S. attorney's office, an undercover immigrations agent who subscribed to the site, dubbed "Illegal.CP," received a disclaimer that warned of the websites' illegality, and encouraged users to claim their credit card information was stolen if questioned by police.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman called bringing in Shynkarenko a milestone in an important fight against sexual predators.
"Distributors and consumers of child pornography create a market for sexual assaults on children, where the victimization of those children is refreshed with every download," Fishman said in the news release.
If convicted, Shynkarenko could be sentenced to life in prison.

08 Jul 06 | Chong an, China
14 Jul 06 | Jinkeng, China
Following another grueling 8 hour bus journey on the worst roads we've been on, we arrived in the small 'Dong' village of Zhoazing. It's clear we've arrived just before it is due to get a makeover, by the Chinese tourist board. Zhoazing seems to be gearing up to be the next holiday hotspot, with gift shops and hotels springing up, but there isn't anyone in them yet. I'm sure there are plans to rebuild and repaint it like Lijiang in Yunnan but we've caught it just before the paint job, and it's like stepping back in time. It really is a beautiful place, and the fact that the drum towers and 'rain and wind' bridges (see photos) haven't been touched up with fresh paint means it still retains its old world charm. Walking around you can really feel China's long history. This place hasn't changed for thousands of years. It's almost medieval. The architecture and farming methods are the same as they've been for generations. The whole village is a hive of activity with women in conical hats coming in from the fields carrying baskets of vegetables, and boys herding pigs over bridges and down the central street. The men primarily seem to sit on the bridges and smoke. Animals are everywhere, and one morning we were startled when a bag we'd unwittingly sat next to took on a life of its own. It was stuffed full of roosters. The central river is packed with people washing, preparing food and children playing. It's unusual to see so many kids running and playing in the street. The one child policy doesn't seem to be enforced here like it is in the cities. We're spending our afternoons sat on the bridges with the blokes watching the hustle and bustle of daily life. Being in Zhoazing makes you realise quite how well organised the Chinese are. Like everywhere else in China, every bit of land is utilised but here it is seems more concentrated. Every inch of land is neatly ordered in to rows and rows of rice terraces, or squares of vegetable patches. The whole village seems to be out in the fields. I've never seen anywhere like it. Being in China it's easy to forget it's still a third world country, in comparison to other places we've seen such as Russia and Argentina where poverty jumps up and smacks you in the face, people here seem to have a much better standard of living, whether they live in the city or rural areas like Zhoazing. And... absolutely everyone, everywhere in China seems to be out working. It's not always easy travelling here, but out of everywhere we've been China is the country that has sparked the most late night discussions between us about democracy, equality, free press ...etc It's a fascinating place and from what we've seen, I think key to China's success will be that they're developing internally. Whether that's agriculture like Zhoazing or encouraging domestic tourism in Yunnan, it's all sustainable development.

text: Listen Training for one of the biggest days of her life Amie Dugan | avr. 22, 2014 | North America: New York Jessica Spitz, 18, is training for one of the biggest days of her life. The Commack, Long Island, High School senior will be competing in the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games in the 100-yard dash and the shot put. "When you finish and you know you did a good job you just feel really proud of yourself," she says. "You feel accomplished." From the moment Jessica joined Special Olympics last year, she was hooked. "I remember the first practice I was really slow and I didn't really like running and I wasn't sure I was going to do it and I kept practicing and getting a lot faster and now I love running," she says. Jessica says "Special Olympics teaches you about teamwork and friendship that will just last a lifetime," she says. "All the friendships I've made and all the leadership stuff I've learned I'll continue to always carry that with me." Read more and see video at the link below.

"We are the SFJAZZ Collective, and none of us live in San Francisco," Stefon Harris told the crowd at The Egg's Swyer Theatre. The local hero added, giggling, "It's too expensive!"
The octet of heavy hitters may have nothing to do with the Bay Area, but the group's concept certainly does: SFJAZZ is one of the biggest music-related non-profits on the scene, with a years-long mission of bringing jazz to the people – primarily through the San Francisco Jazz Festival and various educational/outreach programs. But SFJAZZ also reaches out through recordings and tours by the Collective, which gives one giant of the genre the spotlight treatment every season: Wayne Shorter got the honor when the Collective played The Egg last year, and this time around the focus of their "second annual visit" was my favorite pianist of all time, Horace Silver.

The night before the kids' trip to Island Cove, sleep eluded me, as is often the case when my unused, atrophied legs ache and my mind is so active, flitting from one thought to another. No, I wasn't thinking about problems and worries. My brain just wants to think often even during sleeping time :D. Then added to that was the sadness that hovered over my heart and soul, knowing that I wouldn't still be traveling with them after heaps of faith and prayers. I spent the sleepless hours praying for their safe travels, not wanting to be disturbed anymore once sleep came. And it did at past 4 AM. When the kids each took turns in kissing me goodbye at 6:30, I didn't even bother to open my eyes.
I wanted to sleep until noon, that way, I wouldn't spend too long a time thinking about them going out of town without me and wallowing in loneliness. But at 9:35, I was wide awake. I sat up, hauling my heavy heart. And finally, I gave in to tears.
But I didn't want to linger in that place too long. Futile. Although, admittedly, my mind wanted to speculate on how it would have been pure delight to hold my children's hands on either side of me as we walk around the resort, or luxuriate in the cheerful chatter around the table as we investigate the menu, or hear the peals of Tim's laughter as he enjoys my company in an outing for the very first time. Those are all delicious thoughts but could tear my heart and peace apart. So, I shunned them and went another way. I proceeded with my day and shoved sadness aside.
I was finishing up my watercolor painting of blue Himalayan poppies when I received a text message from my boy using his Dad's cellphone, "Hi, Mom! I like what you chose for vacation!" He attached an elephant emoji which got me thinking, "Did he really see an elephant there?" But that didn't really matter for my mother's heart had soared, shedding off all heaviness!
Tim had another message for me: "I purely had fun out here!"
That was all I needed and my heart was full. The faithful Lord had filled me up once again even in the midst of the desert.
I've been ill for 13 years now, some years sicker and weaker, other years, partially recovered and stronger. It's been a long, arduous journey, but I can't think of a single time that I had totally relinquished hope and chosen to quit. Even when my soul cried out to be released from all the suffering, my mother's heart and mind held on and resisted the wave of hopelessness and defeat.
I am a warrior (the tears are coming now). These arms and hands had been engaged in battles long and hard. If Jacob wrestled with God and fought for His blessing overnight that he got a broken thigh in the process, I have been wrestling with God, fighting tooth and nail for my own blessing these past 13 years (crying). Bloodied, many times broken, bruised, beaten, left for dead at times, but still, I stay in the ring with Him.
The mercy that I fight so hard for is the same mercy that would lift me up to my feet every now and then even before the referee has counted to 10.
What holds me down on earth when I could wish to be with the Lord where "God shall wipe away all tears from [my] eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain…" (Rev. 21:4)? It's my children. I don't want them to be motherless. I fight for them. I fight for my life. I fight for length of life. I claim God's promises (He wants us to!). I believe I'm the best person for the job: mothering my own children. Otherwise, why would God give them to me?
So, I hold onto His mercies, to His compassionate heart. He knows the mother's heart. He understands how it beats. So everyday, I ask boldly, and everyday, I thank Him that I'm still here with my family.
What drove Jacob to wrestle with God all night? He was to meet his brother Esau after so many years. Years before, he fled Esau's wrath because he stole their father's blessings intended for his brother. Now, he was scared for his life and those of his wives and children. He needed God to bless him and preserve him and all of his.
It's the same thing with a mother fighting for her life and all of hers.
I maybe weak and unable to walk and travel, but by God's grace, I do my best to be a strong presence in our family. I hold down my role as a mother and manage my dominion (our home) with God's love, wisdom, and guidance. I plan. I direct. I act. All from my throne room that is our bedroom :). No one assists the kids with schoolwork but me. I discipline them through heart-to-heart talks, conversations, and letters. I have appointed myself as their life coach, guiding and teaching them the lessons I've learned in all of my 48 years of life. I tell them stories of my childhood, simple yet rich, my growing up years, the hard, gruelling years of high school and college – all of them contributing to the development of my character, who and what I am now.
I shop for our clothes online. Oh, thank God for the Internet and online shops! My Hannah has the habit of resisting my choices, but I have also appointed myself as her stylist (whether she likes it or not) and my husband's . Hannah has no fashion sense (yet). We are not worldly fashionable people (no more of that since we are Christ followers), but she doesn't have a clue as to what goes well together. I don't want her going out looking like young Cosette in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. I want that the Lord Jesus is glorified in and through her: A blessed child of God.
I train them to read good books. And now that Hannah is more mature, I advise her to read the Bible everyday and other Christian devotionals. Video games are out. I encourage them in the arts and hone their talents. They both play the piano. I teach them many things, but most of all, together with my husband, we do our best to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4).
We teach them gratitude. In this selfish, pampered world of instant gratification, I can see that it's hard for them to grasp the deep meaning of gratefulness. That kind that emanates from the heart and soul. But we fight for their hearts and souls, too, in prayer. Unceasing prayers, like water that flows interminably on stones, polishing them until smooth and shiny, will do its powerful work on our children overtime.
I cannot count the times that my heart has been wounded by my own people. I had cried in anger, frustration, regret, weariness, disappointment, discouragement, and sheer sadness. But motherhood is a job that you don't want to quit. And by God's immense grace, I'm not quitting.

NEW YORK, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. said Wednesday it reached a temporary agreement with the New York Power Authority to help avoid a shutdown of its Massena East smelter, although it will slash 110 jobs in 2003 at the plant as part of a restructuring plan.

OTTAWA, Aug. 8, 2015 /CNW/ -
Why you should take note
The Public Health Agency of Canada is collaborating with provincial public health partners, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Health Canada to investigate 83 Canadian cases of Cyclospora infections in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec. The source of this outbreak is not yet known, and the Agency and its partners continue to investigate.
The risk to Canadians is low, but people with weakened immune systems, young children and older adults are at increased risk for developing complications if they get sick. In Canada and the US, past foodborne outbreaks of Cyclospora have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce.
Cyclospora is a microscopic single-celled parasite that is passed in people's feces. If it comes in contact with food or water, it can infect the people who consume it. This causes an intestinal illness called cyclosporiasis.
Cyclospora is most common in certain tropical and subtropical countries and regions.
In Canada, non-travel related illnesses due to Cyclospora occur more frequently in the spring and summer months. lllnesses among travellers can happen at any time of year.
Investigation Summary
In Canada, a total of 83 cases have been reported in British Columbia (3), Alberta (1), Ontario (74), and Quebec (5). Two cases have been hospitalized, and are recovered or recovering. No deaths have been reported. Individuals became sick between May 9 and July 18, 2015. To date, no source has been identified. The investigation is ongoing.
The majority of cases of cyclosporiasis in this outbreak were ill in late June and early July, with the last case reported illness onset being July 18.
Previous foodborne illness outbreaks of Cyclospora, in Canada and US have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce, such as pre-packaged salad mix, basil, cilantro, berries, mesclun lettuce and snow peas.
To date, no multi-jurisdictional outbreaks have been linked to produce grown in Canada.
Who is most at risk
People living or traveling in tropical or subtropical regions of the world may be at increased risk for infection because the parasite is found in some of these regions.
People with weakened immune systems, young children and older adults are at increased risk for developing complications. Cyclosporiasis infection responds to antibiotic treatment and is not considered to be life-threatening in healthy people.
Most people recover fully, though it may take several weeks to fully recover.
What you should do to protect your health
Although the source of the outbreak has not been identified, past outbreaks have been associated with imported fresh produce, including pre-packaged salad mix, basil, cilantro, berries, mesclun lettuce and snow peas.
The following general food safety tips are important in reducing the risk of infection from foodborne illnesses:
People infected with Cyclospora can experience a wide range of symptoms. Some do not get sick at all, while others feel as though they have a bad case of stomach flu. Few people get seriously ill.
Most people develop the following symptoms within one week after being infected with Cyclospora:
Cyclospora illness can last from a few days to several weeks, if left untreated. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times.
As with any disease causing diarrhea, people infected with Cyclospora should drink plenty of liquids to replace lost body fluids and prevent dehydration.
People who experience symptoms or suspect they have been infected with cyclospora, should contact their health care providers or local public health.
What the Government of Canada is doing
The Government of Canada is committed to food safety. The Public Health Agency of Canada is leading the human health investigation of this outbreak and is in regular contact with its federal and provincial partners to monitor and take collaborative steps to address the outbreak. Health Canada provides food-related health risk assessments to determine if the presence of a certain substance or microorganism poses a health risk to consumers. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) conducts food safety investigations into the possible food source of an outbreak. The Government of Canada will continue to update Canadians as new information related to this investigation becomes available.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Surgeon General's historic report on smoking and health, which led to the well-known Surgeon General's warning label on cigarette packages.
"In the United States over 1,300 Americans die every single day. That's like two overloaded [Boeing] 747's crashing every single day," said Dr. Phillip Huang, medical director for the Austin-Travis County Health and Human Services.
It was on Jan. 11, 1964 that Luther L. Terry, M.D., the 9th Surgeon General of the United States released a report titled, "Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service."
The report is marked as the first major step toward reducing the use of tobacco worldwide.
"Tobacco kills more than AIDS, crack, heroin, cocaine, alcohol, car accidents, fire, murder, and suicide combined every year in Texas and the United States," said Dr. Huang.
Throughout the past 50 years, 31 Surgeon General's have gone on to expand on this initial report. In fact, in 2004 the Surgeon General report concluded that smoking affects nearly every organ of the body.
In a recent report written by Assistant Secretary for Health Howard Koh it stated smoking rates have fallen from 43 percent in 1965 to about 18 percent today.
That has also led to mortality rates from lung cancer declining as well. Still, cigarettes remain the chief preventable killer in America — with more than 20 million Americans dying prematurely since the first Surgeon General's report in 1964.
"Ninety death certificates last month in Austin-Travis County identified tobacco use contributing to their death," said Huang.
Now there's a new battle brewing: e-cigarettes or electronic cigarettes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the percentage of U.S. middle- and high school students who use this type of tobacco has doubled between 2011 and 2012.
Austin Recovery in Northeast Austin works with clients to quit smoking as they battle alcohol and drug addictions.
"We use nicotine replacement therapy and relaxation to help curb the cravings," said Ramona Cruz-Peters, senior director of Marketing and Communication.
Some of the biggest problems clients face is the social aspect of smoking. Through lectures and group therapy, they teach their clients to replace that smoke break.
"We talk about taking walks outside, watching TV, playing a board game – basically replacing that time you spent smoking with something productive," said Cruz-Peters.
Weight gain is another problem they tackle. Experts at Austin Recovery recommend getting a gym membership and using the time you would have smoked a cigarette to look at healthy food options.
Those who have a hard time battling the oral fixation of cigarettes can use lozenges.
"This allows them to have something to suck on, which can make a big difference," said Elizabeth Devine, director of Treatment Services at Austin Recovery.
There's a free tip line to help smokers quit: 1-877-YES-QUIT.
There's also information online on how to kick the smoking habit.

Which Console Did You Buy/Receive Over The Holidays?
Official sites for three highly anticipated games became open to the public in the last few days.
First up, the official site for Activision's next entry in the Guitar Hero series, Guitar Hero: Metallica, is now open at Metallica.GuitarHero.com. The site includes details on the entire tracklist, information on all of the guest bands, a ton of gameplay footage and an updated instrument compatibility chart for all of the various permutations of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Next, we have the very vage, but very official, teaser site for BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams. It can be found at SomethingInTheSea.com and doesn't actually reveal anything about the game. Instead, it's attempting to lay the backstory of the sequel with news of missing girls and sightings of strange red "phantoms" out in the ocean.

Black Rhino and Tickbird want to know why Crocodile is crying. They search the African landscape for other animals who might know the answer. The few they find suggest Crocodile is sad that so many of them face extinction. But when Black Rhino finally asks Crocodile why he's crying, he learns an interesting fact: Crocodile isn't really crying; he's wetting his eyes in the hot, dry sun like all crocodiles do. And Black Rhino learns something else about crocodiles: they can have you for lunch if you don't watch out!
Including a photo of each animal featured in the story along with a description of its current status on the list of endangered species, this picture book is a great educational tool. A share of the proceeds from sales of the book will go to the Shompole Community Trust, a land and animal reserve in Kenya.

"What is a cold sore?" you may ask. Well, a cold sore or a fever blister is a red, painful blister that usually occurs around the lips and in the mouth.
Cold sores are indicative of oral herpes, medically known as herpes labialis, which is in turn caused by the herpes simplex virus.
It is one of the main dominating symptoms of oral herpes. This simply (and unfortunately) means that when you have cold sores in the mouth, you are 99% likely to have oral herpes.
What Causes Fever Blisters?
As was previously mentioned, fever blisters are caused by the herpes simplex virus, also known as the cold sore virus. Essentially, the blisters that appear in the mouth are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1, HSV-1 for short. Another related virus, the HSV type 2 mainly causes genital herpes, which is also characterized by cold sores that appear in the genital area.
What Does a Cold Sore Look Like: Info About Cold Sore Stages
The appearance of a cold sore differs depending on the severity and the stage of a cold sore. There are various stages in the life cycle of cold sores:
- The Tingle/Prodome Stage. On this initial stage, you would sense some soreness, swelling or tautness in the location where the cold sores will appear in. The cold sore is usually not obvious externally during this time.
- Blister Stage. In two to three days, fluid filled blisters become visible. They usually start out small but form clusters.
- Weeping Stage. On the fourth day, cold sore blisters usually rupture leaving a reddish but shallow ulceration. The surface of the cold sore then becomes gray in color. This is the most painful stage of the outbreak.
- Crusting Stage. A few days after the ulceration, you may feel that the area has dried out and has formed a scab with a brownish crust. The scab usually itches and you might feel some burning sensation. Scabs can break or crack, leading to slight bleeding.
- Final Healing Stage. Within 10 to 14 days from the first symptoms, cold sores usually heal, flake away and disappear. You do not have to worry about scarring, as cold sores usually do not leave marks on the skin.
The Difference Between Cold Sore and Canker Sore
People often mistaken cold sores to be canker sores, and vice versa. Both canker sores are painful and annoying, but they appear differently.
Canker sores are white and they are usually open sores that grow soft, internal areas of the mouth. They are a form of mouth ulcer and are definitely not contagious. They are also neither fluid filled nor do they form in clusters.
Is This a Cold Sore or Pimple?
Cold sores are definitely not pimples. Pimples appear as tiny bumps which sometimes become pus filled, but they do not appear singly, nor do they tend to cluster. Pimples can feel painful, but the pain roots from the inner layer of the skin, and not on the surface. Pimples are never contagious.
What to Do For Fever Blisters
What are cold sores and what can we do about them? You must know that oral herpes can be difficult to deal. The HSV virus does not tend to leave the nervous system for good once a cold sore outbreak heals.
However, there are many cold sore medications and remedies out there for you that will definitely help make oral herpes symptoms more manageable.
There are over-the-counter medications that will lessen the discomfort and pain that usually accompanies fever blisters.
You can also resort to home remedies such as cold compress, tea bag application, applying moisturizers and petroleum jelly, and using herbal remedies such as tea tree oil and sage, among others.
You can also supplement your diet with lysine and zinc, which has been seen to help accelerate the healing process.

Blood Meridian; Or, The Ribbon Redness In The East
Louise Phillips' RED RIBBONS (Hachette Ireland) arrived, with the blurb elves wittering thusly:
A SERIAL KILLERSo there you have it. RED RIBBONS is published on September 3rd, and for those of you wondering who Louise Phillips is, herewith be her official bio:
When the body of a missing schoolgirl is found buried in the Dublin Mountains, her hands clasped together in prayer, two red ribbons in her hair, the hunt for her killer reaches epic proportion with the discovery of a second girl's body 24 hours later.
Desperate to find the murderer, police call in criminal psychologist Kate Pearson, to get inside the mind of the serial killer before he strikes again. But the more Kate discovers about the killings, the more it all begins to feel terrifyingly familiar as her own past threatens to cloud her investigations.
Ellie Brady has been institutionalised for 15 years, for the killing of her twelve-year-old daughter, Amy. After all this time, does Ellie hold the key to finding the killer of the Dublin schoolgirls?
What would you do if you were accused of killing your own daughter? What if those closest to you turned their back on you? And when everyone stopped listening, what next, when even you believe you're guilty?
Born in Dublin, Louise Phillips returned to writing in 2006, after raising her family. That year she was selected by Dermot Bolger as an emerging talent in the county. Louise's work has been published as part of many anthologies, including COUNTY LINES from New Island, and various literary journals. In 2009, she won the Jonathan Swift Award for her short story 'Last Kiss', and in 2011 she was a winner in the Irish Writers' Centre Lonely Voice platform. She has also been short-listed for the Molly Keane Memorial Award, Bridport UK, and long-listed twice for the RTE Guide/Penguin Short Story Competition. RED RIBBONS is her debut novel. Her second novel, THE DOLL'S HOUSE, will be published by Hachette Books Ireland in 2013.

Wake Up, It's Time To Die
With so many mystery novels to choose from and so many new titles appearing each year, where should the reader start? What are the classics of the genre? Which are the hidden gems? In the most ambitious anthology of its kind yet attempted, the world's leading mystery writers have come together to champion the greatest mystery novels ever written. In a series of personal essays that often reveal as much about themselves and their work work as they do about the books that they love, more than 120 authors from twenty countries have created a guide that will be indispensable for generations of readers and writers. From Christie to Child and Poe to PD James, from Sherlock Holmes to Hannibal Lecter and Philip Marlowe to Peter Wimsey, BOOKS TO DIE FOR brings together the cream of the mystery world for a feast of reading pleasure, a treasure trove for those new to the genre and those who believe that there is nothing new left to discover. This is the one essential book for every reader who has ever finished a mystery novel and thought . . . I want more!This, of course, is always the period of phoney war. That agonizing time when you've done all you can to make a book as good as it can be, when editors and designers have wrought their magic, and the book seems to exist in a kind of limbo between what you hope it is and how the rest of the world will perceive it.
There is nothing more to do but fret and sweat, and try not to obsess over the most minute of details.
Unusually for me at this point in the proceedings, and alongside all the usual traumas, I'm feeling a quiet pride for helping to bring BOOKS TO DIE FOR to this stage. That's the case even though there's an added pressure on this occasion, because BTDF isn't just my book, and won't simply stand or fall on how my efforts. To a large extent, I think, the book belongs to everyone who contributed to it, and to the crime fiction / mystery community at large, writers and readers alike.
But even while acknowledging that, and accepting that BTDF isn't perfect - no book is, and I'd imagine that there will be very few well-informed crime / mystery readers who won't read it and wail, 'But what about [insert overlooked tome here]?' - it still feels pretty good to have helped to bring the book this far. It was a fraught experience at times, and a steep learning curve, but it was terrific to be involved in it, and particularly to observe, in John, a writer at the top of his game and how he goes about his business.
Being the generous soul he is, John Connolly won't tell you that he pretty much shouldered said hefty tome up the hill and over the finish line in a kind of Sisyphus-taunting performance, but he did, and did so in some style too. For my own part, I like to think that I brought a little panache in the way I stood back and watched and admired, and occasionally applauded. It's also true that Clair Lamb's input was prodigious, crucial and never less than excellent.
Anyway, as I say, the genie is out of the bottle now and on its way to a bookstore near you. Launch dates for BOOKS TO DIE FOR in South Africa, Dublin and Belfast can be found here, and there's oodles of information on the book, its contributors and the books and authors they wrote about, here and here. I sincerely hope you enjoy …

O Danny Boy Woodrell
Doyle Redmond, the chief character in GIVE US A KISS, is an educated 'hillbilly' (an intimate term like 'Paddy' which Ozarkers resent on the lips of outsiders) who deliberately damps down his vocabulary when at home. And while Doyle is a novelist he's also someone the Kansas police want to talk to.Woodrell is not only the senator's favourite crime novelist, he's his favourite novelist, full stop.
But when Doyle holes up in a shack in the Ozarks he lovingly lays out "the books I never left behind, and made any crap hole I landed in home to me". Look at the list and you will see why Woodrell should be accorded an honorary status as an Irish writer -- or at least an Irish reader.
"There were a couple of Elizabeth Bowen novels, a quartet by Edward Lewis Wallant, one volume of Pierce Egan's Boxiana, The Williamsburg Trilogy by Daniel Fuchs, Carson McCullers's oeuvre, a stack of Twain, a batch of Erskine Caldwell's thin li'l wonders, some Liam O'Flaherty and John McGahern and Grace Paley and Faulkner, all of Chandler, and a copy of Jim Harrison's A Good Day to Die."
That, it's fair to say, is not something I might have expected to hear from an Irish senator in my lifetime. For the rest of the piece, clickety-click here.
Senator Harris is in for a treat this September, because the great Daniel Woodrell will be appearing at the Mountains to Sea Literary Festival in Dun Laoghaire, on Sunday September 9th at 4.30pm.
I'm delighted to say that your humble host will be reading alongside Daniel Woodrell - and that, it's fair to say, is not something I might have expected to hear from myself in my lifetime. Arts journalist and broadcaster Sinead Gleeson will be playing the genial host, and already it's shaping up to be one of the highlights of my year. For more information, and booking, etc., clickety-click here.
Finally, and while we're on the subject of the Mountains to Sea Festival, I'll be hosting a crime writing workshop on Saturday, September 8th, during which I will "guide participants through the principles of good crime writing and will talk about the particular nuances of this popular form and explore the craft of the genre, outlining the elements that comprise a compelling novel."
Of course, I could just tell you now to read Daniel Woodrell's entire canon and achieve pretty much the same result. But where's the fun in that?

"Ya Wanna Do It Here Or Down The Station, Punk?": Anthony Quinn
What crime novel would you most like to have written?
Anything by Graham Greene, because his shading of good and evil still resonates strongly today. Has there ever been a better writer of noir?
What fictional character would you most like to have been?
Patrick Kavanagh's Tarry Flynn - a life spent constructing hayricks and reading poetry in the hedgerows, with a pitchfork to hand for devilment at night.
Who do you read for guilty pleasures?
Social media websites are a terrible distraction when you have writer's block at the computer. Dickens and Shakespeare were so prolific only because their inkwells weren't full of friends and followers jostling for their attention.
Most satisfying writing moment?
Successfully forging a doctor's prescription. No, seriously, when a background character you thought insignificant suddenly takes over a page and then an entire chapter.
The best Irish crime novel is …?
I know this is the golden age of Irish crime fiction with authors such as mine host's ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL redefining the genre itself, but I think the best Irish crime novel is still out there, lurking in the subconscious, waiting to be written …
What Irish crime novel would make a great movie?
Any of Stuart Neville's thrillers, which read as vivid cinematic treatments of Northern Ireland.
Worst / best thing about being a writer?
Worst thing is the daily confrontation with a blank page. Best thing is filling same – even though you might feel like flushing it down the loo the next day.
The pitch for your next book is …?
My historical thriller BLOOD DIMMED TIDE is currently doing the rounds. WB Yeats and his assistant ghost-catcher are summonsed to Sligo by the restless spirit of a girl whose body is mysteriously washed ashore in a coffin from the previous century. They are led on a gripping journey through the ruins of Sligo's abandoned estates and into its darkest, most haunted corners as the country descends into a bloody war of independence.
Who are you reading right now?
Cormac McCarthy's early 'Appalachian noir'.
God appears and says you can only write OR read. Which would it be?
I'd pick 'read' rather than 'write', and hope it's not an Old Testament God, otherwise he'll condemn me to an eternity of reading my own work as a just punishment for attempting to get it published.
The three best words to describe your own writing are …?
Everything is practice.
Anthony Quinn's DISAPPEARED is published by the Mysterious Press.

The Other Lady Of The Shades
Darren Shan is best known for his series (plural) of horror books for young adults, which have sold in excess of 25 million copies to date.
LADY OF THE SHADES (Orion) sees Darren back in the world of adult crime fiction, with the blurb elves wibbling thusly:
LADY OF THE SHADES (Orion) sees Darren back in the world of adult crime fiction, with the blurb elves wibbling thusly:
Ed, an American author on the hunt for a story for his next book, arrives in London looking for inspiration. A stranger in a strange city, he's haunted by a deadly secret that refuses to stay buried, and no matter how hard he tries he cannot escape the manifest sins of his past. What Ed wants is answers, what he finds is something he definitely didn't bargain for: the beautiful and untouchable Andeanna Menderes. Andeanna is a woman who is dangerously bound to one of London's most notorious crime lords, and if they are caught together it could mean death for them both. Ensnared in an illicit affair that can only be conducted in the shadows, Ed's world is turned upside down as a series of shattering revelations blurs the line between what's real and what's not ...The book combines 'the darkness of John Connolly and the quirkiness of Neil Gaiman', apparently, and you'll be able to see if LADY OF THE SHADES lives up to that kind of billing on August 30th. Which means that Darren Shan is the latest potential contender for this year's crime fiction category at the Irish Book Awards. No kidding, that's going to be the most fascinating line-up since Brazil 1970 …

Reviewing The Evidence
Keith Ridgway's HAWTHORN & CHILD (Granta Books) in the Irish Independent and Irish Times yesterday. What piqued my interest was that the phrase 'crime fiction' was conspicuous by its absence in both cases, even though our eponymous heroes are police detectives. Quoth the blurb elves:
Here's a flavour of both reviews:
If HAWTHORN & CHILD is in the same ballpark, I'm in for a treat.
Hawthorn and Child are mid-ranking detectives tasked with finding significance in the scattered facts. They appear and disappear in the fragments of this book along with a ghost car, a crime boss, a pick-pocket, a dead racing driver and a pack of wolves. The mysteries are everywhere, but the biggest of all is our mysterious compulsion to solve them. In HAWTHORN & CHILD, the only certainty is that we've all misunderstood everything.It's not true, of course, that every novel to feature a police detective (or two) is a crime or mystery novel. Neither is it true that a book becomes a crime novel simply because crimes are committed or investigated during the course of the story. So I'm not entirely sure that HAWTHORN & CHILD qualifies as an Irish crime novel, or that Keith Ridgway would want it to be considered as such. Keith Ridgway is Irish, the novel is set in London, and Ridgway writes in the literary genre (I've already seen a call for it to be longlisted for the Booker Prize on Wednesday). That said, an earlier novel, THE PARTS, also dabbled in crime fiction tropes; and anyway, who the hell really knows what's bubbling away at the back of a writer's mind?
Here's a flavour of both reviews:
"Ridgway's new book, HAWTHORN & CHILD, is strange, unsettling, fragmented, confusing, at times dreamlike (these are all good things, by the way). You won't find sentimental stories of Irish emigrants here, nor self-flagellating clichés about dysfunctional families. […]I haven't read the novel yet - I'll be trotting along to my local independent bookseller tomorrow, as fast as my little legs will allow - but it sounds like a fascinating prospect, similar in theme and tone to two of my favourite novels from last year, Sara Gran's CITY OF THE DEAD and James Sallis' THE KILLER IS DYING. Both were vaguely surreal in their approach and existential in tone, but - and here we can draw parallels in an Irish context with Flann O'Brien's THE THIRD POLICEMAN, or the work of Ken Bruen, Eoin McNamee and Colin Bateman's 'Mystery Man' series - tapped into an uncompromising realism in acknowledging that, despite our culture's plaintive protestations to the contrary, justice is a fiction, evidence is arbitrary, and any conclusions drawn can only be subjective and thus fictions in their own right. All of which, of course, is the true subject matter and governing philosophy of every great crime novel.
"The story, or rather stories, concern two London policemen, the titular detectives Hawthorn and Child. It opens with them being called to a shooting, but this is just the beginning for a series of incidents both violent and tender, strange occurrences, stranger characters, shifts in time, shifts in perspective, shifts in tone and tempo.
"The different threads are connected, but tenuously so, though of course this is deliberately done: it's not as if Ridgway has lost control of his own stories.
"The book makes the reader work hard, much like its two heroes: sifting through the facts, piecing together clues, trying to shape a cohesive narrative out of seemingly random bits of information. And it's all the more satisfying for that." - Darragh McManus, Irish Independent
"HAWTHORN & CHILD is a working partnership of two very different policemen. Together they patrol a seething present-day, utterly tangible London by car [...]
"It is a novel of contrasts: darkness and light. The daily and mundane balanced against the sheer hell of evil. One man, who is good with accounts, has secured an easy life – admittedly working for a gangster – but then he finds himself pinned under a car that could fall on him. Elsewhere a baby who is about to be rescued is thrown down a stairs. A woman who lives in a neat, spacious flat hangs herself over a cooker while the gas rings burn her from beneath." - Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
If HAWTHORN & CHILD is in the same ballpark, I'm in for a treat.

What is the role of the mother in The Giver?
- print Print
- list Cite
Parents do not play the same role in Jonas's community as they do in ours. In our world, adults choose their spouses based on love and decide whether to have children. In Jonas's world, adults apply for spouses that are then selected by committee. The relationships are designed entirely for the purpose of raising children. Adults apply for children, raise them, and then separate.
Jonas's mother does not love him the way mothers are supposed to in our world. Love does not exist in the community. Parents care for their children, and enjoy spending time with them. This is not the same as love. Parents serve as more of a teacher or guide. Their role is to teach the children they raise how to behave in the community, and to ensure that they are raised without feelings.
In the story, Jonas's mother and father both serve as a window for the reader into the system of justice employed in the community. She works for the Department of Justice as a sort of judge. She is responsible for determining the punishments of people who break the community's rules. For example, anyone who breaks three rules is released (killed). Similarly, through Jonas's father we learn how babies are raised and that babies who do not meet developmental requirements are also released.

Phone Scoop Review

Motorola offers up a rugged PTT phone for AT&T. The Tundra can take a serious beating and still get the job done. Check out Phone Scoop's full review and video tour. read review ›
User Reviews
Average Ratings
Good phone, BUT
Pros- Had this phone for eleven months, very good sound quality, easy to use, has all the features an average user needs
Cons - After about eight months, the hinges/bushings in the flip feature have worn to the point where the phone will NOT lock in the open position; this causes calls to be dropped if you are not careful to hold the phone in an upright position; two of my associates have this same problem with their tundra; carrier has replaced it in warranty period;

Great Phone. I have had this phone for 6 months. I have had no problems with it at all.
Pros: Loud and clear. Good signal, display menu layout. Always has good bars even out in the country. I have never dropped a call.
Everything is good about this phone.
Cons. Sometimes slow display.
Get this phone is you want reliability.

AD reviews continues below...
I am VERY rough on phones, I have owned too many phones on AT&T to count, from the old LG C1300 / G4015 to the iPhone 3G, and none can compare to the durability and specs of the VA76r. The Tundra is the kind of phone where you can forget about it in the pouring rain or drop it in the snow or even drop it while rock climbing and it would take it like a champ, although I would not try putting it through the last one.lol. Built to withstand just about everything you can throw at it, there is only one downfall. The camera is not of the highest quality, but if your not doing photo shoots with it then you'll be fine with the camera. All the buttons are very responsive and the flip is VERY sturdy. I currently own 3 cell phones, the iPhone 3G, Sidekick LX 2009 (gotta love phones.lol) and the Tundra, and out of all 3 the Tundra is my favorite

Durable and reliable
Ive had my va76r for about 3 months now. I own a construction company and go to the bar often so in both cases i needed a durable phone. This phone is just as durable as they say Ive dropped it on cement, was running it fell out of my pocket and i booted it about 20 feet lol, and left it in the rain for about 10 min and it still works great. The size is a little big but thats because the plastic coating on the outside. The only problem i have with the phone is the menu loading once in a while it takes a couple seconds to boot up the next screen but it isn't all the time. Battery life is about 5 days with little usage around 3 days when sending 50 texts a day and 30 min a day on the phone. Reception is awesome everywhere i go i have 5 bars when others only have 2 or 3.

Biggest pile of crap I've come to use
this was a sad review to post, because I really tried to use this phone, but when the screen goes out 4 times your a little mad. had this phone like 1 year ago, and the screen when turned the phone would work but 4 secs when the phone was on the screen would go completely out. i had this happened on all 4 until i got the iphone. stay away. it wont work for you

Good RF Performance if you can Hear Caller
I have had the Motorola Tundra for one week. I am disappointed with the sound level on the handset speaker. The speaker phone sound level is OK. I had a Motorola V365 which is a predecessor of the Tundra. The sound level on the V365 was great. It is surprising that a higher end phone would have such a low sound level. These are usually for professionals or contractor use. We need sound level to hear. I am an Engineer that designs Radio Frequency hardware and have extensive audio knowledge. It is even more confusing to read professional reviews that say that say the audio quality is excellent, they are wrong. The DSP is not close to excellent on this phone. Callers frequently sound muffled and that makes it worse with the low sound level.

It's ok...
I used this phone for a few days and returned it. I live at a fringe area but the Tundra was able to pick up and hold to a signal with no problem. The external antenna works great and it's the best phone I have ever used in terms of reception.
But, the lack of personalize email was a problem. The voice dial feature works 30% of the time and for some reason Google Maps crashes. Another real problem is that the phone has GPS but only works with ATT Navigator but not other 3rd party software.
I really wanted this phone to work as it's been the best reception phone I've use but the other short comings were just too much.

Great Phone!
I had the iPhone 3G and BlackBerry Bold. Both could hold a 3G signal, but sometimes would slip to edge. However, iPhone gave me issues and the Bold was to much for what I would use it for.
When I saw this Motorola Tundra, it was a perfect match. Not only does it have 3G, but it holds a solid 3G signal!
This doesn't have your touch screen or Blackberry features. However, it's a great solid phone and has plenty of features.
I'm happy I switch to this Tundra phone and will be keeping for long time. :)

excellent phone!
This much needs to be stated first. The Motorola Tundra is a BIG RUGGED phone. The phones size and outside aesthetics should not be a considered a problem. If you have seen the phone or have read reviews on it, you know that your getting a larger less eye appealing phone before you buy it.
For those of us who want or need a solidly constructed phone, At&t did a very good job with the Tundra. It is pretty much a Nextel phone that uses At&t's network
1. Big, tough, and rugged. Perfect for people who are hard on their phones, have bigger hands, or who are just plain clumsy like me.
2. Best reception of any at&t phone available. If your used to getting one or two bars where you live, this phone is worth taking a look at.
3. Call quality is outstanding, and the speakerphone is loud and clear.
4. Push to talk feature worked pretty well. Your not going to beat Nextel at this, but for those who want to switch to at&t don't let the ptt capabilities hold you back. This phone does a good job with ptt.
5. For a "real man's" phone, it is very feature rich.
1. Menu system is a tad slow
2. Keypad is divided by a little grid. This isn't a big deal but does feel slightly odd.
3. A phone like this isn't supposed to be aesthetically pleasing, but come on at&t. Make one in black next time.
None of the three cons were the least restriction in the phones functions. The Tundra is a good rugged phone with great reception, call quality, and ptt capabilities. As mentioned, Nextel is still the gold standard for these services...but their network isn't far reaching enough. If you need Nextel services without the limits of their network, this is a good alternative. I'd like to see at&t come out with a few more phones such as this one.

Great Phone
Great phone.
Very well built.
Nice menu layout.
Great signal.
Hear callers great.
Callers hear me great.
None with the phone, but wish MOTO made and OEM holster for the phone.

Skoda aims to 'puzzle' with new marketing campaign
Following the success of its recent award-winning marketing campaign to support the launch of the Fabia vRS, Skoda has launched a major new national interactive campaign centered around its TV sponsorship of the US Crime Drama on Channel 5.
Running for 11 weeks, the new 'Skoda Puzzle' campaign will offer an integrated TV and online experience for participants, as part of the brand's ongoing aim to engage with new audiences.
'Skoda Puzzle' is the brainchild of Skoda and leading advertising agency, Fallon; the same successful partnership that brought the Fabia 'Cake' and 'Made of Meaner Stuff' TV adverts to audiences last year. Their work with the Google Creative Agency team has helped to make the idea a reality implementing the online component on both Skoda's YouTube channel and embedded in the Skoda website. Golley Slater Birmingham will handle all PR and social media activity around the campaign.
Skoda Puzzle will link the TV idents to an online trail to find the location of a hidden virtual Skoda car. Participants will be encouraged to follow the trail through to its final week in early July, with the opportunity to win a brand new Skoda Fabia vRS at the end of the campaign.
Tying in with the crime drama theme of investigation and puzzle solving, the idents will put the viewer in the role of detective, giving a new clue to the whereabouts of the hidden virtual car each week. The first new set of idents will air on Monday every week. TV viewers will then have a chance to see the clue across all US Crime Drama on Channel 5 programming throughout the week. After solving the answer to the week's puzzle, the participant must enter it on Skoda's YouTube channel in order to progress to the next week of the trail. As the weeks go on, the answers to the ident clues will bring the participants closer and closer to the exact location of the virtual car.
Users will be able to watch the TV idents and enter their answer on Skoda's YouTube channel at skodapuzzle.com. Users' online experience will be extended through the dedicated social media channels which will support the campaign; a Skoda Puzzle Facebook page (facebook.com/skodapuzzle), and a Skoda Puzzle Twitter account (twitter.com/skodapuzzle).
Users will be encouraged to engage with the campaign through these channels, where they will be able to 'talk to' Skoda Puzzle, discuss the clues with fellow detectives, and find extra clues, hints and content. Bonus online competitions, quizzes and polls will also be run through these social media channels to encourage engagement and reward the keenest of participants.
The campaign officially launched on 18th April.

ACPI is indeed newer; many newer machines don't even have APM. NetBSD has had problems with both -- especially buggy implementations of both -- over the years; for me, ACPI is usually usable these days. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb

Makes enough for one 9 1/2-inch tart
|1 1/2
|cups flour
|teaspoon salt
|tablespoon sugar
|cup (1 stick) butter, cut into chunks
|tablespoons ice water
|Extra flour (for sprinkling)
2. In a food processor, pulse the flour, salt, and sugar. Scatter the butter over the flour. Pulse the mixture just until it resembles crumbs.
3. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture. Pulse until you can pinch the mixture between your fingers and it holds together. It should not come together to form a ball.
4. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured counter. Knead five or six time s until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in foil, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Set the oven at 400 degrees.
6. On a lightly floured counter, roll the dough to a 12-inch round. Lift it onto the rolling pin and ease it into the tart pan, gently lifting and fitting it into place. Trim the excess pastry off the top of the pan. Prick the surface all over with a fork and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
7. Fill the dough with foil and dried beans for baking. Bake the pastry for 12 minutes or until it is beginning to brown at the edges and the bottom has set. Remove the foil and beans. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees and continue baking for 10 minutes or until the tart is lightly cooked all over. Cool on a rack. Diana Burrell
