Unless they are stopped, everything Owen knows will vanish as if it has never been...And Owen discovers he has a terrifying role to play in this battle: he is the Navigator.

Read an Excerpt
There was something different about the afternoon. It seemed dark although there wasn't much cloud. It seemed cold although the sun shone. And the alder trees along the river stirred and shivered although the wind did not seem to blow. Owen came over the three fields and crossed the river just below the Workhouse on an old beech tree that had fallen several years before, climbing from branch to branch with his eyes almost closed, trying not to look down, even though he knew the river was narrow and sluggish at that point and that there were many trailing branches to cling to if he fell. Only when he reached the other side did he dare to look down, and even then the black, unreflecting surface seemed to be beckoning to him so that he turned away with a shudder.
He had woken early that morning. It was Saturday and he had tried to get back to sleep, but that hadn't worked, so he had got up and got dressed. Before his mother could wake, Owen had slipped out of the house and down to Mary White's shop. Mary had run the shop for many years. It was small and packed with goods and very cozy, with good cooking smells coming from the kitchen behind. Mary, who was a shrewd but kindly woman, had smiled at Owen when he came in. Before he had even asked, she handed him a packet of bacon, milk, and half a dozen eggs. He had no money, but then he never had. Mary used to write down what he got in a little book, but now she didn't even bother with that. As always, she could see his embarrassment.
"Stop looking so worried," she had said. "You'll pay it back someday. Besides, you have to be fed, for all our sakes."
She often said mysterious things like that, telling him that it was a pleasure and a privilege to look after him. Owen didn't know what she meant, for no one else seemed to think that way. Sometimes, when he walked through the little town at the bottom of the hill, you would think he had a bad smell the way people shied away from him and whispered behind their hands. It was the same in school. Sometimes it seemed the only reason that anybody ever talked to him was in order to start a fight. He knew that he had no father, and that his clothes were older and more worn than those of the other boys and girls at the school, but something seemed to run deeper than that.
"It's not that they don't like you," Mary had said, in her curious way. "They see something in you that both frightens them and attracts them as well. People don't like things that they don't understand."
When Owen got back to the house, he cooked the bacon and eggs and took them up to his mother. She woke and smiled sleepily at him, as if awakened from a pleasant dream, then looked around her and frowned, as if bad old memories had come flooding back. He handed her the tray and she took it without thanking him, a vague, worried look on her face. She was like that most of the time now.
Then there was the photograph. It had been taken shortly after Owen had been born. His father was holding him in the crook of one arm, his other arm around Owen's mother. He was dark-haired and strong and smiling. His mother was smiling as well. Even the baby was smiling. The sun shone on their faces and all was well with the world. After his father's death, Owen's mother had taken to carrying the photograph everywhere, looking at it so often that the edges had become frayed. As a reminder of happier times, he supposed. Then one day he noticed that she hadn't looked at it. "Where is it?" he had asked gently. "Where is the photograph?"
She looked up at him. "I lost it," she'd said, and her eyes were full of misery. "I put it down somewhere and I don't remember. . . ."
Now he made a bacon sandwich for himself and took it to his room, where he sat on his wooden chest to eat it. The lock on the trunk was missing and it had never been opened. There was a name on it, J M Gobillard et Fils. It sounded strange and exotic and always made him wish that he was somewhere exciting. Owen knew that his father had brought it back from somewhere and had insisted on it being put in his room, but that was all he knew about it.
He looked around. The only things he really owned in the world were in that room. The old chest. A guitar with broken strings. A dartboard. A set of cards and a battered CD player. There was a replica Spitfire hanging on fishing line from the ceiling. There were a few books on a broken bookcase, a pile of old jigsaws, and a Game Boy.
Owen stood up on the chest and scrambled through the window and onto the branch of a sycamore tree. He swung expertly to the ground from a low branch and set off across the fields.
Owen crossed the burying banks below the mass of the old Workhouse and climbed the sloping bank, passing through the long, tree-lined gully that split the slope. It wasn't that he was hiding from anyone. He just liked the idea of being able to move about the riverbank without anyone seeing him. So he found routes like the gully, or tunnels of hazel and rowan, or dips in the ground that rendered you suddenly invisible. The riverbank was ideal for this. There were ridges and trenches and deep depressions in the ground, as though the earth had been worked over again and again.
It took ten minutes to skirt the Workhouse. It was a tall, forbidding building of cut stone perched on an outcrop of rock that towered above the river. It had been derelict for many years and its roof had fallen in, but something about it made Owen shiver. He had asked many people about its history, but they seemed reluctant to talk. He had asked Mary White about it.
"I bet there are ghosts," he said.
She'd leaned forward in the gloom of her small shop and met his gaze with eyes that seemed suddenly stern and blue in a wrinkled face.
"No ghosts," she had said, giving him a strange look. "No ghosts at the Workhouse. But there are other things. That place has been there longer than anyone thinks."
It took another ten minutes to reach the Den. Owen checked the entrance, as he did every time. A whitethorn bush was bent across it, tied with fishing line. Behind that he had built up a barrier of dried ferns and pieces of bush. The barriers were intact. He moved them carefully aside and rearranged them behind him. He found himself in a clearing just big enough to stand in. The space was lit from above by the sunlight passing through a thick roof of ferns and grass, so it was flooded with greenish light. In front of him was an old wooden door he had pulled from the river after the winter floods. He had attached it to the stone doorway of the Den with leather hinges, but it was still stiff and took all his strength to open.
Inside, things were as he had left them. The Den was roughly two meters square, a room dug into the hillside, its roof supported by old roots. The floor was earth and the walls were a mixture of stones and soil. Owen had found it two years ago while looking for hazelnuts. He had cleared it of fallen earth and old branches and had put an old piece of perspex in a gap in the roof. The roof was under an outgrowth of brambles halfway up the steep part of the slope and the perspex window was invisible while still providing the same greenish light as the space in front of the door.
He had furnished the Den with a sleeping bag and an old sofa that had been dumped beside the river. There were candles for winter evenings, and a wooden box where he kept food. The walls were decorated with objects he had found around the river and in Johnston's yard a quarter of a mile away across the fields. Johnston kept scrap cars and lorries and salvage from old trawlers from the harbor at the river mouth. Owen had often gone to Johnston's, climbing the fence and hunting through the scrap. That was until Johnston had caught him. He winced at the memory. Johnston had hit him hard on the side of the head, then laughed at him as he ran away.

Owen is ostracized by the other children around him for his father's death long ago, a presumed suicide that resulted in his mother being thrown into a haze of depression from which she cannot escape. By his young teens, he's quietly self-reliant, managing the house on his own and taking care of his mother who is forgetful and not always lucid. He spends his time wandering around the terrain outside of his house, by a river and an abandoned old building that was once a workhouse.
One day, Owen meets a strange man near the river right before witnessing a strange flash of darkness. The man, who introduces himself as the Sub-Commandant, explains to Owen that the mysterious flash signifies that a group of creatures known as the Harsh have succeeded in turning back time to before human habitation, so that they can live alone in solitude and turn the Earth to a barren, ice-encrusted waste. Owen does not believe the Sub-Commandant at first, but when he runs away to find his home, he is faced with nothing but ruins.
The Sub-Commandant brings Owen back to the Workhouse, which Owen learns is situated on an "island in time" that the Harsh cannot touch, and home to the Resisters, a rag-tag fighting force whose purpose it is to defeat the Harsh and prevent them from tampering with Earth's timeflow. Owen quickly becomes swept up in the affairs of the Resisters, who do not understand why he did not disappear along with all of the other people and signs of human life in the world. Some even suspect that he is a Harsh spy, and mistrust him. Along the way he meets with several compelling characters, including Cati, the Sub-Commandant's daughter, and Dr. Diamond, an expert in the science of time. While with the Resisters, Owen learns things about time that he can barely believe, and begins to delve into the secrets of his past and his father's connection to the strange object known as the Mortmain that will allow the Resisters to defeat the Harsh once and for all.
The concept for this book was quite inventive, and I enjoyed the author's concept of a world in which time itself is in danger from antagonistic forces. The action moved along at a good pace, and although some of the scenarios were initially confusing, the reader learns more about the situation as Owen does, and things start to fall into place, leading up to a conclusion that closes up enough loose ends to be satisfying but leaves enough new possibilities open to be interesting.
This novel is about a young boy who finds himself in a very strange situation. Owen's father committed suicide, and people around town whisper that Owen will follow in his father's footsteps. Mom has sunk into a fog of depression. In Owen's forest hideaway, there is a huge flash, and everything has changed. Geographically, Owen is in the same place, but everything, and everyone, that he knew is gone. A person called the Sub-Commandant tells Owen that a rag-tag group of humans called the Resisters are at war with ethereal beings called the Harsh. They have succeeded in causing time to run backwards. The intention of the Harsh is to go back to a time before humans, take over Earth, and turn it into a frozen wasteland. Some of the Resisters think that Owen is a spy for the Harsh, or, at minimum, a collaborator. Before he died, Owen's father played a significant part in causing the war. The only way to end the war, and to get time going in the right direction, is to bring a special piece called the Mortmain, to the Puissance, or Great Machine, far to the north. Then Owen must go down into the earth a great distance, and place the Mortmain in the right spot. Naturally, the Harsh will be waiting. Does Owen succeed? Does Own even survive? Is everything restored to the way it was? As you may have guessed, this is a young adult novel, and, as such, it is pretty good. There are good characters, and plenty of action. Older young people, and adults, will also like this book.
This is an amazing book for young boys and girls. (ages 10 to 14ish though my grandmother liked it too!). It is an easy read and it sucks you in. I read it in two or three days. I recommed this book to those who have a love of science fiction and fanticy and are just looking for something fun to read.
This is completely thrilling and it does grab you in. Although it is slow at first, you will be amazed at the beauty of this book. The detailed pictures are amazing and it's prety funny. well...actually it is really funny, becuase if it wasn't, I probably wouldn't have read in the first place. I think anyone who is into fantasy oriented worlds and hightech gadgets should at least open this book.

We have been coming to Lake George for 20+ years. Believe it is the most beautiful lake on the east coast and we vacation here every summer! Our family loves the lake in the summer and skiing in the winter.
Barry Ruditsky purchased this townhome in 2007
Ideal for 1-2 families. 2400+ square feet provides great space to relax. Stocked with all the necessities to make a vacation great including Large Flat Screen TV's, washer, driers, air conditioning - just a first class place to stay. Significant value over any hotel experience in the area.
Overall great rental. Lots of room for everyone to spread out, plenty of beds and very well accommodated. Location was key, walking distance to village, about 1 mile and 1/2 mile to beach, boats, ice cream and mini golf...a real plus having kids. Condo has all you need to include an amble supply of bedding, kitchen items and outdoor gear (fishing rods, swim toys and 2 beach chairs). Had a great time!
We had a great experience in this house. House is 5 min walking distance from million dollar beach. You can park up to 4 cars easily. Very nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay.
The property was just as described maybe even better than expected! I was so nervous about dealing with Homeaway because we had a very bad experience before but when I spoke to the homeowner before booking he assured me that I would be pleased! Thank you Barry for being an honest man! The house was in a great location just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the village but very easy to get back and forth! It was very clean and had some really nice extras! The kitchen had plenty of dishes and a good variety of pots and pans etc. I generally bring everything with me because it has been my experience that usually the stuff that is in the rental houses is not something I would use! Not the case here, very nice surprise! We had a quick question about the wifi and both the caretaker and the home owner answered us so quickly! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone . We will certainly be back next year. I have always lived Lake George and this house made it even nicer than ever!
The over all experience was wonderful. Exceeded our expectations. Now, for details (I'm always looking for "detailed" reviews, so I'll offer as much as possible). The house was CLEAN, fresh, new looking & was stocked with plenty of supplies. Lush carpeting in the majority of the house. The linen closet had racks of towels. The washer / dryer was located upstairs by the linen closet & bedrooms - excellent!. The kitchen was stocked with ample plates, cups, bowls, pots, pans, and utensils. Appliances all operated correctly. The coffee maker dial was worn preventing us from setting the timer (a VERY minor concern). All other appliances worked correctly & were easily operated. There was a living room, with large flat screen, PLUS a sitting / reading room. These were seperated by a dining room which we actually never used. The kitchen had a table set for 6 (could fit 8), plenty for our needs. Both rooms had couches large enough to sleep on & proved a perfect place to nap. The beds were wonderfully comfy! More then enough closet & dresser space. Tons of floor space in each bedroom. 3 bedrooms on the top floor. The master had a king bed, walk in closet, bathroom that contained a Jacuzzi, double sink / vanity, separate stall shower & toilet. The other 2 upstairs bedrooms: 1 with a queen bed, the other with a pyramid bunk. A full bath is on the top floor as well. Downstairs was a queen bed plus a futon. A full bath was located downstairs as well. Overall, our experience was a 9.8 on a scale of 10. To be picky: the shower heads were like 9 feet up & this little 5 ft. person struggled with chasing the high shower spray. Next, I was expecting the beach to be out the backyard. No. Million-dollar beach is out the front door, turn right at the corner & walk. Aprox. an 8-minute walk. Don't expect a grass yard. The listing doesn't mention a yard, and there is NO yard. Just a paved surface behind the houses where the driveways are. We played yard games on the pavement & had tons of fun! I'm really being picky with my "complaints" because we don't have any REAL complaints. I'm offering as much detail as possible since it's the only reference we can go on when looking for a house. Let me say, this house is great for 1 or 2 families. Easily accommodates 8 to 10 people, 11 or 12 if you have kids. The location is IN the village. Easy access to all tourist sites & attractions. Looking forward to going back again! Go & enjoy your stay, we DID!
We enjoy our stay very much at the property. The house was so clean, spacious and cozy. The house was full with toys that kept my kids busy. The house was very close to town and walk in distance to the million dollar beach. We like it very much and would love to stay again in the future.
Southeast side of the lake: Quiet and very close proximity to beach and village Found at the intersection of BEACH ROAD and RT 9L (EAST SHORE ROAD).
Steps to Million Dollar Beach, Usher Park and the Village.
East Cove and the Garrison are all within 200 yards.
Whether visiting Lake George for the great summer fun including swimming, boating, fishing, biking, white-water rafting or the thrills of thoroughbred racing at Saratoga Raceway, the breath-taking views of autumn scenery, or winter sports including skiing the challenging slopes of Gore, West and Hickory, Unit 4 at Overlook at Lake George is the perfect place to stay! We proudly make our home available to Americade and NYSFAC attendees.
Golf: Great golfing available at the Sagamore, Top of the World and other local courses.
Ski: Great skiing available at Gore, West Mountain and Hickory. Vermont Skiing areas are within 90 minutes.

HAVENS; Weekender | Candlewood Isle, Conn.
By WALECIA KONRAD
Published: September 20, 2002
CANDLEWOOD ISLE, about 10 miles from Danbury, isn't exactly the place in Connecticut to buy a weekend home if your goal is getting away from it all. From the Friday gatherings at sunset -- the children frolicking in the playground while their hovering parents catch up on the week's events over slices of pizza and plastic glasses of wine -- to the Saturday night cocktail parties on the beach to the potluck holiday dinners at the clubhouse, this association of about 750 people (about half of them second-home owners) buzzes with social activity.
''If you're a joiner, there's no end of things to do,'' said Debbie Robinson, a Manhattan resident who bought a three-bedroom home on Candlewood Isle with her husband, Jim, three years ago.
Part of the camaraderie comes from the fact that Candlewood Isle is a gated community with only 320 homes. But unlike the McMansion-lined cul de sacs that usually define gated enclaves, Candlewood Isle looks more like a small town from the 1930's -- the era when most of the area's homes and Candlewood Lake itself were built.
Connecticut Light and Power created the lake by flooding the valley between New Milford and Danbury with water from the nearby Housatonic River. The water was directed through turbines to generate electricity. Almost immediately, summer cottages sprang up around the lake, creating a New York City weekend retreat. As the years passed, residents started winterizing and staying year-round.
Until about 10 years ago, the bulk of the Isle, as its homeowners call it, was still made up of year-round residents. The pendulum has swung once again, now that a new generation of New Yorkers has discovered it. ''In the past three years we've had a flood of young families from New York looking for a weekend retreat close to the city,'' said Pat Garrison, a broker at Coldwell Banker Lake Properties on Candlewood Isle.
The Scene
As you drive through suburban and exurban Connecticut and New Fairfield, the town closest to Candlewood Isle, you reach a causeway, no longer than half a mile, that takes you across the lake and onto the Isle. On the other side you can't help but notice the trees are denser, the traffic is slower and the road is narrow and twisting. After you check in with the guard, you pass a tiny post office. Turn left and you pass the clubhouse -- a large stone building with a huge open room for events. Ahead lies the first of Candlewood's commanding hills.
The 25-square-mile Candlewood Isle is basically an enormous rock outcropping that rises straight out of the lake. Drive the main roads that circle around the island (slowly; the speed limit is 20 m.p.h.) and you'll find yourself climbing a road lined on either side with houses built into the island's steep rock bed.
There are few joggers here; it's that hilly. In fact, the slopes on the island are so steep that the waterfront homes have the equivalent of four or five flights of stone steps leading to the front door, and another few flights out the back leading to the water's edge. Three-sided views of the lake from many of the homes make the sometimes treacherous haul up and down worth the effort.
As you drive higher, the lake becomes less visible from the road. The most spectacular views can be seen only from the living rooms and decks of the houses. The canopy of trees is so thick it is possible to walk during a summer shower and not get wet.
Almost all the houses are set back from the road and have a lodgelike appearance from the dark wood and stone construction. If it weren't for the cars, you'd swear you had gone back in time.
Location, location, location. Candlewood Isle has plenty going for it, but its proximity to New York City is at the top of the list. If you don't hit rush-hour traffic, you can get to Candlewood Isle from Manhattan in an hour and a half. (Add as much as an hour during the rush.)
Once there, you're immediately confronted with Candlewood's other distinct advantage -- the 5,400-acre lake, Connecticut's largest.
In summer, life revolves around the beach, with a day camp for children, lifeguards and a separate swimming area for children. There are more than 6,000 boats docked or moored on the lake, and almost every waterfront home has a dock.
In winter, the lake gets almost as much use as in summer. Iceboating, ice fishing, skating, sledding and walks across the ice are all weekend pursuits when the temperatures drop below freezing.
Whether walking the hills of Candlewood Isle or playing a set of tennis, you feel as if you're in a resort instead of a neighborhood.
Homeowners pay an association tax equal to 3.5 percent of a property's assessed value. The tax pays for road maintenance and a range of amenities, including full access to the island's basketball court, playground, beach, swimming area and, most appealing (or not, depending on your point of view), the clubhouse and all its social activities.
The tax also helps subsidize other extras. Use of the three tennis courts near the guardhouse costs $85 a year for homeowners. (For islanders who don't want to pay extra, a single court near the clubhouse is free.) A boat slip at the island's small marina costs $250 a year compared with $1,500 for one just off the island. (One caveat: with a waiting list of 20 or so people it may take years to get a slip.)

Released: Feb 25th, 2010
Running Time: 150 Min.
Director: Nicholas Steele
Companies: Private U.S.A., Bluebird Films, Pure Paige Productions
Distribution Companies: Pure Play Media
DVD Extras: Alternate Languages, Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s), Widescreen

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
DJ Jerry Byrne has set a contest up to win a date with him. His number-one fan is a deranged psycho who wants to fuck and kill him. When she doesn't win the contest, one by one she fucks and kills the competition. Her history of mental abuse has led her to the breaking point. Can anyone stop her?
British beauty Paige Ashley's Pure Paige Productions takes its stylish first step with a thriller directed by Bluebird Films CEO Nicholas Steele and penned by Bluebird honcho Paul Chaplin. Like its namesake, the 1971 Clint Eastwood thriller, the focus is on a disc jockey's obsessive fan, though the setting has been moved south, from Carmel to Los Angeles.
When psych patient Ashley doesn't win a date with her favorite DJ, she embarks on a murderous rampage in which she dispatches her victims while they're in a postcoital haze, beginning first in the psych ward after a threesome with her doctor (Tony DeSergio) and a nurse (Cindy Behr).
Soon she's also rubbed out grocery store employees Madelyn Marie and Anthony Rosano, caught off guard while literally fucking around at work. Then she knocks off prostitute-pimp team Zoe Holloway and Nick Manning before going head to head with homicide cop Tommy Gunn and Brooke Belle, her top rival for DJ Charles Dera's affection.
The pretty, big-titted Ashley is in almost every scene, making her bid for sexual stardom in a variety of positions and sexual combinations. And though the song that plays throughout is not the tune Johnny Mathis made famous, the moody soundtrack complements the action well.

DuPont May Have Licensed Technology to Samsung, Consultant Says
DuPont Co. may have licensed its technology for making televisions with organic light emitting diodes, or OLEDs, to South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. or LG Electronics Inc., an industry consultant said.
DuPont, the most valuable U.S. chemical maker, signed the first license for its active matrix OLED technology to an Asian television maker, David B. Miller, president of the Wilmington, Delaware company's electronics unit, said today. The technology uses a nozzle to print OLEDs on glass, reducing costs compared with other methods, he said in an interview.
Samsung, the top producer of OLED displays, needs new technology as it makes larger models for televisions, Jennifer Colegrove, vice president of emerging display technologies at Display Search, said in a telephone interview from Santa Clara, California. LG requires OLED technology to compete with Samsung and fulfill its plan to bring a 55-inch OLED television to market in 2012, she said.
DuPont plans to license its technology to more electronics makers and also to sell proprietary OLED materials, Miller said. The company is working with General Electric Co. on developing OLEDs that can be painted onto a wall or other surfaces for lighting, he said.

What we pass on to the next generation is perhaps our most important and fulfilling duty. Because of this, questions about the structure of our educational institutions and how they interact with our moral institutions are often the most contentious. How do we pass on our morals and beliefs while allowing for religious freedom and unbiased learning? Does God belong in school? How do institutions of higher learning—our colleges and universities—balance an academic standard with our traditions?
As students head off to school what are the major ethical and moral concerns they will face in their day? Does religion serve us in our educational pursuits? Here Patheos evaluates the intersection of scholarship and belief.

PuzzleFest kicks into high gear at Mills River Presbyterian
Published: Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:38 p.m.
MILLS RIVER — Judy Andersen and her husband, Bob, of Etowah, studied the 1,000 pieces of a jigsaw puzzle laid out on the table in front of them Saturday at Mills River Presbyterian Church.
"Look at the picture," Judy Andersen said, as a first step to successful puzzle building. "Find the edges. Then, we sort for color."
It's PuzzleFest time at the church, and church members and the public are already busy sorting through this year's 10,000 pieces.
"It's 10 puzzles in 10 days at 1,000 pieces each," said Kathy Ziprik, organizer of the event. This is the third year for the event, which began with church members and the community constructing a 24,000-piece puzzle.
"Last year, we did an 18,000-piece puzzle, which is hanging inside the new town hall," Ziprik said.
The Andersens were working on the Christmas Mailbox puzzle with a lot of black in its background and snowflakes, making it one of the more difficult of the 10 puzzles. The pair steadily found pieces and snapped them together, slowly building the image on the table.
"It's a relaxing thing," Judy Andersen said.
Bob Andersen said they almost always have a puzzle out on a table at their home.
"In our case, it used to be a family thing during the holidays," Bob Andersen said. "We'd sit and puzzle for a while."
Judy Owens of Etowah also enjoys puzzles. She takes photos of the ones she completes and puts them into an album. She finds the activity to be very relaxing.
"This is cheaper than seeing a psychiatrist," Owens said with a laugh. "I hear this is also good for your brain too."
In conjunction with PuzzleFest, the church is collecting pants — men's, women's and children's — during the "Drop Your Pants" clothing drive until the end of January. Already, the church has collected about 200 pairs of pants, though Ziprik expects up to 500 pairs to be brought in. The clothing will be donated to Interfaith Assistance Ministry.
For more information, call the church at 828-891-7101. Mills River Presbyterian Church is at 10 Presbyterian Church Road in Mills River (off of School House Road).
Reach Goodman at 828-694-7867 or email@example.com.

Mr Letts (38) grew up in Mosgiel, went to Taieri College and
played for the local football team.
He went on to get his Bachelor of Physiotherapy and
postgraduate diploma in sports medicine at the University of
After practising physiotherapy in Dunedin for a few years, he
moved to Invercargill where he became the physiotherapist for
the Southland Stags rugby team.
But when his eldest child was ready for school, the family
decided to move back to Mosgiel.
He opened his own practice, Sports Med Mosgiel Physiotherapy
in 2010, operating out of the town's Olympic Gym, but a year
ago moved next door to his own premises.
Enjoying the community focus of the town, the business
supported the town's rugby, football and cricket clubs as
well as Taieri College.
He had continued his sports focus with a role as
physiotherapist for the Highlanders rugby team.
It was a role he was able to fill thanks to the support of
his staff who were equipped to handle a variety of
musculoskeletal injuries and with a new physiotherapist with
a background in women's health, particularly around
pregnancy, he said.
''The aim is, if you get an injury, is to get it treated and
rehabilitated so it does not become a chronic problem,'' Mr
Lett said.

GNU FDL Version 1.3 Improves Compatibility
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has released version 1.3 of its GNU Free Documentation License improving compatibility with certain Creative Commons licenses.
With the revision GNU FDL 1.3 licensed material can be relicensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) version 3.0 license. The license conditions require attributions to the author and/or licensor and that any modifications made to the product remain under the same or another compatible license.
Changes to the license can be traced back to a query from the Wikimedia Foundation, with its many Wikipedia publications in numerous languages, probably the largest user of the FDL. Brett Smith, responsible for license adherence at Wikimedia explains the problem:"Wikis often import material from a wide variety of sources, many of which use the CC-BY-SA license. Wikipedia, however, uses the GNU FDL. The incompatibility between these two licenses has been an obstacle to moving material back and forth between these sites. The new provision of FDL version 1.3 will give Wikipedia and other wikis another chance to choose the licensing policies they prefer."
The Wikipedia Foundation will be discussing the relicensing of content under the Creative Commons License in the near future. In his blog, Creative Commons Founder Larry Lessig welcomes the move: "A fundamental flaw in the Free Culture Movement to date is that its most important element -- Wikipedia -- is licensed in a way that makes it incompatible with an enormous range of other content in the Free Culture Movement."
The GNU FDL basically remains a license for software handbooks. The complete text to the license and a FAQ list for version 1.3 can be viewed at the GNU Project website.
The FSF is also working on version FDL 2.0, which should bring even more significant changes. The organization invites discussion and comments of the pros and cons of version 3.0 of the software license GPL on the GPLv3 website.

This guy is nothing more than a gossip columnist.Check out the other private prison boards. CRN, CXW ,and this one WHC. He repeats anything he can dig up.He must be a ex con. I have eaten on a regular basisin the Kitchens of Both WHC and CXW. Have not had achance at CRN yet. All are as good or better than we thetaxpayers feed your kids in school.The inmates foodhave to be a certain temp. A certain portion as wellas a certain caloric count. The prisons go as far todouble the portions of inmates with certain medicalconditions.As far as the beatings, every time they plan a useof force on a inmate to enforce the rules, and therules read as set forth by the courts. Force may beused to enforce the rules of a penal institution,prevent in a escape, to prevent bodily harm to a residentor employee or to prevent property destruction. Itis always video taped. There are cameras in everyhousing unit with plenty of batteries and tapes. Yes thegaurds have to use force from time to time, these peoplewere not locked up for singing to loud in the churchchoir. MCPRISON I URGE YOU ON THIS BOARD LIKE I HAVE ONTHE CXW , AND CRN BOARD GET EDUCATED, GET A LIFE, ANDONCE AGAIN IF YOU ARE GOING TO REPOST THIS STUFF ATLEAST KNOW WHAT THE HE?? YOUR TALKING ABOUT. YOU EITHERHAVE BEEN FIRED FROM A PRISON, YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY ISLOCKED UP IN ONE, OR AND I THINK THIS MIGHT BE THE ONEYOUR ARE JANET RENOS BROTHER.
aw0099:Many on the boards you havementioned have come to that conclusion a long time ago.Mcprison is a union hack, scared spitless of the privatesector. It is amusing to me that any negative news aboutthe private sector in immediately posted by him onthese boards. Occasionally, he post something of aminor nature, as a token gesture, regarding the publicsector. I worked the public sector for 32 yearsand the private sector for 10 years. Nothinghas happend in the private sector that hasn't happendmany times over in the public sector.When ithappens in the public sector it does not get front pagenews space because generally the public views mostcivil servants as unable to hack it in the privatesector because they have civil service protection andunion advocacy no matter how poor a job they do.If Mcprison began posting the daily problems thathappen in public prisons on these boards, the unionwould have to pay him overtime because of the excessivetime he would have to do so in order to complete thedaily task.He is nothing more than a scaredcivil servent afraid of the competition of the privatesector.He and his union cohorts know that private prisonare here to stay. Must be galling and threatening tohim and his peers in the publicsector.Mcprison, there is a passage in the scriptures that says,"Am I therefore your enemy because I tell you thetruth?" I hope you don't look upon me as an enemy bytelling you the truth from the standpoint of havingworked in both sectors.Dick
Amen brother, I don't have your exp. but i havelimited exp. in the public sector and approx. 10 in theprivate one. There are good and bad on both sides. I amglad more people are calling for accountability onboth sides. There is enough room for us all. I willsay that the private can match up facility forfacility any day of the week. Suprisingly all of my oldfriends that are state officials will tell you that aswell off the record. But thanks again for speaking up.Mcprison you have been exposed for what you are onceagain.Thanks dmillwee
McPrisionkeep,.... them post comming guy, since your two last post we are up both days ...atta boy!!!.....(smiles).
