Short List of Titles for Consideration
Last year, our community came together to read, discuss, and celebrate Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." We hope you loved it as much as we did!
Since we chose a classic last year, we decided that we wanted to do a contemporary book this year. We began by asking the entire staff of the library and the members of the library's Adult Book Group to submit suggestions for recent titles that were appropriate for readers down to the high school level, and would lend themselves to discussion and programming. There were many fantastic suggestions, including fiction, non-fiction, and books appropriate for adults, teens, and children! A panel of 9 librarians ranked the suggestions we received, and from those rankings we arrived at a "short list" of 5 titles.
Here's where you come in: we want members of the community to vote for the book they'd most like to see as our "One Book, One Watertown" selection. This is your chance to make your voice heard. Below are brief descriptions of the books. Once you read through the suggestions, you can pop over to the home page of our Website and VOTE in the One Book, One Watertown poll.
If you want more information, or reviews of the books, check our library's online catalog at http://library.minlib.net/search/ or check the listings at Amazon at www.amazon.com.
For your consideration:
Age of Miracles (Karen Thompson Walker, 2012)
"Quietly explosive … Walker describes global shifts with a sense of
utter realism, but she treats Julia's personal adolescent upheaval
with equal care, delicacy, and poignancy."—O, The Oprah Magazine
"With a voice as distinctive and original as that of The Lovely Bones, and for the fans of the speculative fiction of Margaret Atwood, Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles is a luminous, haunting, and unforgettable debut novel about coming of age set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world.
"It still amazes me how little we really knew. . . . Maybe everything that happened to me and my family had nothing at all to do with the slowing. It's possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much."
On a seemingly ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia and her family awake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. The days and nights grow longer and longer, gravity is affected, the environment is thrown into disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also coping with the normal disasters of everyday life—the fissures in her parents' marriage, the loss of old friends, the hopeful anguish of first love, the bizarre behavior of her grandfather who, convinced of a government conspiracy, spends his days obsessively cataloging his possessions. As Julia adjusts to the new normal, the slowing inexorably continues." [product description from Amazon.com]
The Art Forger (B.A. Shapiro, 2012)
"Precise and exciting . . . Readers seeking an engaging novel about artists
and art scandals will find "The Art Forger" rewarding for its skillful
balance of brisk plotting, significant emotional depth and a multi-layered
narration rich with a sense of moral consequence."—The Washington Post
"On March 18, 1990, thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history, and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist, is about to discover that there's more to this crime than meets the eye.
Claire makes her living reproducing famous works of art for a popular online retailer. Desperate to improve her situation, she lets herself be lured into a Faustian bargain with Aiden Markel, a powerful gallery owner. She agrees to forge a painting—one of the Degas masterpieces stolen from the Gardner Museum—in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But when the long-missing Degas painting—the one that had been hanging for one hundred years at the Gardner—is delivered to Claire's studio, she begins to suspect that it may itself be a forgery.
Claire's search for the truth about the painting's origins leads her into a labyrinth of deceit where secrets hidden since the late nineteenth century may be the only evidence that can now save her life. B. A. Shapiro's razor-sharp writing and rich plot twists make The Art Forger an absorbing literary thriller that treats us to three centuries of forgers, art thieves, and obsessive collectors. it's a dazzling novel about seeing—and not seeing—the secrets that lie beneath the canvas." [product description from Amazon.com]
The Book Thief (Markus Zuzak, 2007)
"Exquisitely written and memorably populated, Zusak's poignant tribute
to words, survival, and their curiously inevitable entwinement is a tour de
force to be not just read but inhabited."—The Horn Book Magazine
"It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul." [product description from Amazon.com]
[This title appropriate for ages 12 and up.]
Wonder (R.J. Palacio, 2012)
"What makes R.J. Palacio's debut novel so remarkable, and so lovely,
is the uncommon generosity with which she tells Auggie's story…The
result is a beautiful, funny and sometimes sob-making story of quiet
transformation."—The Wall Street Journal
"August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. Wonder … begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out." [product description from Amazon.com]
[This title appropriate for ages 8 and up.]
WOOL (Hugh Howey, 2012)
"Howey's WOOL is an epic feat of imagination. You will
live in this world." — Justin Cronin, bestselling author of The Passage
"This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside." [product description from the original WOOL Omnibus cover]
Hugh Howey's WOOL Omnibus (five original WOOL stories released serially, and collected here into a whole) was the best reviewed book on Amazon in 2012. Following the immense success of this self-published work, Simon and Schuster has purchased the rights to release the book in the US, rights have been acquired to publish in 22 countries, and WOOL has been optioned for a film by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien, Gladiator) and Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List, Moneyball).

View More Features and Specifications
The RDX has proved to be a hot seller for Acura, and for good reason. It's small but refined alternative to mid-size luxury models like the Lexus RX or Cadillac SRX. The RDX's simplified model lineup and rich list of standard features also means that buyers get a well-equipped luxury vehicle that has a lower price tag than many other well-equipped models. Among the changes for 2016 include improved power and fuel economy, the front-wheel drive RDX is now rated to be capable of up to 29 mpg on the highway.
Compare the 2016 Acura RDX against similar models
The 2016 RDX gets the "Jewel Eye" LED head and taillight setup. Revisions to the standard 3.5L V6 makes it more efficient. Heated seats are added as standard equipment. The Tech package now includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic monitoring.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Acura RDX. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Acura RDX. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Acura RDX is a smooth and sophisticated compact crossover with the latest technology. It comes with a smooth 3.5-liter V6 that makes 279-hp and 252 lb-ft of torque, coupled to a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
The RDX competes with the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, BMW X3.
One of the changes for 2016 is a small increase to the horsepower and torque. The nose and tail have also been tweaked. Inside, heated front seats and climate vents in the rear are now standard.
The EPA fuel mileage is 20/29/23 mpg City/Highway/Combined; with all-wheel drive it's 22 mpg Combined. And that's on Premium fuel. Here it loses big to the Volvo XC60, whose turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivers 26 mpg Combined and runs fine on Regular. In the RDX, three of the six cylinders shut down to improve fuel mileage when not needed, and fire back up when they are. The driver can't feel or hear any of this.
The RDX feels like a boxy Acura sedan. Its tidy size and nimble response make it maneuverable in tight spaces and easy to park. Its balance in the curves makes it enjoyable to drive on winding two-lanes. It handles more lightly and less sporty than a BMW or Audi.
AWD with Intelligent Control is what Acura calls its all-wheel-drive system. It's been tuned in 2016 to increase the power to the rear wheels, making the RDX feel and behave a bit more like a rear-wheel-drive car under acceleration. With 2WD, traction control is standard.
Six airbags are standard, along with a rearview camera. Safety ratings for the 2015 RDX are excellent (2016 not done yet), with five stars from NHTSA and Top Safety Pick + from IIHS.
The front-wheel-drive RDX retails for $35,270 MSRP, and with AWD Intelligent Control it's only $1500 more. Tech Packages for each model raise the price another $3700.
For 2016, Acura RDX gets a new front and rear end. The headlamps dazzle, a row of five LEDs like a string of diamonds. A new fascia underlines the emphatic angular grille, which kind of looks like a beak, better on the Acura SUVs than the sedans. At the rear, new LED taillamps are a light-pipe design.
The roofline is low and arched. Muscular fender arches around new-for-2016 wheels enhance the attractive profile.
The RDX shares its structure with the Honda CR-V, making it a five-seat compact. The front seats are comfortable, with eight-way adjustment and a tilt-telescope steering wheel so six-footers are fine. But in the back, three people get crowded, even if they're small. Two adults in front and two kids or teenagers in back is optimum comfortable seating. Still, the RDX has nearly two more inches of rear legroom than the Volvo XC60.
The instrument panel offers both form and function, with controls that are easy to find and use. Soft-touch materials and matte surfaces make it upscale, despite too many bright bits. The controls are canted a bit toward the driver but don't crowd him or her. There's good storage space in various bins, including slots for 23 CDs in the center console, as well as the perfect shelf for a phone and nearby slot for charging.
The rear seats don't fold flat, but there's 61 cubic feet of cargo space when they're down (BMW X3 has 63), and the cargo floor is low in the rear. Under that floor, there's another 15 cubic feet, and that's a lot.
The six horsepower increase in the smooth V6 is fine, but a bigger improvement to the engine is the broadening of the torque range. This makes it more responsive at almost all engine speeds, especially improving drivability around town. Its quickness from 40 to 70 mph makes passing on two-lane roads secure, while the torque keeps the transmission from having to downshift.
The RDX is pleasant to drive on winding roads. It's quite refined, with new active rear and front engine mounts, updates to the steering control system and increased suspension mount stiffness, all reducing vibration and jolts on rough roads.
The Acura RDX is a premium vehicle with a smooth and powerful V6 whose downside is that it rates EPA-estimated 23 mpg Combined and needs Premium gasoline. It has nimble handling, a solid ride, strong safety results, and a classy cabin with good cargo space.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

The Chargers might have lost their No. 1 and No. 2 wide receivers in less than a week. Six days after Danario Alexander was lost for the year with a torn right ACL, the Chargers "fear" that the exact same injury struck wide receiver Malcom Floyd on Monday. That report comes from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Floyd went down during the day's practice and reportedly stayed down for several minutes before his teammates huddled around him in prayer. Floyd was then carted off the field. Schefter also reports that Floyd is undergoing an MRI tonight; his status should be confirmed soon.
Fantasy Analysis:
Holy moly. As much as I love Vincent Brown this year, I don't think anyone is ready, including Brown probably, for him to be Philip Rivers' top wide receiver this year. But with Floyd apparently down for the count, the Chargers' top wide receivers are Brown, rookie Keenan Allen , Robert Meachem (!!!!), and Eddie Royal. Just because of presumed opportunity, I think you have to bump up the draft stocks of Brown, Allen, and tight end Antonio Gates . But the Chargers' passing game will be much easier to defend without Alexander and Floyd stretching the field. I want nothing to do with Rivers right now. And much like when the Eagles lost Jeremy Maclin, and the Ravens lost Dennis Pitta, these injuries for San Diego could mean more receptions for a running back. Not Ryan Mathews, but Danny Woodhead , specifically.

NEW YORK - Federal authorities in New York say they've brought criminal charges against three people in connection with a computer virus that infected more than a million computers worldwide.
The authorities said Wednesday that NASA computers were among those infected by what was labeled the "Gozi Virus."
Authorities say they believe the three people who are charged created and distributed the virus.
It caused millions of dollars in losses by stealing online banking credentials, among other things.
A news conference on the charges was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in New York.

Before 1923 each Australian state had its own office for keeping government records, including immigration records and passenger lists. There's a great list of these various archival bodies available online. Please note, if your ancestor arrived in Victoria prior to 1852, when Victoria was governed by New South Wales, these records are actually held by State Records of News South Wales!
Information and advice about immigrating to Australia can be found at the website of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. We encourage you to explore their very detailed and up-to-date site.
Hi Jasmine, the list above is a list of resources that are available in the Immigration Discovery Centre. We are open from 10am until 4.30pm, 7 days a week, and the friendly staff and volunteers are more than willing to assist you with finding these books. And on the right hand side you will also find a number of useful links, many of which will assist you with your research.
Hi Tori,The oldest bricks ever discovered date from before 7500 BC, so they have certainly been used in house-building for a long time! In the 12th century a type of brick architecture called Brick Gothic was popular in parts of Northern Germany. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
There is evidence for the existence of chicken on the European continent as far back as the 6th century BC. You can read more about the history of chicken at the following two websites, History for Kids and Food Timeline.

(Sept. 11, 2012) The Government of Sri Lanka is planning to revise the country's 2006 immigration law, with the goal of curtailing illegal smuggling of migrants. A draft law has been prepared based on the recommendations of a committee made up of members from the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the office of the Attorney General. (Sri Lanka Tighten [sic] Laws to Curtail Human Smuggling, COLOMBO PAGE (Sept. 1, 2012); Immigrants and Emigrants (Amendment) Act, No. 31 of 2006 (Sept. 26, 2006), available at REFWORLD.)
Among the changes contemplated are enhanced punishments for human smugglers, but not for the illegal migrants themselves. Those convicted of profiting from exploiting migrants will lose their assets and be subject to terms of imprisonment of up to 20 years (Sri Lanka Tighten [sic] Laws to Curtail Human Smuggling, supra), a big increase from the current penalty of one to five years (Immigrants and Emigrants (Amendment) Act, art. 3).
Chulananda Perera, the Controller of Immigration and Emigration, said of the planned revision, "[w]e have proposed [the] maximum possible punishment to those who have made human smuggling a business while risking the lives of thousands of unsuspecting victims. We have to take a sympathetic view on the victims and will not increase the existing prison term of three months where they are concerned." (Sri Lanka Tighten [sic] Laws to Curtail Human Smuggling, supra.)
Many illegal migrants leave Sri Lanka to head for Australia; on September 7, for example, 58 people were arrested by the Sri Lankan navy bound for Australia from the eastern shore of Sri Lanka. (Sri Lanka Navy Arrests 58 Illegal Migrants Heading to Australia, COLOMBO PAGE (Sept. 7, 2012).) In the month of July 2012 alone, 530 individuals were stopped by Sri Lankan authorities as they attempted to illegally migrate to Australia. (Sri Lanka to Tighten Migration Laws to Reduce Asylum Seekers, ENGLISH.NEWS.CN (Aug. 13, 2012).) Among the approximately 6,000 detainees in Australia who are seeking asylum, about 1,000 are from Sri Lanka. (Sri Lanka Tighten [sic] Laws to Curtail Human Smuggling, supra.) The Sri Lankan government will seek the cooperation of Australia, as well as Canada, the European Union, and the United States, in implementing the new legislation. (Id.)

Anyone ever heard or Springtomize??? And it's been working since evasi0n release w many more add ons included. This makes no sense to me. I'm sorry I just don't know why anyone would buy this when you can get a tweak that includes all this and much much more for only a couple extra pennies.
I'll say it again n hopefully people listen. If u have iOS 4x-6x whatever just download Springtomize. You will get so much more bang for your buck.

Tim McGraw calls Taylor Swift & Keith Urban ACM collaboration a 'big highlight'
Listen to Tim McGraw on iHeartRadio | Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Tim McGraw says one of his highlights of 2013 was his Academy of Country Music Awards performance. He teamed up with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban to perform their collaborative hit "Highway Don't Care" at the April event.
Tim tells "CMT Top 20 Countdown" it's always special to work with other stars, because "there's only so many times you get to do that in your career." He adds that he believes he, Taylor and Keith turned in a great performance.
But McGraw isn't just mulling over the past. He's working on his next album, and already looking ahead to his 2014 tour. The singer says he really enjoys "building a new stage," which is difficult but fun. Tim explains that at this point in his career it's "a big challenge" to "come up with something different," and it's "always exciting" to put together a new show.

Forums → Ten Forward → Technical question - HIDDENCAT (reply • watch)
This forum discussion has been archived
This forum discussion has been archived and should not be added to. Please visit the Forums to begin a new topic in the relevant location.
Quick technical question - the magic word HIDDENCAT can be used to place a category on a page without it appearing in the category listing at the bottom. Can you still access that category generally, i.e. does it have a page in the Category: namespace? Do we use HIDDENCAT anywhere currently? I am thinking of a way to group the articles based on the new film together for ease of browsing using HIDDENCAT. -- Michael Warren | Talk 07:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you can. As a test, I just added the magic word to the category containing this page - Category:Ten Forward. As you can see, there's no longer a categorization on this page, while the category page itself is still accessible as before.
- Feel free to revert that test - although I think it might even make sense to not show that category here... -- Cid Highwind 14:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, excellent. Oddly, I took it to operate on the article page, rather than the category page, but the latter makes much more sense, now that I think about it. My plan may go forward, then... -- Michael Warren | Talk 15:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Remember the innocent lure of River City in that classic movie The Music Man? Then you can imagine Smithfield, Virginia. This small town on the brackish Pagan River drums up the same finger-snapping community spirit. "Memorial Day to Labor Day, people gather at free Friday night concerts on the grass outside The Smithfield Times," says Rick Bodson, who moved here three years ago. "Everyone brings a picnic supper, and at intermission we all head to the ice-cream shop." His wife, Brenda Joyner, chimes in about the camaraderie: "You can practically stop cooking here," she says. "There are barbecue dinners, fish fries, baked-potato suppers, wine-tastings―something all the time to make money for a cause."
As Rick and Brenda saunter down Main Street, acquaintances appear as if on cue. With one passerby, Rick confirms tomorrow's time for sailing. There's a friend Brenda knows through her Master Gardener program and another from the Cultural Arts Center. "Hey y'all" rings out from fellow Relay for Life volunteers. In 2004, Smithfield ranked fifth in its population group for U.S. contributions to that cancer-research fund. "This county isn't rich," says Rick. "It's just folks digging deep into their pockets."
John Edwards, editor/publisher of The Smithfield Times, describes how the "digging" goes. Overhauling Main Street, he says, required townspeople to match a private grant. "One homeowner told me, 'If you said it's for economic development, I would have thrown you out. But for beautifying our hometown, I'll give.'"
Main Street's resulting brick sidewalks and fresh storefronts testify to generous donations. As a civic benefactor, Smithfield Foods Inc. leads among businesses. Founded in 1936 by the still-prominent Luter family, the pork producer tallied $11.4 billion in sales last year and remains committed to Smithfield.
Newcomers such as Rick and Brenda, who spent 25 years in big-city corporations, share Smithfield's optimism. John Edwards says people like them "give new manpower, organizational skills, computer technology, and personnel management to our activities." They also bring respect for this place's past. The 17th-century settlement grew up here "because it was a safe harbor," says Brenda. It still is, she adds. "Rick and I moved to Smithfield to be part of a real community."

you can use unetbootin creates a bootable usb disk for u to find it just search it on google and itll be the first one
Hello all,
well after years of hearing my friends say I should check out linux, I looked into and found something that interested me, which was the backtrack OS. I have never used linux, and I have downloaded the backtrack 4 beta version. I have a laptop that I'm sure meets the minimum requirements, it's a Acer Aspire One. I got windows xp on this, but from what I have read, I should be able to make a bootable usb device to run the linux OS on.
Wel to my frist question, where do I start reading to learn how to install onto a usb device, and configue it to work with my wireless card/wired connection for this laptop
second question:with the display on the Aspire One, will it work correctly with back track 4 beta, or do I need to find another laptop for use?
And the last question, where do I look for learning on how to use linux, from what I've seen, it reminds me of dos commands... and I know you can customize the hell out of it.
you can use unetbootin creates a bootable usb disk for u to find it just search it on google and itll be the first one
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I have always thought RedHat/Fedora to be fairly easy to use and get use to for new-to-linux users.
BackTrack is meant for mainly for IT security personnel to use in pentests, Security Audits, etcs. And being that you are trying the beta you are destined to run into many issues.
Since you are 100% new the first thing we should point out to you is that linux comes in many flavors (distros). Knoppix, Fedora/RedHat, Ubuntu, Slax, SUSE, Mandrake, etc. I would do some research on some of them, and stay away from asking which one you should use because you will get mixed and bias answers no matter what forum you ask on.
Most all these distros have what is called a LiveCD version, which is a bootable CD (you can make it a bootable USB by using the tool mentioned by skitt). This liveCD will allow you to boot to the OS without a HDD install. Few things to note about this....1.) You can't retain changes most of the time without some tweaks (use google to find out what needs done for whatever flavor you pick) 2.) Be careful to not destroy your Windows install, as being new to 'nix and playing around that is a possibility.
Sorry if I broke that down too much but you said you were new
I don't want to discourage you from learning Linux, but like the other posters here have mentioned, Backtrack might not be for you yet. If you are really new (and you are) you will probably have a much better time with Ubuntu, or if you plan on working in the IT industry, Red Hat.
Backtrack is great - if you use it for what it was designed for. I use it for pentesting my customers networks, I don't use it as a regular OS otherwise. I have a MythBuntu server (a TV recording specialized version of Linux) that handles all my TV watching needs. I use Red Hat Enterprise at work... I use a customized version of Linux for managing phone calls as well. See, each version of Linux I use for a different task. There is no "right" answer for the type of Linux you use.
However, as you have mentioned, you are brand new. Thus, I would recommend Ubuntu with the hardware you have.
Because you are new. You have lots to learn, and many of the things you probably want to try out you can do with Ubuntu. Plus, it is much easier to use for a beginner, and there is more support. I am not telling you straight out to give up on Backtrack, rather I am saying you might want to learn Ubuntu first, and then take a look at Backtrack after you are more experienced. You will get more out of it, and be far less frustrated.
BTW, welcome to Linux, and I hope you like it.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Mr. Flibble thanks for being the voice of reason!
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Hello and welcome sed8ted28.
As for taking your first steps with Linux you should consider using a virtual machine (either Vmware or the free VirtualBox).
You won't risk to mess your current OS up and be all angry about Linux that your machine isn't working anymore.
As recommended before you should get Ubuntu first. Install it on your virtual machine and play around with it. Read up on command line usage, since that is where the real fun begins If you hit a wall let me know, I will help you out.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
You've got the right attitude...I hope you are ready for lots of reading, practice and frustration (I don't mean that in a bad way...learning by mistake is a powerful method)
As posted by others, either a Virual Image or a Live CD would be the preferable method for you to start with, since these make it very difficult for you to permanently screw something up.
You are correct in your impression that unix commands are similar to DOS commands. Learning how to do things from the linux command line, IMHO, is the best way to learn linux. The command line tools are generally the same throughout most distros (some exceptions of course), so if you learn the command line, you can, at the very least, muddle your way through any nix distro.
HERE is a link that has a ton of command line cheat sheets that you may want to print out for reference. I also recommend that you take a look at the Linux in a Nutshell book from O'Reilly.
Google will be your friend as you move forward in your quest for knowledge.
I wish you luck...
I would suggest you to use a tool named Wubi (only type wubi in somewhere...)
that thing installs you the very usefriendly Ubuntu under Windows (its a exe) without a need to format the disk drives or know anything. it uses the Windows bootloader so it wont do something like deleting win out of the mbr (master boot record (or at least i think so) you can choose if you want to start linux or Windows on startup
I made my first steps this way. Its realy idiot proof

Single Mum
Hi. I'm a single mum. I'm in a dilemma, if I should have the father be involved. I don't want him to do anything with me. But I also feel like I'm depriving my boy. My little boy is 2 years old now. So far my boy is doing good. But when he asks for his dad, I don't know what to tell him.

Hi Nutz,
Welcome to the forum! I look forward to sharing our parenting stories on here.
I'm happy to read that your son is doing well. I also have a two year old boy - he is full of energy and absolutely wonderful.
Many studies have shown that children do better in all areas of their life when they know, and feel loved by, both parents. I say this without belittling the fantastic, and hard, work single parents do. Studies released in May this year now show that children who are parented by both of their parents develop more brain cells.
The long term emotional benefits to a child having a relationship with both their mum and their dad are huge. I understand that it is difficult when you are not on good terms with your son's father. However, I have a number of single mum friends who are able to put these difficult, painful feeling aside for the sake of their children having a good relationship with their dad.
What does your son's father feel?
Would you able to able to explain using your son's toys that his dad loves him even though he does not live with him anymore?
Try not to feel guilty. I know that is easier said than done but you are doing a great job as a single mum. Are there any support groups for single parents near you? These can provide invaluable additional support as well as friendship.
Best wishes,
