BALIK PULAU: Although the case of lodging a false missing person's report about her dead daughter is now behind her, former sales executive Jess Teh Hooi Wen, 30, still has to face two drug trials at the magistrate's courts this year.
The always fashionable Teh turned up at the magistrate's court here alone at 9.05am yesterday for the mention of one of her cases.
She walked past pressmen in her usual unapproachable manner, with a scowl and in a black T-shirt with the words "Don't ask why" printed on it.
Yesterday, magistrate Tengku Shahrizam Tuan Lah fixed June 22 to hear her trial for allegedly consuming methamphetamine at the Bayan Lepas police station at 1.30am on July 9, 2007.
On Nov 28 last year, Teh was ordered by the same court to be bound over in the sum of RM1,000 for three years after she pleaded guilty to lodging a false missing person's report about Shearwel Ooi Ying Ying at the Bayan Lepas police station at 10.30am on July 6, 2007, when the three-year-old had actually died.
Teh is also facing trial for alleged possession of 0.79gm of cannabis in an apartment in Bandar Baru Air Itam, at 6.30pm on July 17, 2007.
That case has been fixed for hearing on May 11 at a magistrate's court in George Town.

The Quinn administration says it will repair 2,300 miles of road and 500 bridges over the next six years as it uses the last dollars from a massive public-works program.
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced the latest update to its road plan Monday. It calls for spending $9.2 billion by the year 2018.
That includes the last of the money from Illinois Jobs Now, a plan approved three years ago to pump money into construction projects and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Construction work could decline sharply when the program ends.

The City of Lawrence is facing a current fiscal year operating budget deficit of approximately $9.5 million and a capital project deficit of $8 million. Lawrence is also facing a projected budget gap in Fiscal Year 2011. The City will be unable to resolve these budget deficits without the authority to borrow, which officials are unable to do under current law. Without state action, the City of Lawrence will be unable to continue to fund critical city operations as early as this spring.
"This is a responsible way to help the Lawrence community get back on its feet," said Governor Patrick. "Through support and strong oversight, this bill can put Lawrence on a course toward long-term and lasting fiscal stability."
"This bill provides the new Mayor and City Council time and tools to repair Lawrence's budget. There is a lot of hard work that needs to be done. This bill creates the framework for a strong partnership at the City and State level to ensure Lawrence's financial stability for the future," said State Senator Susan Tucker.
"This is a step forward in the right direction for the City," said Representative Barry Finegold.
"I appreciate Governor Patrick for his leadership and efforts to put Lawrence on strong financial footing," said Mayor-Elect William Lantigua. "I look forward to continue to working with him and all of our partners to bring the City's budget into balance and to make our community strong for today and tomorrow."
The comprehensive legislation filed today requires the City to meet certain conditions to get back on a path to responsible budgeting and to avoid the need for the state to implement a control board in Lawrence.
Specifically, the legislation allows the City to borrow into deficit up to $35 million to balance its FY10 and FY11 budgets, allowing it to generate a steady cash flow, and to meet payroll and other commitments. The City would be able to borrow for up to 20 years. The bill also increases state oversight of the City's finances by providing for a state-appointed fiscal overseer who will work cooperatively with the new mayor and city council. The overseer will report directly to the Secretary of Administration and Finance and will be paid for by City funds.
The bill requires the overseer to assess the ability of City government to manage the City's fiscal challenges and develop a three year financial plan. If the City is not able to balance its FY11 budget before January 31, 2011, the overseer will report this to the Secretary of Administration and Finance. If the state overseer concludes that the City is unable to achieve a balanced budget and fiscal stability after that time, the Secretary of Administration and Finance may appoint a finance control board with extensive powers.
In addition, the bill requires the City to act to move to GIC or a regional health purchasing group if it will save the City money and requires the consolidation of municipal and school business functions.

Chalcot Crescent, Fay Weldon
The blurb hooks us with a tantalizing premise: aged ex-copywriter Frances sits on her stairs waiting for the bailiffs to give up and leave her in peace. By way of killing some time she pretends to reflect on the exciting array of world history she has beheld over the past five decades, including such delights as the rise and fall of Communism, Feminism, and Capitalism (which was promptly followed by the Shock, Crunch, Squeeze, Recovery, Fall, Crisis and finally, Bite).
Sadly, this dizzying array of economical, political and social upheaval is merely a backdrop for our narrator's main gripe – namely, her ex husband, Karl (one of many) and her disparate handful of offspring and offsprung. She also happens to be the What If sibling that Fay evidently never had and most likely didn't want anyway (Frances nicks Fay's would-be hubby, but pays for it later). There is absolutely no real purpose to this, as Frances appears to be little more than a skinny version of Fay. I don't think this is necessarily the case of shoddy characterization (although let's not rule that out) more than another symptom of the irksome line of wrongness that etches its way through the novel. ... more »more »
Whore it up, churn it out: [vaguely] motivational musings
Greetings, fellow Fringers. Three events have occurred in the past seven days which have made my world just that little bit tastier. Being the charitable little soul I am, I feel it necessary to lay my learnings upon you.
The first event took the form of a teeny tiny snippet of a workshop, where in groups of three we were urged to fashion a collective tale and then spend three minutes apiece contributing to a third of three variations of our chosen theme (there's a more straightforward way of explaining that, but I feel it necessary to emphasise the thrice nature of proceedings). I was thrilled to discover that, when pressed, I can churn out some reasonably not-too-shabby words. It was also marvellous fun. And besides, it's always nice to break out from the tedium of lone scribbler absorption and mingle with some writerly types and discover that, contrary to what others (ie, me) might suggest, they're not all affected twats.
My second motivational titbit was less exciting, but useful nonetheless; having run out of things to read in my lunch break, I took to drafting a new but less zippy version of the shared story from the night before. I'm hoping... more »more »
Return & re-adventure
I have a friend who thinks it odd to read a book you've read before, but has no problem re-watching film fare. I have no such qualms. I'm greedy, and if something was thrilling the first time around, I'll be back to get a second fix after a suitable amount of time has passed, like a criminal returning to a particularly tasty crime scene. Or like someone who read a good book a few years ago and fancied dipping in again.
At the moment, I'm re-reading a book I'd bought whilst travelling, and it's perhaps not strange that the book has absorbed some precious moments from it's first outing. I turn to the first page and instantly am drawn back to a park bench in Olsztyn, where I opened that same page almost a year ago. I guess it's the same thing as imprinting some good times onto (or perhaps into) a song, but I like to think of anything book based as a more meandersome breed of nostalgia. Not only does the experience last longer, but you also get to revisit a host of those long lost places you'd once seen and wandered.
Not that it's purely about the places. On... more »more »
Moon (2009)
dir. Duncan Jones (yes, yes, a film set in space spawned by the spawn of Bowie)
So you wouldn't be weird if you didn't think 'yes, this film was definitely fashioned in 2009' rather than wondering if it's a long lost relic from the early 70's, that time before Star Wars shook sci-fi and took it to, well, a different sort of place. Lots of people have declared that Moon is a squashy Silent Running/Solaris/2001/Dark Star hybrid, but having not seen that latter two I lack the education required to comment with any real insight along the history of thinking sci-fi line.
All I can say is this: the plot is interesting, if a little shaky in places, and the final third is perhaps not as riveting as the opening scenes might demand, or deserve. But there's much in the way of good stuff here: isolation, claustrophobia, a touch of maybe-madness later tinged with probable-paranoia, a top notch performance by Sam Rockwell (who is pretty much the only character gracing the screen) and an artful score which enhances the atmosphere without snatching our attention away from the action.
Even during the more pressing moments, there is something oddly subdued about the film; everything is contained... more »more »
Lick my dirty scheming boot: Oxfam crowned Tesco of the secondhand book world
Gosh, I knew charities were all about noble causes, but I didn't realise they had a dark side reminiscent of those evil corporate empire style outfits you see villainised in film fare. According to the British broadsheets at least, Oxfam is having its (possibly) devious moment.
Lots of people love books, and lots of people love bargains. Secondhand bookshops have been onto this fact for some time now, and what glorious places they are. I remember the first time I set foot into one of the infamous shops on Charing Cross road: super high bookcases (complete with ladders) ensures that you are immediately encased within all sorts of exciting book-based goodness. Then you venture into the basement, where the shop seemingly doubles in size as you become blissfully submerged in a labyrinth of books – turn a corner and find yet another lovely alcove. And the smell; we're talking proper old books, oddities, wondrous topics and titles abound.
Oxfam have been peddling books for some time themselves, but of late they've expanded into shops that specialise in just the books. Fair enough, we think, books are great, 50p books are fantastic, and it's all for a... more »more »
Submarine, Joe Dunthorne
"One of the things I have discovered is that, although my father's beard looks ginger from a distance, when you get close up it is in fact a subtle blend of black, blond and strawberry.
I have also learnt that my parents have not had sex in two months. I monitor their intimacy via the dimmer switch in their bedroom. I know when they have been at it because the next morning the dial will still be set to half way."
Oliver Tate is 15. He is abnormally preoccupied with his parents' marital relations, determined to lose his virginity before he turns 16, and has a girlfriend who can do some very clever things with matches. Oliver is fond of new words, translucent skin, and will happily feed rat poison to your dog if he thinks it will 'safeguard' your long-term emotional stability.
Joe Dunthorne has a real flair for language, splattering the pages with one-liners and odd observations, as gleaned from the delightfully skewed mind of a protagonist whose mixture of intelligence and immaturity is best served in the guise of a teenage boy. Oliver can pen witty diary entries to appease his girlfriend (crafting delicious parodies of Adrian Mole), yet remain stubbornly... more »more »
Drink in a tasty cup of word coffee
Greetings fellow Fringe fans; I return from my brief but fun-filled travels (cut short by icky hot weather) and have thrown myself into the choppy waters of the publishing world once more – or, to be a tad more accurate, I am trying to dive back into them in what, admittedly, has become my rather badly timed job hunting adventure.
My frenzied rummaging around the interweb has thrown up all sorts of little treasures in regards to independent publishers and relevant news pieces in general, amongst which I discovered a slick little outfit dubbed Bookkake, a self proclaimed 'new' type of publisher of 'transgressive literature' which appears to have an erotic bent. They use a handy-looking outfit called Lightning Source to print on-demand, when (and only when) someone orders a title. Sounds like good idea in terms of minimising waste/saving some trees and not being burdened with a costly warehouse of books to push onto already chock-full market.
I later stumbled upon another piece of oldish news – a magical photocopier that squeezes out whole books in minutes. The Espresso Book Machine has been winging their way around the US/Canada/Australia for a while now, but only made their UK debut at the London Book... more »more »
post-Soviet splendour
For an agonisingly long stretch of time I've been saving all my pennies in order to explore some of the former Eastern bloc. So, in light of my imminent departure I thought it might be fitting to drop a few photographical delights in place of my usual scribbling:
Richtung Berlin/A Soviet Legacy/41 Gymnasia, Angus Boulton
Russia, Andrew Moore
Motherland, Simon Roberts
Soviet Roadside Bus Stops, Christopher Herwig
And for those who can't stand that sort of thing, I bring you… Absence of Water, courtesy of Gigi Cifali.
My apologies for not adding any fake commentary; I'm currently in the middle of pre-packing adventures (today it's jotting down those essential phrases I'll probably never use). So, just in case anyone out there gets their kicks from examining the linguistic nuances between Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian, here's a phrase I'll sadly never get to use, translated by Omniglot into all three tongues:
Мой паветраны човен поўны вуграмі
Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей
Моє судно на повітряній подушці наповнене вуграми
Um, so yes… feel enlightened.
Digital Delights (?)
Good news folks - Little White Lies (arguably the most lust-inducing film magazine currently in circulation) has unleashed their sexy new digital edition. Granted, nothing can beat curling up somewhere comfy and browsing through its art-filled pages at leisure, but for those who are too poor to fork out for the pages themselves (or a hefty overseas postage cost), the next best thing can be lapped up here. There's also some nifty link action that hooks you up with selected clips and trailers. You won't be able to wallpaper your living room with the digital pages, but perhaps that's for the best… and er, good for the environment, innit.more »
The Horror
I'm not a massive TV fan, yet I've seen enough to have noticed that the UK we're used to being treated to a barrage of offensive advertising (apparently only women have digestive problems, all of which can be treated easily – and discreetly – by buying some tablets… rather than the glaringly obvious ploy of eating proper food. Except it's not really discreet because these ads lead one to assume that any woman you see on the street is silently suffering from either constipation, diarrhoea, or that good old fashioned 'bloated feeling'). We are also graced with some cheery awareness ads:
At present, there's a man who forgot to THINK! and is consequently being haunted by a ghoul-kid in the latest instalment of the consistently chilling 'kill your speed' series. Fair enough, he's earned it. Slick as these ads are, mostly you're left thinking 'ah, clever' and brush it off; they have yet to seep into my unconscious and into my dreams.
But guess what did? A dated-looking and decidedly non-slick Stroke (act FAST!) ad. It makes you squirm not only because it's nasty, but also because the NHS budget is clearly not as impressive as that of the DfT (or so... more »more »
Spinning plates vs. eating ashes: the joy and the anguish
Ah, the rollercoaster world of The Writer; perilous, torturous, and (hopefully) gifted with the occasional smattering of giddy, sentence-spinning glee.
Being a hideously lazy waste of space, I'm not, nor ever will be, a 'writer'. At best, I'm 'someone who sometimes writes things that I don't have to'. Every now and then I'll wonder how I managed to spend all of Saturday's glorious daylight hours in front of my computer, churning out what only amounts to a couple of pages worth of shite, but most of the time I'm engaged in far less noble endeavours, like, I dunno, reading the paper, or the back of a cereal packet (good god, that's a lotta sugar).
Today I stumbled across yet another fascinating Guardian piece (they should probably start paying me for all this unsolicited promo): 'Writing for a living: a joy or a chore?' and thought it might be nice to share it with you all, just in case anyone else out there might feel vaguely heartened that it's okay not be overwhelmed with frantic ecstasy with every word they type.
Here's someone else saying what I was trying to say, only with a lot more eloquence and authority:

Guilty pleasures
So apparently recycling is a maddening waste of time, money and good intention (in the UK at least; we're feeble novices at this sort of thing) but hop over to the East and behold the wonders of re-use – a Buddhist temple made from (empty) beer bottles? Genius (and wonderfully eye-catching).
It need not be said that some serious changes need to be implemented if we're going to take the task of stretching the life of our lovely (if somewhat abused and exhausted) planet out a couple of decades longer. But what will become of one of life's most precious simple pleasures – the humble novel? I'm hardly lusting over the thought of these daft pseudo-book gizmos; you can stuff in as many wonderworks as you want, but if it ain't printed on sheets of paper stuck together I just can't imagine it evoking the same degree of pleasure.
That said, I do feel a twinge of guilt at the unholy tree-carnage that precludes the creation all those exquisite books we so justly swoon over. And just think of all the godawful stuff shuffling around out there… ooh, the shame. Save the trees! Don't print substandard nonsense! Better still – and here's my half-assed solution to the decadence of... more »more »
Even McEwan drops the occasional literary log
Since you Fringers seem to quite like your writing and your writers, I'd thought I'd share a piece of my Gurdian-centred perusing with you all:
'The trusted friends who steer novelists away from cliche'
'All that remains is time': Béla Tarr's simple truth
Yes, yes, it's a film that's (rather shockingly) a good nine years old now, but I treated myself to a second viewing of Werckmeister harmóniák (2000) last night and feel compelled to share the joy, as always.
Besides, there's always a chance that there are people out there who, like me, have heard little of what I reckon must be Hungary's – nay, Europe's – best living filmmaker in our very midst. Part of the reason for this is because, quite simply, his work hasn't been in a great hurry to get itself translated and exported over here and elsewhere; but now that is it available I urge anyone interested in 'film' (rather than 'movies') to put your life on hold until you are able to bask in Tarr's style of filmic greatness.
Béla Tarr does not tell stories; he aims for something simpler, clearer. Ultimately, he wants to show humanity, to bring the audience closer to the people on screen. Verbal communication is secondary to the physical presence of his characters, which is why we are graced with long takes, slow, brooding camerawork, and bleak, beautiful landscapes in which these people can move and breathe. Tarr claims that this unhurried approach is an attempt to follow an underlying... more »more »
Delegation or diplomacy?
Beat the slush pile! It's every unpublished writer's dream, no? The world is changing: get ready to wake up to your new reality…
We've all heard the horror stories of bored work-experience kids being handed your masterpiece – what if they overlook your skill? What if they're so overwhelmed and overburdened that everything they read disintegrates into mediocrity, or, even worse, utter shite? Well, in this wonderful age the aloof and inaccessible world of publishing is opening its iron doors and letting everyone pitch in. Thomas Nelson started gifting books to bloggers willing to write a review, and now, Harper Collins have created their very own online slush pile, available to anyone willing to create an account whore out their wares.
The premise is simple: upload your novel and let the masses decide whether it's worth printing. This is more than delegation, my friends; this is a community. Never feel alone and unloved again; build up a snazzy fan base; get people talking, bask in the buzz.
So will it work? If the public get to play an active role, I suppose it's publishing gold; after all, the people get what they want, and the publishers get their money. I'm not sure why I'm not thrilled by Authonomy (in spite... more »more »
Waltz with Bashir (Israel 2008)
Snarling, angry dogs; eyes ablaze, teeth bared and saliva glistening in the sickly yellow light of the dawn sky. They stampede through grey streets, knocking over everything in their way as they hurtle towards their quandary, who stands waiting at a window. This is the recurring dream that old friend Boaz tells director Ari Folman about one night in a bar, explaining that they are the 26 dogs he was ordered to shoot during the Lebanese war; he still remembers every face. Folman is surprised to realise that he remembers very little about his own experiences of the war, and sets about tracking down old friends and acquaintances from the past, in the hope of bringing into focus the elusive imagery he is able to dredge up.
What follows is a mesmerising investigation into Folman's wartime experiences, detailing the subjective, slippery (and often hallucinatory) nature of memory and its ties to trauma, guilt, and confusion. Past and present, fantasy and reality, horror and beauty all blend into each other, further muddying the murky waters of the filmmaker's hazy recollections. The result is undeniably stylised yet sufficiently substantial, ensuring that the viewer is instantly engaged with the subject matter and soon absorbed entirely into the collective recollection of... more »more »
Yay for water, nay for whimsy
Behold AQUARIUM: Fuselit's 13th issue of poetry, short fiction, artwork and musical trinkets from amongst the likes of Pomegranate's Richard O'Brien, Steve Himmer, Chelsea Cargill and Brittle Star's David Floyd.
So yes, it's small and cute and oh so pretty, but do its lovingly bubble-painted pages caress innards of satisfying substance? It's a worthy question, to which the heart warming answer is yes, yes, yes; this is a delightful collection of prose and poetry that also happens to fit neatly in the palm of one's hand.
As you might hope to expect, the writers offer an impressive and diverse array of bite-sized slithers of word joy, varying from witty and absurd to slyly understated and sneakily sinister. You can but marvel at how this particular rabble of writers has taken the theme and run, rolled, skipped and swam with it. This really is a tiny chest of treasures just waiting to acquaint themselves with your trembling, greedy, grateful fingers.
This issue also comes with an equally dinky CD, as well as a super fun mix and match poetry booklet: the pages are cut into three, allowing the reader to mess up the various stanzas in order to create confections that the editors promise will vary... more »more »
The Art of Concision
Or – 'That agonisingly elusive skill I used to possess but somehow lost, leaving my powers of persuasion hopelessly, painfully, pathetic.' I'd say ditto to being witsome as well, but that would imply I've ever being blessed with such a hallowed gift. Anyway, I'm reminded of my fall from grace by a recent challenge urging succinct scribblers to submit a six word memoir in the form of a suitably pithy postcard.
The shortlist is not as impressive as I'd hoped, but having morphed into a rather long-winded buffoon of late, it's not as if I would have had anything better to offer myself. My personal favourite is, 'Divorced, broke, spinal tumor. Otherwise fine.' However, pollsters have been seduced by the rather more romantic, 'I made everything up, except you.'
I can happily swallow such sentiment only if I feel it's sincere – this particular slither leaves me torn; I want to like it, but it's a muddled sort of like. Remember when PostSecret offered touching, funny revelations… and then got inundated with unashamedly contrived cheese? The superior stuff lives on; it's just that now it's mixed up amongst the slush. Such is the way of these things, I suppose.
But yes, back to my original point: fellow Fringers!... more »more »
Cinematic Poetry (it can happen)
The other evening I had the distinct pleasure of encountering the delights of Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg. Since it's been winging its way around the US festival circuit since April, I shall shunt my lyrical waxings elsewhere, and instead talk about something shiny and new, but nonetheless related.
Winnipeg does what film should aspire to: using the medium to create something personal, distinct and engaging – and, not being a literary expert in any shape or form, I can, in my relative naivety, squash the words 'cinematic' and 'poetry' together in celebration of what Maddin's film achieves. Whether the words and phrases used in the film hold much poetic weight on their own matters not, since the overall experience comes from the layering of image, sound and narration.
I'm not the only one throwing around this particular label; the UK's foremost pithy critic, Mark Kermode, has recently sung the praises of Terence Davies' Of Time and the City ('lyrical' and 'transcendent' being the key words). Davies speaks of his love of the small things that reveal 'the greater truth' of loss, nostalgia and the city. This rendering of what critics have described as both a love song and a eulogy was achieved through initial mute edits, to ensure... more »more »
Struggling would-be writer master class
Lesson one: define yourself
Compulsive - 'If I don't scribble down my insightful slices of wit/genius/woe right now my mind will literally implode in a sticky, angst-ridden mess.'
Dreamer – 'I want to write, but I just don't know what about…'
One-time wonder – Breaks through with a lifetime's labour of love. They may only have one novel inside them, but they have the sense to make it a damn good one.
Memoir miserablist – Taints the literary world with details of their (possibly fabricated) abusive/difficult childhood and/or time in rehab. A self-righteous tone is essential. Ditto details of horrific depravity coupled with triumph of the human spirit.
Obsessive – Unlike the compulsive, the obsessive enjoys writing for its own sake. They have clocked up their 10,000 hours of genius-making time before puberty, whilst their peers were still lost in the follies of navel-gazing. Once their genius reaches its inevitable peak, they will be forced to publish under a myriad of jazzy pseudonyms so as not to flood the unsuspecting market.
Good poet – Expresses various elements of the human condition in an array of elegant and quietly affecting musings.
Bad poet – Believes that they are doing the above simply by omitting punctuation and capital letters.

David Miller, President and CEO of WWF Canada and chair of the 2014 Canadian Water Summit, recently published a blog post on WWF Canada's website giving some insight into this year's summit.
"We must recognize that Canada is a very lucky country when it comes to water," Miller writes. "We're home to some of the world's most exceptional and largest freshwater ecosystems, and we're not as affected by water quality problems and shortages as many other parts of the planet.

Rob Andrews (President, OCWA), Brian Mergelas, (CEO, WaterTAP), Bruce Lounsbury (CEO, Newterra), and Cynthia Robertson (Principal, Parkridge Consulting) will share their insights. Find out more.
What people have said about past Canadian Water Summits:
"It was a great mix of people with different perspectives which brought about real, tough questions and helped us all see a different view or angle."
"Representation from industry was phenomenal."
"The overall discussion was thought- provoking and the speakers were very passionate and frank with their opinions."
"It was interesting to learn about all the desires for making policy regarding water in Canada. It was good to see the business sector involved with these discussions. Other events sometimes ignore those who would be funding such studies."
The CWS Advisory Committee is excited to announce that a draft program outline is now available online.
Announcing CWS 2014 Chair David Miller

Burtynsky's new film Watermark and his highly anticipated book Water tells us stories of where water comes from, how we use it, distribute and often, waste it.

Last week's Canadian Water Summit in Calgary was without a doubt the most meaningful Summit in the history of the event. As in years past, participants were part of a rich mix of water leaders convening to share best practices and explore opportunities for innovation. But unlike past events, our discussions were informed by the very real and very recent Calgary floods.
While some of us have left Calgary, most of the participants were locals who continue to deal with the aftermath of the floods as they affect friends and family. We were humbled by the devastation, and inspired by Calgarians' reaction to it.
We strongly encourage the entire CWS community, from Europe to Mexico to the US and across Canada, to make a donation to the Red Cross Alberta Floods Fund.
As articulated by our keynote speaker, Joppe Cramwinckel, the Calgary floods coincided with floods in India, Germany and Ontario. Clearly our water work, in all its complexity and simplicity, is more important than ever before.

Cybershock miscalculated the battle scenario. He didn't account for Zorua passing though paralysis. Cybershock now had a large gash in his back area. It looked really bad, so having him continue in battle would be careless, stupid, and heartless of me. I would never have my Pokémon fight when they were injured, I didn't want anything bad to happen to him. I had to get him healed up fast before this got more serious that it already was. After I left the park I was going to have get him into the emergency room and get him healed up properly.
"Cybershock, stand down and use Recover, heal your wounds." I called out. "Shadow, help him out." Cybershock teleported near Shadow and began glowing a bright white color. That was the first step in Recover. "Okay Mindbender, you're up." I tossed out her Pokeball. A bright light flashed and a magnificent green humanoid Psychic Pokémon appeared from the Pokéball. Her elegant ballroom looking gown swayed gracefully from side to side as she waited for me to instruct her.
"What do we have here?" She asked telepathically as she examined her opponent.
"A Zorua, and it is full of tricks." I informed. "You can't let your guard down at all. It may be paralyzed, but it can still pull off whatever trick it has up its sleeve. It is looking very tired, so attack it lightly, but do enough damage for me to capture it. We might try and put it to sleep after this; I want it to be a successful capture on the first try." She nodded, acknowledging that she understood.
"I can take care of that then." She smiled.
I wanted to start off with Hypnosis, but I was going to hold off on that until I got it at a much lower health. Right now Zorua was parlayed, so it wasn't that fast despite the speed boost it got. I wasn't sure what move I should use. I had so many choices, but only a few that would do a little damage. Right now that is what I needed, a move that did just a bit of damage. Psychic moves wouldn't do any damage, so those were out. Focus Blast, if it hit, would knock the little Pokémon unconscious and according to park rules I couldn't catch Zorua if it wasn't conscious. I could either use Icy Wind, or Magical Leaf. Since I wanted to try and burn it, Icy Wind was out.
"Use Magical Leaf, Mindbender." I called out. "Don't hurt it too much like I said." Mindbender nodded and used her psychic abilities to lift nearby leaves off of the ground and began sharpening them. Then she launched them at Zorua. The little guy looked exhausted, but I knew he still had some tricks left. Wasn't sure exactly what, but I wasn't letting my guard down for a second. If this went well, I could put it to sleep and throw a Hyperball to seal the deal and move on. There were a few more things I wanted in this run. I hoped I could find a Golett or Solosis. Elgyem would be cool too, but I was really glad I ran into this Zorua. So far this run was going great. I ran into an Abra, saw Victini, got a Snorlax as a Ranger, angered a Deino family, and ran into a Zorua. It was definitely one of my best runs yet.

I don't have a deep freezer, but I have two refrigerators with top freezers and I am constantly pulling everything out to find what I need. My life would be easier if I just got a few bins to hold the smaller things, like bags of frozen veggies and fruits! Thank you for another great idea!

@You, Me and B,
I JUST bought a few Dollar Tree baskets and put them in my freezer. Meat in one, frozen fruits and veggies in the other.
It has really improved my freezer.
[Reply]Donna says:
I also have the deep freezer. I used larger size shoe box containers from Wal-Mart. I labeled them and stood them upright. It made a huge difference. Now if I want pork, I pull the pork box, chicken, etc.

@Donna, Super!! There are so many ways to get a freezer organized and once you do it just seems so much more useful.

I put a foldable wire shelf rake into my freezer to give me another shelf, because it was just 1 big hole. Works great

That's a great idea. I'll have to try that since one side if my freezer is pretty deep.
[Reply]Livin In Duckville says:
We have a large chest freezer & I was forever losing things in the bottom of it only to find them 'years' later all freezer burned & yucky. About a year ago I was able to find bins that worked perfectly (they were actually school locker bins – like milk crates only narrower). That has helped us know at a glance what we need & what we have to plan for meals.
Glad that great minds think alike!

text: My parents divorced when I was young and I was angry at times, but I grew to understand that it was for the best for all three of us. I am so thankful. Both are happily remarried and have been for many years; one for 15 years and the other 20 years. They were able to be more present to me thru my childhood and teen years. Best decision they ever made for me. Finicially and emotionally it was difficult for both of them, however them seperating actually was an act of putting me and my needs first. That's my perspective on it. I have outstanding relationships with both my mother and my father. I never felt abandoned in the process.

New website for U.S. Plant Conservation Alliance
28 August 2014Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the launch of a new website for the PCA Non-Federal Cooperator Committee (formerly known as the PCA NGO Committee*), located at www.plantconservationalliance.org. Designed to improve coordination among more than 300 Non-Federal Cooperator organizations, this website makes it easy for new organizations to become Cooperators and for current Cooperators to join the Advocacy Group and take part in collaborative efforts to advocate for plant conservation in the United States.
Here's how you can make the most of this website:
Please address any questions to email@example.com.
*The PCA Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Committee was recently renamed to the PCA Non-Federal Cooperator (NFC) Committee to better reflect the diverse group of Cooperators that are now a part of it.
Sophia Shaw
Chair, Plant Conservation Alliance Non-Federal Cooperator Committee

Atari USB Drive Brings Back Memories
Monday, July 6, 2009 - 6:39am
While yes, most USB flash drives are tiny and pocketable, there's still something undeniably charming about this Atari USB drive. It's basically just an old cartridge that's been gutted and stuffed with flash memory and equipped with a USB cable, but come on. That's awesome. If you're looking for an external drive with a bit of flair and you don't need to tote it around with you, I don't know how you can go wrong here.

Now that he is slowing down and thinking, diagnosing plays, when he does explode to go make a play he is in better position because he hasn't ran himself out of it.
Watched him a lot at UCLA and basically he just got to run around and try to make picks. Surrpised he gotten more of those but i think they will come.
I'm not so sure about that. While being out of position did hurt his tackling ability last year, I can also remember multiple times last year where he just flat out whiffed on a tackle or got ran over because he didn't wrap up properly. There was an article over the offseason about how he was working mainly on his tackling technique. Obviously it has helped him significantly.
As he continues to improve and be more confident in himself, I think we will start to see more impact plays out of him. Getting down the fundamentals is the first step, and one that he has been progressing very well on.

functional success of the project. If that student has had little or no exposure to corrosion, a course whose objective is to help the student synthesize knowledge already mastered is unlikely to teach anything else than that corrosion could take place and degrade system performance.
Unfortunately, while these three categories of corrosion education are available in some schools, many students, particularly those in fields of engineering other than materials, are likely to graduate with no formal exposure to corrosion science or engineering. This situation explains the limited corrosion-related skill sets that students are bringing to the workforce.
Given the enormous financial and strategic importance of corrosion, as discussed in Chapter 1, how is it that most U.S. engineers can graduate with so little grasp of corrosion? In the committee's opinion, the answer lies in the growing number of competing topics that the graduates must master. As engineering becomes increasingly complex and interdisciplinary, there is constant pressure to keep adding fresh material to the curriculum, including courses on new tools that lead to a deeper understanding of all materials while keeping the course load to a total of 120-128 credits. (Examples are computational tools for modeling and visualizing everything from bonding to structure formation to macroscopic processes.) This pressure comes from various stakeholders: students, who want to be competitive for employment or admission to graduate schools; faculty members, who sincerely believe that every well-educated student should know a reasonable amount about his or her own research specialty; and also employers, who want new graduates to be conversant in the latest findings. Most engineering educators recognize that curricula are already saturated and accept that if new topics are to be added, old ones must be subtracted or diluted.
Corrosion education tends not to fare well in the face of these pressures. Despite its importance, corrosion is not new, and few consider corrosion science and engineering to be at the cutting edge. The very thought of corrosion can be off-putting to students,3 who feel that they should be learning about new technologies with the potential to change the world. Few engineering educators and students grasp the wealth of strategies that are available to prevent corrosion and would rather spend class time on topics that they perceive as more useful.
Results from a questionnaire circulated to engineering educators in conjunction with the present study tend to support this view (see Box 2-4 for a discussion

MetaCommunications has announced the launch of its Software for Students program, through which high schools, colleges, and career training institutes teaching graphic arts can use the company's Workgroups 2010 application suite free of charge.
The free package includes all of the following: unlimited user license for all modules, free upgrades and support, free professor and classroom instructor training, and a workgroups online option (fee applies) in order to avoid taking up local storage space with installation of the software.
Explained Robert T. Long, executive vice president of MetaCommunications, "Educators preparing students for careers in ad agencies, Internet marketing,... and many other industries are telling us that it's now more important than ever for their students to have a working knowledge of real-world electronic workflow and project collaboration skills."
Other necessary skills for real-world success include estimating, billing, scheduling, productivity techniques, and project management skills. The Workgroups 2010 suite is designed to give students a firm grounding in all of these areas.
The applications include:
Peggy Ann Dolan, who teaches graphic information technology at Arizona State University, said that students with these additional skills "have a distinct advantage in today's competitive market. For the past four years we have used the Workgroups suite as a resource to teach about MIS in the graphics field. It's been wonderfully instructive and we have had feedback from graduates that it has helped with their jobs and put them 'ahead of the pack.'"
The SfS program allows user institutions either to install the software suite onto an in-house network and use it free of charge, or to choose an online hosted option, which requires a monthly service fee.

Schauungtown Chronicles, Part 4
The Primate's Pilgrimage
The retinue finally arrived at the Schauungtown Toleration Fellowship. Both the Primate and Seer glanced out the window at the structure dedicated to oneness and equality. Throngs of those not deemed essential enough to be allowed inside the hall gathered around the perimeter in hopes of catching a glimpse of the dignitaries.
Let's Roll, America!
At this moment in history, the American people understand they — and to be even more specific— their country — is in jeopardy. Granted, we were slow to come around, at least some of us were, but now roughly 80% of Americans understand the power grab in Washington by the socialists/Marxists is, in fact, "a clear and present danger" to the republic.
MSM vs. Reality
Kindly consider that everything that I just mentioned has been done before, I covered some of it in my False Flag post. It's simply a question of looking at their past behavior, their stated objectives, and their current actions, and we can make some fair estimations as their current intent. Is it conjecture? Yes, but conjecture based on previous statements and behavior.
Why the Defamation of Religions Resolution is Unacceptable
Our enemies outnumber us in the UN. We can not win the crucial votes. We must counter attack, using their own weapon against them. ICERD, ICCPR & CPPCG contain provisions which would, if enforced, require that Islam be proscribed by law. The International Qur'an Petition points out those critical provisions and shows how they are violated by fundamental Islamic doctrines.
Planned Parenthood's Obamacare Grand Slam

Superpower China
Many of the economists and China-watchers have been quick to seize on any bad news coming out of the Asian giant, but for the most part they have marveled how, since the new century began, China has proven adept at maintaining a fast growing economy. Indeed, so fast, it is beginning to show signs of protectionism.

Hi All,
I have recently acquire a 2nd hand Lindy usb<>RS485 converter cable. I found this forum-link, since I have a problem interpreting how to connect the db9-male pins to my RS485 transceiver device which has a connection marked Gnd, +/- thus 3-pins, thus half-duplex. I assume the +/- is similar to the transceiver ic output driver/receiver A/B (ti SN65HVD12DR) inside the device. On the Lindy user-guide the DB9 pins 1,2,3,4 5(gnd) refers to
Pin Def Desciption
1 DM (1)Tx/Rx-
2 DP (1)Tx/Rx+
3 DP (2)Tx/Rx+
4 DM (2) Tx/Rx-.
The rest of the pins (6-9) I see as Handshake signals.
Now, my query, how do I connect my RS485-device's +/- pins, since it is only 2 pins??.
I could make the assumption that the Lindy cable make provision for 2 rs485 devices, on pins 1&2 / pins3&4.
Since my RS485 is half-duplex, can I then connect the device's +- pins to any pair, 1&2 or 3&4 and
do one have to configure any parameter on the xp usb driver to make it aware half-duplex, which pair 1&2 or 3&4 in use?
However the xp installed driver only install one comport.
As you can probably deduce from this writing , I am not an it skilled-tech person,
however, I do know that one is suppose to be able to drive and communicate with only 1xpair of twisted wires, thus how to connect my device 2pins (+/-) to Lindy cable (gnd optional)
Many thanks for your helpful feedback.

Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 is a vertically-oriented platform game by Taito, originally released as an Arcade Game in 1987.Following on from the end of Bubble Bobble, Bub and Bob have regained their human forms and now have to fight their way through the Rainbow Islands, seven differently themed islands each with different enemies and a huge boss at the end. Complicating this mission is the fact the islands are flooding, and each level must be completed before the water reaches the top, since the water kills instantly when touched.The main difference between Rainbow Islands and its predecessor is the increased size of the levels, which are many screens high. It also introduces a new weapon for defeating bad guys; rainbows, which are fired in front of the player and have an arc shape, so that they can trap enemies, be stood or bounced on, and, most importantly, collapsed, which is the best way to destroy enemies.The game has been praised for being surprisingly complex, largely due to its enormous array of potential collectibles and the various ways of obtaining them.It has had a few Video Game Remakes:

This week, I tweeted about Rogers taking away the credit I had in my wireless account for the System Access Fee. A credit (For $6.95) that I was told I could have until the end of my contract.
The Rogers social media team responded to me, and I received a subsequent call from Delwin, of the Office of the President. I explained my situation to him, and he said that there was nothing in their notes, and that there was no code for the System Access Fee credit in the system anymore. Of course not.
I told him not to bother with anything else, I was going to let my contract expire and be done with this terrible company for good for my mobile phone. I explained to Delwin that it's rather outrageous that they were willing to sacrifice $50 a month from a long time customer for the sake of $6.95 a month. He didn't bother fighting, he knew it was a lost cause.
For full disclosure's sake, my account is worth at least $80 a month, and I have received quite a few credits on my account already. Why? I fought tooth and nail for them because it's not like Rogers would ever say a damn thing to me should prices for better plans be created.
I am sure many people share the number of credits I have, along with the stories of how they have had to fight for every single dollar in the account.
Thank you Rogers, and the other telecoms, for making sure you treat all of your customers as adversaries. You are profiting extraordinarily well from all the frustrations of consumers in this inexplicably monopolistic telecom industry in Canada, and the CRTC ensures that your profits for years to come will be safe.
Up yours, and then some.
