The separation lasted only a few seconds, 10 at the most, but Mike would never forget the spike in his blood and the terror of those brief few moments.
Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son, Adam, has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate, Spencer Hill - the latest in a string of issues at school - they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: "Just stay quiet and all safe."
Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death...and he wasn't alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera's range, but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community.
For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: When it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?
©2008 Harlan Coban; (P)2008 Brilliance Audio
"Parents will find this compulsive page-turner from Edgar-winner Coben...particularly unnerving." (Publishers Weekly)
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 12-year-old daughter.
"Will hold your interest till the end"
With 20 minutes left in this listen, I had just about decided to award it five stars. The last 20 minutes brought it down to four. This should not dissuade people from purchasing the book. Coben does his usual excellent job of creating characters that the listener can identify with. He weaves together two separate but related stories that wil have listeners postulating and guessing. At the book's conclusion he inserts a final twist that borders on the preposterous. To say more might give something away. Luckily it doesn't seriously detract from the listening experience. Scott Brick does a fine job with the narration and makes the dialogue and who's speaking pretty easy to follow. Coben came very close to having a great book with many interesting and surprising twists and turns, except for the final one. It is still worth you time, especially if you're a Coben fan.
"Non Stop Listen!"
This is my 1st Coben book and wow I couldnt stop listening. The title is perfect as you hold tight as the story unfolds. 5 stars for sure!
I am a commuter and listening to audio books keeps the road rage to non exsistent. I must say that this audio book was addictive. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I was actually getting angry, feeling torture and sorrow. Amazing writing. I highly recommend to anyone who loves suspense and mystery.
"One of Coben's best"
I love Harlan Coben's standalone thrillers, such as Tell No One and Gone For Good. Coben knows how to build and keep suspense through the whole book, and Hold Tight is no exception.
It has an interesting premise: parents spying on their kids, and the author made a very interesting story out of that premise, adding some interesting notes on technology.
But the main theme with all his books is nonstop suspense. I love all Coben's standalone thrillers for that reason (I haven't read his Myron Bolitar books yet).
Each time I read a book my this author I'm always disappointed when I get to the end, I always want the story to go on. To me, that is the true test of a good story.
The Path Between the Seas to The Great Bridge ~ Kagan's Peloponnesian War to Gaddis' Cold One ~ Mornings on Horseback to a River of Doubt ~ Tom to Huck ~ Lennie to Charley ~ Cadfael to Cross ~ Rhyme to Reacher ~ Blomkvist and Salander to Wallander and Wallander ~ Moving Cheese or Eating Frogs ~ On the Road and Into Thin Air ~ The End of History to A Short History of Everything to ... well ... everything else.
"Top Writer ~ Ace Narrator ~ Good Story"
Harlan Coben is a fine writer with an impressive range ~ from Hold Tight's dark mystery to his lighter Myron Bolitar fare. His audios are always worth a listen.
Scott Brick is the finest narrator working today and, it turns out, the most prolific. He handles this audiobook, with its impressive cast of characters, with skill. If you haven't heard his work before, you will be impressed.
The story here is solid (4 1/2 stars from a 5 star writer). It's probably not Coben's best, but his second-best still tops the vast majority of mystery writers working today. Having written that, let's quickly add that the story is more than sufficiently engaging to hold your interest right to the end, particularly if you are a parent of teens or 'tweens. Parent or no, you will find yourself shivering and nodding in turn as you follow ~ audibly ~ the various ways the concept of "family" can play itself out.
Family is the touchstone here, but not in the platitudinous way the notion is so often treated by the politically or socially correct. Here we see the consequences of family touched by madness, by tragedy, by infidelity, by horror, by violence, by corruption and, finally, by love. All these manifestations interact ~ sometimes with predictable consequences, sometimes not. The good do not always win, although, as is often the case in Coben's novels and in life itself, the good and the evil both suffer mightily before any resolution is granted. And rest assured, Coben's deft hand ties all the familial threads together before the final credits play.
A credit-worthy listen, with something to think about when its over.
Mom Chops
"My first Coben"
This is the first Harlan Coben book I've read and I can't wait to get to the rest. The premise intrigued me and the book didn't disappoint. I would buy the phone book from Audible if Scott Brick were the narrator. Coben and Brick combined kept me glued to my headphones for two days of "don't you dare interrupt me" looks while listening to this intricately woven tale of seemingly unlinked events that left me in awe of a storyteller who makes his craft look effortless. I never felt manipulated, just extremely amazed at the way this tale unfolded.
"Not one dull moment!"
This was my first book I have experienced that is written by Coben and I will definitely be listening to others written by him.
The characters really come to life and the experience of listening to this book is as good as (if not better than) a watching a movie!
The story is fresh, suspenseful, interesting, and very realistic.
Scott Brick, as always, does a flawless job narrating!
"Didn't want to stop listening"
I really liked the way the characters merged, much like "Crash".
"The best"
I say the best because it is the best mystery book I have listened to. Mysteries are not my favorite genre. If they were I may have given this a five. It held my attention throughout the book and had many plot twists and turns. All were neatly tied up at the end though and it was nice to hear it all come together. There is some gore and torture in this book so just be aware that some parts are hard to listen to. Still an enjoyable "read" and worth the download.
"hold tight"
loved it! not as sarcastic as with his myron books....but i also needed a break from him. they were starting to be the same. as a parent...i could totally relate to this book. got a bit confusing as to what blame was to be placed on the little sister. kept me going...listening at work whenever i got a break.

I still read on here that these cards are not working with the open source driver and you eliminate the option of using hardware decoding right off the bat by virtue of it being AMD. So much for open source when you can't even use the features the card is supposed to have. How well does the acceleration work?
I would try to find a used GTX 460 (1GB if possible). There should be some floating around and that way, you get VDPAU (I like AMD, but I get the feeling pigs will fly before their damned lawyers allow them to really open up UVD).
GTX 460 TDP - needs its own nuclear plant (I kid, I kid)
http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...RA-1212312RA16 This 260GTX were mine. The 4core CPUs across the board deliver near same performance, so you can judge.
Yes, no video acceleration currently, this relies on CPU. But I personally found out that it is better to accelerate every codec, than only bunch of them. I wait for working HSA/OpenCL which claimed to be opensource.
The GPUs recieve a lot of attention recently on all opensource drivers. So its my choice, but everyone has to choose himself.

The common areas and showers were not properly cleaned or well-maintained. The smell of smoke permeated the entire facility.

A great track record in rail
About FirstGroup
Click on image to zoom
One of the largest rail operators in the UK and the only one to run every sort of railway - long distance, regional, commuter and sleeper operations - we carried 330m passengers in 2013/14.
We operate three UK rail franchises (First Great Western, First ScotRail and First TransPennine Express) and one open access passenger rail service (First Hull Trains). We also operate the Tramlink service on behalf of Transport for London and the Heathrow Connect service with Heathrow Airport.
Since 2005 our franchises have received more than 250 awards, including First ScotRail, the 2014 Rail Business of the Year, and First TransPennine Express, the current European Intercity Operator of the Year.
We have proposed and delivered over £650m capital investment into our franchises since 2006. Since we began running rail operations, we have introduced a total of 740 additional vehicles across our various franchises, which has also led to the creation of new depot facilities and jobs.
Even through the recession our rail services have delivered growth. For example, at First TransPennine Express passenger levels have nearly doubled since 2004 – cutting taxpayer subsidy as a proportion of passenger revenue by 80% as a result. We are embracing new technology in ticketing and rolling out Wi-Fi on First Great Western and First ScotRail.
We have a great track record in rail that has proven successful through different generations of rail franchising and across a range of passenger rail operations. We remain committed to retaining a leading position in the thriving UK rail market.
Thanks to privatisation, the rail industry's growth has been spectacular, far outstripping economic growth. The UK rail network's performance is unmatched in other sectors and is the envy of Europe, with higher passenger kilometres travelled and passenger satisfaction scores than Germany, Holland or France.
FirstGroup is giving train passengers the first ever opportunity to earn Nectar points when booking their journeys online with a UK rail operator.

NosTale Full Review
By: Erhan Altay
Originally released in Korea back in 2006, NosTale is now available to the Western market but with a few complications. There are currently three sites vying for your sign up. The first one I Googled upon was the UK (United Kingdom) server hosted by GameForge, the next was the Global server hosted by Servex (Which shut down) and the latest one is by the new publisher Uforia (Which shut down) which doesn't host its own server but serves as an alternative means to log into the global service. Since the Serverx and Uforia versions of the game all shut down, I linked to the GameForge homepage, download and sign up pages. Users in both Europe and North America can access the GameForge version.
Back to Basics
While NosTale is a relatively new game, its graphic style hearkens back to the good old days of 2D gaming. I would of imagined a game like this having a small client but the 1160 MB download proved me wrong. Character creation is nearly nonexistent; players chose their gender and one of two hairstyles along with a few hair color options. Like many other Asian MMORPGs, players do not select a class from the beginning, instead beginning as a newbie class until reaching a certain level. That level in Nostale is 15 which is higher than usual. Its also worth mentioning that characters in NosTale have two levels; a Job level and a Combat level. Your combat level continues to increase as you hunt monsters, complete questions and so on while your job level resets every time you switch jobs. The first dozen or so levels in NosTale go by quickly but only if you follow the starting quest line. Players are taught gameplay basics and led from one area to another by a bright arrow, gaining experience as they go.
Chicken, I Choose You!
If you follow the tutorial quests, you'll eventually be taught how to catch animals and have them serve as pets. If you already have a pet with you, all new pets caught will be automatically transported to your 'mini-land' which acts as a personal home base. Pets can be trained and level up just like your character, they can learn new skills but must be fed and kept loyal or they will refuse to obey your commands. Players can have a single pet out in the gameworld at a time but may also hire an NPC mercenary called a NosMate. Both NosMates and pets can be set to auto follow and defend your main character or they can be given individual commands. NosMates also level up and can even be equipped with weapons and armor. During the first few dozen levels chances are you'll be stuck with small pets like chickens, sheep, baby foxes and so on but eventually you'll be able to catch dragons and other interesting monsters.
Easy Mode
Combat in NosTale is straight forward – left click your opponent to take a swing. As you level you'll learn new skills which can be assigned to hotkeys and activated in battle. None of this is very original but it generally works well. My only complaint is that while fighting near teleporters (which link areas), you'll occasionally end up teleporting instead of attacking. This gets frustrating especially during the game's instanced dungeon missions (called time stones) which are scattered across the game world. Time Stone missions are timed and usually tied to the ongoing quest line. They are organized into a series of rooms nearly identical rooms which makes for repetitive gameplay. Completing these Time Stones not only provides players with a reward but is also necessary to finish each 'Act' and move on to the next. If you happen to die during one of these missions, you can simply come back to life up to 2-3 times (depending on the mission.) Things are even better outside the dungeons. As long as you're under level 20 death has no penalty and players can elect to respawn right where they died. If your NosMate happens to die, they too will come back to life after three minutes. All this makes for a very easy game experience which is enjoyable at first since the experience rate is steady but after level 15 things begin to slow down.
All in the Family
Upon reaching level 15, players are given a meager three class choices; Swordsman, Archer, or Sorcerer. Luckily, each of these classes has four specializations which take the form of cards that players can obtain and use. For more information on the classes and their specializations, check out the overview tab. Another unique feature in NosTale is the mini land. Mini lands act as instanced homes that players can customize with furniture, trees, flowers and so on. As mentioned earlier, the mini land is where all additional pets caught by a player are stored. NosTale also has high level raids which take up to 15 players to complete. Players form a 'Family' rather than a guild in Nostale which gives it a more personal touch. NosTale even has PvP, players can drink a 'battle potion' which leaves them open to attack by others or can head into the arena and fight it in more structured battles.
Now for the Bad
I found the graphics in NosTale to be rather attractive but that may be because I have a soft spot for 2D games. The environments are nice and brightly colored, the monsters and characters are nicely designed but are recycled for too often. Every MMORPG recycles monster designs, changes their color a bit and slaps on a new name but NosTale has taken it a step too far. You'll be fighting the same monsters at level 40 as you've been fighting at level 1 except that they will be a darker shade of red. Another fault is the game's poor translations, NPC dialogue is at times incoherent and always dull. A quest tracker tells you how many of each monster you need to kill but finding where those monsters are located means deciphering quest text.
Final Verdict: Good
NosTale is not a revolutionary game but is easy to pick up and play. There's enough in here for everyone. Pets, customizable homes and plenty of quests will appeal to the average gamer while instanced dungeons, raids and PvP entertain the dedicated crowd.

Latest update : 2011-03-22
Libya: Tributes to Mohamed Nabbous
The web pays tribute to Libyan blogger Mohamed Nabbous, killed during the fighting in Benghazi. Japanese Artists are mobilising support for their disaster hit country. And the Nelson Mandela foundation is about to broadcast his personal documents on the Internet.
Libya: Tributes to Mohamed Nabbous
A voice is heard over the sounds of fighting during the violent clashes that broke out in Benghazi on Saturday. This is Mohamed Nabbous speaking on the telephone, and it's his final recording. The blogger was reportedly shot dead this weekend when he went to report on the attack by Muammar Gaddafi's forces on the Libyan opposition stronghold.
The telecommunications engineer had managed to bypass government blocks on the Internet to set up Al Hurra TV, an online television channel providing coverage of the anti-government uprising. In one of his final broadcasts, he went to a neighborhood of Benghazi, camera in hand, to report on the aftermath of an earlier attack.
Many web users are mourning the death of Mohamed Nabbous and are sharing one of his video blogs, which was originally uploaded at the start of the uprising, on social networks. He says in this message that he is not afraid of dying, he is afraid of losing this battle for freedom.
Many cyber activists have quoted these words when paying tribute to him. And a Facebook group has been set up in his memory, hailing the bravery of this man who has become a symbol of the revolution.
His wife Perdita, who is pregnant with their first child, has posted an audio message on her husband's Web TV, calling upon the people of Libya to carry on his cause, by continuing to post accounts of the anti-Gaddafi rebellion on the channel.
Japan: Art in times of crisis
This cartoon is explaining the nuclear crisis in Japan, with a hint of humour. In this video created by artist Kazuko Hachiya, Fukushima nuclear power plant is represented by a character called Mr. Nuclear. He has a stomach ache and is releasing toxic gases. To stop him from "releasing radiations", doctors go and cure him with sea water and boric acid.
With Japan facing its worst disaster since the Second World War, artists and art foundations are coming together in a show of support for the nation. An online drawing competition has been organized to urge citizens to be economic with energy, as electricity production has fallen due to numerous nuclear reactors being shut down.
A number of local musicians have composed songs, paying tribute to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. The group Office Augusta in particular, has broadcast this track on the Internet in support of the victims.
The artist Takashi Murakami is asking Japanese artists to be positive and create works on the theme of "Tomorrow is a new day". Several comic strip artists, like Inoue Takehiko who has posted a collection of smiling Japanese faces online, have responded to this appeal.
And finally, less artistic web users can take part in the project "Pray for Japan", by displaying these logos on their social network profile pages, as a symbol of solidarity.
Nelson Mandela's archives
Prison diaries, private letters as well as minutes from meetings… Nelson Mandela is a meticulous man and has written down many notes in his time. Thousands of these documents are currently being scanned and should soon be available to view on the Nelson Mandela foundation web site. Google has donated over 1 million dollars to the foundation to help complete this project.

Learn to play a musical instrument with famous performers. This is what the site Imusic School is proposing. You can learn to play guitar, bass, drum and piano in a variety of styles including Jazz, rock, as well as flamenco. Lessons will be available 24 hours a day via videos upon request.
Video of the day
80 days around the world summed up in a couple of minutes and 8 000 photos. Trey Ratcliff travelled through Europe and Asia and also America, and has created this compilation video using photos taken during his trip and the result is stunning!

This isn't really a camping question but because you all go camping with your kids and they are most likely outdoorsy types and used to coping with the elements, I thought I'd post it here.
My 5yo was supposed to go to a bicycle education holiday programme for a day on Tuesday. I'd booked and paid and was sent an email reminding us to pack a rain coat and gloves. Pretty unnecessary advice in my opinion, but anyways.
On Tuesday it was raining when we got up. So I made sure I got her waterproof mittens and some spare clothes in her bag. The course was to start at 9, so by 8.30am we were about to get in the car when I got a phone call from the organisers telling me that the programme was postponed. She didn't specifically say it was because of the rain, but it obviously was. (it ended up clearing up after just an hour too!)
I am so annoyed about that! And I realised it's a bit of a general trend here to cancel activities and events for kids when it rains. I grew up in Belgium which has a similar climate to England, so was used to getting soaked in the rain. They never cancelled anything because of it either. You just always carried a rain coat with you. At school from when I was 4, we were sent outside every recess and lunch break no matter whether it was raining or -10. If you didn't want to get wet, you could shelter under the roof if you chose to, if you didn't want to be cold, you were expected to run around to keep warm. I definitely didn't always like it as a child, but it taught me that getting wet or cold is really not the end of the world.
So I am not at all pleased that they treat my child like she's made of sugar! I definitely don't. We ride our bikes to school and back every single school day, whether it's -5 or 40, rain or shine. And my daughter never complains because - like me when I was little - she is not given any other option.
What's your opinion?

Latest update : 2012-02-14
Malaysia deports Saudi blogger
A Saudi Arabian blogger facing the death penalty for blasphemy. Barack Obama continues his re-election campaign. And the State of West Bengal in India has released a tourism video made using shadow puppetry.
Malaysia deports Saudi blogger
Saudi Arabian blogger Hamza Kashgari could be facing the death penalty for three messages he posted on Twitter: it all began on the 4th of February. The 23 year old tweeted his doubts about Mohammed on the Prophet's birthday, including a post in which he said he would not bow to the Prophet, worship him. Comments deemed insulting and that have triggered an avalanche of reactions and also threats.
The Saudi Minister of Information has announced all of the country's publications have been banned from publishing any articles by the columnist. And a prominent cleric, Sheikh Nasser al-Omar appeared on the television, weeping, condemning the comments which he considers to be blasphemous. He even asked for Hamza Kashgari to be executed.
The blogger apologized for his comments and deleted the offending tweets, but this did little to calm the storm. So he decided to flee the country and head to New Zealand, but he was arrested by local authorities on Thursday when he stopped over in Malaysia, and the Malaysian government extradited him back to Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
The online community has since become very vocal in its concern for the blogger who could be facing the death penalty. Web users from all over the world have joined this Facebook group, calling for his release. Human Rights groups are also being extremely active. Amnesty International considers Hamza Kashgari as a prisoner of conscience since he is being detained for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression.
Barack Obama continues his re-election campaign
With the republican candidates still vying for the GOP nomination to take on Barack Obama in November's presidential election, the current President continues his reelection campaign, and the majority of his campaigning is taking place on the web.
The White House communications team has posted this video online, looking back over key stages of Barack Obama's time in power, from his early speeches during the Democrat primaries to his election in November 2008. The video concludes by saying that his work is not yet completed, so Obama should be re-elected so he can finish what he started.
As was the case in 2008, Barack Obama is counting on his vast network of grassroots campaigners to help lead him to victory in November. He has released a number of campaign ads like this one, in which he urges supporters to start campaigning now, by, for example, organizing local meetings to persuade voters to grant him a second term in office.
And Obama's campaign team has also decided to respond to the countless attacks from the Republican camp. This video was recently posted online and slams their attitude, saying they are so obsessed with defeating Barack Obama that they have not actually come up with a political program to get the country back on track.
And the American President is targeting Mitt Romney in particular. Barack Obama has just launched an online fundraising initiative to fund his re-election campaign. It is in reality a direct response to this site set up by Romney which has the sole objective of stopping Obama from another four years at the White House.
Barack Obama's playlist
Rock, country and soul. These are the musical genres dominating Barack Obama's official playlist. The web site Spotify has released a list of the 28 tracks which will accompany the American president's re-election campaign. And no sooner were they published, than they were analyzed. An article on the web site for The Atlantic magazine says this list of songs gives an indication of the different categories of voters Barack Obama is hoping to win over in the coming months.
Now trending on social networks
The European Space Agency successfully launched its new rocket Vega on Monday, and has since become a popular trending topic on social networks. Space exploration enthusiasts' watched Vega blast off from the Kourou spaceport in French Guyana as it was broadcast live on the Internet. The rockets main mission will be to take multiple small satellites into orbit. The event received a great deal of online coverage and has been hailed by web users as a great success for the European Space Agency.
Video of the day
The state of West Bengal in North-eastern India has released this tourism commercial made entirely using shadow puppetry. The ad is called "Let Calcutta surprise you" and hopes to attract visitors to the region, and more specifically to the capital Calcutta, by conveying the riches and delights it has to offer.

Authorities searching nationwide for man sexually assaulting child on video
POSTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013 - 9:35am
UPDATED: Thursday, September 26, 2013 - 11:24am
Texas officials join 8+year search for man
(KTSM) — Texas authorities have joined other law enforcement agencies across the nation in the search for a mysterious man who is sexually assaulting a child and using her for pornographic images.
Crimes Stoppers is asking people to share pictures via social media networks of the man pictured above. The ongoing investigation into the sexual assault case began at least eight years ago when she was approximately 3-years-old.
Video of the girl first appeared on the Internet in 2005, and since then, various police agencies across North America have attempted to identify the man and victim. It is believed the video was made somewhere in North America and that the girl is likely between 10- to 12-years of age today.
The man is described as Caucasian, approximately 180 to 200 pounds, with brown hair. He has a distinctive dark circular mark on his right forearm and a ring on his left hand.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact their local police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
Wanted man:
