The 4-year-old boy who died from injuries received in a quad
bike crash was Timothy George MacAvoy, from Ashburton.
Police said the death was a tragic reminder of the need for
caution with young children and farm vehicles on rural
The crash occurred on April 27 near Tai Tapu, and the boy
died at Starship Hospital, Auckland, on Saturday.
The boy had been visiting a relative's farm, just east of Tai
Tapu township, with his family, police said.
Canterbury road policing manager Inspector Al Stewart said
the circumstances of the crash were yet to be determined.
But inquiries indicate the boy had been riding in front of a
relative, a man aged in his 60s.
The bike was being driven down a gentle grassed slope and
struck a tie-down strung between two trees, after one of the
trees had blown down in a recent storm.
Both were flung from the bike. The boy suffered severe spinal
injuries and was taken to Christchurch Hospital, before being
transferred to Starship Hospital the following day.
The adult rider suffered spinal and chest injuries and was
treated at the Burwood spinal unit before being discharged.
Mr Stewart said the incident was a reminder that children are
vulnerable when using quad bikes or other farm vehicles.
"It is a tragedy when a young life is lost in such
circumstances. In any situation, the combination of farm
vehicles and young children is a potentially hazardous one,"
he said.
"Police and rural community leaders have been consistent in
urging farmers and rural residents to be extra vigilant and
to avoid putting children at risk."
The investigation into the crash is continuing. No decision
has been yet been made on whether any charges will be laid.

"TOO Informative. Read this book before going on vacation and I couldn't find my cruise liner in the port. Vacation ruined."
"Captain Trimmer's other excellent titles: How to Avoid a Train, and How to Avoid the Empire State Building"
"- Do not charge the huge ship at full speed in an attempt to scare it off. This may work with coyotes, but it is less effective with huge ships.
- Similarly, do not roll your boat over and play dead. Unless the huge ship is captained by a grizzly bear, this will not work.
- Do not attempt to go under the huge ship. This is typically not successful.
- Do not attempt to jump over the huge ship."
"Given the amount of dog mess that is on the pavements I thought this book would be the ideal read to stop me having to scrape my shoes on the grass before going home. It was only after it arrived that I looked closely at the title and realised it said 'How to Avoid Huge SHIPS'."

Vernacular Press Act of 1878
Vernacular Press Act of 1878
The Vernacular Press Act was passed on 1878 to suppress the freedom of Indian Press against the British Government.
The history of Indian independence, starting from the farthest 17th century with the British arrival to Indian ports, was never looked as serious threat. In fact, British entry into India had commenced with a very different aspect of trading and establishing business ties with Indian royals and imperial homes. However, as time passed by,
British East Company
was established in the early years of 18th century, which was significant to rewrite Indian history to a considerable extent. The shrewd officers serving the Company slowly gathered momentum in the sly, to take over the country as a whole and establish firm English administration. With the historic
Sepoy Mutiny
in 1857, the Company rule abolished, thereby directly annexing the country directly under the Queen's rule from England. By this period, revolutionaries and nationalists had yelled the cry to freedom until death, resolving never to yield 'native' blood under British pressure.
Significant occurrences had passed by since the late 19th century, with umpteen Indians joining the battle cry for freedom from the supremely painful and deceitful British domination. Aggression and disorder, unruliness was the order of the day, the British high-rankers sadistically enjoying every moment of Indian slavery and repression. After the infamous Indigo Rebellion, the agitation for freedom movement in India gained greater momentum. Meanwhile, a bunch of natives, educated and intelligent enough to learn the English mode of ruling, had wholly grasped the clandestine English policy of divide and rule. Hence, English education among the new generation of native people brought fresh light of ideas and testament to fight against the British Government and achieve independence. In order to attain such a high-flying mission in near future, young guns as well as olds, had to chalk out a desperate way to reach the Indian mass in every remote corner. This led to publishing and printing of vernacular and local language newspapers from secret hide-outs. The law could still not touch these wondrous men, making British commissions worried to take immediate action. Seditious spreading of news would not do well to the rulers in the long run. Anti-English sentiments were spreading by the hour in India, and vernacular journalism was slowly getting stronger to convey the aspiration of independence to the common people.
In this terrible light, the Vernacular Press Act was passed to forcibly suppress the freedom of native press in the year 1878. Vernacular Press Act, 1878 was looked at as an exceedingly debatable measure, quashing the autonomy of vernacular press. Viceroy
Lord Lytton
is significantly noted for his most disputed press policy, which led to the enactment of the Vernacular Press Act on 14 March, 1878. He was of the opinion that vernacular press was directly provocative for rebellion against the
British Empire
. Earlier, the
Dramatic Performances Act
, 1876 was passed to quash the writing and representing of the allegedly subversive plays, which Britishers looked at as creating anti-administrative from every angle. Vernacular Press Act (1878) was aimed at quashing inflammatory propaganda through vernacular newspapers. While introducing the Bill, the Law Member of the Council had actually recounted how the vernacular newspapers and periodicals were circularising inflammatory propaganda against the authorities. Viceroy Lord Lytton strongly had stigmatised 'native' newspapers published in the vernacular and local languages as "mischievous scribblers preaching open sedition". He also had willfully commented that the averred intention of most of the vernacular newspapers was to put an end to the British Raj.
The newspapers that made the government most disturbed and hurriedly pass the Vernacular Press Act in 1878, were Somprakash, Sulabh Samachar, Halisahar Patrika, Amrita Bazar Patrika, Bharat Mihir, Dacca Prakash, Sadharani and Bharat Sanskarak. The said papers were declared and acknowledged to have been topping the inflammatory movement against the government. Vernacular Press Act had dictated its foremost rule to submit to the police every proof sheet of substances of papers prior to publication. The crux of the seditious news was ordained to be determined by the police and significantly not by the judiciary. Under the Vernacular Press Act, several newspapers were penalised, with their editors being send off behind the bars.
Quite evidently, this highly controversial inhibitory measure contained in the Vernacular Press Act came under brutal criticism. Every native association, regardless of religion, caste and creed, condemned the measure publicly and kept their condemnations and protestations alive. Each outstanding leader from Bengal and India decried the Act as uncalled-for and entirely unjustified and demanded for its straightaway pullout. The newspapers and creator of news themselves kept on audaciously criticising the oppressive measure without an end. The nationalists truly were forever bold in facing the wrath from the forefront, never once wavering to oust Vernacular Press Act, along with the makers. The upcoming administration of
Lord Ripon
re-examined the developments, in the light of an inflamed unruly India, consequent upon which the Act was finally withdrawn.

About This Video
Type : Music Video
Views : 16623
This Movie Info
Release Date :November 21, 2008
Studio :Summit Entertainment
Director :Catherine Hardwicke
Starring :Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change.
Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program)
This program is used in our schools so that seniors or retirees can help out our school system.We hear about budget cuts taking place and losing staff and we as a community need to ask what can we do to help our schools?Our children and grandchildren deserve the best eduaction we can give them.Ask your schools what we can do to help even if it is only one hour a week.There are many opportunities in the schools,read to the children,work in the library,help in the cafeteria. Baldwin City we are in a crisis in our schools,what are we going to do to make sure our children get the best we can give them?
greyghost 5 years, 5 months ago
"Our children and grandchildren deserve the best eduaction we can give them."
No, please, they don't deserve THAT!
jmyrick 5 years, 5 months ago
Notmyname, you make an excellent point. Personnel cuts are coming for the schools and help will be needed. We are again faced with "do more with less." The community does need to rally and I applaud you for leading the way.
BaldwinDad 5 years, 5 months ago
It really is admirable of you to do something like this for the children.
What would be really refreshing is if the state or federal govt would see people doing this sort of program voluntarily and then give back to these volunteers with tax credits for their time donated.
sportsfan 5 years, 5 months ago
Great and generous idea. If you are an organized group, you should present this concept to the school board. What expertise do members of the group have? From reading to kids to talking about life experiences to specific academic topics. Tutors would be welcome. I think the teachers would appreciate having a pool of presenters to choose from. At least, I hope so.

35 year old woman | Garland, TX, USA | Seeking men 31-45 within 250 miles
I only want something real. No games or lies. Just old fashioned honesty. Simple and pure!
I want a man who understands that I'm not perfect and that I'm a work in progress. Who is willing to grow and learn with me. I don't want to be a man's option nor his choice I'd rather be his DREAM! I'm tired of meeting the same kind of man so anyone who is extraordinary and ready for something real is probably a better fit for me. I want the exception to the rule. At this point in life I'm tired of dating. I'm a down to earth woman who's had her fair share of ups and downs but I'm still optimistic. I'm told by most to know me is to love me. I love meeting new people and I'm very outgoing. Now the type of man I'm looking for is someone down to earth as well, cool and easy to get along with, drama free, God fearing and is looking for a commitment as well. Now by all means I know that you must establish a friendship first so I'm not looking to rush into anything, I just know that I'm in search of the right man for me. I'm already COMPLETE, So I'm not looking for anyone to complete me, rather I'm looking for a healthy addition. Now with that said a man is measured by his actions and not his words and I'm a woman of action not of words so I can show you better than I can tell you and I'm looking for the same in a man.

New York Film Critics Circle has picked Paul Greengrass's United 93 as the best picture of the year. ("Should Hollywood be in the 9/11 business?" wondered New York's David Edelstein, one of the Circle's 27 members, when the film came out. "Only if it can make movies like United 93." He went on to call it "brilliant, tightly focused, and momentous.") But here's the question: Does the picture — a stark, minimalist retelling of the passenger revolt that brought down the flight — stand a chance at the big awards show on the other coast? For now, we can only go on the Circle's track record.
Although the NYFCC's Website calls its awards "harbingers of Oscar nominations," they're more like harbingers of the token indie nod that goes nowhere when actual gold statuettes start changing hands: Mulholland Drive to the Academy's A Beautiful Mind, that sort of thing. Overall, in the last ten years, the New York critics augured the Best Picture Oscar winner exactly once — 2003's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In 2005, when our city's professional cinéastes fell for sentimental favorite Brokeback Mountain, Crash won in a truly upsetting upset. Even when NYFCC went mainstream in 1997 (picking Saving Private Ryan), the Oscar, in one of the industry's biggest WTF moments, went to Shakespeare in Love. With this kind of clout, well, the New York critics might owe Greengrass an apology.

You've probably read the story of a carpenter in my last column "Are You a Member of Club 99" and I asked you to consider whether or not you are a part of the club. Let's look at this second concluding part for the answer and understand it better.
Are you a member of club 99?
Yes, you are a member of Club 99 if you have sufficient amount of money to take care of your basic necessities but you still crave for that extra coin and justify yourself by saying that the moment you get that extra coin, you will be happy in life.
Why do you unconsciously fall for it?
As you are aware, one can be happy with all the little things in life yet the same does not hold true for most people. What happens in reality is the opposite because the irony lies in the way you behave - which means the moment you are presented with something bigger or better, you start losing sleep over it, and ultimately, your happiness. Like the carpenter, you may hurt the people around you while chasing your growing needs and fall into the trap of 99.
Why is it a trap?
It is a myth to think that the next big thing like buying a bigger house or a bigger car will satisfy you; because the moment you own one, you may want the next big one and that exactly is the trap. This is how the story of Club 99 and the analogy relate to your financial planning as well.
Can you avoid the trap and be freed from club 99 membership?
Yes, by understanding the importance of "where to stop" rather than deciding "where to start" especially when it comes to your financial life. So rather than going for the best car or a dream house that you intend to buy in future, and working your financial planning around with steps to achieve these goals, you should focus on deciding your basic minimum needs like the kind of a basic car and a house you ought to have.
Even more important factors are to decide about your child's education/ marriage and your retirement. You don't need people like us (financial planners or CAs) to tell you what kind of lifestyle you want for yourself and your family; it is you who needs to take that call, ultimately. The moment you are clear and focused about your basic minimum financial needs i.e. where to draw a line, it will be very simple to ascertain the road map to achieve your goals.
Life will be too difficult if your basic needs are not satisfied and fulfilled, so you need to go that extra mile to achieve it soon. Once you are financially done from your basic responsibilities then you can always strive to chase the next big thing like the best car, dream house or that extra coin.

Cast:Vinod Khanna, Suniel Shetty, Vipinno, Roopali Krishnarao. Director: Ashu Trika Rating:*
What's it about:
Koyelaanchal is a failed attempt to use the backdrop of the coal mines to create a dramatic story between a maifa lord (Vinod Khanna) and a district collector (Suniel Shetty). There are the regular expected supporting characters, the action, over the top dialogues and theatrics to make it a masala movie.
What's hot:
Vinod Khanna has a few well written scenes which he delivers while Suniel Shetty too despite the weak plot and bad writing manages to create an impression. Set in Jharkhand the film manages to create the right mood and atmosphere for its big scenes.
What's not:
Despite the interesting subject the film is stuck in the 90's in its treatment and execution. There is no flow to the events and songs and characters pop out of nowhere. The second half and climax are marred by some hamming and bad acting by the supporting cast.Wanting to ape and mimic the formula of Gangs of Wasseypur the film fails to create its own identity.
What to do:
Marred by a bad script and lacklustre production value, this one is worth giving a skip.

by Permission to LiveThis post is part of a series of nine posts. Please click here to start with the series Introduction.I had always been under the impression that LGBTQ people were a new phenomenon. That the population of gay and transgender people had really taken off during the modern age those "godless" sixties. And that before it had become "cool" to be gay, virtually no one was. But that wasn't making sense anymore. Even today, being queer continues to unleash considerable bias and discrimination. Kids are still routinely getting kicked out of their homes for admitting they are gay or trans. I couldn't see any benefit to coming out as LGBTQ unless that really was who that pers … [Read more...]
Unwrapping the Onion: Part 4: When It Doesn't Add Up
Debunking the Fourteen Basic Needs of a Marriage: Part 2a
by Incongruous CircumspectionMake sure to familiarize yourself with the first Basic Need of a Husband, according to Bill Gothard - A man needs a wife who is loyal and supportive. You can read my response to this nonsense here:Introduction Part 1a Part 1b: Women? Goals? Who are YOU Kidding?! Part 1c: Men are Fragile and Women are Manipulative Fools Part 1d: Husbands are Omniscient and Wives Must Give SexNow, let's move on to the next Basic Need of a Husband.[#2. A man needs a wife who honors his leadership.]In my opinion, Bill is padding the numbers to get to God's "perfect number" of seven. Honoring the husband's leadership is only slightly different than the first … [Read more...]
Emotional Incest Part 4: The Pain
by Libby AnneIn Part 1 I discussed the definition of emotional incest, in Part 2 I discussed its relationship with Christian Patriarchy, and in Part 3 I pointed out just how easy it is to slip into the harmful emotionally incestuous dynamics (the "daddy's girl" effect). I am now going to turn to the problems and pain emotional incest causes.But first, I want to note that emotional incest can happen in any family (not just one involved in Christian Patriarchy) and that it can happen with sons as well as with daughters. In focusing as I have on daughters, and also on Christian Patriarchy, I have of necessity left a lot out.Emotional incest causes a multitude of problems, but I'm onl … [Read more...]
Emotional Incest: The Bottom Line
by Sierra[Editors' note: At the time of writing, Libby Anne and Sierra were unaware of the controversy surrounding Hugo Schwyzer. The discussion of his critique of emotional incest is not an endorsement of Schwyzer by NLQ.]My last two posts, and indeed all my thinking on the subject has led me to some conclusions about the ways that Christian Patriarchy and purity culture enable and even celebrate emotional incest. The following are the cliff notes:Christian patriarchy turns marriage from a relationship to an institution, effectively reversing the historical trend from business partnerships and heir insurance to bonds between two free agents based on love. Evangelical culture … [Read more...]
Emotional Incest Part 2: The Botkins
by Libby AnneAfter discussing the definition of Emotional Incest in Part 1, I am now going to address the way the teachings of leading Christian Patriarchy organization Vision Forum and its close affiliates, the Botkins, essentially mandate emotional incest.Vision Forum teaches that adult daughters are to stay at home until they marry. More than that, it teaches that they are under their father's authority just as they will after marriage be under their husband's authority, and that well they remain at home it is their duty to adopt their father's "vision" in place of their own and serve as "helpmeets in training" to their father in preparation for serving as "helpmeets" to their futu … [Read more...]
Cereal Killers – Adventures in Recovery
by CaluluSometimes you really have to measure just how far you've come on your journey out of harmful theology. It's another part of your recovery, looking at how you handled a situation and then thinking back upon how this would have played out in your days of yore. Measure the difference and see where you instinctively line up now.This week brought another opportunity to do just that. We have ants.Here in the Virginia Piedmont it's Spring. Glorious Spring. Beautiful Spring. Yards filled with gracefully blooming daffodils and crocus, shoots of emerald green grass emerging from the red clay earth. Birds singing, trees leafing out, all that jazz.

Thirtyone – Adventures in Recovery
by CaluluI was driving around the other day running a few errands and when I got back to my car I caught the tail end of a some random preacher speaking about the proper role of women in The Kingdom on local Christian radio. I didn't catch his name or the name of his ministry or sponsor but his message was loud and clear and made my blood boil. Bulls eye. Trigger hit. Buttons pushed.He started off speaking on the subject of what his ten year old daughter wanted to be when she grew up. She's crazy for gymnastics and he asked her that question about the future we all contemplate, what did she want to be when she grew up. Her answer to that question was that she would be a gymnastics … [Read more...]
An Introduction to Paul
By PaulVyckie Garrison has asked me to write an introductory post concerning my blog, paulspassingthoughts.com, and the timing is perfect. After researching New Calvinism for five years now, I have recently discovered a relationship between New Calvinism and Patriarchy groups. This is a very significant development.New Calvinism shapes most of the Christian landscape in our day. It came out of the Progressive Adventist movement in 1970. The base doctrine is the centrality of the objective gospel outside of us. It teaches that all truth is outside of us and encapsulated in the gospel. By understanding Christ and his works in a deeper and deeper way, we manifest one of two realms, … [Read more...]
Debunking the Fourteen Basic Needs of a Marriage: Part 1b – Women? Goals? Who Are YOU Kidding!
By Incongruous CircumspectionIn Part 1a, we witnessed Bill Gothard call a woman who does not obey her husband in everything, never questioning any decision he makes, a "fool". He based this epithet on a woman while referencing Ephesians 5:22 - 24. Of course, I uncovered the fact that Bill was flat out lying. That passage says nothing of the sort.Let's continue discussing Gothard's first Basic Need of a Husband ([A man needs a wife that is loyal and supportive]).Gothard continues to expound on the above basic need by stating the following:[Realize that your husband's perspective is different than yours.]Wow. Bill is really smart. Put two or more people together and you h … [Read more...]
Why Courtship Fails: A Male's Perspective
by The GraduateAs a young man in my early twenties who grew up in conservative homeschool circles, I was excited to return home after spending four years in a Christian college. I had very little experience in dating and hadn't been in a relationship in college, but I had a good degree and a solid career lined up in front of me. My parents were excited too, because they hoped that I would be able to easily find a bride among the many single homeschool girls my family knew. I was a willing participant to their plans, but I soon found out that even with the right credentials, it was still impossible for me to come against homeschool patriarchy and perfectionism.According to Bill G … [Read more...]

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
JoeBlow Turbo compatable?
Is this compatible with the sports floor track pump?
The kit is specifically for Joe Blow Max 2 and I've got a Topeak Twinhead on a Silca pump. The seals in the kit fit perfectly, which is all I am concerned about as the seals are prone to wear at high pressure.
Pity they don't sell the seals separately, and make the whole thing a lot less expensive
Do the seals fix the body or just the head?
Unscewing the guage and sealing with a bit of plumber's ptfe, or sealing compound, might be an answer to your problem.
I have got a Silca pump with the Topeak Twinhead, so can't say for sure f this method would work with a Topeak pump
Hi does this item repair the pump head?
I have a topeak joe blow sport floor pump and the flexible hose has split - how can I get a new one?
Do this repair kit work with a Joe Blow sprint pump?

Shelf Awareness for Friday, June 22, 2012
Quotation of the Day
NBA Champion LeBron James Was 'Reading a Little Bit More'
Maybe it was the secret to his success. "For me, it's relaxing honestly. You spend so much preparation for the games, sometimes you just need to get away from it for a little bit. The reading has helped me get away from the game a little bit, and I'm able to zero in once I'm done and get ready for the games.... I wanted to try something new in this postseason honestly. I'm not watching much TV so I'm reading a little bit more.... People have seen me walking around with [books and] they've been given lists of books to read."
Pew Study: Library Patrons & E-Borrowing
While three-quarters of the nation's public libraries now offer e-book lending services, their patrons may still lack awareness of the full range of options available. A phone survey of 2,986 Americans--ages 16 and older--conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project from November 16 to December 21, 2011, found that only 12% had borrowed an e-book from a library during the previous year and 62% did not know whether their library offered e-book lending.
According to the survey, 58% of respondents have a library card and 69% consider the library important to them and their family. Also of note:
- 58% of all library cardholders do not know if their library provides e-book lending services.
- 53% of all tablet computer owners do not know if their library lends e-books.
- 48% of all owners of e-book reading devices do not know if their library lends e-books.
- 47% of all those who read an e-book in the past year do not know if their library lends e-books.
"It was a genuine surprise to see these data, especially after all of the attention that has been paid to the tension between libraries and major book publishers about whether many of the most popular books should be available for lending by libraries," said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet Project.
The Pew survey found that e-book borrowers read an average (the mean number) of 29 borrowed or purchased books during the past year in all formats (e-book, printed book, audiobook), compared to 23 books for readers who do not borrow e-books from a library. The median (midpoint) figures for books reportedly read are 20 in the past year by e-book borrowers and 12 by non-borrowers.
Asked about the most recent book they had read, 41% of those who borrow e-books from libraries purchased their most recent e-book.
Among e-book readers who also have library cards, 55% prefer to buy e-books, while 36% prefer borrowing them from any source (friends or libraries). For library card holders, 46% prefer to buy print books and 45% prefer to borrow print books. When it comes to e-book borrowers, 33% say they generally prefer to buy e-books and 57% say they generally prefer to borrow them.
Regarding e-title availability, 32% of e-book borrowers say the selection at their library is "good," 18% "very good" and 16% "excellent," with 23% calling the selection "fair," 4% "poor" and 8% saying they don't know.
Other notable findings:
- 18% of e-book borrowers say at one point or another they found that an e-book they were interested in was not compatible with the e-reading device they were using.
- 46% of those who do not currently borrow e-books from libraries would be "very" or "somewhat" likely to borrow an e-reading device that came loaded with a book they wanted to read.
- 32% of those who do not currently borrow e-books would be "very" or "somewhat" likely to take a library class on how to download e-books onto handheld devices.
- 32% of those who do not currently borrow e-books say they would be "very" or "somewhat" likely to take a course at a library in how to use an e-reader or tablet computer.
Kathryn Zickuhr, a research specialist at the Pew Internet Project, said the findings suggest ways that libraries might be able to build awareness: "First, these data show that public education campaigns might add to the numbers of those who are aware that e-books can be borrowed and enjoyed on new technology like tablet computers and e-book reading devices. Second, the data show that a share of patrons would appreciate being helped in their quest to master new devices and load e-books onto them."
ABA's New E-Book Solution: 'Number-One Immediate Goal'
The American Booksellers Association will have a new indie e-book retail solution in place for member stores "well in advance of Google's January 2013 termination of their reseller program," according to a letter from CEO Oren J. Teicher. The association aims to introduce the new program at regional booksellers association meetings this fall and at its IndieCommerce Specialty Institute September 13 in White Plains, N.Y.
Reiterating points made at the ABA annual meeting at BookExpo America (Shelf Awareness, June 6, 2012), Teicher noted that the situation has changed since 2010, when ABA and Google entered their original agreement, because "today there are many more companies operating in this arena, offering a number of options for indie booksellers regarding e-books."
Since Google's announcement in April, the ABA has "met with literally dozens of companies, and have been evaluating all of them in light of three key criteria: whether they can meet the necessary timetable, whether they have sufficient financial resources, and whether they will be able to fulfill their commitments for the full term of our partnership," Teicher wrote, adding that the goal is to have an answer by the fall: "Putting the new e-book solution in place as quickly as possible is ABA's number-one immediate goal."
World's Biggest Bookstore Update: Indigo Wants to Stay
Reports earlier this week that the iconic World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto would be closing after the lease expires at the end of 2013 may be premature. The Globe & Mail reported that Indigo Books, the current lessee and owner, "is set to fight for the retail space, which it sees as unique in its chain."
"It's a one-off store," said Drew McGowen, Indigo's v-p of real estate and development. "I realize it isn't literally the world's biggest, but you know what, it's the biggest for us. It is an absolute icon." He added that the annual lease of approximately $1.5 million has been relatively stable in recent years.
"What's going to tell the tale is whether we can do a deal with the landlord or not," said McGowen, noting that there are still 18 months before the expiration date. "It's business as usual for us. Like every single lease we have as it comes up for expiry, we do our due diligence.... That's what we're doing here."
Image of the Day: No Chaperone Required
Watermark Books & Cafe, Wichita, Kan., recently hosted an event for author Laura Moriarty, whose latest novel, The Chaperone, is about the woman who chaperoned film legend Louise Brooks to New York City in 1922. A surprise member of the audience was Rosie Brooks, the actress's niece, who brought her aunt's copy of Schopenhauer's essays, which Moriarty portrays Louise reading in the novel. The copy even has Brooks's bookplate. Pictured from l. to r.: Watermark's Beth Golay (in Louise Brooks wig), Brooks, Moriarty and Watermark's Sarah Bagby.

Quick Read, Literally: The Book That Can't Wait
Argentinian publisher Eterna Cadencia has come up with an innovative, even preemptive, method to address the age-old issue of a paper book's tendency to disintegrate over time. The Digital Reader reported that one of the publisher's titles, The Book That Can't Wait, is an anthology featuring work new Latin American authors, "but the most important detail about this book is that it is printed with disappearing ink."
Within two months of being exposed to air, the ink in the book, which is sold in a sealed bag, will oxidize and disappear, forcing the owner "to read the book in a timely fashion," the Digital Reader noted.
Neal Stephenson's Kickstarter Pitch: 'Guitar Hero, with Swords'
Author Neal Stephenson has launched a Kickstarter campaign "to help fund a motion-controlled sword-fighting game called Clang. It will be, according to the pitch, 'Guitar Hero, with swords,' " Wired magazine reported, noting that the inspiration for the project "comes from Stephenson's self-confessed swordsmanship geekery, combined with his dissatisfaction with how sword-fighting is portrayed in current games."
"We're ready," said Stephenson. "We've got geeks in suits of armor, we've got geeks in front of computer workstations, we've got a lot of people out there who like playing games with sword fighting in them who might be ready to step it up to something more interesting."

Book Brahmin: Matthew Batt
Matthew Batt is the author of the memoir Sugarhouse, just out from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. He and his wife were having a really crappy year--as was pretty much everybody they knew. Their best friends and family were all getting divorced and/or having babies and/or dying. But instead of giving in and splitting up, Matt and Jenae settled down and bought the best house they could afford. It just so happened it was a crack house. Or at least that's what the new neighbors said. All they knew was that it was a disaster and they were about as prepared to deal with that as they were their semi-midlife crises. But why, they humbly asked, should not knowing what you're doing stop you from doing it? Batt's hilarious book is all about fixing up a house, a life and a marriage.
Batt was born in Colorado, and grew up just outside of Milwaukee, Wis. He did an MFA (i.e., waited upon hundreds of thousands of tables) and has managed to get a job teaching English and creative writing in St. Paul, Minn., where (spoiler alert!) he and Jenae live with their four-year-old son.
On your nightstand now:
Germinal by Zola, in the original French, of course. Or wait. Do I have to be honest? Well, then it's Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. I've actually been running a lot--I'm doing this nutty 50-mile deal in a few weeks--and so it's comforting to know there are a bunch of other insane people. Isn't that really what all books are for? To make insane people feel less alone?
Favorite book when you were a child:
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, I think. Reading it now to my son, I realize how literal a metaphor for love it really is, but nonetheless how actually close to the truth is was for what my mom did for me growing up.
Your top five authors:
Dave Eggers, David Foster Wallace (the essays, not so much the fiction), Billy Collins, Jon Krakauer, Henry David Thoreau.
Book you've faked reading:
Milton's Paradise Lost. Whenever I get stuck needing to pretend like I've read it, I always come back to the one line of the poem I managed to remember: "Sufficient to have stood though free to fall." In most circles that passes as having read the whole thing. At the very least, you can always deflect people. But what about Satan's portrayal as a kind of hero, they might ask. Or what about Eve's seeming complicity? What about Adam's obsession with fruit? "Sufficient to have stood..." you begin, nodding knowingly.
Book you're an evangelist for:
So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell. It's such a perfect little book. I just love how it takes as its central moment two once-familiar boys passing in a high school hallway and cracks it open to reveal pretty much the entirety of human life--but not in some sprawling, grandiose Proustian way. Just in a little sliver of a book that nonetheless manages to capture all of human experience.
Book you've bought for the cover:
Rambo. I'd include the author, but it was the novelization of the movie. I was probably nine years old. What can I say? I was thinking, What could possibly be better than this classic example of American cinema? Why, the book! (I was wrong, of course, on both counts.) I learned two things here: that books don't have to be good, and that the combination of terrible writing and the act of reading while in a moving car make me physically sick to my stomach.
Book that changed your life:
It was some Hardy Boys book--The Mysterious Case of the Unpeelable Banana or some such--and I read it all in one sitting, under the covers, of course, with a flashlight. The whole shooting match. My favorite books as a kid were really, somewhat sadly, TV. Knight Rider, probably. Possibly also The A-Team. Fantasy Island. But definitely not Three's Company. Man, did that show stress me out. Still does. Anyway, that Hardy Boys book was the first time I discovered that there was a universe inside our heads that can be tapped into with nothing but some smudges on an otherwise clean piece of paper. Pretty miraculous when it comes right down to it. My taste has changed somewhat over the years, but that experience was a real game changer for me.
Favorite line from a book:
"Tell Leif you're the names of things." That's the last line of Robert Hass's poem "Letter" from his first collection, Field Guide. Man, do I love a love poem that doesn't suck. Almost all of them do, of course. "Letter," however, is beatific.
Book you most want to read again for the first time:
The Catcher in the Rye. Now that I know what fencing is.
Book Review
Review: Gold
Gold by Chris Cleave (Simon & Schuster, $27 hardcover, 9781451672725, July 3, 2012)
Chris Cleave's Gold spins a tire-ripping velodrama out of two subjects underrepresented in novels: the head-games of Olympic track cycling and the heart-splitting demands faced by female athletes who try to balance motherhood and elite competition in their peak physical years. Despite its unusual subject matter, Gold is not an esoteric novel; readers who don't know an individual pursuit from a keirin will be able to feel the excitement in Cleave's clearly depicted racing scenes and readers who are devotees of high-stakes emotional triangles will find much to untangle.
While the disparate athletic and relationship motivations of lone ranger Zoe Castle and her married teammates Kate Meadows and Jack Argall are complicated by a long-running friendship/rivalry, the novel's deepest human resonance is pumped up by eight-year-old Sophie Argall, whose reliance on a Star Wars fantasy life as she strives to be a champion leukemia patient is depicted with beguiling tough-tenderness.
Cleave shares Gold's stream-of-consciousness perspective among all his main protagonists, as well dipping into the mind of their crusty Australian coach, to yield a many-spoked view of what makes them surge or fall back. The timeline of Gold spans three Olympic Games, beginning with a short set piece in Athens before it focuses on the three athletes' preparations for London 2012, when Zoe, Kate and Jack are all 32 and vying for what is probably their final chance to compete for gold. Cleave, impressed by the physical attributes of his racers, touches frequently on the superhuman theme and how the cyclists meld back into everyday life after performing incredible feats in the velodrome. Gold is further enriched with scenes from the past, including a compelling flashback to the trio's first encounter at a youth selection tournament when they were 19, a high-tension Beijing Olympics and a late plot revelation whose tardiness feels only slightly disingenuous.
To an American reader, the celebrity of British track cyclists might seem far-fetched, and to any cycling fan the dearth of doping references might seem blinkered. Sophie's wisdom (surely the name is intentional) seems one precocious level too far, even for a child-medical-warrior, and the plot has to ratchet through a lot of gears, but Gold is still well worth the ride for its contextual details, its generous supply of dramatic scenes and the steadiness of Cleave's storytelling pulse. --Holloway McCandless, blogger at Litagogo: A Guide to Free Literary Podcasts
Shelf Talker: The author of Little Bee returns with a heart-racing novel about Olympic rivalry, complicated friendships and high-stakes medical parenting.
Deeper Understanding
Robert Gray: Mission Accomplished--I'm Reading Russia
"The only way to reach the American reader is to have the books translated so well they read like they were written in English," said Olga Slavnikova (far right in photo) during a panel discussion called "Contemporary Writers on the Russian Classics," which was held at the New York Public Library June 5, as part of the Read Russia 2012 initiative. Also on the panel were Maya Kucherskaya, Dimitry Bykov and German Sadulaev.
As guest of honor and focus of BookExpo America's Global Market Forum, Russia showcased more than 50 writers, publishers, librarians, journalists and historians in New York City this month.
Some of the news during Read Russia 2012 was headline worthy, like Overlook Press's announcement of an ambitious Russian Library project and Natalia Solzhenitsyn's presentation on the vast Solzhenitsyn Archive. They were big stories, but the stated goal of Read Russia was to attract more American readers for the country's contemporary authors. As one of those potential readers, I had my own expectations regarding the mission and documented them before the show. What did I want from Read Russia? "The answer is deceptively simple: to discover..."
Mission accomplished.
First, I read Slavnikova's fine story "Basileus" in Read Russia: An Anthology of New Voices, distributed free during BEA at Read Russia's 4,000-square-foot display area. Now I'm looking forward to the paperback edition of her novel 2017, which Overlook Press will publish later this year.
Then it was on to Bykov. During the NYPL event, he was discussing the work of Maxim Gorky when he suggested--with tongue planted firmly in cheek--that there were three ways to attract the world's attention to contemporary Russian literature, and Gorky had tried to take advantage of them all a century ago. The first strategy was active government propaganda, the second was to start a revolution and the third was to "write very well, and that's the one we're aiming for right now."
I read Bykov's bone-chilling story "Mozharovo" in the anthology and was immediately primed for more of his narrative voice: "So here they are, the sirens of Mozharovo. These are the people we can't go out and see. We've fenced ourselves off from our own people with steel bars, and we sit here scoffing Strasbourg pâté."
During BEA, the Read Russia booth lured me back again and again with its own siren song (a good one). Often the events were quiet and intimate moments of grace in the midst of the general cacophony that is the Javits Center.
I celebrated Pushkin's birthday there while listening to a pair of young Russian writers read his poems in their native language, followed by Julian Henry Lowenfeld (My Talisman: The Poetry & Life of Alexander Pushkin) reading the translations.
"For several generations Pushkin was a secret code, the key to the preservation of the human in this bedeviled country," wrote Mikhail Shishkin in his Read Russia anthology contribution, "The Half-Belt Overcoat." At a discussion about the Big Book Prize--which he won last year--someone asked if he communicates with many American authors. "My conversation with an American writer takes place in his book," he said. I like that.
I'm currently reading Shishkin's extraordinary novel Maidenhair (Open Letter). From his anthology essay, I learned the book was inspired by his mother's diary as well as the life of singer Izabella Yurieva: "I wanted to write about what I had felt and understood thanks to Mum's diary. I started writing about Bella.... Little of the singer's life remains--there are no diaries no memoirs, leaving us with no more than a spare outline of her life story. In those years people were afraid of their own past--it was impossible to tell what might later put you in mortal danger."
Thus the critical importance of the Solzhenitsyn Archive. A compelling image I retain in memory--as well as photographic form--is of Natalia Solzhenitsyn being interviewed near a Read Russia display focusing upon her late husband.
"What is surprising is how much of the archive is still intact," she had said at one point during her presentation. Reflecting upon the dangerous vagaries of his life, she also noted that he never sought to build a personal library and "loved short pencils," which were easier to hide.
We must treasure what we still have. My quest to "Read Russia" is underway and I can tell already it's going to be one hell of a ride. --Robert Gray, contributing editor (column archives available at Fresh Eyes Now)

One-Crust Fruit Pie
ready in: over 2 hrs
serves/makes: 6
recipe id: 6157
add photo
★ review it!
For the Crust
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons all-vegetable shortening (Crisco), chilled
4 tablespoons ice water, more as needed
For the Fruit Filling
2 cups ripe summer fruit (berries, peaches, plums)
4 tablespoons sugar
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
For the crust: Cut the butter into 3/4-inch pieces and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Place the shortening in 1-tablespoon lumps into the food processor along with the frozen butter pieces. Pulse about 8 times (1-second pulses) or until the dough appears slightly yellow, pebbly in texture, and the butter is reduced to very small pieces, the size of peas or smaller. Check the dough after 5 pulses and every pulse thereafter. Turn the mixture into a medium bowl. (This dough can also be made by hand. Use your fingers to work the butter and shortening into the flour.)
Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of the ice water over the mixture. With the blade of a large rubber spatula, use a folding motion to mix, then press down on the dough with the broad side of the spatula until the dough sticks together, adding more water if the dough will not come together. (Do NOT worry about adding more water; add as much as you need to make sure that the dough easily comes together and is moist. If the outside of the dough becomes wet, simply flour it before you wrap it in plastic.) Work slowly, mixing the dough to evenly distribute the water. This should take about 1 minute. Shape the dough into a ball with your hands, then flatten it into a 4-inch-wide disk. Dust lightly with flour, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. For the fruit: Prepare the fruit and place it in a medium bowl. (The berries just need to be washed and then dried with paper towels. Stone fruits such as peaches or plums can be skinned or not, pitted, and then sliced thinly.)
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a sheet of parchment paper. (If the dough is hard to roll out - if it falls apart - place it in a medium bowl and add a couple of teaspoons of water. Mix gently with your fingers until the dough is moist. Add more water if you have to. Shape it into a disk and flour it lightly. Now roll it out again.) Or, roll it out on any lightly floured work surface and then transfer to a baking sheet. Toss the fruit with the sugar and place it in the middle of the dough, leaving a 2 1/2-inch border all around. Drape the border up over the fruit in overlapping folds. Note that some of the fruit will remain uncovered. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crust is very brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool for at least an hour before serving. Slice into wedges and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
