The Price River Water Improvement District board confirmed on Tuesday its intentions to pursue a rate increase before the end of the year. Various figures have been thrown around by the board since financial advisers pointed to the need to increase revenues in August.
At the Sept. 19 meeting, the board reviewed the need to increase rates and heard a report from district staff outlining a proposed rate increase which came out of a work meeting one week earlier.
Jeff Richens, assistant director for the water district, presented the information reflecting that rate proposal and provided additional information regarding the need for rates to be increased.
The district received advice from financial advisers to raise rates, and the board has repeatedly recognized the need to raise rates. Now the question is by how much and when. The district is unable to meet its financial obligations unless it generates new revenue.
"If we're not going to raise rates, what are the reasons?" asked Keith Cox, who chairs the board.
That's a question Cox would like to have answered as the board prepares to vote on a rate increase in the next month or so. Board members Richard Tatton, representing Price, and Mike Dalpiaz, representing Helper were absent. the remaining board members felt uncomfortable heading into a public comment period without the two absent board members.
Cox urged the board to make a decision on how to proceed at the next meeting, scheduled for Oct. 3. If the board votes in favor of a rate increase proposal, the district will begin a public comment period, with a public hearing and final vote as early as November.
Board member Tom Matthews said the district has not been irresponsible in getting to this position; rather, the PRWID board has been hesitant to raise rates and has been cutting costs in other places.
"We're not bad managers," said Matthews. "We've just been absorbing the costs."
Last year, the water department generated just over $1 million in revenue from water rates generated by 1,769 retail customers and 1,117 wholesale connections. Wholesale users include Wellington, and the Spring Glen and Pinnacle canal companies.
The largest expenses for water was $471,700 for the water treatment plant in Price Canyon. The water and sewer departments share the fleet and maintenance departments. As a result, the operational costs of the two departments are split evenly between the water and sewer department. The water department's share of the maintenance department budget last year was $377,500, with $176,000 going to the fleet department.
Between those three areas, all of the revenue for the district, and then some, is consumed. Still there are other water-related expenses that must be paid.
The district currently has roughly $20 million in outstanding debt. Each of the bonds that make up the debt require annual payments. From the water department, annual payments last year totaled $374,800. That figure does not include the district's general obligation bond. The general obligation bond is funded entirely by a mil levy on district-wide property taxes.
The district is required under the terms of its bonds to maintain a bond reserve fund. Last year's reserve fund requirement was $285,375.
District staff included a modest $20,000 capital project reserve in the figures presented on Tuesday. Richens later said capital projects generally will cost more than that amount. For comparison, he pointed out that the water line replacement on 1100 West, just east of Carbonville Road was completed at a cost of approximately $20,000. He stated that the relatively small project included roughly 750 feet of pipe.
The final expense presented to the district related to a 1.25 percent bond coverage requirement set by one of the district's bonds funded by the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board. Currently, the district is not meeting that requirement. Staff suggested that a four-year goal to generate those funds may be achievable. As a result, Richens included an expense of $78,500 to go toward the bond coverage requirement.
In the end, the district shows a $761,773 deficit in the water department. With a total revenue of $1,022,102, that deficit is greater than three-fourths of the total revenue for the department.
Similar, though less serious, figures also come out of the sewer department. The sewer department generated $1.7 million in revenue from customers last year. Close to $600,000 was spent at the sewer plant. Maintenance costs totaled $377,500, while fleet costs came to $176,000. On sewer revenue bonds, the district spent $612,000, leaving the district in the black by $20,500. Bond reserves state that the district maintain a reserve fund of more than $250,000. District staff again included a modest $20,000 capital project reserve and $96,000, representing one-fourth of the 1.25 percent coverage requirement.
After all expenses are taken out, the district is in the red $348,475.
After a work meeting last week, Dalpiaz had suggested a rate structure for water users. He had suggested bringing the base rate up to $22 for 6,000 gallons and suggested adding $1.50 per 1,000 gallons for overage from 7,000 to 40,000 gallons. He added $2 per 1,000 gallons for overage from 41,000 to 100,000 gallons and $2.50 per 1,000 gallons for usage above 100,000 gallons.
Based on an average overage of 10,000 gallons, the figures presented by Dalpiaz would generate $785,436 from retail users and $272,094 from wholesale users, for a grand total of $1,057,530, a paltry $35,428 more than last year's revenues.
The figures presented by Dalpiaz do not generate the funds necessary for the district to climb out of its deficit. Staff again suggested figures closer to those presented by district financial advisers in August.
In the materials presented by Richens, staff suggested a sewer increase of at least $3.65 per connection this year with an additional $1.82 in 2008.
One idea that has been thrown around a couple of times is increasing the rate on overages. the problem with that idea is that consumers will generally consume less and the anticipated revenue will generally be lower. Further, areas with secondary water systems tend to generate less revenue in overages.
Matthews suggested lowering the amount of water included with the base rate. By lowering that amount and keeping the base rate roughly where it is, the district can count on families using more. It can hit those users and the larger water users with bigger increases, and leave rates lower for small users. That way, customers still have the option of conserving to save money and the rate increases will tend to impact working adults and companies more than they do lower income families and retired seniors.
No matter the amount, board members present on Tuesday agreed that the rates will need to be increased. The board is also looking at restructuring its bonds with the CIB, in an effort to lower payments.
Board members are also hesitant to impose a dramatic rate increase. Wellington Mayor Karl Houskeeper said that if the district raises its rates too much, it will generate the reserve funds it needs and end up with a surplus in a few years, with customers paying unduly higher rates.
However, the district could likely put any surplus to good use.
"There are needs now that we keep pushing back," said Richens.
Some board members favor a more modest rate increase, which will generate funds over a longer time span. By imposing a lower rate increase, it may take the district six or eight years to come up with funds that, under staff recommendations, would take only four.
In the meantime, however, the district would likely not be able to receive anymore bonds. The district is currently out of compliance with its bond obligations. Funding agencies are likely to be hesitant to loan the district money until it comes into compliance.
So if the district takes more time to generate funds, it is also putting off possible loan and grant resources. Cox said that in his view, the district should look at a two to three year time frame for coming into compliance.
The district also asked that staff look at ways to increase fees in other areas. Those may include connection fees and impact fees for new customers. Also included in other fees are hauler rates which the city imposes on contractors and property owners when it performs one-time tasks, such as pumping septic tanks and accepting gray water and wastewater from mine companies and construction contractors.

The Hickory Crawdads fell to the Charleston RiverDogs, 6-3, before 2,552 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium on Friday night.The RiverDogs (21-27) got on the board quickly against Cody Buckel, as Kyle Roller belted a two-run homer in the top of the first to put Charleston ahead, 2-0. Buckel, however, did not allow another tally through the rest of his four-inning outing, giving the 'Dads a chance to come back.
Hickory (26-21) started the comeback in the bottom of the second against winning pitcher Jose Ramirez. With two outs and the bases empty, Alejandro Selen kept the inning going with a double. And he came around to score an RBI single by Jonathan Roof, cutting the deficit to 2-1.
The 'Dads kept swinging away, completing the comeback with a pair of solo home runs in the third and fifth innings to take their first lead of the game. Teodoro Martinez tied the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the third; Jurickson Profar gave the 'Dads a 3-2 lead with his solo shott in the fifth.
Ben Rowen, who suffered the loss, came on in relief in the fifth, and he retired the first eight men he faced. But Charleston finally broke through with a two-run rallyin the top of the seventh. Ramon Flores kept the inning alive with a single and he moved to third on a base hit by Kelvin De Leon. Josh Richmond tried to throw Flores out at third, but overthrew the base and the error enabled Flores to score on the play. De Leon ended up at third on that throwing error. Francisco Arcia followed with an RBI single to score De Leon and put the RiverDogs up, 4-3.
The RiverDogs added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth. Slade Heathcott led off with a triple and quickly came home on a fielding error by Profar. Anderson Feliz advanced to second on the error. Feliz then stole third base and he scored on an RBI single by Roller for a 6-3 lead. Kelvin Perez picked up his third save of the season tossing a scoreless ninth inning.

ADAMS Nicholas D. Coburn, 29, is being compared by his family and friends to Superman in his heroic struggle against paralyzing injuries.
Three years ago, a car accident fractured his neck and shattered his hip. A hip replacement was decided against because of his youth. But Jan. 26, his hip gave out while he was walking downstairs at his village home; he fell and broke his neck. Complications led to his rebreaking his neck, paralyzing him.
Its just been a nightmare, said his mother, Lori L. Coburn, a Watertown Daily Times employee.
She wiped her tears as she recalled the morning of Jan. 26, when her son had gone ice fishing in Alexandria Bay with his father, Leonard C. An avid outdoorsman, Nick was determined to be outside, although the cold bothered his hip. He later went downstairs to the familys only bathroom, on the first floor, and his hip gave out and he fell.
Nick was taken by ambulance to Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, and later transferred to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, where pins and rods were put in his neck. Mrs. Coburn said he felt well enough, days later, to go home, but suffered a seizure Jan. 30.We dont know what caused it, she said. All of his hardware came out, and it took his spine and curved it. He was in the intensive care unit for four weeks, and in a medically induced coma for three weeks.
Nick remained in the hospital for 46 days before being transferred to a rehabilitation facility 4� hours away, unable to walk, talk or use his hands. Hes learning to breathe with oxygen and a tracheostomy, as his diaphragm muscle was paralyzed.
He cannot move his lower extremities, despite some sensation, and while he can move his arms and wrists, he cannot use his hands. Because surgery fused his neck, hell never be able to turn his head sideways. To turn, he must use his shoulders and upper body. Mrs. Coburn said her son has been unable to eat or drink by himself since the accident and has a feeding tube.
Some of his feelings are coming back, and hes working hard, she said. Theres not many places in New York that offer rehabilitation with a tracheostomy.
Nick has spent the past week at Northeast Spine & Rehab, Smithtown, but the family aims to move him to Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, Schnectady. Hes expected to be in rehabilitation longer than a year.
He has no way to pay for his medical care, as he was laid off from DirecTV six weeks before the accident. Mrs. Coburn said she applied for Social Security disability aid for him, which could take up to six months.
To help out, his friends rallied to organize a benefit from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday at the villages Veterans of Foreign Wars post, 17 Phelps St. A minimum $5 admission charge will be requested at the door. Childrens activities are set from noon to 3 p.m., and from 3 to 9 p.m. local bands will perform. There will be raffles, T-shirts for sale and a bake sale.
Nicks daughter, Madison, 6, made a donation jar for Mimis Depot Cafe, Adams Center, owned by her grandmother, Linda A. Maguire. He also has a son, Cohen, 2. Both children live with their mothers, but have visited their father a few times since the accident. Once Nick completes rehabilitation, Mrs. Coburn vows, shell care for him at home; the house eventually will be made handicapped-accessible.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Coburn said, Nicks spirits remain high.

Avatron Software has come up with this new cool app which is called Air Sharing which allows you to basically extend the monitor of your Mac machine or even to transfer files in several formats from other devices like the unlocked iPhone 4 and similar iDevices. If you want to extend the viding space on the monitor of your MAC device, then you just have to simply place the iPad next to the screen and the set up is ready.
File transfer can be done between an iPad and iPhone touch as the app is compatible on both the devices. There are no wires involved and transfers can take place irrespective of the file formats. The files can be transferred and can be printed or viewed as we said on your Macintosh or Linux based computers. What is most astounding is that we do not have to install any kind of additional software when we want to use this feature on the computer.
The basic functionality of this app is primarily executed by way of Wi-Fi technology and other than that there is another version which is called the Pro which has elements of 3G. Other than this basic data transfer facility, we get a number of other functions which are really useful in this regard. PDF reading is markedly improved in this one and you can read encrypted PDF files. Furthermore you can also edit to a certain extent like cut, copy and paste files from one folder to the other. Other than this, there is also the very important function of emailing the files which are stored on your device directly. There are also features like Zipping and unzipping the folders.
This app will soon be getting more updates too as it will be looking to get enhanced 3G connectivity.

Herbert W. Crandall III is taking comic books to the next level.
The 39-year-old business owner, who started Sanctuary Comics in 1997 out of a house at 750 Bradley St., has been busy since the fall gutting a 1,000-square-foot building that will become its new headquarters at 24764 Route 12 in the town of Pamelia. The building, which has been vacant for about six years, was previously Watertown Appliance and TV Center.
About triple the size of his current shop, the new location will enable Mr. Crandall to expand his offering of comic books, board games, toys and collectibles. The space also will allow the business to host larger gaming tournaments, which have been held at the shop for many years.
Weve really outgrown our shop, he said, and the new store will have a much larger selection. Well be able to expand into new products.
Mr. Crandall purchased the building in the fall. The building will get a new ceiling, flooring, roof, counters, handicapped-accessible bathroom, signs and paved driveway. Once the labor is finished, the structure will have to obtain final municipal approval. He has been working at the location two days a week while spending the remainder of his time managing his Bradley Street shop. He said he hopes to have the work finished by the fall.
Im pretty much taking a dilapidated building and refreshing it so its new again, he said, and doing most of the work himself.
The niche business has attracted customers steadily over the years, Mr. Crandall said, and enthusiasts of trading-card tabletop board games compete in weekly tournaments. Drawing crowds of 20 to 30 people, the tournaments feature popular games called Magic: The Gathering and Warhammer. He plans to add a popular historical tabletop board game, Flames of War, when the new location opens.
The tournaments have played a pivotal role in attracting business to the shop.
Now well have a space for tournaments with 40 and 50 people, he said.
Comic book fans will enjoy a greatly expanded selection. In addition to a wider offering of old comic books, more contemporary comics will be released every week at the store. With its larger offering and better visibility, Mr. Crandall said, he expects the shop to lure a larger customer base to expand his business.
Its actually two miles closer to Fort Drum, so thats a good plus for military people, he said.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Tucked somewhere in between winter and spring on the calendar in Maine is mudseason - a time when the weather fluctuates between warm and cold, wreaking havoc on the state's roads and driveways.
Road crews try to keep pace, filling in potholes a shovelful at a time, but until the weather gets warm and stays warm, there is little they can do but repair and often times repeat.
"All it takes is a little piece of pavement to break loose, cars going over it, the traffic continually beating the hot top, and you start a hole," explained Maine Department of Transportation Region One Superintendent, Tim Cusick. "The more rain and water that we get in it, and the cars hitting it and the trucks, it makes a bigger hole."
He says workers travel the roads daily looking for problem potholes and filling them with cold patch - a type of tar and pavement mixture designed to provide at least a temporary fix - and tamping it down in to place until they can fix it for good once the asphalt plants open in the summer.
"When we put hot top in a hole, compact it down, it bonds right with the pavement," explained Cusick.
The Maine DOT encourages motorists who encounter large potholes to contact their regional DOT office and report the potholes so crews can fix it before it damages vehicles or causes an accident.

Comments about Guild D-55 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I have been playing and collecting guitars for over 25 years, and the Guild D55 is without a doubt finest dreadnought I've ever owned. The D55 I have is a 1994 sunburst model made in Westerly, RI, prior to the Fender buyout of Guild. The tone of this instrument is incredibly full and balanced. I also own a 2006 Guild F50 that was built in Tacoma, WA. While the F50 is louder and bassier than the D55, it lacks the balanced mids and treble that enable the D55 to really cut through the mix when played with other instruments. I have previously owned a Taylor 414CE Koa, a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe, and a Gibson J45 Custom. While each of these guitars is well built and beautiful in its own right, none has the rich, mellow tone of the Guild D55.

Comments about Guild D-55 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
Guild D-55's have been underrated by everyone who doesn't own one or hasn't heard them. I have owned several over the last 25 years.
I love and use Martins and Gibsons but my D-55 can out chime any acoustic, can be as throaty as a Martin and better full spectrum than a Gibson-(to my ears most Gibsons sound a little heavy on the bottom end, not much top end) No offense to Taylor lovers, but Taylor's sound very middle of the road, consistent and a bit mid rangy flat to my ears.
The D-55 is great value, ask anyone who has owned one. Beautiful feel, balanced with top components. You pay for the Martin and Gibson name and they are very good. You pay for Taylor's never deviating nor spectacular, consistent sound. With the Guild D-55 you get the "wow" thats why folks use real acoustics on recordings understanding.

Comments about Guild D-55 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
This is the last acoustic I will ever need. When I sit down to write, even if I leave with nothing, I still got to listen to this amazing guitar. The bone nut and saddle make the sustain ring on and on. Strings are balanced for unbelievably even tone. I played on every Taylor, Martin & Co., and Gibson acoustic at the local major music store. Nothing sounded as warm and inviting as this guitar. I arrived wanting to buy a Gibson, but my ears would not let me leave without this guitar. It is worth every penny. Its a lifer. Dont be the incremental instrument buyer, just spring for the best one and play it all your life. This guitar made me enjoy playing acoustic again. Even just goofing around sounds like a dream.
Comments about Guild D-55 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I think this is the best sounding (most important), playing, looking, feeling guitar from a mass produced model. Get one and you'll never have to look anywhere else. I may add a burst if I can steal another.
I bought this 2010 guitar used off ebay. I feel as if I stole it for 1700.00. It was virtually unplayed.
I won't repeat the specs, but I will say that every component is top of the line. The top has a nice flame, the sides and back have a beautiful chocolate grain, the ebony fretboard and binding are flawless, the nitrose is perfect, the inside is immaculate. This guitar is everything that you would expect from a Martin D-41 or 42 at only a fraction of the cost. I just sold a D-41 about a year ago and regretted every moment of not having it, but I guess everything happens for a reason because this Guild D-55 is better in my opinion and I think most anyone would agree that it is at least the D-41's equal.
The sound and playability is where I am really sold. The looks are just icing.
I can't find a craftsmanship flaw on the guitar and I have looked it over for a few hours now. Not one factory flaw.
The price for this guitar is a steal. Loot one while you can. If you pay more for a different guitar and you are looking for a classic dread then I think you are just paying that much because you are a brand loyal kind of person.

The only way I know is to create a script in the '.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/' folder in the home folder. So for example I have a script which launches the GNOME terminal in a selected directory if I right-click and select 'Lanch Console Here!' in the scripts submenu.
'Launch Console Here!' file contents:
#! /bin/bash
gnome-terminal --working-directory=`echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" | cut -c8-`

LINCOLN --- Lincoln need this win. Badly.
Ryan O'Dell's eight-yard touchdown pass to Brendan Reddington with 2:55 remaining in the game erased a two-point deficit and helped the Lions score their biggest win to date, a 20-14 victory over previously-unbeaten Moses Brown on Friday night at Ferguson Field.
The Lions improved to 3-2 in Division III action with the triumph, and more importantly, stayed in the five-team hunt for the four postseason berths with Rogers (4-0), Middletown and the Quakers (both 3-1), and Burrillville (2-2).
PAWTUCKET — Like "trick" birthday candles, hot spots continued to
flare up in the rubble of the Union Wadding Mill complex as late as
Friday afternoon, keeping city firefighters busy. According to Robert
Howe, the city's Emergency Management Director, two engine
companies and a ladder truck remained on the scene, trying to douse
smoldering areas of the sprawling, circa 1847 brick building.

South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper begs to differ. According to a recently published article, the paper asked the head of human resources at Foxconn's Taiyuan factory about the iPhone 5 release date. The human resources head apparently told the paper, "We just got the order. It [the release] will be around October."
The original Japanese media's report noticed that there were many Foxconn hiring notices throughout Taiyuan. The Foxconn factory that will apparently assemble the iPhone 5 is located there. The Maeil Business Newspaper reporter phoned the Foxconn factory in Taiyuan, and spoke to the H&R head. "Yes, it's true we are hiring a large number of workers," the human resources head told the paper.
Then, the reporter asked about the iPhone's release date. As previously mentioned, the Foxconn employee said the company had just received the order, and the release date would be "around October."
The paper followed up with Foxconn's head of publicity. The paper, however, was told the PR head was "on vacation" and unavailable for comment.

Product Test: Lunch Crock
We tested a mini-sized Crock Pot. We bought the Lunch Crock at Wegmans for $9.99. It holds 20 ounces and warms up leftovers, soup, even chili. We had our own, Jim Connerton (aka Connie) help us out.
It is easy to use, you just plut it in and add your food. It takes a little bit to warm up, be sure to stir often.
Our tester liked it and thought it was a good idea. It also has a travel lid so you can take it on the road. Connie gave it two thumbs up.

Comments about Evolv Cruzer Shoe (Men's):
I use these just about every day for just about everything. They function as casual shoes that I've received several compliments on. They're great approach shoes for several reasons as well. First, they have some of the best traction of any approach shoe, making them an exceptional piece from Evolv. Second,they use a comfortable split tongue like you'll find in many technical climbing rock shoes, allowing for a more sock-like feel along with the flexible, felt lined canvas uppers in bare feet. Third is the kick-down heel that lets you stand around casually while belaying, spotting, or taking a break from your rock shoes. These same features, along with their lightweight, make them exceptional shoes for multi-pitch climbing as descent shoes as well as for travel through airports. Lastly, I've also been able to use them as minimalist running shoes, though that's not for everyone.

Comments about Evolv Cruzer Shoe (Men's):
Generally speaking I have been wearing these as casual shoes, but they are solid all around. They are great for biking when I don't use clipless pedals. I have not used them for this yet, but I am sure they would be fine for some low grade climbing as well.
You can also wear them with or without socks, they don't seem to get smelly like normal climbing shoes.
The only thing I don't really like about them is the split tongue. It is not too annoying, just a little odd.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
The Lady Dinos went out on a high note in their final home region match of the season as they defeated Payson on Tuesday afternoon at the Price City Tennis courts.
Head coach Tom Alleman said it was "nice to end on a winning note" at home with the girls playing very well.
"All of the girls have improved steadily over the season and yesterday (Tuesday) was their best play yet," said Alleman.
Alleman said players who played very well included Alex Richens, the Lady Dinos' number one singles player, who won in straight sets.
The doubles teams of Mariela Navarro and Madison Alleman and Lucinda Acosta and Kaydee Gilson defeated their opponents in three sets.
"The entire team did a great job," he said.
The Lady Dinos have three more region matches on the road before the Region Tournament on Sept. 28. The team will travel to Spanish Fork today for a region match.

He had asked listeners to note that members of the band on stage and the two choirs seated in the balcony were more numerous than those who were listening. "That's a good thing because it means the arts are alive at Helper Junior High," he declares. Lining the sides of the gym were samples of student art - sculpture, paintings, drawings and ceramics. It was the teenage version of the annual Helper Arts and Music Festival.

I think I used a regular straight stitch but with tighter stitches. If that doesn't work, you could try a tight zigzag stitch. Hope that helps!

According to the Daily Mail, neuroscientists from Tufts University, Boston suggest that exercise can be as addictive as heroin. Apparently 'mild exercise such as jogging or bike riding can turn into triathlons and 100-mile bike rides.' Biologists direct our attention to adrenalin, endorphins and even a genetic disposition to addictive behaviours, whereas, as social psychologists we are interested in the social conditioning aspect of that behaviour. Addictive behaviour then, is described in terms of its ability to resolve ego deficiencies or other psychological deficits—brought on, for example, by fear of social ridicule.
With much of society now focused on obesity and with an abundance of media images and articles describing how one can get the perfect body, it is hardly surprising that obsessive exercising is increasing or claimed to be as addictive as heroin. As social psychologists it is worth pausing for a moment to consider some of the gendered aspects of extreme exercise addiction. For example, Grogan and Richards (2002) suggest that male bodybuilders were using steroids to develop bigger muscles in an attempt to embody and display masculinity. Whereas Jansen et al. (2006) suggested that some women dieting and exercising for a feminine looking slim and curvy body, had developed the potentially fatal condition of anorexia athletica.

The Oregon Board of Education is scheduled to vote on a resolution that would require Oregon schools to retire their Native American mascots within five years or risk losing state funding. The vote Thursday, May 17, 2012, could give Oregon some of the nation's toughest restrictions on American Indian nicknames, mascots and logos. If approved, eight high schools would need to change their nickname and mascot by July 2017 or lose state money. Seven schools identified as the Warriors would only have to alter their mascot.

My Mother Was a Computer
Digital Subjects and Literary Texts
"Mathematician Stephan Wolfram has recently proposed that many different kinds of complex systems, including human thought and action, can be modeled using cellular automata. These very simple computational systems have demonstrated that they are capable of generating complex patterns using simple rules. According to physicist Ed Fredkin, cellular automata underlie physical reality on a subatomic level; in his view, nature itself is software running on a Universal Computer. This presentation will look critically at these claims, asking whether we should consider them as physical models or as over-determined metaphors that would inevitably emerge in a historical period when computation is pervasive. This issue, and its proliferating implications, will be explored through Greg Egan's print novel Permutation City, which imagines a world in which it is possible to simulate a person's consciousness inside a computer, creating a Copy that has all the personality and memories of the original." My Mother Was a Computer: Digital Subjects and Literary Texts [RealAudio] by Katherine Hayles, University of California at Los Angeles. Presented at HUMlab, Sweden.

Join us for a participatory panel.
With 9 million blogs, umpteen online message boards, thousands of shows on hundreds of cable channels and an increased number of magazines on the newsstand, the number of outlets for expressing criticism has never been higher and the barriers to would-be critics
have never been lower. Is this devaluing evaluation or does the shotgun approach result in better criticism? Certainly everyone has an opinion but is everybody a critic?

But don't just sit back and listen! Take part! Agree! Disagree!
YOU be the judge!!
This panel is free and open to the public with a suggested donation.

Found Sound in D.C.
Crisscross a City
[Unrelated photo: a port-a-potty-based public address system at the MACBA, Barcelona, 2005.]
A public art project called FOUND SOUND will be featuring works from artists in sound booths ('reconfigured' Port-a-Potties) on sidewalks in public locations throughout Washington, D.C. from Oct 14-Nov 5. Participating artists include Richard Chartier, Joseph Grigely, Alberto Gaitán, Jennie C. Jones, Helmut Kopetzky, Brandon Morse, Robin Rose, and Alex Van Oss. Actor and part-time New Orleans resident Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Spinal Tap, HuffPo) is contributing a piece on Hurricane Katrina, and Calvin Trillin has contributed a poem as well. The press release quotes this from an essay by Nora Halpern at Americans for the Arts:
FOUND SOUND entices the listener to crisscross a city to experience fully this collection of work. As one leaves a destination for anotherówhether by foot, car, bus, or Metroóthe heightened audio awareness encouraged by each piece should continue, like a musical riff, through all the spaces in between.
Thatís great and all, but in most of the places where these will be, 'heightened audio awareness' might not be a good thing. Downtown D.C.ís not known for its street life ó but we have plenty of nice, loud traffic and construction. Maybe they should make a podcast available for walking in between. Local galleries including Fusebox, Conner Contemporary Art, the Goethe Institute, and DCAC are collaborating. No map seems to be available yet but weíll link when it turns up online. No word on whether any of the port-a-potties will be performing their originally intended public service as well, but consider it highly unlikely. [blogged by Tim on shey.net]

3 (June 2002May 2003)
Peter Garside, with
Jacqueline Belanger, Sharon Ragaz, Anthony Mandal
This project report relates to The English
Novel, 17701829: A Bibliographical Survey of Prose Fiction
published in the British Isles, general editors Peter Garside,
James Raven, and Rainer Schöwerling, 2 vols (Oxford: OUP, 2000).
In particular it offers fresh commentary on the entries in the
second volume, which was co-edited by Peter Garside and Rainer
Schöwerling, with the assistance of Christopher Skelton-Foord
and Karin Wünsche. The present report is the third Update in
what is intended to be a series of annual Reports, each featuring
information that has come to light in the preceding year as
a result of activities in CEIR and through contributions sent
by interested individuals outside Cardiff.
The entries below are organised in a way that
matches the order of material in the English Novel, 17701829.
While making reference to any relevant changes that may have
occurred in Updates 1 and 2, the base it refers to is the
printed Bibliography and not the preceding reports. Sections
A and B concern authorship, with the first of these proposing
changes to the attribution as given in the printed Bibliography,
and the second recording the discovery of new information of
interest that has nevertheless not led presently to new attributions.
Section C includes three additional titles which match the criteria
for inclusion and should ideally have been incorporated in the
printed Bibliography, while the last two sections involve information
such as is usually found in the Notes field of entries,
and those owning copies of the printed Bibliography might wish
(as in the case of the earlier categories) to amend entries
accordingly. An element of colour coding has been used to facilitate
recognition of the nature of changes, with red
denoting revisions and additions to existing entries in the
Bibliography, and the additional titles discovered being picked
out in blue. Reference numbers
(e.g. 1806: 12) are the same as those in the English Novel,
17701829; when found as cross references these refer back
to the original Bibliography, unless accompanied with above
or below, in which case a cross reference within the present
report is intended. Abbreviations match those listed at the
beginning volume 2 of the English Novel, though in a
few cases these are spelled out more fully for the convenience
of present readers.
This report was prepared by Peter Garside,
with significant inputs of information from Drs Jacqueline Belanger
and Sharon Ragaz, on this occasion especially as a result of
their trawls through (respectively) the Longman Letter Books
and Blackwood Papers. Additional information was provided by
Dr Anthony Mandal, who was also responsible for preparing the
report in its final form via the Cardiff Corvey website.
Information was also generously communicated by a number of
individuals, notably: Professors Rolf Loeber and Magda Stouthamer-Loeber,
from Pittsburgh University, and Timothy Killick at Cardiff University.
As previously the Cardiff team has benefited from its association
with Projekt Corvey at Paderborn University, most recently through
the joint preparation of a Bibliography of Fiction, 18301836
(also included in Issue 10 of Cardiff Corvey). Thanks
are also due to Michael Bott, of Reading University Library,
for help received in locating materials in the Longman archives;
and to the trustees of the National Library of Scotland [NLS]
for permission to quote from manuscripts in their care.

Notes. Preface to Jedediah Cleishbotham, dated Dublin,
30 Sept 1819. A review in the Dublin
Magazine, 1 (May 1820), ends with the following short paragraph:
We now take our farewell of Dls NICE DISTINCTIONS;
but we sincerely hope that we may again see characters as nicely
distinguished as this work promises (p. 378). The copy
of the novel in Trinity College, Dublin, has a pencil annotation
identifying the author as Miss Driscoll.

Notes. A draft letter to William Hack of 1 Aug 1822 in
the Longman Letter Books reads: On the other side you have
the opinion of our literary friend respecting the Novel you
sent us. As it is the first production of the Author we requested
our friend to go into detail & if she will make the proposed
alterations, we shall be happy to see the MS again, when it
is very likely we shall engage in the publication. The MS is
forwarded by this nights coach (Longman I, 101, no. 311A).
The letter is addressed to Hack at Market
St., Brighton. The Longman Divide Ledger
entry for this novel indicates a balance due to Mrs Hack of
£7. 8. 6 (dated 1 Feb 1825): this points to the likelihood that
Reformation was the work of the wife or a female relation
of William Hack. It might even be possible to attribute the
novel to Maria Barton Hack (17771844), a prolific writer of
childrens literature, though her first work, Winter Evenings:
or Tales of Travellers, appeared in 1818. Mention of the
present item being a first work is made in another letter
to William Hack, evidently later in 1822, sending further recommendations
from the reader and returning the MS (no. 296B).

However, a letter of 12 Sept 1823 addressed to the Revd. Augustus
French in the Longman Letter Books, concerning terms, makes
no mention of any other author: Agreeably to my promise I have
examined the MS of Hirstwood [sic] and the house is
willing to engage in the speculation on the terms I explained
to younamely, that the house should be at the expense &
risk of Paper, Printing &c &c and that the profits of
the first & future editions be divided equally with the
authoryou will please to inform me if the terms are agreed
to, as the Work should appear as early as possible (Longman
I, 101, no. 381A) The letter is addressed to French at Westbury,
near Bristol. It is also perhaps significant that other works
commonly attributed to Ashworth were published in the 1850s
or later.

Notes. Identified as ODriscols
through a sequence of letters in the Longman Letter Books. In
a letter to J. ODriscol Esq of 14 June 1823, the firm
state: We shall be happy to publish the Tale to which you allude
on the plan upon which we publish your work on Ireland, dividing
the profits of every edition (Longman I, 101, no. 369). That
the tale relates to the above novel is evident from a sequence
of other letters from Longmans written to the widow and her
representatives after the authors death. In the last of these,
to a Mr N. Vincent, Owen Rees on 31 Oct 1829 writes: we will
thank you to pay her the inclosed £60, taking a proper receipt,
stating it to be a settlement in full for all the Interest of
the said John ODriscol in Views of Ireland The Adventurers
& The History of Ireland first edition (I, 102, no. 106D).
ODriscols other works include Views
of Ireland, moral, political, and religious (1823) and The
History of Ireland (1827), both of which were published
by Longmans. This is one of four novels which are together
given full reviews in ER (Feb 1826) under the page-top heading
Irish Novels.

proposal (vol. 1, p. 111; Item 601) of Dods, a friend
of Mary Shelley and a contributor to Blackwoods Magazine,
as an alternative solution to the contested issue of George
Borrows authorship of this work, finds incontestable support
in two sources. In two letters to William Blackwood, of 16 and
5 May 1825, David Lyndsay discusses details of the work as its
author (NLS, MS 4015, ff. 27, 29). David Lyndsay in turn is
identified as a pseudonym of Mary Diana Dods by Betty T. Bennett
in her Mary Diana Dods, A Gentleman and a Scholar (New
York: William Morrow and Company, 1991), where this collection
of tales is discussed directly as Dodss own (see pp. 23, 648).

Notes. The arguments of Wolff (I,
323) for attributing this title to Crowe, as opposed to Charlotte
Anne Eaton, finds substantial support in the Blackwood Papers,
where letters between Crowe and Blackwood directly relating
to the composition and production of the novel are found between
Mar 1825 and June 1827 (see NLS, MSS 4014, 4106, 4019). In the
last of these, Crowe complains that [t]he second title [
is rather aping Constables Rome in the 19th Century (MS 4019,
f. 65), this itself alluding to Charlotte Anne Eatons successful
travelogue, Rome in the Nineteenth Century, first published
by Archibald Constable & Co in 1820. Confusion caused by
the two titles offers the most likely explanation of why Eatons
name became associated with this novel at all.

Notes. Pp. [221]232 contain The Dream of Saint Kenya
(poem). Surviving letters in the Blackwood
papers indicate that the author was either the Revd Charles
William Chalklen or his sister. In the first of these, dated
5 Sept 1827, Chalklen urges William Blackwood for a response
to manuscripts sent: It is odd I shd not yet have heard from
you anything of ye Hebrew now in your handsat least in your
house. It is by a Lady and my Sister [
] I must hear from you
a decisive answer as to whether you will risque ye publication
of ye // 1. Hebrew// 2. Sworn Brothers // 3. Shadow
// in one volume (NLS, MS 4019, f. 27). This letter gives Chalklens
address as Kingstead, near Thrapston, Northants. Chalklens
statement that The Hebrew is the work of his sister is repeated
in a similar letter of 1 Nov 1827 (f. 29), which refers to The
Hebrew a Tale by my Sisterin my handwriting; but any authorship
other than that by the sender appears to receive sceptical treatment
in the readers report sent by David Macbeth Moir to Blackwood
on 3 Oct 1827: I return you Charles Chalklands [sic]
alias Williamson, alias s MSS which I have carefully read
over (MS 4020, f. 39). No mention of a sister can be found
in two letters from Chalklens father, on 8 Jan and 11 Mar 1828,
concerning what appears to be a private financing of The Hebrew
with Blackwood handling the public launch (MS 4021, ff. 84,
86). Altogether it is not clear whether The Hebrew was
primarily written by Chalkers sister (whose surname might then
of course have been different), or by Chalklen himself, though
the latter is perhaps more likely. Charles William Chalklens
acknowledged works include Babylon, a Poem (1821) and
Semiramis, an Historical Morality, and Other Poems (1847).
ECB dates Mar 1828.
B: New Information Relating
to Authorship, but not Presently Leading to Further Attribution
1812: 63 [?WATSON, Miss], ROSAMUND,
COUNTESS OF CLARENSTEIN. The question mark qualifying the attribution,
hitherto based on the MS inscription in the Harvard copy, can
now be removed in the light of two letters by Dorothy Wordsworth.
The first, to Jane Marshall of 2 May 1813, reads: I write merely
to request that you will send Miss Watsons Novel as soon as
you have done with it (The Letters of William and Dorothy
Wordsworth: III: The Middle Years, ed. by Ernest De Selincourt,
2nd edn., rev. by Mary Moorman and Alan G. Hill (Oxford: Clarendon
Press, 1979), II, 95). Another letter
of 18 Feb 1815 to Sara Hutchinson, commenting on Anna Maria
Porters The Recluse of Norway (1814: 46), states: There
is a good deal of Miss Watson in the colouring of the Ladies
[i.e. Porter sisters]; and when love begins almost all novels
grow tiresome (ibid., II, 203). Support
for this definitely being the daughter of Richard Watson, Bishop
of Llandaff, is found in a later letter of 26 Feb 1826, where
Dorothy writes of Watsons of Calgarth (the Bishops Daughter),
the Watsons having settled at Calgarth in 1789 (The Letters
of William and Dorothy Wordsworth: V: The Later Years, ed.
by Ernest de Selincourt, 2nd edn., ed. and rev. by Alan G. Hill
(Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1979), I, 95).
Some light is thrown on the authorship in a letter of 6 Jan
1813 to Revd William Manley in the Longman Letter Books: We
were duly favored with your letter & the life of Demetrius
which we have perused with pleasure; and if you & the authoress
approve we will undertake the publication of it on the same
plan as we publish the works of Mrs Opie & several other
of our authorswe to print the work at our own risk & divide
the profits of every edition with the author. // We could put
the work to press as soon as we receive your answer. // The
title we consider as rather of two [sic] classical an
appearance for a novel & we would recommend the author to
think of a more popular nature (Longman I, 98, no. 4). Taken
at face value, this indicates female authorship, with Manley
acting as a go-between; on the other hand, some room ought perhaps
to be allowed for Manley himself having a more direct hand in
the composition than acknowledged. Evidently, in this case Longmans
advice over the title led at best only to modification.
1819: 29 [BUSK, Mrs. M. M.], ZEAL AND
EXPERIENCE: A TALE. See 1825: 17 below, for a more positive
identification of the author as Mary Margaret Busk.
NEW SERIES, CONTAINING PONTEFRACT CASTLE. A letter from Robert
Cadell to Archibald Constable, written at the height of the
furore over this allegedly spurious publication, opens up the
possibility of authorship by Thomas Frognall Dibdin (17761847).
Cadell on 30 Oct 1819 writes: You will see
by the Morning Chronicle of this day that John B[allantyne]
has got a reply to his letter, it is causing some laughingand
the best is to say nothing more on the subject at presentit
is now no quizzI hear that Thos Dibdin is the author (NLS,
MS 323, f. 36v). It is possible that Cadell here is referring
to authorship of the riposte against Scotts representative
in the paper, and there is also an alternative Dibdin in Thomas
John Dibdin (17711841), the actor and playwright. The possibilities
are at best faint, though it is perhaps worth noting that Thomas
Frognall Dibdin was known in the Constable circle, and is also
on record of having at least dabbled with fiction at this period
(his La Belle Marianne: a tale of truth and fiction,
a short piece, was published in 1824).
NEW SERIES, CONTAINING THE FAIR WITCH OF GLAS LLYN. As the sequel
to the first new series (1820: 10), the comments made above
relating to possible authorship by Dibdin might also apply to
this title.
1821: 22 [BENNET, William], THE CAVALIER.
A ROMANCE. NSTC in listing the Philadelphia 1822 edn held at
Harvard notes: sometimes attributed Thomas Roscoe junior.
Two further Bennet titles, The King of the Peak (1823:
23) and Owain Goch (1827: 16), are given in DNB and CBEL3
as by Thomas Roscoe (17911871), the son of William Roscoe.
The dedication of The King of the Peak to the Mayor of
Liverpool might also seem to promote the idea of a Roscoe /
Liverpool connection. Furthermore, several of the letters addressed
to William Bennett Esq in the Longman archives appear at points
to indicate that he is the agent rather than actual author.
See, for example, the firms letter of 7 Jan 1823: If your
friend can fix on any other good title, it may be as well not
to take that of King of the Peak: for, though it may be explained
away in the Preface, at first it will be considered as an adoption
of part of the title of Peverell of the Peak (Letter Books,
Longman I, 101, no. 338). On the other hand, there can be no
denying the Derbyshire credentials of this set of novels; and,
in this particular instance, the author responded in his Preface
by asserting that there are many respectable gentlemen in the
county of Derby, who can bear witness that I intended publishing
this work under the title it bears, before there was any annunciation
of Peveril of the Peak (vol. 1, p. xvi). Especially telling
in this regard is the family copy described in Wolff (vol. 1,
p. 71; Item 385), with a note laid in saying These books were
written by my great grandfather William Bennet under the pseudonym
Lee Gibbons. One possible solution for the Longman letters
might be that Bennets father, another William, was acting on
behalf of his trainee lawyer son. Alternatively a precocious
younger Bennet could have been successfully juggling the roles
of author and agent himself. Is there evidence of a family of
Derbyshire lawyers in Chapel-en-le-Frith (the place given in
the Dedication of 1821: 22)?
1825: 17 [BUSK, Mrs. M. M.], TALES OF
FAULT AND FEELING. BY THE AUTHOR OF ZEAL AND EXPERIENCE. Clear
identification of the author as Mary Margaret Busk (17791863)
can be found in Ellen Curran, Holding on by a Pen: the Story
of a Lady Reviewer, Victorian Periodicals Review 31:1
(Spring 1998), 930. Busk, whose literary career followed the
financial difficulties of her father (Alexander Blair) and husband
(William Busk), is described there as a prolific contributor
to the reviews, her many other publications including several
histories, translations and childrens book. It would also appear
that it was this writers parents who are being referred to
by Maria Edgeworth in a letter of 4 March 1819: After spending
at the rate of ten thousand a year in high London society he
died almost ruined leaving his widow scarce £400 a year. She
now writes novels if not for bread for butter (Letters from
England, 18131844, ed. by Christina Colvin (Oxford: Clarendon
Press, 1971), p. 173). No novels by Mrs Blair have so far been
identified, though the date of Edgeworths letter perhaps opens
up the possibility of collaboration with her daughter on Zeal
and Experience (see under 1819: 29, above).
1827: 62 [SCARGILL, William Pitt], TRUCKLEBOROUGH
HALL; A NOVEL. An element of doubt was cast in Update 1 on whether
this title, as well Rank and Talent (1829: 72), and Tales
of a Briefless Barrister (1829: 73), conventionally attributed
to Scargill and all upmarket novels published by Henry Colburn,
should be unquestioningly treated as by Scargill. The records
of the Royal Literary Fund indicate that almost certainly his.
A letter from Mrs Scargill to C. P. Roney (4 Jan 1837), concerning
subscriptions to the posthumous The Widows Offering,
gives Truckleborough Hall as the first work by the author
to be listed in the title-page (RLF 27: 839, Item 5. Two cuttings
from the Morning Chronicle of 1855 included in the file
(Item 8) also give as among the authors works: Truckleborough
Hall, Rank and Talent, and Tales of a Briefless
Barrister. No mention is made at any point of Truth.
A Novel by the author of Nothing (1826: 68), Elzabeth
Evanshaw, The Sequel of Truth (1827: 61), and Penelope;
or, Loves Labours Lost (1828: 70), which must remain at
best problematically connected with Scargill.
LOVE. A letter from George Croly to William Blackwood, 21 Jan
1828, identifies the author as a female acquaintance: A
lady, the widow of an officer, & a friend of mine, has just
published a Novel, De Beauvoir, or Second Love which
strikes me as clever, & of which she has prodigious
anxiety to have some notice taken in the more prominent publications.
I should wish to oblige her by some short account of
two or three pages of Criticisms in your Magazine. [
] The book
is graceful & vigorous, a particular novel without any of
the stupidities & affectations of boudoir & drawing
room knowledge which have brought the name into disrepute (NLS,
MS 4021, f. 126).

1821: 65 SIDNEY, Philip Francis, THE
RULING PASSION, A COMIC STORY, OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. Further
information about this title has arisen through a letter addressed
to Allson & Sidney in the Longman Letter Books. Dated
30 Dec 1820, this reads: We wish you had sent us a copy of
Ruling Passion. If we are not mistaken it is a translation either
from the French or Italian. We have no objection to publish
the work for you on the usual terms we do such mattersto account
for the books we may sell at the Trade Sale price & charge
a commission of 10 P Cent on the sales, you paying all the expenses
of Advertising, freight, &c. // Have you not been too sanguine
of its sale having printed 2000 copies? (Longman I, 101, no.
70). It is likely that Allison & Sidney are the Proprietors
of the Hull Packet [a weekly newspaper], for whom the novel
was printed. Mention of the work being a translation also helps
explain the presumably facetious revived, revised, and edited
incorporated in the fuller title. OCCL (accession no. 8634631)
identifies this work as based on La Fuerza de la sangre
of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, which itself had been translated
into English as The Prevalence of Blood (London, 1729),
and again, more recently, as The Force of Blood, A Novel
(London, Printed for the translator, by T. Gillet, 1800). No
copy of this work with Longmans included in the imprint has
been discovered, though it is possible that the firm helped
in the remaindering of what is almost certainly correctly perceived
to be an over-large impression.

Even though studies suggest that only a very small percentage of the adult population encounters compulsive gambling problems we take this matter exceedingly seriously and have accordingly implemented a number of measures to address this problem:
Like many things, what is enjoyable in moderation can be disastrous in excess.

As part of our policy, we give you the tools to control the amount of money you use to gamble on our sites. You can set your own deposit limits on the relevant brand and request to adjust them at any time. Simply call our Member Support Team and a representative will help you set your limits. Member support is available by phone, email and live chat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can set your own deposit limits and request to adjust them at any time online through the cashier. Please note that should you have more than one account operated by us, your deposit limit can be implemented across all of your accounts. If you wish to do so, please contact our Member Support Team.
To help you set limits that are right for you, try answering this short questionnaire:
Use your answers to determine how much you would like to allow yourself to spend per day, per week or per month.
If you feel that our promotional materials are encouraging you to play more than you want, please send a written request to unsubscribe via email@example.com.
If, at any stage, you become concerned about your gambling behavior, you can request one of the following without any cooling-off period:
During "Take a Break" periods we will restrict your account on the specific requested brand only. Any new accounts you might attempt to open during the "Take a Break" period will also be blocked as soon as detected. In addition, the Company will take all reasonable measures to make sure you do not receive any promotional material during this time.
During the self-exclusion period, the blocked access will be enforced and irrevocable. You must call our Member Support Team to re-activate your account once the period has ended. Please note that there will be a one day cooling-off period before we are able to provide you access to your account.
Should you choose to self-exclude from our platform, we will close all accounts identified as belonging to you. We urge you to contact our Member Support Team to ensure that all of your accounts with us are closed. In addition, you should consider self-excluding from any other online gaming operators which you have an account with.
You acknowledge and agree that should you choose to self-exclude from any of our sites, we shall terminate your account and return to you cashable funds held in such account in accordance with the terms of the User Agreement. You shall not be permitted to open or use a new account with any other site operated by us during your selected self-exclusion period, until such self-exclusion has been lifted and the original account reopened. In the event you are in breach of the foregoing, we shall be entitled to block any new account you open with another site, forfeit any funds therein, and we shall not be liable to refund to you any funds you may have wagered or won through such account.
You can request a "Take a Break" period through the Cashier, or by calling our Member Support Team, available by phone, email and live chat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you wish to apply the self-exclusion option, please call our Member Support Team, available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please note: If you download any of our applications to your device from the Apple AppStore or directly from our website to your device and you accept to receive push notifications, we will not be able to block receipt of such notifications even if you choose to self-exclude from any of our sites. The only way to prevent receipt of such notifications is by changing the settings on the device itself. If you are unsure about requesting self-exclusion, ask yourself the four questions below:
If your answer is yes to at least one of them, we recommend that you "Take a Break" and seek professional help.
You can also use the following software which will prevent your computer from accessing online gambling websites:
