Colin Harrison, Michael Koryta: Why they top the list
There are a lot of things I do annually – celebrate my wedding anniversary with gusto, honor my friends and relatives and work on my picks for the year's best mysteries.
Each of these things is a year-round event.
Let's not concentrate on the personal, but instead on the mysteries.
For the past nine years, I've compiled a list of what I think are the best mystery fiction released that year. The list generally runs a few days before Christmas and the list for 2008 can be accessed here.
I know this is a popular list because around the end of October I start receiving e-mails from readers about when it will be published.
For the record, about 1,500 mysteries are published each year. Even an avid reader like myself can't hit all those books. I read about 250 novels, most of which I reviewed and some of which I read for major contest of which I am a co-judge. At least I think I read 250. I stopped counting around 249.
I start working on the list the moment I read the first novel of the year. Each novel not only is considered for a review but also whether it will make the shortlist.
Naturally, I am looking for the best in plot, character, dialogue and how it all comes together. Sometimes a book has all that, gets a glowing review, but just falls short of what I consider the best.
Sometimes, you just know.
When I read Val McDermid's A Place of Execution, I knew that all other novels would have to get in line behind it. A Place of Execution topped my list for best of 1999 and went on to win several awards and nominations.
The first novel I read of 2005 was Jan Burke's Bloodlines. It immediately grabbed me for its complex tale of the far-reaching effects of a family's disappearance. It remained at the top of my 2005 until I read Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer that October. Two wonderful novels from two authors at the peak of their talents. I did the only sensible thing that year – both novels shared the title for top novel.
Speaking of Michael Connelly. He is one today's of the most consistent mystery authors. That he ranks No. 5 this year means it was a very good year.
2008 marks a real departure for my list. For the first time author Colin Harrison not only made the list but his The Finder is my pick for top mystery of the year.
No. 2 is Envy the Night by Michael Koryta. The truth is that I went back and forth on these two novels for weeks. Each is truly a stand out. But in the end, I chose The Finder.
In The Finder, Colin Harrison combines a strong eye for social details and the intricacies of New York City for a novel that is equally literary fiction and mystery.
A scheme in which office cleaners steal a new pharmaceutical company's paperwork leads to cohesive plot about greed, power and revenge. The Finder's ensemble features characters from every stratum of New York society as well as sharp dialogue and fresh plot twists.
Harrison's original approach makes The Finder the top mystery of 2008.
Koryta's Envy the Night also is a solid entry in which the legacy of violence, the relationships of parents and adult children and the futility of revenge make for an action-packed story. You can read my complete review here.
Harrison is the author of six novels, including Break and Enter (1990), Bodies Electric (1993), Manhattan Nocturne (1996), Afterburn (2000), The Havana Room (2004). Envy the Night is the fourth novel for Koryta, who is 26 years old.
We'll be hearing from both for years, I hope.
(Later this week I'll discuss why one of the best novels of the year didn't make it.)

Sick Discus?
I noticed that my discus fish in my 46 gallon bow front tank has a disease that looks like a thread of slime with a white dot at the end. There are several of these things on each side of the body, mostly on the upper half. Also, in one small spot, it appeared as if the fish's body slime was coming off. I have had the fish since August, and have not introduced anything new to the tank since then. Yesterday, the fish appeared perfectly healthy, with none of these threads, and was actively swimming and eating. Today, it is not as active, but otherwise appears to be okay except for the threads.
The other fish, 3 koi swordtails and 7 cardinal tetras, don't have these strange threads on them. Ph is 7.4, Ammonia & Nitrite are 0, and Nitrate is around 10. I do weekly water changes of 50%. I feed the fish with flakes, pellets, and freeze dried Artemia. There are also a few zebra nerite snails added over a year ago.
What could this disease be? The closest thing I could think of was fungus, but it doesn't look much like fungus. Searching on multiple fish sites also failed to yield an answer.
Sound like some type of bacterial infection. I don't know much about Discus.
I know they are said to be sensitive and require more water changes than most fish.
I would try daily water changes and watch for improvement. Hopefully a Discus keeper will come along, that knows more than I.
Now the threads are more like dots, a bit like ich, but not ich. There are less of these threads/dots today.
raise the temperature to 84 degrees..

Jeep ad hints at AFL drugs scandal, 'It's time for the good news stories to be written'
Richmond Football Club captain Trent Cotchin is the star of a new ad for club sponsor Jeep to welcome the start of the footy season.
In the ad, created by CumminsRoss and gloomily shot in Melbourne's Docklands and Richmond at night, Cotchin says that now "it's time for the good news stories to be written", hinting at the drugs scandal that rocked Australian sport a few weeks ago.
Sam Tabart, Chrysler's marketing chief said: "Trent is committed to his team, his fans, the Richmond Football Club and the greater good of the game."
"We're all proud to be behind an ad that is a 'call to arms' for every footy fan to get behind their team."

This looks more like an ad for the AFL than for cars
I saw that ad a couple of days ago. I couldn't understand what it was about.
A very bad type of advertising is poorly branded short films.
This one is basically unbranded, which is even worse.
Punters will have no idea what this is for. What a waste of FIAT's money.
Looks like they held back on branding Jeep in the final cut.
Like it. Jeep and CR are doing some nice work. Footy fans will like this and they'll have positive association with Jeep as a result.
It evokes the Chrysler-Clint Eastwood advertisement "Half time America". I do not follow AFL, have no idea about Richmond, but I like it and works for the relationship.
@KB – only those with pre-existing instant recognition of the "dont hold back" slogan would know its a Jeep ad.
For everyone else, its just a huge lost opportunity to market to them.. what a waste of an ad.
Nice idea but poorly executed by CR IMHO
I think it works well considering Jeep's involvement in Fox Footy and that the ad will run most likely alongside AFL games. I like it.
Proves one thing…
As advertising talent, Trent Cotchin makes an excellent footballer.
Just look at the other emotional wasteland that is the Richmond membership ad and you can see that: http://www.bestadsontv.com/ad/.....ar-Is-Back
@Clare – Your arguement depends on the environment this ad is placed in. If it's in footy programming or on Fox footy, recognition won't be an issue due to all their other pre-existing ads and sponsorships. Obviously you're not a footy fan or a thinker.

This week, 45 years ago, this young teenager was ordered to report to his CO (Commanding Officer) at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo.
"Congratulations, private, on completing combat engineer training," he said as he rifled through my personnel file. "Looks like you're headed for Nam."
I objected and said I had taken an extra year of duty (from two to three) to be able to serve my country elsewhere. He pulled the form from my file and told me to forget I ever saw, or signed it and refiled it in a can below his desk. He said I could have a 3-day pass and would be leaving for Vietnam by the end of the month. I walked back to the barracks, head down, shuffling along the sidewalk. I had married my high school sweetheart just four months earlier and hadn't seen her since our brief honeymoon.
The next day I returned to the CO's office and told him I was going to California on that 3-day pass. He insisted that was against regulations and I had to stay within a 50-mile radius of Ft. Leonard Wood. I simply said, "Fine, but I'm going home to see my girl." Maybe it was my doggedness but his expression changed to a sly smile. He reached in his pocket for his wallet. "Here's $50 bucks, don't worry about paying me back, just make sure you come back. Now, get out of here."...

A policy is now in place in School District 186 that says administrative and supervisory employees are required to live in the district.
The new "strengthened" Administrative Personnel Residency Policy passed with only one board member voting against it. Board member Lisa Funderburg says it does not solve enforceability.
"I don't see how the changes that we are being asked to approve tonight (Tuesday) address enforceability."
Funderburg added that it is not the job of the school board to enforce a policy like this one. However, board member Mike Zimmers believes it solidifies what is asked of those employees. The first paragraph reads:
In order to secure the most qualified individuals for all administrative and supervisory positions, Human Resources and Development may recruit applicants from both inside and outside the District by appropriate notification of vacancy. Such recruitment will be consistent with the District's affirmative action plan. Opportunities for Board involvement in screening of the final candidates for administrative positions at the executive level shall be provided. Administrators and supervisors shall maintain residency within the boundaries of District 186 throughout the term of appointment.
The lack of the policy being enforced is what brought about the idea of a needed change in the policy. Board member Scott McFarland also expressed a concern with people "slipping through the cracks."
On much more positive note, ISAT scores were presented to the board for grads three through eight.
A change in how the data is measured makes the numbers look a lot different than it has in the past. But even with the new Rise and cuts system, it's clear that reading has improved. School Board President Chuck Flamini was pleasantly surprised.
"I anticipated, based upon all the things that I had heard when I was working at the regional office with the state, is that the change to the cut score would really decimate our kids. But it really didn't. We did OK"
Low-income and African American reading scores were up 4%. The biggest gains were seen across the district in reading in third and fourth grade. However, math leveled off across the district and there are concerns with the fifth grade reading and seventh grade math and reading scores.

Infestation of gold-spotted oak borers are ravaging trees that form crucial habitat for many creatures
In a secluded spot of William Heise County Park is a graveyard of oak trunks — a final resting place for hundreds of trees felled by an infestation that's harming forests across the San Diego region.
Piles of oak logs, some several feet in diameter, lie chopped in sections. Outside the graveyard, the loss of those trees is evident throughout the park, with stark new clearings scarred by thick stumps.
The oaks were casualties of the gold-spotted oak borer, an exotic beetle that hitchhiked into California on firewood more than a decade ago and has since ravaged centuries-old trees throughout the backcountry.
A few years ago, the pest cropped up in Marian Bear Memorial Park near La Jolla. Then late last year, it showed up for the first time in Idyllwild, a rustic town in the San Jacinto Mountains of Riverside County.
Scientists said the beetle's effect is devastating because oaks, the only native Southern California trees capable of producing dense canopies, are crucial habitat for many creatures.
"They're really the linchpin of an awful lot of ecosystems, and it's sort of sickening to see how many trees have died and how many are in trouble," said Tom Scott, a natural resource specialist for the University of California. "It's one of the most dramatic changes we've seen to oak woodlands."
Researchers have spent years trying to determine if the oak borer has a natural predator. They warn against transporting firewood to other regions, because that could expand the beetle's path of destruction. And they have deployed a network of volunteers to watch for new oak-borer hot spots.
One of those volunteers, retired Cal Fire employee Mark Ostrander, said he logs 20 to 30 hours per week checking oaks in his neighborhood of Jacumba.
"What if San Diego County had no oaks in it?" Ostrander said. "What do you think the landscape would look like? What would the parks be like?"
William Heise County Park, near Julian, offers a glimpse. There, beetles have carved a swath through the shady oak groves that used to grow in canopies over campgrounds and picnic areas. Crews have removed nearly 1,000 trees at a cost of $1,000 per tree, for a total expense of about $1 million, said Roger Covalt, supervising ranger for the park.
Countywide, agencies have spent $8 million clearing beetle-damaged trees, said Kevin Turner, UC Cooperative Extension's coordinator of the gold-spotted oak borer program.
Although campers have complained about the loss of their favorite shade trees at William Heise County Park, Covalt said park officials had no choice. Dying oaks could topple and kill visitors, they increase fire risk and they form vectors for infestation of new trees, he said.
"Safety is the No. 1 concern," he said. "If there's a dead tree, we're going to drop it."
Park officials plan to turn some of the cleared spots into picnic areas, and they have built 11 cabins on other cleared sites.
Birds and deer appreciate the fresh scrub that has cropped up where the oaks were cut, Covalt said, although some species dependent on the trees are losing habitat. Crews are replanting in some of the clearings, mostly with cedars and pines instead of oaks.
"Why plant (oaks)?" Covalt asked. "Then 15 years from now, if they haven't found a solution to the gold-spotted oak borer problem, we're looking at removing those."
Mark Hoddle hopes to beat the beetle before then.
As director of the Center for Invasive Species Research at UC Riverside, Hoddle has trekked through the oak borer's homeland to find its natural enemies.
The beetles don't seem to pose a problem in Arizona, he said. Although they also inhabit oaks there, they rarely kill them.

Telkom's high-speed hurdle
Article By: Hadlee SimonsThu, 13 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
Telkom's plan to kick off 20 and 40Mbps internet trials made headlines in the tech media over the past few weeks, being a significant jump over the current 10Mbps standard.
The oft-maligned company has stepped up its game, rolling out new equipment in an attempt to modernise its creaking infrastructure.
Now, we're seeing some results as the company's pilot kicks off, with six locations around the country playing host.
However, Telkom has quite a few challenges ahead if it hopes to bring broadband to the masses and return to profitability.
First up is the issue of geography, with many South Africans unable to even access 2/4Mbps connectivity right now, let alone the top-tier 10Mbps service. So who's to say that the situation won't be repeated?
Telkom's ambitious plan is to roll out 3000 high-speed multi-service access nodes (MSANs) across the country, while also replacing copper links with fibre. Of course, this is an expensive and time-consuming process, so we won't hold our breath for upgrades in our neck of the woods anytime soon...
The second obstacle is cost, probably the biggest factor in South African broadband.
A prospective broadband customer first has to pay for a Telkom landline (costing about R148), regardless of whether they actually want it.
Then there's the DSL line, costing anywhere between R165 (384Kbps/1Mbps) to R425 (4/10Mbps). So, that's a minimum of R313 and a maximum of R583 – and that's before buying an ADSL data account.
You'll really want an uncapped data account to go with the high-speed line, and a decent offering ranges from just under R200 for 1Mbps to R700 for Afrihost's 10Mbps solution. Then there's MWEB, offering a 10Mbps for R999.
Thus, you'll be paying a minimum of R513 per month for a 1Mbps uncapped package and over R1400 for a 10Mbps uncapped service. No need to wonder why mobile broadband is booming in South Africa...
It's almost to be expected that the 20/40Mbps services will be accompanied by a higher price. Whether it's R600 or R1000 for the line only, it's anyone's guess. But aside from simply making it as cheap as possible, Telkom could throw in some extras - and that's another challenge.
The third obstacle is compelling content, a way for Telkom to attract users to the higher speed service. I mean, a high speed DSL service is great on its own, but there are many possibilities...
For one, the company could introduce video-on-demand and live TV packages, piped over their network. It's already being planned by Telkom, according to MyBroadband, and is a feature that could motivate loads of people to cancel their DStv subscriptions if done properly.
It's a system that has worked well for British and American internet giants, offering loads of video content as a value-added extra. And it'll go some way to softening the blow that will inevitably come with the subscription fee.
Another option would be to introduce a VoIP service, allowing subscribers to call each other for free. Sure, this means that traditional landline revenue would most likely dip, but the increase in ADSL subscribers and revenue could make it worth their while.
High-speed broadband is the great enabler in many societies today, with broadband penetration linked to GDP growth in many countries. But getting an affordable service rolled out to the masses will be Telkom's challenge. Whether you dislike them or hate them, we have to hope that they can pull it off...

How to Find a Baptismal Record
Records of marriage, death, birth and baptism are public records, and under the Freedom of Informant Act, can be legally accessed anonymously. If you are trying to find a baptismal record, begin by contacting the church in which the baptism was held. This is not always as straightforward as it may seem, since many times churches have moved or records for baptisms may be hundreds of years old. You will want to start by gathering as much information as possible about the individual who was baptized, including the date of the baptism. The following tips can help you in your search for a baptismal record.
1Obtain as much information as you can about the baptized individual. Find out the person's full birth name, date of birth, parents' names (including the mother's maiden name), place of residence, and the pastor or priest's name if possible.
2Contact the church where the person was baptized if you know the name of it. Most churches keep records of baptisms, and can have a staff member research the information for you when you provide the proper details. Some churches may charge a fee for this, while others will offer the service for free.
3Contact the records department of state and county genealogy societies. Records are typically kept in the "resources" sections of genealogy societies, and are managed by each individual state. Libraries and archives can offer information on birth and baptismal records.
4Check in family scrapbooks or old bibles. It was often a practice to place baptismal certificates in an old family bible. Ask relatives if they have old scrapbooks or journals you can look through and use as references.
5Look into old periodicals and newspapers in the geographic area where the person lived. Especially in smaller towns, announcements of marriages and baptisms were usually recorded. Many old periodicals can be found at the local library, and some may have archives available on line.
6Look on line for baptismal records. In addition to genealogy societies, there are websites devoted to finding family records.
- Check The Family History Library of the Latter Day Saints (www.familysearch.org). This is a free site that has more than 2.4 million genealogical records, not only within the Mormon church, but within other denominations.
- Log onto sites such as Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com. While these sites charge a membership fee, they offer access to millions of genealogical records.
Community Q&A
Where can we get this certificate so we can go forth and become baptists?
My daughter has no church records to prove her baptism, but I have many witnesses. What can I do?
How can I find baptism records for Western Australia?
Can you find my baptismal records?
My husband doesn't know were he was baptized. What can he do?
- Finding a record of marriage may be easier than finding a person's baptismal record. Often, especially within the Roman Catholic Church, baptismal records were required before a marriage could take place. By finding marriage records, you can most likely obtain a baptismal record or a birth record, which may lead you in the right direction.
- If you know the denomination of the church or the religious background of the person who was baptized, but don't know where the baptism took place, you can consult directories of past and present churches by looking for that particular denomination. For instance, if the person was Roman Catholic, you may consult the local archdiocese for church records. The United Methodist Church also has an archived listing of churches at www.umc.org.

By: Yesha Callahan Posted: May 2 2014 2:09 PM 0 Leon Jenkins NAACP Leon Jenkins had just one job to do as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP. What was that one job? How about not accepting money from a known racist? Or how about not honoring a known racist with an award? Well, make that two jobs Jenkins had to do, and at which he failed miserably. After catching flak from the Sterling scandal, Jenkins and his luscious Jheri curl resigned as president of the chapter. In typical social media fashion, Jenkins has been getting roasted all morning.

If you guys could all please keep my best friend in your prayers. She is pregnant for the third time. She is 16 weeks and this is the furthest she has ever made it. She would make such an amazing Mommy. I see her all the time with my children and she is amazing. It breaks my heart for her that she has had so many problems. Her last miscarriage was when my 3 year old son was born. She still has problems being around him some time. Well we have been so excited that she has made it so far this time. She has been going to a specialist and when she had an ultrasound at 12 weeks they found some fluid behind the babies head and neck. They told her it could be several different things, but they need to do more testing to be sure. She got her blood results back they told her 1 in 10 for downs and 1 in 70 for trisomy 13. She went to the doc again yesterday and had another ultrasound. She was supposed to find out the sex, a boy they said. The fluid measured a 6 behind the head. She is having an amnio tomorrow (which she did not want to do and is completely terrified of). It will either be nothing (please pray this is what it is), downsyndrome, trisomy 13 or a heart defect. The doc has already told her if it is heart they will deliver her a few hours away that has an amazing prenatal program. They will do surgery immediately if this is the case. I am so nervous about tomorrow. Please please try to keep her in your thoughts.
She had her amnio at 2:30pm today. It will take about 2 weeks for her to get the results back. I know it is going to be a long a difficult 2 weeks. We are all still praying everything comes back negative on the amnio. Thank you all for your support.

Really strange behavior in my clown.
My husband was watching our tank last night and he saw the larger of the clowns go up and bite the tip of lionfish's barbs. It wasn't bitten off, but it is hanging there now. The clown fish is fine. Just out of no-where, the clown just swam up and bit him. Is there something wrong? Should I be worried?
hmmm..i have never heard of this before. usually fish tend to steer clear.
Maybe he is protecting what his. My bigger clown will swim up and bit me when I stick my hand in the tank.
Clown fish are just large damsels that people like the looks of. They are actually mean little creatures despite what you saw in that movie. They will absolutely attack any fish that is considered a threat or to close to their territory. Size is of no importance to them. Think of them like Japanese Kamakazi fighters.
I don't know about that. I think I just read it attacked a lion fish. Sounds kinda suicidal to me.
I definitly think that move was suicidal. The lionfish is practically a baby, but the size defference is enormous. The little one (clown) is usually the brave one. The lionfish just kind of looked at him like, "What the f @&%?" Thanks you guys! I was kind of worried. Not sure why, but I was. :yourock:
i said they arent ALWAYS suicidal, which means that sometimes they can be, must be the peer pressure and drugs, what are our fishes getting to in a our tanks....
Suicidal clown
I can just see it, the little guy, "Big C" daring the big one, "Tiny" to go beat up the big guy. IT WAS A HIT AND RUN!!! Go back into the castle and hide, "That was awesome man!." "Did you see me? I beat the $%@* out of him! He ain't got nuttin on me!" Bunch of big shots! :sarcastic:

Pregnant 3 weeks after miscarriage?
I got unexpectedly pregnant in early August of this year and miscarried over Labor Day weekend. The bleeding and everything was done by 9/8 and my doctor confirmed an empty uterus on 9/13. We didn't realize we could get pregnant again so soon (or easily) and did have unprotected sex a few times since though he pulled out each time. Now, my breasts have started really hurting so for peace of mind i took a HPT and it came back lightly positive. I called my doctor who sent me for a blood test and my HCG levels came back at 85. We don't have a comparison from before since it was confirmed by ultrasound to have been a complete miscarriage. I am going back for another blood test in a few days but due to the weekend and their office hours I won't find out for close to a week. It's sooo tough waiting. Could I really be pregnant again this soon? I know 85 is relatively low but it also seems rather high for close to a month after miscarrying completely. Any thoughts?

It is possible to get pregnant that soon. It is also possible that even though it was a complete miscarriage, you still have pregnancy hormones that are causing a false positive. I'm sorry, I know that doesn't help. The only way to know for sure is to see an increase or decrease in HCG levels. Good luck, I hope it turns out the way you want it to.posted 09/29/2010 by Lifeisjoy

in Plants
This mystery plant has sprouted in a wild border. It's the first time I've seen it in 7 years living here.
The thick flower stem is about 4 foot high. It has wide spreading broad leaves.
Any suggestions?
It's an acanthus. Lucky old you, every store-bought one I have planted has disappeared.
Excellent - thanks! I'm tempted to expand my wild borders from now on.
It's called Bears Breeches as well - I have been given several rooted offshoots by a friend who has a really well established one and they have all reacted to my good intentions by dying immediately. She never waters hers no matter what, doesn't know what compost is and hacks bits off it if she thinks it's getting too big ... Life can be sooo unfair!

Oh my God... you actually opened it!"— Amata upon seeing the vault door being opened.
Escape! is a main quest in Fallout 3. It is also an achievement on the Xbox 360 and PC; and a bronze trophy on the PlayStation 3.
Pack your Bags
- Goals:
- Make your way to the Atrium
- Optional
- Save Ellen DeLoria
The quest begins with Amata frantically trying to wake you up. She informs you that your father has left Vault 101 and Jonas is dead. Every member of the vault security team has been ordered to attack you because the Overseer thinks that you are responsible for James's departure, and along with that, radroaches have also infested the vault. Amata offers a 10mm pistol in perfect condition to the player; it can either be accepted or refused. If you refuse, Amata will keep the gun and use it to help you fight Vault 101 security later. The player may also tell off Amata, resulting in her simply remaining in the room. The player may still leave, however.
Head left. Butch DeLoria should come running down the hallway begging you for help. His mom is being attacked by radroaches, and he's afraid of them. You can help him either by talking him into killing the radroaches himself (either through a speech check, or by lending him your BB gun or baseball bat if you have either of the weapons on you) or by killing them for him. You may also choose to simply walk away, convince him his mother is doomed and he should save himself through a speech check, or even kill him yourself. You can still save his mother if you do the latter. No matter which solution you choose, you almost always get his Tunnel Snake outfit which gives you +5 to Melee Weapons, either because he gives it to you out of gratitude or because he dies and you can loot it off his corpse.
In the nearby diner is the body of Grandma Taylor. It appears that the radroaches killed her, but the player will later learn she died of a heart attack.
Officer Gomez will run into you and tell you to leave the Vault, allowing you to go free. You have a few options here involving the officer, two of which involve blaming him for Jonas' death. Andy can be found torching radroaches in this corridor. Stanley is hiding in your Dad's office behind a Very Easy lock, but you can either pick it, or wait until Andy kills the radroaches, at which point he'll come out on his own. The Bobblehead - Medicine is on the desk in the office if you didn't pick it up when you were going to take your G.O.A.T. three years ago. There is only one other opportunity during the latter part of the game to retrieve this bobblehead.
Atrium atrocities
When you enter the Atrium, you will see two of your fellow vault dwellers contemplating escape, referencing your father in the process. Tom Holden will rashly run into the guarded corridor, shouting his name and asking to be let through. Mary Holden will comment on his rashness, before running to her death after his at the hands of security. However, if the guards are engaged before they rush in, they will instead flee. Saving them in this fashion has no effects later in the game. The door at the end of the corridor leads to the Vault entrance, but is well beyond your current Lockpick skill (very hard).
The route you will need to follow is through the security door just to the right of the entrance corridor. It has been jammed open with a locker. Proceed up the stairs, noting that you will encounter 2 radroaches upon it, and 3-5 radroaches in the connecting corridor. Now you are on the upper level of the Atrium, the facing doorway will be open, the two doors on the wall to your left are inaccessible. As you head to the only open door, you will pass a windowed room with Allen Mack and Gloria Mack inside. Allen will begin shouting at you, blaming you and your father for the predicament that they are in. Security Chief Hannon is usually found wandering around here as well and will attack you.
There will be a dead maintenance worker, Floyd Lewis, by a toolbox. Continuing through the only door beside the one you entered through, follow the corridor.
Good/Bad Friend
When you turn the corner, you'll hear Amata and her father, the Overseer, talking. The conversation is, in fact, an interrogation about your whereabouts. If you let Amata keep the 10mm pistol, she will free herself by shooting Mack. If you enter the room, Amata will flee and Mack will attempt to kill you.
The Overseer can be spoken to in this room. Asking him for the Overseer's office key and terminal password will result in his refusal. If he is threatened for the keys, he will attack, but if Amata is threatened, he will give in (and also stop shouting for the guards). You can also choose to say you'll escape without them. The keys may also be pickpocketed from him, or found in lockers near the door and computer. A key can be found in a dresser in the Overseers room, where Amata is found after she shoots Mack. The Overseer can also be killed, resulting in Amata becoming upset and Allen Mack (Officer Mack's father) becoming the new Overseer by the time of Trouble on the Homefront.
If the player gives him his/her weapons and ammunition, the Overseer will turn hostile and attempt to attack, regardless of whether or not the player had any at the time (e.g. they left them in a desk).
If the Overseer is not hostile and further dialogue is attempted after the conversation, he will simply say he has "nothing else to say to you".
The player can also choose to simply ignore the confrontation and sneak on by.
If you attack Officer Mack and kill him, Amata will run to her room and thank you for saving her.
Pop the Cork
- Goals:
- Exit Vault 101 and enter the Capital Wasteland
- Optional:
- Change any of your character's attributes
The next room has Jonas' corpse. Search his corpse to find a Note from Dad.
Amata will be waiting in the connecting room if she was rescued. If the gun was not accepted at the beginning of the quest, she will present it to the player when spoken to.
If the player does not pick up a key to the office, the red door to the Overseer's office will have to be picked. The lockers in here have the Overseer's terminal password. If not picked up, the terminal will have to be hacked.
Once logged onto the computer, you can select the "Open Overseer's Tunnel" option to proceed through the secret passage, or read through several files that will help immerse you in the Fallout world. A door is at the end of the tunnel: once through, you'll find yourself in a small room with a switch on the wall. Once activated, it will reveal a larger room. There's another switch here that will open the vault door. Once opened, Amata will come down, regardless of whether or not you saved her, and say her goodbyes, be they good or bad.
Shortly after this, another door will open and more security officers will enter. Any ones that did not die earlier will also show up. Your final objective is to run through the exit and reach the final door between you and the Capital Wasteland.
When the door is examined, the game will offer you one last chance to change your character's name, race, initial S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, tagged skills, gender, and initial appearance. Note that the character's hairstyle may be changed later through various non-player characters, and his/her appearance may be changed through Horace Pinkerton.
Exiting the Vault nets you 200 XP for completing the quest, enough for the first level-up. Regardless of how much XP you gain during this quest, you will not level up until this point. For the people who play on Very Hard, it is not uncommon to have leveled up an additional time considering the first few levels don't require much XP.
Quest stages
- If the Overseer is killed by a radroach, Amata will still accuse you of killing him.
- Butch is considered an ally, and will be an active combatant if you talk him into saving his mom.
- If the BB gun is given to Butch to save his mother, he will return it in 100% condition.
- Before exiting the Vault through the wooden door and the end of the tunnel, run back to the now inaccessible great Vault door. If Amata was saved from her father, and the pursuing guards were not killed, they may be heard beating up Amata, and Amata saying "Stop it!" or "Get away from me!"
- Near Grandma Taylor's body is a rare Toaster that is a pre-War model.
- Everyone except Amata, Andy, and Stanley may be killed during this mission.
- You can pickpocket Stanley for a Vault 101 Utility Key. However, it cannot be used during this mission, as almost all closed doors are marked as "INACCESSABLE".
- The framed Revelation 21:6 quote hanging on the wall behind the player's father's desk covers a hidden safe. It has an average lock, requiring Lockpick 50 to open it. There is no way to open this lock at the beginning of the game without using the console; the maximum Lockpick skill the player may have at this point is 47, if they have 10 Perception, 9 or 10 Luck, tag Lockpick during Future Imperfect, and wear the Vault 101 Utility Suit. If the player gains enough EXP to level up during the quest, the game will not grant the level until after the quest (even if no enemies are nearby). Only returning during the optional Trouble on the Homefront quest will allow the player to retrieve it.
- If guards are attacking the player as he/she leaves the Vault's Entrance hatch, they will back away. They may sometimes say dialogue such as, "I'm not crazy enough to go out there! I don't care what the Overseer says!".
- The 10mm pistol Amata gives will be at 100% condition.
- Rather amusingly, if the Overseer chased you to the door he will wait with the other guards saying "I'm not going out there no matter what the Overseer says."
- In Vault 101 if you attack Amata enough to become hostile but not kill her she will chase you nearly out of the vault.
- If you render Amata unconscious and drag her body out of Vault 101, the vault door will still close, but Amata will walk to the door and disappear after a few seconds.
- This is the third out of four chances to get the Bobblehead - Medicine.
Transition quotes
- "Anything's possible, even an A from Mr. Brotch! Hahahaha!"- James
- "Your daddy the doc is not here to save you now, is he? So what are you going to do now?"- Butch
- "Now stop talking to me and get back to work. Selfish and insubordinate, just like your father!"- The Overseer
- "Listen, you need to know these things. I'm not going to be around to hold your hand forever, you know.- James
- pc ps3 Attempting to interfere in the event with Tom and Mary can cause several strange effects. (See discussion page)
- pc If The Overseer becomes hostile but is not killed before reaching the Vault door, Amata will still speak as if he were killed by the player.

UPDATED Colours of Memory: A Conference on the Writing of Geoff Dyer, 11th July 2014.
full name / name of organization:
Birkbeck, University of London
contact email:
Papers are invited for the first academic conference dedicated to the writing of Geoff Dyer—novelist, essayist, critic, travel writer and omnivorous public intellectual. Winner of many prestigious awards (including the 1992 Somerset Maugham Prize, the 2009 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Best Comic Novel and the 2011 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism) he is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
We can now confirm that Geoff Dyer will be attending the day and will give a short reading and a Q&A at the end of the day's proceedings.
2014 will mark 25 years since the publication of Dyer's first novel — The Colour of Memory (1989)— and a body of work whose distinctive combination of formal innovation, erudition and wit has won him both critical acclaim and a broad literary following, but little sustained academic scrutiny to date. This conference aims to bring together scholars with expertise in this important author for the first time, but also to use Dyer's work as a way of accessing some of the most urgent debates in contemporary literary studies.
Dyer is an interstitial figure: his blending of memoir, essay and fiction ('creative criticism') and use of intertextuality and sampling in his writing work together to challenge established generic boundaries and cultural hierarchies. His interests take in everything from film, photography, travel, jazz and Modernist literature to drugs, doughnuts, rave music and the poetics of procrastination. His playful, personal and sometimes meandering style expands our understanding of how criticism relates to its subject, but also amounts to a commentary on the contemporary itself, specifically questions of uncreativity, 'reality hunger' and exhaustion in the information age.
Taking our cue from Dyer's wide-ranging work, we invite papers which speak to a variety of themes in the author's work. Papers may also place Dyer's work in conversation with that of other authors or as a focus through which to address broader critical and contextual questions. Topics might include, but are not limited to:
The conference welcomes proposals for individual papers or panels. We are open to papers which, like Dyer's writing, experiment with the established boundaries of the genre. Submissions are welcome from both research students and academics. Please send a title and 300 word abstract for a 20 minute paper along with your name, to Bianca Leggett, firstname.lastname@example.com. The conference will be held on 11th July 2014 at 43 Gordon Square, Birkbeck, London.

AppCarousel will focus on procuring, curating, and managing various apps, as well as hosting the app platform that will deliver the Application Store.The ARRIS Market is based in HTML5, and like many elements of the Moxi user experience, including the recent addition of an HTML5 browser, it is designed to be customized by the MSO. This customization enables MSOs to better compete with an in-home brand and bond message for their subscribers. "We are excited about enabling these new capabilities for operators deploying the ARRIS Whole Home Solution," said ARRIS VP Product Management Ron Miller. "We are committed to increasing the value and popularity of the ARRIS Whole Home Solution through the evolution of the application space and the cable-driven ecosystem of home entertainment." The ARRIS Market will be introduced in a series of Moxi software releases during 2013. The initial release will feature such content as Facebook®, Twitter™, Yelp®, weather, news, and games. The offering will be regularly enhanced and refreshed, giving subscribers a series of new experiences throughout the year. Supporting the growth and innovation in the ARRIS Market will be the future release of the ARRIS Web Services SDK, a comprehensive suite of developer focused APIs and tools for creating a new generation of custom apps developed around the powerful resources of the ARRIS Whole Home Solution. The Web Services SDK will only be made available to MSO partners and key developers chosen by ARRIS to ensure the highest quality experience for the subscriber.

The wicket page exposed as 404 error page has wrong links to resources. The sample project is attached.
Run the project with "mvn jetty:run" and go to url "http://localhost:8080/bug/404" - it's mapped wicket page, works perfect. But if you type any wrong url such as "http://localhost:8080/bug/aaaaaa" the page doesn't have styles and images.

Sample project based on quickstart maven project.
The problem is that ServletWebRequest#getClientUrl method is returning a client URL that includes the context path. When responding it uses the errorAttributes.getRequestUri() URL to create the client one.
I don't know why ServletWebRequest#getClientUrl is testing error attributes in request and using the error URI, it is the address of the resource causing problems, but getClientUrl is designed to to return only the base URL without context or filter mapping.
Simply remove the test for error attributes an its logic fix this BUG and have no impact at
WICKET-3599, WICKET-3551 but breaks some test expectations.
I think it should use error URI, because actual page could be on different level, not in root as /404. A test case for the fix should include urls like ""http://localhost:8080/bug/aaaaaa/bbbb/cccc". Also to check if it works after moving the "/404" mapping to somewhere else, e.g. "/error/http/404".
I can add that the attached quickstart works fine when started with Start.java.
It seems Jetty acts differently when started with 'mvn jetty:run' and embedded.
Going to test with Tomcat7.
The application works fine when deployed at Tomcat 7.0.21 at context path /4168.
Both /4168/404 and /4168/fasdshshds show the error page.
I would blame maven-jetty-plugin or the config in this project's pom.xml
Are you sure? Just tried it with JBossAS7 and Tomcat 7.0.22. Fails everywhere. I suspect you have deployed it on ROOT once, and "../../" works.
As I see, the problem is in the getClientUrl method. If it's normal page it uses the private method "getUrl", and it does remove context and filter paths, but for an error page it doesn't. Hence all resource relative urls have extra 2 levels up "../../".
I did:
- mvn package
- cp target/*.war $TC7/webapps/4168.war
- start TC7
- open http://localhost:8080/4168 (home page)
- open http://localhost:8080/4168/gfshhffdhdhdh (the error page)
- open http://localhost:8080/4168/404 (the error page)
Fix added
I do exactly the same! And it fails for me.
Could you show content of the page? It should contain [], but I have []. Also could you try "http://localhost:8080/4168/gf/s/h/h/f/fdhdhdh" please?
Hi, in order to simulate the bug here using Firefox I have to clean the browser cache each time I go to the problematic URL.
Oh, also the the context path can't be empty. I'm using here
class Start
Sorry. Are you sure it's fixed in 1.5.2??
Also, the fix r1190596 invokes setParameters twice for error urls - from getContextRelativeUrl and after it.
Why are you asking?
OK, I will double check the setParameters usage.
