text: Matthewdavid's consistently interesting Leaving Records label has just debuted a new producer from Belgium, named Ssaliva, via the cassette-only Thought Has Wings album (you can nab a copy of that here). A few of the artist's warbling, '80s-radio-sampling tracks have been floating around the blogs lately ("Teenage Brain" and "Best Lose the Dream," for starters), but "Crayola" is currently our favorite of the bunch. On this production, Ssaliva keeps things repetitious and psychedelic, but employs a thick and infectious bassline along with his melodious beatscapes to elevate the song into some kind of mutant house tune. Pair this one with your favorite Games track and maybe one of Hype Williams' more upbeat numbers, and you'll be on your way to a proper lo-fi dance music mix in no time.

Mads Østberg and Jonas Andersson grabbed fourth position in the overall standings ahead of tomorrow's two runs on the Col de Turini.
There may have been precious little snow, but there was certainly plenty of water for the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team crews on day two of Rallye Monte-Carlo, between Gap and Monaco.
Third overall this evening, Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle are well-placed to claim their first-ever podium finish in the World Rally Championship.
The headaches caused by the weather during this year's Monte-Carlo continued today. What with intermittent showers, standing water, mud and the threat of snow, tyre choice was invariably far from straightforward. However, the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team went for the right option on each occasion. In such conditions, the proposed route from Gap to Monaco, with a remote service in Digne-les-Bains, gave the competitors precious little time to relax.
With the tarmac roads especially slippery on all the stages, Kris Meeke and Mads Østberg had to negotiate some very tricky conditions throughout the day, conditions which ended the challenge of several of their rivals. In the second half of the day, by which time the gaps were clearly established, the two Citroën DS3 WRC crews were able to start to manage their respective positions.
There are four stages left to contest tomorrow, including two runs over the Col du Turini, before the race finishes late on Saturday evening in Monaco…
Kris Meeke: "If I had to choose between the snow and the changes in grip that we had to manage today, I think I'd have to say I prefer the snow! There was absolutely no grip on the worn tarmac roads. When the conditions are like that, it's so easy to make a mistake. I preferred to control my pace in some sections. This rally is still very tough. We are progressing in line with the plan we drew up before the start. We need to concentrate on the job in hand – we now have a position to defend."
Mads Østberg: "Perhaps I was too cautious this morning when the roads were very slippery. But I avoided making any mistakes. I feel that we improved a lot between the first and second runs. On Sisteron – Thoard, I really wanted to push. I had to force myself to stay calm. In any case, it's Kris that is just in front of me and there's no point in me trying to chase him down. Third and fourth would be a good overall result for the entire team."
Yves Matton (Citroën Racing Team Principal): "Tyre choice wasn't easy all day, but we managed to go for the right option on each occasion. The water, mud and smooth tarmac made the stages very tricky. For Kris and Mads, neither of whom has a huge amount of experience at this rally in the WRC, they were especially tough conditions. Their performances are therefore all the more pleasing. Mads has shown a great deal of maturity, because tarmac is not really his favourite surface.
And Kris has followed the plan to the letter: he hasn't taken too many risks but has set a good pace. They need to continue to build up experience in the Citroën DS3 WRC. Once they feel at ease, they will be able to express themselves fully and show off their talent. Kris is only 47 seconds adrift of second place and a lot can still happen on the Col du Turini!"
How the action unfolded
SS7 – Vitrolles – Faye 1 (49.03km) – Sébastien Ogier won the stage to move into second position overall, behind Bryan Bouffier. Kris Meeke defended his third position by going faster than Robert Kubica. Mads Østberg set the eighth fastest time.
SS8 – Selonnet – Breziers (22.68km) – Like Ogier, Mads Østberg was forced to run into a muddy field after the end of the stage to avoid the other crews at the stop control. Fortunately, there was no damage caused to his Citroën DS3 WRC. Bryan Bouffier went fastest, ahead of Ogier, Kubica and Meeke.
SS9 – Vitrolles – Faye 2 (49.03km) – A minor off for Bryan Bouffier, who relinquished first place to Sébastien Ogier. Kris Meeke remained third as Robert Kubica was forced to retire after going off the road. With the second fastest time on the rally's longest stage, Mads Østberg grabbed fourth place in the overall standings.
SS10 – Sisteron – Thoard (36.85km) – Sébastien Ogier extended his lead at the front. Kris Meeke and Mads Østberg held their respective positions before heading for Digne-les-Bains.
SS11 – Clumanc – Lambruisse (20.77km) – The day's final stage was contested in the dark. Jari-Matti Latvala won the stage. Kris Meeke consolidated his position with the third fastest time. Mads Østberg drove cautiously to claim the seventh fastest time, but ended the day over three minutes ahead of his nearest rival.

BACK in 2012, Eleanor Ozich was a full-time mum who indulged her passion for food by posting her recipes and pictures for friends on Facebook.
Now, just two years on, she's a published author with her very own cook book and a second on the way, and she's just opened a cafe called Mondays in her native New Zealand.
But, most importantly, her daughter no longer suffers from eczema, which was so severe and sore it used to keep her awake crying at night.
Ozich was simply a distraught mother searching for a cure for her child, but in the process, she's transformed the lives of her whole family and sparked a new, exciting career path.
"Our daughter Izabella started to develop eczema when she was about two years old, although it was not until she was about three that it began to worsen significantly," explains 25-year-old Ozich, who also has a two-year-old son, Obi.
"After countless visits to doctors and specialists, nobody could shine a light on her condition, nor explain the impact it had on her behaviour. We were prescribed artificial creams, and medication, which would only ever temporarily fix the problem."
In "absolute despair", they eventually took Bella to a naturopath, who diagnosed what she called ' Gut and Psychology Syndrome' (GAPS).
"It's an imbalance of bad gut bacteria, causing toxins, which was resulting in the eczema and her extreme mood fluctuations. At the time, this revelation made complete sense to us, and we were completely willing to heal her gut through removing wheat, grains, sugar and anything processed from our diets," recalls Ozich.
She was so committed that she started charting her attempts to cook without using those ingredients in a blog, which she named Petite Kitchen (www.petite-kitchen.com). "At the time, we were living in a tiny apartment with a cute little kitchen," she notes, explaining the name.
It wasn't always easy. " With Izabella being so young at the time, it was really hard for her to understand why we were eating a different style of diet. It did take a lot of hard work and determination, there were times where we felt as though we were hitting a brick wall.
"Looking back, I am so incredibly glad that we worked through it, as the positive changes we have noticed not only in her skin and behaviour, but also in our own wellbeing, are just incredible."
Her new book, My Petite Kitchen Cookbook, features 100 mouth-watering recipes, all illustrated with Ozich's own beautiful photographs.
Izabella, now 6, is "a very happy, content and balanced little girl", she says.
"She is able to concentrate far better, loves learning and her skin has almost completely cleared up. She also has a huge passion for food, and has a great understanding of how the food she eats not only tastes delicious but is nourishing her in many wonderful ways."
The diet also transformed Ozich's, and her menswear designer husband Valentin's, health too. "We noticed a huge shift, not only in our emotional wellbeing, but also the physical changes were wonderful. We felt clear-headed, full of energy, and generally like we had a new lease of life."
She thinks part of the reason some of us struggle with healthy eating these days is information overload. "There's so much conflicting information out there. How do we really know what is 'good' or 'bad', when we are constantly being bombarded with information telling us what we should or should not eat?
"I believe it's all about keeping it simple," she adds. "Use basic, everyday ingredients that your grandmother would have used. Eggs, good quality meat and seafood, plenty of good fats such as butter, nuts, coconut or avocado, and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
"Eating a whole-foods diet doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. M aking even the smallest change, such as drinking one less coffee a day or deciding to have eggs instead of cereal for breakfast, can make the world of difference in the long-term."
Here is a recipe from My Petite Kitchen Cookbook to try yourself.
SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND CASHEW SOUP (Serves 4)
3 large orange sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
3 large carrots, roughly chopped
1.5-2L vegetable or chicken stock
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 handfuls of toasted cashew nuts
Sour cream, creme fraiche or plain yoghurt, to serve
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional) Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Put the sweet potato and carrot in a stockpot or large saucepan and cover with the stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender the liquid has reduced slightly.
Leave to cool for five minutes, then transfer to a blender, one ladleful at a time. Add the garlic and most of the cashews, reserving some nuts to garnish the soup. Blend until smooth, then season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently reheat the soup and ladle into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream, creme fraiche or yoghurt and the reserved cashews.
Serve with an extra sprinkling of black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Having had the privilege of serving as a police officer and, subsequently, chief of police for South Strabane Township for nearly 40 years, I have come to realize the need to be involved in the community and with its young people. I have found no better way for positive contact than through youth sports.
One way to accomplish this is the Pony League World Series. The event has come to a crossroads as to its financial feasibility and desire of the community to keep the tournament in Washington.
Volunteers of the sponsoring organization, World Series Tournaments, Inc., believe it to be a valuable community asset and have pledged to make every effort to retain this tradition. To make the series more financially stable, we have streamlined the number of days and called on the business community for increased support. I am pleased to say that many people have responded favorably.
That brings us to the support of the community, which is greatly needed to make this series a success. We conduct an event that showcases talented young baseball players. The community needs to show why Pony teams throughout the country and the world strive to come to Washington from Aug. 9-14.

The Milwaukee voucher program remains one of the most tightly-regulated school choice programs of its kind in the nation, and it deserves better than the sloppy conclusions of Diane Ravitch. In a blog post earlier this week, Ravitch noted—correctly—that tougher standards applied to the Wisconsin state test went badly for all Milwaukee students, especially voucher recipients (just 10 percent of whom were proficient in reading, compared to 15 percent of their district peers). But then she reports that legislation expanding the Milwaukee choice program to Racine absolved private schools of the requirement that they administer the state tests to their voucher-bearing students. "Therefore," she writes, "their proficiency rate will not be known or reported."
This is absolutely untrue. For the past few years, students in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program have had to take the Wisconsin Knowledge Concepts Examination (WKCE), which is the same test administered to all public school students. When the Wisconsin legislature expanded the voucher program to Racine last year, nothing changed this requirement. In fact, test results for private schools in Racine and Milwaukee, as well as for public schools throughout Wisconsin, were recently recalculated to comply with a higher standard of proficiency. Those results are available to the public here—and they'll continue to be made public.
What has changed is the release of a report card that assessed public schools using measures that included achievement growth on state tests, graduation rates, absenteeism, progress on closing achievement gaps, and several other factors. Ravitch could have argued that the 108 private schools presently accepting voucher students in Milwaukee and Racine should have collected this data so that they would be included in the report cards available to the public. But instead, she wrongly asserted that the test performance of voucher students will no longer be public.
This should not be dismissed as a simple error in reporting. The Wisconsin legislature has made a lot of progress in holding the nation's oldest voucher program more accountable to parents and the taxpaying public, and researchers who have studied the program for years found that the public reporting of test scores may be responsible for some achievement gains not seen in traditional schools.
Arguably, this transparency also has inspired more recent legislation in Indiana and Louisiana, which both require voucher students to take the same tests as do students in public schools. And it would be good to see this trend spread to other states, to both new and existing programs. Test scores may be a muddy measure of a school's performance (students using vouchers and those attending public schools may differ in important ways), but they are an important measure—and Wisconsin continues to recognize that.

HALTON residents have created a mood diary by knitting a little each day in a unique project.
Lots of teenagers have taken up the hobby.
Knitters were asked to do just two rows, representing how they felt each day as part of a 'Knit a Year project.
The story of Halton's moods has generated a long multi-colour strand, visualising12 months of emotions.
Hazlehurst Craft Studio artist Carys Anne Hughes and Beth Barlow, from Working Title Artists Collective, supported the venture.
Beth said: "Participants have reported every day knitting, just for a few moments, gives them a bit of time to themselves each day and people with bipolar have actually said it helps control their moods.
"We know that we have a few secret knitters out there who have been knitting their year but who are now organising some final classes and four exhibtions of the work.
"If you are one of them, please get back in touch as we are keen to show everybody's handy work in for exciting exhibitions in Halton."
Wool swap days were held as the project was supported by Halton Council and Arts Council England.
Photographs of all the strands will be featured in a new book.
Halton Council visual arts officer, Louise Hesketh, said: "We are delighted to support this project as we think it will have a lot of benefit for local people. It was great to see young people taking part too."
As the project draws to a close there are still plenty of opportunities for knitters and non knitters to take up their needles during the project's final events.
Artist Carys Anne will be at the Brindley's 10th birthday bash on Saturday, September 27, from 10am till 4pm to knit the colour of your mood on that day.
You can sit and knit your own strand and stay all day or just knit a few rows for the Halton's Mood for the day strand, to leave with Carys to add to a forthcoming exhibition.
Carys said: "I will be asking for knitting stories to add to our exhibition so if you have any that you wish to share, that would be great."
Shared Interests will be held on Tuesday, September 2 when knitters are invited to swap ips on how you can share your interests online.
Emotional Baggage takes place on Wednesday , September 3, where you can learn to create beautiful fabric labels for creative projects and gifts.
Both these events are with artist Beth Barlow at The Brindley Arts Centre, Runcorn and you can drop in any time between 10 -3.30pm You can join the online forum website at knitayear.ning.com.
You can also call Beth Barlow on 07828 148123 or email@example.com.

December 5, 2011 - Deutsche Bank's deployment of cloud technology has been lauded as an example of best practice in enterprise computing by the Open Data Centre Alliance (ODCA).
The German bank picked up a $10,000 award after winning the ODCA's 'Conquering the Cloud Challenge', in which organisations were invited to submit examples of leading edge cloud computing deployments in the corporate data centre.
Deutsche Bank's entry Identity management in the new hybrid cloud described how the bank has extended its internal db Cloud environment to support an 'Infrastucture-as-a-Service' mechanism to provide developers across the bank with rapid access to virtual machines. The bank has incorporated identity management tools and cloud-based collaboration suites to offer virtualised environments that can be requested by individuals and teams and rapidly provisioned at a lower cost than any comparable environment.
Ravi Subramaniam, principal engineer at Intel Corporation and a member of the ODCA judging panel says: "Deutsche Bank's entry not only demonstrates true innovation, but also provides a clear and concise approach to deploy and measure cloud success. Most importantly, we feel these practices can be emulated by other organisations looking to implement effective cloud computing solutions."

Angela Eagle: David Cameron 'calm down' jibe was patronising
Angela Eagle, shadow chief secretary to the treasury, has described
David Cameron's 'calm down, dear' jibe in the Commons as 'patronising' and a 'revealing slip'.
Mr Cameron was accused of sexism after mimicking a car insurance advert featuring Michael Winner as he defended the government's plans to reform the NHS during Prime Minister's Question Time.
'He just lost his rag, I think, and revealed himself in a way that perhaps his minders wouldn't have wanted him to,' Ms Eagle said on ITV1's Daybreak this morning, though she added that the PM's comments did not come as a surprise.
'It was patronising but it wasn't something that surprises me about him.
'He's done it before in the House of Commons, especially when he's been on the back foot. It's up to him to decide what he does about it, I think. I can live with it.'
Asked if she found the comment sexist, Ms Eagle said: 'I think when you are the prime minister, that kind of behaviour to women members of the Commons isn't exactly what you'd like to see, is it?
'I think there have been a lot of women very annoyed by it. It's kind of par for the course for me. I expect him to do that. I've seen him do it before.'
Turning her attention to deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, seen in the background in footage of the incident, Ms Eagle said he looked as if he had 'sucked on a lemon' after the comment.
Meanwhile, the Labour benches erupted in outrage, with shadow chancellor Ed Balls angrily gesticulating and party leader Ed Miliband appearing to demand an apology.
But the prime minister pressed on, telling them: 'I said calm down, calm down dear. I'll say it to you, if you like… I'm not going to apologise. You do need to calm down.'
'David Cameron's contemptuous response to Angela Eagle… shows his patronising and outdated attitude to women,' was Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman's response to the incident.
Mr Cameron's comment in prime minister's questions was a 'humorous remark' and 'no offence was meant', said Downing Street.

Trail Description:
The hike to Mills Lake begins from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead, located on Bear Lake Road almost 8 miles from the turn-off at Highway 36. Due to the extreme popularity of the Bear Lake Road area you may want to consider using the free park shuttle to access the trailhead during peak tourist season.
Roughly one-quarter of a mile from the parking area, just after crossing Chaos Creek, the trail briefly converges with the Glacier Creek Trail. After walking a very short distance the Glacier Creek Trail splits off to the right and heads toward Bear Lake. To continue on towards Mills Lake hikers should turn left at this junction.
At just over eight-tenths of a mile hikers will reach Alberta Falls, one of the more popular hiking destinations in the park. This scenic 30-foot waterfall thunders down a small gorge on Glacier Creek, and is named after Alberta Sprague, the wife of Abner Sprague, one of the original settlers in the Estes Park area.
The next section of trail, between Alberta Falls and Mills Junction, was rehabilitated by the National Park Service and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy as part of a major, multi-year project that was completed in 2012.
At 1.6 miles hikers will arrive at the North Longs Peak Trail junction. To continue on towards your destination hikers should turn right here.
About a half-mile further up the trail you'll reach Mills Junction. Straight ahead is the Loch Vale Trail which leads to The Loch and Sky Pond, while the side trail branching off to the right leads up to Lake Haiyaha. As part of the same trail rehabilitation project, this unimproved route was also upgraded in an effort to make it safer and easier to follow as it travels towards the lake.
To continue on towards Mills Lake hikers should turn left at this junction. After a short distance the trail crosses over Vale Brook, at which point you'll enter the majestic Glacier Gorge.
At 2.4 miles you'll cross over Glacier Creek. Just before crossing the footbridge you might notice a faint social trail on your right. After walking roughly 40 yards along this path you'll reach the base of a small waterfall known as Glacier Falls.
At just over 2.6 miles hikers will reach the foot of Mills Lake, a beautiful subalpine lake nestled just below Half Mountain. From its eastern shore, looking from left to right, you'll have outstanding views of the Keyboard of the Winds, 13,497-foot Pagoda Mountain, 13,579-foot Chiefs Head Peak and 12,668-foot Thatchtop Mountain. A fairly large rocky area along the edge of the lake makes this a great location for a picnic.
"In years to come when I am asleep beneath the pines, thousands of families will find rest and hope in this park." - Enos Mills
The lake is named after Enos Mills, the man commonly referred to as the "father of Rocky Mountain National Park". Mills became the area's first naturalist, and made great contributions to the field that would eventually lead to the profession of interpretive park rangers. He also established a guide service that led tourists to the summit of Longs Peak. At the age of 15 he made his first ascent of Longs Peak, and over the course of his life would make the trip 40 times by himself, and nearly 300 times as a guide.
His most significant contribution, however, was spending numerous years lecturing across the nation, lobbying Congress, and writing thousands of letters and articles that would eventually lead to the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park on January 26, 1915.
From the northern shore the trail skirts around the east side of the lake, and in my opinion, provides even better photo opportunities. You can also continue for another half-mile along the easy route to visit Jewel Lake, which also offers some great photo opportunities. Another 1.7 miles further up the trail is Black Lake.
For backpackers looking to camp in the area, the Glacier Gorge Backcountry Campsite (one site) is located almost a half-mile above Jewell Lake. This is the only campsite in the Glacier Gorge area.

Does DELL play nice with SuSE
I'm interested in purchasing a DELL machine and then installing SuSE. Is there a setup (product line) that is more compatible with SuSE than others? If you've done this, what is you experience or recommendation?
Everything in my Dell Inspiron 6000 works fine, except for suspend to RAM (sleep) and the internal SD card reader. Suspend to disk (hibernate) works fine, although I occasionally get error messages about unloading the usb_reader. External USB SD card readers work fine. And I can't get my ATI card to have 3D acceleration.
SuSE is definitely much better than any distribution of Linux I've used so far in terms of configuring everything right away.
The Inspiron is a laptop right? I'm interested in a desktop, so I think I can probably choose NVidia over ATI. I have a NVidia card in my current system and 3D acceleration is enable. THanks.
Desktops are much better. You can probably use other distributions which may or may not be more stable or faster. I think SuSE is definitely easiest to configure though.
I've been ablt to get Fedora, Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Suse running on my Dell Demension 2400.
Fedora (core 4) was a little slower than Suse but worked a little better.
Ubuntu worked the best but the whole sudo thing just bugged me.
I haven't found a desktop that SuSE won't run on, including a few Dell varieties. This isn't a guarantee but an indicator of highly likely. You can prove without installing with a "Live" CD or DVD.
Everyone, thanks for the advice. DELL actually sells a "open source" line where they don't install any software at all. The HDD is unformated, so I'm thinking of going with that. The model is E510n. The only downside is that it comes with a ATI card. I'm hoping I can get them to swap out the ATI for an NVidia card ;-)
The card that comes with the E510n is a PCIe ATI Radeon X600 SE. I talked with a rep and they're claiming that for this model the ATI is the only card available. Mind you, if you get the E510 pre-installed with WinXP, then you can choose between a nVidia and ATI. Why do they have to make things so hard? In any case, If I'm unable to get a nVidia card, does anyone have any experience with this card? Any advice on setup, drivers, etc.?
IMHO -- I for one have tired of the limits place on us by even quality venders like Dell. I build my own from components. That way I get exactly what I want and don't have to settle for the low cost supplier of basic components. Why not get exactly the video board you want or perhaps 4 DIMM slots instead of 2. PCclub is my supplier of choice. They're on the web and local in many areas. We even have one in Fresno CA.
If you haven't bought the computer yet, I suggest you put your own computer together so you know EXACTLY what's in it.
The open-source dells are a rip off. I've had a really bad experience with them on other things as well.
If you want an already made computer then I would go with HP they're pretty nice to linux people. I also recommend Apple computers.
I've built my PC's in the past, so I have no issues with that. In fact I've already compiled my parts list with prices. I was not impressed with the way DELL handled my request, and it put a bad taste in my mouth. I'll take a look at HP, but It looks like I'll end up building my own PC.

Books coverage generally focuses on writers; this is a page about readers. Specifically, it's about the 18 people above who read this new novel. Here, we detail their experience. Read more of their findings at nationalpost.com/books If you'd like to read a book with us, email email@example.com
Ian Rankin is the author of more than 30 books. Since 1987 he has published 19 books featuring Detective Inspector John Rebus, including Black and Blue, Exit Music and Saints of the Shadow Bible (Orion, $28.99), which is the third selection of The Afterword Reading Society. He lives in Edinburgh.
Linh NguyenWoodbridge, Ont.; Jennifer KokuryoLangley, B.C.; Janet StratisScarborough, Ont.; Margaret LonsdaleLloydminster, Sask.; Teresa SalvatoreBarrie, Ont.; Cheryl KozorizToronto; Danielle Lee-MumaLondon, Ont.; Patricia RuckerThornhill, Ont.; Carole LarsenToronto; Terri Lawrence-TaylerWindsor, Ont.; Jaclyn Qua-HiansenMississauga, Ont.; Sabreena BraichSurrey, B.C.; Derek PinderToronto; Gillian PlummerToronto
We asked you: Which protagonist did our readers prefer, John Rebus or Malcolm Fox?
"I prefer John Rebus as a protagonist. His struggle to be a good man is perhaps not as obvious as that of Malcolm Fox, nor is his success at it, but his weakness when it comes to drink and his temper is balanced by the respect he has for his honest, hard-working colleagues, although he would obviously like them to cut loose every now and then. And like him, I have stacks of books I always intend to read, and can't drive anywhere without music." Carole Larsen
"John Rebus. He's the anti-hero to Fox's struggling hero, and I find his character more psychologically complex. Also, his friendship with and tremendous respect for Siobhan Clarke creates a chemistry that is unmatched by any of the other characters in the Fox books. Oddly, due to the Rebus/Clarke synergy, it sometimes feels like Fox is the loner, even though Rebus is the one without family ties and always drinking in a pub." Jaclyn Qua-Hiansen
"Rebus and Fox are comparable to Patton and Montgomery, military leaders in the Second World War.
One is a man of action and bravado, one a careful, methodical planner and executioner. Each will get the best results when operating in his home field. The two together make a formidable team but if I could have only one it would be Fox because he can be depended on." Derek Pinder
"I prefer Malcolm Fox. I really enjoy how he uses the full scene, and minute actions to provoke reactions from his adversaries. Something as simple as piles of papers are well thought out and planned to get certain responses. This is not saying that I didn't enjoy Rebus, but Rebus relies on a guttural reaction and emotional manipulation to
release the same responses." Gillian Plummer
Patricia Rucker asksWhat are your plans for Siobhan Clarke?
Ian Rankin answers I don't have any. There has never been an over-arching plan for the series. I'll get a theme I want to explore, find a plot that will allow me to explore it, then decide which character or characters can best help me with that.
Jennifer Kokuryo asksTo what extent do current headlines inspire your work?
Ian Rankin answers Well, all year I clip interesting stories from newspapers and magazines, placing them in my "Ideas" folder. With Saints of the Shadow Bible a couple of stories fired my imagination. One concerned a detective who managed to get a suspect to confess to more crimes than the authorities knew about — and got in trouble as a result, for failing to follow protocol. The other was about plans to do away with double jeopardy in Scotland, so that a person could be re-prosecuted even if they had been found not guilty at an earlier trial.
Derek Pinder and Teresa Salvatore both askDo you plan your novels, or does the story unfold as your write?
Ian Rankin answers No, not really. I have my theme or story, and a crime that will get me started, but I never know the middle or the end of a book when I begin. I am in the position of the detective, knowing as little as they do. I just trust that the story will tell me where it wants to go — which is often very different from where I thought it might end up! As a result of this, my first draft is quite rough — an outline, with large blank spaces to be filled in later (once I know the identity of the culprit). Those gaps get filled in during the second draft, and a third tidies things up further.
Janet Stratis asksWhere's your favourite spot to people watch?
Ian Rankin answers Well, I do walk around Edinburgh a lot. The streets contain a multitude of stories waiting to be told, and every person I meet has potential as a character. Muriel Spark once said that authors "loiter with intent" and this rings true to me. Of course, after a nice long walk there is nothing better than a drink, and bars are my second favourite places for people watching. More than that, chats with drinkers give me anecdotes, lines, character tics, etc. — many of which will end up in a future book.
Terri Lawrence-Tayler asks Do you ever find yourself thinking of the actors from the ITV production of Rebus while writing your most recent book, and does it change how you write them?
Ian Rankin answers You know, I've got all the DVDs of the Rebus TV show, but I have never watched an episode. … I didn't want actors' voices and mannerisms to replace or interfere with my own images of my main characters. This didn't stop me appearing in a couple of cameos, however.
Linh Nguyen asksThe uneasy relationship between Rebus and Fox is quite interesting to read. What's the inspiration for this relationship and is it based on any in your life? If not, where did it come from?
Ian Rankin answers Having met an officer from Internal Affairs several years back, I was struck by how different such a person would have to be from Rebus in order to do that particular job. You'd have to be cleaner than clean, work well in a team, be meticulous and correct. And you would be a professional voyeur, closer to a spy than a cop. So I knew that taking someone like that and placing them in opposition to the eternal maverick Rebus would lead to some tense and complex exchanges. Their relationship bloomed from there. But now Fox is leaving Internal Affairs and moving back to general duties — suddenly surrounded by officers who revile him or at the very least mistrust him. He needs allies, just at a time when Rebus finds he has a use for Fox.
"John Rebus is back as a case from 30 years ago is reopened. Does he have something to hide?" Jennifer Kokuryo
"Two rival detectives collide in the underbelly of Edinburgh, where defining lines between saint/sinner, hero/villain, blur & shift." Margaret Lonsdale
"A group of cops thought they were above the law; many years later they face the consequences of their actions. Is Rebus covering for them?" Linh Nguyen
"John Rebus returns to the police force, demoted and under suspicion, as past and present cases collide." Cheryl Kozoriz

Anthrax Frontman On Maximum Rock 2000 Tour Pullout
Anthrax vocalist John Bush spoke with KNAC.com about what exactly happened at the end of the Motley Crue and Megadeth Maximum Rock 2000 tour which Anthrax pulled out of and if he thought it ended badly. "It ended badly in the sense that the tour wasn't doing very well," Bush responded. "At the time there was a lot of competition during the summer of 2000. It was really busy. We were probably playing bigger venues than the bands at that time should have played. Ticket sales were struggling, and Motley wanted to cut everybody's pay. We couldn't afford to do that because then we would have been losing money. I mean, that was one of the reasons we did the tour was to make a little money?not sh**loads ? just some. Now, to take a loss to do that tour would have been an error, so three weeks in when they came to us wanting to cut our pay in half we couldn't do it. We weren't going to take tour support to do that tour. It would have been the stupidest thing we could ever do."

Dying Rock Radio Leave Metal Promoters Searching
MercuryNews.com has an article about a [SF]Bay-area radio station switching from hard rock and metal to Spanish-language format and its impact on promoting metal shows in that area. The subject is all too familiar as one of DC's local alternative rock stations, WHFS (well known for the HFS-tival) also switched over to Spanish-language format unexpectedly. While promoters may be scratching their heads about what to do, it should really be no surprise as most radio stations are owned by a few media giants (cush as Clear Channel), who answer only to the almighty dollar.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
KSJO-FM, the Bay Area's only radio station that played the hard rock and heavy-metal music preferred by head bangers, has concert promoters scratching, not banging, their heads.
How do you reach the audience that would buy tickets for a hard-core concert such as Slipknot and Lamb of God (which went on sale Saturday for an April 12 HP Pavilion show), or Ozzfest, or Nickelback, if no station is playing the music?
"It's a challenge,'' says Rick Mueller, who books shows for Bill Graham Presents. "Advertising is all about repetition. When U2 comes to town, even though it will be sold out, stations will be promoting it all the time.
After 35 years as a rock station, KSJO changed to a Spanish-language format last fall. In the past, the station would have promoted this show heavily, giving away tickets and playing BGP's ads.
Now Mueller and his staff are looking for other ways to reach this niche market.
"We can use outlying radio stations in Sacramento, Modesto and Stockton,'' he says. "But that may not be best for a weeknight show. We are focused more on Internet word of mouth. Sites like www.myspace.com and www.blabbermouth.net reach the metal community.
Harlan Fray, who handles marketing for Slipknot's New York-based record label, Roadrunner Records, sees the lack of a hard rock station in the Bay Area as a handicap for this show, but as crippling for some others.
"We've got a date on Sunday as a football team and we've just lost a key offensive lineman,'' he says. "Radio is an important part of an all-encompassing marketing push, but for a band like Slipknot, the street is more important. They never got much radio play, and they'll do well with or without it.''
However, he adds, his label's biggest-selling band, Nickelback, which has sold 10 million albums, compared to about 4 million for Slipknot, probably wouldn't even play the Bay Area without heavy radio support.
Although he is monitoring Slipknot ticket sales, Mueller isn't worried and says shows such as Ozzfest will prosper even with less radio advance. Slipknot has sold from 3,000 to 5,000 on the first day of sales in markets such as Hartford, Detroit and Philadelphia. The band sold fewer than 1,000 tickets opening weekend for the San Jose show.
But Mueller notes that other metal bands, such as Pantera, received little radio support but still sold well, with many of the tickets bought close to the date of the show as word of mouth built.
Still, "in 2004, KSJO would have been the one getting the snowball rolling, building momentum,'' Mueller says. "The question for us now is how do we get the ball rolling?''

Spineshank Update On Current Situation
SpineShank drummer Tommy Decker has expanded upon the recent months of inactivity surrounding the band, here's what he had to say:
"Ok, so Its been forever since we've given you an update the reason for that is that we took a few months off and there was really no news to report. We had been through tons of singers and were pretty frustrated with the whole situation, so a couple of months off really helped clear our heads. Mike and I have been in the studio producing and recording other people (which we will continue to do) and Rob has been keeping himself busy with other things. In the past year we've written a lot of songs and tried out tons of singers, some that you all have heard of and some unknowns. A lot of these guys could've easily done the job of continuing SpineShank where we left off But we want more than that. So we held off until we found someone that we really clicked with. We've been working with someone for a while now and its going really good, (no names yet because of the legal bullshit) it has all the elements that SpineShank has always had, but it doesn't sound like SpineShank. We've never liked to repeat ourselves and have always expanded our sound after every record and this time is no different. The fact that there is a different voice singing over the music is obviously going to make a huge difference, and we are obviously in a different place musically than we were when we wrote SDP. A lot of that record was really forced, it was hard to get the 4 of us to agree on anything. There was a lot of pressure to write songs for the radio and there was a lot of fighting when it came to the direction the band should go in. For the 1st time in years it feels like a band again, writing music doesn't end in a fight and we all get along personally and creatively. As for the name SpineShank, Were not sure what were going to do yet. If it sounds like the next SpineShank record then I guess we will keep the name, if it doesn't... we wont. I'm proud of everything we've done, but its time to concentrate on the future and move on. Well, that's it for now. I will update again when there is something to talk about. "

Debase Seeking New Label

Due to changes in the structure of Sanctuary/Noise Records, we can now announce that Debase will not continue the partnership on their next album. Debase is currently in the studio working on the new material and the album will be finished later this year.
Children Of Bodom Side Project Release New Album
The new Kylähullut album "Turpa Täynnä" (Hammered) hit Finnish stores last Wednesday. The album isn't much different from the Keisarinleikkaus EP; it can still be described as straight-forward punk.
Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) sings in a few songs with Vesku Jokinen (Klamydia) doing most of the vocals. Just like before, Tonmi Lillman (ex-To/Die/For, Sinergy) takes care of the drums and Alexi plays the super fast guitar solos. The lyrics of the album deal with topics like alcohol, groupies, spray painters and people who try to convert others into their own religion. Even Alexi's CoB bandmates don't get away without getting mocked by Alexi. Kimberly Goss does a guest appearance on the last track of the album by singing a few lines in Finnish.

Devildriver Completes "Fury" Tracking
This past Sunday (1/30), tracking on the upcoming DevilDriver CD - "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand" - officially concluded. In fact, the last track to have vocals layed down was the title track itself. Fourteen songs in all were recorded.
Not knowing that it could snow in Texas, yesterday (2/01) Dez woke up seeing white, and is currently waiting for a flight on a layover in Phoenix en route to Santa Barbara. "Feels good to be holding a full record," tells Dez from the Phoenix airport. "Going to go home and listen to it tonight relentlessly with Anahstasia."
The band would like to send thanks out to producer Colin Richardson for being such a wonderful guy during the recording of this CD, and everybody at Sonic Ranch (Tony, Justin, Bobby) for making their stay pleasant and giving DD a great atmosphere to create their art.
Mixing of "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand" will begin later this month.
The full band will convene again in a couple days to start rehearsing live. As for touring, all the details - when, where, with who - is being figured out now...nothing is in stone as of yet.
God Forbid Tour With Soulfly, Writing New Songs
This March, God Forbid will begin their final round of touring in support of their critically acclaimed and highly successful "Gone Forever" album. The band will first serve as direct support to Soulfly for a string of East Coast dates, followed by a headlining stint in the U.K. This will lead immediately into their first U.S. headlining tour, which also features Caliban, It Dies Today and Full Blown Chaos. The four-week trek, which runs through April, includes a stop at the esteemed New England Metal And Hardcore Fest.
The group will proceed to enter the studio in May to begin recording their highly anticipated new album, "IV:Constitution Of Treason," with Jason Suecof (Trivium) at Audiohammer Studios and Eric Rachel (Atreyu, Dillinger Escape Plan) at Trax East. The album is tentatively set for a fall 2005 release.
Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks in with the following report: More...

The band of the Greek guitar wizard Gus G. finally have another chance to perform their intense Power Metal live on stage. It starts off with a special showcase March 18th 2005 in London and continues with several support shows for HammerFall within the scope of the Icebreaker Festivals.

Iron Maiden To Headline Reading/Leeds Festival
Foo Fighters, the Pixies and metal titans Iron Maiden are amongst the big names who are set to headline this year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals.
This year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals will see a headline appearance from Dave Grohl's band, who are putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming double album.
Although festival bosses are unwilling to confirm any names until their announcement next month, an NME.COM investigation has uncovered that Pixies and Iron Maiden are the other headliners.
A festival source told NME.COM: "They've bagged Pixies' only UK shows next year, and there's a chance they could be their last ever in Britain. It's an open secret that Foo Fighters are playing as well."
Pixies have headlined Reading Festival before, back in 1990, but they're not the oldest band on the bill.
In what may surprise some, metal veterans Iron Maiden will return to the festival for the first time in over 20 years as part of their massive European tour. Iron Maiden have played Reading before too - in 1980 and 1982, but they still remain a huge live draw.
Reading and Leeds tickets are likely to go on sale in March, with an official announcement to come on the final line-up around the same time. For more bands set to play at this year's festival, see this week's NME, which is out now nationwide
Cradle Of Filth Shirt Lands Man In Court
Dale Wilson, 35, of Northfields, Norwich, was arrested by two police officers in The Avenues as he walked to a local newsagent to buy some tobacco on Halloween wearing a T-shirt promoting Ipswich-band Cradle of Filth.
The front of the T-shirt showed a sexual image of a nun while the back carried an extremely offensive reference to Jesus.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and also admitted possession of a Stanley knife when he appeared at Norwich Crown Court yesterday.
Sentencing was adjourned for reports until March 11 and Judge Simon Barham warned him that all sentencing options would be open.
Wilson was given conditional bail pending the next hearing.

L.A. Church Cancels Lamb Of God Appearance
An article about the church banning Lamb of God from their venue was posted on The Mercury News website. Several excerpts from the article:
The church-owned Great Western Forum has cancelled an April 9 concert appearance by Lamb of God because church leaders were offended by the group's previous name, Burn the Priest.
The band was set to appear with Slipknot as part of the Subliminal Verses Tour. In a statement on the band's Web site, drummer Chris Adler called the church's decision "a bit ridiculous."
"If they had taken the time to look into what we do and who we are as a band, I don't think they would have made the same decision," he told The Associated Press.
"They have made it clear that they do not want us because of our name, our show and our crowd," Adler said. "The word from the powers that be is that Lamb of God is not the wholesome family fun that the good people of Los Angeles deserve."
The band intends to perform in Los Angeles and is fielding other offers.

Skindred Frontman Comments on Video
Skindred frontman, Benji, has commented on the bands recent video shoot for the song 'Pressure':
"Word up people, We just got back from shooting the video to Pressure in La, we all felt that we needed a video with a difference, not just another performance video. A director called Vem just came with a treatment that was pretty unique, so we went for that. We are sure some will love it and some will say it sucks but that's the way it goes, it should be finished in a few weeks. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to put your ideas together and posting them to us, respect and much love.. look out for the video to Pressure real soon!"
Great White Frontman Refuses To Respond To Suit
Great White vocalist Jack Russell is refusing to respond to the allegations made in civil law suits brought by right families of those who died in a fire at a club on Rhode Island in 2003, started by the band's pyrotechnics. He reportedly fears that he might still face criminal charges.

Metallica, Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Green Day are all expected to have songs included on the soundtrack album for the movie 'Batman Begins'. The record should be released in May/June.
Alice In Chains To Reform For Benefit Show
The remaining members of Alice In Chais - Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez and Sean Kinney - are to play their first show together since 1996. This will happen at the Premiere Club in Seattle in February, at a tsunami benefit show. They'll be joined by an as yet unnamed vocalist.
Machine Head and Lamb of God To Join Forces
According to a posting on MACHINE HEAD's web site, LAMB OF GOD have asked MACHINE HEAD to be a part of their U.S. Midwest tour beginning in May. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon. MACHINE HEAD then plan to embark on a headlining stint immediately afterward in support of their upcoming live DVD, "Through the Ashes of England".
As previously reported, "Through the Ashes of England" was filmed at MACHINE HEAD's Dec. 5 headlining performance at the Brixton Academy in London, U.K. The show marked the first time MACHINE HEAD ever used pyrotechnics live. In addition, the band finished off the night playing encores of SEPULTURA, PANTERA and METALLICA tracks.
MACHINE HEAD recently completed their mammoth "World Turns Blue To Gray" European headlining tour with GOD FORBID and CALIBAN

#1 This Week: Bolton Takes On Branigan [VIDEO]
Subscribe to Mix 94.1 on
January 27, 1990
This week's top 5 on the Billboard chart had a more of a dance feel to it, and there are 3 songs that have pretty much gone into obscurity. Remember Technotronic, Jody Watley or Seduction?
Their respective songs; "Pump Up The Volume," "Everything" and "Two To Make It Right" were all sitting in the top 5 this week, along with Rod Stewart's "Downtown Train."
The song that sat at the top-spot this week was from Michael Bolton. Most people remember Bolton as a Balladeer of the late 80's and early 90's, but believe or not he actually could "rock" pretty good in his early days. The only problem was, he didn't get a lot of radio airplay at that time. Our #1 This Week actually was song that had previous success on the charts 7 years earlier by Laura Branigan. Remember "Gloria"?
Branigan took it to #12, but with Michael at the vocal "helm" it went all the way to #1 for 3 weeks. And he scored a Grammy for Pop Male Vocal for his version.
Our #1 This Week is "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You."
Just to show how Bolton could rock, I've included a song he recorded back in 1982, called "Fools Game."

The war between big box hardware rivals Bunnings and Masters has stepped up a notch, with a group of Bunnings leaders registering the name Masters Home Improvement Limited as a trademark in New Zealand.
The New Zealand company was incorporated in May 2011, headed by Bunnings managing director
A Bunnings spokesperson denied the move had anything to do with its Woolworths-owned competitor.
"Bunnings has a number of exclusive ranges that use the word "master" in their branding in New Zealand and it was commercially appropriate to protect them, and as such the trademark was registered in mid-2011," the spokesperson said.
It is the latest instalment in an expensive tit-for-tat battle between Wesfarmers-owned Bunnings and Woolworths-owned Masters, and not the first-time Bunnings has attempted to pre-emptively nail its rival.
The Australian Financial Review reported in 2010 that Bunnings had gazumped Woolworths on a large commercial site in Queensland's Hervey Bay, situated directly opposite its established big-box hardware outlet.
Bunnings paid almost $10 million for the site at 200 Boat Harbour Drive – almost double its market value.
Bunnings also joined Victorian councils in lobbying against the Masters brand roll-out across the state.
Woolworths has previously accused Bunnings of coercing its suppliers not to sell to Masters.
Last year the Federal Court found Sydney businessman Bruce Binns had "intentionally hijacked" US motorhome brand Winnebago and traded using a similar logo for decades.
Anita Cade, a partner in intellectual property at Ashurst, says there are protections in place to protect companies having their brand hijacked, even if they haven't registered a trademark.
"If you have developed a reputation in Australia for your brand and someone else comes along and notices you haven't registered your trademark even though you have built up a reputation, and they think they are being clever and register a trademark, there are provisions for the person who owns the brand to prevent a person from succeeding with their trademark registration."
Overseas businesses can also sue a local copycat if they can argue they already had a reputation here, and the laws in New Zealand are similar. But without that local reputation, it would be harder.
"Using the Australian analogy, if a brand such as Masters does not have a reputation in Australia, then it would be much easier for another organisation to register a trademark and prevent the true brand owner from overseas from coming into Australia and using its same brand name in Australia," Cade says. "You do find from time to time that businesses in certain countries have slightly different names."

This year's presidential race comes as states are considering ways to legalize online wagers, an issue on which the two candidates have taken different stances.
At the same time, political contributions by the casino industry have risen as the industry has grown.
Mitt Romney has said he opposes online wagering, while the Obama administration has taken steps that could ultimately clear the way for Internet betting.
But the industry does not seem to be supporting one candidate over the other, said Joseph S. Weinert, senior vice president of Linwood's Spectrum Gaming Group.
Democrats have received more political contributions this cycle from the casino industry, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Democrats have received $6.4 million from the industry to Republicans' $5.8 million, according to figures released in early September.
An additional $20.3 million was allocated to political action committees and so-called "Super PACs" that have a greater ability to spend on candidates.
In 1992, the casino industry gave $484,019, according to the center. Of that, 71 percent went to Democrats and 29 percent to Republicans. The center ranked the casino industry 75th most generous out of more than 80 industries.
Twenty years later, the center reported the casino industry has contributed more than $32.5 million, as of early September. Direct contributions still favored Democrats, 52 percent to 48 percent, but the industry's ranking rose to 15th most generous.
But Weinert said the partisan discrepancy could be because Democrats represent more gambling jurisdictions. Furthermore, Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has been a major proponent of online gaming, Weinert pointed out.
"The bigger context is the economy," Weinert said, and support would likely hinge on whose economic proposals seem better.
Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business Magazine, said, "In general the top guys are pretty clear where they are standing," starting with Sheldon Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp.
Casino money "never has been that important," Gros said, "but when you have Sheldon Adelson, who has a billion dollars to spare, it becomes very important."
Adelson has been a Republican contributor since the 1990s. He started playing an outsized role in the presidential campaign in January, when he and his wife, Miriam, together donated $10 million to Winning Our Future, a super PAC that supported former candidate Newt Gingrich's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
Adelson has since pledged "limitless" support for Republican nominee Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates, telling Forbes magazine that he did so to stop President Barack Obama's "socialization" of America and to secure closer ties to Israel.
Obama also offended other Las Vegas casino industry officials, Gros said.
Gros pointed to comments Obama made in 2009 when the president said of federal spending, "You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime." At a town-hall meeting the following year, Obama said, "You don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college."
Gros said Obama "didn't really apologize for that in a fashion that the industry would have liked to have seen."
Officials have been quiet in Atlantic City, the nation's second-largest gaming jurisdiction. Jon Bombardieri, lobbyist and spokesman for the Casino Association of New Jersey, declined to comment, as did association President Tony Rodio, who heads Tropicana Casino and Resort. Other casino executives also declined comment.
Under Obama, the Justice Department in 2011 interpreted the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 in a way that was seen as friendly to gambling. That interpretation said the law, which previously barred Internet wagers, applied only to sports betting. Since then, New Jersey and a number of other states have sought to host e-wagers.
In a response to an online petition to license and regulate online poker, Brian Deese, a special assistant to Obama for economic policy, wrote in May that Internet wagering is an issue for the states. He said the Obama administration was concerned about the potential for fraud, money laundering and underage gambling.
Romney has taken different positions on the topic of gambling throughout his political career.
He is a Mormon, who in following the teachings of the faith, does not gamble. But when Romney unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in 1994, the Boston Globe reported that he supported a proposed casino, saying it was a decision for the community to make.
Running for governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney supported closing a $2 billion state budget hole with a taxpaying casino, the Globe reported.
Once in office, Romney proposed raising $300 million to $800 million with video slot machines, but the state Legislature rejected the proposal. The Globe reported he also called on casino operators in Rhode Island and Connecticut to pay $75 million to keep Massachusetts from developing its own casino, but that never came to pass.
Gambling has not been a major issue in the presidential race, but before the Nevada primary in February, Romney told a Las Vegas television station that he generally opposed online gambling opportunities because "Gaming has a social effect on a lot of people."
He also told KSNV-TV that he opposed online wagers because there is plenty of gambling access currently and that some states use gambling tax proceeds for public purposes, and online gambling would not improve that.
The Republican Party also formally opposes Internet wagering. In this year's platform, the party said it supported the prohibition of Internet betting and called for the reversal of the federal Justice Department's gaming-friendly interpretation of the Interstate Wire Act. Casino industry officials said they saw this as Adelson's influence.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hello, sorry to hear your having trouble.
First of all, I'd like to ask a few questions to get the ball rolling.
Before this error occurred, were there any changes to your laptop that you know of--(Installed or Un-installed programs, deleted any files, or add/removed any hardware)?
Ah, that's no fun. Perhaps there is some luck involved and the virus only did damage to the NTLDR file and nothing else of importance.
Give me a few minutes while I review some information about the NTLDR file.
Also, I see you have Windows XP. Would you happen to know if it's "Home, Professional, or MCE?" If not then that's ok.
From the sounds of it, we may have to attempt to replace that NTLDR file through a command prompt. I'll get back with you shortly with more information.
Ok, would you happen to have your Windows XP Installation cd? We will need this to "Boot from the CD" and enter a command prompt. Thanks.
Alright, assuming you have your Windows XP cd, insert the CD into the CD-Rom of your toshiba laptop. Power off and power on the laptop.
Depending on the model of your laptop, you may need to press the "C" key to boot to the cd-rom or perhaps the F12 key to open a boot selection menu. If you enter the menu, you'll want to boot from the cd/dvd drive.
Immediately following, you may see the words "Press any key to boot from CD...."
Immediatly press a key.
You will then see "Windows Setup" in the top left of the screen.
Give it a minute or two to load the necessary files.
You will then see a menu with the following options:
"To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER"
"To repair a Windows XP Installation using the Recovery Console, press R"
"To quit setup without installing Windows XP, press F3"
Press "R" to use the Recovery Console.
The screen will turn black and begin to boot into the Recovery Console.
You will then be prompted to select a Windows Installation.
On some systems, there is a 1, and a 2. One of them being a Recovery partition and the other being a "C:\WINDOWS" partition.
Type the number next to "C:\WINDOWS" and press ENTER.
It will ask you to type in the Administrator password. This is generally blank unless it has been changed by you or another user.
Type in the password XXXXX you know it and press ENTER. Otherwise, if it is blank, press ENTER.
You are now at the C:\WINDOWS command prompt.
Now you need to know the "Drive Letter" of your cd-rom drive. This is sort of a hit and miss operation to find it.
Generally, when it asked you to select a Windows Installation there was a 1 and 2 to select from. The C:\WINDOWS install or the recovery install.
If there was ONLY 1 selection and no more, your CD-ROM drive letter should be "D:\"
If there were 2 installs to select from, your CD-ROM drive letter should be "E:\"
If there were 3 installs to select from, your CD-ROM drive letter should be "F:\"
At any rate, there is usually no more than 2. So your CD-ROM drive letter is going to be E:\ or D:\ if this is the case.
First, at the "C:\WINDOWS>" command prompt, I want you to type E: and press enter.
If this is a valid drive, your new prompt will be "E:\>"
If not, it will give you an error stating that "The specified drive is not valid, or there is no disk in the drive."
If this is the case, type D: and press enter.
If this is a valid drive, your new prompt will be "D:\>"
After you are at your CD-ROM prompt (E:\> or D:\>), I want you to type the command DIR and press enter.
If you are at the correct CD-ROM prompt you will get a list with some or all of the following files:
..and so on...
This ensures that you have the correct drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.
After you have confirmed this, at the command prompt, type C: and press enter.
This should return you to the C:\WINDOWS> prompt.
Now the fun part.
Whichever your cd-rom drive letter is, you will use that in the following commands. We will use E:\ in this example. If yours is D:\, use that in the following commands instead of E:\.
At the C:\WINDOWS> command prompt, type:
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
and press ENTER.
The result should be, "1 file(s) copied."
Now, at the C:\WINDOWS> command prompt, type:
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\and press ENTER.
You have now successfully replaced the NTLDR and NTDETECT files (which work together).
Type EXIT and press ENTER.
Your laptop will restart. Be sure to remove the Windows XP CD from the cd-rom drive to prevent it from booting back to the cd.
As long as no more system files have been corrupted, your Windows XP installation should boot up succesfully and you can now continue to use your laptop!
If for some reason this does not correct the NTLDR issue, please post back to me so we can try other options.
Please be sure to "ACCEPT" this answer if it works for you so that I may retrieve your deposit and leave a positive feedback for you. If you were satisfied with my service, please do the same for me. Thank you for using JustAnswer. It's been a pleasure assisting you.
Please do not hesitate to further pursue this issue if this was not a cure to your problem. I will still be available to support you if this has not corrected it.
Thanks again and enjoy the holidays!

Telefonix L1 PowerPost Electric Vehicle Charging Station Compatibility Confirmed by Nissan
WAUKEGAN, Ill., Aug. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Telefonix, Inc., a leader in cord reel technology and manufacturer of the PowerPost commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging station product line, has confirmed that the company's L1 PowerPost electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) has been tested at the Nissan Technical Center in Plymouth, Michigan. The Company reports that the L1 PowerPost EVSE is fully compatible with the Nissan LEAF battery electric vehicle.

The testing procedure at Nissan simulates various charging situations and fault conditions. Says Bill Williams of Telefonix, "The results we've received from Nissan confirm that the L1 PowerPost EV charging station is not only compatible with the LEAF, but also compliant with SAE J1772 best practice recommendations."
Telefonix developed the L1 PowerPost EVSE specifically for workplace charging and longer term parking situations such as airports, hotels and education facilities. LEAF and other plug-in vehicle drivers put approximately 5 miles back into their battery for every hour they are plugged into the L1 PowerPost electric vehicle charging station. This low current charging helps reduce overall energy costs by avoiding spikes that can increase a facility's peak energy demand.
The L1 PowerPost EVSE can be customized with advertising or logos as seen above at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, Illinois.
Visit www.PowerPostEVSE.com for more information.

Orange School Board member begins campaign for commissioner post
Rick Roach, a veteran educator and Orange School Board member since 1998, has contacted friends to let them know he will apply for Florida education commissioner. He also asked them to back his candidacy, if they agree with his views.
"I have long been concerned with the direction of education in our state and I have been a very vocal critic as many of you know. So, I have decided to either stop complaining or step up and do something about it," he wrote. "I feel I am highly qualified as my resume will attest, passionate about the job as my letter of application should show, and feel confident I could make a very positive difference for our children, the future leaders of Florida. Please read my letter of application and my resume. If you agree with me, it would help if you could write a letter of support."
Roach has lately made headlines for his opposition to the FCAT, which was first discussed in a Washington Post column. Time will tell how his application for commissioner will be viewed. See his letter and resume attached below. His would be the 17th candidacy announced publicly so far. The State Board of Education earlier this week extended its search through November, to give top candidates more time to apply.

Less than two months after two possible weather-related fatal crashes of EMS helicopters in Illinois and Iowa, the FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SW-08-03R3) covering recommendations for rotorcraft powered by turboshaft engines flying into snowy or icy conditions. The SAIB describes procedures to reduce the probability of an uncommanded in-flight engine shutdown due to snow and/or ice ingestion and reminds operators that most helicopters are not approved/equipped for flight-into-icing conditions.
The FAA recommends that pilots abide by their rotorcraft flight manual regarding flight into these conditions; conduct a thorough preflight weather evaluation; install engine inlet and exhaust inserts/covers whenever an aircraft is on the ground with engines not operating; refrain from prolonged engine idling/running while on the ground; thoroughly inspect inlets for ice/snow prior to takeoff; and remove any discovered ice/snow from inlets with either de-icing fluid or heated air, not by chipping or scraping.
The FAA notes, "In freezing temperatures, pay particular attention to sheet ice on the bottom and forward of the inlet. This ice can also form behind particle separators. Engine preheating may be required."
In-flight indications of icing include visual cues, such as "ice accumulation on mirrors, wipers and antennas. Pilots should also be mindful of possible increased vibrations or power requirements. The degraded performance of the helicopter may be due to increased weight and possible degraded rotor performance due to accreting ice."
Pilots need to be aware of conditions that promote ice formation, including visible moisture and temperatures below 5 degrees C (41 degrees F). "Pilots should be aware that icing is possible in these ambient conditions and should be prepared to leave the area of visible moisture or change to a warmer altitude as soon as possible. (Note: This 'warmer' altitude may not always be a lower altitude.)"
The SAIB includes links to resources such as NASA's Icing Tool, the helicopter emergency medical systems flight tool and Transport Canada's Aviation Safety Letter article about helicopter operation in icing.
