Fish And Chips
I made some Fish and Chips (commonly known in the UK), using some fresh Halibut fillets and fresh cut potatoes. The batter that coated the fish fillet was light, crunchy, and flavorful. Like all fried food, it's also a tad oily; but, can't be helped I supposed. As for the chips/french fries, they were soaked in cold water for at least an hour or overnight to remove the starch so that the fries will be crispier. The fries are then done using a two stage-fry method: the first, fried at 340˚F and the second stage, fried again at 390˚F. They were fantastic, best eaten immediately to enjoy the fries' maximum crispiness.
Recipe adapted from The Dean & DeLuca Cookbook by David Rosengarten with Joel Dean & Georgio DeLuca
Fish And Chips
(Printable Recipe)
2 Pieces Halibut Fillets, halved
Sea Salt
All-Purpose Flour
¾ Cup All-Purpose Flour
¾ tsp Sea Salt
½ tsp Freshly Ground Pepper
¼ Cup Milk
¾ Beer
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Melted Butter
French Fries/Potato Chips
6 Large Russet Potatoes, peeled
1 quart Vegetable Oil for deep-frying
About 1 cup Cornstarch for light coating
Coarse Salt
Chips/French Fries: Trim the potatoes in the shape of a rectangle. Cut into ¼ inch slices and then cut into ¼ inch fries. Put in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 1 hour or preferable overnight.
When ready to fry, heat oil in a deep, heavy, straight-sided pot to 340˚F. Add a small batch of potatoes straight from the water. (Stand back as the oil will splatter. Make sure to separate the French fries from each other, with a fork, right after you add them to the oil.) Fry the potatoes, in small batches, for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they look blistered on the surface. (This step essentially blanches the potatoes, so there should be very little color on the potatoes.) Remove to a sheet tray lined with paper towels.
When ready to serve, heat oil to 390˚F. Place the once-cooked potatoes in a large colander, and toss lightly with cornstarch. Fry potatoes, again in small batches, for about 2 minutes, until French fries are deep golden brown and remove to a sheet tray lined with paper towels and sprinkle generously with coarse salt. Serve immediately with for maximum crispiness.
Fried Halibut: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, add the milk, beer and egg, whisk the mixture until smooth and whisk in the melted butter.
Then whisk the beer mixture into the flour, whisking until smooth. Let rest for 1 hour.
When ready to cook, dry fish well, salt and coat lightly with flour, and then dip in the batter. Let excess batter drip off, and then fry the fish in 360˚F vegetable oil until golden brown outside, just cooked within. Serve immediately.

Angie...great recipe and great photos. love your composition ! :)) Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I will use beer for the batter the next time I fry fish and chips :))ReplyDelete
I don't mind a tad oily, as long as it's super crisp. When I order fish and chips in the States, the biggest disappointment is that the exterior is not crispy enough. Sigh.ReplyDelete
Your fish and chips look so crispy! I bet they were so amazing. I found one recipe without alcohol; I wonder if I could use something else in place of the beer even though it is authentic.ReplyDelete
what a great recipe and such stunning pictures!ReplyDelete
FISH n CHIPS!!! Who doesn't love that?ReplyDelete

Sounds Lovely!ReplyDelete
Don't soak chips in water overnight though.
This makes them soggy!
They should always be peeled, chopped, rinsed if necessary and dried meticulously before use! x
Don't forget the tartare sauce for this fish and the malt vinegar for the chips! :)ReplyDelete
Amazing looking fish n chips!ReplyDelete
Maybe it's because I'm American, but I've never ever tried fish and chips. I really don't know why, but it might be because it's just not what I'd think to make for a snack food! But this looks pretty tasty, I must say! Thanks for sharing and giving me a new perspective on fish and chips!ReplyDelete
Hello AngieReplyDelete
Your picture (and the recipe no less) is delightful. I have used it in a post and linked to your page. Oh, and I am now following you too. I'd hate to miss out on more recipes like this. :)
Best regards

London bans lorries without safety equipment
London bans lorries without safety equipment
The move was announced today by the Mayor of London and London Councils - the representative body for the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London.
By working together, the ban can be effectively enforced on every street in London.
This could come into effect as early as September.
The proposed ban will require every vehicle in London over 3.5 tonnes - a disproportionate cause of cyclist and pedestrian deaths - to be fitted with sideguards to protect cyclists from being dragged under the wheels. It will also require them to be fitted with mirrors giving the driver a better view of cyclists and pedestrians around their vehicles. It will be enforced by CCTV cameras and on-street checks, subject to approval by the Department for Transport.
Neither I nor the boroughs have the power to ban lorries without safety equipment on our own. It was for that reason that I proposed to use a power I do have, to levy a hefty charge on lorries without such equipment. But I am pleased to say that after negotiations with London Councils, we can now combine our powers to propose a simple and comprehensive ban.
Boris Johnson
Mayor of London
Currently most freight vehicles must already feature mirrors and sideguards, but many construction vehicles are exempt from these regulations. The new restrictions would include the construction industry, whose vehicles were involved in 7 of the 9 cyclists' deaths in 2013.
Long term approach
However, CTC has suggested a more radical long term approach to the danger posed by large vehicles in city centres. Over time, the Mayor should be aiming to remove these vehicles altogether, with loads shifted onto smaller, electric vehicles with lower cabs to eliminate lorry drivers' so-called 'blind-spots'. Such a move would reduce air pollution (which kills thousands in London every year), noise levels, as well as being safer for pedestrians and cyclists alike.
Furthermore, major roads should be designed with high quality segregated infrastructure, so that cyclists and lorries are separated at junctions, where nearly all of these collisions occur.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Donald Trump fired himself Friday from the casino company that bears his name.
Spurned by bond holders who rejected his effort to buy Trump Entertainment Resorts, the real estate mogul and his daughter Ivanka are resigning from its board of directors.
He called the troubled casino company he once controlled "worthless to me now." He is the largest shareholder, owning more than a quarter of its stock, yet stressed that it comprises "substantially less than 1 percent of my net worth."
U.S. & World
The company won a fourth extension Wednesday on restructuring $1.25 billion in debt, and some analysts have predicted it will file for bankruptcy protection for a third time if it doesn't work out a deal with its bond holders.
"If I'm not going to run it, I don't want to be involved in it," Trump told The Associated Press Friday night. "I'm one of the largest developers in the world. I have a lot of cash and plenty of places I can go."
Trump said he recently offered to buy the company, which he used to control before relinquishing his grip as part of a bankruptcy restructuring.
For now, his name will remain on the company's three Atlantic City casinos, although Trump said he may seek legal avenues to removing his name from the business.
"I don't like that my name is still going to be on it," he said.
He also said he wants to sell his shares in the company, although it was not clear when that might happen, or whether he would even be able to under securities laws if he possesses information about the company that is not publicly known.
The company would not identify the bond holders or who represents them.
Trump said allies of the bond holders have a 5-to-3 edge on the board of Trump Entertainment Resorts, leading him to believe he was not likely to prevail any time soon in talks on the company's future direction.
The company skipped a $53.1 million biannual payment due bond holders last Dec. 1. That triggered talks on restructuring the debt, which have been extended four times. The next deadline is Tuesday.
Mark Juliano, the company's chief executive, said talks are ongoing, adding he expects them to continue through Tuesday. He declined to respond to Trump's criticism of the way the company has been managed.
"While The Trump Organization grows and flourishes, Trump Entertainment Resorts, of which I am a stockholder, has languished," Trump said. "The Trump Organization's portfolio of residential, commercial, hotel, and golf properties has expanded all over the world, while Trump Entertainment Resorts has yet to diversify outside of Atlantic City.
"I have watched the collapse in enterprise value of the Atlantic City Tropicana, where bondholders' values have been reduced to almost nothing," he continued. "I do not want to take part in a similar fiasco here."
The Tropicana Casino and Resort has been run by a state-appointed trustee for 14 months after its former owners were stripped of their casino license. It is due to be sold soon at a bankruptcy auction, but creditors may try to block such a sale, fearing it wouldn't fetch enough of a price to pay them back much.
Trump Entertainment owns three Atlantic City casinos but is in the process of selling one, Trump Marina Hotel Casino, to a former protege of Donald Trump. Its other properties are the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

Their Littlebird chopper is on par with BBI's as well.
Their Blackhawk is underscaled but nice IMO.
They make a great Warthog too which is difficult to get. Very Wild Weasel-ish.
I thought the red and blue Humvees/LB's were made specifically for online retailers like Smalljoes to sell to Joe folks for "Cobra" stuff? I could be wrong on that... For some reason I was thinking that SJ had something up about them getting those specifically from the manufacturer that way.There was a different colored Warthog too I thought, or maybe that was rumored and didn't happen? It'd look sweet in all black as like Wild Weasel's squad or something, haha.

iPhone vs. Android a tight race but iPad puts iOS 'way ahead' in mobile OS war
During Apple's Q1 2012 earnings conference call on Tuesday, Cook made it clear that he believes iOS is a key component to the company's future, saying that the success of the iPhone 4S and iPad is indicative of a slow move away from the desktop PC.
When asked if iOS versus Android was becoming a two-horse race similar to the Mac and Windows rivalry, Cook explained that the mobile device market is much more nuanced and is a very important facet to Apple's sustainability.
"The Mac has outgrown the market for over 20 quarters in a row, but still has a single digit percentage of the worldwide market," Cook said. "iOS, you look at phones, tablets, the iPod touch, we've sold over 350 million iOS devices. Over 62 million of those were done in the last quarter alone."
In looking at recent data from analytics firms, the iPhone has been showing steady growth when compared to Android handsets. Despite a shortage of supply, Apple managed to move 37 million iPhones last quarter.
For the Oct./Nov. period in the U.S., which accounts for only a portion of iPhone 4S sales, NPD saw Apple's smartphone holding a 43% market share while Android had 47%. A following report from Nielsen, which adds in month of Decemberm shows iPhone market share slowly increasing to 45% while Android holds steady at 47%.
"It seems like all of the data that I've seen in the U.S. would say that it's a very close race in iPhone [and Android]," Cook notes. "I wouldn't say it's a two-horse race, there's a horse in Redmond that always suits up and always runs and will keep running, and there's other players that we can never count out."
Cook said that Apple will somewhat ignore how many "horses" there are in the crowded mobile marketplace and focus on innovating to "make sure [it's] the lead one."

In looking to the future of iOS products, Cook commented that tablets like the iPad will one day surpass the PC market, and sees Apple's offering as being peerless among a litany of models running on Android, Windows and other platforms.
Citing recent IDC data that shows desktop sales in the U.S. were trumped by tablet sales during the last quarter of 2011, Cook claims that there are different indicators for significant momentum in the space.
"We're really happy with the 15.4 million iPads that we were able to sell," Cook said. "This is consistent with our long-term belief that we've had since before we introduced the product that this is a huge opportunity for Apple over time."
The Apple chief doesn't see other tablets like Amazon's Kindle Fire or similar Android models as threats to the iPad's crown. Cook notes that consumers want to use their tablets in a variety of ways and the "limited function" tablets and e-readers simply don't have Apple's robust ecosystem of over 170,000 iPad-optimized apps.
"I think on the iPad side, although I don't have specific numbers to share from third parties, I think that all of us inherently believe that iPad is way ahead there," Cook said, adding that "there's really no comparable product to iPod touch out there, so iOS is doing extremely well. What we focus on is innovating and making the world's best product."

Press Coverage
Open wide: Hardee's offers 920-calorie burrito
Oct 15, 2007
By Jim Salter, AP Business Writer
ST. LOUIS -- The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again -- this time for breakfast.
Hardee's on Monday rolled out its Country Breakfast Burrito -- two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.
Brad Haley, marketing chief for the fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.
"It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.
In 2003 the chain introduced a line of big sandwiches, including the Monster Thickburger. The 1,420-calorie sandwich is made up of two 1/3-pound slabs of beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered bun.

library school
library school, educational institution providing professional training for librarians (see also library). Librarians were trained by apprenticeship until the late 19th cent. The first school for training librarians was established by Melvil Dewey in 1887. The success of this institution, combined with a shortage of librarians in a period of growth and expansion, led to a proliferation of such schools, many of which were inadequate. With the formation of the Association of American Library Schools in 1915, standards of accreditation were established and maintained. A number of university schools of library service were established in the 1920s, many of them funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
In 1999, 56 U.S. and Canadian institutions offering training in librarianship were accredited by the American Library Association. These schools require a minimum of five years' study beyond the secondary level: The four years of undergraduate study constitute a general education in the humanities and natural and social sciences; the fifth year is in professional study at the graduate level and leads to a master's degree. The first school to confer the doctoral degree in library science was the Univ. of Chicago. Some of the schools are part of a university (as at the Univ. of Illinois); others are at independent undergraduate institutions (e.g., Pratt Institute). As libraries adopted the use of computer databases and on-line catalogs, the schools added a broader range of courses in information science and technology in order to acquaint future librarians with a variety of media.
The first library school outside the United States and Canada was founded at the Univ. of London in 1917. In many underdeveloped countries, university library schools have been established by grants from UNESCO and other sources, employing at the outset European- or American-trained staff. This staff is replaced as soon as possible with local personnel. Although the number of non-American library schools has steadily increased, many foreign librarians are still trained in the United States.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The King University men's basketball team continued their tough schedule early in the season as they traveled to take on 14th ranked University of Southern Indiana on Friday night at the Bill Joergens Memorial Classic. The Tornado kept the game close in the first half, but in the end, the Screaming Eagles' shooting and rebounding proved to be too much as they took the game 94-72.
The Tornado (2-3) came out and went blow-for-blow with the #14 team in the country as Logan Lyle gave King the early lead with a three-point basket nearly two minutes into the game. Lyle gave the lead back to King with another triple, and evened the score at 11 with another long range shot with just over 14 minutes remaining in the first half.
Southern Indiana (3-0) then scored seven straight points before Drew Standifer made back-to-back layups. After the Screaming Eagles stretched their lead to eight points, Lyle connected on his fourth three-point basket of the half to make the score 23-18 with nine minutes left in the first stanza.
King got within five points again twice following jump shots by Shamarae Watts and Standifer before the Screaming Eagles began to pull away. Their advantage sat a nine points, 35-26 at the final media timeout before Southern Indiana scored five quick points to earn a 14 point margin. The lead grew to as many as 16 with under minute to go before C.J. Good drilled a King's sixth three-point basket of the half to pull the Tornado within 45-32 at the break.
King shot 40.6 percent from the floor while making 30.0 percent of their three-point attempts while the Screaming Eagles shot 47.4 percent from the floor, including 44.4 percent from long range. Southern Indiana also outrebounded the Tornado 27-12 in the first half, including 11 offensive rebounds.
The Screaming Eagles started the second half on an 8-3 run to extend their lead to 53-35 before the Tornado started to comeback. Calvin Walker made a jump shot before Watts connected on a three-point basket. LeVeau then cut the King deficit to 54-43 with another triple with just over 15 minutes remaining.
Southern Indiana stretched their lead back to 17 before King got back within 14 points on a pair of occasions, but the Tornado couldn't get any closer the rest of the way as Southern Indiana's shooting proved to be too much. The Screaming Eagle lead grew to as many as 22 as Southern Indiana took the 94-72 win.
Southern Indiana shot 57.4 percent from the floor, including a 50.0 percent mark from three while King shot 44.6 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from long range. The Screaming Eagles outrebounded King 45-22.
Lyle led King with 15 points, all coming from three-point range while LeVeau added 14 points. Watts, Standifer, and Crompton all chipped in with eight points while Michael Fortune came within one assist of his career-high, dishing out a season-high nine helpers.
The Tornado won't have long to think about the loss as they are in action again tomorrow against #3 Bellarmine University at the Bill Joergens Memorial Classic hosted by Southern Indiana. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. CT, 6:15 p.m. ET.

From arming more officers to remodeling part of a courtroom, Hamilton County leaders are eyeing ways to tighten security at the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Courts Building.
Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger said Thursday the changes were requested by General Sessions Court judges wanting to tighten security.
No specific incident or threat triggered the shift, he said.
"In Sessions Court there are more people and emotions are running higher because it's often the first appearance for the defendants and victims going through the court process," Coppinger said. "We want to make sure they feel secure to do their jobs."
Starting Monday, armed Hamilton County sheriff's deputies who once stood at the entrance to the courts building will be moved inside the General Sessions courtrooms.
That means each courtroom that is in session will have three officers -- two of whom are armed.
The deputies who once stood at the building's entrances will be replaced with two armed security officers from Walden Security.
Walden Security already has officers stationed at the courthouse entrance alongside the deputies, but they are now unarmed.
Arming two extra security guards will cost $23,000, which will be tacked onto the county's contract with Walden Security.
Coppinger said the move saves the county from having to hire two additional full-time deputies.
The Hamilton County Commission also will consider a measure next week to add $8,000 to the county's maintenance budget to remodel one of the courtrooms to include more safety features, with a higher dais for the judge's bench and metal-plated wood for the bench.
Commissioner Jim Fields, who is an attorney, asked why there was an immediate need to refurbish the room, which used to be used for jurors.
"I've never heard of any incident where a judge has been harmed in that courtroom," Fields said.
Commissioner Greg Beck, who has been a court officer in the building for 12 years, said he had "no question" the remodeling would add to judges' safety.
"You're only as secure as you feel. And they don't really feel secure," he said.
Several commissioners referred to the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., this month as part of their motivation to support the remodeling.
"We just think, 'It's been like this all along and nothing's happened. That's when it's going to happen," Beck said.

Tech:Table of contents makes too much whitespace
Moved from en:Wikitravel:Bug reports by Evan
What happens[edit]
The table of contents in a page makes a lot of whitespace right at the beginning of an article (see http://evan.prodromou.name/images/San_Diego.png for an example). It would be nice to move it to the left nav area or to a new nav area on the right side of the screen. See en:Wikitravel talk:Table of contents location for more discussion on the issue.
It would be nice to make this optional per-language version. For example, de: users seem really opposed to it and are happy with other solutions for working around the whitespace problem. --Evan 16:41, 17 June 2006 (EDT)
New ToC style[edit]
New, new style[edit]
So, I've created a new, new style that's visible on review, see http://wikitravel.org/review/France for an example. It puts the ToC in the upper-left-hand corner of the content area. This doesn't interfere with the navigation area, and since we almost always put our quickbars, images, etc. on the right of the page, it doesn't interfere with them, either. I need to figure out some CSS magic to pull the "twist down" arrows out to the right of the ToC entries (so they line up correctly), and tighten up the whitespace inside and outside of the box. But it's where I'd like to go with this.
The only pages where I've seen this cause a problem is when there's a very short lede (first paragraph) and a long list of regions or cities which wrap around the end of the ToC. I'll see what I can do to fix that. --Evan 14:11, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
As I see it, you're trying to achieve three things with your new ToC:-
1) Make the page look better.
a) reduce considerably the padding inside the left and right margins of the box so that it becomes considerably narrower (I congratulate you on wrapping individual headings within the ToC already and using two smaller fonts for headings and sub-headings which are both a big improvement).
2) Make the ToC more helpful and usable for users
c) default to ToC fully expanded right down to third level sub headings
3) Do a bit of future-proofing for clever stuff to come.
If you follow my suggestion, then you will have substantially eliminated the need for customised ToC placement!
The reason I want to have the ToC on the right is that once we have the ToC safely out of the way, we can get it to float. That will be much better for navigation. — Ravikiran r 03:17, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
And again[edit]
A new version is up on Wikitravel review; see http://wikitravel.org/review/France. There's still one layout bug -- toc entries that are longer than one line wrap funny -- but otherwise I think this meets a lot of the requirements from above. I've fixed up the whitespace inside and outside the box so it doesn't take too much space nor bump into list items. I've replaced the arrows with pluses and minuses (putting a plus or minus over the tiny arrowheads didn't look very good), and I've made them align to the left of the text. I didn't add a "hide for printing" note; I'm just going to make it so the printable versions don't have a (useless) ToC.
Please give your comments. --Evan 12:04, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
I think this new latest version is great. Only things I saw and didn't like were already mentioned above... 2nd level needs more indenting, and + signs slightly too big... but I think this is much nicer looking than the current TOC. Would also vote for it being collapsed by default... – cacahuate talk 21:00, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
I like it a lot! Excellent job. I think this is production ready. I agree with some of the comments, but they are very minor and can be fixed as we go along. The funky wrap on long lines does not look that great, but again this can be fixed and improved upon later. The massive white space is gone. I give two thumbs up! Great job Evan. -- Xltel 21:48, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
The "collapsed by default" thing would make a nice preference since a lot of people would probably rather NOT have it collapsed (myself included). Assuming you're using Javascript then it should be reasonably easy to just set a cookie to remember the collapsed-or-not state, but if you're ready to push this live soon then that might make a nice enhancement for later. A more difficult issue is going to be getting all versions to give their OK on this - any thoughts on how to roll this out without starting a revolt? Perhaps an email to the admin list asking admins to add their comments and post a message in the language-specific pubs requesting feedback? Maybe set a planned rollout date of 01-May so enough people can chime in? -- Ryan 00:43, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
When it happens[edit]
TOC and viewing differences[edit]
Well, I think the new table of contents looks great. The only problem I see is that it now appears at the top when viewing differences, pushing the differences over so that one has to sidescroll to see everything. Can we suppress the TOC when viewing differences, as we did before? Or simply push it down below the differences into the article where it would normally appear? Texugo 17:43, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
Purely an aesthetic-preference suggestion, not a bug: If the word "contents" (or the language equivalent) at the top of the TOC box were omitted (or moved inside the box if we must, but I don't think the label is necessary), the top of the TOC box would line up with the top of the first line of text. I would find that more pleasing to the eye than having it offset downward as it is now. - TVerBeek 22:51, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
+ sign not working?[edit]
When I click on the + signs nothing is happening... it's not expanding the section... I'm using the latest version of Safari on OSX – cacahuate talk 02:57, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
What should happen[edit]
copied in from Evan's talk page archives... – this I think sums up what still needs doing:
Hope I got em all – cacahuate talk 16:49, 4 June 2007 (EDT)
How to fix it[edit]
I don't think all-sections-below-the-TOC is the best solution; it'd do ugly things to articles with brief intros and longish TOCs (like lots of city articles). Changing the regionlist template so that the left margin can move when it clears the TOC (Do the div tags wrapped around it prevent that? Are they needed for any other reason?) might be preferable. Yes, folks, I did learn at art-and-design school that a jumping left margin is Bad Layout, but I believe it's a lesser sin than the Gaping Hole Of White in the middle of the screen that would result from shoving all sections below the TOC (which is the problem this whole wrappable-TOC exercise was intended to eliminate). - TVerBeek 08:48, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
Hey, my twisty down menus are working in Safari now, thanks Evan – cacahuate talk 23:38, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
a.toc-arrow { float: left; margin-left: -3.5ex; text-decoration: none; }

Sintesi dell'editore
Orson Scott Card, best-selling author of Ender's Game, teams up with Kathryn H. Kidd to launch an epic science fiction saga of space exploration - and a dramatic conflict between human and nonhuman intelligence.
On the Ark, a colonyship bound outward across the stars, not everyone is a volunteer - or even human. Lovelock is a capuchin monkey engineered from conception to be the perfect servant: intelligent, agile, and devoted to his owner. He is a "witness", privileged to spend his days and nights recording the life of one of Earth's most brilliant scientists via digital devices implanted behind his eyes.
But Lovelock is something special among witnesses. He's a little smarter than most humans: smart enough to break through some of his conditioning, smart enough to feel the bonds of slavery - and want freedom.
Set against the awesome scope of interstellar space, and like Speaker for the Dead and Xenocidebefore it, Lovelock probes the provocative interface between humanity and another sentient species.

2.6 dimensional, but good
The story was engaging, the characters interesting, but there was less depth and definition than some of cards other works. Lovelock, while somewhat reminiscent of Bean, is scurrying through a world that doesn't feel nearly as comprehensive as the "enderverse.". the characters are more or less as well developed as in other card novels, but it feels as though they came from a two dimensional world. Initially I found the narrator's style to be rather irritating, but she sounds like such a nice person that I got over it.

Angst, angst and more angst
Has Lovelock turned you off from other books in this genre?
Which scene was your favorite?
Lovelock's computer skills
What character would you cut from Lovelock?
All of them
Any additional comments?
This novel is not science fiction. It is a soap opera containing some of the worst characterization, moral pandering and emotional manipulation I have read - all set in a barebones science fiction theme.
The setting is an "ark" preparing to disembark to colonize a nearby planet. Sad to say, the ship has still not departed by the end of the book and the entire story is about interpersonal reactions between the Members of the Ark. The "crew" consists of characters that would never be allowed within one thousand miles of such an enterprise because they are the most diverse collection of neurotic, anti-social, and dysfunctional characters known to Mankind. Rather than a lone maladjusted person inside a generally "normal" society, this crew can't field a single well adjusted human being in the entire cast.
Don't believe me? We have a super intelligent "enhanced" Capuchin monkey who interacts with: an emotionally unavailable scientist protagonist with little or no maternal instincts towards her two children; her "therapist" husband who discovers he has homosexual tendencies mid way through the book; a pedophile; a sadistic and extremely manipulative mother-in-law married to a Walter Mitty look alike; marital affairs galore and a bevy of manipulative beehive hairdo gossip mongers that include the leader of the "village." Mind you, other than the scientist, not one of these individuals seems to have any valid expertise other than socially related skills such as rudimentary psychology, child care, political, funeral services, etc. - with the possible exception of two quasi computer trained sysop cops that enjoy a paragraph or two before being abandoned.
The story line is mostly a mash of anthropomorphic anti-slavery themes coupled with interpersonal backbiting and squabbling that is an unending cacophony of angst, subjective vitriol and anti-authoritarianism. Several areas of the book start themes that go nowhere-for example, the protagonist makes love with her husband in order to save her marriage by having another child and....what? Don't know because the story never says she gets pregnant or is unsuccessful. In the meantime, her marriage collapses when her husband finds love with another man and the book ends.
The only science fiction element- aside from its story housing - is the concept that you could actually pack enough intelligence and computational power in a Capuchin monkey that it could act as a highly sapient philosopher and computer scientist - particularly when you consider it has a brain pan barely large enough to hold a whiffle ball.
'Nough said.

Soap opera .....
I love orson scott card. I felt like I was reading a Soap Opera. Still enjoyed it.

Too much like a soap opera for my tastes
The initial premise of a sentient "witness" on a space arc drew me to start the book with hopes for a unique read. There were some thought provoking areas regarding race/species/sentience that kept me going. Overall the time spent with the details of most of the characters didn't hook me into their lives and didn't keep the story interesting for me.

It's aight. Not Cards best.
As a veracious fan of Cards books and series', I thought this was rather weak in comparison to his others. But not every one can be as epic as the enderverse or maker world or gate series. It was decent. Makes you think about sentience a bit, but I got most of those thoughts done reading Xenocide. Cute, so a younger reader would love it probably. Not a big fan of the voice artist. Forgive me Card and friends if you ever happen to read this, i'm sure you're all friends. I practice aggressive honesty.

Love Orson Scott Card!
One of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors. The voice acting was excellent and the story is gripping. It makes you think and feel and care about the characters. The last part is especially poignant--highly recommended! Five stars all the way!

Not what I expected from author of Ender's Game
Ender's Game is one of the top 10 books I have ever read! This book was not memorable at all. If I could get my credit back I would. REALLY POOR!

Calling this a soap opera insults soap operas.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Read the New York phone book, instead. Rankin could probably make that at least interesting.
What could Orson Scott Card and Kathryn H. Kidd have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Kill this project before Card's reputation was dented.
Have you listened to any of Emily Rankin's other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not heard Emily Rankin before. She is much better than this material.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

NAVAL, Biliran, Dec. 5 (PIA) -- In line with the government's implementation of suggested retail price (SRP) on rice, traders in Biliran province including two towns in Leyte province, vowed to follow the of SRP on rice effective next month.
The stakeholders in the grain industry such as traders, retailers, and farmers from the eight towns in Biliran province including the towns of Calubian and Leyte in Leyte province, agreed in a meeting to follow the SRP for rice effective December 8.
The meeting was initiated by the National Food Authority-Biliran provincial office in coordination with the provincial offices of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Trade and Industry.
Some rice traders who were present in the meeting responded positively to follow with the SRP set for rice.
NFA-8 Regional Director John Robert Hermano and Christopher Ang, president of the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the province, allowed all rice retailers to sell at the current price only until December 7.
Hermano said those who sell beyond the SRP will have to face penalties and will be sanctioned for the violation.
He told rice traders to be vigilant and not be deceived with the bagged premium rice as some just bought bags of known brands and actually loading it with the regular or well-milled rice.
He also warned traders of deficient packing of rice sold in the market which usually range from 1 kg-2 kg to the disadvantage of the consumers.
These kind of malpractices must be reported immediately to their office for proper action, he added.
For her part, NFA-Biliran Manager Ma. Rosario Cadiz disclosed that they are closely monitoring the rice stocks of traders as well as millers to ensure proper accounting of rice stocks in the area.
Ronilo Jamin, trade and industry development specialist of DTI-Biliran, likewise informed rice traders that prices of rice and chicken in the market are now included in their monitoring.
Under the SRP sa Bigas, rice is only classified as Regular Milled Rice at P39 per kg; Well Milled Rice (local) at P44 per kg, (imported) at P39 per kg; Premium Grade (local) at P47 per kg, (imported Grade I) at P43 per kg and (imported Grade II) at P40 per kg.
No SRP is set for special rice such as aromatic, glutinous, pigmented, round shaped, and traditional or heirloom varieties.
With the current system, the kind of rice is easily identified in the market with price tags and rice box labels. Regular milled and well-milled rice are labelled white, yellow for premium grade rice, and blue for special rice. (LDL/MLT/PIA8-Biliran)

1. To automatically hide the firefox bookmarks bar when the toolbar is not in use, and have it show up when the mouse hovers over the Firefox toolbr, copy/paste the following code in your UserChrome.css file:
#PersonalToolbar { visibility: collapse !important; opacity: 0.1; -moz-transition: visibility 30s, opacity 30s ease !important; } #navigator-toolbox:hover #PersonalToolbar { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 9; -moz-transition: visibility !important; }
To adjust the time it has to pass before the toolbar gets hidden, change the two 30s values. Tip from Lifehacker.
2. To stop firefox 4 from trimming the URLs in the status bar, copy/paste the following code in your UserChrome.css file:
statuspanel { max-width: 100% !important; }
This tells firefox to allow the status panel to use length 100% of the status bar. You can adjust this number as you like. Tip from Lifehacker.

Maine governor's administration makes it a policy not to talk to 3 state newspapers
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � A spokeswoman for Maine Gov. Paul LePage says the administration will no longer comment for stories published in three of Maine's daily newspapers.
Adrienne Bennett told the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/17Wn2Of ) on Tuesday the administration won't be talking to that publication, the Kennebec Journal and the Morning Sentinel. All are owned by MaineToday Media.
Bennett's comments follow a series this week about the Department of Environmental Protection under Commissioner Patricia Aho. In an article Tuesday with reaction to the series, Bennett said the newspaper has a political agenda and said the administration would respond by submitting a column to it.
Press Herald Executive Editor Cliff Schechtman says the paper will continue "doing probing journalism on behalf of citizens" whether or not the administration has a gag order in place.
The Associated Press left a message for Bennett.

...it hasn't been secret for more than 30 years, but it did exist. It was approved by the War Department in 1930 and updated in 1934 and 1935.
War Plan Red was actually designed for a war with England. In the late 1920s, American military strategists developed plans for a war with Japan (code name Orange), Germany (Black), Mexico (Green) and England (Red). The Americans imagined a conflict between the United States (Blue) and England over international trade: "The war aim of RED in a war with BLUE is conceived to be the definite elimination of BLUE as an important economic and commercial rival."
Churchill's third speech to Parliment in 1901 was on the prospect of War with the United States resulting from the boundary dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela. War between the two countries wasn't unthinkable.
Evil would be the counsellors, dark would be the day when we embarked on that most foolish, futile, and fatal of all wars--a war with the United States. If such a fit of madness were to occur, he warned, both nations, having long enjoyed a glorious immunity from the curse of militarism, would be similarly placed, and no decisive events could be looked for until the war had been in progress for a year or two and enormous armies had been raised on both sides.
--page 45 of Martin Gilbert's Churchill and America
Seems far fetched today but America had huge German and Irish populations, hostile to Britian and not afraid to say so. There was evil counsel given and it was given right through 1941 from fellows like Lindbergh building on that widespread hostility.
He did not see the conflict as basically a war for democracy or morality. He was skeptical of the ideology and moral righteousness of the British and French.
Fits of madness have happened.

A Huge Age Difference and 6 Maiden Names
Every once in a while, I came across a record that demands a second look. The recent one was the 1940 census for Charleston, Orleans, Vermont showing Alexander Westover age 72 and Mary E. Westover age 26, as husband and wife. Naturally, I thought it was an error and I needed to investigate.
Seeing that Alexander was married, now 72, was a surprise, since he was a widower in 1930.
Their marriage record shows Alexander Westover, age 62, No. of marriage/ second, married 14 Feb. 1934 at Richford, Franklin, VT, to Mary Elizabeth Clair, age 19, her first marriage. However, they managed to be married six years, with one child by the time of the 1940 census. Why did a 62 year old marry a 19 year old?
Alexander and Mary Elizabeth had Lawrence Alexander Westover born Aug. 24, 1935 at Belvidere, Vt. Listed parents were Alexander Westover age 66 and engineer, born Berkshire, Vt. and Mary Elizabeth Clair age 20 born Sheldon, Vt. (Note, he aged 4 years and she just 1 year.)
His previous marriage, #2 from Vermont Vital Records 1871 to 1908 (located at NEHGS*). Roll #445. Pg. 935. Alexander Weston, [sic] as typed, then hand written as Westover was 31, a laborer of Jay, VT, No. of Marriage 2 (Divorced) married Emma Ruby Bell on May 8, 1906 at Jay, VT. Per Roll #299 Emma was age 18, b. Jay, VT. Notice he was divorced by 31 and married an 18 year old. Emma died in 1928.
Marriage #1 to Ethel Davis was before 1906 and I have no record for the marriage or when it ended, but they did have children from this union.
Why did marry such young girls? Maybe Alexander was from a dysfunctional family, and had a thing for younger wives. I also wonder what was going on with his mother as well. Why did the majority of his siblings not know their mother's maiden name? For example, 6 of the 13 children didn't know the correct maiden name. The mother Orilla is always listed as being married to Moses Westover, however her maiden name could be any one of the six below.
Marriage of Alexander's siblings who state their mother was:
Ida married 1878, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla Booth
John Alfred married 1889, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla Burnham
Rufus married 1893, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla Burnham
Frank married 1914, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla King
Alice married 1932, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla Burman
Alexander married 1934, parents: Moses Westover and Orilla Bonney
The 1953 Death record for Alexander, parents: Moses Westover and Ovillan Bonneau. The death record for his mother, shows her name as: Orilla Hepsibah Bonneau Westover in 1897.

Taylor Swift Stuns in Cream-Colored Gown at 2012 ARIA Awardsby Amy Sciarretto | PopCrush
Knock us over with a feather. Taylor Swift, who has been known to get a little frumptastic with her '50s housewife wardrobe of sweaters, pearls, full skirts and twin-sets, knocked 'em dead with the gorgeous, cream-colored gown she wore to the 2012 ARIA Awards in Australia.
She paired the gown, which played up her bust, something she doesn't normally do, with black earrings and gray, smoky eyes. Her bangs were in full effect, while the rest of her locks were swept into an updo. This was easily one of T. Swizzle's best red carpet looks of the year. Whatever she is doing, dating-wise, with One Direction's Harry Styles doesn't matter. If Hazza sees these photos, he will clutch his Swiftly beating heart.
The peek-a-boo panel on the side of the banded-bodice dress, from Elie Saab's Spring/Summer 2013 ready wear collection, is also stunning. While most starlets and celebutantes of the same age and peer group as Swift would opt to show off side boob with their dresses, Swift is covered up yet sexy at once.
She also swapped her signature crimson lips in favor of a rosy nude shade that is just as flattering; in fact, we like her with muted, soft pink lips better than her hallmark 'Red.'
T. Swizz looks like a Greek goddess, doesn't she?

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team fell to rival Middle Tennessee State, 48-77, on Tuesday night.
The Tigers had two players with double-figure point totals in Robert Covington (17) and Patrick Miller (12). Covington was 4-of-17 from the field while Miller was 4-of-12.
TSU did draw 23 fouls in the game, and did a good job at the charity stripe, draining 19 of the team's 29 attempts.
Tennessee State (5-7) won the tip, but MTSU scored the first basket with a jumper at the 19:17 mark. The bucket set the tone for the first period, as TSU would never lead during the first 20 minutes.
Miller added to his OVC leading 2.3 steals per game with a swipe near half court at the 16:23 mark. The junior promptly found a streaking Michael Green who slammed the ball down with a dunk, making the score 7-4 in favor of the home team.
Green finished the half tied for the team lead with Covington and Kellen Thornton with six points. Miller (two points) was the only other Tiger to score in the half.
From there, the Blue Raiders went on an 11-3 run that put TSU behind 7-18. The Tigers were unable to recover during the opening frame, as they committed 13 first half turnovers while making six of 19 shots (36.8 percent).
MTSU went on a 13-5 run that spanned 6:49 to end the half and it was the Blue Raider bench that was leading the charge which outscored TSU's reserves 14-0.
Down 20-43 to start the second stanza, Tennessee State couldn't mount a comeback. The team went without a field goal from 17:20 to 10:02 and shot 29.8 percent (14-of-47) for the game.
Tuesday's game was the third time this season that TSU has shot under 30 percent as a team.
Covington had a strong break-away dunk with 2:16 left, but it did little to change the final outcome. TSU lost the game 48-77 and made just one of its 14 three-pointers (7.1 percent).
As a team, the Tigers forced 13 turnovers, but had 20 of their own while racking up just three assists.
MTSU finished with 30 points in the paint and outrebounded TSU 37-34.
TSU will try to get back into the win column on Friday when the team hosts South Carolina Upstate at 7 p.m.

text: I used an Nvidia Nforce-based motherboard in the first computer I ever built, so I'm a little sad to see that Nvidia's freezing all development on their Nforce chipset because of licensing issues with Intel, primarily over whether or not Nvidia's license covers chipsets for Nehalem-based processors. Nvidia's not developing new chipsets for AMD's processors, either. Lame-o. [PC Mag]

The Dolphins reportedly could be without their top offensive lineman at the start of the 2014 regular season.
Center Mike Pouncey is anticipated to miss "at least three months" after undergoing hip surgery on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
A three-month recovery timetable would make Pouncey's Week One availability in doubt, as the Dolphins begin the regular season against the Patriots on Sunday, September 7. Moreover, were Pouncey to be out for more than three months, it's possible he could land on the PUP list, which would necessitate at least a six-game absence were he to remain on PUP at the beginning of the regular season.
Pouncey, who made the Pro Bowl a season ago, is regarded as one of the game's top centers. The Dolphins' first-round pick in 2011, Pouncey has started all 46 games in which he's played for Miami. He turns 25 in July. The Dolphins extended Pouncey's contract through 2015 earlier this year.
The Dolphins' offensive line play was a weakness a season ago, and Pouncey's injury hurts the club's effort to built cohesion at this vital position.

Asaaj Ventress: Chapter 2 - Minikits
Asaaj Ventress: Chapter 2 - Minikits
Chapter 2 - Ambush![edit]
When the level begins, head to your left and destroy all four pods on your ship (use a rocket if necessary). Then, use the Force to reveal the grapple hook and use a Clone to cling on. The first Minikit will then tumble out.
There are five hermit crabs lying hidden throughout the entire level. Keep a lookout for the shells shown in the picture below and destroy all five to collect your Minikit.
After you round the corner in the first area, you'll notice three purple cylinder-plants on the left. Use the Force to extend all of them to their peak height (they'll make a sort of staircase) and use their air to propel you up to the ledge above. Then, use R2 to hover and follow the stud trail to the right and onto the next ledge. Push the available block off the ledge and rebuild the broken pieces at the bottom. You'll have made yourself a GIANT CRAB MACHINE. Using this crab, you'll need to attack five smaller crabs (Attack Button) that are in the first area. After you do, you'll be rewarded with the third Minikit.
Before exiting the first area, take the Sith in your party and use the Dark Side on the blocks on the left wall. You'll create a staircase to a cave above, so make your way in. At the end of the cave is a set of three mushrooms. To access the Minikit hidden here, jump on yellow, then red, then green.
Right when you enter the next area, switch to R2 and hover over the entire gap to the right. Activate the console on the ledge and enter the new cave. Once inside, switch to a grapple character and grapple onto one of the hooks. Then, switch characters to another grapple character and grab onto the other. You'll then be handsomely rewarded with Minikit #5.
After destroying the first tank, access the cave on the left by using your Minigun Clone to get rid of the gold blocks in the way. Move through the cave unharmed by using the Force to open up the light-plants. At the end, use Jar Jar to double jump and collect Minikit #6.
Move past the second tank and hang to the right. There should be a few plants guarding a cave that can be moved with the Dark Side. Use your Sith, move the plants out of the way, and head on in. Inside, you'll have two loose pink and black pieces on the floor. Use the Force to set them back in their placeholders on the wall. You'll need to blow up the silver-plated blocks on the wall with Rocket Clone to place the second one.
You'll notice a third placeholder but no third object. To find the object, use your Minigun Clone to destroy the gold-plated blocks on the right. Then, take your new object with the Force and place it on the wall. Voila! Grapple onto the hook from the Lost Ark that rises up and snag Minikit #7.
As you exit the cave, you'll notice a console to your left. Have Robonino interact with it. Use the Force on the rubble that falls to create a platform. Then, place a character onto that platform and switch to your partner. As a Jedi, raise the platform until your partner jumps onto the ledge above. Switch to your partner and collect the eighth Minikit.
Now that you've unlocked each cave, you'll need to kill some animals in each one. You may have noticed some pink cactus-like plants growing from the ground. Strike it to reveal and dragon, and slay that dragon to get rid of it. You'll need to kill five to obtain Minikit #9.
To the right of the final tank, you'll see three purple cylinder-plants. They're too ugly to continue growing, so be absolutely sure to destroy them all. Then, use the Force to reincarnate those blocks in the form of a giant crab. He'll jump into the hole on your left and present you with the final Minikit.

While season four of the popular Cartoon Network series Star Wars: The Clone Wars officially kicks off this fall, players of Sony Online Entertainment's free-to-play online game Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures will be able to play through an epic storyline leading directly to the first episode's opening act.
In an unprecedented collaboration between television project and online game, Sony Online Entertainment, the Cartoon Network, and Lucas Arts have worked together to create Campaign for Iceberg 3, an epic story told within the confines of the online game that bridges the gap between the previous season of The Clone Wars and the next.
Dave Filoni, supervising producer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures senior producer Todd Carlson spoke to Kotaku about the landmark cooperation and what fans can expect to see in Campaign for Iceberg 3.
The campaign marks the first storyline for Clone Wars Adventures, a family-friendly free-to-play online multiplayer game. Based mainly around a series of Star Wars themed mini-games, crafting a cohesive tale within such loose confines was quite the task, but when you're approached by some of the biggest names in the Force, you make do.
"It's really exciting for us to have been approached by Dave Filoni and George Lucas," said SOE's Carlson. "They're icons of ours"
As one would imagine the Clone Wars Adventures team are big Star Wars fans, which works out nicely as Dave Filoni is a big fan of the game. "Working in the Star Wars universe I'm always interested in what the other guys are doing," Filoni said. The online game has proven an inspiration to him. He recalls seeing clones running around online with little hats on. "I took that idea and put them in the show as officers."
So a mutual admiration existed on both sides of the Clone Wars, and the desire to work together strong, but how do you mix a narrative rich television series with a mini-game powered virtual world? Filoni says it was all a matter of "finding a story to base it on that made sense and what the capabilities of the game are.
Filoni worked closely with Clone Wars Adventures designer Jason Good, and what they came up with was Campaign for Iceberg 3.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
At the beginning of Campaign for Iceberg 3 the player finds themselves en route to the Calamari system, home of the famous Admiral Ackbar. Separatist forces have arrived on the scene, and the King of all Calamari is rightly concerned.
Upon arriving in the system players are ambushed by the Separatist fleet in an encounter that plays out using Clone Wars Adventures' Fleet Battle mini-game. Players then take a ship to the surface of the planet Iceberg 3, a journey that takes place within the Starfighters mini-game. On the planet you meet up with Commander Wolf and must defend a city from Separatist invasion by participating in a round of Republic Defender. You'll even battle General Grievous in the Lightsaber Duel mini-game. It's an inventive way to inject story into a game that isn't quite structured to support it.
Eventually the storyline will lead players up to the very beginning of The Clone Wars season four, where things will happen that I can't talk about. I can say that along the way players will run into one Captain Ackbar, a Mon Calamari due for a promotion somewhere down the line. This of course led me to ask the question, "So is it a trap?"
"In some ways it is," laughed Carlson. "As the storyline goes you're getting in a ship and heading out to the system, but you don't really know what's going on."
You will know exactly what's going on in season four of Star Wars: The Clone Wars as long as you make it through Campaign for Iceberg 3, launching today in Clone Wars Adventures.

Article content
EDMONTON – Premier Dave Hancock is "concerned" and weighing investigative options after allegations surfaced Monday that someone inside government leaked internal records to a news outlet to "strategically" undermine Tory leadership candidate Thomas Lukaszuk.
The documents, which show Lukaszuk racked up $20,000 in international data roaming charges while travelling in 2012, were mailed anonymously to the Edmonton Sun last week.
According to the exclusive Sun report, the documents came from inside government, and a Calgary resident's identity was fraudulently used to courier them to the newspaper. A formal complaint has been filed with the Calgary Police Service.
Lukaszuk alleged Monday the documents were leaked "strategically" in the middle of the leadership race, prompting Hancock to consider investigating.
"Minister Lukaszuk did raise the issue with the premier," spokesman Derek Cummings said Monday. "The premier is concerned.
"We're in the early stages of examining what options might be available to look into the matter."
Lukaszuk issued an apology hours after the Sun published the story Monday. He said he was on a personal trip overseas with a human rights group in the fall of 2012 when an "urgent government legal matter" required his attention. He was deputy premier at the time.
"Absolutely, I made a mistake, and for that I apologize," Lukaszuk said.
"I did not check the data plan myself, and I did not confirm that my office had done so. The result was that accomplishing a task cost the government more than it should have. This was an expensive lesson."
Lukaszuk refused to disclose the nature of the legal matter, because, he said, the court records are sealed and a court-ordered publication ban is in place.
He instead released a letter from the legal firm that handled the case, Duncan and Craig, which says the firm was retained after extensive communications regarding "legal matters which affected the government."
Lukaszuk said his staff fought with Telus to have the charges reduced, to no avail. He changed providers and now ensures that data plans are in place when he travels.
He said he will not pay the money back because he was doing government work while on vacation and received no personal benefit.
He said it is "very difficult" to imagine that anyone but his opponents released the documents two weeks before the Sept. 6 leadership vote, which will determine the next leader of the long-governing Tory party. The leader will automatically become premier.
"I wish politics wasn't like that, but we're in the middle of a very heated three-way race and those things happen," Lukaszuk said. "This wasn't new information, it was previously available, but obviously it is being strategically used at this point."
Bill Anderson and Heather Massel, spokespeople for rival candidates Jim Prentice and Ric McIver, respectively, denied any involvement with the mailed documents.
The Calgary Police Service did not comment on whether the allegations of fraud are under investigation.

A new report says funding for U.S. startups fell in the first quarter, as venture capitalists raised less capital and spent less money on fewer deals than a year earlier.
The software industry was a notable exception, where both the amount funding and the number of deals increased, according to a study set to be released Friday. The MoneyTree study was conducted by PriceWaterHouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, based on data from Thomson Reuters.
Total startup investments fell 6 percent to $5.87 billion from $6.27 billion in the first quarter of 2012. There were 863 deals in all, down slightly from 868 a year earlier.
"The venture industry has been raising less capital than it has been investing now for several years, and ultimately this dynamic flows through and manifests itself in lower investment levels overall," said John Taylor, head of research for NVCA, in a statement.
Capital-intense sectors, including clean technology and life sciences, continued to see declines, as they have in all of 2012. Media and entertainment, along with networking and networking equipment, saw increased funding.
The software industry accounted for 40 percent of the money invested during the quarter. A total of 329 companies in this sector received $2.33 billion in funding during the first quarter, according to the report. That's up from 276 deals and $1.69 billion in the first quarter of 2012.
Stacey Bishop, partner at VC firm Scale Venture Partners, said she expects more dollars to flow into the software sector over time.
"Software as a service continues to do well," she added, citing recent successful initial public offerings by Marin Software Inc. and Rally Software Development Corp.
The quarter's top deal went to Genband Inc., a provider of networking products and services, which raked in $343.5 million. Pinterest Inc. and Air Watch LLC both received $200 million.

Central Banks' Latest Move Shows Desperation
by George Washington
The coordinated swap line bailout by the Federal Reserve Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, and the Swiss National Bank- and China's reduction of reserve requirements by .5% – shows desperation. (For background on swap lines, see this, this and this.)
The Street notes:
Don't get flustered by the terminology of "dollar swap lines" above. Here's a more simple explanation: Central banks around the globe have acted in desperation to boost liquidity in the system, which has sparked a rally in equities.
In a separate article, The Street points out:
What's great for the banks isn't so good for everyone else, though. Investment strategists already are noting the desperation of the move, adding that flooding the banking system with liquidity doesn't do anything to solve the real problem of ballooning, unmanageable debt levels.
Ron Paul said today:
The Fed's latest actions in cooperating with foreign central banks to undertake liquidity swaps of dollars for foreign currencies is another reason why Congress needs enhanced power to oversee and audit the Fed. Under current law Congress cannot examine these types of agreements. Those who would argue that auditing the Fed or these agreements with central banks harms the Fed's independence should reevaluate the Fed's supposed independence when the Fed bails out Europe so soon after President Obama promised US assistance in resolving the Euro crisis.
Rather than calming markets, these arrangements should indicate just how frightened governments around the world are about the European financial crisis. Central banks are grasping at straws, hoping that flooding the world with money created out of thin air will somehow resolve a crisis caused by uncontrolled government spending and irresponsible debt issuance. Congress should not permit this type of open-ended commitment on the part of the Fed, a commitment which could easily run into the trillions of dollars. These dollar swaps are purely inflationary and will harm American consumers as much as any form of quantitative easing.
The Fed is behaving much as it did during the 2008 financial crisis, only this time instead of bailing out politically well-connected too-big-to-fail firms it is bailing out profligate government spending. Citizens the world over deserve better than this. They deserve sound money that cannot be manipulated and created out of thin air by central planners who promise printed prosperity. Fiat money caused this European crisis and the financial crisis before it. More fiat money is not the cure. The global fiat currency system has proven itself a failure, we need real monetary reform. We need sound money.
