As the evolution of drones continues to reveal new faces, we expected that we would be able to have drones that can deliver goods to customers, but the FAA has been very strict when it comes to drones that are pretty big as it states safety concerns as its main issue with this twist in the drone technology.
Over in the UK, the leader in e-commerce has legally tested its drone delivery service by delivering a Prime order last week. We expect that the company begins a pilot testing phase for drone deliveries to rural areas starting a few weeks from now.
The test delivery was done within 5 miles of its drone testing facility in Cambridgeshire outside the university town of Cambridge. The tests began after it got the nod of the British Civil Aviation Authority, and the body now plans to allow the delivery to rural areas as soon as it has gotten enough data regarding the safety of people.
With the Prime Air in the airways, Amazon plans to create a system where it delivers a maximum of five pounds packages in 30 minutes or less. The test involved the order for an Amazon Fire TV and a bag of popcorn; and from the time the customer clicked "order" to the time the package was received, about 13 minutes was lost.
This trial phase as been very successful, but we should remember that the two customers used in the trial live very close to Amazon's testing facility; on the ability for the drone to travel for 10 or 15 miles, we can't really say until we get to that stage of the trials. The company also has plans to make deliveries to customers living farther quite easier, and interestingly, this 30-minute delivery may not be coming at a price.

Marin Viaduct
Marin Viaduct
Viaducto de Marin
Marin, País Vasco, Spain
(328) feet high / (100) meters high
(328) foot span / (100) meter span
The highest bridge on the new AP-1 highway between the Spanish cities of Vitoria-Gasteiz and Eibar, the Marin Viaduct rises approximately 328 feet (100 mtrs) with a maximum pier height of 318 feet (97 mtrs). The stretch between Eskoriatza and Urbina was the most difficult to build with several large tunnels and viaducts making up 51 percent of the total highway length of 6.7 miles (10.8 kms). In addition to the 1,962 foot (598 mtr) long Viaducto de Marin, there is the nearby Viaducto de Zarimutz and the Viaducto Mazmela - both in the 197 foot (60 mtr) height range. The Isuskitza tunnel is one of Spain's longest at 2.1 miles (3.4 kms).

Advance Review: The first thing that FOX's new series, The Mob Doctor, has working against it is... its name. It's hard to not giggle and pre-judge a show with such a nail-on-the-derp title. Yes, creators often look for for a name that can singularly sum up their show, but I feel like a lot more people aren't going to be able to get past this silly title than will wind up eventually over-looking it. Also, it doesn't help that the show a mostly-laughable shlock-fest riddled cliches and familiar beats.
My Boys' Jordana Sprio (off her two-episode dramatic arc on Dexter last year) stars as Grace Devlin (a name not lost on anyone), a tough, punchy surgeon who grew up poor on the south side of Chicago. She's part angel, part lie/cheat/and steal if it protects the right people hellion. And her hospital rounds are filled with a rogue's gallery of characters you've seen before. Her bitchy rival (Jamie Lee Kirchner), her arrogant, weaselly boss (David Pasquesi, almost channeling his Strangers with Candy role) and wasted Emmy-winner Zeljko Ivanek as an extra-bland Chief of Surgery.
Instead of starting off the show with the story of how Grace became a doctor who moonlights for the local mob in order to pay a debt for her brother's life, we begin in the thick of it. Grace has been a "Mob Doctor" for years already and we're just catching up with her on a particularly busy day where she deals with a goon who has a screwdriver in his head, a kid with a gunshot wound, a girl from the "neighborhood" who's pregnant thanks to outercourse and an FBI witness in dire need of heart surgery. And once again, thanks to pilot-itis, everything moves at breakneck speed, with the writers thinking that fast stories and super-speed dialogue make things seem more urgent and characters seem more clever.
Spiro can be a fun and lively actress, but she crumbles here at the feet of sloppy sentiment and an interesting premise that's treated more like a glossy adventure series than a tension-filled drama. Grace's doctor boyfriend, Brett (Zach Gilford), is handsome and nice while the crooks she deals with, notably Michael Rapaport's Moretti, are dumb and mean. It's all flat. I will say that, toward the end, there's a surprise twist that gave the show a jolt, but it's all for naught. One would think, that given the premise, Grace would be desperately looking for a way out. That she's afraid of being caught and tired of keeping secrets. But she's not. In fact, when given the opportunity to actually leave criminal servitude and make a clean getaway, she stays. And becomes an even mobbier Mob Doctor! Her excuse is, naturally, family. Even though we meet her pushy mom and incompetent brother and see first hand that they're no treasure trove.
But she's from the south side. And just like Boston's south side, cinematically, family is supposed to mean more than anything, no matter how dopey and troublesome they are. William Forsythe, fresh off his Boardwalk Empire stint, plays a typically Forsythian role in the form of Constantine Alexander, a soft spoken crime boss freshly released from prison. And while his relationship with Grace might feel more interesting, and rife with potential, the fact that, right off the bat, Grace has accepted her lot in life as a physician for both sides of the law makes the show feel empty and harmless.
The Mob Doctor premieres on Monday, September 17th at 9/8c on FOX.

Today we met with HDR to discuss the initial plan for the replacement of the Q Street Bridge. We are excited that infrastructure improvements are important to the city and the state and that they have prioritized this project. We look forward to working a communications plan with residents about how the construction will be a short term inconvenience for another 50 years of safe travel over the tracks and JFK.
The attached plan is for preliminary discussion and there is a public meeting scheduled for Thursday October 25 from 5-7pm at the Kroc Center. Please let your networks know.

The Drayton Digistat is a digital thermostat for your home. The digital interface on the thermostat is powered by two AA batteries. If the batteries drain down, you'll notice a "Low Battery" warning and you'll be unable to control the thermostat. Replace the batteries as soon as possible to prevent such an occurrence. Changing the batteries takes about five minutes.
Inspect the bottom-right edge of the Digistat. You'll see a small notch. This notch allows you to remove the battery cover.
Insert a coin, such as a nickel or dime, into the notch. Pry outward gently to pull the battery cover off. You'll now see the batteries.
Slide the first battery out of the compartment, and then slide the second battery forward and out of the compartment.
Insert one battery into the compartment. The "Plus" side of the battery should be facing right. Push it to the left to move it to the rear of the compartment.
Insert the second battery. Again, the "Plus" side should be facing right. Push it in gently to ensure it's properly attached.
Line up the battery cover with the compartment. Push the cover firmly to snap it back into the Drayton Digistat.

How You can Help

I over-requested from NetGalley, so I spent most of July reading those novels, not that I'm complaining. I was able to read some new novels from authors I already liked, plus find some new books!
Most of these were audiobooks, which helped me read more novels. I've been extremely sick, so I've had a lot of time to listen!
Somebody I Used to Know
You can read my full review here. The short synopsis is that I was very surprised to find that this was not a novel of a new writer once I finished the book. I liked it, but I would have expected a tighter plot from someone who has published many more novels.
Birds of a Feather
I read a paperback copy of the first novel in this series as part of a summer reading challenge. Through my library, I was able to listen to this through Overdrive. I liked the first novel because it gave a ton of necessary background on Maisie Dobbs, but the "mystery," in the novel wasn't very great. This mystery was much more intricate, since space wasn't taken up with background, of course.
I can't wait to read more of this series!
Love May Fail
Silver Linings Playbook is one of my favorite books ever. I've thought about reading some of his other novels, so when the Goodreads' newsletter notified me that Quick had a new book coming out, I knew that I had to read it. I quickly put it on hold at the library and listened ASAP!
I read the book in two days. I absolutely could not put it down! I recommend it (AND Silver Linings Playbook, if you haven't read it).
Pretty Baby
This was an interesting follow up to Kubica's first novel, The Good Girl, which I thoroughly enjoyed. You can read my full review of Pretty Baby here.
Among the Ten Thousand Things
This is a beautiful novel about love, life that ruins love, family, and what's leftover when life is done. You can read my FULL review here! This new release is definitely worth your time, even though there aren't a whole lot of reviews on it yet. I got an early copy from NetGalley – but early by about two days. So, in my typical fashion, I used my accumulating Audible credits to pick it up because I was loving it, but my new medications have my sleep messed up.
I have a short window during the day that I can read physical books/ebooks before I start to lose the ability to follow along and need to lay down and at least shut my eyes. I don't sleep at night, but I lay there for 8 or so hours before I finally get what I loosely term "sleep." Therefore, having audiobooks to listen to while I close my eyes are the BEST. I don't have bluelight messing up my sleep, not that I have the energy to navigate a computer, plus there isn't much on TV/Netflix that I want to watch, especially in the middle of the night. Oddly enough, books make me feel less alone and sad.
So, since I had to put down the ebook one night, I got the newly released audible and thoroughly enjoyed every second of the book – even when I shed a tear or two.
I don't know if other readers will appreciate this part like I did, but Simon, the 15 year old son, is a wonderful representation of a teenage boy. He reminded me so much of my moody, angry, teenage brother with a bad attitude! It made me laugh a lot.
The novel reminded me of the humanity in all of us. Parents are people. Kids see more than we know. And kids turn into adults who will perpetuate the cycle.
The Litigators
Average, average, average.
If you haven't read BJ Novak's short story about John Grisham, you need to. If you can listen the audio version where Novak reads it, even better. The Litigators embodies everything in Novak's witty story.
Case Histories (Jackson Brodie #1)
I enjoyed this more than the regular police procedural mystery because it wasn't neat and tidy. Not only was it a hell of a lot more complicated, there wasn't a cliff hanger or an ending packaged with a bow.
I want to read more of the series to see how Jackson Brodie progresses, since I felt like some of his clients had such strong personalities/characters that they impeded my "getting to know" the main character. However, they were funny. If I read the novel correctly, and wasn't just confused, Atkinson played with time, like she did in the only other novel that I've read by her, Life After Life. There were scenes that were written where I was like "ah! This scene is the scene that happened a few chapters ago…! And the characters overlapped."
I will be reading more of the series and checking out the television series, if I can understand the accents 😉
Pardonable Lies (Maisie Dobbs #3)
I loved how this novel fully fleshed out the characters in the series more. Maisie took on more cases in this novel, which made for a much more interesting novel.
Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher #1)
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the heroine of this series while she solved multiple mysteries. I enjoyed that she flies in the face of convention, which I know is easier to write from the future looking back, but it is fun to imagine someone like Phryne Fisher with an enormous intellect, unlimited funds, and a daring sense of social propriety solving mysteries, while genuinely caring about the neglected and poor. Oh, and a shoot out in a mystery novel with a female detective earned the author some bonus points!
Flying Too High (Phryne Fisher #2)
Long story, but I ended up reading the first, the third, and then the second novels in this series. While this novel still helped established who the main character is, the third was the most enjoyable because it dug into the mystery without wasting time on character development.
Murder on the Ballarat Train (Phryne Fisher #3)
Phryne Fisher is an interesting character. She adopts abused children, solves crimes, and I can't wait to see how she develops more! This is a really easy-listening series. I like to listen for 30 minutes or so before I try to go to bed.
Death at Victoria Dock (Phryne Fisher #4)
I liked this follow up, but I'm still trying to adjust to that kind raunchiness in a story that takes place when women couldn't even be doctors alongside men!
(The Grantchester Mysteries #1) Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death
This novel was pretty good. I confused by how many mysteries Sidney Chambers solved during the one novel that weren't necessarily related. I do plan on reading more of the series because I am interested in the main character as a character. I even watched an episode from PBS of the TV show they created from the novel. It was the exact same story, not like Amazon's Bosch, which is an entirely new storyline, loosely based on the series.
The "meat" of the novel was good. The overall impression was horrendous. Every time I thought of the novel, I went back to Goodreads and removed a star.
A Duty to the Dead
I love Maisie Dobbs mysteries, but they have a touch of a new-ageness that kind of freak me out. Bess Crawford is the perfect answer to Dobbs! It's much darker, though. Bess Crawford is not trained to solve mysteries in any way, but she's a naturally curious and smart woman who who is a nurse during WWI. I'm interested in reading more of the series, which only has a few novels. Charles Todd, the author, is actually a mother and son team. They've written 17 or so novels in another mystery series. I just got the first novel from Paperback Swap, so I'm looking forward to seeing if I like Inspector Ian Rutledge!
If I Stay
This one made my cry. Really sobbed at first. I thought that it was rather though provoking for a Young Adult novel, which made me glad. I hope that teen girls read it and think harder about their own lives and why they live–and maybe even purse more things like art, music, and family time. I am looking forward to reading the second novel!
Messenger of Truth (Maisie Dobbs #4)
I enjoyed the mystery here more, plus a little more resolution on Maisie's personal life. Had to read books 3 and 4 very quickly because I had them on loan from the library – audio version – on overdrive. There is someone who was one book ahead of me and VERY slow. I waited on hold forever for book 3, so while I was waiting, I checked books 4-6 out. Now, I'm ahead of this other person because I listen to books a lot faster than they do. That person took almost all 21 days. I was afraid they just checked it out and let it sit/didn't know how to return it.
As soon as I finished book 4 (quickly), I returned it, so they could have it, but now I'm ahead. Boom!
An Incomplete Revenge (Maisie Dobbs #5)
This was an interesting look at how Londoners picked hops on estates with for two weeks each fall; while there, Gypsies were camped on the edge of the town. It was specifically interesting because the novel gave an insight into Maisie's Gypsy heritage and hinted that it had something to do with her "third" sight.
Her Royal Spyness (Her Royal Spyness #1)
Obviously, I've started listening to and reading a lot more British (or Australian) mystery novels that take place around the World Wars. This was a cute story/mystery, so I think I will try out the next novel!
The Stories We Tell
I enjoyed this novel because it takes place in places that I know and could picture. I liked this novel, but I didn't love it.
The Girl Who Chased the Moon
This whimsical novel was a great read/listen for the summer. I haven't read anything else by Sarah Addison Allen, but I have some on hold!
In the Unlikely Event
I absolutely adored this novel! I thought it was an odd summer release, since the majority of the action takes place in the middle of winter; however, I it is a great novel no matter the time of year because the story does take span over the course of the main character's life – if you can call her that. The novel does follow a ton of characters!
Really preachy and not very entertaining. Maybe if I had done more research on the time period that it was written about, I would have liked it more, but I didn't…
The Bostonians
This novel took a few tries. It wasn't bad, but the first time that I tried to read it, I had to move it to "finish later," because I just wasn't in the mood for a James novel. You have be in the right frame of mind, I think. The thing is, though, is that there are so many Henry James novels to chose from!
And to be honest, I enjoyed the novel a lot more once I read a summary that told me that the novel was satire about the women's movement. It made what seemed slightly absurd actually quite funny.
Friday's Child
I loved this novel a lot more than some of Heyer's Regency Romances. It had the humor of novels like Arabella and Fredrica, but it was slightly longer with more substance than those novels. Friday's Child didn't stop at the marriage of an out of place woman in high society, but rather examined the ramifications of the marriage, which were not easy on either party, like I am most likely to imagine as some of Heyer's books come to a close, and I move on to other novels.
Friday's Child may move into my most recommended Heyer novel because the main character, Hero, who is aptly named, challenges social conventions, is true to her word, but also displays a depth of feeling that some other Heyer heroines lack.
Overall, this novel had the greatest set of well developed characters in all of the Regency Romances that I've read so far, and I've read quite a few!
April Lady
Another tale of marriage between two people who don't realize that they love each other and full of misunderstandings. I am glad that we get married a little differently now. Not my favorite Heyer novel, but I did like it.
This is one of my favorite Heyer novels now! Like most novels, a naive woman asks an improper favor from a "rake," but doesn't realize it. He says yes, and it is fun to watch him slowly change… 🙂
Black Sheep
I liked this one, too! Surprise!
The Corinthian
This was a good Georgette Heyer novel, but nothing to write home about.
Love May Fail
Pretty Baby
Among the Ten Thousand Things
Friday's Child – If you are a Heyer fan, pick this one up!
In the Unlikely Event
Somebody I Used to Know – This was a fairly interesting interesting psychological thriller/love story.
Birds of a Feather – If you haven't tried the Maisie Dobbs series, you should try it. I thought that this was a great follow up.

A collector of Scottish recordings is appealing for information from members of the public.
Next year William Dean-Myatt will donate his considerable audio collection to the National Library of Scotland. His collection of Scottish recorded sound dates from the earliest days of recording. It will be a significant enhancement to the sound materials, in a wide range of formats, already held at NLS.
Before handing over his collection, Mr Dean-Myatt is keen to complete his 'Scottish Vernacular Discography'. This will list the fullest possible information on all known Scottish commercial recordings from 1888 to 1960.
If you know of obscure commercial recordings on 78rpm disc and phonograph cylinder, Mr Dean-Myatt would like to hear from you. For details of the particular areas he interested in, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Time Zones Explained
Why Are There Time Zones?
Though the Sun appears to rotate around us each day, we are in fact rotating about our own planet's axis, and we spin in and out of the Sun's light every twenty-four hours. Because we can't all have sunlight at the same time, our days are staggered, so when it's morning in one country it's evening in another.
Time zones are a tricky concept to grasp, but once you get your head around how they work, you'll always know what time it is, wherever you are. It's easier than going away and trying to memorize how many hours ahead or behind they are back home.
The planet is divided into 360°, or imaginary lines which run vertically from pole to pole. These lines are called Meridians. The Prime Meridian, at 0°, passes through Greenwich, England. Time zones are determined by how many degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian one is, up to 180°, which is on the opposite side of the planet, and the location of the International Date Line. This is where time changes a whole day.
How to Use Them
To figure out what time zone you are in, you'll either need a good memory or a world map. If you're using a map, you can look at the lines of longitude to determine the different zones. The world is divided into twenty-four different time zones; twelve east and twelve west of the Prime Meridian. Each zone is 15° of longitude wide.
Once you are looking at the Prime Meridian on your world map, count the number of 15° sections until you reach your location.Then take the time at the Prime Meridian and add if you are west of it (eg. Canada) or subtract if you're east (eg. Russia). The number of time zones is equal to the number of hours to add or subtract to the co-ordinated universal time (UTC), at the Prime Meridian.
For example, if you are in Toronto, Ontario you are six time zones west of the Prime Meridian; or six hours less than UTC. If it is 12:00 noon in Greenwich, England, then it is 6:00 am in Toronto. This is standard time, not daylight savings.
If you're not using a map, you can memorize the different time zones and apply it to wherever you are.

This was a fun way to watch the housing market collapse in real time, as well a good way to waste a few minutes looking at dream homes all over the country.
But, sadly, the dream is over. Yesterday, Google announced it was pulling the plug on the real estate search option. From its press release:
In part due to low usage, the proliferation of excellent property-search tools on real estate websites, and the infrastructure challenge posed by the impending retirement of the Google Base API (used by listing providers to submit listings), we've decided to discontinue the real estate feature within Google Maps on February 10, 2011.
We've learned a lot and been excited to see real estate companies use Google Maps in innovative ways to help people find places to live, such as Coldwell Banker's use of Google Maps and YouTube, or Realtor.com's Android app that lets you draw a shape on a map to find all properties you're interested in.
Yet we recognize that there might be better, more effective ways to help people find local real estate information than the current feature makes possible. We'll continue to explore this area, but in the meantime, Google offers other options to home-seekers: you can still access other information in Maps such as local businesses, directions and transit times, as well as aerial and Street View imagery to explore where you might want to move, and also use Google search results to find helpful real estate information and websites.
Todd Carpenter over at the National Association of Realtor's reflects:
I'm sorry to see them go. I thought Google's entry into RE was a good thing because competition is good. Since that time, Move has completely overhauled REALTOR.com into something that Google doesn't feel they should compete with. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
In any event, it's always exciting and encouraging to watch Google try new things. And, hey, it's equally admirable when a company realizes that something isn't working and makes the appropriate course correction.
And for anyone who's still interested in scouring the nation for dirt cheap real estate, there's always this.

For the first month of our newly re-launched Cookery Club, now aptly renamed History Bakers, I chose a recipe for Baked Apple Pudding from the University's Hotham Collection.
The recipe is contained within a bundle of other loose papers consisting of cookery, medicinal, veterinary and other household recipes collected by the Countess of Stradbroke and can be found at reference number U DDHO/19/5. The recipe dates from c. 1820.
As you can see from the original recipe (above), there is limited advice for the modern cook on the exact method of preparation. Consequently, I did some further research and found other contemporary recipes for Baked Apple Pudding online which helped when it came to the cooking!
For the apples, as no particular type was specified, I decided on Granny Smiths for their sharp taste and also because I discovered that cooking apples hadn't been developed by 1820. The number of eggs in the original recipe also alarmed me a little but when looking at similar recipes it seemed that 6 eggs was the standard amount, so I decided to use just the 6 eggs and not add a further 3 whites. For the dish, having seen that the other recipes suggested serving in a 'pastry dish', I chose to bake some of the mixture in a pastry case and some in a normal glass dish. Having also needed to estimate the oven temperature I was pleasantly surprised when both turned out rather well!
All in all, I had a great time cooking the pudding even if there were a lot of fingers crossed hoping it would turn out ok! Please find my colleagues comments on the end result below with a more detailed recipe if you would like to have a go yourself.
Christine "Lovely crisp pastry that goes well with the filling. The lemon and apples really do go well together! Scrummy!"
Laura "Delicious! The texture of the apples with the zing of the lemon works well together, lovely pastry base. Yum!"
Judy "Yum! The appley/lemony filling was really light and fluffy and creamy"
Pete "Very good pudding"
Elspeth "Delicious pastry. Loved the texture of the apple with the smoother filling – scrummy!"
Martin "Absolutely lovely. Nice contrast between the apple and the custard filling"
Elaine "Really good, the lemon is very tasty – a strong flavour"
Paul "Appley texture with a zingy tang! Nice!"
Caoimhe "Delicious – very zesty"
12 middling sized apples
¼ lb butter
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
6 eggs
¼ lb sugar
(Pastry case)
4) When combined thoroughly, the mixture can be placed in a pastry case or glass dish, depending on preference.
5) Place in a preheated oven at 175C for 40 mins or until the filling is solid and does not wobble!
6) Enjoy warm or cold

Lucent Technologies posted an $8 billion restructuring charge as well as a fourth-quarter operating loss of $909 million. The struggling Murray Hill, N.J., telecommunications equipment maker said its sales in the quarter fell 28 percent but that it still hopes to return to profitability in fiscal 2002. Lucent lost $1.2 billion in the third quarter.
A $2.58 billion plan to rescue the bankrupt Swissair was announced by the Swiss government and a consortium of major private companies, but it quickly drew expressions of concern on competition grounds by the European Union, which was seeking clarification. Although not a member of the EU, Switzerland had agreed formally to abide by its limits on state aid to a commercial enterprise. The deal would transfer two-thirds of Swissair's assets to onetime regional carrier Crossair and would keep the former's long-haul routes active until Crossair can take them over next April 1.
In layoff news:
Emerson Electric Co. said it is cutting 4,000 jobs and will close about 20 plants worldwide. About 70 percent of the layoffs already have occurred, it said. On Monday, the St. Louis-based company announced it will pay $750 million for some of the assets of a Chinese telecommunications equipment maker.
Disney World asked 7,400 full-time employees to volunteer for a 20 percent cut in hours and pay to save jobs and preserve benefits.
AT&T said it is cutting 2,400 more jobs, bringing to more than 8,000 the number of layoffs announced this year, The Wall Street Journal reported.
MetLife Inc., the US's No. 2 writer of life policies, cut almost 1,900 jobs, or 4 percent of its workforce.
Phelps Dodge, the world's second-largest copper producer, announced 1,500 layoffs.
B/E Aerospace Inc. said it will cut 1,000 jobs and close five facilities. Wellington, Fla.-based B/E, which makes aircraft cabin interior products, also said its senior managers have agreed to pay cuts of up to 50 percent.
On top of the 4,000 job cuts announced in July, Japan's NEC Corp. ordered all 9,000 workers in its semiconductor division to stay home today and for one day each next month and in December. Their pay on all three occasions will be cut by 20 percent.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the US's second-largest railroad, has laid off 400 workers, an announcement said.
Bowater Inc., one of the world's largest producers of newsprint, announced it will cut 300 jobs and sell 264,000 acres of timberland.

Road safety charity the IAM is offering tips from Britain's top advanced driver, Peter Rodger. This week he is advising on avoiding problems at roundabouts.
- Information: Look well ahead; check your mirrors so that you know what other traffic there is around you. Give any signals in plenty of time. Try and identify a gap in the traffic before you reach the roundabout, but keep an eye on the car in front – they may not go for the gap you would
- Position: Approach the roundabout according to which exit you're taking. Keep to the left lane to turn left or go straight and the right lane when taking an exit on the right. Watch for any road markings guiding you and try to give other vehicles plenty of space.
- Speed: Slow down smoothly to a speed that's appropriate for the roundabout, taking into account the position of other road users
- Gears: Once you're at the right speed, and before turning, select the correct gear. Do a final mirror check, especially the mirror on the side you are turning towards
- Accelerate: At a roundabout choose a gap in the traffic and accelerate smoothly into it – the same applies to any other junction
Rodger said: "At roundabouts, it is useful to try and consider the whole thing as one manoeuvre – that way you have a plan about which lane to be in, when to move into that lane, and what signals you expect to use. But you need to prepare to be flexible – other road users don't always behave as we'd expect them to."

After a rainy day in Forks, Edward, Emmet and Jasper go hunting. But their trip is disturbed when they find a dead body in the forest. The mystery behind her death is confusing and the mystery behind her life and everything it was a part of is overwhelming. But did the Cullens and Bella throw themselves into a mystery that will end in only more death? Who is this dead girl they found? And what will happen once they find out? ALTERNATE ENDING POSTED!!! Remember to REVIEW!
1. Found
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1089 Review this Chapter
Sirens filled the sir as police cars covered every inch of the narrow street leading to the crime scene. The heavy crunch of boots on crisp autumn leaves was heard as they approached the body sprawled upon the damp ground. It just rained and the blood from the killing was washed away with dirt and rain. On the sidelines of the crime scene stood the three tall, pale men who stumbled across the body while hiking in the woods. But the men's minds were not on the scene. They knew the wounds on the girl's body. They knew where they came from. But no one would believe them if they told. For it was common knowledge that vampires didn't exist. But the three men knew the cold hard truth. Common knowledge was wrong. The girl laying dead on the forest ground was killed by a vampire. But why? Why wasn't all traces of her blood gone from her body? A vampire wouldn't kill for the fun of it. A vampire always had blood in it's mind. So if not a vampire, then what killed her?
Bella waited at home, in a corner of her room waiting for Edward to come back to her. After Edward and his brothers found the body on a hunting trip, he called Bella right away, yelling at her to keep away from the windows and doors. For there was a killer vampire on the loose, and he couldn't take any chances. Whenever a shadow moved across the room, or an unidentifiable noise was heard, Bella would shriek and look around desperately for the cause of the disturbance. But it was never something. It was always nothing.
"Stay hidden until I come back," were Edward's exact orders. Bella wasn't the rebellious kind and took his warning seriously. She knew what would happen if…she didn't even want to think about it. All she knew and all she wanted to know was that Edward would be back soon. Or at least she hoped.
Minutes ticked by as Edward, Jasper and Emmett answered every questions the police threw at them.
"When did you find the body?"
"3:45 pm, sir."
"Is he body exactly as you found it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Can you identify the body?"
"No, sir."
On and on the questions were asked. Some even a same question as before but just reworded. Edward's patience was fleeing and it was only a matter of time before he snapped the officer's neck. Edward knew what the officer was doing. Playing tricks on him. Trying to get him to mess up. Just one answer that contradicted an older one, and they had a suspect. But then the 'voice' that Edward was dreading come ringing into his mind. Bella's father, Chief of Police, already had a grudge on him. And Edward mysteriously finding a dead body in the middle of the woods didn't lighten Charlie's opinion on his daughter's boy friend. Well, now fiancée, but Charlie didn't know that.
"Edward," Charlie stated blankly. Even though it wasn't a greeting, Edward saw it as his duty to respond.
"Hello, Mr. Swan," Edward said holding out his hand. Charlie just looked at the pale hand held out to him. Edward let his arm drop to his side after a few seconds of no contact.
"What do we have here?" Charlie asked even though he knew perfectly well what the situation was.
"This young boy and his brothers found this dead body here in the woods. They are now being questioned," a police man close by stated. Charlie nodded his head as if in understanding, but he was actually sizing Edward up. Looking for any twitching, shaking, any indications that Edward was lying. But he saw nothing. That didn't ease his suspicions though.
"How long have you been questioning them?" Charlie asked.
"For about an hour and a half, sir," the police man said. "We have found out all we can, I was just about to let them go home," the police man said, looking at Charlie nervously.
"Fine," Charlie spat and stomped away. Edward instantly relaxed and started to walk away.
"Are you on bad terms with the Chief of Police?" the police man asked form behind. Edward stopped walking.
"I'm dating his daughter," Edward said simply.
"Ah," the police man responded. He saw how seriously Charlie took Bella. He wasn't surprised at Charlie's reaction. Edward started to walk towards his brother's again and told them that they could go home.
"Finally," Emmett said a little irritated. Jasper just looked relived. The smell of the blood wasn't washed away yet, and the hordes of police men didn't help Jasper from resisting from massacring them all. Needless to say, they got out of there as fast as they could. They started to run when they were out of sight.
"I have a feeling that there is something we don't know," Jasper said thoughtfully. Edward nodded.
"The vampire that killed her didn't drink her blood. I never heard of that before," Edward added. "We have to tell Carlisle about this. Who was that girl anyway? She looked…familiar in a small way. I…can't explain it." His brothers nodded in understanding. They had the exact same feeling.
"What we do know that this is no ordinary cold-blooded killing," Emmett said gravely.
"I better get back to Bella," Edward said quickly. He didn't wait for a response and ran off in the direction of Bella's house. To his relief, Bella was waiting for him at he door.
"Edward," Bella whispered frightened. "What happened?" she asked even quieter.
"I…don't know. We think that it is a vampire killing, but…this one is different," Edward said carefully. He looked at Bella's reaction carefully.
"Victoria?" she asked curiously. When Edward shook his head, her eyes grew wide.
"We don't know who yet, but promise me that you will stay safe," Edward said, boring his eyes into hers. He knew how it effected her and he needed her to make this promise.
"I promise," Bella said quickly. Edward relaxed a little, but was still on edge. The girl that was killed…she was so familiar but so unknown. She had curly caramel hair and average features. An average person. For some reason though…he regretted her death. He knew nothing about her, but he knew that her death was not an accident. He knew that she was important. He knew that there was more to the story. He didn't know how right he was.

Pink Throw Beads
Pink Throw Beads
Mardi Gras throw beads are
traditionally thrown off of the Mardi Gras floats during the parade into the
crowds of people who are watching the parade and celebrating the holiday. The
traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold can be found
decorating the entire parade and in the strands of throw beads. Though these
festive throw beads are usually used to add to the decoration and fun in the
celebration of Mardi Gras, these throw beads are made in different colors and
shapes so they can be used to celebrate other holidays and celebrations as
The color pink decorates these throw beads in all different shades of pink and lengths of strands. There are 40" hot pink round throw beads, and even chain beads in hot pink in a length of 42". For a little bit more flair and sparkle, there are also iridescent pink and pearl pink throw beads. These beads would be great to help celebrate a Valentine's Day party or to decorate a girl's birthday party. To really layer these beads and wear many at a time, there are hot pink twist beads which are each beaded in a pattern. The pattern in which these strands are beaded makes each strand less bulky and therefore collectively easier to intertwine together.

At the Prospect Road branch of California Federal Savings and Loan, it`s the brass polish used on the decorations; at Sand and Spurs Stables in Pompano Beach, it`s the horse manure.
Those are just two of 10 businesses that Broward County officials say may have to close or move because they use toxic substances too close to wells that supply drinking water.
The county`s wellfield protection ordinance requires that businesses must stop using any toxic substance near a water well. But the law does not detail how the county should compensate businesses that have to move or close as a result.
If the 10 businesses now slated for closure can prove any loss as a direct result of the ordinance, the cost could run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Broward Water Resources Advisory Committee will hold a public meeting at 10 a.m. Wednesday to explain its proposed compensation procedure and how a business can seek an exemption. It is the first step before a public hearing and eventual vote by the County Commission.
Every business and government facility that uses toxic substances near one of Broward`s 295 wells must have a permit from the county in an effort to protect drinking water from pollution. Those businesses are in a primary ``zone of influence,`` the area in which a toxic substance in the ground would reach the drinking-water well within 10 days.
Officials have outlined two other zones of potential hazard in which pollutants could take as long as 210 days to reach the wells, but for now attention is being focused on businesses that are the closest.
A business can be exempt from the law if it has the technology to isolate its toxic substances from the water supply or shows other unusual circumstances, according to the proposal.

Meet Kyle and Stan. No, I'm not talking about the potty-mouthed duo from South Park, but rather the latest Malvertising network from hell. It's ingenius. It's pernicious. And it threatens both Mac and Windows users.
Malvertising is a portmanteau of 'malware' and 'advertising'. The way it works is simple. Firstly, legitimate online advertising channels are used in order to force browsers to download malicious software. Troublingly, victims don't even need to be on a suspect website. These malicious adverts have even been served through such innocuous websites like Amazon.com, Apple.com and ads.yahoo.com.
Kyle and Stan takes advantage of social engineering in order to pump your computer full of unwanted and unpleasant malware. Curious as to how you can fight back? Read on.
How The Attack Works
The attack is contingent upon a number of things. The first is somehow convincing a traditional (and legitimate) advertising network – such as DoubleClick, by Google – to run an advert that contains malicious code. Whilst undetected by the ad network, this advert is then cascaded to other legitimate sites, which then executes in the browser and then redirects users to sites serving malicious software.
The malware also determines what operating system and browsers are being used by examining the user-agent string, which contains a wealth of information on the configuration of the computer. This contains everything from the screen resolution, to the plugins that are running on the browser.
Once the malware has determined the operating system of the user, it then makes a decision where to redirect the browser. Mac users are sent to sites that serve malware that is specific to OS X and is bundled as a DMG, whilst Windows users are sent to sites that serve Windows malware as executable files.
Your browser will then automatically download an the malware. This is reported to be a bundle of legitimate software – generally a media player – in addition to several malware packages and a configuration file that is specific to the user.
As the Cisco blog post which initially identified the malware remarked, the interesting thing about 'Kyle and Stan' is that it also attacks Mac users. These are users who have traditionally not had to deal with the security risks that are inherent in Microsoft Windows, and as a result may be more vulnerable to the social aspect of the attack.
The malware served by Kyle and Stan fundamentally differer in how they operate, and how they are removed for each platform targeted. Curious? Read on.
The Windows Malware
The Windows malware is a 32-bit Windows app written in C++. Upon execution it installs several pieces of malware, as well as NewPlayer. This comes disguised as a media player, which is the legitimate facet that disguises other, less-than-legitimate activity. Namely, it hijacks Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox and serves unwanted advertisements and popups, and hijacks search traffic.
The Windows malware served by Kyle and Stan obfuscates its activity with something called Dynamic Forking. This works by hijacking legitimate processes, and replaces them with other activity. This allows the malware to bypass Windows' security features, and allows it to install new malicious software without arising suspicion. A more detailed explanation of how this works can be found on the Cisco blog post.
Dynamic Forking is incredibly challenging to mitigate against. It also shows the extreme level of sophistication of this particular malware. But what about removing it? Well, getting rid of NewPlayer is a well documented, well understood process. However, as previously mentioned, this installs (and can install) other arbitrary packages. As a result, you're advised to have an updated and current antivirus installation. This is documented fully in our Malware Removal Guide.
The Mac Malware
But what about the Mac malware? When a Mac visits a site that is running a Kyle and Stan advert, a DMG is automatically downloaded. Inside is a copy of MPlayerX, a legitimate media player that was reviewed last year by my colleague, Dave LeClair.
This comes bundled with two less-than-legit pieces of malware. Both are browser hijackers: Conduit and VSearch. Conduit has a veneer of legitimacy – it's created by an actual company with employees, offices and mailing addresses – and the user has the option to opt-out of installing this particular browser hijacker. There's no such option for VSearch, however.
The behavior of VSearch is consistent with most browser hijackers. Search traffic is redirected through their own portals which have their own adverts splashed about, and popup advertisements are launched periodically. It's annoying, and intrusive. And more importantly, it's a threat to your privacy. VSearch also starts at runtime, as a launcher is added to launchctl once installed.
Removing it is relatively easy though. Just drop the following items in the trash:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
What Can You Do?
Defeating Kyle and Stan is easy. You just need to be incredibly vigilant. Has your computer automatically downloaded an executable that you weren't expecting? Does it look fishy? Have you been redirected to the download page of a piece of software you're not familiar with? These are all reasons to be concerned.
I'd also encourage you to also have a modern, updated antivirus running on your system. This also goes for Mac users. I'm quite fond of Sophos OS X antivirus.
Have you been hit by Kyle and Stan? Let me know about it. Comments box is below.

Another reason to install an adblocker, if one were actually needed. The ad industry must be having kittens at the moment; they're far from most peoples favourite thing about the internet on a good day, if they start (again you might add) serving malware on a regular basis they're helping to kybosh their own business model, and if they're not taking sufficient care in screening ads, someone ought to be suing them too.
That said, much as the delivery method is clever, I can't imagine many people really getting caught out on either platform, although Windows is unsurprisingly the harder bitten if infected. You might, if careless, click on an attachment to an email, but open a DMG and install software you have no recollection of asking for? Really?? Do people really ignore the years of advice not to do exactly that?
Bottom line is we have to take the profit out of it. Don't buy anything from any add that pops up unexpectedly. Take the time to wrote to the advertiser and tell them why you will never buy their products. Someone, not me, ha ha, should start making a list of these advertisers and make it available so other consumers will know and also boycott those advertisers.
had this problem for several weeks. Hitman Pro found 'windows update kb70007' was a virus.
Yet another reason why to love Linux :)
I was wondering why I had so many pop ups with adblocker and a popup blocker on. I just removed kyle and stan and now no more ads. Thank you for this info.
Well with Adblocker on I dont think I need worry that much.
I never accept anything that just downloads automatically without me specifically requesting it. I also don't download any software that someone pushes at me. Hey, it's only a matter of time before someone starts distributing malware that targets Linux, and I'm not taking any chances.
I now wonder, would the browser extension User Agent Overrider screw with this malware in the initial phases?
If unfamiliar, User Agent Overrider is an extension previously used to get sites like netflix to play in linux
I'm prepared to advocate for the death penalty for the scum who create and distribute these insidious bits of software.
It's all about making money. It may be a shady of making money but so what. The weak link here is not the people who make and distribute this kind of software but rather the users that actually run the software that is automatically downloaded to their computer.
These idiots should be thrown into a deep dark place somewhere, full of creepy crawly's

Vocalist Diane Penning has a Christmas party to plan for
her husband, three sons and 35 of their closest family members. But not
until she sings with three Michigan orchestras at their holiday pops
Penning makes a stop at the Wharton Center's Cobb Great Hall with the Lansing Symphony Orchestra on Sunday.
The Grand Rapids native has a bachelor's in music and
voice from the University of Michigan and a master's of music degree in
voice performance from Western Michigan University. She teaches private
lessons and is an adjunct voice instructor at Grand Rapids Community
College, but she never turns down the chance to perform.
"I fit very well into the niche of holiday pops," Penning
said. "The shows are very eclectic. There are some classical selections
and some more standard, popular ones."
This year, the audience will hear her renditions of "O
Holy Night," "I Wonder as I Wander," "Silver Bells," "It's Beginning to
Look a Lot Like Christmas" and two versions of "Ave Maria."
"With the Christmas pop tunes, I can get so carried
away," she admitted. "They bring back so many memories (for the
audience). They encapsulate family and traditions, and it's really
rewarding to bring people to that."
But she can't help but include some less-seasonal tunes.
"Classical music gives me an opportunity to show everything I've trained for," she said.
"It's definitely more difficult and challenging. You
really have to lay it on the line and give it everything you've got. I
always try to throw in something classical because I really enjoy
singing that genre."
She performed at the Lansing holiday pops series in 2008.
"The orchestra, of course, is wonderful — top-notch. I
work with lots of different conductors, but I particularly enjoy
working with (Timothy Muffitt). He makes (me) feel very comfortable and
at ease."
This year's performance will also feature high school
student musicians in a performance of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite."
Also featured is cellist Isabel Kwon, a student at Okemos
High School and winner of this year's Symphony Youth Competition. Kwon
will be performing Antonin Dvorak's "Silent Woods."
Lansing Symphony Orchestra and Diane Penning: Holiday Pops
3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11
Cobb Great Hall,
Wharton Center

Check out the latest news from the AIGA:
The AIGA Design Leaders Confidence Index for the fourth quarter of 2009 reflects strong confidence in an economic recovery. The index held at 98, up from 51 in October 2008 and consistent with designers' attitudes during the period 2005–2007.
AIGA anticipates that the real measure of the state of the design economy is likely to come in the first quarter of 2010, as designers experience the effects of corporate budgets that were determined during a weakened economy. However, only 6 percent of the design leaders surveyed last month expected business over the next six months to be worse than current business levels.
Nearly a third of respondents (29 percent) believe they will be more likely to hire new designers in this quarter than last; only 18 percent felt they were less likely to hire new designers. And 44 percent felt their plans of purchasing new hardware and software had increased compared with three months ago.

C/D Driving Impressions and Performance Rating:
The Accord feels competent and controlled in any form, and aside from the Mazda 6, it offers more true driving enjoyment than most of its competition. Though it doesn't quite reach into sporting territory, the Accord goes where it's told and is ready for spirited driving whenever you are.
The Accord's ride is firm and composed but not harsh, absorbing rough spots in the road without jostling passengers. A sportier suspension tuning in the Sport and Sport SE models (along with the larger 19-inch wheels) may result in a harsher ride, but it also helps keep body motions in check while cornering.
The Accord returned 0.80 g on our 300-foot-diameter skidpad, a test that measures lateral acceleration and gives us a rough idea of how well a car will hold the road when cornering at speed. The Accord's effort in that test is not an exceptional one—the Mazda 6 and Subaru Legacy were tested at 0.87 g and 0.85 g, respectively—but it did better than a Toyota Camry.
The Accord's steering is light and lacks on-center feel, but it reacts to inputs quickly and accurately, and the tuning feels in character for this family sedan. The Accord may not have the weight and feedback that enthusiasts look for, but it should suit commuters just fine. Of the Accord's competitors, only the Mazda 6's communicative steering stands out from the crowd.
Maximum Cornering Capability, C/D Test Results
In sedan form, the Accord's brakes bring it to a stop from 70 mph in just under 180 feet, which is roughly average for the class. The Toyota Camry returned a similar result, but we measured a 173-foot stopping distance in a Subaru Legacy with its standard all-wheel drive. The hybrid takes significantly longer to stop, at 195 feet, due to its efficiency-minded, low-rolling-resistance tires, which help to improve fuel economy but can impede performance. These stopping distances are close to the numbers returned by the Toyota Camry, but they're slightly longer than the efforts of the Chevrolet Malibu, which stopped in 181 feet with its hybrid powertrain and 167 feet with its optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.
Maximum Acceleration
Depending on the powertrain, the Accord can be quite quick when accelerating from a standstill. The powerful V-6 engine sprints to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, faster than the time we recorded in a V-6 Camry. The base four-cylinder engine paired with a manual transmission managed the same run in 7.0 seconds flat (choosing the efficiency-tuned CVT added 0.6 second), while the Accord hybrid needed 7.2 seconds to reach 60 mph—another dead heat with the Camry.
