You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'manuscript' tag.
A book is created in many stages: first, the idea has to come to you about what you simply must write, working its way from some small niggling in the depth of your being to an AHA! moment when you truly see the possibility, the life of the project, laid out in front of you; then the writing starts, bogs down, starts again, stops, creeps ahead – dependent on you to keep it alive with one eye constantly searching the endless horizon of this new world you have inhabited, somehow able to see through the clouds and fog that there is a future in what you are doing; the horribly anal process of editing the writing, dissecting each word, sentence and paragraph -just like cleaning a messy house, it will get worse before it gets better; and finally placing your precious manuscript in a package that will appeal to buyers, engage readers, and most importantly do justice to your original concept.
In my case, I chose to self-publish Walking with Wolf rather than spend the time, energy and money on convincing an agent or publisher that it would be worth their while to invest in me and my manuscript. It was a decision that came to me slowly. This book was written in Canada by a Canadian, about a man and community in Costa Rica, with a backdrop critical of American history. Although I know that the market for the book can be huge, I wasn't sure if a publisher in any one country would see the possibilities as I do. However, when I returned from Costa Rica in the spring of 2006, having "finished" writing the manuscript, I was bent on finding someone to take over the completion of the book. I imagined myself at home, following the instructions sent by the pros, returning perfectly edited copy, giving my final approval on artistic decisions, relaxing with cups of coffee and glasses of merlot in between. I didn't stay in this unreal world for very long. Once I had taken a breather and truly looked at what was involved with selling my manuscript to a publisher (and after hearing numerous horror stories by authors who had totally lost control of their work) I decided that I was going to keep this project in-house, maintain control and finish the course myself. That simple, naive decision placed me on a whole new learning curve – out of my experience, way out of my comfort zone – and into the hands of the professionals I hired to help me, artists who in short order became mentors and friends.
In February of 2007, on the recommendation of friends in Guelph, Ontario, I hired Jane Pavanel, a professional editor in Montreal. I went to meet her and spent a night in her home, to see if we might be able to work together, and immediately liked her and her family. I am not a detail oriented person, much more into wide concepts (while others stop to identify a tree, I'll keep on skipping merrily through the forest), but have come to appreciate the personality of an editor – totally anal, completely obsessed with minute detail, capable of visualizing the overall picture being painted even when it is out of their personal realm of experience. I then spent three months in Costa Rica working with Wolf, crawling through Jane's editorial vision which arrived by internet on a regular basis. We sat on the shady porch of my little wooden casita in Monteverde and worked our way through the manuscript, rewriting, clarifying, reworking. Jane quickly became known as "the dastardly" – and her ears must have burned to a crisp back in Montreal as we growled and grumbled our way through the work. I have absolutely no doubt that the book is much better for the editing, and for Jane's careful criticism, but the process nearly drove me crazy. How could she not understand what we were saying? How stupid can she be? For the first time in all the years of working on this project, it was I who was more impatient than Wolf, and he spent a lot of time calming me down. One evening at a party in Monteverde, I stood around a bonfire with two other local authors, Jim Wolfe and Mark Wainwright, who were also in the editing process of their current book projects, and we fried editors everywhere, like hot dogs skewered on long sticks then dropped into the flames before us. It was some kind of rite-of-passage as an author I would think. It felt good at the time anyway. And despite the many things said, I am full of respect and affection for Jane, and totally appreciative of what her work contributed to Walking with Wolf.
The editing continued in fits and starts following my return to Canada, through a couple more complete readings, and finally I felt the manuscript was ready for packaging. Through cyber-serendipity, in September I connected with an old friend, Laurie Hollis-Walker, who worked in publishing in a former life but is now the creator of the first eco-psychology undergraduate class in Canada, teaching about the history, concepts, and value of social activism at Brock University. She was exactly who I needed to have come into my life at just the right moment – someone I knew, respected, and trusted – someone who was completely overworked herself but didn't hesitate to take on helping me with my project. She walked me through the stages of putting the manuscript into page format, kept me calm, and we kept each other laughing. The added benefit to this relationship was being part of her class on activism and getting to know a great group of fourth-year university students who have been permanently altered by Laurie's approach to the concept of affecting positive social change.
In October I was introduced through my friend David Willis to Ken Kroesser who runs a computer design company in Toronto called Creative Lift Corp. Ken and I worked together to create the cover. This was really out of my field and having someone of Ken's expertise and extremely considerate temperment was a gift. Working together almost didn't happen, due to emails not getting through and computer-communication breakdowns, but when we finally met over wine and good food, I knew I would enjoy working with him. And now I consider him not only my mentor and a geek-guru of sorts (although he's much too cool to think of as geeky), but also a lead cheerleader, mental-health counsellor, business manager, and friend. I also love what he put together, working very much as a team with me, for the cover of Walking with Wolf. It involved last minute requests to Jim Richards, a photographer friend of Wolf's in Monteverde, who went out in the forest to catch one more image of the man for the back cover. It also meant pouring through old photographs of mine till we found what we were looking for for the front cover. It was imposing on my patient sister, Maggie, who lives in Washington State, to create and send drawings of foliage and sketches for a logo (and can you do that yesterday?). It is her little vine snippet that is the design flourish in the book and her drawing, finished off by Ken, which is the logo for Wandering Words Press, the name of my company. Then, of course, there are all the little details of the actual art and design which Ken patiently explained to me, but I still don't understand. But I have trust and respect for him and his talent, and I love the final product, and that's enough for me.
The last person in the pre-printing circus was Bruce MacLean at 11th Hour Imaging/Scan11 in Toronto. A friend of Ken's, he initially was called upon to scan photographs, but eventually took on the big task of the index. I have decided that if, and when, I write another book, I'm going to write the index first and then write the book to fit the index! I think it would be easier that way. Walking with Wolf is a 300-page book filled with historical and biological data, names, dates, places and events. The final index is ten pages long. The decisions about what to include and how and where in the index to include them is another extremely detail-oriented task – something left to obsessive-compulsive folks, not me. But Bruce did it with professional calmness and an objective eye and somehow we got through it.
I proofread and proofread again. Many times. Always found something. The index was completed, all the computer files were assembled, the picture layout ready, the cover tweeked within a nano-meter of its life. I had chosen a printing company in Quebec, Transcontinental, on the advice of a couple of friends who had used them in the past. I liked the contact I had with Pierre Gilbert, the sales rep at Transcon. Everything was ready to go, a couple of deadlines missed, and finally, in early April 2008 the files were sent. Bruce sent me laser copies of the book at the same time that he sent everything to the printer.
The package arrived one afternoon. I was having friends over for supper and decided to wait until late in the evening for the big unveiling, not really anticipating any problems since I'd been working with Bruce and Ken and seeing the files all the way through the process. About midnight, after a great night of wine and chatter, we had the big drum roll and opened the package. The first page that came out was the color copy print of the cover, perhaps the most important page of the book package. And I cried. The color was super green, hyper-green I called it. It wasn't what I had been expecting, having seen a much more natural coloring in the images that I had seen on my computer screen. I was heartbroken. I immediately emailed the printer – hold the presses – and emailed Bruce & Ken – what happened? Turns out I was very unaware that the hard copy would be so different from the image on my monitor – but also Ken had upped the green a bit at the last minute (as an illustrator with artistic license). Unfortunately, it wasn't what I wanted. I couldn't believe that we had come this far on this book that deals with conservation of the emerald forest, and I was having a profound problem with the cover being too green. It was both anti-climatic and completely ironic.
But working with professionals, everything gets fixed. It is just about having patience, and learning that all deadlines are just that – more dead than active – and that after eighteen years, what's another day or week, or even month for that matter? The printer has it now – transmission of computer file dilemmas were solved – artistic crises averted – last minute mistakes caught in the eleventh hour were fixed.
And now, we wait.

I'm working on an artists rendering of what that system might have looked like.
I'm going to be able to hook Wii up through RF, right?
Did I read somewhere that old games would be available via download? If so...this sold me even more
Then there's other stuff like Maximum Carnage, Mega Man X, Super Street Fighter II, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Mortal Kombat II, Mario Kart....
Does anyone have recommendations on what games I should pick up?

Magic Bus: CTS fares disappear for UVA students, staff, and faculty
The City seems to have learned this lesson from offering a free trolley route ( began as the "HooBus"), which faced some opposition when it was proposed, but has since become the most traveled CTS City route, shuttling nearly 1,080 riders a day from the University to the Downtown Mall–to borrow from a local car dealership, "Everybody rides!"
Starting April 2, UVA students, staff, and faculty will be able to ride free on any CTS route with a UVA photo ID. The change comes after a year of negotiations between the Charlottesville Transit Service and the University of Virginia, during which a pilot program resulted in a sharp increase in CTS rider-ship. The program will run until June 2008, and as the CTS is quick to remind us, the fare-free program does not apply to the Football Shuttle service or to CTS LINK service.
So could this be a prelude to a City-wide free transit system for everyone? According to City spokesperson Ric Barrick, thats not out of the question.
"Yes, we're looking at the feasibility of becoming a fare free system," says Barrick, "but currently its just in the planning stages. We would need to make up for the $30,000 a month fare revenue that is generated, but City Council has expressed an interest in the possibility."
Given the fact that Charlottesville is awash in cash, giving up $360,000 a year to get people out of their cars, and to make getting around Charlottesville free, might not seem like much of a sacrifice to some.

Free city transit is a great idea. There's no reason to penalize people supporting cleaner environments and less congestions on our roads.
A fare-free system would be awesome for a lot of different reasons. $30k a month doesn't seem THAT high (and seems pretty low for paid ridership, frankly). What if the City created a small parking tax - add 10-cents or 25-cents an hour to paid parking, for instance, and maybe tack on a buck or two for parking tickets? Might not even take that much - I'm sure somebody knows how many hours of paid parking there are in the garages and lot. That would probably fund free mass transit - and what better source of funding than from people who are clogging the streets, atmosphere, and parking assets? The tax would have to be for the specific purpose of supporting free mass transit, and the law would have to be written to make it next to impossible for Council to use any excess funds for anything else.
The buses are going to be driving around all day anyway - let's put more people in them and realize the environmental benefits of having a bus system.
Another idea I've heard but not lately is having satellite lots and express buses downtown. People dislike the bus because there are so many stops, and it takes too long. If people could park at, say, Pantops or some other lots on the outskirts of town and catch a bus heading directly to the new Pavilion Rest Room building - thereby saving money on parking (which is not cheap for commuters), they might actually take advantage of it.
The concept of mass transit is unbeatable, but in Charlottesville it doesn't seem to have been deployed very effectively.
Make the college punks pay for their rides....

Why do I need CunardCare?
CunardCare can protect you against a number of unexpected occurrences that may affect your travel plans. For example, if a medical problem involving you, a member of your immediate family or your traveling companion suddenly arises causing you to cancel your cruise or return home earlier than planned, you probably would not receive a full refund of your vacation payment. CunardCare is specially designed to reimburse you for the monies forfeited in such instances.
You may also need this program to supplement your existing insurance policies while traveling. Many medical policies, including Medicare, do not provide coverage for medical expenses incurred outside the
CunardCare also responds in many other unexpected circumstances such as providing potentially costly air ambulance transportation in emergencies and locating English-speaking medical and legal assistance worldwide, 24-hours a day. The Schedule of Coverages and Services below summarizes the wide array of benefits and services included automatically under CunardCare.
Are There Exclusions?
In order to provide this package of benefits at an economical cost without requiring medical exams or questionnaires, certain restrictions do apply.
Most notably, NO COVERAGE CAN BE PROVIDED FOR CONDITIONS WHICH EXISTED SHORTLY BEFORE OR WHEN YOU PURCHASED CUNARDCARE.
However, as a service to its guests who enroll in CunardCare, Cunard Line will issue a future travel credit equal to either (1) the penalty incurred as a result of cancellation or (2) the pro-rated amount of the cruise cost remaining in the event of trip interruption. Only Cunard Line can offer this special credit feature.
Naturally, the program also does not provide duplicate payments if there are other sources of reimbursement available. Such restrictions are standard in virtually all travel protection products. All terms, conditions and exclusions of this program are explained in detail in the Description of Coverage section of this plan.
How Do I Enroll In CunardCare?
For your convenience, the cost of coverage, which is a small percentage of your total cruise price, will be automatically included in the final balance due on Cunard's invoice to your Vacations To Go cruise counselor. Enrollment in CunardCare is made by simply paying this balance. If you do not wish to take advantage of this coverage, please ask your cruise counselor to deduct the cost of coverage from the balance due. Payments for this plan will not be accepted after the later of the following; Your final cruise payment date or the commencement of Cunard Line's penalty period.
If I'm Not Completely Satisfied, Is My Coverage Refundable?
If you are not completely satisfied within 10 days of receipt of this Description of Coverage, you may request a full refund of the plan cost provided you have not already departed on your trip.

When installing macOS Mojave, you might see an alert saying that an error occurred during installation, followed by "com.apple.OSInstallerSetup.error Code=551". Try these solutions:
- To find out whether the alert is related to the network settings on your Mac, you can use Network preferences to add a network location. If the default settings in the new network location don't help, you can easily switch back to your current network settings.
- If you're using third-party firewall software or other security software, it could be blocking the network access required by the software update. In that case, either reconfigure the software or temporarily disable it until after installing the update.
- If your network is using an authenticated proxy (common in some enterprise environments), you might need to check with your network administrator or install the update from a different network. Some authenticated proxies don't allow the specific Internet access required by Apple software updates.
If you still can't install macOS Mojave, contact Apple Support for help.

They say size matters. They say bigger is better.
In some things. But not in California politics.
Yes, the state has big problems. And it needs big changes to its governing system. But no one wants those things. We only do, and debate, the small.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
California has huge problems with employee compensation and hundreds of billions of unfunded obligations for pensions and other retiree benefits.
Our response: pension legislation that is small and would save only a fraction of those obligations.
The state has a structural imbalance between receipts and revenues. So do we make big changes to the budget system? Or do we raise revenues permanently to bridge the gap?
No, we have a two-year debate about relatively small, temporary changes to tax rates.
That's the madness of Prop 30. The debate over the temporary tax initiative is really about revenues that would be only temporary and would represent well less than 10 percent of the budget.
The alternative? Another temporary tax increase that is supposed to save education but wouldn't even get the state's spending on schools up to the national average.
But that our media, our political elites, and voters no longer seem to recognize how small these changes are.
These fights only look big because this big state has, in its politics, become so tiny.

So here are my genealogy goals for 2012. I'm hoping this year will go a little smoother than last year, now that I have a relatively sturdy foundation for goal-setting and goal reaching, thanks to the last several months of the Success Team with Laura.
- Obtain the addresses, birth dates, and anniversary dates for all of my first cousins on both sides of my family … and names and birth dates of spouses and children. Oh and all my half siblings' spouses and kids too.
- Attend at least five (5) Scanfests (or equivalent) this year - and actually scan stuff.
- Scan and label at least 15 photos and/or negatives each week, or until they are done, whichever happens first.
- Attend at least two (2) genealogy conferences.
- Give at least two (2) presentations to my genealogical society.
- Index at least 200 records per month at FamilySearch Indexing.
- Add at least five (5) individual ancestor stories to my website.
- Blog at least twice per week.
- Finish reading Greenwood's "The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy."
- Add at least three (3) website links per week to my online toolbox.
I plan to update my progress on these goals once per quarter, so ... we'll see how it goes! Good luck to everyone on their goals for the new year!

Dash-cam video shows woman's arrest during diabetic episode
Sheriff's office reviewing incident
Shocking dash camera footage shows a diabetic woman being dragged out of her car by Santa Fe County sheriff deputies, all while she was having a diabetic episode.
Even more alarming she's just left handcuffed on the pavement.
Right now, the sheriff said some things should have been done differently and he takes the matter seriously.
In the video, deputies yank Revina Garcia out of her car. She had just been in a car accident after having a severe diabetic attack and is completely limp.
"I was just lost, I was just lost," Garcia said.
After the slamming into the back of a truck, Garcia said she couldn't open the door.
"I just didn't know how to open the door," Garcia said.
A deputy shattered Garcia's car window and pulled her out of the car. Garcia was then thrown on the street face down and handcuffed.
"In this case there was no resistance. We are looking at that very seriously," Santa Fe County Sheriff Robert Garcia said.
With Garcia's face on the ground and her not moving at all, deputies walk away. Garcia said her blood sugar was so low that she could have gone into a coma.
"What concerns me is there is no need to lay someone on the ground for that amount of time. There were other deputies around that could have assisted in at least sitting her up or having her placed in a cruiser," said the sheriff.
Garcia was face down on the pavement for more than a minute, and the Sheriff says he's going to look into just how hot it was that day and how hot that pavement could have been.
The video shows, deputies finally taking Garcia to the police car.
"I'm surprised I didn't go into a coma in the back of that police car," Garcia said.
After 10 minutes, paramedics arrived and Garcia was treated for the diabetic episode.
The sheriff said this incident will bring awareness and training to make sure this never happens again. Right now, there's an internal review of Revina Garcia's arrest.
The sheriff plans on meeting with the Garcia family to discuss ways law enforcement can improve and make sure medical issues are considered at each scene and treated properly.

One boy's long road to recovery. Matthew was born two months premature with a rare fourfold heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCA's, and Ventricular Septal Defect. He's had two open heart surgeries and will need additional heart surgeries in the future. To appreciate the absolute miracle of this "3 plus million dollar boy", you'd need to look into the "Archives" beginning after his first 9 hr open heart surgery at Stanford, August 2005.

Tsukuyomi is noted to be one of the most powerful genjutsu in existence.[2] It is said to represent the "Spiritual World and Darkness" (精神界と闇, Seishinkai to Yami), the antipode to Amaterasu — a ninjutsu of similar power.[1]
Tsukuyomi requires eye contact to be performed, trapping the target within an illusion completely under the user's control. Itachi's prowess with the technique has allowed him to alter the perception of time with ease within the genjutsu to make a few seconds seem like many days as a means to torture the target. This results in the victim suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. After Itachi used it on Kakashi in Part I, Kisame was surprised that Kakashi's mind was still intact.[3] Only Tsunade has been shown capable of curing this psychological damage.[4]
In the anime during Part I, Itachi's use of Tsukuyomi typically featured a red moon casting a red light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere, giving the background a blood-red appearance while the victim within the illusion is in depicted in an inverted grey scale.
Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary and an added amount of stress is placed on the left eye, leaving Itachi's vision more blurred. Before using it on Kakashi in Part I, Itachi stated that Tsukuyomi can only be broken by a Sharingan user that shares the same blood as him;[5] as demonstrated when Sasuke overcame Itachi's Tsukuyomi in their battle.[6]
If a victim is forced to experience a drastic passage of time in the fraction of a second Tsukuyomi is actually active, the stress on their mind would kill them, even if the genjutsu was a happy and peaceful one, such as when Itachi uses this technique to kill Izumi Uchiha by having her experience decades worth of time in a fraction of a second.[7]
Pulling from the ancient Japanese myth of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, where when Izanagi washed his face after escaping the underworld his left eye became Tsukuyomi, the Moon god. Interestingly, as Tsukuyomi is the Moon, he is also associated with the passing of time, and at times cited to be the God of Time (or at least of the calendar), fitting the genjutsu's ability to alter the perception of the passing of time.
- In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Itachi uses Tsukuyomi in a different manner. He has the red moon crush the opponent while the image of the moon warps into a copy of his Mangekyō Sharingan eye.

The bitter sweet loss
by chinaman
Published: 4th September, 2004
So, the Tigers were undone by the Scots and were brought back to the all-forgiving same old mother earth in the twinkle of an over. Interestingly, the win however matters more to the Scotland than the loss means to the Tigers. It was a remarkable season for the Scotland and their quest to stay a step ahead of Ireland got yet another boost.
It was a perfect day for the Tigers to begin with. Slow but steady flows of runs continue to come by at the beginning. The healthy state of wickets at hand soon started to be translated into piles of runs in a crescendo. Young batting sensation Aftab came out of ages to be his usual self and notched up a 98 ball 80. He has been struggling to come to terms with the bat ever since he was drafted weeks ago. But in this match, he wasted no time to redeem himself for the upcoming Trophy.
The singles and fours might not have been preventable but the no-ball was.
Nafees opened with Ashraful while Javed was rested. Ashraful made his contribution of 20 before being the first casualty to leave the Tigers at 38 for one. It was apparent from the Scottish decision to send the visitors in after winning the toss, that the pitch might show movement in the early hours. And it was proven correct, as the visitors found runs very hard to come by in the morning. Nafees Iqbal, more used to the opening slot than the one down position, read the pitch well and batted patiently.
As the pitch began to dry up, he geared up as well for a big one only to be caught for 42 off 75 balls. Aftab from the other end showed no signs of mercy. The two, run between the wickets, in a super display of partnership worth 75 runs.
Faisal Hossain Dickens, who never really got the right chances to prove himself, made complete use of this lone opportunity scoring a decent 54 off 71 and showed once again that he is not ready yet to be forgotten so easily.
To our delight, this is the first time in a very long while our upper order showed their true potential. There was no familiar collapse for a change. Even Rajin's premature departure was never felt. A timely and smart decision to promote Tapash ahead of Rana set the tone for a score that is very much defendable by any standard.
What followed afterwards is now history. An attack made up of Tapash, Aziz, Nazmul, Rafique and Rana is the best that can be assembled from the current squad. How this formidable bowling line up failed to defend the defendable might therefore be of some, if not immense, academic interest.
For a quick answer though, we can resort to the old saying "it happens". It happened in the recently concluded Asia Cup against the Lankans, and it happened again here against the Scotland.
How this formidable bowling line up failed to defend the defendable might therefore be of some, if not immense, academic interest.
It is just unfortunate yet unavoidable that the bowlers do get a bad day or two. What is even more unfortunate is that there was no attempt to rescue the struggling pacers. Either the skipper failed to recognize the situation or he opted to take his chances by ignoring it. Rajin is still a learning skipper but experienced enough to be innovative instead of just following the script. He himself along with Ashraful is no stranger to bowling. With the Scottish batsmen unable to find any free ride from Rafique and Rana, more dosage of spin might have slowed them down a little.
And the ever-reliable Tapash paid the ultimate price in the final over. The no-ball was the killer I guess. With a game this close, bowlers should always be extremely careful to guard against nos and wides. The singles and fours might not have been preventable but the no-ball was.
The loss created quite a havoc among the fans. The defeat by no means was acceptable to them. There is nothing to blame them for. Playing against Canada and Scotland always has emotional components attached to it and as it seems, it will remain so for just a while longer.
However, was it really that depressing, I'd beg to differ. True, the win meant a lot for the Scots but it was just another practice match for us, nothing more nothing less.
Playing against Canada and Scotland always has emotional components attached to it and as it seems, it will remain so for just a while longer.
Like any other practice matches, we had to tryout a thing or two before the Champion's Trophy. Faisal got his lone break to justify his call up. Aftab and Nazmul were taking it slowly to show their biceps. Mahmud and Javed were given much needed rest to name just a few.
The loss was disappointing but never depressing. It was a close game and both teams can take credit for that, more so for the Scottish side understandably. Our bowlers could have done better. Was there any sign of overconfidence?
Shortcomings in our bowling might easily be looked into, as Razzak, Masri, Sharif and Talha are not far off. But it takes a lot to make similar improvements in the batting department. In this match, the tigers made a perfect batting display we can easily be proud of regardless of the outcome.
In the end, we have more positives to take home to than just the result of the match. Over the years, our upper order failed to live up to their real potential in spectacular displays of ever-familiar collapses. But for now, we can look forward to the young guns to permanently seal off the hemorrhage in near future. The loss was bitter but a sweet one, nonetheless.

Pioneer DVR-57H TiVo DVR/DVD Recorder
Photos by Tony Cordoza Modern consumer electronics is so modular in design and construction that you could almost invent a new component category using the old Chinese-restaurant formula: choose one technology from column A and another from column B. Sometimes you'll end up with the electronic equivalent of an inedible mess, like a portable CD player with component-video outputs. But surprisingly often the result will be potentially useful, and on rare occasions you'll get something like Pioneer's Elite DVR-57H, a 120-gigabyte (GB) TiVo hard-disk recorder (HDR) combined with a DVD-R/RW recorder. It's positively delicious!
KEY FEATURES • 120-GB hard-disk recorder with TiVo Basic service; upgradable to TiVo Plus • Basic DVD-R/RW recorder • Plays DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 formats • Progressive-scan output with Faroudja DCDi processing available for all signals
INPUTS/OUTPUTS two composite-video inputs and outputs; one S-video input, two outputs; one component video output (switchable between interlaced and progressive-scan); two stereo analog audio inputs and outputs; one optical digital audio output; antenna input and pass-through output; modem jack; USB port
DIMENSIONS 16 1/2 inches wide, 3 3/4 inches high, 15 3/8 inches deep
WEIGHT 22 pounds
PRICE $1,800 (non-Elite model with 80-GB hard drive, DVD-810H-S, $1,199); TiVo Plus, $12.95 a month or $299 for life of HDR
MANUFACTURER Pioneer Electronics USA, Dept. S&V, 2265 E. 220th St., Long Beach, CA 90810; www.pioneerburner.com; 800-421-1404
If you've used TiVo, you already know how its easy programmability can transform your TV viewing experience, gathering shows you really want to watch with little effort on your part. The addition of the DVD recorder makes that convenience permanent by letting you save shows that the TiVo would eventually have to erase as its hard-disk space gets used up.
The contributions here of the two systems are not equal - the recipe definitely leans towards TiVo. Once you've used the DVR-57H for a while, you'll find that it behaves like a TiVo recorder with a DVD recorder/player tacked on "for fun." The TiVo features have all appeared in previous products we've tested, and they operate the same way here - with the same fabulously easy-to-use graphical interface and the same audio and video quality. The DVD-57H comes with TiVo Basic service, which has only a three-day program guide and doesn't include some of the most convenient search and selection options. You'll almost certainly want to spring for TiVo Plus service, which is $12.95 a month, or $299 for the lifetime of the recorder.
In either case, you can record one program while watching another you previously recorded, you can pause live TV, and you can watch a program that's being recorded from any point earlier in the recording. TiVo's program guide is updated automatically via modem, so you need a phone connection. The Plus service covers two weeks and lets you select shows for recording by title, genre, actor, or keyword. And if you select a series, you can sign up for a Season Pass and have TiVo record all broadcasts or only first-run episodes.

With a movie pipeline clogged with "reboots," "reimaginings" and "retro tributes," we appreciate any film that tries to do something different. However, appreciation is not the same as enjoyment, as Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void" sadly proves.
After an opening title sequence designed specifically to eliminate any epileptics in your living room (Gaspar was clearly inspired by Japanese Seizure Robots), "Enter the Void" establishes its primary conceit - the entire movie is shot from the point of view of the main character. The audience is placed in the shoes of Oscar, a drug-dealing drifter currently living in Tokyo with his stripper sister, even after Oscar….mild spoiler but not really….is killed. You go from walking with him to floating through space and time with him as he checks in on the present and revisits the past.
Unfortunately, two things handcuff Noe. The first is that, in an apparent effort to capture Oscar's hallucinogen-tinged worldview, Noe shoots everything through a hazy gauze. So the audience ends up viewing the neon overkill of Tokyo through what appears to be a dirty windshield. Combine the visual mud with a stoner's idea of a "deep" script (that would be handcuff #2) and you end up feeling like you're watching a YouTube video shot by the guy in your dorm room with the wizard-shaped bong. "Enter the Void" is out to convince you that, like, death is the ultimate trip, man and, like, time is relative and, like, whoa…death and life are one in the same, and the Buddhists are totally on to something and….whoa….um….who's hungry? In short, it's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is.
Add to this heady mix a heaping dose of sex, Oedipal confusion, icky brother/sister closeness, and depressing trauma and you get a movie that you don't so much watch as endure. That's not to say "Enter the Void" is devoid of value - it will be dissected by film school cinematography classes for a long time - it's just not concerned with entertaining or engaging the audience.
The special features are also infuriating - click on "VFX" and you get a mostly silent montage of how some of the film's visual effects were achieved. Seeing the painstaking work put into the tiniest elements (as well as the almost invisible CG), you leave hoping that "Enter the Void" was just a dry run and that Noe truly has something mind-blowing planned as a follow-up. Until then, you can take a pass on "Void," unless you have a thesis paper on experimental film due or you have a living room full of epileptics who won't leave.
Home Video Review: "Enter the Void" is, Like, Totally Trippy, Man
With a movie pipeline clogged with "reboots," "reimaginings" and "retro tributes," we appreciate any film that tries to do something different. However, appreciation is not the same as enjoyment, as Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void" sadly proves.

From gurgling to the first few words: early language
Early language
At birth, your baby is not yet able to speak, but he can already communicate: through his gazes, his postures, his facial expressions and by crying – he uses all of these to express his feelings and interact with you. At this stage, there are no limits to his potential: he is naturally conditioned to acquire human language... and is able to pick up any one of the world's languages and learn how to pronounce every human sound. even more incredible is the fact that he can already distinguish between different languages on the basis of their melodies. Gradually, his language acquisition ability will become more specific and he will focus more on learning his mother tongue.
From his very first gaze to the first sentence he utters, the way you interact with your baby is of vital importance for developing his language faculties: you are the one who will give meaning to the sounds he produces, and you are the one who will make him want to repeat those sounds just for the pleasure of watching you react and respond to his requests. So it is very important that you talk to your baby as much as possible right from the start, and babble away with him: by providing him with the right kind of environment, you'll be giving him everything he needs to develop quickly and harmoniously.
Babies all learn how to talk at different ages. Some will already be saying several words after 12 months, whereas others still babble incomprehensibly at 2 years old. Go at your own child's rate of development! Stimulate and encourage him, but don't put any pressure on him: the higher your expectations, the greater the risk of your child withdrawing completely.
> Between 0 and 1 month: the beginning of communication
> 2 to 6 months: bursts of babbling
> 6 to 9 months: repeated syllables
> 9 to 12 months: the first words!
> Between 15 and 18 months: the enthusiasm to learn
> Between 18 and 24 months: sudden increase in vocabulary
> Around 3 years old: the language of an older child

Web games are hugely popular in China, and the vast majority of these games are Flash technology-based. According to Analysys International, the 2012 web game market will reach $1.2 billion USD with a growth of 50.13% compared to $830 million USD in 2011. With such a big market opportunity, China's game development community is also asking itself a number of questions: how to improve gaming R & D, marketing and operations? What is the latest technology and how can it be used to attract new players and improve retention? What are the new trends for browser-based games?
Starting in mid-April, Adobe's China evangelist team hosted the Flash Gaming Tour in Beijing (April 14), Shanghai (April 22) and Guangzhou (May 10). Almost 1000 developers, designers, operators, students, and teachers attended, representing over 400 gaming companies and 14 partners, including HP, Sohu, Baidu, China Joy, Epic Games, Gamegoo, Shanghai Terminus, Joyegame in Guangzhou, and Chongqing JinTian. Showcasing the latest developments in Stage 3D MMO game development in China, as well as peeks at future developments, the event also introduced Flash Player Premium Features to a gaming audience in China.
Among those new Stage 3D games, "The King of Fighter," developed by SNGO networking entertainment design, is quite stunning. This game is based on A3D, a Stage 3D game engine independently developed by SNGO. The live demonstration at the SNGO booth, highlighting the 3D effects within the game (including light effects, normal maps, and motion blur, and air twist) became a hot topic among the developers at the event. The game scenes are beautifully rendered in real time with exquisite details and smooth performance, including an Indian Buddhist temple, the ancient city of Suzhou, and European cathedrals, along with Xbox-style fight action, like strokes, kill, and slash. The game is expected to be available as a public beta sometime in June.
The positive feedback during the tour was fantastic, and I was excited to hear many developers state that they believe Adobe Stage 3D technology will bring a needed revolution to web-based games. I'm looking forward to 2012 as the year of 3D Flash web games in China, and to seeing more games like "The King of Fighter" taking advantage of this technology to deliver great gameplay.

Magline Recommends Injury Prevention Tips in Last 100 Yards of Supply Chain with Curb Ramps
Standish, MI, May 17, 2014 --(
)-- Magline, manufacturers of innovative lightweight route distribution solutions including ramps help reduce injuries during distribution during last 100 yards of supply chain. Magline recommended injury prevention tips for delivery drivers, such as making sure trucks have ramps and mechanical lifting aids, keeping loads close to the body, as well as avoiding twisting the body.
Employers can realize substantial cost increases when an employee is injured on the job. Costs escalate due to worker's compensation and other costs associated to injuries on the job. Magline recommended employers provide ramps and mechanical aids for all deliveries. This is especially important if employees are not familiar with customer's facilities. Employers can purchase or equip hand trucks with brakes; some brakes are available. Large deliveries may require more than one person to unload and make sure trucks are loaded in order of delivery.
Additional recommendations include turning with the feet, using both hands to distribute the weight evenly when lifting, and talking with loaders to be sure that deliveries are in the correct order.

Magline, Inc. (www.magliner.com) manufactures a complete line of innovative lightweight route distribution solutions under the Magliner brand.

Nats' Minor League numbers crunch, recap
MIAMI — The Nationals' season may not be going ideally so far — and that's being nice — but their farm system definitely had a good year.
Triple-A Columbus said goodbye to Cooper Stadium in grand style, as 16,777 were in attendance for its final game. Double-A Harrisburg finished off the season four games over .500 to accomplish its first winning season since 2002. Class A Potomac, of course, won it all by beating the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to take home the Carolina League title (pictured) — here's a link to a story about how that title relates to what Nationals manager Manny Acta went through in 1999. Class A Hagerstown improved by six games compared to last year's record. And the entire farm system has been stocked, reshelved and completely redone over and over again this year, as players went up the ladder at an incredible rate. The result: The Nationals have 16 players on their roster 25 years old or younger.
Ever since roster expasions beginning Sept. 1, Washington has called up 10 players. Here's a look at how they've done since that point:
Roger Bernadina (OF): .214 BA (3-for-14), 1 RBI, 3 R in seven games
Kory Casto (INF): .318 BA (7-for-22), 3 RBIs, 1 R in nine games
Tyler Clippard (RHP): hasn't played
Mike Hinckley (LHP): 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 Ks in 7 2/3 innings (eight appearances)
Shairon Martis (RHP): 0-2, 2.70 ERA in two starts
Luke Montz (C): 1-for-12, RBI, 2 BB
Mike O'Connor (LHP): hasn't played
Levale Speigner (RHP): 2 R, 5 H, 2 BB in 3 1/3 innings (four appearances)
Ryan Wagner (RHP): hasn't played
Lastly, let's take a look at those really young guys — as if those weren't young enough. Here's a look at how the Nationals' top nine Draft picks — first-round pick Aaron Crow went unsigned — performed in their first Minor League season:
LF Destin Hood (GCL): .256 BA, 14 RBIs in 25 games
SS Daniel Espinosa (A-): .328 BA, 4 RBIs in 19 games
LHP Graham Hicks (GCL): 0 R, 1 H, 2 Ks in 2 IP
C Adrian Nieto (GCL): .217 BA, 3 RBIs in eight games
RHP Paul Demny (GCL): 4-0, 2.50 ERA in 11 games (six starts)
C Daniel Killian (GCL): .189 BA, 1 HR, 28 RBIs in 40 games
LHP Ricardo Pecina (A-): 1-5, 3.78 ERA in 12 games (eight starts)
LF John Higley (GCL): .346 BA, 16 RBIs in 35 games
LHP Tom Milone (A-/A): 1-6, 3.51 ERA in 13 games (10 starts)
Double A player in trouble
Garrett Guzman, an outfielder for the Harrisburg Senators, is being charged with a misdemeanor count of corruption of minors, according to The Associated Press. Guzman allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old girl in late July. The 25-year-old lefty was originally drafted in the 10th round by the Twins in the 2001 Draft. In Double A this season, Guzman hit .274 with nine home runs and 54 RBIs. Read the full story here.

Beethoven and the Harpsichord
In 1783, twelve-year-old Beethoven became the "cembalist" (keyboard player) for the theater orchestra in Bonn. As assistant to Christian Gottlob Neefe, the chief organist in Bonn, the young Beethoven was responsible for taking over when Neefe was away and when he could not accompany. Beethoven biographer Alexander Thayer writes, "In those days, every orchestra was provided with a harpsichord or pianoforte, seated at which the director guided the performance, playing from the score. Here, then, was in part the origin of that marvelous power, with which in later years Beethoven astonished his contemporaries, of reading and playing the most difficult and involved scores at first sight."
Thayer suggests that Beethoven's earliest keyboard lessons as a child were on the pianoforte, but one of the few witnesses of these lessons only states that they were at the "Klavier" (the generic German word for "keyboard"). History has not recorded whether the Beethoven family had an early fortepiano, harpsichord, or clavichord at home.
Because the harpsichord was still very much in use during this period, many of the
publishers of Beethoven's early music for fortepiano marketed it for either instrument.
The title pages of Beethoven's earliest keyboard works read as follows:
1782: "Variations pour le Clavecin Sur une Marche de Mr, Dresler" (Variations for the Harpsichord on a March by Mr. Dres[s]ler), WoO 63, published in 1782
1782-83: "Drei Sonaten fürs Klavier" (Three Sonatas for Keyboard"), WoO 47, published in 1783
1783: "Rondo Allegretto," WoO 48, published in 1783
"Rondo Allegretto," WoO 49, published in 1783
1783: "un Concert pour le Clavecin ou Fortepiano," WoO 4, published in 1890, title on the solo keyboard part of the manuscript
1785: "trios quatuors p[o]ur le clave[c]in violino viola e Basso," WoO 36, published in 1828, title from the manuscript
Thus, the earliest printings and ms. of his keyboard works state that they are either for harpsichord, "Klavier" (keyboard), or fortepiano. In fact, Beethoven's keyboard works published during his First Period (which ends in 1802) frequently list the harpsichord as the first possible instrument (see the entries in bold below). This is a list of all of Beethoven's works with opus numbers for keyboard alone or with other instruments during the First Period:
Opus 1 trios, published in 1795: ""Pour le Piano-Forte Violin, et Violoncelle"
Opus 2 sonatas, published in 1795: "Pour le Clavecin ou Piano-Forte"
Opus 5 sonatas, published in 1797: "pour Le Clavecin ou Piano = Forte avec un Violoncelle"
Opus 6 sonata (four-hands), published in 1797: "Pour le Clavecin ou Forte-Piano"
Opus 7, published in 1797: "pour le Clavecin ou Piano-Forte"
Opus 10, published in 1798: "pour le Clavecin ou Piano Forte"
Opus 11, published in 1798: "pour le Piano-Forte avec un Clarinette ou Violon, et Violoncelle"
Opus 12 (violin and piano), published in 1798-99: "Per il Clavicembalo o Forte-Piano)
Opus 13 sonata, published in 1799: "Pour le Clavecin ou Piano-Forte"
Opus 14 sonatas, published in 1799: "pour le Piano-Forte"
Opus 15 (1st Concerto), published in 1801: "pour le Forte-Piano"
Opus 16 wind quintet, published in 1801: "pour le Forte-Piano avec …"
Opus 17 horn sonata, published in 1801: "pour le Forte-Piano avec …"
Opus 19 (2nd Concerto), published in 1801: "pour le Pianoforte"
Opus 22 sonata, published in 1802: "pour le Piano Forte"
Opus 23-24 violin sonatas, published in 1801: pour le Piano Forte avec …"
Opus 26 sonata, published in 1802: "pour le Clavecin ou Forte-Piano"
Opus 27 sonatas, published in 1802: "per il Clavicembalo o Piano-Forte"
Opus 28 sonata, published in 1802: "pour le Pianoforte"
All the remaining title pages for keyboard specify Pianoforte. It is surprising to read that the "Moonlight" Sonata was advertised as either for harpsichord or fortepiano since it takes full advantage of the fortepiano, but there is a commercial recording of the work on harpsichord.
Thus, by 1802-03, the pianoforte had replaced the harpsichord as the popular home keyboard instrument to such an extent that publishers no longer felt that listing the harpsichord on the title pages had any value.
Beethoven's teacher Neefe, however, wrote in 1787 (when Beethoven was 16) that the Elector of Bonn was spending a great amount of money on music, instruments, and virtuosi. He added, "The pianoforte is especially liked; there are here several Hammerclaviere by Stein of Augsburg, and other correspondingly good instruments." As a teenager, therefore, Beethoven probably had access to some of the finest fortepianos being built in Western Europe.
