Michael Dell is the founder of the computer company Dell, Inc. He created one of the most profitable computer companies in the world with annual sales of up to $50 billion American dollars. Dell has also become one of the wealthiest people in the world with a 4th place listing on the Forbes rich Americans list in 2005 with an estimated worth of $18 billion. Michael Saul Dell was born on the 23rd of February, 1965 in Houston to an orthodontist father and a mother that worked as a money manager. Dell was interested in computers from a very young age and was already pulling them apart at the age of 15. He attended the University of Texas with hopes of becoming a doctor but abandoned studies to start his own business at just 19 years of age. With just one thousand dollars in his pocket Dell started "PC's Limited" in 1984. From his university dorm room Dell started building and selling personal computers from stock computer parts. The idea that set the young entrepreneur apart from others was to sell directly to the customer, rather than going through a third party to sell his products. PC's Limited allowed the customer to customize their computer before it was custom built to their specifications. The prices could also be kept much lower than PC's Limited's competition as they had no stores to maintain or middlemen to pay commissions to. All computers were sold direct to the customer with the use of order forms, phone orders, and now Internet orders. In 1988 PC's Limited had a name change to "Dell Computer Corporation" and had an initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at roughly $80 million. By 1992 Dell Computer Corporation was listed on the Fortune 500 list of the five hundred largest companies in the world, making Michael Dell the youngest ever CEO to head a Fortune 500 company. The company continued to grow and expand dramatically year after year, eventually selling more c

Your Favourite Photo of 2008
Posted 19 December 2008 - 03:53 AM
The rules are pretty simple. Please post your favourite (not necessarily your best) underwater photo taken during 2008. And you can only post one image (although I should add that rule breaking has become something of a tradition too!).
Feel free to post why you like it and the kit you used, but it is not essential.

I hadn't been back for 10 years or so, so the whole experience was a lot of fun, and the result is so different from everything else I shot this year, it stands out as a quirky favourite from a very diverse year of photography.
It actually took two visits to shoot, because of the lack of sun in England. Taken with the D2x and 12-24mm. I actually built floats for my housing - so that I would not have to hold it up half out of the water. The lake is mainly inhabited by geese and my drysuit was not the sweetest smelling afterwards.

On top of that, during this dive, the rest of my dive group had either gotten separated or run low on air, and it was down to just me and one of the guides. After 50 minutes, down to 60bar, and pretty much done our safety stop, we came over a ridge and the guide turns around, points down and signals mola. There one sits getting cleaned, and I was lucky enough to snap off a few shots, and this was the best one.

Great idea Alex, 2008 saw me finally get the new digital rig in the water. This image sums up the new opportunity with the new equipment. After chasing these guys around the reef for 30+ years with a framer it was emmensely satisfying. My first shot with the 100mm and dual strobes. Taken in June at the Bonaire Shootout.
and while were at it the first shot with the Tokina 10-17 and the new rig
Thanks for all the help this year folks!

This one is my favorite, in part, because it is one of my best. I'm still at the stage where, when I get a good shot, it is mostly by accident. I couldn't believe that it was
- Actually in focus
- I didn't blow out the whites
- The composition worked
Taken with a point & shoot Oly 560. Either ambient light or internal flash. I forget. I know I didn't use my strobe because I have trouble aiming it for macro shots. It was taken in Wakatobi.

I would like to echo what Steve has said and that thank everyone who posts within these forums and are always happy to give advice. I am looking forward to another great year of banter, discussion, topical debate, ( no politics though Mr Bantin ) humour and more excellent shots from everyone.
I have only just entered the world of photography and most of my knowledge has come from you guys. When I see this forum topic I looked through a few hundred shots from a good years diving and could not decide which was my favourite. I had to pick one so I decided to go with this one. I have just had it published as a cover image and for me to achieve this, for myself it is amazing.
This was shot with a Canon 350D, Sea and Sea housed with twin YS90's Tokina 10-17mm fisheye
Canon 5D MK2 - Sea and Sea housed - 17-40L 100mm - Sigma 15mm FE - twin YS250 pro's and gadgets galore
Posted 19 December 2008 - 11:14 AM
The fish are Dolly Varden and coho salmon. They are in a plunge pool below a waterfall - source of the bubbles. I have shot at this location several times so had some idea of what to expect before leaving home (~ 10km away via a narrow dirt and gravel road that winds around a lake; pavement in this direction ends about 1 km from home) - so set up housing with 18mm. Fish here are too far away to use flash effectively. Camera was placed on the bottom where the depth was about 1m, fired by remote control, used AF.

22.07.2012 /
Lukas Wimmer of Austria emerged as the winner of Round 5 of the KTM European Junior Cup at Brno Czech Republic on Sunday and assumed control of the championship standings for these young riders all on KTM 690 Duke machines.
The race, run later than originally programmed was highly anticipated as five different riders had won the previous rounds.
Javi Orellana, winner at Aragon was on pole and made as good start but it was the young Austrian Wimmer who was first into the opening corner in front of Gaston Garcia of Spain followed by compatriot Orellana
. Adrian Minana crashed out spectacularly on the opening lap thankfully without injury.
As the race settled down over the next couple of laps the battle at the front intensified with six riders easing away from the chasing pack. Christian Vidal, Jean-Francois Demoulin and Stinius Viking Odegard all worked together to bridge the gap to leading trio. At the same time Wimmer and Orellana traded places at every opportunity as Demoulin eased into third.
Behind the leading six Sepp Scarcella had worked his way up to seventh just ahead of Artur Wielebski and round one winner Adrian Pasek who was back in the series after an injury.
Wielesbki and Federico Fazzina were handed a position drop penalty at the start of lap 4 while Tom Busch who finished second in last year's Junior Cup pulled in much to the disappointment of the German youngster who qualified in an impressive fifth on his KTM debut.
As the riders started the final lap, the battle had consolidated between the four lead riders but it was Wimmer who held off the late charging Gaston Garcia who in turn held off Orellana and Demoulin respectively.
Wimmer holds a slender eight points as the competition heads for Silverstone in the UK in two weekends time.
The KTM European Juniors Cup is held in conjunction with the World Superbike Championships and is designed to future tomorrow's racing talent.

This invaluable hardcover player reference for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game provides a wealth of new ideas and options for players, including six completely new 20-level character classes, expanded rules for the 11 core classes, innovative new feats and combat abilities, a wealth of fantastic equipment, dozens of new spells, and more! New Classes in the Advanced Players Guide include: The Alchemist, The Cavalier, The Inquisitor, The Oracle, The Summoner, and The Witch.
This book is exactly what I hoped it would be. It has many new options for existing character classes as well as new classes, feats, spells, etc. The core rules has a lot of options, but players love to have as many choices as possible so this is a great book to have at the table.
I ordered 4 books that were listed as brand new. All 4 arrived with damage to the covers. With that said, I am otherwise very happy with my purchase and will use overstock in the future. The books arrived within the expected time frame and I got them at a great price. I'd be quite upset though if I'd ordered them at full price to receive them damaged.

This series was definitely quality programming, although I could have done without all the droid-centric episodes - YAWN.
I am not usually one to post hand held footage from a convention or an event. I'll make an exception in this case. Solely because we have no idea when we will see this footage, again. A clip from Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 6 or the "Cancelled Season" premiered at Disney's Star Wars Weekend on opening day. The clip reveals that the tide has definitely turned for the Jedi. Enjoy!
This series was definitely quality programming, although I could have done without all the droid-centric episodes - YAWN.
The last 3 seasons were amazing, hope they air the last episodes and not just stick them with the Blu Ray of the 5th season.
My son and I always watched this together. I'm sad its done, but it had an ok ending. Not sure why they dropped it.
A: Each season of Clone Wars was produced by Lucas Film and contracted to be show on Cartoon Network, which is part of Time-Warner. Lucasfilm is now part of Disney Co. They claim they cancelled any remaining production and distribution of the final 2 seasons so they could focus on the upcoming sequels. It should be noted that season 6 is actually complete, as well as most of season 7.
I hope Disney releases these seasons like Netflix is doing with Arrested Development or at least direct to DVD. I enjoyed Clone Wars more when I would watch several episodes in a marathon and skip the commercials.
Muenster, any proof or new as to how come a complete 6th season is done and finished and will it ever air?
Is it safe to assume that this team will be working on the new Rebels show?
If Disney has released this footage it means maybe the sixth season will be released maybe on DVD, I really hope Disney gives closure, if it is money they want giving the fans a last season will definitely get them money, closure is all we ask.

Scrivener - A Book Review and A Contest!
I'm not the kind of gal who takes to reading a manual, there's just too many great books in the world for something so dry. And honestly, if I needed a manual to learn the basics then I will surely pass on the program, that much I've learned about myself. I like to learn hands on and quickly. This is why I started using Scrivener as my primary writing software program.
After having used Scrivener for about a year and not really venturing much further then the basics, I decided it was time to expand my knowledge. I purchased a couple of books to take my learning to the next level. Now, Scrivener comes with a 500 page manual, and while to some degree it might seem perfectly reasonable to use it then to purchase another book, it was is in my opinion not as wonderfully user friendly, like the program it was detailing. I'm ok with that because I found Scrivener For Dummies.
Now let's make something perfectly clear, anyone can use Scrivener and if you never looked at a manual you would be perfectly good to go. However, after passing by many of the features of Scrivener for over a year, I decided to take some time to go beyond the basics and get to know Scrivener better.
Scrivener for Dummies is written by Gwen Hernandez, and published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd. She began using the program in 2009 and writing about it on her blog, The Edited Life. Before she knew it she was writing a book to help her fellow writers. I purchased the book this past summer and immediately it became my desk reference for Scrivener.
This is how I used Gwen's book. I never sat down and read the book from cover to cover (Sorry Gwen). I got acquainted with the table of contents. Scrivener for Dummies is divided into 7 parts and 23 chapters making it very easy to zoom in on any given topic straight away. It also has a very complete index. I flipped through the book a couple times and got acquainted with the design and style of the book. I then flagged some chapters with particular elements of Scrivener that I knew interested me the most and I thought would definitely appeal to a family history writer. With Scrivener and Scrivener for Dummies open in front of me, I began learning one or two new things and started putting them into practice. In 10 minutes, I could find, read and utilize a feature of the Scrivener program.
I can't tell you how many times I remarked to myself "Cool, that's how you use that!"
There are so many hidden treasures in Scrivener and Scrivener for Dummies is a wonderful companion to help you uncover them with little effort and in the most efficient manner possible. The design of the book with it's bite-size manageable pieces of information make it the perfect reference manual.
Scrivener for Dummies has given me a more in-depth knowledge of the program that in turn allowed me to create the Scrivener for the Family History Writer Video series. The more I learned about Scrivener the more I knew it was a perfect fit for family historians. Gwen agrees with me and tells me genealogists make up a considerable portion of her Scrivener classes that she now offers online.
The Scrivener program is so affordable that I recommend spending a few extra dollars and picking up Scrivener For Dummies as your desk reference. On the other hand, you could win a free copy.
I'm giving all of my readers an opportunity to win a copy of Scrivener for Dummies. As an added bonus, Gwen is throwing in registration to her Scrivener online classes.
The winner of the book will receive a signed copy of Scrivener for Dummies from Gwen and a registration to Gwen's next 4 week session of Scrivener classes set to begin in 2013.
How to do you enter? Simple. In comments below, tell me how you are using Scrivener or plan to use Scrivener in your family history journey. What kinds of projects do you plan to use it for, a book, short stories, ProGen, articles, blog to book or anything else family history related or not. If you're shy, you can drop me an email with the same info at email@example.com.
Gwen will be checking into comments today so if you have any questions for her fire away!
I will enter all names into a hat and pull a winner on November 30th, at 7pm EST. The winner will be announced on the blog the following day. This contest is open to all Canadian and US residents.
That's it. Easy peasy.
Now explore Gwen's website, take a look at the book here or check out the Scrivener for Family History Writer Video Series. Really, what are you waiting for, with so many resources for Scrivener available to you, there's no need to hesitate, it's time to make Scrivener your newest family history writing tool.

I bought Scrivner some time ago, thinking it would help me write my family history story. I used it for a few writings, and imported my NanoWriMo 50,000 word story to it. Until Lynn posted her lessons, I still did not use it much. At the same time I finished scanning and transcribing 70 letters written by my GGGrandparents during the Civil War. The transcriptions were written in Scrivner . I finished the transcriptions last week. This week I have organized the outline using Scrivner. If I don't get the book written, I only have myself to blame. The outline is amazing. I realize that I can write in order, or whatever chapter I feel like writing and everything will stay just where I want it to be.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a lot of fun with Scrivener. So far I have used the program to write essay question answers, write short articles and even collect more extensive notes for a lengthier article (in progress). I have not yet used Scrivener for blog posts but see great potential there as well. I think the program will really shine on more extensive projects like a narrative 4 generation lineage, etc.
ReplyDeleteI bought Scrivner last year during the Family History Writing Challenge. I'm writing my family history and my goal is to have a book. Scrivener is great because I can split the screen when I'm rewriting a section, or if I want to refer to some background material. It's easy to go from section to section. I also write notes in the side column to remind me of additional research I need to do. I know I'm not using all the features and I want to learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteI bought Scrivener a few years ago and found it was oriented more towards the fiction writer in its instructions, if not in its utility. For me, it wasn't especially intuitive. I ended up losing interest in the book project I was working on and I never returned to Scrivener for anything else.
Now I'm going to be working on a book that needs a lot of organizing. It's a history of my mother's family, spurred by the fact that my great uncle was Sigmund Freud's butcher and his shop is now part of the Freud Museum in Vienna. In the blog that I created to prepare for the book, I've been going off on different tangents about meat and psychology as well as on larger issues of genealogy. I know that Scrivener now has a nonfiction component and I think it'll be a great tool for me to organize -- or at least keep track of -- all these disparate threads.Without Scrivener, I would not have been able to sort and resort all the information on my husband's family. I probably could have done it is Word but being able to see and rearrange what I have on the corkboard is extremely helpful. The book is almost done but now I have another family story to tell. Finding the information on the family is difficult. At least, the process on Scrivener is not.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about Scrivener and have tried to use it. I'm computer literate yet find myself stymied--I can't figure out why it's better than other word processing software. So the book I'm writing is being written elsewhere--but I'd still love to give Scrivener a chance.
ReplyDeleteRepliesKelly: When I first heard about Scrivener, I wondered why I would need anything more than Word too. What I love about it is the ability to write in chunks that make sense (scenes, chapter, etc), move those chunks around, write them in any order (instead of beginning to end), color code them by point-of-view, storyline, or setting, and store all my research and photos inside the project so I don't have to go looking for it elsewhere.
Scrivener takes a little getting used to, but most people think it's worth it once they figure it out. Either way, good luck with your book!Kelly, I agree with Gwen. Scrivener is so much more than a word processor, it really is a project management system. It's a place to brainstorm and organize and set goals and review research besides being a great word processor.

I thought I would use it for a novel and my family history story. Since I always have problems learning software (LOL), a book for Dummies (ME!) and some classes would help greatly!
ReplyDelete - Linda BoonNovember 14, 2012 at 11:26 AM
I purchased Scrivener after Lynn mentioned the program during the Family History Writing Challenge. Writing the Boon Family story is so much easier to organize as well as letting my writing flow. I really need to use the program functions better and would love to take Gwen's online course. Scrivener for Dummies sits on the corner of my writing space. Love it!
ReplyDelete I'm writing my master's thesis with Scrivener on comedy and Harold Lloyd. I love the way I can easily add references from research, ideas for paragraphs, and (re)organize by section and subsection. It is going to become my ally as I write my way through this monster of a thesis. Once that is in order, I have one or two scripts started that I would like to spend more time on.
I am so glad I found Scrivener, and I've only scratched the surface of what it can do.I actually started using Scrivener to write a historical fiction based on a member of my husband's family whose artifacts I have inherited. I could not have done so much with this piece without Scrivener to help me keep chronology and character in place. Also, as a historical work, I want the facts to be accurate to the time. Would love the book and the class. I re-did the tutorial this year and learned a few more ways to use this powerful tool.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fiction writer, but I live to read and am compelled to write, so I bought Scrivener a few months ago after being frustrated by every text editor, word processor, and page layout program available in the past 20 years. Scrivener fits my needs better than anything else so far; I'm using one project file to keep a daily journal and another as a 22 MB database of articles, writings, and correspondence by me and by others. I recently found a promising recipes template, so I may start using that soon.
I've already bought and read "Scrivener for Dummies," but I'll take that online class, thanks!I just got the trial version this month for NaNoWriMo and I'm already stuck. I mean stuck. So confused, and that is after reading the entire manual.
My first novel is autobiographical. My second is about the line in my family that has been traced to the Howland's and Dickenson's from the Mayflower. I have oodles of research to be compiled. I'm also working on a "how to" teach children about American History thought their own family tree.I am using Scrivener to write my dissertation in Native and Ethnic studies, where I trace the emergence of the Native mother in historical and popular texts and then through her relationship to haunting. My ancestor led the Modoc War in 1873 and was tried and hanged, and so was supposed to end our family, the myth of the disappearing Indian. I follow the Native women in my family who are largely absent from history through the 20th century. I use photographs, family stories and even star quilts to discuss their presence where there is only historical absence. LOVE Scrivener, it has made my life so much easier since I began using it, but still I do not understand so much about it and I am afraid to try things because I do not want to lose my hard work.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a perfect giveaway! I got Scrivener a couple months ago and am going to use it to write a historical fiction novel about my 5x great grandparents, who were pioneers in the early days of Kentucky. I'm still in the research phase at the moment, but having the dummies book and a class under my belt when I am ready to dive into writing would be AMAZING. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Scrivener for about 6 months for my family history blog. I have some very basic templates set up that help me capture ideas and allow me to see at a glance what stage a particular post is in. I really like it and would like to expand my use of it, I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface.
ReplyDeleteI bought Scrivener earlier this year and I love it. I have used it to write and publish two, short story collections and now I am writing a novella with it. In fact, a couple days ago I recommended it to a friend who is getting ready to start writing her first novel. While I love the program I'm sure there are many areas that I could utilize, but don't.
ReplyDeleteThis month I am attempting NaNoWriMo for the very first time, in large part because Scrivener gives me the confidence to attempt long-form writing for the first time.
ReplyDeleteRepliesbrilliantdisguise: That's great! Scrivener is perfect for NaNo. When I can't think of the right word or don't know a fact, I insert an annotation to remind me to go back to it later, and then keep writing. And I love that I can jot down a note if I get a scene or story idea, and then continue writing without worrying about losing my idea.
And of course, project targets help keep me on track. Good luck with NaNoWriMo!
Lynn (and Gwen by rebound) I have Scrivener but haven't used it a lot ... until I tripped on your blog. This gave me an idea to handle a file I received from a genealogy researcher about my mother's side of the family. It runs for hundreds of pages each packed with large families. It gets quite confusing. I thought I'd use the 'tack board' to unconfuse some ot the weird links in the file. Thanks for helping resolve a problem for me.
ReplyDeleteI found a great use for Scrivener. I'm a long-time member of Toastmasters and I realized Scrivener is perfect for crafting my speeches. I even have a template for speech preparation. Recently I was working more on Storytelling and I used Scrivener to write few storytelling speeches about my family. I still have more episodes from the life of my family, when I was a child, but also from recent times when my little daughter Ela was born and be sure I will use Scrivener to prepare speeches for my Toastmasters club. Scrivener is really great!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI love that idea Peter. Many genealogists speak at genealogy conferences so yet another way they can benefit from Scrivener. I also love that many writers end up on the speaking circuit, so Scrivener can be utilized to write their book and craft their speeches.Perfect!
DeletePeter: Speeches are a great use for Scrivener! I earned my CTM about 10 years ago, and I would have loved Scrivener for taking notes on future speech ideas, keeping an electronic record of them, organizing them by which book/level they were for (maybe color coding), and keeping track of the feedback. Plus, they're easily searchable.
Congrats on figuring out the templates. They're handy once you get the hang of them. :-)
I've been using Scrivener for a little more than a year. Heard about it during last years NANOWRIMO. I would LOVE the manual(s). I know I'm barely using the tip of the ice berg with all it can do. I just wish it had an app to use it on "the cloud" on the iPad/Tablet. Interesting to see how Peter is using it for speeches. I'd like to use it more and really organize some research material.
ReplyDeleteI am using Scrivener to write my honors in the major thesis for Medical anthropology. I am focused on PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). What does this have to do with family history? Well, my father is a Vietnam vet who has only in the past few years been diagnosed with PTSD, and yes, he is part of my research. Maybe my children will understand their missing grandfather, maybe not, but a part of the story will be there.
ReplyDeleteI am brand new to Scrivener, having just purchased it a couple of weeks ago. I took the plunge largely thanks to your helpful tutorials, Lynn (thank you!). I still have a big intimidation factor every time I look at it, and haven't used it much because I feel I need a big chunk of time to get past the learning curve. The Scrivener for Dummies book sounds like it would be ideal for getting past that. I would like to set up a project for my blog initially, another for articles, and then one that I hope will materialize into a book in time. I can't wait to begin using the program to its fullest!
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased Scrivener which was one application with a larger (30 application) bulk purchase offer by MacHeist. I have not yet used it, but after reading this article and subsequent comments I am now inspired!! I will look to use this program to document my life, as well as begin documenting the lives of my ancestors which I have been researching for so long. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded scrivener and worked my way through the easy-to-follow tutorial less than a week ago. I'd considered taking Gwen's course and added her book to my amazon wish list before coming across this kind offer. So count me in ☺.
My first impression was that it looked primitive, but that this could be a good thing for a first draft--then I discovered it's flexibility and worlds opened up for me. I can see why so many people swear by it.
I've never considered myself a writer (till now), but find myself with a story that needs to be to be told. I have more than ten times the material than I can use for a memoir stored in a mess of files; and think (and pray) that scrivener will help me to shape it all into a compelling narrative.
I've already been taking notes from Gwen. I love the thought of files for unused scenes and an outline.
My other goal for this year: to read 100 books for inspiration. (A good idea from Heather Sellars in "Chapter after Chapter.") I'm reading every well-written book I can while I find the words to write a story than nobody else can or will. A few Dummy Guides have made the list. And now Gwen's is one of them.
It's a funny thing. Shortly after downloading scrivener I thought "I feel like a real writer now." (If you are a real writer try not to shake you head too hard.) It's as if somebody handed me keys and said "Go and learn to learn." That's something else I have to do, but driving lessons can wait until after my book is published.I have decided to take the leap and begin using Scrivener for a digital memory preservation company I have started. It is Digital Foliage. The base service I offer is digitalizing family pictures, but I also do slideshow presentations and memorial booklets. After researching about Scrivener, I decided it would make my workflow a lot easier. This book would make it a lot easier to understand the ins and outs of the program.
ReplyDeleteI haven't purchased Scrivner yet. I downloaded a trial version a couple years ago when the Windows version was still in beta. I played with it a bit but it was very rudimentary at that point and I couldn't figure out how I could use it for my family history. I wasn't ready to write my family history then either. But I think 2013 may just be the year I tackle writing that tome and I intend to use Scrivner to do it! I sure could use that book and the classes!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried Scrivener yet but am very interested in using it. My initial plan is to write short stories about my family history and the journey of discovery. I have also been involved some cemetery research and I would like to compile the stories of those buried in a historical cemetery where much of my family is buried. Who were the individuals and families and what were their lives like before their death and burial in this beautiful cemetery.
Thanks for introducing me to Scrivener. It is on my Christmas Wish List!I happened upon your rather excellent YouTube video about Scrivener a few months back. After watching it, I downloaded the trial version and played around with it. My first thought was "where have you been all my life - as a student, a family historian, a society member, and a newbie/intermediate genealogist?"
I thought of all the times I could have used this "writing system" and decided that while it might have come late into my life (although I am definitely using Scrivener for keeping track of my society newsletter articles, my Guild of One-Name Studies' tutorials, my in-depth stories of my ancestors for my personal family history, and a little creative writing project on the side), the BIG BONUS was being able to share Scrivener with others. I introduced my sister (she is using it for her doctorate program), my nephew (he is using it for medical school projects) and my niece (she is using it for her law school projects)to Scrivener. As the old saying goes - and so on and so on! Now another three nieces are using it with (for 2) their undergraduate studies and (for 1) her applications to college! And finally over dinner at a recent wedding reception, I introduced Scrivener to a friend of the bride who happens to be an aspiring screenwriter.
So having found this program (thank you Scrivener for being in both Windows and Mac - I have friends of both persuasions), I am now passing it on and paying it forward. And all because I stumbled upon your video and thought - oh, this one is big! Thanks to Scrivener and you, I am now the cool sister, aunt and friend who is referred to as "the techie one."
I am still learning all the great things Scrivener can do. Just think what I could do with that book and the classes - oh the people I could reach. Thanks again for introducing me to Scrivener and for your great tutorials that have helped me get more out of the program.RepliesTessa, thank you for sharing your story and for sharing your enthusiasm about Scrivener. I feel the same way about this program. I stumbled upon it started using it and wonder how is it the entire world doesn't use this program. I love to share finds like this and like you, I want everyone to experience Scrivener. I'm sure sometimes to the point of driving people crazy. Something like my passion for genealogy. If you're using Scrivener you can't help but be cool, because it's cool!
I'm using Scrivener for my third novel. Drafting was a breeze. Now I'm in heavy revision mode. There is so much this product does that I've not figured out yet.
I'm hoping to figure out how to split the novel up into its elements to work on it as I revise. Do you know if there's a way to tag scenes based on primary pov and have just those scenes show on the screen?
Amy PfaffRepliesAmy, you can tag your scenes with keywords. Go through your manuscript and assign the tag primary pov to those scenes. To view which these scenes Open Project-Project Keywords, click on the keyword you want to search for in this case Primary POV, Scrivener will generate a list of scenes in the binder that contain your keyword. Hope this does the trick for you.
DeleteAmy: Lynn's suggestion will work. Another option is to tag them by Label, Status, or keyword, do a project search for that POV. That will give you a list too. (I have a short post on advanced searches here: http://gwenhernandez.com/2010/03/16/tech-tuesday-advanced-searches-in-scrivener/.)
You can even save the search as a collection. Then whenever you choose the collection it will dynamically update to include any new scenes in that POV (or remove those you've changed). Saved searching is in the same menu I talk about in the post I mentioned above.
Good luck with revisions!

More than two centuries after his death, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart remains one of the world's most celebrated - and enigmatic - figures, famed for his brilliant classical compositions as well as for his turbulent and tragic life. This spring, his story and musical legacy will be presented to Nashville audiences in a collaboration called Mozart in Music City.
With productions from the Nashville Opera, the Nashville Symphony, Blackbird Theater, the Lipscomb University Department of Music, and FiftyForward Music for Seniors, Middle Tennessee music and theatre audiences have much to look forward to in March and April.

In the Middle Ages, the rock wall of the mountain massif which surrounds the small village was regarded as a dangerous and cursed place where the devil did his worst. Accordingly, the place name of Les Diablerets also derives from the French 'le Diable', the devil. But no one need harbour any fears in Les Diablerets today, at the most some courage for the multitude of adventurous sports on offer. A varied, child-friendly programme of events and adjusted prices and infrastructure characterise the efforts that have been made to accommodate the needs of our younger guests.
Active guests in particular will get their money's worth in Les Diablerets. Skiing and snowboarding until well into the early summer in the glacier ski region of Glacier 3000 offer competition to a wide range of adventure sports: canyoning, hydro speed, paragliding, dirt monster biking (a cross between mountain biking and motorcycling), tyrolienne traversing, or the highest Alpine Coaster (toboggan run on tracks) at the Glacier 3000 mountain station. The «Indiana» fun obstacle course and fixed rope routes round off the activities. But traditional sports are certainly also on offer: walking (250 km of walking trails) and mountain biking. And excursions to the Aigle viticultural museum not far from Lake Geneva, the Bex salt mine in the lower Valais, or by postal bus across the Col du Pillon to the nearby sophisticated resort of Gstaad are always worthwhile.
- Glacier 3000 – snow fun, cross-country skiing and savouring the outstanding vista in the «Gastronamik» panorama restaurant.
- Aigle viticultural museum – the viticultural museum in the canton of Vaud presents nearly 2000 years of the history of viticulture.
- Bex salt works – salt mine with a gallery length of over 50 km. Part of the underground labyrinth can be visited on a tour.
- Gstaad-Saanenland – the neighbouring region in the Bernese Oberland is a meeting point for 'high society' as well as unadulterated nature.
- Narrow-guage railway network from Aigle and Bex - the lines to Leysin, Les Diablerets and Villars/Bretaye provide access to the region without a car of your own.
Top Events
- Nuit des Diables (Night of the Devil) – large summer festival with performances, sports activities, bars and music; the event where guests and locals meet one another (July).
- Festival International du Film Alpin (film festival about mountains and the environment) –
awards are presented to the best productions in the fields «freeride, extreme sports and peak performances» as well as to documentaries on the subjects of the environment and mountains (September).
- Festival of Swiss Folk Music – this event gives folk music fans the opportunity to listen to some of the finest folk orchestras in the country (October).

Hello there.
I'm trying to post on these forums and participate in discussions. But every post I make is answered with a 'has to be moderated' message. My posts don't show up until the next day, after which my posts may not even be seen anymore. As far as I know, none of my posts contain any hyperlinks.
Why is this forum so restrictive? I searched and found the first five posts will be moderated; I'm past that number and still get the message. It deters me in my effort to participate in discussions, and makes me wonder how many people are being scared away. Is this method very effective at fighting spam? If you considered one or two posts, does that mean the account would still be used for spamming? How are new users considered to stay here and participate if their posts have a one day delay? It's not very motivating and quite frankly, I'm frustrated.
I do understand spam is a concern and it needs to be addressed. I'm just hoping it can be done without affecting new users so severely?
Ok, thanks!
I too, may have posted a couple of links to explain my questions a bit better.
Not sure if my thread even went through or not, I did not see the message that my thread had to be approved.
keeping this to know. Btw its really tricky figuring out links, what about wordpress.com blogs, other forum posts and the ubiquotous lwn.net . There are lots of places where activity about GNU/Linux is shared about. It is tricky, hope you guys do work something out. The moderated stuff is annonying to say the least.
Update: Ok, this is hilarious. It seems to be not moderated here but heavily moderated in Desktop-Linux. http://phoronix.com/forums/forumdisp...-Desktop-Linux

My post in Open-Source ATI didn't have any links at all, but still got filtered.
@ Pyre Vulpimorph: You haven't yet made 5 posts, that's why it's still moderated.

Gallery: Haus im Haus: Hamburg's Historic Chamber of Commerce Renovated...
Originally, the plan was to insert a large 3-story module inside the large hall, but Benisch Architecten's plan called for a taller 5-story insert that would have a smaller footprint to exploit the hall's height and accentuate the space.
Benisch Architecten won 1st prize in an architecture competition to design a renovation for the historic Handelskamer, which serves as Hamburg's Chamber of Commerce. Originally, the plan was to insert a large 3-story module inside the large hall, but Benisch Architecten's plan called for a taller 5-story insert that would have a smaller footprint to exploit the hall's height and accentuate the space. Haus im Haus provides 1,000 square meters of additional space that includes a business start-up center, consultation rooms, exhibition space and meeting room facilities for members, guests and visitors. The uppermost level affords access to generous roof terraces and beautiful views out over the roofs of Hamburg through a band of arched clerestory windows.
Haus im Haus is more of a functional sculpture within the building than a renovation. The light and translucent materials contrast with the historic hall's ponderous stone bulk. Each floor seems to float above the rest, making the addition seem like an airy staircase to the heavens. (This impression is reinforced by an arched ceiling painted with stars.) The new addition is matched to the rest of the building, and a number of entrances and exits interweave into the building to improve circulation. Square LED modules are inserted into the ceilings throughout the new structure. Haus im Haus is said to be the first structure in the world lit by LEDs. The project was completed in 2007 and has since received a number of awards, including the 2008 Building of the Year award presented by the Architekten- und Ingenieurverein Hamburg e.V. and a 2012 WAN Adaptive Re-Use Award.

It will probably be Batman vs Superman giving Afleck top billing.
We have some news on Zach Snyder's Batman vs. Superman. It just may be the title, but we are not sure if it is 100% true. It should be considering one of the film's writers is stating it. David S. Goyer was speaking at a 75th Anniversary Superman panel and stated the following:
"So the next film we're making, we're already in pre-production, comes out in summer of 2015 and it's–we're actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, it's–that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that's happening."
So that removes "The World's Finest" from the possibilities as well as "Public Enemies". Whataculture.com is also reporting that Warner Brothers has registered the domain names SupermanVsBatman.com, BatmanVsSuperman.com, and BatmanVsSupermanMovie.com. A common practice by the studios and one that only makes sense. Personally, I can't believe someone had done it already.
So we have two possibilities for the first on screen meeting of Batman and Superman. I think the best marketing scheme would be to use both titles and feature first character predominantly on the ad campaign.
Sound off below Maniacs!
Follow Mania on Facebook and Twitter. If work has you blocked out, download our app on iTunes for your iPhone and iPad.
I don't like any of them...I would have prefered something like Superman the world finest...I know why they are doing it the way they are, you put Superman and Batman in the same title and it will draw upon both super hero's fans and bring in even bigger ticket sales but this is supposed to be a Superman movie first and foremost so let it be just that...
I agree with redvector. My money's on Batman vs. Superman. It's not only in order of star power, it's alphabetical as well.
Surprisingly, I still have not seen Man of Steel. I haven't seen the Bale Batman movies either. Between the two, I'd rather see Man of Steel, especially if it's leading into a shared universe. By the time BvS comes out, the Affleck "controversy" will have mostly faded and it'll open at #1.
I like the working title. I hope that a majority of the movie is played out that way. The likely ending will be the two of them defeating a common bad guy. Lex? There is evidence in the first movie to support that. I hope that he is more behind the sceens, he might be running the bad guy running things...
Personally I think they should call it "Namrepus Vs Namtab".
But hey... that's just me!
I'd have to know a little bit more about the plot before believing in a title that is suitable. Depending on how much they are actually 'against' eachother would defer between "Worlds Finest", "Public Enemies" or the VS version.
Unless that is the name of Lex Luthor's plan.. Batman vs. Superman
I am going to assume this is a "working title" and very general. If they put this little thought into the final title, as they appear to be doing with casting, that bodes ill for the movie as a whole. Agreed, World's Finest needs to be somewhere in there!
I was under the impression that it was a MoS sequal. Batmans name does not need to be in the title at all.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one bone in your back (vertebra) slides forward over the bone below it. It most often occurs in the lower spine (lumbosacral area). In some cases, this may lead to your spinal cord or nerve roots being squeezed. This can cause back pain and numbness or weakness in one or both legs. In rare cases, it can also lead to losing control over your bladder or bowels. See a doctor right away if you begin losing bladder or bowel control.
Sometimes when a vertebra slips out of place, you may have no symptoms at all or no symptoms until years later. Then, you may have pain in your low back or buttock. Muscles in your leg may feel tight or weak. You may even limp.
The bones in your spine come together at several small joints that keep the bones lined up while still allowing them to move. Spondylolisthesis is caused by a problem with one or more of these small joints that allows one bone to move out of line.
Spondylolisthesis may be caused by any of a number of problems with the small joints in your back. You could have:
Spondylolisthesis affects children and teens involved in sports. Some sports, such as gymnastics or weight lifting, can overuse back bones to the point of causing stress fractures in vertebrae, which can result in spondylolisthesis.
Older adults can develop spondylolisthesis, because wear and tear on the back leads to stress fractures. It can also occur without stress fractures when the disc and joints are worn down and slip out of place.
Symptoms of spondylolisthesis may include:
Sometimes spondylolisthesis causes no symptoms at all.
Your doctor will look at X-rays of your back if he or she suspects you have spondylolisthesis. X-rays will show if any of the vertebrae in your back have fractures or cracks and have slipped out of place. You could also have a CT scan or an MRI to pinpoint the damage and help guide treatment.
Treatment for spondylolisthesis begins with stopping any physical activity that may have led to vertebrae damage. To help relieve pain, take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen (such as Advil) or naproxen (such as Aleve). Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because of the risk of Reye syndrome, a serious illness. Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) can also help with pain.
Doctors often suggest physical therapy to build up stomach and back muscles (core strengthening). In overweight people, weight loss may also help.
When pain is extreme or bones continue to move, or if there is nerve root or spinal cord damage related to the spondylolisthesis, surgery can sometimes help. Surgery may be done to remove bone or other tissue to take pressure off the spinal cord or nerves (decompression). Or surgery may be done to fuse the bones in position. Sometimes both decompression and fusion are done during the same surgery. After any of these surgeries, you may need to wear a cast or back brace for a while. Later, rehabilitation therapy will help make your muscles stronger and movement easier.

A man wanted for allegedly ramming a police cruiser in Southern California, injuring an officer, was arrested Sunday afternoon in Nevada County by the U.S. Marshals.
Federal agents had been looking for Andrew Christian Stewart, 25, since a March 3 incident in Buena Park.
A Buena Park Police officer was in a vehicle pursuit with a stolen vehicle that Stewart was allegedly driving. During the pursuit, the vehicle driven by Stewart ended up on a dead-end street.
Stewart, having nowhere to go, turned the vehicle around and allegedly accelerated at the officer, who was exiting his police cruiser. The officer jumped back into the patrol vehicle, and Stewart allegedly rammed the driver's side door of the vehicle, slightly injuring the officer. The officer was able to continue following Stewart; the stolen vehicle was found a short time later, but Stewart had vanished. The officer was later transported and released at a local area hospital with minor injuries.
According to the Buena Park Police Department, Stewart was a known narcotics user and, during the course of this investigation, had been arrested two months earlier by Orange Police officers for a weapons offense. During the time of that arrest, he allegedly was in possession of a loaded firearm.
The U.S. Marshals adopted the case to help locate and arrest Stewart, said Marshal Frank Newsom. The fugitive task force's Los Angeles Division received information that Stewart might have fled to Nevada County to hide out, and that information was passed on to the Sacramento division to help locate Stewart.
Buena Park Police detectives said they had no idea why Stewart chose to flee to Nevada County; Newsom speculated it was due to the remoteness of the area.
"He might have thought he'd be safe up in the hills," Newsom said.
Investigators followed up leads and conducted surveillance in the Nevada County area, then received a tip on the whereabouts, Newsom said.
Deputy U.S. Marshals, Nevada County Sheriff's deputies and a California Highway Patrol K-9 unit went to a residence on Cone Tree Trail, off Squirrel Creek Road Sunday. The residence was surrounded, and two women exited, but Stewart failed to surrender.
Deputy U.S. Marshals and Task Force Officers entered the residence with a CHP police K-9 to search for Stewart. Shortly into the search, the K-9 alerted to someone hiding in a dirt hole in the basement of the residence. The police K-9 was used to apprehend Stewart, and he was taken into custody without further incident.
Stewart was taken to a local hospital, and after being cleared, he was booked into the Nevada County Jail to await extradition to Southern California. He was being held in lieu of $70,000 bail.

Public transport is poor everywhere but the city centre, so most visitors hire a car, particularly if planning excursions from the city. Driving can be confusing; however, experienced drivers should cope if they have a GPS. For trips within the city or to the Atlantic beaches minibus taxis are cheap and convenient and can be hailed by adventurous travellers anywhere along their route, but the vehicles are often in bad condition and the driving can be appalling. Passengers should expect to pay around ZAR 7 for most journeys within the city, but are cautioned against getting into an empty minibus. The new MyCiti buses are safe and reliable, with increasing reach in the city; however, passengers must purchase a card from a depot before riding. Tourists are advised to avoid the trains, with the exception of the Simon's Town line, which runs past Muizenberg and along the stunning False Bay coast. Pick pocketing is rife and there have been several attacks on passengers. Taxis are expensive but are a good option at night for those without a car. Public transport should not be taken after dark and the outlying township areas should be avoided at all costs unless on an organised tour.
Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Round, three-pin plugs are standard.
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into 100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards are widely accepted. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs, as con artists are known to operate there. All commercial banks will exchange foreign currency.
The international access code for South Africa is +27. GSM mobile phone networks providing 900 and 1800 frequencies serve the country, and there are roaming agreements with most international mobile operators. Mobile service providers offer very cheap 'pay-as-you-go' SIM cards, which are a good option for visitors staying for some time. Internet cafes are available. Card and coin operated pay phones are also widespread.
Emergencies: 10111 (Police); 10177 (Ambulance)
The MyCiti bus is the quickest and cheapest option for getting into the city, with an express to the city centre costing about ZAR 65 in addition to the once off ZAR 35 for a MyCiti card. Door-to-door minibus services are available for the journey to the city, taking approximately half an hour. Many hotels operate courtesy buses and a 24-hour backpacker bus is available hourly to many hostels.
Car rental companies include Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar and Tempest.
A taxi to the centre of Cape Town takes approximately 30 minutes and the cost may vary depending on the time of day and number of passengers, generally amounting to between ZAR 150 and ZAR 250, with fares up to 50 percent more at night. Only Touch Down Taxis, the authorised airport taxi company, is allowed to operate from the airport.
ATMs, bars, restaurants and currency exchange facilities are available throughout the airport. There are several shops, including duty-free in the International Departures section. A VAT refund service is available by the International check in desk. Hotel reservations and tourist information are also available.
There is short and long-term parking in a multilevel parking garage connected to the terminal. Fees range from ZAR 12 for the first hour in the cheapest parking area to a minimum charge of ZAR 635 (including five days of parking) in the long-term parking area. There is also a special pick-up area that offers 30 minutes' free parking.
There are several pay-as-you-go wifi hotspots in the airport.
