We've published two Italian books at Open Letter—Aracoeli by Elsa Morante, translated by William Weaver, and more recently, This Is the Garden by Giulio Mozzi, translated by Elizabeth Harris.
Since we've already posted about Weaver today, it only seems appropriate that we should write up this interview between Aaron Westerman and Elizabeth Harris.
AARON WESTERMAN: What's your particular process like and is it ever difficult to separate the way you feel about a piece when you read it from the actual work of translating it for another audience?
ELIZABETH HARRIS: My process of translating is ridiculously slow and perhaps reflects the fact that I don't earn my living at translating. Up until only a few years ago, I didn't have any deadlines, either, because I'd chosen the works and had no publishers for them (this was the case with the Rigoni Stern and also with Mozzi's This Is the Garden). So I could take my time. And I definitely did. Now I actually have a contract for the Tabucchi and a deadline, but I'm still very slow. A good workday for me will be an eight-hour session starting at around eight in the morning. I'll take a look back at what I translated in the previous few days, do some revising of that, and then move on to the new material (this is with a novel; if I'm translating a story, I'll start from the beginning of the story before moving on to new work). I might translate two pages or so a day. This is too slow—I know it. But what I come up with isn't rough; it's worked and reworked, has gone through numerous drafts. And then, of course, I revise it yet again when I get started the next day, as I ease myself back into the book. Perhaps it would be better to get through a very rough draft—skip over the tough stuff, just keep going, and then go back. But for me the real pleasure of translating is finding a voice for the work and really laboring over the nuances of the sentences, and creating the piece's characters, its imagery, and so on. If I were to rush through in a very rough draft, I just wouldn't get the same pleasure out of the work—I don't think I could work that way, and lucky for me, I don't have to.
As for the second part of your question about reading the text versus translating it, I think you might be asking if I sometimes read something that I don't like but have to translate anyway; the answer, so far, is no. I have had the experience, however, of reading things that have disturbed me and then translating them: disgusting moments in a text, sad passages—I recently translated the suicide of a character. My goal with these passages is to recreate the upsetting experience that's there in the original. Is that upsetting for me? Absolutely. But it's exciting, too, and tremendously moving.
Your question has got me thinking about how translators approach reading the original text. I've heard some translators say that they don't read a work ahead of time; they read it as they translate, perhaps because they find there's a freshness to the prose if they're discovering it along the way. Other translators read a book carefully ahead of time, take notes, get through to the end so they know how the entire book informs all its parts. I think I might fall somewhere in between. I read the book I'm going to translate ahead of time, but, honestly, until I'm translating the book, I'm not really reading it at all. Let me explain. Some say that translation is the closest form of reading. But the act of translating, of writing a text as you read a text, is much more than reading. It involves going over every last nuance of the original, down to the punctuation. It's more like swallowing the book. I don't feel that I really know a book until I'm actually translating it. I might know what happens in the work, the basics of the plot and character, but I only discover the book, its voice, its music, its characters, its meaning, as I'm creating the book in English.
[. . .]
AARON WESTERMAN: Mozzi's writing has been described as "crisp and straightforward" (Kirkus). Did his particular style and use of language help or hinder the translation process in any way?
ELIZABETH HARRIS: That Kirkus Review quote is something to linger on. The reviewer attributes this "crisp and straightforward" style to Mozzi. But the collection is in English, and I'm the one who wrote it in English. So the style isn't Mozzi's. It's my interpretation of Mozzi. I took what I found in the Italian and interpreted it, created a style in English. Really, when a reviewer comments on style in a translated book, he or she shouldn't just refer to the author; that author has been interpreted and rewritten by a translator, so the "style" is now the work of two authors: the original writer and the translator. As for your question: Mozzi's original style is what made me want to translate the book in the first place. Did his style hinder the translation process? His style was challenging because it was so beautiful and precise, and so I wanted to get it right. I hope I did.
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

You Can Never Go Too Far.
In the tradition of Urban Legends and Final Destination, Donnie Darko is an edgy, psychological thriller about a suburban teen coming face-to-face with his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star-filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high-school student visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past -- and deadly predictions for the future. This "excitingly original" (Entertainment Weekly) nail-biter will keep you on the edge of your seat until the mind-bending climax. |
"...a deliriously subtle exploration of storytelling possibilities, and a deliciously wry teen-pic to boot. Brilliant. David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor
"As emotionally rich as it is intellectually demanding. Jean Oppenheimer, New Times
"Kelly is a supple and courageous storyteller, boldly free-associating as he mixes parody and satire with earnest psychodrama... Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
"The nerviest, oddest, most outlandish and idiosyncratic American indie debut since "Buffalo 66," Richard Kelly's "Donnie Darko" defies description. Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz
Editor's Note
Writer-director Richard Kelly's bold debut film is a social satire, a dark comedy, a science fiction time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive, narcoleptic, gun-toting, sex-crazed, teenaged arsonist: Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal). DONNIE DARKO is not your typical teen comedy. But, like GHOST WORLD and RUSHMORE, it uses the trappings of the teen comedy as the entry point for a subversive and trenchant (and also wonderfully entertaining) look at American life. The difference between those films and DONNIE DARKO is that Donnie is an unlikely hero who just might save the world. It's October 1988, in the Virginia suburb of Middlesex. When Frank, a grotesque giant bunny (possibly imaginary), leads Donnie out of his house minutes before a plane smashes through his roof, he not only saves Donnie's life but also warns Donnie that the world is about to end. Over the next few weeks, Donnie falls in love with Gretchen (Jena Malone) and tries to figure out what his life means. Kelly's film perfectly captures the unease that is quietly scratching under the surface of suburban late 1980s life. Gyllenhaal leads an exceptional cast, bringing Kelly's twisted but humane vision to life. An exceptional performance is given by Mary McDonnell (PASSION FISH) as Donnie's mother.

"The Art Of Mourning is about a gunslinger who wants out of his 'deviant' lifestyle, and is trying to settle down with his wife and kids, but the people above him don't want to lose their best gun. So they murder his kids, rape and hang his wife, and leave them for dead on the porch of his burnt-down ranch. Now this torn man with nothing left, has to decide whether to come to terms with the consequences of a life that he chose. Or take revenge on the men that took everything from him. Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia with director Rob Cantin, the video combines close-up performance footage of All Hail The Yeti cut into a gritty, Western movie storyline chock full of old-school debauchery, brutal gunfights and gory head-shots utilizing actual .45 revolvers, a full-on lynching and all kinds of high-action entertainment!"
Stated All Hail The Yeti vocalist Connor Garritty on the video's inception and creation: "Rob and I have been friends for many years and we share a love for the Old West and the gunfighters of the late 1800's. We have done a couple paranormal investigations of hot spots like tombstone's birdcage theater, and Bisbee Arizona, trying to get some sort of glimpse of what life would have been like back then. We had a blast making this clip and this is just the beginning for us. We are already in talks about the next one. With these ventures you learn new things every time, and each moment becomes a memory. That is the most important thing to us!" More...

Laconic Going On Indefinite Hiatus
Vocalist Danny Brian of Laconic has issued the following announcement about the band going on indefinite hiatus:
"Hey everyone. As you may have noticed, our page has been inactive for quite awhile after our last show in June. Some of you may be wondering whats going on with us, some of you may not be. Either way, its time to fill everyone in on whats been happening. The truth is, we consider our fans our family and friends, and you deserve to know whats going on with Laconic, so first off, we apologize for keeping you in the dark.
"Now heres the deal: Laconic has been playing music as a band for over 10 years. We've accomplished alot as a band, and we have done things other bands can only dream about. We've been able to live out fantasies that all of us have been dreaming of since we were children.
"I dont want to drag this out in anyway or waste anyones time, but the short and skinny is that, after all this time, after 10 years, after thousands and thousands of dollars, after countless hours, being involved in a failed industry, failed friendships, failed relationships, missing out on family time, all of those things combined, has made us step back and realize that, for some of us, this isnt the life we choose to live anymore.
"What people need to realize, is that being in a band that you run as a business is not necessarily fun. The only part of being in an established band thats fun is actually playing the music. But even playing one show requires months of planning, ticket selling, advertising, marketing, promoting, traveling, missing work, etc, etc. It became old after 10 years, and for some of us, have realized that there are more important things in life.

Soilwork To Record New Album
Swedish melodic metal maestros Soilwork will enter the studio on August 23rd to begin recording the follow-up to 2010 release "The Panic Broadcast" (reviewed here). In the producer seat this time will be none other than Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth). The new album, entitled "The Living Infinite," will also mark the recording debut of long-time touring guitarist David Andersson (Night Flight Orchestra).
"It's been a pretty long time coming, but as we speak I'm sitting here smiling my ass off listening to the demos that will forge into The Living Infinite," commented the group's towering vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid. "I've been feeling pretty damn restless from this break to be honest with you, therefore it is with great excitement that I've approached this new album. As soon as we started working on songs in March, all my focus and energy went into building this new beast. We're finished writing songs and I'm currently laying down demo vocals and I'm having a blast. I feel very inspired.
"Around the time that we released The Panic Broadcast, I moved into a house by the ocean in a tiny fisherman's village. The ocean has given me so much inspiration and raised a lot of existential questions, which will inspire a lot of the lyrics on The Living Infinite, the words Jacques Cousteau used to describe the ocean. Pretentious? Hell yes, but in the most typical Soilwork manner, with the right intensity, dynamics and melodies to back it up and make it real. I can't wait to team up with the rest of the guys and start putting this album on tape, together with the amazing producer Jens Bogren!" More...

Cradle Of Filth Unveils New Album Artwork
Cradle of Filth has revealed the cover art for its upcoming 10th studio album, "The Manticore and Other Horrors," due out October 30th in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. Artwork comes courtesy of Matthew Vickerstaff of Darkwaveart and can be viewed below. The following press release was issued about the album:
"Recorded in eight weeks at both Springvale and Grindstone studios (where it was also mixed by Scott Atkins), Suffolk, the album is a testament to the longevity of The 'Filth, as not only does it reek of Cradle's (feared or revered) brand of delicious metal vamperotica, but this thoroughly modern album places the band firmly in fresh killing fields anew.
"The Manticore and Other Horrors itself possesses an altogether new atmosphere for the band, incorporating a heavier, faster NWOBBM punk vibe that is both current and cruel, blended with ornate orchestration and the quirky immediateness of 2000's Midian opus. The album's title can be likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on monsters - personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities to blame but a few."
Commented the band's infamous front man, Dani Filth, "This is our 10th commandment in metal. We have diversified and kept alive the spirit of this band and breathed it into something that I can proudly say, slays like an absolute motherf**ker. The Manticore is coming… Long live the filth!" More...

Commented guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie: "Looks like we are hooking up with our old time friend and film director Patric. As you probably know or don't know, he did most of our videos, and each and every one has been outstanding to us.
"This time around we'll be shooting the video in an old factory (surprise surprise), to create a cold harsh uncompromising type of atmosphere that won't even melt such a warm melodic song as 'I've Been You.' We are super excited for the video shoot, and can't wait to see the final result! Keep an eye out for this space!"

Following up a self-titled debut album on Hells Headbangers, Ohio death-thrash cult Crucified Mortals present a video for metallic horror hymn "The Late Night Butcher." Check out the clip below. The following press release was also issued about the video:
"A gruesome tale of an entrepreneur gaining his fortune on the success of selling human meat to unknowingly cannibalistic consumers, 'The Late Night Butcher' will be accompanied by another new song, 'Covet,' and will both be available on a split 7" EP with Czech Republic's young thrash band Radiolokator from Doomentia Records early fall! The video for Crucified Mortals' 'The Late Night Butcher' can be viewed in all its gory detail below.
"Released during March 2011 through Hells Headbangers, the self-titled debut of Crucified Mortals came ten years after a prolific stream of EPs and demos. Comprising 11 tales of horror transcribed into metallic hymns, Crucified Mortals continued the band's haunting style with their best tracks to date. The record compiles a diverse range of tracks which satisfies the ear's craving for speed, heavy and memorable riffing complemented by harsh, angry vocals and pounding drums. A truly unique style of thrash and death metal, this self-titled album combines the elements of both genres to create its own appalling sound, and found favor across the international underground. With a new lineup in tow, Crucified Mortals will continue their metal onslaught into 2013 and beyond...the grave!" More...

NASA's 2013 budget boosts manned space, reduces Mars BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: February 13, 2012 The Obama administration is requesting $17.7 billion for NASA in its fiscal 2013 budget -- down slightly from 2012 levels -- doubling the amount spent on development of new commercial manned spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station and giving a substantial boost to the delayed and over-budget successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Putting an optimistic spin on the numbers, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said "it's a $17.7 billion blueprint for NASA and the nation to embark on an ambitious plan of space exploration that will take us farther into the solar system than we've ever gone." "Despite a constrained fiscal environment, this budget continues to aggressively implement the space exploration program agreed to by the president and a bi-partisan majority in Congress." The budget request represents the opening round in the administration's annual negotiations with Congress over federal spending and while the total for NASA may remain relatively constant, the emphasis given to various programs -- and how much money they will receive -- likely will change in the months ahead. As it now stands, nearly $3 billion would go to International Space Station operations, including $1.3 billion for crew and cargo transportation. That figure includes the cost of launching U.S. and partner astronauts on Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Some $830 million is budgeted for the administration's ongoing drive to develop private-sector spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the space station and to end the agency's post-shuttle reliance on the Russians. That is roughy what the administration requested in fiscal 2012, but Congress cut that figure in half, to $406 million, during budget negotiations. How the commercial space initiative will fare this time around remains to be seen. NASA's fiscal 2013 budget includes $1.88 billion for ongoing work to develop a new heavy-lift booster and ground systems, along with another $1 billion for continued development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle that will be used for eventual missions to deep space targets ranging from nearby asteroids in the mid 2020s to the environs of Mars in the mid 2030s. The costly James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's follow on to the Hubble Space Telescope, would receive $628 million in 2013, a $109 million increase over 2012 levels, while Earth and solar science missions would receive $1.8 billion and $647 million respectively, both reflecting slightly increased spending. But the president's 2013 budget proposal reduces the scope of NASA's Mars exploration program, calling proposed joint missions with the European Space Agency "unaffordable." Overall, the budget would reduce funding for planetary science from $1.5 billion to $1.2 billion with additional reductions expected through 2017. If approved, the near-term impact would be to force NASA to back out of a 2008 agreement with the European Space Agency to share the costs of two ambitious Mars missions known as ExoMars, which called for launch of an orbiter in 2016 and two rovers in 2018. Along with searching for signs of past or present life on the red planet, the missions also would have tested technologies needed for a long-sought sample return mission. "Tough choices had to be made," Bolden said. "This means we will not be moving forward with the planned 2016 an 2018 ExoMars mission that we had been exploring with the European Space Agency. Instead, we'll develop an integrated strategy to ensure the next steps in Mars exploration will support science as well as human exploration goals and potentially take advantage of the 2018 and 2020 exploration windows." Bolden said NASA would focus on "medium-class" robotic missions to Mars, avoiding for now more expensive showcase missions like ExoMars and the Mars Science Laboratory, current en route to the red planet. Bill Nye, chairman of the Planetary Society, said the "priorities reflected in this budget would take us down the wrong path." "Science is the part of NASA that's actually conducting interesting and scientifically important missions," he said in a statement. "Spacecraft sent to Mars, Saturn, Mercury, the Moon, comets and asteroids have been making incredible discoveries, with more to come from recent launches to Jupiter, the Moon and Mars. The country needs more of these robotic space exploration missions, not less." Ed Weiler, the architect of the current Mars exploration program, retired as NASA's associate administrator of space science last September, telling Science Magazine he was frustrated by on-going battles with the Office of Management and Budget. "To me, it's bizarro world," he said an interview with CBS News late last week. "Why would you do this? Theoretically, all agencies work for the same president, right? The President of the United States, President Obama, declared Mars to be the ultimate destination for human exploration. Obviously, before you send humans to the vicinity of Mars or even to land on Mars, you want to know as much about the planet as you possibly can. ... You need a sample return mission. The president also established a space policy a few years ago which had the concept of encouraging all agencies to have more and more foreign collaboration, to share the costs and get more for the same bucks. "Two years ago, because of budget cuts in the Mars program, I had to appeal to Europe to merge our programs. ... That process took two long years of very delicate negotiations. We thought we were following the president's space policy exactly. Congressional reaction was very positive about our activities. You put those factors in place and you have to ask, why single out Mars? I don't have an answer." One obvious reason is the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's ambitious successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The observatory's cost has climbed steadily in recent years, primarily due to its technical complexity and management miscues. In 2010, NASA ordered a major management shuffle after concluding another $1.5 billion would be needed to finish the project. The telescope is now expected to cost some $6.5 billion and not be ready for flight until around 2018, some five years later than hoped. Weiler supports the JWST -- he holds a doctorate in astrophysics and was project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope before he moved into senior management -- but he believes the Mars program is being forced to bear an unfair burden. Over the past four decades, Weiler said, "this country has developed unique capabilities to do something no other country on Earth has been able to do so far, and that is land spacecraft repeatedly on a planet many consider the most interesting, the most Earth-like planet in the solar system and the most likely place life could have existed or may even exist today." "So, you develop a capability nobody else has, the so-called EDL capability -- entry, descent and landing -- that took a long time, that took decades. If you let that die, you don't just go out to K-Mart and hire new people to do it again." Scott Hubbard, a planetary scientist who led NASA's efforts to recover from two Mars failures in 1999, told The Washington Post the proposed ExoMars cancellation is "a scientific tragedy and a national embarrassment." But Paul E. Damphousse, executive director of the National Space Society, said NASA's budget was a reflection of the fiscal realities faced by all federal agencies. "This budget for NASA reflects the realities we're unfortunately now facing: 'flat is the new up,' and, while continuing to advocate for increased funding, we'll have to work hard with what we have to achieve our goals," he said in a statement. "That being said, we will push the administration, Congress, and NASA to meet these goals. The programs of record must come in on schedule and on budget; support for commercial spaceflight must be unwavering; and our Mars program, while undergoing restructuring, must still strive to make upcoming launch windows with relevant missions." |

Working with video files, especially editing them, is a task that requires a specialized application that can provide all the tools one needs. Among the software applications of this kind you can find VideoPad Video Editor.
The interface of this utility is divided into several parts (e.g. Media List, Effects, Transitions, Files, Clips, Video Track, Audio Track, Overlay Track), which may make everything seem a little hard to operate.
You can capture video from a camcorder or another device like a webcam or a TV capture card, and once you have added files and sequence clips to the queue, you can start editing them.
So, you can select position for the new clip (at slider's position, to the timeline's start or end point), add blank slides and overlays, modify media in an external editor, change playback speed and stabilize video with the Deshaker filter.
You can also create bookmarks and subtitles, import and export subtitles, select Chrome Key color, save video in the "Stereoscopic 3D" output format, apply audio effects (e.g. amplify, chorus, compressor, distortion, flanger, reverb), as well as record a narration.
Furthermore, you can apply various video effects (e.g. brightness, crop, edge detection, sepia, temperature, posterize, hue) and transitions (e.g. cross fade, reveal, split, fan, circle, diamond).
The program comes with a well-drawn help file and video tutorials while the system resource usage is moderate. It may lag sometimes between commands, but overall, VideoPad Video Editor manages to put up a good performance.

Title: | Eyes on the Prize : America's Civil Rights movement 1954-1985 |
Date: | 1954-1985 |
Description: | Web site companion to the PBS series "Eyes on the Prize." The site explores 25 major events of the Civil Rights movement, as told in the 14 hours of the Eyes on the Prize television series. Series topics range from the Montgomery bus boycott in 1954 to the Voting Rights Act in 1965; from community power in schools to "Black Power" in the streets; from early acts of individual courage through to the flowering of a mass movement and its eventual split into factions. It also contains information about the series, links to video and audio files, primary sources, profiles of individuals in the series, reflections of the Civil Rights movement, and a section for teachers. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |

I have to disagree with everyone who slagged off the reader - i thought he did a great job. Unfortunately I wasn't very interested in the book itself, no matter who was reading it. Funnily enough, I loved the preface (which is at the end...) but the rest of it I could take or leave. Not awful but not great either.
I bought this because I was told i needed to sell myself more and there are some good tips to avoid alienating people. Some of the stock sales lines he quotes near the end for you to use on your punters just made me feel nauseous. Maybe just a cultural thing (I'm british) but it really didn't make me want to emulate the guy at all. Why would I want to manipulate people into buying something they don't want?
Ach! Still, if all you want is a short, easily digestible toolkit of tricks of the trade you may be able to get what you need here!
"We-e-ell, it's OK..."
I like Sherlock Holmes a lot and I read enough pop-sci books to follow the point he's trying to illustrate. This left me feeling a bit unsatisfied though: the author obviously knows his Sherlock, but the characters weren't really alive and the central conceit (the Reichenbach Falls as a sort of cosmic schrodinger's cat situation) was all a bit stretched. It's Ok for a free listen but I'll not be buying the book!
"Plenty to think about"
I read this today and was relieved to find it was written by someone who can actually write, has a sense of humour and - best of all - can succesfully avoid triggering the gag reflex of a 41-year-old male curmudgeon. I was quite interested at the range of emotion it provoked in me, from wanting to shake her hand and buy her a drink to wanting to hurl the book across the room. I didn't hurl it though because it's an audiobook and my ipod is precious so I hurled James Joyce's "Ulysses" instead. Even after all these years it's surprising how therapeutic that can be.
Anyway, she's very good* on educational toys, Baby Einstein DVDs ("Even Mozart didn't listen to Mozart as a kid. His kids did though - and who's ever heard of them?"), and general running-about-outdoors-and-making-a-mess. she is fundamentally unsound** on breastfeeding and bicycling***. There are some dodgy applications of statistics in there and some hackneyed health-and-safety-gone-mad stories are trotted out, such as that old chestnut - no pun intended - about conkers being banned throughout England by government fiat. On the whole, the buy-her-a-drink tendency outweighed the throw-Ulysses-across-the-room tendency about 80:20, so buy the book if you're in the mood to have an argument with the author in your head or if you need an antidote to society's excesses but that's about it.
*=by which of course i mean "she reinforces my prejudices"
**=by which of course i mean "she does not reinforce my prejudices"
***=alliteration aside, even i would have to admit it is unwise to combine the two...."
"Brief Audio with Hideous Editing"
After the first two stories (dull sketches, read stiltedly) I almost gave up but there were enough plums in what was left that I was glad i stuck it out. He has a great ear for dialogue and for the little self-deceptions and manipulations that pepper his protagonists' dialogues. There are numerous readers and most of them are really good. This is the tragedy though: I read the review on amazon and some of the stories that didn't make the cut sound really interesting, so why did they get dropped in favour of what sounded like padding? Ach, I'll have to buy the papery version and read it myself I think.

Tripath a phase fake?
Since im have a past sound enginer experiance and also is musician and use delay a lot i wonder...
Is it a delay fake? My slowly brain just got open when i read Geoof's listening test of T-HiFi Micro-TI integrated amplifier. http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/micro-ti_e.html "Though digital amps have had rave reviews and are without question fabulous value for money they are not perfect. I still feel they are a little grey and soulless, and sometimes I get the feeling that their soundstaging can be just a bit artificial, almost as if they are messing about with phase." Have sombody messured the channels? I mean Left and Right together? It could be very small delays. Not on on whole spectra. I dont know. Just wonder... Still think its sounds amazing!! Solve |

I have found phase on the Tripath outputs to be strange, but have not pushed the study very far.
It is worth looking into.

Well, as with most class d amplifiers the output pulse train has to go through a low pass filter to recover the audio information. What is an often undesirable side effect of passing a signal through a filter? You guessed it - phase change. Of course this change should be gradual and only affect the upper end of the audio spectrum if the filter is designed properly.

It doesn't matter if Tripath designed it properly. They just offer you some design guidelines. It's up to the designer to choose to follow them. I've used components based on their filter guidelines (10uH inductors, 0.47uF caps for 4ohm load, 0.27-0.33uF for 8ohm load) and really enjoy what I hear. Certainly doesn't sound like an artificial soundstage to me. That could very well be caused by a poor recording, improperly set up speakers, improperly designed speakers, or the output filter reacting strangely with a certain speaker's crossover.

Do amps normally specify phase delay between channels?
Tripath aside I have listened to a single channel driven by a class d amp for extended periods (only had the one amp).. it sounds like it sounds. The actual phase shift at cut off which is usually well above 20khz is likely to be alot less than in your typical commercial junk, probably more on par with high quality amps with bandwidths of 100kHz, some of which are also likely to use coils in their outputs. Just my guess on the issue. |

We still talking about stereo?
If i mix a part- as an sound enginer- i sure want to know its in phase. The offphase i put in myself. So, i never would mix with an Tripath chip in an studio before i got an clear statement that it is no phase problem with Tripath. Solve |

Yep, I was just saying listening in mono doesn't change sonics in any significant way.
Back to your regular stereo broadcast: I actually dont' recall ever seeing such information posted for your "typical" amp either. It would be interesting to do a full comparison across several models, not just tripath. What's your threshold for considering it off phase anyway. |

Still want an messure in stereo and see how much delay it is. Compared to others of course. I dont know if somebody do it or how they do it. Solve |

He will stay in a cell alone and have no contact with the 14,000 other inmates.A hotel maid claims Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her Saturday at the Sofitel hotel in midtown New York.The maid, who police say is a 32-year-old African immigrant living in the Bronx with a teenage daughter, said she entered the room on Saturday and saw a man run naked from the bathroom to the bedroom. The maid apologized and tried to leave, but the man allegedly grabbed her, shut and locked the door and pulled her into the bathroom where he forced her to perform oral sex and tried to remove her underwear, according to reports quoting a law enforcement official.Authorities charged Strauss-Kahn with attempted rape, sex abuse, a criminal sex act, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching, the Associated Press reports. The most serious of the charges could put him away for a quarter century.Strauss-Kahn has denied the charges and will plead not guilty, his lawyer has stated.Meanwhile, allegations of similar attacks by the IMF chief began to emerge Monday.A writer in France, Tristane Banon, 31, is expected to file a criminal complaint accusing Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her in 2002, her lawyer told AP. A French lawmaker from a rival political party has accused him of attacking other maids at the Sofitel hotel during previous trips. And prosecutors in New York say they have reports of at least one other case.Strauss-Kahn's arrest has upset the financial world. As GlobalPost's Thomas Mucha writes, "turmoil at the top of such a key institution isn't good for anyone.""From a global economy perspective, the timing of the Strauss-Kahn fiasco is about as bad as it gets. That's because the IMF's help will be needed in Greece. It will be needed in Portugal. It will be needed in Spain. And it has been needed in Italy, Ireland, Belgium and just about every other European country during this ongoing debt crisis — one that could still derail the global economic recovery."The arrest and images of Strauss-Kahn being led by New York police in handcuffs has also caused turmoil in France, where the IMF chief had been expected to unseat President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2012.He has instead, as GlobalPost's Mort Rosenblum writes from Paris, "shamed a society that is not easy to shock."Much of France's shock has now turned to anger and suspicion, the New York Times writes, with many questioning the police account, the public images of him in handcuffs and the possibility that he was set up."In the file, there are a lot of contradictions beginning with the escape, which was acknowledged today didn't happen," Socialist politician Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, an ally of Strauss-Kahn, told the Times.He was referring to the initial account that Strauss-Kahn fled the hotel to get on a plane to leave the country. It now appears he might have left the hotel, had lunch with his daughter and then gone to the airport.In this timeline of events by Reuters, Strauss-Kahn allegedly attacked the hotel maid at about noon on Saturday. He then checked out, had lunch and boarded the Air France plane at 4 PM.At 4:40 PM, police boarded the plane, minutes before it took off, and detained the IMF chief.
