UnBooks:Travel guide to California
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
California is a small penis shaped planet right next to the planet of Viagra. It used to be a state in the USA but when the Gay Wars happened in 2015 the San Fransicoins took it and moved it far away and reshaped it into the their favorite toy, the dildo. California's moon is in the shape of an ass in remembrance of the founding fathers' favorite pasttime.

There are many things to do like surf, play chess, ice skating, dancing and seeing movies.
A blue state and home of the Democrats.
Being the plastic and soulless cesspit it is, California had no history at all prior to 1992. Willing to change all this, Los Angeles resident Rodney King rounded up a few of his close friends and a camcorder to film some pranks and make a quick buck on Candid Camera. The most notable being the 'Police Brutality' scene, where Rodney's mates dressed as police and kicked the shit out of him on a residential street, this quickly went viral and caused an uproar within the ethnic communities, who could not see the humor in the footage and went on the rampage in downtown LA. King later condemned the actions of these people as he didn't know how much of an impact it would make. Once peace was restored, the governor of the state erected a statue of Rodney King in the LA Civic Center, after he finally written the first chapter of Californian folklore.

In 1848 many people rushed to California's "Gold Country", including Calaveras and Amador counties as well as other two bit mud hut places you've never heard of.

|Second Chance for Young Offenders
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:56
Adults convicted of nonviolent felonies at ages 16 and 17 could have those crimes removed from their records in a bill recommended Tuesday by a state Senate committee.
An applicant could seek expunction two years after the conviction date or completion of punishment, whichever is later. A petition filed would contain affidavits of the defendant's good character, proof that the person has completed 100 hours of community service and has been convicted of no other non-traffic crimes.
The local district attorney also would have 30 days to file any objections before a judge makes the decision.

CLAYTON Collecting stamps once called the hobby of kings may have lost its throne to video games, television and web surfing, but it remains a lifelong passion for many.
At Saturdays annual Thousand Islands Stamp, Coin, Postcard, Jewelry, Gem and Collectibles Show, about 32 vendors brought thousands of items of the past from all over the world to the Cerow Recreation Park Arena.
I started collecting stamps when I was 10 as a hobby, said Al Greco, Rochester.
Now, some 40 years later, he said he carries stamps and postcards from every country.
Harry Tong, who travels throughout the eastern U.S. with his collection of 1840s to 1950s stamps and postcards, said theres no right or wrong way of collecting stamps.
Some people collect stamps of a certain color, others collect stamps by topics or type.
A lot of trade occurs online these days, but coming to a collectibles show and assessing the item of interest in person is often the best way to go, Mr. Tong said.
You come to a show like this, you can see it, you can touch it and you can talk to the guy selling it, he said.
Organizer George A. Mingle, Cape Vincent, said the annual show used to be a two-day event that attracted up to 70 vendors to the Claytons Recreation Park Arena.
However, there has been a steady decline in foot traffic and participating vendors over the years and the show was scaled back to a single-day event this year.
A lot of the older dealers are dying or retiring, said P. Hans Tanner of Geneseo.
But Mr. Tanner still carries boxes of postcards to shows all over the state, putting on display area-specific items for history buffs to browse through.
Mr. Tanner, 81, said he has been participating in the show every year since the inaugural 1977 show and he plans to come back next year.

I discovered this problem with converting Microsoft Word documents to HTML.
Word creates "smart quotes" quotation marks in a character set that isn't recognized by the latest version of Apache in Fedora. All the quotations appear like question marks "?" on the HTML browser output, though it looks fine if the document is edited in Word or Frontpage.
I found this link which tells you how to disable them and then replace all the bad characters. You need to use the "Tools, AutoCorrect Options" menu and disable the smart feature in two places, "Autoformat" and "Autoformat as you type".
The problem is that Word has a number of smart features you need to disable too. Hypens are "smarted" to dashes, apostrophes are "smarted" to a character that looks almost the same. Elipses ("...") are "smarted" to something that looks almost the same too. The copyright symbol (c) is non standard too. Bulleted lists are affected too. I had to convert all my bullets into standard ASCII characters like "o" and "-" etc. I had to disable as many smart features in list as I could find.
All these non standard characters show up as "?" marks when converted to HTML. There were question signs all over my web pages! It took me a day to figure out what was wrong.
To add insult to injury, Word saves multiple spaces as multiple space characters, but HTML requires multiple spaces to be represented with multiple "" strings. If you have more than one space in a row, they will show up as a "?" too!
It worked fine in RedHat 9, but the Fedora version of Apache seems to be more sensitive.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easier way to fix this? I know some of you will say "dump MS Word", but I need to create HTML from Word documents.

The KJ22ex7.6B is part of a new family of second generation 2/3-inch HDgc portable HD lenses. The new design reflects design refinements to the first generation line of HDgc lenses originally introduced in 2006.
The HDgc line of lenses had been specifically developed to achieve a price performance ratio that was commensurate with the new line of cost-effective HD camcorders being introduced by all major camera manufacturers in response to the broadcast industry's rapidly growing interest in transitioning to HDTV newsgathering, HD reality shows, and other lower-budget HD productions. They also directly address the increasing adoption of HD digital origination by the growing independent filmmaking market sector. In addition, they are anticipated to foster growing interest in HD within the broad B2B market sectors. To support this extensive flexibility in HD acquisition systems, the HDgc family includes 2/3-inch, 1/2-inch, and 1/3-inch lenses.
The KJ22ex7.6B IRSE is a portable HDTV production lens within the 2/3-inch image format sector of the new HDgc family. This particular lens is intended for users whose foremost priority is an affordable HD lens that delivers a generous range of focal lengths combined with a wide field of view in a lightweight mobile package. It was specifically designed for the many new cost-effective but remarkably high-performance 2/3-inch acquisition systems that appeared in 2008-2009.
In the KJ22ex7.6B lens imaging performance has been significantly advanced by mobilizing the most contemporary of optical glasses, optical coating materials and processes, and powerful new optical design tools. Customer feedback also spurred a total redesign of the digital drive unit that further optimized both the ergonomic aspects and the performance of the digital electronic control of zoom, iris, and focus.
The short 7.6 mm focal length translates to a 64.6 degree horizontal angle of view for the 16:9 HD image format. Combined with a focal range that has been extended to now cover a range from 7.6mm to 168mm (and 336mm with extender) this lens offers unsurpassed operational capabilities in a compact package. Focus breathing has also been significantly reduced over the predecessor lens.
The new KJ22ex7.6B is a telephoto lens covering a generous range of focal lengths while also providing a modest wide-angle of almost 65 degrees in the 16:9 HD image format. This provides a very flexible image framing range especially for outdoor applications. The central design criteria for this new lens sought an excellent balance between size, weight, and HD optical performance intended for HD News and many HD production applications. Customer recommendations based upon experiences with our first generation HDgc telephoto lens combined with the harnessing of new optical design strategies and new advanced optical materials to produce an excellent overall price performance ratio for the new KJ22ex7.6B.
The optical performance of the KJ22ex7.6B has been improved on a number of fronts compared to its predecessor KJ21ex7.6B. The new lens deploys Large Diameter Aspherical lens elements that contribute to a better control of comatic aberration, geometric distortion, and corner resolution. Curvature of field and chromatic aberrations have been reduced by use of special optical materials that include Fluorite and Hi-UD glasses. Computer optimization of both the optical and optomechanical designs contributed to achieving a high-performing telephoto lens within a compact and lightweight body.
Coupled with innovations in optical performance, is a totally new design of the digital drive unit. Refined by long-term market research and worldwide experience, Canon utilized the latest in 3D CAD-CAM design to significantly improve the human tactile interface to the control of zoom, iris, and focus.

A Disney Christmas
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
One of the greatest and most enduring names in entertainment is Walt Disney. From our earliest years, we're enthralled by Mickey Mouse and the dozens of other beloved characters who have joined him over the decades since the founding of The Walt Disney Company. We love Disney's movies all year round, but somehow, Disney's magic is heightened at the holiday season.
The "man behind the mouse," Walt Disney himself, was born 111 years ago today. In honor of the December baby's birthday, we're watching a few of Disney's greatest Christmas movies. Join us as we celebrate with Mickey and all his friends...
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas has only been around since 1999, but its Christmas cheer, and the many favorite Disney characters involved, give it the makings of a classic.
Another modern classic is The Santa Clause and its two sequels. A whole generation of kids has grown up thinking Santa just might just look a little like Tim Allen.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is as much about Halloween as it is about Christmas, and that might make it a bit too scary for the littlest Disney fans… but Jack Skellington's discovery of Christmas is as magical as any Mickey tale.
There must be some Disney fans for whom Ernest Saves Christmas is the all-time greatest holiday classic. And for everyone, it's goofy Christmas fun.
Lady and the Tramp and One Hundred and One Dalmations aren't Christmas-themed movies, but with their prominent Christmas scenes, they certainly put us in a holiday mood.
Similarly, both Bambi and Beauty and the Beast have lovely wintry scenes that make us feel like it's December, even if we watch them in July.
In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Disney's adaptation of C.S. Lewis's classic novel, we visit a magical land where it's always winter and never Christmas… at least, not until good triumphs over evil.
Then there are the films that combine a tried-and-true Christmas story with the characters we know and love – Mickey's Christmas Carol and A Muppet Christmas Carol. Whether you watched them as an excited kid when they were new in 1983 and 1992, or you're just now discovering them and sharing them with your own children or grandchildren, they're sure to put you in the Christmas spirit.

Read: The Players Should Decertify vs the Players Shouldn't Decertify
At Sportsnet, Michael Grange spoke with prominent NBA agent Bill Duffy who said that he has no doubt that the NHLPA should decertify.
He said that they should have done it three months ago and that it's the only way the players can get some power back "It's the only recourse the players have; otherwise the owners have an unfair advantage. The players should do it."
Damien Cox sent out two tweets about decertification, saying:
- If I was a player, I'd sure want to know how long decert process would take, and how much salary I'd lose while that is ongoing.
- If players want to sacrifice their massive gains from past 20 yrs by decertifying, then they must surely believe in their cause.
At the CBC, Dan Oldfield, the lead negotiator for the Canadian Media Guild says that decertifying would be a bad idea for them.
Oldfield says that "it's not as easy as it sounds, and it's not going to help the players settle their problems with the NHL."
He says that if the players go through with this then we are talking about a process that will takes "years" and not "months" to go through the courts and get resolved.
Oldfield says that the solution is simple, "by far the best solution is the one that sits in front of the parties now. All the components of a new deal are on the table. Put the right people in the room. Stop swapping proposals, and talk about needs rather than wants."
Elliotte Friedman has much more on decertification at CBC

By JAMES DAVISEmery Progress editor
One week after surviving being buried beneath tons of coal, Dustin Chidester considers the fact that he is alive to be something of a miracle.
Dustin, a heavy equipment operator at the Savage terminal on Ridge Road near Wellington, was pushing coal into a feeder on top of a pile in a D9 Cat bulldozer on Feb. 12. He said there was a pile of coal on the other side of the feeder and he went to push it away at around 3:30 a.m., a half an hour before the end of his shift.
"Fifteen more minutes and he would have been in the shower and headed for home," said his wife, Clerece, 23.
But while Dustin was operating the bulldozer, the feeder was pulling from the bottom of the pile and the coal had bridged rather than sank. As he backed the bulldozer up, it ran across the bridge and fell into a hole. The coal slid from the sides, burying the bulldozer and its operator. The angle of the bulldozer's blade kept the coal from crushing in around the cab, creating an air pocket for Dustin.
Swallowed by the coal, the man had only the cab's dome light and the stereo to provide illumination.
"I thought I was OK because the guys would dig me out. If I had known I was 40-feet down I would have panicked," he said.
The impact of the fall had broken the bulldozer's back window and the door window to the cab and spider webbed the front windshield.
"It sounded like thunder when the windows broke," Dustin said. He knew his head was bleeding and tightened his hard hat to stem the flow of blood.
The CB radio's antenna had been destroyed in the fall. While he could not communicate with rescuers, he said he knew they were there and would find a way to get to him.
"I never thought I wouldn't get out. I had faith in those guys that they would find a way to get me out," he said.
Savage employees attempted to dig their way to Chidester with loaders. Shortly after the accident, the Carbon County Sheriff's Office called Wayne Nielson of Nielson Construction and asked for the use of a crane. The construction company operates a facility a short distance from the Savage terminal and the crane was quickly on its way. A short time later trackhoes from the Nielson yard were brought in as well to help with the digging efforts.
While the rescue efforts continued and with no way to communicate with the surface, Dustin said he was able to sleep for a while.
At the couple's home in Cleveland, Clerece was unaware of what was happening. An admitted night owl, she decided to go to bed at around 3:45 a.m.
"Dustin gets mad if I'm still up when he gets home," pointed out the cat operator's wife.
When the doorbell rang at around 5:30 a.m. the first thing to go through Clerece's mind was "Oh my gosh, I've locked the door on him again."
But when the woman opened the door, she came face to face with Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova.
"The sheriff told me there had been an accident and they were still trying to rescue him. They said they knew he was in his machine, but couldn't reach him," she said. "He asked me if there was anyone I could call."
Clerece contacted her parents, Kay and Linda Jensen, who live a short distance from the Chidester home.
The sheriff called for an update on the rescue attempt before leaving the couple's residence and told the family that he would contact them if there was good news to report.
"I was pretty worried. You try not to think of the worst, but there are realities that you have to think about," said Clerece.
At around 7 a.m., a call informed the family that rescuers still hadn't reached Dustin.
At the scene, Dustin had decided it was time to dig. Breaking off the windshield wiper, he used the arm to dig at the coal, throwing it behind him into the cab. Later, he pushed coal toward the feeder.
Dustin said he dug for more than an hour and finally made his way to the top of the bulldozer's radiator. Lying on his stomach, he could see the daylight.
Clerece received a call between 8 and 9 a.m. indicatingrescuers could see Dustin moving. But the 27-year-old heavy equipment operator wasn't sure rescuers had spotted him.
"I crawled over on my belly and stood on the ram (of the bulldozer) and started throwing coal up out of the hole and started yelling and whistling," he said.
Through the hole, he could see a rescue worker dangling from the line of the crane. With the danger of the coal collapsing even more, the rescuer was able to drop a line to Dustin. He looped the line around himself and was pulled slowly free from the trap which had held him captive for almost six hours.
"It was an eerie feeling, knowing I was that deep," Dustin said.
Free at last, a cheer went up from the rescue units from Wellington and Price, members of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office and Savage and Nielson employees who had worked tirelessly to free him.
At home, Clerece received the call she had been waiting for.
A week after the incident and the Chidesters have had time to think of the effort that went into Dustin's rescue.
"I can't thank enough all of the Savage employees and the guys from Nielson's and the Wellington and Price rescue teams and the Carbon County sheriff," Dustin said.
They have also had time to think about the incident.
"The way the Cat was buried most of us thought that the glass had ruptured and he had smothered. I thought if the glass had held he had a chance," said Brett Christensen, the crane operator for the rescue.
The couple plan to celebrate Dustin's birthday on Friday quietly, at home.
"It's probably safer that way," commented Dustin.

Comments about Outdoor Research Southback Gloves (Men's):
I spend a lot of time outside in the winter. From clearing the driveway, walking the dog to skiing. My circulation to the hands in not great, but not bad. Most gloves I have owned keep my hands warm for about 15 minutes and then my fingers go numb. these certainly prevent that. I would say temps below 10 degrees - it helps retain heat, and my hands get cold at around 30 minutes. Between 10 to 20, heat is retained. Anything above 30, your hands will be toasty. I would recommend these and for the price - it's a darn good buy!

Businesses using natural gas share a common challenge: how to guard against the volatility of an unpredictable market.
Rather than absorbing all the risk associated with a single procurement method, businesses in Constellation's Managed Procurement Program spreads risk across several hedging alternatives and improve their protection.
A uniquely defined hedging strategy, the Managed Procurement Program helps customers manage price volatility, mitigate risk exposure and make smart natural gas business decisions.
The Managed Procurement Program offers risk management tools along with a diversified portfolio of weighted procurement alternatives, including:
Constellation's energy experts help businesses by selecting the appropriate blend of hedging alternatives for given market conditions. The resulting strategy diversifies hedging types to limit high-price exposure while maximizing low-price potential.
Natural gas business customers can enroll in the Managed Procurement Program in segmented fiscal periods that begin on April 1 each year and end on March 31 of the following year.
Customers have options for multi-year terms. Enrollment remains open until March 15 for any subsequent program fiscal year.

As the multitude of mandates contained within the ObamaCare behemoth begin breathing down the necks of Americans, state legislators across the country are proposing bills to protect citizens from being subjected to the healthcare law's unconstitutional provisions. These bills are also designed to restore the walls of sovereignty that protect states from an overreaching federal authority.
In Indiana, for example, State Senator Phil Boots has offered a nullification bill that would prohibit the enforcement of ObamaCare (officially called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) in the Hoosier State.
Boots' bill (SB 0230) proposed changes to the current Indiana Code regarding the administration of state and local government. Citing the Tenth Amendment as authority, Boots' bill states:
Provides that any federal act, order, law, rule, regulation, or statute found by the general assembly to be inconsistent with the power granted to the federal government in the Constitution of the United States is void in Indiana. Provides that a resident of Indiana has a cause of action to enjoin the enforcement or implementation or the attempted enforcement or implementation of a federal act, order, law, rule, regulation, or statute declared void by the general assembly. Provides that a plaintiff who prevails in such an action is entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
The general assembly finds the following:
The people of the several states comprising the United States of America created the federal government to be their agent for certain enumerated purposes as set forth in the Constitution of the United States and for nothing more.
The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States defines the total scope of federal power as being that which has been delegated by the people of the several states to the federal government, and all powers not delegated to the federal government in the Constitution of the United States are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people themselves.
Unlike similar statutes passed by other state legislatures, the Indiana bill criminalizes the enforcement of ObamaCare, declaring state or local compliance with unconstitutional acts of the federal government a felony. The relevant section of the nullification bill reads:

The OFA Boys and Madrid-Waddington Girls claimed sweeps on Tuesday in an NAC Track-Field triangular which also included Tupper Lake. The Devil Boys outscored M-W 129-111 for a 5-0 season record and both teams defeated a very small Tupper Lake squad.
The M-W Girls overame a solid effort by OFA 160-139 and both teams claimed a win over Tupper Lake which featured a corps of stellar individual talent.
Madrid-Waddington had some very tough performers and we really had to scramble with Alex Wood slowed by a stomach bug, said OFA Coach John Tebo.
We had a lot of people come through again.
The toughest of the M-W performers was first-year senior Austin Scott who has burst into prominence in the distance events.
In two meets this season he has bettered school records held by performers who are members of the M-W Hall of Fame.
In his first meet he bettered the 3200 school mark held by Tony Kerr and on Tuesday he ran a 2:02.6 to unseat Bryan Clark in the 800. He also took top honors in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs.
Austin Scott decided to switch from baseball to track and after running for Canton in the indoor season he has been amazing in the start of the outdoor season, said M-W Coach Larry LaMere.
He is an outstanding runner.
The Devils countered with quadruple medalist outings by Taylor Bouchard and Donovan Smith. Bouchard led the 400 hurdles, the long jump, the triple jump and ran on the winning 4x800 relay team. Smith led the 200 and 400 dashes, ran on the 4x800 team with Bouchard, Nick Vielhauer and Collin Sovie and run on the winning 4x400 relay with Alex Wood, Sovie and Phil Adami.
Joe Grizzuto rounded out OFAs first place scoring in the high jump.
Randy Ball led the 100 meters for M-W and ran on the winning 4x100 relay team with Connor Maskell, Maurice Rease and Richard Wright. Ian Hawkins won the shot put and discus throw and Nick Zeledon led the way in the 110 hurdles.
Individual overall second places came from: Nate Stowe (O 110H), Alex Sias (O 100), Alex Wood (O 1600, 3200), John Lenney (M-W 400), Nick Zeledon (M-W 400H), Collin Sovie (O 800), Randy Ball (M-W 200), Owen Pearson (O SP), Russ Jacquith (O DT), Connor Maskel (M-W LJ, TJ), Richard Wright (M-W HJ)
Madrid-Waddington relied on its depth to sweep the Girls Meet where Katie Marcellus led the shot put and discus throw and Cassidy Scott led the 800 and 3200 meter runs.
A small Tupper Lake squad featured two double medalists in Madi Fortier in the 100 and 200 dashes and Samantha Ormsby in the long jump and triple jump.
M-W received individual wins from Zoe Zagrobelny in the 100 hurdles and Lauren Orosz in the 1500 and led the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
Blake Orosz, Angela Matthie, Makayla Blair and Taylor Lenney paced the 4x400 relay with Blake Orosz, Hannah Marcellus, Mathie and Blair leading the 4x100 event.
Leading the OFA efforts were: Ellen Miller who led the 400 hurdles and the first place 4x800 relay team of Miller, Sarah Mitchell, Danielle Steenkamer and Kurstyn Macaulay.
Individual second places came from: Hannah Marcellus (M-W 100H), Taylor Lenny (M-W 100, 200, LJ), Cassidy Scott (M-W 1500), Madi Fortier (TL 400), Kaleigh Field (M-W 400H), Hannah Klossner (TL 800, TJ), Sarah Mitchell (O 3200), Katie Zurek (TL SP), Maddison Simmons (O DT) and Nikki Duprey (O HJ)

Meet Your Hosts
"Come and stay a few days! We have lots to see in our area!"
"Come and stay a few days! We have lots to see in our area!," says Grant Robertson, owner of the Raton, New Mexico KOA. A custom cabinet builder, Grant purchased his KOA in March of 2003 and saw it as not only a business with great potential, but an investment for a lifetime. Although this is his first KOA purchase, he is not new to the camping business. He played a large part in the success of a KOA campground in Utah with his father-in-law. After turning the Utah KOA over to new owners, Grant worked with the new-comers for an entire year, ensuring both success and longevity for the campground.
With customer service taking top priority, Grant said, "I want customers to feel like they are home." Not only is this campground the Robertson's home, but Grant takes pride in his business and says it is a "reflection of me. I'm making it what I want it to be."
Raton is an experience filled with history and small-town charm. Campers are able to see more in one day than usual, which makes for an interesting trip, both for short stays and long.

Title: Coordinator of Postal Services
Education: B.A. in history, Salisbury State University; M.A. in Student Personnel Services, Northwestern State University
Years at NSU: 1
Job description: Northwestern State University Postal Services processes all of the in-coming and outgoing mail for the university. We also serve as a fully functioning post office and provide mail service for all of Northwestern State's residential students.
Why I like working at Northwestern State: Northwestern State University's Postal Services serves as one of the main methods by which NSU communicates with prospective students, current students and alumni. From the time a high school junior is sent their first recruiting letter to the time, as alumni, they receive their very first copy of Alumni Columns, Postal Services is the department that ensures that they are getting all the information they need from the university. We also get to see a variety of people from many different facets of the University on a daily basis and our professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff is always willing to help out other staff and faculty. I also enjoy getting the opportunity to work with students outside of the post office setting and am currently advising an outstanding group of young men who will soon be members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, the newest Greek organization on NSU's campus.

Book: Digital Television at Home: Satellite, Cable and Over-the-Air
Posted 22 December 2008 - 03:43 PM
For immediate release
Digital Television: Satellite, Cable and Over-the-Air provides the technical details and big picture on how modern TV and video technologies work and can best be exploited.
What's all the hype about digital TV? What's the difference between satellite and cable TV, and how does each differ from terrestrial digital and analog? In collaboration with DBSTalk.com and AVSForum.com, two of the web's most prominent sites for home entertainment professionals and aficionados, this book answers these questions.
Renowned science author Gregory Dudek tackles these issues in his new book Digital Television at Home: Satellite, Cable and Over-the-Air (312 pp., tpb, $28.95), a guide and handbook to the digital TV revolution. Dudek's book is aimed at those comfortable with high tech and not only explains the basic technologies, but also delves into some of the technical details. In fact, digital television is essentially a computer-based technology and Dudek, as a computer scientist, starts out gently but eventually provides enough hard-core details for even the most avid home entertainment enthusiast.
Using digital television involves selecting, or combining, receivers for either satellite-based transmission, cable TV, or over-the-air terrestrial broadcast. Each of these technologies has specific advantages and sends information in different formats. By selecting appropriate technologies, many viewers can receiver dozens, and perhaps hundreds, of stations for legally and free.
Whether it is a matter of choosing between a dipole antenna and a more expensive compound antenna, or understanding the various data encryption systems used to protect programming, this book provides the information. While the author has the technical background to get into obscure details, he generally avoids this in favor or an approach that starts from the basics.
Many people are confused by the abundance of television options that have appeared with the transition to digital broadcasting, or what digital broadcasting even means. This book tries to explain what those options are, how they work, and what there relative advantages are. Several of the chapters are targeted to people with a very limited awareness of television and video technologies. Once that background is covered, there are a couple of rather technical chapters for the home-hacker type that wants to really understand the technical subtleties and perhaps set up a home computer to allow it to receive programming.
Dr. Ioannis Rekleitis, space scientist from the Canadian Space Agency and image-processing expert, says "Dudek's book gets to the hard-core details and puts the user in control of the transition to digital."
Gregory Dudek is a researcher and chaired professor at McGill University. His research normally deals with robotics, image processing and computer vision. He is also co-author of Computational Principles of Mobile Robotics (Cambridge University Press) and a large number of technical and scientific publications.
More information can be found on the book's web page at http://www.y1d.com/DTVbook and can be ordered also directly from Amazon...

As far as "who was involved", the site was. More or less Gregory came to me about a year ago with the book in raw form. Some research was taken from this site but written from his vast knowledge of the subject. After reviewing the book, it was something I felt would be great for the readers here and agreed to promote it.
It is very well written and is both for the techey in us and the for general reader who just wants to understand more about the digital transmissions they receive.

Is there a difference between the $28.99 and the $21.13 offerings on Amazon (other than $7.86)?
No. It's the same paperback version.
[edit] Now I'm beginning to wonder. One was published in April 2008 and the other just published this December 2008. Can anyone else confirm that there are no differences?

Thanks Chris! I just switched:)

For rest results follow with the LUSH toner and moisturizer that best suit your skin type. Your cleanser will remain fresh for up to three months. Always check the expiration date on your product.How to use
Hot toddy: We add a splash of brandy to warm up skin (and keep spirits bright) on cold wintery days.

Like most dancers I know, I can't stand watching myself on film. Really, I'm that slow? It's not that I dance behind the music, but I never look quite sharp enough. Innately smooth, lyrical and calm, my natural movement quality works all right in adagio choreography, but if you ask me to "hit" a position I'll probably "lightly tap on" it and then flow through to the next step. But recently I've noticed this weakness improving. Surprisingly, it's not due to more petite allegro; it's because of hip hop.
