The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Here at The Bump, we're always talking about cool ways to take your weekly belly photos — and think photography is a great way to document your growing bump. But here's an idea we hadn't seen yet: a time lapse video.
This couple filmed themselves from very early in the pregnancy until birth — paying special attention to the mom-to-be's belly — and edited it all into a 95-seond video. Check out how their home changes (they even move!), and how the mom-to-be's body changes, throughout nine months. At the end, they're a family of three with new baby Amelie Amaya in their arms. Amazing!
What do you think of this video? How have you documented your pregnancy?

There's a difference between education and creating an environment that leads to the act. It's not your parents job to get you laid.
Mm, yes, I just gave them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps there were other reasons for getting a larger bed than them wanting them to have sex, like him outgrowing one. I'm mainly looking at the fact that they got him condoms, which I tried to make a point of in my previous post. It wasn't specified when they bought the condoms and the bed, so I'm left to speculate. It could have been months beforehand when they got him a new bed.

Sony SLT-A57
Ilse Jurriën : March 13th 2012 - 11:20 CET
Sony SLT-A57 DSLR camera :
Sony announces a new Alpha SLR camera with Translucent Mirror Technology. The Sony SLT-A57 incorporates a 16.1 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor plus the latest BIONZ processor for superb image quality. Thanks to the BIONZ image processor, creative shooting opportunities are boosted by an outstanding sensitivity range of ISO 100-16000. With the new Sony SLT-A57 users will experience consistently natural, low-noise images, whether they are using fast shutter speeds to freeze dynamic action or shooting handheld without flash in low light. In addition, the Sony SLT-A57 is equipped with a high resolution Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder and an angle-adjustable 7.5 cm (3.0-type) Xtra Fine LCD display.
Sony SLT-A57
"Today's DSLR consumer is looking for a higher level of control and flexibility in their camera," said Mike Kahn, director of the Alpha camera business group for Sony Electronics. "With the introduction of the new Sony SLT-A57, we're bringing blazing fast response rates, enhanced artistic capabilities and other advanced features to the mainstream DSLR marketplace, offering professional photos and videos at an affordable price."
Professional portraits with the Sony SLT-A57
Even beginners can effortlessly create pro-style portraits with the Sony SLT-A57. In a world first, Sony introduces new Auto Portrait Framing. Using face detection and the compositional 'rule of thirds', the Sony A57 identifies your subject's position, trimming the scene to create tightly-framed, professional looking pictures in vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation. Pixel Super Resolution Technology by Sony ensures that cropped, zoomed images retain a full pixel count. The Sony SLT-A57 saves the original photo together with the optimally-trimmed image. This allows easy comparison between the two photos, offering photographers inspiration to refine their portrait skills.
Picture Effects on the Sony SLT-A57
Already popular with creative photographers, the range of in-camera Picture Effects on the Sony SLT-A57 includes 11 effect types and 15 variations, offering a generous palette of 'PC-free' artistic treatments. Users can review the results in live view mode on the LCD screen, whether they are shooting Full HD video or still photos.
Sony SLT-A57 camera features
• 16.1 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor
• BIONZ image processor
• Extended sensitivity range ISO 100 - 16000
• 15-point AF system with 3 cross sensors
• High speed 12 fps shooting with full-time continuous autofocus
• New high-resolution Tru-Finder viewfinder with 100% coverage
• Angle-adjustable 7.5 cm (3.0-type) Xtra Fine LCD display
• Full HD 50p video with full P/A/S/M control
• World's first Auto Portrait Framing
• 2x Clear Image Zoom for detail-packed close-ups
Sony SLT-A57 price & availability
The new Sony SLT-A57 Translucent Mirror camera will become available in April 2012 at a suggested retail price of $700 USD / €750 Euro. The Sony SLT-A57 kit consist of the camera body and an 18-55mm zoom lens, and will retail at a price of $800 USD / €850 Euro. Prices may vary from country to country.

Comments about 'Utah ranks No. 11 in quarterly foreclosure report'
- Oldest first

Not surprising at all, even expected an even higher ranking in the top 10
It doesn't take much effort to live, shop, and drive around Utah to see how bad the Utah economy really is. Expendable incomes is the root of economic growth and it is the most relative bit of information the state never uses to evaluate the state of the economy. The state of the economy is always measured by job numbers regardless of lost incomes. Personal income is never put in the governors equation to establish the real state of Utah's economy.
But in all new home construction sites in Utah usually of 12 or less homes at a time it is taking more than a year to build and sell a dozen homes. Used homes sell faster but sellers are forced into asset equity losses to avoid foreclosures.
Even the counties are making illegal changes to property valuation laws by inflating uncontested valuations by county workers. The valuation adjustments are high enough that to contest the yearly valuation costs thousand of dollars to challenge the county tax departments. Legislators turn their nose at complaints and won't enforce taxation laws by representation.

Whet is interesting about these numbers is when you do the ranking correlated to
unemployment rate... there seems to little correlation between the two numbers.
With Utah's relatively "healthy" economy compared to its peers -
you would not expect Utah to be in the top quartile in the nation in
I know the popular talking points on the matter is that is people who bought McMansions....but the value of the homes being foreclosed is right in the heart of the middle class housing market, not the typical over extenders market. It would be good to get some insight why such a conservative state has a constant problem with the and bankruptcy filings.

I am not really sure what My2Cents is describing...... from the numbers, homes
are appreciating at a pretty good clip in Utah with YoY number being 11.4%.
That is a strong number. Add to that in 2008 Utah has 13+ months home
inventory on the market - that number is down to about 7 months. In the Salt
Lake Valley - that number is even stronger - up in Ogden, weaker.
If you look at new home permits, pulled that number is also up, and per labor statistics, Utah is about 30,000 short on demand for skilled construction people.
I am not sure if it is because people have so bought so deeply into the sky is falling mentality... but the numbers just don't match the impressions people have. Truth is probably in the middle, and of course, for some, I am sure it is a lot worse than for others.

Coming from out of state I am surprised with how nice of cars and houses people have here. And then you look at the stats and see that Utahn's make an median household income of $57,000 and think you can afford all the cars, boats, toys and house that they are making payments on.

Male Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) may delay for many years the acquisition of the full array of secondary sexual traits, including their characteristic cheek flanges. Such flexible developmental arrest is unique among male primates. Among male Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) such long delays appear less common. Here, we develop a simple model to identify the conditions under which developmental arrest can be adaptive. We show that the baseline strategy (i.e., males are not susceptible to arrest) cannot be invaded by the flexible strategy (i.e., males can arrest their development when the conditions are unfavorable) when the potential for high-ranking unflanged or flanged males to monopolize sexual access to females is low. In contrast, at high monopolization potential, the flexible strategy is the evolutionarily stable strategy. We also derive the proportion of flanged males in the population for each combination of monopolization values. This model concurs with field data that found a different monopolization potential between Bornean and Sumatran flanged males and a lower proportion of flanged males in the population in Sumatran orangutans. Pronounced developmental arrest is linked to very low adult mortality, which explains why it is so limited in its taxonomic distribution. Am J Phys Anthropol 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

I have been a programmer for 30 years. Use Delphi most of the time, but have experience in PHP/C/C++/Java/C# and several other languages. And also (X)HTML/CSS/XML/ASP/XSL/Javascript and more web based languages.
I like to reverse engineer (curiosity and cat) and have compiled a Delphi Syntax because there was none yet.
In real life I am a father of two. I like to work with (chain)mail as you can see from my picture. In de evenings I teach other people to use First Aid techniques like CPR.

There are apparently no support forums for this plugin, and only a very brief FAQ that doesn't address my problem. An email to the creators has gone unanswered. Can *anyone* help me figure out what's going on?

Join us for an authentic adventure in the great American West designed for current 6th-8th graders. Pacific Connect is a balanced travel experience that combines must-see touring, active outdoor adventures, meaningful Jewish experiences, and a unique opportunity to forge friendships as part of a close-knit group. No need to fly half-way around the world to experience a truly memorable summer on Pacific Connect.
A sample itinerary is available for an even fuller sense of the experience.
Pacific Connect starts in Seattle where we explore Pike Place Market, the Microsoft Campus, the Boeing airplane assembly headquarter, the Chihuly Gardens and the iconic Seattle Space Needle. Seattle is also our base for day trips to Mt. Rainier, and kayaking in Puget Sound. After a relaxing Shabbat on the University of Washington campus, we travel to Olympic National Park to explore its rainforests, rugged coastlines, and natural hot springs.
In week two we travel southwards to Oregon, stopping at Mt. St. Helens en route. In Oregon we explore Portland, raft down the Columbia River Gorge, take in the views at Crater Lake, and spend a memorable Shabbat in quaint Ashland, Oregon — where we take part in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Northwest Connect caps off in Northern California, hiking through redwood forests, learning about salmon conservation efforts, and traveling down the coastline all the way to San Francisco.
Our third week starts in the San Francisco where we visit all of the highlights in the city and around the Bay Area — capped off by a Shabbat on the camps of UC Berkeley. From the Bay Area we climb into the Sierra-Nevada Mountains to explore Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park's Half Dome. Along the way, we learn how to pan for gold and even make a visit to the Jelly Belly Factory.
In our final week together, we travel to the canyons lands of the southwest — exploring Bryce, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Park. Our final Shabbat is a rewarding one, at the Ponderosa Ranch in Southern Utah. Our journey concludes at the red rocks of Sedona, rafting down the Salt River, and a final celebration in Phoenix.
Is Pacific Connect right for my teen?
This experience is perfect for any Jewish teen in 6th-8th grade with a spirit for adventure around the American West. Pacific Connect provides an opportunity for teens to discover the great outdoors, while also exploring their Jewish identity and college life along the way.
Are scholarships available for Pacific Connect?
Yes, BBYO Passport is proud to partner with One Happy Camper to provide teens up to $1,000 off our U.S. based trips for their first summer at a Jewish overnight camp. Please view this list for qualifying communities, age requirements and contact information at the Eligibility Page.
Where will my teen stay on Pacific Connect?
On this trip we will stay in several different kinds of lodgings, ranging from a 3 star hotel to college dormitories.
What is the weather like throughout this experience?
Temperatures range from hot to hotter during a summer in the American West. Daytime temperatures range from the 80's to 100's. The clothing that you pack should be light weight and comfortable in hot temperatures. Whenever we plan to be outside for an extended period of time, participants will be required to have a hat, a shirt with sleeves, sunscreen and water. These rules are strictly enforced because over exposure to the sun can cause heatstroke, dehydration and sunburns. The good news is that the heat is mostly dry – there is very little humidity. So the higher temperatures may feel more comfortable than what you are used to at home.
For more information, check out our general FAQs.
Sign-on for a full summer of eye-opening travel. This experience is the seamless combination of Northwest Connect and Southwest Connect.

Every summer, teens and staff gather together in Maine to share special interests and unique cultural experiences with each other, creating a supportive environment to explore new and exciting challenges. Maine Teen Camp is North America's only family-owned, accredited summer camp exclusively for teenagers.
We provide the supervision, safety, and stability that only a summer camp can provide. Maine Teen Camp offers the diversity of an international camp experience, shared sense of community, and safe and well-supervised social environment to provide the basis for a fun summer, packed full of new experiences, the exploration of new activities, and age-appropriate challenge that teens need to grow and gain independence.
Maine Teen Camp offers over 35 different activities in a fully elective format. Campers select their own schedule, choosing the activities that interest them, challenge them, and make them happy!
Most campers coming to MTC for the first time do not know any other campers. Unlike at a more traditional age ranged camp, new campers to MTC do not have to compete with long established social circles when making new friends.
Because MTC only caters to 13 – 17 year old campers, we are free to create activities, events and schedules that are developmentally appropriate for teens only! We don't have to cater to "little kids" and "big kids" in one program, and recognize that 9 year olds and 15 year olds have different interests and ability levels.
Diversity and inclusion are core values at MTC. We believe that by creating a space that celebrates the individual, and in which every individual feels safe, all our campers are free to be their best selves. MTC provides a space for adolescents to tell their own stories, and learn more about who they are and what interests them.
Competition is by choice at Maine Teen Camp. For campers who want to play competitive team or individual sports, they will find plenty of competition. For those who wish to play for love of the game, fitness and socialization, there is plenty of opportunity to do so.
MTC provides a welcome respite for teens from the stresses of the school year. In addition to being cell/smartphone free, campers enjoy access to nature, tons of activity, good food, an appropriate sleep schedule, blocks of free time, and the friendship of wonderful campers and staff.
i was there this summer was my first year in MTC … but was really good i love it and i enjoy all moments there i made to much friends and all the teachers were excellent …. i want to go next year … and congratulation for your beautiful community … thanks for did my summer very funny !
The counselors, they always are the best and make it a great FUN time, mixed with feeling good about herself and COMFORTABLE to be yourself and silly. The next thing she loves is the structure and mix of activities and down time and evening activites, it works!!! your scheduling works!…Gave her a chance to be herself and have FUN, and be away from the phone, and tv and computer
Everything the variety of things to do is amazing. Both of my girls find and enjoy everything. The staff is so creative to provide programs that fit the age group and keep them engaged
You were wonderfully attuned, caring, and supportive of him…. He liked that Matt knew who he was early into his stay there
Chris was able to do things that he enjoys such as tennis and cooking. However, he also tried many things that he had never done and enjoyed them…. Further, the thoughtful evaluations by the staff which we requested were even more helpful. We realize it is not easy to do that with each camper.
Literally the most amazing place in the world!!! It's beautiful and very well run. The whole camp is so kind and friendly which was very refreshing after how cliquey the previous camp I went to was. The activities were great and offered me so many new experiences, including- international cooking, water skiing, stained glass, pottery-wheel and SO many other new experiences! This camp is amazing and I have made so many unforgettable memories!
I can honestly say that for the last summer I have been a camper at Maine Teen Camp, my life has changed for the better. I had been to other sleepaway camps and none by far can compare to MTC. From the amazing, helpful, kind hearted staff that really care about you to the campers who are all super down to earth people that just want to have fun, MTC is definitely a place that I feel safe, very happy and want to go back to. All of the activities are really fun and you can learn a lot. The area at camp is absolutely stunning. I was at camp for eight weeks this year and it was probably the best eight weeks I have ever had in my life. I love Maine Teen Camp and would never want to be at any other camp.
MTC is far above any other summer camp I have attended. I met people from all over the world and forged friendships that will last a lifetime. The wide variety of activities let me hone some of the skills I already had, but also gave me the opportunity to leave my comfort zone and try things like Sketch Comedy and Canoeing which I had never done before. In my three summers at MTC, I didn't meet a single staff member who wasn't friendly and outgoing. Everyone, the counselors, the kitchen staff, the administration, and the infirmary staff all genuinely cared about the campers having the best summer of their lives. My only complaint about MTC is that the summer ends.
There simply isn't a better place on Earth. I had the absolute privilege to attend as a camper and LT for several summers, and I can honestly say my life is better for it. Some of my happiest days were spent here in the beautiful state of Maine, and the experiences I had and friends I made will last a lifetime.
I went to MTC not knowing how to play a single instrument. At the end of my days there, I played over a dozen, had the courage to sing in front of people, and began writing my own material. Without MTC, this wouldn't have happened.
MTC grants a sense of freedom to it's campers that is lacking elsewhere. You choose your schedule, you pick things that interest you, and discover new talents and hobbies you never thought you had or enjoyed.
The staff make the place. The counselors here helped shape my life, and the senior staff are some of the best people on Earth. Fitting, for the best place on Earth.

Thanks Jim!
BMY is on fire right now. What I'm seeing is a free run to $34.75. If it passes that it may very well it $36. I wish I bought more calls in BMY than I did in NLY.
Hey Roy,
Good news. BMY's two day price run has shifted the historic range in a positive manner. If BMY opens tomorrow (X-d. minus 6 trading days) at today's close (33.87), the historic range to the pre X high is 34.17 to 36.32, with the average at 35.15.
Obviously there are no guarantees, but things are looking up for BMY.

Saving Phone and Door Time
by Sharon Powell
We are always on the run these days, and so often the phone and doorbell can make the problem that much worse. Here are two easy ways to help cut down on those lost minutes. When you call a company and they start in on, "push 1 if...then push 2 if..." and so on, just don't push anything. In most cases, if you don't push any buttons they will treat you like a rotary phone owner and immediately put you through to an operator, then transfer you to the right person. In rare cases, they have a system where you have to "say 1 if...say 2 if...", but not very often. So resist that urge and don't touch that dial pad!
To help get rid of the door to door interruptions, type or write the following on a little card and tape it to your door. "No Salesmen or Solicitors (Charity, Religious, or Otherwise)". Since I put that sign up, I've only had one person knock in over 10 years. POST IT...by your phone and on your door.
Debt is preventing me from taking a vacation this year or the vacation I'd like to take this year! Tell us: Yes, debt is affecting my vacation plans! or No, we're going exactly where we want to go but we'd love to learn make our trip as inexpensive as possible!

Authentic qi gong as practiced in the Shaolin Temple where this discipline originated centuries ago
• Reveals the fundamental spiritual principles and includes both a short and long form of the daily exercises
• Explains the benefits of mastering energy in the body, such as organ strengthening
• Includes a 53-minute DVD of exercises performed by the author, a Shaolin monk
The great teacher Bodhidharma is credited with the creation of Shaolin Temple qi gong and kung fu in the 6th century CE. Motivated by the terrible physical condition of the monks who spent all their time meditating or copying scrolls, his two-part system promoted physical as well as spiritual fitness and became the basis for all the martial and meditative arts taught in the Shaolin Temple. These ancient practices increase physical health and vitality, enhance creativity, and can be practiced well into old age.
Author Shi Xinggui, a Shaolin monk, explains the fundamental principle of qi gong--the art of mastering energy (qi) and moving it through the body--and provides clear demonstrations of all the positions and movements. In order to develop qi attentively, it is necessary to cultivate the art of slowness in both movement and breathwork. Shi Xinggui provides both a short form and a long form of the daily exercises, with lessons on heart centering, organ strengthening, and balancing the energy using the three dantians--the three energy centers of the body. A 53-minute DVD of the exercises performed by the author is also included.
Shi Xinggui became a student at the Shaolin Monastery at the age of eight. His teachers there included Masters Shi De Shin, Shi Xu Xi, Shi De Su, and Shi De Duzan. In 1988 the author won the National Championship title for kung fu (70 kg class) in Shaolin and again in 1993 and 1994 in Zheng Zou. He received his Shaolin diploma in 1989 from Master Shi De Yuan. He now lives and teaches in Goldegg, Austria.
Editorial Reviews
"This excellent guide teaches some of the basic forms of qigong, a traditional technique of Chinese energy movement that promotes energy and well-being. . . . A 45-minute DVD of selected exercises by Shi Xinggui is included, making this an effective tool for self-instruction."
"This seems to be just as much about inner peace as it is physical exercise. I have gained a new respect for the topic after watching the video. . . . If you are looking for a VERY low-impact exercise system that will, at the very least, improve your flexibility and peace of mind, pick this up and follow along."
"Throughout the text one becomes aware of this kind, gentle, but relentless dedication to taking the reader, trainee or initiate, to new and higher levels of achievement. At no point is there any sense of the beginner's limitations, only a sense of promise ahead and the value inherent in working towards clear goals. . . . while being a book artfully designed to meet the needs of a contemporary, pressured, and chaotic experience, Shaolin Qi Gong: Energy in Motion is also a book that is likely to introduce many to the wisdom of Buddhist spirituality and to the disciplines of perhaps today's most fabled form of martial arts."
"The book alone will be enough for most beginners to learn the basic moves and begin practicing them right away. A marvelous bonus, however, is the DVD that accompanies the text. . . . The music, based on the pentatonic scale, is particularly soothing, adding to the sense that there is no rush, no right or wrong, and no need to fret about perfection while practicing qi gong. . . . I've tried other books and DVD courses, in the past, but none of them has given me the natural flow of qi gong. . ."

Read an Excerpt
The Eternal Lightness of Being The Essence of Qi Gong
The concept "Qi Gong" (pronounced Chi Gung) is expressed by two Chinese characters:
Qi = life energy
Gong = work
Qi Gong therefore logically means work with life energy, which is known as Qi in China, Prana in India, Odem in some areas of the West, and often simply "energy" in modern language.
According to the Chinese conception, there is a cosmic intelligence living in the Qi. It lives in all things that exist naturally--humans, animals, plants, and minerals. Only its form of vibration changes depending on the form of manifestation.
According to the Chinese masters, every person is therefore born with a certain potential for life energy, with a certain initial capital of Qi. Everyday stress, unhealthy lifestyles, injuries, and major operations exhaust the human life energy capital to the extreme. Qi Gong is a simple technique for regaining the lost energy, reversing the deficit, and making normal life possible again.
Shi Xinggui Qi Gong
A few years ago, a physician who was taking Shi Xinggui's course asked him how he might imagine an "internal morning shower" as a complement to external morning bathing. Shi Xinggui answered with the following combination of movements and intensive abdominal breathing.
This series of exercises is a good morning program for waking up in body and spirit and going into your day well prepared. It can also be done at other times of the day. But because of its energy potential, it should not be done right before going to bed, or it will certainly be two to three hours before you can sleep.
In Qi Gong, only a minimum of muscular force is used. But in these exercises, it is very important to work with spiritual force. This spiritual force is called Yi in Chinese. Yi means not thinking of oneself; it might be better expressed as awareness, as an intuitive understanding. It means turning all your attention to the doing, and practicing the exercises with intuitive attentiveness.
The more consciously we go through the exercises with our focus and attentiveness, the more quickly and effectively our energy reserves will be filled.
At first, go through each exercise 2 or 3 times. Once you have become more familiar with the breathing technique, you can do it more often.
Breathing Energy
This is one of the oldest Chinese breathing techniques to be mentioned in writing. Its original name is Tûná or Tugú náxîn, which could be literally translated as "giving up the old and taking in the new."
- From the starting position, bend your knees down a bit more and form an imaginary energy ball in front of your body with both hands, about 20-30 centimeters in diameter. Between the two energy surfaces of your palms, an energetic contact emerges.
- Breathe in calmly and slowly, bringing this energy ball slowly up in front of your body to the neck area. You can also imagine that you are gently drawing energy upward from below. In doing this, stand up straight again. (Your knees remain loose.)
- Turn the palms of your hands down toward the earth. The energy is still there in your palms.
- Breathe out calmly and slowly, gently pressing the energy down with the palms of your hands. In doing this, bend your knees again, a bit more deeply. The fresh energy flows into your reservoir, your Dantian, and the used energy automatically flows out through your feet. Then repeat this succession of movements.
In order to be better able to take in energy, you can curl your toes a bit each time you breathe in, then spread them again as you breathe out. This curling makes a dimple appear in the front third of the sole (this is the location of the acupuncture point Kidney 1). Used energy is let out through this point, and fresh energy taken in. This movement is also good for the energy flow of the legs.
Note: Be especially attentive when breathing out, so that the energy can really sink downward. If you become lightheaded, immediately turn your attention to your feet, root yourself deeply in the earth, and breathe in. You will feel better right away.
Your lungs are filled with fresh Qi, which can spread from there throughout the whole body.
- Continue standing with your legs shoulder width apart. Check again to make sure all your joints are supple and relaxed, your pelvis slightly forward, and your tongue touching your palate. Tense your pelvic floor muscles a bit.
- Breathe in and go into a light crouch. As in the previous exercise, form an energy ball with your hands. Again, lift up the energy and your hands level with the base of your neck in front of your body, straightening up.
- Breathe out while bringing your hands around to the back of your neck, without moving the rest of your body, until your hands touch the "great vertebra point" (Chinese: Daz Hui). This is at the often prominent vertebra that marks the transition between the neck vertebrae and the thoracic vertebrae. Without interrupting the movement, bring up your hands, behind your head, until they are above your head.
- Make brief contact with the energy point at the top of your head, "heaven's gate" or Bai Hui.
- Now your hands, above your head, grasp a ball of heavenly energy. Bend your knees slightly and breathe in.
- Now, as you breathe out, bring down this energy slowly in front of your body. Your palms face the floor and your legs slowly straighten up again.
In order to boost the energy cycle, it is important to create a connection between the "great vertebra point" (Daz Hui) and the base of the skull. This supports the energy flow to "heaven's gate" (Bai Hui).

Learn to Correctly Setup MIDI in Pro Tools 10
Setting up MIDI in Pro Tools
Once you've added and configured all of your MIDI devices in your MIDI Studio Setup, there are few things to take care of in Pro Tools to make using MIDI easier. First, let's go to the Setup menu. Choose MIDI > Input Devices. Here you'll see the MIDI Input Enable window where all of your devices should be checked off; if they are not, check them. These are the devices that actually input MIDI data into Pro Tools. You won't see any devices on this list that are just sound modules and that don't create MIDI data, only devices that actually create the MIDI data.
Your window will probably look a little different than mine here, with different devices, but just make sure that they are all checked off. Then click OK. Next, go the Options menu and make sure that MIDI Thru is checked off. This allows you to monitor MIDI tracks while recording them. When using MIDI Thru, disable Local Control on your MIDI devices; otherwise they may receive the same MIDI data twice, creating...

Humor, rather than romance, abounds in this audio play performed in front of a live audience. From its "Who's on First"-meets-Shakespeare introduction to its surprising and irrelevant ending, Romancewill leave listeners laughing uproariously at the running gags, outrageous language and amusing tangents. Fred Willard as a befuddled, overmedicated and pontificating judge hosts this kangaroo court of love affairs, foreign affairs and bigotry so blatant that it would be appalling if it wasn't so satirical. The defendant has discovered the key to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, but unless he can get court to adjourn, his plans will be wasted. The small but talented cast (including Noah Bean, Ed Begley Jr., Gordon Clapp, Steven Goldstein, Rod McLachlan and Rob Nagle) possess perfect timing and delivery. While the gross and vulgar language may scare some listeners away, its nonchalant execution dissolves its venom and infuses humor. Dirty and delicious, listeners will find this audiobook ending sooner than they will desire. (May)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Arms and the Man based on 0 ratings. 6 reviews.
I first read it as a textbook as a graduate and got swept by it at the first reading itself! Typically 'Shavian'. its originality struck me so much that I find it still interesting after fifty years of my first reading. Witty dialogues, non-conventional treatment of a hero and exposing the melodrama of love and the true nature of heroism and particularly, war heroes...this book will remain forever a compulsory reading for theater lovers across the world.
I was determined to read this book because of the title's allusion to ancient Roman poetry, and because of Shaw. I was also apprehensive because plays scare me, but, as I soon found out, there was nothing to be scared of. It was a wonderful play, funny too. I'm glad I read it.
One of the finest books i have ever read. I first read this play as graduate student in the Year 1990 and since then read it many number of times over the years. Though the play was written more than 100 years back, very apt for today's world
