Thanks Joe.

Cars Coming Soon: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
February 23rd, 2012
Do you have trouble keeping straight the seemingly endless stream of Bugatti Veyron versions? The more we hear of the Veyron's impending demise, the more we hear about the next special edition rolling off the line in Molsheim.
The first edition of the Veyron debuted for the 2005 model year. That is now known as the Veyron 16.4, or "base" version, if you can call anything with 16 cylinders, 1,001 hp and a starting price of $1.7 million "base." Since 2005, the Veyron has been produced in versions of varying performance and differing stages of ugliness. Those are:

Loving it. I picked up the EP they put out a while back and I thought it was fantastic. I think I heard about it on here as well. I'm definitely interested in hearing more.

When I was in Greece (of all places) people were asking me about this album and Guante because they heard the song on our front page. In such an activist-heavy community, people are hungry for this kind of hiphop. When I told them I wasn't sure if I should perform certain songs of mine because they deal specifically with America's problems, they assured me that a lot of the content translates to their own situation. I suspected as much, but I'm still on edge when performing songs like Makeshift Patriot and Slow Down Gandhi in foreign countries. That said, people were eating it up. I also learned that people are using RapGenius to help them understand the lyrics and, sometimes, the meanings of songs. They're very particular about whether a rapper is actually saying something substantial or not. I love that.

Definitely want to check this out. Ready for something new... And an album that doesn't mention Basquiat. Nothing against the guy, I am just sick of the trend in hiphop.

Who loves you pretty baby? When it comes to the Broadway smash "Jersey Boys," the answer is pretty much everybody.
More than 20 million people have doo-wopped their hearts out at the Des McAnuff-directed jukebox masterpiece which combines the greatest hits of the Four Seasons with a irresistible triple shot of energy, chutzpah and nostalgia. The 2006 Tony winner for best musical, which has held court in San Francisco many times over the years, finally makes its South Bay debut as part of the Broadway San Jose series.
Hard on the heels of Clint Eastwood's movie version of the musical, this national touring production runs through July 20 at the Center for the Performing Arts, which is not exactly the perfect venue for a show that's built on high-wattage personal electricity, but it seems nothing can diminish the unstoppable "Jersey Boys" juggernaut.
McAnuff, also the force behind "Tommy," is a genius at pacing. While the coming-of-age tale can seem a little formulaic, as rags to riches stories of corner boys from New Jersey are hardly new, the galvanic thrust of the score keeps your heart racing. The plot and music are so tightly intertwined that you almost don't notice the stitched-together bits in the narrative.
Certainly Hayden Milanes' Frankie Valli has the audience wrapped around his finger from the first hint of that earth-shattering falsetto to the last wowzer in a hit parade that includes "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man." Even those of us who don't remember the glory days of the boy band can't help toe-tapping at numbers like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Oh, What a Night."
Of course, the score has even more impact with its target audience and many a Baby Boomer was singing along (sometimes off key) at Tuesday's opening night performance.
Make no mistake this is a perfectly orchestrated feel-good machine that delivers even though this cast has less intense charisma than earlier incarnations and there are points in the first act that lack punch.
The musical charts the coming of age of the boys as it moves through the four seasons. The band has its spring as hungry young guns in the '50s eager to make their bones on the rough streets of Jersey, a place where gangs and goodfellas ruled. There's a revolving door between the joint and the street and it's sheer luck that tough guy Tommy DeVito (a tart turn by Nicolas Dromard) doesn't end up in the slammer before he gives Valli his big break and takes the stoic Nick Massi (Adam Zelasko) along for the ride. Once they join forces with a songwriting wunderkind teenager named Bob Gaudio (Quinn VanAntwerp), the quartet gets propelled to the top of the charts.
For the record, they got the band's name from a burned-out neon sign over a bowling alley and not, as you might suspect, from Vivaldi's seminal work.
While this touring production doesn't have enough snap in between the songs, and some of the more poignant parts of the story feel underdone, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice's book has surprising wit and depth. The musical captures both the grit of coming from working class roots and the messiness of getting addicted to the high life.
Milanes' has a dizzying range that helps him pull off the show's vocal pyrotechnics. Still he doesn't quite flesh out Valli's journey from starry-eyed lad to fallen idol and there's not enough chemistry between him and Dromard and VanAntwerp. Without a palpable sense of a deep bond between the lads, it's hard to invest in the group's rise and fall.
Several supporting players also really shine here, such as Marlana Dunn as Valli's brassy first wife Mary Delgado, Barry Anderson as flamboyant record producer Bob Crewe and Ian Joseph as a scrappy young Joe Pesci (yes, that one).
If there's not as much high-voltage magnetism here as there should be, it's still by far the best jukebox musical ever.

Notes from CANSCAIP Meeting on June 8, 2016
To give out-of-towners an opportunity to attend, CANSCAIP's Toronto meetings are occasionally held outside the city. Our meeting on June 8 was held at Durham College in Whitby, and many members from the area, including Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Kawartha Lakes, and Peterborough were there, along with some from Toronto and Burlington.
The meeting was preceded by a fixed-price dinner prepared by the culinary students at the college's Bistro 67 restaurant.
Kat Mototsune, the kids editor at James Lorimer Publishers, was scheduled to speak about diversity in publishing but cancelled due to illness. However, the topic was well-covered at the meeting with the attendees participating in a lively and wide-ranging discussion on defining and demystifying diversity. We'll arrange for Kat to speak at a future meeting in Toronto.
President Sharon Jennings hosted the meeting and co-recording secretary Saumiya Balasubramaniam took notes.
Member Announcements: New Books and Projects
Administrative Director's Announcements (Helena Aalto)
Discussion on Diversity in Publishing
The floor was then open to discussion on the topic of diversity. Among the issues discussed:
Sharon Jennings concluded the meeting by stating that we should all focus on good writing.
Edward Willett, author of over 50 books for young people including two acclaimed YA Fantasy series (Masks of Agyrima and Shards of Excalibur) will be giving a talk on Writing Young Adult Fantasy on May 30 at 1 pm CST.
You can watch in person at the Saskatchewan Writers Guild office in Regina, SK, or online at http://livestream.com/accounts/13896824 . The talk will be archived for three weeks afterwards on livestream.
Details are at https://skcanscaip.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/ed-willetts-online-workshop-may-30-2016/.

Notes for Meeting May 11th, 2016
Recording Secretary : Anne Laurel Carter (www.annelaurelcarter.com)
Our Vice-President, Jennifer Maruno, chaired the meeting and began by welcoming visitors and new members.
New Creations:
Stepping Into Traffic, fiction by Karen Rankin for ages 13 + from Thistledown Press about a sixteen year old boy who plans to make good in his eighth foster home.
Helena Aalto announced that our PYI annual conference will be held Sat Nov 19th at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, downtown Toronto at Shuter & Victoria close to the subway and the Eaton's Centre.
Helena reminded us that CANSCAIP is providing some of the programming at the Canadian Writers' Summit at Harbourfront June 16th - 19th, 2016.
The deadline for the new Writing for Children competition for unpublished writers is July 31st, 2016.
Note: Our meeting location on June 8th only will be Durham College in Whitby (near Hwy 401). All are welcome at the dinner in the College with our speaker Kat Mototsune, the editor for children and teens at Lorimer Books.
Speakers Panel:
Jennifer Maruno introduced this evening's panel of speakers:
Don Aker from Nova Scotia (right), Karen Bass Alberta (centre), and Charis Cotter from Newfoundland (left). These authors were visiting Toronto for the as nominees for the Ontario Library Association's Forest of Reading Awards, and CANSCAIP President Sharon Jennings arranged for them all to come to our meeting.
Jennifer asked the panel the following questions:
1) Describe your writing environment and how long you actually write.
2) Where did your desire to write come from?
3) What advice do you have for a writer who's maybe experiencing the doldrums?
4) Describe the ideal publisher.
5) Do you ever say no to your editor?
6) Do you work with a critique group?
Don Aker
1) Don wishes he was more disciplined but thinks every successful writer needs a "wife" (or supportive spouse). He wrote his first 2 novels writing from 5 - 6:30 am before his children got up and then worked all day as a teacher. He tours (now that he's retired) and feels he has less time for writing. But when he's home, he's an early riser, has breakfast with his wife, goes for a walk on the beach and then works straight until 4 pm.
2) He became a writer because he didn't know how to teach writing and had to in the classroom. He went back to do his Masters and one of his courses was the Martha Vineyard 2 week Writers' Course where he had to face a blank page and create/write every day and read something at the end of the 2 weeks. The instructor told him his piece was publishable and he started writing and struggling WITH his students. Writing a story with the critiquing support of a class, he won the Atlantic Writing Competition and didn't look back.
3) Don quoted Phillip Pullman saying Plumbers don't get plumbers block, Writers don't get writers' block. It's a matter of putting one word down after another. Don remembers writing a novel about a young man coming to terms with his brother's suicide and feeling stuck about the scene where the boy found his dead brother. Sitting beside a woman on a plane, as usual he questioned her intensely and she told her story about seeing the towers come down in Manhattan and first reactions which were of shock. That conversation enabled him to write the scene: the boy would go and do something normal.
4) Don believes the most important quality is promotion. Harper Collins has had excellent editors who have helped him make the best book. They also helped him laugh at himself. Don suggests writing competitions are an excellent way to get exposure.
5) He had a book in 2012 he hated and asked the publisher to delay it. When he got a new editor, every suggestion she made was excellent and he trusted her and the book as a result was much better.
6) He had a critique group early in his career and liked it. He no longer does because he became too busy. His first reader is his wife whose opinion he respects.
Karen Bass
1) She has an office where she squirrels away to write a first draft. She feels she wastes her morning time on social media before settling down to work 2 - 10 pm. When she's doing research she has no schedule.
2) Karen was always an avid reader and when her daughter was four she went to work at the local library and took a writing course and got hooked.
3) Karen went through a crisis when there were medical emergencies in her family and had to set it aside. Karen thinks instead of trying to empty yourself on the page, go fill yourself up with reading or travelling or any kind of life experience.
4) Karen feels she has a great publisher, Pajama Press.
5) Karen feels they are mostly right although she has argued a historical fact when she knows she's right. She has hired a freelance editor.
6) Karen lives in a small community and has two trusted readers not a critique group.
Charis Cotter
1) She lives near the water 90 minutes from St. Johns and begins her day with a walk, thinking about the story. She often sits on her couch looking out over the water when she's not at her desk. She feels she's like a cat, getting tea, getting up, and finally settles down to a couple of hours in the morning, and couple in the afternoon 3-4 hours in a day. If she's editing a story she can spend longer.
2) Charis loved daydreaming as a child and put herself in her stories. As an adult she wrote her first novel for her nephew (which didn't get published). She worked freelance as an editor for publishers. It took her five years from her nonfiction books to make the switch to writing fiction.
3) Charis has recently thought about writers' block and her only advice is to persevere. If Charis is stuck she writes about anything, the weather, her family, anything. Keep at it.
4) Charis would like to be taken her out to expensive lunches, respect her ideas, listen, give her a great advance so she could live on it, they'd market and sell her books. Charis doesn't have an agent but uses Sally Keefe Cohen to negotiate her contracts.
5) Charis generally tries to trust her editors and consider their questions and suggestions although she will fight for something she feels strongly about.
6) Charis prefers to work on her own.
Award-winning author and professor of Children's Literature Beverley Brenna's presentation "Writing the World for Today's Kids: Diversity Essentials" is now available on YouTube!.
Beverley gave an overview of Canadian books that have characters with diverse abilities (all 134!) and provided 10 tips for writing about such characters. She also identified some gaps in topics in existing books, and read from some of her own work. Her website is http://www.beverleybrenna.com/ .

A week of inspiration and feedback for your YA Novel
with Anne Laurel Carter
at the University of Toronto Summer Writing School
Mon-Fri July 11 -15, 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
Downtown Toronto Campus
Helena Alto announced that our PYI annual conference will be held Sat Nov 19th at the Li Ka Shing Institute, downtown Toronto at Shuter & Victoria.
Don Aker, Karen Bass and Charis Cotter will be visiting Toronto from Nova Scotia, Alberta and Newfoundland and part of a lively and informative panel discussion for our May meeting.
Catherine Rondina introduced our two talented speakers and siblings, Ann and David Powell. They formed Puppetmongers Theatre in1974 and have become internationally recognized and awarded for their decades of fine work.
Ann began their presentation by showing us a gift she received from her brother when she was eight: her first marionette (with useful instructions in the box). They both loved playing with the dog on strings, received more puppets as gifts, and began making their own. Their puppet creations and story-telling grew as they did and both Ann and David eventually graduated from OCAD.
David showed us the first marionette he made as a boy: a wolf made of cardboard covered in cloth whose body could slink and pounce and whose jaws opened wide to reveal a long red tongue.
They love to perform on stage, visibly moving their puppets in front of a clever background set designed and built by them to enhance the story they are telling. They took their first show, The Miller, to Iran and came home to create a story and puppets fitted with rods into the back or into the top of the head based on a style of puppets from that country. Puppet bodies were rag doll and of different sizes to denote social status. They used cranking movie boxes in which the audience viewed pictures painted on a scroll of paper that enhance the story.
Invited to festivals, they became more and more inspired by creative ideas they'd seen around the world in Object Theatre. They showed us numerous video clips of their past performances to illustrate how they used shadow puppets on the wall to show violence and puppets made from fabric, wood, bricks, whatever material and tradition they needed to enhance the telling of a particular story. Large and small puppets can show characters in the foreground or the background of the story setting.
Ann often uses ideas from fairy and folk tales to inspire her works. For both of them, the goal has been to tell stories to contemporary audiences in historical ways that spoke of a slower and more relaxed time.
They don't tend to sketch but see the puppets in their heads, then make them. They also don't start by writing out a script but use storyboards to visually help them tell the story, then create the puppets needed as characters. Then the puppets tell them what they will say. As puppeteers, they are on stage and part of the show. They visibly move the puppets' bodies and arms (which have no joints). David explained that he feels and directs the puppets' movements from his fingertips.
In the eighties (as now) when funding collapsed for their performances in schools, they diversified their work and began performing live in theatres. They continue to create and performed shows for adults, families, and children and offer workshops to other puppeteers and the general public called: Teach Your Puppet To Act.
Puppeteers often start their careers as children who discover the delight of acting out a story using puppets as their characters. Watching Ann and David perform and interact throughout their unique presentation gave us the magical sense that we were watching a brother and sister who were lucky, talented and creative enough to maintain a life-long enjoyment of playing and telling stories to each other as children.
Children's author and professor Beverley Brenna will give ten tips for writing about differently-abled kids. Her award-winning fiction portrays characters with exceptionalities and her perspectives call for titles that reflect contemporary kids with diverse abilities.
If you live in Regina, Saskatchewan, you can attend this talk live on Monday April 25, 2016 at 2 pm at the Saskatchewan Writers Guild office. If you aren't fortunate enough to live there, or if you can't come then, you can watch Bev's talk online live or for about two weeks afterwards.

Minute Notes: Saumiya B.
Our president, Sharon Jennings, began by welcoming all present (and we were a big crowd) and recollecting how she started off her career with her first book published by Annick Press.
Past-president Karen Krossing shared key takeaways from her attendance at the international SCBWI conference attended by over 1200 members. Karen noted the following:
Jane Yolen – Spoke about the importance of re-invention and genre hopping.
William Joyce—This award-winning author/illustrator and filmmaker spoke on new media and how it is bringing democracy to storytelling.
The kid's division publisher's panel noted that the climate on kid's books is good, and the Indies are not going away. Trends are now on new media.
Gary D.Schmidt – author of Orbiting Jupiter talked about writing to express and engender empathy in a broken world.
Kathy Rondina extends her invitation to all to enroll for her course at George Brown in Creating Non-Fiction for Children.
Theo Heras then introduced Rick Wills who founded Annick Press in 1975 with Anne Millyard. Annick Press, which doesn't turn away from difficult themes, has been called a publisher built on kindness, warmth and compassion. Theo would add intelligence and innovation as well. She invited Rick to speak to us and let us know how he did it for 40 years.
Rick began with a quick history of Annick. He and Anne co-founded Annick with deep concerns that Canadian values and sensibilities were not being reflected in books. They began well with great reception and coverage on national news—until their volunteering accountant announced they were near bankruptcy. Rick had to learn a different sort of "books" to avoid disaster!
How is Annick unique?
It is an owner-managed publishing company. Rick looks out for good books, distinctive literature. Annick publishes 25 books per annum. Last year it received close to 90 awards and citations. Rick insists that Annick remain an editorially-driven company, but it is always changing. For Annick and most Canadian publishers, 66-67% of sales are to the US. He also said that books are becoming more focused on the visual; the present generation is processing more visually.
Rick is a little pessimistic about changes in the industry and publishing pressures. Right here in Ontario, Grade 3 and Grade 6 EQAO reading standards are dropping. Rick went on to highlight that what kids read doesn't matter as long as they read. Reading for pleasure is the key. 80% of students who met reading standards in grade 3 and grade 6 went on to pass grade 10 and were reading for fun for more than one hour.
Figures from the UK show that kids who read for fun are faring better in school.
Dr.Stephen Krasher's research in the field proves that kids who read fare better both academically and socially. They have more empathy, are informed voters, and are better at critical and analytical thinking.
Rick emphasized that initiatives such as The National Reading Campaign and events such as those supported by TD will help improve skills of good readers.
Oftentimes economic factors affect student outcomes, but reading books can even counteract the effects of poverty. Rick's biggest frustration is that society doesn't understand the phenomenal social good that comes out of reading.
Some problems that face publishers today:
E-books are not the answer according to Rick.
If authors and publishers can give the public powerful, relevant stories that connect, we can be part of the conversation about contemporary issues. Annick tries to do this and producing books about difficult subject and diversity is part of its identity.
For Authors
Rick then spoke of the importance of writing what you want to write about. He emphasized the importance of query letters. Even after you have convinced an editor, it will be used to sell the book to the sales team.
He said it is important for creators to know their competition, to check out other books. One thing he stresses is to never tell readers to think. As writers, we must help them to connect the dots.
Rick then went out to list some of Annick's key non-fiction titles, books that set out to change the conversation.
In closing, Rick emphasized Annick's collaboration with the Top Grade program, which Catherine Mitchell told us about at a previous CANSCAIP meeting. It is an initiative that helps to bring Canadian Books to Canadian kids. Rick believes educators need help in getting good books that connect to their curriculum. He also believes kids must be given choices.
Questions from The Audience
Q: What is the market like for YA Non-Fiction?
Rick said that the book needs to be very well done and ensure that subject matter ties in to curriculum. He also re-stated the importance of an impressive cover letter.
Q: A member from the audience alluded to Rick's mention of Dr.Stephen Krasher and highly recommended his book The Power of Reading.
Q: Kids are visual. Is Annick doing graphic novels?
With most graphic works they do, the writer is also the illustrator. Although they are expensive to produce, the market is growing.
Q: Does Annick do Middle Grade?
There is a healthy market, but publishers need a critical mass of Middle Grades to do well. They are focusing on YA in novels.
Q: From the 25 books published yearly by Annick, what percent comes from the slush pile?
It varies. There is no quota—just as it happens.
Q: How do illustrators approach Annick?
Send in samples to the Art Director, Sheryl Shapiro.
Theo thanked Rick and said (rightly so) that we were fortunate to have Rick speak to us. Join us in April for The Puppet Mongers and in May for a panel out-of-town guests here for The Forest of Reading awards.
CANSCAIP in partnership with The Writers' Union of Canada, is pleased to announce the winners and finalists of the 18th annual Writing for Children Competition.

The juries were comprised of bestselling authors Anne Laurel Carter, Ruth Ohi and Kathy Stinson (Picture Book / Early Reader Jury) and Barbara Greenwood, Susin Nielsen and Arthur Slade (Chapter Book / Middle Grade / Young Adult Jury). The first-round and second-round readers were: Karen Autio, Lena Coakley, Don Cummer, Aubrey Davis, Theo Heras, Susan Hughes, Sharon Jennings, Janet McNaughton, Jennifer Mook-Sang, Bev Rosenbaum, Valerie Sherrard, Jocelyn Shipley and Ted Staunton. CANSCAIP is grateful for the support and participation of these Members.
The 2016 Writing for Children Competition will be announced in April.
MEETING NOTES: Wednesday, February 10, 2016
President's Remarks
President Sharon Jennings welcomed a surprisingly large crowd to the blustery February meeting. She noted that many in attendance in January had mentioned how much they learned about estate planning for creators with lawyer Marian Hebb. This topic might be a future all day seminar.
Tonight, Sharon's 'monologue' (or 'rant' she intimated) was on the subject of writing letters to the editors of newspapers concerning the dismal lack of coverage for children's literature. Sharon read out a couple of her letters that The Toronto Star did print, and a couple that they did not. Two themes emerged: reviews claiming that a book for adults is breaking new ground, when in fact a Canadian children's book had already done so; and the Star's unwillingness (despite letters to the editor) to separate juvenile books into two lists – Canadian and international – as they do for adult titles. Sharon told us that when Member Lena Coakley's The World of Ink and Shadows was number one on the juvenile list, the Star chose a photo of a Wimpy Diary title to showcase.
An audience member suggested that the CANSCAIP office alert us to any such issues in order that we may inundate a newspaper with our letters.
Sharon asked any newcomers to introduce themselves, and we met several arts students from Seneca and Centennial, all keen to hear Gary Clement.
Rick Wilks of Annick Press will be our guest speaker.

Guest Speaker Gary Clement
Award-winning political cartoonist and children's illustrator/author Gary Clement gave an inspiring, entertaining and informative presentation on his work and career. Gary first discussed his 18 year and still-going-strong stint as a political cartoonist for The National Post, outlining the challenges of creating insightful and topical cartoons on a tight deadline. (He does five per week!) He gave us a sneak preview of the next day's cartoon, and mentioned that the U.S. Republican candidates are a cartoonist's dream come true.
For this audience, Gary focused on being a children's book illustrator and author, working mainly with publisher Groundwood Books. Gary has been illustrating children's books since 1991, starting with Get Growing by Candace Savage. He talked mainly about the three books The Great Poochini, which won the Governor General's Award for illustration in 1999, Oy Feh So? (written by Cary Fagan), and his newest book, Swimming, Swimming, which is based on the well-known camp song, and which the audience gleefully sang out loud.
We learned about Gary's creative process as well as the materials that he prefers to use when drawing and painting. Gary works in watercolour and inks with Speedball pen and ink, and he prefers to use Hot Press paper because there is less texture in the paper, and the art appears cleaner and smoother when printed. Gary also discussed the challenges of getting watercolours 'just right' when checking proofs for printing.
Gary also informed us that he has succeeded with his goal in life: to never feel that he has a 'job'!
For January 13, 2016
"Many of us don't think about our careers beyond our next royalty cheque," said CANSCAIP President Sharon Jennings as she began the January meeting, "but tonight we're here to talk about what happens to our work in the long term—about how we can control and protect our careers even after we are gone."
Our guest for the evening was Marian Hebb, here to talk about Estate Planning for Creators.
The NEWS is here!
Sharon directed us to the latest issue of CANSCAIP NEWS, which includes her column on being in despair as a creator, Marsha Skrypuch's "Meet the Professional" interview with Forest of Reading director, Meredith Tutching, and VP Lena Coakley's article on "Worldbuilding for Fantasy Authors." The featured creator is two-time GG winner, Caroline Pignat.

In the interest of supporting each other, the CANSCAIP office is now announcing events like book launches through the CANSCAIP email. Tell the office about your upcoming events and we would happy to spread the news! We'd like to support each other. (Email email@example.com)
Canadian Writers' Summit
Helena, our administrative director, informed us that CANSCAIP will be part of a new multi-organization conference that will take place June 16-19. There will be sessions on writing craft, aboriginal writers, cover design, copyright issues etc. Kenneth Oppel will be CANSCAIP's keynote speaker on the 18th and Jean Little will be the Writers Union keynote.
Packaging Your Imagination
Our annual conference will be back at Humber in November. Dates to be announced.
Writing for Children Competition
We had a record number of entries this year which has resulted in a few delays. Winners will be announced in February.
Volunteers Needed!
Are you interested in volunteering for CANSCAIP? We need help in the following areas:
Email Helena if interested. Volunteers do not need to be local to the Toronto area.
Teresa Toten's novel, The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B, has won ALA's Schneider Family Book Award, given to a book that embodies the disability experience.
The legendary Paulette Bourgeois took the floor. "It's been a long time since I stood up with a new book," she said. Paulette told us that after her success with the Franklin series, she went back and did an MFA in creative writing for screenwriting. Though many of her screenplays have been optioned, none were made. However, she was asked to write a novelization of producer Anne Tait's film, Iron Road. Her new book Li Jun and the Iron Road is is a historical novel for young adults about a Chinese girl who dresses as a boy and joins thousands of Chinese men blasting a path for the new railway through the "impassable" Rocky Mountains. From Dundurn Press.
Vice President Lena Coakley told us about her new book, Worlds of Ink and Shadow. The book is a YA portal fantasy based on the fantasy worlds created by the famous Bronte siblings. Lena did quite a bit of research for the book including traveling to the Bronte parsonage in Yorkshire twice, where she was allowed to study in the parsonage archives.
Jennifer Maruno was delighted to announce that she had completed the third book in her series about Michiko Minagawa, a girl of Japenese heritage living in Canada around the time of the second world war. Cherry Blossom Baseball was launched this month to a large crowd. In this installment Michiko must once again adjust to a new situation as the only Japenese student in her school—until Eddie Adams, seeing her amazing baseball skills encourages her to try out for the all boys local team. When the truth comes out, there are consequences to face. She has to make a decision: Play ball amid all the harassment, or pitch like she's never pitched before. From Dundurn.
Paulette Bourgeois introduced our speaker, saying, "I have known Marian Hebb since 1986. A publisher was interested in my new book, then called The Turtle They Called Chicken. I joined the Writers Union and saw they had a brochure called "Help Yourself to a Better Contract." I turned it over, saw Marian's name, and decided then and there to hire her to negotiate my contract.
Since then Marian has worked tirelessly for authors. If you have received an Access Copyright payback, you should thank Marian because she was instrumental in securing those rights for authors. She is a founder and past chair of Artists' Legal Advice Services, a governor of the Canadian Copyright Institute, and a member of the joint copyright legislation committee of the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada and the Canadian Bar Association.
There is now an Access Copyright research grant in the arts in her name (The deadline has been extended to February 16th if you are interested!), and she was the lawyer for the heirs of the LM Montgomery estate.
"You own copyright," Marian began. "This distinguishes you from many others who make wills."
Marian went on to advise us that in Canada, everyone should have a will. However, she told us a surprising fact. Many writers and illustrators who DO have wills, forget to mention copyright! Often a lawyer may not know to advise you on this important consideration. Remember to bring this up when making a will.
If you will be making a will soon, here are some things to consider thoroughly:
1) Figure out what is part of your literary estate. Keep good records for your heirs. Upon your death your executors should have all your contracts and other information such as lists of where your work is published, your latest royalty statements, your agency contract, etc. DON't give your current contracts to an archive because they won't be able to find them when needed. DON'T rely on your publisher to have copies of contracts. This is not their responsibility.
Keep in mind that your copyright assets also include stories in anthologies, joint authorship, and sound recordings of your work.
2) Do you need a literary executor?
Some people will name a literary executor in addition to their executer. This person would handle all matters regarding your works under copyright.
Family members are the first place to look for a literary executor. They have an interest in keeping your work alive. Young family members such as a grandchild might be a good choice as your heirs will own copyright for many years into the future.
If you don't name a literary executor, your general executor will take on the task of dealing with your copyrighted work. This may be fine for you as well. A middle-ground option would be to name a "literary advisor" who wouldn't have legal rights but can advise your executor.
3) Consider: What happens when those executors are gone? If you appoint a literary executor and they die, their executor becomes yours. Do you want that?
4) Consider: Do you want the work you haven't finished destroyed? Kept? Continued by someone else? If you are an artist/illustrator, what do you wish to happen to your unsold work?
Because you don't know how publishing will change after you die, it's sometimes better to leave some of these decisions to your executors and heirs. Often it's preferable to find an executor you trust than to try to lock-in your decisions in your will. You can direct your executor with a letter that is not legally binding but which spells out your wishes.
About Your Copyright
Marian ended with a wrap-up of what she considers her three most important points:
Have a will!
Have the word copyright in your will!
Keep copies of current contracts!
Our next meeting will be on February 10th and will be in Illustrators' Night with Gary Clement!

Feeling too pinched by the ever-troubled economy to travel? You can still find good deals to get away — if you know where to go online first. Here are the best travel sites we've found to help you bag the best bargains on airfares, lodging, car rentals and all your other travel needs. Note: All but one of the following sites are free to use.
Best Travel Sites For: Lodging | Vacation Packages | Rental Cars | Other Resources
1) Kayak.com scours hundreds of online sources for the cheapest fare available. The more flexible you are on time and destination, the better your chances of finding a great deal. Search for dates up to three days before and after your ideal travel dates or on any weekends in the next year. And with the site's Explore tool, you can scan a world map for all the places you can reach within a specified per-ticket price range. It also lets you specify your preferred flight time, vacation activities (beach, gamble, golf or ski?) and weather (based on temperatures).
Kayak can also help you bite the bullet and buy your ticket, or not, with its "price predictor," which forecasts whether fares will go up or down. Enter your desired itinerary and the site will return a list of flight options, along with a recommendation to either buy now or wait for a fare drop. But the tool is not omniscient. Predictions appear with confidence rates and are limited to certain cities, round-trip, coach flights and specific time frames depending on your departure and arrival cities.
2) AirfareWatchdog works best for travelers ready to take off at the drop of a deal. The site has actual people lurking on airline Web sites in anticipation of fare sales. They sign up for rewards programs to snag promotional codes and discount offers that can be passed on to AirfareWatchdog users. Plus, the site includes fares from Southwest, Allegiant and other small airlines that may not appear on bigger search sites such as Kayak.
(Also, in November 2014, the site added a new service, Hotelwatchdog, which fetches hotel listings that offer great values, meaning they have prices lower than similar nearby hotels, good locations and favorable TripAdvisor reviews.)
3) WhichBudget.com will help you build an inexpensive, overseas flight plan by using local, budget airlines — a great way to save on international travel. Select your overseas starting point, end point or both, and the site will list airlines you've probably never heard of that service each route. For example, if you search for flights from Bangkok to Beijing, you'll get options from China Eastern and Hainan Airlines.
4) Several major airlines, such as American, AirTran and Jetblue, will refund you the difference, usually in the form of travel credits or vouchers, if the fare falls below what you paid for your ticket. Enter your flight information at Yapta.com, and the site tracks the fares for you. If the price dips below the threshold your specify, Yapta will shoot you an e-mail or Tweet and walk you through how to collect your refund.

Hi There,
When "keeping DTS in stream" using Mencode, playing MKV files with DTS results only in a lot of static noise. My Onkyo amplifier isn't exactly new, but I never had any problems with DTS video (using Blu-Ray DVD for instance...) in the past.
I can use LPCM remux, but then there is only the stereo stream, no 2ch. I'm using an optical cable from my PS3.
Anyone an idea?

Is the test server ever coming back? Are any of the changes going to hit the real server? Is there a time line? son=me information would be great. I think the community is feeling a little in the dark as to what the future holds. you guys were very great at communication early in the summer and it seems to have stopped.

LG Beats Samsung in OLED TV Race
LG Electronics is off to a good start this year – it beat larger rival Samsung Electronics in launching a 55-inch organic light-emitting-diode television.
While OLED TVs aren't new, companies have been struggling to mass produce larger models because of technology constraints. OLED TVs have more vivid displays than existing liquid crystal display models and enable companies to produce TVs with screens as thin as 4 millimeters.
However, analysts don't' expect brisk sales because they cost twice as much as a similar LCD TV.
LG first announced its plan to mass produce large-panel OLED TVs more than a year ago, and the lag suggests the world's second-largest maker of TVs encountered difficulties in bringing its plan to fruition.
LG Electronics' retail stores in South Korea will start taking orders this week for 55-inch OLED TVs, which are priced at 11 million won ($10,340) each.
"This is more for show," than boosting revenue, Hana Daetoo Securities analyst S.H. Chun said Wednesday, because the high price tag will deter many consumers from buying LG's 55-inch OLED TV.
Samsung, the world's top TV maker, already dominates the market for smaller-size OLED displays used in smartphones and other mobile devices, and the two Korean companies have been competing to launch 55-inch OLED television sets.
"With this OLED TV and the 84-inch ultra high-definition TV that LG released in August, the company will solidify its image as a front-runner in high definition TVs," Choi Sang-gyu, the head of LG Electronics' Korean marketing division, said in a statement.
LG said it will disclose the launch dates and prices for foreign markets over the next several weeks, while Samsung has yet to announce a sales date.
Mr. Chun said it's too early to predict whether OLEDs will replace LCDs as LG's main strategic tool in terms of display technology.
"This is significant in that it is proof of mass production," he said.
Japanese firms SonyPanasonic Sharp, and Toshiba have spent years developing OLED technology and are struggling to commercialize it. In an attempt to close the gap on their Korean rivals, Sony and Panasonic—which were bitter rivals–agreed to an alliance in June to jointly develop OLED production technology.
Because of the technological difficulties in mass producing large-size OLED displays, many manufacturers seem to remain focused on ultra high-definition televisions, which promise four times the resolution of existing high definition LCD TVs.
Last year, LG launched the world's largest UHDTV, which was priced around $23,000. UHDTVs are likely to be a hot topic at next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and many analysts expect Samsung to unveil an 85-inch UHDTV TV at the event.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month...and thousands of cases are reported every year in Georgia.
The Columbia County Exchange Club is working to bring that number down. News 12's Stephanie Baker is on your side with their unique approach to raise awareness.
Washington Road is a busy place during Masters Week. If you drove it Saturday morning, you might have noticed rows of pinwheels at the intersection of Washington and Bobby Jones Expressway.
Bright spinning pinwheels bring happy memories of childhood for many. But now they're taking on a new role. Each one represents one of the 171 Columbia County children abused in 2004.
"By putting these up, it will cause people to think hey, that's a lot of cases in Columbia County," says Exchange Club president Jeff Asselin. He hopes the flashy display will shed light on the roughly 50,000 Georgia kids abused in 2004.
"It will cause parents to think 'I don't need to abuse my kid'," he says.
It worked for driver Earl Houston...he pulled off the busy street to ask how he could help.
"I love kids and I wanted to do something," Houston said.
Walgreens worker Becky didn't want to give her last name. She says the busy location means lots of people see the display.
"I think it's a great thing for the community to see all the child abuse that does go on," Becky said.
The issue hits close to home for the volunteers. Asselin says most have kids of their own.
"We've all been to the abuse centers and volunteered time, and we've seen how kids are affected," he says.
They hope one day these pinwheels won't have to symbolize abuse...they can instead represent happy memories for all children.
Pinwheels for Prevention does this project every year, but this is the first time it's been in Columbia County. The Exchange Club will move the pinwheels to a new location every weekend throughout April. Next week they'll be at the Columbia County courthouse.

+1 for a downloadable version.
+1 for a downloadable version.
Just saying, I would for sure buy a copy if it was available.
You guys are killing me!
Also happy to pay for a download so I can use my tablet during sharpening +1
Definitely buy a digital download too!
So Mr Martell if enough of us want one either digital or other is there any possibility..... cause I'd be interested
For me this is tough because I want to supply what you guys want yet I have major problems with doing so while supplying a quality product.
The DVD set was recorded many years ago and is somewhat dated, the quality of the recording has never been very good as my nephew produced it while in college (film school) and many mistakes were made, and finally the duplicating of the DVD's has proven challenging and nearly stupid at times. My thought was to kill this product but then it occurred to me that I'd continue to make it available IF I could go with a digital download.
The idea with going digital is that I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of duplication which means a much lower cost to me which I could pass along to my customers and I would also feel less guilty about the quality of the recording - win win.
The reality of making the DVD's digitally downloadable has been problematic. My shopping cart does allow for this however the DVD's are too large in their current format and it appears (although I could be wrong about this) that I'll be hit with bandwidth charges which could be high enough to make this project financially impotent.
If anyone has an idea on what I can do here I'm all ears.
Yeah you're right, if there's any community that I've been apart of where this wouldnt be an issue, KKF is definitely it.

The Milk Crisis: Three Ways Big Dairy Can Turn The Tide
Americans are drinking less milk every year: average per-person consumption was down 3.3 per cent in 2011 and has fallen by almost 30% since 1975.
There are plenty of culprits: trendy new health and energy drinks, the rise of vegan, low-fat and lactose-free diets, and the popularity of alternatives like soy milk. Consumption of those kind of pseudo-milks was up almost 16% last year.
What to do? As the WSJ's Ian Berry and Kelsey Gee report, milk producers are firing back with new products: low-carb milk, high-protein milks, milk in different sizes and shapes and flavors to meet some of those niches being peeled away to alternatives. But on a deeper level, Big Milk needs to go on the offensive as other industries have done when faced by these kind of disruptions. A few examples:
Butter bounces back
Butter was long out of favor with cheaper, supposedly healthier margarine ascendant and new olive oil-based spreads taking their own share of the market. But Butter Is Back. From AdAge, back in June:
Grocery-unit sales of butter grew 2.19% in the year ending May 13, compared with a 0.21% uptick in olive oil and a 6.24% decline in margarine, spreads and butter blends, according to SymphonyIRI data, which excludes Walmartles. Overall, butter led with $1.5 billion in sales during the period, followed by $1.4 billion for margarine/spreads and $706 million for olive oil.
What's behind the resurgence? Margarine had the wind knocked out of its sails by its association with transfats, which plenty of health experts ended up concluding were as troublesome — and perhaps more so — than the animal fats found in butter. The butter industry did its part by promoting its product as a natural, honest, old-fashioned stuff made from churned milk, reminding consumers that margarine is an industrial-age invention involving hydrogen gas and finely-ground nickel. And the foodie craze was a helping hand: shoppers became more interested in their produce, particularly in organic products. And just like that, butter was back.
Revenge of the Sugar
Artificial sweeteners, low-calorie diets, an abundance of corn syrup: it wasn't looking good for sugar. And while the entire market declined in the last decade, sugar has been doing better than its competitors. From the WSJ in 2010:
Per-capita consumption of all caloric sweeteners has dropped about 12% over the past decade as diet-conscious consumers shifted to bottled water or products containing artificial sweeteners. But consumption of corn-derived sweeteners sank at a much faster rate—20%—than did refined sugar, which dropped 3%.
Indeed, according to statistics compiled by the U.S. Agriculture Department, sugar refined from beets and sugar cane is winning back some of the beverage market it lost in the 1980s when Coke and Pepsi embraced high fructose corn syrup for its lower cost. Refined sugar represents at least 6% of the caloric sweetener in U.S. beverages compared to 3.7% in 2005.
Even though doctors and dentists worry about both regular sugar and corn syrup, "the sugar industry has made inroads with some consumers by labeling their corn-derived competition as an artificial sweetener because a lot of processing is involved in making high fructose corn syrup," the WSJ reported.
The war on high-fructose corn syrup was so effective — plenty of food producers, including Starbucks and Kraft, now publicly advertise that their products don't contain any of the stuff — that the corn lobby spent years pushing for regulators to allow them to re-brand their product as "corn sugar." This May, that request was turned down; the sugar and corn industries are also taking the fight to the courts over the term "corn sugar" being used in advertising.
Old-Fashioned Booze Returns
There have been plenty of new entrants to the alcohol market in recent decades, and Americans have developed their taste for wines, craft beers, pre-mixed drinks and all manner of imports. But which product is growing at twice the rate of its market?
Growth of the bourbon industry remained strong during the last 12 months Brown-Forman CEO Paul C. Varga said Wednesday during an investor conference call.
Responding to a question about the outlook for the industry, Varga said the bourbon industry's annualized growth rate is about 9 percent, in terms of dollars, during the last 12 months, while the U.S. spirits industry had a run rate of less than 4 percent.
"Bourbon and rye are now hip among young American trend-setters like we've never seen before," Charles K. Cowdery, the author of Bourbon, Straight: The Uncut and Unfiltered Story of American Whiskey told the NYT last December. That's down to a number of factors: some producers making more high-quality, limited release products for aficionados, others are putting out flavored bourbons for the newbies. The craze for single-malt Scotch whisky also helped, as bourbon producers reminded consumers that many of their products are also single malts.

"Wayne's World 3" may be on the way.
No way.
Website JoBlo reported that Mike Myers has finished a first draft of the script for the potential threequel, with Wayne and Garth back to star again.
It's tentatively titled "Wayne's World 3: Wayne and Garth Try Head Banging and Break Their Hips."
Well, if it's not, it should be.
The new story will reportedly focus on the pair coping with the new era of music, their transition from cable to the Internet, and Wayne working on his marriage to Cassandra.
That sounds about as uplifting as "Old Yeller."
There's been no official confirmation of the project being given a green light. According to IMDb, Myers' next project is the previously announced "Austin Powers 4" (which should be titled "Mike Myers Used to be Funny but Ran Out of Ideas").
Myers could use a career resurgence. Outside of voicing "Shrek," his well has largely gone dry the past decade or so.
In January, Dana Carvey said he would be interested in reprising his role as Garth if the opportunity arose. He could also use a career boost.

A follow up from my previous post. After a few days worth of trying to get packages like this to install.
I followed these instructions, and it installed pms 1.50. I then proceeded to compile the latest snapshot (1.72) from https://github.com/ps3mediaserver/ps3me ... r/BUILD.md -- after compiling, I replaced the 1.50 files with 1.72. Everything is working great.

Shalin Gandhi of Parkersburg High School receives a certificate from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin recognizing him as U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice.
"This isn't just an award or a title," U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said. "This is an ongoing mission for me, my office, our schools, our communities, and for each of these Ambassadors for Justice, so that together we can exert positive influences in our schools and communities," said Goodwin.
The U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice program was created by Goodwin last year in response to rising school bullying and social media threats involving young people. The program also was spurred by a February 2012 school shooting at Chardon (Ohio) High School where a student opened fire on his classmates, killing three and wounding two others.
Other episodes involving planned violent attacks by young people that were prevented due to the swift actions of students and school Prevention Resource Officers in the Southern District of West Virginia have also encouraged Goodwin's initiative.
Nominations to be U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice are made by school principals and administrative leaders. Goodwin said that outstanding character, devotion to citizenship, and a commitment to serving others are fundamentals for nomination.
