Myke Rivera
Graphic Designer/Artist
Wellington, FL
Wellington, FL
I am a graphics guy, I love working with people as much as I love working alone. I am at my best when creating. Let's create something together. Majority of my work has been done for non-profit organizations, campaigns, bands and freelance design (mostly logos, characters, tee shirts, social media/web elements and Art for fundraisers). I work independently though I have worked with (and managed) teams of paid employees and/or volunteers. I have 13 or more years experience working with backends and content management systems (so I have basic html knowledge even though most CMS's don't require as much). I have also grown, designed and developed social media pages. Other than that I'm free spirited, hard working and creative. My ideal work environment is a place where thoughts and ideas can be exchanged in a positive atmosphere, where we truly can work as a team. Otherwise working on my own projects remotely suits me. When Freelancing and working on other projects, I strive to deliver exactly what the client wants in the most timely fashion and will gladly produce references at your request. I'm always open for new projects and I am currently managing art as needed for a NY/NJ talent as well as providing imagery for social media outlets, and selling individual prints. I have recently learned "Sign Design" where I did design for everything from Speed Limit Signs (and various Road Signage for Communities) to ADA Signage, Plaques, Car wraps, window designs, Channel Letters, Box Signs, Monuments and Pylons (and a whole lot more). Also I have been able to learn a new program (CorelDraw) and pick up some new skills in production on the table (cutting, weeding, applying) and assisting on Installs (setting sign posts to the correct depth, leveling, cementing to hanging signs on buildings and installing faces in pylons). There is always so much to learn. CONTACT firstname.lastname@example.com or 561.379.3356 but it is far easier to contact me via email.

This is actually a perfectly cute little show. It is too bad it did not run more than one season. I had some copies in the past and had never watched them really and am just watching them now. It is not a brilliant sitcom, but let's face it, until the 70's with All in the Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, along with Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett (comedy variety there) the only really great sitcoms were I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show and Bewitched. But this is a very sweet show and although I am not having belly laughs, I am smiling at the end of each show. Too bad it did not last for a few seasons. It is certainly no worse than Mayberry RFD or F Troop or Gomer Pyle, all big hits at the time. Not as good as The Beverly Hillbillies or Green Acres, but not bad. It is very cute, very sweet, a nice little show with a little bit of zany.

I liked this show very much too. Grodin was very funny and at times very touching. He had his best friend as a producer or something, I don't recall, but he found a job for his best friend which was neat. I think he did the voice overs. Grodidn also touchingly said goodnight to his mother every night and that he loved her; very sweet. I do remember the first year it seemed there were more entertainment guests on, famous actors, with his friend Marlo Thomas being the first. It did get more political as time went on and became a bit of a different show. Very good still, but different. He also had great singers singing great songs at the end of each show, which was also a neat twist. If I remember it was on the same channel, either CNBC or MSNBC, either way it was the channel owned by conservative Roger Ailes. I think it was called the Everybody's talking network or something like that. Anyway, Roger had his own show too and then Grodidn came on later with his show, so allowing for lots of opinions and were respectful about it. They were a lot more polite than nowadays! I think the later political seasons, and I think the show was only on for a few years, led to Grodin being on 60 Minutes II in an Andy Rooney type bit.
I could not agree with the other reviewers more. Bob Costas was and is a great sportscaster and was also a great talk show host. Because he actually talked and let his guests talk too! And he knew everything about them and their whole body of work and you knew it was not just from doing research (and that was at a time when there was no internet to do the research anyway!). He is a very intelligent man and seemed very modest and kind; this came through in all of his interviews. I wish the show was still on. It was so much more easy going as a show than Charlie Rose, the only interviewer who did the same kind of show. Tom Snyder's show in the 90's was also very good, but again they were not Bob Costas and his Later show. Mr. Costas never appeared smug and was always a real gentleman. A great show with lots of great guests!

I would agree with the other reviewer here. Ann Blyth had a fairly long Hollywood career that was in several different stages: B musicals in the early part, dramatic roles that sometimes included such roles as Veda the evil daughter in Mildred Pierce, and then the later musicals and comedies she did starting in the late forties. This episode of Wagon Train, and she did 5 of these, was a very good one. It kind of combined all her talents to play the good, sweet daughter and her not so great mother, a tough saloon type lady. And as the other reviewer said, she got to sing in this. So she did her good girl role, her bad girl role and sang. All in one shot! Blyth's movie roles ended in 1957 and it is too bad she did not go on and do more movies as she was a very good actress. She did do some interesting TV work in this time period and this is one of the best. An excellent episode of the excellent Wagon Train series, which combined the regular characters of a Western with really great guest stars and always gave them a chance to shine as Blyth does in this one.
I disagree with some of the other reviewers here. I watched this last night and hope it turns into a series. It was very cute, very light, a nice family TV movie in the spirit of Spy Kids. Was it the greatest thing I have ever seen, no. Was it the worst thing, no. It was nice to see TV vets Patricia Richardson and LeVar Burton, 33 years now since Roots, believe it or not. Kellie Martin is a bit young to play the mother of teen ager, but she did it very well as always. She always shows class and grace in her roles and did very well in this cute family movie. It is what they refer to as a "back door" pilot and so if it did well they might turn it into a series. It would be better probably as a series of TV movies, similar to Mystery Woman, another Martin series. Nice to see something family oriented nowadays.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is the first episode of the many episode show, The Du Pont Show
with June Allyson, aka, The June Allyson Show. June only appeared in
about 1/3 of the shows and introduced the rest. It is a well produced
and very well cast show, with many big stars of the time in roles. June
was in some roles typical of her image on the show, but also some more
different shows and so that makes it interesting to watch this series.
This is the first episode, about a young widow and her mother in law, also a widow. They are named Ruth and Naomi, as in the woman and her mother in law in the Bible, of the famous "wither thou goest, I will goest, and where thou lodgest I will lodge and thy people will be my people." Similarly, this is about family love and how there are some in laws who are very loving. Allyson is afraid to get remarried and her mother in law encourages her to follow her heart. Allyson gives a nice performance, but the really stand out one is given by Harding, in particular her later scene on the stairs talking about love. A very touching performance and a typical one of this actress in the fifties on TV. She got (or maybe was willing to take) some very age appropriate roles and just offered some lovely, very positive performances in these little half hour playlets.
This was a lovely little episode, about a widow and mother whose son
and daughter in law move out of state and she has to rebuild her life.
How she does this is dealt with in a charming and creative screenplay
and offers a lovely performance by Ann Harding, who had the prettiest
speaking voice and got some really nice TV roles in the fifties and
early sixties. It is an episode of 1957, but for anyone trying to
rebuild a life, the issues it touches upon are timeless.
Harding was a very famous actress in the early thirties in Hollywood and played in a few movies we have heard of today (Holiday, When Ladies Meet, and The Animal Kingdom, all of which were remade in either the same or the next decade). By the late thirties she was in England making movies and by the early forties was in character roles (she tested for The Yearling and Mrs. Miniver but was cast in neither). She is very older lady looking in these fifties roles and that was rather amazing in Hollywood, an actress playing her age. But the roles are all lovely and her performances are really good in them. She acted much more at the time than many of her more famous contemporaries and the roles really hold up very nicely.

This was an excellent, lovely episode and a good example of why the show ran so long and was so good. It combined the best of anthology with the best of medical series, well written and performed in an underplayed way.This episode is about whether Dr. Kildare will go into research medicine after he is unable to save his friend and what the diagnosis is of the young Margaret, aka Mardy. It also gives a wonderful guest role to actress Barbara Bel Geddes, best known to us as the young daughter in I Remember Mama in her youth and Miss Ellie on Dallas in her later years. She is a research physician, at first seen as cold, later taking an interest in the girl who would have been the same as as her own daughter if her daughter had lived. This is played simply, discreetly, and touchingly. The show explores the issues of accurate diagnosis, doctors who do research as opposed to clinical work with patients, boundaries with patients, and the protégé relationship between Dr. Kildare and Dr. Gillespie, played wisely and warmly by Raymond Massey. The weekly TV series at the time gave a lot of great roles to guest stars and this is a prime example in the role and the customarily great performance by Bel Geddes.
I could not agree more with these other reviewers. The Dick Powell Show, later called the Dick Powell Theatre after his death, was a great show. Typical of Mr. Powell's shows in so many areas. Well cast, well directed, well acted, interesting shows, parts for actors of all ages (Gladys Cooper, Charlie Ruggles and Charles Bickford, all in lead roles), and wonderfully produced. There are some neat all star shows in particular, A time to Die, Special Assignment, Who Killed Julie Greer, Last of the Private Eyes. The shows had a wide range: shows about the cold war (Project X), family dramas (In search of a son), to light romantic comedies (View from the Eiffel Tower, featuring a lovely performance in a drama by Jane Powell, no relation to Mr. Powell!). Mr. Powell obviously liked to help his friends get work, which had ranged back to Four Star Playhouse, Stage 7, Star and the Story, Turn of Fate, June Allyson Show and Zane Grey Theatre. All of these were produced by Dick Powell's Four Star Productions and he cast basically every veteran actor and actress in Hollywood, all in great shows. He would have given us many more shows if he had lived longer and this show, Dick Powell Show, was really great and would have easily gone on, as the other reviewer said, for several more years.
This is a wonderful movie about the life of young Ruth Gordon, who would grow up to be an actress and famous writer. She was married to Garson Kanin and wrote many of the films of Tracy and Hepburn. Tracy is wonderful in one of his "dad" roles, as are the other leads in the film. Debbie Reynolds was originally to play Ruth but Simmons was cast instead and she is indeed brilliant in the movie. She is touching and very funny, very much a young girl driving her parents crazy. Tony Perkins is also very good as her boyfriend. Best of all, and not mentioned in most of the other reviews here, is Teresa Wright as the mother. She is a riot in the part and was only 11 years older than Simmons in real life. She had taken a reduction in pay for another great film, The Men, and this was one of her other really good parts in the fifties after so many great parts in the forties. The part is sort of like her last one, in The Rainmaker, as a simple kind of person. She played them wonderfully and was very funny in both.

Discussion in 'OT Technology' started by Yodaman456, Oct 24, 2004.
what is xp corporate?
usually a pirated version of xp
XP Corporate = XP Retail + 935 (if anyone gets this, I'm impressed)
It is the version that corporations get that does not require activation (also must be used with a volume license product key, not a retail key)
They often get leaked because of the no activation feature.
one more addition, it won't let you install a service pack unless you "crack" it and change the product key.
Uh, only if you used a known pirated key to install it in the first place.
which most people seem to do from what i've seen
True enough.
Well im getting it fo free...from a friend, so just wanted to know thanks
And I bet he bought it from suprnova.
yeah, XP Corp (aka VLK) is not legal unless you have a license for it.
"free from a friend" is DEFINITELY illigal!
ok now that i know that i will not take it thanks...
This thread makes me dumber
I have one. Legal and all!

Plasma lipoproteins in familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency: lipid composition and reactivity in vitro
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Keywords
- Disciplines
Plasma lipoproteins from patients with familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency have been fractioned by preparative ultra-centrifugation and gel filtration and their lipid content and reactivity studied. All of the lipoproteins are abnormal with respect to lipid concentration or relative lipid content. The low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) appear to react normally with partially purified LCAT from normal plasma. Also, the lipids of the very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and LDL, like those of the corresponding lipoproteins of normal plasma, are indirectly altered by the action of LCAT on normal HDL. Thus, during incubation in vitro VLDL cholesteryl ester is increased and VLDL triglyceride is decreased, as described by others for VLDL from hyperlipemic plasma, and both the unesterified cholesterol and lecithin of the VLDL and LDL are decreased. The patients' VLDL and LDL are abnormal, however, in that they lose unesterified cholesterol and lecithin to normal HDL in the absence of LCAT. Also, the patients' HDL lose these lipids to erythrocyte membranes in the absence of the enzyme. See more

Back in the 1980s anyone who was anyone had one clipped to their hip. After Sony introduced the Walkman, music, and hearing, was never the same.
We all had the chance to listen to our favorite mix tape privately, blasting into our ears, not subjecting our fellow bus riders, metro goers or parents to the latest A-ha, Duran Duran or Dexy's Midnight Runners song.
But would kids who have known nothing but the wonder of the iPod know what a Walkman is or even how to operate one? Take a look and realize just how old we all are.

The minimum legal age would be 18, though provinces would be able to raise that.Only cannabis grown by a federally licensed producer will be available for sale, though Canadians could grow up to four plants at home.
Blair said at the news conference in Ottawa that "criminal prohibition has failed" and that 21 percent of youth, and 30 percent of young adults, use cannabis in Canada.
The federal government's proposed legislation to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes includes a thorough overhaul of Canada's impaired driving laws, toughening up the system not only for drivers who are impaired by marijuana but also by alcohol.
"The bills we propose today are aiming at putting drug dealers and organized crime out of the cannabis business", Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said.
Distribution: Under the legislation, the federal government says provinces and territories will authorize and oversee the distribution and sale of cannabis.
That means the challenge now before the provincial and territorial governments is nothing short of monumental.
With legalization in a growing number of our own states and now an entire major neighboring country ending prohibition, its going to be increasingly hard for drug warriors in the Trump administration to meaningfully roll back our gains, said Tom Angell of the pro-legalization group Marijuana Majority. Canada legalized the use of medical marijuana in 1999, initially with strict controls, but the law was broadened over time.
"The current approach to cannabis does not work".
"While the Canadian government is moving in the direction of legalization and regulation, the Trump administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions seem more intent on reviving outdated and erroneous Drug War rhetoric than allowing science and facts to dictate public policy", Altieri said in a statement.
The new bill outlines that it will be illegal to drive within two hours of having an illegal level of drugs in the blood.
But it won't mean much to the thousands of Canadians going to Arizona every year except for the possibility of slightly more hassle at the global border by suspicious customs officers, he said.
It makes Canada "the largest federal jurisdiction in the world to legalize cannabis consumption", according to The Toronto Star. In 2015, local polling company Insights West found that 65 percent of Canadians are in favour of recreational legalization.
Cam Battley, executive-vice president with Aurora Cannabis Inc., said he fully supports the government's stance on not promoting marijuana to young people, though he also expects the restrictions outlined Thursday to change over time.
But the federal task force recommended marijuana not be sold with alcohol.
The provinces also have to figure how they will regulate distribution. This makes it hard, if not impossible, for state-legal marijuana businesses to use the banking system, receive tax breaks, and otherwise operate without fear of federal interference.
"It is important to note that as the bill moves through the legislative process, existing laws prohibiting possession and use of cannabis remain in place and they need to be respected", Goodale said Thursday. "It will keep cannabis out of the hands of children and youth and stop criminals from profiting from it".

"Our research has shown that the path to buying a car is becoming more and more social, with consumers relying on information and advice from their social connections and brands to inform their purchase. For example, we found that brands can experience a 91% increase in conversion rate for non-brand terms when running social annotations on search ads," Google wrote.

"We have a potential launch later this year, maybe a little bit sooner, looking at the quality of merchants and whether we can do a better job on that, because we don't want low quality experience merchants to be ranking in the search results."
Finally, Google has won a lawsuit filed in 2009 by Wisconsin woman, Beverly Stayart over Google Instant suggestions and various other search engines leading to a search results of her by placing it next to words like "Levitra," "Cialis," and various porn-related ads.
On Wednesday last, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago tossed her yet another loss in her lawsuit against Google, upholding a decision made by a district court in 2011.
"Stayart has not articulated a set of facts that can plausibly lead to relief under Wisconsin's misappropriation laws," the court wrote (via).
In fact, the court cited her own previous case against Yahoo!, in which that court found that there had to be a "substantial rather than an incidental connection between the use and the defendant's commercial purpose."

Review by eenerd
This book was fun and very entertaining. I picked it up at ALA in Boston because I'm a Star Wars fan and so anything with an origami Yoda on the cover must be good. I wasn't disappointed! This is the case file on origami Yoda and the advice he gives Tommy and his friends about life, girls, homework, and everything and whether or not Yoda is for real. The comments by the other kids at the end of the cases and the margin drawings are awesome and hilarious. Read this book you should, make you laugh it will.
Review by abbylibrarian
In a series of stories, kids in Tommy's sixth grade class share their experiences with Origami Yoda, a paper finger puppet wielded by Dwight, the strangest kid in school. Origami Yoda seems to be giving good advice, but he can't be real... or can he? The cover and interesting presentation (a mixture of different fonts, cartoon illustrations) will have kids picking up this book and the story will keep their interest as well. This would be a great choice for <i>Wimpy Kid</i> fans. Instructions for making an Origami Yoda are included.
Review by JRlibrary
My librarian gut instinct tells me that many of the readers who love Diary of a Wimpy Kid will also love this one! Angleberger has created a really lovable character in Dwight, the puppeteer of the green Origami Yoda. The paper finger puppet gives out infallible advice to Dwight's classmates. The answers to their questions is always given in "Yoda-speak" which means that any reader who has seen Yoda in a Star Wars movie will easily hear his voice in their head while reading the answers given by the puppet. The story is told through case files selected by the narrator, Tommy. The end of each case file is always commented on by the resident skeptic, Harvey, who does not believe in the mystic power of the finger Yoda. Fun be this book. Love it both males and females will. More copies buy, I must.
Review by meisbres
Are you looking for a good book to read now you've finished The Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Look no further, Origami Yoda is here! Origami Yoda is a finger puppet made by this really weird middle schooler named Dwight. Dwight is the kind of nerd who wears the same t-shirt all month, wipes up spills in the cafeteria by scooting across the floor on his stomach, or only answers "purple" when you ask him a question. The thing is Dwight's paper puppet can predict the future and suggest the best way to handle a tricky situation. There's no way Dwight is that smart. So is Origami Yoda magic? The students of McQuarrie Middle School want to know so they start a case file to discover the truth. Check out their stories and related cartoons by reading The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger.
Review by kikotomo
Dwight is an odd kid - he digs holes in his back yard and sits in them for hours, answers yes or no questions with the word "purple", and hides under the lunch tables for no particular reason. However, Dwight is the creator of the original Origami Yoda finger puppet and has most of the 6th grade believing that it can read peoples' minds and tell the future. Tommy, Dwight's friend, needs to know how much Origami Yoda can be trusted because his reputation is on the line. The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is Tommy's case file to discover the truth behind Origami Yoda. A simple, fun, easy to read novel. Although the plot is a little predictable, the light-hearted humor in this book will keep the pages turning.

Russia could counterattack if U.S. interceptor is launched
The launch of a U.S. interceptor in Europe as part of a missile defence shield could lead to an inadvertent response from intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff. Yury Baluevsky describes the shape
He says that Russia has an automatic system of missile launch warning which operates with minimum human interference.
Speaking at a media conference, he also added that Russia's suspension of the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty gives him more flexibility.
"We freed ourselves from the obligations under this treaty. To be more precise, these obligations included the provision of phone information, receiving and carrying out inspections. There'll be no massive arms build up, but now, as Chief of General staff, I can freely move Russian troops across the territory of Russia – something I couldn't do before the CFE suspension law came into force," Baluevsky said.

Art and Literacy - GREAT ideas!
Expand Messages
- Greetings Art Educators,
When I was teaching middle school, I always did lessons to tie in with
"Right to Read Week" (this year in Ohio it is May 13 through 17 - for
school days. the week is through May 19, I think).
If I had a classroom, I would be grabbing these amazing ideas (links
below - scroll down) by Tricia Fuglestad. I did get her permission to
re-post them (also re-posting to Art Education list so all will take a
second look at the possibilities). I think they can even be adapted to
high school (at least the portrait ones can be). Tricia, if you see
this - send me the picture of the Holy Cow. I love it! That one was
yours, right? I would like to make a card for my brother using that as
the image on card front - pretty please?. I bought him a Fair Trade
cow/bull (carved stone from the Shona people Zimbabwe - long story why
I he "needs" it).
Thanks to whomever posted Robert Genn's quotes site (The Painter's Key
- http://painterskeys.com/ ). There is a twice a week newsletter you
can sign up for which is very nice.

- Hey Judy , well I (Yvette Prior in VA) was the one who shared the 'painters key' website (although I only recently heard of it myself -so I was actually sharing more just for the quotes access, but I think that Mr. Genn's blog may be useful too).
- Also, speaking of all these quotes shared lately, well I love one of your recent quotes:
and I share the sentiment,
however, I do think there are times during mass teaching when certain projects can be approached with likeness while still having much value, much personal expression, and the take away is still very rich!
Anyhow, your "cookie cutter" quote came in handy this week because we had just attended a basketball game - at a really nice middle school- and the gym is decorated with about 80 different 3-D painted cardboard (or foam board) sculpture creations.
And as we looked at the cool pieces, it soon felt pretty sad - because they all had the same designs and the same patterns and same paint schemes. Still quite wonderful. Still quite beautiful, and the rich primary color use still stands out - but they were also BORING. They all looked "ALMOST" the same. Now grant it - I bet every single one was different, and like the long triangle on the third one had yellow polka dots on blue whereas the 4th one had a short triangle with red dots on yellow.... but from a distance, it lacked personality and really seemed like the entire grade level made, well, the same exact "cookie cutter Project."
I am not sure of the instructions or of what the teacher (or design lady for the gym) had in mind (there may have been rules to follow) but what if they let students choose even just their own palette? And what if white was left out to do some tinting? Would we have some monochromatic sculptures? - or what if some other colors were left out - like some bright colors, some earth tones, or some metallics? Maybe a few of the sculptures would have kept us looking, but after the first row - we realized they were all the same and glanced at them all and left.
Anyhow, trying to NOT be too critical here, but it just seemed like the art up on the wall lost something amazing by having every single sculpture look SO alike. And the students may have lost something as well, - many may have lost a chance to "do their thing" and to show their pizazz and let their colors and arrangement choice shine through. Now of course many of the students may have selected the assigned colors,
but I think we missed out on seeing what some of the students could have shocked us with - creativity that was untapped - or creativity and expression that was limited greatly - because while the cookie cutter style may have some value when teaching certain basics (and may be the best way to mass teach certain objectives), but for other projects - and for certain lessons, it is NOT the way to go and everyone loses out.

- Excellently put. This echos the sentiment of Mary Kohl in her article "Arts vs. Crafts" -
I have learned that children in middle and higher that have decided "art" is not their label have created a block to being creative or expressing themselves through visual mediums. I do some drawing "crafts" with a goal in mind. Say, a Celtic knot or making a generic face, and we'll all make one that looks like x or y. But it's usually a spring board for individual work. My hope is that being shown they can achieve the drawing portion allows them room to grow it into a more individual expression for the larger project.

You work hard to maintain a positive, professional environment, but everyone slips up now and then. How many of these blunders are you guilty of committing?
Swearing: Besides offending people, habitual cursing can make you seem angry or out of control. Substitute less colorful words as often as possible.
Forgetting a name: Offering a brief apology for your "senior moment" should smooth things quickly, but a better strategy is to make a concentrated effort to remember. When meeting someone new, repeat his or her name within the conversation to lock it in your memory, or give yourself a visual by picturing the name written across the person's forehead.
Humiliating: No matter how angry you are at a colleague, don't publicly call out him or her. Embarrassing someone publicly will lead to resentment, not to mention the whole office feeling ill at ease.
Texting: Paying too much attention to your smartphone during a meeting or a one-on-one conversation can make others wonder if you're preoccupied or bored. Explain beforehand if you're expecting something urgent; if not, put away electronic devices.
Interrupting: While some matters need immediate attention, others can wait until a more convenient time. Help your workers maintain focus and productivity by limiting how often you disturb their work.
Gossiping: Dish about someone who isn't present and listeners will wonder what you say about them when they aren't around. Rather than contributing to the rumor mill, talk about movies or sports when you want to be social.
So what was your total? Whatever the number of offenses, remember that a conscious effort to change and a sincere apology when you mess up speak volumes about your character.

Software tool fixes some causality violations
Causality is the way the real world works: a response can't come before its stimulus arrives. All real-world measurements must obey causality, but some S-parameter measurements seem to violate it. An S-parameter behavioral model with a causality problem, used in a circuit simulation, usually results in a prediction that is non-physical and just plain wrong.
The Root Cause
How is it possible for a measurement, or simulation, of an S-parameter behavioral model to show non-causal behavior and what can we do to prevent this problem?
One common root cause of causality violations is from de-embedding. De-embedding is the process by which we take a measurement of a DUT we care about, with fixture or launch elements on either side, and extract just the DUT from the composite measurement.
After de-embedding, the reference plane of the measurement is moved to the beginning of the DUT. When the signal encounters the DUT, time = 0.
There are a number of de-embedding processes. TRL (thru, reflect, line) is historically the most common de-embedding process. All methods share one thing in common. The essential step is to create an S-parameter model for each fixture and use these models, with some matrix math, to calculate the S-parameters of just the DUT.
In a way, the fixtures are "subtracted" from the fixture + DUT + fixture measurement, leaving just the DUT measurement.
If the fixture models used in the de-embedding math are not exactly the same as the fixtures that are actually part of the DUT measurement, a "phantom limb" piece of the fixture can be "left behind" that occurs before the DUT. This means there is a response in the DUT model that happens before the stimulus: a causality violation.
Figure 1 shows an example of the measured TDR response of a connector mounted to a board with fixture structures that were de-embedded using the TRL method, leaving behind a piece of the launch fixture before the signal gets to the connector.
One way to assure the fixture models used to de-embed the DUT really are the same as the fixtures attached to the DUT is to use ISD (in-situ de-embedding). This is when the measurement of the actual fixture attached to the DUT is used to create the de-embed model.
Ching-Chao Huang, the creator of the Ataitec Software suite, told me that he coined the term "in-situ de-embedding" a number of years ago and the rest of the industry has adopted it. When I first heard the term, I liked it so much, I also started to use it.
The Ataitec Software suite includes a tool which will take the S-parameters of a 2x thru and the fixture + DUT + fixture measurement and perform an in-situ de-embed to extract just the DUT.
When implemented correctly, ISD dramatically eliminates causality violations from de-embedding steps. In Figure 1, the ISD method eliminates this causality violation.

Peter Crouch tempted to turn his hand to coaching when he retires
The 35-year-old former England star looked to be heading for a media career the minute he decides to hang up his size 12 boots.
But the 6ft 7in Stoke striker reckons having a shot at the top job is suddenly in his thinking.
Crouch has been taking his UEFA 'B' coaching badge having played under some of the top bosses in a glittering career at club and international level.
Over the years he's commanded transfer fees of around £50m in spells at Tottenham, QPR, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool and Stoke.
Throw in 42 caps for England and an impressive international strike rate of 22 goals and Crouch isn't short of big time experience.

"True Christian humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity
Maggie Ballard and her son Paxton Burns, age 6, live in Riverside, Kansas. In October, seeing a need in their community, the mother and son installed a "Blessing Box" in their front yard. The large 2-shelved box is painted bright red, with a clear covering on the front, and is mounted on a wooden post. Inside the box are soap, noodles, canned goods, pancake mix, along with other toiletries and food items. There is a printed note on the front which states: "Take a blessing when you need one. Leave [a] blessing when you can."
Since items are taken daily, every morning before school and every evening, Paxton checks the box and refills it. People in the community have donated money and are constantly leaving items on the front porch to add to the box. The "Blessing Box" has far exceeded their expectations. Other people are now looking into adding the boxes as well.
In November, Shlomo Rechnitz, a California businessman, had a layover at Shannon Airport in Ireland on his way to Israel. While waiting inside the terminal he noticed 400 U. S. soldiers sitting on the floor eating from lunch bags while civilians, some whom they were in the military to protect, were dining in the fine bistros. Rechnitz decided he wanted to do something about the situation. First he offered heartfelt words of appreciation to the soldiers thanking them for voluntarily serving in the military and for risking their lives in order to keep us safe at home. Then Shlomo Rechnitz bought a hot meal for all 400 soldiers.
Besides just talking, Maggie Ballard, Paxton Burns, and Shlomo Rerchnitz saw a need and did something to help remedy the situation. They didn't wait for a committee to be formed, for others to offer to help in the process, or to be interviewed about their intentions before they acted. They set into motion what their hearts felt. What a difference we would make in our world if we were willing to do the same.
Lord, help us to see with your heart and eyes, hear with your ears, and respond like Jesus would.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Posts Tagged 'New York Times'
The Chicago Reader, a free alternative weekly, has put online its archive of long-form film reviews. It's the latest in a line of print publications (such as Vogue and The New York Times) trying to figure out a way to add to the value or extend the reach of older content they own and have already paid for. Adam Tinworth lists an interesting couple of additional uses of archival material on his blog (M&S lingerie anyone?).
I've harped on about this before, using the example of the Irish Examiner's archive of great Cork photos (that's JFK on Cork's Patrick Street, above).
But seeing a paper publish an archive of its film reviews brings the issue into sharper focus for me. Because print publications have been aggregating and publishing their non-news archive material on paper for years. In film, the obvious example is the annual Time Out film guide. But the Daily Telegraph has printed volumes of its renowned obituaries, a compilation of Yorkshire Evening Post cryptic crosswords accompanied me around the world and The Economist even publishes its in-house style guide. In hardback.
Newspapers are experienced at wringing extra revenue from their non-news content. Some of them are transferring that experience to their online operations – Vogue's online archive costs $1,575 a year.
But many more are sitting around wringing their hands because "newsgathering is expensive" and no one wants to pay for "journalism". It's far from an original statement but it cannot be repeated often enough – readers never paid for journalism. They paid for the bundle – the crossword, the weather, the stock pages, the fashion pages, event listings, movie reviews. And newsgathering has always been the most expensive part of generating that bundle.
Parts of it are worthless a month after the event. Thanks to the internet, parts of it are worthless after minutes. But some parts are worth something a year, a decade or even a century later. Isn't it time papers figured out which is which and started devoting more attention to bits that can provide either readers' cash or readers' eyeballs for years?
Lisa Simpson: Cheer up, Dad. Did you know the Chinese use the same word for 'crisis' as they do for 'opportunity'?
Homer: Yes. Crisitunity.
I can't remember when Irish journalism last looked so interesting. I may be paying closer attention with a view to returning home from Britain but I also can't help noticing many more people are finally talking about the future of news in Ireland.
In the apocryphal Chinese proverb, interesting times are double-edged, of course. It is the sinking of print circulation and advertising revenues that is behind this drive to find a model that works (and pays) for Irish journalism on mobiles, tablets and the web. And that will mean further job losses and remaining journalists being required to do more.
However, job losses and growing workloads have been the reality in Western newspapers for years. It is only over the past couple of months that I've seen a concerted drive by Irish journalists to figure out the future of their trade. Even more significant I think is the visibility of this conversation between papers and new media outfits and between journalists of all stripes and their readers.
Old media Vs …
Six weeks ago, Alan Crosbie, the chairman of Thomas Crosbie Media, which publishes the Irish Examiner and The Sunday Business Post, gave a speech entitled "Media diversity and why it matters". One line – "the threat to humanity posed by the tsunami of unverifiable data, opinion, libel and vulgar abuse in new media" – understandably overshadowed the wider point of the speech, which was a plea for newspapers to get a share of television licence fee funds. Despite that, the whole speech is worth your time. For example, Crosbie rightly points out that good journalism should be platform-independent:
"What's important is the information itself, not what carries it."
He also says information needs to be of good provenance. I couldn't agree more, but where his argument falls down is in assuming that it is only newspapers that verify information and in missing possibly the greatest tool to help in verifying any piece of online information – the weblink. It is one of newspaper websites' greatest failings that they have ignored linking out for so long.
Shane Hegarty, the Irish Times Arts Editor, knocks down Crosbie's argument well here (although I found it odd he didn't make reference to a commentary piece three days earlier by Conor Brady, the former Irish Times editor, which was largely in favour of the argument for a state subsidy). As a counterpoint to Crosbie's arguments, Hegarty cites the words of John Paton, who despite almost constantly berating newspaper executives is fast becoming their guru du jour. Hegarty sums up Paton's approach well in what should be a mission statement for publishers everywhere:
"It is about innovation rather than retrenchment; collaboration rather than the 'Them vs Us' attitude that is prevalent across the media spectrum and which coarsens much of the discussion."
… New media
We need to bear in mind that the technology making these conversations so much more visible today is the same as that most often cited for the destruction of print's business model – the web. Brady's piece offers praise for some of Ireland's emerging "new media" producers:
There are, of course, some fine internet-based news media. For example, high standards, combining accuracy and urgency, are set by storyful.com, established by RTÉ's former man in Washington, Mark Little. David Cochrane's politics.ie is a valuable and intelligent forum for discussion of important public issues. thejournal.ie is an excellent public notice board.
I can't help thinking the praise is a little faint, and I think I know why. Brady, in trying to offer examples of publications that meet his notion of broadsheet quality, looks at these as standalone offerings – not as parts of a network. The three sites he named are among the most prolific users of Twitter and Facebook to share their stories, to solicit story ideas, and to spread their (my apologies) brand. All three have a fraction of the staff and overheads of a newspaper and the first two have a bigger reach on Twitter and Facebook than any Irish broadsheet but the Irish Times. As my admittedly beermaths graph below shows, thejournal.ie beats all Irish newspapers hands down.
The other side of that coin, of course, is that if their standards ever fall below what's expected by readers, they will hear about it early and often through the same channels. While individual journalists are active on social media, Irish papers as institutions have a long way to go to reach that level of interaction with their readerships.
No Irish newspaper is going to be Ireland's New York Times or Wall Street Journal. But they work in a small market that has a mix of newspapers in terms of size, disposition and demographics. Ireland also has a growing network of (sorry) "new media" businesses.
Hasn't the stage already been set for Irish papers to experiment online? Doesn't it make sense that instead of chasing drive-by viewers of single articles that more intense relationships are built with more devoted readers? As Bernie Goldbach pointed out in a post on Friday, isn't it about time we got Ireland's local newspapers engaged online? Thomas Crosbie Media and the Independent group both own local papers in addition to their nationals – why aren't they trying to build a news and advertising ecosystem focused on (and assisted by) readers and advertisers in those communities, and let the knowledge gained in the process have a knock-on benefit to their flagship papers?
Facing the future
I'm not naive enough to think that Irish journalism will figure out a solution to declining newspaper circulations and falling ad revenues at its first attempt, but it has begun to admit the problem and address it openly.
I was cheered and saddened by a Roy Greenslade post last week quoting Hugh Linehan, the online editor of the Irish Times:
"… let me be really frank and lay my cards on the table: I think print will die."
There is nothing new in "print will die". It echoes a 2010 statement by Arthur Sulzberger on the New York Times:
"… we will stop printing the New York Times sometime in the future, date TBD."
I would miss the notion of a print edition of the Irish Times, but I buy it once a week and nostalgia won't pay their bills. I do, however, find it heartening that the environment has finally changed enough to allow open contemplation of a world where it no longer exists on paper. It's also worth pointing out that the seminar where Linehan voiced his opinions on the future of print was also attended by representatives of the Irish Examiner, journal.ie and storyful.
Critics will no doubt point out that talking about journalism won't save it, but from where do they expect the ideas that will? Acknowledging openly that print is screwed and engaging with your "competition" shows a much healthier side to the Irish journalism debate. As long as nobody gets too carried away – a final word of "I'm not the Messiah" warning from John Paton, as reported in the New York Times:
According to Mr. Paton, his new employees at MediaNews were hoping to discern the silver bullet that would enable them not only to survive, but prosper. Instead, he worked his way through a detailed presentation about outsourcing most operations other than sales and editorial, focusing on the cost side that might include further layoffs, stressing digital sales over print sales with incentives, and using relationships with the community to provide some of the content in their newspapers.
"When I finished, they looked crestfallen," he said, adding that they seemed to be asking, 'No secret sauce? No magic program to make us go from print to digital? Anyone can do what you're talking about.' "
I am a sucker for these things. CJR asks New York Times media columnist David Carr to go through his bag.
Almost all Irish newspapers posted largely predictable slides in their circulation figures yesterday, with sales of the Irish Times falling below the psychologically important 100,000 mark.
Interestingly, however, the Times also posted audited figures for some of its digital editions – 2,023 for its online e-paper and 1,687 for subs on what they call "other platforms, such as Kindle" – I assume that's e-readers as its iPhone and Android apps are currently free.
Some beermat maths: The Kindle edition costs £14.99 (€17.65) a month, the epaper between €13.33 and about €50 a month depending on how you pay. So that comes to somewhere between about €56,000 and €133,000 a month. That leaves the Times some way to go to make up for the missing 6,393 sales (worth about £325,000 a month on cover price alone).
Although Liam Kavanagh, the MD, said he was happy with the print + apps + epaper total, by far the most interesting thing he said yesterday was again raising the prospect of a paywall, "particularly in the context of business coverage and niche content", at irishtimes.com. That may explain the heavy trailing for their revamped daily business supplement.
I do hope the Irish Times isn't basing its plans on the success of the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal's paywalls. I've written here before that I don't think a general interest newspaper can compete with such specialist publications. Irish newspaper executives are almost certainly also looking at the relative success of the New York Times's paywall (although plummeting advertising revenues take the gloss off that, too).
In the US, Gannett announced yesterday that it was going to put up a metered-use paywall at 80 titles. The company, which owns 200 titles in the UK, claims the US paywalls could increase revenues by $100 million. I'll believe it when I see it. In London yesterday, News International announced a new "digital pack", essentially doubling the online price of the Times of London and the Sunday Times. The Times claims 119,255 digital subscribers, but doesn't break them down between web-only and print subscribers and doesn't indicate what kind of reader turnover it suffers.
In short, the titles that use or plan to use paywalls are either so specialised, so over-optimistic or so secretive, it is very difficult to extract any meaningful indication of whether such a strategy would work in a market as small as Ireland's. My suspicion is that it would not.
Publishers need to be made fully aware that paywalls are no panacea – at the Paywall Strategies conference in London yesterday, the Economist's Audra Martin said it had doubled the content it produced over the past two years.
"Just putting print online was never going to be enough," she said. "We had to up the amount and frequency we were publishing."
Although the potential rewards are great – the Economist's operating profits rose 6 per cent in the first half of 2011 – how many publishers would commit to such a large increase in journalistic output while maintaining its quality?
A strange confluence of links in my rss feeds today really annoyed me/spurred me to write.
I cannot fault the logic in Simon Waldman's post:
"These days we can't live without Google; but before it existed, I couldn't even have articulated my need for it."
It should scare everyone who is neither an inventor nor an entrepreneur — it surely scares the life out of me, because it seems like exactly where news online is headed. For an essentially subjective endeavour such as news gathering, I still feel that reporters, sub-editors and designers are a resourceful, inventive, practical lot. But from where I sit, we've got nothing to offer the pot — the changes in how we work and why those changes are being made are being dictated from outside.
What really caught me was this age-old observation about Kodak:
"We all know that the digital camera was invented in Kodak's labs, but it threatened the formidable profitability of their three-legged model of chemicals, paper and film, and the innovation was never made a priority."
When placed alongside this story about how Nokia had a touchscreen smartphone ready to go six years ago, but shelved it, it makes you feel far less sympathy for their current floundering.
"It was very early days, and no one really knew anything about the touch screen's potential. And it was an expensive device to produce, so there was more risk involved for Nokia. So management did the usual. They killed it." – Ari Hakkarainen
Disruption can be good, is often necessary to sweep away outmoded production methods and can give an industry the means to transform and survive. But how often are managements killing things they aren't prepared to take a risk on? Worse still, how often do managers buy into a load of guff that sounds disruptive and transformative because it's on the right bandwagon rather than because they actually understand the change and how it applies to their business? And how often are newsrooms even aware that any of this has taken place?
I would submit that "The art-director will run the newsroom of the future!" is in the guff category. The exclamation point is theirs, and should speak volumes. What utter bilge, peddled by people with more interest in how the container appears than in its contents. Again and again, news executives are bypassing the talent in their newsrooms looking for disruption and the iPad-led gold and glory they assume (and new media conferences and consultants promise) will follow.
Perhaps a more concrete example can be found in Juan Antonio Giner's Innovation in Newspapers blog. It has been essential reading for me for quite a few years now, but as I have pointed out before, concerns itself less and less with newspapers as time goes by. That really is a shame – this post should illustrate to fans how far it has sunk.
It is one thing to pronounce daily on good and bad newspaper design and journalism but to put forward this "concept phone" as a possible solution is seeing the news consultant merry-go-round finally begin to eat itself.
The solution!! Hallelujah!!! — too bad it's five to 10 years away, by which time every problem we imagine it will solve will either have ceased to be or will have been cracked more cheaply and simply by somebody else. Why not just suggest an "app" that prints money? It's about as credible and is designed to appeal to exactly the same instincts.
Which brings us back to the true disruptors – the guys who will make a mint turning news on its head at low cost, using technology and scale, and without the burdens of legacy news production such as people, pensions and presses.
Simon Waldman cites the following:
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Jerry Yang and David Filo, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Pierre Omidyar, Reed Hastings, Marc Benioff (Salesforce.com), Andrew Black and Edward Wray (Betfair), Craig Newmark and Jim Buckmaster, Natalie Massenet (Net-a-porter),Tony Hsieh (Zappos.com), Evan Williams and Mark Pincus.
You'll be familiar with most of the names. I dare say none of them has ever phoned a fire station at 1am, doorstepped a company director or tickled an intro with seconds to go before deadline. But until the operatives of every journalistic enterprise of every size come up with something better, the future of the industry is in the hands of the entrepreneurs and not those more concerned with its nuts and bolts.
PetaPixel and Charles Apple both posted on this yesterday. The image, originally by Reuters, is clearly photoshopped to remove the woman in the middle and cropped to remove the man on the right.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I did or commissioned similar things for feature or analysis pages at my last paper. The cover is a different country, but still not sure it doesn't tell a good story well. This isn't a daily newspaper, after all, and they do often use more obviously manipulated photos on their fronts.
The New York Times's Media Decoder carries a response from the duty editor at the Economist, Emma Duncan, who makes much the same points.
Is it just me or does her explanation ring true?
A lot of people are posting on the Wapping paywalls. This is my completely subjective selection:
The Drum has rounded up a few reactions from creative/advertising/PR types and the gist is a mix of time-will-tells and jury-still-outs. One interesting point was that the design of the site made it difficult to navigate on the iPad, which is odd given the resources the Times is devoting to the Apple device.
George Brock, professor and head of journalism at City University London, tells the Independent, reasonably enough, that it's too early to tell whether the Wapping "experiment" will succeed.
John Naughton, in the Observer, also takes up the "experiment" line, saying "Rupert Murdoch may be richer or poorer as a result, but we will all be much the wiser." My guess is Mr Murdoch will be poorer and the prevailing wisdom – absolute paywalls don't work for general news content – will be confirmed.
Steve Outing at least lays his cards on the table, saying Rupert Murdoch's move is uber-dumb. He makes a point of how "hard" the paywalls actually are – no Google indexing and no deep links. He suggests the Guardian's all-open, all the time strategy is better suited to the web.
On the courageously pro-paywall side is this two-week-old piece from Prospect magazine, "Murdoch is right". It asks "If we value good journalism, why don't we pay for it online?" It doesn't answer the question even remotely, but it's worth a read and, ironically enough, it's in the "free" section of their freemium-model website.
I've now heard two sources inside the Times, one direct, one relayed, that holding five per cent of their pre-paywall audience would be considered a success by Mr Murdoch and his expanding crew. As I've already posted, the sums just don't add up on that for me.
Adrian Weckler, a tech reporter with the Sunday Business Post in Dublin, reported on twitter that he was offered a year's subscription for £50, less than half the touted £2-a-week rate. He also pointed out that the subscription email referred to "joining 100,000 other subscribers". But how many of those will remain beyond the £1 for 30 days trial period?
Poynter compares the Timeses' approach to paywalls with the metered model the FT is using and the New York Times is planning. Again, to anyone who missed it, these semi-open paywalls are the better choice because they still allow discovery by Google, they allow deep linking from bloggers, tweets and Facebook updates and thereby maintain the exposure and currency of the Timeses' expensive columnists and commentators. The "freemium" model also allows wide advertising of different price points at which consumers can enter – starting with the best one, free. The Times seems to ignore a fairly basic point of marketing.
My two cents is that the plan doesn't seem coherent – the timing of the changes is unclear, the pricing is unclear and the underlying strategy for growing a web presence and associated revenues is non-existent. As I've mentioned before, I would have liked to see what the Times could have done in the open with the level of resources and attention it has thrown at a doomed paywall.
Finally, those papers and online news providers wishing to stay open but still looking to cut costs and needless levels of middle management procurement and implementation bureaucracy would do worse than look at the Ben Franklin project. Belated Happy Independence Day, Americans!
A wonderful brouhaha has blown up between some new media heavy hitters over Virginia Heffernan of the New York Times and her ridiculous notion that iPhones, "apps" and "the gated web" will leave "open Web" users shambling around the digital equivalent of Detroit.
Blanket statements such as "open beats closed" are not enough to dispel the blatant scaremongering of a notion of web-based "white flight". Heffernan has stretched the already perished "web as city" metaphor beyond its snapping point – maybe she has read a little too much William Gibson or Neal Stephenson and not spent enough time playing with mobile phones.
Stowe Boyd demolishes the usless city metaphor here.
Tim Maly has a pop at her for ignoring the obvious fact that it was the iPhone that brought "open web" browsing to the mobile masses in the first place.
Pat Thornton (@pwthornton on Twitter) found the piece worthless and offensive.
The excellent Dave Winer takes issue with the NYT running a story he says is so devoid of fact. (According to her wikipedia entry, Heffernan used to be a fact checker for the New Yorker.)
The most annoying thing about the piece, for me, is that it ignores that Apple's is not the most used or fastest growing smartphone OS out there, nor is it the largest smartphone handset maker. I am consistently frustrated as an Android user when organisations announce with fanfare that they have had their "app" published only to find it confined to iPhone users.
Certain newspapers have long been accused of being "Dublin-centric" or "London-centric" – ignoring swathes of their countries' wider populations for a geographically concentrated audience that they better understand. The massively diminished costs of online publishing were meant to do away with it, but we find that this city-centrism has made way for a type of platform-centric behaviour. There are demographic reasons, I am sure, but none can convince me of the wisdom of taking a general interest product like a newspaper and self-limiting its distribution.
Less annoying, but probably more significant, is that most "apps" are rubbish. I like it when Apple fanboys tout the number of "apps" available at the App Store as some indicator of quality. I like games and fart noise generators as much as the next man, but it's not really the hook you think it is.
Even the terminology at work here is interesting – iPhone users go to an App Store, like consumers. Android users go to a Market, instantly conjuring up a place, rightly or wrongly, where commerce takes place.
None of which addresses my real interest in "apps" – the notion that they are seen in some way as a boon for struggling newspapers, a way of selling "content". I will have to leave why that is total bullshit until tomorrow.

Christian Pastor Seeks to Help Muslim Woman Attacked with Acid by Fiancé
Veronica NeffingerReligious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
- 2016 Oct 11
A Christian pastor in Nigeria has started a campaign to help a Muslim woman who was burned by acid when her fiancé reportedly attacked her.
According to ChristianToday.com, Pastor Joshua Iginla is appealing to his church and other Christians to help raise money so that 26-year-old local Muslim woman Jamila Yusuf can go to India and undergo surgery for her burns.
Yusuf was reportedly attacked by her fiancé who threw acid on her. Sixty percent of her face was burned as well as 10 percent of the rest of her body. The surgery she needs would cost about $32,000.
Pastor Iginla is determined to raise the funds.
"I think Nigerians should rise up to defend the rights of women; to lay your hands on a woman is injustice. I just don't know how a man can do this (pour acid) on a lady; some people are just animals; how can you disfigure a lady like this," he said, noting that even though Yusuf is a Muslim, helping her is a way for Christians to show the love of Christ.
"I am not doing this for her because she is a member of my church; I don't know her from anywhere; she's even a Muslim and not a Christian. We are only doing this to preach love and not to convert her to Christianity after her surgery in India," he said.
"This is an opportunity to show love to your neighbour because she's not a Christian; your neighbour must not necessarily come from your religion or ethnic group," he added.

Someone earlier said that Snake's imprisonment was Just As Planned. I don't follow...
Anyway, what's with BM's motivations regarding Snake's plan? They don't exactly seem like the kind of people to fight for world peace, and given their great power, they don't really have anything to gain by peace, especially when it risks destroying the world or whatever.
Are they in it for the lulz? (Since kicking Flame Haze ass seems to be part of the equation... ) Snake's huge power keeping them in line even during his 5000+ year absence?

Now that the Season 2 has ended, can anyone list out all deviation in the storyline of the anime compared to novel?
It is a pity that the flame haze can't use the power of its contractor to its full potential. If somehow the Crimson Lords can physically manifesting themselves without consuming other people's PoE and forming the contact with people, they should be able to easily defeat the Bal Masque. Now that when they formed a contact, the power of a Flame Haze is greatly limited and it is much more difficult for them to defeat the Bal Masque.

Read last 2 pages... so the light novel v17 is coming on June 10th as Shakugan no Shana S II?
Woohoo. Volume 16 left me somewhat on the edge :O
Read all of the novels except some parts in the middle... Chinese becomes evil after 3-4 hours of small print.

I don't think the light novels are officially in English. I have up to volume 16 in Chinese, and I'm translating it. Won't be done for a whlie though, and there's almost no chance I'll release it to the public :S Besides someone's probably going to beat me to it.

Hey everyone! I have some questions that I was hoping some veterans of both the Shana novels and the Shana anime could answer:
- Can someone break down the two seasons into the novel numbers which they appeared. For example, based on what I've read about the movie, the movie covers the same material as Shana anime season 1, episodes 1-6. According to what I read, those episodes made up Shana novel #1. I don't mind anime original content, but I'm just trying to get a grasp on what is canon and what is not.
- Does the scene from Shana anime season 1, episode 24, where Shana tells Yuji she loves him happen in the novels? If so, is it handled the same way as Shana anime season 2 where Yuji conveniently explains that he could not hear her?
- Based on some of the novel information I have gathered, the Christmas eve scene where Yugi was forced to choose between Shana and Kazumi happens a little differently in the anime. According to what I read, he never gets the chance to make the choice. What I really want to know is has he made a choice yet? I read some information that made it seem clear that he has in fact confessed to Shana. A simple yes or no will answer this, I don't want too much spoiled!
- Are any of the Shana-tan, Hecate-tan, Carmel-san, or OVA mini specials canon?
- Is there any place to read summaries of the novels, preferably in-depth. I understand the series is licensed and am not asking for scanlations or raw downloads. Simply summaries.
Thanks for the help everyone!
