Velocity Micro Relocates to Expand Richmond Headquarters to Accomodate Impressive Growth
Flourishing custom PC maker opens state-of-the-art facility to service increased business from direct customers and Best Buy.
Richmond, VA — November 28, 2006 — Prompted by stellar growth in its core direct custom-PC business and expanding retail and made-to-order relationship with Best Buy, Velocity Micro, the award-winning manufacturer of high-performance PCs, announced today the company's move to a new state-of-the-art production facility and corporate headquarters.
The new Richmond, Va., center of operations represents a fourfold increase in the square footage devoted to desktop and laptop manufacturing, testing, and support. The additional space was needed to serve Velocity Micro's growing customer base of PC enthusiasts, professional users, businesses, and corporate and government clients, as well as to accommodate continued expansion of the company's relationship with Best Buy. Velocity Micro PCs are now carried in more than 270 Best Buy retail locations nationwide as well as on www.BestBuy.com, and are available through the retailer's online build-to-order program.
"We've enjoyed phenomenal growth the past several years, and this move is a very exciting and significant milestone for our company," said Randy Copeland, Velocity Micro President and CEO. "Our business model is resonating with customers, and their continued loyalty is a testament to our approach of carefully hand-building each PC using only the best components available, then backing those machines with the best customer service in the industry."
The expansive production floor at the new facility allows Velocity Micro to maintain the level of hand-craftsmanship, hand-tuning, and hand-testing the company is famous for, while accommodating its remarkable growth rate. Customer care and support departments have also grown in the expanded facility, which allows Velocity Micro to offer an even better customer experience and improve its industry-leading technical support.
In choosing a new location, Copeland knew it was important to stay in the company's current home base of Richmond, Va. "Our most important differentiators are our expert production staff and in-house tech support. So when it came time to expand, staying here in Richmond, near our team of trained, dedicated employees, was critical," he said. "This fantastic community is our home, and we're thrilled to be helping it grow into a premier region for technology companies."

SALT LAKE CITY — Derrick Rose was concerned about fatigue in his return after missing the previous four games with a left hamstring injury.
But the Bulls' perpetually ailing guard was able to wear out the Jazz at the start of Monday night's game at Energy Solutions Arena, scoring 10 of his team's first 20 points in staking his team to a 16-point lead. He finished with 18 points in 24 minutes and helped the Bulls hold off the Jazz 97-95.
After the game, coach Tom Thibodeau bristled when asked about Rose's assertion that he might feel fatigued.
"Geez, he's got to get out there and play," Thibodeau said. "I thought he did a lot of good things. You can see...

Nawa 4 you, me, us, him, her, them and all other Naija peeps making headlines such as our Naija celebrities, corrupt politicians, fake pastors, yahoo-yahoo peeps, normal and abnormal, and any latest news worth laughing about in Naija and abroad.......ALL REAL STORIES....NO BULLSH#&$%@*!!!
Thursday, November 18, 2010
OKAY THAT'S IT!!!!......I can finally, and strongly conclude that Nollywood has officially ran out of names for their movies. I guess that's what happens when 1million movies are being released every month....and 98% of them always turn out to be either same old stuff, or total bar-bash. And yes I'm a big fan of these two young looking midgets, but is it just me or I'm sick and tired of seeing both of them acting together in different movies? Cos they both very brief looking individuals doesnt mean that they always have to be in the same movies....GOSHHHH...I just dont know if these so called producers think with their brains for real....Cant someone just come up with something new or unique for goodness sake!!!.......No creativity whatsoever in making, and also naming a movie. Today na Small Shit..tomorrow go be strong Shit,,,,next week go be Diarrhea....WTF!!!
U see this situation of Nollywood's lack of improvement over the years does correlate with our bad government system. But this time, it has nothing to do with corruption. No politician or Gov't official can be blamed for this one. Therefore I'm beginning to feel that each and every one of us should be blamed for our country's present situation (regardless of ur status) ..........and if we dont start changing our mindset and way of reasoning, then i certainly believe will never move forward......SHIKINAA!!
4 comments:
true talk...the faith of our country lies in our hands. its so easy to just sit and blame it on the govt/politians. Who knows maybe the govt is saying the same thing about us.ReplyDelete
Unto a lighter note...i LOLed at the strong shit, diarrhea. haha i thot they've already used diarrhea as a movie name? lol
Well, may be big cholera will follow next. The lack of creativity in the movies is reflecting in the title. Why am I not surprised?ReplyDelete
thats why i dont watch them anymore..they all same old story that lack content jareReplyDelete

Humane Solutions
As wild animals attempt to survive and thrive in an increasingly human-dominated landscape, the possibilities for conflict with humans are endless.
At PAWS Wildlife Center we receive thousands of calls each year from businesses and individuals who need help solving their specific problems with wildlife. Whether an animal is occupying an attic or raiding the garden, we work with callers to identify humane, effective, long-term solutions to conflicts with wildlife.
They save money by not hiring an outside service to address the problem, and they also learn about the root causes of human/wildlife conflicts and how to avoid them. Common problems include:
- Raccoons or squirrels in attics or crawlspaces.
- Birds nesting in dryer vents.
- Birds striking or attacking windows.
- Raccoons or opossums eating pet food.
- Herons, otters or raccoons eating fish in decorative ponds.
- Pigeons roosting in areas where they are not wanted.
- Mountain Beavers eating decorative plants.
- Moles burrowing in yards.
- Deer or rabbits eating garden plants.
- Woodpeckers pecking on wood siding or metal flashing.
If you are experiencing a wildlife conflict, call the PAWS Wildlife Center at 425.412.4040 for humane, effective solutions.

The Lesotho Mounted Police Service was established on the 26th October 1872 and it was known as Basutoland Mounted with the strength of 110 men who were mainly the sons of local chiefs. The magistrates also served as police officers.
The police duties were mainly to support and protect magistrates and to act as interpreters and messengers. By 1878 the police adapted military ranks but changed in 1958 to police ranks. The police strength expanded to 1074 men as more responsibilities were added. They resorted and kept peace in other countries. The Commissioner of Police was also responsible for prisons but in 1946, prisons became independent and took charge of prisons. To keep up with modern challenges in the fight against crime and police development, the police diversified and expanded hence the birth of more police departments: Police Training College in 1946, special branch and signals in 1953, Police Mobile Unit in 1964, The Stock Theft and Criminal Investigation Department in 1966 and 1967 respectively. In 1966 the Lesotho Police became the Lesotho Mounted Police.
In 1970, the first batch of women was recruited into the police. In 1986 the police became Royal Lesotho Mounted Force.

Harry Bates wrote this classic short story/novella in 1940 for Astounding science fiction magazine. His story was adapted into two movies in 1951 and 2008, both titled "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Hollywood made many changes for the movie -- even changing the giant robot's name from Klaatu in this original story to Gnut in the movie versions.
This book is a reprint of the original story published by the magazine. Both the print and the ebook versions include historical background and a brief biography of Harry Bates as well as a list of more than 350 stories and novels about alien first contact. This is the only annotated version of the story in paperback or as an ebook on Amazon.com. Unlike other copy-and-paste reprints of this sci-fi classic, this book is reset with modern punctuation and formatting, and it includes a brief biography of Harry Bates, in addiiton to the list of about 350 first-contact books.
The ebook and print book can be ordered through many bookstores or online through IndieBound.
It also is available on several of Amazon's international websites. Simply go to the appropriate international site and search for Farewell to the Master.

Some Updates
And it's Monday again! Good-oh! I'm not very well today, but it seems to be only a 24 hour thing and I should be OK for my new Chinese classes 2nd session tomorrow tea-time. I've got loads of fun activities planned, so I'm quite looking forward to it. I would never have thought it, but perhaps teaching is for me after all.=)
So, here's the long over-due kitchen update photo. It still needs a window dressing (and the glosswork will be re-done when it's all done over the winter hols) and I plan to stitch that lovely blue tit and bird table design to go just above the cooker too. So, things to look out for the in the first half of next year, all being well. Hope you like progress thus far - it's certainly a lot brighter and less bottom heavy than it was, now that it's painted a nice lemon colour and has 2 shelves to house all my machinery.
Here's the doggie at present as well. I'm kinda enjoying doing him, but will be very pleased when he's done and I can get on with other things. Might do something on his this afternoon actually as I have an unexpected free afti owing to it being a good idea to rest up as much as poss. That's certainly true as I'm going to the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate on Friday and it would be an awful shame to mess that up, no?
Streuth! The new beta Blogger version might be quicker etc, but it adds in even more blank lines with photos than the old one did! Heavy use of 'preview' function recommended, and it's about time that was adapted to actually reflect what will appear too!

Whether the need be for an anemometer tower, a met mast or wind turbine masts, the environment is a key focus of our core values and our mast systems have paved the way for anemometer, wind turbine and solar panel elevation in many situations worldwide.
Why Choose Us?
Telescopic masts are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of power generation, testing of climatic conditions using anemometers and even providing synthetic trees and nests for the re-population of endangered bird species. Scientific data gathering is sometimes essential prior to installation of a permanently installed or temporary mast.
Our Systems
Our systems can be used to assess the best position for a mast, which can be easily transported to alternative locations and maximise the efficiency of, for example, a wind turbine. They are also used to generate power for solar powered LED signs, provide power to battery banks for communications and multiple surveillance applications.
Use a Combination
Some customers choose to combine solar panels as well as turbines to maximise power generation, and we can provide simple and easy to use mounting methods for both. It is important for our experienced customer services team to be provided with the size, weight and force exerted by the turbine in order for us to specify the correct mast to suit your particular requirements.
The perfect platform for generating power
We can supply anti-tamper versions and masts with internal spiralled cable to carry power or data. Our mast Guardian system will detect wind speeds to a preset force and automatically extend or retract the mast to an optimum height, for example, a mast may need to be retracted to a safe height in severe weather conditions. With a vast range of over 900 different types of mast, ranging from the super lightweight Hiperpods, to the super strong Ø250mm masts that will carry in excess of 500kg, we are certain we can rapidly provide a suitable user-friendly set of equipment.

MTV congratulates Alikibia, who won Best African Act at the 2016 MTV EMAs after incorrect results were posted due to an error.
Six Worldwide Act winners, including Wizkid, were selected by an international committee of MTV music executives to recognize current artists who are rising to have a wider geographic appeal beyond their local regions. The winners were chosen based off a range of criteria including international MTV video play, radio airplay, streams, and sales across multiple territories and regions. The winner of Best African Act was selected by fans via votes on MTVEMA.com.
"We apologize for any confusion but we are pleased to recognize the achievement of both these artists on this gloval platform," a MTV spokesperson commented in regards to Wizkid and Alikiba.
Alikiba graciously commented, despite the initial error, "Thanks to MTV for this huge honour – it's very exciting to be recognized at the MTV EMAs and I am delighted to bring home the award to my fans in Tanzania and East Africa. Thank you to my family and management."

What does being fit mean to you? WHAT IS FITNESS?
How you define it will most likely be very different from what many other people think. Similar to politics and religion the question can lead to heated debates!
Scholars have whittle down the meaning of fitness to this summed up definition: Fitness is the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively. It is comprised of 11 components that contribute to one's quality of life.
11 components are a lot! Seriously, no wonder fitness is so diverse and hard to define for the average Joe! Basically, there are 5 components that are HEALTH related and 6 that are SKILL related. As a trainer it's my job to try to integrate all the Health related components into a client's lifestyle while also teaching and integrating the more "athletic" or SKILL components into a client's workout plan in order to create optimal fitness. What are the components of Fitness? The first 5 are HEALTH and the last 6 are SKILL:
- Body Composition
- Cardiovascular Fitness
- Flexablility
- Muscular Endurance
- Strength
- Agility
- Balance
- Coordination
- Power
- Reaction Time
- Speed
Many popular fitness programs do not incorporate all 11 components. For example: yoga…is mainly about flexibility and balance, so can a yogi be truly fit by definition? What about a marathon runner? They run an run and run some more so they are mainly working their Cardiovascular Fitness and Muscular Endurance. Is a marathon runner fit?
I believe the answer is Yes! Yogis and Marathoners are fit. One does not need to be an expert at all 11 components in order to be fit. But, I do believe, one needs to be conscious of all 11 and understand that in order to be your best, your fittest, you do need to incorporate all 11 components. You do not have to be an expert them but you do need to incorporate the concepts connected with them.
It is quite often that a new client comes to me with very little basic fitness knowledge, most of what they know about fitness has been gleaned from fitness product commercials and elementary school PE class. Very few clients have ever been exposed to what i term Fitness 101 information. I take it for granted because I grew up an 4+ sport athlete, loved PE, read fitness books and magazines in my free time and went on to study exercise science in college. I am a fitness nerd and forget that the average person has very limited TRUE knowledge about fitness.
My goal is to empower you to be your fittest! I want to empower you with the knowledge of Fitness 101 that will enable you to understand your body and become your BEST! Watch for more posts and video content digging deeper into Fitness! We'll call it Fitness 101, just like in college 🙂

How are you building your list now? Are you building a list? Email marketing is instrumental in communicating with your target audience. Are you actively trying to get into your potential clients' inboxes? Or just hoping for the best?
As with everything else, building a solid foundation will save you time and money later, so putting some effort into your email marketing strategies will help you in the long run.
One of the top tools at your disposal, and the one most business owners miss, is SEO landing pages. Use those keywords you researched to develop compelling copy for a landing page that offers valuable information to the reader in exchange for a name and email address. It could be something as simple as a monthly newsletter that provides valuable industry information, or as comprehensive as a complete ecourse delivered in video format over several days.
The bottom line is that you have to give a little to get a little. Good, solid information that answers a burning question or solves a serious issue, whether written or in video or audio form, is a powerful incentive.
Once you have the email address information, make the most of it through a well-constructed email marketing campaign. Some elements of a good email marketing campaign include:
- Optimized headlines and content that entice the reader to open the email in the first place – GraGGGGrab their attention from the beginning.
- The personal tone that speaks directly to the reader – Give them the personal touch.
- Timed delivery of messages so as not to overwhelm your subscribers – If you are running a targeted campaign, a total of five messages is usually sufficient to promote sales conversion.
- Quality content that gives something to the reader in exchange for their time – Create a closer connection with your readers by giving them content with real value.
- Exclusive offers and incentives – Only available through email links.
- Useful links that work – Connect to landing pages.
- Follow up with targeted emails after the sale – Let your clients and/or customers know you are interested in how they like the product, and not just your sales numbers.
The key to successful email marketing and list building is staying in contact with your subscribers and always giving them something in return.
Pro tip: don't "train" your mailing list to always expect freebies. Make it a habit to promote paid products right from the very beginning, otherwise you run the risk of readers being offended when, after a month or more of free content, they find themselves on a sales page.

The Cloverleaf Series
Rachel Montgomery's family doesn't think she can change-but she's going to prove them wrong...
What could be more out of character for overly-cautious Rachel than moving sight unseen to the small town of Birch Valley to become the principal of the town's only elementary school? When she arrives late on her first day, she realizes no one was expecting her, leading to conflict with the staff-and particularly with one handsome, emerald-eyed fourth grade teacher.
Liam O'Brien's life is simple and easygoing, just the way he likes it-until he shows up for school following the holiday break...
Not only is his new boss the rude woman who stole his parking spot, she's highly motivated to switch things up in his very traditional school, and Liam is not a fan of change. His inexplicable attraction to the petite blonde complicates matters, as Rachel is adamant that she didn't move all the way to Birch Valley to get involved in any kind of romance.
But as conflicts are resolved, family ties might draw Liam and Rachel together...
Rachel discovers Liam's family is loving and supportive, particularly his mother Mary-unlike Rachel's own mother. She bonds with his brothers and his sister Maggie, and it almost seems too good to be true.
Can they work through their differences and compromise enough to build a lasting relationship?
Or will Rachel be unable to let her guard down long enough to take a chance on...
Loving Liam
What a great start to the Cloverleaf series. I have to say I just loved reading these books for this author. She is a truly amazing writer and the story just flows so eloquently.
OH Liam how can you not love him a cute sweet adorable teacher who adores his family. Strong and independent.
Then comes Rachel the new Principal at his school. What a combative match they make haha. I just love how Liam is emediately annoyed and irritated by her lol.
They are definitely drawn to eachother and a strong willed match made in heaven for sure. This book made me laugh and giggle.
I am more than excited to move onto the next book
5 stars
Marriage is hard work, but no one ever told Maggie it would be this hard…
How did life end up so completely turned upside down? When Maggie Tremblye took her vows more than six years ago, she didn't anticipate becoming just a wife, just a mother, and no longer…Maggie.
It's impossible to cling to the bit of self-identity you have left when you're someone's everything…
Meeting and falling in love with Michael Trembley, a young and handsome attorney, was the easy part. Moving away from her family, raising their six-year-old daughter almost singlehandedly, and learning she is now pregnant again is an entirely a different story. All she wants to do is retreat back home to Birch Valley and her loud and loving family, the O'Briens. So when Maggie hits her breaking point, she takes their daughter and reluctantly leaves Michael to his endless hours at the office.
To be on top, you have to make sacrifices…
Michael Trembley wants to be the best—the best corporate defense attorney, the best son, dad, and husband—but he falls short in the last two on his list of priorities. Now his perfect world is anything but. The distance from his family is a major wakeup call, but what is he willing to sacrifice to make it right?
The journey of life is full of twists and turns. Will Maggie and Michael survive this bump in the road, or will their perfect idea of a family fall completely apart?
This is the second book in the series and I suggest you read book 1 first as some many of each story is told in all the books. Maggie and Michael are having problems within their marriage. Maggie has had enough and decides to go back to Birch Valley as she is tired of being away from her family and feeling neglected by her husband. This is a wonderful story that is filled with emotion
Welcome back to Birch Valley, the place where nothing is perfect, but love conquer all!
What I really liked about this book is that the story and the characters feels real, and it's easy to relate to.
This book shows a huge growth in the authors writing, along with more passion for her work.
5 stars
Promises are meant to be kept—but Patrick O'Brien is too numb with grief…
Patrick hasn't been able to move past the loss of his wife, who died while delivering his twin boys—Finn and Connor. While life continues around him, he is left in a state of emotional suspension, unable to honor his final vow to his wife and move on after she is gone.
Faking it only goes so far…
Always known as the moody older brother, Patrick maintains his distance from his overbearing but loving family. He's barely coping, but still finds a way to be the best father he can to his sons.
Amber Miller returns home and finds more than the small town she left behind…
With her son in tow, Amber reluctantly returns to Birch Valley when her parents ask for help. Their well-known diner, Herrick's, is a staple in the community. But more than that, her father is ill, and they need the extra set of hands to keep the place going.
Lonely hearts attract…
When Patrick and Amber cross paths, their instant attraction catches both off guard. Working through their own kinds of grief, the two must figure out what they want for their future—even if it's not each other.
Losing someone you love is devastating, but learning to love again comes with its own challenges.
Is he strong enough to risk his heart? Or will running from love be the ultimate betrayal of Patrick's Promise?
As we learn more about the most troubled O'Brien brother, we learn of his heartache of losing the woman he loved side by side with becoming a new father. So, seeing his brothers and sister settling down on the previous books was bound to stir up emotions!
Amber is a hard working mom trying to rasie her son and help her sickly parents out all while dealing with grief and loss. She is an amazing character and she comes at such a perfect time to meet Patrick who is dealing with and going through so much because of losing his wife and having to raise his boys alone.
5 stars.
Daniel O'Brien wants what all his siblings have found…love.
Everyone in the O'Brien family has found their someone. That is, everyone except fun-loving Daniel. The last single O'Brien wants nothing more than to find the right girl, settle down, and start a family. After all, his siblings make the happily ever after thing look pretty appealing. Finding the right girl isn't as easy as it sounds, though. At least, not in Birch Valley.
Hannah Belsky has come to terms that finding the perfect guy is merely a fantasy…
Hannah loves nothing more than a quiet morning on the farm with one of her many romance novels. She's a sucker for a good happily ever after. Someday she hopes to find her own. It doesn't seem likely, though, not when her family needs her. She's been the head of the Belsky household and resident mom to her little sister since she was a teen, and the family farm isn't going to run itself.
Sometimes love is right in front of you, just waiting to be seen…
Daniel's been trying to date Hannah's littler sister Nina for months. Trying being the operative word. Nina is like that odd piece that won't fit no matter how hard he tries to squeeze her into his family puzzle. But then there is Hannah. Ever since the day he gave her a ride home, he can't stop thinking about her. Their easy friendship and undeniable chemistry could easily turn into something more. Maybe even the something they've both been searching for.
Will Hannah finally take a chance on the grand love she's spent years reading about, or will doubt and the burden of responsibility keep her from…
Dating Daniel?
Daniel has watched everyone of his siblings find love and happiness. Liam and Rachel are expecting. Maggie and Michael are having a little one. Even the dark and brooding Patrick has found new love with Amber.
Daniel just wants to be loved and have what his parents and all his siblings have. He thinks he has found it with Nina Belsky but it sure doesn't seam like they have much in common.
That's what he thinks or sees that they have nothing in common that he knows of.
The author did a great job of telling Daniels story, all while keeping us updated on the other siblings and family members lives. A close knit family it would be impossible to not want to know what they are up to!Although these books are small town clean romance, Gloria did an amazing job showing us the passion between Daniel and Hannah.
This was an amazing finish to this four book series. Giving each O'Brian a happily ever after
5 stars
Grace's family didn't exactly get into the Christmas spirit, and she was dying to see what all the fuss was about. She wanted to drown herself in eggnog and hot chocolate, stuff herself full of sugar cookies and gingerbread. Grace longed to sing carols and sneak sweet kisses under the mistletoe. Didn't she deserve a chance at a little holiday romance?
More than anything, she wanted to experience the most wonderful time of the year, even if that meant she had to escape Hell. The consequences just might be worth it.
Aidan was dreading the holidays. After a year filled with heartbreak, all that holly jolly nonsense wasn't offering much appeal. Scrooge had the right idea to work straight through the Christmas season. A veterinarian in downtown Seattle, Aidan would much rather spend the holidays with his furry patients. But, his sister has other plans for him.
When he unexpectedly crosses paths with a pretty blonde, he is suddenly filled with more than the Christmas spirit. Is his heart ready to love someone so special?
Grace and Aidan are complete opposites with lots and lots in common reguarding the holidays and how they feel about it and how they want it to go.
I really feel for Aidan and what he has gone through in the past year. How it keeps dragging him down and down and how the holidays are just breaking his heart more and more.
5 stars
The Pass Through
Maybe a wild ride in a shiny black Mustang convertible, and some mother-daughter bonding is exactly what Dr. Kathryn Bailey needs, when she agrees to a road trip with her mother. Escaping the aftermath of a nasty breakup, and seeking to heal her broken heart, Kathryn has no idea what awaits her in the forested mountains of Elk Horn, WA.
While traveling back to her favorite childhood destination, a run-in with the sexy town sheriff sets Kathryn on an unexpected course; one that may very well change her life, especially after becoming witness to something only spoken of in the hushed voices of local legend.
When a horrific event rocks the sleepy, rural town, only days after her arrival, Kathryn is immediately drawn into a mystical world of sacred legend and folklore. Suddenly, she must question not only her eyes, but her beliefs.
As she comes to terms with these newfound experiences, will she come to know that with love, believing isn't always seeing?
This was a suprizingly different type of story for Gloria to have written and I absolutely loved it to pieces.
I adore anything to do with the supernatural or the spirit world and this brought it to the characters in an unexpected way.
And that Sherriff oye vey. If there was a fanning acting to describe my attraction to that character i would so do it.
I just love that this author showed so much range in going from roamnces to this sexy spiritual thriller.

Capturing life's moments...
Snap. Click. Snap. Molly steered clear of anything that didn't have her behind the lens of her trusty camera. That was her passion, her love, and her life. Being an award winning photographer that created countless book covers for authors all over the world had its perks...half naked men for starters. Always looking, but never touching. Mixing business with pleasure was a big no-no in her line of work.
Unlike the romance covers her shots are used for, Molly can't picture herself having a happily ever after.
Friendship is everything...
Focusing on work and failing at romance was all Molly knew how to do. Luckily she had Friendship Friday to look forward to with her two best friends, Emma and Mackenzie. They were her sisters from other misters and her everything.
The bond that Molly shares with her besties is unbreakable, but when life throws something fishy Molly's way, she worries that she will lose their precious friendship forever.
Coffee is a girl's best friend...
Molly is a hardcore caffeine addict, coffee isn't just a drink, it's a way of life.
Finding the perfect cup of coffee in Seattle is easy, finding a guy, not so much, unless that guy finds you…in the most unexpected way.
Love and other indoor sports…
There are plenty of fish in the sea, but what happens when you get clobbered by one? Literally. Molly finds herself being the catch of the day in Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market.
After meeting Logan, a sexy fisherman, with stormy gray eyes, everything changes. Not ready to take the plunge and dive into this romance, Molly finds herself barely keeping above water, as she swims in a sea of new emotions and wild love. Molly isn't so sure she is cut out for this relationship, but Logan sets out to prove that fate has him Reeling in Love.
Will Logan and Molly sail off into the sunset or will Molly be the one that got away, only to stay...Single in Seattle.
Single in Seattle: A Story about Friendship and Finding Love in the Emerald City (Book One: Reeling in Love) was a fantastic read.
This is my seventh book I've read from this author and she is amazing at what she does.
Molly had everything a 30 something woman could want - a career as a photographer to some of the most gorgeous models, a studio to shoot them in with a killer view & best friends who'd do anything for her. The only thing missing from her picture perfect life is a guy to share it with!
So when she visits the Pike Place fish market the last thing she expects is to be hit by a flying fish!
But when it happens, the tosser apologises but Molly doesn't hear or see anything more than her dream man with hypnotic gray eyes.
Logan has a challenge on his hand. From the moment he hit Molly with that fish, call it fate or a serendipitous moment, he knows Molly is it for him! All he has to do is convince her.

1.What inspired you to become a writer?
When I was growing up I admired authors like, Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary and too many to name. I wanted to create that kind of magic. I wrote short stories and poems as a kid. I devoured books and found myself more in love with the idea of becoming a writer. When I was in high school and college I wanted to write the next Great American novel but then life had other plans. Marriage, kids and just life, in general, got in the way of all my grand plans. Then in the fall of 2014, my dad got deathly sick, had a stroke, and ended up becoming a kidney dialysis patient. He was only fifty-four at the time. His illness was sudden, completely blindsided our family, and opened my eyes that we only have so much time here and if I really wanted to write that book, I'd better get on it. I did and wrote Loving Liam by the end of the spring of 2015 and sent it out to any publisher who would read it. I was offered several contracts and ultimately, I chose an offer that included a four-book deal. The realization that our lives can change in the blink of an eye was my motivation for becoming an author.
2.What authors were influential in your passion in writing?
I was heavily inspired by talented authors like Debbie Macomber and I think it shows in The Cloverleaf Series where my love for sweet romances stem from. Debbie Macomber writes romances that are heartwarming and are easy to escape into. I've read every single one of her books and I always suggest her books to my friends. You just feel good after reading those kinds of love stories…and I hope I can make readers feel that way.
3.How many books have you written?
I've written over 12 in the last year and a half. My tenth books will be released this fall but I hope to release a few projects before then. I'm currently involved in a number of stories, including two anthologies for charity. You don't want to know how long my WIP list is…but that's a good problem to have in this industry.
4.What kinds of books have you written?
I write a mix- everything from a feel-good Hallmark movie style romance to paranormal. I've even tried my hand at chick-lit erotica. I love stories that continue long after the first book…that's why I tend to write series. I have a difficult time saying goodbye to my characters.
5.What kind of books would you like to write in the future?
I have plans for a few paranormal and suspense stories. No matter how much I try to steer away, I always come back to writing sweet and heartfelt romances. I'm all about those butterflies of new love and a heartfelt happily ever after.
6.Tell us a little bit about what inspired you to write the
Cloverleaf series?
My family. We're a very close bunch and I think it reflects a great deal in this series. Family is the main focus and that immeasurable amount of love that siblings and parents have despite the crap that life throws at us. Then there is the element of quaint small towns. I wanted to show the simple goodness one can find in rural communities.
7.Who was your favorite character to write and why?
Gosh, this is a difficult one to answer. I love all the characters and they all have a special place in my heart for various reasons. But that Mary O'Brien…she's the glue that holds the family together. I love her to pieces! At my last book signing, I provided the recipe for her banana-nut muffins she's famous for (Okay, I'm famous for them where I live. A writer always puts a little piece of themselves in their characters.) and readers would now love to see it printed in the books. Well, dang…we just may have to do that!
8.What was your favorite book in the Cloverleaf series? Loving
Liam, Maggie's Marriage, Patrick's Promise or Dating Daniel?
I loved writing Maggie's Marriage. I wanted to show readers that marriage is hard work and sometimes it does seem easier just to throw it away than to try to fix it. Writing Dating Daniel was hard because I was saying goodbye to the O'Brien family. Every book up to that point had everyone's POV except on-Mary O'Brien. I felt like the reality that this series was finished hit home when I wrote through her POV. However, we're not quite done and to answer a question I keep getting from readers, yes, there will be a story for Chelsea!
9.What are your favorite genres of books to read personally?
I'm a die-hard romance reader! I love anything that is a romance: contemporary, chick-lit, sweet, erotic, suspense, paranormal…you name it. Honestly, I'm open to reading just about any kind of book. I get into big trouble when I go to the library. It's like when someone visits the dog pound and can't say no to all those adorable pups. That's me at a bookstore or library. It's not just limited to me; my children have inherited my book obsession and they each have full bookcases because their mom can't seem to resist books!
10.Is there anybody in your life that has inspired your writing
I think authors like Debbie Macomber, Nora Roberts, and Brenda Novak all sort of influenced my writing style a tad. The realness of life all wrapped up in a heartwarming sweetness, how could I not want to write like that? I could even say that authors like, Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary also influenced me at a young age. Their books hit on what I was experiencing as a kid, they totally understood real feelings, and I try to do anytime I'm writing.
11.Are there any books you have that are a work in progress that
we should be excited and waiting for?
My WIP list is several miles long. I have a lot of stuff planned and am currently working on a few projects. One that I'm very excited about is a holiday anthology for charity. It's my first cowboy novel and I'm loving this story…it just may be a sneak peek into another series I'm working on. I'm also working on the first books for a few new romantic series: Curl Up and Dye and The Married Ever After Series. I find myself gravitating back to my Cloverleaf roots and writing more sweet romances. Single in Seattle was my first chick-lit erotica and I really enjoyed writing that series but I love the heartwarming Hallmark movie style romances I've been known for. The Pass Through was my first stand-alone novel and it was also fairly dark. I do have some plans for a few paranormal and suspense novels. Then there is Somebody's Son that everyone keeps asking me about. I hit a few snags when I had decided to write that three-book military series. Several people wanted to co-author or become involved and it got a little complicated. So, I took a step back and wrote a few other books. I'm constantly thinking about this book and know that I have to write it. Timing is everything.
All in all, I have a crap ton of stories that I hope to write…definitely a great problem to have in my line of work!
12.What do you do in your spare time when you are not writing amazing novels?
I love movies and binge watching stuff on my DVR. I also spend a lot of time with my family. It's all about finding some balance in life. Notice how I didn't immediately say Facebook? We all know that's where authors who should be writing are on. When I go into full blown procrastination mode, like say when a deadline is approaching, I tend to hide out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
13.Do you have any advice for an aspiring author?
I have few bits of wisdom I'd like to share. No matter what, just keep writing. Read, read, and read some more. Stephen King tells all writers that reading is the key and he's right. The challenge comes long after you've become a writer and then start to compare your work to others. You have to somehow switch back into reader mode. The awesome thing about reading after you've published is that you can learn a great deal. You can see all the different ways that books can be written and it should inspire you to keep at it. I always found it fueled my desire to write. Anytime I watch a Hallmark movie now, my brain is suddenly alive with even more ideas.
Also, think about why it is that you want to become an author. Is it for fame and fortune? Good luck there, pal. Is it because those voices won't stop unless you type, or could it be that you see movie-like images playing in your head all the time? Welcome to the club, you are a writer. That's almost as cool as being told you're a wizard. (Insert cheesy Harry Potter reference here.) Do it because you want to. Because the passion for writing consumes you. Dedicate time to hone your craft and don't be afraid to reach out for help. Have your friends and family read your work when you want an ego boost, but have betas read your work when you want to know the truth. The book community can be a wonderful means of support for new and experienced writers. Be an active in encouraging and helping other authors. Be kind.
14.How long have you been writing?
I've been writing since I was a kid. It started out with short stories and poems, then it developed into novels within the last year and a half. I've always had ideas for stories but never really put it down until 2015 when I finally took the publishing plunge!
15.How did you start out?
It all began on a rainy night on March, 15th 1980… Just kidding. As I mentioned earlier, I decided to finally write a book in 2015. I had no clue what I was doing or what to expect. I pretty much used Facebook for my Candy Crush addiction. I had no idea about our incredible book community. I knew next to nothing about publishing and when I completed my very first manuscript, I simply sent it out to any publisher with an email who accepted submissions. I didn't hire an agent, an editor, or beta readers. I just hit send and held my breath. I was offered a contract the very next day, then another, and another. Panic mode set in. I was a complete newbie and ignorant when it came to contracts. I finally accepted a four-book deal about a month later. So, I wrote one book…but now I had to come up with the next three. I didn't think I'd get that far. Yet, I wrote those next three books within the next eight months and had completed my obligation. I decided to write another story and landed a three-book deal with a different slightly larger publisher. Again, no agent, no editor, just little ol' me. I found that I seem to get the hang of query letter and synopsis writing, though it's not my favorite thing in the world to do, I'm pretty decent at it. I had some time to kill in between books and decided to write a fun and quirky holiday book. Well, that turned into another series, two of the three are completed. I chose to go "indie" on those titles and dip my toe in to see how it felt. The indie waters felt pretty good and led me to write and release another book- The Pass Through. I received several offers from publishers to sign but I wanted to see how successful I could make this indie book. It hit #1 in Native American and Paranormal Literature on Amazon…not too shabby.
16.Do you have anything else to tell your avid readers?
You bet I do! I want to express how truly grateful I am to everyone who reads and reviews books. They are the blood of our book community and responsible for helping any author's career thrive. I love being able to do what I do, I'm beyond blessed to have met so many wonderful people, and I plan to keep on doing this until I have no words left to write.

Carparelli +ZOOM - Electric Guitar with on-board Effects
Carparelli Guitars Unveils two +ZOOM models, featuring On-board Effects processor. Interface lets you play amped-up anytime, anywhere
Carparelli +ZOOM - Electric Guitar with on-board Effects
Carparelli Guitars Unveils two +ZOOM models, featuring On-board Effects processor. Interface lets you play amped-up anytime, anywhere
Project Overview
If you are a guitar player or aspire to be one, this project is ALL about YOU. Whether you are looking to buy your first guitar or a seasoned touring pro, this project is something you simply must see. This development forever changes the relationship you have with your guitar by introducing a new element of excitement and creative freedom into your playing experience.
Design goals we set for this development were to create exquisite instruments that both look and sound fabulous, are smooth, easy playing and technologically innovative while remaining affordable.
infiniti Si and Classico S are the result of this design intent. By integrating on-board preamp and effects technology with our exclusive design platform we offer a new level of freedom to the electric guitar player. By eliminating the requirement for power and an amplifier to fully enjoy playing electric guitar, Carparelli +ZOOM sets a new standard for unsurpassed creative freedom.
Carparelli infiniti Si and Classico S +ZOOM - Candy Apple Red Metallic
Carparelli +ZOOM brings you the freedom to experience playing virtually anywhere and anytime (with the possible exception of outdoors in extreme weather conditions). Imagine playing an electric guitar under the stars by the campfire, at the beach, when everyone else has settled into bed, at the office during lunch, while traveling between shows, in the apartment late at night, or at the airport waiting for your flight. Or, into any speaker/sound system having a 1/8 input.
Connect your favorite headset and hear yourself cranked up while keeping the peace with everyone else in your life. Embarrassing moments while practicing those first few chords or working out the finer points of that new lead/lick/riff/solo are a thing of the past. Carparelli +Zoom brings the player more FUN more of the time. So much fun you won't want to put it down.
As seen on:
our technology works
Most guitar companies offer their technology in one or two body styles, a major difference in our implementation is that we plan to make the +ZOOM available across our entire lineup. This will bring on-board ZOOM technology to players of ALL instrument styles, experience levels and musical tastes.
The standard ZOOM stomp box style interface has been reduced to fit on the upper bout of your instrument and a single toggle switch is added to the control area of the guitar. This allows for easy adjustment/setup with convenient changing between sounds/patches during play. With convenient 1/8 input and output you can play to recorded backing tracks from any mp3 capable device and listen to yourself playing through any headset or earbuds. And, you can always bypass the ZOOM simply by engaging the push/pull control knob to go old school.

Our Story (why we've made this)
Our business and our idea of what a guitar should be has been evolving for the past 10 years. During that time we have been involved in design, manufacturing, marketing and retail of Guitars and related products. We watched industry and technological trends and listened to our customers. We listened to the beginners, intermediate players and pros who use our products and decided it was time for a serious update, something to enhance your playing experience in a REAL way for a change. That game changer is here in Carparelli infiniti +Zoom.
Carparelli +ZOOM Creative Process
Development has progressed through several prototype and initial production runs of the various components. From our original Arco design and production order, including the initial version of our Big Foot Bridge, to our latest run of 48 "demo" instruments including +Zoom in various colors and body styles, each round of development has brought significant advancement and refinement to the overall design. With a few minor tweaks, we are satisfied that our guitars are 110% market ready.

A newly released study by CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, called UnderDeveloped: A National Study of Challenges Facing Nonprofit Fundraising, observes and analyzes some of the obstacles that threaten the ability of nonprofits to find success in fundraising. Donors Forum, in partnership with AFP-Chicago, offered a program on May 22 in which Marla Cornelius (pictured), Senior Project Director at CompassPoint and co-author of the study, shared insights and led a discussion on the issues raised by the study. The study shows that many nonprofits face instability in the development director role, including long vacancies, frequent turnover, and difficulty finding qualified applicants. Marla explained that the study found that many nonprofits struggle with these issues partly because of the difficulty in creating a "culture of philanthropy" across their organization. Symptoms of this "cultural" problem may include a disengaged board, and/or weak relationships between staff leaders. These challenges create a cycle that organizations must work to break. Marla concluded by suggesting ten possible "Calls to Action" that can address these issues including training boards differently, and embracing transition management and sharing accountability. The full list of CompassPoint's Calls to Action may be found in the report.
Also speaking at the event was Marian Alexander DeBerry, Director of Executive Search at Campbell & Company, who shared highlights from a recent study sponsored by her firm, CDO Confidential: What CDOs Want You to Know About Retention. The Campbell & Company study focused on Illinois nonprofits and reached similar conclusions to the CompassPoint study. Marian added perspective to the discussion on development directors by detailing reasons for turnover, including the lack of understanding of development from other staff, insufficient resources, and lack of board support.
Roundtable discussions around a variety of related topics allowed participants to identify their organization's personal fundraising challenges and brainstorm ways in which to improve weaknesses. Many felt as though the best way to improve fundraising is through an increased engagement of board members and CEOs, and aimed to do so through education and creating a more active role for the board. A panel discussion and Q & A session, in which Marla and Marian were joined by Carolyn Nopar, Director of Development for Family Focus and Mimi Rodman, Executive Director of Stand for Children Illinois, allowed individuals to get expert opinions on obstacles and potential solutions for their organizations. Attendees were able to get personal insights from the speakers regarding their reports and hear perspectives from multiple nonprofit staff positions.
Solutions raised included adapting to for-profit staffing models that can prepare organizations for this new standard, creating a culture of philanthropy within the organization in which all components are tied to a strong central mission, and shifting fundraising to a nonprofit-wide responsibility, rather than a task for solely the director of development. One attendee who works as a fundraising consultant presented the idea of "project management engagements," which she said are "less than interim staffing, but helps an executive director maintain momentum when and if there is no development staff."
At the end of the event, Marian challenged the audience with the provocative hypothetical, "What if the 16-24 month [tenure] is the new norm for development officers? What changes do we need to make in order to best utilize that time?"

Install wordpress in a subdirectory/subfolder
- December 24th, 2009
- Posted in programming
- Write comment
Have you ever had the need to install wordpress in a subdirectory/subfolder or even replicate a previous instalation of wordpress and simply couldn't get it to work?
Well, read on!
1) Let's assume your site is magro.ic21.eu and you need to install it to magro.ic21.eu/foobar
2) Create the subdirectory (I' named it foobar)
3) Move all files from the previous wordpress directory to foobar
4) You'll notice that magro.ic21.eu/foobar will not have any posts displayed and wp-admin will not work.
5) Go to mysql prompt and issue the following command:
update wp_options set option_value='http://magro.ic21.eu/foobar' where option_name = 'home' or option_name = 'siteurl';

Before we explain our proposals, we will briefly consider (and refute) various arguments that will, no doubt, be raised by those opposed to legal intervention to protect creators.
The Common law tradition argument
The first argument against intervention in this field is that it is contrary to the Common law tradition in general, and the UK one in particular. The argument runs that the Common law has always understood copyright as a property right, and its transfer as a matter for the parties. Contract law merely enforces the expressed wishes of the parties, it does not (nor, the argument runs, should it) replace the agreed terms of contracts with terms it would regard as more just or more fair. The parties, rather than the courts, are in the best position to assess what is good for them, and if they fail to protect their own interests in particular situations, that is not the law's concern. In a nutshell, even the courts of Equity "mend no men's bargains." [1]
The CRA's response
Perhaps the biggest problem with this argument is the caricatured portrayal of UK law.[2] British law, from as early as "the first" copyright Act of 1710, had special provisions protecting authors from disposing of their works too readily.[3] In fact, until recently, UK law recognized 'reversionary' rights to ensure the copyright returned to its author's heirs 25 years after the author's death.[4]
Moreover, despite many claims that UK law had no moral rights until 1989, certain rights had in fact been introduced in relation to works of art as early as 1862.
In a number of respects, the position of creators has also received special protection in the United States. For example, in 1976 the reform of US copyright law replaced its complex renewal provisions, with "termination rights". More recently, in New York Times Co Inc v Tasini (25 June 2001), the Supreme Court interpreted the US copyright provisions on "collective works" with the express purpose of protecting the freelance authors of newspaper articles.[5]
These examples demonstrate that, whatever others might allege, "copyright" tradition (if such a thing exists), is perfectly comfortable with the policy of protecting authors.
The public interest argument
One common argument against interference with freedom of contract is that the public interest lies in the optimal exploitation of copyright works. Property is a legal mechanism of ensuring that the subject matter ends up in the hands of the person who can exploit it best. In the case of exploitation by new technologies, recognizing the residual rights of authors has the potential to impede exploitation and, thus, is against the public interest.
The CRA's response
Our response to this is firstly to question why exploiters are perpetrating the abuses we describe and grabbing creators' rights in the way described above (in section A). We do not believe that they are grabbing these rights with particular exploitation in mind but rather out of paranoia, or in the hope of making a windfall, or simply to prevent other exploiters from using the works.
Secondly, in so far as the exploiters claim that they wish to take rights to avoid the expense and complexity of paying revenue streams to creators (e.g. through residuals),[6] we reply that collecting societies already exist to distribute to individual creators and that digitization should make the administration of rights easier than it ever has been.[7][8] Simultaneously, because consumers want greater agglomeration of rights through simplified blanket licensing regimes, collecting societies rather than exploiter businesses are the appropriate holders of these rights.
Finally, even if publishers, broadcasters and so on are in a better position to exploit works, the CRA thinks it is crucial never to forget that copyright is not just about exploitation, but is also about creation. Creators' rights are human rights.
One particular version of this argument is that exploiters need to take all the rights to satisfy their financiers. For example, the DCMS Task Force's report Out of the Box observed that "The possibility to buy out rights upfront is becoming more important to production companies as programme deficits force producers to seek co-production and co-financing partners who often require rights in territories to be cleared for periods of a minimum of 10 years and up to 25 years".[9]
Once again, our initial response is to question the truth of this claim, given the existence in other European countries of copyright-contract laws similar to those we are proposing. To the extent that these claims are verifiable, however, creators call upon exploiters to consider imaginatively how creators' interests can be accommodated in such financial environments. In the context of directors, payments to a collecting society (the DPRS) seems to have been an acceptable compromise.
The economics argument
One argument that might be made against compulsory contractual terms, is that they are counter-productive. It has been said that in an environment where authors enjoy strong legal protection, exploiters are more reluctant to enter into exploitation arrangements, (for example by using instead creators from overseas).[10] It is also argued that where the laws on authors' contracts permit unfair bargains to be re-opened, the overall effect is that exploiters enter arrangements with creators on less favourable contractual terms. In theory, this is because they discount from the amount they are willing to pay, funds necessary to cover later resort by creators to their statutory rights.
The CRA's response
As regards the assertion that British creators will in fact lose out from such reforms, we have two responses. Firstly, while this argument might make some sense to an economic theorist, there is no evidence of creators from continental Europe suffering as a result of their authors' contract and moral rights law. Secondly, and more importantly, we are proposing these reforms not merely out of economic interest but with the aim of protecting rights, promoting justice and a vibrant democracy. We are not interested in sacrificing these aims in order to become the creative sweatshop of Europe.
The "variety" of copyright subject matter argument
One likely argument is that copyright subject matter is varied and, potentially, covers a huge field. For example, literary works encompass not merely lengthy review articles in journals, but trivial works such as lists of ingredients for products, or instructions on how they should be used. Given this scope, it is argued, the only way to deal appropriately with rights is on an individual basis to be determined by the parties.[11]
The CRA's response
While we accept that copyright covers a wide array of works and that our proposals therefore implicate a variety of interests and circumstances encompassed by our proposals, we do not agree that it follows from this that we should do nothing at all. As with the laws of many other European countries, our proposals aim to establish some core standards that can operate in the majority of cases.
In addition, we propose to introduce flexibility to accommodate non-standard cases.[12] In particular, where standard collective agreements are negotiated, we suggest that (in certain circumstances), they override the general provisions.[13]
The partial authors/group works argument
Related to the "variety of subject matter" objection, and the "public interest objection" to the regulation of authors' contracts, is the objection based on group works. Many copyright works, from films to encyclopaedias, are typically the products of a large number of contributors. In such situations, it is asserted that it is wrong if any particular author can hold out over the others, and prevent their remuneration. In effect, the objection is that the type of regulations we are proposing can be used by creators AGAINST other creators.
The CRA's response
Our response to this is that the regime we propose is not intended to force all relationships into the same straitjacket, but is intended to be flexible enough to accommodate special situations. In some countries, the problem of multiple authorship of audiovisual works is accommodated by presumptions of transfer, coupled with rights to equitable remuneration, and in the UK, following the EC Rental Directive, section 93A of the CDPA creates a presumed transfer of the rental right to the producer of a film.[14]
However, the CRA does not believe that this necessarily creates a fair and balanced situation. We propose that provision be developed by negotiation between collective organizations/appropriate trade unions representing the parties and interests involved (such as those in the Directors' representatives and the Broadcasters and Producers representatives described earlier, or the NUJ and newspaper publishers). We hope, by so doing, to provide flexible solutions to the specific considerations affecting exploitation of certain works.
The "choice of law" argument
One final argument against any intervention in the field of copyright contracts relates to its potential futility. Such regulation, it is suggested, is potentially futile because, even if the rules are mandatory under domestic law, the parties to the copyright contract are free to choose a different law. Consequently, national mandatory provisions intended to overcome problems of contracts that arise from the authors' poor bargaining provision are likely to be avoided by choosing as the law of the contract a much less interventionist regime.[15] This will place European laws under a double disadvantage: not only will they no longer have the benefit of protective rules, but they will also have to seek advice from those familiar with US law to understand their rights.
The CRA's response
The "argument from choice of law" is a powerful one, but is clearly one which is unacceptable to the CRA, as it implies that there is nothing we can do to strengthen the position of authors. Given that our analysis has shown that the current terms of creators' contracts rarely are reflections of negotiation between creator and exploiter, the idea that the creator's apparent "choice" of law determines the issue, poses real problems. In fact, the objections could be met in a number of ways.

[2] For similar criticisms of caricatured representations of the common and civil law copyright traditions, see G. Davies, Copyright and the Public Interest (IIC Studies, Vol 14) (1994); J. Ginsburg, 'A Tale of Two Copyrights: Literary Property in Revolutionary France and America' in B. Sherman & A.

[3] The Statute of Anne conferred the exclusive right in two blocks, and the second was acquired only if the author was alive when the first period elapsed. This splitting of the copyright term has been understood as protecting an author from market pressures to assign his copyright.
[4] CA 1911 s 5(2) recognized a 'reversionary right' in respect of works which were assigned by the author rendering the assignment void as against the author's personal representatives insofar as it extends to the period of copyright that commences 25 years from the author's death. See Chappell v Redwood Music [1981] RPC 337.
[5] For a similar situation involving the use of photographs in electronic databases see National Geographic Society et al v Greenberg 122 SCT 347, 151 L Ed 2d 262.
[6] This has frequently been the reasoning of film producers, when refusing to offer residuals. See e.g. P. Haggard, 'The Directors' Cut' Broadcast 10 April 1998, p. 19.
[7] Moreover, in principle, the identity of creators and their rights (royalties, or contractual entitlements) can be encoded into the electronic fabric of works distributed in digital form. This sort of "rights management information" can form the basis of automated payment systems that involve minimal levels of bureaucracy. Digital distribution techniques require LESS agglomeration of rights, not more; and LESS standardization, not more.
[8] See CLA v UK Universities (Copyright Tribunal).
[9] Out of the Box, para 3.5.5.
[10] Ibid, para 3.5.11 (asserting that programme makers are recording music overseas where the rates for musicians are significantly lower).
[11] See H.-P. Hillig, 'Contactual Freedom in German Copyright Law' in H. Cohen Jehoram (ed.), Copyright Contracts 121, 132 (Sijthoff, Alphen aan den Rijn, 1977) (arguing against a general rule on proportionate remuneration).
[12] In some circumstances, as with the right to remuneration, this flexibility might be introduced by recognizing some minor exceptions.
[13] The German law on equitable remuneration is qualified by a provision stating that "if a remuneration is stipulated in a collective agreement or common remuneration rule … the equitability thereof shall be presumed." So called "common remuneration rules" are rules drawn up by authors' associations and users' associations and are intended to take into account the circumstances of the relevant regulatory area, as well as the structure and size of the exploiting parties.
[14] The provision applies to the authors of literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, but the presumption does not apply to the authors of the screenplay or dialogue or the composer(s) of music specifically created for and used in the film. If there has been a presumed transfer, or a voluntary transfer of the rental right to the producer of a film, the author should be entitled to equitable remuneration under section 93B(1) of the CDPA.
[15] The Rome Convention of 19 June 1980, on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations, ratified by all Member States of the EC, allows parties to contracts to agree on which national law to apply. As a consequence of this, the danger exists that whatever mandatory rules are developed for the protection of authors, whether at a national or European level, publishers and entrepreneurs will inevitably utilize their bargaining position and knowledge of private international law to excise the operation of the mandatory rules by requiring that the contract specify as the applicable law a regime which has no such rules. In fact, it is foreseeable that if intervention by way of mandatory terms increases, more and more publishing (etc.,) contracts will specify the law of the US as the applicable law.
[16] As a result of the recent amendments, German law provides that where exploitation occurs predominantly in Germany, the rights to adequate remuneration and proportionate remuneration under Arts 32 and 32a apply (even if the choice of law in the contract is other than German): Art 32b(2).
