Don't Take My Word For It…Please Listen to What the Winners Have to Say.
Vivian R Probst, Winner – Pitch Week I
Vivian's first published novel, Death by Roses, began after her older sister died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2008. She worked through her grief for five years as she wrote her novel. She then submitted her manuscript to WWCR's icon Pitch Week Competition and won!. Her hilarious novel, Death by Roses is now available in fine bookstores everywhere and at online retailers.
"During feedback, it wasn't always easy to hear where the issues were in my story but it was important for me to hear. At times, it felt like I was sort of swimming towards a shore and they were right there with me so I didn't drown in the process. If you're serious and you really want to be nurtured and challenged to really complete your work and get into the marketplace, there is no better place that I can think of to accomplish this other than When Words Count Retreat."
Marie White Small, Winner – Pitch Week II
Light and air, the roar of the river, kids chasing paper airplanes on city blocks, and crows watching from the treetops — these are the backdrops of Marie White Small's lyrical novel, Stony Kill.
"Many talented writers are never seen or heard…Pitch Week is a rare opportunity to solve both problems."
Lisa Smith, Winner – Pitch Week III
Lisa Smith's memoir, "Girl Walks Out of a Bar," is a darkly comic and wrenchingly honest look at high-functioning addiction in the world of corporate law.
"As a successful New York City lawyer, I had the means and the skills to hide my cocaine and alcohol addiction from close friends, family and co-workers. One morning, something snapped – and I decided to stage my own intervention," Smith explained. "In telling my story, my hope is to inspire others like me, and to give them the courage to get help."
"It is so difficult for any new writer to get the attention of a literary agent, let alone a publisher. To have access to an A-team of publisher, literary agent and publicist, all working on my behalf, is extraordinary. And the support I have received from When Words Count Retreat has been tremendous. They gave me great feedback and encouragement throughout the process, and they are truly invested in helping to develop and promote undiscovered writers."
Gary Vikan, Winner – Pitch Week IV
Author of Stolen and Sacred – The true-life adventures of museum director Gary Vikan as he deals with looted antiquities, crooked dealers, deluded collectors, and murky financial transactions are chronicled in an adventurous and insider's look at a rarified world.
Read more about Gary's win in The Baltimore Sun.
Charita Cole Brown, Winner – Pitch Week V
Author Brown takes us on her personal journey through her harrowing memoir, Defying the Verdict: My Bipolar Life. Charita Cole Brown was not expected to finish college, marry, and have children or a career. Yet Ms. Brown defied all the predictions. Walk these miles with this fiercely determined woman.
"Pitch Week V was an extremely harmonious group of contenders. We encouraged each other to present our ' A' games. I personally benefited from the WWC expert coaching and editing services. I embraced the theater actor's commitment to leave it all on the stage. And in a tight race won by two points."
Camille Robinson, Winner – Pitch Week VI
Camille Robinson takes our hearts on a soul-stirring journey through the trials and tribulations of a Louisiana mixed-race slave owner who falls for a free woman in his employ in her African American Historical Romance novel Unloved.
"My experience was one that words cannot describe. I learned to hone my craft at WWC, while building dynamic relationships with talented authors. The journey was worth its weight in gold. The feedback and exposure to the judges were priceless. I'm more than grateful for having the opportunity to participate in such a life-altering competition."
Sally Newhart, Winner – Pitch Week VII
Mule Tales from the French Quarter presents a concise history of the mule in the city of New Orleans, throughout the state of Louisiana and the United States. It is interspersed with stories told to Sally by the carriage drivers of New Orleans who spend their days, and nights, driving locals and tourists to the Cemeteries, the Garden District and around the French Quarter. It is an adult, sometimes inebriated, version of "Kids Say the Darndest Things."
"There were six talented writers in Pitch Week VII. Each of us had professional help over a period of months to edit, perfect an elevator pitch, design a cover, write cover copy, put together a marketing plan and develop a basic book presentation. I was fortunate enough to win the publishing deal, but we all were in a position to self-publish at the conclusion of the competition. Each of us left the process at the When Words Count Retreat with five new friends and a home in Vermont where we plan to return forever. I know I will."
James Horner, Winner – Pitch Week VIII
In its exploration of American male stereotypes and in its suggestion of vulnerability as a key to masculine authenticity, James's Victoria Falls dares to embrace those humane qualities of love, kindness, and creativity that have of late been extolled as the provenance of soul-searching women but have been largely ignored in American fiction about men.
"When Words Count Retreat is a place where the dreams of aspiring authors come true. It is a place of expectation and encouragement, a place where writers hone their skill while working in a writing community, a place where the beauty of the natural surroundings inspires personal excellence.
I began with just an idea, but through successive visits to WWCR and the mentoring and coaching of resident experts, that idea became a novel, and that novel became the nexus for my personal transformation and new hope for the future.
All of us who participated in Pitch Week VIII are grateful for the friends we made and the life lessons that we shared together."
Sarah Ward, Winner – Pitch Week IX
Sarah Ward's inspiration for her current novel Aesop Lake was a local news story about a young man who was bullied for being gay. When her youngest child came out at the age of fourteen and faced issues of gay rights and bullying in rural Vermont, Sarah knew that she had to tell this story. Sarah is also the author of the self-published novel, Stone Sisters. In 2007, she won the New England Anthology of Poetry's Editor's Choice Award for her poem "Warmer Waters."
"Pitch Week is a unique opportunity to develop yourself as an author and an entrepreneur. Learning the craft of pitching, how to become the brand and to market one's art is truly valuable in an industry that can seem overwhelming to new authors.
The coaching aspect of this competition makes all the difference.To be able to meet with the judges prior to the pitch week and learn from their feedback, with the support of two writing coaches makes this opportunity incomparable. I feel confident that my co-competitors will find great success in the publishing world and hope that we will remain friends for many years to come.
I am grateful for the opportunity that Pitch Week IX provided to bring Aesop Lake to life on the page."
Here's Exactly What You'll Learn from Pitch Week!
How to write stronger manuscripts
The knowledge and skill to pitch your book to industry professionals
Better book-cover designs
How to structure compelling bios and cover copy
How to make your pitch using the right technology
Greater poise and self-confidence in pitching your work and leading public book readings
Broader and more effective strategies for marketing your book
Equally important, you'll have the opportunity to build personal relationships with the judges and to network with them. In other words, everyone wins. And the better each contestant performs, the greater the likelihood that he or she might walk away with an offer of their own.
We look forward to meeting you and reading your novel!
If you decide to step up and enter Pitch Week, we will hold your feet to the fire as you achieve the greatness you've always had inside you.

Mr. Herbold Wagner II
Wagner Provisions Company, Inc.
54 E. Broad Street
Gibbstown, New Jersey 08027-1475
Dear Mr. Wagner:
An inspection of your facility located at 54 E. Broad Street, Gibbstown, NJ was conducted by investigators from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 21, 26-29, 2011. This inspection verified that your firm manufactures and distributes food products, specifically acidified food products.
As a manufacturer of acidified foods, you are required to comply with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act) and the federal regulations relating to the processing of acidified food products. These regulations are described in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 108, Emergency Permit Control, (21 CFR 108), and Part 114, Acidified Foods (21 CFR 114). The Emergency Permit control regulations were issued, in part, pursuant to section 404 of the Act, Emergency Permit Control, 21 U.S.C. § 344. A temporary emergency permit may be required for acidified foods whenever a processor has failed to fulfill the requirements of 21 CFR 108.25, including registration and filing of process information, and the mandatory requirements of 21 CFR 114. In addition, based upon certain criteria in Part 114, acidified foods may be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(3) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(3), in that they consist in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or if they are otherwise unfit for food, or within the meaning of section 402(a)(4), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4), in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. Your firm's failure to fulfill the requirements of 21 CFR 108.25 and mandatory requirements of 21 CFR 114 renders your Herb's Pickled Sour Onions and (b)(4) Sour Onions adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). You can find the Act and the Acidified Food regulations through links on FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
We have received your letter of October 6, 2011, submitted in response to the FDA-483, List of Inspectional Observations, issued to your firm at the close of the inspection. It has been made part of our official files. Our comments regarding your response follow each violation listed below.
The significant violations we found at your acidified food processing facility are as follows:
1) As a commercial processor engaged in the thermal processing of acidified foods, you must, not later than 60 days after registration and prior to the packing of a new product, provide the Food and Drug Administration information as to the scheduled processes including conditions for heat processing and control of pH, salt, sugar, and preservative levels, and source and date of the establishment of the process, for each acidified food in each container size, as required by 21 CFR 108.25(c)(2). Specifically, your firm failed to have a scheduled process on file for the acidified food product, "Pickled Sour Onions in Vinegar Brine," you manufacture.
We acknowledge that your firm, in conjunction with your process authority, submitted a scheduled process filing (SID (b)(4)) on December 7, 2010; however, this process was returned on February 9, 2011, and therefore, there is no current process on file for this product at this time and a revised process needs to be submitted.
In addition, your firm fails to manufacture acidified foods in accordance with the scheduled process in violation of 21 CFR 114.80(a)(1). Specifically, the critical factor of "Maximum Percentage of Onions in Pack Brine is (b)(4) by weight" was identified in your process authority's process source letters (dated October 22, 2010 and September 28, 2011), and your firm is not monitoring the weight of the onions to ensure this critical factor is met. We acknowledge that your October 6, 2011 response includes an example of a new process record that identifies the weight of the onions as parameter to be monitored and recorded; however, this response is inadequate as you did not demonstrate that you are adhering to the scheduled process by monitoring this critical factor.
2) Your firm fails to maintain processing and production records showing adherence to the scheduled process, including records of pH measurement and critical factors intended to ensure a safe product in violation of 21 CFR 114.100(b). Specifically, the following critical factors were not monitored and recorded on processing records:
a. The pH of the Brine Solution is required to be (b)(4) and your scheduled process states that records should be maintained for the brine pH, the pH when removed from refrigeration, and the pH after 24 hours.
b. The ambient temperature of walk-in cooler #2 was only monitored once per day and it is not equipped with a continuous monitoring device. Your scheduled process indicates that "Acidification at (b)(4) to pH (b)(4) is a critical factor. On September 26, 2011, our investigators observed that the temperature of walk-in cooler #2 was at 62°F after onions had been placed in the unit. This was attributed to the fact that the cooler is only turned on during production days and it had been turned on later in the day than usual; the temperature monitoring record for September 26, 2011 indicated the unit was not in service as the check had been conducted in the morning before the unit was turned on.
c. The time and temperature for the "Thermal Processing Prior to Shipping" step in your scheduled process is listed as a critical step. Your firm had no monitoring records for the requirement to hold "for at least (b)(4) pH must be (b)(4) or lower."
We acknowledge that your response indicates that the pH of the brine solution and the temperature of the cooler will be recorded; however, as above, you failed to include completed records that demonstrate the promised corrective actions are being satisfactorily implemented. We also note that your response failed to address Observation 2c; however, we note that the thermal processing storage requirements have changed in your scheduled process dated 9/28/11. These time and temperature requirements should still be monitored as they are considered critical factors and we cannot determine if any corrective action has been implemented for this portion of the observation. The monitoring and recording of these critical factors will be verified during the next inspection of your firm.
3) Your firm fails to identify each container with an identifying code permanently visible to the naked eye in violation of 21 CFR 114.80(b). Specifically, your firm used stick-on labels to identify a "use by" date on each product container; however, the regulations state that the code shall specify the year, day and period during which the product was packed.
Your response states that you will stamp each container with a permanent ink stamp. This would be considered acceptable, except that you still intend to mark the product with a "use by" date rather than the pack date as required by the regulations. Furthermore, your response states that the outer cartons include the pack date and the use by date. Please indicate where the pack date is on the outer carton and include a label or photo of a label with your response.
This is a repeat violation, and was previously discussed with you during our inspection of September 9-21, 2010.
4) Your firm failed to prepare and maintain files on a current procedure for recalling products that may be injurious to health; for identifying, collecting, warehousing, and controlling products; for determining the effectiveness of recalls; for notifying the Food and Drug Administration of any recalls; and for implementing recall programs as required by 21 CFR 108.25(e). Specifically, your firm did not have a current" completed recall procedure on file for your acidified food product, "Pickled Sour Onions in Vinegar Brine."
Your response indicates that you now have a recall procedure in place; however, a copy was not provided with your October 6, 2011 correspondence. As such, we cannot verify the stated corrective action or evaluate the procedure for adequacy.
We request that you notify this office in writing within 15 working days of receipt of this letter stating the actions you will take to correct the violations discussed above and to prevent their recurrence. Include documentation that illustrates these corrections, if applicable. If corrective actions cannot be completed within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and a reasonable time within which the
corrections will be completed.
Failure to make prompt correction may result in enforcement action, including seizure, injunction, and emergency permit actions being initiated by FDA This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations at your facility. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products distributed by your firm are in compliance with the Act and its implementing regulations.
Your reply should be sent to: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 10 Waterview Boulevard, 3rd Floor, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, Attn: Sarah A Della Fave, Compliance Officer. If you have any questions, you may contact Ms. Della Fave at 973-331-4910.

Nick takes five to help research beat cancer
Originally published by Nick Harvey
North Devon MP Nick Harvey became a 'citizen scientist' this week to the fight against cancer.
Nick tried out Cancer Research UK's newly-launched Cell Slider website, which presents real images of tumour samples to users in the form of a game of snap - where they are advised which cells
to analyse and which to ignore.
It is hoped that the website will help more samples to be analysed faster and more effectively, freeing up Cancer Research UK experts to do other important research.
At present, the process of identifying the certain molecules in cancer cells which help scientists understand why people respond differently to cancer treatment is a slow one. It is hoped the Cell Slider project will help accelerate this research.
To see the website for yourself, go to www.cellslider.net
Commenting, Nick Harvey said:
"Research is the number one enemy of cancer. With more than 3 people every hour in the South West being diagnosed with the disease, it is vital we continue to make big advances in the battle against it.
"This exciting new initiative from Cancer Research UK will mean that people in North Devon can play their part in helping beat cancer from the comfort of their own homes. More than half a million images have already been analysed, and as a 'citizen scientist' you could be part of the next big discovery.
"I'd encourage all local people to take five minutes to try the Cell Slider website and help the charity's doctors and scientists continue their important work."

What are some good, SAFE crib alternatives? I really don't want to buy a Crib...at all. I plan on buying a pack-n-play with a bassinet on the top for the first few months, but what about after they grow out of that? Will I HAVE to buy a crib? Or are there other alternatives?
Why no crib?
What's wrong with a crib?
a laundry basket with a pillow in it...lol.
Cribs are nice.....but a pack and play would work too.
The bassi net on the pack-n-lay is really only good for changing. Pack-n-play is an awesome substitute. have you though about just a bassinet or even co-sleeper?
Quoting Baby_Fitz:
Umm a crib is your safest and best bet! Not to mention its more comfortable for your child....Would you like to sleep on a hard surface every night in a play pen? You could do a cradle but the baby will soon be sitting up and youll need something bigger. Why not invest and get a crib that has two heights and can be turned into a toddler bed?
I use a pack n play due to lack of space and it works great. My son is four months old and he still sleeps in it. Plus it has many great advantages (play pen) and its PORTABLE which is a huge plus! we take it everywhere!
You should just get a convertible crib, they have really nice ones for pretty cheap.
My crib converts into a toddler bed, day bed, and twin bed. It was only around $250. And it actually looks nice. It's really worth it.
The only other option is a pack n play if you're talking about something you can use for a long time. Bed side sleepers and bassinets usually have low weight limits of around 15 lbs. A pack n play can be made more comfortable as they get older. I took a thick but firm piece of foam, cut it to size, and then put a sheet around it when my daughter got older to use at her grandparents house since we house-sat over there quite frequently. Otherwise, a crib is actually a good idea. If you're worried about the cost and how long they're used, then get a convertible crib that goes from crib-toddler-daybed-full size head/foot board. You can buy a good one for $150-200 which isn't too bad of a price.
why not just put the kid in a toddler bed as soon as it gets home from the hospital

I am offended at the suggestion that I am "stirring the pot." Is this a personal attack? Someone make him stop!

Well Chaz, I agree with most of that, but I am going to have to respectfully disagree with part of your assessment about all those that disagreed. that is simply not what i was thinking initially and I am a property owner. A lot of people have missed some important details in this. I think he screwed up for reasons that haven't been discussed yet. I didn't want to say anything because it makes him look way worse than any of the jokes. However, I did agree that he did (EVENTUALLY) do the right thing.
Lets review the original message for a minute.
"Yesterday I got wind that a old time family friend was going to stock a small section of a creek by their newly aquired cabin so the young children wouldn't have to deal with the crowds. However, the stream is class A and one I fish all the time. When I was there Monday I noticed the stream bed was dug out. Putting 2 and 2 together I realized this is where they are placing the fish. With there piss poir attitudes and "I'll do it anyway" mentality they are gearing up for Sat. "
Lets look at this chronologically. It was posted on 4/12 which was a Thursday. He noticed the stream was dug out on Monday. He did nothing at that time. If it were as bad as he expressed in a later message, he should have called as soon as he got near a phone (IMO). that is what i would have done. He didn't call until after he got wind that they were going to stock it for the kids. To top that off, he couldn't have warned them about it, because he "noticed" the hole before he found out they were going to stock it.
Based on all that, I had originally assumed the hole was small, because he didn't make the call. I wouldn't have either in that case. It appeared that he made the call because they planned to stock it with fish for the kids to catch. I felt that was a little strong at the time.
At this point, I don't know what to believe other than I ticked him off with my poor jokes. It looks more like the follow-up was to cover his butt because of all the negative responses, but I am not making that judgment. I can only go by what he actually said. Based on that, it looks to me like he didn't care about the hole, and only cared about the stocked trout. You tell me which is the more serious offense. I guess the bottom line is the call was made which was the right thing, but it appears to have been made for the wrong reason.
Anytime anyone sees heavy equipment pawing around in a creek, they should make a call immediately!
and I am dead serious this time. No, really.

Spotted on a late-night stroll
Sun, 14 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT —
The last thing anyone expects to see at 2:00 a.m. in the morning is a three-year-old walking alone close to a dangerous highway, but that's exactly what happened to Cecilia Jenkins early Thursday morning.
Jenkins was out for a midnight snack when her son noticed a three-year-old child standing on the sidewalk at the corner of Radium Springs and Oakridge Drive.
She says the child was about to try and cross the intersection.
"It's Thursday night, people are drinking and coming and going to clubs. It could've been a fatality," said Cecilia Jenkins, owner of Little Learners Academy.
Jenkins immediately drove over to the child, checking for injuries while calling for police. She says fortunately the little girl's language skills were developed enough to point police in the direction of her home, which was almost a mile away.
Police cars arrived and began surveying the area.
"Within that perimeter, they began knocking on doors to try and determine where the child came from and if they could locate a parent or a relative," said Phyllis Banks, Albany Police Department Public Information Officer.
The curious toddler was returned to her parents. Her mother, Lawanda Henderson, says the entire family was asleep when the child left the home and they don't know how she got out.
Albany police officials say make sure to check on children throughout the night and make sure all of the doors of the home are locked.

On Saturday March 1 Westham Community Group are staging the first Heart of Westham (HoW) community open day supported by the Working with You project being managed by the Weymouth and Portland Borough Council. The Group hope that as many people as possible will turn up as it will be free of charge and will be held at the Weymouth Community Safety Centre (Fire Station) between 11.00am and 1.00pm. There will be entertainment for younger residents including a bouncy castle and possibly some face painting and an opportunity to have a look around Firewise and see what happens when a house catches on fire and learn what to do about it. Everyone who attends will be entered in a free draw for some worthwhile prizes supported by local companies.
The purpose of the event is to publicise all that is available for Westham residents, young or old, mostly in Westham itself but elsewhere in Weymouth in some cases and try and remove the idea that there is "nothing to do" in the area. This includes as wide a range of activities as possible and there should be plenty on offer which might be of interest for residents of all ages. Organisations that put on activities in the local halls and community buildings will be there with information about what they offer. Some organisations that are looking for volunteers to help them in a variety of ways will also be taking part. Charities, scouts and guides, lunch clubs, art and music groups, fitness groups, churches should all be present.
Just drop in for an hour and surprise yourselves about just what is going on in and around Westham, Lanehouse and Southill, and what you could join in with, either as a participant or as a volunteer helper.
Coffee, teas and soft drinks will also be available.

I've noticed on some people the nose looks really shiny after there rhinoplasty. Almost looks like plastic. What is the reason for some people to end up with a really shiny nose?
Why Does the Nose Look Shiny and Un-natural After Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 4
Shiny Nose after Rhinoplasty
Oily skin post rhinoplasty is common. This can subside after 4-6 months, but it can last upwards of one year post-op. Changes in the texture of your skin are normal. Secretions can occur after rhinoplasty because your blood circulation has been modified since the procedure and swelling occurs. You might also experience an excess of oil on the nose as the sebaceous glands have been disturbed due to the procedure.
Shiny Unnatural Look After Rhinoplasty
You can sometimes see this type of change when the nose is puffy and swollen following rhinoplasty surgery. This will usually subside after the first 10-14 days as the swelling settles down.

Shiny nose after rhinoplasty
The nose is often swollen and shiny because of the swelling and reaction to healing. It gets better with time.

Automakers: viral marketing at work
If it isn't viral it won't work. Everyone is doing it viral, why shouldn't we? These might be typical questions for an interactive marketer working for a carmaker. A couple of days ago we talked about Toyota Scion, everybody remembers all the buzz generated by the evil advertisement of a cat loosing his head in a Ford SportKa. Playing with the words we can really say the buzz in the automotive industry is all around viral marketing, as an article on Autoweek points out.
The problem is that the statement I did at the beginning of this post, could also work the other way around. I mean, there might be an inflation: when there are too many buzz' to listen to, some of them (or most of them) won't be heard.

text: Hi all, on Ubuntu intrepid using gcc 4.3 I have problems using weave together with blitz converters. There is already an old ticket: http://www.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/739 Here is a minimal example to reproduce the problem (even with SciPy 0.7.0): from scipy.weave import inline, converters from numpy import array a = array([1]) code = "return_val = a(0);" print inline(code, ['a'], type_converters=converters.blitz) For the complete error output look at the ticket. The essential part is: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scipy/weave/blitz/blitz/funcs.h:530: error: 'labs' is not a member of 'std' ... /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scipy/weave/blitz/blitz/mathfunc.h:45: error: 'labs' is not a member of 'std' As a workaround I should use gcc 4.2 but the also in the ticket mentioned patch from debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=blitz%2B%2B.patch;att=1;bug=455661 seems much easier to apply. It is only two includes (both #include <cstdlib>). The patch workes well and all tests scipy.weave.test('full') are ok. Is there any reason why the patch is not applied in SciPy? I have even tested the patch with Ubuntu hardy (SciPy 0.6.0) and gcc 4.2. There at least the number of errors and failures does not change with or without the patch. Best regards, Lars

/dev & /udev and cdrom / dvd drives
Hi all,
I know that this post should probably be in the MEPIS distro forum so please don't flame me.!!! :tisk:
I feel this forum may be more productive with the answers...:D
Running SimplyMEPIS 3.4-3 (kernel 2.6.15-1-586tsc) - Debian based.
Machine setup:
ASRock VIA M/B - AMD Athlon 1800Mhz CPU - 768MB DDR Ram
1 x 20GB HDD (hda) - 1 x 80GB HDD (hdb) - 1 x BENQ cdrom/cdrw (hdc)
1 x SAMSUNG dvd/dvdrw (hdd) - BENQ 17" LCD monitor.
I can read cd's in both cdrom (hdc) & dvd (hdd) drives & dvd's in dvd (hdd)
drive - no problems!!!
PROBLEM: with current system config cd's can only be burned using the dvd (hdd)
drive - not the cdrw (hdc) drive! :cry:
QUESTION: How can I change the system config to allow burning of cd's in the proper cdrw
(hdc) drive AS WELL AS in the dvdrw/cdrw (hdd) drive if I choose to? :scratch:
Current setup in /dev :
LINKS:- cdrom --> hdd
cdrw --> hdd
dvd --> hdd
dvdrw --> hdd
Block Devices:- hda (hda1)
hdb (hdb1 - hdb2 - hdb3 - hdb4)
Current setup in /dev/.udev/db :
block@hdc = E:ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:11.1-ide-1:0
block@hdd = E:ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:11.1-ide-1:1
Current setup in /dev/.static/dev :
cdrom link to /dev/scd0 (Unknown)
cdrom1 link to /dev/scd1 (Unknown)
dvd link to /dev/cdrom (Block Device)
Using cdrecord, mkisofs & growisofs with K3B to burn cd's & dvd's as appropriate.
From DEBIAN :
Kernel 2.6 note:
Cdrecord is easier to use!
SCSI emulation for ATAPI IDE CD burners is no longer used for kernel 2.6
If you are using 2.6 and later, use dev=/dev/hdx where 'x' is the letter of your cdburner location.
I have 2 x drives that are 'capable' of burning cd's but only 1 x that is actually configured in MEPIS (Debian) -
would very much like to have the option of 'choosing' which drive to use when I want to burn a cd - not have it forced on me. :mad:
Any assistance with this would be very much appreciated.
I think all the "burning tools" like cdrecord and k3b do let you pick up the device which you'll use for burning. Just pick up the correct device before burning, and it should be ok; if it's about user permissions, at least k3b lets you alter the permissions so that you can run it as user and do the job.
In k3b check out the settings dialog from the menus. And cdrecord...well,
man cdrecord
cdrecord --help
Hi bOuncer!!
Thanks for the reply... I have already looked at the relevant 'man' pages for both cdrecord & k3b AS WELL AS used both to try to burn a cd - works ok to hdd (dvdrw drive) but not to hdc (cdrw drive) - even if I try to force it via 'options' in cdrecord (command line) or k3b - still only defaults to hdd (dvdrw drive).
That's why I posted here with as much info as I could - as I think the prob lies in the 'links' in /dev and /dev/.static/dev : cdrom / cdrw & cdrom / cdrom1.... The DEBIAN kernel 2.6 note - advises that SCSI emulation is not required anymore if using 2.6.xx kernels - BUT MAYBE - for me to get this prob sorted I may have to revert to using SCSI emulation as a work-around - haven't tried it yet - thought there may have been a solution thru these forums instead..
Thanks anyway..

Blaine has a chance to do something of a first at Blaine – win a state soccer championship.
The Bengals trailed 1-0 in the opening 15 minutes after Bloomington Jefferson converted a penalty kick only to respond with three goals in a 3-1 final in the Class AA semifinal game played at Mall of America Field at Metrodome Oct. 29.
Blaine answered back with its own penalty kick 1:12 later, in the 16th minute as captain Colton Nelson placed the ball inside the post, under Jefferson's diving goalkeeper to make it 1-1.
The decisive play of the game came 20 seconds from halftime as Jeremiah Strand did his best to open up space near the corner flag before sending a low cross into the goal box. Senior Mitch Boege was once again in the right place at the right time as he tucked the ball between the Jaguar keeper and the post to make it 2-1.
Blaine's T.J. Soehn made it 3-1 with an assist from Noah Bruder who was set up with a nifty heal pass from Boege. Bruder took the pass and made a cross-field pass to Soehn who weaved his way though the Jaguars defense before slotting home the goal.
Jefferson held possession early on but Blaine held its ground and didn't allow many lanes to push the ball forward against the Bengals.
The Jaguars came into the state semifinals on an eight game winning streak, 9-1-1 over the last 11 games. Meanwhile Blaine was 13-1-1 over the last 15 games and established a three game winning streak heading into the Oct. 29 game. The lone loss was the 5-3 second-half collapse against Champlin Park Oct. 4. Playing inside the Metrodome isn't anything new for Bloomington Jefferson who has four state tournament appearances over the last five seasons.

Photo Flash: William Peace University's INTO THE WOODS On Stage Thru 2/23
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of The Princess Bride becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
INTO THE WOODS is directed by Jason Dula and stars Dr. Wade Newhouse, Alex Reynolds, Maigan Kennedy, Jennifer Avery, Skylar Noblezada, Tyler Graeper, Tess Colby, Dalton Hood, Sawyer Stone, DJ Curtis, Michael David-Rowe, Julie Davis, Miranda Millang, Ian Ruguaru, Alexandra Finazzo, Melissa Compton, Erin Darcy, Jon Mace, Darryl Munroe, and Jessica Becker.For tickets and more information, click here.

Zimbabwe looking to put house in order
Very few vestiges of grandeur remain in Zimbabwe. While the gabled colonial homes still exist, there's a certain ruggedness to them now. It could be as insignificant as a tiny corner of peeling paint, but it's there as a reminder that once, not so long ago, some kind of degradation affected almost everything in the country. In the case of No. 53 Livingstone Avenue, the rot has set in more resolutely.
The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) head office is a poky cottage on one of Harare's most renowned streets, which also houses the Swedish Embassy, USAID and the country's Cancer Association. Once, it may have been quite a homely place, but now, with its front gate painted a violent shade of blue, a small steel table and chair leaning precariously in what could be a blooming garden and a white-turned-grey curtain barely hanging from the window, it's a lonely abode.
Inside, a solitary desk and chair take up most of the room, a smattering of African drums and traditional weapons lying on grass mats are the only forms of décor besides the mandatory framed photograph of president Robert Mugabe. The day before Zimbabwe were due to play Zambia in an international friendly, their first game of the year, there were two people in the office. Two people and a crisis.
"I don't know why they have gone to the ground without making arrangements," the frustrated secretary told the person on the other end of a telephone line. Before hanging up and venting: "Zambia have gone to practice at this ground even though it was not scheduled and now we are trying to send them to Motor Action ground instead but there is no-one there and Zimbabwe are training later.''
But, communication is one of the lesser problems facing ZIFA, as their modest headquarters, and their overworked secretary, testified to. Money is their insurmountable obstacle. "It is very difficult to play in Zimbabwe," Tapuwa Kapini, national goalkeeper who plays at South African Premier Soccer League club AmaZulu told ESPNsoccernet. "It's one thing to have talent but unless that talent can be secured and there is enough money being paid to players can look after their families, things are going to be difficult there."
With no funding from governments, football in the country relies on FIFA grants, donations and, increasingly, on wealthy individuals who have an interest in the game. Cuthbert Dube, president of ZIFA, is one such bankroller. Dube is also the group chief executive of the premier service medical aid society and has funded numerous national team trips. "He loves football, his heart is in football," Kapini said. "But he can't do it alone."
Indeed, he can't do it across every level and even though he has managed to keep money streaming into the highest tier, it's the activities below that are in danger. This year, one of the country's most popular and, traditionally, wealthier clubs, Dynamos, were unable to pay salaries to its players. The other Zimbabwean giant, Bulawayo-based Highlanders, were bailed out by a US $22,000 donation from the Mines Minister. Monomatopa, 2008 league winners, were in negotiations to sell their franchise, as were Little Kiglon, after both teams were in danger of having top businessmen pull out.
Joel Sengereto, a paper merchant, who owns Shooting Stars has been on the verge of doing the same on numerous occasions. "The only thing that has happened to me since I bought the club is that I have lost a lot of property," he said "It has affected my family very much but I enjoy the game so I keep putting my money into it." The Premiership is poverty stricken and only big, corporate sponsorship can change that.
"We have a sponsor for prize money in the league, but that is not enough because it means that we have to play a whole season without any funds coming in. We only get the money at the end, by which time some clubs may not have been able to fulfil their league commitments, because they would have run out of money," Sengereto explained. And, without money, Zimbabwean top-flight football finds itself trapped in a tumble dryer that is spinning out of control, because players leave, resulting in less interest from potential sponsors and so, even less money.
The only positive is that some of the income gained from selling top players can be ploughed into keeping the stars of the future, but even that is not ideal: "Yes, we use that money to boost our income, but sometimes we are accepting offers that are too small," Sengereto said. He referred specifically to his selling of teenage sensation Simba Sithole, who scored 10 goals in 11 games last season, to South African glamour club Mamelodi Sundowns. "We could have got a lot more for him but how could do you negotiate, when you are in a position where you can't even pay."
A deficiency of being able to provide the basics, like a liveable salary, are chasing more and more players out of Zimbabwe to other African countries. But, it is not necessarily sending them to their first-choice clubs, places they would go if properly managed and sold out of choice, not desperation. Kapini, who spent six years playing at Highlanders, moved to Platinum Stars in South Africa in 2006. He was on the verge of signing for Coventry City when the deal fell through and he took up an offer in South Africa.
"The problem is that we don't have agents who come to look for players in Zimbabwe and take them to Europe, if we did have that, I'm sure 60% of our national team would be playing in Europe," Kapini said. Last month, striker Knowledge Musona, who made his name at Kaizer Chiefs signed for German club Hoffenheim, but the bulk of Zimbabwe's top players are still grafting it out in South Africa or languishing at home. Those who stay in Zimbabwe remain little known, because the national broadcaster does not screen any Premiership matches, choosing to air competitions like the Champions League instead, depriving the league not just of exposure but of a possible revenue stream in television rights.
The national team do get themselves on the silver screen, when they play, events that are getting fewer and fewer. (Zimbabwe only managed to schedule one friendly this year.) Their lack of playing time is one of the key reasons they slumped to 131 on the rankings in October 2009 but they have slowly climbed their way up to 86.
They do manage to fulfil their continental commitments and have played in all their 2012 African Nations' Cup qualifiers so far, and lie third in their group, with two games to play. They have a tough World Cup qualification group, which includes Egypt but Kapini says that despite their financial situation, the morale in the team is high after their shock 2-0 win over Zambia last week.
"We have belief that we can compete,'' he said. ''Every other team also has players with two legs and two eyes, so there's no reason we can't beat them. It is our dream to play in the World Cup and we know are now a unit that is going somewhere."
Despite the "Dream Team" of the early 90s - who were ranked in the top 40 in the world - the image of football has slumped, especially as it is still slinking through the shadows of the Asiagate scandal, which resulted in FIFA intervention last month. A year after the incident was made public, ZIFA have finally decided to appoint a disciplinary committee to investigate the tours of the Far East. It's all part of Dube's elaborate, albeit delayed, house-cleaning exercise.
And, even the office at 53 Livingstone will not escape the broom it seems. Dube called the headquarters "haunted and cursed" and said that ZIFA will be looking to relocate to building that encompasses the spirit of football a little better.

FP - Former No.1 Rafael Nadal on Monday moved back to fourth in the world tennis rankings after his victory at the Italian Open in Rome.
Nadal, who slipped in the rankings after missing seven months through injury, continued his impressive comeback form with a comprehensive 6-1 6-3 defeat of Roger Federer to claim his seventh Rome title.
Less than a week out from the French Open, the Spaniard trades places with countryman David Ferrer who drops to fifth.
The only newcomer in the top 10 is Serbian Janko Tipsarevic, who moves up one spot from No.11 in place of Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka.
Fellow Serb Novak Djokovic remains the clear-cut world No.1 ahead of Britain's Andy Murray and Federer. Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic stays at No.6 ahead of Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro and Frenchmen Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet.
Nadal fired a warning shot to his French Open rivals with his demolition of Federer, his Swiss rival in no doubt as to the Spaniard's prospects of lifting an eighth Roland Garros crown.
"He is not going to come back 20 per cent fit. He was only going to come back when he was 100 per cent healthy ... and now he is the favourite for the French Open," said Federer.
But Nadal warned form is no guarantee against an early upset.
"Maybe it is enough, but what can I tell you? If I play like this and I arrive at Roland Garros and somebody beats me, I will shake his hand," said Nadal, who has won six titles in eight tournaments since his return to the tour in February.
"When you play and win many titles in a row like I am doing, then you are doing things well. I could reach Roland Garros and lose in the first round - this is the sport and this is tennis."
In the new women's world rankings, Serena Williams extended her lead at the top after beating No.3 Victoria Azarenka in the Rome final.
Russian Maria Sharapova remains at No.2, ahead of Azarenka of Belarus and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.
Italian Sara Errani moves to No.5, swapping positions with Li Na of China, Czech Petra Kvitova improves to seventh at the expense of German Angelique Kerber and Australian Samantha Stosur is up to ninth, trading places with former world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.

October 20 2013
Rest helps Guthrie contend in Vegas
By Sean Martin, PGATOUR.COM
LAS VEGAS -- Luke Guthrie's good play this week at TPC Summerlin proved an important point. An overly-ambitious schedule, not technical faults, were to blame for his poor finish to the 2013 season. Guthrie shot 64 on Sunday at TPC Summerlin -- his second 64 of the week -- and was in second place when he completed play at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, where the field was futilely trying to catch Webb Simpson.
Guthrie played 27 events in the abbreviated 2013 season, finishing a career-best third at The Honda Classic. He missed the cut in six of his final seven events of the 2013 season after a promising start to his rookie season; he finished in the top 30 in six of his first eight starts.
He had more than a month off after the Deutsche Bank Championship, and has returned to make his first two cuts of the season. He finished 40th at last week's Frys.com Open.
"It shows me that my scheduling, which I thought might have caused my bad play, this legitimizes it a little bit," Guthrie said about his play at the Shriners. "I think I played too much and started struggling. What can I take from that, is that if I schedule correctly and take my time, and maybe just play three in a row maximum, I can have a good, steady year."
This was Guthrie's fourth top-10 finish in 33 TOUR starts, and matched the second-best finish of his career. He also tied for fifth at the 2012 John Deere Classic in just his second TOUR start as a pro.
Guthrie is playing next week's BMW Masters in Shanghai, China, on the European Tour after not getting into the CIMB Classic. He's also playing the McGladrey Classic and OHL Classic at Mayakoba, the final two TOUR events of 2013.

Guyette: Transportation an important link to health care
February 16, 2014
For thousands of people in Weld County without private automobiles, an appointment to the doctor is unattainable without transportation assistance. Whether it's public transit, a carpool, paratransit service for those with disabilities, a taxi, or a ride with a friend, transportation is an important link to health care access in our communities.
Community transportation is a means to access medical care, to remain independent and self-sufficient and to participate fully in the life of the community
In the past, seniors and those with low incomes have had limited access to transportation. Now studies show that only a small percentage of low-income individuals own private autos and, those that do, often own cars that are too expensive to maintain whether it be due to insurance costs or routine repairs. Public transit is a big help but it is limited in its services. Many rural counties are not served by public transportation and patients must often travel long distances to medical appointments. This lack of access to public transportation routes may make medical services difficult or impossible to attain due to distant bus stops or mismatched operating hours. In addition, some people are too frail or sick and this prevents them from using public transit. Many areas have some sort of taxi service, but this can be prohibitive to many clients due to costs.
Senior Resource Services in Greeley provides transportation to those 60 years of age or better without regard to their income level. This non-profit organization provides services for the seniors in Weld County to help them remain independent, as well as increase their quality of life by allowing them to remain in their own home as long as possible.
It assists the elderly and their families in addressing the issues of aging by providing transportation to medical appointments, grocery shopping, social events, etc., and also provides other programs such as Senior Safety and respite care. This program has now expanded to Carbon Valley in south Weld effective September 2013 and provides much needed transportation for those in the Frederick, Firestone and Dacono area. One of the senior women living in Dacono would walk to Fort Lupton to visit her doctor because there was no public transit, friend or other means to get to her appointment. It is about six miles in each direction.
We are pleased to report that she no longer has that to face as our volunteers in the area provide her no-cost transportation wherever she needs to go in Weld County.

Non-emergency medical transportation is truly a critical link to accessing health care. Transportation is an essential component in gaining access not only to emergency care, but to routine appointments and other needed errands. Communities in Weld County with a program like Senior Resource Services make health care more accessible for Medicaid recipients, dialysis patients, patients without cars and many others. This reduces medical costs when patients do not skip routine or preventative health care services.
A program that provides no cost transportation is only attainable through the dedicated volunteers in those communities. Senior Resource Services currently provides over 500 rides per month utilizing volunteers. To learn more about this program or to become a volunteer contact our office at (970) 352-9348 or http://www.seniorresourceservices.info for further information.
Roseann Guyette serves as the project director for Senior Resource Services and is a retired dean from Aims Community College.

Prayer and Fasting for Egypt
Egyptian Christians say they'll be fasting and praying this week and they're asking us to join in.
With the rise to power of the Islamists, prayer for Egyptian Christians may be more crucial now than ever.
Here are just some recent developments:
- According to International Christian Concern, Christian families have fled the Sinai town of Ramah after Islamic militants threatened to kill them if they did not leave. Instead of standing up to the extremists in defense of the Christians, the governor reportedly encouraged the Christians to re-locate to another town.
- Attacks against churches are ongoing and Egyptian Christians were arrested and beaten recently because of the anti-Mohammed film trailer.
- Reports have also surfaced that some Islamist members of parliament are demanding government control of Egyptian Coptic Church finances.
- And though the Constituent Assembly beat back attempts of Salafists to impose strict shariah language in the new constitution that's being drafted, there's still a chance that Islamic law will be imposed on the society.
Won't you join with our Egyptian brothers and sisters in Christ for this time of prayer and fasting? They need us to stand with them -- one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. They date back to 43 A.D. -- six centuries before Islam.
Egypt needs a strong, vibrant Christian community shining light in the midst of darkness.
It needs the love of Jesus even more.
Here's a link to the Open Doors announcement about the three days of fasting and praying in Egypt, Egypt Prayer

THEY are the teams many are predicting will have to fight it out for the wooden spoon. Check out our interactive season previews and give your own verdict on our contenders.
The Eels have suffered the humiliation of finishing dead-last over the past two seasons and have been a rabble on and off the field. A new coach in Brad Arthur, a high profile recruit in Will Hopoate and a couple of canny acquisitions could go some way to ensuring they leave the cellar.
Click here for the Eels' full interactive season preview!
The Raiders sacked their highest profile stars in Josh Dugan and Blake Ferguson and their coach David Furner in 2013 and Sandor Earl was issued an infraction notice by ASADA. With a batch of promising junior stars at his disposal, it is now up to prodigal son Ricky Stuart to push the right buttons to turn potential into results.
Click here for the Raiders' full interactive season preview!
The Tigers start 2013 with arguably the best crop of youngsters of any club in the competition. The question is are they too reliant on youth, with not enough quality experienced players to nurse them through when times get tough? We'll soon find out, and with Mick Potter likely to feel the blowtorch from a volatile board if things go wrong, it could be a case of boom or bust.
Click here for the Tigers' full interactive season preview!
The Dragons had a season to forget in 2013 and after a diabolical performance in the Charity Shield, even the most optimistic fan would struggle to see them competing for the top eight this year. Josh Dugan's injured knee will sideline him for the first month of the season, putting the onus firmly on new recruits Gareth Widdop and Sam Williams or Michael Witt to create enough points for the Red V to stay competitive.

text: Imagine hot diamonds wrapped in moiré silk and you'll begin to understand the singular magnetism of French diva Anne Ducros. She can echo the thundering power of Aretha Franklin (if, that is, Franklin sang with a charming Marielle Mathieu lilt). She can smolder with Marlene Dietrich intensity. She's a kitten with tiger claws. Her scatting suggests the majesty of Sarah Vaughan, yet also rivals the authority of Carmen McRae. She can transform "Stairway to the Stars" into five-and-a-half minutes of euphoric foreplay, reinvent Lennon and McCartney's "Sexy Sadie" as sultry celebration of female empowerment, reveal the optimistic lining within the dark cloud of "Who Can I Turn To," harness the hard-won fulfillment of Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" and soar on the wings of an "Over the Rainbow" that seems equal parts Eartha Kitt and Annie Ross. Through it all, she remains a musician's musician, woven so tightly with pianist Olivier Hutman, bassist Essiet Okon Essiet, drummer Bruce Cox and saxophonist Ada Rovatti that the results are seamless.

What started as an incredibly gory – but good! – movie evolved into a franchise that is now associated with the flattering term, "torture porn." Cheap to make and sure to bring in X times the budget during Halloween season, they make Hollywood a lot of money. Naturally, an eighth installment is in the works, per Bloody-Disgusting.
The new movie will, apparently, be a continuation of 2010's Saw 3D, not a complete reboot, as had been rumored. So, there's that to look forward to. Adults with a taste for 1.5 hours of people getting dismembered, eighth graders trying hard to impress their crushes: form an orderly queue.
Serious question: does anybody out there actually enjoy the 'Saw' franchise? The first movie hit when I was in eighth grade, and everyone who saw it strutted around like hardasses. "Yeah, girl, I saw Saw. Wanna make out, because I'm so dangerous?"

You can now watch the chat below.THE 69 EYES's latest album, "Back In Blood", was issued in Europe (excluding Finland) on August 28, 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records (September 15, 2009 in the U.S. through The End Records).

The recording process took place both in Helsinki and Los Angeles. The first single from the album, "Dead Girls Are Easy", was described in a press release as "a nasty power anthem for sleazy pin-ups complete with a sing-a-long chorus aimed at those online chicks with the looks that kill!" The video for the song was directed by Margera and the artwork was designed by Estevan Oriol, whose work has graced countless covers from such artists as CYPRESS HILL, THE TRANSPLANTS and SNOOP DOGG.

Carnival Triumph "Arrested" In Concordia Lawsuit Flap
I'm sorry this family lost a loved one on the Costa Concordia, but this is not the way to about getting compensation. Bloomberg News Report
Wow, that's crazy.
Totally crazy.
Carnival will need to post an Insurance bond to cover the amount of the claim until its liability is legally established and the damages are determined appropriate. Some Legal Beagle was sitting up late nights!! If it turns out that this paticular Texas jurisdiction is unique in its application of what is claimed to be Maritime Law.....Carnival should pull out of that port (Galveston) as this type of lawsuit will spawn copycats!!!
It is curious how a German family decided to file the lawsuit in Galveston of all places, and not in the more logical Miami or Genoa Italy. I wonder if their is something unique to ports on the Gulf Of Mexico?
They are not accomplishing anything other than adversely impacting people who had nothing to do with the Concordia accident, and also not gaining any sympathy from those in Galveston who will be called to sit on the jury.
It all seems very strange. Why the Triumph? The Carnival Magic is also in Galveston. I can't help but wonder how close they even were to this relative.
You would think the magistrate would have simply told Carnival they had X days to post a bond first, and then threatened to seize the ship if they did not do it. But then again, no verdict has been determined so why does Carnival have to do anything, just because a suit was filed? It isn't as though Carnival is going to flee like a fugitive, or is a debt risk.
In the comments below the article, somewhat stated that the story was wrong and that it was a hoax.
Any confirmation of this?
According to John Heald it is not a hoax. Passengers report that U.S. Marshals are on the ship although they haven't done anything other than post some signs saying the ship is under their control.
The lawsuit is real.
Wow, I wonder why the story hasn't made the major news outlets yet...this will be interesting to watch it play out!
Now that I am booked on the Elation again, I am a bit nervous about this. What if it happens again?

Agent drops Browns QB Johnny Manziel as client
Johnny Manziel's agent, Erik Burkhardt, has dropped the Browns quarterback as a client, one day after police in Texas released a report in which Manziel's ex-girlfriend accuses him of hitting her several times.
"It is with deep regret that, after several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, his doctors, and my client himself, I have made the decision to terminate my professional relationship with Johnny Manziel," Burkhardt said in a statement.
Burkhardt added that he "will remain a friend and Johnny supporter" but "it has become painfully obvious that his future rests solely in his hands."

Manziel, who has started eight games since he was selected in the first round of the 2014 draft, is expected to be released by the Browns at the start of the new league year in March.
