Creative Writers compose stories that begin in one place and end in another. But this is not done in a vacuum. It is done within the lives of people, albeit completely fictional. Why do we start here and end there? The lives of the characters begin long before the book starts, and unless they die on the page, their lives go on. Why we seemingly pick two arbitrary boundaries is not a real problem with readers, but subconsciously it's prickly. A good way to psychologically handle this problem is with a technique called book jacketing.
Just like a good, old fashioned book jacket, sometimes called a dust cover, the book jacket wraps around the front cover and around the back cover. In a literary sense, book jacketing is when the author references something at the beginning of the story that we bring back at the end. It provides a satisfactory sense of closure to the story as a whole. It sort of makes sense of why we begin here and end there.
I'll give a few examples from my own novels, since I am more familiar with them than anything else. In my third novel, Prince, the main character, Charlie, proposes marriage to his sweetie, Lizzie, in chapter one. After she says yes, they talk about their future. Charlie thinks it'll all be bluebirds and sunshine and Lizzie is worried things may go poorly just because life does at times. They leave chapter one with a wager, if it isn't happily ever after then I'll owe you a coke.
I don't have to tell you things went south quickly. They never got married. As they are saying their good byes at the end, Lizzie reaches into a brown paper bag and pulls out a six pack of Coca-Cola. Charlie refuses them and insists that they will someday have their own happily ever after, just not at that time and not in that world. It's such an incidental thing, a can of soda, just it ties the story in a bow for the reader.
Prince is available of Amazon and Kindle. You can click here to find it.
My fifth novel, Pietas, begins with a nuthouse burning and patience running free while being chased by doctors and attendants. Two of these escapees are my main character, Darl, and his best friend, Benjy. Darl set the fire in order for the two of them to escape, which suits him since he was put in the asylum for burning down a barn. As they run away from the inferno, Darl says that the first thought that ran through his head was that he had no more excuse and had to visit his mother's grave.
Darl and Benjy, followed by others from the asylum, have adventures all over Mississippi during the Great Depression before settling down in Panther Burn. The citizens are slow to include these people, but with Darl's help, they end up on big happy town. But Darl kills a man and has to leave. As he rides off, he thinks about heading towards Jackson where his mother us buried. Here the book jacket is not an item but a thought. It functions just as effectively in summing up all the action of all these people into a single story.
Pietas is available of Amazon and Kindle. You can click here to find it.
Entanglement is my seventh and last novel. It begins with Rex shooting a mouse in the corner of his living room. His cousin, Axel, runs into the room and takes the gun from him. The gun belonged to Axel's dead father and he didn't like Rex playing with the gun. Later, Rex and Axel fight in public and neither are willing to let it go for reasons of their own pride. About halfway through the novel, Rex takes the same gun and kills Axel on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.
Rex flees to Cuba and settles in Havana. But after a decade there, he has the need once more to leave in haste for killing another man, so he returns the St Petersburg. His plantation is in ruins and the mansion is abandoned except of the butler. He used Rex's so it still worked, and he took it to go to the Governor's New Year's Ball that night. Things go badly for Rex, and driving away he almost has a wreck from being distracted. When he stops suddenly, the gun slides out from under the passenger seat. A policeman pulls Rex over for his erratic driving and Rex, a crack shot, unloads his gun on the cop, who ends up unharmed. The policeman returns fire and Rex dies. Here the book jacket item is important to the telling of the story.
Entanglement is available of Amazon and Kindle. You can click here to find it.
Not all of my novels are book jacketed, but it is a device available to writers. It can be something the story centers around, like a gun. It could be a thought like I need to visit my mother's grave. Or it may be something as innocuous as a can of Coke. Anything can be used as a book jacket.

So you've got some social networking profiles set up for your business. That's great! Now it's time to start thinking about what you will post.
And unfortunately, far too many business owners think it's time to start posting catalog pictures, specials and links to their websites. This constant stream of self-promotional content is not only boring, but also ignored by the majority of people on social networks. You see, people don't go onto social networks to see your ads. They go there to talk to people, engage, learn and have fun. If your posts aren't creating opportunities for this, people will ignore you. It's that simple.
So what should you post? Here's a look at the type of content that works well on various social networks:
- Instagram: Instagram is a photo sharing network. People share photos and other images, primarily through their mobile devices. Short videos can also be shared. To use this network for business, consider sharing photos that incorporate your products in interesting ways. For example, share a picture of your breakfast next to a cooking pot that you sell, or a picture of your running shoes next to a canister of your healthy shake. Animals are always fun too…maybe put up a cute picture of Fido, with your hand in the photo wearing a bracelet you sell. You can also put up pictures of inspirational quotes that incorporate a product and/or logo. The thing to remember about Instagram is that you can't include hyperlinks. So you can type your URL but people will need to cut/paste it into their browser to get to your site.
- Pinterest: On Pinterest, variety is key. If you simply post pictures of your products, you'll be ignored. Instead, think about the lifestyle related to what you have to offer (both product and opportunity.) One of the direct sales companies that I think uses Pinterest very well is Arbonne. Offering healthy, vegan skincare and other healthy living products, they are very in tune with the lifestyle of their target customers. So they offer healthy recipes, beauty tips, fitness pins, inspirational quotes and more to engage the people they want to reach. Think about the demographic you want to reach, and then share content that this audience enjoys. For example, if you sell scrapbooking supplies, project ideas from various blogs (not just your own) are a great choice. If you sell nutritional supplements, share diet and exercise tips. And for any direct sales business, office organization and business inspiration is always a good idea.
Facebook: Facebook has become a challenge with the reduced visibility of Pages. That said, it's still a place where you can connect with a lot of people, so you shouldn't abandon it entirely. On this network, talk about current events (like snow or the Olympics)…things that people want to talk about and engage with, links to content related to what you have to offer (the tips above work here too), contests, specials and discounts (in moderation), and more. If you're sharing through your Page, you can be a bit more business specific. If you are sharing through your Profile, you need to be a bit less direct. In this case, talk about your business as it applies to you. For example, talk about how excited you are that people have joined your team, or that you've achieved the incentive trip, or how much fun you had at your last party. But do it without the ask…where you ask people to spend money with you. Posts on your Profile are meant to peak interest and share information, not ask for the sale.
- Twitter: Twitter is being used in a variety of ways by direct sellers. If you think you're just going to constantly post links to your products and specials, you're doing it wrong. Instead, approach Twitter with an interactive mindset. You might use it to share information about public events with team members. Share links to blog post or other content related to what you have to offer. Keep some search columns going and see people who have specifically asked questions about what you have to offer, and be useful. And build some relationships: talk to people, follow influencers and learn from them, and share other people's content.
When you use social networks as a business owner, it can be so tempting to spout ads all day. But these won't serve you well, and will wind up wasting your time. Instead, take some time to thoughtfully craft regular content, and build up a community of people. This is where your long term success on these networks comes from.
Which social networks do you use to promote your business? What tips would you add to this list? Would love to read your thoughts in the comments.

Finding pantry pests while preparing a holiday meal can immediately curb any appetite. There are various varieties of pests that can invade food products, but the most common in Wisconsin are the Indian-meal moth, the Saw-toothed grain beetle, the Red flour beetle and the Cigarette beetle.
Although these pests are for the most part harmless, they are the last thing we want to see when we open a package of food.
Pantry pests are typically found in dry goods such as flour, pancake mix, cake mix, macaroni, cereals, dried fruit, spices, crackers and pet and bird food and surprisingly, even potpourri. Stored food insects will most likely infest opened products, but are capable of chewing their way inside or finding a way inside via a seam or fold in the packaging.
Food of any age can become infested, although food items that have been stored on shelves for long periods of time are most susceptible to infestation. Infestation can occur anywhere from the production process to storage on shelving in your home, but most infestations happen in store or in home.
Preventing Pantry Pests
- Inspect packages for damage at the store before bringing them into your home. Look for any tears or openings on the packaging. Also check the freshness date.
- Use oldest items in your pantry first. Rid your pantry of old, unused items.
- Store items in airtight containers, especially if you buy in bulk.
- Keep birdseed and pet food in closed containers and inspect those containers regularly.
- Keep food storage areas clean. Vacuum any loose food remnants in cracks and corners.
- Add a bay leaf to stored containers of dry goods such as flour and rice, the pungent smell repels many pantry pests.*
- Call a licensed pest management company if you find a pantry infestation.
The pest specialists at Safeway Pest Management are knowledgeable and ready to help with your pantry pest problem or any other insect problem that you may be dealing with.

Last Easter (2012) I took a trip to the Texas Hill Country to photograph the bluebonnets. I cut my trip a day short to drive back home and spend this time with my family. As I was driving, I began to reflect on the message of Easter and was really in awe of what it meant for Jesus Christ to have risen from the dead. I was even more amazed that He was willing to suffer on the cross on my account. Needless to say, I was giving a lot of thanks on the drive, knowing that I was not worthy; yet, by His grace I had been given a wonderful gift.
As I was winding through the backroads from the town of Lytle to get on highway 281, I rounded a curve in the road and saw this scene unfolding. I just had to pull over and try to get a photograph. I immediately envisioned a Biblical image, which I'll explain shortly. The shot itself presented a challenge as there were two lanes on my side of the road, a wide grassy median, two lanes on the opposite side of the median, and a bit of open space between the road and the fence-line where the fog was heaviest. I had to make some quick decisions as the sun was not going to wait for me.
Anyone who has ever photographed a sunrise knows that the sun comes up fast and there is little time to get the right shot. I needed to be on the other side of the highway but did not have time to drive and find a turnaround spot in the road. I had to shoot from my current position. From where I was, my 24-70 could not capture the scene without including the unwanted highway. I switched lenses to my 70-200 but those focal lengths cutout the important trees on each side of the photo. I decided to compose the scene for a panoramic image that I would create in post production. So, I switched back to the 24-70mm, knowing I would crop out the highway between me and the image that I wanted. Utilizing some neutral density and graduated ND filters, I was able to record what I had envisioned as my final photograph.
Now, back to the comment I made earlier about seeing a 'Biblical Image'. Perhaps because I had been in deep meditation about the meaning of Easter, when I rounded the curve I immediately saw the following:
* Trees – these represent us as people. I mentioned that the two outer trees were important and here is why. Outside of the balance they give the image compositionally, they represent how we as people are 'scattered' about the land.
* Fog – in this image, represents sin, which engulfs the people and leaves them unable to see clearly.
* Sun – represents the "Son" and just as the sun is "rising" on this easter morning, so too is the "son" risen.
* Tones in Sky – dark clouds giving way to the warmer orange/reddish toned colors in the sky, with the warmer/reddish tones representing the blood of Christ.
We all know what happens to fog when the sun comes up. So in this scene, one can envision the "son" (sun) rising and the "sin" (fog) dissipating. Now how cool is that? So as you enjoy this Easter with your friends and family, don't forget the real importance of the day and take pause for a moment to give thanks that the Son is risen.
Blessings to each of you and until next time…keep shooting. –KEVIN

I am into the indie side of music, what I prefer about indie is that it is more "real" and "human", I view current pop music as a blemish that will be forgotten die to it's lack of soul. I am a mod and my greatest influences are generally from Britpop bands.

How to Find a Japanese Girlfriend
I've always been fascinated with Japanese culture and especially Japanese women. This hub will give you tips on meeting and dating Japanese women.
There are some important differences in culture to maximize your chanes of meeting a Japanese girlfriend. Japanese culture is more structured than Western culture. Japanese women are concerned about their boyfriend dressing and acting appropriately in each situation. In the West we're more into indivualism and doing our own thing. A big part of winning your Japanese girlfriend over is being aware of her and her friends expectations.
If you're in a major city there is likely a Japanese conversation club or language exchange meetup that makes a great place to start your search. Be sure you don't get off on the wrong foot by hitting on all the Japanese ladies. Be your most charming, polite, dress well and show enthusiasm. A friend of mine quickly wore out his welcome by crudely asking every Japanese woman for a date at the first few meetings. Instead relax and have fun! Take your time and build some relationships. If a Japanese lady is showing you lots of interest - laughing, making direct eye contact, bringing you a small gift - you're off to the races. Remember you want to be building bridges not burning them. Take things slow.
Building up some basic Japanese conversation skills will make your Japanese friends feel more comfortable. Don't worry about being a Japanese expert, it's going to take some time and they're most likely more interested in improving their English.
Always get their email/contact so you can gradually build up a network of Japanese friends to hang out with. Most likely they'll get other Japanese friends visiting them. Great! Volunteer to guide them around your city and introduce them to some of your local friends.
Once you've made some local Japanese friends, you're almost guaranteed to get invited to visit Japan. Most likely you'll even be invited to stay with them for a few days.
In a small village or town news can spread quickly that there's a foreigner staying with/dating a local lady. Unless you're serious about her already, you're not going to have much chance to meet other ladies. In the big cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Sapporo you'll have a lot more freedom.
A good way to meet people once you arrive is to carry your Japanese conversation book with you. If someone catches you eye, you can get the ball rolling by asking for help pronouncing a word. This works both ways, I've had ladies ask me for help with their English conversation while sitting in the coffee shop. Anything that can start a conversation is good. On the train ask for directions. Don't worry about your Japanese not being good enough. Pointing to your desired station on the subway map and looking quizzical should start some conversation. When you're in Japan, you stand out like the raisin in the box of raisin bran. My first day, I got invited to a Yokohama Swallows pro baseball game as I walked down the street. Remember if you're having fun, you're most likely fun to be around.
If you get a job teaching English (Tokyo Times, Monday edition has the most jobs. Cold-calling every English conversation school I could find worked for me) there is one cardinal rule. Never date your students. If things go sour, you're pretty much guaranteed to lose your job.

What's harder than resisting one Dane man? Resisting two.
I don't date bikers. It's my one cardinal rule. No rough, rugged, tattooed egotistical maniacs on two wheels. Even if they are gorgeous, brilliant, and sport the prefix Doctor.
Bottom line, bikers are nothing but trouble.
Dr. Devlin Dane has had his sights set on my panties for months. But I've done a stellar job of fending him off. As Mercy Medical's most eligible bachelor, he has no problem in the panty dropping department. He's tall, dark, and inked all over. I get the appeal, I'm not dead. I'm not stupid either. He's a walking heartbreak waiting to happen.
But when Reese Dane comes crashing into my life – literally- the game suddenly changes.
Reese, the dark, brooding, motorcycle racing champion, knows exactly how to apply the right pressure on and off the track.
The two have an unstoppable pull like centrifugal force, and both bad boy bikers are determined to take me on a high-powered ride I'll never forget…

If I could give this book 20 stats I would! This menage romance is absolutely amazing from the starting light to the finish line. I was completely captivated with the characters, the story, the sex… just the whole book.
Kayla Devlin and Reese are freakin off the charts hot. The chemistry between them is very intense and nothing short of panty combustion. I made the mistake of reading this at work and had to stop a couple times just to cool off. Reese is more of a fun loving adrenaline junkie. Dev is more of a relaxed version of Reese. They are twins! Eeeep! HOT twins that have a love for bikes! Having been around motocross racing all my life I know how hot these guys are. Dev and Reese fit the bill quite nicely. Kayla is such a sweetie. Although their relationship is taking a lot of her she would risk everything he to keep them both happy and satisfied.
It was a very fulfilling read. I wasn't left short or feeling like it went too fast like the way Reese is. After all his motto is "give me fucking fast". This book was amazing. It left me breathless and in tears. It was a beautiful story with even more beautiful characters and M Never doesn't disappoint. She killed this book with complete and utter finesse. I don't think I've ever wanted to be a character in a book more than I have Kayla. 😉

"I'm not overreacting! You can't just pass me around to all your biker buddies and think it's okay! I'm not a fucking wrist watch you can just throw into the pot!"
"Kayla, do you honestly think I would've put you up if I knew I couldn't win? That I would let anyone else touch what belongs to us?" Reese crowds me into a corner.
"Us?" I squeak. Wait, what?
"Yes. Us. Mine and Dev's." He enunciates the words. "You. Are. Ours."
There's that word again. Ours.
"I don't understand."
"Baby, I think you do. I think you've always known where we would end up." Reese cages me in with his arms.
Dev materializes over Reese's shoulder, and I internally hyperventilate. I don't know who to look at first as my gaze compulsively darts between the two of them. Two, beautiful, roughneck men, who both look like they want to have me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
"How . . . how would this even work?" I crazily entertain the idea.
Both their faces split with a fiendish smile. I must have asked the million-dollar question.
Reese leans in closely, stopping my heart. "Let us show you," he murmurs so seductively my knees nearly buckle. I throw a questioning eye at Dev and he nods confidently.
"You both want this?" I ask with a small voice.
"It isn't about what we want anymore. It's all about you now," Dev voices.
Holy. Fuck.
"Say yes, Kayla." Dev's tone is soft and velvety. Irresistible. "Say yes to us."
I press my back against the wall praying for composure, but the longer they trap me, the more the pressure builds, the more my want fights to the surface, and my resolve falls away into oblivion. I find myself nodding because my ability to speak has become paralyzed.
"Good girl," Reese breathes before he throws me over his shoulder like a caveman.
"Hey!" I grab onto his shirt.
He swats me on the butt as he makes his way to the stairs. "Ouch!" I flail.
"That's for bouncing out on me. Never do it again. Got it?" He hits me once more for good measure.
"Fuck you." I flinch.
"In due time, baby."
I lift my head as Reese climbs the stairs with Dev hot on his heels.
Reality suddenly strikes. Is this really happening?
"Relax." Dev traps my chin gently. "We're going to take care of you. And make you feel so good." He pushes some dangling hair away from my face so I can see him. He's incredibly calm despite the carnal look in his eyes.
Once in my small room, Reese drops me on the bed. They each flank one side, making me feel like a trapped animal.
I kneel in the middle of the mattress at a loss at what to do next.
"Strip, baby," Reese instructs as he unzips his leather jacket and pulls the gun from the back of his pants, placing it on my nightstand.
I stay frozen in place.
I know I'm supposed to move, but what's clearly about to happen hasn't sunk in yet.
"Need some assistance?" Dev crawls up behind me and kisses my neck. A switch flips.
My eyes immediately roll backward. Yes, please, touch me. Both of you, please touch me.

Last week, I was performing upgrade to TFS 2015 Update 2. It all looked well for a very long time, untill one of collection databases failed to upgrade on step 1163 of 1171.
Clicking on error gave me some more information:
VS402642 found a backup job running against tfs_xxx database . Wait for the backup job to complete and the rerun the failed collection job from the Status tab.
From TFS Administrator Console i could see that the collection is offline, and job status is Failed. Trying to rerun it immediately fails with the same error.
For the next 15 minutes we tryed to locate if there is anything taking backup of the database, but there was nothing active - and one failed earlier. I could only assume, that backup job on SQL server kicked in while collection was under upgrade and didn't manage to finish, but also blocked successfull TFS update.
Making it short, we had to : quiesce to stop all TFS activities, detach collection database in SQL Management studio (do not detach in TFS!), killing all connections, attach collection database back, unquiesce.
After that job was able to rerun and finish the upgrade.
The lesson learned - make sure no scheduled backups can kick in while you perform your time consuming upgrade to TFS 2015 Update 2.

Andy looked at the umbrella by the door. Should he go after her, out into the rain, or should he just wait for her to come back?
He walked to the window, looking out at the turbulent weather.
He had always loved Cornwall, with its tempestuous seas and steep cliffs. But somehow, it's very wildness could make him feel uncontrollably angry, make him say things that he shouldn't!
He looked through the window, into the teeming rain. A lone figure walked towards him along the beach. It was Laura! Tall, willowy, beautiful, with her long black hair billowing behind her.
Andy turned and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He put down his empty whisky glass and with trembling hands, smoothed down his hair.
He thought back to earlier, the fight, the harsh words, the recriminations.
He had told her about Claire, the girl that he had met at work, how he had fallen in love with her, wanted to be with her, not Laura!
She had cried and begged, told him that she loved him and that she didn't want him to leave her.
She had run out of the chalet, into the wind and rain, saying that she needed to clear her head, needed to think.
She came closer. What would she say, would she be angry still, or would she accept that it was over?
Perhaps this holiday was a bad idea, maybe he should have told her before they had come.
What was that in her hand? He couldn't quite make it out. Something that she had picked up on the beach and thought may be useful, knowing Laura!
She opened the door, battling against the wind, and stepped into the room.
Her face was set, he couldn't tell what she was thinking, how she felt.
"Laura, talk to me! We need to discuss this, work out where we go from here!"
Her face suddenly became dark, frightening!
"I told you, I don't want you to leave me, I won't let you leave me!" Andy suddenly felt afraid. He had never seen this side of her before.
With horror he realised that she had a length of metal piping in her hand. She raised it above her head.
A look of confusion passed over Andy's face in the split second before the world exploded as Laura brought it crashing down on his head.
He fell to the floor, blood pouring from the wound. He looked up at her. "Why?"
She stood, silently watching as his breathing grew ragged and slow, the pipe dangling in her hand. "You will never leave me Andy, and you will never be with her", she whispered.
He took his last breath, sighed and went limp, his eyes staring blankly.
Laura turned, opened the door and walked back out into the storm. He would always belong to her now, nobody else could ever have him!

Your abs travail is one partially of a two part of the pack "attack plan" for six large indefinite quantity abs. An abs travail conjugate next to an abs fare is what gives you ace characterised plane abs. The diet's chief drive is to lessen the magnitude of bodyfat you pass so that your ab muscles can push through and change state in sight. Your abs sweat is designed to beef up your ab muscles and stock up their size and break up so you get the ripped "six battalion of beer" look. If you don't want ripple abs, save up the abs diet but degrade the glow of your abs exercise.
To get the go-to-meeting definition possible, the first-class discrimination of individualistic contractor groups (note: your rectus abdominis is in truth one one-person muscle, but has individual mini-muscle groups inwardly it. That's what forms your six battalion. They'll all part of a set of the one and the same muscle, but they are split by undersized areas of tendons and ligaments) and the optimum overall look, you essential pursue 3 key ideals.
1. Increase concentration. Improving overall midpoint mettle is a deeply serious portion of your abs exertion. Having a stabilized and strong mid-section will grant you the plinth that you want to complete more advanced exercises to reference point the another two key standards.Post ads:

To get it together your strength, act exercises much chop-chop but inert beside as such charge as you can. If you're but rather strong, you can use weights to stimulus the involvedness of the exercises. For example, if you're doing sit ups, put a few potatoes in a bolster covering and clasp it to your casket time you do all recurrent event. If you're doing straight leg crunches, belt some articulatio plana weights on and see if you discern the divergence.
2. Increase size. If your abs physical exertion increases the effectiveness of your abs, you will see an proliferate in massiveness too. Bigger abs system they're more than possible to performance done your natural object fat, and onetime you get the rift down, they'll truly pop out. To gain size, go for dragging reps of the rocky exercises. This is a traditionalistic bodybuilding technique, mistreatment dense weights and contained repetitions to occupy as abundant contractor fibers as conceivable for all sweat.
As mentioned above, you can use weights to extend the difficulty, but there are as well various organic bodyweight exercises which you can do short weights.Post ads:

3. Increase demarcation. Definition comes through two factors in your abs elbow grease - low bodyfat and symptomless removed ab muscles. To ensure you get comely change of integrity and outside definition, do bags of cardio so that your bodyfat is low and your skin is choky ended your ab muscles, and past net firm you target the abs from numerous angles inside your abs effort. Do dozens of differing types of abs exercise, and do bigger numbers of repetitions to meliorate overall pitch and body.
A key abs physical exercise should be conceived say your regular routine, and should aim to deride all of the 3 ethics above all through the time period. Go for one of the moral principles all day to bread and butter yourself interested and motivated, and to maintain your article reacting to the new ab exercises you're throwing at it.

Her name is Irina Vinnik, a Russian illustrator. Her work is remarkable. I will let her work speak for itself. This is January from her new calendar.
It is amazing how much there is on Pintrest. Its a great way to spread the love around. Especially since the thing is so random. Everyone anywhere can post things. Slide it under a header and the whole world suddenly has access to people and places that otherwise would remain unknown.
I wish she had a blog. But maybe I can get a widget for her Behance page. Until then, here is a link to her shop.

Put in ear plugs and quit whining.
It is kind of a confidence thing. I remember the same people in undergrad who were the first out during an exam were always the same people to talk loudly about how supposedly easy it was. Then you'd find out later that they got a B- or something. After grades it becomes: "Yeah, it was totally easy. I mean, if I actually tried I would have aced it." Sure. bottom line: all that matters is how well you do. take the time you need and don't think about the assclowns who think it's cool to slap their books around 5 minutes before the end.
Yesterday people were leaving starting halfway into the 3 hour exam. I thought that was inSANE. Are you telling me that you said everything you could possibly say in half the time it took everyone else?

Zoom H6 Handy Recorder
Free Shipping Available on Orders of $200 or more! Find Out More
Zoom H6 Handy Recorder
The Ins and Outs.
The H6 offers four main inputs (1-4), plus two additional inputs (L, R) that are derived from whichever capsule (X/Y, MS, Shotgun, or Dual XLR/TRS Combo) is plugged into the unit. The supplied XYH-6 X/Y capsule also provides a secondary input for connecting an external mic- or line-level signal via a stereo 1/8" Mic/Line In mini phone jack. When a connection is made to that jack, signal from the X/Y microphones is muted.
All four main H6 inputs (inputs 1-4) are combo connectors that can accept either XLR or 1/4" balanced or unbalanced phone cables. They can handle both micand line-level signals, which means that you can connect either external microphones or line-level devices like mixers, portable music players, electronic keyboards, or electric guitars or basses with active electronics (passive electric guitars or basses can also be connected with the use of a mixer or effects device). Internal switching contacts automatically detect the circuit of choice.
On the H6, all connectors use the industry standard Pin 2 hot on XLR connectors and Tip hot on TRS connectors, as shown here:
Each of the six inputs (that is, 1-4 as well a L, R) has a dedicated gain control knob. In addition, the four main inputs and the EXH-6 capsule feature a -20dB pad, allowing you to prevent distortion even when high-level signals are introduced. In fact, with the use of the Pad switch, the H6 can input a signal 30dB louder and 14dB softer than any other Handy Recorder model. In addition, all capsules utilize higher voltage preamps (5 volts instead of the more commonly used 3 volts) for distortion free recording, even at high volumes. A built-in instrumentation amp allows signals to be transmitted with minimal noise even when long cables are used.
If you're using high-quality condenser (powered) microphones with the H6, no problem—a simple menu option allows the unit to provide Phantom Power (either +12, +24, or +48 volts) to any or all of the main inputs (inputs 1-4). Inexpensive condenser microphones requiring Plug-In Power (2.5 volts) can be connected to the X/Y capsule's stereo 1/8" Line In jack.
The H6 Line Out is an unbalanced stereo 1/8" phone jack, located on the bottom of the H6, beneath the LCD display. It carries the analog stereo output signal, as determined by the H6's internal mixer.
The H6 USB port, located on the side panel to the right of the LCD display, provides a digital output of either a stereo mix or the six individual input signals, depending upon the setting of the "Audio Interface" function in the USB menu.
In addition, the H6 provides a headphone output with a dedicated volume control, located on the side panel to the left of the LCD display. Connect your headphones to the stereo 1/8" mini phone jack for private monitoring of the stereo output signal.
The H6 even has a built-in speaker, located on the underside of the unit, for fast monophonic monitoring of the recorded signal without the need to make any connections whatsoever. This speaker is automatically disconnected when connection is made to either the Line Out or Headphone output.
A little X, a little Y,
a whole lotta stereo.
a whole lotta stereo.
The X/Y miking technique is optimal when you want to cover a wide area and still capture sound sources in the center with clarity and definition, making it great for all types of live stereo recording.
The supplied XYH-6 X/Y capsule adds two matched high-quality unidirectional microphones to your H6. This kind of microphone is most sensitive to signal coming from directly in front, and less sensitive to signal coming from behind or from the sides; in technical terms, they are said to utilize a cardioid polar pattern. These mics have the largest diaphragm size (0.579" = 14.6mm) of any ever available on a portable recorder.
As shown in this illustration, the angle of the two mics can easily be changed from 90 degrees to 120 degrees for a wider stereo image (US Patent 8184815).
Playing back stereo X/Y tracks in mono results in a fuller sound than you would get with one microphone, but if mono compatibility is critical (for example, in television production), the Mid-Side (MS) mic technique can be a better choice.
Mid-side mic magic.
Enter MS ("Mid-Side") recording: an incredible technique that allows you to actually adjust the width of the stereo image after it has been recorded, making it especially useful for film, video and television projects. Sound like magic? Read on.
Although the H6's supplied MSH-6 MS capsule appears to be just one microphone, it actually contains two mic elements, positioned directly on top of one another. One of the microphones inside the MSH-6 is unidirectional (that is, it is mostly sensitive to signal coming from directly in front, and less sensitive to signal coming from behind or from the sides) while the other is bi-directional (that is, it is mostly sensitive to signals coming from directly in front and directly behind, and less sensitive to signal coming from the sides).
Inside the H6 MS capsule, the directional ("Mid") mic faces forwards while the bi-directional ("Side") mic is set perpendicular to it, like this:
The basic concept behind MS recording is that the Mid microphone picks up signal coming from the center, while the Side microphone creates ambience and directionality by adding or subtracting information from either side.
The Mid-Side technique works well whenever you need a variable amount of room sound. It can also be used for studio recording, and its convenience and flexibility make it a good option for rehearsal and live concert recording as well.
Riding shotgun.
Our optional SGH-6 shotgun capsule adds a professional-quality hyper-directional (that is, highly directional) microphone to the H6, making it the perfect audio recorder for anyone working in film, video or live theater, or for ENG (electronic news gathering) applications.
Thanks to the three internal mics with digital signal processing ability, the SGH-6 achieves a frequencyindependent super-cardioid polar pattern. Compared to ordinary shotgun microphones using an acoustic tube method, the SGH-6 maintains a highly directional pickup at about half the length.
Shotgun microphones are often used when you cannot position a microphone directly in front of a sound source. For example, if someone is speaking in front of a video camera and you don't want them to hold an interview microphone up to their mouth, the solution is to use an off-screen shotgun mic.
However, shotgun mics are not the audio equivalent of a photographic telephoto lens. Even though they do an above-average job of picking up sounds that originate from a short distance away, they always sound better when they're physically close to the sound source. If the capsule is more than three feet away, the audio will start to sound distant. The farther away it is, the more distant and reverberant the audio will become.
Note: The SGH-6 is a monaural microphone.
Need more inputs?
If you need more inputs, simply plug in the optional EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Combo capsule. It allows you to connect up to six discrete signals from external microphones, instruments, mixers or portable music players, making the H6 the smallest six-track recorder on the planet!
Note: The EXH-6 does not support phantom power.

The news has it that there will be `surprise' in next general elections-but will there be any? Our predictions: BN will allow the shortest possible campaign period-about 8 days. Surprise? There will be plenty of good news announced ahead of the likely date eg peaking quarterly economic performance, buoyant stock market, charging FDI's etc. Surprise? Then there will also be announcement of special bonuses for civil servants, FELDA settlers, special pay-off for Amanah Saham holders etc etc. Surprise?

Just how fast do SPR register voters in Sarawak?
Posted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
This is a secret as SPR do not disclose its registration rate so far. However a rare disclosure of the civil servants which the SPR try to register over unsepcified period shows that they only get 309 new voters/electors from 73 government agencies out of 122 available in Sarawak. That is only about the same as a 1-week registration by 3 participants of the Sarawak Road Show last week! They should reconsider their passive and selective approach! As a correction they should admit that Sarawak, at 33.8%, is the champion in unregistered voters among all Malaysian states-not considering the 2 Federal territories. Assuming that the 309 voters are registered over 1 month period they will take 130 years for them to register all current 470 000 unregistered voters! Performance now?

Politicians united against anti-hopping law?
Posted in Sarawak state election on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Sarawak has its own shares of political frogs-the latest being Gabriel Idit of Ngemah constituency. How to deal with defection which give due consideration to the rights of elected representatives as well as the voters? Anti-hopping law may work for voters-and they deserve more considerations here since they are least consulted in all these dealing and wheeling. Another way is through recall laws-which allows voters to hold referendum on elected representatives which defect or perform badly. May be that will keep all defectors in check when the 1st defector is successfully recalled by the voters! The arguement by Dr M that the Opposition are quiet when the BN rep defect shows that the voters cannot be kept out of the deliberations on what to do with defecting representatives who do it not for voters interests-but for settling personal debts, for instance!
Selangor SPR limit 1000 voters registration forms/month to party?
Posted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Whether you believe it or not voter registrations campaigns are gathering steam-only to find themselves constrained by the unhelpful attitude of the SPR! In Selangor DAP's Tony Pua found that the SPR there only allow them 1000 forms/month-in contrast to their past performance where they can register 2-3000 new voters! Why is the SPR not happy to see more new voters being registered when there are close to 30% eligible citizens not registered and therefore disenfranchised? Similar problem had been reported in Sarawak and elsewhere. So: what is the SPR doing to increase its efficiency to register more voters when it is not able to allow others to help?
