Nonlinear is a buzzword for every broadcaster and facility house
worldwide. Systems range from the humble to the exotic, and despite
the growing acceptance of the technology, many users, both new and
experienced, find the complexity of the operation and the time
spent loading the material and rendering effects difficult to
manage at first. Non-linear editing also comes with its own
specialist language, requiring each editor to be conversant with a
new range of skills from day one. As desktop systems improve the
role of the traditional editor is constantly evolving and
expanding. This is an operational manual for professional trainees
and students in the post-production industry. It will also serve as
a useful reference tool for producers and directors. Written in a
concise and clear manner, the book serves as a practical guide to
the efficient management and operation of non-linear editing
systems. It describes the technology involved, the essential
techniques to be mastered including on-line and off-line editing,
project management, rendering effects, working with graphics and
audio, and adding third party applications. Designed for quick and
easy reference, this is a practical user guide to non-linear
editing that comes complete with an extensive jargon buster that
will get you fully conversant with the technology in a short space
of time. Patrick Morris is a Trainer in Post-Production for the

Part semi-autobiographical recollections of a childhood spent in
rural Vermont, and part fictional nonsense, Rich With Pizza is a
collection of short stories and humor pieces that follow a boy's
imagination from the small town of West Brookfield, VT to Brooklyn,
NY
Who are we? What are we? What is the limit of intellect? Questions
such as these have been pondered for millenia. We seem to be bent
on developing machines that emulate the human mind, but strangely
we do not place as much emphasis on enhancing our own minds. At the
end of human fetal development our minds cease to grow. Why? And
what might happen if somehow this process could be restarted, if
our minds could continue to develop. What would be become then?
Perhaps it is a blessing that no human to date has ever found out
what might happen. After all, we are flawed, emotionally unstable,
prone to fits of cruelty and barbarism. And yet we are kind and
loving, nurturing beings. Whatever the path one might imagine to
take on this speculative journey, nature has a way of shaking
things up from time to time. So what might happen if a person were
to experience such intellectual growth as to turn thought into
reality? Heaven or Hell awaits us in the end as we move inevitably
closer and closer to what may be our final reality. For now, the
only answer we can offer is that conjured up by our imagination.
Dinosaurs have arguably occupied a key slot in the imagination of
millions of people since the dawn of modern archaeology. Museums,
television shows, documentaries, fantasy art, fiction and science
fiction genre have all been utilized to express this intense desire
to see, to hear, to be frightened by, and to be fascinated by these
"terrible lizards." However, dinosaurs are almost universally
depicted as nearly mindless, lumbering gargantuans. Consider this:
The human race has existed for perhaps 5 to 10 millions years in
various final evolutionary stages of sentient emergence from the
animal state. Compare this to the age of reptiles which is
considered to span most of the Mesozoic era, an epoch that lasted
at least 180 million years, more than ten times as long as the
reign of modern man. In the long, long history of dinosaurs, would
it not have been possible for just one species to have ascended
into a sentient state, following...no, preceding the evolutionary
path of the human race? A path that ended the reign of the dinosaur
in a cataclysmic celestial event that extinguished these amazing
animals. Or did it?
For thousands of years people from many countries have described
strange visitations from small creatures with large, dark eyes.
Reports from many people who claim to have been abducted by these
"grays" as they are called seem to indicate that these creatures
are searching for something from us. Further, our species, our
world appears to be involved in some kind of meta event which seems
to be just out of reach of our perception. Real, and yet wholly
surreal. If all these reports have any merit, then it begs the
question what do these creatures want with us? Our tiny,
insignificant world is located in the galactic boondocks of the
milky way. What possible value would these creatures find in our
obscure planet? What if these creatures are not aliens at all?
