I’ve run it every year since in one form or another. The year after I participated in NaNoWriMo, I gave birth to the Write Nonfiction in November (WNFIN) Challenge, aka National Nonfiction Writing Month (NaNonFiWriMo). In fact, starting and not finishing your manuscript during such an event ultimately might stop you from writing your book.īefore I take this subject further, let me provide a little more backstory. Since I’m not that different from you, I am confident you can do the same-even without a book-in-a-month challenge or contest to motivate you. I know I can write a book quickly any time I choose to do so. Those identities fueled everything from my mindset to my habits making it much easier to write a book. How did I accomplish this feat? I identified as a writer and author. Yet, I completed these manuscripts 30 to 90 days each time. In the nine years that followed, I wrote three traditionally published nonfiction books and four self-published ebooks…all without a 30-day writing contest to motivate me. Probably a larger number of participants “lost.” In other words, according to NaNoWriMo rules, I “won”-along with many other writers. I participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in 2005 and completed a 33,00-word novel in a month. Powering through is not the answer, but choosing to be a writer and author is. Plus, the once-per-year push to write consistently and productively for 30 days isn’t enough to help a you develop a writing habit or the confidence to publish your work. On the other hand, failing at this endeavor can have a long-lasting negative effect. The positive impact of succeeding can be great. For many, this is a once-per-year chance to be a productive writer and make time to finish a manuscript. For writers, November is all about participating in events that challenge them to write a book in a month.

If those cases had been decided in the twenty-first century, they might have been called Massachusetts v. Sawyer, have not typically had state plaintiffs. The landmark decisions of our history, cases like Dred Scott v. Measured by the yardstick of the first two centuries of constitutional cases, it is not typical for so many of our major public law cases to have names like United States v. The last decade and a half is not normal. States - often large coalitions of states, all represented by attorneys general from the opposite political party of the President - now file suits challenging any important action taken by the executive branch. In just the last decade and a half, states have come to dominate the public law scene. 9 In that case, a narrow majority of the Court read state standing broadly, saying states were to be given “special solicitude in our standing analysis.” 10 The consequences have been predictable. And there is a doctrinal side, especially the Supreme Court’s decision in Massachusetts v. 8 There is an institutional side to the story, including a dramatic infusion of resources and expertise into the offices of state solicitors general. All of these developments from the twentieth century put greater pressure on standing doctrine, as courts increasingly came to use it as a filter for the cases to be decided.īut one more source is especially important for the centrality of standing in the twenty-first century: the role of states as litigants against the federal government. Still other reasons standing has become more central are doctrinal developments of the 1970s, not all of which have survived on their own: easy implication of statutory causes of action, the shift to enforcing public law rights primarily through injunctions rather than damages, and the growth of structural injunctions. Yet another is the shift beginning in the 1970s toward expansive preenforcement review of agency rules. 7 Another is a gradual shift over the twentieth century: from having public law questions answered defensively, when the law was being enforced against someone to having such questions answered offensively, via suits for injunctions and declaratory judgments. One is procedural fusion, with the consequent loss of law and equity’s distinctive formal structures. The centrality of standing doctrine in contemporary U.S. 5 And standing may have been the reason for the Court’s stay of a lower court decision about the legality of the abortion drug mifepristone. 4 Standing has featured heavily in journalistic coverage of the decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Texas 3 and the race-discrimination challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act in Haaland v. Brown, 2 as well as the challenge to the Administration’s immigration priorities in United States v. Nebraska 1 and Department of Education v. In the last Term at the United States Supreme Court, standing was the critical question in several major cases: the two challenges to the Biden Administration’s first student loan forgiveness plan, Biden v. This allows it to easily create a mask that preserves the details you want and even removes unwanted ambient color contamination caused by reflections and transparency. The award-winning photoshop plug-in mask pro 4.1 works differently by using color instead of edges. It is difficult to use a tool that relies on edge detection to mask something like hair or other thin or transparent subjects. This is often because hair is thin, semi-transparent in some parts and rarely has a sharp edge. Masking images that contain hair can be tricky and often frustrating. Each tool includes a palette where you can quickly and easily adjust the tool settings. Included are tools such as the magic brush which will remove colors while maintaining transparency as well as touch up tools like the chisel which will help you get the edges of your image perfect without any edge halos at all. That's why mask pro 4.1 provides a complete collection of tools that help you take on the toughest masking project. In any given image, you may need more than one tool to get the job done.

I picked up a 20 input Auditronics/Spectrasonics analog console last year (Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic" was recorded on one, as well as most of the later Stax Stuff and ZZ Top's first few albums.) This console is to be modified into a 16x2 summing mixer with direct outs on all the input modules to PT, the DA7 will serve as a monitor mixer for the PT system via the ADAT I/Os while tracking and also to bring extra outputs back in while mixing. The story behind this Auditronics/Spectrasonics console is really cool. I originally owned this console in the late 70's, very early 80's but when I went from 16 to 24 track I had to get a new board with more inputs (Soundworkshop Series 30 with 28 I/O). Last year on my birthday I chimed in on a post at Gearslutz discussing Auditronics consoles. I mentioned this board and it's original owner in Dallas. One guy replied that it was the first "Real" console he had ever worked with. We replied back & forth talking about the console and as I had lost track of this board many years before, I stated that I wish I could get it back as it would be great with a PT system for front-end and summing. About 4 days later I got a call from a buddy in Nashville (he had no knowledge of my coversation on Gearslutz) that he had come across the console, he told me that it was going to the dump in a week and that if I wanted it I could have it for "Free", just pick it up. It cost me about $250 for gas & dinner for the 4-5 friends that helped me take it down and load it up. All the modules and such in the console are in excellent condition, but sadly the guy who had it ripped out the wiring harnesses and made it pretty much useless as it is. I have access to the original design engineer on the console as my Dad had worked for Auditronics and he has agreed to help me rebuild the console. I don't think I will need anything much more than a new frame to accomodate the smaller size and some wire to get it all running. Another buddy who is a EE/audio designer has offered to build a new summing buss/amps based on API opamps. This will be a great mixer when finished. Let me see if I can answer your questions thoroughly enough.įirst of all, yes this is the correct interface unit (the saffire pro 40)Īs of right now, I'm using the saffire pro 40 linked to a saffire octopre mkII via Adat, (the saffire acting as the master wordclock), running into my hp pc (160 gb hard drive with 4gb ram running windows 7) via FireWire, and have never had a problem getting audio out of either device into reaper.

She insisted it would look the same and when it didn't, she then put a different color dip powder on top of the previous one. The woman has no knowledge of her products and the colors. I agreed because of the benefits I've heard of dip and I wanted my toes and hands to match. She tried to tell me that the dip color nail would match my toes, but would be more expensive.
