The best thing to do, learn how to use Word Styles. http://www.fgcu.edu/SUPPORT/office2000/word/styles.html

This should help you accomplish many formatting tasks much more efficiently.

That's a very impressive recording, Daniel. Sounds really good. The Zoom does seem like a good investment. If I understand correctly, a Zoom can also act as a decent USB microphone for recording directly to your PC. Thanks! It's a respectable result considering the environment. You can use the H2 a...

If you really want to record to your PC for low cost, get something like a Samson Go Mic Compact USB Microphone or a Blue Snowflake. If you can spend more money, get a larger diaphragm USB powered condenser mic like the MXL USB.006. This because by the time it gets to your PC, it's a digital signal ...

That's a bit different than the Tully I sold a while ago. http://www.beancurdturtle.com/Whistle/DSCF1557_m.jpg As I recall, the voice is quite focused, a bit like a narrow bore Aluminum Burke D. But brighter. Also there was a soft chiff and breathiness that gave it a nice character. If Erik aimed fo...

No time giftcards are the only ones I accept.

Does it take them long to arrive in the post?

On Nov28th I recorded a show by John Troy and Bob Hawkins - two very good local blues rock musicians. I used a little HD video cam, a RØDE NT4 stereo condenser mic, and a Zoom H2 digital recorder. It's not perfect quality, but it's good enough to enjoy, and see how really talented these two are. You...

My grandmother used to save bacon grease to fry chicken in. Battered and fried in a huge cast iron skillet. It was wonderful!

Woo hoo!

I missed this wonderful bit of information.

Wishing you continued improving health for this next year.

The more important question is - what draws this primate (me) into reading a thread like this?

Humans have a difficult time with time, because humans can only travel in time in one direction, at one speed. Perceived time and space are really concrete to most people. You have to break your head out of it's training to get the feel for something different. Hawking and such do it through scienc...

She seems to play all of her reels in the tempo of 108 to 124 beats (half note) per minute with a couple a little slower. Is this tempo pretty standard for reels? And MB doesn't play particularly fast compared to some. :-) Mary's playing is in a comfortable range for me. For listening, not playing....

Not if it's been anodized on the inside.

Well, there are not a lot experienced whistle players that are of fans (that I know) of low backpressure. It limits expression. It gives a breathy voice instead of the proper bite of good chiff. And Chieftains and Kerry's - at least any that I've played - are like blowing down the Brooklyn Tunnel co...

He looks like a great guy. What does he do? He works for a property management company doing residential property maintenance, and goes to school part time. He wants to be an EMT - though I've recommended talking to a nurse about a nursing career. From 'cute as a button' to 'handsome' ... and I'm b...
