Hacking TIVO-00Fnt 7/23/03 5:38 PM Page 4 Acknowledgments I’d like to thank my wife for putting up with my TiVo obsession and for never car- rying out any of her threats. Four TiVos in a two-person house seems just about right to me. And you thought that the Lisp Machines in the dining room were bad! I’d like to thank embeem (aka Mike Baker) for making this book far better than it would have been without his help. Thanks to embeem and lightn (aka Josha Foust) for substantial contributions to the MFS information in Chapter 9. I’d also like to thank the TiVo hacking community in general, which has freely and selflessly contributed ideas, hacks, and time towards making the TiVo a fun machine. Special thanks to Andrew Tridgell, Dylan, ElectricLegs, embeem, Ingi- neer, JohnnyDeath, Kazymyr, lightn, MuscleNerd, Otto, Tyger, and countless others. Like everyone, I’d like to thank Linus Torvalds and the Open Source com- munity for Linux. I’d also like to thank the folks at TiVo for making a great prod- uct and actively supporting the TiVo hacking community. (What’s up with that hashing stuff, guys?) I would also like to thank the folks at Premier Press for letting me do this book. Special thanks and a big sigh of relief to my agent and book packager, Marta Justak, for not killing me, regardless of how tempting that must have been. Thanks, too, to Karen Whitehouse for the excellent improvements to the text, to Sharon Hilgenberg for her impressive work making it possible to find things in this book, to Kurt Wall for helping and always being a friend, and to Bill Hart- man for making this book look great while working within a time warp.

  • Stronger Communities Hathaway-Sycamores CHILD and FAMILY SERVICES Mission
    2012-2013 Annual Report Stronger families… Stronger communities Hathaway-Sycamores CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES Mission: Cultivating hope and resilience to enrich the well-being of children, adults, families and communities. dedication Renée LaBran, William P. Martone heal. hope. thrive. Accredited by The Joint Commission Western Association of Schools and Colleges Dear Friends: It seems that in recent years we have been regularly confronted in this country with tragedies involving our young people – be it a teen suicide, or a senseless act of violence such as a mass shooting. While each is very different in nature, many of these heartbreaking events highlight the ease with which youth mental illness can slip through the cracks in our communities and schools, leading to tragic results. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, only 20% of children with mental disorders are identified and receive mental health services. Furthermore, 50% of students age 14 and older who are living with mental illness drop out of high school. These statistics contribute to a variety of social issues with which we must grapple. As a provider of mental health services to children and families, Hathaway- Sycamores Child and Family Services is uniquely positioned to share our virtually unrivaled expertise in addressing these statistics. For more than 111 years, we have steadfastly focused on our mission of cultivating hope and resilience to enrich the well-being of children, adults, families, and communities. Today we stand as one of Los Angeles County’s largest, nonprofit, private children’s mental health and welfare agencies, providing a comprehensive continuum of therapeutic and other support services to more than 8,500 children and families annually.

    WALLPAPER Bruce Boone Bruce Boone in Conversation with Evan Kennedy 7 WALLPAPER 13 Bruce Boone in Conversation with Evan Kennedy 551 to Daddy Spencer Walter Remington Bruce Boone in Conversation with Evan Kennedy May 17, 2019; Bruce’s Apartment in San Francisco EK: What would you like readers to know about WALLPAPER? What was your method of composition? BB: In the olden days while we were fighting the Language poets, I decided I would be the ideologue and pit-bull against Ron Silli- man. I called his writing “wallpaper.” I did apologize a few years ago, and he said something a bit nasty in return because I didn’t expand upon it. But since then, I’ve been doing all this other stuff built around mess at all levels. It also goes along with the lin- guistic streamlining or minimalizing of American language that’s going on very noticeably now, especially if you have the ears to compare it with the slowness of linguistic change of the past. The Persians are the great example of this minimalizing from clas- sical antiquity. It started out as just a tiny sliver of Iran, then they went to India, then Afghanistan, then west — Greece, Macedonia, the Middle East. The language before the empire was syntacti- cally complex and inflected, but if you’re the Persians, you’re the masters. If you’re going to say “Tote that barge, lift that bale” to fifty-eight different nationalities, they have to understand you. By the end, they came out with no inflections, no syntax. What happens in this country? There are a lot of impulses toward simplifying.

Prior to joining the Rocky Mountain Conservancy as execu ve director in early 2017, I worked on Centennial partnerships for the Na onal Park Service in the agency’s headquarters in D.C., so I certainly wasn’t lacking in centen- nial fever either, and I watched admiringly as public lands partners na onwide, including the Conser- vancy, helped parks, forests and trails brace for the record-breaking visita on surge, harnessing much of that energy into soaring levels of volunteerism, stewardship and support.
