With HD TV, Surround Sound, digital satellite, and more, the options for home theater systems are ever expanding, and what used to be a simple matter of plugging in a TV and connecting a few cables has become a far more complex undertaking. Here to untangle the wires and make sense of the choices confronting you today as you set up your home theater is a guide from the folks who do it best: TechTV! In true TechTV fashion, author Mike Wood distills the process into the need-to-know essentials that will have you viewing flicks before the day is out. By focusing on three primary steps--determining sources (DVD players, satellite receivers, VCRs, and music servers), figuring out how to control those sources (receiver, preamp, and so on), and then choosing how and where to display them--Mike delivers the information in easily digestible chunks that you an choose to build on (or not!). Buying tips, cool factoids, and sound setup advice round out the offering!

Risk runs through the fabric of any project. It is so intimately bound up in forecasting and decision making that it cannot be isolated or handled separately from other project management activities. Success can only be achieved if risk management is integrated closely with project management. Over the past decade, developments in risk management methods and standards have addressed the need to manage risk in a project in an integrated manner. This is a more natural way of working than past practices have been. It has beneficial effects on the practice of risk management and the way it is implemented in projects. This new edition of Project Risk Management Guidelines has been fully updated to include the new international standards that embody this principle, ISO 31000 Risk management and IEC 62198 Managing risk in projects. The book explains the standards and how they can be applied. It provides a clear introduction to basic project risk management, introduces the reader to specialized areas of projects and procurement, and shows how quantitative risk analysis methods can be used in large projects. Chapter by chapter, the authors present simple, practical steps and illustrate them with examples drawn from their extensive experience from around the world, in many different industry sectors and cultures and at all stages of projects from conception through development and into execution. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are covered. Traditional structures and processes are discussed as well as developments in the way projects are conducted, such as outsourcing arrangements and risk-sharing structures like public–private partnerships. Improved outcomes can be achieved when sound risk management is used to capture opportunities and reduce threats. Its unique focus and wealth of checklists, tables and other resources make this book an essential and enduring tool for anyone involved with project work.

Tupac Shakur had THREE “Number One” albums come out after his death. John Kennedy Toole won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for a book published eleven YEARS after he died. And Vincent Van Gogh didn’t live to see a single cent of the MILLIONS his art eventually commanded (but at least he never had to hear that horrible song Don Mclean sang about him!) Granted, even dead, all of the above still have more talent than Mike Wood, but that’s not stopping him from publishing his posthumous stuff now, while he’s still alive to reap the rewards. Inside you will find short stories ranging from childhood antics to teenage high-jinks all the way to adult tragedy. Not to mention the saga of a very angry dwarf! So if you enjoy serious fiction…this is probably not the book for you (so put it down and let someone else buy it! Someone who doesn’t need to sport a Vonnegut or Cheever just to feel good about themselves.) But if you like to laugh, and cry, and sometimes cringe at the written word, chances are you’ll get a rise out of “Mourning Wood”
