![]() ![]() If I have a CD that AMG identifies the artist as THE GRATEFUL DEAD in all caps and I want it to be The Grateful Dead so that it matches my other albums, easy enough. You can highlight multiple tracks to correct metadata. Wow, so what if AMG has the data wrong? Simply right click on a track in Windows Media Player, go to Advanced Tag Editor and from there correct whatever information is incorrect. 90% of the time all of the track information is there for your ripping pleasure. Most of the ones that are not recognized are fairly obscure CDs, CD Singles, Promos, Bootlegs, etc. Why is this important? Simply pop your CD into your burner, click on the Rip tab, and all of your track information is imported from AMG. I never would have pursued this task without this partnership. Over the course of the past few years Ive converted my entire extremely extensive CD library to mp3. Microsoft did a really good thing partnering up with All Music Guide (AMG). My bias being duly noted and disclosed, what follows is my take.ġ. Ive been using the surprisingly stable Windows Media Player 10 Technical Beta for the past few months but thought Id write a review on the software now that, as of 6:00 a.m. “WMP 10 at least equalsand in our estimation surpassesthe current leader in the field, Music Match Jukebox 9.” Earlier today PC Magazine awarded the software a 4.5 out of 5 rating and a coveted Editor’s Choice Award. If Microsoft didnt give this software away Id gladly pay money for it. ![]() Even more spectacular is that it is free.

When you use an ellipsis, there’s no need to say that someone’s voice trailed off. “So much of our lives together is what you wanted. The space after the ellipsis will keep you from having a huge hunk of white space at the end of a line, like this: You want to “attach” the ellipsis to the word preceding it so that it remains on the same line and then space after the ellipsis if there’s another word following-no space if punctuation.ĭoing it this way ensures that you won’t have lines that display on the Kindle like this: ![]() The best fix I’ve found is to let Word do its single-character ellipsis (type three dots in a row to get this (no spaces)–you’ll know it took because the kerning will shift a bit and if you use the arrow cursor keys, one tap of the key will go to the beginning or end of the entire ellipsis. Now that we lay out books digitally, we actually have an ellipsis character. But that spacing tends to play havoc with eBooks. This is also a bit of a holdover from the days when type was set manually. ) with whatever punctuation you’d normally have (see above). Traditionally an ellipses is formed by typing space, period, space, period, space, period, space (. So, a bit more on the technical aspect of an ellipsis: When an ellipsis is at the end of dialog that is closed with a speech tag, it takes a comma. “I’m not sure what you want of me…,” she said. This is a complete sentence, so add the period at the end of the ellipsis, in this case. This is not a complete sentence, therefore no period is needed. When the ellipsis shows a bit of a pause between two words, as if the character is thinking about their word choice, I always put a space after the ellipsis, but not before (more on that below). A lot of authors and publishers also use a hyphen for a stutter (“Wh-what do you want?”), which is totally fine. Because it’s the same word, no space in the ellipsis. Here are a couple of examples of ellipses with notes: ![]() The hyphen is often used to indicate stuttering, though that is a deviation from The Chicago Manual of Style. They are used to indicate text (usually dialog) that is trailing off and also for missing dialog such as in an overheard conversation (say a phone conversation where the protagonist only hears one side).

The third and final cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, is later added to the breadcrumb mixture. The recipe calls for three cups of white sharp cheddar cheese and one cup of Gruyere in the macaroni and cheese mixture. However, the cookbook does recommend getting the highest quality cheese you have access to.Įven though it took a little extra effort to hand-grate the cheese, I felt it added to the final result - the different types of cheese combined perfectly together. You can also buy your cheese pre-shredded to save yourself a little extra time. It took quite a bit of work to grate the cheese by hand, and it got a tad messy on the counter. The recipe recommended softening the onion in a tablespoon of butter, rather than oil.Īfter I shredded the cheese by hand, I added the ingredients to the slow cooker along with the onions. I sautéed the onion in a nonstick pan until it softened. You can also add more or less depending on how strong you want the onion flavor to be. I've never used onion in mac and cheese before but found it added a ton of flavor to the dish. I started by dicing half of a white onion. You can find the full recipe in "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker." ![]() From the recipe list, I had a suspicion this was going to be a decadent dish.
