TroubleShooter Mike Baird: 10.05.08
With service contracts, the devil's in the details
Agreeing to service contracts without understanding the fine print can result in serious problems.
Jerry Benavides, 32, a water meter reader who lives in Gregory, has had Direct TV about five years. On Sept. 12, the digital TV service provider drafted $514.65 from Benavides' First Convenience Bank account. The contract he accepted with Direct TV allowed them to draft funds from his account if his payments were behind. His debt with the company had climbed to more than $200, but most of the funds drafted were for equipment he used at no charge previously.
"I didn't get my account until after I was a Direct TV customer," Benavides said. "And I didn't realize they could just take money out of it."
Benavides previously used his bank debit card to made payments online, and the company's contract defined they could take funds owed from any account information acquired. The contract also had a clause allowing Direct TV to charge him for equipment if his payments fell behind. The draft taken included $200 for a VCR/digital reception box and $50 for a second TV reception box.
Benavides contacted Direct TV the next business day and asked to have the equipment charges reversed because his account was up to date because of the draft. A supervisor agreed and he was told he'd be refunded $277.77 for the equipment and some processing and late fees. As a courtesy, he also received two movie channels free for three months.
Three days later, after no deposit in his account, he called again and was told that a partial payment of $30.56, for two weeks of service in the present billing cycle, was deducted from the refund and re-posted, so he could expect $247.21 electronically deposited within three more business days.
It didn't happen.
The Troubleshooter on Thursday contacted Vaughn Carter, public relations coordinator for the digital TV provider, and forwarded him Benavides' information via FAX.
"I'll direct this concern to our escalations department," Carter said. "There should be a resolution quickly and the customer's money will be electronically deposited by (today)."
Benavides understand the company had the right to take his money but still must wait.
"It really threw my bills out of whack," Benavides said. "I sure won't do it again. It's a life lesson."
Be cautious about terms you agree to, and realize that using a debit card over the Internet may give information to a vendor that they have the right to use later without notification.
Hat's off this week to Catholic Charities for helping Paul Zapata get seizure medicine for his wife, Jean Michelle Zapata. The costly medication -- about $300 monthly -- that previously was provided by Medicare, was not covered during a re-evaluation of her eligibility. After two seizures requiring trips to area emergency rooms and confirmation from Zapata's physician that the medication was essential for her stable health, Catholic Charities paid for a partial prescription at an area pharmacy.
To show his gratitude, Paul Zapata, a magician, offered to provide a holiday magic show for people with disabilities whom Catholic Charities foster.

Pamplona Tourist Attractions
The ancient city of Pamplona, the most important town in the Spanish Pyrenees, lies on a hill above the left bank of the Río Arga, at the western end of the Pyrenees.
The settlement of Pompaelo, which became Pamplona, is said to have been founded by the Roman general Cn. Pompeius Magnus in the winter of 75 B.C. during his campaign against Sertorius. The Goths conquered the town in the fifth Century but were driven out in the eighth Century by the Moors, with whom the inhabitants had concluded a pact. This was the assembly point of the Arab army which was defeated at Tours and Poitiers in 732. In 778 Charlemagne slighted the town's defenses, and thereafter it sank into insignificance for several Centuries. The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela on the Way of St James gave Pamplona a fresh lease of life, and three separate settlements developed - the Navarrería in which the old-established inhabitants lived, the new district of San Cernín, mainly inhabited by French merchants and craftsmen, and another new district, San Nicolás. Antagonisms between these three communities flared up in the 13th-15th centuries, when the kings of Aragon and Castile were at odds with the French kings of Navarre over the possession of Pamplona and sought allies in the different parts of the town, which fought against each other in changing coalitions. These conflicts were finally settled in 1423, but the inhabitants of Pamplona maintained their stout resistance to any aggressor, as the Castilians found out in 1512 and the French in 1808.

Administering exams
How an exam is administered can affect student performance as much as how the exam was written. Below is a list of general principles to consider when designing and administering examinations.
- Give complete instructions as to how to take the examination. Indicate the number of points each section of the examination counts or the amount of time to spend on each section. This helps students to allocate their efforts wisely.
- State specifically what aids (e.g. calculator, notes, books) students are allowed to use in the examination room.
- Use assignments and homework to provide preparation for taking the exams. For example, if the assignments ask all essay questions, it would be inappropriate for the examination to consist of 200 multiple-choice questions.
- Practice taking the completed test yourself. You should count on the students to take about four times the amount of time it takes you to complete the test.
- For final examinations, structure the test to cover the scope of the entire course. The examination should be comprehensive enough to test adequately the student's learning of the course material. Use a variety of different types of questions on the examination (e.g., multiple-choice, essay, etc.) because some topics are covered more effectively with certain types of questions. Group questions of the same type together when possible.
- Tell the students what types of questions will be on the test (i.e., essay, multiple-choice, etc.) prior to the examination. Allow students to see past (retired) examinations so that they have some idea what to expect. For essay exams, share the general grading scheme (rubric) ahead of time so that the students understand how they will be evaluated (if appropriate).
- Provide students with a list of review questions or topics covered on the exam along with an indication of the relative emphasis on each topic.
- Give detailed study suggestions.
- Indicate how much the examination will count toward determining the final grade.

Tax My Joint, I'll Still Smoke It.
Marijuana was a cash crop in the beginning of the 20th century. It was used for oils, lamps, fuels, clothing, paper, medicines, materials, the list goes on! The government has never been too sure on what to do with this miracle plant.
Seen just as that, a miracle plant. It's the most versatile, strongest, naturally grown fiber known to man. Marijuana has never been the direct cause of a single death. Marijuana has known medical capabilities, so many that at this current time fifteen states have legalized it for medical use, many in the works of following suit.
Marijuana grows easily. Having the potential to reduce the destruction of trees and rainforests everywhere getting used for the manufacturing of paper!
We can profit off the marijuana as a business in this country even if it's just off the taxation of the states for the legal sales and marketing of the medical aspect of it. Federal government doesn't have a problem taking this money that is generated in the states where it is legalized, California and Colorado both paying in more than $700,000,000 that's only two states now imagine every state paying in some legal tax that could go towards the benefit of our own country from marijuana instead of illegal Cartels profiting off of our own use. Besides we here in America are growing some of the best Marijuana in the World.
With the money generated from the taxation of Marijuana we could do all types of neat things. We could build shelters for the homeless and care for drug/alcohol addicts, this would also create jobs. That's what this country is missing is the want to fix itself, we want to be such good Samaritan's we are willing to let our own homes go and still help other countries in the world. Don't get me wrong Peace love and the Beatles man but come on. We need help here at home the good old United States of America and it's about time somebody stood up for us, we need help.
Remember the little Americans, the reason everybody started trying to impress everybody else to begin with! Well we need to be impressed again but this time do it domestically. Help out our Veterans of War old and young the same. They are the reason we can do this everyday day after day. Our "freedom" no matter how tattered and torn shall never be stripped from us again, we will rise from the ashes and overcome this outrage labeled Prohibition! May we do so peacefully in the name of Ghandi, MLK Jr, Mandella!!
Legalize Marijuana and maybe this is where we can spend those millions and billions potentially. On ourselves let's spoil the real American's not the ones who have been spoiling themselves off foreign profits and outsourced labor.
I say we reclaim that money as ours. We the people what do we want to do with this money? Huh, now think of it that way what would you do if you could just make it right.........HHHMMM?
Start out by Legalizing Marijuana throughout the States placing on it a sin tax of that like Tobacco and Alcohol. Along with age regulations and safety precautions. This would create an enormous base of use for the plant whatever you can do with it as long as it does not directly or indirectly injure another being so be it.
The point is, why not?? That's what I'm really getting at. With no deaths to claim and medically proven good all natural plant why not be legal? Because we can't patent it to make Billions off of medicinally? Well my friends with that thought I give you a Billion dollar crop, Marijuana. I just ask why fight the inevitable? Why spend anymore resources on such a war that's never going to be won.
Let's take a poll of the people that marijuana affects the lives of our Men and Women of Law Enforcement. The people that have to deal with the dirt bags that are getting rich in your neighborhood selling drugs and I say drugs because not that marijuana is a drug but being illegal, making it classified as an illegal substance, therefore your children have to go to a drug dealers neighborhood, and house to get it, where also is selling cocaine for them to try? Is this really necessary?
The only reason anyone can put Marijuana as a "Gateway" drug is because of the crowd that it comes with as an illegal substance! Making it legal will take not only your son or daughter out of the drug-dealer environment but also the money out of your neighborhood's local drug dealer's pockets and less worry for those that just want to smoke a joint. We don't want to have to go to a "drug-dealer's" house where he's also selling cocaine and let's say heroine not to mention the plethora of prescription drugs that are being sold.
Cartel's are getting rich outside the U.S.A. because of the legality of marijuana inside the U.S.A. We can grow this very easily for medicinal, textile, industrial, even recreational use. Who knows you could be the next Tommy Hempfinger, hemp designer!
Let's take that money back and put it in the hands of Americans that are willing to get their hands dirty doing some work growing it for ourselves and that want to do good for our country, not for it's government or corporations but for the people! The real reason we have a government, sometimes forgotten by those that view us as slaves of their product or label being produced in some third world country by some sweat shop that was outsourced due to safety measures or mandatory pay grades that somebody seen an opportunity for profit not well being!!
Please help get the Marijuana off the bad drug list and on the good drug list!
Live And let grow.
If it can help let it!!
Tax my joint, I'll still smoke it!!

Today on Current State: dissolving Lansing Township; pianist Sergei Kvitko; Great Lakes governors discuss how to keep Asian Carp at bay; and the history of foreign fighters.
A small group of grassroots activists has gotten behind an effort to alter the map in Lansing.
For 15 years, Lansing-based Sergei Kvitko has been playing the organ at Lansing's First Presbyterian Church. He also fills the roles of critically acclaimed pianist, composer, audio engineer and producer.
He's wrapped up a tour that ended with a Carnegie Hall appearance on May 23.
No sooner had conferees wrapped up last week's Mackinac Policy Conference than another gathering formed. For the first time in six years, the Council of Great Lakes Governors met to discuss the economy and the environment.
Last week, the rather startling news broke of a Flint woman who was killed while fighting in Syria. According to Syrian state television, 33-year-old Nicole Mansfield was killed by government forces on May 29 while fighting alongside anti-government rebels in the northwestern city of Idlib.

What you just heard was a .44 caliber
Now you can fill in the blanks
from Pharoahe Monch – Damage Lyrics on Genius
Another great example of using humour to both leverage the pretty grisly nature of the song and to add dramatic impact to the rest of the verse.
It's also a play on the word "blanks"; the blanks (practice rounds) Monch is referring to have been "fill[ed] in", and are therefore legitimate rounds that can legitimately end you.

* FTSEurofirst 300 up 0.4 percent
* German Ifo eyed, due at 0800 GMT
* Norsk Hydro boosted by Q1 beat
By Tricia Wright
LONDON, April 24 (Reuters) - European shares edged higher on Wednesday, adding to the previous session's hefty gains, buoyed by several solid earnings reports and continued expectations of further monetary easing.
The FTSEurofirst 300 had risen 0.4 percent to 1,187.56 by 0735 GMT, having jumped 2.4 percent on Tuesday to post its biggest gain since August 2012 after weak German data raised hopes of a European Central Bank rate cut.
The German Ifo business climate indicator, due out at 0800 GMT, is expected to dip to 106.2 versus 106.7 in the previous month, and a weak reading could further fuel ECB rate cut talk, traders said.
"I think (the market) will be choppy. Obviously we'll have the Ifo - I'll be surprised if it doesn't come in below expectations. If it does you're going to get all this rate cut speculation," Michael Hewson, analyst at CMC Markets, said.
Aluminium maker Norsk Hydro was a solid gainer early on, ahead 2.7 percent after unveiling first-quarter core earnings that beat expectations.
Out of the 14 percent of the STOXX Europe 600 companies that have reported first-quarter results so far, about 51 percent of them have met or beaten analysts' forecasts according to Thomson Reuters StarMine Data.
The earnings season in the United States has got off to a stronger start, with 74 percent of S&P 500 companies meeting or beating expectations so far.
The euro zone's blue chip Euro STOXX 50 firmed 0.5 percent to 2,676.80 following a 3.1 percent advance on Tuesday which saw it break above its 50 and 100-day moving averages, leading analysts to adopt a more positive stance.
"I'm quite bullish about the STOXX50E," Craig Erlam, analyst at Alpari, said.
"I think the next major target will be this year's highs around 2,750, although we won't necessarily hit that this week. Along the way, I expect the index to find resistance around 2,682, 2,692 and 2,717 (previous levels of support and resistance)."

NSA director: Programs disrupted dozens of attacks
Thursday - 6/13/2013, 3:16am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The director of the National Security Agency vigorously defended once-secret surveillance programs as an effective tool in keeping America safe, telling Congress on Wednesday that the information collected disrupted dozens of terrorist attacks without offering details.
In his first congressional testimony since revelations about the top-secret operations, Army Gen. Keith Alexander insisted that the public needs to know more about how the programs operate amid increasing unease about rampant government snooping and fears that Americans' civil liberties are being trampled.
"I do think it's important that we get this right and I want the American people to know that we're trying to be transparent here, protect civil liberties and privacy but also the security of this country," Alexander told a Senate panel.
He described the steps the government takes once it suspects a terrorist organization is about to act -- all within the laws approved by Congress and under stringent oversight from the courts. He said the programs led to "disrupting or contributing to the disruption of terrorist attacks," but he did not give details on the terror plots.
Half a world away, Edward Snowden, the former contractor who fled to Hong Kong and leaked documents about the programs, said he would fight any U.S. attempts to extradite him. American law enforcement officials are building a case against him but have yet to bring charges.
"I am not here to hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality," Snowden said of the surveillance programs in an interview with the South China Morning Post.
In plain-spoken, measured tones, Alexander answered senators' questions in an open session and promised to provide additional information to the Senate Intelligence Committee in closed session on Thursday. The director of national intelligence has declassified information on two thwarted attacks -- one in New York, the other in Chicago -- and Alexander said he was pressing for more disclosures.
But he also warned that revelations about the secret programs have eroded agency capabilities and, as a result, the U.S. and its allies won't be as safe as they were two weeks ago.
"Some of these are still going to be classified and should be, because if we tell the terrorists every way that we're going to track them, they will get through and Americans will die," he said, adding that he would rather be criticized by people who think he's hiding something "than jeopardize the security of this country."
Alexander said he was seriously concerned that Snowden, a former employee with Booz Allen Hamilton, had access to key parts of the NSA network, a development that demands a closer examination of how well the agency oversees contract employees.
Alexander said Snowden was a system administrator who didn't have visibility into the whole NSA network but could access key portions of it.
The director was questioned at length by senators seeking information on exactly how much data the NSA gathers through programs to collect millions of telephone records and keep tabs on Internet activity as well as the legal backing for the activities.
Members of the House and Senate Intelligence panels and key leaders have been briefed on the programs and have expressed their support for the operations as a valid tool in the terrorism fight.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday that the programs are constitutional and "very important to the security of the American people and they help us in a big way to address the terrorist threat that does in fact remain."
But rank-and-file lawmakers who haven't been privy to the details expressed concerns and bewilderment, reflected in the comments of several senators at the hearing and one exchange between Republican Sen. Mike Johanns and Alexander.
Johanns asked the NSA director whether the government could check and see what an individual is searching for through Google, or sending in email.
Alexander said once an individual has been identified, the issue is referred to the FBI.
"The FBI will then look at that and say what more do we need to now look at that individual themselves. So there are issues and things that they would then look at. It's passed to them," Alexander said.
"So the answer to the question is yes," Johanns said.
"Yes, you could. I mean, you can get a court order to do that," Alexander said.
The Nebraska lawmaker said it was imperative for the government to get information about the programs to the American people "because right now we're all getting bombarded with questions that many of us at the rank-and-file level in the Senate cannot answer."

This week's non-league videos of the week features four matches from the Second Round of the FA Trophy. With only thirty-two teams left in the competition at this stage, the scent of a Wembley final is starting to drift into the air, and our four matches tonight feature twenty-five goals.
July, some say, is a little too early for the football season to start. The new season lumbers to life each year in the manner of a bear awakening from hibernation. We don't merely leap to life, ready to jump into another year of those twin false gods of hope and despair, though. We have…
It is the end, then, of another long, hard season, and perhaps now is an appropriate time to be looking at how those clubs that are owned and run by their supporters trusts this season managed to fair. As AFC Wimbledon paraded the trophy that confirmed their accession into the Football League nine years after…

Cloud Phantoms
August 18, 2007
Bright, circular cloud features waltz through the turbid atmosphere of Saturn in this Cassini spacecraft view.
Several jets/bands appear in this image (center and upper right). In contrast to the circular cloud features, these clouds appear thin and linear.
The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 8, 2007 at a distance of approximately 2.9 million kilometers (1.8 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 17 kilometers (10 miles) per pixel.

Welcome to Mothering and congratulations on your pregnancy! If you've been lurking for awhile, you probably know your way around pretty well, but if you haven't already, please do come down to the Case Against Circumcision board - lots of very important information there for parents-to-be.
Glad you found the boards (and decided to de-lurk).

Thanks, I definitely will. I've decided circumcision isn't something I would ever do to our boys, but my husband is convinced he should "look like the other kids in the locker room." As we'd planned to adopt (slightly older children), I didn't think it would be an issue; DH was happy to leave the boys as is. But the possibility of having a baby boy changes things, so I need to study up. Seven more months to convince the husband...

In Premiere Elements 9 Essential Training, author Jeff Sengstack breaks down the editing workflow into bite–sized pieces, covering topics from setting up a project to exporting the final video to any format. The course also covers the basics of editing and advanced features like picture-in-picture overlays and audio and visual effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this movie, I explain how to apply, replace and change the length and position of transitions between clips in the Sceneline and in the Timeline. Transitions go between clips. They move from one scene to the next. You use transitions to let your viewers know you're going from one place, person or time to another. Applying transitions between clips is easy. Let me first show you the transitions and to see them we need to go from the Organize workspace to the Edit workspace and I click on the Transitions view.
Here are the transitions. There are dozens of transitions in a variety of groups. Just click on one to animate it and get a preview. There we go. It's the doors transition, Swing In transition. Just a sense for how the transitions will work, going from the A clip, which is the clip to the left, to the B clip, which is the clip to the right. A to B. That's an old way of editing called AB editing but they are used in film and that concept continues with transitions today.
Let's start with the Sceneline. To apply transitions here, all you do is drop them to these placeholders between the clips or before the first clip or after the last clip. So I will just pick the sort of the default transition that people use all the time and that is the Cross Dissolve transition. I will put it right there between those two clips and it drops there. you can see it there and actually that little icon is the Cross Dissolve icon, so it matches that icon up there. And it throws the Current Time Indicator right before the beginning of the transition here at the end of the first clip or before the next clip, so you can play and see how it looks.
It transitions from one to next. It's a typical Cross Dissolve transition. That's called a two-sided transition from this side to that side. You can also do one-sided transition. So I will take the Dip to Black put, at the beginning. Not only is it a Dip to Black. It's a dip up from black. So that puts the Current Time Indicator right at the beginning of your project and it's black. It would normally be a frame of video there because of the fish for we added that transition. So it's going to transition from black to your clip. There we have it.
It's easy to change transitions after you apply them. So I got the Cross Dissolve between those two. I am going to do something obviously different and put the Doors transition here. Once you do that, it will replace it and notice that the icon changes to show you that's the Doors transition. Throws the current time indicator right there before the beginning of the transition. I will click Play and I'd say Door transition. By the way, we are using transitions here, some of which will not be in the Mac version of Premiere Elements. So if you were at the Mac side and look at this going, "I don't see that transition," it's because the Mac version has fewer than half of the transitions that are in the Windows version.
But I do want to demonstrate these things and the application of the transitions are the same from one version to the other. I just might be picking different ones that are available on your Mac version. So that's basically how you apply transitions and replace them here inside the Sceneline. The Timeline gives you more options as you might expect. Let me go over the Timeline. We can see the transitions here. A little rectangle shows up. Same where those transitions went. Let me expand the view so you have a better sense of how that works. I will press the Plus key a couple of times, and then there actually is a transition rectangle there that appears that says look, that's a transition.
And it behaves just like a clip. You can actually lengthen it or shorten it or move it. This transition right now begins actually before the edit point right there and ends at the edit point. Not that you would know that when you watch it, but that what's happening. So I can say, you know, I would rather have this transition center on the edit point. I can just drag it like that. So it looks like a clip as I drag it. That's one of the advantages working inside the Timeline. I can also make it longer or shorter. If I hover over the end of the transition, I get the Trim tool, just as if I hovered over the clip, it's a big Trim tool.
Up here, there's a little one that goes with the transition. I will trim it to make it longer. It is been much longer now. Now we can do that just manually right there in the Timeline. We have a long transition. If we want to see how cool it is, I can try up the transition where that is much more dramatic and I drag it down here a little ways and find a cool looking one, this metallic gold guy. I am going to replace that current transition at that current length with this one.
I will just drag it down and we will put the new one there and retain the length of the old one. See how that one works. Wow. All kinds of cool transitions in Premiere Elements and it's tempting to overuse them, but I just want to give you an example of some of the fun stuffs that can be done. And you move down a line here a little bit to a couple other clips where there are some exceptions to the rule a little bit. I want you to look here really closely. It's kind of hard to see but this clip and this clip have little triangles that appear in the upper-left hand and upper-right hand corner.
See these guys there? Yhey are going to be grey triangles and those triangles are telling you that you have used every single tail frame in this clip and every head frame in this clip. There are no extra frames for you to use here to overlap to allow the transition to happen normally. Now, in a consumer level video-editing product, when you apply a transition, it automatically shortens your whole project by the length of the transition. It causes those two clips to overlap, creating that transition. In Premiere Elements, it doesn't do that. Thank goodness! You don't want to suddenly shorten your project by the length of a transition every time you add a transition. That's just a horrible thing.
But things can happen when there aren't enough head and tail frames to allow the transition to happen smoothly. So rather than shorten your project to compensate the lack of tail frames in the left one and the head frames in the right one, it creates duplicate frames. It creates freeze frames to compensate for the fact that there aren't enough head or tail frames. So I will show how that works. I will take an obvious transition where you can see that happening. I will do, let's say, the Swing In. Drag it down there to the two of them and now I'll play it slowly. Watch the fish in the left.
It's going to keep on going and then right at the edit point the fish is going to stop swimming. It's going to be a freeze frame, while the turtle comes in and the turtle is swimming now. Now, if you watch really carefully to the left again, you will see the turtle is a freeze frame on the left and it starts swimming here on the right. So what happens is that where there aren't tail frames here, when it gets to the edit point and runs out of frames, it creates freeze frames. The fish stops moving and then before the edit,the turtle is not moving but after the edit, it is moving. But if you play this in real time, hardly anybody would notice that, because the transition sort of distracts you from the fact that they are freeze frames.
But it's a good thing that Premiere Elements create these freeze frames because otherwise you would have to overlap them and that would shorten the length of your project. Let me show you what happens in one issue, where you don't have enough head frames here but you have got plenty of tail frames to compensate. If I drag a transition down, that one will do all the Swing Out instead of Swing In. So I get down there. Now, look at this little line that appears. Instead of appearing in the middle saying you can put the transition in the middle here, it's forcing you to put the transition starting at that edit point and then going over the clip to the right where there aren't enough head frames.
It's taking the tail frames in the one on the left to overlap the head frames in the one on the right, and there will be no freeze frames. It's basically saying, "Look it, I can do this without doing any freeze frames. So I am going to take care of that for you." The turtle will keep on swimming over the fish and the fish will not have freeze frames, which is a great thing. It's basically compensating for the fact that you don't have enough head frames here. But you can override that and I explain the details of how to work with adjusting transitions and fine-tuning transitions in my "Adjusting transitions" movie. But let me show you kind of a preview of that.
I am going to select this transition by clicking on it and I click on Edit Yransition. That opens up this Edit Transition dialog box and normally this little Timeline in the right wouldn't be visible. The default view is like that. You don't see the Timeline. But if you click on this little stopwatch, lo and behold, there is this Timeline. Over here is the clip to the left, the A clip, and over here we have a clip to the right, the B clip, and this little purple thing here is the transition. If I drag through, you can see that the transition begins at the edit point and then start going after the edit point, allowing there would be no freeze frames, so there is the beginning of the fish.
Then the turtle overlaps. This little blue part here is all the overlapping tail frames from the turtle. But if you insist on moving your transition such that it happens right here in the middle, I can take that transition and drag it to the left, notice what happens. You have this zebra striping. The zebra striping is freeze frames. Premiere Elements is saying "Look, I am making freeze frames for you here because you insist on moving the transition over there. So I am going to fix it for you so that it will work but they are freeze frames." And the freeze frames will be the fish, the first frame of the fish.
As it comes in, no one is going to notice that there is a freeze frame but that's what's happening. You look at the fish are not swimming until they get right there, then they start swimming. You can sort of see their fins start moving around there. Let me just play the transition for you. And like you're hardly going to notice that there are freeze frames there. That's one of the coolest things about Premiere Elements. It takes care of that if you insist on moving the transition over to the left. So I think you see that's easy to add transitions between clips, adjust their lengths, and replace or delete transitions.

Fast start has slowed for Jaguars
SAN DIEGO -- In retrospect, perhaps the Jacksonville Jaguars were spoiled in their infancy. Perhaps success came just a little too easily for them.
Expansion teams in the NFL are supposed to take their knocks during their first few seasons, all while constructing a foundation from which to return the favor down the road.
They aren't supposed to advance within one game of the Super Bowl in Year 2, reach the playoffs in four of their first five seasons, or compile the best record in the league by Year Five -- all of which Jacksonville achieved under original coach Tom Coughlin.
As it turns out, the Jaguars merely forestalled their inevitable growing pains. Coming off three consecutive losing seasons that cost Coughlin his job and precipitated the arrival of new coach Jack Del Rio, Jacksonville might have hit rock bottom last week when it lost to the second-year Houston Texans to fall to 0-4.
Of course, they'll discover a new low if they can't beat the 0-4 Chargers at home Sunday in a meeting of two of the NFL's four winless teams.
"When you're winning, it's pretty exciting and it's a lot of fun," said Mark Brunell, Jacksonville's starting quarterback since the fifth game of its inaugural season in 1995. "When you're losing, it's just the opposite. The fans are upset, and you're frustrated. You do everything you can to win a football game, (but) you come up short. So it's been difficult."
Jaguars coaches and players are reluctant to use the dreaded term "rebuilding," but there's no doubt the franchise finds itself in a state of flux.
The 40-year-old Del Rio, a former pro linebacker and the league's second-youngest coach behind Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden, came aboard from Carolina in January. Immediately, he provided a refreshing contrast to the discipline style of the old-school Coughlin.
In April, Jacksonville drafted Marshall star Byron Leftwich with the seventh overall pick, giving the team its quarterback of the future.
As it turns out, the future might have become the present. Leftwich started his first regular-season game at Houston on Sunday while Brunell sat because of a deep gash to his throwing elbow. Del Rio was noncommittal Wednesday about who would start against the Chargers, but ESPN.com reported that Leftwich will probably stay in the lineup even though Brunell has recovered from his injury.
"I think it's a luxury to have a draft pick like Byron and still have a veteran who's a very good football player," Del Rio said.
Added Brunell: "We work well together. He's a great kid, he's got a good attitude, I enjoy his company. So there hasn't been a strain at all. … We're all trying to do the same thing, win football games."
In another era, the Jaguars won games by the bushel. After going the expected 4-12 in their debut year, they catapulted into the upper echelon of the NFL in 1996, finishing second in the AFC Central with a 9-7 record. Their star rose even further with two playoff upsets in cold, hostile environments (Buffalo and Denver) that landed them in the conference championship game, where New England ended the impossible dream.

Re: Chicago to South Manitou Island
Picking up on the black fly comments.... some "colour commentary". While this happened between Killarney and Bustard Islands on Georgian Bay, it applies here, equally.
Beautiful day, but not much wind, so I motorsail, in shorts, barefoot in boat shoes. Keep rubbing one leg/ankle over the other as the flies attack. When anchored at the Bustards I have to wash the cockpit floor where I stood while steering: it was entirely pink/red with (my) blood as I stood and crushed the flies that had been biting me.
As to your question about things that bother us when watching movies etc...
It is often too obvious when a scene is shot on a sailboat that is supposed to be under sail that, in quite a few cases, the director skips the sailing bit... The boat is virtually stationary, sometimes even with gently flapping sails, when the true professional would have the boat properly underway.
Anyway, since you say you know little about sailing, I would recommend that your editor (1) be familiar with sailing language/jargon etc... or (2) you submit your manuscript to a sailor with some writing skill to "vet" the accuracy of your language and the plausibility of your scenario(s).
Again, best of luck.
