(DE) Carpe Diem Records News November 2011: "Ensemble Syntagma" and "The Carpe Diem Christmas Special"
Ensemble Syntagma: "Rosa e Orticha"
We are happy to present you the new Carpe Diem CD "Rosa e Orticha" by the French ensemble SYNTAGMA. It is available in stores since November 14th, 2011.
The new CD of Alexandre Danilevski and his Ensemble Syntagma presents some of the most elaborate works of the mediaeval musica composita by Bardolino da Padova and his contemporaries. …
(US) Harmonia Early Music: "Harmonia Time Capsule: 1562"
"In Venice, one of the 16th century's most influential composers died. Adrian Willaert served as organist, choirmaster, and composer at St. Mark's basilica for thirty-five years, and cultivated a style of writing for cori spezzati, or "separated choirs." The sonic effects of Willaert's innovative compositions were emulated by succeeding musicians at St. Mark's, such as Cipriano de Rore and Andrea Gabrieli.
(US) Harmonia Mundi: Lumières - Music Of The Enlightenment [30-CD Set]
Release Date: 01 oct 2011
Label: Harmonia Mundi Catalog
"The unprecedented expansion of music in the age of enlightenment
The eighteenth century is probably the most extraordinary period of transformation Europe has known since antiquity. Political upheavals kept pace with the innumerable inventions and discoveries of the age; every sector of the arts and of intellectual and material life was turned upside down. Between the end of the reign of Louis XIV and the revolution of 1789, music in its turn underwent a radical mutation that struck at the very heart of a well-established musical language. In this domain too, we are all children of the Age of Enlightenment: our conception of music and the way we 'consume' it still follows in many respects the agenda set by the eighteenth century. And it is not entirely by chance that harmonia mundi has chosen to offer you in 2011 a survey of this musical revolution which, without claiming to be exhaustive, will enable you to grasp the principal outlines of musical creation between the twilight of the Baroque and the dawn of Romanticism."

Global Builders - El Salvador
We are currently working in two different communities. One of those communities is located in San Luis Talpa where the Fuller Center works with Homes from the Heart to help families move out of makeshift shacks made of tires, tin, and garbage bags and into solid, decent homes in which parents can be proud to raise their children.
The other project, which is where we are currently sending teams, is located in the hills of western El Salvador (Ahuachapan). We have partnered with People Helping People on a 14 house project near Juayua for a group of hard working families who live and work on a coffee farm. Coffee production has been suffering severely from blight in all of El Salvador, with more than 70% of coffee production lost due to the plague. Therefore, this program has come at a crucial time.
Learn the Basics - Area Info
El Salvador, known as the "Tom Thumb" of the Americas, is the smallest Central American country and the only one without a coastline on the Caribbean Sea. With a popluation of 6,090,646 ( est.), it is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with some 700,000 Salvadorans in need of decent, adequate housing. An estimated 30.7 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, while over 40 percent of the rural population lives in homes with dirt floors and impermanent wall materials.
In late 2006, the government and the Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a five-year, $461 million compact to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty in the country's northern region through investments in education, public services, enterprise development, and transportation infrastucture. However, many Salvadoran families continue to struggle to survive while living in dilapidated housing subject to natural disasters such as flooding, mudslides and earthquakes.

More Info on what will a trip to El Salvador be like?
Type of building
In general you will help us in the construction of new homes, although we sometimes have opportunities for Greater Blessings projects where we perform small repairs or improvements on existing homes. We also respond to emergency and disaster needs when we are able so please remain open to a variety of possibilities.
Much of the volunteer work for these projects includes, but is not limited to, making and pouring lots of concrete, digging holes, and moving construction materials.
While it is always helpful to have Spanish speakers on your team, it is not a necessity. Spanish skills on the worksite will always be beneficial but are never required because most of your instructions will come from English speaking staff. In other cases where Spanish speaking skills are necessary, translation services will almost always be available.
Assuming your team has at least eight or so people, we will get you around in vans that seat about 15. This will include travel between the airport, your housing, the work site, and any tourism activities.
Depending on where your group stays, you will either have a short walk or drive to the worksite everyday.
The exact lodging location depends on the group size. Teams will either stay at a farm guesthouse where they will be within walking distance of the worksite. This is a very remote but peaceful place to relax after a day spent digging, laying block and/or bending rebar.
The other lodging option is a hotel located in the town of Juayua. The rooms are double and triple occupancy and have their own private bathrooms. The hotel is just a short drive to the coffee farm where you will be working.
Rest & Relaxation
Most teams stay in El Salvador for about 7 days, giving them 1-2 non-working days. El Salvador has many fun tourism opportunities and/or relaxing activities in which your group can participate. Groups in the past have visited a volcano, went zip lining, and visited the national artesan's market. Try to have some ideas of what your team may enjoy as some things require advance time to setup. Other things like volcanoes and parks can be more spontaneous and decided upon when your team arrives.
Each trip participant will receive a guidebook that will list all the R&R options.
Community outreach
While our work site is an active construction zone, it is also an active neighborhood with many families kids. Most of the time there will be a future home owner working on sweat equity hours working alongside your team.
While some opportunities for interaction are provided (and kids are sure to follow you around), most interaction will require your initiative. Your group can plan activities with the community members or the kids or simply initiate casual conversations around the area. Even if you can't speak the language, acknowledging community members with a smile or "Hola!" can go a long way in developing a relationship or making people feel special.
Opportunities with other community organizations (local schools, churches, orphanages, etc.) can sometimes be arranged in advance if your group is interested.
Trip Preparation
Are you unsure of how to prepare for such an experience or just looking for some tips on how to be better prepared? If so, we suggest you take a look at our Trip Preparation page where you will find a lot of helpful information and links - Preparing For Your Trip!
What happens after the trip?

I resisted buying MLB.com At Bat at the beginning of this baseball season because I always figured going to MLB.com on my iPhone gave me a good enough iPhone formatted look at scoring and articles regarding my favorite team (Go Brewers!) but one day I finally gave in and downloaded it and I have been very impressed. It is easily one of my favorite Apps. I love being able to stream the live radio feed for any game since it effectively gives my iPhone an AM tuner when I am out mowing the lawn or out of typical broadcast range. Also the video highlights and game summaries are excellent. Pitch-by-pitch interface rivals any gamecast on a computer. My only two gripes are the lag time to loading up (maybe due to the fact I have the 2G but also another point in favor of allowing variable background Apps) and that they do not have an in-App option to read MLB.com articles regarding your favorite teams without launching Safari. Overall highly recommended for baseball fans and well worth the price...heck it is a much better value than the internet version in my opinion.
Apple Design Award Winning iPhone Apps: Tweetie, Topple, MLB at Bat, Wooden Labyrinth, Accuterra

Students Take Stand On 'R' Word
Campaign, started by Special Olympics, asks students to sign pledge
Posted: December 8, 2012 at 4:52 a.m.
Some students at Fayetteville High School want to stop the use of the word "retarded" in casual conversation.
At A Glance
Awareness Campaign
The Spread the Word to End the Word campaign raises awareness about using the word "retarded" to refer to an action as less than ideal. The casual usage can make someone with an intellectual disability feel less than human, even if not meant to be offensive. Read more about this campaign, started by Special Olympics athletes, at r-word.org.

Try to imagine it: a Sunday afternoon in late September, and not one so far away that it feels like a fantasy. Another sweltering Baltimore summer has dissipated, and in the cool autumn breeze you can smell fresh grass and meat on the grill.
You're full of nervous energy because, as is the case today back in real life, it's the day of the Ravens home opener at M&T Bank Stadium. Maybe you're even heading to the stadium, ready to tailgate. But something is distracting you. It's stirring up old feelings, emotions so dormant you almost forgot you once had them.

Every wedding is different. Some are similar. But in my world the Bride & Groom pretty much always break a few rules and add enough personal touches and lashes of their own personality to ensure that they are always entirely different from week to week.
That's why I love my job…and will never tire of it, as every wedding is my 'first'…..
Natalie and Richards Big day was my 'first' "Jewish, Mad Hatters Tea Party" wedding. It was a colourful, crazy, love and fun filled day in a place called Wonderland.

By Dave Link, Knoxville News Sentinel
It's a frigid winter night, and things are heating up inside Civic Coliseum.
There is a sellout crowd to watch the Knoxville Ice Bears — and maybe the Wiener Dog Races, or the Miss Ice Bears contest — along with the Southern Professional Hockey League action.
The Ice Bears, in their 10th anniversary as the longest-tenured hockey team in Knoxville, are leading the SPHL in attendance this season with an average of 3,610 fans per game.
They have had three sellouts. It helps attendance that the Ice Bears, who play host to Columbus tonight, are title contenders who are currently second in the SPHL standings and boasting a 19-5-2 home record.
They are packing the old wooden seats in Civic Coliseum, which is 50 years old. That makes the Coliseum eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
As is the case with many buildings 50 years old, the Coliseum has seen better days. Like when the Rolling Stones played there in 1972. It is basically the same building and infrastructure from when it was built in 1961.
"It's the oldest building in the league, by far, but it has its advantages, and some disadvantages that we're not able to use or have, as some of the other venues do," said Ice Bears President/General Manager Mike Murray, who also is among the team's ownership group.

A state commission reviewing capital punishment recommended last night an end to executions in Maryland, prompting hope among death penalty opponents that the General Assembly could soon abolish the 30-year practice.
The Maryland Commission on Capital Punishment voted 13-7 to make the recommendation. It found that the death penalty carries the "real possibility" of executing innocent people and may be biased against blacks.

Video Updated at 10:34 p.m.
OKLAHOMA – When you buy something from a pawn shop, you probably think you are getting a pretty good deal, but one Oklahoma man is rethinking that after he discovered a trailer he recently purchased was actually stolen property.
When Seth Byerley got back to work after Christmas break, he noticed something was missing."We noticed the trailer was not there, and that the locks had been all drilled out and were all just laying in the parking lot," he said.
Byerley just bought it and had thousands of dollars worth of tools inside. He called the police and filed a report.
"All of our different rods that we use to do the dent-less paint repair," he said. "Losing that trailer really crippled our business for a couple of weeks. We didn't have anything to even do our jobs with."
"Inside we had a 40 foot gorilla that we'll blow up and do an advertisement," he said. "Just an instant eye catcher."
And that is just what one of those signs did, but it did not catch the eye of a potential customer, it raised the eye brow of a man who unknowingly bought Byerley's stolen trailer from a pawn shop in Newcastle.
He found one of the signs still inside the trailer and the number on it.
"I had that feeling that it belonged to somebody," Charley Gravitt said. "So I called him, and he was just ecstatic."
Gravitt had purchased Byerley's trailer from Pawn Sharks for nearly three thousand dollars and was just now learning it had been stolen from Byerley's Oklahoma City Repair Shop.
After contacting the pawn shop and arguing over the phone with them about the stolen property, Gravitt and Byerley met police and the pawn shop refunded Gravitt most of his three thousand dollars.
Gravitt's happy he got his money, but he will not be visiting again.
"I won't be buying anything from a pawn shop," he said.
As for Byerley and whoever stole the trailer in the first place, Byerley wants police to get to the bottom of it.
"I would like it if they would at least arrest the guy," he said.
In order for Gravitt to get his money, he and Byerley agreed to give the pawn shop 400 dollars which is half of what they paid for it.
NewsChannel4 talked with the pawn shop, and they claim they ran a check on the trailer, and it did not come back stolen.

We packed up Mary the car again and headed out on the M3 to Romsey home of the so-called King Johns House (a medieval building with a very tenuous connection to grandad King John). Then through Winchester and Poole, before ending up at Higher Bockhamption and the home of the writer Thomas Hardy . It was a beautiful thatched cottage surrounded by a gorgeous traditional English garden reached by walking through a wood of purple rhododendrons. Not far from there was the lovely village of Cerne Abbas, known for the anatomically correct Cerne Anbbas giant carved into the white chalk of the hillside above. We camped there, even having a swim, as England had a rare beautifully sunny day.

EU ruling deals setback to Microsoft

European Union court rejects Microsoft's appeal in historic case
September 17, 2007
(continued from previous page)
A number of Microsoft competitors have previously weighed in on the interoperability issue in complaints to the Commission. These include the European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS), a nonprofit trade association that includes as members Adobe, IBM, Oracle, RealNetworks, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems.
"This landmark judgment sets a clear standard for Microsoft's future conduct and empowers the European Commission to impose it in the European market when necessary," said Thomas Vinje, a spokesman and legal counsel for ECIS.
Linux distributor Red Hat also voiced its support for the court's decision.
"In our business, interoperability information is critically important and cannot simply be withheld to exclude all competition?we were pleased with the overall decision and look forward to examining the decision in greater detail," Matthew Szulik, Red Hat chief executive, said in a statement.
Similar views were expressed by the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA).
"After one of the most thorough investigations in the history of competition law, spanning over seven years, the Commission has taken a steady and decisive course," Ken Wasch, SIIA president, said in a statement. "We applaud the leadership and persistence of the European Commission."
But another trade group, the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), which includes Microsoft as a member, expressed disappointment in the ruling, labeling it a blow to "free enterprise in Europe."
In addition to the interoperability issue, the court sided with the Commission on the bundling of separate software products, citing three areas that affected its decision. One was the company in question must have a dominant position in the market for the tying product, such as the Windows operating system; two, the tying product and tied product--in this case Windows and Windows Media Player--must be two separate products; and three, consumers don't have a choice to obtain the tying product without the tied product.
"The court considers that the factors on which the Commission based its conclusion that there was abusive tying are correct and consistent with community law."
RealNetworks, which makes the RealPlayer media player, had raised such an issue in the past, eventually reaching a $460 million settlement to address antitrust claims with Microsoft in 2005. Microsoft also agreed to pay RealNetworks $310 million to support RealNetworks' movie and game business.
In recent years, the software giant has been paying multimillion-dollar settlements to its rivals to address previous antitrust litigation. Microsoft also paid longtime archrival Sun Microsystems $700 million to settle antitrust disputes with the company over interoperability issues and another $900 million over patent issues.
Legal experts previously weighed in on what a favorable court ruling would do for the Commission. Some legal experts said that with a favorable court ruling in the Microsoft case, the Commission would likely remain on its current aggressive track in pursuing antitrust cases, whereas an unfavorable one would have likely "taken the wind out of its sails."
Reuters contributed to this report.

- This "European court...

How many French citizens and residents died on 9/11? Now, that was a real and present threat! Microsoft should tell the EU to go to hell and pull all of their operations out of the EU market!

- You just don't understand business
- All the EU is doing is trying to get Microsoft to offer alternative versions of Windows that don't bundle software like Media Player, Internet Explorer, etc and allow Apple iTunes/Quicktime, Real Player, Opera, Firefox, and others be installed as standard on a new PC build.
It is not about the ISO, and the ISO by the way are corrupt and take bribes from special interest groups to approve standards anyway. It is all about money and running legacy software. Most legacy software runs on the 32 bit Windows platform, but Microsoft has to stop anti-competition practices like bundling software that competes with others out there.
The rest of your statement is political based nonsense, not even worthy of my time to analyze it and tell you how non-intelligent it really is in real life.

significance compared to global warming and 9/11. The

- This European Court Done Real Right
- Without dredging up digital sources, let's just have very brief look at the (antitrust) litigation filed against MS.
1. Netscape. Where the Bush Administration, the DOJ and the Judiciary practically rewarded MS.
Remember, in one instance, when a fine was imposed on their anticompetitive behaviour, the penalty was that MS would supply to schools THEIR OWN SOFTWARE, to the tune of about $600 million,
thus seeding schools with their software, and getting a giant foothold.
2. Java-Sun negotiatated a settlement, which was MS' intention; let the victim litigate like hell until he the victim gives up.
3. SCO-Linux: MS could not cover their tracks here, there was no doubt that the litigation was driven solely by MS's self interest.
4. Apple-that was a long time, when Windows 95 came out. I think Steve Jobs finally agreed to a negotiated out-of-court settlement.
IBM, at one time, was the king of the digital world. Big Blue was synonymous with IT in the
70s and early 80s. But IBM learnt some hard lessons from from the big bruising antitrust
suits filed against it. IT CHANGED.
Enough to look at a new world-view. Enought to drop some of its businesses closely identified with the company: PCs and laptops. And move to a new business model where it is now the leader in IT Integration, Tech Outsourcing, BPOs, Call Centres, et al. It is today a big champion of Open Source. And Linux.
Microsoft's mindset, unfortunately cannot embrace anything that does not bear the MS tag. If there's any hint of a competitive threat, it works to spread FUD. The systematic campaign, sponsored polls and reports on total cost of ownership (TCO) vis-a-vis Linux, the threat of suing users of Open Source products because they allegedly violated 258 of MS patents, all these
suggest it will be very hard for MS to change.
And, maybe it's too late. Companies like IBM, which have a huge stake in Open Source, will battle Microsoft every inch of the way.
The EU defeat will now tell on MS in other ways. The loss of an affirmative ISO vote for OOXML is now going to be a definite negative one, come
2008, when a final vote is taken.

- microsoft likely to pull out of Europe - don't think so
- I think MS is not unhappy with the (surcharge) money european consumers have to pay for MS software. It's obvious that the "free market" has a problem with pricing of operating systems and software from microsoft. One interesting issue is that the price looks almost the same in the US as in the UK. However there is a dollar-sign in North America and a pound-sign in England. A pound is worth almost two dollars.....To be fair we shall not blame microsoft for the dollar exchange rate - but a similar real price would not be unwelcome.
A question, computer hardware has dropped dramatically in price in the last decade - why has microsoft's productivity not been able to keep prices of software down? (Are indian wages to high :-)

- A Possible Solution
- If the powers that be would really like to stop preditory practices, they have the power to do it. The patent/copy rights are granted by the governments. When an intity uses its monopoly to unlawfully thwart competition, and would pay any find to stop the practices, eliminate the problem. Take their patent/copy rights away.
Micro$oft was basically on trial for using all OS before XP. They weren't complient, they'd rather pay the fine, and continue to be out of compliance. Take their ability away to control the previous OS, they're not supporting them anyway. Anything in those OS would be available to anyone for developement. Anything in the new OS that is not in the old OS would still be protected. Some entity could take say Windows 98 SE upgrade it, sell the upgrade along with a copy of Windows 98 SE which is now available for copy and distribution without Micro$oft's ability to stop it. Walla almost instant competition. to present day Micro$oft.
It would also deter Micro$oft or any other monopoly from abusing an order to cease in desist. Make them more willing to compy with requests from the powers that be. Governments take guns away if guns are miss used, cars, pets, children, why not a patent/copyright? They would only be taking away the protection they afforded to the intities now, not the product.

- Backfiring for US competitors
- Now it's Microsoft. Regulators in EU now are fully embolded to go after (in order):
- Apple, for the monopoly in MP3 players
- Adobe, for the monopoly in editing tools and formats, and Flash.
- IBM, for monopoly of the last remaining mainframe systems (AS400 anyone?), which are the majority of EU banking backbone.
- Cisco, for monopoly in routers, etc.
And so on..
The trick is to identify what's a market and define the company's share on that. If you cut the pie the "right" way, even Sun, with its pathetic market share, is a monopolist in some area.
These court findings are just the justification EU has now to protect its local technology companies against any international competition through law, instead of quality and inovation, the same way they do with agricultural products, chemicals, etc.
The US companies that sided with EU this time for greed will soon realize that you sometimes should think twice before making your wish...

On the other hand, this is Microsoft we are talking about and
they have used a lot of unethical business practices to get where

- Well, we have different laws here in the USA
- The USA has more of a free market.
You might not understand it, but many people here in the USA believe they should leave Microsoft alone as long as they are not doing anything like burning down the competitor's factories, murdering the competitor's employees, kidnapping their kids, etc.... You know, stuff that's REALLY criminal.
Europe leans more socialist. And, if you're going to do business in the EU, you have to follow the EU's rules.
I doubt any of this is going to have any effect, other than to punish Microsoft and their shareholders. At the end of the day, Microsoft will still have most of the market share, and most Windows users will have Media Player installed.

- topic is about unfair competition
- I believe the main reason for this whole affaire is that, right or wrong, Microsoft's programmers making word, excel etcetera - have an unfair advantage against other programmers e.g. at Lotus, Corel and other companies creating similar office applications.
In my mind the best solution, to create fair competition, would be to split Microsoft into one OS company and one applications company. The latter should then have insight into the OS as any other competitor - no less info, no more info.
Also with less links to a, too, dominant player on the market - consumer driven document standards would have easier to survive for the benifit of the consumer - not the producer.

- Case study & wake up call for other courts in developing countries ?
- Thank God, at least it gives hopes for a better competitive legal O/S and application software market in developing countries, where Microsoft control of legal software market share is also very dominant, it might abuse its dominant position (take it or leave it) by setting high price in Indonesia and other developing countries.
Consequently, prices of proprietary legal O/S software products can often be more expensive in Indonesia (developing country) than in USA or Europe,for instant in contrast with the price of Mac Donald hamburger or Kentucky fried chicken in global market which follow purchasing power of the people in a country (competitive & fair competition market).
Alternative legal products (GNU, Linux & Open Source) are still scarce and less popular, so many still end up using illegal software (pirated copy) that are readily available in the market.
Strong lobby of dominant players on the IPR and Anti Monopoly law also seen in many developing country such as Indonesia, where dominant position in IPR products issues are excluded from Anti Monopoly and Unfair Competition law, thus monopoly might exist for IPR products, which made the EU court ruling on unfair competition a start and a wake up call for other courts in global competition in many part of the world today.
Hoping it can be used as case study for other courts and countries globally to give fair competition to small players and customer of Microsoft global market dominant products.

- I sided with the EU based on principle
- I hope I get what I wished for. Monopolies are bad for the people of the economy. Monopolies are good for a hierarchical caste system like the US, behooving only the heirs to the vested interests of the monopolistic businesses.
In siding with the EU, I'm agreeing that somebody else has no right to forcibly rob me of my life and work value and provide it to their own kids so their own kids can live a better life than me.

I don't see why not. Microsoft has time and again been brought up on anti-trust cases. The only difference is that the EU doesn't have America's legal system on their side.
The legal system that allows unfair anti-trust practices to continue if you throw enough money to the lawyers!
The U.S. needs to learn from this and follow suit and PROOVE this Bottom Line to be false.

TiPb Apps #1.5 -- 1Password for iPhone and iPad (Macworld 2010)
i like it....
I love having 1Password on my MacBook and my iPhone and I'm really looking forward to downloading it onto my iPad.
1Password Pro was really annoying me when I first bought cause when you used the browser the screen could not rotate according to how you held the phone. They finally fixed this and now I've slowly started to use it more and more and recommend it. I wish the full Mac version wasn't so expensive. I put off buying it cause I think it cost to much.
1password was free a long time ago, and a coworker convinced me it was worth trying. Now, it has become an intrical part of my computer life and is essential in a world where you need to change your passwords almost every other week. Even at it's current force point, I think that anyone who does a good deal of time online would benefit from this secure orgization tool.
Great, informative interview. Particularly impressive is the encryption and auto-filling of form data. Also, from my personal experience using the iPhone app, great and convenient for those websites (like educational/university logins) that forcibly disable automatic saved password filling.
I'm obsessed with password security. While this is a great tool for some I'm sure, I'm a bit paranoid about storing my passwords anywhere other than my head.
i have ipassword pro....

I think that patterdale terriers are one of the best dogs out there.
Patterdale Terriers are fearless dogs that are great in the ground hunters.
A lot of people compare patterdale terriers to pit bulls but really they are a much more game dog.
Pit bulls are used to fight other dogs and the same sized. Patterdale Terriers will take on wild animals while hunting that can be 100 times their size. They will also go underground and hunt in the dark closed areas of another animals burrow.
Patterdales terriers are usually on the smaller side ranging from 10lbs to 20lbs. The reason for the smaller size is that need to be able to fit underground in order to hunt their prey. The will hunt just about anything fox, ground hog, badger, raccoon, nutria, squirrels, and rats.
If you are interested in buying patterdale terriers or seeing a list of patterdale terrier breeders click here.
Hunters have used these dogs for many years hunting underground for quarry. The dogs have been kept in a very tight breeding which makes them very specific for what they are bred on. They are not bread for any specific color but tend to be black or brown. But color is not important to the patterdale breeder.

How to reduce video size with Sony Vegas?
09-11-2009, 11:31 AM | Post: #1Boombaastical
Hai gais
I just wanted to know this because I'm making a video at the moment, and the big deal is that it's 3 GB large. I tried to reduce framerate but it seems awful after reducing it by half.
Anyone out there who knows how to do it? I just want to reduce video quality.

One thing you can do, and possibly the most important, is crop each video segment.
Rendering options will also define how large your video file will turn out to be.
You can also decrease the file size, of the final video, by modifying the Project Properties.
Small resolutions like 640 x 480 might work, but will create a lower quality video, after being uploaded to YouTube.
Most of those options above, will change a define how large your overall video file size, will be, when you completely render the project.
More detailed information for each item on the list, can be found with simple web searches. Multiple YouTube videos are devoted to showing users how to work with these features.

That wuz fast!
And correct, i have exp. with sony and thats how i reduced my video frame size.
But he asked for file reduction, not frame size reduction. Although, the "render as" does help a lot, i reudced my 5gig video to a few MB's.
P.s. Enders, that sig wrockz!

Checking Out the Argonaut's New Patio
I recently enjoyed brunch on the Argonaut's (1433 H Street) new semi-enclosed patio. The new enclosure should make the space usable in the rain, & during colder months.
A look at what's going on in Trinidad, on H Street, and in the larger area north of Capitol Hill.
This looks awesome. Had no idea they were doing this. Guess that means I owe them a visit soon :)
Nice. Has their food improved? Used to go a few years ago but food quality started declining so I stopped.
I was there yesterday, and sat out there, while it rained. It was really pleasant.
The food will not win a James Beard award, but it is solid.
I noticed that they started to have the only entrance to be on H Street and closed off the patio. I asked the bartender about it and said they were updating the patio.
Good for them. Food is good as always.
Will this create a greenhouse effect in the warmer months? Guess we'll find out
Looks very nice. This used to be my go-to spot, especially on nice days, but the past few years saw a steep decline in food and service and I haven't been back since. I wonder if they have made improvements on those fronts as well.

Re: Totally ridiculous statement
For 1 cars and cell phones are not the same thing. And if you're going to make comparisons at least do it right because dealerships rarely are the ones who own you loan. Oh and by the way if you don't pay your auto loan they come and take you car, so by that same token if you have a phone on 2 year contract pricing and cancel your contract your carrier should be able to take your phone if you don't pay your ETF. Also if you read the fine print in many auto loans there are parts about not modifing your car while it still is owned by the lender.

Here's a frankfurter that won't fit on a bun. Hot dust-obscured galaxies, or hot DOGs, are a new type of cosmic object that could help answer a decades-old problem: which came first, the galaxy or the black hole?
The newly discovered galaxies are among the brightest in the universe, 1000 times brighter than the Milky Way, but they are so heavily clouded by dust that they had gone entirely unnoticed until now – hence the description "hot, dust-obscured".
Astronomers think they could represent a new phase in galaxy evolution."We may be seeing them at a crucial transformational stage," says Rachel Somerville of Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey, who was not involved in the new work. "Just as if we see a butterfly emerging from cocoon, it might suggest butterflies and caterpillars are the same animals, which we otherwise might not realise."
The hot DOGs showed up in an all-sky survey by the NASA WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) space telescope in 2010. WISE scanned the sky in infrared wavelengths corresponding to heat, meaning it could peer behind the veil of dust that obscures the visible light from hot objects.
Black hole shock
Astronomers expected the brightest objects captured by WISE to be active galactic nuclei – formed when gluttonous black holes that lurk at the centres of galaxies guzzle gas and dust to grow bigger. Radiation from the black hole heats the gas and dust to white-hot temperatures just before the material falls in. The glow from that hot gas can outshine our galaxy by orders of magnitude.
And indeed, WISE uncovered millions of these galactic nuclei, finding that for every one that could be seen in visible light, there were two or three hidden behind a dust veil.
But surprisingly, the telescope also uncovered about 1000 objects that were even brighter – and stranger. Follow-up observations showed that they were mostly about 10 billion light years away, and were 1000 times brighter than the entire Milky Way and more than twice as hot as the average galaxy. But they were so heavily obscured by dust that even WISE couldn't see them in two of its four cameras, which each sense a different infrared wavelength.
As well as pumping out huge amounts of light, hot DOGs also seem to concentrate more of their mass in their central black hole than in their stars. Most mature galaxies end up with a central black hole that is about 500 times the mass of all their stars combined. But the brightness of hot DOGs suggests that their central black holes are even more massive relative to the surrounding stars.
Different beast
"In that way they're definitely a different type of beast than we've seen before," says Peter Eisenhardt of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, a project scientist for WISE.
That centre-heavy bias could mean that these galaxies are in a phase where the black hole is eating material much faster than the galaxy can form new stars. At the same time, the pressure from the black hole's radiation is pushing the gas and dust around it away. Over time, the black hole will clear its surroundings of the obscuring gas and dust, transforming the hot DOG into an ordinary, visible galaxy. "We may be seeing a rare phase of galaxy evolution, where dust and gas are being heated and ejected by the supermassive black hole," says Eisenhardt's colleague Jingwen Wu.
"This suggests the supermassive black holes may grow before their stars are fully formed," Eisenhardt says. "If you call the stars the chickens, we're saying maybe the eggs are there first."
Despite their names, hot DOGs are actually not very hot – their average temperature, taking into account not only their stars but the cold interstellar gas, is about 100 Kelvin, or -173 degrees Celsius. The average galaxy is just 30 or 40 K. But a real hot dog, the kind you might eat, is about 350 K.

need a hand.....astronaut loves donut
Was given the opportunity to exhibit some art work in a local art show. I decided to create this piece that I've decided to call "Astronaut loves donut".
But I'm having some issue getting it to looking right and decided to get some helpful criticism so that I can fix it up before the show.
Personal I like my quick sketch better than my other attempt. Mostly because the astronaut is actually holding the donut for dear life.
The main issues that are bugging me (I'm sure there many more that you will pick up on) are the hands, the left leg and were the body hugs the donut.

Yeah, the quick sketch looks better, not only because of the pose but because it's looser and has more "energy" in it, and all the mistakes are easier to ignore, But now that you have started to polish it all the flaws and things where your skill isn't enough are ten times clearer. The sketch also has a clearer "point of interest" as the lines in both sides concentrate towards the astronaut tightly.
But the most obvious this is that right now the astronaut is literally melding with the doughnut, and not holding it.

Thanks for the advice TinyBird.
I went back and decided to think up something better. This is what I came up with. I was watching an old Simpson episode when I saw lard lad, through that would make a great illustration for my whole astronaut love donuts.
Then I was thinking of doing some kind of donut death machine. Some of the quick sketches just weren't working for me. Till I realized it would look better as a spaceship.

Tom Hanks reveals type 2 diabetes to David Letterman on 'Late Show'Add to Favorites | Late Show With David Letterman
Tom Hanks made a surprising medical revelation to David Letterman on "Late Show." The beloved actor, who stars in the upcoming "Captain Phillips," is currently battling type 2 diabetes.
"Maintaining the temple, Dave, I've been maintaining the temple. I went to the doctor and he said, 'You know those high blood sugar numbers you've been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you've graduated! You've got type 2 diabetes, my man,'" Hanks explains to Letterman with plenty of laughs. "Well, it's controllable. Something's going to kill us all, Dave."
Apparently there is a way for Hanks to beat the disease, but it's not one that he's willing to try -- and for good reason.
"My doctor said, 'Look, if you can weigh as much as you weighed in high school, you will essentially be completely healthy and will not have type 2 diabetes,' and then I said to her, 'Well I'm going to have type 2 diabetes' because there is no way I can weigh as much as I weighed in high school,'" he says. "I weighed 96 pounds in high school. I was a very skinny boy."
