Shocking lack of ethicsMay 24,2013
Shocking lack of ethics
The story about Gov. Shumlins real estate deal taking advantage of his down-on-his-luck neighbor is shocking, disgraceful. It would be disgusting no matter who did it, but Shumlin is the governor of Vermont and as such is required to behave ethically and give not even the appearance of impropriety. He took advantage of his high position and seems not to have conducted himself with the propriety and dignity required by his office.
Obviously, Mr. Dodge has learned that he could not trust the governor. Can any Vermonter do so anymore?
And what about the East Montpelier lister who sheepishly admitted to lowering the appraisal about 40 percent, because its hard to ignore that hes the states leader. Theres a subconscious influence, he is quoted as saying by WCAX reporter Jennifer Reading. So he too was taken advantage of by the governor. I have lived under seven governors since 1970: Deane Davis, Tom Salmon, Richard Snelling, Madeleine Kunin, Howard Dean and Jim Douglas, and a number of senators and congressmen, and I cannot think of any instance in all these years of any one of them behaving other than with the strictest ethical standards. Perhaps Gov. Shumlin can still make this right. Otherwise he should resign.

Kasich sets sights high for successPublished 10:53am Friday, December 28, 2012
The old saying is to "shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars." In that case, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is a virtual astronaut.
With two years now under his belt Ohio's citizens can start to get a picture for what type of governor Kasich has been and will be for the rest of his term.
One word comes to mind: fearless.
The governor has not shied away from the myriad of problems facing the state and his relentless approach — which sometimes comes across much like a bull in a china shop — has the state in a stronger position than it has been in many years and there is a plan in place for many of the long-time challenges deemed unfixable.
Right from the start he bridged an $8 billion deficit without raising taxes.
Kasich changed the entire business climate and the perception of Ohio. The state has climbed from the bottom of the ladder in terms of job creation to now rank in the top five this year.
The governor has helped initiate reforms for Ohio's higher education system that will hold the institutions more accountable for student success.
He has created a plan for the Ohio Turnpike that will benefit that roadway and jumpstart infrastructure projects across the state. He has helped address the public employee retirement system that still needs work but is stronger than it has been for decades.
These successes don't even include huge strides in eliminating the "death tax," reforming Medicaid, focsuing on public education and the state's prison system and just cutting general government inefficiencies at every level.
Perhaps the only area where Kasich has fallen short was Senate Bill 5, what became State Issue 2. This legislation is much-needed reform of how public unions operate, but it failed in part for overreaching and in part for the abrasive way the governor approached it.
But Kasich seems to have learned from this misstep and has sharpened his tact on many key issues, which has helped propel some of the recent successes.
The Columbus Dispatch may have said it best recently: "… Kasich's most critical accomplishment doesn't appear on a spreadsheet or in legislation; it rests in the hearts of the many Ohioans who again have hope that their state and their prospects are on the rise."
At one time it looked like Kasich was all but certain to be a one-term governor. Now, if his second two years are as good as his first, Ohio's citizens should hope he gets four more after that.

"With more than 40 bestselling titles, Stormie Omartian is recognized in particular for her Power of Prayer series in which she addresses the impact and importance of prayer in daily life as a complement to one's Christian faith. Jill Shellabarger provides a clear narration of the author's message. Without trying to mimic the author, she delivers the material with authenticity. Omartian is particularly strong in her ability to motivate listeners to continually improve their relationships with God and to continually refine their own spiritual paths, and Shellabarger's delivery of these aspects of the production matches the persuasiveness and passion of the author. While Omartian's work is directed primarily to a female audience, Shellabarger's narration style makes it work for men, too."

Mystery Millions
The 60 Plus Association's conservative message isn't new, but its wealth is.
About four weeks ago, a 30-second political ad with a simple script and modest production values went on the air in Paul Kanjorski's northeast-Pennsylvania district. Three men appeared onscreen, trading off lines like relatives trying to tell the story of the family vacation.
"Washington liberals like Paul Kanjorski have betrayed Pennsylvania seniors," said the first man. "He voted for Nancy Pelosi's big government health care plan that costs a trillion dollars," said the second, interrupted by the third, who informed viewers that this plan "raises taxes and cuts $500 billion from Medicare."
"Seniors could lose their doctors," said the first man, bringing it home. He closed the ad, too. "Paul Kanjorski, you cut our Medicare. And this November, you're fired."
If you lived in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or Hazleton, you saw a lot of that ad. How often? Well, the 60 Plus Association bought $464,011 of airtime for it and another ad attacking Kanjorski over the economy. That's more than a third of what Kanjorki's opponent, Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, spent against him in 2008. Barletta is running against Kanjorski again this year.
So the Kanjorski campaign has responded with guns blazing. It called 60 Plus "a conservative front group that wants to destroy Social Security." The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee deployed its counsel to ask local stations to remove the ad. The effect? Nothing. Not only did 60 Plus stay on the air in Wilkes-Barre, it stayed on the air in all of the states where it bought ads—Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, New York, Indiana, Tennessee, and Arizona. The average buy for an ad taking a Democrat apart over "Medicare cuts" was about $400,000.
The problem facing Democrats wasn't just this huge new influx of enemy cash. It was also that they had no idea where 60 Plus was getting that money from. (As a 501(c)4 organization, 60-Plus does not have to disclose its donors and only needs to detail where money has come from in annual 990 forms.) In 2006 and 2007, it spent $1.2 million and $1.9 million. Now it's dumping $6 million on ads?
"It's disturbing that anyone can start an organization called '60 Plus' or 'Americans for Jobs' or something and we don't know who's behind it," says Nicole Giambusso, Kanjorski's campaign spokeswoman.
It's the complaint of the 2010 Democrat. Can Democrats persuade anonymously funded groups to reveal their funding? No. Can they get watchdog groups to find out where the money comes from? No. The most they can do is imply that the mysterious ads are funded by foreigners, something they've been doing since President Obama chastised the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case at the State of the Union address.
Still, 60 Plus plays a unique role in the Great Democratic Panic of 2010. Its funding sources are shadowy enough. When I asked both of the men who handled media for 60 Plus where the money came from, I got the same answer:
"The 60 Plus Association is funded by five and a half million citizen activists and others," said Tom Kise, the group's main spokesman.
"There are five and a half million supporters of 60 Plus," said Carl Forti, who handles the group's PR and media activity and once worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee. "And that's where the funding comes from."

Granted it's a little vague, but Child Foundation sounds like a perfectly respectable name for a nonprofit international aid organization. After all, who doesn't want to help children? But according to federal prosecutors, the Portland-based group was responsible for illegally sending millions of dollars to Iran. And rather than using the money for humanitarian work, three people affiliated with the foundation are accused of investing in real estate and other ventures and financially supporting a radical ayatollah.
Image via
According to court documents, the trio made substantial donations to Child Foundation. With the money, the organization and its partners "purchased goods and services," "made investments," and "exported goods and bulk agricultural commodities" such as rice and corn oil to Iran, in violation of the U.S. trade embargo with the country.
They are also charged with overstating the amount of the donations and backdating receipts in order to cheat on their taxes.
It's not just chump change that was changing hands. According to the indictment, the organization was responsible for wiring at least $5.3 million to Iran between 1997 and 2008.
Another man, Mherdad Yasrebi, is accused of conspiring to split the proceeds of some of the donations with Iran's Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi. Shirazi is a supporter of Hezbollah, the documents say, and also a Holocaust denier who spoke out against President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's proposal to allow women in the country's soccer stadiums, according to Wikipedia.
Lahiji and Vahid have pleaded not guilty to the charges. In an official statement, Child Foundation's Board of Directors denied any wrongdoing, saying "the charges are based solely on alleged violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran and provisions of the U.S. treasury tax codes which set unprecedented difficulties for any organization or individual in America providing humanitarian aid to people living in politically unpopular nations."
The court documents, however, tell a different story. When they realized investigators were onto them, Iranshahi and Yesrabi allegedly tried to cover their tracks by falsifying documents because "even a fool could tell" from existing reports that they were illegally sending money to Iran.

Check out these bargain stocks

It's somewhat alarming when a friend, one who has never had a passing thought about the stock market, asks me to show her how to buy "pot stocks." I saw dollar signs glowing like neon lights in her pupils. Apparently, my friend's co-worker was boasting to everyone in the office that her profits on a Cannabis stock she recently bought would end up paying for her kids to go to college. (I thought to myself, "Is she high?")
Her co-worker bought shares of a $0.05 cannabis company that has since hit an incredible high (pardon the pun) of $0.20. I didn't quiz my friend on the details of the trade, but let's suppose her co-worker bought 100,000 shares of CBIS at $.05 (just to give you some idea, the 50-day moving average of volume has increased from 3 million to 26 million in just the past month).
Since the stock is currently trading for $0.21, her $5,000 investment would now be worth $21,000. I sincerely doubt she bought that 100,000 shares, but regardless, that's not a bad return on investment. In fact, it's quite a carrot to dangle in front of my friend who thinks CNBC is about as fascinating as watching paint dry (she has the same opinion of my job).
The old adage, "there is no such thing as a stupid question" can be misleading. There are definitely stupid questions. I've even been guilty of asking a few myself. We've all heard them and we've cringed, maybe rolled our eyes, or had to take a deep breath before answering. I decided to go with that last option before addressing my friend's question. Her question shouldn't have been "how do I buy pot stocks?" but "should I buy pot stocks at all?"
As with any hot trend that takes the market by storm, she's not alone in her eagerness to cannon-ball into a pool of what she thinks are guaranteed profits. You see, would-be investors don't have any room to digest boring facts that aren't nearly as tasty as what the media is offering. But sometimes the stuff that has all the flavor of cardboard is what's good for us (and our bottom line), so I'm going to attempt to answer the question I think my friend should have asked...
Is now the time to buy 'Pot Stocks'?
I want to preface my answer with a quick look at what's been going on in this industry. 'Pot Stocks' have been tracked in the VectorVest database since 2004 (before most people knew there was such a thing). But the real buzz started November 2012 when the states of Colorado and Washington approved legislation to legalize both the medical and recreational use of marijuana.
The month prior to the legalization, October 2012, there were only four pot stocks: MediSwipe (MWIP), Medical Marijuana (MJNA), Cannabis Science (CBIS), Nuvilex (NVLX). Every single one of them penny stocks.
The industry's average closing price on 11/21/12 was $.06, the next trading day, 11/23/12, the industry average at the open was $12.25. Whoa! Wait a minute, the reason for the big change in average price is only partially due to the original group of stocks surging in price. The primary reason for the jump was due to a new guy being added to our database, Medbox (MDBX), at $61.00.
So let's take a look at MDBX.
Medbox deserves attention because it captures the insanity surrounding this industry. In less than one week, the stock shot from $4.00 to $215, then proceeded to fall to a (still insane) $100. Medbox's market cap shot through the roof, moving from $45 million to $2.3 billion.
Let me repeat, this was in less than a week.
Here's the thing that boggles my mind, though. The company's own founder, Vincent Mehdizadeh is quoted as saying, "We believe an appropriate trading range is between $5 and $10 but, alas, the market will do what it will do." As of February 10, 2014, Medbox is trading at $27.41, still several times greater than its value.
Below, you'll find a chart of the current pot stocks being traded, as well as VectorVest's valuation of these stocks. For more on VectorVest's valuation of stocks, go here.
While Medbox may be just one of the extreme examples in this industry, its cannabis competitors aren't so different in their price behavior. Few of these stocks have any fundamental worth to recommend them. The majority have zero or negative earnings and every single one of them are trading at a premium compared to current value. The background of this industry clearly points to irrational exuberance grossly inflating stock prices.
At least for the time being, buying pot stocks is not even close to investing; it's extreme speculation. So, just to be clear, my answer to my friend would be no, now is not the time to buy stocks in this industry.
I happen to agree with Medbox's founder that "the market will do what it will do," or in my case, my friend will buy whatever she wants to buy regardless of any warning signs I post... and really, I'm no one to say she's wrong. Fortunes have been made on crazier market trends, like during the dot.com era. This could actually turn into something of real substance, but I would still have a few tips for her:
Today, 20 states have legalized marijuana in some form, making this industry one to watch. I might buy a few shares myself, but no more than I would risk at the blackjack tables in Vegas. I prefer to let early adopters shoulder the big risks.
As obstacles are cleared and leaders emerge, those of us that have hung back will still have plenty of time to profit (legally) from pot.
So what would I buy while I'm waiting around to see how the cannabis industry develops? Well, I hate to leave you with a cliffhanger, but that will have to be a topic for my next article.

When something doesn't work, a liberal's solution is to just do more of whatever it is.
If welfare isn't reducing poverty, we need to spend more on welfare. If no gun signs aren't reducing school shootings, we need to have more and bigger no gun signs.
The alternative is too painful for the liberal to contemplate - that maybe his solution was wrong and he needs to change direction.
Well it looks to me like that sign is really saying no revolvers, not no guns... And if pistols aren't okay, how 'bout a 12 guage semi auto under a trench coat...with permit of course.
Such a strange mentality.
I heard a commentator the other day saying how allowing students to carry guns would only have increased the death toll at Tech because the students would miss and hit each other instead of the killer.

Nineteen-year-old Matias Perry, who threw the first punch in the attack that led to the death of Matthew Chew on a New London street two years ago, pleaded no contest to manslaughter Thursday and will be sentenced in February to 15 years in prison.
Perry is one of six New London teens charged in the Oct. 29, 2010, stabbing death of Chew, a 25-year-old artist and restaurant worker who was walking home from his job at a Huntington Street restaurant. He is the second person to accept a plea offer in the case, and more pleas are anticipated in the upcoming weeks.
The person considered the lead aggressor, Idris Elahi, 19, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced in May to 35 years in prison. The state then began making plea offers to the other five defendants, all of whom remain incarcerated, based on whether they cooperated with the investigation.
Perry, one of two teens who did not cooperate, received an offer to plead guilty in exchange for a sentence of 20 years, suspended after 15 years served and five years probation. According to statements made in court, he initially appeared reluctant to accept the offer but changed his mind after talking with his mother and his attorney, Peter E. Scillieri. Had he taken his case to trial, the state would have prosecuted him on the original charge of accessory to murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.
Standing before Judge Susan B. Handy Thursday, Perry had to be reminded to speak up as he answered a series of questions the judge posed to ensure he understands the deal.
Chew's parents, Marilyn and Rick Chew, were aware of the plea offer and are expected to attend the Feb. 7 sentencing. Perry's mother, who lives in Florida, also is expected to attend.
According to the prosecutor Stephen M. Carney, the six teens met at Elahi's house and devised a plan to go downtown and jump somebody. Chew, who had just finished his shift as a cook at 2Wives Brick Oven Pizza on Huntington Street, was walking toward his home on nearby Washington Street when one of the teens asked him for a lighter.
"He reached into his pocket and this defendant (Perry) did assault the victim," Carney said.
According to co-defendant Brian Rabell, who described the attack during a probable cause hearing in the case last year, Perry and then Marquis Singleton punched Chew in the head, and the other teens joined in on the attack.
Nineteen-year-old Rahshad Perry, who is not related to Matias Perry, received the same plea offer as Matias Perry because he, too, declined to provide a statement to police and testify at the probable cause hearing. Rahshad Perry initially rejected the offer and said he wanted to take his case to trial. He may reconsider the offer when he appears in court next week, according to his attorney, William Grace.
The other defendants who cooperated with the investigation — Rabell, 20, Tyree Bundy, 19, and Marquis Singleton, 19 — have received plea offers that involve a shorter prison sentence than the 15-year offer extended to Matias and Rahshad Perry.
They have been told their cases would be resolved next.

Bopping and Hooping: The Ditty Bops w/ Jesca Hoop, 3/10/07 at the Barrymore Theatre
Post by Emily Mills on 3/12/2007 1:34pm
The Ditty Bops must like Madison. Saturday night marked their second visit to the city in under a year, the first being while on their summer bicycle tour and this most recent stint part of a more abbreviated trip. They brought with them singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop, who opened and came out to sing on a number of the Bops' songs.
If you've never seen The Ditty Bops live, you're missing out on a very entertaining spectacle. The group is well-known for their playfulness, staging everything from pirate sea shanties to routines with marionettes made of old yogurt containers. Their costumes are always interesting, too, usually leaning towards 20s and 30s cabaret style.
As part of a petition they've started to reduce the use of plastic, Saturday night's theme centered on creative uses of the stuff. Amanda Barrett (vocals, mandolin, washboard) wore a fetching bath mat cum top stitched together using old plastic bags and the like. Abby DeWald (vocals, guitar) was on her fourth Target bag bikini top of the tour. If I learned nothing else, it's that you can wash clothing made of plastic bags to make them last longer and to keep them from getting too stinky.
The Bops' backing band, talented boys all, each modeled their own special plastic wear, with the bassist taking the cake in a fetching see-through plastic dress. Jesca Hoop, whose ethereal and eclectic songs won the audience over at the start of the show, joined the band on stage in her own Saran Wrap shirt.
They played through a good set of songs from both albums ("The Ditty Bops†and their most recent effort, "Moon Over the Freewayâ€Â), ending with their cover of "Sister Kate.†There were many highlights during the eveningâ€â€Amanda doing the limbo under a string of plastic bags, Hoop and the Bops singing beautiful three-part harmonies, violinist John Lambdin's hilarious rendition of a Dan Hick's tune. The best, however, had to be the dance circle that opened up during the final song. Various brave members of the audience and the band itself dove in and strutted their stuff. There were swing dancers, drunken wobblers, one really good break dancer and then Abby and the bassist jumped into the fray to have a go.
The Ditty Bops make their home in Los Angeles and originally cut their chops playing regular shows around the city. Their music has been described as everything from folk-pop to modern cabaret or tin-pan-alley style rag. Whatever it is, the music is infectiously grin-inducing. It's hard to stay in your seat for a whole show. The fact that Abby and Amanda have been a couple for years only seems to add to the sweetness and joy of their performances.
"We really like Madison,†they proclaimed. "You've got the Willy St. Co-op, you ride your bikes in the snow, and you've got lots of gay people!â€Â
The audience cheered and laughed, happily clapping and dancing away. It seemed pretty clear that Madison liked The Ditty Bops right back.

Analyzing Renewable Energy In The United States
NEW YORK, July 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Analyzing Renewable Energy in the United States http://www.reportlinker.com/p01497377/Analyzing-Renewable-Energy-in-the-United-States.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Renewable_energyThere is no doubt that the United States is a torch bearer in the renewable energy industry. In fact, 11.14 percent of the electricity produced in the US in the first six months of 2010, came from renewable energy resources itself. The US was the largest producer of electricity from wind power, solar power and geothermal sources in 2009, coming in second to China in the overall production of renewable energy. The US has one of the largest wind power installed capacities in the world, enough to provide nearly 10 million households across the country. Following wind, solar power also has a major share to contribute to the total electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the US. President Obama has called for doubling the amount of renewable energy being used in the next three years particularly in order to meet the challenges of climate change and energy security. In this industry scenario, Aruvians Rsearch carries out an in-depth analysis of the renewable energy sector in the United States. Aruvians research report analyzes the following renewable energy segments in the US - wind power, solar power, biomass power, biofuels, fuel cells, geothermal power, hydropower, distributed generation technologies, microgrids, combined heat and power/cogeneration, waste-to-energy, waste management, and the smart grid. The report begins with an overview of the global energy industry in order to give the reader an idea of why the world requires renewable energy. An introduction to the US renewable energy industry includes an overview of the market, market trends, integration of renewable energy, and an analysis of the challenges facing the US energy industry as well as the factors driving the industry. The impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is discussed amongst the impacts on the industry. We also include an analysis on why the US needs renewable energy.

Sports Gene: What Makes the Perfect Athlete (Hardback)David Epstein
Hardback Published: 29/08/2013
- Not available
This is shortlisted for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2013. Is Usain Bolt a superhuman one-off? Are sports stars like Paula Radcliffe and Tiger Woods born or made? Could we all be Olympians if we trained hard enough? And is the answer to be found by looking at Alaskan huskies? In this ground-breaking and entertaining exploration of athletic success, award-winning writer David Epstein gets to the heart of the great nature vs. nurture debate, and explodes myths about why top sportsmen excel. Along the way Epstein exposes the flaws in the so-called 10,000-hour rule that states that rigorous practice from a young age is the only route to success. He shows why some skills that we imagine are innate are not - like the bullet-fast reactions of a baseball player - and why other characteristics that we assume are entirely voluntary, like an athlete's will to train, might in fact have important genetic components. Through on-the ground reports at locations ranging from below the equator to above the Arctic Circle, revealing conversations with leading scientists and Olympic champions, and interviews with athletes who have rare genetic mutations or physical traits, Epstein forces us to rethink the very nature of sport.

in response to ipilyaI am having the same problems in iMovie '11?? Has any one figured out the fix?
I believe it has to with making sure you press "done" before you move onto the next slide, but even that is not working consistently. ?
officer_m168 Nov 21, 2010 2:13 PM
in response to sandemcSame problem here, wanted to change the stabilisation settings (which i think are terrible).
Every time i moved the slider to stop the software from zooming in on the clips it just reverted back after a while.
Even after pressing done
jrothmanshore Nov 21, 2010 6:07 PM
in response to sandemcI was suffering from this problem and figured out the cause, at least for me.
One of my projects was corrupt (how that happened is still a mystery), and I was trying to recreate it. As I was doing this, I found that iMovie was frequently not saving my changes. Very annoying and very mysterious.
I discovered that the root cause was other, corrupt project. It was still in iMovie, and I would periodically mouse over it to look at the order of the old project (this was still possible, despite its corrupt state).
What I figured out was that every time I touched the corrupt project, iMovie was silently going into a bad state. It would allow me to continue to edit other projects, but in reality, it was not saving any of my changes to them. Once I finally abandoned the project and removed it from iMove, all of my mysterious problems with iMovie not saving changes to other projects went away.
Very annoying that iMovie has these kinds of silent errors.
DCDesigner Dec 7, 2010 11:38 AM
in response to ipilyaHi everyone- I think I may have solved this. It solved it for me at least and I'm really hoping this might be a solution for a lot of frustrated people (especially those making movies for the Holidays).
For me, iMovie '09 and iMovie '11 were not allowing me to save projects. I could create new projects, and then add clips to them, and then close iMovie, and when I restarted everything was gone. I spent hours deleting preferences, restarting, moving all movie/event/project files to isolated folders, deleting projects, etc etc...
It finally occurred to me that iMovie seemed to be having trouble automating this saving procedure. Which then made me think about why that might be, which lead to "permissions." When you don't have permission to write to a folder, you can't. Neither can iMovie. So I checked my main "Movies" folder, and I had the correct Read/Write permissions. So then I checked the "iMovie Events" folder, and I had the correct permissions there too. Which made sense because I was able to digitize stuff all day long. So lastly I checked the permissions on my "iMovie Projects" folder- and sure enough- for some reason I only had "Read" permissions. BINGO! I don't know if iMovie or OSX made that permission change at some time, or if I dragged that folder over when I got my new laptop... anything could have happened, but either way, changing that permission to Read/Write has solved the problem.
So- to simplfy:
1) Go to User > Movies and select that folder, right click and choose "Get Info", and make sure at the bottom of that pop-up window where it says "Sharing and Permissions" that your username is marked "Read & Write." If not, change it to Read & Write"
2) Go to User > Movies > iMovie Events and do the same thing
3) Go to User > Movies > iMovie Projects and do the same thing
If any of those showed "Read Only" permission access, you probably just solved your problem.
If this works for you please call Apple and tell them to send me a free iPad
HGU Dec 7, 2010 11:47 AM
in response to ipilyaI have the same problem in iMovie 11 (and 9) that not all titles are saved, even if I press done. This is a bug I thought they had fixed when I upgraded to iMovie 11.
alysia72 Dec 7, 2010 9:24 PM
in response to DCDesignerForgive me for sounding like an idiot, but I am not very tech savvy, yet I'm in the midst of a movie project and can't save either.
What do you mean by
Go to User > Movies >
what buttons am i clicking?
1906Beagley Dec 7, 2010 10:23 PM
in response to DCDesignerDCDesigner -
I was so glad to read your article... I was hoping for a lifeline, as I've been going crazy trying to figure out what's been going wrong with this "auto save" feature. I followed your instructions and, to my great chagrin, each of the three areas you recommended checking were already in both "Read & Write" mode. So, even though these would need to be checked if not a problem, they are STILL a problem for me - because they were already checked.
I've got 3.5 months into a 2hr movie, and I'm learning now that my iMovie '11:
a) saves about 92% of the time and
b) when creating a DVD the quality is very grainy compared to what I see on my computer screen.
I asked a Genius Bar guy about this and he suggested he had never heard of this problem. How can this be? So many people are having the same problem? ... and so close to Christmas?
I am really disappointed in Apple, as this is my first ever major investment in their computing products, both hardware and software.
Frustrated as HECK!
John Cogdell Dec 8, 2010 1:41 AM
in response to alysia72
What do you mean by - Go to User > Movies >
what buttons am i clicking?
Open Finder (should be the first item in the Dock with the happy face icon). In the window that opens, click on your User name in the left column (it has an icon like a house). You will see a number of folders on the right. Right-click (or Control-click if you don't have a 2 button mouse) on the Movies folder. Click on Get Info - at the bottom of the panel that appears you will see your Read & Write privileges. If it shows "Read only", click on the arrows and select "Read & Write".
In the Movies folder you will see folders for iMovie Events and iMovie Projects. Follow the same procedure as I've described above to check the privileges (permissions) for each of these folders (right-click and Get Info). If you have Events and/or Projects stored on an external drive, you will need to check the appropriate folders there also. However, on an external drive the Events and Projects folders will be at the top level (not inside a Movies folder as on your internal drive).

DCDesigner you may have got it!
So far great results. Your solution seems correct and fixes the problem.
I should mention that for unknown reasons my iMovies project is not in the folder +~/Users/Owner/Movies/iMovies Projects/myfirst.rcproject+ but in the folder +~/Digital & Media/iMovie Projects/myfirst.rcproject+.
Just to see what would happen, I created the Movies/iMovies folder under my user account to try but iMovies'09 would not accept this location even after I deleted com.Apple.iMovie8.plist.
Never mind, the fact is your solution to check the ownership and permissions worked and I mention the other location issue in case someone else has not considered their folder and project might be in a different place.
Let's hope this solution works while I complete my project!
JayhawkCWE Dec 15, 2010 2:34 PM
in response to ipilyawhat say I did all the permission corrections (plus running the disk utility fix) and it still happens... any ideas?
I'm using 11 btw.
DCDesigner Dec 15, 2010 2:44 PM
in response to JayhawkCWEOne other thing I found fixed my problems- not sure if its related. I realized I could go through and digitize and hour of video, and then at the end, it wouldn't appear in the Events. But if I went into iMovie Events folder, I could see that a huge clip was added, so I know the video digitized. What I realized is that you've got to be sure you have enough hard disk space otherwise iMovie won't bring that event into the Porject file. For instance, if you've only got 3 GB of space left on your drive after you digitized an hour of video, you need to free up another 5 or 10 GB before iMovie will automatically import the clip. Once I fixed this problem everything has been smooth. I was digitizing lots of videos, that was the main problem. So I ran out of space quickly.
Hope this additional info helps. Also restarting iMovie, restarting the computer, all of the obvious steps but I hope these additional fixes might help some people (permissions, and be sure you've always got at least 10-20GB available when digitizing.
JayhawkCWE Dec 16, 2010 8:23 AM
in response to ipilyaDCDesigner,
thanks for your response. I think we have it fixed (not my computer). Since all of the permissions appeared to be set correctly, i.e. she is the administrator and was set to read/write, I went to disk utility and did the ol' permissions repair. It took quite a long time and ran through a litany of permissions it needed to correct so I was hopeful. She came back today and her projects seem to be saving her changes. She does everything on an external (except for imovie) so space was not the issue.
I'm not sure if that's what fixed it, but it was the only thing I did that resembled any type of fix...

May 1, 2016
POINCIANA, Fla. (AP) -- Investigators say Cuban refugees are dominating arrests in Florida's indoor-marijuana trade.
Federal and local drug agents tell the Orlando Sentinel that Cuban drug trafficking organizations control hundreds of grow houses that have sprung up from Miami to Atlanta since 2005.
Statewide, records aren't kept that specify the nationalities of the people who run grow houses.
However, investigators point to other data.
That data includes arrests made in South Florida, the center of the marijuana trade.
Records kept by the Polk County Sheriff's Office show that 84 percent of the growers it arrests identified Cuba as their place of birth.
Central Florida drug agents say Cuban-born suspects ran 60 of 126 grow houses in six counties in the past year.

Justus Ogendi Kebabe sentenced for killing wife and two kids
Justus Kebabe is sentenced.
Three months after his wife and two of his kids were found dead in their Vadnais Heights apartment, Justus Ogendi Kebabe learned that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the murders.
He might have eluded authorities a little longer were it not for the fact that he ran out of gas on I-35 near Faribault the night of Oct. 14. When state troopers approached to check things out, he tried to run away, leaving a third child in the car.
The troopers arrested him for driving with a suspended license, and booked him into the Rice County Jail, but had no idea at first that he was trying to escape the grim murder scene. But soon, the 45-year-old's name was all over the news.
His children hadn't attended school and his wife hadn't shown up at work all week. A family member, who noticed Kebabe acting erratically, called Ramsey County for a welfare check.
Deputies showed up and found the three bodies in three separate rooms. Later, we learned that he'd beaten his wife, Bilha Omare, with a golf club and strangled her with an electrical cord. He'd fed sleeping medication to two of his little kids, 12-year-old Kinley Ogendi and nine-year-old Ivyn Ogendi. Kinley was drowned in a bathtub and Ivyn was suffocated with a pillow.
Police started to piece the story together and linked Kebabe to the murders. He pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree intentional murder only a few weeks later.
Today, District Judge Elena Ostby sentenced him to three consecutive 25-year terms.

Gas prices dropPublished 10:52pm Monday, April 23, 2012
Average retail gasoline prices in Michigan have fallen 9.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.81 per gallon Sunday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 4.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.85 per gallon, according to gasoline price website MichiganGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Michigan during the past week, prices yesterday were 15.7 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 15.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 1.5 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Average gasoline prices nationally continue to slowly drop," said Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com.
"I'll go on the record and say that come Wednesday, I expect the national average in the U.S. will actually be lower than it was on the same day in 2011. Perhaps looking at the big picture with prices having failed to reach new records so far in 2012, we can restore some gas-sanity in this country.
"Prices go up and down every year, every season, regardless of who's name is on the ballot," DeHaan said.

HJT logs that i ran and saved in my docs did not show most of these spies. I compared the BHO's between HJT and MASB. HJT only shows three out nine. So far MASB hasn't disabled something I wanted or caused any issues, etc. 3 days and counting.... third night MASB found no spies, trojans or malicious ware of any kind. Google is still on my toolbars list but no where else. MASB says it is unknown toolbar, maybe because I previously deleted the dll. for Google?
I am using it and loving it! Why you ask? Because it validates most of my suspicions about, Who is who in the intrusive software biz.Finally, I have found an Anti-spy utility; that is easy to use and understand, immediately! Has all the features I knew I needed.
First night: 9 baddies found on my system! My favorite Yahoo anti-spy; never found them(no wonder it ran such a quick scan)! MASB not only finds them, but FINALLY, I get a clearer and more understanding description about the ****** and what to do about it. Googles toolbar continues to attempt and install itself, without my permission. Interesting how; when I type a search in my Yahoo homepage, all the resulting links, lead to a google search page? Are these two Giants having a war I haven't heard about? Google is the one single BHO/searchbar app that MASB cannot remove. Yes Microsofts Anti-spy says Google is there without permission and a severe threat. It found two trojans and FINALLY FINALLY killed that NewDot.net cannot find it's dll window! HOORAY!!!It definitely solved alot of my WIN32 issues. THings that Adaware SE and Yahoo's Anti-spy never found.
Second night I had MASB installed it did it's scheduled scan and found 6 more buggers attempting to install themselves! Forget Spybot S&D; it never does anything. I had the same results as Mucka did, from an earlier post in this forum. Teatimer/enabled has never stopped a thing for me, just took up space.

OT: trick for peeling hard boiled eggs?
I crack the shells in a couple places against the counter and then roll the egg between my palms to break up the shell and loosen the membrane from the white, but gently so that you don't break the membrane, then you can peel it right off.

Use a spoon! Gently crack the egg then slide a spoon under the shell. The shell will come right off.
Jo, I peeled by rolling on the countertop. I'll try my palms instead.
I agree to start them in cold water, but once they start boiling remove them from the heat, cover them and set the timer for 15 minutes. They come out perfect without that green ring around the yolk.
I'm going to have to try the spoon trick.

Start them off in cold water. Bring to a boil. Then turn off and wait for them to cool. Then, pour out the water. Shake them around to get the shell cracked really well and run cold water over them until it covers them. They should peel beautifully. ( or you could just boil for ten minutes and turn off and then pour out hot water, etc. )
pinterest stays to add a little baking soda to the water. also use not-fresh eggs, that really seems to help
Fontaine (aka "mommy" and "Marine wife")
not fresh eggs
Oh yeah! That is key! The membrane breaks down a bit if the egg is a few days old and the peeling is infinitely easier. The eggs are not too old as long as they sink to the bottom of the pan of cold water. Starting with cold water is right. Adding salt or baking soda is also effective in helping to break down the membrane. The super fresh eggs should be saved for times when you need to crack them right into the pan or bowl, though.

If you figured out those equations,
give yourself a star!
If you're in something of a time pinch, my MIL swears that if you turn the eggs over one day in advance, they'll peel better. In other words, turn them so the fat end is down in the container, rather than the pointy end. I haven't tried it myself, but she swears by this method. She also claims it helps to center the yolk in the egg, so you don't end up with yolks so close to the side that there's not enough white to hold it together.

Upon completion I went to the Admin Login and was propted to update the DB. I clicked the button to "Upgrade WP Database Now" and it goes to another page with the address of:www.nameofsite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=1&backto= and on the page is the WP logo and WordPress. There is nothing else. What can be done to correct this issue? All plugins were deactivated prior to update as instructed.
