Going into an unofficial visit yesterday to Florida, Rivals100 athlete Jarred Fayson out of Tampa (Fla.) Hillsborough had no intention of committing. On his trip though, the 6-foot-0, 184-pounder with 4.32-second speed knew that Gainesville was the place to be and chose them over offers from Southern Cal, Miami, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma amongst others.
"As the game went on I knew it was the right place for me because I felt really good there," he said. "Jamar Hornsby put some pressure on me and I'm happy to have him as a friend. I'm excited to play with him next year. After the game I told the coaches including my recruiting coordinator Stan Drayton, Urban Meyer and others of my decision. One of the coaches was about to kill himself he was so happy that I committed and they just told me get ready to come in to work and contribute to the team."
Did anything else cause the four-star prospect to commit on the spot?

"Definitely the coaches were a big aspect of it," he said. "I also like how the program is headed in the right direction and just the whole demeanor there. If I didn't play football I would probably want to go to Florida anyway because of the tradition and the exposure you get in the job market. One other nice thing is that it's only an hour and a half away from my home too."
The coaches confirmed that Fayson will definitely see some playing time next season as a freshman at receiver and return specialist.
"I'm looking to get bigger, stronger and work out with some guys that have already played in college over the next year to help me get a level head going into the 2006 season," he said. "I feel I can bring leadership and a willingness to win when I get there."
The No. 4 athlete in the country is relieved to have the decision behind him.
"I'm definitely not second guessing my decision, it's a very strong commitment and a big weight off my shoulders," Fayson said. "I'm excited to head to Florida next year and I want to tell the fans it's going to be electric."

Valentine Anonymous
Welcome to Valentine Anonymous. The place where those that have failed to give memorable Valentine Day events face their failures and confess their transgressions.
Hi, my name is Adam. I am a Lousy Valentine. I met my friends at a local bar before going to pick up my girl for our big date. I had just got off work and picked up her gift. She would not be ready for a couple of hours yet so I decided to meet my friends at our usual place. Well…… Before I knew it I was too drunk to find my way home so I fell asleep in the back of my pickup. It wasn't until I awoke the next morning that I realized that I had missed the big night. I went to see her, but she slammed the door in my face and told me to never call her again. I am a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Zach. I am a Lousy Valentine. I bought chocolates for my girlfriend from her favorite specialty store. It was a box of 100 pieces and each one had her initials on them in pink frosting. When I got home I fell asleep in front of the TV. It wasn't until I felt the soda being poured on my head did I realize that I was late for our date. What was worse was the fact that Fido had his head in her box of chocolates. I am a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Michael. I am a Lousy Valentine. I took my girlfriend out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. The food was great. I had all her favorite dishes specially ordered. The service was wonderful and personalized. My girl just didn't think so. She is extremely allergic to nuts. I forgot and ordered two dishes for her with nuts. We spent the rest of the night in the ER. She says that I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Brian. I am a Lousy Valentine. I took my wife out to dinner at our favorite restaurant. It was the place of our very first date. We had the same dishes and sat at the same table. The date was going great. Until…… While we were there, I saw an old girlfriend walk in. I invited her to join us since she was alone and celebrating her divorce. We had a great time reminiscing about the good old days. I've slept on the couch ever since. I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Charles. I am a Lousy Valentine. I met the most wonderful girl. For six months I've tried to ask her out. When I finally got the nerve to, she said yes. I picked her up and she looked so hot in her tight black dress and spiked heels. I thought for sure this was going to be a wonderful night and the beginning of a great relationship. How was I to know four hours later that monster truck rallies were not her thing? I am a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Nathan. I am a Lousy Valentine. I began dating my girl just three months before the "big day". We always had fun together and were really going places. Until I forgot that today was February 14th. I honestly thought it was the 13th. Really! I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is George. I am a Lousy Valentine. I spend each Valentine's Day with my special girl. I enjoy sharing all aspects of my life with her. How was I to know that she would not want to watch me and the guys smash beer cans all night? I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Adrian. I am a Lousy Valentine. I took my wife out on our first date on Valentine's Day. It was great. Dinner and a movie. To remind us of that beautiful night, I take her to the same place and rent the same movie each time. It wasn't until this last year that she finally told me why she cried each year on this day. I thought it was from tears of joy. What do I know about women? Well, now I know. She hates McDonald's and Terminator. I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Amanda. I am a Lousy Valentine. I was told that I could make the plans for our very first Valentine's Day. I was so excited to plan it all. I got the tickets for the biggest event in town. It was our first and last date that he let me plan. The Cinderella ballet was not what he had envisioned as our date that night. I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Brad. I am a Lousy Valentine. I took my girl out on a gondola and had music played just for her. The night was beautiful with the stars overhead and the music floating around us. It ended rather abruptly when she opened the box of chocolates and found the Atkins Diet Book. She was always complaining about how fat she was so I decided to help her this year. I guess I'm a Lousy Valentine.
Hi, my name is Stephen. I am a Lousy Valentine. I was pouring the wine for our romantic dinner while my girl was changing. I turned and did not realize that she was right behind me in a stunning white dress. It did not remain white long as the red wine spilt all over the front of that dress. I'm a Lousy Valentine.
May your Valentine's Day not be full of the blessings above and instead be a beautiful time.
I'd like to think of myself as the type of person that is loving all year-round, but even more-so on Valentine's Day. And I'd hope to never become like one of those lousy valentines above!!!
By the way, aren't chocolates bad for dogs? I hope Fido was okay!!! :)
Great hub and thumbs up!!!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Valentine's Day is a wonderful day to share with your loved one, but I think sometimes people place too many expectations on this one day. The ladies above should not be overly upset with their boyfriend/husbands because mistakes happen, and what is important is how they are treated during the rest of the 364 days of the year. I dated a man once who made a big deal about Valentine's Day, but the rest of our relationship was pretty flat. I would rather have a guy who means well and is human than one perfect Valentine's Day.
If you think Valentine's Day is a bunch of pseudo romantic hogwash and would rather not celebrate it does that qualify you for membership in VA? Not me, of course ... I have this friend:-).
Hi RGraf, thanks for the laugh! It's good to laugh at the things that went wrong with life. Love and laughter? Now that is a good mix! To better valentine days! :)
Hahaha, I loved to read the valentine day gone bad as long as I'm not the person it's gone bad on! lol Thanks for the fun!
LOL This was a fun read. Love your sense of humor. It comes with a zing. Keep enjoying life:)
I feel sorry for those guys this hub was written about. Personally I can say that I am a great valentine. I tell my wife that all the time. :P
This was such a clever hub, gave me a chuckle. Some people do have bad form I guess. My husband is great so I'm lucky!
My best Valentines day was the year I was working as an IT consultant for a major greeting card company. The place was a mad house through February 15, I was getting as many hours as I needed and more the entire month of January and the first half of February ... while the world poured money into this artifically created holiday ... I pocketed as much as I could ... Mwahahahahaha
Of course, after all it was Valentine's Day :)
LOL I guess me too I am a lousy Valentine; I prepared a deliciously romantic/aphrodisiac seafood dinner for Valentine's Day and forgot that hubby is alergic to mussels. Lousy or plain badness because he forgot Valentine's Day? Guess we'll never know ;-)
Hi My name is Joe. I am a lousy Valentine. When I was in 2nd grade, my classmate Karen gave me one of those kids paper Valentine's Day cards that come 25 to a pack and wrote "I love you, Joe. Love, Karen. I crossed it out with a crayon, resigned it and gave it to Sue Ezpozito. I guess I'm a lousy Valentine.
I think a lousy valentine is fine by me, I'm lousy myself :C
Hi, RGraf-I might be rare, but I don't care that much about Valentine's Day! Life is like a box of chocolates! Anytime, lol...
thanks 4 reminding me of my failures on V-Day.
My wife has wonderful ways to hint to me, to make sure that I don't forget important dates. Hint Hint ladies.
LOL. Either you have an incredibly vivid imagination or have suffered more than your share of brutal VD dates. I liked the one where the woman made the plans (what a concept!) but still ended up being called a Lousy Valentine.
This sure did put me in the mood for Cupid! MM
Hi, my name is cupid. Any attempt is better than no attempt. Happy Valentines!
Have you been talking to Barbie?
~ eddie:)
lol i can relate to a couple of those!


text: If Split/Second: Velocity was a song, it would be "Boom Boom Pow". If it was a film, it would be a Fast and the Furious title. Shiny, fast-paced and (at least at first) shallow, its premise is that this is all a high-octane, violent vehicular reality show where obstacles and explosions are thrown in front of any competitor crazy enough to take part. It seems a bit high concept for an arcade racer but it works, letting the motoring madness run riot.

NeoGenomics Launches New Test for Detection of Mutations in Calreticulin Gene
NeoGenomics (NASDAQ: NEO) announced today that it has validated and launched a new test for the detection of mutations in the calreticulin (CALR) gene. The CALR gene is a novel biomarker that was reported to be specific for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) for the first time at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) last month. Since then, findings on the CALR gene have been published in the three articles referenced below.

Let's suppose that all the negative things that Donald Trump has said in the beginning of his campaign are true.
Let's also suppose that the things the little darlings in the media say about him continually are true.
On her best day, Hillary would be capable mentally and physically of accomplishing exactly what?
One need only look at her woeful list of accomplishments as the Jr. Senator from N.Y. to determine she is unfit for any manner of public service and should move along quickly to the U.N. , where she and "Slick" would likely be unable to obtain a security clearance to come within 150 yards of the building. (Source)
Giving her a break, we will also not mention here even more woeful period as Secretary of State where doing Obama's bidding she backed the wrong countries during the Arab Spring and of course the little CIA gun running operation known as "Benghazi," no we will give her a pass on that.
Hillary Clinton, with her far left progressive ideology has never created a job or built a thing, and no Mrs. Clinton, declaring the South Bronx Little League team league championship a "Shout-Out," is not an accomplishment.
Real Americans are not ready for the Twilight Zone or the Land of Oz where your addled brain and those of your followers have been for far to many years.
On the other hand our choice is Donald J. Trump, who needs no image, he has one.
Donald Trump is a job creator who has built buildings, hotels and golf courses employing thirty four thousands (Source) in the U.S. and abroad. (Source)
Clinton wants China-like 'centralized planning' to create jobs. (Source)
It's your choice, you decide, please remember to vote.
She should be facing a firing squad instead of running for President.

The centre FDP party is looking to attract disaffected members from both left and right who believe in the primacy of economic liberalismGermany's liberal centre FDP party recently created a new twist in the saga of expelled former SPD minister Wolfgang Clement by offering the disaffected socialist a new home.
In a similar move, FDP leader Guido Westerweile is set to meet CDU outcast and financial expert Friedrich Merz in what media commentators have described as "being bound together by economics."
Although the FDP has a broader political outlook with characteristically centre views on issues, its core is made up of those who see the world from a purely financial view, often seeing problems and solutions across the board as economic.
Merz is a long time campaigner for simplification of the welfare system and the removal of the tax burden, famously saying that German citizens should be able "to calculate their tax on the back of a beer mat."
It is said that Merz, despite being a well known and respected political figure, feels somewhat ostracized within his own party, where his views on economics and tax are not popular among the current leadership.
The parallels between Merz's case and the recent strife within the SPD surrounding Clement have not been lost on the press.
The tabloid Bild asked Thursday, "Is the CDU fighting its own case of Clement"? Whilst Merz is no longer a central figure in the CDU, his record would mean that any defection might cause embarrassment for Chancellor Angel Merkel's party.
In July Guido Westerweille told broadcaster ZDF that he admires Merz, saying: " I value Friedrich Merz as a very clever person. There are two few in the union [CDU] who don't want to follow the path towards a bureaucratic state economy"

With the whole world watching the match, there could be no better place to promote the shows on television and the actors. Star One will yet again leave no stone unturned in promoting its actors.
After Vivian Dsena and Sukirti Kandpal, the lead actors of Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani being part of the frenzy earlier, it is time for the adorable Jodi of Maan and Geet to cheer for the Men in Blue.
Yes, you heard it right!! Gurmeet Choudhary and Drashti Dhami will be there to grab some eye balls while they are busy watching the much-awaited match. The two are expected to leave for Mohali tomorrow to catch the action live!!
Our khabroo says, "Like Vivian and Sukirti, the channel is now sending Gurmeet and Drashti to watch the most important match of the World Cup. They are the most popular jodi on Star One today and it was only justified to get them noticed when the entire nation is busy watching the match. It's an intelligent move as your actors can get noticed during the match".
Drashti said, "It was the channel's idea for us to watch the match. I love Yuvraj Singh. It will be a nice treat to be out there and the atmosphere will be very refreshing".
Well, the entire nation is waiting for the Big day for sure, and Gurmeet and Drashti are definitely lucky to be part of the whole excitement.

These are just a series of drabbles about Danny/Martin. I was following the rules of a challenge on livejournal. I didn't follow the rules exactly verbatim, but close enough. And pretty well for me as I have a tendency to turn all of my short stories into something very long!
The rules were as follows:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Post them.
Cry Me a River – Justin Timberlake
Finding Danny in bed with some nameless girl was not the best moment of his life. Once Martin figured out that it had been going on for quite a while – months even – things got even worse.
When he asked for an explanation, Danny tried explaining, offering excuses…embarrassed almost as he admitted that he didn't quite believe that Martin would stick around or that it wasn't all that serious. So he'd had something on the side…a backup plan.
At first Martin thought he would have rather not known, and if he could somehow get the picture of Danny in bed with her out of his head, well then he might have been able to push it under the rug and forget about it. He wanted to forget about it. He so desperately just wanted to forget and wish that he could pretend it didn't happen. Especially when Danny seduced him into one more night together.
He woke up after that feeling worse…and still wanting to stay. But the phone rang about an hour later, while Danny was in the shower…and it was her.
Anger overrode his sorrow and heartache then, and he scribbled a note for the other man and grabbed as many things he could shove into a duffel bag, leaving before the water in the shower even shut off.
He would send for the rest of his stuff. He didn't want to go back.
Faithfully - Journey
Nights away and Danny couldn't sleep. Martin had been gone for weeks now…on some special assignment that kept him moving from city to city without much of a permanent stop. It was harder than either of them had anticipated it being. Before this assignment, they'd barely started a relationship that equaled more than friends. But it had already been more than any of Danny's relationships before that.
A few months and he was head over heels in love with Martin.
Now though, it was hard to reconcile that love with the fact that Martin was away. The days were long, but he took comfort in the fact that at night, no matter where Martin was or what he was doing, he called. They'd spend as much time as they could on the phone together at night. Sometimes only a few minutes, sometimes more. It didn't matter…it just somehow felt right when they talked. And even though they were far apart, they were still in love, still together.
Don't Change Your Plans For Me – Ben Folds Five
Danny couldn't leave New York. It was that simple. And that complicated. After the team broke up, they all got different assignments. Vivian ended up retiring, taking a consulting job on the side so she could keep her family in New York. Jack was allowed to stay in New York, but with a different
department. Sam left for Boston as she was assigned, and she seemed both happy and sad about it. Elena didn't seem to have any regrets in leaving New York for sunny California, but then again she'd been with them the least amount of time and had never seemed to fit in as well.
Martin was assigned to – not surprisingly – Washington DC. What did surprise Danny was that he agreed to move. Maybe he had finally reconciled his differences and problems with his family. Maybe he didn't mind being so close anymore now that he was a little older and a little wiser.
But Danny, having been assigned to Florida, just couldn't go. He resigned instead and decided to go back to law school. Take the BAR again and see if he could pass this time. More than anything he knew he'd miss them all, their closely knit nearly family sort of atmosphere. They worked better together than apart. But for better or for worse, it was over.
Way Back Into Love – from the movie Music & Lyrics
They were both happy for the most part. A little lonely but happy. They'd both had their share of broken hearts along the way…neither had been very good with relationships. But they'd managed to maintain their compassion and caring and not become too cynical.
They were both a little more cautious now, but both still hoped. Hoped for love, for someone to share life with and find a connection that was real. That lasted.
Neither had expected to find that connection, that love, with each other. It snuck up on them before either had a chance to resist; and before anyone really figured it out – especially themselves – they were no longer separately Martin and Danny. They were together. Martin and Danny. In love. Together.
Larger Than Life – Backstreet Boys
"Do you know the words?" Danny asked incredulously. He looked over at Martin in the car and saw him blush and shake his head, eyes fixed firmly on the road in front of them. "You do!" Danny said, laughing. "You know the words. To Larger than Life. By the Backstreet Boys."
"Well, you seem to know the title!" Martin shot back in a huff, his jaw set squarely as he bit down on his lower lip in embarrassment.
They were driving out to Nowhere, New Jersey to interview a witness who neither of them felt would give them any real information on the person they were looking for. The radio was on; neither of them had been talking to each other much. Martin had started singing along without even thinking, and unfortunately Danny had heard him.
Danny was nearly hysterical now, unable to control his laughter. "Do you have the CD too?" he asked, grinning when Martin flipped him the finger and kept driving.
"Which one was your favorite?" Danny continued teasing.
"Shut up Danny," he managed through clenched teeth, his cheeks hot.
Danny's laughter softened into giggles, and he leaned closer as they stopped at an empty intersection for the red light. He reached out and ran his fingers over Martin's knuckles, which were still clenched tightly on the steering wheel and pressed a quick kiss to the soft patch of skin just below his ear.
"It's okay baby…maybe later you can teach me the dance?"
I Stay In Love – Mariah Carey
Martin couldn't really remember why they broke up. If he asked, he was sure Danny would give him a plethora of reasons…none of which were the truth. Danny didn't know the truth anymore than Martin did, of that he was certain. Now they were stuck in this weird sort of limbo. Broken up, yet together. Because they still spent days and nights together and neither of them were seeing anyone new. If anyone asked, they weren't a couple anymore, but what they were now, neither of them could say.
Martin's heart was in a continual state of being broken, because he wanted Danny, he loved Danny. He wanted a relationship like they'd had before…more even. He wanted to spend his life with Danny, but even though they lingered in a relationship, there was this cloud hanging over them, this sense that none of it was real or right anymore. And it wasn't. Because Danny had decided that they weren't together anymore.
Except they were.
But Martin knew if he brought it up, he'd get nothing more than a tired sigh from Danny, a shake of his head and a sad, confused look in his eyes. And then Martin would reach for him, and they'd push words and titles and confusion aside, because it all vanished when they were in each other's arms. Easy. Simple. Except Martin wanted more…but he wasn't quite sure what to do to get it.
Crazy For You - Madonna
Danny had seen him walk in, shock streaking through him, followed closely by a hope he had refused to feel before that. The air was heavy, smoky and warm. When their eyes met, Danny waited for Martin to look away, to realize that he had been spotted and to leave. Except he didn't. He came closer, drawn to Danny by some sort of invisible rope.
They stood directly in front of each other, the noise of the bar fading around them as they looked into each other's eyes. Carefully, as if not to break the spell, Danny reached out and pulled him close, sighing when Martin returned his embrace.
So you do feel the same. Those were the words he had never expected to be true. But he felt them now, knew. He could feel it in Martin's light touch. He could feel him trembling, feel how nervous he was, but he saw determination and desire in those blue eyes, and it was so strong it took Danny's breath away.

Evolve Topanga Residential Treatment for Teens
Topanga, California
Personalized Recovery in a Healthy Atmosphere
At Evolve Topanga, teens live full-time on-site in a private estate at the edge of Topanga State Park in the picturesque Santa Monica Mountains. Our Topanga center feels like an intimate, well-lived in home and provides ample room for activities, reflection, and healing. Spectacular views greet our teenagers every morning, and amazing sunsets over the coastal hills make evenings a perfect time for contemplation and personal growth. We're minutes from countless hiking trails, the Topanga Nature Center, and popular recreational attractions like Eagle Ranch and Trippet Ranch, but our best feature is right here on the property: state-of-the-art horse stables, a corral, and a spacious riding area.
Our teenagers feel like they're in a personal, individualized recovery center designed to meet their specific therapeutic needs—because that's exactly where they are. Treatment can be hard work, but we know that in the right environment our teens can develop practical coping skills, learn about themselves, have fun, and build enriching new relationships. We encourage personal growth and lay the foundation for sustainable, lifelong recovery.
Custom Treatment Programs
Our teens receive solution-focused, data-driven, evidence based, results-oriented therapy. Everything we do is geared toward changing behavior and finding the right combination of therapy and support. Since no two teenagers are alike, no two treatment plans are alike. During the admissions process, we conduct a thorough assessment, establish a baseline, and create an Individual Recovery Plan based on specific needs and goals. Recovery Plans at Evolve Topanga include a combination of the following therapeutic modes:
Individual Therapy

Never have I been so confused about a product than the Kenxinda S-watch 2.0. I mean, from a first glance, you're probably assuming that it is a smartwatch. It has a wrist band, a clock face when not in use, what other proof do you need that this thing is a smartwatch? But then, you start using it, and the longer you mess with it, a dawning realisation comes to you slowly but surely: this thing isn't a watch, it's a mobile phone disguised as a watch.
Before we get more in depth into this deceptive device, let's talk about the entire look of the Kenxinda S-watch 2.0. Now, a rich, metrosexual friend once told me that watches are as much tools as they are accessories. If what he says were true, then the S-watch 2.0 is a fashion faux pas. I'm not going to mince words here, the 'watch' itself is not exactly visually appealing. It is stupidly huge and the rectangular screen makes the S-watch 2.0 to be as elegant as a toothpick.
Despite its gargantuan size though, the S-watch 2.0 is light. Usually, being light is a good thing, but for the S-watch 2.0's case, it is actually a negative. The lack of weight on the S-watch 2.0 makes the device feel cheap and brittle. In fact, I'm almost certain that if you have some amount of muscles on your arms, you could very likely crush this device if you grip it tight enough.
Remember how I said that the S-watch 2.0 is more mobile phone than watch? I wasn't kidding. The only feature that the S-watch 2.0 has that can be considered a 'smart watch' feature is the pedometer, which is of dubious quality I should say. Everything else apart from that though reminds me of the coloured screen Nokia phones of the early 2000s.
First off, the S-watch 2.0 doesn't run on Android. I don't really know what this watch operates on, but if the UI is anything to go with, it looks like something that was spun out of Symbian. Seeing as the OS of the S-watch 2.0 is custom made (as far as I know), this means that the phone does not contain an app store, and therefore, all the apps that came preinstalled with the watch is all you're ever going to get.
Secondly, the S-watch 2.0 comes with slots that you can insert a nano-SIM and a microSD card. A smart watch that can double as a phone isn't exactly a new thing. In fact, Samsung's original Gear S came with such a feature, so it really isn't all that surprising.
Apart from that, everything else is fairly standard as the watch comes with a contacts list, a music player, gallery viewer, and even a camera which we'll talk about later.
Using the Kenxinda S-watch 2.0 is like stepping through a time portal. I know I've made numerous comparisons to old mobile phones throughout the entire review for this thing, but really, there is no other way to describe the S-watch 2.0.
It's easier to list down what the S-watch 2.0 can't do when compared to other proper smartphones. For one, it is unable to connect to Wi-Fi networks. I've tried looking through the settings to figure out if there's a way to enable it, but all I found in the connectivity settings is GPRS, and WAP, both of which are terms that I haven't seen since my secondary school days.
Secondly, it cannot display notifications when connected to a smartphone. While the device does come with Bluetooth which allows you to connect your smartphone to the watch, you're only able to sync contacts or notes with each other.
Battery life is also unimpressive for this rudimentary 'watch', lasting for roughly two days before needing a recharge.
As for what the S-watch 2.0 can do…well…it can make phone calls as well as send SMS-es to other phones thanks to its SIM card slot. That said though, trying to type out an SMS using the phone itself is a pain thanks to the cramped up keyboard. If you're serious about using this as a phone, a Bluetooth headset is necessary since talking through the watch itself makes you look stupid, and the audio quality is pretty bad as well.
Another bizarre addition that the S-Watch 2.0 has is a camera. This is the first time I've seen a camera on smartwatch and so I was curious as to how it works. Turns out, it really isn't anything to talk about because, much like everything else about the watch, the camera is very, and I mean very, basic.
My first gripe about it is its placement. I initially thought that the camera was meant to take selfies thanks to its positioning. It is only when I started using it that I realise that this isn't the case. If you attempt to take a selfie with it, your image on the screen will be upside-down.
Using the camera properly is also awkward. Thanks to the positioning of the camera, aiming at something you want to shoot is a chore because accurately gauging where the camera is pointing is frustrating.
But if you can put up with the frustration of using the damn thing, you'll find out that the quality of the images taken are poor.

I love the Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten). Her show - Back to Basics - no longer airs on Food Network Canada. I haven't seen new episodes in months, and nothing is in the schedule.
I'd pay for it on iTunes - but it isn't available for Canadian customers. No DVDs to buy. Nothing on YouTube. What is Canadian fan of Ina's to do?

Cutwork adds an interesting texture to these Lopez collection decor accents. And with a dazzling burst of color, these items will command attention as conversation pieces. On your mantel, nestled in a corner, out in the open -- these stylish silhouettes go great anywhere.
My favorite room in any house is usually the dining room since it's the most elegant. And it's decorative accents like these vases and plates that contribute to that elegant. I think these pieces are just stunning.

A trio of local ballot measures facing Calaveras County voters were faring well in Tuesday night's unofficial results.
Needing two-thirds of the vote for approval, a countywide measure to maintain a $1 vehicle licensing fee to remove nuisance junk vehicles, a renewal of spending approvals for Copperopolis fire and paramedic services and an increase in parcel fees to improve roads in the Circle XX subdivision were each polling better than 70 percent.
The future of the county's Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program, which brings in about $60,000 annually to the county's Code Enforcement Office for removal of abandoned vehicles in public rights-of-way, other public lands and also private property, hinged on the Measure B vote.
Approved by a 1992 Board of Supervisors resolution, it had to go to a vote following passage of the statewide Proposition 26 in 2010.
An estimated 7,000 vehicles have been abated through the program.
"It's been a very successful program and continues to be successful," Code Enforcement Officer Todd Barr said. "We've made quite an impact."
It led with 12,385 "yes" votes (70.9 percent) to 5,078 (29.1 percent) against at the end of Tuesday's counts.
Measure C asked Copperopolis Fire Protection District voters whether or not to spend up to $550,000 collected from parcel taxes to support fire and paramedic services.
The district relied on an effort to inform voters that the measure did not constitute a new fee but a renewal of previous approval of a vital service.
"Measure C is not a new tax or a tax increase. By approving Measure C, your taxes will not be increased in any way, but the Copperopolis Fire Protection District will be allowed to spend the taxes that have already been approved and collected," Copperopolis Fire Chief Steve Kovacs said in a prepared statement. "If Measure C is not passed … this may mean the loss of the paramedic services and the potential loss of firefighter positions. As a result, residents might have to wait for up to 30 minutes for a paramedic response.
The measure was passing Tuesday with 1,426 votes in favor (76.1 percent) and 447 "no" votes (23.9 percent).
Measure D seeks to increase an annual parcel fee from $300 to $400 to continue maintaining and improving roads in the small Circle XX Community Services District off Pool Station Road.
All funds raised will go directly to private contractors to fix roads as the district has an all-volunteer board and no paid staff, district board member Debbie Caldwell said.
"Oil has gone up," she said. "The price of fixing the road has gone up."
Measure D showed strong support Tuesday night with 83 "yes" votes (78.3 percent) and 23 "votes" (21.7 percent).

Pujols hits 509th homer, Angels sweep DH from White Sox
Mike Trout hit a three-run homer, Albert Pujols followed with No. 509 of his career and Garrett Richards allowed two hits in eight innings to lead the Los Angeles Angels past the Chicago White Sox 8-4 Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader sweep.
In the nightcap, Kole Calhoun homered and scored twice as the Angels held on for a 7-5 victory to move within 3½ games of first-place Oakland in the AL West.
"I think our guys on the offensive side have proven that they're going to pressure teams and get us runs," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Our challenge is going to be able to hold leads and we were able to do it today in two games."
In the opener, Richards (9-2) gave up an early three-run homer to the major-league leader Jose Abreu and then dominated the rest of the way.
"I think I was the same pitcher from beginning to end," Richards said. "I wasn't going to let three runs in the first ruin my day. I think that's a maturing process that I've gone through as a pitcher and I'm happy with the direction I'm moving in."
Trout hit a three-run homer, Pujols followed with No. 509 of his career and Josh Hamilton also went deep for Los Angeles, his first since June 3.
Trout's shot off starter Hector Noesi (2-6) evened the score at 3 in the fifth. Pujols put the Angels ahead with his 17th of the season, tying Gary Sheffield for 24th place on the career chart.
Richards improved to 5-0 since May 30.
"(Richards) was great," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said as Chicago had its three-game winning streak snapped. "We got him early when Jose (homered) in the first inning, but after that, we didn't get many good swings against him. He had good stuff. That's the part that stings — we actually got three runs off the guy on only two hits, but we couldn't make them hold up."
Angels newcomer Rich Hill loaded the bases with none out in the ninth, but the White Sox scored only once as Joe Smith earned his eighth save.
Richards struck out nine, walked two and matched his longest outing of the season. He went 4-0 in June with a franchise-record 1.05 ERA.
"He's been good all year," Scioscia said. "He's had really one tough start at Oakland where he didn't get out of the first inning. Outside of that, I think you're seeing power stuff. He's getting into the zone with good movement."
Noesi didn't allow a hit until the fifth, when Chris Cowgill beat out an infield single. Trout went deep on a 2-2 pitch with one out, scoring Chris Iannetta and Cowgill to tie it 3-all.
Pujols followed with a drive to center field.
Noesi was pulled with none out in the sixth and charged with five earned runs and three hits. He walked seven and struck out seven.
Ronald Belisario gave up an RBI single to Iannetta that scored Howie Kendrick for a 5-3 Angels lead. Hamilton's solo shot to center made it 6-3 with two outs in the seventh.
Iannetta's RBI single with one out in the eighth scored pinch-runner John McDonald. Pujols scored in the ninth on a fielder's choice to make it 8-3.
There was a 30-minute break between games of the single-admission doubleheader, quickly arranged following Monday's rainout.
In the nightcap, Jered Weaver (9-6) worked 5 2/3 innings for the win, allowing nine hits while striking out six. Chicago starter Scott Carroll (2-5) took the loss after pitching six-plus innings and giving up seven runs and 10 hits.
The Angels manufactured three second-inning runs on four consecutive singles and a fielder's choice, including RBI credited to Kendrick, C.J. Cron and Grant Green.
The White Sox got two back with Conor Gillaspie's first home run of the season, a two-run shot that drove in Alexei Ramirez with no outs.
In the fifth, Calhoun stroked Carroll's 1-0 pitch into the right-field bullpen, scoring Green for a 5-2 lead. Kendrick scored on Hank Conger's sixth-inning single for a 6-2 lead.
The White Sox added three runs in the sixth as Gillaspie's RBI single scored Ramirez, while Dayan Viciedo's homer with one out brought home Gillaspie, cutting the deficit to 6-5.
In the seventh, Carroll left with two runners on and no outs. White Sox reliever Jake Petricka walked two batters, forcing in Calhoun for a 7-5 Angels lead.
"We kept putting the pressure on," said Angels closer Smith, who earned saves in both games. "After you win that first game of a doubleheader, it's really hard to win two. … (But) you put those runs right up on them early, that was huge for us."
Ventura said left-hander Chris Sale (7-1, 2.30 ERA) is a worthy All-Star candidate despite spending a month on the disabled list. "You're looking at a guy at the top of his game," Ventura said. "His numbers prove it." … Abreu became the first player in MLB history with 26 home runs in his first 70 games. He also extended his hitting streak to 16 games, matching Ross Gload's record 16-game run in 2004. … Pujols was in the lineup despite a swollen lymph gland near his right groin. "It shouldn't be anything that's going to impact what he needs to do," Scioscia said. … The Angels acquired Hill from Boston for cash earlier in the day. The left-hander had a 3.23 ERA in 25 relief appearances for Triple-A Pawtucket.

Culture as a Vocation. Sociology of career choices in cultural management
Author: Vincent Dubois
Description: Vocational occupations are attractive not so much for their material rewards as for the prestige and self-fulfillment they confer. They require a strong personal commitment, which can be subjectively experienced in terms of passion and selflessness. The choice of a career in the cultural sector provides a good example of this. What are the terms of this calling? What predisposes individuals to answer it? What are the meanings of such a choice? To answer these questions, this book focuses on would-be cultural managers. By identifying their social patterns, by revealing the resources, expectations and visions of the world they invest in their choice, it sheds new light on these occupations. In these intermediary and indeterminate social positions, family heritages intersect with educational strategies, aspirations of upward mobility with tactics against downward mobility, and social critique with adjustment strategies. Ultimately the study of career choices in cultural management suggests a new take on the analysis of social reproduction and on the embodiment of the new spirit of capitalism. The empirical findings of this research conducted in France are set in a broader comparative perspective, at the European level and with the USA.

Parent Communication Toolbox
Home-to-school communications – what's in your toolbox? What are you missing? Who are you missing? What could you add to improve your home-to-school communications and, in turn, strengthen relations and increase support?
Each school community is unique, with unique resources and needs. Not only is each school unique, but often, so is each year. With needs and available resources constantly changing, so must we. It's important that we reevaluate our needs and goals each year.
There are many options out there. The best tool is face-to-face. This is not about replacing that time-tested communication model. Unfortunately, for many reasons, face-to-face is not always possible, so we need to supplement and offer alternatives. What can you offer to maintain open lines of communication with everyone, regardless of their ability to speak in person?
Defining the Conversation
Before filling your toolbox, assess your needs, resources, and goals. Here are some questions to get you started:
What tools does your community have access to?
Do not assume this answer. Ask the question. Put out a short poll at the start of the year, such as during your open house or at Back to School Night. Income no longer dictates families' ability to access the Internet. More and more, with smartphones, tablets, and inexpensive laptops, people have some sort of access. A survey that Joe Mazza created for our school simply asked:
- My child is in __ grade.
- My child has regular access to a computer at home with Internet access to support academics. Yes - No
- I have access to email. Yes - No (If you answered no, please provide your name and your child's, and we will provide hard copies of communications.)
- I mostly access the Internet for school communications on my:
- Home computer
- Work computer
- Mobile device
- Other (please specify) _______
What is the purpose of the tool?
Do you want to engage parents in conversations? Or simply share information out?
How often will the information change?
For frequent changes, you don't want a tool that is cumbersome for editing content.
How is the information being received?
On a computer, cell phone, tablet? Check for compatibility.
Now to choose your tools . . .
One-Way Tools
- Remind (formerly Remind 101): A one-way group texting service that doesn't require sharing phone numbers.
- Mobile App: This tool provides access to information at the touch of a button. Read more on building a school app here.
- Pinterest: A virtual bulletin board for sharing articles, pictures, and links to videos or websites. Here's an example of a middle school modeling its use.
- eNewsletters: They can be read any time, anywhere. Consider these approaches:
- Smore creates electronic flyers that let you insert pictures, videos, maps, links, surveys, and more. Flyers are easily shared through email or social media at the click of a button. The analytics provide you with the number of views, source of traffic, location of readers, links clicked, etc. Here's how one elementary school uses Smore.
- FlipSnack is an e-magazine format. As this school eNewsletter shows, it's as easy as uploading a PDF to a website.
- Photo hosting sites: Sites like Picasa or Phanfare are not communication tools per se, but pictures can tell a story, show learning, and start a dialogue.
- QR codes: Quick Response codes offer many possibilities for use in the classroom and with parents. Here's a great post on ways to use QR codes at back to school night.
Two-Way Tools
- Blogs: Staff can write them, but so can students of all ages. What better way for parents to see the learning through the students' eyes and contribute to the conversation? Read these tips to start blogging with students.
- Google Drive: This tool simplifies collaborating on a document. All individuals given access to the document can view, edit and/or comment -- live. This is how we create our school newsletter content with parents and staff. We also use it for our daily announcements. Our docs are created in, read from, and then shared with parents.
- Social media: This popular format enables you to share out the learning and good "stuff" that students and staff are doing; engage those outside of the school walls in conversations that are happening inside them; and spark conversations at home about learning. Parents can reference a specific lesson, not simply ask, "What did you learn in school today?"
- Facebook is used by many parents, so you're going to where they often already are. You have the option to use it for an open group (like this middle school) or a closed group.
- Twitter is another site that lets you easily share the learning that happens throughout the day, on field trips and at events or assemblies. Our school Twitter account is linked to our Facebook page, and the feed is placed on our website homepage (everyone can see our tweets even if they don't have Twitter). Schools can extend the conversation and host their own Twitterchat, like #TMSHawkChat. With not as many parents using Twitter, you may need to offer a training session or how-to guide that will encourage use and maximize conversations.
- Live streaming: Parents can watch and participate in presentations with a class, read to students, watch assemblies, and participate virtually in PTO meetings using sites like Google+, Skype, AnyMeeting, and GoToMeeting. We even had a grandparent Skype in for Grandparents' Day.
- Voxer: This push-to-talk messaging app allows for individual or group conversations, and sharing pictures and text messages -- without ever sharing phone numbers. This video demonstrates its use.
In the end, don't forget to spread the word and offer training on how to use the tools (for staff, parents, and students). Tools are useless if no one is using them.

Another great tool to have in your communication tool box is Ving.
Ving allows you to send video, text, audio, images, documents, and even surveys in a message to parents, teachers, students, and even administrations. Ving lets you have that face to face time with people while sitting in your classroom or at home.
You can also track when recipients have opened your message so you know which part of your message was most affective! Check it out today! It is a wonderful program you won't regret giving a try, and your first month is FREE !
We advocate using classroom blogs (http://www.eschoolview.com/UseaClassroomBlogtoEngageParents.aspx) and social media tools (http://www.eschoolview.com/SchoolsuseSocialMediatoEngageParents.aspx) as forms of real-time communication. Parents love to see their children at work. How often do we talk about how children are different at school than they are at home? We are fortunate to be part of an era where so many tools are available to us that offer the chance to connect the two!
As for training ... use the selected tool to post How Tos: have the class write a blog about how to blog; use Pinterest to pin step-by-step social media infographics, etc; share a directional video on vimeo or YouTube.
As Gwen states at the beginning ... take a pulse of what folks are using; listen to what tools your colleagues have found to be effective; understand the medium (one of my children's teachers used twitter for random homework assignments, offering posts 1-3 times a week where the fast-paced world of twitter gobbled those up); and use an age-appropriate tool if you want students to be involved. Lastly -- and most importantly -- figure out what works best for you and to what you are most apt to commit (you have to feed the machine).
Oh, and have FUN!!!
Michelle - I think blogging is a WONDERFUL tool, and what better way for parents to learn about what is happening in school than to see the learning through the students lens.
Although I agree that using the tool to share best/suggested uses is great, I think that it might not be the best way to train beginners to use. If you don't know how to set up/get started blogging, pinning, tweeting and such - then it may be difficult to access the training.
And...yes, completely agree, finding tools that you can commit to and have fun with, is what will keep it living on .
I realized (as he tweeted out a link to the 1st one of this school year) that I missed a fun tool that @tonysinanis uses so very well with his school...video. He sends out the most wonderful weekly videos that feature the students and share the great stuff happening in his school. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HEKhiXZ8fI&feature=youtu.be
Hello Gwen
I really liked this article when I first read it back in August of 2014. The part about blogs really got me thinking. But it wasn't until a few weeks ago, that I actually did something with that thinking.
What I did was to create a blog where I write and the students write.
The blog is entitled Mock US Supreme Court Hearing and for this blog, I start off by providing the students with a fictional news story of a ten year old Sikh boy who was suspended from school for having brought a kirpan onto campus in violation of the school's no metal bladed kirpan rule.
I then tell the students that not only are we going to simulate a supreme court hearing on this issue, but that I want them to blog in re any one or more of the following suggestions.
1. Their thoughts as to how this case should be decided.
2. What their parents, friends, other family members, neighbors, etc have to say about this case
3. Any great digital still shots they have taken of themselves getting ready for this case
4. Any video clips they have taken of themselves getting ready for this case
5. What they will say (if assigned to the role of attorney for petitioner/respondent.
6. Any great articles they have found on line (and or pics/video clips) that somehow relate to this case.
So far, though only two weeks in, the blog has been a huge success. Somehow I have the feeling that much more is still to come.
Today, two of the kids asked me if I would make them administrators so that they could help "edit" some of the posts. To convince me that I should allow them to do this, they said they would not only encourage more students to write, but they would get me a recommendation from their english teachers.
Histerical, uh? But all good.
The arguments won me over and now I have a small team of "blog editors."
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings
The blog can be found at http://mockussc2016.blogspot.com
Thank you so much for having inspired me.
Oh my, Peter...You are truly a gem of a teacher! I am always in awe of what you do with your students...this included. Teachers like you are proof, learning can be fun. As a parent, I'd take reading these posts over reviewing my child's unit test any day. Love seeing the learning (& perspectives) through a child's eye. These posts so far are incredible and I can't wait to read the others. The fact that you now have a small team of editors (that campaigned for the opportunity)...icing on the cake! Thank you for always sharing!

Dear Gwen, thenk you for wonderful suggestions and ideas- I used facebook so far , but it was not good enough
Hi Gwen.
Given that you mentioned "blogging" in this article, I thought you might like to see an article written by Alice Chen that KQED just posted to its In the Classroom website. It's entitled How to Inspire a New Generation of Writers Through Blogging. http://ww2.kqed.org/education/category/trainings/online-trainings/in-the...

ExperienceI have 21+ years of experience as a teacher and tutor.
I am a retired high school English teacher, but tutoring provides a different kind of satisfaction. Being able to work one-on-one with a student enables often rapid growth in a student's confidence and skill set.
In many ways, academic growth is like learning to ride a bike. I will show you how to ride, then let you go with training wheels, and soon you'll be riding all over the place. I will never put you in the basket and drive you around.
My rate is $40 an hour in person or $35 an hour online.
Hobbies-I love nature, dogs, books, travel, and movies.
-I am a good cook and a terrible gardener, though I still enjoy trying.
-Huge fan of the Oxford comma, which doesn't matter to anyone but grammar nerds and journalists.
-One Christmas I bought myself a Playstation 3 so I could understand what the kids were so charmed by. I have a theory that video games are the new narrative medium for the 21st century and am still not sure how I feel about that. However, I am not good at the video games, so mostly just use it to stream Netflix.

One of three men charged in the beating of a gay actor in West Hollywood last month claims the assault was not motivated by the victim's sexual orientation. In a jailhouse interview, 19-year-old Torwin Sessions said the attack, which left actor Trev Broudy critically injured, was not planned and that he didn't know Broudy is gay. "We were out joyriding, looking for girls on Sunset Strip," Sessions told the Los Angeles Times in the interview, published Saturday. "It was so crowded that we just took that other street, and I slowed down to yield for traffic. Then everything happened."
Prosecutors say they believe Sessions wielded the baseball bat used in the attack. But Sessions said he was driving a stolen car through West Hollywood on September 2, when his two companions suddenly jumped out of the vehicle with the bat. "I heard the car doors slam, then I saw the dude fall down," he said. "The two guys I was with got back in the car and just said, 'Go!' Everybody in the car was just hysterical and panicking." Sessions said he was unaware of Broudy's sexual orientation. "That's not why everything happened," he said, without elaborating. Sessions, Larry Walker, 29, and Vincent Dotson, 18, pleaded innocent to attempted robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Hours after the attack on Broudy, another West Hollywood man was assaulted in a similar fashion. Then on September 22, a 55-year-old gay man was also attacked. Detectives are investigating a possible connection. A decision by prosecutors not to file hate-crime charges in the attack on Broudy prompted protests by more than 500 people in West Hollywood on Friday night.

Anne Arundel County police chief writes letter to addicts to help solve drug abuse epidemic
WASHINGTON - There is a plea from the Anne Arundel County Police Department asking for the public's help to battle the heroin and opioid abuse in the county.
The number of fatal overdoses in the county has more than tripled from last year and there are still three and a half months left in the year.
A letter has been sent out by Anne Arundel County Police Chief Timothy Altomare about a county-wide initiative telling people if they are addicted to heroin, pain pills or other drugs, police want them to reach out for help.
The county executive and police chief are sending it to every person in the county who has been arrested and is suspected of being addicted to heroin or other drugs.
The letter says:
"Anne Arundel County and the County Police want to help if you are addicted to heroin, pain pills or other drugs. Heroin and opioid abuse has reached epidemic levels. Overdoses have increased drastically, and many of our neighbors are dying as a result. The Anne Arundel County Police Department is concerned about people suffering from drug abuse and addiction.
"Our officers are routinely involved in responding to overdose calls or responding to crimes committed by those who are addicted. We respond to all overdose calls with the Fire Department, we are responsible for notifying next of kin when someone dies from an overdose. We have had to look too many mothers in the eye and tell them their child is gone! Many times, we have no choice but to arrest an addict who has committed a crime trying to feed his or her habit. The Police Department cannot solve this problem though.
"We understand that addiction can be overwhelming and many people suffering from addiction feel that they have no place to turn. Asking for help is the first important step in solving a drug abuse or addiction problem. It takes a lot of courage to seek help. If you are suffering from a drug abuse or addiction problem, please be courageous and ask for help. Drug treatment can work. People recover from addiction every day. WE BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT BUT WE CAN'T DO IT FOR YOU.
"The Anne Arundel County 'Community Warmline' is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist a person suffering from drug abuse and addiction. Please call 410-768-5522 to seek assistance in finding treatment. Help us help you by making the call. You won't believe how much better a clean life is!"
Police said they are willing to do whatever it takes to beat the heroin epidemic, so they are approaching it with an open mind and are thinking outside the box. They want people to know that they are there to help.
The Anne Arundel Police Department is not the only police department taking action to try to do something about this epidemic. You may have seen those shocking photos released by the East Liverpool Police Department in Ohio of two adults who they said overdosed on heroin with a 4-year-old child in the back seat of a car.
When posting the photos on Facebook, police explained they knew it would upset some people, but said in part:
"We feel it necessary to show the other side of this horrible drug. We feel we need to be a voice for the children caught up in this horrible mess. This child can't speak for himself but we are hopeful his story can convince another user to think twice about injecting this poison while having a child in their custody.
"We are well aware that some may be offended by these images and for that we are truly sorry, but it is time that the non drug using public sees what we are now dealing with on a daily basis. The poison known as heroin has taken a strong grip on many communities not just ours, the difference is we are willing to fight this problem until it's gone and if that means we offend a few people along the way we are prepared to deal with that."
The drug epidemic is so out of hand across the nation. It is not just police and government trying to figure out what to do, but the National Association of Broadcasters will host a conference on Tuesday to announce broadcasters' commitment to addressing crisis ravaging so many communities.

Ball ours up and let it dry and it would kill you if you got hit in the head with it.
So would some of mine. Might as well mold cannon balls out of it.
I envy you guys that have the creme of the crop at your disposal. You would think that a Agricultural arena would have much better. I have two Universities.......one at 10 minutes disposal and one 5 hours away.........both use the lab in Cabot Arkansas. The results is real extensive and does not convey OM. Like I said earlier.......most if not all results tell you the same darn thing to do..............triple 13 and lime. WTH!!!
I get those kind of recommendations from the University as well. So they do not do my soil testing.
We know given time rock hard lava becomes soil
The soil actually becomes red clay usable to make pottery.
If you can not grow plant in
a pot then you need more mircle grow
or more compost.
Bingo. Take advantage of the drought and cracked soil to get some organic matter into the profile.
Learn how to interpret the soil test and you don't need generic recommendations.

I have files in these formats which I want to edit.
I am currently using two editors which are very nice for ease of use and features :
Virtualdub for .avi files
MpegVideoWizard for .mpeg files.
Please suggest some simple to use apps like the above.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Results 1 to 13 of 13
Also, please suggest some faster apps.
(For example, I installed WinFF in the hope to convert .wmv into avi, for onward editing in my VirtualDub. However, for a 1 hour, 1.25 GB, wmv file, it took 20 minutes to convert to avi. I would prefer something faster).
If your hardware profile listed is correct, you're probably hardware limited (that's the bottleneck when converting). Try upgrading your hardware
Or use programs which don't require conversion first before editing
Last edited by seymoria; 1st Feb 2014 at 17:07.
VDub page here. However, it says 'no audio decompressor was be found to decompress the source audio format'.
For WMV files, I installed the plugin Windows Media (ASF / WMV / WMA) (by fcchandler). It doesnt work and message says 'Missing Codec'.
For MP4 files, I installed the Plugin QuickTime / MPEG-4 / 3GPP (MOV MP4 M4V M4A QT 3GP 3G2) (by fccHandler). Returns same message as 'No audio decompressor found'...
Please advise further. Thank you.
avidemux will open all those formats natively
for vdub you need to install ffdshow for decoders , and enable the appropriate ones in the configuration. For AAC, there is AACACM
ffinputdriver will open almost anything in vdub
Thanks. Installed avidemux.
Can you guide how to perform following 2 basic functions :
1) Marking in and out points for cutting out a portion (and multiple portions in a session).
2) Saving the edited file in (loss-less) parent resolution (like the Direct Stream copy option in Virtualdub).
(There seems to be no help files in it).
For wmv, use asfbin for "direct stream copy" . Neither vdub or avidemux can export wmv in stream copy fashion in asf or wmv format (vdub can sort of do it as wmv in AVI container)
BTW, avidemux doesn't have to be "installed" . There is a portable version available as well
For mkv, mp4, or avi, you can use avidemux for "direct stream copy" . Similar to vdub, you can only cut on keyframes (ie. not frame accurate). But for xvid (same as vdub), there is smart rendering which means it is frame accurate because a few frames are re-encoded around the cutsite.
To navigate by keyframes use the "<<" ">>" buttons in the GUI at the bottom. Use the "A" "B" buttons on the bottom of the GUI to "mark in" , "mark out"
On the sidebar:
video output=> copy
audio output=> copy
output format => whatever was the original e.g. select "mkv muxer" if your original was mkv
ctrl+s to save, enter filename with extension e.g. "myvideo.mkv"
I have also installed asfbin because the Avidemux was not editing wmv files correctly (no sound).
I plan to use Avidemux for all my files (mkv, mpeg, mp4) and use asfbin for wmv files.
I successfully edited a wmv with asfbin but have noted something to share with you. As you mentioned, asfbin saves an edited wmv directly from its parent stream (direct stream copy). However, the original file was 1 hour duration and 1.25 GB size. While the saved file was 40 mins duration and only 440 MB size. This size is not coherent with the duration. Do you think it saved it as direct stream from the parent file?
Your observations are possible because your wmv might be variable bitrate (some sections might have higher bitrates than others) , and/or variable frame rate (some sections might only be represented by low frame rates, thus probably lower bitrates)
Filesize = Avg Bitrate * Running Time
If you aren't convinced just do some frame by frame comparisons, or psnr/ssim tests on equivalent frames
The other possiblity is something went wrong with the stream copy. So check & make sure nothing is corrupted
Last edited by poisondeathray; 1st Feb 2014 at 20:11.
I checked and the file plays back OK. However its not a problem as both files look similar in resolution to me, other than the size. I am perfectly OK with it.
The big thing is that I learnt to use two great editors today. Avidemux and Asfbin.
Avidemux looks better than VirtualDub because VDub really bothered me today with some non-accurate frame editing which AVDMux did perfectly OK. So, I would be trashing my VDub from now on as it seems redundant.
