Ratings and Reviews
Not for pros! Just home users.
Being in the industry for 30 years I have worked with many software editing programs. Apple iMovie throws in a lot of fun gadgets but does not have the most simplest functions for an editing option platform to enable you to produce a professional looking product. Their old software that they discontinued 5 years ago was much more intuitive.
For example, stripping Audio from your video, do overlays, both video and audio. Taking music and placing it where you want to place it, when you want to place it and being able to manipulate the audio under and over scenes. This limits your ability to do multiple angles and cutaways during your production/video. When you try this it takes the audio with the video and throws everything out of sync. The ability to do insert and overlay edits. Put these features in and I will give it a 4. Make the editing platform easier to use ( just follow your old program you discontinued) and it will get a 5. The trailers are fun but strictly for titles and stills. Try to splice in live video and you have a nightmare of problems. Lastly you give the ability to compress the finished project to fit into most presentation software programs.
Good, but some suggestions
I think the app is great! I use it to edit my videos and make them look professional. There are a few things I think Apple Should do though. First of all, I think they should add an option to actually move the text wherever you want, not just where the set locations are. I also think they should make an option to choose the color of your text. This would be very helpful! Lastly, I think that we should be able to add a picture over a video (overlapping). I think that adding these features would bring the app to 5 stars by me, and I'm sure it'll bring much more happier customers in the future.
Something else to note, which really frustrates me, is the fact that when you have missing photos or videos in your project, it doesn't let you save it! I've worked so hard on this one project and because I have 1 picture missing from my camera roll, I can't play it back or share it!
Also, I do not like how you cannot move audio to the exact spot where you want it- songs you have in your library have to start from the beginning of the movie, not when you want it to
Please fix this!!
Overall great, but some suggestions as well
I really love this app! It's very simple to use and can be used to make some very nice videos. The way you can make trailers is super cool too! It basically makes it for you and it comes out looking very professional! However there are some things that I really wish would change. First of all the text, I wish you could move it wherever you think its looks best, not just the center or bottom left or right corner and be able to choose a color for it. Another thing is the fact that you can't do the slow zoom effect which is gaining much fame amongst YouTubers. I also wish that you could do some more effects like wavy effects or distortions if that makes sense. I know that you can do some of these on IMovie on Macs but that leads me to the last thing, I wish there were just overall more of the things you can do on Macs available for iPhones because let's face it, most people with IMovie have iPhones. But with just a couple changes it could be sooo much better!! I hope you take this into consideration 😊

This is the type of strip quilt I want to make. It calls for 37 strips of colored strips, and 37 strips of neutral strips. I have 48 colored strips, which leaves me with almost enough for the binding. I will either use some of the neutral strips into the binding, or supplement it with something else.
Anyway, I am going to put this together as a quilt as you go.

Last night I made a comment on Twitter that metadata is digital black gold. It was in relation to comments around spying and privacy issues. It was a bit of a throw away comment but at the same time a serious one.
Funnily enough once I had turned in for the night I couldn't get that image of digital black gold out of my head. It rolled and rolled around looking for context and meaning. This is me getting that down the morning after looking for that point I wanted to make.
Gold is a precious commodity. Mostly it's not useful, just used as a measure of wealth. That may be a use but it's an abstract one. Oil, when we (as in humanity), realised how useful it could be was described as black gold. Finding oil made you wealthy and it was dug out of the ground. As a commodity it is more useful than gold. Indeed the application of oil based technologies have revolutionised the world and led to a number of conflicts.
Slowly I think many people are coming to realise that metadata is a digital black gold. As a commodity it is becoming more and more precious, and its application is starting to revolutionise this digital age. The big difference is that everybody creates it, intentionally and unintentionally. You don't dig metadata out of the ground. Although some folks like to go metadata mining.
As a librarian committed to open access, I create metadata. I let it out into the world free. How does this creation tie into metadata being digital black gold? I'm creating digital oil to lubricate the internet and giving it away free. Mostly it's not going to be valuable as a commodity except in the research process.
But there is a class of metadata that we can create that others will want to commercialise. This is around personal information. This is the metadata we create when we post online, the metadata we create when we make a phone call, the metadata we create when we log into a site. This is the real digital black oil. And now we are starting to see just how valuable that metadata is and the lengths some folks will take to capture it.
As a society we need to be careful about how we handle that metadata. How right were those futurists who feared us being reduced to a number? And how wrong – we aren't one number, no we are a complex set of metadata points cross referenced across the database of the world.

I also revisited the two owls in the fenced off area. These owls were crouched in or near their burrows
As I was driving back to work I noticed a Great Blue Heron perched peacefully on one leg in a marshland beside the road so I quickly pulled over for a photo.
If you do go to Cesar Chavez to check out the owls please be mindful and respectful. Refrain from pointing at the owls as this can draw the attention of predators putting the owls at risk. If you are walking a dog please keep it on a short leash. If you happen to see dog owners with unleashed pets, don't be shy, tell them about why it is important to leash their dog.
Just as I got in my car and pulled away I noticed a Hawk perched on a light post above me. I was able to capture the following photo out the window of my car.
It is great to see nature start to reclaim and reform the land as the whole shoreline is essentially landfill.

I'm a little late posting today because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my Wednesday posts...until now. I have just recently committed to doing a 5K. My first 5K. It is is October, so I have plenty of time to get ready. And I'm not going to lie. I have no "follow through" with working out. Especially when it comes to running because I am not a runner. I have never felt like I could run.
You see, my hunky husband is seriously athletic and in shape. He's constantly working out or doing marathons or things like the Warrior Dash. {Hes in the orange)
There are a few ladies in my church that are running the half marathon, so I decided I would at least get a start and do a 5K. And I'm pretty excited about it. Not only will they help keep me motivated, but I figured it couldn't hurt if I would be held accountable to updates for my blog as well.
Every week I will post a Work it out Wednesday where I tell you how I am doing with my training. How many miles I have ran/walked, and if I am noticing a change in my body. To start us off, here is a picture of me from this morning before my first workout. Don't judge, and be nice, please. I would tell you how much I weigh...but I don't tell my husband {is that crazy?} and I'm not sure if he checks the blog or not. haha So you don't get to know. But I will tell you if I have lost any each week.
Alright, here we go!

Shoplifter said he steals" for something to do " www.privateofficer.com
Akron Oh. Oct. 23, 2007
Loss prevention officers at an area mall said that they have heard many reasons why a shoplifter says that they shoplift but recently an apprehended suspect gave them a new reason. One that was as funny as it was dumb. It seems that the suspect who was later identified as
Johnny Otis Brown, 55, of Barberton, was charged Oct. 10 with theft. He is accused of taking a $60 earring from Macy's in Summit Mall . When loss prevention agents attempted to detain Brown he immediately resisted an a struggle ensued but he was finally taken into custody and admitted that he had taken some jewelry. Police said Brown told them he took the earring because it ''gave him something to do.''
Police and loss prevention personnel are investigating how many other times Brown might have been looking for something to do as they determine what else he has shoplifted from area retailers.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (KGO) -- An Alameda High School is grieving following the death of a freshman football player following conditioning practice Tuesday.
The Encinal Jets football team will have the next few days to concentrate on their fallen teammate and celebrate his life rather than worry about practice.
"Practice is cancelled for the rest of this week," Susan Davis a school spokesperson.
RELATED: Encinal High School student in Alameda died at conclusion of football conditioning
Giovanni Pulido, 15, collapsed and died Tuesday as players were finishing spring conditioning drills. The coroner's office is trying to determine the cause of death. In the meantime, school officials tried to make sure that students and staffed were cared for.
"Gio was my friend. I talked to him at school sometimes and it's just hard to believe he's gone," said teammate Kyle Mallow.
"So we immediately called grief counselors in early this morning and they are available to students and staff," Davis added.
Tuesday was unseasonably warm in Alameda, with highs in the mid-80s. No one knows if that factored into Gio's death, but sports doctors say heat related injuries are common this time of year.
"We see a lot of kids coming in who haven't necessarily done a lot of the conditioning who are basically going from very low activity to very intense activity and they don't necessarily have conditioning yet," said Nirav Pandya of Oakland Children's Hospital.
School officials say they are launching their own investigation into what happened and will check into whether protocols were followed. Meanwhile, teammates will try to cope.
"I think that we should appreciate what we have and just thank God that we're here and send all our prayers to Gio," Mallow added.

Provencal Herb Garden Shampoo Bar
We've created a shampoo bar that works both as a great hair cleanser and at the same time is kind to your skin, something that is vital when washing your beard or moustache. The shampoo bars are made from a blend of coconut oil, shea butter, babassu oil, olive oil, avocado oil and castor oil. Once the soap has formed the bars are fortified with argan oil which is a great conditioner for both your hair and skin.
The shampoo bars are poured into large wooden moulds and left for 24 hours before being hand cut and stamped, the bars are then racked an allowed to age for 4 weeks before being hand wrapped. The shampoo bars are big and weigh at around 130gr.
Shampoo bars are great to use in the shower or take on holiday with you. Great for all the hair on your head. Simply rub the bar across your hair a couple of times and then massage in and rinse like regular shampoo.
Our beard and moustache shampoo bars have been developed to compliment the fragrances of our beard oils, balms and moustache waxes.
Provencal Herb Garden is a masculine and clean herbal, floral blend. It contains a blend of lavender, spearmint, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon leaf, geranium, palmarosa and patchouli essential oils.

Could one of these electoral college nightmares be our destiny?
President Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry deadlock on Tuesday with 269 electoral votes apiece -- but a single Bush elector in West Virginia defects, swinging the election to Kerry.
Or Bush and Kerry are headed toward an electoral college tie, but the 2nd Congressional District of Maine breaks with the rest of the state, giving its one electoral vote -- and the presidency -- to Bush.
Or the Massachusetts senator wins an upset victory in Colorado and appears headed to the White House, but a Colorado ballot initiative that passes causes four of the state's nine electoral votes to go to Bush -- creating an electoral college tie that must be resolved in the U.S. House.
None of these scenarios is likely to occur next week, but neither is any of them far-fetched. Tuesday's election will probably be decided in 11 states where polls currently show the race too tight to predict a winner. And, assuming the other states go as predicted, a computer analysis finds no fewer than 33 combinations in which those 11 states could divide to produce a 269 to 269 electoral tie.
Normally, such outcomes are strictly theoretical. But not this time, with the election seemingly so close and unpredictable. "Flukey things probably happen in every election, but because most are not close nobody pays any attention," said Charles E. Cook Jr., an elections handicapper. "But when it's virtually a tied race, hell, what isn't important?" Cook says this election is on course to match 2000's distinction of having five states decided by less than half a percentage point.
It is still possible that the vote on Tuesday will produce a clear winner of both the electoral and popular votes. But if the winner's margin is small -- less than 1 percent of the popular vote is a rule of thumb -- the odds increase that the quirks of the electoral college could again decide the presidency and again raise doubts about a president's legitimacy.
"Let us hope for a wide victory by one of the two; the alternative is too awful to contemplate," said Walter Berns, an electoral college specialist at the American Enterprise Institute.
But many political strategists are preparing for a narrow -- and possibly split -- decision. Jim Jordan, former Kerry campaign manager now working on a Democratic voter-mobilization effort, puts the odds at 1 in 3 that Bush will share the fate Al Gore suffered in 2000: a popular-vote win but an electoral loss. "It's actually looking more and more plausible," he said, citing a number of polls showing a Bush lead nationally but a Kerry lead in many battleground states.
A repeat of 2000 -- Bush losing the popular vote but winning the electoral count -- is considered less likely because the president has been boosting his support in already Republican states and reducing his deficit in some safely Democratic states.
Even without a split between the electoral and popular votes, there is room for electoral mischief. To begin with, there are the 33 scenarios under which the battleground states could line up so that Kerry and Bush are in an electoral tie. Even if only the six most fiercely contested states are considered -- Florida, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin -- the electoral vote would be tied if Kerry wins Florida, Minnesota and New Hampshire while Bush wins New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Under the 12th Amendment, if one candidate does not get 270 votes, the decision goes to the House, where each state gets a vote -- a formula that would guarantee a Bush victory (the Senate picks the vice president). A House-decided election could produce even more protests than the 2000 election did. That, writes Ryan Lizza of the New Republic, who spelled out 17 scenarios under which the election could end in an electoral tie, is perhaps the only way "for a second Bush term to seem more illegitimate in the eyes of Democrats than his first term."
The possibility of a tie or near-tie in the electoral college also makes it more possible for individual electors to cause havoc. In West Virginia, one of the state's five Republican electors, South Charleston Mayor Richie Robb, has said he might not vote for Bush (although he calls it "unlikely" he would support Kerry). And in Ohio, the political publication the Hotline reports, one of Kerry's 20 electors could be disqualified because he is a congressman. Such problems and "faithless electors" have surfaced before, but the elections were not close enough for it to matter.
In Maine, the state appears to be comfortably in Kerry's column. But the state splits its electoral votes based in part on the vote in each congressional district. If Bush wins in Maine's 2nd District, where Kerry has a narrow lead, the president would take one of the state's four electoral votes, a potentially decisive difference. For example, if Bush takes New Hampshire, Ohio and Wisconsin; Kerry gets Florida, Minnesota and New Mexico; and the other 44 states follow recent polls, Kerry will win the election with 270 votes -- unless Maine's 2nd District turns against him.
Conversely, Bush is favored to win Colorado's nine electoral votes. But a ballot initiative being decided Tuesday would cause the state's electoral votes to be distributed proportionally -- almost certainly meaning five electoral votes for the winner and four for the loser. Polls show the ballot initiative is likely to fail, but if it passes, the presidential election could change with it.
If Bush were to win Colorado along with the key battlegrounds of New Hampshire, New Mexico and Ohio (and other states followed polls' predictions) he would have 273 electoral votes -- but that would become a tie at 269 votes if the ballot initiative passes. Alternatively, if Kerry were to win Colorado and claim Minnesota, New Mexico and Ohio, he would have 272 votes -- until Colorado's ballot initiative returned four votes, and the presidency, to Bush.

Diet for Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder often characterized by acne-like and red rashes, found commonly on the face. A few individuals who are suffering from rosacea also acquire redness in the eye area and skin thickening in the chin and around the nose and cheeks.
Due to the fact that rosacea is an autoimmune and chronic disease, it cannot be entirely prevented and treatment for rosacea is really difficult. Symptoms associated with the disorder may diminish and flare depending on the case and making changes on your lifestyle and diet can partially help you avoid a flare up of symptoms.
Determining Certain Triggers
In a general sense, food is a common cause of rosacea flare ups but the kind of food which helps in increasing the symptoms may differ depending on the person.
It would help if you will keep a journal of the foods that you eat and monitor your response to certain foods as this can assist you in determining the specific food which can trigger breakout and flushing.
Dairy, vegetables, and fruits, are some of the food groups which tend to be associated with the symptoms, notes the National Rosacea Society.However, different types of fruits, for instance, can elicit a certain response from you which is different from another individual.
If you have already determined a concise pattern of the symptoms that begin to develop after consuming certain foods, take out that specific item from the diet and observe if there is an improvement in your condition.
Easy On The Spices
Hot and spicy foods like red chilli, white pepper, and cayenne affect about 45% of an individual who have rosacea, warns the NRS or National Rosacea Society.
Even individuals who are not suffering from this chronic and autoimmune disease may experience facial flushing when consuming spicy foods such as curry dishes, salsa, and meat which has been rubbed or marinated with spices.
Flavorings based on vinegar like soy sauce can also give way to the same effect. Eliminate or tone down the spices which you put into your food, depending on the rashes and flushing that you are experiencing. Instead of pepper, use certain herbs which do not generate heat.
Cool Off
Drinking and eating hot beverages may trigger a flare up of rosacea symptoms. In order to avoid this from happening, cool food to moderate room temperature and drink cold beverages, instead of hot.
Select iced coffees and teas rather than the piping hot varieties, especially if heat causes redness and flushing. Heated beverages may account for an increase in symptoms among 36% of sufferers, notes the National Rosacea Society.
Moderate Alcohol Consumption
If you are fond of drinking alcoholic beverages, you can still enjoy them in moderation if you are suffering from rosacea. Among the list of certain alcoholic drinks which can trigger a flare up of rosacea symptoms, red wine can be found on the number one spot and beer is second.
When mixed with water, spirits will not likely cause facial flushing and redness. Mixed drinks that contain juice can also be easily tolerated and it does not have much contribution to flushing and redness which is associated with rosacea.

Fall 2008 MoneyWi$e trainings leave wide national footprint
Consumer Action trainers Sol Carbonell and Nelson Santiago traveled up and down the coast during October, providing MoneyWi$e financial literacy trainings to community-based organizations. Phoenix, Arizona, Portland, Maine, and Durham, North Carolina all played host to day-long trainings on timely topics such as buying a home, filing for bankruptcy, and re-building credit.
In Phoenix, Carbonell and Santiago returned to Desert Schools Federal Credit Union (DSFCU) at the behest of Trianna Oglivie, the organization's Community Education Specialist, to train DSFCU's community partners. Topics included senior scams, identity theft, banking basics, and buying a home. The home-buying session allowed for an especially important discussion regarding the rise in foreclosures in the area. During this session, Carbonell shared with participants the results of the latest Arizona State of Housing report. Emma García, Director of Community Development for DSFCU, along with staff from the loss mitigation department, offered their insight on how to assist troubled homeowners and discussed local and statewide efforts to prevent foreclosures.
The visit to land of the lobsters was a first in Consumer Action's training history. The United Way of Portland, Maine organized the training for local CBO's after participating in a MoneyWi$e/
The MoneyWi$e modules presented included Banking Basics, Building and Rebuilding Credit, Identity Theft, and Tracking Your Money. During a tour of the Casey Family Services Center, social worker Florence Young highlighted the Center's efforts to combat poverty and homelessness. Bringing people together to exchange information and learn about new materials are key to addressing some of the challenges that Maine currently faces.
North Carolina is rapidly becoming a favorite spot for Consumer Action train-the-trainer events. The Durham training, hosted by the North Carolina Institute for Minority Economic Development (the Institute), included key topics such as Bankruptcy, Micro-business, Building and Rebuilding Credit, and Teens & Money. Host La-Tasha Best-Gaddy provided a special treat for community groups during one of the breaks. She took everyone on a tour of the resource center she created to showcase Consumer Action's publications and related materials.
"You've got to put a system in place," she told the attendees, explaining how to make good use of limited space while maximizing the delivery of information to clients. During the Micro-business session, Carbonell led a lively discussion about the challenges small business owners are facing in the economic crisis. Participants offered ideas on assessing future success for a small or micro business and exchanged information on local resources available to entrepreneurs.

I take my lunch to work almost everyday. It saves money and it's a lot healthier than eating out.
So far, I've used one of those plastic produce bags from the supermarket to transport my lunch, but they are ugly, and bad for the environment. I've decided to start using my own fabric produce bags and so will not have those little plastic bags around the house anymore.
I run across this lunch sack tutorial at Skip to my Lou. I followed the instruction in everything except the measurements (I made it to mach my lunch boxes) and it was super easy!
I think it looks cute and a bit old fashioned, in a good way! I have gotten quite a few comments about it at work, mostly positive, but also a "what the heck is that?!". :D
I thought about making a some kind of closing mechanism for it, but run out of energy, and for now I'll use the clip pictured. It works well because I use different sized boxes depending on what type of food I'm bringing, and with the clip I can adjust the size of the sack.
I was a bit worried how the sack would perform in practice, but it works really well! It's easy to clean, it' easy to find from the fridge at work (very important), and it's roomy enough to fit all my lunch easily (soup, a sandwich and an apple, for example, all go in there).
I would like to make an insulated sack also, so I could take lunch to school too, as there is no fridge there where I can keep it during lectures. Luckily school doesn't start for another month, so I have some time to procrastinate it!

Google Inc., whose accounting firm mistakenly released their quarterly report prematurely, saw a 9% tumble in the share of their stock today after weaker than expected earnings.
It's not clear why Google's results were posted in a regulatory filing early, but the weaker-than-expected top- and bottom-line figures threatened to leave the stock with its steepest one-day decline since the 2008 financial crisis.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said it earned $2.18 billion, or $6.53 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $2.73 billion, or $8.33 a share, a year earlier.
Year-over-year Google saw a 21% decline in earnings.
While the company indicates more businesses are advertising with them, they are no longer willing to pay as much per click to drive visitors to their web sites: Read more....

Management contest names jury for UAE debut
Dubai, December 2, 2013
The UAE Global Management Challenge, the world's largest strategy and management competition, has announced the names of the jurors selected to oversee the competition that is set to launch on January 12.
The panel was chosen out of a long list of potential jurors made up of leading business personalities, government officials and university professors.
The juror board is made up of: Hamed Kazim, UAE national and board member of Commercial Bank of Dubai; Ibrahim Moosa Jamel, director of Operations Education Cluster – Tecom Investments-DIAC and Abdulrahman Saqr, senior vice president of the Human Resources Department and head of Emiratisation at First Gulf Bank.
"Jurors play a very important role in maintaining the high standards associated with the Challenge," said Mian Muneer Uddin managing partner of Beaufort Associates, the consulting and advisory firm that brought the Global Management Challenge to the UAE.
"These individuals come with impressive credentials in business and management and very high levels of experience, credibility and knowledge. We are very happy to have them on the board."
Global Management Challenge is a strategy and management competition for managers and university students. Teams, made up of three to five members are given a virtual company, initially identical to every other company in the competition, where each team then develops their company by making a series of decisions relating to various aspects of the business, such as how many machines to buy, or how much to spend on advertising.
These decisions are run through a sophisticated business simulation software, which generates in-depth 'Management Reports', showing the consequences of the decisions. The aim is to finish the game with the highest Investment Performance for the virtual company's shareholders.
The Challenge was launched in the UAE in September this year and is aligned with the UAE's vision of Emiratisation. The competition encourages professionals and student to participate and a special track for UAE nationals is under review.
The winning team or 'UAE Champion', will then compete with counterparts from several countries for the world title, to be held in Sochi, Russia in April, 2014. – TradeArabia News Service
