Add a Watermark to a Video with ffmpeg
Easy in LiVES 1.3.3
Sorry Mitch, no time to make that video guide yet ! But I am happy to say that as of LiVES 1.3.3, this is really easy, since I added the Image Overlay effect into the main distro.
1) Open your video in LiVES from the File menu
2) Making sure you are in Clip Edit mode (if in multitrack, press ctrl-e), select Effects -> Image Overlay. Choose your image file/logo (it can be any type of image, including png with alpha). Select the start position, image size (or use natural size), and start alpha (0 for fully opaque). Select end position, end size and end alpha (so you can make it move around or fade in/out). Click OK.
3) After the effect has completed, select File -> Encode clip as, and encode the updated clip.
Unfortunately LiVES cannot
Unfortunately LiVES cannot rapidly open AVCHD files and has some massive deal breakers as I noted over on its article here:
I tried Kdenlive which was the most promising, but the amount of bugs that thing has, coupled with a requirement to recompile FFMPeg to use AAC and H264 (which still doesn't give you the ability to encode in those formats...I'm waiting for an answer on WHY that is on their forums even after spending some time looking for and implementing various answers) as well as the fact that even when using MTS formats the damn thing can't even keep the audio and video in sync, that program is a waste of time. Open Movie Editor doesn't work. Cindellerra can't open the files, and already transcoded files it can't do anything with (not to mention playback of audio is jacked up). Blender tells me FFMPeg can't understand the file.
Basically I've gone through nearly every single video editing solution on Linux and not one of them, not a one, can do the simple task of adding a watermark to the video file I'm trying to create without a deal breaking caveat. AVIDemux used to be everything I needed, but then they just removed the Logo function without informing anyone, and after nearly a year (or more) still no word on its restoration.
I'm really wondering if there's a product out there that works at all, given that even the pay for stuff on windows is so buggy as to make it unuseable. I feel like I did when I first started with DV files and nothing worked to edit those.
i used Avisynth, but i'm a
i used Avisynth, but i'm a windows user :D
Heh, this is all well and
Heh, this is all well and good, but now vhook isn't even included in my ditro. It's gone completely to libavfilter, which is fine if I could figure out how to make that do the same thing as vhook when applying a watermark. There does not appear to be any useable way of including a watermark in linux anymore. AVIDemux removed their support for 'logos' and the libavfilter documentation looks to be Greek to me in regards to actually making it do something useful. Kino was mentioned as a possibility, but the shear amount of time it takes for the kinds of video files I deal with makes it impractical. Other options like building a custom build of ffmpeg with vhook still in (if I understood the suggestion on the Ubuntu boards correctly) is a place I'd rather not go on my system. Any suggestions at this point?
I haven't found a great solution yet. You can take a look at this article, it works although it does have some limitations. Check the comments also as there are some suggestions there that you might want to investigate also.
One would hope that the vhook replacement would see the light of day soon.

Works Sort Of
Hi All,
Got the watermarking to work sort of. I have the watermark but I also have a gray cast to the original video. Looks like the 808080 background is not transparent. Any ideas?
Check Your Image
For reference, the purpose of the 808080 is described below (taken from the ffmpeg documentation):
The watermark picture works like this (assuming color intensities 0..0xFF): Per color do this: If mask color is 0x80, no change to the original frame. If mask color is < 0x80 the absolute difference is subtracted from the frame. If result < 0, result = 0. If mask color is > 0x80 the absolute difference is added to the frame. If result > 0xFF, result = 0xFF.
The only thing I can think of is that you've got a problem with the image and it's not in the format that you think it is. Double check the background to make sure it's all 808080. Also make sure that the image is the same size as the video. The documentation doesn't state what, if anything, might be done to an image that is of a different size than the video before it's used to watermark the video.
This is a known good watermark image, try it and see what you get from it.

ffmpeg removed support for
ffmpeg removed support for vhook a while ago, at least in SVN, in favor of libavfilter. You can see the note here: http://windforce.ellil.net/d/ffmpeg/hooks.html. Therefore, this vhook idea isn't going to work unless you are using an old version of ffmpeg, and it's no longer supported anyway. :(
Not that Old
It was deprecated in the 0.5 version that was released in March of this year and won't be removed until the next version.

Bodin delays decision on new deal
6:00am Monday 21st May 2012 in npower League Two Table & Results By Sam Morshead
BILLY Bodin will not make a final decision on whether or not to sign a new contract with Swindon Town until after his involvement with Crewe in the League Two play-off final.
The Welsh forward has been offered a two-year deal at the County Ground but he told the Advertiser that he is currently dedicating all his attention to helping his loan club secure a place in League One next season.
Crewe face Cheltenham at Wembley on Sunday and, when that business is taken care of, Bodin said he would take time to consider all his options.
"I'm just going to get Wembley out the way and concentrate on that, then I'll have a sit down and chat with my dad and with Swindon and talk about it then," he said.
"All I'm thinking about at the moment is playing for Crewe and helping them in the play-offs."
On a personal level, Bodin has enjoyed and endured a somewhat crazy season.
After starting the term in the Swindon first XI, the 20-year-old has since fallen out of favour, spent a successful time at Torquay and briefly forced his way back into Town boss Paolo Di Canio's thinking before being sent to Alex to end the campaign.
Now a trip to the home of English football awaits the Wales Under-21 international at the end of a manic nine months, and Bodin reflected on a whirlwind season.
"It's not gone the way I expected the season to go and, to be honest, it's been pretty hectic. But it's been good for me and I've enjoyed it," he said.
"We (Crewe) did get a bit lucky in the last 10 minutes of the second leg at Southend and we managed to get through and now we're looking forward to Wembley.
"Hopefully I can get my place back in the team and have the chance to play there."

Today, and every April 26th, the nation celebrates the absolute best on-the-go snack, the soft pretzel. This twisted treat is sold on practically every street corner of Manhattan, Philadelphia, and Chicago, is seen by many as the greatest food ever invented while drinking, and really, who goes to a baseball game and doesn't buy a pretzel? Whether you enjoy savory or sweet, salty or buttery, stuffed with meats, cheeses, or vegetables there's a pretzel with your name on it.
The origins of the pretzel aren't necessarily clear but the general consensus is that the pretzel is centuries old with different variations and names throughout Europe. The first bakers of the pretzel were most likely Christian monks around 610 AD due to the theory that the pretzel resembles hands folded in prayer. Another theory of the pretzel's origin is based on the bread being similar in design and shape of the pre-Christian symbol, the sun cross. Most commonly, the pretzel has become widely associated with Germany's Bavaria region and Oktoberfest celebrations where visitors enjoy pretzels as large as their heads along with their beer steins full of fine Bavarian brew. In Bavaria, located in southern Germany, the brezel has long been associated with German bakers and were incorporated into the crest of baking guilds as early as the twelfth century.
Heather Bortnem, a noteworthy baker in New York City, is known for her famous mouthwatering pretzels, specialty breads and sweet pastries. You can find her products at SmorgasBrewery, a Sunday event that takes place inside Brooklyn Brewery's tasting room. So pair her delectable little treats with a pint and get your Sunday afternoon going. Also for sale, a variety of tartines, salad bread bowls, and other pastries. Her stand is located right next to Blue Bottle Coffee Co. and what better way to start off your day then with one of Bortnem's freshly baked-to-perfection scones and a delicious cup of joe.

Is there a Korean video rental store in either Duluth or Doravill HMart stores?
My wife tells me there is a sign in the women's locker room, Korean only, stating you cannot be there if you are on the rag.
I personally am glad they don't let people rub the soap all over their dirty underwear. Most people, when using soap do not stick the whole thing on their private parts. I'm glad they were forceful about this issue, especially when the woman kept disobeying their hygiene policy.
This place is real and real awesome!
I think, silence is golden.
wait, so this is a real place?
Well the Jeju sauna is not going to get a good rating from us because of a recent incident there. In fact they do not deserved to be rated at all.
On a recent visit with four girlfriends recently we were in the middle of showering and one our girlfriends was rinsing out an undergarment when she was confronted by a spa worker who asked her not to use the bar soap to do this with - explaining other people use that soap - it was a bar of soap. Our friend explained that the bar soap was regularly used on skin-to-soap contact and that it stood more of a chance to become contaminated doing that. She also pointed out that there were no signs stating that undergarments not be rinsed out in the shower. She further suggested that Jeju consider supplying only liquid soap dispensers, or single use soap bars, like hotels and motels, which were overall safer when it comes to transferring contaminants. With that the employee left.
My girlfriend continued to shower when this employee came back and saw her still holding the undergarment in her hand in the shower. The Jeju employee became quite indignant and irritated and yelled at our friend who was only holding the undergarment for not wanting to lay them down on the shower floor. At this point she asked our friend to leave immediately, and the other three in the group (including me and a small child) were told to leave since we were all together.
Somewhere in all this Diane, the manager became involved. We did nothing to warrant this mistreatment by Jeju. Further, and the most disgusting part, security was called and a male security person by the name of Tony entered the locker room. I was nude as well as one of my friends! I asked him to leave that we were naked and he said I could not tell him where he could go. This was very humiliating to experience.
This whole disgusting event was totally uncalled for and highly embarrassing and stressful for all us attending. I am considering legal action. There was a purposeful invasion of privacy when the spa allowed a male to enter the locker room with naked females present. It was beyond embarrassing. We all paid for 24 hours and were told we would not get a refund. Diane was laughing when we left but believe me there was nothing to laugh at. I question her ability and skills to manage this establishment properly.
So if you want to possibly be humiliated beyond reason then go to this spa which is run by highly unreasonable people. This is not how we do business in America. We expect to be heard, and a modicum of respect. I wish everyone would protest this place and boycott participation in their business.
Very Very Upset in Temple, GA
This place is amazing I've been there 5 times so far and I love it!!! The nudity is no big deal there's fat skinny and everything in between so nobody has to be self conscious. It's the best bang for your buck around... I'm very exited to make trip #6 today!

I have eaten here. I love the chicken basil and calamari basil!
I also love the warm atmosphere in there.
Please tell me they have shakshuka and sabich!
I keep hearing that, samd. Don't they have someone making tortillas by hand?
Man, this seriously got me hungry for tacos. You should check out the Sunday brunch buffet at El Azteca on Peachtree. Its legit and very tasty.
I recently at tacos that looked just like these in Southern California (the slaw was thinly cut instead of chopped)!!!!! Thank you Buford Hwy for making me want to cry. I will see you this weekend and many times after that.
Have you been recently? It just reopened with new owners/chef after being closed for some time.
A Chinese doctor I worked with always swore by this place but I found it pretty lame.
Absolutely delicious! The bot chien was incredible. Would add to the recommendations Shaking Beef.
Um, "Texican" is meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
I think the phrase Robb Walsh uses is "Tejano", as opposed to Texican.
But thx for the reviews!

Historic district proposed
Town officials will consider establishing a local historic district, following a report Tuesday by planning director Bob Barber.
Barber told the Board that the town's existing preservation commission met recently, a requirement for Tunica's Certified Local Government status with the state.
"You enacted a preservation ordinance in 2005 or 2006 and established a national historic district," Barber explained.
That district is bounded on the south by Peabody Street, on the east by Highway 61, on the north by Mockingbird Street, and on the west by Kestevan Alley.

Why Do You Need Insulation Removal Services?
Posted by Insulation Services Comments Off Jan 25, 2012 @ 03:01When the winter season arrives, it is important to have proper insulation in your home to ensure that you can stay warm inside. Attic or roof insulation in your house or commercial building is ideal to make it a cozy space. After all, insulation is a basic requirement for constructing buildings nowadays.
The key to an effective insulation process is the use of the right materials and installation procedure. If you can take care of both aspects, you can expect your home's insulation to last for a long time. Sadly though, this is not always the case. Some homeowners might have to call in insulation removal services due to any of the following reasons: wiring complications, health and safety risks, damaged insulation, inefficient installation of the insulation system, and the need to perform renovation or upgrades.
The insulation systems that are installed in the basement or attic of your house are the ones more susceptible to damage. This is because of the leaks coming into these systems that can cause it to become easily damaged. In addition, insects such as mice or bats can also contribute to damaging the attic insulation due to contamination from their constant nibbling into the material. It is important to have the insulation removed because it may not only cause damage to the material or to your house but also puts your health at risk.
Over-insulation is another common reason behind having your roof insulation removed. This is a common mistake done by property owners who place too much insulation on the roof to a point that it can limit the natural ventilation indoors. The use of bulk materials can produce unnecessary air pockets, which defies the purpose of insulating in the first place. But the more important reason why you need to have it removed is the potential risk to causing fire in your home.
Removing insulation in your home or commercial building is more than just designed to protect your own safety and the ability to provide proper ventilation indoors. It can also be beneficial in your claim for insurance. Insurance companies will not honor damages to your property, especially when your insulation system is proven inefficient because it means neglect on your part. It is therefore important to assess your insulation system and determine if it needs to be upgraded. The cost of insulation removal is relatively cheaper than having to shoulder the expenses of the damages it will cost to your home and family down the road.
Insulation removal is, however, not necessary if your home insulation is properly done and is done by experts. When you hire a professional to insulate your home, you are assured of long-lasting and efficient insulation.
To those who are living in New Orleans or know someone who is looking into an insulation removal service, check http://www.ecostarfoam.com/. You can call us at 504-383-3261 to set an appointment so you can discuss the process of insulation removal in a more in-depth manner. The company's goal is to make your home as comfortable for you as possible.

Partnerships & Cooperation An open house was held Nov. 13, 2008 at the Leavenworth Fire Department Conference Hall so our engineers could fine tune the traffic control plan that required weeknight closures of Tumwater Canyon.Significant planning and resources were applied to put into place a public information program, to provide timely and accurate travel delay and road closure information, including the project web page, Highway Advisory Radios at the junction of US 2 & US 97 east of Leavenworth and another at the west end of town, E-mail notification to media, businesses, schools, transit and emergency services, Electronic message signs on the highway, radio and newspaper announcements.Extensive emergency service coordination was in place with 2 local fire districts, Washington State Patrol, Chelan County Sheriff, ambulance services and local hospitals.
This project was advertised for private contractor bids on March 16, 2009. Two qualified bids were opened on April 16th. On April 20th, contract #7716 was awarded to Central Washington Asphalt, Inc. for $1,683,781.53, 23% below the engineering estimate.

Transmission Problem
I have a 3 speed dual shifter transmission in my 54 wasp. With the engine turned OFF I can easily shift it into all
gears, but with with engine running I cant shift it from neutral into ANY gear..it just grinds.
What is the problem here..This just happened and up until a few days ago it was operating WELL
Try adjusting your clutch. It sounds like it's not fully releasing.
It could be that the rubber pads have dropped out of the actuating arm between the pedal and the throw-out shaft.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Ok is this something external on the transmission or clutch or are they internal parts and where are they located? -
Tom, the pads are on the shaft which goes between the frame and the bell housing on the drivers side of the transmission. They are about as big around as a half dollar and have nubs which hold them one. If you look at the shaft it will have 2 ears... kinda like mickey mouse ears. See J2-30 on attachment
LewClutch Control.jpg1900 x 1425 - 124K -
Sounds to me like the clutch may be stuck to the flywheel. Try putting it in gear , putting on the brake so car wont move . Hold clutch in and "bump" the starter ,see if that breakes it loose,
RogerRetired Tech. -
I am afraid that my clutch is stuck to the flywheel...I have tried to adjust it and also tried to bump the starter and the car still moves when in gear and the clutch pedal is to the floor.
Any other suggestions other than removing the clutch..I hate the thought of that job again on my 54 Wasp....going thru the floor is a pain in the pittuti!!! -
Well if you are brave you can get it out in the clear in the drive or road. Get the motor warmed up and shut it down , put it in gear and start the car with it in first gear and clutch in. Keep clutch in and accelerate hard and let off quick - repeat if neessassry. This generaly pulls them loose.
Some folks will say dont do it because you will damage the cork. Well if this does'nt work the and you have allready tried cleaning it and new fluid then its gotta come appart anyhow .
So you have nothing to loose far as I can see , Has worked for me many time s,
RogerRetired Tech. -
If I put the car in gear and try to start it even with the Clutch IN I cant get it to start cause
its in gear and the clutch is stuck to the flywheel?..Am I missing something here? -
Once you have it cleared then remember to leave the engine idling, with the clutch depressed, and in gear, for about 20 seconds before you turn the engine off. Allows fluid to get in between the surfacesIf you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Drain the fluid out and fill the clutch with acetone and lacquer thinner combo
and let it set over night with the clutch pedal depress. If it's stuck to the flywheel this should release it. Drain and add proper amount of clutch oil.
You may have a mechanical problem,like the pins sheard in clutch shaft. Is there resistance when you push on the pedal? -
Per Roger's explaination.
Position car so you have 2 to 300 feet ahead of you. Put it in first gear, push clutch in and start it. It will start if all is well with engine. Keep clutch pedal dpressed, increase speed slightly, and jam on the brakes. Repeat til it breaks loose or as Roger says, gonna have to come apart any way. Something's gotta give. I've used this techigue on several vehicles over the years including a Ford tractor that had been submerged in a flood.
As far as pulling transmission out, may not seem like it, but pulling engine, trans out as a unit is easier.
Kim -
Good way to shear the spider gear pin and then you have big problems. Remove the trans and install a new set up and enjoy the ride. Then when you park the car for 3 days or longer, make a stick to keep the clutch pedal on the floor and you will never have a stuck clutch again. Walt.

Doctor Who: Lost TV Episodes Collection 1 (1964-1965)
Dozens of Doctor Who TV episodes are lost as visual film recordings - but they survive as audio soundtracks, digitally remastered with additional linking narration by members of the original cast. This handsome 12CD box set collects together five adventures which are either wholly or partially lost from the TV archives, but which can be enjoyed in their entirety on audio.
Presented in chronological order of transmission, the stories in this collection are 'Marco Polo', 'The Reign of Terror', 'The Crusade', 'Galaxy 4' and 'The Myth Makers', all starring William Hartnell as the original Doctor. Also includes bonus interviews with William Russell (Ian), Carole Ann Ford (Susan) and Maureen O'Brien (Vicki) in which they recall their time as Doctor Who companions; colour scans of the original TV camera scripts for all 25 episodes, presented as PDF files and a JPEG map showing the route taken by the Doctor and his companions in the company of the explorer Marco Polo.
The Lost TV Episodes Collections are presented in an attractive tuck-end slipcase. Each individual story is presented in its own rigid case with accompanying sleeve notes, cast & production credits and full track listing.

The trapezoidal shaped cabinets aim the drivers and tweeters in opposing directions to produce a more realistically diffuse wavefront and wide, lifelike imaging of surround sound. Keyhole slots make mounting a snap.
With the flip of a switch, our dipole/bipole circuitry changes the soundfield from direct to indirect radiation patterns enabling you to place the surround speaker beside or behind you depending on your listening room setup.
Klippel motor optimization uses laser measurement technology to ensure a smooth excursion path at either end of the volume spectrum for uniform performance at both low and high volumes.

OTTUMWA, IOWA -- The Ottumwa Chamber of Commerce officially has a new executive director.
Tim Kurtz finished his second day as the new director on Friday.
He has been a lifelong resident of Ottumwa and attended the University of Iowa.
He said he feels confident he can promote commerce in the greater Ottumwa area by working with existing businesses to help them grow and to expand as well as making an environment where it's conducive to bring new retail into the community.
"I was in the newspaper business for 26 years so I grew up on the sales side of the newspaper so I dealt with businesses. So that's one thing that brought me to this position and I thought I could make a difference because I do have all the connections and know a lot of people and have a good understanding of how businesses run," said Kurtz.
Kurtz said he looks forward to helping businesses to network. He added that it's a good time to be in Ottumwa and that it's exciting to see the growth in the downtown.

Vanderkitten-Focus Pro Women's Cycling Team took advantage this past weekend of the sunny Californian winter with a special pre-season bike and KASK Helmets pre-fitting session in Mountain View, CA.
After a gruelling morning training ride taking in climbing roads featured in recent editions of the Amgen Tour of California, our US based VK athletes met with Vanderkitten-Focus staff and management to dial in their equipment for the impending season.
Critical to the session was the introduction of riders to the KASK 2012 range of helmets. Riders were able to try on various iterations of the Vertigo, Mojito, K-10 and K-31 Chrono helmets.
Vanderkitten is well known as a premium athletic brand, hence the alignment with KASK, but the importance of optimum safety whilst training is also something that the VK riders preach and practice. Whenever our riders are travelling across the USA to an International race, we make sure we align with schools and emergency services in host cities, so we can spread the word about bike safety. The fact that in 2012 we now utilize the most cutting edge designs in safety is paramount to the Vanderkitten message, and this weekend reinforced how lucky we are to be riding the best helmets in the world!
Now our athletes have the perfect fit for comfortable, stylish riding, our 2012 Vanderkitten-Focus jersey design will be matched precisely to the KASK in house template. This means our upstart Pro Women's team will have access to the same premium technology and design featured in the KASK Helmets of UCI ProTour studs Team SKY. Check out the 2012 Vanderkitten-Focus KASK Mojito helmets online in the near future!

I had no qualms about turning thirty. I was ready, am ready, to enter into a decade of love and adventure and family and security so much I cannot even begin to describe it. I won't try. All you need to know is that I left my twenties behind without nary a tear shed.
For my birthday this year I did not plan any special celebrations aside from the general Fourth of July merriment. It occurred to me, I guess, but I was busy. Also, I had a pretty good idea that Husband was planning something on his own.My suspicion was based on that he told me 'I am planning something' and that I had to take a day off of work the week of my birthday. There was a surprise afoot and I didn't want to ruin it.
(Once, when I was leaving PA, my group of friends at the time were planning some kind of going away for me. Naturally I did not know about it [as it was a surprise]. Nearing the day of my departure, I announced to one of my friends that I was thinking about throwing a going away party. Furious, she replied "Well we were planning a going away party for you but it was supposed to be a suprise! God Juliet, why do you have to ruin everything? Since then I have been very careful not to interfere with anything that might resemble, possibly, a surprise.)
The day of my birthday I worked off my hangover from the day before and spent a low key evening grilling at my friend B's house down the street. We had a couple of beers and grilled vegetables and steak and watched B's friend's baby giggle and play in a bowl of water to keep cool, all of us deeply envious that we could not strip down to a diaper. It was a lovely evening and we were in bed by nine thirty.
The following day I woke early despite being able to sleep in. We had to do laundry but it was surprise day. What would it be? Pack a bag? Where are we going? I was like an eager child bothering their parents to have their dessert right up until three o'clock when Husband said we could get in the car to go.
I rode silently, waiting for a hint while he tried to remember the route without putting up the GPS. (Husband goes almost nowhere without his GPS.)
"Shit, I don't know where to go," he said, dismayed. "How to I get to the airport from here?"
"EEEeeee!" I squealed, "We're going to the airport?"
"Yes, just tell me how to get there!"
I directed him and off we went - to the airport.
Blindfold plus headphones plus hands over my ears going 'lalalala' equals difficult in a busy airport. |
Would you believe that the whole thing was totally successful right up until landing? I just couldn't block the pilot out when he said "We're beginning our descent into Denver."
Denver. I may have thought we were going to Texas or to Las Vegas maybe but when the pilot said Denver I fell in love with the man next to me all over again. (Thankfully Husband was seated beside me.)
I haven't been back to Colorado in ten years.
This is not totally, entirely true. I was in Denver once for work in 2007 but it didn't feel like a visit. Even visiting the Denver Zoo hadn't made that trip feel like anything but work. It didn't feel like 'going home'.
This time, though, I was with someone I loved and I knew before he told me that I would be seeing my two best childhood friends (at very least). This time I was really going home.
In the airport he tried valiantly to throw me off the trail, saying that my friends were both busy and that he and I would be on our own for the weekend. I almost believed him when he told me he thought we were going to take a cab from the airport but I knew he'd been planning amongst my friends since for some time.
Regardless, when J showed up with her two children in tow I was elated to see her.
"Hey pretty lady, can I take you home?" she asked.
J and her babies |
It struct me as wildly bizarre to see my childhood friend as a mother. We'd quite literally grown up together - our mothers had met when we were in diapers. And though I had seen her since she had her second child it wasn't with them in tow and somehow I didn't really connect them to her. It was so real now. Unavoidable, I guess. We had become adults.
J kindly took us to get something to eat and then deposited us at our hotel for a good nights sleep. In the morning I woke to see the mountains.
See the mountains? (And the dirt in my camera?) |
After a breakfast and some chatting with the friendly locals (read: anyone we spoke to), we decided that with our very limited time we would drive to the mountains. We stopped by S's house and were on our way.
All the pretty horses... |
"We're talking about it," she said, blushing.
God, when did we become adults? I thought. And I felt least like an adult out of the three of us though I am sure if you asked any of us fifteen years ago who would be married with children first it would have been me.
The Stanley Hotel. Not so scary after all. |
"Do you remember that time we were going to Vegas," said J, "And we had to borrow you're mom's car because you wrecked yours? I cannot believe she let two seventeen year old girls do that. Your mom, of all people!! How did we convinced her to loan us her car???"
"And then we lost the hubcaps!!" I laughed. "I chased them down the middle of the highway! There is a picture of that somewhere."
"Oh my God, remember the gold pants?" cried S. "I hated those pants."
"No! I loved those pants!!" I replied, hysterical.
"And you would only ever where it with that huge oversized shirt?" S laughed.
Aren't we cute? MOUNTAINS!! |
And on and on.
We drove to Estes Park. If we'd had more time we would have drive all the way to Grand Junction - I haven't seen my home town in ten years - but we were limited by the hours in the day. A trip to the mountains was the next best thing.
And more mountains!! It was so good for my soul. |
Who's that creepy guy? I don't know. |
Roses in a beautiful garden. |
and more roses in a beautiful garden... |

Some enterprising students at Rice University — um, female students — have launched a new sex magazine on campus.
Open Magazine is Rice's first-ever student publication devoted to (as the Houston Chronicle puts it) "textual and sexual pursuits," The debut edition features 68 pages of news articles, essays, photos, poems, even graphics on sex and sexuality.
"Ideally, it should be for anybody," editor-in-chief Rachel Solnick, a sophomore, told the Chron. "I think it has a pretty mature tone. … We're only including artistic photos. If you just want to see a hot girl, that's easy to do somewhere else."
Don't worry, the magazine isn't an official Rice publication, although it got some financial help from a campus enterprise fund.
"This is an independent student project, and we're supportive of any artistic student initiative as long as it's lawful and within our student code of conduct," Robin Forman, Rice's dean of undergraduates, said. "The interplay of editorials, stories, poems, surveys and a variety of literary forms is a really interesting effort."
Gator's quick survey of Rice students found that, yes, most of them are only getting Open Magazine for the articles.

There is this horrifying scene in a movie I saw once, and it scarred me. Like, forever.
It wasn't The Ring. It wasn't Dawn of the Dead. It wasn't creepy Norman Bates and his momma. It was "Playing By Heart" starring the likes of Angelina Jolie, Sean Connery, and Gillian "Scully" Anderson, among others.
First of all, the movie is b-list. It's not a straight-to-dvd movie, but it was probably close. It's not high quality, is all I'm saying. In the movie, there are all of these separate plotlines about different romances, and as the movie goes on you see how all of these characters all know each other. Sort of a "Sidewalks of New York" idea.
One of the couples is Scully and Jon Stewart. Yes, that Jon Stewart. Don't go out and rent the movie if you are a Daily Show fan (me), and have a teensy crush on Jon Stewart (me again). First of all, it's embarrassing to see the man we all know to be so smart and funny and smart and smart and funny sitting right in the middle of this dumbass movie. He's just so... better than that. You don't deserve to see him that way. And second of all, he is in The Horrifying Scene. The one that scarred me.
I don't even remember the plot line. I don't remember anything but the awful scene. He and Scully, there are in wedded bliss in their apartment. Or shacked up bliss. Something like that. And Scully is brushing her teeth. Not fake brushing her teeth, the likes of which you see in tv and movies, where there is no actual toothpaste involved and it looks all pretty. She is actually brushing her teeth. With white, frothy, saliva-activated toothpaste. And Jon, my lovely Jon, swoops in and takes her in his arms, and they kisss. Like, he just laps up the toothpaste spilling out of her mouth, and they smooch it up.
Nordic Boy and I, we have been together for a long time. And we make out quite a bit. More than is really necessary, really. But in all the times we have kissed, we don't let our toothpaste, our IN USE toothpaste, touch each other in any way. Because, gross, right? Isn't that gross?
If I am wrong about this, and you all are sharing toothpaste in this way, please do not tell me. I want to believe this is not acceptable behavior.
So this weekend, I was brushing my teeth (and no, don't worry, I am not about to tell you a story where I saw the light and actually thought it was fine to kiss this way. I wouldn't do that to you). And while I was doing so, I look to the side (where the door is open into the hallway). Nordic Boy is walking back and forth in front of the door. First, he walks by in a "Walk Like an Egyptian" sort of dance. Next, he kicks by, like he has a top hat and is marching off a vaudeville stage. Next, he does an MC Hammer scoot by. Next, he booty-bops by, swinging an invisible pretend weave, and singing "to the left, to the left," like Beyonce. And so on. Each one weirder than the last. Finally, he stays in the hallway, and just peeks his head around the corner with a weird bug-eyed, smiling Carol Channing face and sings "Jeepers, Creepers, where'd you get those eyessssss!"
To which I answered by taking my toothbrush out of my mouth, bursting into laughter, and SPRAYING HIS ENTIRE FACE WITH TOOTHPASTE.
It was brutal. I didn't mean to do it, I swear. But the more he did crazy walks past the door, the more I wanted to laugh, but the more I thought I could hold it in until I was done. Bad call. Very bad call.
Some performers get tomatoes thrown at them. But this? This is unprecedented I am sure. The toothpaste spit-take. Onto the person I love most in the world, who is just trying to cheer up my day.
So as much as "Playing By Heart" has made me think about how I would never let my used toothpaste touch anyone else, ever, I have indeed sunk that low. Not cool, LG. Not even cool.
I'm out,
Librarian Girl

The description of that scene honestly made me a little queezy, but, gosh, do I love you and Nordic Boy.
- librarymeow said...
No no no! I LOVE that movie! In fact, I own a copy... Well, my taste in movies has always been questionable. I still stand by it though, creepy gross toothpaste scene and all.
Oh. Dear.
- SAVanVleck said...
You are sooooo lucky. Nordic boy is a treasure.
And, yes, I did get the point, but I would rather focus on how cool Nordic Boy is and not on your toothpaste.
Never saw the movie and will keep it that way. - 4:54 PM
OMG! This post really brightened my morning! I am still laughing. Love it.
- Melinda said...
I *knew* that if any of my blog friends would have seen [and been awesomely horrified by] that movie, it would have been you. Angelina Jolie and Ryan Phillipe, people! Her freespirited whimsy saves him from his terminal diagnosis! Wheee!
- dizz said...
One of my nearest and dearest loves loves loves that film and when she loaned it to me and I watched it and didn't really like it that much I felt so bad...I don't remember that scene at all (obviously left a lasting impression) but you are correct. That is beyond wrong. Ick!
I like dancing Nordic Boy though. Maybe you should think about changing his name to The Dude?
Ha! My word verification is snuckede!!! - 8:40 AM
- labooshki said...
Love your blog! Your last post had me laughing out loud!
- SunShine said...
As much as I know this post must've embarrassed you to write, thanks. You really made me laugh. You guys sound very cute. :)
- Jaded Librarian said...
Every day I wait for more awesome and far too funny stories about you and Nordic Boy. I love you guys, even though I don't actually know you. I can love through words. Well done/said and most importantly, LMAO awesome once again.
- sassysundry said...
Nordic Boy played with fire . . . or should I say toothpaste?
By the way, love the Big Wheel. My icon sports one too (can't see it here, as I'm on Wordpress). - 4:49 PM
- Sauntering Soul said...
OMG, that is one of the funniest stories I've read in a long time. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I needed it more than you know today.
- rachael said...
Hi-freakin'-larious!!! (And yes, thoroughly disgusting.)
- librarianista said...
1. You know, aside from any disgusting usages of toothpaste, I just don't see how there could ever be any chemistry between Stewart and Scully. I'm grateful that he seems to have realized that his actualy personality is great and it's a shame to waste it on acting.
2. Dude, I wish there was hidden video of the NB dance series. Believe it or not, R and I actually do similar dance routines most nights during getting-ready-for-bed time. His are more in the NB style, whereas mine tend to be energetic interpretive dances set to the theme song for the Amazing Race or whatever. - 7:30 PM
- samantha jo campen said...
That makes me want to vomit and I'm not even kidding.
I HATE TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHPASTE (gah, even the word 'paste' makes me stabby).
I don't understand couples who share toothbrushes. That is THE most disgusting thing ever. Making out is one thing--sharing bristles that scraped plaque off your teeth is entirely different.
So the thought of kissing someone all rabid from toothpaste is my own personal Hell.
And if I were Nordic Boy I would have hurled all over the place if that happened to me. I'm sure of it. Please send him my condolences. - 7:30 PM
Thanks to this post, I rented Playing the Heart from netflix and watched it for the second time last night.
I cannot decide why this movie doesn't quite succeed. It has potential. Good stories,a few interesting characters, and great actors. Sadly the chemistry isn't there. And some of the dialogue, esp. between the older couple is quite stilted. No matter. Somehow the characters grabbed at me, and I almost watched it a third time before sending it back.
The toothpaste scene is pretty dull after visualizing toothpaste spraying all over Nordic Boy. - 7:15 AM

Toxic Chemicals
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) faces long-standing challenges assessing and controlling the risks associated with toxic chemicals.
Tens of thousands of chemicals are currently in EPA's chemical inventory and an average of 1,500 new chemicals are introduced into commerce each year. EPA conducts chemical toxicity assessments under its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program and is authorized under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to obtain information on the risks of chemicals and control those it determines pose an unreasonable risk. Obtaining adequate scientific information on chemical toxicity and exposure levels and completing timely, credible chemical toxicity assessment have been long-standing challenges for EPA. Such assessments are the cornerstone of scientifically sound environmental decisions, policies, and regulations under a variety of environmental statutes, such as the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Air Act.

Nice post OP. but like cooper said it ain't the Jews. What I mean by that is it ain't the so called "Jewish people" but the Israeli government. That state is a damn shame. That state is a major cause of the problems that go on everyday. MOSAD is the real terrorist. And just to make things clear they are not the "chosen people" talked about in the good old book. There state is disgusting, they are not the Jews of Moses, they are ZIONIST. They do control our media and brainwash the youth. The united states should break free of there bs. If there neighbors want to wipe them out then good for them. None of those country's would be a threat to the us if it wasn't for Israel. The U.N. is the biggest terrorist there are and they tie that crap in. If you want your damn homeland fight for it yourselves. Leave the American people out of it. And for the media either everyone throw there t.v s out the window or lets bum rush them with our weapons out and send them back to there "homeland" scum.

IBM speeds push for 500-mile EV battery
Ten years from now, range anxiety for electric cars could be a thing of the past.
IBM today announced two partners for a project aimed at building a lithium air battery able to propel an electric car 500 miles. Scientists from Asahi Kasei and Central Glass with expertise in membranes and electrolyte chemistries will join IBM researchers on the initiative.
Called the Battery 500 Project, the goal is to design an "air-breathing" battery that will use oxygen from the air to drive a new type of battery chemical reaction and, in the process, deliver a big jump in … Read more
