I love baseball, who is your favorite team?
My favorite team is the Chicago Cubs, an american baseball team based in chicago illinois. They are definitely professionals!
How long have the Cubs been a team?
The cubs have been a team since the 1870's! Also little fact baseball does not have a game clock, but most games typically end in the ninth inning.
Wow, I didn't know that. So what happens if there is a tie after 9 innings?

Extra innings
Extra innings is the extension of a baseball or softball game in order to break a tie.
Ordinarily, a baseball game consists of nine innings (in softball and high school baseball games there are typically seven innings; in Little League Baseball, six), each of which is divided into halves: the visiting team bats first, after which the home team takes its turn at bat. However, if the score remains tied at the end of the regulation number of complete innings, the rules provide that

New York-style pizza
New York-style pizza is pizza made with a characteristically large hand-tossed thin crust, often sold in wide slices to go. The crust is thick and crisp only along its edge, yet soft, thin, and pliable enough beneath its toppings to be folded in half to eat. Traditional toppings are simply tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture. In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Butterfly gardening
Butterfly gardening is designed to create an environment that attracts butterflies, as well as certain moths. Butterfly gardening is often aimed at inviting those butterflies and moths to lay eggs as well. Because some plants are not fed upon by adult butterflies, the caterpillar host should also be planted for a bigger population of butterflies. Butterflies typically feed on the nectar of flowers, and there are hundreds of such plants that may be planted to attract them, depending on the location, time of year, and other factors.

i am interested in making movies
Cinematography is a fascinating subject! It's more complicated than you would think. The word was created from Greek words kinema and graphein, meaning recording motion!
how do i get into it ?
Well there are two main types of cinematography, the traditional film stock based method or the new digitally recorded type. Which do you think you'd prefer?
probably traditional if thats still popular
The process of film cinematography uses a lens to repeatedly focus light reflected from objects and creates real images onto the light-sensitive surface inside the camera during a questioned exposure. That creates multiple images onto the film.
that sounds so cool i need to look into it
It really is neat! The series of invisible latent images on the film stock are later chemically developed into visible images. It's a really amazing process.

The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.
