You're supposed to be able to drag the edges, but no matter what mode I'm, dragging/moving anything keeps doing something else. It either tries to relocate the slide (which are all imports from Photoshop Elements, btw) to the next segment or simply moves my position on the timeline, it never lengthens the clip.

The default, which is based on the type of file imported, is 5 seconds. You can set a global default higher for slides upon import, but I'd still have same problem, as I need the slides to have different durations. There's also a place where you can manually adjust the duration for each individual slide by simple replacing the :05 with another value typed it & while it appears to work (i.e. it stores the new value I've typed), upon playback every slide stays at 5 seconds.

I finally had to give up, in hopes of being shown what I'm doing wrong (or how to do it right) by someone at my son's school this afternoon when I'm there for related stuff.

You're welcome.

I guess one workaround with those clips is to make duplicates of them and then razor blade them to the length that you need and delete the portion that you don't need. So say if you needed one clip to be 13 seconds (assuming the original is 5 seconds), make 2 copies for a total of 15 seconds and then cut 2 seconds off the last clip. Wonky, but, should do the trick since it's a still photo.

Also, don't know if you've ever heard of it, but, there's a site called the Creative Cow that has a bunch of forums for video editing broken down into app specific forums. It's free and you don't have to register unless you want to ask a question.

Good luck and it's probably a good chance that someone at your son's school knows.

The best was that I caught the last couple minutes of that Tosh.0 guy last night at one point and he was doing some thing about how much celebs are worth. First he flashed up Hugh Hefner @ 44mil or so. Then he flashed up Larry Flint at like $445mil or something. And he goes: "And there you have it - proof that softcore porn is less desireable than getting pissed on." (i'm paraphrasing)

From a Craigslist ad (it's now deleted):

BRUTAL DRUMMER SEEKS BRUTAL GUITAR PLAYER (downtown Raleigh)

BRUTAL IS WHAT I WANT. NO COVERS. NO TRIBUTES. NO ROCK. NO PUNK. NO CORE. NO KIDS. NO WEEKEND WARRIORS. IF THIS IS YOUR HOBBY, FUCK OFF, YOU AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH. YOU MUST LIVE THIS SHIT EVERY MOTHERFUCKING DAY. DO NOT EMAIL ME TO CHAT ENDLESSLY ABOUT YOUR COVER BAND NEEDING A DRUMMER, FUCK YOU FOR NOT WRITING YOUR OWN GOD DAMNED MUSIC, AND FUCK YOU FOR PROFITEERING OFF OTHERS’ CREATIVITY. COME ORIGINAL, COME CORRECT, OR DON’T FUCKING EMAIL ME, I’M TOO BUSY LIVING THE DREAM TO BE BOTHERED BY ANY BULLSHIT AT ALL. EQUIPMENT MUST BE FUCKING LOUD WITHOUT FEEDBACK OR BLOWN SPEAKERS, YOUR GUITAR MUST DOUBLE AS A WEAPON. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DRIVE YOUR DRUG-ADDLED ASS OVER HERE TO DOWNTOWN RALEIGH WITH YOUR GEAR, AND BE PREPARED TO PLAY FULL ON FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE, OR, ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN FUCK OFF RIGHT BACK TO THE PRACTICE SPACE, YOU AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH. I NEED TO GET AGGRESSION OUT, AT LENGTH, AND WHILE SMOKING HEAVILY. IF THAT IS A PROBLEM, FUCK OFF. ALSO, NO FUCKING BANDS WITH A HOLE TO FILL. ONCE I FIND THE BRUTAL AS FUCK MOTHERFUCKING GUITAR PLAYER I LIKE, WE WILL FUCKING GO FROM FUCKING THERE…YOUR FIRST EMAIL NEEDS TO INCLUDE MORE THAN ‘HEY I’M FUCKING BRUTAL, TOO, CALL ME’. YOU MUST HAVE MP3S, YOUTUBES, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR AVAILABLE FOR ME TO JUDGE BY, AND DON’T THINK SOME FOOTAGE FROM 10 YEARS AGO WILL CUT IT EITHER GRANDPA, RECENT, AND GOOD QUALITY. I MAY CURSE A LOT BUT THIS IS THE MOTHERFUCKING DIGITAL AGE AND IF YOU CAN’T PROVIDE SAMPLES, DON’T FUCKING EMAIL ME. IF YOU ARE JUST COMMENTING HOW YOU ‘LOVE MY AD’ DON’T FUCKING EMAIL ME, I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK, I NEED BRUTAL, MOTHERFUCKERS. DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

Live HS football webcast tonight, Athens Academy vs FPD, pre-game 715, kickoff 730. Not going to a game tonight? Then watch the Spartans try to go 3-0 (and hear me a little bit in the process) By game time, there'll be a link up to watch live at

Media & Technology Club
(at the moment it seems to link to last week's game, although afaik that link would still get you to the right place ... I hope)

Stop by early & watch my son do his thang as the pre-game studio host (don't blink, you'll miss him, I think he's on-screen for like 90 secs this week)

I'd go blue. But if I remember correctly, your hair is pretty dark, so you'd have to bleach first, which makes blue go kind of green. So let's say purple.

To my motherfawkin realtor...if you have to explain "why" a house is waterfront, IT IS NOT MOTHERFAWKIN waterfront...

I met him at 7Am on a Clemson gameday Saturday to look at "exactly what you and your wife have been looking for"...uh no it's not...I dont care what gov't agency owns the land that borders the house...I can't swim in mud and weeds even if the corps of engineers owns it.

That is all...

DeSoto beat Sullivan last night 27-14. Played on a nice turf field in front of some hoosiers. It's a field where all the fans sit on the same side. The other side opens up to the local country club's golf course.

When we arrived, I thought, heh, check that out. That's cool.

Then the golf carts arrived and I realized you didn't have to have class to be part of the country club. Bunch of drunk hoosiers in golf carts cat calling the game behind our bench.

We had a strong fog roll in for the game so that was neat...but we likely lost our starting quarterback on the first play from scrimmage due to a broken collarbone. What a bummer.

Sullivan also runs the double wing, but doesn't run the wedge nearly enough and completely screwed themselves by having splits between the linemen.

I'm ready to leave work, but I'm sticking around because I'm expecting a call from a short bald man from North Carolina whose second job is performing at rodeos as Elvis Presley. If I don't leave in the next 30 minutes, I may be late for bowling tonight. I hope this guy calls me soon.

Did they use all of your contact information or did they use a cell phone for the phone on the order...basically, did they leave any hint of who they are when they placed the order?

How much are you willing to pay for blazing fast internet?

In the global race to see who can offer the fastest Internet service, an unlikely challenger has emerged: Chattanooga, Tenn.

The city-owned utility, EPB, plans to announce on Monday that by the end of this year it will offer ultra-high-speed Internet service of up to one gigabit a second. That is 200 times faster than the average broadband speed in America.

There is one caveat: the highest-speed service will cost $350 a month,

That'd be nice, but it's going to need to be cheaper if we want to get caught up to the rest of the world.

Surprisingly fun time watching a middle school football game this afternoon, several of my son's classmates were playing so I kind of know a few of them myself.

Leading all the way & winning 34-16, it's kind of easy to relax and enjoy, but it was really a kick to see our star do his thing. An 8th grader playing football for the first season of his life, he had 4 touches on offense resulting in 3 TD catches for about 150 yds total, 1 TD run for another 52 yds and no play under 45 yards. He also picked off a halfback pass despite the rest of the defense being fooled & having to make up a ton of ground coming from the wrong side of the play, also made a TD saving tackle on an opponent who just thought he had turned the corner and had nothing but 60 yards of daylight in front of him. He didn't count on the flash of green that bumped him OOB with ease at about the 35

Like watching greased lightning relatively to everyone else on the field, could probably start for our varsity right now (and we're 3-0 so far with only 14 pts allowed & 11 scoreless qtrs out of 12 possible, it's not like we're awful or anything).

Winter should be even more fun. I'm told his real skill is basketball, that football is just something he's giving a try for fun. I hope he's enjoying himself, because I was certainly happy to pay $4 to watch him play.

re Credit Card numbers.

When I give my Visa Debit to the chick working at McDonalds, and I temporarily lose sight of it for a moment.....this is like having unprotected sex right? I might be fine for months, even years. But eventually using the card is going to result in an STD.

They used an e-mail address, which I haven't been able to dig anything up on. I'm not clear if it was a phone order or e-mail, because my wife was dealing with the store. Something they did make the store think twice though.

For lunch, today, I am eating a chicken mushroom salad sandwhich. My wife found and then foraged a chicken mushroom growing on a stump of a tree in a park near our home while walking our dog yesterday. This is the second time my wife has foraged a chicken mushroom in our neighborhood.

The sandwhich is tasty.
