Where in the World is Bob Saget?

The back of your kneecap (the crease found at the back of your leg on the other side of the knee)
of course there is another definition

The place a stupid tick bit me at an outdoor swim meet. I was surprised it hurt as much as it did.

The news teaser just now was:

Why using your cell phone during the night is not good for your sleep. Find out why on tomorrows morning news.

I think I can figure that one out on my own. Oy.

Welcome to Canada.
De-icing is SOP for up to 6 months/year.

This current Calgary snowstorm is not usual, however.
We're all talking about it.

I never expected such...

COLD WELCOME!

YEAAAAAH!

OK, so it was 98 on Monday, 97 yesterday, 100 today. It is supposed to be 98 tomorrow, and ONLY 95 on Half-day Friday...!!!!!

That sums what we're having here all days in my hometown.
But.. then.. rain drops the temps a lot.. and we're getting a LOT OF RAIN lately. (and hurricane coming our way)

 

[Cesar R M]

Facebook friend just posted a pic from Aulani. *sigh*

Is that a hopeful sigh or envious sigh?

We're getting all that weather tomorrow. Of course, the one night that I plan to go watch a football game..

Time to buy a battery UPS or power generator?

 

[Gabe1]

The weather finally calmed down and we prayed and we were spared. They say three "unconfirmed" touchdowns. If you see damage, I think that confirms something! It all seemed to be going away from us then the first "touchdown" was 25 miles away through farmland when the weather pattern changed and put us in its path.

We took shelter when it looked to be getting dark as night. The second "touchdown" was ten miles away and damaged their high school and a housing community. Then we prayed some but we didn't get any storm, just a light rain and wind. Less than ten minutes later a third "touchdown" happened ten miles on the other side of us through more farmland. It totally skipped over my city. Thank the man upstairs.

Oh my goodness!

And yes, Thank God seems fitting.

Is the accessibility option on an iPhone? I need to know more about this. Most things I can enlarge but other things like Twitter doesn't nor does text messages.

My farsightness started when I turned 40. My distant vision was always pretty good, I had glasses for when my vision slipped when I was over tired or had a lot of eye strain but rarely need to wear them. When I was pregnant with my DS my vision went to 20/20 and stayed that way after he was born. My ophthalmologist said he has seen that happen before but didn't have an explanation for it beyond Yay!

You pushed so hard that you fixed your own eyes?

Ours is running as I post.

Same here, after vancouver.. I swear I cant tolerate heat as good as before lol XD

yikes! scary stuff!!! D:

Well I am sorry for the delays but actually glad you got to see snow. Everyone should get to see it once. And that is enough.

I still need to TOUCH snow before I make a full personal opinion
As for cold freezing air that hit you like daggers.. had plenty of these at Tracy's arm and Skagway.

Curse that lamp that is in the way of the glorious sunset! XD

Just send some this way, please!

The funny thing is that I'm probably the only student who can say that and get away with it. I've had this guy for a semester already (Accounting 1) and was kind of the teacher's pet. It became pretty clear when he wouldn't call on me and ask 20 questions like he would other students. Then one day when we were doing group work and I was using a slightly different method than he uses and when he came around he's just like, "Whatever, I trust you; do it your way." It's not the first time he's called on me and my answer's been, "I'm really not sure, could you explain this?" or asked him to repeat the question because he's going so quickly. It is the first time that he's stopped class when I've said something. I think the class was happy because we ended really early. The guy next to me was even happier because he probably would have gotten called on next. Sometimes being the teacher's pet has its perks

Until classmates start to hate you and call you exactly that. D:

What the heck? Triplicate post.

Pretty sure y'all don't want to hear about my a/c issues three times.

So ... how 'bout them Jays?
If they hadn't had the worst record in b-ball in August, they'd still be in the hunt.

(P.S. - If that worst record August stat isn't entirely correct, blame Hubby. He's the one who quoted it to me earlier today.)

The cold must have made your keyboard keys sticky!

Can someone please show me where wally is as ive looked for ever and still cant find him

top left area.. next by the table

Professionals will steal it. Copyrighted or not. The story is that easy to tweak.

It's just that I've had this thing in my head for years and can't wait to see a reaction to it. Even if professionals tries to steal it, they would only know the general gist of the story and can not possibly come out the way I have it playing out in my head, so when I do it it will also be unique but it would be more unique if I do if first.

The thing is as short as it can be and still be called a full length feature... Maybe 40/45 minutes total. And just 4 characters in one set location from beginning to end.

pros dont steal.. they "Reference".

Alrighty-right!
I be gone...!!!

That dude's acting works on my last nerve. *skin crawls* He should never ever be in the same room as Tom.

Uh Oh! Hope that hurricane goes back out to sea.

 

[Gabe1]

Is that a hopeful sigh or envious sigh

My take on it is envious. Her friend in Hawaii and she is in classes and doing homework.

My mother and I always joke and facepalm at the acting of that guy.. no idea how he got popular.
He really tried WAY TOO HARD to look badass.
always sideways to the camera.. never looking straight to the people..etc..etc..

As for the hurricane.. who knows.. its the 4th hurricane that as had a similar path.
80% of them go to the sea.. 15% of them go upwards towards Baja, and only 5% go straight in.

my hometown is heavily protected by big mountains.

My take on it is envious. Her friend in Hawaii and she is in classes and doing homework.

I think your quote was broken by adding the text before the end quote code.

Anyway, I suppose she might be.
But let's not forget that she had a WDW trip recently.

The accessibility menu is great. I have it set for mono audio too since I plug it into a portable speaker and you'll end up hearing only one side of the music, as if you left one earbud in. I also have the animation level turned down since it gives me a headache to watch it.

You can also try the Zoom feature. When turned on, you double tap with three fingers to zoom in. Then you use three fingers to move around. To adjust zoom, double tap with three fingers and then drag. The zoom option is the second one down on the accessibility menu.

Oh Wow! Guess this why they offer classes on this stuff. Thank you Teach!

It's still steeling according to how I see it.

At UCF, in my film classes, I met Edward Sanchaz. He was also the president of the UCF Cinematographer Association, which I was a member. He had the club produce a short film about someone winning the lottery at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars from money he got from his family. A girl (named Kate) I was friendly with who was in my screenwriting classes and the club worked after school every day helping him edit it the project. He transferred to USC (University of Southern California) the following semester. A few years later, I see his name all over the news and media for writing, producing, and directing the Blair Witch Project. He even used the same troupe of improv actors who from Orlando (who were unknown).

I remember he had the idea for Blair Witch even when he was at UCF. He had this idea of not fully developing the script, but having a vague outline and having improv actors fill in the rest spontaneously on the set. If you look at the acting credits, you will see that the names of the actors and the same names as the characters they play. This was intentional because some of the scariest moments in the movie were not acting. Ed had a sick sense of humor. He played practical jokes with the actors. In one scene, a character wigs out because she sees a dead bird or something to that effect. The truth is that they really used a dead bird and failed to tell the actors this. So, the reaction you see from the character is really the actress freaking out the she wasn't told a dead bird was going to be used. That was just the beginning of pranks Ed would use on the cast. After a while, they just got fed up with it and wanted to quit. By then, Ed had apologized and said he was ready to call it a day, but there was a problem. He was lost (so he claimed). When he broke the news to them of being lost, he made sure he cameras were on. A real melt down took place, with the actors absolutely furious. That meltdown was used as actual footage. Of course, after all the tears and a super "performance", Ed turned off the camera and told them he wasn't really lost.

The whole first person style and of Steady Cam was never done before Blair Witch. That style is still being copied over and over again. To me, that's steeling. Can't film makers be original? Why are new films being produced that are still trying to copy what he did? No matter how much they try to copy, notice none come out as good. It's because of those "other" things Ed did, which, by the way, is very morally questionable.

The name of my final screenplay project for the class we shared was The Utopian Project. In class, we would read over every 20 pages (of around 100 pages) we wrote at a time to the class (which had just 10 people in it) and then have a group discussion about it. He was well familiar with the name of my script. I wonder if this stuck in his head when he named Blair Witch as Blair Witch Project...

There's a lesson about originality and copying ("steeling") somewhere in this post if you look hard enough.

Oh, and my screenplay for that class was the best. No other work held so much attention with such suspense and wanted reactions than my script did!

Are you even reading what you're writing?
if it was "stealing".. we wouldn't have films like we have today. There are formulas and styles.. you cant be always "original".
almost 99% of the movies always follow a pattern.
Infact... some ancient dude (not sure if it was Plato or another famous greek figure) already had mentioned ALL THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES and STRUCTURES of the theatre scenes.

I see your point. But how many movies can they make about people getting lost in the words with a camera that is later found?

Ok, how's this. Remember all the Star Wars clones that came out after Star Wars trying to cash in? Do you remember the name of any single one of them?

In a way, you can say my idea copies from the Breakfast Club - a simple story involving a few characters that unfolds over a single set from beginning to end. But that's all you can say is similar to Breakfast Club. The story and characters are completely different. That could be easily stolen just like the idea of a group of friends going out in the woods with a camera and disappearing has over and over again.

Let me back-track. Technically, it's not stealing. But, in my non-legal opinion, it is very much the same as steeling.
