Meh. A good effort from Ms. Diaz, but my top 5 Cameron Diaz quotes still remain intact:
1. "It's cute when you meet young boys and they're bright red and breathing like they've run up the stairs, but they're just sitting outside the door. I've had phone calls in the middle of the night when I stay at hotels."
2. "Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image."
3. "I can spend hours in a grocery store. I get so excited when I see food, I go crazy. I spend hours arranging my baskets so that everything fits in and nothing gets squashed. I'm really anal about it, actually."
4. "I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs."
5. "I'm a pretty girl who's a model who doesn't suck as an actress."
You'll need an analog-to-DV converter, either a TV or graphics board or an external device. I use the ADS Instant Video 2.0, which retails for $99 (shop around for a better-quality product...this one is crap). Check out this article at Tom's Hardware for lots of good info about hardware options.
If you don't have a long-term need for such a device, you can try a video conversion service. Tobits.com charges $25 for up to 2 hours of footage.
Really fascinating. Its like a real-life Half-Life.
As a teen growing up near Lake Michigan outside Chicago, my friends and I explored cement storm drains that led from the top of several hundred foot high ravines down to the shoreline. The sound of waves echoed up the tubular drain. Usually, we'd emerge on a rocky shoreline. Depending on the weather/season/time of day or just randomly, the end of the drain was underwater....always freaky.
So many roads I tell you...
New York to San Francisco
All I want is one
to take me home
From the high road to the low
So many roads I know
So many roads, so many roads.
From the land of the midnight sun
where ice blue roses grow
'long those roads of gold and silver snow
Howlin' wide or moanin low
So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul.
Six models of presentation of women scientists in feature filmsWith a qualitative sociological film interpretation of approximately 60 feature films, it is possible to determine the following six stereotypical portrayals of women scientists in feature films:
1. The old maid
2. The male woman
3. The naïve expert
4. The evil plotter
5. The daughter or assistant
6. The lonely heroine
'the male woman'....Dr. Frank-N-Furter, perhaps?
Ohhh my...Big fat F- for writenroll ("did not follow directions, failed to grasp goals and scope of project")
Oh hey, how about
Life Story. Juliet Stevenson stars as Rosalind Franklin, the molecular biologist who went head-to-head with Watson (oddly, portrayed by Jeff Goldblum) and Crick in the search for the structure of DNA.
Can't vouch for the + vs - portrayal in these flicks, but they all featured female scientists in major roles:
Congo
Contact
Gorillas in the Mist
Jurassic Park
The Lost World
Medicine Man
The Net
Outbreak
The Saint
Sphere
Tears of the Sun
Twister
Volcano
IMDB and Drew's Scripts-o-Rama might prove insightful.
Uh oh. The newest volume of Oxyrhynchus Papyri contains a fragmentary papyrus of Revelation. This papyrus assigns to the Beast: 616, rather than the usual 666.
Bad omen: guess this means 10 more years of God-awful horror flick remakes to correct the erroneous numerical assignment.
So, this is a formal study to rate your music preferences, but they blatantly show the number of times a song has been downloaded...and that number is static (the numbers haven't changed since my last visit a few weeks ago), so the experiment is to determine whether the posted number of downloads of a song influences how you rate the quality of said song and possibly whether more people will jump on the bandwagon and download the songs with the highest downloads more than the songs with just a few downloads.
I ain't gonna be no starving students' stinkin lab monkey)or stinkin' students' starving lab monkey, as the case may be).
A carryover from my childhood...
Any hymn title (Amazing Grace, We Three Kings, O Come All Ye Faithful, Rock of Ages, How Great Thou Art) is tagged with 'under the sheets.' 25 years later, I still snicker my way through the holidays.
If you can find, install, configure and tweak the software you're looking for, it'll still look leke these line right hair, requiring you to playback the file and edit the document, which, as you are doing, you will realize, is the most efficient way of doing it in the first place.
Guess you could also try backward-engineering MacTalker for System 6, since its probably on your boss' desktop.
Meanwhile, not far from this tragedy, a Washington state town is setting the stage for a catastrophe of psychedelic proportions:
Washington Town to Get Giant Lava Lamp.
A local group -- the Soap Lake Giant Lava Lamp Project Incorporated -- has been working to turn Soap Lake into a tourist attraction by erecting a gargantuan, functional lava lamp.
For chrisakes, stop these people before the pedestal arrives.
I have always enjoyed the museum of jurassic technology
When I lived in L.A., I'd take out-of-towners to the Museum of Jurassic Technology for my own twisted amusement. They'd wander the beautifully-presented exhibits in silence, straining to find any rational connection between a Stink Ant from Cameroon and an intricately carved fruit-stone. We'd stumble out into daylight and I'd say 'really, after visiting the MJT, there's really no sense in visiting the hodge-podge collection at Getty...but we can go if you'd like.'
Anyway, consider a visit to Molvania.
