(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ … that will bring on a ‘whatever’).
(8) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying @%#$ YOU!
(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.
This is a posting of our Public Domain Film Library. We have these titles available on broadcast masters for clients to use in productions as stock footage, as standalone programming for broadcast, as content for internet based publishing, or as content for dvd releases.
One of my projects this month was to edit together a short promo for a friend and client, Dennis Bain. Dennis is an original thinker, and a storyteller. He has spent many years pondering the meaning of life, and other stuff. The video we did was built from a tape that was shot at one of his recent seminars. Did I mention he gives seminars? Fortune 500 companies hound him to show up and share his expertise. The editng is mine, my friend John Coleman shot the video www.JohnColemanmedia.com and the material is pure Dennis Bain www.DennisBain.org I hope you enjoy the video!
About 2 months ago, I noticed that The Broadcast Store had a BTS Quadra for sale. Emmett and I went to Burbank to have a look at it. This is how it looked in BCS’s showroom. It turns out that the machine needed parts that were not available, and so it was actually affordable as a parts machine. So some of the parts may be available for sale if your Quadra has a problem.
All of this means that we are still looking for the Quadra that fits into our business. If you hear of one for sale, please let us know.
And by the way, this is probably the last thing BCS sold before closing their doors.
It came together nicely. Addrianne Machina and Kirsten Wright from TornadoMktg.com were our first two presenters. They gave us the basics, the why , and how. (That’s me, sitting in the middle, operating the computer for the IMAG)
During the intermission, I set up a Wordpress site for JohnColemanMedia.com live in real time, using cPanel and Fantastico. After the break, Kyra Reed from Blog101book.com tuned us into the psychology of the blogosphere, namely sharing, not selling.
“People are feeling a bit of squeeze and are looking for ways to save money without cutting back their spending,” said Barry Boone, owner of currentcodes.com and naughtycodes.com.
Web sites like currentcodes.com list discount codes for a number of online retailers from Amazon to Zappos. If you find a code to an online store you’re shopping at, just copy it and paste it into the “promotional code” box in the checkout area of the retailer’s Web site.
According to a recent survey conducted by retailmenot.com, 63% of respondents said they would not make a purchase if there was no deal attached. The coupon site expects 4 million visitors in May, up 260% from a year ago, according to co-founder Bevan Clark.
Clark says the savings shouldn’t end there. He urges online shoppers to check a comparison service likepricegrabber before making a purchase, and then go to a coupon sharing site “to really stack on the savings,” and lastly, watch for any future price drops with a price protection service like priceprotectr.com. Many retailers will refund the difference if the price of a product is reduced within two weeks after the purchase is made.

It was a good day at Electric Pictures. Our Telecine Engineer suggested a modification to our telecines that will give us even better results from red prints.
By red prints, I mean a film print that has turned to a red or magenta shade. The blue and green layers of color are fading, and to the eye, the print looks red.
The mod is now done on TK1 and I must say I am very impressed. We were running a nice print of a production about Knott’s Berry Farm, located near here, in Buena Park, California. This film had faded pretty severely, and before we made the mod, we could not get very good results, even when using our Da Vinci color corrector.
I had thought that this particular film was beyond rescue. But now I am really excited that we can get such outstanding results.
