After days of studying, I can safely say that I did really well on my math midterm today. I mean, yeah, the stress just comes to you, but you gotta get used to it. Yes, Aaron. Stress can eat you alive. It's a true statement.

Sometimes you gotta say screw you stress and start living Fantastic job on the test Ana!! I know you did awesome. Took my AP Government exam yesterday and it was a breeze. Hoping for a nice 4

Those pictures are so CLEAR Martin! How did you do that?

I'm pretty sure the exiting storm system that went through the East had something to do with clearing the air, but those star shots are great.

Thanks guys. I just decreased the shutter speeds on my Nikon D5000 and found a nice flat surface. I really need to pick up a tripod.

Speaking of Cinco De Mayo, anyone heard of the show "How'd You Get So Rich"? TV Land has been advertising for months that the second season will premiere on Cinco De Mayo. Supposedly the episode on tonite is about Donald Trump, which should be interesting to see.

I have one question...why do you stretch your videos to 16:9? I know the videos are recorded in 4:3 but you use the yt:stretch=16:9 tag. I don't mean anything by this, but it looks weird.

So excited... it looks like I will be touring my NBC affiliate's studio and meet Glenn Schwartz in the coming weeks!

I like it a lot better, actually. I can't figure out how to get my clips in widescreen, nor am I redoing nearly 600 videos.

Neat! I could very easily tour mine as I've been by it on the south side hundreds of times, but then again, I don't know if they give tours.

They shouldn't be widescreen. If they recorded in 4:3 and the picture that comes into the TV itself is 4:3 (not if the TV stretches it to fill the screen), you should leave it be. 4:3 doesn't equal widescreen. Widescreen equals 16:9. The only way to get TWC in 16:9 is to get TWC HD. Otherwise, the picture is squished, and for lack of a better word, awkward.
