| Do you have a Flip Video camcorder? | | I love my Flip. Actually, I have two - one I bought and one I won. I have shot so many short videos but lately have been lazy in uploading them. There are so many videos I want to leave in my camcorder so to make them portable, that I have less room to shoot other stuff. So do you have a Flip? | |
| | over 700 views! | | Hooray!:)If you didn't already know, I entered a scholarship contest on YouTube for $1,000. The top ten most popular videos (determined by view counts on YouTube) move to the second round, where the sponsor of this contest, ScholarshipPoints.com and it's members vote for their favorite one. The contest ends September 5th, on September 8th, the top ten videos are chosen, and from September 8th to the 22nd, members of the website have to vote. On September 25th, the winner is chosen for the $1,000. And the nine runner-ups receive Flip Video camera camcorder things (they're really nifty).My video has been up on the site for about a week, and I'm currently the second most popular video in the contest out of the ten and counting already posted. I'm doing well for now, but the competition is getting creatively rough. So, I need your help.My goal right now is to reach 1,000 views or more by this Sunday. If you haven't already seen the video, follow this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72ySGbSou_0 And if you have, well, I thank you so much:)
You all have been such a GREAT help with this.
I can't thank you enough! | |

A fix for the gushing oil well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico has so far eluded scientists and engineers armed with technical know-how and high-tech robotic submarines.So one Boulder man is calling upon people from around the world to try a different, simpler tack: meditation."The basic concept is to try and get as many people to visualize that the valve is actually functioning and is working and closing," said Carl Fuermann, a staff member in the University of Colorado's Registrar Office.The Coast Guard estimates that 200,000 gallons of oil a day has been streaming into the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank after it was rocked by an explosion April 20.
