Define logline1/31/2024 Now, I'm seeing both in the current SHORT STORY comp. "In outer space, nobody can hear you scream." "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water." or even "Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Then again, some people suggeest a LOGLINE could actually be more like the Poster Line or Movie Positioning Statement. "Young boy leaves the farm to meet his destiny and take part in a galactic revolution." Or something like that. I recall he used mate Lucas' STAR WARS as an example. I once read an interview with Speilberg where he suggested that anything more than 25 words meant the story wasn't clear. I thought that a SYNOPSIS was a more detailed outline of the story, anything from 7 Lines Format (Protagonist, Situation, Defining Moment, Nadir, Climax, Resolution) to a full 20 page fine outline. Now, I always thought that that a maximum two sentence summation of a film was a LOGLINE. (Well, I reckon if you can stretch two remotely grammatically correct sentences to half a page, you'll probably be DQed anyway!) Most of the comps at NYCMMM ask for "a synopsis of no more than 2 sentences or half a page (!)"

Those who have created any bootable install disks for OS X will need to recreate them with the new installers. The new installers are signed with a certificate that expires on 7 February 2023, so it will be quite a few years before Mac users are affected again. ![]() Scroll down to the OS X installer you want and click Download. Enter your App Store password if prompted. Open the App Store app by choosing Apple menu > App Store.Ĭlick the Purchased tab.These installers have names like Install OS X El Capitan and Install OS X Yosemite. Delete any old OS X installers in the Applications folder or in other locations (be sure to look on external hard drives too if the App Store detects an old installer, it won’t let you get a new one).Happily, this is an easy problem to fix ahead of time: But if youĭownloaded an OS X installer in case of trouble, you may be in for a surprise the next time you try to use it. Most affected apps have already been updated with the new certificate. This certificate expired on 14 February 2016, causing error dialogs and preventing some apps from launching. When used to sign an app, the certificate enables OS X to confirm that the app has not been corrupted or modified by an attacker.

Opera speeddial1/30/2024 For margin size I took inspiration from the default settings of, which created 180 px icons that had 156 px images + 12 px margin around them (12/156 = 7.7% of base image). Source file again with transparent background, but with a margin added. In the section “Favicon for Windows 8 – Tile” I left the default “Use the original favicon as is” and again set the tile color to #ffffff.įor compression, I had “High quality, low compression factor.”įor scaling algorithm, Lanczos seemed to do the best job with my image. In my case, the image had plain white background, so in the section “Favicon for iOS – Web Clip” I chose “Add a solid, plain background to fill the transparent regions” and set the color to #ffffff. Icons for web clips on iOS home screen need backgrounds and handling of them depends on the specifics of the image. The image fills the space edge-to-edge – this is important to get the best quality for tiny sizes like 16 x 16 px. Source file with transparent background, no margin. To get the best results, I ran it twice and used a combination of images from the two sets. Luckily, I discovered Real Favicon Generator that does it in an automated way, meaning, it does both the image files and the HTML that goes with them. Altogether about 20 different image files, which would take half a day to create manually with an image editor. Turns out, there is a wide variety of favicons in use: the tiny 16 by 16 px ones in address bars and bookmark lists, medium sized ones used as icons for web page shortcuts on desktops, and 180 by 180 px and larger images used by Opera Speed Dial, Windows 8 tiles etc. ![]() What Opera uses is basically a flavor of favicon, the tiny icon often seen in the title of tabs, next to page title text. Figuring out the way from Before to After was quite an effort. My site displayed the screenshot (the lower left image labeled Before), but I wanted it to show the icon (the lower center image labeled After). I noticed that some pages are displayed as screenshots, while others display a neat icon. Upon opening a new blank tab, it shows Speed Dial – large buttons that link to pages recently visited or deliberately added to Speed Dial.

Alisha keys unplugged1/30/2024 ![]() Keys’ live album is worthy of applause and also the perfect thing to tide us over until her next release. The matching folio to the album and DVD, celebrating Alicia Keys showstopping MTV Unplugged performance in 2005.14 wonderful moments of contemporary soul. Released in 2005, the album was part of the MTV Unplugged series and included songs from her very first 2 studio albums Songs In A Minor and The Diary Of Alicia Keys. But that’s the excitement of live music – it’s spontaneous, moving and yet still familiar. 5 Unplugged Released In 2005 Coming in next we have the only live album to make the list with Keys’ Unplugged. But sometimes, she lets that get the best of her, and once in a while, she does go a little overboard with the improvisations. ![]() Could Ciara put out an Unplugged album like Keys? Of course not. She isn’t just a face or a singer she’s a full-fledged musician. Keys proves what most people already knew – that she is a rarity among her breed today. Keys’ cover song isn’t quite as momentous as Carey’s, but is nonetheless a worthy attempt. The twosome performs an angelic rendition of the Rolling Stones song, “Wild Horses.” It sounds like Keys is following in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, when in 1992 she covered the Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There” and rode that cover all the way to the top of the charts. ![]() Levine’s already popped up on records with the Ying Yang Twins and Kanye West, so hearing him croon alongside Keys isn’t a stretch. Levine is clearly trying to pick up Justin Timberlake’s recently lost title as the “cool white guy” in hip-hop and R&B. Of course an Unplugged album isn’t complete without a duet, and Keys brings along the most in-demand, blue-eyed soul singer out right now: Maroon 5’s Adam Levine. The song is so vivid, it’s almost hard not to imagine this song in its live format. Keys doesn’t just run through old material, she gets the crowd moving in their seats with her upbeat ode to famous black couples in “Unbreakable:” “We could fight like Ike and Tina/Or give back like Bill and Camille/Be rich like Oprah and Stedman/Or instead struggle like Flow and James Evans/Cause he ain’t no different from you and she/Ain’t no different from me.” It’s an uplifting dedication to love and ambition with Keys working her magic on the piano while her band builds up the song throughout the verse to get to the hook, where Keys chants, “Unbreakable!” Keys makes the song a statement and manages to make it sound like a blast at the same time.
