I just didn't want to pay for expensive software when I didn't know how much I'd use it. You can accomplish the same thing in Movie Maker (but it's windows so that doesn't help you much) because it let's you "see" the beat of the music, but you're still doing it manually. OK, I guess this was more of an informative post than a helping post. Sorry I couldn't do better! There is an option for movie maker to do it automatically. It's not as good as what you can do manually though. What about adobe premiere? There is also adobe premiere elements. I think you can get it for $40 or less. It's often bundled with photoshop elements. I haven't confirmed this, but I'm pretty sure it does the music thing too. I know the have photoshop for macs so i'd guess they'd have premier. Again, I haven't checked on this. For all you PC users- you should have movie maker already on you computer. It's a lot of fun. I suggest an $8 add on called rehan pan zoom effects.

It doesn't smell like poop though fortunately. But it does smell bad. I'm so ashamed of myself for posting all this

Here are my stuffed microbes packed when we had to move to a new lab.

I don't even notice the smell anymore. I guess I think my e. coli are kind of cute. I mean, they are blue & in the shape of texas & my face I also have a stuffed e. coli on my desk. Mike gets them for free, so I have about 20 giant stuffed microbes. A lab has found a way to make e. coli smell like roses. The funny part is that e. coli makes up the majority of the dry weight of poop so you really can have S$%@ that smells like roses. OK, I'm worried I'm grossing people out.

I am putting 3 in each OOT bag. I just have a line on the back. It was the most plain standard one on vistaprint. I am giving them to guests to send to people or keep. I don't plan on having them send any to me. Although I love getting mail & think it's a cute idea. I've just spent more than I want on postage so far. With 100 free postcards, I will still have many leftover. I plan on putting them on a table at the AHR.

they won't find it by your name as long as you don't use your real or full name.

Here is mine

The file was too big to email. I'm going to see what website my friend uses to share files. i think it's called megaupload.

I like the "i'm from texas, what country are you from." I need to work on mine today. I'll have a little texas thing in there too.

I guess it will depend on your guests, but since we did a big dinner and entertainment package and made a full 5 day party, most people really wanted to do the full package. Good luck! are your guest flying from london? I would think this would make a big difference for length of stay. My guests have a 2 1/2 hour flight so they are more likely to just make it a long weekend.

Stupid question...how did you attach the pic to them? Does Staples carry sticky paper that you can print the image on and attach? Or did you use spray adhesive? Free draw them all on the boxes?? i taped them on. i tried glue stick but it didn't work. I think stephanie printed hers on carstock & stuck them on in a better way. I printed mine on printer paper & just taped them. So each edge has a strip of tape on the outside.

You could put in a beachy background so it's less business like.

They came in this weekend & they are so cute! I stuck them on the lip balm tonight. I'll take a picture later. I need to go to sleep. My first aid kits make me smile every time I look at them. With stephanie's funny bandaid picture, the medicine packets & now pucker up. I never expected making first aid kits to be so much fun. I'll mail the labels out tomorrow. I found it's easiest to cut them to the right size & then stick them on. Pucker up!

Some visiting professor was giving a talk at a university near me. He has a USB drive with his talk on it. When he hooked it up to the computer, it instantly started to open up all his pictures, which included some porn. So there he is in front of an auditorium with his porn projected on the screen. I heard he didn't react & just proceeded with his talk.

Have you tried to negotiate this? I think a 5 night minimum really could be a problem. I don't think any of my guests could stay that long. A minimum would definitly have made it impossible for some really good friends & even some family to make the trip.

Let us know what happens too. As far as I know, only one person tried. Maybe the way it works is you sometimes you get them & other times you lose them.

I have no idea what it is all about.

I think I found a solution to getting backgrounds to people. I have a powerpoint file of different beach backgrounds with light boxes for text. You will need to make your text fit in the boxes available. Otherwise you can use on of the backgrounds that is all light. There are 3 beach pictures to pick from. I can not attach the file. I think it's too big. PM me your email address & I will send you the file. It's big, so make sure you send me an email address that can accept a big file.

Are the dresses this style or just the colors? Those would make for cool TTD pics.

Yeah, I'm not making menu cards so you are on your own for that one

Your website is so impressive. The pictures are great & it is so informative.
