News and Notes -

Ok - this week's episode was full of interruptions, but I have hopefully got those edited out. Also, it took me until the second try to figure out to "flip" the camera so that the writing was correct when I showed a label on the screen! Oops! Next week will be better. At least I think this week's audio and video are in sync! Please let me know if they are not. Also, I am not sure what that funny background noise is. Sorry!

Let's move back the UFO contest one week so I can give away prizes next week, too!! So if you haven't gotten those UFOs in, please post in the UFO thread.

Found out about big technical difficulties with several of the last few episodes. The audio and video are out of sync. I figured out this was an iMovie issue, and I am researching how to fix this issue for future episodes and how to correct the issue in the back episodes. I will put up a blog post with more details and update you there.

Racing Hearts prizes were mailed out.
