Lazily, I woke up. I honestly hate having church at 9:00. Fasting for me is harder, the days are longer creating more migraines to pop into moi's brain. After church I went home, baked cookies, kept warm in the new snuggie and was yelled at by my seven year old brother to either start Halo 3, play it or watch him play Halo 3. At 4:15 I went to our Ward Choir practice, came home got, got yelled out for putting red food coloring in Jakob's noodles (I was going to put some in mine & if he didn't want to eat it, Ian was willing to), made another soup and thought about ideas for a Snuggie Commercial.
Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are produced by recording images from the
world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or special effects.
Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema gives motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue.
Traditional films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.
The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) had historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, photo-play, flick, and most commonly, movie. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema, and the movies.
It amazes me how people consider it 'Ok' to let there child (At the age of 13) see any movie that is PG-13 because they are 13. Lets get it straight, not all PG-13 movies are 'okay'. Last night my parents went to see 'Yes Man'. They said they should of walked out of it, with nudity and cussing it was not appropriate. I know several people that have, are wanting or are going to see the movie. To some people this is considered the normal, and if it is all I can say is wow.
Dating is any social activity undertaken by, typically, two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as their partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity. Traditional dating activities include entertainment or a meal. 
In many cultural traditions, a date may be arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, acquaintance, or professional matchmaker. Recently internet dating has become popular.
Although dating etiquette in Western culture has become more relaxed during the twentieth century, there are considerable differences between social and personal values. For example, when an activity costs money (for example, a meal), traditionally the man was expected to pay; but in recent times the practice of "going Dutch" (splitting the expenses) has become common and acceptable.

My Lunches are the same. I sit with the same people, at the same table, we talk about similar things; I love it. Together, I think of us as a big giant family. Lets list the basics of who is at the table, shall we?
Before I start, I have some quick photos to share. First, Hazel. Aftering reading Dewi's post I became inspired to add a real unico
rn horn to Hazel's head.
The word "dinner" comes from the French word dîner, the "main meal of the day", from Old French disner. A dinner can also be a more sophisticated meal, such as a banquet.
Dinner typically takes place in the afternoon, but due to changing work patterns in developed countries (like the United States), dinnertime has slowly moved later in the day. In the United States, dinnertime is eaten as late as 7 or 8 PM, with two notable exceptions (Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner), which are still eaten during the traditional afternoon time.
Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of this precipitation is called snowfall.
Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.

Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (approx 10μm in diameter) freeze. These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures colder than 4°C because, in order to freeze, a few molecules in the liquid droplet need to get together by chance to form an arrangement close to that in an ice lattice; then the droplet freezes around this 'nucleus'. Experiments show that this 'homogeneous' nucleation of cloud droplets only occurs at temperatures colder than 4°C.[1] In warmer clouds an aerosol particle or 'ice nucleus' must be present in (or in contact with) the droplet to act as a nucleus. Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei is poor - what we do know is they are very rare compared to that cloud condensation nuclei which liquid droplets form on. Clays, desert dust and biological particles may be effective,[2] although to what extent is unclear. Artificial nuclei include silver iodide and dry ice, and these form the basis of cloud seeding.
Once a droplet has frozen, it grows in the supersaturated environment (air saturated with respect to liquid water is always supersaturated with respect to ice) and grows by diffusion of water molecules in the air (vapor) onto the ice crystal surface where they are deposited. Because the droplets are so much more numerous than the ice crystals (because of the relative numbers of ice vs droplet nuclei) the crystals are able to grow to hundreds of micrometres or millimetres in size at the expense of the water droplets (the Wegner-Bergeron-Findeison process). The corresponding depletion of water vapour causes the droplets to evaporate, meaning that the ice crystals effectively grow at the droplets' expense. These large crystals are an efficient source of precipitation, since they fall through the atmosphere due to their mass, and may collide and stick together in clusters (aggregates). These aggregates are snowflakes, and are usually the type of ice particle which falls at the ground. [3] The exact details of the sticking mechanism remains controversial (and probably there are different mechanisms active in different clouds), possibilities include mechanical interlocking, sintering, electrostatic attraction as well as the existence of a 'sticky' liquid-like layer on the crystal surface.
The individual ice crystals often have an hexagonal symmetry. Although the ice is clear, scattering of light by the crystal facets and hollows/imperfections mean that the crystals often appear white in colour due to diffuse reflection of all spectrum of light by the small ice particles.
The day started out with waking up at 10:00, after phar-taying (If you count it as staying at home and drinking Diet Mt. Dew) until 1:00 the night before. Yes, I did not go to any parties. I just watched that big ball fall (Which The Clinton Family [weird] signaled to fall) which I didn't really see at all. Then we watched the Pussycat Dolls (A girl-group where everyone wheres as little clothing as they can and dance as only one girl sings) dance around they stage and other stars lip-singing.
Snow skiing is a group of sports using skis as primary equipment. Skis are used in conjunction with boots that connect to the ski with use of a binding. Although snowboarding shares the general characteristics of skiing sports, it evolved from surfing and skateboarding and so is not considered a type of skiing. The posture assumed in snowboarding is a side on action whereas the skiing posture is primarily front facing. Skiing can be grouped int
o two general categories. Nordic skiing is the oldest and includes sport that evolved from skiing as done in Scandinavia. Nordic style bindings attach at the toes of the skier's boots but not at the heels. Alpine skiing includes sports that evolved from skiing as done in the Alps. Alpine bindings attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boots. As with many disciplines, such as Telemark skiing, there is some crossover. However, binding style and history tend to dictate whether a style is considered Nordic or Alpine. Thus, in view of its lack of a locking heel, and its roots in Telemark, Norway, Telemark is generally considered a Nordic discipline.
