The bed-titling thing I already do, what with my pillows, and I control the main source of my light from my bed anyway so I've got that covered. As for noise, I usually play some white noise or something akin to that (Merzbow usually) on my iPod through headphones or even through my stereo when nobody's home. I suppose I could do with a darker room though my curtains do let a lot of light in.

If you want to try something other than white noise try a fan, you don't have to have it blowing hard, they use hardly any power.
You could have a pedestal fan near your bed or one of these.


I put this on my bedside table point it so it isn't blowing on me and it covers most noise, barely uses any power, and i sleep really well.
That could be a little more comfortable than headphones and won't fall out of your ear plus it will give some air circulation.

Depends on what the test is about.

The most simple answer would be, retake if possible.

You should contribute the class during the lesson, do all the work you've been given and try to make a good impression. Teachers take that into consideration when it's time to grade you.

As Alex said, retaking the test would also be really good, but there is a chance that that won't work. (the teacher might say that it's unfair for the others).

Try to do projects too.

Assuming you're writing another test, then actual studying should help you a lot. It's not about listening in class, it's about training it at home. If you're seriously in deep sh*t, you should take notes and try your best to take the class' information home.

Good luck.

Not really worded into a question, so I'll break it down for the tl;dr crew - what I do and when can I sleep to reduce the groggy feeling I get when I get up due to poorly planned sleep? I can work on much less, but will I feel better?

I sleep like a baby whenever it's storming. Perhaps rainymood.com for some ambient sound could help? I don't know, everyone's different. Might help, might not.

If it's just the groggy feeling that's bothering you, then shotgun a few Mountain Dews when you wake up.

I'm guessing you missed the test or slept through it? Try not skipping class, paying attention in class, staying awake in class, sitting in the front row of seats in class, etc. If your teacher will let you make it up or retake it, then do that. Hell, if it's multiple choice ABCD, you should get around a 25 just guessing on every question.
If you just really don't know the subject, try doing all of the homework, and going over the lesson yourself a few times at home. If you still don't understand something after that, look it up online. If it's geometry, then just memorize the formulas.

It's already been mentioned but I'd like to stress it. Sleepy Time is an amazing sleep calculator. I use it when I have something important to do the next day and always wake up feeling refreshed. After waking up there's not much you can do but take a cold shower and eat a refreshing breakfast.

Suck up to the teacher, but don't make it obvious. Do your work well for the next two weeks or so, fly below the radar, and hope that they think you've improved. You should improve anyways, but you don't want your teacher to hold that 0 against you if you can't improve.

Hey I have a Rebel T3i and record in 1920x1080 24fps, but when I try to edit the footage in Premiere Pro - the video lags. Anybody know how to fix this problem?

Also, if you'd had to choose one, would you choose Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro? And Why?

Anybody know good sites on tutorials strictly for shooting videos with a Rebel T3i?

[Senax]

Have there ever been a nuclear bomb used in a conflict or are they just used as "threats"?

EDIT: Nevermind i got it answered

The first thing I'd try, if you haven't already, is to render the work area (Sequence > Render Entire Work Area), which could help. On the hardware side, what's the spec of the computer you're using? The lag could be the computer struggling to keep up with what you're asking it to do. Premiere will need a minimum of 2gb of RAM - ideally 4gb, or more if possible - and will work best with separate scratch disks (Settings > Scratch Disks).

As for Final Cut vs Premiere, I use Premiere pretty much exclusively as a lot of my work is done on PC, but when I've used Final Cut it's always struck me as remarkably similar. I haven't used Final Cut X yet though, which is apparently something of a step back from what I've heard. Adobe get my vote here.

Shooting video with the Rebel T3i / 600D won't be much different to shooting with any other Canon camera, so many tutorials will be relevant even if they use a different model. I don't use tutorials myself so I can't really recommend any sites, but the forums at DVInfo.net are a great place to start if there's something specific you need to ask about.

No, it doesn't.

One means they're in the Busted group (which means B&, as we know), another means they've received 5 warnings, which is a remnant of the old system of positive and negative stars (again, led to a ban).

It just depends on how the mod who banned the dude went about it.

It's most probably your computer, it's normal though. I'd personally recommend FCP X, it's what I use and I'm extremely happy with it.

About the tuts, search on YouTube. I'm sure you'll find something.

People claim it's strict here nowadays. Christ, you could get 4 stars for having an oversized signature back in the day. Ask Andy.

From what I heard, it's not as busy, but you can still find some servers. Again, I haven't seen for myself, but a friend told me a few months ago back in January.
