Likert? I don't even know 'er!
June 27, 2012
I'm narrowing down the services I could offer when I become self-employed. Is survey design and analysis a viable service for a one-person business to offer, or do clients only trust big research firms with that sort of thing?
I'm planning to leave my job later this year to pursue consulting, either for the short term or until I find a less dreadful job. I have extensive experience in my field as well as a related Master's degree, and I am narrowing down the services that I can provide to clients.
The thing I am best at and like the most is survey design and analysis. I would really enjoy creating effective surveys and other research tools for small businesses and other organizations in my field. For example, market research questionnaires, satisfaction questionnaires, maybe extend into focus groups, case studies, etc. Then, with that, I would provide a dashboard of results and detailed analysis.
I have experience in many types of research design as well as statistical analysis, and I have CITI/IRB training (though that will expire soon). I could build surveys in a product on my server (such as Lime Survey) or go with a premium SurveyMonkey plan, so the technology is not an issue either.
So I don't think it's a question of if I can do the work so much as will small businesses be interested the work? I'm not seeing many other one-person businesses that do this, but I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. My work would be less costly and more hands-on than a big research firm, and more accurate and effective than many in-house approaches… but is that enough to appeal to small businesses? Is this a worthwhile service for a one-person business to offer?
I do see the irony of using AskMe for this question instead of a serious survey.

It's all about your network. I have several clients who would benefit from occasional work with someone like you, but I would want to be familiar with your work before recommending you to them. Are there people who you've worked with in the past who might bring you on to projects like this? If you can partner with other consultants in marketing/strategy areas, you may find plenty of work - you can likely even work remotely with companies in other parts of the country/world.

On occasion I team up with solo folks and very small companies who do this kind of work in order to submit a competitive proposal. Without exception, they are boutique firms with an extremely specific niche.
I warn you that not all clients will appreciate your rigor, nor will they understand your statistical analysis. Worse, they may not even value it. Compared to you, I only dabble in this work and am often frustrated by clients' failure to grasp/accept such basics as sampling techniques and how to avoid biasing focus group participants. As you think about your target markets, consider whether their outlook comports with your professional standards.
If I were you, I'd try identifying associations that serve a field that interests you where relative performance data would be welcome. There are plenty that can't provide such information or would like to do periodic research, e.g., on salary trends or various operating parameters specific to that industry. Then you could position your work as a potential membership benefit and/or an earned revenue opportunity for the association. Moreover, if you were strategic it would introduce your work to all of the enterprises in that field while, at the same time, setting you up for a regular recurring gig. You might get started by working with the association to create some kind of industry dashboard. One way you might identify some likely candidates is to find out from your local CVB what associations are meeting in your city over the next few months (including state chapters of national groups). A little advance work might lead to a meeting at the conference.
Good luck!

I do think there is a market for this for small-mid sized companies but agree that it is all about how you market yourself.
I worked in internal communications for a company with 500 employees. I worked with a large survey design company (but would have preferred an individual consultant or small company) to design an all-employee survey that could be used each fiscal quarter.
Many companies also do a semi-annual 'pulse' survey to measure employee satisfaction.
I think it would be worth developing some marketing materials, maybe start using twitter, a blog, develop some infographics if you can. Reach out to the HR departments at companies you want to target. Companies need your help to get data that is useful to them! People do not know how to design surveys. A lot of companies I've worked at will use a different survey each time, then try to compare results with two surveys that asked questions completely differently. They just don't know what they're doing. What they want is a set of questions that will give them the data they're looking for, in a tool they can use themselves (ie SurveyMonkey).
I don't think there's necessarily a barrier in that you are a solo operation. In my experience, I would often prefer to work with an individual or smaller company.
Good luck!

i think you'll have a very hard time, if it's not impossible.
there are some great comments so far. take them to heart.
what you're proposing is something you might do after 15 to 20 years of business experience in that area. it's not just building a network, a network with the right people, it's the legitimacy that the BUSINESS experience gives you.
no one will care about your degree or your IRB cert or your publications. they will care about how many of these projects you've been able to pull of in the past without f-ing them up. the only credible way for them to know that is if someone kept giving you money for 10-20 years.

You might get some traction marketing yourself to state government agencies and nonprofit organizations that get federal grants. Evaluation is usually a requirement for those, but it's something in which the recipients don't necessarily have interest or skill.

In the museum world, we use one-person and small groups for this service. However, it's usually couched in a menu of broader services than just survey design and analysis; we usually want more total evaluation services than just one, so we're not left hanging. So you'll see a good example in
Randi Korn & Associates
(though they're actually a big group) or
PPD Research
(which is actually a very small group) - audience research and evaluation, exhibition evaluation, program evaluation...all of these are a bit different. The key is that I think you need some legitimacy understanding the differences to design and speak intelligently about them. The good news is there is a lot of crossover in the world of education and program evaluation, which is needed by most nonprofits (regardless of kind), government organizations, etc. If you're at all interested in the museum/heritage/cultural attraction field the go-to organization to get started learning is the
Visitor Studies Association
, and also here is their directory of
evaluation contractors
for further research.

TWSI is software that produces lexical substitutions in context for over 1000 frequent nouns. It processes English text. This functionality is realized by a supervised word sense disambiguation system, which is trained by sense-labeled occurrences of target words. A classification model is trained for each word, and used to decide which sense an unseen occurrence most likely belongs to. Associated with senses are lists of substitutions, which are injected into the text using inline annotation.
foma is a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers for various uses. It has specific support for many natural language processing applications such as producing morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes. It comes with an xfst-compatible interface and regular expression language. The library contains efficient implementations of all classical automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal, composition, and boolean operations. More advanced construction methods are also available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic, transducers from replacement rules, etc.
ACOPOST is a set of freely available POS taggers modeled after well-known techniques. The programs are written in C (aiming for extreme portability and code correctness/safety) and run under various Unix flavors (and probably even under Windows). ACOPOST currently consists of four taggers that are based on different frameworks: Maximum Entropy Tagger (MET), Trigram Tagger (T3, based on Hidden Markov Models), Error-driven Transformation-based Tagger (TBT or Brill Tagger), and Example-based tagger (ET).

Last Update on March 12, 2014 07:32 GMT
MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Asian stock markets sank today as recent falls in Chinese copper and iron prices added to jitters that the world's No. 2 economy is continuing to slow.
Market angst about China's economy has been fueled by weak exports for February, the government last week allowing the first-ever default in the domestic corporate bond market and the central bank permitting the tightly controlled yuan currency to weaken. China's economic growth of 7.7 percent last year was the lowest in two decades.
Benchmark U.S. crude oil fell below $100 a barrel. The dollar gained against the yen and was unchanged against the euro.
DETROIT (AP) -- There could be some legal potholes ahead for General Motors over its handling of a deadly defect in certain compact cars.
Word leaked of a criminal investigation yesterday and two congressional committees have opened probes into the matter.
The Justice Department is investigating whether GM broke any laws with its slow response to a problem with ignition switches in compact cars from model years 2003 to 2007. That's according to a person briefed on the matter. The probe is said to be handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York.
Spokesmen for the Justice Department and GM would not comment. The investigation was first reported by Bloomberg News.
At issue is why GM waited until February to recall 1.6 million older-model compact cars worldwide, even though it admitted knowing about the problem for a decade. The faulty ignition switches have been linked to 31 crashes and 13 deaths.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A plan to phase out government-controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and instead use mainly private insurers to backstop home loans has advanced in Congress.
The agreement by two key senators and a White House endorsement sent shares of Fannie and Freddie sinking Tuesday. Fannie stock fell $1.79, or more than 30 percent, to $4.03. Freddie dropped $1.48, or 26.8 percent, to $4.04.
The plan would create a new government insurance fund. Investors would pay fees in exchange for insurance on mortgage securities they buy. The government would become a last-resort loan guarantor.
President Barack Obama proposed an overhaul of Fannie and Freddie last year, but Congress has struggled to craft legislation. The government rescued the two mortgage giants with a $187 billion bailout, which they have repaid.
401 (k) FEES
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Labor Department has proposed a new rule that would make it easier for those with 401(k) retirement plans and their employers to locate just what fees and expenses are attached.
Department officials say the rule would update a 2012 rule on the same subject. But many disclosure forms offered since then have become too lengthy, complex and confusing.
There is a public comment period of 90 days. Then, the department will hold focus groups on the proposed new rule with those from financial firms offering such plans, with a particular focus on pension plans with fewer than 100 participants.
CHICAGO (AP) -- The agency that oversees public transportation in Chicago is suing American Airlines.
The suit claims that the airline has falsely claimed to buy "vast amounts of jet fuel" from a small office in a rural community to avoid paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes in the nation's third-largest city, where the actual work is done.
The lawsuit comes a year after the same agency -- the Regional Transportation Agency -- accused United Airlines in a lawsuit of doing the same thing in the same small town.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Deborah Hersman, the chairman of the nation's transportation accident investigations board, is leaving to become the president and CEO of the National Safety Council.
Hersman blogged that her nearly 10 years at the National Transportation Safety Board have been "a great ride," but she is moving on to the second "dream job" of her career.
She was on-scene for more than 20 accident investigations, including the crash of an Asiana Airlines jet in San Francisco last July.
Under Hersman, the five-member board has called for a ban on all cellphone use while driving, including hands-free calling, and lowering the legal limit for drivers' blood alcohol to combat drunken driving. She is particularly known for championing protections for children, including on planes.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Food and Drug Administration has halted operations at a Delaware cheese plant after an outbreak of listeria linked to the company's cheese killed one person and sickened seven others.
This is only the second time the FDA has shut down a plant after gaining that authority in a 2011 food safety law. The agency says that its inspectors found unsanitary conditions at Roos Foods in Kenton, Del., including a badly leaking roof and rusting and deteriorating equipment.
The FDA says it took the action because food manufactured by the company could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death to humans."
The company has already recalled a large variety of its products, including many cheeses in its Amigo, Anita, Mexicana, and Santa Rosa de Lima brands.
NEW YORK (AP) -- It's time to suit up: Men's Wearhouse is buying Jos. A. Bank for $1.8 billion.
Men's Wearhouse Inc. will pay $65 per share, a 5 percent premium to Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc.'s closing price Monday of $61.83.
The agreement ends a months-long back and forth that began in October when Jos. A. Bank offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion. Men's Wearhouse scoffed at that offer, and turned the tables, offering to buy its rival for $1.54 billion.
By early March Men's Wearhouse had an offer of $63.50 per share on the table but said it may raise the bid to $65 per share if some conditions were met.
The combined company will be the fourth-biggest U.S. men's clothing retailer with more than 1,700 U.S. stores and about $3.5 billion in sales.
The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter.
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Caesars Entertainment Corp. has reported a large quarterly loss after taking a hefty impairment charge.
The casino corporation said Tuesday it took goodwill and asset-impairment charges because of the continuing slump in Atlantic City and expectations that some of its property holdings may not last as long as expected. The company took nearly $2 billion in impairment charges for the quarter.
The Las Vegas-based company, which runs the Caesars, Harrah's, and Horseshoe brands, has struggled since the recession, and has not posted a profit since 2009.

Course Placements
Depending on their placement scores from the Written Proficiency Test, some students may be required to enroll in ESOL courses to develop or support their writing skills.
All required ESOL courses will be added to students' list of graduation requirements, and Undergraduate students must either be exempt from ESOL writing courses or complete all required ESOL writing requirements before they can enroll in General Studies Writing courses. Because writing in English is very important for academic success, the university expects undergraduate students to complete ESOL courses within their first year of study. Graduate students are expected to follow the recommended semesters of enrollment provided by the ESOL Program Office.
While the Written Proficiency Test may not be retaken, all students will be reassessed during the first week of the semester that they enroll in their required courses to ensure that they were appropriately placed.

ReMix: Life Force 'Tactile Freefall'
- Game: Life Force (Konami, 1988, NES)
- ReMixer(s): Dave Kellogg, Midee, prozax
- Composer(s): Atsushi Fujio, Hidenori Maezawa, Miki Higashino, Satoe Terashima, Shinya Sakamoto
- Song(s): 'Destroy Them All (6st.BGM)', 'Poison of Snake (Boss BGM)'
- Posted: 2004-06-08, evaluated by djpretzel
Hey, cool - both prozax AND Midee worked on this bitchin' Lifeforce ReMix, and both are artists we don't hear from too often, so hopefully some faces will light up when they see this and ears when they ear it. This hard rock take on the classic Lifeforce tunage is particularly badass because, though it features a great deal of tearing guitar riffage, there's some synth soloing thrown in to boot, so no one feels left out. Things fade in with an almost Moody Blues style floaty space synth sound, as drums and guitar edge in to their full-on at 0'32". Right off the bat things are mixed up, with the guitar being doubled for a stereo tradeoff effect as the bassline fits right in with the kickin' drum kit quite snugly. There's a slick synth break that segues into some soloing that follows aftewards, leading to a unison play on the motif. There's then a brief but well-placed bass/drums fill. If it sounds like this is jam-packed with transitions into lots of different segments, it is - just like Club Kukeiha does things. In about five minutes, though motifs certainly tie the whole thing together, you've got a lot of distinct patterns that are rapidly but smoothly transitioned. I think early Konami stuff lends itself well to rock - many of the pieces were the right tempo, had a lot of solo-friendly melodies, and were rife with quick transitions and filled with a certain type of energy that, while it definitely can and has been captured and retooled with techno, seems to have a natural habitat in the realm of rock. Midee and prozax, formidable forces in their own right, team up here for a Lifeforce tour-de-force. And that's a lot of force. Excellent integration of the respective mixers' sounds, solid transitions, and verve to spare. Kickin'.
This is still one of the only rock songs on the site I can get in to. Just not much of a 'rock' guy, but for some reason this does it for me.
- Less Ashamed Of Self on January 8, 2012
The [i]variety[/i] of ways this is expressed is quite amazing. It maintains that mood throughout, but does so in so many ways it doesn't get at all repetitive.
This is my second-most-listened-to track, and I do not restrict that to remixes.
- Drachefly on June 29, 2011
Deafening, brain-punching Pow-AH!
An almost frustrating level of awesome. It's so good I went through various emotional phases throughout the track until finally settling on a focused resentment for midee and prozax. At first I thought they combined their talents to share good music to the world, but with this mix I'm convinced that their main goal was to demonstrate how many times more awesome they are than me.W hich is something I don't dare to even dispute.
This mix kicks ass and doesn't even bother taking names. It's too cool for names.

Well I can't be all that analytical, all I can say is that this song rocks- nice work guys! (Maybe I'll take a peek at some of Midee's Mixes and find another keeper!)

I think its one of the best remixes I've heard since I discovered this site in 2000.
Its just too good, really rich and of course when you break and start the boss theme...incredible, what a high!
Made me wanna replay Lifeforce and finish Gradius V :)
Thank you for that masterpiece!

Hearing this in hard guitar makes me recall the DDR remix of Gradius 2's "Burning Heat"

It truly is an amazing tribute to LifeForce, and it brought back so many memories of the game, and the eerie feel of Stage 6's soundtrack. I think I described my feelings on how powerful it was last year, but man, the intro STILL sends shivers up my spine, if that isn't a testament to this piece of music's timeless pleasure, I do not know what is. Believe me folks, even if you are not Life Force fans, I still recommend checking this song out.

Between the power-guitar (as in the phrase"...with MORE POWER *simean grunts*") and the 80's twinge of metal synth accompaniment, the only words I could possibly use with getting even more hyperbolic are djpretzel's own: tour-de-force.
Way to rock out, guys. You've got a bonafide fan, here.

To supplement the series of MMO's Top 25 Prospects, I compiled a list of five names that I think really have the potential to break out or put together a strong season in 2013, and perhaps jump onto some prospect lists. They all showcase something that caught my eye, so I hope you enjoy them. At the bottom, you will see links to some honorable mentions who also displayed some promise.

Gilbert Gomez signed with the Mets in 2008 as an IFA. He boasted a raw set of skills that had the potential to turn into five-tool talent down the line. Time has passed and things have not progressed as quickly as one might have expected. It is fair, however, to continue to believe in Gomez's ability to turn things around considering he has flashed impressive maturity at the plate at times and shows overall athleticism no matter how you look at him. It was a down year for Gomez in 2012, while some of his best ...

Printer ESPON Okay, I had a printer ESPON Stylus Photo R320 which was awesome. I had it for 10 years. It now has plumb wore out. I have been looking at printers and see two different ones I like: ESPON Stylus Photo R2880 ESPON Stylus Photo R2000 I'm trying to decide which is best for me since I loved my old one. I print lots of photos for photography but I also do a lot of printing word documents, computer-made cards, etc. 8/13/2011 3:44:42 AM |

The R2880 is perhaps the very best 13x19 printer in the world. It is amazing. Many are used by pro photographers. If you can afford it, this would be the ideal choice. I have not tested the R2000 but there is a reliable Review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRINT/epson-r2000/index.htm It sound OK ... just OK Cheers! Peter 9/1/2011 4:30:22 PM |

hey peter! thanks for answering my question! I did get the R2880! I can't believe how big it is! I still need to install it and the PRINT! :)
Lynn R. Powers Contact Lynn Lynn's Gallery member since: 9/12/2006 |
Congratulations on your new printer. I have the Canon i9900 13x19 printer and have had it for 5 years. Here is some advice for you that I have learned by experience. I do not know what size your ink cartridges your printer uses but mine only will take 13ml ink cartridges. They are very expensive per milliliter. I had to replace three inks the other day and now have none on reserve. I will call B&H Photo and order the complete set of eight inks plus extra PC, PM, C and M. The cost for the twelve cartridges will be slightly over $100. Purchasing them individually locally the price with tax would be about $180 for eight. Make sure that your computer is properly calibrated! (This should have been my first statement) Paper: Believe it or not paper is very inexpensive for inkjet printing, unless you use some of the "Art" papers which can be quite spendy to say the least. I use Ilford Pearl Smooth. So will my local printer if I specify it for larger prints because they keep a roll of a couple sizes on hand. (They purchase ink by the gallon for their Epson 44" printer.) You may find a paper made by Epson that you like a whole lot. I use Epson paper for my matte photos especially for B&W When purchasing paper buy in the larger packages. 50 sheets of 12X18 cost a lot less per sheet than buying in a package of 10. However when testing a new paper purchase the sample pack or the letter size to make your tests. You do not want 40 sheets of 13x19 paper that you do not like sitting around collecting dust. Printing: Oh, how I wish I could see your face and reaction when you make your first 12x18" print that comes out the way that looks perfect to you. I had a huge 'Cheshire Cat' smile on my face, got it in good light and kept repeating, "Wow, wow, wow! Pretty sure that you will do something similar as well as showing it to everyone at hand. You will find that some photos do not look very good when enlarged to 12x18" I have printed some 12x18" photos down to 180dpi and have them come out quite acceptable. Others that are barely acceptable are made into a smaller print. It is best to use 240dpi or better. You have probably noticed that all of my photo sizes have a border on them. It gives people a place to hold them instead of getting their fingerprints all over the photo. Also it makes it easier for the people that that are going to do the matting for you. Have fun and good luck.
Lynn R. Powers Contact Lynn Lynn's Gallery member since: 9/12/2006 |
I wish we could edit these replies. The cost of a $180 is WRONG. It should be $120 for eight and $180 for twelve cartridges. There are also a couple typos and sentences that should be edited. Sorry about that. :=(

News you can use
News You Can UsePARENTING: Some Kids Are Actually Allergic to the ColdWhile some kids complain about cold weather and other kids seem to get sick during cold weather, a small number of them actually develop an allergic reaction to it. Just like with food and pollen allergies, reactions can include rashes, hives, closing of the throat and general itchiness. Parents of kids who suffer from cold have to make special arrangements to keep them in warm places. Even cold countertops, cold bathtubs, ice cream, popsicles, air-conditioning and cold drinks can trigger a reaction. This sort of makes a simple peanut allergy seem like no big deal. (Yahoo News) SCHOOL DAZE: Debt Stress Causing Students to Perform Poorly in ClassAccording to a new survey, financial worries that college students are faced with are the main source of stress while they are still in school. And, it's getting so bad that it's affecting their performance in school. About 60 percent of surveyed students reported that they regularly worried about having enough money to cover everyday costs – and this worry is distracting students from their studies.

The Most Performed Play in High Schools – a follow up.
Yesterday, I listed the ETA's most performed plays and musicals in high schools.
What surprised so many people about this list was that the play that topped even Shakespeare for the number one slot was Almost Maine, a play by the Maine-bred, very talented and oft seen on Law & Order, John Cariani.
The NY Times even wrote an article about the Maine phenomenon.
What is so special about this play being the most performed high school play in the US?
Well, for starters, you've probably never heard of it . . . because it flopped Off-Broadway in 2006 after running for only 67 performances.
As the NY Times article details, it lost its entire $800,000 investment.
What the NY Times article did not say was how much of that investment had been recouped since the play has become the most performed high school play in the US.
The article did say that Maine has done well for the author, which is fantastic news, because I'm a fan of John's and hope that he writes another play soon.
But those author royalties would be buptkus if it weren't for the original investors and if it weren't for the original Producer (who, if this is a traditional agreement, won't see any money until after the show recoups . . . if it recoups).
It's great that the play has been able to support John over the years, and I hope it continues to do so. But there has got to be a way that these plays that flop in NYC but have long lives elsewhere can provide some support to the Producers, while at the same time returning as much money to the investors as possible.
The goal of the subsidiary royalty revenue stream for authors is to keep them writing, so they aren't forced to take a day job.
Shouldn't there be something similar for the Producer? Wouldn't that allow the Producer to produce more often, just like it allows the author to write more often? And shouldn't they receive something for launching the project in the first place?
There doesn't have to be something similar, obviously. Because there isn't one.
But that may also be why the crop of career Producers is so small.
Read Almost Maine here. See what all the high schools are fussing about, and support a new playwright (and hopefully a Producer) in the process.

5 Responses to The Most Performed Play in High Schools – a follow up.
Ralph Sevush says:
I'm not sure what Ken is talking about, since, in a standard off-Broadway deal, the original producer of ALMOST MAINE (which includes the original investors and the managing partners) are taking around 40% of the author's future revenues. Is that insufficient for "launching the project"? Really? For making a flop out of a play that clearly had an audience? What would be sufficient, Ken? 50%? 75% 100% of the authors revenue, until the original producer has "recouped"? Why? Because, in the view of producers, financial capital is important and creative capital is secondary, if its regarded at all.
Ken, producers take "producer's risk"… the risk of capital. Authors take "author's risk"… the risk of becoming artists (rather than producers, for example), and writing plays and musicals that others may never even read, much less produce, with only a miniscule chance of ever paying off in a way that will allow authors to put braces on their kids' teeth. So, the continued attempts by producers to shift their risk (the risk of capital) onto the artists, especially authors (through profit pools, amortization, extended sub rights, expanded foreign rights, etc), is appalling and, frankly, immoral.
By the way, An off-Broadway "flop" may have paid the author NOTHING for the years it took him/her to write the show, with only a token amount paid as an option or advance, when it goes into rehearsal. And, during the run of the show, the author may have received less than a stagehand or actor, while the managing producer may have pocketed various amounts (fees, accruals, cash office charges, royalties, amortization factors, rentals, etc), in addition to its 40% take of the author's future revenues from the show. And while investors may be getting screwed by their managing producers in this way, they're in a very big boat… Mr. Davenport's self-serving claims not withstanding.
Ultimately, I think that Ken's real complaint is about what managing producers have to pay these days to their investors. But expecting the author, who is the most vulnerable party in this enterprise, to make up for what managers now agree to give their investors, is just grotesque. -
Ken Davenport says:
You say, "the original producer of ALMOST MAINE (which includes the original investors and the managing partners) are taking around 40% of the author's future revenues."
And if the show hasn't recouped, 100% of that 40% money goes to pay back the investors. And the Producer receives nothing.
That's what seems odd to me.
One solution to encourage a new generation of smart producers that can make a career out of it would be for a producer to skim off the top of that 40%, and leave the authors' 60% intact. The only issue there is that this further increases the risk for an investor at a time when get money for a show, especially an off-broadway show is very difficult. It's a tough situation. How do we keep authors compensated at the highest rates possible to keep them writing, while keep growing our investor base?
If Almost Maine or any of the other hundreds of off-broadway shows that failed had actually recouped, might more investors be inclined to put more money in shows and thereby employ more of your writers? -
Jack Thomas says:
Perhaps I can clarify the situation under discussion here, since I am the actual producer of ALMOST, MAINE. The show has come nowhere near re-couping its original investment. Trust me – we're a long way from being in the black.
In point of fact, the show didn't actually run long enough to vest at the full 40% share to the investors, so they receive 30% of the author's earnings.
Thanks for chastising me so sharply, Mr. Sevush for "making a flop out of a show that clearly had an audience," since you know so little of the circumstances. I guess we'll overlook the transit strike in our first week of previews, and a so-so review in the New York Times. We'll overlook 3 snowstorms that paralyzed the city, including our final weekend.
In fact, my partner and I have earned nothing from ALMOST, MAINE in 6+ years that I have worked to promote the show – raising money, mounting the production, and subsequently promoting it to regional theatres in hopes of recovering some of the investors' money. The $100 weekly office fee, all of the money I was scheduled to receive prior to recoupment, was waived almost immediately upon performances beginning. Everyone, from general managers to designers to the ad agency, pitched in to help this little show try and make a go of it. I was and remain tremendously proud of our team, who gave heart and soul – and no one did it for the money. I think you would find that this is characteristic of almost every Off-Broadway show, where money is virtually always in short supply, and all of the talent is being paid less than they deserve.
My objective was not to screw the author out of huge sums; John's subsequent royalties he has rightfully earned by his craft.
But let us be clear here: John and his agent agreed to the terms so that we could – together – try our best to launch the show in New York. Our best efforts did not succeed – and we all knew that was the risk, and the likely outcome.
In fact, John has very kindly offered to extend the royalty agreement, so that the investors have several additional years in which to try and recover against their losses. This is not the action of an artist who felt screwed by his deal; he could have refused the extension.
In no other line of business is someone who works for years expected to make no money. Documentary film makers, producers of flop films, those who create and sell TV shows which disappear after 3 weeks on the air – they get paid for their professional services. Yes, we take a "producer's risk," but does that genuinely mean to you that our services are worth nothing?
I love and admire this show, and I respect and admire author John Cariani. Despite the show's hardship, we remain close personal friends. I went to Maine to see his latest play, LAST GAS, and am actively promoting a partnership with New York non-profits to create a New York debut for it. I am not being paid for this effort; I am doing this because I believe in John, his work, and the future of this play.
One final point – in my next project, I did indeed put a "producer's fee" so that I could earn some money. This fee, which is fully disclosed to the investors, is $10,000 for what will likely be somewhat under a year's work. I hope you will not begrudge this sum; my investors do not.
Happy Holidays.
Jack Thomas
Producer, Bulldog Theatrical -
Rick Culbertson says:
Yes! You have said this a few times and I wholeheartedly agree.
Here is what I have always thought would be fair:
The producer, book writer, lyricist, and composer (generally) all take a 2% royalty, which makes them even. Therefore, when the show is available to licensing, each should take 25% of the overall author share of the licensing income while the show is still recouping its original investment. This would continue until the investors have recouped and the producer is paid out of the producer/investor profits like normal.
Here is the catch; the producer then has to pay back to the authors all of the money he/she made from licensing revenue before the show recouped, plus 50%. The producer would pay this out of 50% of his producer/investor profit income.
It sort of works like an advance in reverse. If the show ends up becoming a huge hit, the authors would actually make more this way, but if it dribbles on for years the producer at least see a little income based on his "value added" to the show.
I am sure that there are a million reasons why authors would never agree to this (in Ken's comment above, I don't know if he would agree with this). But if we want more shows produced, we have to retain good producers AND investors. Making it even harder for investors to recoup will make it even harder for them to invest to make it happen in the first place. -
[...] yet has never been seen inside the city walls. Just ask John Cariani, whose Almost Maine is one of the most licensed plays in the country, and only ran for a few weeks [...]

Tych Panel: Making Diptychs, Triptychs, and More
I follow many photo bloggers who arrange their images in beautiful multi-panel layouts on their blog posts. I love the look of multiple panels, so I started presenting my work in the same way here. Ever since I started doing it, however, I've been asked the same question many, many times:
"Hey Jonathan, how do you make these multi-panel thingys? Do you arrange them manually or do you use some kind of software?"
Here's the secret:
When I first started arranging my photos into multiple panels, I did indeed make everything manually in Photoshop. What a pain! Now I use a third-party Photoshop CS5 extension called Tych Panel. As a Photoshop extension, it works right in CS5 as an additional panel that automates the diptych/triptych process. It's so easy to use that I laughed the first time I gave it a try. How easy? Check out the video below to see what was involved in making the diptych at the top of this post (might want to view in full screen):
Whew! Doesn't get much simpler than that, does it? What about the triptych below?
Just open the files, chose the pattern you want, and Tych Panel does the rest:
Ok, what if you want to get crazy and just keep adding photos to make one really big multi-tych? Can do!
I know the videos moved a little fast and didn't specifically outline the step by step directions for using Tych Panel. Have no fear! Reimund Trost, the developer of this amazing extension, has very detailed instructions on how to use Tych Panel on his website.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Tych Panel is FREE. Head on over to the link below to download it and give it a try yourself:
Hey fellow bloggers, how do you create your dips and trips?
Party Photography
—-Nikon D300s + Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 at f/5.6, 1/80 sec ISO800
One question I'm often asked is something like : "How do I get sharp photos when taking pictures of my friends dancing indoors? What lens should I get for this purpose?"
Well, in most cases, the answer has less to do with your lens and more to do with whether or not you're using flash. Just so happened to have hosted a dance party last night at my house, so I took the opportunity to demonstrate what I mean, using a variety of lenses and shutter speeds, and of course, my hot shoe flashes. The dancing took place in my living room at night, which means no daylight pouring through the window to give me f-stoppage. The room is lit by two floor lamps, providing, I dunno, just about f/0.1 inside. Seriously though, even using my fastest lens, I 'd probably squeeze out a shutter speed of about 1/80th shooting wide open at f/1.4 at ISO3200 in this room. Ouch…not nearly fast enough to stop action under these conditions.
—-Nikon D300s + Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 at 11mm f/5.6, 1/125 sec ISO800
Freezing motion in bright day light out doors is relatively simple, right? You can easily hit say 1/640 or 1/1000 and higher, even stopped down, effectively freezing motion. Can't really do that in a room like this. There's simply not enough ambient. Using flash lets you shoot at lower shutter speeds and still freeze action.
Wait a minute! How is it that you can freeze motion with low shutter speeds when you use your flash? Another question I get asked a lot. They key, again, is in the pop of light you're throwing at your subject. The shutter may be going at say 1/80 or even 1/15, but that flash is hitting your subject at like 1/1500th, fast enough to freeze them in their tracks. If you want to imply motion in your dancing shots, you can drag the shutter at around 1/10 to 1/15 (make sure you camera is set to rear curtain sync):
—-Nikon D300s + Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 at f/5.6, 1/15 sec ISO800
Or select higher shutter speeds to freeze them completely:
—–Nikon D300s + Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 at 14mm f/5.6, 1/80 ISO800
Another note: you gotta go manual exposure in scenes like this. Throw your camera into aperture priority, for instance, and it will select what it thinks is an appropriate shutter speed to expose the scene. Well, you're pointing your camera at darkness, which means it'll select shutter speeds that are far too low. Use shutter priority and you camera will open up your lens to its maximum, limiting your depth of field options. For the entire night, I dictated the shutter speed and aperture and let the camera's intelligent flash system work its magic. Worked well in this case too because in such a small, dimly lit room, almost all of the light is coming from my flash units.
Another question I get asked: "My lens doesn't have VC/VR/IS. Can I still get sharp shots with it?" Yes! None of the lenses I used last night are stabilized:
—-Nikon D300s + Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 at 95mm f/5.6, 1/80 sec ISO800
—-Nikon D300s + Tokina 50-135 f/2.8
—-Nikon D300s + Tokina 50-135 f/2.8
—-Nikon D300s + Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8
It's important to remember that neither lens nor sensor based image stabilization systems help freeze subject motion. They only help reduce blur induced by small movements caused by the photographer hand-holding the camera. They key, again, is the flash.
Of course, when people are standing still, it's even easier. =)
Don't Start with a Plan
When I first started Suki's 52 week project this year, I tried my best to have a very specific concept in mind for each image, planning each shot as meticulously as I could before we even headed out the door. I'm nearly halfway through the project now, and I've learned that having a plan is not always the best way to get a great shot. Reminds me of what Jay Maisel, a highly regarded NY based photographer once said:
"Not knowing what you're going to shoot is the great adventure. If you go out knowing what you're going to shoot, the great adventure is gone. Most people work to have a plan; I've worked to not have a plan for shooting when I go out."
I love this advice, and I've done my best to incorporate the principle behind it not only in my 52 week project, but in my photography in general.
Nowadays, the only planning I do when I go out to take a photo of Suki is deciding the location. Once we've settled into a spot, I then start scanning the area and coming up with ideas. It forces you to be observant, to look intently for interesting compositions, lines, and light. Instead of locking down on a specific plan, you find yourself exploring with a free and clear mind, and exploration and adventure is what makes photography great.
My best images of Suki this year are the ones where no planning was involved, where I'd just say "hey, let's go to [insert location here] and try to get some sort of shot of Suki." The images you see in this post, for example, are from a series I shot of her last Sunday during an early morning stroll. No plan involved. Just me, some camera gear, and a Shiba Inu. We walked and walked until I saw an element of the environment that struck me. It's a great way to approach your photography. Just make sure you always have your camera with you!
My Favorite Lenses
So lately I've decided that my two absolute favorite lenses in my bag right now are…..[drum-roll]…. The Nikkor 70-300mm VR (used in the top image) and the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 (used in the third photo from the top). Yup. My longest telephoto and my widest wide-angle. Both allow me to greatly exaggerate the perception of distance in an image. Want to really add some impact and dimension to your photos? Move further away from your subject and rack out your telephoto lens. Using an ultra-wide? Move in super close to your subject. Experiment and see what happens!

Hard to tell the causes of heart problems! The usual suspects (high cholest., smoking,lack of activity,etc.) are not always present when problems arise or show up. I thought at 75 my getting tired sooner was old age! Turns out I had over 80% blockage in some arteries after a stress test!
I got the report of my latest stress test which I stopped after almost 4 min. because i was breathing hard. I'm now on 25mg of Toprol in addition to my baby aspirin. The Cardiologists summary was re: Exercise tolerance: "Good, for his age" !!

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence." "Done!" replies the government official. And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work. |

Southern Hills Mall didn't really get painted red Saturday.
But they hosted the second "paint the mall red" sponsored by Mercy hospital.
The event is used to promote heart health.
They even brought in a giant inflatable heart people could walk through in order to learn more.
"It's so important to become as educated as you can. Because education, knowledge, that can help you prevent the problem before you have to come to us," said Heather Johnson, a Physician's Assistant at Mercy Cardiology.
The event also had free body screenings and carotid artery screenings, in order to promote a healthy lifestyle
