The post race party is incentive for Hyannis. Depending on Portland it will either be the half or full for me. See you at the bar.
I have run the Hyannis Marathon 4 times.
It is a such a unique race in many ways.
First winter, and the weather possibilities.
The excitement of running the first loop with the half marathoners.
The second loop which is a lonely loop.
When I ran it in the early 1990's there were no finishers medals -- not a big deal to me. But unheard of today.
The traning for this race can be absolutely insane if training in the north. I had great traning weather this year. But last year I got out 7 time between the 2nd week of January and the race at the end of February.
Congrats you are a Marathoner! Everybody goes thru a tough patch in a marathon. You will be more mentaly prepared for the next one. 70 is warm. Glad you are not a one and done.
Great job on finishing your marathon! Now everytime you look in the mirror you can smile because YOU did that.
Our stories share some similarities.
I too completed my first marathon in April and I used the Higdon Novice2 plan.
I followed a pace group for the first 13 miles and then the second loop was extremely lonely and quiet. I held my pace steady through 21 miles and was aiming for a finish in the low 4:30's and , as you said, "that's when it happened...". My left hip cramped up painfully and bothered me the rest of the way. The 4:45 pacer passed me in this stretch and for a moment I felt deflated but then I figured there was no way I wasn't going to finish and I kept going - finish time: 4:48:10. I am very happy to have finished but my time also haunts me. All I can think is what could have been.
My wife asked me after the race if I was done running now. Yeah right. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon now but I could easily transition to training for a fall marathon.
For my next I plan on using the Novice2 again and just add 1 running day per week and not skimp on the cross training. I felt like my training served me well and I never ran out of energy but the distance exposed an instaility/weakness in my hip which I am addressing.
Will your time haunt you for that course if you PR on a different course? I certainly want to PR on any course but I fell like I've got some unfinished business on my first race course.
Happy running!

The people included in the exhibit are by
no means the only Western visionaries, and there
are many unsung heroes whose dreams, toils and
sacrifices were made quietly but with lasting
effects, Pfluger said. Joining him in the selection
of the men and women featured in the exhibition

Inaugural musings
January 22, 2009 - Erin O'Neill
Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009 marked a milestone in this nation. Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office, despite some fumblings, to become the 44th President of these United States. I, like many others, was glued to the TV for the day and most of the evening and I would like to offer my astute, albeit lame, observations:
- Aretha Franklin. Oh boy. I don't know what was worse, her rendition of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" (I think) or the Christmas package on her head.
- Michelle Obama could not have been comfortable in those shoes. She looked very elegant, yet soccer mom-ish, in the lemongrass dress by some designer that no one has heard of but when the first couple made their jaunt down Pennsylvania Ave., or Executive Drive or wherever they were, I couldn't help but feel sympathy pains for Mrs. Obama's tootsies. It was evident the day was wearing on her by the time the parade rolled around. She's definitely got the Miss America wave and fake smile down pat.
- Someone give that man a tissue! I couldn't help but notice the new first dude kept wiping his nose on his coat. Don't they pass out monogrammed hankies at these things?
- Speaking of the first dude...I loved how the Obama family communicated with the marching band from Barack's home state of Hawaii: "Hang Ten! Gnarrrrly"
- I have to credit my editor for reminding me of this but Sting, what were you thinking? The ex-Police frontman is definitely starting to show his age which is what, 112 now? You know, all that yoga and whatnot.
- $140 million? Yes I am aware a lot of the money for the zillion balls and galas was raised through private donations and stuff - yadayadayada - but come on man, we ARE in a recession, aren't we? Or did Washington not get the memo?
There was a lot to take in and I remind you that I am making light of (and poorly, I might add) a very momentous and joyous occasion. Have a favorite moment of your own? Want to tell me to take a flying leap? Talk about it here! I welcome your comments.

The 3 Most Depressing Minor Characters in Famous Movies
#2. Jerry (Liar Liar)
Universal Studios
In Liar Liar, another contender for "Most '90s Movie Ever," Jim Carrey, a lawyer named Fletcher, gets hit with some magic and has to go a full 24 hours without saying a single lie, all while facing a big case and trying to reconnect with his son and ex-wife. He generally lies all the time, you see, which is why this would be a big deal for him. His ex-wife (Maura Tierney) dates Jerry (Cary Elwes), because she wants her son to have a positive male role model in his life, someone who won't constantly lie and let him down. She plans on moving to Boston with Jerry and her son, but after a series of wacky hijinks, Fletcher learns the error of his ways and vows to be a better father to his son, a better lawyer, and a better man. By the end of the film, it is heavily implied that Fletcher and his ex-wife will get back together and everyone will live happily ever after.
Universal Studios
Oh. Right.
This isn't exactly a new formula. In movies about a slacker or deadbeat male who needs to turn his life around to win back the woman he loves, there's almost always another man in the picture. Someone with whom our hero has to compete. In almost all of those movies, however, the "other man" is usually revealed to be shitty in some way. Bradley Cooper cheats on his fiancee Rachel McAdams in Wedding Crashers. Billy Zane (Kate Winslet's fiance) tries to get Leonardo DiCaprio killed and steals a child in Titanic, and so on. The logic is that good people should be with other good people, and attempting to disrupt someone else's relationship for your own selfish purposes is a bad thing, so we just have to make sure the other man is worse.
It's a pretty tired cliche at this point, but it's also important. That cliche -- highlighting some big, shitty character flaw in the other man -- is what makes us as the audience OK with seeing that other man end up alone and the only thing that makes cuckoldry acceptable to us. You want to make sure the audience roots for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to end up together? Include a scene of her current boyfriend kidnapping a child and we'll do it. Happily, and with no thought about the consequences.
Paramount Pictures/20th Century Fox
Cameron was going to CG yellow eyes and devil horns, but they were already over budget.
Liar Liar has no such shitty guy scene for Jerry. He doesn't cheat on Maura Tierney's character, he doesn't beat the little kid, and he's not a drug addict or murderer. He's introduced to us as a very kind guy who is ready, willing, and eager to step in and be a supportive father figure for a kid that isn't his, and that's how he stays throughout the whole movie. He's handsome, likeable, capable of holding down a job, and confident in himself enough to not be threatened by Fletcher. His biggest flaw is that he's a little square and can't do this claw thing as well as Jim Carrey. In every other movie, he should get a good girl. (Yes, I'm using words like "get" and "reward" and we're treating the woman like a sex prize. Movies are problematic, I'm very sorry.)
Universal Studios
"Oh, no. When they call me a nice guy, they mean that legitimately."
Jerry doesn't win in Liar Liar; he loses. The woman he loves and the child he's prepared to raise -- his future family, basically -- are taken away from him by a bruised, rambling Fletcher, a known liar who has demonstrated his unreliability as a parent a thousand times. The day Maura Tierney decides to stick with Fletcher is the same day Fletcher: 1) gets his car impounded for speeding and a number of unpaid parking tickets; 2) gets thrown in jail; 3) breaks through security in an airport; and 4) steals an airport vehicle, delaying a flight and endangering lives. Cary Elwes lost to that guy. And what's his sin? Nothing. The moral of the movie seems to be that if you grow and change and quit being a terrible human, you get the sex prize.
Universal Studios
A "nice guy."
But what about the guy who was already good? The guy who never took the easy way out and believed in doing the right thing because it was the right thing? What lesson is he supposed to pull out of this? "Oh, you love Fletcher again because he doesn't lie? Guess who was already not lying to you this whole time?!" What kind of justice is there for the guy who didn't need a magic spell to know that lying is wrong? Where's his sex prize?!
My hope is that some perfect woman happened to be on the same plane, saw what happened to Cary Elwes, and fell in love with him, and they lived happily ever after, but I'm sure there's probably a deleted scene from Liar Liar where Cary Elwes' plane goes down, because fuck good guys, right?

How to Cut Wedding Costs
My colleague Erin Burt recently wrote about 20 Ways to Waste Your Money, and one reader wrote in to add her own suggestion: weddings. She argued that no couple should start their life together in debt by going overboard with an extravagant ceremony. We couldn't agree more.
Although the average cost of a wedding in 2009 is expected to be 6% less than a year ago, it still tops $20,000. But you don't have to dig yourself that deep into debt to make your nuptials fabulous.
In 6 Easy Ways to Save $10,000 on Your Wedding, Kiplinger's Personal Finance reporter Stacy Rapacon shares several cost-cutting tips she picked up while planning her own wedding. And she provides tips on haggling your way to a frugal ceremony in Wedding Bells on a Budget.

AgFax Cotton Review: Prices Expected to Rise; Activists Refuse to Accept Facts on Bt Cotton
- DTN cotton correspondent Duane Howell reports that U.S. cotton futures saw modest gains in current-crop deliveries.
- Reuters reports India's Economic Times that Indian cotton prices are expected to rise this week on stronger export demand, though higher supplies may limit uptrend. Southeast Asian markets are showing increased demand and will help to offset losses of sales to China.
- Fiona Myers writes at WeeklyTimesNow.com that Rabobank has predicted that cotton prices will rise 17% in the next year as the global surplus declines from reduced production.
- Swaminathan Aiyar of India's Economic Times reports that, despite Greenpeace's continued claims to the contrary, Bt cotton has been a boon to Indian farmers, having more than doubled cotton yields in the last decade. Aiyar notes that farmers know better than scientists and activists what is or isn't working in their fields, and aren't so gullible as to continue planting an uneconomical crop.
- Bloomberg reports that Chinese cotton futures surged as government purchases reduce available supply. The government has stockpiled 85% of the current harvest with left for deliverable stocks. However spot markets are awash with local and imported cotton, and textile demand remains weak.
- Abdel Latif Wahba reports at Bloomberg that Egyptian cotton exports reached 800 metric tons in the week ending Jan. 24.
- Jack Scoville of Futures Magazine reports that the trend in cotton contracts remains up as strong sales continue. Supply in the market is lacking while another Chinese auction failed over the weekend. There are concerns of less planted acres in the U.S. due to low prices.
- Phoebe Sedgman reports for Bloomberg that ex-tropical cyclone Oswald brought heavy rains and flooding to some areas of Australia that damaged some cotton but saved more. A scorching summer had many farmers behind on irrigation, but the recent rains provided last minute relief that should boost yields and quality.
- Obert Chifamba reports at AllAfrica.com that many cotton farmers in the Gokwe region of Zimbabwe are abandoning cotton and turning to corn, as they've grown tired to battling with ginners over prices.
- Marvin Perez of Bloomberg reports that Cotlook Ltd. cut its forecast for the worldwide cotton surplus by 2.4% thanks to rising demand in South Asia and Turkey.
- The Press Trust of India reports on the Indian Business Standard that the outlook for India's cotton textile industry is negative to stable in 2013 on reduced demand, though softening raw prices may help margins.
- Rubab Abid writes for the National Post that while GM cotton has been widely blamed for a striking rise in farmer suicides in India, the evidence and several major reports indicate otherwise. Farmer suicide rates began to rise several years before Monsato's introduction of Bt cotton to the country, and despite claims of failing GM crops Bt cotton has lead to a noticeable rise in yields and reduction in pesticide use. According to reports, the suicide problem is not limited to farmers but plagues the general population, with farmer suicide levels having actually leveled off in the last decade so that suicide rates for ag workers are now half those of other professions.

Anxiety |
Bi-polar |
Borderline Personality Disorder
Depression |
Schizophrenia | Additional
Everybody has some familiarity with
anxiety. Anxiety is the feeling of worry, apprehension, fear
and/or panic in response to situations which seem
overwhelming, threatening, unsafe or uncomfortable. You may
experience anxiety as an intense worry before a final exam,
the nervousness felt before making a presentation, or the
heightened alertness when you believe you are in danger.
Anxiety is your body's way of alerting you that some kind of
action is needed in the face of a situation that is
perceived to be threatening or dangerous. Therefore, anxiety
can be useful or adaptive whenever it prompts you to take
appropriate action in response to an anxiety-provoking
situation. For example, anxiety can motivate you to study
for an exam or organize a presentation or leave a situation
that feels unsafe.
However, anxiety can also be detrimental,
especially if it becomes overwhelming and prevents you from
taking appropriate actions or prompts you to take actions
that are counterproductive. Anxiety may be detrimental if
you avoid studying for a major exam that worries you, or if
you cope with worry about your relationship by getting
unnecessarily suspicious and then yelling at your partner.
This brochure will help you distinguish between normal or
expected anxiety that everyone experiences and anxiety
problems which may require intervention.

There is a tendency to romanticize bipolar
disorder. Many artists, musicians, and writers have suffered
from its mood swings. But in truth, many lives are ruined by
this disease; and without effective treatment, the illness
is associated with an increased risk of suicide.
Disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a
serious brain disease that causes extreme shifts in mood,
energy, and functioning. It affects approximately 2.3
million adult Americans—about 1.2 percent of the population.
Men and women are equally likely to develop this disabling
illness. The disorder typically emerges in adolescence or
early adulthood, but in some cases appears in childhood.
Cycles, or episodes, of depression, mania, or "mixed" manic
and depressive symptoms typically recur and may become more
frequent, often disrupting work, school, family, and social
The symptoms of Borderline Personality
Disorder can be summarized as instability in mood, thinking,
behavior, personal relations, and self-image. Individuals
with the disorder may:
Many symptoms of Borderline Personality
disorder are similar to those found in other disorders, such
as anxiety disorder, schizophrenia and other personality
disorders like:
Borderline Personality Disorder can affect
anyone, but it is often diagnosed in adolescents and young
adults. Women seem to develop it more often than men do.

There are several types of clinical
depression which involve disturbances in mood,
concentration, self-confidence, sleep, appetite, activity
and behavior as well as disruptions in friendships, family,
work and/or school. A clinical depression is different from
the experiences of sadness, disappointment and grief
familiar to everyone, however, which can make it difficult
to determine when professional help is necessary. This
brochure is intended to provide you with an understanding of
the symptoms, causes, and treatment of clinical depression
and allow you to assess the severity of symptoms you are
experiencing to determine whether you should consider
treatment at this time.
A period of depressed mood which lasts for several days or a
few weeks is a normal part of life and is not necessarily a
cause for concern. Although these feelings are often
referred to as "depression," they typically do not
constitute a clinical depression because the symptoms are
relatively mild and of short duration. Moreover, milder
periods of depression are often related to stressful life
events and improvement frequently coincides with positive
life changes.
A person experiencing a clinical depression, however, will
likely be experiencing substantial changes in their mood,
thinking, behaviors, activities and self-perceptions. A
depressed person often has difficulty making decisions, for
example, and the day-to-day tasks of paying bills, attending
classes, reading assignments, and returning phone calls may
seem overwhelming.
A depressed person may also dwell on negative thoughts,
focus on unpleasant experiences, describe himself or herself
as a failure, report that things are hopeless, and feel as
though they are a burden to others. The changes in mood
brought on by depression frequently result in feelings of
sadness, irritability, anger, emptiness, and/or anxiety.
There are also some types of depression, including Bipolar
Disorder, in which depressive episodes alternate with manic
or hypomanic episodes which may include feelings of
agitation and euphoria. A severe or long-term depressive
episode can substantially erode self-esteem and may result
in thoughts of death and suicide. The following symptoms
checklist includes many of the symptoms typical of a
clinical depression. It is important to note, however, that
only some of these symptoms are necessary for a diagnosis of
Schizophrenia is a serious disorder which
affects how a person thinks, feels and acts. Someone with
schizophrenia may have difficulty distinguishing between
what is real and what is imaginary; may be unresponsive or
withdrawn; and may have difficulty expressing normal
emotions in social situations.
Contrary to public perception, schizophrenia is not split
personality or multiple personality. The vast majority
of people with schizophrenia are not violent and do not pose
a danger to others. Schizophrenia is not caused by
childhood experiences, poor parenting or lack of willpower,
nor are the symptoms identical for each person.
No cure for schizophrenia has been
discovered, but with proper treatment, many people with this
illness can lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Grid Layouts Rock!
Nothing trumps a reliable, easy-to-use UI. No amount of killer graphics, clever landing pages, or HTML5 showboating can equal a site that displays information clearly and concisely. Grid-based layouts are a perfect tool to do that. They can present a huge amount of content at a glance, and are easy to update. But, keeping them interesting can be a challenge. Here are some tips to bring the "wow" factor.
Keep it cohesive
One of the dangers of this layout is that it can feel cluttered. You have to give it a seamless look. Grid layouts can't feel arbitrary. Your readers' attention gets scattered if the layout looks like it's thrown together. If you are using a lot of images (and it's not a news-based site), pick ones that are similar in color scheme or composition, like Canvas Magazine does with its neutral photos. Viktoria Klein uses images that are linked by color, pattern or content to add variety while still keeping the aesthetic flow.
Our new Trendy & Responsive Joomla Template
Using the top trends for this summer 2014 for inspiration, Techie has a simplistic and minimalist view without loosing the full complexity your site may need. Its the template you have been waiting your next app, component, software or any other technology. It makes for a great event and corporate site too.
Whether users are browsing via mobile or desktop, having a striking and easily understood landing page is vital for your clients' site and or business. The landing page is the first exposure to the site. As such, it's your opportunity to communicate the client's brand in a way that's memorable and useful. Here are some tips for creating a useful and unforgettable landing page that enables the site's traffic to navigate it as you intended while it acomplishes your client's objectives: builds their brand, generates leads, and increases their visibility.
Web design is as much of an art as it is a science, especially if you're designing for demanding clients. The Internet has plenty of design inspiration and tips for building sites, but sometimes there's nothing quite like sitting down with a few good books to expand your skills, to gain a new perspective on design, or to refresh existing skills.
Continue reading to find our recommendation of "5-must read web design books" you need in your personal library.
Scrolling elements of site design are a major trend for 2014. So is browsing via mobile. You might not think that those two things should go together - - after all, scrolling on many mobile devices can be slow and clumsy, and the small text size can make scrolling a challenge. However, it seems to be the solution many have found for displaying on a small screen, their site's content in a legible and organized way. With mobile browsers constantly improving and more and more users wanting mobile sites to be memorable (not just usable), you need to embrace this growing trend.
Let's start laying the ground-work for some general rules you should keep in mind.
How has website development changed?
With the rise of PHP to the top of the language heap in terms of developer adoption and web usage at-large, it's no surprise that the top three open-source web content management systems in use today are written in PHP, namely--Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress. While features and functionality are comparable amongst the three, deciding which system to implement can ultimately hinge on several factors that vary across organizations and roles.

Figuring Out Flavors
Flavors—sometimes you want 'em, sometimes you don't. At least that seems to be what is going on in the beverage business these days. For some categories, the greater variety of flavors a beverage can come in, the better. For others, coming out with a bunch of new flavors may actually do more harm than good. The trick is figuring out exactly where your brand falls when it comes to flavor innovation.
So, which beverage categories are ripe for more flavor innovation and which appear to have peaked in this regard?
One category that could see more flavor innovation in this new year is CSDs. It's a category that could use some new excitement to help reverse declining sales, and some innovative flavors—tastefully done, mind you—could be just what it needs. So far, much of the flavor innovation in soda has been designed to appeal to younger drinkers. But I'll bet that some grown-up flavors, using more wholesome ingredients, could catch the interest of older drinkers.
On the alcohol front, the new year brings some very interesting developments when it comes to flavors. For one thing, a study released just as 2013 was coming to a close revealed that flavored vodkas—an enormously popular trend which has really boosted this category—may have already peaked in popularity. Restaurant Sciences LLC, , an independent firm that closely tracks food and beverage product sales throughout the foodservice industry in North America, reported that the sales of on-premise flavored vodkas fell 11.7 percent from Q3 2012 to Q3 2013. Analyzing more than 170 million drink orders, the organization uncovered that flavored vodkas lost nearly one percent of their on-premise spirits market share from Q3 2012 to Q3 2013. So, it appears that while flavored vodkas remain quite popular, consumers may not be open to any additional flavors for their vodka in 2014.
Another spirits segment where flavors can be tricky is whiskey. The Wall Street Journal reported that Brown-Forman Corp. Chief Executive Paul Varga plans to take a "conservative" approach to rolling out new flavors for Jack Daniel's. While Tennessee Honey, introduced in 2011, has done great, Varga and his team have correctly realized that for some beverages, too much flavor can go too far. After all, when it comes to a heritage brand like Jack Daniel's, already savored so much for its inherent flavor, too much tinkering can probably do more harm than good.

BUFFALO (AP) � A collector credits a hunch with helping him land one of just 100 sheets of stamps recently issued by the United States Postal Service featuring a corrected version of its rare and famous error, the 1918 �inverted Jenny.�
Art Van Riper bought the stamps in Waverly, N.Y., after reading that the Postal Service had printed a new batch of inverted Jenny stamps celebrating the 95-year-old edition that, by mistake, featured an upside-down biplane.
He also read that, as a way to draw more people into stamp collecting, the Postal Service randomly distributed 100 sheets featuring the plane right-side up among the 2.2 million sheets replicating the original and distributed nationwide.
�I needed some stamps and thought �what the heck,�� Van Riper said by phone earlier this month from his Sayre, Pa., home, on the New York border. �I just had a feeling that maybe there would be one in Waverly.�
He intended to purchase five sheets of the $2 stamps, at $12 a sheet, and use them to mail Christmas presents and for stocking stuffers. Postal clerk Betty Gable persuaded him to take more.
�I told him our office had 45 and he might as well buy them all,� she said. The last one would probably be the one with the right-side up airplane, she told him.
�I�ll be a son-of-a-gun it was,� said Van Riper, who has a jewelry store and said he collects oddities ranging from baseball cards to old steins.
Van Riper�s was the fourth of the 100 sheets to turn up since the post office launched the campaign in September, USPS spokesman Mark Saunders said. One of the four is listed at $25,000 online, Van Riper said, but he doesn�t have plans to sell his sheet.
Among stamp collectors, the inverted Jenny, produced by a printing error, is gold. Only one sheet of 100 stamps commemorating the nation�s first airmail flight was sold. One of the stamps recently sold for $977,000, according to the Postal Service.

North Korea has made serious threats since the United Nations' decision to inspect ships entering Korea for supplies that help its nuclear bomb-making program. Analysts say they might launch a missile towards Hawaii July 4.
The rogue nation has a massive stockpile of chemical weapons which is as threatening as its nuclear program, analysts said Thursday. This is one area of weaponry seldom discussed, but equally serious in terms of North Korea's ambitions.
Tensions are high in the region, according to a Japanese report, that added North Korea may fire its most advanced ballistic missile in the direction of Hawaii on or about July 4, Independence Day, in order to make a statement. It was three years ago North Korea tried to do that and failed, but this time the concern is it might be successful.
Although the missile launch is not expected to actually reach Hawaii or any other U.S. territory, it would come as a serious blow to the international community that unanimously, through the United Nations, told Korea not to continue its weapons program. In response North Korea has answered with threats of war and promises to expand its nuclear bomb-making program.
One of the worst issues related to North Korea's stance is that it has so little contact with the outside world, that unlike Iran there aren't numbers of people with Internet connections to reach out to inform the international community what is going on inside the country. Two journalists were recently arrested and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering North Korea, according to accusations made against them.
A secretive country, with massive stockpiles of both nuclear and chemical weapons, angry, unafraid and with a leader considered crazy and without conscience could create serious harm, according to authorities; and therefore negotiations have been cautious. This latest concern, as described by the analyst, is a serious threat to peace and more high profile, some say, than the protest and demonstrations against the election in Iran.

Don't you think after spending trillions of dollars on the military, navy, and air force the Chinese would want a direct confrontation with the western alliances.

I told him that the $500 min was not going to happen. He actually replied that he would issue a refund. Guess what, the refund never happened & he won't repond to any emails I sent.

I don't think you should allocate the page. You should

What is a Native Speaker?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
October 26, 2013
In a world that seems to keep getting smaller and smaller, the need for localization has never been greater.
You may have heard the term "native speaker" being used, particularly in translation circles or when spotting a job posting targeted to people living in a specific geographical area.
Why should companies hire native speakers? What sort of an edge do native speakers have over other voice talent who, while capable of communicating in said language, were not raised speaking it?
Find out why your mother tongue can make all the difference in today's VOX Daily!
I Love Native Speakers
You might be wondering why I'm so excited about Native Speakers. Here's why.
In a recent conversation with Spanish voice over talent, Simone Fojgiel, I learned that 70% of the projects she receives from her clients that were translated from English into Spanish required revisions. Some even needed complete overhauls due to poor translation work. For the record, we're not talking the odd script here and there...we're talking nearly three quarters of all submitted scripts!
Before we start pointing fingers at translators in general, we need to take a deep breath and consider why some translations may be poor, inaccurate or altogether baffling. My dear friends, it all comes to down to whether or not the translator is a native speaker of the language they're translating in.
To give you an example, I am a native speaker of the English language, and more specifically, English as it is spoken in Canada. Drill down further still, I speak English in the Province of Ontario. On a regional level, I come from the southwest. The language I was raised speaking was English, I'm fluent in English, understand colloquialisms, proper intonation and the like. To put it succinctly, I am a native speaker of the English spoken in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.
Habla Español?
When writing a feature on Voice Over Times called "Is Your Spanish Getting Lost in Translation?" I came to learn that are a great many, indeed more than two, designated varieties of Spanish.
Most of the time, we think about the Spanish of Spain and then the Spanish spoken in Latin American countries. Can you even name three dialects of Spanish actively employed today? Here's a list:
- Bolivian Spanish
- Caribbean Spanish
- Central American Spanish
- Andean Spanish
- Chilean Spanish
- Colombian - Ecuadorian Spanish
- Mexican Spanish
- Northern Mexican Spanish
- Paraguayan Spanish
- Peruvian Spanish
- Puerto Rican Spanish
- Spanish from the River Plate or Buenos Aires Spanish or Montevideo Spanish
Let's not forget Neutral Latin American Spanish. It's a great bridge dialect so to speak that is recognizable to a wide spectrum of Spanish speakers.
To Serve and Protect
Something I love about Simone is that she's made it her mission to protect, preserve and propel the brand image of her English clients as they step out boldly in effort to communicate to Spanish speaking audiences.
She'll stop at nothing to keep bad translations at bay in order to shape the client's message to match the heart language of those meant to hear it. After years in advertising and broadcast radio, Simone found an opportunity to use her linguistic gifts to serve as a voice director for Spanish productions.
In addition to reviewing, prepping and even writing copy for her clients, Simone is actively involved in directing the voice-over talent to guarantee their performance is just right for the target audience. Performance means their ability to phrase well, to have good diction, know where to inflect and how as well as grasp the copywriter's intent. Having a native speaker directing a session is just as important as having a native speaker voicing in the booth. After all, getting the message right is a team sport.
6 Reasons Why Native Speakers Are Awesome
- They understand their audiences
- Their audiences understand them
- They connect on a different level with their audience
- They require less technical coaching
- A native speaker "gets" the script
- Native speakers can catch and correct errors in the script
Do You Embrace Your Native Tongue?
If you're actively promoting your native tongue, good on you! Authenticity in voice-over is a great thing and exactly what is required.
Comment to let me know how you position yourself as a native speaker and how that's worked out for you.

Living in Istanbul, Turkey, I am always identified as a "native speaker" of English. It's interesting how this phrase has become both a part of my identity, and is central to my local marketing of my voiceover services.
More often than not there is an implicit expectation that my role in a recording session is not just to give my best vocal performance, but that I will "tidy up" the script, if necessary. It is, however, essential to do this sensitively and check for permission before changing anything. Here knowledge of the original language (in my case, Turkish) is helpful as in making a correction the purpose not just to correct a simple error, but to properly convey the intended meaning.
I'm sure we have lots of great experiences to share, my recent favourite was the translator (of a documentary) who apologised to me saying, "I'm sorry, I don't know English very well". I'd already understood that!
Thanks for highlighting Simone's work. She is a true ambassador for Spanish, with a voice that makes angels sing...
Simone is awesome!
And should be commended for her efforts to strive for excellence on her clients' behalf.
There was a similar discussion about "native" in one of my LinkedIn groups just this week!
My mother-tongue is German - born and raised in Switzerland - but I've been living in the US for so long that my German has an "accent creep". Although I am a "native", I don't always book the German (or French) jobs due to the American English melody and tone that has snuck into my German. So I struggle with the definition of "native".
I am a Bermudian-American Voice Over Performer, born while my Bermudian Mother was a foreign student. I was raised both places. Spending my earliest years and every summer in Bermuda and educated in the U.S., I find that I am most often hired for work with my Bermudian accent, or a British accent and least of all hired to speak as an American. This was also true in my early days, when I worked on camera. I spent time and money in college taking classes to neutralize my "accents," only to find them an asset in the voice over world! This was a great article!Posted by:
Hi Stephanie!
Lovely reading your article on Native speakers. I have experienced much what you write so it all rang a bell very close to home!
In my case, I can say I am as bi-lingual as it gets (English-somewhere along the trans-Atlantic belt) and Spanish (ranging from Castillian down to my "native" Canary Islands). So often I have received texts in English (from Spanish clients) and Spanish texts (from English clients) and had to spend hours trying to make sure the texts not only were grammatically correct, but flowed smoothly. Of course, clients often don't appreciate the extra effort involved, and neither does extra compensation for the task occur to them.
But, as a professional I loathe having to voice a script if the grammar, or sentence structure isn't just right. But the client's the boss, and as the saying goes, when they say jump, you say how high!Posted by:
Okay, but who decides who's a native speaker then?
As Professor Deborah Cameron famously pointed out, UK statistics suggest that the test for British citizenship applicants advantages those native speakers of white European ancestry, as if they were more native than their black counterparts...
Moreover, so-called "foreign" accents and dialects are as legitimate as so-called "native" accents and dialects. The world is always more diverse than what we think. It's not because we don't recognize an accent that it is foreign. It's just foreign to "us" (but who is "us" then?)
"It all comes to down to whether or not the translator is a native speaker of the language they're translating in."
No it doesn't. It has nothing to do with identity.
It all comes done to whether the translation fits its purpose - nothing more, nothing less.Posted by:

On a recent REO deal, I had to call Freddie Mac directly to get a signature even though I was representing the buyer because the listing agent wouldn't do anything but tell us to wait(everyday for two weeks waiting to close gets a bit old) and escrow didn't have the right contact people. The next day after my phone call and we got the document and were able to close.
If it's any consolation, your closing later in the month will mean less closing costs for you(less property taxes and prepaid interest).
Good luck,
Remember, the banks view it...if at all...as just business as usual.
Good luck,
Joan Wilson Realtor
Banks can be a little slow on responses or provide none at all. This unfortunately happens but if you are with an agent experienced with the REO LISTING side of the transaction, your headaches will be all but eliminated because they will be able to clearly communicate timelines and procedures in the bank world.
As for waiving the per diem, this is completely subjective depending on the selling Bank. In this case the per diem should not be waived because the delay was caused by "your" lender. In many cases the seller requests you use their preferred lender. If you did this, most likely the extension will be granted with no per diem, if you did not do this, chances are you will still get the extension but will be hit with the per diem fees.
The advice I saw below about having your agent "stand firm" may end up hurting you. The reality is you violated the terms of the contract. The best defense to this would have been a good offense when the contract was first being negotiated. Should they ask for it to be waived???? Absolutely, but how they go about doing this can make all the difference.
Another thing not mentioned is your deposit. If you end up "standing firm" then you run the chance of losing the home and losing your deposit. Your contingency period most likely expired and thus your deposit is live.
What we typically see is the lender paying for the per diem not the buyer. Again this does need to be negotiated but a good agent can help you in this area as well.
We have closed over 100 bank deals in the last year working on the listing side and buying side, I see a lot of mis-information out there.
Unfortunately, the lender is on your side of the transaction so he needs to make sure things are done in a timely manner so you dont get stuck with per diem fees. Most of the time the bank will allow one extension without fees. If you need to extend again they may want to charge the entire per diem. I had a transaction that went 32 days over. We were able to negotiate the per diem be only $900 instead of $3200 (100 per day with some banks). If they havent answered yet its most likely that the listing agent hasnt received a response. I would have your agent call the listing agent at least twice a day to get an answer. Sometimes these listing agents with REOs have so many that they cant keep track of it all and if they dont have assistants with a good work ethic you get stuck playing the waiting game.
Since I just noticed the date on your posting, I hope everything closed already.
Happy New Year,
Claudia Morales, ABR
Century 21 Fairway Realty
Your best bet is not to get stressed out. COntact your agent and let then work it out. There is always an answer ( not always the one we want). These delays do happen frquently.
Banks want to sell the home they have in inventory so just hang in there.
Bank are quite overwhelmed with the amount of deals thay have so it is not uncommon to experience delays.
Good Luck

A Hamilton man who is accused of attacking a woman in a city parking garage was in court Friday for a preliminary hearing.
David Patrick, 27, is facing several charges, including abduction and gross sexual imposition.
Officials said Patrick was recently released from prison after serving time for another sex crime.
Authorities said Patrick allegedly sexually assaulted the woman in the same parking garage where his previous attack took place.
Authorities said the victim in Patrick's last attack was able to get away.
Court officials said the case has been forwarded to the Court of Common Pleas for consideration by the grand jury.
Patrick is scheduled to be arraigned next week. He is being held in the Butler County Jail.

Definition of Carolina parakeet in English:
Carolina parakeet
A small long-tailed parakeet with mainly green plumage and a yellow and orange head. It was formerly common in the eastern US but was exterminated by about 1920.
- Conuropsis (or Aratinga) carolinensis, family Psittacidae.
Example sentences

People have been getting into the festive spirit across the borough this month.
At Aquafyn in Dinnington the ladies swimming club got together out of the pool to celebrate the big day.
Instead of swimming they enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch at the pool.
Anston Greenlands School held a Christmas fair before the end of term.
There was lots going on for old and young alike with plenty of stalls to grab a few last minute presents.
Christmas celebrations have been in full swing for people receiving care from Rotherham's adult mental health inpatient unit.
Staff at Swallownest Court, which is run by Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), have arranged a whole host of activities for service users.
These included festive arts and crafts, decorating the wards, Christmas parties and even an inter-ward cake decorating competition.
Service users, carers and staff also enjoyed a special carol concert led by the Trust's Roman Catholic chaplain Father Andy Graydon, which was followed by tea and mince pies.
RDaSH modern matron John O'Grady said: "Christmas spirit can be in short supply for those whose lives are affected by mental illness, so we make a great effort to spread some festive joy to everyone in our care, along with their relatives and carers."
"There was a great turnout for the carol concert, which was a wonderfully uplifting event. It really brought everyone together and was a perfect way to kick-start the festive celebrations."

The International Space Station's (ISS) newest residents began their first full work week in charge of the orbital laboratory Monday and are settling in for their six-month mission.
ISS Expedition 14 commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin conducted standard maintenance, exercised and explored their orbital home.
The new ISS commander spent most of Monday performing maintenance tasks and exercising, while Tyurin familiarized himself with the station and its systems. They also spent two hours Tuesday conducting an emergency readiness, NASA officials said.
Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin joined ISS flight engineer Thomas Reiter, a German astronaut with the European Space Agency, who arrived at the station in July aboard NASA's shuttle Discovery as the third member the Expedition 13 crew.
The new Expedition 14 astronauts docked at the ISS on Sept. 20 with U.S. space tourist Anousheh Ansari, who returned to Earth on Sept. 28 with Expedition 13 commander Pavel Vinogradov and flight engineer Jeffrey Williams. Reiter will serve as an Expedition 14 flight engineer until his relief – NASA astronaut Sunita Williams – arrives in December.
"We could also see the landing of the [Soyuz] from our windows, and the reentry through the atmosphere was like a comet, like a star with a long tail, it looked gorgeous from up here," Lopez-Alegria said of the Expedition 13 landing.
New commander takes charge

"I don't know what that's going to be like, so I don't know how to prepare," Lopez-Alegria, 48, said of spending six months in space before flight. "I think when push comes to shove, a lot of that stuff becomes instinctive."
A captain in the U.S. Navy and an experienced naval aviator, Lopez-Alegria joined NASA's astronaut ranks in 1992, making his first spaceflight – aboard the shuttle Columbia during its STS-73 microgravity science mission – in October 1995. He then served as NASA's director of operations at Russia's Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City.
The veteran shuttle flyer also flew aboard NASA's STS-92 shuttle flight in 2000, and the STS-113 mission of 2002 – both ISS construction flights – racking up 42 days in Earth orbit and about 34 hours of spacewalking time during five extravehicular activities (EVAs).
Two NASA shuttle missions and four ISS spacewalks are scheduled during the Expedition 14 to support construction of the orbital laboratory.
"I consider it a privilege to be up there when it all happens," Lopez-Alegria said.
Lopez-Alegria and his wife Daria have one son, Nicolas. According to his NASA biography, the veteran astronaut is fond of sports, traveling and cooking, though it will be awhile before he gets another opportunity to employ his culinary skills.
"The food up here is edible," Lopez-Alegria said from the station's U.S.-built Destiny laboratory last week. "I do not have the pleasure to cook, what we do here in space is pretty much just hydrate envelopes with water and a syringe."
Lopez-Alegria said he plans to learn piano on the station's electric keyboard, practice video editing and participate in a journals experiment during his free time aboard the ISS.

For Tyurin, Expedition 14 is a return to the ISS after a previous 125-day stint as a flight engineer during the Expedition Three mission of 2001.
"I would say that the previous flight taught me to be patient," Tyurin said in a preflight NASA interview.
Born in Kolumna, Russia about 60 miles (96 kilometers) from Moscow, Tyurin now lives in Korolev – also near Moscow – with his wife Tatiana and daughter Alexandra.
"I took one item with me for the previous flight and I'm going to take it on this one," Tyurin said before Expedition 14. "It is a very simple thing. It is the key from my home."
Tyurin initially dreamed of becoming a professional hockey player, but his parents turned his attention to engineering and cosmonautics instead. Before joining the cosmonaut corps of Russia's Federal Space Agency in 1993, he obtained an engineering degree from the Moscow Aviation Institute with a focus on the mathematical models associated with flight.
"The spaceflight itself is a part of my job," said Tyurin, adding that he also studies the social and psychological effects of spaceflight. "I've worked for this program for a long time."
It is Tyurin who on Nov. 22 is expected to whack a golf ball into space during a Russian spacewalk as part of a commercial agreement between the Federal Space Agency and the Canadian firm Element 21. The cosmonaut took two golf classes to prepare for the upcoming orbital swing.
"To play golf in space, I do not need a high level of skill as a golf player," Tyurin said, adding that the sport is not widely popular in Russia. "But I certainly need to have some experience in the cultural aspect because, you know, usually people have some special language, or even special behavior. This is what I would like to learn."
The cultural aspect of human spaceflight is of keen interest to Tyurin, who said his mission includes several experiments around that subject.
"Well, there is a task, for example, that is basically learning of interaction between people," Tyurin said in a NASA interview. "Also, there are some areas of research that would be used to photograph some areas of technogenic, catastrophes and where people basically begin to damage nature, such as make fire, create smoke, throw bombs on each other."
Expedition 14's American-Russian-German crew combination is also an asset, he added.
"Personally, I think it's good to have an international crew," Tyurin said. "Because this is a way to learn cultural, social and international specifics. [It's] not just about technology, but some kind of human specifics."
