BEAVERTON, Ore.—Sometimes, it's kind of cool to be the "Lone Wolf", or in the case of this weekend, the "Lone Jayhawk" or "Lone Yellow Jacket."
At Nike's The Opening showcase event, the dominance of certain college programs is obvious. USC had eight kids on site, while traditional big-name programs like Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida State, Texas and Alabama all have at least five recruits there. There are 150 participants in town for the invite-only event at Nike's campus.
But Kansas and Georgia Tech, among others, are represented, too. It's just that they only have one recruit apiece, Colin Spencer and Shamire Devine, respectively. And each of them stands fiercely by his school.
"When people ask me where I'm going, I tell them I'm going to Kansas and I'm proud of it," said Spencer, a cornerback, who has been impressive in the combine portion of the event, as well as in coverage during 7-on-7 competition. "I just tell them how great a place it is if they ask, but I'm not trying to talk anybody specifically into coming there like some of the others do.
"People talk about where they're going here, and how many championships they're going to win there. I just figure if that happens, it happens, but that's in the future and we'll see how that is decided. It is the future, and anything could happen. We could win it, too."
Northwestern, Oklahoma, Miami, UCLA, Tennessee, Nebraska and Iowa also have only one commitment apiece at The Opening.
Programs like Kansas and Georgia Tech are hardly also-rans. While the Crimson Tide, Trojans and Fighting Irish get a lot of attention, the aforementioned programs win games too. Both programs have been to BCS Bowl games in the past five years, and both have had 10-plus wins recently.
Even though Spencer and Devine aren't exactly heading to Division III programs, the playful needling and prodding aimed at the lone recruits get can get old.
Devine, an offensive lineman and Georgia native, told Sporting News on Saturday that he thought he had discovered a way he could fight back.
"It only gets really bad when we start playing NCAA Football 2013," Devine joked, speaking of the soon-to-be released video game. "Of course, I pick Georgia Tech every time and I tell all of them that I'm about to run through them, that I'm about to run (Georgia Tech's tricky) triple-option to the outside of you every time.
"But I lost horribly when I played because honestly, I'd never played NCAA before. Oh well. The only sport I've really played on there is MMA (mixed martial arts)."
Devine said this competition feels similar to other things he's experienced before.
"It's just like going to a normal camp where you¹re representing your high school and you¹re the only one there," Devine said. "I just tell the undecided people that Georgia Tech is the best place to go for an education, and the skill position guys would have fun coming here."
Spencer said that even if his stock rises based on his performance at the camp, it would take a really good pitch by another coaching staff to get him to change his mind. He was very impressive in the first day of the camp, posting impressive marks in the SPARQ (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness) competition to catch the eye of the fellow participants and the representatives running the combine. He also looked good in coverage during the opening day of 7-on-7 competition on Saturday.
"One of the things that helped get me was the way that Coach (Charlie) Weis and Coach (Dave) Campo are doing things at Kansas," Spencer said. "I mean, I'm getting to work with (former NFL head coach) Coach Campo, and he's a really good guy. The players there at Kansas think the program is 100 percent on the rise, and they got rid of a lot of the kids and coaches they needed to get rid of. The difference is night and day and that's what I'm looking forward to, to be a part of that underdog team that rises back to the top.
"I've been told by some people that things might happen if I did well here, and I would talk and associate with anybody who is interested enough to talk to me, but it would have to be really special to even make me think about changing my mind."

POMONA >> Luminasia, a first-time exhibit of Chinese lanterns, will be one of the top attractions at the month-long Los Angeles County Fair that starts Friday and runs through Sept. 28.
The nightly show of about 300 hand-crafted pieces shaped like animals, flowers and landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Capitol Records building will be on display and is aimed at building a sense of wonder and discovery, said Michael Chee, director of marketing and public relations for Fairplex.
"This year our theme is focused around discovery," Chee said.
The usual array of carnival rides, food, animals, entertainment will be available.
For weeks, a group of about 50 Chinese artisans have been working in an area tucked between Picnic Hill and the Flower and Garden Pavilion turning heavy-duty wire, light bulbs and fabric into the lanterns.
"It's a fantastic exhibit and will be of interest to a wide audience," said Dale Coleman, vice president of sales, marketing and creative programming for the Los Angeles County Fair Association.
The exhibit consists of an array of lanterns similar to those that can be seen in Zigong in Sichuan Province, China, which is home to the Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival.
Aside from Luminasia, the Hall of Heroes is among the new attractions this year. Fairgoers will be able to learn about the science behind their favorite superheroes' fantastic powers. They will also learn about real-life heroes such as war heroes, firefighters and police officers and their deeds. The exhibit contains interactive components making it both educational and fun, organizers said.
Guests will visit the Fair and find "there is programming from the time we open to the time we close," Chee said. Longtime guests will find "there is going to be a strong array of new experiences."
Visitors will also find an expanded Farm area where people will learn about the crops they can grow in their gardens and how to use them in their meals, Chee said.
"It's going to be a combined agricultural, educational and dining experience," he said.
The fair is also home to the End of Summer Concert Series, which consists of 23 nights of entertainment in the grandstand. The concerts offer a wide range of musical genres offering something for every musical taste.
Among this year's performers are Charlie Wilson, Jamie Lynn Spears and Neon Trees. Also performing at grandstand will be Pentatonix, winners of season 3 of NBC's "The Sing-Off."
Roberto Tapia, a popular regional Mexican music recording artist and a judge on "La Voz Kids," the children's version of "The Voice" on the Telemundo network, will also perform at the Fair, as will Boyz II Men.
And then there's the food...
This year's deep-fried chicken skin and deep fried pecan pie will be part of the festivities.

A 13-year-old boy helped officials track down two would-be thieves Thursday morning by reporting the suspects after they forced their way into his Pontiac home, report Oakland County Sheriff's deputies.
The break-in was called in after midnight from the 100 block of Howard McNeil Street.
Deputies discovered that two Pontiac residents -- a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman -- had broken into the home, stolen several electronic items and ran away with them to the field behind the house.
The pair was found a short time later by a tracking dog unit. Both suspects were taken into custody.
Deputies found the electronics in the field behind the home, along with evidence inside the home that linked the suspects to the break-in, officials report.
The 13-year-old, who was at home alone, was not hurt.
Both suspects were lodged at the Oakland County Jail. The investigation remains open, detectives say.

Off the Charts
The market finished in positive territory Thursday ahead of tomorrow's jobs number. The Nasdaq was the strongest, gaining 0.52%, thanks in large part to Apple's (AAPL) potent negative to positive reversal. The stock was down about 3% again today following yesterday's harsh sell-off, but bounced hard to close the day up 1.57%.
Besides the fireworks with AAPL, it was a fairly lackluster day after the morning reversal. Stocks pushed higher in the first hour of the day and then momentum petered out over the rest of the session. The S&P (SPY) is holding up well since Monday's reversal as it digests above 1400. A good jobs number tomorrow could propel the S&P above 1420. There are some decent chart patterns setting up so be patient and ready to react when they trigger....568 more words left in this article.

text: For Boone hospital, no more 'busting at the seams' By Megan Workman October 4, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For several years, Boone Memorial Hospital has been "patching patches and remodeling dozens of times" to pass state inspections, the hospital's chief executive officer said Thursday.Tommy Mullins hopes that will change now that federal officials have approved a loan to build a new hospital.On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program approved the $31.8 million loan so that Boone Memorial can build, equip and furnish the new hospital. The loan, called a Community Facility Direct Loan, is to help develop essential community facilities in rural areas with fewer than 20,000 residents, according to the USDA.When Boone Memorial opened in 1964, 40 employees walked the halls, Mullins said. Today, 175 physicians, registered nurses and janitors work at the hospital.Over the years, the hospital has knocked down walls, replaced the roof and has had electrical and plumbing problems."Employee-wise, there are more people in here than there should be and that's not counting our patients," Mullins said. "We just have exceeded the intent of this building. We're busting at the seams."Mullins said the hospital has worked on plans to build a new facility for seven years.The total project will cost $34.3 million. Boone Memorial will raise the $2.5 million the USDA loan does not cover, Mullins said. The loan is not contingent on Boone Memorial raising that $2.5 million, but Mullins said he is confident the hospital can raise the money through a capital campaign, grants and philanthropic organizations.Boone Memorial switched from a county-owned hospital to a nonprofit community hospital in July 2012 so that it could raise donations for this project, Mullins said."It is so difficult to give to the county for another entity because it goes through the county books. But if you're a nonprofit community hospital, you can contribute directly to the hospital and take it off your taxes with no issues," Mullins said. "This was the driving reason for the new hospital to raise money."The new hospital will be nearly double the size of the existing 40,000-square-foot facility, located about a mile off U.S. 119 in Madison.The one-and-a-half story building will house a pharmacy and inpatient unit on the top floor. Each room will be a private room -- an improvement from the existing hospital's one- two- and four-bedroom options. "The rooms will be built not only for the patient but the patient's family," Mullins said. "They will be identical in design so a provider going in one room will know exactly where something is stored in any room. That's a big advantage."For the first time, Boone Memorial will have a surgery suite. Patients who need orthopedic surgery will be able to get it done in Madison, he said. The endoscopy surgery room will double in space and the physical-therapy space will be tripled.Boone Memorial will not add more beds because the government permits only 25 beds for critical-access hospitals, which are rural community hospitals that receive cost-based reimbursement.The new hospital is "going to be as green of a building as we can afford to be," Mullins said. The existing hospital is extremely energy inefficient, has inadequate environmental controls and the safety and security systems do not meet new standards. Five years from now, the building would not have been approved completely by state inspection agencies, he said.Mullins said the new hospital will use skylights to reduce the cost of electricity used on lighting and heating."It will be energy efficient and it will be designed to last for at least 50 years," Mullins said. "We have not designed it for our needs today, we have done the best to guess for the future and design it for years to come."The 18-month construction will begin no later than July 2013, he said. The new facility will stand right next to the existing hospital. Once the new hospital is finished, the old Boone Memorial will be torn down and the space used as a parking lot for the new hospital. Mullins said that would take six months. During the demolition of the old hospital, employees will be bussed from two parking lots off Boone Memorial's campus and patients will park in what is now the employee parking lot.Mullins said he anticipates the new hospital to attract more physicians. At least 20 people will be hired when it opens, he said.For now, Mullins, the hospital staff and the community are celebrating the good news, he said. Mullins has worked at Boone Memorial for 48 years -- the longest tenure for a hospital administrator in West Virginia, he said -- and he's excited to provide the community with a new hospital."The community heavily supports this facility," Mullins said. "The phone has been ringing off the hook from people who are happy and congratulating us."Reach Megan Workman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5113.

Former CFO for nonprofit health-care agency jailed for 6 years
March 25, 2013
He confessed to his boss.
His church next.
Then Timothy Lee Brown , 55, began the slow process of repaying the Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse Association the almost $500,000 he had siphoned from the nonprofit organization in the past decade. He sold his house, his car, cashed in his retirement and cooperated fully in a criminal investigation.
But he could never repay the lost trust.
"Not only did our hearts sink, it caused every one of us to look at every relationship we have and wonder because we trusted Tim so much," said RVNA Board member Mike Schmitt. "That was a very difficult piece of this. Then imagine how it feels to see someone you trusted so much … and to see him be walked out in handcuffs. It's just a very impactful."
This week, Brown walked out of a packed Weld District Court courtroom in handcuffs on his way to a six-year prison sentence, handed down by Weld District Court Judge Timothy Kerns. More than 100 members of his church came out in support of the longtime RVNA chief financial officer.

"It hurts to think that someone can be such a good person so much of their life, and you trust and believed in them and have that be the outcome," Schmitt said.
RVNA is a nonprofit organization that relies on donations and government grants to provide health care to indigent people in their homes. The organization serves both Weld and Larimer counties. RVNA assisted from 900-1,000 people in 2012 and provided more than 45,000 hours of service.
It's been a year since Brown confessed to his superiors at RVNA, that as CFO of the nonprofit, he was regularly stealing money by giving himself cash advances and using company credit cards to pay personal expenses since 2002. In December, he was immediately arrested and charged with felony theft in Weld District Court, to which he pleaded guilty, knowing he could be sent to prison for four to 12 years. In a civil complaint RVNA filed, he signed off on a judgment against him for $471,032; he had already repaid $333,000 by selling his house and his car, cashing his retirement and securing a loan from his family. He was ordered to repay $333,737 in the civil case, which was the remaining bill, plus interest.
But this was no feel-good story of redemption, Schmitt said. He said the only reason Brown confessed was that a sharp young auditor noticed a number that didn't make since in an annual audit and requested additional documentation.
"That's when Mr. Brown knew he was in trouble," Schmitt said. He then quickly confessed and was immediately fired.
Their first concern, obviously, was to ensure the financial losses didn't affect patient care. The RVNA's mission is to care for people without insurance or not enough insurance.
For four to five years, employees went without raises, Schmitt said, giving compliments to CEO Crystal Day for leading the organization through such times.
"It says mounds for their commitment to their community and the people they serve to continue in that very challenging job, even though they were not getting more money," Schmitt said.
Schmitt said the company hired a new CFO with several years of experience, and they put a CPA on the RVNA board — both of whom have created a plethora of changes to make sure there are enough checks and balances in the system.
As for that six-year sentence, Schmitt said the board was satisfied with the job of the prosecution and the court.
"It's certainly going to be a tough time for Mr. Brown, no doubt," he said. "It was tough for us, but hopefully he'll come out OK. His family and friends will hopefully be better off from it at some level."

GEA Farm Technologies is once again leading the way in bringing innovative products to today's progressive dairy producers with the patent pending FutureCow Prep System. The FutureCow Prep System uses a mechanical brush unit to effectively and reliably wash, disinfect, dry and stimulate teats prior to milking.
"Prepping cows with the FutureCow Prep System accomplishes all of the necessary pre-milking procedures in one easy step," said Chad Buchanan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GEA Farm Technologies, Inc. "Cows receive a consistent prep procedure, no matter who is milking and superior stimulation. Plus, dairy producers can potentially reduce labor costs and can certainly reduce operating costs by eliminating towels and laundry."
GEA Farm Technologies is now the exclusive distributor of the FutureCow Prep System, which is manufactured by Alpha Technology USA Corp. "Alpha's proven success in the field and their progressive technology make them an excellent partner for innovative products such as FutureCow," says Buchanan.
"Alpha Technology is excited about the opportunity to partner with GEA Farm Technologies. We will be able to expand the availability of FutureCow and improve the technology that supports the system," said Kevin Dole, President of Alpha Technology USA Corp. "Knowing that FutureCow is fully supported and installed by select GEA Farm Technologies dealers who have unsurpassed dairy equipment experience we maintain our commitment of providing producers reliable solutions that improve their dairy's profitability and performance."
Labor Savings
The FutureCow Prep System can provide a significant return on investment. Because cow prep can be more streamlined and efficient, many dairies have been able to eliminate labor in the parlor.
Increased Parlor Efficiency
Improvements in prep procedure efficiency also leads to improved parlor efficiency. FutureCow users report that they have gained valuable time per milking shift, after making the switch to this product, which can allow operators to milk more cows, or allow them time to perform other tasks during their shift. Also, the consistency in prep procedures and superior stimulation that FutureCow provides can improve milk flow rates and decrease milking times, which can further improve parlor throughput.
Improved Teat Health and Milk Quality
Cleaner, healthier teats are less prone to mastitis. FutureCow's durable, yet soft, multi-layered brush set accommodates all teat lengths, and assures teat-ends are properly cleaned before the milking unit is applied. Also, brush speed and pressure have been optimized for maximum stimulation, which contributes to less unit on-time and improved teat-end health.
Easy, Fixed Pricing
GEA Farm Technologies provides a flat rate billing program with the FutureCow product that is charged per cow, per month, and includes all consumables, regardless of usage. This assures producers a consistent, fixed cost that is much easier to manage financially.
"Our mission is to simply help today's progressive dairy producers become more profitable," adds Buchanan. "By bringing them products like the FutureCow Prep System, they can reduce their cost of doing business and improve their performance."
The FutureCow Prep System is fully-supported and installed by select GEA Farm Technologies dealers, carrying the WestfaliaSurge product line; a professional network available to local dairy operations 24/7.

Last year,2 of my friends and I went to a pacers game here in Indy.My 2 friends got drunker than hell.But anyways we had nose bleed seats,I pointed out to one of my friends were Bird was sitting.My friend then stood up looked at me and said "Im getting his autograph".I said "no you wont,dont you see all of those cops by him?".And off went my drunk friend,he showed back up 30-35 mins later with LB's autograph.He just happened to get lucky and slip by security,he was right by the pacers bench,he couldve reached over and gave Foster a high five.But anyways he went up to Bird,handed him his ticket,Bird signed it.My friend said "thank you sir,you are a legend".Bird kinda grinned.And that was that.
Not in elevators, but:
Colin Powell at the airport in Chicago while waiting for a connection to D.C. An airline staff member quickly ushered him away.
Spike Lee, in the summer of 2003, got into the taxi I got out of in New York City. I stopped him, mentioned the Pacers/Knicks rivalry, asked for a picture, & he obliged with a hearty handshake & generous smile (sadly, this happened the night before the east coast black out & the camera was either lost or stolen during the chaos).......
...& 2 days later, literally bumped into Larry Bird as he walked out of the Fieldhouse.
While in university soon after the 87 championship during the Little 500 weekend, Keith Smart sought refuge in my apartment from the wild partying taking place outside. He politely turned down a "funny cigarette" that was circling the room (as this was a bit
before the Pan AM games try outs) & departed soon thereafter. His buddy, a reserve guard on that same team who saw very little court time, was very enthusiastic about partaking.
Billy Knight (my all time favorite Pacer) at a now-defunct bowling alley.
Had an impassioned & intense brunch with Harry Belafonte once. He not-so-kindly asked the Carribean owner of a dance club in attendance, "How can you have peace with yourself for making your living by selling alcohol to our people?"
Nicholas Cage on Bourbon St while he was filming some totally forgettable movie.
Lots of famous jazz musicians & writers as I used to hang out in places where they hung out, & they were so easily accessible.
Johnny Rutherford at the Athletic Club mucho years ago.
I rode on a plane with Chris Mullin, his wife and kids right after the 1999 playoffs from Charlotte to Indy. VERY nice guy. Wife talked to me during the entire flight. He spent his time playing with his baby at the time. I didn't ask for an autograph as I thought it would be rude to ask while he was with his family on vacation.
Adam Duritz, Lead singer of the Counting Crows bought me a drink one night in a bar in New Orleans right before thier concert with Cracker in 1993. He talked with us for a few minutes before he had to go warm up. Very nice, down to earth guy. Been a HUGE fan ever since.
Did you see the Wayne Brady / Dave Chapelle skit on Chapelles show. Maybe the funniest 5 minutes of TV I have ever seen.Originally Posted by Jaydawg2270
I met Muhammed Ali at the Louisville Airport, got pictures and an autograph still got it, that was in 1985.
I was staying at a hotel in Indy for a training seminar and caught a Pacer game that night (vs. San Antonio) later about 11 PM I saw about 6 of the Pacers at TGI Fridays (the restaurant is in the motel I was at Marriot maybe?) Dale Davis was one of them, I think AD,Kenny Williams and Malik Sealy was there, most of the guys were from the Bench.
I also met Slick and Trainer David Craig on the elevator at Methodist Hospital, they were going to visit Mel Daniels who had just had a triple bypass the same day as my Mom.
"He wanted to get to that money time. Time when the hardware was on the table. That's when Roger was going to show up. So all we needed to do was stay close"
Darnell Hillman (Speaking of former teammate Roger Brown)
Oh yeah, forgot to add, I spent 3 days with Richard Karn(Al from Home Improvement) and Pat Simpson from HGTV at a Orchard Supply/Sear's Hardware manager convention one year. Rode in a Limo with them and partied every night for the three days. Fun guys. Great family guys. That was the most fun I had ever had at one of those things.
Bob Villa was at the convention too and got to meet him, but he was a D**K. He was that way to everyone around. He thought he was to good to spend any time with us non-famous people. VERY cocky.
I met Alex English, along with 2 other assistants of the Toronto Raptors (Jay Triano and Jim Todd).
Alex is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I was a little smaller than him - my brother was just as big. We had just finished watching a Cavs/Raptors game (the one where Lebron dropped 50 something), and were late getting out of there. We finally found a nice place to eat, and low and behold, I look beside me at the table and see Alex English. Just a really friendly guy and very approachable.
Bob Davie. Gene Keady. Joe Tiller. I stood next to Lynn Swann on the sidelines. Didn't realize it. Turned around. Nearly said, "Holy *****, that's Lynn Swann."
Erin Andrews. Mitch Daniels. His daughters (meow). Sat next to Ivan Maisel and Bob Kravitz for games before. Stacy Paetz. That other blond that roams Conseco. Both of which were wearing flock-me boots. Jesus.
A crap-ton more. They all blend together.
In no particular order, in no particular place, but only people with whom I've exchanged words:
Leonard Nimoy.
Steve Martin.
Lamar Odom.
Julie Delpy.
Hulk Hogan on roller skates (yes, roller skates) and then 6 months later Hulk Hogan sitting next to ...
Vern Troyner.
Jamie Foxx.
Jessica Alba.
Wee-man from Jackass.
Holly Hunter (and who I assumed was a daughter of hers) hiking on a trail.
I kicked Anthony Michael Hall out of a house party in 1993.
John Mellencamp angrily screamed at me when a landscape crew I was on worked at his house ("Hey LAWN BOY!!!" direct quote).
Flea from RHCP.
Brad Pitt.
George Clooney.
Pauly Shore.
John Corbitt.
Bobby Knight (jerk cut in front of me at the Marsh salad bar! )
Stacey Peralta.
Tony Hawk.
John Leguizamo.
Johnny Carson (he was in a car, so I guess that doesn't really count. It was kind of like spotting a rare eagle though).
All members of Radiohead.
Jeremy Piven.
Kid Rock.
Don Cheadle.
About 30 different reality TV losers.
The lady from the TV show La Femme Nikita.
Julia Roberts.
Paris Hilton.
Nick Carter's "jailbait" mother (that's what she called herself).
One of the lesser known Baldwins (I think it was Billy).
Many more, but I'm getting sick of listing them.
Most of these are from my short time in LA, but not all. If you live on the west side of LA, you can't throw a beer cup without hitting someone famous.
Not an NBA sighting or an elevator story, (but its the best I got).
I went to a Colorado Rockies game with a few friends and sat next to Heather Whitestone (1995 Miss America). Sad part was, I didn't recognize her. One of the people sitting in front of us pointed out the obvious and we spent the rest of the evening feeling like complete buffoons.
Good game and good lesson. Never ignore the attractive girl next to you.

USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin was contacted this weekend by new Tennessee coach Butch Jones about joining the Volunteers' coaching staff, according to sources.
Martin, a former quarterback who led Tennessee to a national title in 1998, is interested in the job, according to sources. If Martin left, USC would have four different wide receiver coaches in four years.
Martin could not be reached for comment Sunday..
During his introductory news conference Friday, Jones said he was interested in Martin.
"Obviously he's a great coach," Jones said. "We all understand what he's meant to this football program."
Coach Lane Kiffin must also hire a defensive coordinator. Among the candidates mentioned are San Diego Chargers assistant Joe Barry, Oregon State defensive coordinator Mark Banker and New Mexico State coach DeWayne Walker.
Also, two of the nine recruits USC hosted over the weekend - quarterback Max Browne and safety Su'a Cravens - are expected to enroll in January. Browne and Cravens flew to New York on Sunday to attend a ceremony for the Gatorade national player of the year awards.

|The Jungle rocks! Approach from parking area is short and sweet, rock quality is excellent, and the routes are superb - well deserving of those stars on the ratings. This place is a gem, well worth going out of your way to investigate. Beautiful setting, no crowds, some terrific established routes and the potential to put up additional ones. Be kind to this place, it deserves it!

|Check out the satellite image on this web site for crag directionals. The Lower Jungle and Distant Drum areas are always cooler and provide a great deal of shade. The Planet of the Apes is north facing for the first few routes and very tree covered near the middle. The Dark Continent has many north facing routes.

|Rock quality is awesome? Rhyolite, the crumbly version of Basalt..........
By Boissal
From: Small Lake, UT
Feb 29, 2012
|I found the rock to be more friendly than basalt... none of that razor-sharp tip-destroying nonsense. As for the crumbling, well, it makes for interesting climbing. I'll tip-toe lightly at the Jungle vs. pull on greasy jugs anytime.
By Roy Suggett
Mar 5, 2012
|Yep! The quality varies. Ross states the rock is "perfect" on his route "Dr. Livingstone I Presume" and I put up a route called "Flaky Chimp" that is...well...crumbly, but still good enough to have fun on. On another one of the better climbs, "Missing Link," the first twelve feet or so is a little loose and then becomes really good for the next seventy feet! The jams at the top are solid, smooth, perfect hands to exit. Pick and choose your climbs here and you can find some great routes with really quality rock.

Rhyolite is the crumbly version of basalt??? No! Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock, same as basalt - the difference between them is that rhyolite has high silica content, basalt has low silica. The significance of this for "crumbliness"? Zero. Rhyolite, in fact, is the extrusive counterpart (same mineralogic makeup) as granite. Of course, the degree of weathering - that can vary in any rock type and between and within climbing areas. You can find places (northern Rockies, Sierras, etc. - not the Jungle) where there is deteriorated weathered granite that is so crumbly it falls apart when you grab it - does that mean granite is crap? Obviously not - you have to look at the individual situation. And the comments from people who have been to the Jungle (including me) are that the rock is pretty darn nice!
Sorry to belabor the geology, I wanted to clear up the unconstructive comment from someone who has clearly never been there.
Look, if you don't like the rock quality at the Jungle, you better stick to climbing on plastic.

Never been there huh?
I stand by my statement, I've never spent so many hours cleaning a single route. After 10 hours of hammering I still didn't feel the route was clean. There are some areas of the jungle that have less than stellar rock, but other areas are solid. It's OK, people will still visit this area and enjoy themselves immensely.

|A BIG thank you to Roy Suggett for all the hard work that went into the creation of such a fine climbing area. We really enjoyed the both the trad, and sport climbs we did at the upper, and lower Jungle. After climbing we hiked to Powell Point, which was beautiful, and even spent some time camping & kayaking at Pine Lake. It made our weekend trip to your neck of the woods very worthwhile. Great memories- Thanks again!

"temperatures can and do regularly range between 90 degrees F. and -60 degrees F."
Really? regularly -60F?
By Roy Suggett
Jun 19, 2013
Yep! Just two years ago Bryce Canyon National Park at less than 8000 ft. recorded a -35 F. And the cell towers also confirm these extreme temp.s which are nearer the Jungle. Using common sense and a broad, long range time frame for geology, which was the focus of my point, if a -60 F. happens once a decade, well that's pretty regular for a rock. But I will change the word to "can" if that helps.
PS 12/6/13 nearby Panguitch (4400 ft. lower) recorded a -36 F.

I don't see this rock as rhyolite. It appears to me more as a dacite and andesite mix. The rotten stuff with big crystals that is found at the base of the Jungle cliffs seems to be dacite. The more solid and fine-grained rock in the middle and top looks like andesite with a weathered patina on the surface.
I collected a couple of samples and will query my geologist colleagues for confirmation.

|I agree. Read above under "Rock Quality"
By Alec LaLonde
Jul 1, 2013
|This is an exceptionally user-friendly area. Trails are well-groomed and cairned and the protection is generally excellent for both sport and trad climbs. Were it closer to an urban area, the Jungle would be very popular. It is quite similar in character to the Uintas, but much less crowded and with poorer-quality rock.

|Bravo to Roy for his labor of love, creating this truly special place... Big climbs. Scary climbs. Bolted gentle climbs or hair raising routes, whatever floats your boat, it is here, up high in the sky. Be sure to walk lower jungle all the way through distant drum. Marvel at king kong. Just seeing that line made my palms sweat! Thanks Roy et al.

|Roy--Safe to assume that what's on MP is the only guide available? Thanks
By Roy Suggett
Jan 7, 2015
|I am conflicted about a guide. I want to make it easy for those who venture up but also want to be "green" and not print something that will need to be updated many times in the near future. The phone app from "Rakkup" may be a solution but it is still awkward to set up. With only 170+ routes in the Jungle, perhaps it should wait?

|Just got back from the Jungle, brought some students to there to teach lead climbing. We hit, Pangea, Lower Jungle, Distant Drums, and Flying Raptors Area (thanks for the suggestion Roy), all awesome! Great areas with a few good moderates but it really shines if you are a 5.10 and up climber. I will definitely be back.

Some kind soul(s) built a new campsite at the hair pin turn "under" the Upper Jungle walls and talus. Thanks. Also, some folks left a clean camp complete with fire wood and beer down near where I often reside. Again, thank you. I look forward to trying the Moab micro brew.
(edit 8/16/16) Some ass tore down the exquisite rock work (see comment above) forming a wind break and built in oven/fire place that formed a beautiful arch and was well designed. USFS? Why?

Hi all! I'm a beginner web designer. I've just gotten my first few clients and will make enough money to buy better programs and tools that I will need. Currently I use GIMP and have been using it for around 5-6 years, haha! It's a good program but I need something more. I want to be able to create website icons and logos mostly. It's very hard to do in GIMP and GIMP doesn't save them as the right file type. I also still need to be able to do simple edits to photos (flipping, color enhancement, cropping, etc) and make complex photo manipulations. Eventually I also want to learn how to make and print brochures, flyers, business cards, etc.
What are some good programs, tools, etc that I need to be looking at right now? A list from most important to least would be great!Currently what I'm using:
HP Laptop (not even mine. i've been borrowing it from a family member)Small nightstand as deskNot-so-comfy chair
GIMP 2.8 as graphics programNotepad++ for HTML & CSS codingChrome, IE, and Firefox for browser testing
What filetype are you trying to use?
Chrome, IE, and Firefox for browser testing
Are you using the firebug and web developer tools addons?
I want to be able to save icons as scalable vectors so .svg or something and I don't think GIMP does that. Also no I have never used firebug or any such thing. I've heard of firebug but not quite sure what it is or how it works.
GIMP supports importing and exporting of SVG 1.1. You may have to use the export feature, rather than the "save as" feature.
Firebug is a tool you can use to see the final HTML, CSS, and DOM (and more) of a rendered website. This helps with troubleshooting and testing.
Oh! Thanks so much. I'll check into both. Thanks again!
Seems you are squared away for the image software. Did you know that there are a lot of free web development tools out there as well? You could look into Aptana or Netbeans instead of using Notepad++. They are very handy (and free) programs.
Here is also a list of some other ones,http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/best-free-web-design-software-10-programs-to-get-the-job-done-1138669
Also, you can get a copy of photshop elements for about 99 dollars. It's a dumbed down version of the full program.
Hope that helps,
I am using firebug and I think it is best. NO need to go any where. Firebug is too which one show us on live website how we can apply changes in website files. I suggest you firebug and Dreamveiwer..
Dreamweaver is about $400 retail. It isn't the best option, as it tends to spit out garbage code when using the WYSIWYG editor.
More and more people (as well as myself) are starting to use Sublime Text 2. I went through a lot of editors (crimson editor, jEdit, NetBeans, Notepad++), but Sublime Text 2 beats them all. It's incredibly fast, and there a lot of nice features, like multiple cursors, jump to anything, etc.
If you want to create vector images, you can have a look at inkscape. Haven't used it myself, but I hear good things about it.

Mortgage Debt Cancellation Relief
On occasion, a lender will forgive some portion of a borrower's debt. The general tax rule that applies to any debt forgiveness is that the amount forgiven is treated as taxable income to the borrower. Some exceptions to this rule are available, but, until 2007, when a lender forgave all or part of a mortgage debt (such as in so-called "short sales," foreclosures and "workouts"), the borrower was required to pay tax on the debt forgiven.
A law enacted in 2007 provided temporary relief to troubled borrowers when some portion of mortgage debt is forgiven. That relief has expired and been extended several times. The last extension provided relief for debt forgiven through Dec. 31, 2016.
NAR supports an exclusion from taxation of the "phantom income" generated when all or a portion of a mortgage loan is forgiven.

Thanks for all the suggestions about transcribing. I don't think I need super-detailed transcripts, just the basic dialogue in a searchable digital format so when I want to find every comment about "subject X" I can easily locate them.
But I am a little confused about the best format to use for the clips – I want something easily shared, with reel# and timecode, visual as well as audio, and easy for the transcriber to start and stop. I was going to just make low resolution QT clips with timecode burned in and assume the transcriber can play them back and forth as needed. Does that work? That way I could share everything by ftp. Thx!
Tue 29 Jan 2008
boyd, i haven't asked for the transcriber to notate any "tone changes" in a subject's speech, but i'm sure that would be helpful to have somewhere. but i'm assuming that would add time and money to the transcription. the only tone change that would be easy to note would be a "..." between words.
dean, what you've described would definitely work. the only disadvantage of that method is that it's going to take you awhile to render BITC to each clip, and then export out each compressed file. but if you've got the time, any transcriptionist should be able to handle your footage perfectly well.
one alternative is to buy a cheap hard drive, load all of the full resolution QT clips you want transcribed on that drive, and then send that to your transcriber. using that method, you don't have to include BITC, b/c QT can automatically bring up each clip's native TC in the viewing window. (btw, if you compress your clip, we've found that you lose that track that remembers the native TC.) if you choose to do this, then just be sure that your transcriber has the same system (Mac or PC) that you have. if you have a Mac and they have a PC, then you'll have to buy a copy of MacDrive ($40) so that they can read your drive properly. That's what we ended up doing, and MacDrive works like a dream (despite what some of the reviews said).
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Matt, presume you already know most of Pare Lorentz' work:
Dean, wish I could offer you advice beyond the great ideas others have already shared here. I actually transcribe my own films...which is one of many reasons they take so long. I don't do it out of thriftiness alone but also because it makes me more familiar with the nuances of the material. What you may want to do with all your footage is to do a first look-through and jot down notes of key quotes you like maybe with a system of keywords (your "subject x"). Then narrow that down to the tapes you know you want to use and give that to a professional transcriber.
Wed 30 Jan 2008
I'm back . . . well, not really back . . . I'm shooting this week and next, and things are going really well so far. Better than I could expect, yet there are things I didn't anticipate, like how hard it is to direct when you don't speak the language!
So, now that I'm working in a context, I need to revisit a question I posted a few weeks back. I'm shooting in small village in Italy and while the Italian spoken here is not necessarily dialect, it's . . . well, it's its own thing.
But my dilemma was that my DP goes back to Milan when we're finished, and I go back to the States. I'd like to begin editing when I get back but I'll need to hire someone fluent in Italian (and especially astute to pick up this particular Italian spoken here).
How does it work with you're shooting in a language that's not your own in terms of translation? How does the editor work in another language?
I'm back to wondering if I should just work with my DP on this – like stop the shoot a few days early and sit with him and edit (it's the only way we can be together) (otherwise, he goes back to work the day after the shoot is over) . . . or do I go back to the States and find an Italian-English speaking editor?
We'll have about 20 hours of footage on PAL (we don't need to go into that again).
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Darla, why not simply find someone who understands the dialect to help you make english transcripts from the footage? Plenty of editors cut footage referencing the transcripts but without speaking the language.
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Good idea, Doug. That's what I'm thinking – so I'm going to ask a very basic question now. . . how would I do that? Give them the footage? Sit down with them? Would they type it out? Record it (so essentially it would be like dubbing?)
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Darla, I've edited extensively in Chinese and my grasp of the language is really poor so I've come up with a method that works for me (and your mileage may vary).
Not sure what system you're using, I use FCP, but this method should work in other NLEs. I put each captured tape or clip in its own sequence. I then go into the Text Generator and select Outline Text. You may want to spend a little time here playing with the font, size, and outline. Don't make it too big or too small. And watch your placement in the canvas – you want to stay title safe.
I then drop that onto track 2. I try to work in small increments, with 3 seconds being about average. In longer sentences, I could have 2 or 3 or more text clips. On the timeline, these are very easy to duplicate with Option+drag. If there is more than one speaker, I dedicate separate tracks for each one. I try to stay with one line, maybe two lines of text, but never more than 2 lines per subtitle.
I start each text clip on the frame they start speaking, and end it on the frame they end speaking. While that's not what I'd necessarily do for the final subtitling, it's important for the initial edit.
The text generator is very graphics intensive and I find after about 10 minutes or so, each clip needs to render and my computer starts running slow. At this point, I'll split up the clip (depends on how long your captured media is).
The last thing I'll add is the TC reader. Once that's in, I'll export each sequence out as a QT movie. Then I"ll reimport that movie back into the project. I now have my translation on the media and I can edit it like any other dialogue footage. I don't need to reference back to a paper translation and try to figure out which word means what.
As I near a fine cut, using the time code on the QT files, I can go back to the original sequences, and cut in the original footage with the subtitles. Again, depending on how many subtitles you have, this may be graphics intensive. For my last project that was 45 minutes long and had a ton of subtitles, I created sequences for each chapter, then nested them, so my main sequence had 9 nests in it.
Some additional thoughts. You may want to have more than one translator look at your footage. There are subtleties in language that are really important in editing. What a person says and what a person means can be two different things and a straight translation often doesn't help you with that. Speaking only for myself, I base a lot of editing decisions, and story development, on the meaning and subtext of the words, not only on the words themselves.
The other part of this equation is that a verbatim translation may be disjointed in English, so there is a trick to constructing the English phrasing, that sounds good, with good word choices, that is faithful to what was actually said. It depends how good the translator is, and how fluent they are in both languages.
Anyways, just one workflow option. May not be the best, but it works for me.
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Can anyone recommend digital production software for a PC. Adobe and Avid seem to be the top of the line. I'm a newcomer, so maybe I'd be able to get by with a prosumer version, before moving on to the higher level professional grade stuff.
I suppose the most important features would be multiple video/audio track import and editing (with storyboard interface) and a comprehensive selection of web conversion tools.
Whoever writes your translation needs to transcribe the material exactly as you'd do if it were in English. This means that you need to write the timecode corresponding to the begininng of each sentence (or paragraph, then you write the text corresponding to the sentence or paragraph and immediately after you write the timecode corresponding to the end of this bite of dialogue/commentary.
In this manner, your editor has the "in" and "out" points for each sentence/paragraph just as she/he would if they were editing in English, so it makes no difference at all.
This is a sample of a transcript in Italian of commentary by actor/director Nanni Moretti (he's telling a story in a theater in Pescara (from a documentary of mine about Nanni Moretti).
00.12 Allora… Io proverò a raccontare il mio rapporto con la politica… Poi […] mi interromperò tra un pò quando arriverà Luciano D'Alfonso per il suo saluto. Proverò a raccontare il mio rapporto con la politica in questi ultimi trent'anni, naturalmente soffermandomi di più sull'ultimo anno e mezzo che, imprevedibelmente soprattutto per me- mi ha visto in prima persona persona impegnarmi in politica… Non me lo sarei mai aspettato da me stesso… 00.54
00.54 … Ecco quindi incomincerò molto da lontano, andrò molto veloce… Naturalmente anche… E andrò veloce anche perchè il mio rapporto con la politica è stato così… Intermittente come quello di tanti cittadini, a volte più interessati, a volte meno… A volte delusi, a volte impegnati in prima persona… 1.18
1.20 …Ecco, il sessantotto –credo che molti di voi siano nati dopo il sessantotto- il sessantotto è arrivato un pò troppo presto per me, io ho fatto politica un pò a scuola… gli ultimi tre anni di liceo dal '70 al '72. Nel sessantotto la mia giornata tipo era la mattina a scuola dove abbastanza mi annoiavo… 1.50
1.50 …Il pomeriggio al cinema Nuovo Olimpia, che era un cinema d'Essai molto famoso a Roma – ogni giorno cambiava film, vecchi film, classici… – e la sera in piscine: giocavo a pallanuoto… Tra parentesi: la mia ultima partita di pallanuoto l'ho giocata proprio qui a Pescara nell'estate dell'86, chiusa parentesi. 2.13
2.13 Ecco quindi questa era la mia giornata tipo nel '68 e… Diciamo che ho cominciato un pò a interessarmi… Un pò a fare politica qualche anno dopo: gli ultimi due o tre anni di liceo. E devo dire che almeno per quanto riguarda così la…La Sinistra extra-parlamentare di cui io facevo parte… 2.41
Here's an example of a transcript in English (from my documentary on The Transition).
Wilton Wynn – part 1
00.28 WOLF: Ok, go ahead Wilton…
00.30 WYNN: I was in the piazza the evening that Pope John died, watching his window, and the contrast – he was very loved, as you know: a lovable Pope, very popular… he had been ill a long time and now he died, but… There was a crowd in the corner of the Piazza- …Nothing, nothing… Nothing to compare with the vigils over there during John Paul's last illness as a reflection of the tremendous impact of the person, of the man…
1.35 WOLF: You were mentioning that with the death of JPII something changed in your life too, what exactly were you talking about?
2.04 WYNN: Well… I've been a newsman for more than forty years, a foreign correspondent. I retired twenty years ago but I've continued to keep an eye on things and to do some writings, contributions to different magazines. But my last great story was Pope John Paul the Second and with his death, that brought an end to my career. That was it.
2.35 There is nothing more. I don't follow things as a newsman anymore, I read the newspapers and watch tv, but I'm not there myself, I'm not in contact myself with these news sources. And I hadn't realize that it would make such a difference, but I see it now!
2.58 WOLF: But Pope John Paul made a great difference even in your life. I remember once you told me you became Catholic after covering JPII…
3.11 WYNN: Very interesting… The newspaper USA TODAY at the time of the Pope's funeral carried, half a page, a story about how an old newsman like me became a Catholic after covering trips of the Pope and getting closer to him. It was… he never tried to convert me, we've talked together about his thoughts, his ideas and so on… he never…
3.45 WOLF: Tell me how it happened.
3.48 WYNN: I started with his first trip to Mexico, just two months after he was elected Pope, and you know… I've flown with Pope Paul before him – a couple of trips and Pope Paul used to come to the press section of the plain and his secretary would read our name-tags and introduce us and the Pope would say "Happy to have you on board. Thank you. Welcome,†and go on.
4.18 And I've wondered "Would this Pope be the same?â€, but we heard he was coming back to talk to us. And we all were lined up to meet him, one at a time. I happened to be there, I think I was number 2. When he came in, I didn't know: should I ask a question or should I just do the greeting? I decided I'll ask him a question to see if he's ready to talk.
4.45 I asked an innocuous question: "Would you ever like to visit United States?†He stopped, he looked down at the floor and thought a moment, and then he said: "I think it will be necessary though the date has not yet been set.†5'00
When you get to the editing stage, you arrange the translated paragraphs of transcript in the desired order just as you'd do if it were English dialogue. You write the tape number and the timecode of every selcted sentence/paragraph, that way, your editor just cuts and pastes each soundbite as though it were English. Working in such fashion, there is no need for you – or the editor – to understand the foreign langueage in which your subjects have spoken.
The "In" and "out" points also give you precise reference points for the beginning and end of corresponding subtitles or translated dialogue.
Herewith you can see a small bit of version 1 of the script of The Transition. In this case, there were 7 different versions of this script, in others there have been many more.

Thursday, March 31, 2005 – Graphic re Vatican statement
Wilton Wynn 1
17.28 WYNN: At the beginning I thought he would recover, because I had gone through so many of these cases where, [as you say], he would collapse or he would have to be rushed to the hospital. And then there would be days of uncertainty. And then, in the end, he would emerge. And I, somehow, had the feeling he would come through this one, as well. I kept vigil when he was shot back in 1981, I guess it was. Well, we didn't know then: he was between life and death. And then he went on and on. All his illnesses, his operations, his falls, and so on, 18.12 So that we were kind of used to his going to hospital and having medical bulletins every day, and all that. And then, he'd slowly emerge.
18.24 So, it was of course – as days went by, you know – it became clearer that this probably would be the end. Especially when the Vatican made no secret of the fact that it was extremely serious. But at the beginning I thought he had pulled through.
John Thavis 1
4.30 [I think it was interesting because] even the Vatican, at that point, was preparing everyone for the Pope's death. And yet as the Pope hang on, for another day or day and-a-half, we in the Vatican press-room began looking at each other and thinking "Is this gonna be another round? Are we going to see him come back to the window one more time perhaps?†Well, it was not to be.
4.56 But the fact is: this Pope bounced back from so many physical adversities that we'd become kind of used to it. And there was a sense, even among reporters – who had been waiting for the end for so many years – that maybe they weren't there yet.
John Allen part 1
30.26.0 Well, for one thing, John Paul II hadn't been just suffering in the last 6
months of his life, he'd been suffering for the last several years of his life. f, at all the different times people had written him off, that he had actually gone off the stage, he would have died a thousand deaths. So, I think part of it was, it wasn't clear until the very very end that this was going to, in fact, be the end. A lot of us who had been tracking this fully expected him, even in February, when he went to the Gemelli, even in March, when he went back, we fully expected that he would pull through and continue. I fully expected to be accompanying him to Cologne, last August. 31.00.04
And so, I think one point is that he, I don't think that he himself probably understood until 48 hours, 72 hours before his death, that this was, in fact, his final act. This has always been a very determined Pope and so on. Probably, the most fundamental variable here is that John Paul was determined to allow his suffering to play out on the public stage because he saw it as a teaching moment. That is, he thought he understood himself to be teaching the world how to accept death. With grace and with dignity. 31.35.03
John Thavis part 1
2.18 THAVIS: I think really that's how his entire pontificate was lived. On the world's stage from the very beginning. And it would not have been in character for him to go and hide behind the curtain in the final stages. I think he also had a spiritual message here and (…) he knew that he was going to be suffering. He knew he had a disease that was going to keep him down, if not out, for several years. And I think he probably made the decision that he would not hide behind the Vatican walls, that he would allow the world to share in this as well as it shared in the early more energetic phase of his pontificate.
John Allen 1
31.35.03 In a culture that worships youth, and worships efficiency, and worships beauty and so on, I think he probably felt that this was a powerful counter example. 31.45.04
Here you can compare – just for your curiosity – the final version of the feature-length version (105 minutes) of the documentary; I also did another 52 mnute version. As a matter of fact, whenever I do a feature-length version of a documentary, I also ALWAYS do a 52 minute version. There are different markets for the different types of durations.

Crowd at night in St. Peter's Square
You will notice that in Version 1 there are NO indications regarding video and that's because I've mapped out the video on a separate sheet(s) of paper. After the logging process, I have memorized EVERY SINGLE SHOT – in this particular case it was more than 60 hours of video – and I've written the script in accordance to the rough video outline that I've drawn up indicating how the video should be used.
I have noticed that, as a rule, once I've memorized all the video and transcribed all the dialogue it only takes me a few hours to write the script of the documentary. Once I've written the script, I may later make minor changes in to it in several places (leading to different versions) as I go along, but I've already constructed the documentary in what pretty much corresponds to its final shape.
It can take me 7 to 10 days or up to two-and-a-half weeks to log all the video, but then the first part of the hard work is done. Equally important is obtaining a complete transcript of ALL dialogue. That's the second part of the hard work. Once I have all the transripts, I usually need only one or two days to write the script. As I wrote earlier, the actual writing process only takes me a few hours, once I decide how to use the video. With the video outline in mind I build the script paragraph by paragraph picking form the transcripts of all the dialogues and writing eventual commentary (in those rare cases it might be necessary).
At that point, I can usually edit the first cut of a documentary in under three weeks if I'm in a hurry (I usually edit approximately 10 to 12 hours a day), and – in most occasions – make the final cut in 6 weeks time.
Initially, with regards to the video, I write down a note referring to a rough sequence and once I start editing I cut every sequence in detail, that means I lay out every shot in the desired order.
Usually, I start editing at the beginning, even though the beginning may sometimes change (in certain documentaries it changed several times), and I keep editing on a straight progression towards the end; the end may change itself several times. Actaully, on documentaries where the story is ongoing, I have often continued to shoot after I'd already started editing and usually the end was discovered during this additional shooting phase. In the case of my last documentary, this was true also for the beginning.
re translation Boyd wrote:
"Some additional thoughts. You may want to have more than one translator look at your footage. There are subtleties in language that are really important in editing. What a person says and what a person means can be two different things and a straight translation often doesn't help you with that. Speaking only for myself, I base a lot of editing decisions, and story development, on the meaning and subtext of the words, not only on the words themselves.
The other part of this equation is that a verbatim translation may be disjointed in English, so there is a trick to constructing the English phrasing, that sounds good, with good word choices, that is faithful to what was actually said. It depends how good the translator is, and how fluent they are in both languages."
Translation is a vey important item. Working in Italian and/or English I don't have any problem because I'm fluent in both (I write books in both languages). If your grasp of a language is not this good you need to get the best translator you can; it may cost you but it's definitely worth every cent. Unfortuneatly in Italy they always try to save money – but you get what you pay for – so I've heard terrible translations even on important channels like Dicovery or History channel in Italian where the translation completely missed the point.
You need a great translator and this person also needs to know how to write extremely well in English so your English dialoge will be perfect.
What I mean is, one doesn't take liberties with the meanings but you need to render dialogue exacly as if those people were speaking in English themselves.
That means understanding complex sentence constructions that might be the opposite of English, with the verb at the end or vicevresa and it also means understanding complex techncial verbiage (medical or legal) if need be, and last but not least, the abilty to render in proper English the correct equivalent of Italian idiomatic expressions, proverbs, syaings, etc.
Your dialogue in English must be perfect, exactly as if the people had been speaking in English. Get the best, most competent, professional translator you can find!!!

Question for those producing docs, how much of your work falls under WFH (work for hire)? and how much of your work do you retain copyright too? I'm just trying to figure out (mostly for myself as a freelancer) when work for hire is okay and when i should be demanding better terms. I'm mostly referring to producing a full piece from start to finish. I know work for hire is fairly standard if you are working as a shooter, or editor, but what about when you are doing it all and the original story idea is yours? Does it make a differents who the client is? whether it is a NGO or network? Any insight on this would be great!
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Paul...go with Adobe. I'm not sure if they have a Premiere "lite", but if you stay on a PC you'll eventually work with Adobe software. Better to invest your time and energy in one interface that will be the standard for years to come.
Or, this might be the time for you to switch to a Mac....
Wed 30 Jan 2008
wolfgang, i'm sure you've got some very solid advice there for darla, but i think it might be better if you use the "Hide" function next time (especially for the super-long transcripts you included). thx.
andrew, if you are doing signficiantly more than just shooting/editing, but actually directing and producing the entire piece, you should definitely be demanding better terms than your normal work-for-hire rates. that could be whatever you negotiate (e.g. back-end points). of course, your client always has the option of saying "no", so be prepared to respond appropriately... if they don't want to give you a share of the project, then ask for a higher dayrate.
Wed 30 Jan 2008
I'm getting ready to buy my first Mac. Some have told me that a macbook will suffice for what I want to do, which is basically to gather and store footage and images for my editor and eventually work on a rough-cut for him. Others say that I should invest in a macbook pro. Since I'm not the editor, would anyone like to weigh in on why I might need a pro in the future?
Thanks. I wasn't sure how the hide feature works. What do you do? Just click Hidden section?
Thu 31 Jan 2008
The basic Macbook works fine as a FCP machine if you're working with DV and/or HDV material. I have a first generation Macbook set up with an external keyboard and trackpad, and a 24 inch Dell monitor. It's much faster than a 3 year old G5 workstation, and feels very close to the Mac Pro for most functions.
But Motion won't run on it, and it doesn't have a card slot or Firewire 800 so expansion possibilities are somewhat limited.

Sorry about that guys,
since I actually don't like writing that much, I'd only intended to knock out two sentences re translations, then the keyboard just went on by itself....
Thu 31 Jan 2008
Yes, well, I appreciate these explanations. I understand better now. Seems my dp would be the best translator, since his Italian is great and his English is excellent (and he gets the meaning of what these people – older people in a remote village often speaking in proverbs, etc...) are saying. But I don't know that I'm going to have him actually edit b/c after we finish shooting, I go back to NYC and he goes to Milan. I think it would be offensive to ask him to log/translate (obviously I'd pay him) but not edit . . . so I'm a little stuck. Well, not stuck. Just feeling in a bind. We're here for 10 more days and we've got a lot of good material (and information) already. I want to cut a trailer to enter into a grant/contest for April 1, so just wondering if I should cut our shoot like 4 days short and translate/log . . . edit . . . with him . . . (for the trailer, perhaps). I can still come home with all my footage and work with another editor down the road. This is only going to be about 20 hours of footage . . .
Thu 31 Jan 2008
unless your DP is very unusual, he shouldn't object to doing the logging and translating with you (and not the edit). he might object to logging and translating in general, but he'll certainly understand that you need to edit this locally back in NYC.
one thing to keep in mind is that logging and translating almost 20 hours of footage (or even 10 hours) will take a LONG, LONG time. for every 1 hour of footage, i would estimate at least 4 hours to turn that footage into a transcribed, translated, timecoded document – and i believe that is a very conservative estimate.
Fri 1 Feb 2008
If he is willing, you could ask your DP to do the transcriptions and translations for you. There is no need for him to log the tapes to do this. Otherwise, you might find someone else in Italy.
As I explained in a previous post, you should do the logging of all the tapes WITH the editor with whom you are going to edit your documentary because you BOTH need to be aware of all the video.
This way you'd only need to copy onto VHS tapes or a DVD with burnt in timecode (in order to be able to transcribe beginning end ending times for each sentence/paragraph) the tapes (or sections there of) with the interviews. You'd still need to capture this material onto a computer – and this takes place in real time – but you could return home with the tapes and your DP or whoever will be doing the transcription and translation could work at it over here and then e-mail you the finished transcripts.

Topic: Farmer Down, but not OUT!!!
My 60 yr old father was diagnosed with CC in Nov 2012.
Brief History:
He is a farmer in MN, and if anyone knows farmers, they DO NOT take time out to go to the dr. He had been having some upper abdomen pain and AFTER harvest, he went in to the dr and they treated him for diverticulitis. Pain would not go away and a CT Scan was ordered, only to find a LARGE mass smack dab in the center of his liver. After more tests it was diagnosed as ICC, with mets to lymph node by the heart. Not operable. His doctor sent him to Abbott Northwestern – Virginia Piper Cancer Institute. After meeting with oncologist there, he decided to start Chemo. He is on the Gem/Cis regiment and seems to be handling it ok, quite tired all the time (except day after Chemo) and quite a bit of pain. He had a CT scan on Jan. 8th and it showed the cancer is stable, which I guess is better than growing, so we will take it. On Feb 1, we are going down to Mayo Clinic in Rochester to get a second opinion and HOPE that they have something else that will start to kick this in the butt!!!
This whole process has been heart wrenching and mind numbing at the same time! We are a VERY close knit family and all live within 10 minutes of each other, being a farm family, there usually isn't a weekend that someone isn't hanging out at the farm!! On top of the diagnosis, we have to also worry about the farm, my poor dad was blessed with 3 daughters and has always done the majority of the fieldwork. My head is spinning, how will my mother make it, what will happen to the farm, how can we help when we all have full time jobs…YIKES!!! I'm depressing myself all over again!!
Any wisdom or words of encouragement are most certainly welcome!

It may be a busy time of year, but America's farmers and ranchers need to add one more thing to their to-do lists: go see "Farmland," which opens in select theaters nationwide on May 1.
In the film, six young farmers come together to tell just a few of the many stories of American agriculture. But the target audience of this movie goes well beyond rural audiences.
"I want everyone who eats to see this movie," director James Moll told reporters at the Tribecca Film Festival.
Moll hopes urban audiences can learn just as make from "Farmland" as he did while making it.
In a teleconference hosted by the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, Moll explained that through "Farmland," audiences will be able to be take a virtual step onto some of America's farms, likely for the first time.
"I grew up in a city, and I never stepped foot on a farm. Now I have had that opportunity. I wondered who it was growing our food, and I now know," he said. "If other people can come away from this film feeling they have now stepped onto a farm, then I feel really good about it."
David Loberg, a corn and soybean farmer from Nebraska, adds the film helps to address a growing "disconnect" between producer and consumer that is swaying how the public sees farmers.
"They don't view us as the same," Loberg said. "All they view is someone stamping out food, and they don't realize we're just like them. We have families; we have kids. We go home every night. We have bad days. We have good days."
Through the film, Loberg points audiences "actually get to see that there's a human being behind what they see in the grocery store, and that person cares very much so about what they put on that grocery store shelf."
Everyone is urged to see "Farmland," even those who may be critical of agricultural practices.
"I just encourage any critics of agriculture [to] just see the film, and then we'll talk," Texas and Colorado rancher Brad Bellah said.
