OS X 10.9 or later, 64-bit processor
Age Rating: 17+
Our lives are littered with links. Since we can't possibly read everything we see, we're constantly putting things in their place, whether it's sending longreads to our Instapaper queue or squirreling away interesting blogs in designated Safari folders. Stache 1.0.1 wants to change all that.
Bookmarking apps are hardly novel in this post-PC world, but Stache does it a little differently. Unlike the read-it-later services that focus on content and strip away the layout, Stache delivers a uniquely personal experience that doesn't just store your links – it creates a corner of the web with only the sites you care about.
Right off the bat, Stache sets itself apart from other bookmarking services you may have used. For one, there's no need to create an account (though you need to have iCloud enabled). Furthermore, you won't find the usual list of collected links; there's a definite Top Sites feel to the interface, with Stached homepages and articles all arranged as large previews in a neat grid.
The visual layout lets you navigate a mountain of links in a flash, but it's even faster to use the search bar, which quickly trawls every webpage in their entirety to find your query. And you'll likely be using it often, since there's no way to sort your sites any other way than chronologically.
You can manually enter URLs to store them in Stache, but the preferred method is the handy one-click Safari and Chrome extensions. Clicking a saved link automatically opens it in your default browser, but the extra step seemed unnecessarily clunky; a built-in browser like the one in the iOS companion app would make a nice addition in a future update. Also useful would be a setting for distraction-free reading, and I'd love to see an API to expand the service beyond browsers. But even without these things, it's easy to recommend Stache.

This email might hurt a few people.
Definitely will bruise some egos.
And if you can't handle a swear or two, then stop now… I know this will contain a few… I'm on a rant.
If you ever wanted success more than ever,
but have found yourself constantly falling short…
…this is for you.
If you have dreamed of having lots of money, and the great things you would,
but are still stuck watching pennies and living payday by payday…
…this is for you.
If you find life is flying by far faster than all the bank deposits you are making…
…this is for you.
It's time to fucking do something about it.
Don't you think?
I have been in your shoes far more times and frequency than I ever want to remember.
The debts.
The lack of cash to do what you really want.
The constant reminder in your head that you aren't living up to your potential.
Ya, been there.
But you know what?
Ever since I took a hard stance and did something about it…
…I started changing.
Way, way for the better.
I stopped making internal excuses on why things were not working out.
I stopped blaming others for my lack of success.
I stopped looking for the 'secret key'.
I stopped asking all the questions.
I got BUSY and did things.
Figuring it out along the way…
…but no more sitting around waiting for something to happen before I MADE it happen.
This goes to you if you've tried business idea after business opportunity.
You've read the books.
Seen the documentaries.
Probably been to a seminar or ten.
Support groups.
Networking groups.
Hired a coach or three.
…I've been there.
If the Mayans are right, the rest of what I write doesn't matter anyway.
But if they're wrong… and they are in my eyes… then NOW is the time to get your shit together and DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
My "doing something different" final push began in January this year.
Not in a pleasant way.
My marriage of 12 years broke up.
Twin 11 year old girls confused and broken.
2 adults angry and lost.
But change began… and it has NOT stopped.
From where I lived, to what I did in my days, to the people I worked with in business.
Everything changed.
Even my health. I cranked up my martial arts training (testing for 2nd Dan Black Belt in December), started eating better (down 4 belt notches), changed my bad habits, and began the rebuilding phase.
Some times hard things have to happen for change to begin.
Most people can't handle making hard decisions and changes like that.
But if you want to break through this plateau… then you have no choice but to start RIGHT NOW.
Not in 2013.
Not "later".
Right now.
As you may or may not have seen… I fired off all my copywriting clients and begin putting serious effort into marketing the Empower Network.
Whether or not you care for them is not the point, the point is I wanted to change things and their affiliate program and training was a very natural fit for me. I just looked the other night and just under $10,000 in sales were made (with 100% commissions… it means I KEPT) since I started taking it serious mid-August.
2 months ago.
That is quick change and very motivating.
Could that change a few things in YOUR life?
I bet it could.
This email is not about promoting Empower… it is to show you what CAN happen when you take something serious and put your focus and passion into.
You have to feel this: "Theres a fire starting in my heart" as Adele sings.
Until that day happens, you will forever find excuses on why it hasn't or won't happen for you.
I hope I can help you fire it up.
In whatever you do.
Or want to do.
But it truly begins with you.
You can continue making excuses and delaying the life you really want.
Or you can start the process NOW and begin the change you need.
The choice is yours.
I took the plunge in 2012. It hasn't been easy… but it sure has been a productive year for change.
I am here to help if you want. And the easiest way to change for you is probably to work with me on Empower and let me show you how to leverage their training to create ANY website or internet based business you want. Their training is exceptional and is geared to help you and I make money online.
I will show you what is working for me and my team… and I will kick your ass UNTIL you succeed.
That'll put a fire in your belly and some bucks in your bank!
PS: If you want to change the path you are on… and a few bucks in your pocket along the way would help… then join me and Team Beach Bum inside the Empower Network. https://www.marketingbeachbum.com/join
My team meets weekly – twice a week.
We discuss what's working and what's not. We plan the week and review what happened.
Those that are taking MASSIVE action are cranking it. That means they are building their own lists of email subscribers… and they are starting to understand the system behind making money online. You can too. Learn it once the right way and it sticks with you for life… no matter what you sell or where you sell it.
Its only $25 to get started with the team… from there I show you what is next and what you need to do.
If you want change – commit right now to $25 and I will give you the fire you need to make it happen! https://www.marketingbeachbum.com/join

Four Set-up Essentials For Chipping
To be successful with your short game you have to be able to get up and down in as few shots as possible. This makes pitching and chipping the ball so important because you want to get the ball as close to the hole as possible to only have one putt.
Poor quality chip shots are often the result of an incorrect set-up. So here are a couple of pointers to help you set-up correctly for chipping and pitching.
1) Your stance should be slightly open when addressing the ball and your shoulders should be parallel to the intended line of the chip.
2) Choke down on the grip, which basically means grip the club lower down. This will improve your feel of the shot and give you more club head control as you proceed through your swing.
3)Put the ball back in your stance and hold your hands forward. This will cause you to hit down on the ball increasing the consistency with which you strike the ball and removing the possibility of hitting the ball in the teeth.
4) Keep your chin up so that you are almost looking down your nose at the golf ball. This will cause your spine to be in a more erect position resulting in a better posture and giving your left shoulder more room to turn as it moves under your chin.
To help you improve your chipping and pitching you should practice hitting your shots with the above set-up routine. You should see a dramatic improvement in the consistency of your strokes and the purity with which you strike the ball. I hope this helps.

The Advantages of Automating VAT Determination and Compliance
Many users of the world's most sophisticated and widely embraced enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems still use desktop spreadsheets to manage their value-added tax (VAT) and statistical filing processes. It's labor-intensive work that may not catch every error and leaves the VAT processes without rigorous controls. It also puts companies at increased risk at a time when global economic pressures are triggering greater regulation and more government scrutiny of tax compliance.
Using software to automate the VAT determination and compliance processes relieves internal pressures on company resources without disrupting existing ERP processes. It offers additional advantages by improving the accuracy of the tax department's work, automatically keeping pace with changing tax systems worldwide and installing needed controls.

St. Paul, Minn. (November 28, 2005)—Bacterial leaf scorch is severely affecting urban shade trees grown not only to provide shade, but to help clear the air, reduce noise, and improve the aesthetics in many U.S. communities, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS).
According to Ann Brooks Gould, associate extension specialist at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, bacterial leaf scorch (BLS) affects many shade tree species such as American elm, red maple, sweet gum, sycamore and London plane, and a number of oak species. The disease has been found in landscapes, street plantings, and small woodlots throughout the eastern United States and as far west as Texas.
According to Gould, BLS affects as many as 35 percent of susceptible street and landscape oaks in some central New Jersey communities. Current loss of value plus replacement costs for older trees affected by this disease is estimated at $8,000 per tree. Landowners and tree care professionals in these locations must plan for the loss of property values and high costs of replacement as shade trees in landscapes, wood lots, and golf courses affected by BLS decline and must be removed.
BLS is caused by a bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa, which has a wide host range that includes common landscape ornamentals and weeds. X. fastidiosa is spread by insects, mainly sharpshooters.
Symptoms of BLS are very similar to those caused by environmental stresses. Because of this, the disease is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. On oak trees, BLS symptoms include scorching in late summer or early fall on leaves of all ages at about the same time. On sycamores and elms, symptoms progress from older to younger leaves. Affected leaves may curl and drop prematurely, and as the disease progresses, branches die and the tree declines. Elms may be killed outright by the disease. Other affected species eventually decline to the point where the dead branches pose a safety risk and the tree must be removed.
According to Gould, current management options of BLS in urban trees include:
More on the symptoms of BLS and disease management options is available in this month's APSnet feature article at wwww.apsnet.org/publications/apsnetfeatures/Pages/BacterialLeafScorch.aspx. APS is a nonprofit, professional scientific organization. The research of the organization's 5,000 worldwide members advances the understanding of the science of plant pathology and its application to plant health.

A strong name is similar to a guid which helps to gac to differentiate between two different versions of assembly.a strong name is created using sn.exe. assemblies which have a strong name are only allowed to be installed in a gac. strong names are created using public key cryptography (pkc) which has a public key and a private key
In order to install or remove an assembly from gac gacutil.exe tool is usedto install an assembly to gac the following command is usedgacutil.exe /i assembly.dllto uninstall an assembly to gac the following command is usedgacutil.exe /u assembly.dll
In order to install an assembly in gac a strong name is required which has a public key and a private key. delay signing allows an assembly to be installed in gac without private key. delay signing is useful during the development phase when somebody do not want to disclose the private key. later during the packaging time such assemblies will be signed with the private key
The process of releasing memory objects which are no longer used by an application in a .net environment is known as garbage collection. garbage collector helps the clr to perform better memory management. by default garbage collection is an automatic process which is being executed by the clr. by using gc.collect() method we can force clr to perform garbage collection
The process of releasing memory objects which are no longer used by an application in a .net environment is known as garbage collection. garbage collector helps the clr to perform better memory management. how garbage collector works. garbage collector uses a managed heap to store objects. newly created object will be at the top of the heap (higher memory addresses) and older objects will be at the bottom. based on the age of memory objects, garbage collector group objects into to three different groups which are generally known as generations. there will be 3 different generations. generation 0, generation 1, generation 2generation 0 – all the newly created objects will be in generation 0. after a period of time objects which are still alive in gen 0 will be moved to generation 1. generation 1 (gen1) – all the objects which were in gen 0 and have survived a series of garbage collection will be moved to gen 1generation 2 (gen 2) – objects like global variables, static variables will be usually be in gen 3 because they will be alive till the application runs. collecting the garbageduring a gc operation clr will pause the application executionthere are two types of collection1) partial collection – it is considered to a very cheap operation. only objects in gen 0 will be released2) full collection – gc will perform this operation in all generations and it is considered to a an expensive operation after this process dead objects will be removed from the heap and live objects will be rearranged to fill the gaps. generations also will be updated after this process
When the garbage collector runs objects will finalize will not be destroyed immediately. instead it will be moved a finalization queue. also the child objects which are referred to this object cannot be destroyed this time. after the garbage collection finalize thread will execute the finally method and will become dead. these dead objects will be removed only on the next garbage collection.this is the reason finalization has a bad effect on performance

Some three months after Angelina Jolie announced she had a preventative double mastectomy, her surgeon is speaking out about the star's epic journey.
"When someone who is arguably the most beautiful woman in the world removes the part of her body that is symbolic of femininity and sexuality, you have to say, 'Why would she do that?'" Dr. Kristi Funk says in the September 2013 issue of Los Angeles magazine. [via PEOPLE]
Funk, who is one of the breast cancer surgeons at the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, adds that her famous client waited for the right moment to share her story with the world.
"She is so intensely private, but she calculated the moment when she would be ready to reveal something so personal," according to Funk.
In an op-ed piece published in The New York Times on May 14, Jolie, 38, stunned readers and fans by announcing that she had surgery after doctors revealed she was at a high risk of developing breast cancer.
"I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have an mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made," she wrote. "My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."
The September issue of Los Angeles magazine will be on newsstands on Aug. 20.

The former headquarters of Vermont Federal Savings Association at 25 W. Fayette St. has been listed for sale.
Kayne Levin Neilson Bavar Realtors is the listing agent hired to sell the building for HFC Commercial Realty Inc., an affiliate of Household Bank. KLNB partner David Bavar said Household officials previously had tried to sell the building themselves for $3.2 million but recently enlisted KLNB and reduced the asking price.
The eight-story, 48,991-square-foot Vermont Federal building was one of the first office structures built in the 33-acre Charles Center renewal area. It has been vacant since Vermont Federal moved several years ago to less expensive quarters in Timonium.

need advice for seminar taping
Hello everyone,
I will be videotaping a seminar using 2 dvx-100s and only one operator, me. the seminar is 1 person, on stage. there is also a Q&A after. the entire shoot is about 2 hours.
I will be using a wireless lav mic.
This is my first time doing such a project and I'm looking for any advice/tips I can get to make the final product interesting and a success.
Sounds like you are already there. Lock down the wide shot the rove around as needed. If it doesn't matter if you are in the wide shot when you cut to it, just focus on your handheld shot while shooting. If it does matter, just keep that in mind as you rove around. Same with the audience. In some cases the video is more important than the audience so you ignore all and get the shot. In other cases, you have to be invisible. Communicate with the seminar dude for that feedback. As far as roving, don't rob yourself of a cutaway by walkin' while he's talkin'. Setlle in, frame him up then reposition as he changes chapters so to speak. You'll be able to feel that.
How will you get audio for the Q and A? Suggestions: Put a separate mic on a floor stand and they have to walk up to it to ask the question. This also lets you set the mic where you will have a good, well-lit shot. If you can't do that, then get an assistant to walk a hand-held wireless over to each person with a hand up. Passing it like a hot dog at the park is not great but is also an option. Better than nothing is to use a good shotgun on a dedicated audio channel to pick up the questions.
Shoot more cut-aways than you think you need, and one trick is to shoot a bunch BEFORE the event starts, so get there early.
If the speaker is using the dreaded powerpoint, get a copy of the slides before or after, and drop them in in post because trying to expose one camera for the screen AND the speaker is a nightmare. When that's the choice, always favor the person speaking with the right exposure. If there is no way to get the slides before or after, then park the second camera on a full-screen of the slides during that part, and be more active in changing shots between the speaker in tight and medium and wide shots and audience cut-aways, knowing the second camera will cover your transitions. Make the shot transitions and zooms whip-fast, so there is less total time needed to cover between them with a cut-away. I am able to fake a 2-camera shoot this way by whip-panning to frame up and properly expose the slide for just a second, then back to the speaker, all with just the one camera. In post I can extend the slide as long as I need, by stretching a freeze frame across the bad parts of the camera moves.
Since you have two cameras, and you are one-man-banding it, consider that you have four independent audio channels to play with, so make the most of that and put different mics on each, or set the levels with one a little low and one a little high for the SAME sources. This way, if he gets too soft OR too loud, you'll always have one track with a decent level on it to choose from.
AThanks SO much Grinner and Mark with your VALUABLE input!
It spurred some questions:
Grinner, I don't quite understand what you mean by: "As far as roving, don't rob yourself of a cutaway by walkin' while he's talkin's far as roving, don't rob yourself of a cutaway by walkin' while he's talkin'" can you explain please?
I'll be using the shotgun mic approach mounted on the roving camera. It's a very small audience of 12. They will be seated "U" formation and I am to hopfully capture some of the conversations which take place between the members as they discuss the questions put forth. I was thinking of having a mic on a mic stand in the "middle" of the "U" to capture the audio interaction.
MARK: thanks for the tip on doing "whip" zooms and pans. In my newbie way, I would have used slowish moves but what you suggest is much better.
Q2. Mark, what sort of cutaways would you take BEFORE the event as you suggest?
Thanks also for the tip on the PPT/Speaker exposure problem. Great Heads-up! this is exactly what it will be.
Q3. should I use automatic Iris in this case since on the roving cam I will sometimes pan as I follow the speaker who will walk in front of the "screen"?
Q4. Is the best way to sync the cams to use a camera flash?
and Mark, just to confirm, you're suggesting locking down one camera, straight-on, while I rove with the other and perform various shot styles with it correct?
Q5. re: 2 mics with low and hi level respectively. Does this configuration mean that I will not have 'great audio" the majority of the time on either channel when vol is not too high, not too low?
Q6. What is the best way to ensure that the lav mic will not pickup rubbing noise, etc. What is the best position, are there any tricks so I don't have to interrupt the presentation due to bad mic-ing? (using Sennheiser G2 wireless lav)
PS> yes I will have the slides to cut in with.
I can't tell you how appreciative I am of your help.
Before the thing starts, get cut-aways from the point of view of the presenter, looking back at wide and tight shots of the audience, groups and singles and trios. Also get groups of 2 to 4 people from the side, while they ae looking forward. If you want to get really artistic, do a rack focus from the closest person to one in the distance, and back again. Give the ends of the rack focus at least six seconds before you make a change.
DO NOT USE AUTO IRIS. The bright screen and dark room will fool it every time. This is what I meant by going manual iris and exposing for the best look for the SPEAKER. The screen will look blown-out and without much detail when you do this, but that's okay, because you're going to use the saved slides or the cut-away camera, which IS set up for the screen's light level, later in post. Frame the speaker very tightly if and when they walk in front of the screen to minimize the issue. If I had the chance I would light the speaker, making him closer in brightness to the screen's level makes it easier to find an exposure that works for any shot. But sometimes you can't win, and the presenter likes to walk all over, including in front of the screen. In that case, set a light just to the side of the screen, and one at the podium, and pray to Saint Clare... For the same reasons, keep all windows out of the shot and behind you.
You don't need a camera flash to synch cams. Start them both running, zoom out wide, pointing at the same spot, walk to that spot, make a large movie clapper out of your arms,one big clap, directly in front of your face, done. Re-aim the cameras without stopping record, and you are good to go.
A locked-off wide shot of the room and speaker for the second camera is your "safety" shot. It could be from the back or from a back corner or side. Save the operated camera for tracking the presenter with medium and close-up shots, and audience reaction shots as you deem appropriate
Splitting the mic feed and recording it with two different levels for back-up just gives you more room at either extreme to make corrections. You will generally pick just the one track that sounds best, adjust it a little bit in post for proper peak, then, if you come across a bit where it was too low, and manually raising the level also brings up too much noise, you have the back-up channel that was recorded "hotter", and you can grab the matching section of superior sound from that, which will also have a superior signal-to-noise ratio, compared to just raising the level of the weak track, and bringing up the noise floor. That noise floor becomes noticeable when you do that. Let me just emphasize to you that in these kinds of productions, people will sit still for weak cameras and poor graphics, but they will absolutely NOT tolerate bad AUDIO. In this case, AUDIO is 75 percent or more of what you are there to get; the rest, the graphics and etc. could have been done by email, right?
As to lav mic placement, my personal rule of thumb is to use my actual thumb. That is, I take my right hand and make the Hawaiian "hang loose" gesture; spreading the thumb and pinkie as far away from each other as possible. That is my measuring guide for the space from mouth to mic. It helps reduce plosive sounds (the bumping B and Popping P), and breath sounds from overwhelming the mic. Most lav mics are omnidirectional for the most part. The style they use in Britain most is to mount them on the lapel with the end of the mic pointing down at the guy's shoes. I freaked out when I saw this the first few times, but after testing it I found if you hang it facing down like that, you will never worry about breathing noises blowing into the mic once the production has already started.
Lapel mounting to one side or another risks losing a bit of level when they turn and face away from that side of their body. But hey, you are recording two identical tracks at two levels, right? :-)
Another strategy is to mount the mic close to the center of the body, or on the tie itself. Silk ties are hard on lavs, they make a lot of noise, and they are slippery for the clip to hang onto without damaging them. Ask the guy if his tie is silk, and avoid the silk ones when you can. Mounting the lav *under* the tie is done sometimes. You remove the clip from the lav, make a sticky triangular pad of gaffer tape rolled over onto itself, stick mic to pad, stick pad to shirt or back of tie, lav just poking out from side of the sticky pad. I have also had good luck leaving the clip off and taping the lav head just inside the collar, when they insist on hiding the lav. And, I keep some clear/flsh colored dermatape medical tape in my kit, so I can attach lavs to skin directly, like, over the back of an ear, an old stage theatre trick that works because the mic to mouth distance never varies no matter where the head points. What beginners don't always catch when micing talent is that most mic noise with wired lavs comes from the CABLE, not the mic head. As the cable drags on clothing or body parts it transmits vibrations to the mic. So tape the cable down a LOT inside the guy's coat, and you'll have fewer problems.
I will start charging for additional questions after this:-)
Thanks for these in-depth instructions Mark!
I feel much more confident going into this gig armed with this info and techniques. Chock full of ides!
I'm off to buy some gaffer's tape tomorrow and I'll be sure to add some of that medical tape too.
It'll be interesting because the only "good" audio for the Speaker I'll be getting is the one from the lave mic on her. Other than that, I'll have the built-in camera mics on the DVXs. I do have a small Rode shotgun mic which I guess I can mount on the roving/operated camera but I won't be within 6 ft from the Speaker so I'm not sure how effective it will be.
Thanks a million! I still have some anxiety which I hope will dissipate before the end of the gig :)
The only thing I haven't seen discussed here is the overall presentation length and what speed you are planning on recording in.
Is there an intermission to switch tapes if you are using 63 or 83 minute tapes ??? Or are you going LP on the recording ???
good questions Chip,
it's to be about 2.x hours. so I'll have to switch tapes.
A lecture of about 1.5 hours followed by a .5 to .75 hour Q&A.
I was going to signal the speaker at the -7min tape mark and at the -3 minute. then, switching the tapes while there is a short break.
Am I best to record at 30p or 60i? (i'm not going for film-look)
IMO, you have a pair of tape changes there.
I would get together with the speaker and find out approx time points at various spot of his lecture and then try and plan for two breaks when his presentation has a "natural" break to it. One would be at the introduction of Q&A. Somewhere else in his presentation there has to be a natural spot to switch tape as well.
I have shot where I have run out of tape and let me tell you, that sucks !!!!
If it were me and the speaker was cooperative, I would bust his presentation onto two 63 minute tapes and then one 83 minute for Q&A.....just in case. What you don't want to do, is have him just impromptu "expound" at some point in time, and there you are running low of tape.
If you take his 1.5 hours and bust it to 2hr and 6 min of tape, you have got plenty of fudge factor built in for impromptu anything.
I only used 24P and 60i once so far on mine and the 24p looked "warmer" for lack of a better term. The 60i, definitely sharper, more crisp. I would give some thought to which of those impressions work best with the topic being presented.
Also..... can't the DVX100s be sync'd/sunk by timecode ???
I thought somewhere I read they could be.
I don't know how do sync the 2 using timecode. I'll look into it if I have time before the gig.
The presentation is quite informal so I will be able to sync the tape change with the Speaker. As mentioned below, my main audio which I can depend on will be from the lav mic, therefore, the cam can't be changing tapes while the Speaker speaks.
Thanks Chip, I'll shoot 60i to get the crisp look. This will likely be viewed on computers in the end.
my plan is to use 3 tapes (for each camera) in all.

What I would suggest is using an 80-minute tape in one camera and a 60-minute in the other, so you have time to cover a tape change with the 20 minutes of overlap. DV cameras do not eject and load quickly, so this will give you time to plan and you won't be juggling two near-simultaneous changes.
Thanks Alan,
My best audio comes from a lav on one camera. So I can't have it stopped while the Speaker is speaking. I think I can get away with signaling her before the tapes run out and do a switcheroo.
Run that audio to both cameras.
I like the idea but pardon my ignorance... how do I do this?
If your presenter is wearing a wireless lavalier, put a Y-adapter inline behind the receiver and run lines to both cameras.
It will probably work if you're using a hardlined lav too. XLR Y-adapters are pretty standard things. You need a single XLR-F to two XLR-M to make this work.
Thanks for the tip Alan! The gig is tomorrow and I can't get to a store but I'll keep this in mind for future projects.
Thanks again
Put the Rode shotgun on a separate mic stand, over by the audience aimed across the main group. It would be better if you had an assistant to aim it by hand. What I would use (because I have one) for that small audience group is either an omni hand mic on a stand, or a PZM boundary mic. Radio Shack used to sell one, mine's from Audiotechnica. A boundary mic is placed on any flat surface like a table top or wall or ceiling or bare floor and the entire surface then "becomes" a big omni mic. Great for groups like this. They need phantom power from the camera.
A real cowboy would offset the start times of tapes from the two cameras and change one while the other was still running with a few minutes to go with a suitable cover shot... don't interrupt the flow just for your own convenience.
If this was to go on all day, I would pack a spare monitor of 12 inches or more to give my eyes and neck/back a break from the tiny viewfinder. Wear comfy shoes. Bring power bars or other trail bar type energy snacks, and some water. And gum.
Over-prepare, over-pack, bring everything, and two of anything that is critical or can fail and stop the whole thing. Go early, think ahead, have back-up plans, you can do this.
I could see this changing of tapes separately if those cameras can set timecode that can be used to sync the various tapes.
But I thought he said his primary audio is a wireless set up, which I assumed was going to one of the cams. If that would be the case, when tape was switched in that cam, he would be loosing his primary audio source for the duration of the tape change.
To alleviate that, recording audio separately and sync that file in post would work.
What I have done with my GS 500s has been set up one cam locked on the stage, and then firewire that cam into my laptop and out to an external hard drive and just let it go. That would eliminate the tape change on one cam, and keep that audio in sync with the main cam's footage.
you're right Chip... main audio off lav mic on one camera, the one I'll be operating so I can monitor the sound through the headphones.
Interesting idea to record to HD. I'm not at this stage yet, but will definitely keep this in mind for the future.
thanks again Mark,
I'll take your advice on the Rode on a stand. Hopefully it won't be too obtrusive. I hadn't heard about those boundary mics. Just looked it up... very interesting. I'll have to investigate this later.
It's a 1/2 day (a long half!) and I don't have a monitor. so off I go squinting. :)
Run the lav's reciever output to an audio mixer, run outputs from the mixer to one channel each of BOTH cameras. Set one to record a little hotter and one a little lower. This is what I do with multiple cams.
An alternative if you lack a mixer is to run the audio into the first camera, then run audio OUT of that camera, into the second camera. That only costs you one extra cable. Second camera's audio is not as easily controlled for level that way, but better than just on-camera shotgun alone. And NOW, long as the audio runs E-E thru the first camera regardless of transport status, you should be able to switch tapes on either cam, as long as one is running to cover the other, and not miss a word.
If you can set the camera's to free-run time code and time-of day time code, before you leave for the location, no matter how often you stop and start them for these kinds of events, you can find the shots in the edit and line them up for match-cutting quickly. Even if they drift a few seconds off, magnify the audio waveform display on the audio track and you will see where the waveforms match up. The time code only has to get you "in the neighborhood", so to speak, and you can tweak the final re-alignment by eye and ear.
Another reason to use time-of-day for your time code is that no matter where in the room they are, someone who is following the action can note a section of interest, glance at their watch, and write that time down, and the notes they take will match up pretty close to what the camera shot for the edit. We do this a lot in news shooting, where the reporter or producer may not be anywhere near the shooter. Long as they can tell time and write it down, they can keep a good shot log anywhere they can hear the action.
So, Gilles, how did it go? Don't leave us all hanging!
Hey Mark! Thanks for asking! I just got back.
Well I can tell you that the responses and info in this thread helped me out A LOT!
I think it went fairly well. I'll really see when I start the post. I had the lav on the Speaker connected to the roving cam and the other (safety cam) was using a condenser mic on one channel which was on a stand.
One thing that I hope won't be too much of a problem is that the seating was in a U formation (13 attendees) with the Speaker at the open end of the U. I broke the 180 rule several times taking shots of the attendees asking questions, etc. I will establish right off the bat in the video, this configuration and hopefully, the eye-line won't be confusing when the 180 is broken (by that I mean at times I was a the bottom of the U shooting "up" and at other times I was on the left side shooting down toward the bottom of the U to capture attendee comments or discussions with the Speaker.
I'm sure I'll have some color corrections to do and lots of vol level adjustments but I'm hoping it'll be a good product in the end. 3 hours shot... 6 tapes.
Thanks sooooo much to you and the others who took the time to share their video wisdom.
A quick and dirty audio solution is the free plug-in called "Levelator", just drag your audio file onto the icon and done, if you're in too much hurry to do everything by hand.
The 180 rule can and has been broken at times when the reasoning is good. One reason yuo shoot a lot of cut-aways is to bridge that change with the intermediary shot.
Thanks Mark,
Levelator sounds great! I just downloaded it!
I will first clean up the audio of the condenser mic with soundsoap as there was more hissing. Then I'll give levelator a try. It may be tricky because this one track contains various audio levels due to the various distances of attendees to the mic and various softness / loudness of voices.
I may end up having to do lots of manual vol adj.
Do you have tips on how to make the audio (voice) sound best? (ie. normalize, compress, etc).
The COW Audio forum is the better source to ask than me, but what I rely on is a combination of parametric EQ and downward expansion to clean up most noises. The noise killing plug-ins work best for things like lamp ballasts and fridge motors that make steady sounds that are audible but out of the normal range of the human voice. When you apply the filter too aggressively the voice character also takes a quality hit you can hear.
Levelator is supposed to normalize levels all across a file and tweak the EQ all in one step. It's nothing you can't do and maybe do better on your own, the main attractions are it is free and fast.
Also, it insists on "phoning home" thru your internet connection every so often when you're using it. That makes me a little nervous.
I know what you mean about overcranking the noise reducers. I'm hoping to elimiate some of the hiss that the condenser mic picked up (room tone).
what do you mean by "phoning home" ?
The app checks in periodically with it's creators. What they say to each other, I don't know. You can read about it in the shrink-wrap agreement when you activate it. Mostly I guess it will periodically try to sell you something.
Well, the week's wrapping up, I'm going to go help judge state science fair finals, then my date and I are going to see "Iron Man 2". Kind of a Geek's Weekend. Have yourselves a great weekend, everybody, and don't forget to call Mom Sunday...

Today's Word is: Shōryōuma (精霊馬)
Have you ever seen decorations made with cucumbers and eggplants like these in Japan?
They are called shōryōuma (精霊馬). Shōryō means spirits, and uma means horse. In obon season in August, people make these vegetable decorations symbolizing a horse (cucumber) and a cattle (eggplant). Obon is when spirits of the deceased are believed to visit the physical world, so the horse is supposed to carry those spirits from heaven quickly to our world, and the cow will bring them back to heaven slowly and comfortably on their way back. The cow can also carry offerings made to the spirits during obon.
Making shōryōuma is a fun activity for kids to engage in, and it's also a great way to educate them on showing respect to the ones who have passed away.

Sudler's Metropoulos to head Euro RSCG Life, Pantello named chairman
Euro RSCG Life Worldwide reshuffled its top management, with Jim Metropoulos signing on as CEO of the Havas healthcare network from WPP's Sudler & Hennessey, where he was co-president. He reports to David Jones, global CEO of Euro RSCG Worldwide. Metropoulos succeeds Ron Pantello, who becomes chairman of the network, a new position. Pantello will stay on full-time until the end of the year, managing the transition, and will then drop down to part-time, working as a strategic consultant and mentor to the new management team. The network also named Doug Burcin and Ed Stapor, the heads of its two largest US units, co-CEOs for North America, new posts reporting to Metropoulos. Burcin is president of Euro RSCG Life Metamax, which handles key Sanofi-Aventis accounts, and Stapor heads Euro RSCG Life Chelsea. They join Michel Nakache, CEO for Euro RSCG Life Europe/Asia, who also reports to Metropoulos. "It puts into place a nice management team for the future," said Pantello. "These are all guys in their 40s. It's a nice succession plan to continue driving this business forward." Pantello, an LM&P co-founder who has been with the company for 26 years, has served as CEO of the group since 2002. He presided over a consolidation of the sprawling agency network and engineered its realignment under the "Power of One" model, featuring a single profit-and-loss statement and centralized, media-neutral offering. He is also chairman emeritus of the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame.

Community Bank Throws Down on Big Banks Over Fees
Paying customers $5 a month to use debit cards
URBANA, Ohio -- The Peoples Savings Bank (TPSB), Urbana, Ohio, said that it is "fed up with the big-box banks" and is initiating a "protest" to call attention to debit-card fees. Over the next three months, it will pay customers $5 a month per account for using their debit card in each statement period. The objective is to call attention to recent actions of large banks--such as Bank of America, which recently instituted a $5 a month fee to use a debit card in the wake of the October 1 implementation of Durbin Amendment interchange-fee caps--and highlight the advantages community banks offer.
"Our customers voiced concerns over newly initiated debit-card fees by large banks and asked if we were going down the same path," said Brice Kadel, president. "Community banks including The Peoples Savings Bank are not in agreement with these fees and practices. To demonstrate opposition to these fees and the important advantages of community banks over large megabanks, we chose to do something fundamentally different. Paying our customers to use our debit cards is the kind of symbolic gesture that eliminates their fears."
During November, The Peoples Savings Bank will credit $5 to every customer account that uses one or more signature-based TPSB debit-card transactions during the statement period. The credit may also be earned in December and January under the same terms, totaling a maximum of $15 to every qualifying account. After January 31, customers will continue to enjoy no fee for point-of-sale debit card transactions. With as few as three debit-card payment transactions during the offer period, Kadel said he expects a positive response and is encouraging the bank's customers to use TPSB debit cards as often as they choose.
Charles S. Wingfield, chairman of TPSB, said that he sees the business practices of the large banks as detrimental to independent local banks and the communities they serve.
"The public image of many fine banking institutions is being questioned by the actions of a few," Wingfield said.
"Our goal is to raise awareness and remind our customers of how community banks do business," Kadel said.

Rajneesh Quotes About OpportunityQuotes about: Opportunity
Learn to laugh. Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly. And life is so full of opportunities. You just need the sensitivity. And create chances for other people to laugh. Laughter should be one of the most valued, cherished qualities of human beings - because only man can laugh, no animals are capable of it. Because it is human, it must be of the highest order. To repress it is to destroy a human quality.
Your enlightenment is perfect only when silence has come to be a celebration. Hence my insistence that after you meditate you must celebrate. After you have been silent you must enjoy it, you must have a thanksgiving. A deep gratitude must be shown towards the whole just for the opportunity that you are, that you can meditate, that you can be silent, that you can laugh.
Become aware, awake. Then you will see that everything comes and goes, all things come and pass. Life is a flux. Your consciousness is the only thing that is immovable, that is eternal. To attain it is freedom. To attain it is the goal of life. If you miss it you have missed your life and you have missed a tremendously great gift, a great opportunity.
For awareness you need not go to the Himalayas; you need not go anywhere. Your life gives you enough opportunities to be aware. Somebody insults you - listen to it in full awareness. And you will be surprised - the insult is no more an insult. You may even smile. It does not hurt; it hurts only when received in unawareness. Somebody praises and appreciates you - listen with alertness. And then nobody can persuade you to do foolish things. Nobody can bribe you; flattery becomes impossible. You will smile at the whole nonsense.
It is good that life never fulfils your dreams - it always goes on disposing, in a way. It gives you a thousand and one opportunities to be frustrated so that you can understand that expectations are not good and dreams are futile and desires are never fulfilled. Then you drop desiring, you drop dreaming, you drop proposing. Suddenly you are back home and the treasure is there.
Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom. If you are alive, the opportunity is there - even to the last breath. You may have missed your whole life: just the last breath, the last moment on the earth, if you can be love, you have not missed anything - because a single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
The richer you are, the more worries you have - problems of security, future. Whatsoever you have, you have to hold it. You have to hold it against others because they are constantly watching for a right opportunity to take it back. Whatsoever you hold, you hold out of violence. And of course, if you have been violent then others can be violent to you. They are just waiting for the right moment. The richer you get, the more worries, more problems, more fears you have. Who bothers, if one is happy?
The individual has totally different interests from the society, because the society has no soul. The society is soulless. And if you become too much a part of the society, it will reduce your soul also to a non-entity. Beware, before you have lost your whole opportunity. Don't be a slave. Follow society to the point you feel is needed, but always remain master of your own destiny.
Our whole life is a fooling around. You can do it because you are not aware of how you waste time, how you waste energy - how life is wasted you are not aware. It is going down the drain. Everything is going down the drain. Only when death comes to you, you may become aware, alert: What have I been doing? What have I done with life? A great opportunity has been lost. What was I doing fooling around? I was not sober. I never reflected upon what I was doing.
He said, Contented? I am the MOST discontented man in the world! Don't you know I am the wealthiest man in the world? That is my discontent. Now I know there is no more to wealth: all that is possible I have attained, and yet I am dying empty. My life has been just a wastage. Next time, if God gives me another opportunity, I am not going to try money any more - it has failed.
If you have a belief and you come against an experience which the belief says is not possible, or, the experience is such that you have to drop the belief, what are you going to choose — the belief or the experience? The tendency of the mind is to choose the belief, to forget about the experience. That's how you have been missing many opportunities when God has knocked at your door.
Nature has come to a point where now, unless you take individual responsibility, you cannot grow. More than this nature cannot do. It has done enough. It has given you life, it has given you opportunity; now how to use it, it has left up to you. Meditation is your freedom, not a biological necessity. You can learn in a certain period of time every day to strengthen meditation, to make it stronger - but carry the flavor of it the whole day.
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning. Meaning has not to be discovered; it has to be created. You will find meaning only if you create it. It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search a little bit and find it. It is not there like a rock that you will find. It is a poetry to be composed, it is a song to be sung, it is a dance to be danced.
Somebody insults you and you feel anger. Don't miss this opportunity; try to understand why, why this anger. And don't make it a philosophical thing. Don't go to the library to consult about anger. Anger is happening to you -- it is an experience, a live experience. Focus your whole attention on it and try to understand why it is happening to you. It is not a philosophical problem. No Freud is to be consulted about it. There is no need! It is just foolish to consult somebody else while anger is happening to you. You can touch it. You can taste it. You will be burned by it.
Joy is as infectious as any disease. When you see a few people dancing, suddenly you feel your feet are ready. You may try to control them, because control has been taught to you, but your body wants to join the dance. Whenever you have an opportunity to laugh, join; whenever you have an opportunity to dance, join; whenever you have an opportunity to sing, sing - and one day you will find you have created your paradise.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- "Drunk" and "stupid."
That's how lawyers for the three suspects arrested in connection with last week's alleged arson and burglary of the old convent in St. Joseph Hill Academy described their clients' states of mind and actions then, during a court proceeding on Friday.
"This was a boy having a few too many drinks and doing something stupid," Gregory C. Clarke, the lawyer for suspect Christopher Sasso told the court.
Sasso, of Normalee Road, Grasmere, was arraigned in Stapleton Criminal Court along with Vincent Calder of Lincoln Place, Fort Wadsworth, and Diego Tuso of St. Mary's Avenue, Rosebank, on a variety of charges, including burglary. All three suspects are 19 years old and College of Staten Island students.
Calder, who is accused of setting the Oct. 12 fire that nearly turned deadly, was also charged with felony counts of first- and second-degree arson, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.
Although police arrested Calder on hate-crime charges, prosecutors did not accuse him of such crimes.
Douglas C. Auer, spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan, said there's no evidence to substantiate that Calder or his alleged accomplices targeted the convent or its residents because of their religion, race, gender or sexual orientation, as required under the state's hate crimes statute.
Lawyer Matthew Zuntag, who represented Calder and Tuso for the arraignment, told the court Calder had been drunk and his alleged setting of the fires "was not an intentional or malicious act."
Later, outside court, he said the defendants' actions appear to be "a terrible mistake."
The three suspects stood sullenly with their lawyers and said nothing during the court proceeding.
The stocky Tuso wore a broad-striped hooded sweatshirt, while Sasso was garbed in a white T-shirt. Calder stood nearly a head taller than his co-defendants. All the suspects are dark-haired.
Judge Mario F. Mattei set bail for Calder at $100,000 cash or bond. Bail for Tuso, who allegedly stole a gold chalice, was established at $25,000 bond or $15,000, while Sasso's bail is $25,000 bond or $10,000 cash.
It was not immediately clear whether the suspects would post bail.
Mattei ordered Calder back to court on Monday; Tuso and Sasso must return Wednesday.
Prosecutors, citing the defendants' statements and witness accounts, said the trio broke into the convent about 5 a.m.
A law enforcement source said the suspects had been drinking beer and smoking marijuana, first at Calder's home and later at a friend's residence. After leaving the friend's house, they began walking and wound up outside the convent, which is home to the Daughters of Divine Charity, the source said.
Calder climbed to the third floor where he popped out an air conditioner and entered through a window, said the source. He then opened a door for Tuso and Sasso.
The suspects rummaged through drawers, and Tuso snatched a gold chalice before he and Sasso left, said the source.
Unbeknownst to them, Calder started a fire in a first-floor closet where vestments are kept and then in a third-floor bedroom, before joining his friends outside, said the source.
Authorities said the blaze badly charred a chapel and hallway.
Heavy smoke filled the building where Sister Regina Gegic and another nun were sleeping. The two nuns were staying in the old convent because they had given up their bedrooms in the new convent to sisters who were visiting from as far away as Rome and Budapest that weekend to celebrate the order's 100th anniversary in the United States.
In a desperate bid to escape the flames, Sister Regina jumped from a second-story window. She broke three vertebrae in her back in the fall and was critically injured. The other nun escaped unscathed.
Sister Regina was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, where she has made a near-miraculous recovery. She was in good condition and undergoing physical therapy there Friday.
Besides the burglary charges, all three suspects are accused of criminal trespass. Tuso alone is accused of felony grand larceny and stolen-property possession.
Calder's mother and sister who attended the arraignment, left quickly afterward without commenting.
No relatives appeared to be in court for his co-defendants.
