Ringgold will visit students at Hampton Elementary, then speak at North Division
MILWAUKEE – Internationally acclaimed author and Caldecott Honor Book winner Faith Ringgold will read to students at Milwaukee Public Schools' Hampton Elementary School Thursday and present a free public lecture at MPS' North Division High School later that evening.
At Hampton, Ringgold will read from "Tar Beach," her 1992 Caldecott Honor Book to classrooms at 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at Hampton, 5000 N. 53rd Street, Milwaukee 53218. Media are invited and welcome to attend and should contact Tony Tagliavia, MPS media manager, at (414) 475-8675 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The public lecture runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the auditorium at North Division, 1011 W. Center Street, Milwaukee 53206. Ringgold will be signing books immediately after the event. Media are also invited and welcome to attend the lecture.
The visits tie in with the new "Stories Shared" exhibition by the nonprofit organization Arts @ Large, which was founded in 2001 to connect arts to academics through meaningful arts experiences for MPS students.
"Stories Shared" includes original artwork "Tar Beach" along with sculptural art from local artist and children's author Andrea Skyberg and the artwork of MPS students who helped create illustration for Skyberg's new book "Shimmerling."
"This has been a lifelong dream for me to bring Faith Ringgold to Milwaukee and to share her creativity with our students, families and educators," said Kim Abler, MPS Art Curriculum Specialist and co-director/co-founder of Arts @ Large.
Milwaukee Public Schools continues to be committed to bringing more arts opportunities into MPS classrooms. In addition to working with Arts @ Large and other partners, the district has added more than 90 art, music and physical education specialists into classrooms over the last two years. The proposed 2014-15 budget would add another 50 art/music/PE specialist positions.

SC NAACP leader says he was racially profiled. Body cam footage tells different story.
Dashcam footage proves that the leader of a local NAACP chapter falsely accused a police officer of racial profiling.
I'm curious to hear how the NAACP reacts to this.
Will they fire this person, or will they continue to have him as their local leader?
Will they have a day of training similar to what Starbucks recently announced?
Will they ignore it and try to pretend that it didn't happen?
The only reason to make such a false accusation is because the accuser believes that there is a benefit in being a victim.
Were it not for the dashcam footage, this innocent police officer could have lost his job and his reputation.
In my opinion, this is a legitimate reason for a defamation lawsuit.
SC NAACP leader says he was racially profiled. Body cam footage tells different story.
May 15, 2018
The president of a local chapter of the NAACP in South Carolina said he was racially profiled in April by a police officer when he was pulled over for a traffic violation, but body camera footage released by the Timmonsville Police Department contradicts the reverend's claims.
"TONIGHT I WAS RACIALLY PROFILED by Timmonsville Officer CAUSE I WAS DRIVING A MERCEDES BENZ AND GOING HOME IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD," Jarrod Moultrie posted on Facebook April 13.
Timmonsville Police Officer Chris Miles stopped Moultrie for not engaging his turn signal before turning, according to the officer's body camera footage and Moultrie's Facebook post. A South Carolina Highway state trooper assisted the officer during the stop, according to Timmonsville police.
In the Facebook post, which has been deleted, Moultrie recounted the dialogue between him and Miles.
According to Moultrie, Miles asked him if he had any drugs in the car, where he worked, who was the owner of the car and why he was in the neighborhood.
"Me: sir I am a pastor and I live in the house on the left," the post reads. "Officer: And I guess I am the bill gates."
The encounter between Moultrie and Miles is different than what Moultrie described, based on police body camera footage released by the Timmonsville Police Department.
In the video, Miles identifies himself with Timmonsville police and asks for Moultrie's license, registration and proof of insurance.
As Moultrie is unfolding paperwork, the officer asks, "Now you don't own the motor vehicle?"
"Yes, sir, I just transferred," Moultrie replied as he hands him what appears to be a receipt for the vehicle.
The officer repeats Moultrie's statement about transferring tags and then asks for Moultrie's name as he hands him the registration for the previous vehicle. Then the officer asks for Moultrie's license and tells him why he stopped him.
"The reason I'm coming in contact with you is that whenever you took that left right here, you didn't signal. Okay. That's the only reason I'm coming in contact with you. Okay?"
After Moultrie gives Miles his license, the officer heads back to his patrol car, the body camera footage shows.
In the patrol car, the officer checks the registration, which he tells dispatch is for a 1992 GMC Sierra.
When the officer returns to Moultrie's car, he tells him to try to not drive the car until he has the proper registration, the body camera footage shows.
When Moultrie tells Miles he bought the car recently and switched the tags, the officer interrupts him to say he needs to go to a DMV in South Carolina to ask why the tags are still registered to the truck.
"I switched the tags from the truck to the car," Moultrie told the officer, while gesturing to the receipt of the Mercedes.
"They told me a DMV—the dealer put that on there, that showed the tags gonna be transferred. And all I need to do is keep this registration in there and this bill that's here."
"They told you wrong," the officer responded. "You've got to have the proper documentation in your motor vehicle that actually matches the car that you're operating on South Carolina highways."
The officer then hands him back his license, tells him to wear his seatbelt and drive safely, the body camera footage shows.
Based on the body camera footage, the officer never asked Moultrie if he had drugs in the car nor why he was driving in that area.
Moultrie's account of the dialogue between him and Miles when the officer returned to the Mercedes is different than what the body camera footage shows.
"Officer: I am warning you to not drive this car til tags get straight and just know I am doing you a favor tonight not taking you to jail or writing you a ticket," the post reads.
In the post, Moultrie says his wife was in the back seat without a seat belt and with a baby out of the car seat. He also mentioned he would follow up with Timmonsville police because "someone needs to answer for this behavior."
Timmonsville Police Chief Billy Brown said Moultrie contacted him the day after the traffic stop to say he was racially profiled and mistreated, ABC15 News reported.
When Brown reviewed the body camera footage, he said he was shocked that the reverend would lie about the encounter.
"When I saw the video, I was shocked that someone who is supposed to be a community leader, a pastor, and head of the NAACP would just come out and tell a blatant lie," Brown said to the news station.
"It bothered me. It really bothered me, thinking about the racial unrest it could've cost in the community and it's just troubling to me that someone who held a position like that would come out and just tell a lie."
Moultrie was elected president of the chapter, which was inactive for several years, in 2017, SC Now reported.
Moultrie said to SC Now in 2017 that many of the problems that he wanted to address–school board inadequacies, unjust city ordinances, low voter registration and the lack of police presence–in Timmonsville were rooted in electing city officials based on history, rather than credibility, and not holding elected officials accountable.
Regular people commenting at YouTube understand college campus hate crimes a lot better than the mainstream media
Last year and this year, multiple hate crimes were committed at Eastern Michigan University, which consisted of written messages in public places, that included racial slurs against black people, and threats for black to people stay off campus.
Yesterday, it was reported that the perpetrator of these anti-black hate crimes has been identified, and that he himself is black.
Here's a video of protestors from a year ago:
The first comment (based on the number of likes, I think) is from a year ago, and this is what it says:
"it's gonna turn out some black person actually did the spray painting"
Does that commentor have some magical, psychic ability to predict the future?
Instead, that person knows that the best way to predict the future is to look at the past.
Here's another protest, which is also from before they found out the perpetrator was black:
And here's another, also from before they knew:
And another:
And a comment on that one from a year ago says:
"The blacks are the idiots painting the shit."
Again, the commentor does not possess any special or unusual ability. Instead, the person just knows that the best way to predict the future is to learn from the past.
I'm curious to know what percentage of the protestors in the above videos still feel the same way, now that they know the guy is black. Based on multiple, similar past incidents where hate crimes were later discovered to be fake, I'm guessing that most of them will stop caring about this particular incident.
And the reason I feel so accurate in my prediction is because of past events. For example, I previously wrote this blog post, which is called "Hillary Clinton and hundreds of college students switch from anger to silence when they find out that a hate crime of assault and racial slurs by whites against blacks was fake, and that the assaults had actually been committed by blacks against whites."
And I've written about so many different fake hate crimes that I gave that subject its own category.
Meanwhile, while those commentors at YouTube accurately predicted that the perpetrator was black, no one in the mainstream media made such a prediction. The mainstream media just assumed that the perpetrator was a white person, despite the fact that so many of these hate crimes on college campuses have turned out to be fake.
I'll take the common sense of the regular people who comment at YouTube over the biased idiots in the mainstream media any day of the week.
Forensic evidence proves that white customer did NOT write racist note to black waitress
In Virginia, after a black waitress claimed that a white customer had written a racist note on a receipt, people donated more than $3,600 to the waitress.
However, the receipt with the racist note is actually a reprint of the original receipt, and was printed after the restaurant had closed. So there's no way that the racist message was actually written by the customer.
Lawyer: Racist Note Given To Black Waitress In Virginia Is A Fake
February 25, 2017
A black waitress who received thousands of dollars in donations after she claimed she received a racist note and no tip from a patron last month, fabricated the incident, the customer claims.
Kelly Carter, a waitress at Anita's New Mexico Cafe in Ashburn, Va., claimed that a white man stiffed her on his $30.52 restaurant bill and wrote "Great service, don't tip black people" at the bottom of his receipt.
But the receipt was fabricated, says Daniel Hebda, a lawyer for the patron.
Hebda said in a statement Friday that his client did leave Carter a small tip — one penny — because her service was poor, not because she is black.
"Our client did not nor would he ever write anything about refusing to tip African Americans because of their race," Hebda said, according to WTOP.
"Our client has no ill feelings towards African Americans. Our client did not leave a $0.00 tip. Our client tipped $0.01 out of his own conviction against tipping well for poor service."
Hebda said that his client did write on the receipt, but only the message "terrible service."
Websites like the Huffington Post, Raw Story, the Daily Mail, the New York Daily News and others posted the story as an example of racism in America. The Loudon County NAACP became involved, and a Virginia man opened up an online fundraiser that brought in more than $3,600 for Carter.
Carter's boss, Tommy Tellez, said last month, after Carter reported the receipt, that customers were showing up to the restaurant and just "dropping cash off" for Carter.
"I was appalled, though it's kind of in line with the political landscape," Tellez said at the time.
Though Carter's story went viral, there were some early indications that her claim did not quite add up. For one, the receipt she posted online was printed several hours after Anita's New Mexico Cafe closed. The receipt also bore markings showing that it was a reprint of an original receipt.
Hebda says he has reached out to Anita's "and demanded that they set the story straight and find out who is responsible."
It is unclear what will happen to the funds donated to Carter.
According to WTOP, the Loudon County NAACP says it is standing behind the waitress.
"It's sad any way it goes," Philip Thompson told the TV station.
Another fake hate crime: black guy sets car on fire, then blames it on KKK and Trump supporters
A man set his ex's car on fire for revenge, then blamed it on the KKK, police say
December 14, 2016
Vincent Palmer
The 911 caller told a dispatcher that she was worried about her brother's apparently violent abduction.
She also conceded that she was confused.
"I don't understand what's going on," she told the emergency dispatcher on Sunday.
She had found bloody fingerprints on her car and her brother's jacket lying in the street. A threatening note was nearby — and her brother, Vincent Palmer, was nowhere to be found.
"Apparently, somebody supposedly got my brother," the woman told the dispatcher on Florida's Atlantic Coast. "There's blood in the car. Somebody left a note in the car and it says 'KKK. I hate black men who f— with white women. You will never see your grandson again alive.' "
But things didn't add up. Palmer didn't live with his sister, and she had seen him only sporadically in the past few weeks. So why would a racist kidnapper leave a detailed note at her place?
The 911 dispatcher asked the caller to be frank about her brother: "Has he been having issues with anyone that you know of?"
"He's been having issues with his girlfriend," the caller said, according to a recording of the 911 call provided by the Ormond Beach Police Department.
"Issues" was probably an understatement, according to police and the mother of Palmer's ex.
In a three-day span, they say, Palmer set his ex-girlfriend's car on fire, wrote two racist notes as part of a staged hate crime, faked his own abduction and was arrested twice.
He remained in custody Wednesday. Police and jail officials did not know whether he had an attorney.
It was all part of an elaborate but ultimately doomed scheme to get back at his ex and avoid paying child support, authorities and the woman's mother say.
The couple, who have four boys together, broke up in March. They had fought frequently, said Lynda Winn, the ex-girlfriend's mother.
Sometimes the fight was in court, over child support. Sometimes Palmer landed in jail.
"She kept saying, 'Oh, I'm done with him,' " Winn said of her daughter. "Then next thing I know, she's calling him up."
But infidelity was the final straw, Winn said.
"My daughter found out that he was having an affair with this other girl that was pregnant," Winn told The Washington Post. "He did it once before and she took him back and he said he'd never do it again, but he did."
Police believe Palmer put the arson plan in motion early Friday after he got out of work as a forklift driver at a warehouse.
He headed for his girlfriend's house about 4:35 a.m., the police report says, and stopped along the way at a gas station, where he filled a Mountain Dew bottle with gasoline.
When he got to his ex's house, police say, he taped a note to her mailbox: "I HAVE WATHED [sic] YOU FOR A LONG TIME YOU AND YOUR N—– KIDS DON'T Belong."
On the other side he wrote one word: "TRUMP."
Then, the police report says, Palmer scooped up a brick from a neighbor's yard and shattered the back window of his ex's Chevrolet Sonic. He then doused the back seat with gasoline, used a burning piece of paper to ignite a fire and made a hasty exit on his scooter, police say.
Seeing the car engulfed in flames, neighbors called 911 and banged on the woman's door to make sure everyone in the house was okay.
Distraught, Palmer's ex spoke with police. Then she called Palmer, authorities said.
He showed up on the scooter with a cup of coffee and a cigarette for his ex, Winn said. But, she said, he got antsy "when they said they were going to get fingerprints off the paper. He was like, 'They can do that?' "
Authorities also thought Palmer seemed uncomfortable, according to the police report.
One officer "spoke to the defendant while at the scene and said he appeared to be nervous," the police report says. Police ran a warrant check and took Palmer into custody.
One of the conditions of his release from jail: He had to pay some of the back child support he owed.
After his release, police say, Palmer faked his own abduction, probably in an attempt to avoid legal trouble from the staged hate crime.
Winn thinks Palmer was also running from his child support obligations.
Her daughter, she said, had asked about additional delinquent money to support the boys. But after Palmer got out of jail, he vanished.
The abduction story began to unravel after Palmer's sister called 911 and reported the bloody fingerprints and the jacket, which were found in Daytona Beach.
Police there mounted a search and notified surrounding jurisdictions to be on the lookout for Palmer.
They also contacted Ormond Beach Police because of their involvement with Palmer.
Shortly afterward, police tracked Palmer via his cellphone. They found him eating at a Burger King.
Initially, the police report says, Palmer said his name was Raquel Johnson.
But he eventually shared his real identity and admitted to two days of deceit, the report says.
He said he set the fire. He said the kidnapping was bogus, too.
"The defendant told us that he wrote the note found at the arson before he left work," the report says. "He apologized for the fire and said he never meant to hurt anyone."
He said the blood outside his sister's home was his. "He had pricked his own finger and spread the blood around to add to the abduction illusion."
He was arrested again and charged with second-degree arson.
Palmer remained in Volusia County jail Wednesday with no bail set.
Fake hate crime in upstate New York: white firefighter sets his own house on fire and writes "Lie with pigs, fry like bacon."
Firefighter Charged With Torching His House, Blaming It On Anti-Cop Suspects
A spray-painted message on the home read: "Lie with pigs, fry like bacon."
December 8, 2016
A firefighter in upstate New York is facing a felony arson charge after authorities say he set his family's house on fire and wrote an anti-police message outside as a potential cover-up.
Jason Stokes, 41, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony second-degree arson following the mysterious Aug. 10 summer blaze in Endicott, just west of Binghamton, local station TV WBNG reported.
Stokes, his wife and two teenaged children escaped the home safely, state police said.
Broome County District Attorney Steve Cornwell described an "obstacle course" inside the house that firefighters had to get through.
"There were gas cans, full gas cans and other containers full with flammable material, placed throughout the home as if it were an obstacle course to get around," he said at a press conference Tuesday.
Authorities say they found a "Blue Lives Matter" flag outside the home and a spray-painted message on a wall reading: "Lie with pigs, fry like bacon."
Cornwell called the message, which he refused to repeat, a "despicable display of how law enforcement should be viewed in society today." He suggested that the message was meant to throw off investigators into believing anti-police protesters were to blame. He declined to speculate on a possible motive.
At the time of the incident, the family suggested that the fire was a targeted attack against them, WBNG reported.
Stokes was released Wednesday on $10,000 bail. An attempt to reach him for comment Thursday was not immediately successful.
The Press & Sun-Bulletin of Binghamton reported that Stokes has worked as a firefighter with the Endicott Fire Department since March 2005. He has been placed on administrative leave following the charges.
A trial date is set for April 17.
Whole Foods sues customer who falsely accused it of putting anti-gay slur on cake
In the first video shown below, A Whole Foods customer shows what he claims is an "unopened" box for the cake that he bought at Whole Foods, and shows that there is an anti-gay slur on the cake. He points out that the price sticker on the side and bottom of the box proves that the box has not been opened.
The customer then sued Whole Foods over the slur.
In the second video, Whole Foods responds by showing its security footage, which shows that when the customer bought the cake, the price sticker was actually on top of the box, not on the side, thus proving that the customer had indeed opened the box.
Whole Foods is now countersuing the customer for knowingly filing a false lawsuit.
I hope Whole Foods wins its lawsuit.

My okras seeds came from Alan Tan's amazing edibles garden, and their journey began on December 27 2015. 🙂
These were amazing seeds, they germinated in 4 days!
I am sure the seeds are good because Alan took much care preparing them for sharing among the gardening communities.
He recommended transplanting them to bigger pot when 6 leaves are present, but as usual I was running out of space at home and my okras were moved to outdoor gardens much earlier!
This green okra's journey has not been easy. Grasshoppers almost killed this plant by feasting on its leaves at 2 months old. The growing journey is slow down but it did not died, and today its still fruiting. Thus I considered okra to be an easy plant to grow even for beginners, as it is a hardy plant. Once problems arose and treated as they happened, this plant will recover on its own. For the grasshoppers problem, I used Pak Mat's homemade pesticide recipe to spray on the leaves and plant.
The taller the plant grew, the thinner the okras.
NEW DISCOVERY – I accidentally cut the top stem of an okra plant and learned something new about this easy going plant! 🙂
The plant did not die or grow taller, but new leaves and fruit start developing at the lower most of the stem, making for easier harvest! However I found that the fruiting had slowed, instead of 2 – 3 fruits at one go, it now fruit one at a time.
I am sure many gardening enthusiasts in various gardening communities seen Alan Tan's bountiful okras harvest postings. He made it seem so easy to grow them!
Lessons learned from my first okra experience – Bigger pot is needed for healthier okra plants. The roots are quite massive and they need a lot of room in the pots. 🙂 If the pot is too small (like mine), the okra plant will grow very tall and easy to topple when there were strong gusty winds. The okras were also skinny, not as juicy.
Otherwise these are relatively easy edibles to grow even for beginners. 🙂

Martin Scorsese was directing a commercial campaign for Dolce & Gabbana, and we were brought in to do it. "But why not Thelma?" you ask... Well she was busy working around the clock on a certain Oscar-nominated movie you might've heard of, so she wasn't available. By some act of God, Kevin got the call.

Some "In Lieu Of Flowers" reviews...
Recently, In Lieu Of Flowers, a feature film I edited premiered at the 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival. It was directed by my good friend Bill Savage and starred Josh Pence (Gangster Squad) and Spencer Grammar (Greek). I wanted to drop a few reviews here and show some of the things people have been saying about the movie.
"Savage shows some real potential as a filmmaker with a soft and intimate touch."
In Lieu Of Flowers is a remarkably touching story, filled with strong portrayals of emotion and most importantly, the advent of friendship. Its real success is that it does not fall prey to genre conventions or force unrealistic goals upon its protagonists. Eric and Rachel are not going to solve all of their problems by sharing a cup of coffee; nor are they going to fall madly in love one night and forget the pain and sadness that has consumed their lives over a given period of time. There is hope, though, and In Lieu Of Flowersnever allows its viewer to forget that essential fact.
Hopefully I am getting across that there are a few flaws but at the same time, some many beautiful powerful moments that help this movie stand above others. [...] It definitely left a feeling of emotion for me, which to me is a successful film.
There are many moments in the movie where there are clever witty lines by the characters as the two lean on each other for support through this painful time in their lives. Their relationship with one another slowly evolves but it seems that neither one of them are fully ready to move on to a new relationship.
Automatic Duck Somewhat-Almost-Best Practices
In my travels, I've had to do a fair number of Automatic Duck project conversions. While I was learning this process, I found that there wasn't much good information containing tips and tricks about making this process smooth. Especially now with the exodus from Apple because of FCPX, streamlining this process is more essential now than ever. I don't propose to know all the answers, but I thought it was high time somebody started putting down their experiences so that we can start working towards some kind of a "Best Practices" document. I'm humble about my experience here, but I will say that I've done it a fair amount and I think my tips are good. I'd love to hear what you think. Please leave a note in the Comments section and tell me what I got right or wrong. Quick note: What I'll talk about here is transferring between Avid and Final Cut Pro, because that's what I have experience doing. However, since Adobe After Effects workflows are prevalent nowadays as well, I'd love to hear about your experiences there. Please, leave comments.
Automatic Duck is shorthand for a number of programs developed by Wes Plate as a way to move editor sequences between Avid/Apple/Adobe products. Now that Wes has joined Adobe, his programs are now thankfully free to download. The apps are basically plugins for Final Cut Pro 7 and Adobe After Effects, so you'll need one of these apps (as well as Avid Media Composer, if that's part of your workflow) in order to transfer your footage.
- You can only send footage between different programs via sequences. There is no way to transfer whole projects at one time.
- Automatic Duck will take your sequence (and if you choose, your media) and convert it into files to import into another editing application. It can retain many simple effect information and titles, but everything must be checked to ensure accuracy.
- You can send media as either sequence information alone (where you'll import/relink media after), or you can have Automatic Duck convert your media during the export/conversion process.
- When it comes to exporting media, you should figure what stage you're at in the post process. If you're still in offline, you should maintain the resolution of something like DNx36/ProRes(LT), if you're editing in 23.98 FPS. If you are ready to finish your project, I'd transfer at DNx220X/ProRes4444.
- Remember that for every sequence you send, you create new copies of the clips in that sequence. Your new clips will not reference any clip from other imported sequences, even if it's the same clip. So, if you add a locator to one copy of the clip, it won't appear in another matching clip if it was brought in from a different sequence.
- Key to successful transfer: tape names and timecode. Make sure your clips ALL have proper tape names assigned. There is really no substitute for this. Your project HAS TO BE well-logged. The safest way to reconnected media is using the tape name and timecode metadata. This way, you will also associate new media you create with a tape name, so it becomes easier to relink to new imported sequences.
- If you have audio from a separate source, be sure that the proper tape name for the sound roll is assigned to those clips as well.
- Multiclips aka Avid Multigroups are NOT supported via AutoDuck Pro Import FCP or Pro Export FCP. That means you must collapse/remove your multigroups in your sequence before you export your sequence.
- PROTIP: assign locators to the slate mark frames and sync points for multigroups. Locators will transfer over between sequences, so it will be easier to see where your sync points are for re-grouping everything. At least you won't have to actually resync everything.
- If you are trying to send scene bins, you should take your synced clips and string them out in a sequence. If you have multi-clips, you should take your video with synced audio for EACH CAMERA and drop it into the timeline. Once you bring the media into your other editor, you'll need to rebuild your group clips, so act as if you never had them in the first place.
- Make a duplicate of your current sequence edit.
- At the tail end of that sequence, add a stringout of all clips from the scenes referenced in your cut. By sending all your clips in one sequence, you can maintain the links between the clips you sort into scene bins and the clips in your sequence. Your sequence will be hours and hours long, but then you'll have clips that link to each other. Now, editorial tools like Match Frame will work.
- Don't convert your media with AutoDuck. Just batch import the Quicktimes for your shots in Avid. Too many times I've found that AutoDuck crashed overnight while trying to move clips from FCP<->Avid.
- If you're moving your project from Avid->FCP, you have three choices depending on how your media was imported. If your media was captured to tape, your best bet is to recapture. If your media was imported tapelessly into Avid via AMA, I'd probably suggest just using FCP's Log & Transfer to convert your media to FCP-friendly flavors, then relink those clips to the clips brought in via AutoDuck. Lastly, if your media was simply imported from Quicktime into Avid, just relink to the original media files!
- For a long time, FCP7's support for normal ProTools workflows havs been sub-par. But by using AutoDuck's Pro Export FCP, you can now export new modern AAFs for your sound finishing needs. Since Pro Export FCP exports AAFs for Avid to import, and you have all the normal AAF export options available (consolidate whole clips, consolidate to folder, link to media, etc), you are now free from FCP's OMF 2.0 export function. Yay!
- In my experience, transferring projects from FCP->Avid and relinking via AMA has rarely worked. Maybe you'll get lucky, but I find that it just doesn't always see the right clips. Your best bet is to batch import, since you can force Avid to recognize a certain clip as coming from a certain movie file.
- Automatic Duck is not a perfect app but it's better than nothing. As with many "unsupported" workflows, GIVE YOURSELF TIME AND DO NOT EXPECT IT TO WORK RIGHT IMMEDIATELY. I can't stress this enough. Run some tests. Decide what might be best. Don't force it.LASTLY, and most importantly, please tell me about your experiences in the Comments section.

What I'm Working On - CLAIRE Rides.TV Interactive Experience
A quick note to update everyone on a "transmedia experience" I edited last month. The project is an interactive video that includes you in the story through emails, phone calls, and texts. It was a collaboration with fellow Emerson alums Landon Zakheim and Justin Gurnari the great crew at Fourth Wall Studios. It was a blast to work on and a lot of fun to experiment with the medium. Check out this LA Times article written about the company.

What I'm Working On: Iron & Wine - "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" Music Video
When I was in New York in September, I met with the amazing people at Dig For Fire. I've admired their work for years, from the fantastic live in-store performances they shoot at Other Music to an awesome Band Of Horses video and now to their relationship with Spotify. I have been wanting to work for them for a long time. Finally I had the chance. They had just gone into the studio with Iron & Wine to film the re-recording of his classic tune "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" for the new Twilight: Breaking Dawn soundtrack. To add to it, Marketa Irglova from The Swell Season came in to sing harmony on the the track. They asked if I thought I could cut the video in the two weeks I was in town. I said ABSOLUTELY!
Currenlty, Wordpress.com doesn't support VH1 embeds. So if you wanna see it there here it is. The VH1 link has over 70,000 views already!
What I'm Working On - Everything Is A Remix: THE MATRIX
A new addendum to Kirby Ferguson's web series Everything Is A Remix is up. I edited it and produced it with Kirby's help and script help from Cynthia Closkey. Check it out! I hope you like it. You can also see the link to the video on everythingisaremix.info. [vimeo 29996808 w=640h=360]
Quick Avid Tip: Display your UNC File Path in the bin!
Okay, just a quick tip I worked out yesterday while I was trying to organize dailies for a documentary I am working on. The producer/directors had organized everything I needed to build out the Avid project on a hard drive: hours and hours of Quicktimes, all sorted out by subject or location. I was going to import them in one fell swoop, but I needed some way to organize the media once it came into the Avid. As it was, all the media arrived in one big bin. This is where the UNC File Path comes in. For those who don't know, the UNC File Path is short for Universal Naming Convention and is basically a piece of metadata that tracks the folder directory location of every imported piece of media into Avid. This is how, when you go to batch import, the Avid remembers where your imported Quicktime came from. It records it in the UNC File Path.
So back to where I was. Now that I have all my Quicktimes imported, I needed a way to display the UNC File Paths so that I could organize the media into separate bins. The hard thing about this situation is the the metadata will not display in every type of Avid project. Currently, I'm working in an SD 29.97 project since most of my media is HDV and DV. When I go to my Bin Headings...
...and I try to select UNC File Path, it's not an option for me.
Ahhhh! Why, Avid, why? Why do you torment me by knowing this information and not displaying it?!?!?
Never fear, though. When it comes to the task at hand, the Avid will give me everything I need. Currently, the UNC File Path will only display in a 24p Avid Project. "But Rob, my project isn't a 24p project?" No sweat! In current versions of Avid Media Composer, you can still open and view video media of any project frame rate in any other project frame rate. That means that you can still take a copy of your bin and move it into a 24p Project, view everything, organize it into any order you want, and move it back into your native project when you're done.
Do like I do: create a 24p project with the Film radio box checked. I called mine UNC File Path, so that I can keep it forever.
Now, make a copy of your bin that has the media you want to see the UNC File Path for, and copy it into your new 24p project.
Do the same thing as above: go to select your Bin Columns, and then, like magic, it appears. Yay! Go to town!
Now a quick caveat to this tip. Thus far, I have not been able to make the Avid display this bin column in every type of project. My tip is limited to bin and clip organization. If for some reason you need to create any media, do NOT do it in your 24p project. Sort the master clips into new bins and bring it back into your native resolution project. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's better than what I was doing before I figured this out. Happy Editing!
PS - Oh yeah...hey Avid! Can you fix this please? I shouldn't need a work around. Lovingly, Rob.
What I'm Working On: Miranda July, Reggie Watts, and the Teen Choice Awards.
Okay, so three new pieces of video here, edited by yours truly. Two new, one old, but everything very cool (I think). First, "A Handy Guide For The Easily Distracted", the vignette I cut with Miranda as a promotional piece for her new film The Future. Now that I've found an embedable link for the video, I decided to repost a note about it. Check it out! Then click the link below it to visit the original site with the posting and read a great interview with her about her work.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc57X0j_UwM&w=480&h=300] Click here to read her interview.
Next, a music video I cut featuring Reggie Watts. This video was finished a few months ago, but I haven't had the time to write about it. The band featured in the song is Eagle And Talon, a super-awesome duo producing some great tunes. Shot by Catherine Goldschmidt and edited by me!
Lastly, the 2011 Teen Choice Awards! Yay! Harry Potter was the big winner at this year's awards, so they asked me to cut a tribute package for the film to close the show. It got a great response and even a mention in the Hollywood Reporter and other news sites. Check it out here. You can also watch the presentation from the TCA below it.

May 8th Prompt from WritersWrite1: "Write about the first book you read that made you want to become a writer."
It is, perhaps, strange that there is no distinct turning point in my memory, but there isn't one. I have always enjoyed writing, though I've been more and less serious about it or more or less drawn to different forms or genres of it at different times in my life. I don't honestly recall ever thinking of myself as something other than a writer. Sure, I didn't think – or wasn't certain – that I was going to do it professionally, necessarily, but I wasn't ruling it out. I loved reading and I loved words.
If I can address the question a bit more broadly, to discuss the books that stick in my mind as especially inspiring with respect to my path as a writer, there are, however, a few.
ONE: My mother gave me – or let me borrow? – a small, thin purple book with some sort of tiny geometric pattern on the jacket. It was hardback even at that size. A book of Maya Angelou's most memorable poems. There was one she knew practically by heart – "Phenomenal Woman" – and I remember the rhythm of the words in her mouth, the rocking of her hips, and the way those words seemed to DO something, like they were alive and active.
I felt the same when I discovered Nikki Giovanni, Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nina Simone. I know you're thinking, "But some of those are musicians!" I know, but they sing poetry, to me, and that counts. I wanted to write in ways that would flow past my ear and pour down my spine like warm water, in slow-motion trickles and rapid slick torrents. I wanted to make words, find words, and build up ways with words that DID something, that affected someone somewhere the way all those words had affected me.
TWO: The children were smart, so smart, almost TOO smart. They could do things that astounded the adults, that turned the tide of wars, reshaped political landscapes, and ultimately brought peace, prosperity, and revolution to their world and the galaxy beyond. It wasn't so much that Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game inspired me to write, but, rather, it helped me to feel, at a core level, what my parents were trying to cultivate in me. It helped me to Dream Big. The kids in that book weren't perfect. Indeed, they were deeply flawed in their own ways, and they struggled on multiple levels, but they rose to the challenge more times than they backed down and they achieved amazing things. I could be one of them. Why not? If that included writing, so be it. "My age is nothing," I thought, "I am capable of so much more."
THREE: It was a thick book, one of my mother's favorite, and it came with a story about reading it in one sitting on a night before a university exam, a story that included getting no sleep but acing the test anyway because the book was so relevant. I remember some highlighting, maybe some notes, and I can't remember if I was the one who dog-eared the forty-page speech in the middle or if it came to me that way, but I admit that the first time I read the book, I skipped it and had to go back. It wasn't the kind of reading anyone could say was easy, but it was astonishingly engrossing. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
The book has gotten a bad rap over the years, as the author's philosophies have sustained hits from all sides, but I genuinely believe that as literary art, it is a model in many ways. Philosophically dense, of course, and entirely too long for most audiences, true, but the heft isn't fluff. The layers of substance, the exploration of human emotions, economies, love, sex, politics, business, technology, the past, and the future can't just be thrown away because one doesn't agree with this bit or that other bit – not for me, anyway. I still love it, many years and multiple rereadings later. It still makes me feel like the equivalent of a foodie for literature. I find myself salivating in want of the next course, lusting for certain turns of phrase, an iconic character moment, an elegant plot shift. She is a far more skillful artist than most are willing to acknowledge. I knew, wrapped up in her words and worlds, that I would love to write something so finely crafted as well as something that MATTERED, something that people would return to again and again because it spoke to something core to humanity, even if that core was perceived differently by different sorts of people.
FOUR: Oddly enough, I'd put off reading it for years. I'd read another book by the same author and enjoyed it, but heard that this was really her masterpiece. I'd bought everything I could find by the author and stacked it on my shelf for years, but I just … never picked it up. Then, somehow, I can't recall exactly, I stumbled upon the audiobook version and decided to try it on. It fit better than a glove. It felt like someone had reached into my mind and rearranged everything that I loved about literature, recombining it into something that was written just for me, something I couldn't help but love in the emotion-overwhelming way that moves some people to tears during symphonies and operas. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler is in a class of its own.
At heart, I'm a poet, with story-writing coming second in my life, and the lyricism of Butler's work does more than steal your breath. It is a lockbox for human hearts and fuel for any challenging road ahead. Walk away from it unread at your own peril. You will have missed something so vitally, beautifully, horrifyingly human. You are walking the world as if never having felt tears or shared laughter. This book is GORGEOUS! And it made me think that maybe, somewhere in me, there is something equally devastating in its beauty, even in darkness. It reminded me that, in writing, every part of me is welcome; in writing, I am not alone but in the company of many mentors and present, if quiet, friends.
These are the books that have most inspired me to be a writer and to learn and practice this art and craft. I am a wordsmith-in-development, exploring strength, strategy, darkness, and beauty made all the more real by its flaws. That is the essence of my writing life and these books are my oft-remembered teachers.
What books inspired or shaped your writing life? Was there a specific moment that you remember shifting your thinking toward becoming a writer?

Starting a YouTube channel for vlogs can be a great idea, especially if you're passionate about a particular subject or niche and you have a lot of ideas for interesting YouTube videos that others will enjoy watching.
As you start the process, though, there are a few things that you really should keep in mind. Before you write your first script or turn the camera on to film your first YouTube video, answer these six questions for yourself.
Do You Have a Passion for Your YouTube Channel Topics?
If you're starting a YouTube channel only because it seems like the popular thing to do or because you think that there's a big demand for a certain kind of video, think again. The most popular and successful vloggers on YouTube have one thing in common. They all started their channels because they were passionate about their vlog topics and/or niches.
If you aren't really excited by the vlogging topic(s) or area that you've chosen, take a moment to think about what does excite you and if you can turn that into the basis for a YouTube vlog channel. No matter how popular your original idea for your YouTube channel is right now, you can count on a lot more success if you go with one that you're really enthusiastic about.
Do You Enjoy Vlogging?
This might sound like a silly question, but you might be surprised how many people start vlog channels, only to find out that they really don't actually like vlogging at all. However, unless you actively dislike everything about vlogging, that doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't start a YouTube channel.
Take some time to think about which aspects of vlogging you like and dislike. Do you love writing scripts, shooting footage, and editing, but hate being in front of the camera? If you can find someone who's less camera-shy to collaborate with, you'll be in business. Do you love coming up with ideas for videos and shooting them, but you just can't stand the editing process? There are thousands of people out there who love editing and will be happy to work for you at reasonable rates.
Do You Like Engaging With Viewers?
Vlogging isn't just about uploading videos to YouTube for other people to watch. Your viewers want to interact with you. They want to feel involved, and they want to be a part of a community. The more you engage with them and the more you foster that community feeling, the more successful you'll be.
Will You Be Consistent on YouTube?
Consistency is just as key as engagement. Are you prepared to set a schedule for your vlogs and put videos out on time and on a regular basis? Having a consistent schedule lets your audience know when to tune in and when to expect new videos. This is essential for long term growth and success!
Is Your Brand Name Unique?
If you've answered the first four questions, and you're ready to keep going, it's time to talk a little bit more specifically about branding and marketing. Do you have a brand name for your YouTube channel, and is it unique and memorable?
You want your vlogging brand name to reflect your YouTube videos and your brand voice, and you want it to be unique enough that you'll be able to use it across social media platforms and so that fans searching for you will be able to find you based on a Google search for your brand name.
Do You Have a Marketing Plan As You Start Vlogging?
Finally, you could put out the highest quality, most interesting and entertaining videos on earth, but without a marketing plan, who's going to see them? Overnight viral discoveries do happen, but you can't plan on them. That's like planning to win the lottery.
If you have a plan to create presences across all of the relevant social media platforms and to consistently post to them and to your YouTube Channel, you have a good start to a marketing plan. The more detailed you get and the more you outline your specific goals and milestones, the more success you'll achieve with your YouTube channel and vlogs.
If you have satisfactory answers to all six of these questions, then you're ready to get started on your YouTube channel right now. Don't worry if you're still figuring it out, though. These considerations will help you get started and really figure out which direction you want to take.

A quiet, comfortable, relaxed and delightful place which completely matches its description on the website. Sarah is an excellent host. We will be back as soon as we are in the area again.
I fully endorse what your previous guest has said - there's little to add on the peaceful location, the comfortable beds, the delicious breakfasts. It was a treat to stay in such a beautifully furnished house. Sarah was very concerned to make our stay as enjoyable as possible in every way: she was helpful - but not intrusive - on matters such as where we might like to eat (important to us!) and was great fun. Altogether a memorable stay.
I had a lovely week at Church Farmhouse. The Farmhouse itself dates back to 1600, is beautiful and so quiet. The room was wonderful with a extremely comfy bed - didn't really want to get up - except for the delicious cooked breakfasts...Sarah, the hostess, was incredibly friendly and helpful with suggestions where to go on visits and where to eat out - she knows the area like the back of her hand. Uggeshall is a great base for exploring the area. I will definitely stay again when visiting Suffolk. Thank you Sarah.
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Sarah Lentaigne
- We are brilliantly placed to really discover this part of Suffolk and the Heritage Coast. Within minutes you can be in Southwold, a charming town with lots of history, privately owned shops, a beautiful church, and enjoy the unspoilt harbour.
- Walberswick is within 15 minutes by car where you can laze on the beach, walk to Dunwich, enjoy lunch at The Anchor and just wander around !
- Then there is Aldeburgh, half an hour away - with a fabulous bookshop, good restaurants, nearby Thorpeness, a walk along the beach and lots more ! You could also spend the day at Minsmere the RSPB Reserve. .
- Snape Maltings - with its wonderful concert hall,a variety of shops - great to visit on a wet day -and a couple of very good pubs
- You could head north to Norfolk and go to Blickling Hall, discover Norwich, with its covered market and of course a beautiful cathedral. And big houses to visit too !
- Perhaps a day spent at Helminghall Hall would entice with its beautiful gardens open on certain days. Woottens Plants a perennial's nursery is nearby, and quite a few other wonderful places for plants - the Walled Garden at Snape is also special..

Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy that defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate who ransacks villages for fun, Luffyâs reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder; the thought of an exciting adventure and meeting new and intriguing people, along with finding One Piece, are his reasons of becoming a pirate.

I so have button badge envy!
So for those of you who have a collection of button badges, how super is this framed heart. I was thinking seeing as I don't have any, maybe some of the stunning buttons I've been hoarding.
Another idea I had was creating an "S" for Schimper and hanging in it my entrance hall. Ok maybe not buttons in my entrance hall, maybe an "S" for Samantha and done in yummy colours for her bedroom.
hmmm I might just do that :) See the original source here

Remember being given a word, an idea or a theme and using that as inspiration? Remember the excitement that ran through your mind and traveled to your fingertips as your idea came to life? You've probably experienced this during your critique sessions from various creative classes. Remember the nervous anticipation that traveled through your spine as you wondered what others would say about your work? The rush of inspiration and adrenaline doesn't need to stop after you graduate. As everyone grows farther apart in their physical locations and busy lives, there are still two things that connect us as artists – the desire to create and be inspired AND the world wide web.
Here, on this blog, I will create such a community called The Inspirational Circle. Let go of your creative block, and let the Inspirational Circle inspire you. Each month I will post a theme along with some inspiring examples and all creative people are inspired to share their work based on that theme. All creative work will be considered – drawing, painting, photography, poetry, prose, mixed media, sculpture, etc. All prose and poetry can be directly submitted as a comment and all images and other media may need to be submitted via a link to your url. At the end of the month, I will respond to that thread with my work in relations to that theme and also highlight my favorite submissions. Then I will start a new theme for the following month.
To kick off 2012, the theme for January is REFLECTION.
Think literally or figuratively and make it your own. Have fun with it and be inspired. Need some inspiration?
Read about the various meanings of the word reflection on Wikipedia
Listen to the famous Mulan song Reflection or a similar one by Christina Aguilera
Some religious poems here: http://silentreed.hubpages.com/hub/Poems-of-Reflection
Since I couldn't find a really cool poem about reflection online, I shall inspire you with one of my old ones: Not Even the Trees
As for imagery, here are some cool ones that I found online 🙂
Alright, go speculate your ideas and make some art! I shall do the same and will post back here around 2/12/11. I will send twitter updates, so hope to see your work start piling up. 😉
You can also participate through the Facebook Page! We have 9 creative people already involved in the fun!

Detectives are hunting a burglar who confronted an elderly woman in her bedroom during an early hours raid.
The victim was asleep at home sometime between 2am and 4am when she was woken by a man shining a torch into her bedroom.
He then stole her handbag which contained a quantity of cash.
The fiend also stole a necklace from her bedside table.
This necklace is a shape of the letter M and was bought by her late husband and is of sentimental value.
The woman was left uninjured but she is left shaken by her March 8 ordeal.
Det Insp Cath Haggerty said: "This must have been a terrifying ordeal for this lady and I'm sure the local community would agree that this was despicable.
"To have someone come into her home in the dead of night and take cash and jewellery, is completely shocking and we are working hard to trace the offender responsible.
"Although the woman was uninjured, she has been left understandably distressed and is especially upset the loss of this sentimental necklace.
"I'm asking the local community and even pawn shops, if they have been offered this distinctive M necklace, to get in contact so we can reunite it with the victim.
"This would also appeal to anyone who was on Blackbrook Road area on Thursday, 9 March to cast their minds back to that date, I know this burglary took place in the early hours but if you remember anyone acting suspiciously in this area, please do give us a call."
Anyone who has any information is asked to call detectives in St Helens on 0151 777 6013 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

These ain't for sitting by the lake with a drink in your hand - they're for banging out tasks with a hammer in it. The heavy-duty cotton denim is tough but comfortable. The extra pockets keep your tools by your side. And the long inseam and relaxed style combine for a work-ready fit. If you're working in warm weather, you'll want to be wearing these.

On Top of the World!
(Image from Flickr)
That's how I'm feeling right now! Honestly, I haven't run 5 miles since probably 2008... maybe 2009 but I don't think so. (That makes me sad to read, much less put it out there for all to see.)
I was going through my run history on Nike+ and my 5k this week was literally only 2 seconds more than my personal record! That is awesome! Also, there is a thing toward the bottom that shows your best times for the mile, the 5k and the 10k. I was looking at the blank 10k section and realized "Hey! I was just 1.1 miles short of that today!!! (Eee!) I could probably get a 10k time in there very soon!!!" I honestly don't think I have EVER run that many miles in one shot in my life! (6.2) I have always been fast, but short distance fast. I have never done, or had any inclination to do, long distance running. Why would I? I played hockey- no running there. I played rugby- short, fast spurt running there. So it never came into play.
However, here I am in a new town that is very small (population of 3,500 I believe) and has no real althetic avenue for me. Where I lived before I was still playing women's hockey, which is by far my preferred method of exercise. But I have nothing here.
I am a competitve person.
I need something to be competing at.
Even if it is with myself.
Therefore I am now running.
And setting goals for said running.
Honestly I would love to be able to compete in races too but like I said... small town, plus it's an island so I can't just drive to a nearby town and there are no races that I have heard of here in town. So I will just keep competing with myself. And you know what? I'm actually OK with that :)
Ever since I started running with Aurora I have really started falling more in love with running. I think when I went by myself it felt like an obligation. I did it because I had to, because I needed exercise to lose weight. Now I do it because it is a fun thing to do with my furry sweetie plus I am enjoying it and I love to see the improvements in my times and distances.
I have decided that I want to be one of these chicks.... A totally BadAss runner chick :)
