As a personal example, many years ago I did the straight, literal translations for the Shin-chan anime series for FUNimation, and those translations were then rewritten and punched-up like crazy by Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer, and some of FUNimation’s own writers for the English dub that aired on Adult Swim:

Though the sparkly blue waters may seem inviting, trouble may be lurking under the surface in the form of a parasite that causes an itchy and sometimes painful condition commonly known as “swimmer’s itch.” George News, LLC, 2013, all rights reserved.SOUTHERN UTAH – Summer is in full swing in Southern Utah, and with temperatures regularly reaching the triple digits, residents and visitors alike might be considering heading out to one of the many lakes and reservoirs in the area to cool off. Go for a swimming pool if it bothers you, because there is no such thing as a paradise without flaws.”Īdditional information on swimmer’s itch can be found on the Sand Hollow State Park website. Melling said people shouldn’t worry or be discouraged from swimming in potentially infected waters. Most cases do not require medical attention, but if symptoms persist after two weeks, contact your doctor. Swimmer’s itch is not tracked by the health department because it is not a life-threatening condition. Most people don’t come in for it anymore because they already know what it is.” We’ve seen a half-dozen (cases) so far this year. Greg Jacobsen, dermatologist at Southwest Skin and Cancer Institute said, “This is the time of year – June, July, August – when there is a local outbreak, we see quite a bit of it. Melling has a few solutions to prevent swimmers itch: “Put on bug repellant and waterproof sun block and dry off when you get out of the water because this is a parasite that moves from fish to water fowl to fish, and that’s how it moves around from lake to lake,” she said. “The parasite tries to burrow into human skin which it can’t do, so it irritates people.” But there are some people that never build up an antibody to swimmer’s itch and get it every year. “It’s like with kids that get the measles, most don’t get them again. The reality of my research through the health department is that 7 percent of the public will have a reaction,” Melling said. The itching can last a week or more, but will generally go away in about three days. All symptoms usually do not last longer than a week or two. Scratching the infected area can lead to secondary infections. These pimples can then turn into small blisters. The small reddish pimples will typically appear within 12 hours. Symptoms can occur within minutes after leaving infected water, or hours in some cases. Tingling, burning or itching of the skin.It is found throughout the world and is more frequent during summer months. Swimmer’s itch is the human body’s allergic reaction to a free-swimming microscopic parasite called cercarial that lives in shallow water. Three were itching without a rash-could be a reaction to the sun or dry skin, and the other four I didn’t personally see,” Melling said. On Saturday, I had about 15,000 people through here and had six cases reported. Laura Melling, park manager for Quail Creek and Sand Hollow State Parks, said few incidents of swimmer’s itch have been reported so far this summer. SOUTHERN UTAH – Good news for swimmers looking to dive into nearby waters this summer: They may be a bit less itchy than usual. Or, I was calm, until a large snake in the tough grass beside the narrow trail reared up and shook its rattle at me angrily. Signs at trail heads in the Badlands National Park warn of snakes in the grass. ![]() But somehow the remoteness and tranquility are calming. Hot as hell, dry as a bone and full of rattlesnakes. Hiking into the heart of the outcrop is just freaky. The 1992 movie Thunderheart, with Val Kilmer and Graham Greene, is set in the Badlands, are both good for scenery and insight.Īs a visitor to the Badlands now, there’s a bleak allure to the topography, especially when sunrise and sunset bring out the orange and red layers of the rocky pinnacles and bighorn sheep are silhouetted on the tops of little buttes. This was also where the Lakota tried to escape from the advancing US army in 1890 but were pursued south to a barren place where their last hope of resisting the white man died in the massacre at Wounded Knee, where hundreds of Lakota men, women and children were shot in cold blood. In the past, it was a dreaded obstacle for wagon trains. The area’s a national park now and it makes for a weird hiking experience. Out of level terrain, a 50-mile wall of jagged rock suddenly rears up, dividing the prairie with a wide, high rocky barrier, where it’s searing hot all summer and devoid of water and shade (hence the name). Preserved pioneer family’s homestead dwelling between the Badlands and Rapid City.

Check off Mount Rushmore and the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial of a figure on horseback being slowly carved into another mountain. Start in Rapid City, which is small and does not move rapidly, but where some good food and the performing and fine arts can be found. For reasons to be examined later, you can ignore The Revenant, despite Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar-winning turn as a mountain man mauled by a bear in South Dakota, whose tale of human survival became a legend. They make an excellent, if eccentric, unofficial travel guide. Think of Dances With Wolves, Little Big Man, How the West Was Won, Calamity Jane, Hidalgo, Badlands, Thunderheart – all the anti-westerns, crime thrillers and murder mysteries. Pick from decades of movies set in South Dakota and you’ll find legendary towns, incredible wildlife and tumultuous history, all within easy driving range. But that’s where Hitchcock and Hollywood come in handy. ![]() On first thought, South Dakota might appear too big and too obscure a state for a week’s vacation. But the views from the approach roads and public paths are great nonetheless, and it’s an obvious place to start a visit to South Dakota. ![]() SkyDrive also lets you share public links, view-only private links, and view/edit private links, which is nice to have. And like with Drive (and Google Docs), you can edit (and create) documents for free within your browser. SkyDrive creates an experience akin to iCloud, but for Microsoft products - except you can also edit documents in groups like you can with Box or Dropbox. SkyDrive really excels at syncing documents created using OneNote and other Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. If you move quickly (and have used SkyDrive before), you can quickly nab 25GB of total free storage space. SkyDrive starts things off right by offering 7GB of free storage, which is best in class. SkyDrive is Microsoft's syncing solution, and in our testing, it works very smoothly. Pricing: 25GB for $2.49/month 100GB for $4.99/month 200GB for $9.99/month more options from Google. Also, the company's mobile apps are in private beta, which means you can't use them just yet. In the end, Insync is a great solution for syncing files to and from your Google Docs account, but doesn't let you sync much else. Move files within these folders and the next time you check Google Docs, the file will have switched labels. In fact, you might want to use Insync solely as a file manager for your Google Docs files since it lets you drag-and-drop things around between folders (labels in Google Docs). Drive syncs Docs to your computer as web shortcuts. One cool feature is that unlike Drive, Insync will automatically convert your files into formats (like. Once you initiate a sync, all of the Google Docs crap you've ever opened will get downloaded to your computer. Instead, you're popped into a Google permissions screen online, an indication of how closely Insync is tied with Google. The first time you open the app, you won't even see an application screen. Each account gets its own folder on your computer, but you can't sync any other folders on your computer unless they are inside an Insync folder. So anyway, Insync works really well as a Dropbox substitute, syncing without a hitch to your Google Drive account. If you want to upgrade, Google's prices are much cheaper than the Amazon AWS prices Dropbox charges for storage upgrades. Insync uses the free storage you already have as a part of your Google Docs (now Drive) account, which means that for each Google account you have, you get 5GB of free storage. After the Drive launch today, this isn't the case any longer, but Insync is still just as cheap as Drive. ![]() Insync's motto is "8x cheaper than Dropbox," while providing many of the same features and capabilities. Drive comes with 5GB of storage free, with generous upgrade options like $2.49/month for 25GB of extra storage and $4.99/month for 100GB of storage. For a full hands-on of Google Drive, click here. You can't yet use Drive with multiple Google accounts, which is a pain, but we'd expect that feature in due time.ĭrive launches on the web, for Mac, Windows, and Android devices today, with iOS support on the way "in the coming weeks." The Android app (which replaces Google Docs) won't stream your content, however, unlike some competitors like Dropbox and SugarSync. Additionally, Drive features a built-in document editor on par with Microsoft's online Office suite that's part of SkyDrive. It'll also tie right in to Google+, Gmail, Android, and other Google services that will let you drop-in or upload files (almost like you might with attachments inside Sparrow for Mac, which can instantly upload attachments to CloudApp). In this way, Drive's real strengths lie on the web and with the features we previously mentioned. Also like Dropbox, you cannot pick other folders on your computer to sync to Drive. ![]() ![]() In terms of everyday use, Drive offers the same drag-and-drop syncing as Dropbox, and lets you pick which folders inside Drive you want to sync from within the desktop app. Drive also includes an option to turn on OCR text scanning, which means that when you upload images to Drive, Google will scan the images for text and make them searchable (similar to Evernote Premium). To this extent, Drive creates a QuickLook-esque experience inside your web browser that makes it much easier to thumb through files. Dropbox and a few others open files inside a "web gallery," but Drive opens Photoshop files - even if you don't have Photoshop on your computer. First, Drive can open up to 30 kinds of files right inside your browser. While Google Drive isn't much more than a Docs rebranding that syncs to a folder on your computer, it has a few key features that make it worth checking out. ![]() In the Albumartist list on the web interface I now wrongly get Clare Martin ![]() ![]() This website is developed as a part of the world's largest public domain archive,, and not developed or endorsed by the U.S. law and are therefore in the public domain. ![]() National Archives and DVIDS is "a work prepared by an officer or employee" of the federal government "as part of that person's official duties."
