An opportunity….
Hmm…I guess I'm looking for some general advice for a question that only I can answer...
However, any thoughts on the matter are greatly appreciated.
First, I work full time as head of a video and webcast department, which allows me a lot of freedom but not necessarily the most exciting subjects. In the past I have always hired out camera crews and then did the editing in-house. I'm the only person in my department but can hire staff to help out if the work load get a bit crazy.
So, I have been doing this for awhile and now I would like to take on a bit of a challenge – purchase some interview lighting and camera equipment and start to do the bulk of the shooting myself and perhaps hire a local sound guy/ gal.
So pretty much direct, shoot and edit the bulk of our work.
Off the top of my head there seems to be a lot of advantages for me: specifically learning more about shooting/camera work and composition. Negatives are the possibility of being over worked and the steep learning curve.
The company seems keen and is willing to front the cash since the level of incoming work seems to justify it.
So…is this a bad idea to pursue? Does any one else on the forum do something similar?
Well, having the stuff there means you will be able to respond quickly to any sudden instant requests for a taping. Is that something that's likely to happen a lot?
You doing more shooting does mean less time for editing. But you gain more control over the process creatively.
I like being the shooter, director, and editor all at the same time, because the editor in me will not leave the director and shooter sides alone until we're all three sure there is enough proper coverage and all the proper optional shots have been taken, the sound is good, etc...
As the writer/producer, I like to see the shooting done exactly the way I envisioned it. But, for standard bust shot sit-down interviews, is it really all that creatively complicated?
Kind of a threadjack, but tangentially related:
I do a lot of training shoots with lecturers talking while running their powerpoint slides. I really don't consider this the best use of the medium and I die inside a little every time I have to do it, but it puts food on the table.
But while daydreaming a little during a boring bit, I thought about what I could do to streamline the process, and what I would really like is a custom plate on the studio pedestal with two identical cameras on it as close together as possible. I would pre-set the lenses so one is a closeup and one the wider shot. I live switch these things typically to save time but it would be a nice rig to use in things that will be edited later as well, like interviews, because you have everything you need in one take, no need to go back and re-shoot a bit because of a blown line of dialog, and you have two angles to cut with.
In training video lectures I would put the dual cams behind a large 45-degree beamsplitter and prompter screen so the lecturer could just see their PPT slides yet still make perfect eye contact with the cameras. I kind of do this now with two tripods next to each other and staggered cameras but the eyelines are not quite right due to excessive parellax problems, and the ppt monitor is below the lens instead of in front of it. Works okay but could be better.
I've been in your shoes before. I've been a one-man video operation for a large global corporation. What I always preferred to do is hire a freelance crew to use our equipment. Give them direction and let the set-up, light, and shoot the video. You are the Director. You work with the internal clients.
Corporate video is all about perception. If you're perceived to be the camera person, you'll never be promoted. If you're the director, leading your crew, dealing with the client and even editing the video, the respect level of others will go up.
Sure shoot those small quick videos...but bring in good people to work with you on any time consuming projects. Once others start seeing the quality of what you're delivering, you'll get busier, and won't have time to light, shoot, edit, etc. Good luck
Many thanks for your thoughts
Its very helpful
One important concept to this is security. I'm where you want to be but it is not for those who are not prepared to be serious risk takers. If you worry about your mortgage payment, phone bill, obsess with having " cushion of money in the bank...
then this might not be for you.
You should add about 1500 / 2000 per month to your income requirements for GOOD health insurance
Now, if your wife/partner/ etc has a full benefit package and you don;t have to worry about heath insurnace , then go for it.
If you have about 30 - 40 K laying in the bank for the occasional neck, shoulder, back injury, gal bladder attack, knee operation, or heavens forbit.. worse ( and then you'll need a lot mor money..)
then youre good to go.
Me.. I have a diversivied income.. my wife has a govt. job. if I was on my own, I'd might just homeless right now! ( and she's the worrier, not me!)
just another perspective... but then again, if the work is there, and you are aware of being responsible enough not to loose your shirt over a medical issue.. then man.. Go FOR IT!!

Exploring the Mediterranean on a luxury charter yacht opens the Mediterranean to you in a unique manner. Fully crewed yacht charters in all parts of the Mediterranean are available on all types of charter yachts, luxury mega yachts, motor yachts and sailing yachts. Stay a week or more on a charter yacht in the Mediterranean–there's plenty to see!
The Mediterranean is split largely into two parts, first and most popular is the western Mediterranean which has a wider and more diverse choice of yachts in more locations offering everything from popular "be seen" locations such as Cannes and Monaco to more quiet anchorages in lesser know locations. The transportation and accomodations ashore, shopping and nightlife are generally more developed and support a higher level of tourism. The Western Mediterranean includes the French Riviera, its cosmopolitan coastline offering everything from scuba diving to boutiques, all-night discos and water sports of every type. Must stops will include Cannes and Monte Carlo. The Italian Riviera includes Genoa in the north where a charter could include Portofino and a drive to Cinque Terra where five tiny villages nestle back into the cliff tops. On the western shore of Italy, A cruise to the Amalfi coast south of Naples will allow you to include visits to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii in your vacation. You might also pass the day browsing the legendary shops at Capri. The Blue Grotto here is still one of the world's wonders. The Eastern Mediterranean includes Greece, Turkey, and the newly rediscovered Croatian coast. Nothing compares to this part of the Mediterranean with perfect blue green seas matched with ancient history and its splendors. It tends to be less populated and steeped in history and ancient sites to explore, after all, Greece is often recognised as the birth of civilisation and hence history often forms a large part of yacht charters in this part of the Mediterranean. While all choices of yachts are available, choices often are more limited.
Our services are available to you at no additional cost, so be sure to take advantage of our expertise to plan a yachting holiday that exceeds your imagination on a fully crewed private yacht anywhere in the world. We specialize in one thing and one thing only – fully crewed luxury yacht charter worldwide, making us the only yacht charter company you need to call. contact us for no obligation and no cost advice.

Mountaineering Kate (Search for similar jokes)
Kate Moss is at the top of mountain, looking down, when suddenly she slips, and starts falling down, down, down....(moss: 83 of 131)
But as she falls, she realises that amazingly, she's missing all the boulders and rocks that litter the sides of the mountain. When she finally stops falling, she gets up, and finds that she's totally uninjured.
And the moral of this story is...?
A rolling Moss gathers no stones.

It's time for another round of Ultimate Coffee Date! It's fun to link up with a bunch of bloggers and have virtual coffee on a Saturday morning! Be sure to click the coffee date badge bleow to see all of the other fun posts.
Thanks for joining me for some coffee this morning! And lucky for you, I've got more than just coffee being served up. I've been on a total waffle kick lately. Is there anyone out there that DOESN'T like waffles? I'm pouring out your latte and sending you away if that's you.
Just kidding.
So today, we're having coffee and waffles. I recently went to a new(ish) breakfast place here in Fort Collins and they served up some bomb gluten free apple waffles. If a breakfast restaurant can serve GF waffles, they have a loyal customer in me! Since I can't go out to breakfast every day (meh), I've been making waffles more at home too!
I recently got sent a package of Nicole's Naturals Gluten Free Waffle & Pancake Mix to try. I didn't even save any for pancakes because I'm too obsessed with waffles. These were so yummy! I made one batch exactly how the instructions say to and they turned out great (imagine that?!). The next time I used egg replacer and coconut oil so my little sister could eat them. They still tasted delish but didn't come out of my waffle iron as nicely. (This could have been user error too...sometimes I get impatient with the little buggers). These aren't your average white, fluffy waffles...they have an awesome whole grain-y texture and taste, with an extra little burst of rich sweetness at the end. They use GF oats and cornmeal which makes for a really different, but really delicious waffle. I like mine best with Earth Balance and berries
on top. And who am I kidding...chocolate chips. How will you take your waffle this morning? If you want to try Nicole's Natural's yourself...enter the giveaway at the end of this post!
If you were sitting with me having coffee and waffles this morning, I'd probably talk your ear off about sleep training and granite countertops, cuz really that's all I've been thinking about lately. When did I get so old and boring?!
I also would tell you how OVER THE MOON excited I am that Cheerios are FINALLY going gluten free!! I've said for years that it would be an easy cereal to make gluten free and it looks like they are finally doing it! I might even have to take a break from waffles for a while to indulge in daily bowls of Cheerios. I've heard they will start selling them in July. Be prepared.
I would also probably talk about how I'm going to be in Hawaii a week from now! If Hawaii wasn't exciting enough, I get to meet my very new (like 2 weeks old) little niece while I'm there! Yep! I'm an auntie! I'm thrilled that my sister and I had our first babies so close together. It's going to be so fun for them to grow up together!
Well, I'm off on my long run...enjoy your coffee and waffles! Or Cheerios...I won't hate if you eat Cheerios instead.
how about you?
Would you rather eat waffles or cereal for breakfast?
If you won the giveaway for Pancake and Waffle mix - how would you top them?
Nicole's Naturals Waffle Mix GIVEAWAY!!!
1 lucky winner will receive...
Perfect for hosting your own waffle party!
You have until Monday (3/9) night to enter this giveaway! Enter below and tell your friends!

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 15% of the US population are smokers, about thirty-six million people. These individuals are at risk for serious dental issues attributed to smoking. Tobacco products limit your teeth ability to fight off infection. Thus the plaque and bacteria become more prevalent and cause problems such a losing teeth and irritated gums. Dental treatments are counteracted by the effects of smoking as the damage continues to mount.
Losing teeth is not their only problem. Smoking-related mouth cancer is on the rise. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, approximately 40,000 U.S. citizens are diagnosed with oral cancer resulting from smoking. Symptoms of oral cancer include a white or red patch in the mouth. The patient may have difficulty chewing or swallowing. Sometimes there is numbness in the jaw or ear pain. The National Institutes of Health recommends that anyone who is experiencing these symptoms should see their dentist for the appropriate referrals. Early detection is the key to a positive outcome.
If you are a smoker, before you face a serious diagnosis, this dentist can develop a treatment plan for your oral health including quitting all tobacco products. Click here to visit the dentist.

About Alec Ross
After graduating from Northwestern University, Ross started his career as a sixth-grade teacher with Teach for America in inner-city Baltimore. In 2000, he and three colleagues co-founded the nonprofit organization One Economy and grew it from modest origins in a basement into a global organization serving millions of low-income people, with programs on four continents.
During his time at the State Department, Ross led an effort to increase the diversity and level of problem-solving abilities in the foreign service. He managed a large-scale process for making the U.S. Department of State a more innovative institution. A 2012 study by Deloitte and the Partnership for Public Service scored the State Department as having the most innovation-friendly culture of any cabinet-level agency.
An advocate for Internet Freedom, he established a global Internet Freedom agenda that became the first distinctly 21st-century human rights agenda, deploying $100M in funds for cutting-edge projects that keep the internet open and help protect citizens and activists in authoritarian environments.
Understanding the growing importance of social media, Ross conceived a system of public diplomacy through social media that now reaches 15 million people a day. He is largely responsible for creating the system of using text messaging codes to donate to relief funds. Ross also served as Convener for the Technology, Media & Telecommunications Policy Committee on Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and served on the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team.
Ross was named one of the "Top 100 Global Thinkers" by Foreign Policy Magazine, as well as one of Huffington Post's "10 Game Changers in Politics." In 2010, he was named Middle East/North Africa Technology Person of the Year by the Union of Arab ICT organizations and also received the Department of State Distinguished Honor Award.
Ross has served as a guest lecturer at numerous institutions, including the United Nations, Harvard Law School, and the London School of Economics His writing has appeared in publications including the Johns Hopkins SAIS Review of International Affairs and the NATO Review.

text: SharePoint 2013 - Planet of the Apps - Now available Posted on 12/8/2012 @ 11:54 AM in #Books Authored by Sahil Malik | Feedback | 3254 views I am thrilled to announce the first bit of my many part series on SharePoint 2013. There are 17 more of these to follow, I will keep publishing them as time permits. The next one will be "Setting up your SP2013 Development Machine" – it will describe how to setup your SP2013 dev environment on a SINGLE MACHINE.Given what a memory piggie oink oink SP2013 is, there are plenty of tips in that work that I hope you will find useful. Presenting, SharePoint 2013 – Planet of the Apps The one book you need to get started with what is perhaps the biggest difference between SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013. This book covers the basics of Apps, the inside workings, Provider hosted apps, and Azure hosted apps. It talks of development experience and nuances of both on-premises Apps and Office 365 Apps. Note: This book does not cover anything about Office Client Apps. Purchase Options: Lulu.com $4.99, requires installation of Adobe Digital Editions (link to installation on target page). Also a preview of the book is available on the target page. Kindle Edition Print Edition Important Obligatory Note: I have no control on the purchase process. Lulu.com and Amazon are not something I control. As a result, I cannot offer things like refunds etc. Also I do not have any flexibility in offering any discounts on multiple format types. I also cannot offer free review versions because there is no such process built into these publishing sites. The only thing I can promise is good content, early in the cycle when you need it. I will continue to update the content, and if the underlying publishing platforms allow it, you will get those updates – again, I don't have any control on Amazon/Lulu etc. I am still looking into better ways to publish this content. Finally, I do feel that publishing tech books with plenty of code etc. are tough to do on Kindle. The formatting, no matter how hard you try, does get a little screwed up. If fidelity is important to you, I'd recommend the Lulu PDF version. Second Important Obligatory Note: Well I've been working my a55 off on this stuff. It is tough to write for a product that is still in Beta2, especially when there are parts that clearly won't RTM even after RTM (like the Azure Hosted Apps). But, I think I done the topic good justice. I intend to continue to revise this material and keep it up to date. Anyway, my dear friends, I do hope you like this book'let. Let me know how it is by leaving a review or sending me an email. THANK YOU!

The adage that cheaters never win proved true when Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim was suspended for nine games and had 108 wins vacated for NCAA rules violations, including academic fraud.
A lesser known adage, that fans who unfairly accuse innocent opposing basketball players of cheating tend to watch their teams get trounced, also proved true.
Syacuse.com reported that after being unfairly ridiculed with constant chanting of "Where's the cheater?" by fans of the Albertus Magnus High School varsity girls basketball players, Boeheim's daughter, Jamie, a freshman, entered the game and quickly quieted the bullies by knocking down an outside shot to help Jamesville-DeWitt High School's team to a 56-33 victory against the previously unbeaten and number-1 ranked school in the New York Class A semis.
"I just try and block out everything," Jamie said. "I'm a Boeheim so I'm expecting some, but I just ignore it."
Lohud.com reported that an apology for Albertus Magnus's lack of sportswoman-like behavior came quickly from the school's president/principal Joseph Troy.
Addressing the principal of Jamesville-DeWitt High School, Troy wrote:
On behalf of Albertus Magnus High School, I would like to offer a sincere apology to the Jamesville-DeWitt High School, the varsity basketball team – especially to Jamie Boeheim – for the inappropriate remarks at the end of the game by our high school students.
Our students violated our mission statement, which includes "showing respect for the dignity of each person." I'd be glad to meet with the student body to discuss appropriate behavior during sporting events.
Having been the president/principal for the past 20 years, I don't believe this is sentiment is the true indication of the Albertus Magnus High School community and what it represents.
I will be glad to send a copy of this formal apology to The Post-Standard newspaper in Syracuse.
Gasparini replied to Troy,
Thank you very much for the note. I have been an administrator for 20 years and know that students can get unnecessarily personal or rowdy when cheering.
I believe that the mark of a school's character is not that these things happen, but how the leaders of the school respond when they do happen. Albertus Magnus is obviously a school of high character.
I will share the note with our girls; they will appreciate the gesture.
Coach Boeheim denies involvement in the infractions that led to his punishment.

There are 35 muscles involved in the movement of the forearm and hand, with many of these involved in gripping activities. During gripping activities, "the muscles of the flexor mechanism in the hand and forearm create grip strength, while the extensors of the forearm stabilize the wrist. Many of the muscles in the hands actually originate above the elbow at the medial epicondyle (some flexors, pronator) and the lateral epicondyle (some extensors, supinator). And since these muscles cross the elbow joint, they also influence the joint. ("Wrist and joint anatomy" By Benjamin Z. Phillips MD,MPH)
For field players and goalkeepers strong hands are an asset when lifting heavy weight, whether it be a pulling or pushing lift. When your hands are strong you will see better results in the weight room because it transfers to better performance during pulls like deadlifts, rows, and pull-ups. A strong and balanced hand/lower arm unit will also provide better stability during lifts where the hands are pressing against the bar or dumbbells. For instance, when performing the Bench Press, Shoulder Press, Kettlebell Press, etc, you will better execute these lifts when your grip is strong because you will have better control over the equipment. But what about other lifts like the Back Squat? The hands are also capable of producing what is known as Radiant Tension. When you squeeze your hands, the tension begins to radiate inward toward the body. By doing this, you can actually increase the intensity of other contractions in the body. When performing Squats, you should apply appreciable tension to the bar by squeezing it prior to decent and continuing to apply this tension throughout each rep. By doing so, your upper body will remain more stable, and will allow you to Squat more weight. A strong grip is ideal at Williams Sport Training because our athletes generally deadlift, bench, and squat for repetition maxes.
Goalkeepers are constantly using their grip throughout a game or training. A stronger grip will ensure the goalkeeper's ball handling and distribution. When playing the position of goalkeeper you are expected to catch balls hit at high velocities without bobbling the ball. When a goalkeeper performs the windmill throw the ball sits on the fingertips and forearms, it needs to be stable prior to the throw. Strengthening the goalkeepers grip will enhance their performance tremendously.
WST incorporates grip training into all of our athletes routines to enhance their strength and performance, in the gym, and on the field.

Twin Chocolate Delights
from Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke
These are chocolately little gems ideal for chocolate connoisseurs. They are made with a 1 teaspoon scoop so they're tiny, but potent, and are perfect with a cup of coffee. And, due to their itty bitty size the recipe makes a zillion. I ended up with almost two hundred. Yup, that's hundred. Thankfully my friends and family like their chocolate!
Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival - and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honour of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac - a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show - sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth.Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. Turns out America's 'cooking sweetheart' is a bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp - and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins.Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. She's a baker without an oven - and the Carnival is right around the corner. Hannah's only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business - by finding the killer herself.

not a nice climate for pollution
Submitted by turbosprout on Fri, 2007-03-09 17:15
It's topped 36 deg. C in Cape Town today, with nary a breath of air. Driving to work this morning, there was a nasty brown haze spoiling the view in pretty much every direction, but was most apparent coming around hospital bend and looking down from the M3 over the harbour. Yak! Just as well we have the Kaapse Dokter blowing that vuilte away most of the time.
The roads are full of bicycles, not cyclists mind you, but plenty of sporty frames stuck on the back of 4x4's, Volvo's and BM's. Maybe the annual influx of Argus cyclists descending on the City also contributed to the air quality this morning. The irony's not lost on me either ;-)
Continuing on the pollution theme, a Texas-based study says pollution in Asia is altering global weather patterns by creating larger clouds and more intense storms. The study shows a definitive link between human activities and shifts in storm patterns that influence weather worldwide. The storms affect global air and heat circulation and may be linked to warming in polar regions. [National Geographic]
The IPCC Climate Change report was watered down according to David Wasdell, an independent analyst of climate change. He says the preliminary version produced in April 2006 contained many references to the potential for faster climate change because of "positive feedbacks", but these references were absent from the final version. His analysis can be viewed here.
Spiegel Online also ran a good feature on the impacts of climate change being more extensive than reported by the UN's IPCC report.

Anyone smell a plastic-gate scandal? We've been paying levies on plastic bags for close on four years during which the Department of Environment Affairs has been receiving R20 million a year to set up plastic buy-back centres across the country. According to Environmental Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk, "the [not for profit] company has established over 10 buy-back centres nationally".
4 years. R80 mil. 10 buy-back centres (anybody seen them?). Does not compute. Cost to the environment? [IOL]

rietvlei eco-disaster cleanup
Submitted by turbosprout on Tue, 2007-01-02 16:59
An estimated 60 tons of fish have been removed from the Rietvlei Wetland Reserve near Milnerton / Table View, Cape Town since Christmas, after dying as a result of a lack of oxygen in the water.
Acting reserve manager, Dalton Gibbs, says the quality of the water will be tested tomorrow and on Thursday and the reserve may be open by this weekend.
Gibbs said the samples would determine if there were any specific pollutants in the water that has caused the massive die-off, which started early on Christmas Day.
However, Gibbs suspected that it was a case of the vlei having reached a point where it could absorb no more of the high load of organic pollutants that flowed in from the storm water drains.

global electronics companies rated on their 'green' credentials
Submitted by turbosprout on Thu, 2006-09-14 15:37
Greenpeace recently ranked top electronics manufacturers on their use of toxic chemicals and their e-waste policies in their quarterly Green Electronics Guide.
The ranking criteria reflect the Toxic Tech campaign's two demands of electronics companies.
I was not too surprised that European company, Nokia was ranked at the top of the log. Albeit they still have some way to go in order to impress Greenpeace, clocking in at a rating of 7 on a nominal scale of 10.
Innovation and design leaders Apple failed to make the grade scoring a measely 2.7 and coming 11th out of 14 companies rated. So maybe owning an iPod is not so cool after all?

Snapshot of every AFC team's cap space and needs
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
March 5, 2013
Allow the Sun-Sentinel to provide a snapshot of every NFL team's cap space situation as of March 5, and position needs as we prepare to begin free agency. We'll start with the AFC teams since it is close to home. Keep in mind that every team's cap space is fluid based on renegotiated deals and players being signed or released. But it should help us distinguish the buyers from the sellers, and which team is looking for what entering next week's start of free agency, and April's 2013 NFL draft.
How much cap space do Heat actually have?
By Ira Winderman and South Florida Sun Sentinel
July 6, 2014
Q: Ira, what about Bird Rights? Can't Micky Arison spend and then bring back his stars above the cap? -- Sandor. A: No. When you use Bird Rights, you're not using cap space. Look, here's the simplest of math (to a degree oversimplified): A basic projection would have, using my best low-end guesses, LeBron James ($20 million), Chris Bosh ($16 million), Dwyane Wade ($13 million), Udonis Haslem ($2 million) and Shabazz Napier ($1 million) eating up $52 million (and you easily could argue more than that)
Miami Dolphins have $31 million in cap space on eve of free agency
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
March 11, 2013
The Miami Dolphins have a little over $31 million in cap space to spend on free agents and rookies based on the NFL's financial records. The salary cap in 2013 has been set at $123 million and the Dolphins spent plenty of the team's available space last week placing the franchise tag on defensive tackle Randy Starks, and re-signing receiver Brian Hartline and back up quarterback Matt Moore. However, Hartline's five-year, $30.775 million deal has a friendly cap hit of $2.115 million in the first year because of his $7 million signing bonus, and his $715,000 base salary.
Heat could create salary-cap space to make run at Carmelo
By Ira Winderman and Sun Sentinel
June 11, 2014
Amid widespread conjecture about the future of Carmelo Anthony and the possibility of the New York Knicks forward winding up as a teammate of LeBron James, an Eastern Conference executive told the Sun Sentinel that he would not be surprised to see Anthony leave New York. The executive said he was uncertain about Anthony's interest in remaining in what could be a rebuilding process in New York under the new regime headed by Phil Jackson, with neophyte coach Derek Fisher this week added to the mix. Anthony has the right to become a free agent this summer, or could remain with the Knicks for another season before his contract expires.
Crunching the Miami Dolphins' cap space in 2013
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
January 19, 2013
The Miami Dolphins brass has spent a year putting the franchise in position to make a big splash this offseason, rebuilding the roster. Heading into next week's Senior Bowl showcase for draft prospects General Manager Jeff Ireland has squirreled away $46 million in cap space, and currently possesses eight draft picks in 2013. Even though there are 20 free agents to deal with the decision makers will have every opportunity to retool this 7-9 roster this offseason. But exactly how much money does Ireland and Vice President of Football Operations Dawn Aponte, the team's capologist, have to work with?
Miami Dolphins have cap space in 2013, but plenty of holes
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
October 2, 2012
DAVIE - Too many Miami Dolphins fan are caught up on how much cap space the franchise will have after the 2012 season. But they forget that the roster will be gutted by free agents unless the Dolphins re-sign them. The Dolphins are projected to have $45-50 million in cap space this offseason. That figure will fluctuate for a while because nobody knows what the cap figure will be in 2013, what bonuses will be met, or how much carry over cap space the Dolphins will have in 2013.
Only two NFL teams have more cap space than Miami Dolphins
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
February 11, 2013
While most of the NFL is busy purging the roster, and working to restructure contracts to get under the projected salary cap, the Miami Dolphins are sitting on a significant amount of cap space heading into the start of free agency next month. As a result of some belt tightening that began last offseason the Dolphins presently have $82.5 million tied up in 47 contracts going into 2013, and $5.38 million in carryover space from last year's unused salary cap. That means if the NFL's salary cap is set at $122 million the Dolphins will have about $44.9 million in cap space to used on free agents they target, and rookies drafted and signed.

Sometimes it pays to be thrifty. That certainly appears to be the case for the Miami Dolphins and a number of NFL teams heading into 2012. The Dolphins have a $9 million salary cap surplus from 2011, money that could be carried over next season if it's not used to re-sign free agents or players approaching free agency like Cameron Wake, who will be paid $740,000 against the salary cap.

NFL cap space in 2009
Posted by Omar Kelly at 3:41 PM
February 11, 2009
It's been out there for some time now that the Miami Dolphins have roughly $24 million in cap space to work with when it comes time to restock the roster this offseason. Now, thanks to ProFootballTalk, we now have a clearer picture of where the rest of the NFL stands with the start of free agency approaching. Of course this will all chance based on what players get cut, renegotiated, or re-signed before Feb. 27th. But knowing where the starting line is for each NFL teams is helpful because it allows us to identify which teams need to purge to create salary cap space, and who will be the heavy-hitters come time to lure the Albert Haynesworths, Brandon Jacobs, Julius Peppers, Dunta Robinsons and Antonio Bryant's of the free agent pool.
Economy, Cap Could Alter 2010 Strategy
By Ira Winderman Staff Writer
July 9, 2009
The economic downturn could have the Miami Heat toning down its expectations for 2010 free agency. Currently in a holding pattern, with an eye on next summer's free-agent class, the Heat could be forced to alter its approach after the NBA issued a memo warning teams that the 2010-11 salary cap could tumble as low as $50.4 million. The league announced Tuesday night that the salary cap for this coming season has been set at $57.7 million, down from $58.68 million. However, with a considerable reduction in revenues anticipated, the NBA warned teams that the 2010-11 salary cap could fall somewhere between $50.4 million and $53.6 million.
A look at each NFL team's cap space heading into free agency

March 10, 2014
It is impossible to go shopping without money in the bank account in the NFL. This offseason plenty of teams have it because of the $10 million salary cap increase, which raised the salary cap to $133 million. When you factor in carry over from past years there are seven teams with more than $30 million this offseason, and only four franchises (New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Carolina Panthers) find themselves in cap hell, hemorrhaging to the point veterans still need to be cut just to sign the 2014 draft class.
Will Dolphins be NFL's high-bidder for left tackle free agents?
By Omar Kelly, Staff writer
March 5, 2014
The Miami Dolphins flirted heavily with free agent offensive tackle Branden Albert last year. Before the 2013 NFL Draft Miami put Albert through a physical, discussed the parameters on a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, which placed the franchise tag on the left tackle last year, and then selected offensive lineman Eric Fisher with the first overall pick. The Dolphins did everything but pull the trigger on a deal for the 2013 Pro Bowler, and the only thing that stopped them was Albert's sticker price.
Dolphins would create cap space unloading Jonathan Martin

It is universally understood that Jonathan Martin won't play for the Miami Dolphins again, no matter what the Ted Wells report reveals when it is finally released in the coming days. Dolphins owner Steve Ross has gone on the record saying he doesn't expect either player at the center of the NFL's investigation into the Dolphins locker room culture - Martin or Richie Incognito, who is a free agent - to play for his franchise again. According to league sources, Martin doesn't believe he can return to the Dolphins locker room.

Exclusivity drives American culture. It is ingrained in our societal DNA. The hottest clubs are the ones with the longest lines. Michael Jordan's brand is entering its third decade as the hottest basketball sneaker in the world because of how limited a release the majority of his sneakers are given. The thirst for re-issued Jordans explains why they regularly sell out in minutes, and reportedly generate more than $1 billion in annual sales. Whether it is expensive cars, exclusive watches or purses, we want things that are difficult to come by, and that happens to be what the Miami Dolphins are offering.

Former Broward standout Chris Gamble joins crowded free agent class
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
March 8, 2013
The hours leading up to the start of the NFL's free agent negotiating period has turned into bloodshed Friday. A number of NFL veterans are being released as their former teams labor to create more cap space for the spending spree that will officially begin on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Some of the players being released still have a couple of good seasons left in them. A perfect example of this is former Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble, a Broward product (Dilliard High), who has been an elite player for Carolina since becoming the team's 2004 first-round pick.

The Heat's offseason continues to emerge as one big exploding cigar. A meeting with Clippers power forward Lamar Odom ended Wednesday without an offer sheet being extended to the restricted free agent. Odom's agent, Jeff Schwartz, flew out of South Florida immediately after the meeting, with coach Pat Riley also on the verge of departing South Florida. Most likely, the parties involved will wait until the Clippers tend to pending offer sheets for guards Corey Maggette and Andre Miller, from Utah and Denver, respectively.

When it comes to how the Miami Heat's salary-cap space is going to shake out for the impending free-agency free-for-all that starts July 1, reserve center Joel Anthony will have an unlikely say in that process. The only member of this past season's roster with a player option other than star guard Dwyane Wade, Anthony has a June 24 opt-in deadline. If the team does not hear from him by then, he would become a free agent. While an Internet report over the weekend said Anthony already had decided to test free agency and bypass his opt-in, agent Michael Higgins said Monday no such decision has been reached.
Fact finding mission for Miami Dolphins offseason
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
March 6, 2013
At this point in the NFL offseason the B.S. (Business Side, I swear) is thick. It is usually hard to differentiate fact from fiction, smokescreen from reality, truth from lie. We're dealing with serious poker players, and sometimes a pump fake by an agent or team can cost a franchise or player millions. So we've got to be careful what's reported. Here's a list of things I'm pretty confident are facts. After placing the franchise tag on defensive tackle Randy Starks the Dolphins have $36 million to spend on free agents and draft picks this offseason.The Dolphins could create more cap room if they re-sign Starks to a multi-year deal before he signs the franchise tag. But the cap space is presently accounted for....
Snapshot of every AFC team's cap space and needs
By Omar Kelly and Sun Sentinel
March 5, 2013
Allow the Sun-Sentinel to provide a snapshot of every NFL team's cap space situation as of March 5, and position needs as we prepare to begin free agency. We'll start with the AFC teams since it is close to home. Keep in mind that every team's cap space is fluid based on renegotiated deals and players being signed or released. But it should help us distinguish the buyers from the sellers, and which team is looking for what entering next week's start of free agency, and April's 2013 NFL draft.

In the meantime a phone call this afternoon from the beersphere* was enough to warrant a cab to the West Riding in Juiceburg (Dewsbury) where what has been dubbed 'Son of Jaipur' was waiting. Although it's been about a while, Church End's Indian Summer Daze is the sort of mouthwatering IPA that Friday afternoon desk bound office jerks like me can usually only fantasize about. Of course with a hefty 7% abv every pisshead in town would be chasing a piece, so this was an occasion when scoop now ask questions later was the way to go.
Whilst not having the subtleties or complexities of the Thornbridge this was nevertheless a rocking beer with a stupendous hop character that admirably balanced the sweetness, producing a moreish slightly syrupy ale with a sudden and resounding bitter finish - exactly what was needed to banish those winter blues - or should that be blacks! Looks like happy days are back at last!!

Registered sex offenders are subjected to years of public embarrassment and scrutiny, but they aren't the only ones impacted by their crime. Their spouses and children suffer as well.
On HuffPost Live this week, Chris Hinton shared his story of discovering his father's secret and the impact it has had on his life. Hinton told HuffPost Live's Nancy Redd that the day he found out was "without a doubt" the worst day of his life. It all started with a phone call from his mother, who broke the news that his father was under investigation for molesting a child at the church where he served as part-time minister.
"With one phone call," Hinton said, "you have your father, your mentor, he was my minister at one point, my friend, role model, you have all that taken away."
Hinton's father pleaded guilty to eight counts of molestation and is now serving a 30-year minimum sentence in prison. Hinton told HuffPost Live that it has been 1 1/2 years since he first found out and that he's just now coming around to corresponding with his father occasionally through letters. Hinton says he also hopes to turn his family's tragedy into something positive by becoming an advocate for other families that are struggling to get their lives back together.

|Jason Harris
|United States Army
| Victoria "Vicki" Harris (daughter)
Linda Harris (ex-wife)
|Dominic Fumusa
|First Appearance
|"Spiraling Down"
|Last Appearance
|"Street Revenge"
Jason Harris is the father of a rape victim and also friends with Maria Grazie, Amaro's ex-wife.
Jason is a U.S. Army soldier. He is married to a woman named Linda and has a daughter named Vicki. He was deployed to Iraq, where he met and befriended fellow soldier Maria Grazie. When his tour was up, he signed up for another one, which greatly angered his family and caused Linda to think he was cheating on her. As a result, she filed for divorce.
On SVU
When Vicki calls him from New York, telling him she is sorry, she hears someone threatening her as she hangs up. Jason calls Maria on what to do and she tells him about her husband Nick Amaro's transfer to SVU. He rushes to New York to talk to Nick and tells him everything he knows about Vicki and Linda. Linda then shows up and they start arguing before Captain Cragen breaks them up. After they trace the phone used, Jason calls her and begs her to come home but Vicki hangs up, saying she made a mistake. When they find and arrest Vicki, Jason protests their decision but Cragen assures him it was just to get her out of the hotel room and talk to them. Jason says she will talk to him and Cragen advises that she isn't ready yet. They eventually manage to get her to turn on her pimp and arrest all her johns as Jason helps her through this. He is with her as Nick preps her for trial and says he is worried when the attorney of one of the johns, Jake Stanton, claims insanity while Nick reassures him. Jason hears Nicki testify in court and witnesses in sorrow as Stanton is found not guilty. It is unknown how he reacted when Stanton committed suicide. (SVU: "Spiraling Down")
Jason is later seen having lunch with Maria after her deployment is up. Nick visits him the next day; Jason tells him that his daughter is doing good recovering from what happened and Nick says that is good. After Nick reveals he knew about him meeting Maria, Jason tries to assure him nothing was going on but Nick punches him in the face and tells him to stay away from Maria. Jason later tells Maria about this and she is enraged. (SVU: "Street Revenge").

Antique Wine Coasters and Tasters
Coasters perform three functions. First, they prevent drips of wine from staining the table or its tablecloth. Second, they prevent decanters from touching one another and so from chipping. Third, decanters in coasters can be slid (coasted) from one person to another across a polished surface - indeed, in former times they were called decanters slides.
If these three reasons were not sufficient to justify their presence on a well-dressed dining table, then their usually elegant proportions and fine workmanship should do so!
English wine tasters are a considerable rarity, and in general they were made for use by wine merchants, rather than in a domestic context. Most are made of silver as that medium reflects light in dim light, and it is sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of commercial use. Tasters are recorded in glass and porcelain, which probably were for domestic use.

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development (SMSC) is about everything we do at Harpenden Academy, to help children build their own personal values, have positive relationships with others and become responsible young citizens in society. SMSC development supports children to be kind, thoughtful and caring and to be able to live and learn alongside people with different beliefs, cultures and lifestyles.
Our provision for pupils' Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural and Emotional development (SMSC), builds on our values of our education.
An important part of SMSC is to support children to engage with British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and respect for different faiths and beliefs.
Spiritual Development
We want children to be reflective about their own beliefs, but also show interest and respect for the beliefs and faiths of others. We encourage children to reflect, not just on their own behaviour and the choices they make, but also on the skills needed to remain calm and focused on their learning.
Spiritual development is also about supporting children to be creative, imaginative and reflect on their learning experiences.
Opportunities for Spiritual development include:
· Learning together to value the ideas and contributions of all children.
· Providing a varied and exciting curriculum that inspires children and makes learning enjoyable.
· Coming together in assemblies and special events to share learning with each other and with parents and the community to reflect on our learning experiences.
Moral Development
Opportunities for Moral development include:
· Children working together to discuss and agree on what they need to do to create a safe, friendly and inclusive environment for learning.
· Opportunities in the curriculum for children to offer their own points of view and to be able to listen to and value those of others.
· In every classroom and throughout the school environment, children are encouraged to make positive behaviour choices and develop strategies to manage conflicts effectively.
Social Development
We have developed our P.O.W.E.R an innovative whole school approach. This explicitly teaches children the social and relational skills needed to learn effectively in a diverse community. (See 'The Curriculum')
Opportunities for Social development include:
· P.O.W.E.R across the curriculum and whole school skill focuses.
· Making a positive contribution to the community through fund raising, volunteering and engagement in community projects.
· Supporting children to develop the skills needed for living in a democracy through activities such as elections for School Council.
Cultural Development
Our WOW weeks and creative curriculum allow the children the opportunity to learn all about different lifestyles, backgrounds and beliefs other children have.
Opportunities for Cultural development include:
· Providing opportunities in the curriculum for children to visit places of worship and share their beliefs with others.
· Enabling children to enjoy and appreciate a variety of artistic, musical and cultural experiences, including drama, music, singing, choir and sports

Beren Academy lost 46-42 to Abilene Christian in the championship Saturday night.
Beren's semifinal originally was set for Friday night. Beren students say their faith prohibits participation between sunset Friday and sunset Saturday.
The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, or TAPPS, had initially rejected Beren Academy's requests to reschedule. But several parents filed an injunction seeking to force TAPPS to reschedule the semifinal. TAPPS relented and changed the time to Friday afternoon.
Beren Rabbi Harry Sinoff said the school "just thought it was right for us to play. It was good for basketball."
Although the team lost Saturday night's state championship game, the team received a warm welcome home Sunday and the community congratulated them on all they accomplished.

We Are About Relationships
My son Tate is going through confirmation this year, and I am enjoying walking through this experience with him as a parent. This past Saturday, I went with him and ten other confirmands and their mentors to serve dinner and join in worship at Sixty-first Avenue United Methodist Church. (By the way, these eleven confirmands made up about half of our confirmation class. We have a total of twenty-four!)
Sixty-first Avenue UMC is located in north Nashville, about a mile from Riverbend prison, where our congregation is deeply involved in ministry. It is an industrial neighborhood, with a lot of folks living close to or below the poverty line. The church is a beacon of light and hope in that neighborhood, offering after-school tutoring, an extensive "Last-Minute Toy Store" at Christmas time, and lots of other ministries that offer food, shelter, clothing and love to folks in the neighborhood.
On Saturday evenings, the congregation serves a free meal to anyone who wants to come. Then they gather for Bible study before going into worship at 6:00. Our confirmation class prepared and served the meal this past Saturday, and then joined the congregation for Bible study and worship. As I leaned in and listened to the Bible study, I saw something else that that congregation offers to their neighbors: loving community.
Pastor Paul Slentz led the Bible study, and he invited us to read Romans 6 together. (Take a moment right now, if you'd like, and read it to yourself. It's not long.) He then asked the question, "What are some things we might need to 'die to' in our lives, in order to follow Christ? What things might we need to turn away from?" The first person who responded said, "Drugs." Wow. I was inspired by her openness and vulnerability.
And I realized right then that this was a safe, loving and honest community, not just for the folks in the neighborhood but for all of us. This was a community where we could name out loud, in the company of other imperfect people, our deepest struggles and brokenness. This congregation was modeling for all of us–especially our young sixth-graders–how to be a loving forgiving community and how to rely on God for everything.
As you know, this is the season of Lent. We are entering the third week of our journey toward the cross, this journey of examination of our own souls. If you're like me, you've come across a few things in your life that are broken, a few places where you need healing and redemption and forgiveness. My prayer is that we can all find people within this congregation who can hear our brokenness and love us through it. Maybe it's a Lenten Small Group. Maybe it's a Sunday School class, or the Men's Dialogue Group. Maybe it's just a special friend that you have coffee with. But this journey of Lent is one that we are called to walk together. May we find ways to offer loving community to one another during this season and always.

Hastings: Ole's Miss impresses in Boulevard Casino victory
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Ole's Miss made the kind of sweeping move to win the $50,000 Boulevard Casino Stakes not seen very often at Hastings, especially by a 2-year-old filly.
Actually, the way the race unfolded on Sunday, it seemed like it was being run on turf. There were five horses in the field, and Ole's Miss was biding her time at the back of the pack while the other four were bunched up in front of her. Hey Didjanotis and Architecture were never more than a head apart while posting extremely slow fractions of 23.97 and 47.94 seconds in the 6 1/2-furlong race. Battling Brook and Flatter You were sitting just behind them while trying not to run them over. Ole's Miss looked like she had no chance when she was still almost four lengths behind after a half-mile.
When Scott Williams asked her to run, though, she took off. In just a few strides, she was in full flight while going four wide around the stretch turn. She collared Architecture soon after entering the stretch and drew off to win by 1 1/4 lengths.
"I thought she was a racehorse going into the race, and she exceeded my expectations," trainer Tracy McCarthy said. "To come from dead last and to win drawing away like that was pretty impressive."
Ole's Miss was a maiden going into the Boulevard Casino, but she had shown McCarthy enough in her 3 1/2-furlong debut to give her a shot in the Boulevard Casino.
"She ran a big race, considering she finished third," McCarthy said. "She got bothered early in the race, but she came back at them and finished full of run. We thought she would be better going a bit farther, and it turns out we were right."
McCarthy liked the style in which Ole's Miss ran the race.
"I think everyone is a bit speed crazy now, and they are always sending, sending, sending, and we are ending up with a lot of one-dimensional horses," McCarthy said. "We told Scotty to just play the break. When she didn't break that sharply, he rode her perfectly and let her settle in behind the other horses. Now, we know she can run from anywhere."
Williams was impressed with Ole's Miss. He picked up the mount when Enrique Gonzalez, who was aboard for her debut, opted to ride Architecture. The main reason for Gonzalez riding Architecture is that she is a British Columbia-bred and has a lot more opportunities in front of her at Hastings this year, including the $50,000 B.C. Cup Debutante on Aug. 5.
Williams was pretty impressive himself. At 23, he is still learning his trade and was very patient when Ole's Miss didn't show a lot of speed leaving the starting gate.
"After she didn't break that sharply, I didn't want to get into a panic," Williams said. "I felt like I had lots of horse, and as soon as I moved my hands she starting rolling. She really pulled me up there on my own. A year ago, I might have chased them."
It was the second stakes win in two weeks for Williams. He won the Chris Loseth for 3-year-olds aboard Shooting Jacket on July 1. The race was named for former local jockey Loseth, who was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1997. Loseth is married to McCarthy and plays a major role in her barn. According to Williams, Loseth has been a positive influence in his life.
"Chris rode with my father [Danny Williams], and I've known him all my life," Williams said. "He's always been very supportive and has helped point me in the right directions. It was pretty special when I won the Loseth. Chris and Tracy have really welcomed me with open arms when I came here to ride full time this year."
McCarthy not only likes the way Williams rides but also the way he conducts himself.
"He's a great kid," McCarthy said. "He loves racing, but even more so he loves horses. He knows all the horses he rides in my barn by their barn name, and he comes over every day and gives them hugs."
McCarthy isn't sure when Ole's Miss is going to run next. There isn't a race for her at Hastings until the $75,000 Fantasy on closing day Oct. 14, so McCarthy is considering shipping her to Northlands for the $50,000 Bird of Pay on Aug. 24.
"We're going to wait and see how she is with the virus going around before we do anything," McCarthy said. "We have had a lot of bad luck shipping to Northlands, so if we go to Edmonton we'll just show up the day before the race, run her, and come home."
Despite the slow interior fractions, Ole's Miss posted a faster time for the 6 1/2 furlongs – 1:18.40 – than Deviance did in the $50,000 New Westminster (1:18.96) on the same day.
Deviance, a 2-year-old gelding Bob and John, edged Three Way Trade by a neck and reportedly came out of the race in good shape.
Both horses are trained by Troy Taylor, who said Deviance will be pointed to the $50,000 B.C. Cup Nursery on Aug. 5.
Three Way Trade, an Illinois-bred, is a maiden and will likely show up in a maiden special weight race soon.
Hastings management said it would attempt to make up Saturday's lost day later in the meet.

I thought Brightwater was very nice. The rooms were very nice. I had a very good friend who was a patient there one time after his heart surgery. They had a larger and more skilled care. They were known for having very good medical care. I thought the staff was excellent. I had dinner there a couple of times, and they had excellent meals. The place was very clean and well-kept. They had a very large and excellent exercise room and a nice pool.

Brightwater was the first facility I went to and was not really impressed. The staff who accommodated me took me to someone else's room, which I thought he should have not done due to privacy. The room I saw was nice and higher class. He mainly talked about finances, and I could not afford it. People were just on their own. Overall, the place was nice but didn't seem family-oriented at all.
