Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant & Marina owner Alan Moore said the commission's decision to move forward a zoning request to a second reading will save his restaurant.
But members of the Longboat Key Town Commission have doubts their approval will save one of Longboat Key's oldest waterfront restaurants.
At its Monday, Dec. 7 regular meeting, the commission voted 4-3 to move forward plans for a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a zoning request that would change the land the eatery sits on at 800 Broadway from a commercial-zoned property to residential.
Moore said his 43-year-old business would shut down unless the commission approved the request, because, without it, he said he couldn't get the bank to renegotiate double-digit-interest-rate business loans that are due in January.
"Economic conditions and the changing character of the north end of Longboat Key have created a significant financial burden on the owners of the property," states Moore in his application.
Peter Dailey, the hired agent for Moore's property, told the commission that the rezoning of the property from commercial to residential would allow the owners to continue to operate the restaurant while having a sound financial-exit strategy in place, in case the business is no longer financially viable.
But some commissioners said Moore's finances should not be the basis for granting the zoning request. The Planning and Zoning Board did not recommend the request be moved forward to the commission, mainly for the same reason.
"The Planning and Zoning Board disagreed violently with staff's recommendation," said Commissioner George Spoll, who said he believes the change in zoning will bring an end to the restaurant.
Commissioner Jim Brown agreed.
"If we vote for this, I think the restaurant will change overnight, and I don't think Alan can keep it together," Brown said.
Commissioners Hal Lenobel and Peter O'Connor strongly disagreed.
"We represent the people and their well-being is in our hands," said Lenobel, whose comments were met with applause from the 20 Village residents and business owners who supported Moore at the hearing.
O'Connor noted that all planning has an economic component and reminded his fellow commissioners that The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation-and-expansion project is being proposed based on its economic impact to the community.
Commissioners Spoll, Brown and Mayor Lee Rothenberg voted against the Comprehensive Plan amendment and zoning request. Commissioners Lenobel, O'Connor, Gene Jaleski and Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann voted in favor of the request.
Moore expressed relief that four of the seven commissioners voted to grant the request and told the commission he has no plans to close his restaurant.
"We are putting a lot of money into the restaurant," Moore said. "We're not going anywhere because this is our livelihood."
But Rothenberg questioned Moore's statement.
"What the commission did last night was double the value of Mr. Moore's land, where a restaurant sits that's not doing well financially and will not get better anytime soon during a recession," Rothenberg said. "My guess is we will be swapping a historic waterfront restaurant on this island for two McMansions in the very near future."

Americans get a billion colds a year, by some estimates, and there are more than 200 viruses that can cause them. In a worst-case scenario, a cold can send you to the hospital with pneumonia, an ear infection, or an asthma attack. Millions get the influenza virus each year, and about 200,000 people develop complications so severe they have to be hospitalized, while nearly 36,000 people die from it. Those over-the-counter cold and flu medicines are iffy at best and don't always work. Luckily, you can ward off winter misery with immunity-boosting foods you already have right at your fingertips.

Wiktionary:About Hebrew
This is a Wiktionary policy, guideline or common practices page. This is a draft under discussion. | |
Policies: CFI - ELE - BLOCK - REDIR - BOTS - QUOTE - DELETE - NPOV - AXX |
- Hebrew transliterations (that is, romanizations) are not words. Hebrew entries should only be written in the Hebrew script.
- The headword line of an entry should include romanization, using the tr= parameter of the headword-line template.
- When linking under certain circumstances to a Hebrew entry, include romanization, using the tr= or equivalent parameter of the link template (such as
). This is to be done, for example, for a translation (in an English entry) but not, for example, for an inflected form listed on a headword line. - If a romanization is missing, it may be requested using
{{rfscript|romanization of Hebrew}}
, which adds the entry to Category:Hebrew terms lacking transliteration. - The letters are romanized as follows (in general. In some cases it might be necessary to use a romanization that is based not on Modern Israeli Hebrew but on another form).
letter romanization notes א '

- The position of the stress should be indicated using an acute accent on the main vowel of the stressed (or only) syllable (
To be decided[edit]
- Where to use k'tiv khaser and where to use k'tiv maleh (e.g. for diber, where דבר, and where דיבר).
- Where to supply vowel signs.
- Whether roots warrant separate treatment from the words formed from them, and if so, what this treatment should include.
- How to supply conjugations of verbs, declensions of nouns and adjectives, and pronoun-including forms of prepositions.
Please discuss on the talk-page (Wiktionary talk:About Hebrew)!
Dialects and languages[edit]
The standard on English Wiktionary is to treat all of Hebrew as one language, including Biblical, Mishnaic, and Modern Hebrew. All have the same categories, all have the same ==Language== headers, etc. The only exception is in Etymology sections, where to indicate derivation from Biblical Hebrew one can use {{etyl|hbo}}
, and to indicate derivation from Modern Israeli Hebrew one can use {{etyl|he-IL}}
In Pronunciation sections, a Modern Israeli pronunciation can be indicated by the use of {{a|IL}}
Odd binyanim[edit]
The binyan nitpa'el is to be treated as part of the binyan hitpa'el. For the past tense (which is where they differ in form), whichever is more common is to be written as a full entry, and the less common as an entry using {{alternative form of}}
. But if the less common one has meanings different from those of the more common one, or if both are equally common, then both should be given full entries.
Binyan pilpel is considered merely a mishkal of pi'el.
The community's decision was to exclude most constructions that are simply one or more proclitics plus a base word; וּבָנוֹת (uvanót), for example, is considered to be covered by the entries for וְ־ (v'-) and בָּנוֹת (banót).

Scooter Chapman
Forget the World Series, folks. Friday's high school game in Port Angeles has created more interest on the Olympic Peninsula than baseball's biggest event.
The Sequim-Port Angeles gridiron contest has become bigger then the Super Bowl, Kentucky Derby, Rose Bowl and BCS Championship Game combined.


text: The College provides the Independent Major for those students whose academic interests do not match the course requirements of existing majors. A student may design an independent major and submit a detailed written proposal to the Independent Study Committee. The proposal must be prepared with the aid of one or two advisors who write letters of support and agree to assume responsibility for the duration of the program. The program must include a balance of lower and upper level courses normally totaling one third or more of the total credit hours required for graduation. In many cases, independent majors take their courses from two or more departments. In this case, students are asked to have two advisors, from different departments. Many independent major proposals include courses taken abroad or in other institutions. In such cases, the applicant should check with Off-Campus Studies to make sure that the proposed program will be approved before submitting the independent major proposal. Approval of the independent major does not imply approval of the off-campus study portion. An independent major should be a coherent program of study with a specific focus, rather than simply a haphazard choice of courses. The driving principle of a major should be discussed in the written proposal. If the college offers a minor in the subject, the courses required for the minor should be taken as a starting point for a major. To ensure depth, the student is required to engage in a synthesizing research project during the senior year, normally in the form of an independent study.The Independent Major Proposal should: 1. Offer a strong and coherent argument for the Independent Major and for why working within an established Major will not fulfill the student's academic goals. 2. Be clear and substantive in scope (coursework including one or more in methods, integration of disciplines, senior project) and implementation. 3. Be thoughtful, well written, and demonstrate in all particulars (grammar, sentence and paragraph structure, logical development) that the student is qualified to undertake the rigors of Independent Study. Applicants are encouraged to submit preliminary applications to the Independent Study Committee Chair with a copy to the Secretary in order for committee members with relevant expertise to provide help in planning the applications. It should include the proposed title, a short statement of goals, a tentative list of courses, and a tentative topic for a senior project. Independent majors must be approved by the end of a student's sixth semester at Colby. The Independent Study Committee has set the 30th day of classes of each semester as the target date for independent major proposals. Proposals received after that date must wait until the following semester to be considered. Students pursuing independent majors should keep in touch with the committee, which must be notified about any changes in their program; substantial changes, or a change of advisor, must be approved by the committee. Independent majors may receive a distinction in their major upon graduating if they have an overall GPA of at least 3.5. Inquiries about independent majors and preliminary applications should be directed to:

Quoted: Lana Del Rey Says Fame Is Getting In the Way of Songwriting
"I dont think [fame has] been conducive to writing, being on the road and all that. I dont really feel inspired to write at all, but beforehand, when I was in Brooklyn for nine years I was kind of a night owl and just walked around and met weird people. That was me picking up life experiences and meshing them into my own. That really did it for me...I really feel like I need six months to live again, time to be like, normal or abnormal. I dont have anyone writing anything for me. Its such an internal well and if its not full, its just not full."Lana Del Rey {Radio} |

- Cisco Systems (CSCO) says it has started a bribery related investigation into its operations in Russia and neighboring countries at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice.
- CSCO disclosed the probes in a Feb. 20 SEC filing, which said the company or its resellers may have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
- CSCO does not believe the results will have a material effect on its finances.

- Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) hold a combined $124B in U.S. Treasurys and a further $39B in other government debt, the U.K.'s Bureau of Investigative Journalism calculates.
- The tech giants appear to hold much U.S. debt offshore, which enables them to earn tax-free interest. Repatriating the assets would saddle them with a huge tax bill.
- Unsurprisingly, Senator Carl Levin is not happy. "If a U.S. multinational puts its offshore cash into a U.S. bank and uses the money to buy U.S. Treasurys, stocks and bonds, those funds ought to be treated as having been repatriated and subject to US tax."

- Cisco (CSCO) is packaging various software/services offerings found in its ONE software-defined networking (SDN) platform (previous) into four suites that can be individually licensed, and which are meant for different use cases.
- "We have a bunch of products. We'll turn those products into licenses – a data center suite, a WAN suite, an access suite – for the enterprise," says sales chief Rob Lloyd.
- Central to these efforts is Cisco's APIC SDN controller, unveiled last November along with several other products from its Insieme unit, and promising superior app/network visibility relative to alternatives.
- Cisco's likely goals, in addition to simplifying its pricing: 1) To head off a slew of SDN rivals - none larger than VMware/Nicira - hoping to sell enterprises on programmable networks capable of running on commodity (read: non-Cisco) gear. 3) To further drive a mix shift towards software at a time when hardware margins are seeing a bit of pressure.

Thursday, Feb 277:07 PM
- With enterprise server sales under pressure and the cheap white-label servers used by the Googles and Amazons of the world gaining more ground, IDC estimates global server revenue fell 4.4% Y/Y in Q4, a decline steeper than Q3's 3.7%. Gartner estimates revenue fell 4.5%.
- IDC thinks market leader H-P (HPQ), which posted relatively healthy enterprise hardware numbers for its January quarter, saw its share rise 260 bps Y/Y to 26.9%. #2 IBM, whose hardware ops had a brutal Q4, saw its share drop 910 bps to 26.8% in what's typically a seasonally strong quarter for the company.
- #3 Dell is assigned a 14.5% share (+30 bps). #4 Cisco (CSCO), whose UCS server unit remains a bright spot, is given a 4.5% share (+130 bps). Following many quarters of share losses, engineered systems growth allowed #5 Oracle's (ORCL) share rose 10 bps to 4.1%.
- White-label server sales, referred to by IDC as ODM Direct, soared 47% Y/Y, and now make up 6.4% of industry revenue. "Density-optimized" server sales, which include white-label gear and OEM offerings, soared 70%. H-P has a 34.9% share.
- A positive for Intel (INTC): x86 server sales rose 7.8%, up from Q3's 2.8% clip. A positive for Red Hat (RHT): Linux server sales rose 14.4% vs. 5.6% in Q3, and now make up 28.5% of industry revenue. Windows server sales (45.7% of revenue) were nearly flat, Unix sales (13.6% of revenue) fell 20.2%.

- Cisco Systems (CSCO) has raised $8B in the largest corporate-bond sale so far this year and the biggest for investment-grade notes since Verizon sold $49B worth of debt in September.
- Cisco plans to use the money to finance stock buybacks and dividends, and to repay $3.75B of notes that mature this year.
- Cisco sold debt in seven parts with fixed- and floating-rate securities, with yields ranging from 1.1% to 3.625%.
- Moody's rates Cisco at A1 and S&P at AA-.
- While Cisco "hasn't had smooth sailing from the equity perspective," says money manager Thomas Chow, "there's overwhelming demand...for well-known issuers with strong fundamentals." Cisco "has a large cash balance and a dominant position in product lines that aren't going to disappear overnight," Chow adds. (PR)

- Cisco (CSCO -0.1%) has filed a shelf registration for a debt offering whose proceeds the company plans to use to pay down $3.75B in debt maturing this year, and to finance its dividend (recently hiked) and buyback program (expanded by $15B in November).
- Reuters reports Cisco is raising at least $7B. The networking giant is said to be offering floating rate notes with three maturities (18-month, 3-year, and 5-year), and fixed-rate notes with four maturities (3-year, 5-year-, 7-year, and 10-year). Informa's Ken Jacques states $17B worth of orders have been placed.
- With demand for blue-chip corporate debt remaining strong, interest rates are bound to be low. Reuters states Cisco's 3-year fixed notes is set to carry only a 45bps premium to comparable Treasurys, and its 10-year fixed notes only a 105 bps premium.
- Cisco had $47.1B in cash/investments as of Jan. 25 (much of it offshore), and $17.1B in debt.

Thursday, Feb 1311:28 AM
- With a fair amount of bad news priced in, Cisco (CSCO -4.3%) hasn't caught any downgrades after providing soft order data to go with an FQ2 beat, dividend hike, and in-line guidance, and has only seen one PT change - MKM has cut its target to $20 from $24.
- Some analysts are a little worried about Cisco's margins. Though FQ2's gross margin (61.3%) was in-line with a 61%-62% guidance range, Goldman states it was below a 61.9% consensus. The firm also points out product GM (hurt by declining sales) fell 210 bps Y/Y.
- CFO Frank Calderoni mentioned on the CC (transcript) FQ2 price pressure was at the high end of Cisco's historical range. Goldman sees margins rebounding in 2H14 as volumes recover, but is also keeping an eye on whether "discounting pressure mounts as large cloud customers become a larger percentage of the mix."
- John Chambers defends his company in part by asserting Cisco's enterprise deal pipeline is up over 20%, and its pipeline of $1M+ enterprise deals is up 30%. A pickup in signings of "architectural" deals covering a diverse array of products is said to be responsible.
- Cisco's enterprise orders fell 2% Y/Y in FQ2, a more moderate drop than the 12% decline seen in carrier orders.

Wednesday, Feb 125:29 PM
- Cisco (CSCO) guides on its CC for FQ3 EPS of $0.47-$0.49, in-line with a $0.46 consensus. The company also reiterates FY14 EPS guidance of $1.95-$2.05 (consensus is at $1.98).
- However, the networking giant adds its orders fell 4% Y/Y for the second quarter in a row. The main culprits: Switch orders fell 6%, router orders 5%, and (thanks to plunging set-top sales) service provider video orders 20%.
- Switch sales (39% of product revenue) fell 12% Y/Y in FQ2, and router sales (21% of product revenue) fell 11%. SP video fell 22%, and collaboration (videoconferencing, WebEx) 7%; the latter could be a negative for Polycom (PLCM).
- Data center (UCS server) revenue only rose 10% after growing 44% in FQ1. However, Cisco asserts orders growth was in the mid-30s range. Wireless (dominated by Wi-Fi), another growth area in recent quarters, fell 4%. Aruba (ARUN) -2% AH in response.
- Americas orders -5%, EMEA -2%, Asia-Pac -5%. Enterprise -2%, SMBs and public sector +1% each.
- CSCO now -3.8% AH.

- Cisco (CSCO) doesn't waste time on its CC to announce it's guiding for FQ3 revenue to drop 6%-8% Y/Y, in-line with a 7.1% consensus.
- John Chambers mentions emerging markets orders only fell 3% Y/Y in FQ2, after dropping 12% in FQ1. However, service provider orders fell 12% after falling 13% in FQ2; that figure likely suggests additional share loss.
- Shares have sold off in response to the remarks.
- FQ2 results, details/dividend hike
Wednesday, Feb 124:44 PM| Comment! -
Wednesday, Feb 124:29 PM
- Cisco (CSCO) uses its FQ2 report to announce a $0.02/share increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.19/share. Shares now sport a 3.3% yield.
- Cisco, which added $15B to its buyback three months ago, also says it bought back $4B worth of shares (over 3% of outstanding shares) in FQ2 at an average price of $21.73. $2B was spent on buybacks in FQ1, and $1.2B in FQ4.
- Product revenue (drives future services revenue) fell 11% Y/Y to $8.4B Services revenue rose 3% to $2.7B and contributed to the revenue beat.
- Gross margin was 61.3%, -100 bps but in-line with guidance of 61%-62%. Job cuts led opex to fall 6% Y/Y to $4.28B.
- CSCO -0.4% AH. CC at 4:30PM ET, guidance should be provided.

Wednesday, Feb 1212:45 PM
- With shares having badly underperformed the Nasdaq since August due to earnings disappointments (I, II), expectations for Cisco (CSCO +0.4%) are fairly low going into today's FQ2 report. Thanks to emerging markets, set-top, and carrier router weakness, analysts collectively forecast Cisco will see an 8.8% Y/Y revenue drop in FQ2, and a 7.1% drop in FQ3.
- Stifel's checks indicate Juniper (JNPR - Q4 service provider sales +12% Y/Y) is taking carrier router share from Cisco. The firm is also worried many Cisco customers are holding off on data center switch purchases as they evaluate its new Insieme/ACI SDN platform.
- Insieme has received a mixed early reception, with some praising its innovative (software-driven) feature set and others deeming too costly/complex relative to SDN/networking virtualization alternatives that can leverage commodity hardware. VMware's (VMW) NSX platform is arguably its biggest rival on this front.
- Though admitting Cisco faces a slew of near-term challenges, Cantor remains upbeat about the potential of new products, including Insieme/ACI and Cisco's NCS carrier routers, to provide a lift in FY15 (ends July '15).
- UBS, while reiterating a Buy, thinks a long-term battle for data center supremacy is getting underway between Cisco and VMware, one whose outcome is far from certain.

- Less than two weeks after announcing a patent cross-licensing deal with Samsung, Google (GOOG) says it has reached one with Cisco (CSCO). Terms are undisclosed. (PR)
- Both Google and Cisco have directly and indirectly targeted in a number of high-profile IP suits, and each has argued in favor of patent law reform aimed at reducing the number of suits filed by patent trolls. In their PR, the companies at least give the impression their cross-licensing deal is focused on avoiding litigation rather than monetizing IP.
- Google is fresh off reaching a deal to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo, a move that reduces (but doesn't eliminate) its hardware-related patent exposure. Google is holding onto the "vast majority" of Motorola's patents.
Tuesday, Feb 49:31 AM| Comment! -
Monday, Jan 272:57 PM
- A month after announcing it will invest up to $4B in Ontario over the next ten years, Cisco (CSCO -0.7%) says it will directly and indirectly invest up to $1.35B in Mexico.
- The spending will be tied in large part to the expansion of product sourcing in Mexico via contract manufacturers, and the development of a local support center. Though Cisco only has 600 employees in Mexico, manufacturing partners have over 5,800 dedicated to making Cisco hardware.
- Back in August, Cisco announced it's cutting 4K jobs (5.5% of its workforce) globally.
- Meanwhile, JPMorgan's Rod Hall, who has downgraded shares to Underweight, says he's worried about emerging markets weakness, along with delays in switch purchases caused by the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN).
- Cisco saw a 12% Y/Y drop in emerging markets orders in its Oct. quarter (thanks in part to NSA-fueled China weakness), and John Chambers stated last month emerging markets remain "extremely challenged," even as the U.S. shows signs of improvement.
- SDN growth is viewed as a long-term threat to Cisco, but major enterprise uptake isn't expected before 2015, and major carrier uptake could take longer still.

What is the first month of the year?
* = Required Fields
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (BP) -- At age 15, Ronnie Hicks visited Glendale Baptist Church for the first time. As Hicks walked out the door, pastor Richard Oldham sensed God telling him, "I want to use this young man." So Oldham told Hicks that God's hand was on him.
Hicks didn't know what to make of the pastor's words that day in Bowling Green, Ky. But three years later he felt God calling him to preach and committed his life to vocational ministry, with Oldham serving as his mentor through college at Bowling Green's Western Kentucky University. Forty years later, Hicks retired from a career of serving as pastor of Southern Baptist churches and it was clear that Oldham's sense of God's will had been correct.
Hicks is not alone in that experience. During Oldham's 56 years as pastor of Glendale, more than 250 young people have surrendered their lives to fulltime Christian service -- with their pastor mentoring them all. Often he helped them recognize their callings by saying, "God's hand is on you."
Today, Oldham's protégés, who call themselves "Swordsmen," occupy pulpits across the Southern Baptist Convention and have served as state convention presidents, SBC Executive Committee members, trustees of SBC entities and leaders in many other capacities. For more than 50 years, the Swordsmen gathered each summer in conjunction with the SBC annual meeting.
"His legacy is not a megachurch," said Mike Routt, a Swordsman who pastors Circle Drive Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., and is the SBC Executive Committee current vice chairman. "But more than 250 people have surrendered to ministry under his leadership. If all of those 250 people and their families were back at Glendale, he would have one of the largest churches in America. But his legacy is not there at Glendale Baptist Church. His legacy is at churches and preaching points across America and around the world."
Nurturing the young
Oldham was called to Glendale on July 21, 1957. Initially he told the pastor search committee he wasn't interested. But they called a second time and said the church was in a business session and would not adjourn until he agreed to pray further about coming. That prayer led to a move from Lansing, Mich., where he was pastoring, to western Kentucky.
Five decades later, at age 83, Oldham hasn't felt God call him into retirement. Though he has difficulty breathing because of a lung condition called pulmonary fibrosis, he still preaches, performs funerals and makes hospital visits as he is able -- and of course spends time with college and high school students.
In the past two years, four new Swordsmen have surrendered to vocational ministry.
"I met with some [young people] last night until 11 o'clock," Oldham told Baptist Press in an interview earlier this year.
From day one at Glendale, he felt called to spend much of his time with younger people in the church. Often he can be found in a local restaurant surrounded by an entire section of students, and on Sunday nights he produces a local radio program called "Teentime" on which his young disciples preach, sing and give their testimonies. In 51 years of Teentime, Oldham has never preached on the program himself.
"One time in a deacons meeting one of our deacons brought up that the pastor is spending too much time with young people," Oldham said. "And he thought the deacons ought to correct me. I had to say to them, 'Men, if you don't want your pastor to spend time with young people, you need to get a different pastor because God's called me to do that.'"
Asked how the deacons reacted, Oldham replied, "They didn't fire me."
As he spends time with young men and women, Oldham says a key to guiding so many into ministry is exposing them to outstanding preachers. For previous generations, that meant hosting at Glendale men like Vance Havner, R.G. Lee, J. Harold Smith, Angel Martinez, Jerry Falwell and W.A. Criswell. Lee, longtime pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn., preached his famous sermon "Payday Someday" five times at Glendale, with people saved each time.
More recently Oldham has hosted SBC leaders like R. Albert Mohler Jr., Hershael York and Richard Land.
"When these men come, I get our young people to spend time with them," Oldham said. "They go out and eat with them. I purposely had these men come to expose our young people to greatness."
Gift of singleness
A unique facet of Oldham's ministry is his lifelong singleness. He had girlfriends early in life and was even engaged once. But shortly after arriving at Glendale, he realized the ministry to which God had called him was too time-consuming to take on a wife and children.
"The Lord seemed to say, 'It's OK. I'll take care of you,'" he said of his singleness. "And He has."
Though a few young women vied for his attention over the years, Oldham has always held himself to a strict code of conduct with women and never faced any accusations of impropriety.
Once, a woman he had counseled in the church office called at 2 a.m., insisting that she needed to see him immediately. He told her she was not welcome at his house at that hour and that he would call the police if she came. She was welcome, however, to schedule an appointment at the church office the next day, he said. She never came to the office.
"I've tried my best to walk circumspectly and not give opportunity for questions," he said.
He only allows women to ride in his car in emergencies, and then only in the backseat. He also tries to have someone else present when he counsels a woman.
During his ministry Oldham has baptized more than 6,000 people. Many of them went on to be Swordsmen.
"If you only knew some of the students who came to Western Kentucky University without Christ and left to go to seminary, the pulpits of America and the mission fields of the world," said Hollie Miller, a Swordsman, former Tennessee Baptist Convention president and pastor of Sevier Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville. "Truly amazing."
Routt is among those won to Christ under Oldham. As a freshman at Western Kentucky, "God was very far from my thoughts," Routt said. But he began attending Glendale and fell under conviction from the Holy Spirit through Oldham's preaching and the personal witness of Oldham's nephew Roger "Sing" Oldham, another Swordsman who serves today as vice president for convention communications and relations at the SBC Executive Committee.
"The very night that I became a Christian was the night that I surrendered to fulltime vocational ministry," Routt said. "... On that night my freshman year at Western I walked the aisle and gave my life to Christ and surrendered to vocational ministry."
Bill Ricketts, a Swordsman, former Georgia Baptist Convention president and pastor of Prince Avenue Baptist Church in Bogart, Ga., said he still uses witnessing methods he learned from Oldham.
"The first time I ever learned about sharing the Gospel was with Richard Oldham, and he taught me the old Romans Road," Ricketts said of the Gospel presentation drawn from the New Testament's Book of Romans. "I still use that from time to time to share the Gospel with people. So even to this day there are things that he taught me that I value, that I treasure."
Dark times
Naturally, 56 years of ministry have brought difficult moments. One of the most dramatic occurred in the early 1990s when during a sermon Oldham realized that the choir behind him was leaving. Soon the congregation began leaving too and he heard a voice from the balcony: "Don't move. It's just going to take one shot."
A gunman was perched in the balcony with his weapon aimed at Oldham. Because of sunlight shining through a stained glass window, Oldham couldn't see the man. But he responded, "Whoever you are, you're not going to take a shot. This is God's house. Let's pray." Oldham began to pray and a deacon talked the man into surrendering his gun before the police arrived.
Other difficult times came when beloved staff members died or moved to new ministry assignments.
"We've had outstanding people that were with us," he said. "When they left, it broke my heart."
A vast network
Yet the difficult times pale in comparison to God's blessings over the decades, Oldham says, including service as Kentucky Baptist Convention pastors' conference president and preacher of the KBC convention sermon several times. One of the greatest blessings, though, is seeing God use his Swordsmen, Oldham said.
"I really cannot imagine anyone, other than my parents, who has influenced my life for Christ as much as Richard Oldham," Miller said. "I came to Glendale Baptist Church as a college freshman and my life has never been the same. Bro. Richard is a powerful preacher, an amazing mentor and the most passionate personal witness I've ever known."
As Ricketts traveled in Central America earlier this year, he was reminded how far Oldham's influence extends. At an orphanage in rural Honduras, he noticed a Western Kentucky University mug on a table. When he asked about it, the orphanage director's wife said that's where her husband attended college. Ricketts mentioned Oldham and learned the director had been saved and baptized under Oldham's ministry.
"I thought to myself ..., 'Could we ever know the extent of this man's ministry?'" Ricketts said. "I just marvel at it."

How do I know when...
...I'm ready to shoot a wedding?
I've been asked twice in the last 2 weeks...I'd really like to shoot as a second to get experience. Does anyone ever feel ready for the first one? Reminds me of a song from A Chorus Line..." then we did it again and i forgot to be scared"

Re: How do I know when...
It really has as much to do with your personality as anything.
You have to A. Have decent enough gear, B. Have a decent knowledge/comfortability with basics like exposure and composition, and C. have a personality that allows you to go with the flow, recognize important moments and interactions and also direct people when needed. I was talked into my first wedding. I did it for free and at the time of agreeing to it all I had was a 30D/kit lens and 430 and a 100 Macro. By the time the wedding came, I'd read a lot, and picked up another camera and some other stuff, but honestly I could have done a decent job with what I had. The people were ecstatic and I booked several more. You should be nervous. If you're not nervous at all, you're probably not taking it seriously enough and if you're too nervous you might not have the stomach for this work. |

Re: How do I know when...
My first wedding was horrible. REALLY horrible. Mainly because I didn't know how to use my dSLR well enough yet (I had it only for a couple months)
The three important things you need to know. 1. Have decent gear 2. Know how to use your gear 3. Have a good eye Wedding photography requires experience. It's a shoot you cannot re-do. |

Re: How do I know when...
You know, I thought I was ready for my first wedding. I'd been shooting for a while, had all the basic gear I needed (2 cameras, 4 lenses, 2 flashes, lots of batteries, lots of cards), I had insurance, I had a lawyer write up contracts, etc. I was set!
Yeah... not so much. My first wedding? Extremely religious ceremony... in Spanish. I had neither the right clothing (I was required to wear a skirt/dress as per the religion) nor was I told the wedding would be in Spanish. I was told about the clothing ahead of time and was able to run out and get something, but it was an expense I wasn't expecting. And then the ceremony started and I had no clue what was happening! I'd been to weddings and knew how ceremonies went but since this one was a religion I was not familiar with I was completely lost. It turned out great (the pictures anyway), but, yeah. SO wasn't ready for that! But had it been a normal ceremony in a normal church? So would have been ready! |

Re: How do I know when...
When you're ready to be humbled by your limitations. It doesn't matter how many L lenses you have or how many great landscapes or family/friend photos you have or how many people tell you you're a great photographer and you can do it. weddings are a totally new game. Don't let this turn you off having a go, all accomplished wedding photographers started from the same place.
PS Don't accept any money or very little for your first ?? many weddings.

Re: How do I know when...
Only you will know!
My first wedding, I was asked by my wife's neice to shoot her wedding. I thought I did a pretty good job with excuses as to why I shouldn't shoot it but she really wanted me to, so I did! My experience! I missed the entire wedding ... in that, for the entire day, the only part I enjoyed was when I sat down and had dinner with my wife and family and even then, I was totally focused on what the Bride, Groom and wedding party were doing. It was a GREAT experience being the photographer at a wedding in that ALL else was not even a part of the day and I was TOTALLY focused on getting the best shots of any and all that was going on. Even got shots of my son and daughter-in-law dancing and don't even remember shooting them. My wife recently told me that I am not allowed to shoot any more family or friends weddings because her day kinda sucked being there alone. I REALLY like doing weddings but you really need to be committed to your "job" at hand. You are NOT a guest, you are part of the working crew of the wedding ... same as the caterer, band or anyone else involved with providing their services for the event. I was in my own world that day as well as the other weddings I have done. So far, I guess I have done alright! Everyone likes what I have shot ... My wifes neice's house looks like a photo gallery of my wedding photos of her wedding! EDIT: Be forewarned ... If you do a wedding, KNOW what you are in for! Check out the church or whereever the ceremony is held,talk with the minister of the persone performing the ceremony. Check out the reception hall and talk to the people running the reception well ahead of time. I was a second shooter for a wedding my nephew was shooting. He did not check ahead and when we arrived at the church, the Priest told us, minutes before the bride walked down the aisle, "NO flash photos in the church!". My nephew went into panic mode. I calmed him down, got out my faster lenses and got the shots inside the pretty dark church. He's out of the wedding photo stuff now!

Re: How do I know when...
I wasn't "ready" but a friend's photographer bailed out the day before, I had a film camera, 30 rolls of film, and said, "sure!" when they asked if I could fill in last minute.
If you're wanting to make money, you have to be WAYYYYY more prepared. But if you're shooting for a friend who won't have anything better and you aren't charging money, go for it. |

Re: How do I know when...
I'm ready to be the last-minute fill-in guy...who without, the couple would get nothing. If I could survive that experience with photos that I was proud of, I'd know I'd be comfortable doing it for real.

Re: How do I know when...
I was ready...but I still made a few dumb mistakes and was genuinely surprised by how quickly things go.
I was nervous and as snakeman55 said; I took it as a good sign that I wasn't complacent. If you can drive your camera, have a backup system, and manage the expectations of the 'client' (irrespective of whether you're getting paid or not) you will do OK. Just this week there's been threads asking "should I use AF-Servo at a wedding this weekend?" and "can I recover images if I did a full shoot without a CF card?"...IMO these people aren't ready, but again, provided they managed expectations, there shouldn't be too much fallout and they will learn valuable lessons for next time. My best advice for a first timer is GO AND ASSESS THE VENUE BEFORE THE DAY. |

Re: How do I know when...
Scared of what Please... it's easy !! Wedding photography is easier than anything else in the world, everyone can do it. Even if you have your first DSLR you should try, go for it, wedding photography is easy and not require any work. It's fun
After few years as a main/first photographer I'm scared to death before every single wedding, no matter if this is a beach ceremony for 1 hour or wedding for 300 people. I'm always going thru all my "checklists" I'm always trying to be double ready for every single situation.... It is a huge responsibility, and soon as you realize how big responsibility it is, it means you ready to work as a main/first photographer. I'm always scared, I always talk to my wife about what should I take care of first, talk about game plan, talk about settings, etc, etc...... Soon as you realize how big responsibility and powers is in your hands you can start planning your first wedding as a first photographer.... and never try to play smart ass and the guy who knows everything and is best photographer in the world.... #1 rule: Respect your customers thats the only way to gain their trust.... without trust you don't have customers.... GOOD LUCK to all new first/main photographer! have a good Histogram !

Re: How do I know when...
I'd say you're ready as soon as you're confident that you're not going to mess up.
Shooting as a second would be helpful first would be helpful. |

Re: How do I know when...
I got good news...the second wedding that I was asked about isn't until a year from now.
That's plenty of time to take advantage of learning opportunities by shooting second. I'm going to sit down with the bride to learn about her expectations...and if she wants something closer to budget than fairy tale, I'll probably make the leap.

"Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn't be as good as he is today."
"At the WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on the indies is as good as NXT guys. I'd LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks "good wrestling" is."
"Right. I think he, and I'm not inside his head, but for whatever reason I hear from a lot of guys that he has a little chip on his shoulder about certain guys. I think, it's one of those things where he always wanted guys to be on their defenses around him and I never really was because I was really comfortable there, especially when I got WWE agents that were putting me over to him, members of creative and stuff like that. So I was always comfortable because I knew I had all these people that were putting me over to him, so I think he kind of didn't like that. I don't know him personally. I haven't talked to him more than this interview backstage kind of thing, but I always got the feeling that he was upset about how un-nervous or how comfortable I was there and not like a yes sir, no sir kind of thing. It's his prerogative or whatever. He was in charge. So, for whatever reason it was, he just never, he always kind of had a chip on his shoulder towards me."
