text: It seems fairly easy to see Rove's strategy in all of this (and yes, I fully believe Rove is at the bottom of it). This is about the '08 elections, plain and simple. Without the involvement of the Justice Department, the Republicans cannot win. That, plus the irregularities of our wonderful voting machines, make's me certain our friend Carl feels he's just about wrapped up his '100 year plan' with just a tiny bump in the road in '06. This is much, much bigger than Gonzo. It's about the foundation of our democracy: fair elections.

It's depressing to think about leaving here if Admiral Nash resigns. This has easily been one of the most exciting episodes of my life, vying with recollections of the Vietnam War nearly forty years ago. I don't kid myself that I'm still the soldier I was outside Hu' during Tet '68. When I decided to go to Iraq, it wasn't because I harbored any ambition of reliving a lost youth. I just wanted to help win the war, and I knew I'd fit in. Most people predisposed to serve in a war zone have some military connection and tend to be optimists. Fortunately, I haven't met a defeatist here yet, so when I compare Iraq with Vietnam, I'm very selective about what I say to avoid giving the wrong impression.
It's possible a couple of things I've done in just a month have made a difference and may deserve recording in the family archives. Near midnight on December 8, I was called by a reporter stationed in Baghdad who had heard that Ambassador Bremer was planning to visit the 101st Airborne Division the next day. I didn't know about this, because travel plans of the CPA administrator are closely held for security reasons: there is supposed to be a price on his head. I gave the news of the security lapse to Lieutenant Colonel Chuck Durr of the Army secretary's office, who scolded me for discussing classified information on the cell phone. I reminded him that I learned of the trip from a reporter, which meant that a lot of other people must know, too. Chuck got the message and called the security people, who immediately canceled the trip. The next day there was a suicide bombing at a 101st Airborne Division location, feeding the fear that Bremer's helicopter might have been attacked, too, as he arrived. All this is a little far-fetched, but may be true and certainly makes an interesting story. Regardless, I was the main topic of conversation at headquarters for a day, all because of a telephone call from a friendly reporter.
It's not my job to work on issues unrelated to construction, but when a reporter from my old Pentagon network calls, I answer. Usually I can add something to the story, engaging sympathetic contacts within CPA headquarters willing to share information, so long as I protect the source.
I think Dan Senor knows what I'm doing, too. I respect his position as White House commissar and try hard not to step on his toes even if I don't obey all the team rules. The only rule I routinely violate is that all interviews be on background; I talk on the record. Admiral Nash and I share the view that we are spending the taxpayers' money, and everything we do should be transparent. So far, no one has complained, but I wonder if someone isn't suspicious. Last week I was told that I'd be getting an assistant from Strat Comm, so maybe they're catching on.
The assistant did arrive, in the form of the impressive, 240-pound Steve Susens. There's no question of his competence or sense of humor. The story he tells is that he was brought over by Thatcher, but when he arrived Thatcher said he wasn't needed after all. Rather than send him home, they assigned him to me. If he's a spy, he's now my spy. I couldn't get along without him. Steve is thirty-eight and has been around the block a few times. Like me, he has a knack for networking.
Thursday, January 1, 2004.
For the past ten days I put off adding to this journal, waiting to see what happens to the admiral. Nash may be light on ego, but he's heavy on character. Of course he resented that his program was being gutted without his being consulted. He was not insulted personally, but professionally he had turf to defend. Nash had expressed his astonishment to Bremer's top deputy in the Pentagon, Reuben Jeffrey, on December 16.
'Reuben, I am deeply disappointed in the latest turn of events that I was informed about 11:00 pm last night … . We now have the smallest program to implement and the way this is lining up, we may not need a PMO or me. Reuben, all those who are participating in this debate over the last few weeks have essentially disassembled my approach completely and I personally feel that we are setting ourselves up for failure.'

You may have heard of Argo, Ben Affleck's new movie out next weekend. It's the story of how six American diplomats were smuggled out of Iran by the CIA in 1979 after the embassy was taken hostage — by pretending to be part of a Canadian film crew making a science fiction movie. You can read about what happened in a 2007 Wired article.
To fake the movie-making, the CIA used a script for an unmade film version of Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light.As Wired reports, the movie's previous producer had
hired Jack Kirby, the famous comic book artist who cocreated X-Men, to do concept drawings. Along the way, Geller imagined a Colorado theme park based on Kirby's set designs that would be called Science Fiction Land
That's where concept sketches came from that were used to bolster the rescue story.
You can view the Kirby art at LordOfLight.com, a site selling prints and still interested in making the movie. The Jack Kirby Collector (issue #52) ran a reprinted article about the art and the plot with more reproductions.
Judd Ehrlich wants to make a movie about the tortured history of Science Fiction Land, and he's launched a website and a Kickstarter to fund it. The team has been working on the movie since 2000, but now, with all the attention to this history, they've seized this moment to get the final funding and finish the film. Find out more about that effort's history in this EW.com article.
[…] up with the idea of creating a fake production company making a science fiction movie (based on Jack Kirby art, although it's redrawn for this movie) and saying the six were staffers on a location […]

Chocolate Ganache
I've been making dairy-free, vegan chocolate ganache for years and didn't think about sharing it here until recently. The recipe is as simple as can be with only two ingredients –dark chocolate and coconut milk.
Traditional chocolate ganache is generally made with chocolate and heavy cream, however, my version is dairy-free and vegan, using coconut milk in place of the heavy cream. I haven't tried making this with other types of dairy-free milk so I'm not sure if that will work. If you do find a substitute, please stop back by and let us know about it!
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2.5 ounces chocolate chunks
- Combine coconut milk and chocolate in a small saucepan
- Heat over very low heat
- Stir until melted
- Remove from heat
- Drizzle over ice cream, brownies or cake
Makes 1/3 cup ganache
I love using this vegan Chocolate Ganache on baked goods; when cooled it firms up and hardens into a chocolate shell type topping. The boys and their friends love this ganache drizzled over brownies. With caramel sauce. But that's another story, or recipe, which I'll be posting next week, so stay tuned.
Here are some of my dessert recipes on which to drizzle this chocolate ganache:
Awesome thanks!!
Do you have a simple recipe for a plain vanilla ice cream? -
YUM!!! Thanks Elana!!!
Is the coconut milk straight from the can or is it the stuff the is on the top when the canned coconut milk is refrigerated?
Which coconut milk do you use? I assume you mean the canned coconut milk used for Thai cooking. If so, do you use the full fat or the light version?
is this made with a chocolate bar like a lindt or dagoba or just plain unsweetened chocolate bar like you bake with??
Thank you Elana for this simple and yummy recipe!
I will make it with Dagoba baking chocolate. I will sweeten it to my taste with some powdered xylitol.
Thanks Elaine, but what about the
Coconut milk…? -
Delicious! I love chocolate ganache made with coconutmilk! I make this all the time… didn't know it had such a fancy name ;-) But you're right! It does taste like regular ganache! I make mine with a tsp sunflower seed lecithin to keep it from separating, which happens rather quikly with the brand of coconut-milk I use… so that might be a helpful tip to some of you who want a smoother texture too :-)
We make this kind of ganache waaaaay too often :) A spoonful or two all by itself is a pretty common dessert for us.
I haven't tried this yet….would it be possibly to turn this ganache into truffles? Perhaps add some orange essence?
I have only ever made dairy truffles but can no longer eat them, and would love an alternate for Christmas .-
I live in the UK, over here we get coconut cream and coconut milk. I've made chocolate truffles using coconut cream, they turn out great. I recon if you allow a can of coconut milk to separate in the fridge and then use the coconut cream from the top this should give you the best results. I add a some coconut fat to mine too, it makes them smoother and they stay firm for longer out of the fridge. A little vanilla is nice too.
Experiment and enjoy – its difficult to go far wrong and you can always eat the experiments ;-)
In terms of whether other kinds of nut milks will work, I use almond milk and it works great!
I love using coconut milk in place of cream. This looks delectable!
This looks really delicious. I love all things chocolate so I am sure I would enjoy this too.
I like how using coconut milk as a cream substitute still leaves the ganache with a thick and rich texture.
I have tried substituting cream with almond milk, but it turned out far too thin and it didn't really end up tasting like a ganache.
I can't wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I've used almond milk and even water. I think any liquid will do. If you increase the liquid, the final product stays softer. Increase the chocolate, and it stays more firm. I've used a bag of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of almond milk and a teaspoon of vanilla, microwaved in small increments just till smooth as a layer of ganache in a bar cookie recipe. It comes out gooey and soft – like using sweetened condensed milk in the old days!
Hi Elana,
I have made this ganache with almond milk and it's delicious- works great! Love your blog…..I used to read your recipes before discovering my gluten intolerance- who knew!!! Thank you Thank you!! -
To all who use almond milk,coconut milk and water as subs-please write which chocolate u use also because the ingrediants and different brands vary-and therefore have in impact on the way it all turns out….
Recently I've been thinking about good old childhood trips to Dairy Queen. So I have been wanting to find a nice (healthy version) of hard shell chocolate to pour over some dairy-free ice cream, this sounds like it might just work perfect!!
Excellent! I've used this delicious recipe over 10 times! It is a MUST to try this!
My son was just diagnosed with severe lactose intolerance. Today, I start my journey trying to find good recipes and explore a new way of cooking. I found your website first. I an excited to try this recipe however the link for chocolate say it is not dairy free. Is this recipe dairy free? Thank you SO much.
What is coconut milk fat? How does it come? Where do I find it? I want to make your Paleo brownies. Where do I find vanilla stevia? Only powdered stevia is at whole foods.
Made the ganache yesterday to frost brownies, also your recipe. My daughter was having a chocolate emergency… The brownie/ganache combo was perfect!
Thank you for your recipes, love them. And thanks to your boys for their tough job of recipe testers. ;)
In addition to gluten intolerance and RA, I also have diabetes, so I am very strict with sugar. To that end, I use Chocoperfection dark chocolate in the ganache recipe. It was perfect! I purchase Chocoperfection online, directly from the maker.
To the commenter asking about coconut milk fat, I use canned coconut milk, the same brand that Elana linked to in her blog post. When the can sits undisturbed for some time, the fat rises to the top, separating out of the milk. Refrigerating the can may speed this process up. Open the can with a can opener, and scoop the fat right off the top. The remaining fat and milk may be mixed together again in a blender or by hand, and is great in recipes, in coffee, tea, etc.

In the slightly retrograde sexual politics, Salter seems like an emissary from another time, bearing messages across the decades about the constants—love, loss, ego, attraction, sex, adultery, and the cycling nature of all of the above—that impel his characters through their lives. And he is unparalleled in his ability to capture things like: the joy of beginning a love affair or the sad tawdriness of unwinding one; the satisfaction of finding something that feels right, even if it's not quite what you'd had in mind; and the power of our minds to see things as we'd wish them to be. Here's Salter describing Bowman's love of his young wife: "He loved her for not only what she was but what she might be, the idea that she might be otherwise did not occur to him or did not matter. Why would it occur? When you love you see a future according to your dreams."
In the end, this book, like much of Salter's work, reveals itself in the way small incidents and items—a meal, a night swimming in the ocean, a first sexual encounter, a pair of muddy boots in the back of a truck—accrue to something larger. He once wrote of the idea behind haiku, "Large things evoked by small," a characterization that applies equally to the genius of his own prose. Another line from our lunch—this one ended a discussion about the tension between loving to read and making time to write—alluded to this focus on small things rendered truly, believable actions and the grist of real life. "Well, there's no answer to all that," he said. "We're just talking about what it is, what it's like being in the water. It's wet, and can be cold."
When Bowman's mother is dying, he thinks of what's left of her life and what's gone before. "What had been her life, the people she knew and the deep pool of memory and knowing, had vanished or dried up and fallen apart." Writing is about preserving that "deep pool," which is filled up, drop by drop, with the ordinary moments that comprise a life.
There is ample rumination in All That Is on aging and death—the novel in fact closes with a scene at a funeral—and it would be tempting to parse that subject in light of the author's advancing years. But it's not a new theme: a preoccupation with time and its passage, with decay, with small decisions that ripple down through decades and alter lives, has been in Salter's work from the start. And it would be unseemly to be so morbid in the face of a book, and a man, so full of life and vigor.
"We are all poor in the end," Salter wrote in his 1997 memoir, Burning the Days. "The lines have been spoken. The stage is empty and bare. Before that, however, is the performance."
I think back often to my lunch with Salter, which was a performance in its own right, in both his robust enjoyment of the food ("Oh my is that good," he'd exclaim, mid-bite. "Isn't that fantastic?") and his command of a conversation that ranged over the breadth of his life and much of mine. He was incisive, gracious, humble beyond reason, and relentlessly curious. At one point, after he'd been questioning me for ten minutes, I tried to steer us back to him, but not without protest. "This is more interesting, actually," he said, "but ok. Go ahead."
Our lunch ran long and when he realized the time he apologized and prepared to leave. I said something about what an honor it was to have lunch with him. "Oh please," he said, brushing off the flattery. "It was a pleasure, it really was." As I rose with him and moved towards the door, he turned and asked me, in a tone like a person addressing a slow child, "You're not planning on walking me out, are you?"
And with that, he put on his black parka and walked through the revolving door into the gray afternoon and was gone, merged back into the city of his birth.

e-con Systems - an embedded design services company specializing in development of advanced camera solutions and services has announced its camera adapter board ,e-CAMNT_35x_GSTIX, to support analog camera interface for Gumstix Overo COMs.
e-con's adapter board can be used as a plug-n- play to interface NTSC/PAL camera and along with the adapter daughter card, e-con also provides drivers for Linux. The adapter board supports S-Video IN and CVBS IN.
The adapter card is for customers providing solutions for surveillance, endoscopy, low light camera applications and other customers who use CCD cameras which support analog interface.
Customers with Gumstix Overo COMs can directly plug in their analog cameras to the e-CAMNT_35x_GSTIX as the camera board directly plugs in to the 27 pin connector of the Gumstix Overo COMs.
On the back-end side, the e-CAMNT_35x_GSTIX converts the analog signals to digital and generates a YUV output that is fed into the OMAP35x/DM37x ISP interface based on whether the customer is using Gumstix Overo COM and Gumstix Overo Storm COMs.
e-con provides Linux drivers with full source code and sample applications for accessing the video frames, capture still images and record video.
"The e-CAMNT_35x_GSTIX is aimed at allowing our customers to interface the analog video sources such as NTSC/PAL cameras, analog thermal cameras, analog surveillance cameras, and other NTSC/PAL compatible video sources on OMAP35x/DM37x based Computer-on-Modules from Gumstix," said Ashok Babu, President, e-con Systems.
Customers interested in customizing the e-CAMNT_35x_GSTIX can approach e-con Systems. The adapter board is now available for purchase from the company website.
e-CAM is e-con's reference design featuring a camera board with a camera module interfaced to a processor on its high speed CMOS interface.

Five Tips For Avoiding Real Estate Scam Artists In Miami-Dade County
The Miami-Dade County Short Sales gang |
It's incredible what people are willing to believe when they want to play real life Monopoly. So we've got five tips for you folks out there who want to drop thousands of dollars on get-rich-quick real estate deals:
5. Use Google Earth for crissakes!
Had any of the victims bothered to search 27871 S. Dixie Highway -- the purported address to Miami-Dade County Short Sales, the bogus company set up by the thieves to conduct the fraudulent scheme -- they would have found a 20-year-old barber shop inside a nondescript shopping center in Naranja.
4. Casinos are for degenerate gamblers, not real estate professionals.
According to the indictment, Garcia found one of her victims after befriending his chauffeur, whom she met while gambling at the Miccosukee casino, where prosecutors allege the scam gang spent most of the money they stole.
3. Fast food restaurant parking lots are ideal for copping dime bags, but not for closing on a house.
In the parking lot of a Wendy's on Oct. 2, 2009, one of the victims, Martha Martinez, handed over two checks totaling $15,757 to an unknown male who had been sent by Garcia. The funds were supposed to be used to buy a house in West Miami. Martinez gave Garcia approximately $60,000 for three different properties.
2. If you get a refund from the scammer, take your money and run!
During a face-to-face meeting one day in May of 2010, Martinez was able to get back $28,000 from Garcia after months of waiting for the non existent property sales to go through. The refund was short-lived. Instead of sending the scam artist packing, the victim hung out with Garcia for a few more hours. After once again convincing Martinez the transactions were legitimate, Garcia left with the $28,000 plus an additional $5,000.
1. The Miami-Dade County Clerk's website is your friend.
Before laying out any cash for an investment property in our sunny place for shady people, pay an online visit to the clerk's web-site. A cursory search on the criminal case database would have informed the victims about Garcia's prior convictions for insurance fraud and fraudulently obtaining someone else's income tax return refund. Young has been convicted for running scams too, including the sale of fake collector coins at jacked up prices. Plus, you can also verify if there are any liens or pending foreclosures on a property you're intending to purchase.

Changes for 2013
Changes 2013
We have made some slight changes to our website and what services we provide. We thoroughly enjoy working with figure skaters through out the world on getting them the best boots, blades and supplies to keep them skating at their best. Sales in our online pro shop have been very dismal since we were forced to close down our daily rink operations. At least for the time being we are suspending the pro shop part of our business. We will still help skaters upon request but with the lack of sales being so low we can not put the time into keep the pro shop current. If you're looking for something specific feel free to contact us.
As many of you know we shut down our daily rink operations in 2011. Charles started to have some issues from his Multiple Sclerosis and was unable to run the day to day operation of the rink. Since that time we have been doing private rentals and special events. We would love to be in a position where we can offer skating on a regular basis again. If you have any ideas please don't hesitate to let us know. We are always trying to find a good fit so that we can offer skating again here in the Grand Valley.
New Year Means New Options for Skaters
As 2012 comes in full swing it also means new options for todays skaters. Some of the most notable changes come from Jackson. In Jackson's boot line DJ3700 and DJ 3802 for advanced skaters have been changed for advanced skaters. Jackson has rereleased these boots as DJ3900 and DJ3902 as their top of the line boots. Their have some slight price changes on boots but most stayed about the same.
Jackson's Blades options have had the most changed. One of the biggest changes have been in the ultra light blade UB70. That model has been removed and replaced by the Matrix Legacy MX7050 and like most of the Matrix blade lines these blades are available in colors (lilac, blue, pink, and silver).
We now carry nearly 40 blade options from MK, JW, Paramount, Eclipse and Jackson. To see our complete line of blade options from beginning skater through Senior check out our blade store.
Have questions about which blade to look at with so many options contact us! We'd love to go over the options with you. We aren't just a Pro Shop we're skaters and coaches too.
Future of On Edge Skating
As many of you are aware back in August we closed down our synthetic rink. As we have written on the blog Charles is a MS patient and we felt the need to go to those steps after he started showing signs of his MS worsening. When he got to a point where he could no longer walk unassisted some hard decisions had to be made. This along with low skate numbers in the late summer brought us to the decision to close the synthetic rink.
The Online Pro Shop has not closed. We are still here taking orders same as always. No changes have been made to our Pro Shop. You can still make orders, get sized for boots, and get blades sharpened and get other maintenance handled. We are only a phone call away.
Many of you have been calling….. We get anywhere between 5-10 calls a week from folks wanting to know how things are going, what our plans are for the rink and most of all when we will be offering skating again. We both have really appreciated all the calls and voices of support.
We ended our lease off of the I-70 Business Loop in Grand Junction location. So while Charles is not back to where he wants to be or doing what he wants to do he has taken notice to these calls and we are putting some "feeler's" out to see what our options may be for possibly bringing Skate Green back to the valley.
We are looking at possible locations, partnering with other established businesses, and the possibility of working with a partner. We just wanted to let everyone know what we were doing and where things were at as of right now. If you have any questions at all please feel free to call us.
Until something can be figure out for a permanent rink we are renting out our surface for private rentals and special events. We are hoping to have more news on a permanent rink solution in the coming months. For more information don't hesitate to contact us
Rink Closed
Rink Closed
As many of you know our synthetic ice rink has been closed the past couple weeks. The past few months have been extremely stressful with things going on outside of the rink. This stress has lead to a MS (multiple sclerosis) flare up. Due to health reasons we have chosen to close the rink at OES so that we can devote our attention to this issue. We hope that this closure will just be a temporary speed bump in the road.
We will try our best to keep everyone updated but if you have any questions don't hesitate to email us. During our closure we will be available by email. We feel that it is necessary to devote all our attention elsewhere at this time. Our programs including Learn to Skate will also be closed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding.
Midway Through Summer
I can't believe we are already midway through summer. It never ceased to amaze me how winter in Colorado seems to drag on and on but summer always fly by. Summer at any rink seems to always bring a slow down. Fewer people on sessions because everyone is our doing "summer things". Going to the pool, soccer, things like that. Only the die hards think of let's skate. Going into this summer we really didn't know what to expect. Would we follow these same trends as the average refrigerated rinks do with the summer slow down? No surprise to me we have but at least it is expected.
Since things have slowed down some we have been able to concentrate more on the future and start planning for late Summer and Fall. When things pick back up a little.
One of the first things we undertook was getting things set back up with our Learn to Skate program. Our next Semester of learn to skate will run from the week of Aug 2nd through the week of Sept. 10th. We will be offering classes for both of our skating departments ( figure skating & hockey) for youth and adults. Whether you are interested in figure skating or hockey our group lesson program will lay the foundation for you skating success. We hope you will join us for these classes.
We are stilling working on sessions and programs for hockey skaters. Some of the areas we are exploring are stick time sessions, camps and learn to play leagues for both youth and adult players. If you're a local player and have ideas on what we could offer email us. We would love to get some feed back from you.

How Rooster Teeth Won the Internet With Red vs. Blue
- |
- 2:00 pm |
- Permalink
At about 5 p.m. one weekday in 2002 in Austin, Texas, Michael Burns clicked a button and uploaded a video to DrunkGamers.com.
It was a website that he and a couple of co-workers had started in their free time. The video was a parody of Apple's Mac ads, showing a young man (played by Burns' friend Gustavo Sorola) extolling the "virtues" of gaming on the undersupported Mac.
"Another great thing about the Mac is upgrades," Sorola says to the camera. "On a PC, you have to open up your case, swap out your video card, change jumpers. On the Mac, when it's time to upgrade, you just pick it up, throw it away, and go buy another one. Now that's convenience."
Burns and Sorola created the video purely for the enjoyment of their gamer nerd friends. But the very next day, one of those friends went to work at his Los Angeles office and dropped in on a friend who was always watching online videos. In 2002, this was not so common. YouTube was still 3 years away. But when the friend saw his buddy Sorola on the screen, he asked his co-worker if he also knew Gus. No, he said, he'd just heard this video was funny. The parody had gone viral in less than 24 hours.
Before the parody ad, DrunkGamers.com had just been for fun. But now Burns, always called "Burnie," began to understand the power that the internet had to instantly find an audience if the content was good enough.
"It was this weird moment where we realized, man, the world's just flat," he told Wired.
Burns, now 39, is the CEO of Rooster Teeth, a company that he and Sorola established one year later to create humorous web video content. Their flagship creation is called Red vs. Blue, a parody of the popular shooter Halo created by adding voice-overs to actual footage pulled from the Xbox game. The 10th "season" of Red vs. Blue will premiere on Monday, May 28.
Burnie Burns is the kind of guy who will call you both "dude" and "man" in the same sentence. He is a film school dropout who created a multimedia empire, adapting along with the internet as it changed its shape. At 10 years old, Red vs. Blue has outlasted most science fiction shows on television. Rooster Teeth has conquered YouTube (it had the eighth most popular non-music channel of 2011) and iTunes (its podcast is the most downloaded one in the crowded Video Games category).
Rooster Teeth is a force to be reckoned with, but it all started in a spare bedroom in an Austin apartment.
When the parody "Switch" ad started taking off, Burns and Sorola were working at an Austin dial-up ISP called teleNetwork. They were friends with another employee there named Geoff Lazer Ramsey. He'd had his middle name legally changed to Lazer "as a joke." The three became fast friends, starting a website called Ugly Internet in which Sorola and Ramsey penned scathing reviews of aesthetically unappealing websites, then emailed the link to the webmasters. They even wrote petitions to the American Registry of Internet Numbers to have the most egregiously hideous websites' IP privileges revoked.
"We started getting death threats," says Sorola. "People started e-mailing us photos of where we live. People were telling us that they were going to stab us in our sleep."
Ugly Internet soon gave way to Drunk Gamers, which Burns joined. The three would review videogames while inebriated. The site was mostly an attempt to scam free games from publishers' PR departments. In this sense, it was a failure. The only game they ever got in the mail was the mediocre Xbox game Blinx: The Timesweeper.
"That's a game about a cat with a vacuum cleaner on its back that can alter time," Sorola says with a laugh. "We gave it a perfect score. 10 out of 10."
Burns was taken with another Xbox game — Halo. He'd post video captures of games, sometimes with humorous voice-overs. In August, he posted a trailer for an animated series called Red vs. Blue, promising that episodes would be "coming soon."
Then they forgot to do it.
Everybody got bored with Drunk Gamers in a few months. The trio shut down the site, replacing all of the content with a photo of Ramsey and Sorola flipping the bird.
That could have been the end of the story, had the editors of Computer Gaming World magazine not been in love with the "Switch" parody and wanted to include it on the promotional CD-ROM that they included with their popular PC gaming mag. They emailed Sorola asking for permission.
"Whenever you get any press at that size, you think it's going to be the biggest thing ever," Burns says. He and his friends were flipping out with excitement when they realized something: The video had a link to the now-dead Drunk Gamers site.
"Well, what if we did that Red vs. Blue thing?" one eventually said.
They registered redvsblue.com, added the link to the new version of the parody video, and set to work on actually creating an episode of the promised web series. On April 1, 2003, Rooster Teeth officially formed and uploaded the first episode.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday affirmed a lower court's rejection of Fox Broadcasting's efforts to bar Dish Network from selling its Hopper set-top box, which features controversial commercial skipping technology.
Dish's Hopper also includes a feature called PrimeTime Anytime that automatically records up to eight days of prime time shows from the four broadcast networks. The AutoHop feature allows subscribers to automatically skip commercials while watching certain PrimeTime Anytime recordings, starting the day after the initial broadcast.
"Dish is pleased that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the district court's 2012 order denying Fox's preliminary injunction motion," Read more…

Gone are those days when the word 'pirate' was associated with panic. Today, it is the other name of fun. The best example can be witnessed in the pirate pants, shirts, skirts and corsets worn by the men and women of today. A huge number of people like to be a pirate for a few moments, just for the purpose of fun.
A number of other activities are also accomplished on the pirate themes for more fun. The themed events like pirate festivals are undoubtedly the events of the great amusements. These activities are celebrated in different cities. Such festivals provide excellent entertainment, plus they provide the education also through the demonstration of the activities, which the raiders used to perform in the medieval times. The treasure hunts are one of the major events, which are the prominent allures of the parties. Moreover, one can also have the fun of the dance, music and food in the festivals.
Besides, the pirate fun is enjoyed a lot by the children also. A large number of kids visit these festivals, with their parents. In addition to this, some special parties are also organized for them, such as Pirates of the Caribbean birthday parties. "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series is the source of the theme of the parties. The images of Captain Jack Sparrow of the film can be seen all around in the parties. Treasure hunt, games and cupcakes etc., remain the special attraction of these Caribbean parties.
Apart from these fun events, some pirate films and games have also been composed for providing more fun. "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series is getting most popular in the present scenario. Hero Captain Jack Sparrow is funny, notorious and kind at the same time, and the pirate shirts and other dresses of his styles are getting more and more popular in today's scenario. Besides, some animation films, such as "Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas" have also been composed, which are the great sources of fun in the present scenario.
Some excellent games are also enjoyed these days, which take us towards the golden era of piracy. Moreover, the Disney's theme ride with name "Pirates of the Caribbean" introduced in 1967 can also be marked as a pirate fun.
The fact cannot be denied that the pirate fun is the great pastime, plus it gives us a great revitalization, when we are tired from our daily routine of the fast-paced life.

Since the film Amadeus portrayed Mozart as the Bad Boy of classical music, his popularity has reached epic heights, and 20 years later, Lincoln Center is still naming a festival after him. The Mozart myth endures: the blessed child turned rebel, dead at 35, under mysterious circumstances. Was he assassinated and by whom? A jealous rival? The man who commissioned the Requiem and wanted to own it? Did Mozart poison himself with mercury to cure syphilis? Was he punished for making fun of the Masonic rituals in The Magic Flute? Besides early romanticism, what is it in his music that makes it so likeable?
Mozart's music has an esthetic of grace and simplicity – simple, but not plain, a clarity that makes the listener just about guess what the next note is going to be, melodies that are as memorable as jingles. These same elements nowadays would almost guarantee rejection from orchestral committees, who seem to judge music on the basis of its level of complication. Mozart writes well in C major, and is not ashamed of it.
The festival this year has a clever international bent, focusing on where Mozart might have been (and funnily, where he wasn't, like Russia and Australia), and the highlights include: Bach Cantatas staged by Peter Sellars, performed by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson; a performance of Rameau and Handel by the French early music star, harpsichordist & conductor Emmanuelle Haim; a Handel oratorio choreographed by Baroque aficionado Mark Morris, and several programs on period instruments.

It's really interesting, looking forward to more updates and posts on the same.
It's a balmy 87 degrees on a late July afternoon in Miami, but for the dozen people gathered at Bikram Yoga in South Beach, that's not nearly hot enough.
Walking past the shops lining 11th Street between Washington and Collins avenues, practitioners of Bikram yoga climb a short flight of stairs and enter a studio with pastel-colored walls and Eastern art. Then they get as close to naked as they can — donning shorts, Lycra pants, sports bras, and tank tops — and head into a mirror-lined room where the temperature is 106 degrees.
For the next 90 minutes, they stretch, bend, and sweat profusely, drenching their yoga mats and gulping down water. Among the people taking part in this afternoon class is John Elliott, the 44-year-old manager of Bikram Yoga. He'll be teaching later in the evening, but that doesn't keep him from twisting and contorting with the paying members in the sauna-like atmosphere. For Elliott, who has taught Bikram for the past ten years, the combination of extreme heat and yoga is uniquely purifying.
"It gives my body and mind peace," he says after the class, still sweating. "It sends me in a direction I want to go."
Bikram has exploded in popularity in recent years, with more than 330 studios around the nation and seven in Miami-Dade offering the sweat-soaked workout.
But yoga's hottest trend is now at the center of a sizzling dispute between its founder — legendary yogi Bikram Choudhury — and one of his best students, a man named Greg Gumucio who founded his own chain of studios. There's more at stake than just millions of dollars in revenue; Bikram has persuaded the government to let him copyright hot yoga, raising serious questions about whether it's possible to copyright a type of exercise — which is very much a part of the conflict between Bikram and Gumucio.
Whoever wins that battle, many in the yoga world worry the fight could seriously affect a practice that has won millions of adherents by selling a stress-reducing, Zen-like lifestyle.
Bikram, for one, doesn't care about the cost. "I am going to go to trial to get him punishment, to make him an example, so no one will ever have the guts to do that same kind of shit," says the man so synonymous with yoga that people are often surprised to learn he is still living and not just some mythical icon.
Born in 1946 in Calcutta, where he made his name as a yogi by winning a series of youth competitions, Bikram moved to Los Angeles in the early '70s. His first book, published in 1978, preached that his 90-minute hot yoga sessions could heal anything from knee injuries to obesity and arthritis.
It wasn't until 1994 that he began teaching others his fabled method. At the time — 20 years after arriving in the States — there were only four Bikram studios in the country. Bikram was still training teachers one-on-one, the traditional method in India. That year he began educating teachers in groups, schooling up to 400 people in a given session. The courses weren't cheap — today they run $10,900 per student. But he was training so many people that, eight years later, he decided to copyright his method.
In health-crazed Hollywood, the small man's teachings exploded. His clients would include three presidents — Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton — in addition to George Harrison, Charlie Sheen, Prince Harry, and Jennifer Aniston.
"Lady Gaga listens to me," he boasted to a Boston audience during a June lecture. "Her mantra is only one word — Bikram — because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works."
The success earned him celebrity as well, and a starlet's ego to match. He lives in the Hollywood Hills with his collection of Rolls-Royces, earning an estimated $7 million annually. "I kind of run this city," he says. "They depend on me."
In Miami, Bikram has been popular since the '80s, the first studio opening in 1985. It operated in a Little Haiti gym before moving to Miami Beach and eventually settling on 11th Street between Washington and Collins in 2005. An average class boasts anywhere from ten to 30 students, peaking on the weekends. Despite the down economy, business has been good, Elliott says, and he's seeing more people every year.
Like his former mentor, Gumucio has dark, shoulder-length hair, though his locks flow in luscious waves. Heavy eyebrows and a large Roman nose accent a ruddy, usually unshaven face. He first met Bikram in Los Angeles in 1996. Gumucio had quit his job as a radio announcer in Seattle and moved to L.A., somewhat on a whim. He had taken only three Bikram classes when his sister persuaded him to enroll with her in the teacher training program.
That first day, he attempted to stand in the half-moon pose, his feet together, arms pressed tightly overhead, and torso stretched to the right. The novice strained to tilt more than a few inches to the side. As his eyes focused on his posture in the mirror, Gumucio says, Bikram approached him from behind.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the teacher asked quietly.
It's really interesting, looking forward to more updates and posts on the same.
when did copywriting and capitalizing become part of the path to inner peace? i thought yoga was about meditation and serenity, it doesnt sound like that bikram guy is very serene he seems like hollywood got the best of him.
lol, what a hoot, pass the popcorn. I would do either of these, and completely ignore the politics. It just doesn't matter to the one doing the yoga. Be happy.
It's complete absurdity. Yoga should not be monopolized, as Bikram has tried to do by preventing people he has trained from sharing it with others. It would be one thing if Gumucio's studios and students were creating some dangerous series, but if you go on to their website you will see Yoga to the People is more popular than ever- and it is NOT because they are just throwing up money to open studios. It is supply and demand. John Elliot probably has never taken a class in one of Gumucio's studios. Who is he to assume the quality of them? If Gumucio formally ran Bikram's teacher training, he obviously knows what he is doing and how to create a good class.

What's New
- iOS 5 compatibility.- Clear History.
App Description
Have you ever wanted to dial a number on a land line of a contact you have in your iPhone? Land Line Dialer is the most accurate tone (DTMF) dialer in the AppStore.There is always a reason to use a land line:
- The sound quality is better.
- You are out of reception in your mobile.
- It may be cheaper.
- You prefer not to cook your ear with radio waves.
The problem is your address book is in your iPhone so you have to look up the contact and start dialing manually.
No longer!
With Land Line Dialer you look up your contact, then place the iPhone next to the land line phone's mouth piece and have the number dialed for you. Land Line Dialer uses the same tone system regular phones use when connecting to switchboards. Land Line Dialer knows how to correctly dial numbers in your address book on a land line.
Land Liner Dialer was calibrated for the original iphone, iphone 3G and ipod touch to emit the correct tones on all these devices overcoming speaker distortion and emitting tones accurately to the specification to ensure accurate dialing. Land Line Dialer works correctly in all countries and knows how to transform a number from your cell contact to dial correctly from a land line wherever your are.
Note: May not work with all land phones. While Land Line Dialer works with most phones, some may not respond to the tone system, in particular IP phones.
Also works on 2nd generation iPod touch.

Wow... so I haven't been able to use the computer for the past two days because I've been at this gigundo glbtwhateverelse conference.... my gods it was amazing. All that pride... it made me happy. And just like... everybody being completely themselves, whether or not they could be at home. ^^
The first day I went to a workshop that was all dancey and then we sat in circles and talked... it was mandatory. Kinda unfortunate. The second workshop was a panel that I was in... talking to a whole buncha professionals that were asking how they could make schools better about being homophobic and stuff, which I couldn't answer cuz I've actually ahd a -good- experience... so I said like two things. xD
The third was freaking hilarious. Not only was this group of girls and one possible transguy trying to hook me up with their friend the whole time (he was kinda cute, I have his facebook and I'll add him as soon as I can be bothered to go upstairs), but the workshop was called "Self love is safe love." Myjeezus, most hilariously awkward thing ever. Although... they started talking about female anatomy and that got me slightly dysphoric. While I was laughing, though, so it was cool. >>
Aha, did I mention it was awkward? Ftr, I totally only went for the awkwardness. No point otherwise. xDDDD
And then my friend gave me a glow in the dark condom. How great is that? It's not lik eI'll ever use it, but... lawls. Glow in the dark condom. xD
anywho, went home, got back around 6:30, went straight to a basketbal game until 8:30, went out for dinner, got hom at like 10:30 and I had to go to the conference the next day too so I went to bed really quickly.
Next morning: opening show was this transguy, scott turner schofield. He's gorgeous... not as attractive as nph or barromwan, mind you, but accessible and therefore -almost- as cool. I got a signed book by him.
Teh first workshop I went to was also run by him, so that was really fun. The second one was just transguys talking about whatever came to mind.. then my friend and I went downstairs and bought flavored condoms (my other friend wanted some... *shrugs*) and went to a workshop run by two of my friends. It was fun. Just... talking.
Reggae band, etc... going to get food...
DRAG SHOW. Holy crap. Most awesome thing ever. I found a dollar in my wallet and because of it got dirty danced with by a drag queen. So flipping fun... I have an acquaintance that's a drag *king... said queen before. woopss. It was funny. Nyahhhh, it was so great. xDD
Then there was a dance.. which was just my friends and I being crazy. Also fun. xD
Although... there was this one guy, he looked like he was like 21 or soemthing and he kept stalking one of my friends. I was dancing, and he asked my friend about me... my friend immediately goes "He's 14!" I still got stalked and grinded with, but it was probably better than it would've been otherwise. Damn he was creepy... we had to get one of the like runners of the conference to get him to lay off. ><
So now I'm here... happy but exhausted. I have two rainbow bracelets, a ribbon pin, and useless but fun condoms. Good experiences and whatnot. I wish there were more of those sorts of things. >>
Aaaaand yeah. That's it, really. I can hardly function.. so worth it. xD
Man I love my group friends. >>
glow in the dark condoms are like my dream to have when i fool around with a guy ;D
"...I find it kinda funny,I find it kinda sad, that the dreams where i am dieing are the best I've ever had..." -gary jules
IT's great
"Assets, assets..."
"Well I've got a banana, and in a pinch you could put up some shelves..."
"Dreaming that someone unknown has died means that either you've been watching too much CSI..." - 5thstory
That. Sounds. Amazing. Seriously! I wish I had ANY condoms, nonetheless flavored and glow in the dark ones XDDD That is seriously amazing though :3
I'm really glad you had fun!
Always hold your head up high
If you don't, you'll never see the face of your killer.
It sounds like you had a good time and the conference sounded fun! Grrr...I'm jealous now, lol, kidding. A glow in the dark condom? Haha. :) Well I'm glad you had a good time!
And yeah. Glow in the dark. xDDD

Paranoid Penguin - Linux VPNs with OpenVPN, Part IV
Nearly all of the rest of the directives in Listing 2 are ones I already covered in Parts II and III of this series when dissecting Listing 1, the server configuration file. The client-side settings for those directives are even the same as specified on the server.
In the case of user nobody and group nogroup, which tell the openvpn command to run with unprivileged user and group identities after initialization, make sure the user account nobody and the group nogroup exist on your client system. Because both typically exist on most Linux systems, they probably do already. If not, you either can create them or change the directives to point to some other, existing dæmon account or group name. In no event should you change either to any user or group name used for actual human-use login accounts!
The only other directive worth mentioning here is mute-replay-warnings, which I didn't include in the server.ovpn file. Declaring this directive (without any argument) tells OpenVPN not to log events associated with its anti-packet-replay mechanism, which tends to trigger false alarms if you connect to a wireless network. It won't turn off the actual anti-replay protection; it just suppresses associated local log entries.
You've created a client configuration file and put it into your client system's /etc/openvpn directory. You've copied over your CA certificate file, client certificate and key files, and your TA key file. It's time to connect to the server.
Assuming your client system is running Linux (specifically Ubuntu), and assuming that, as in Listing 2, your client configuration file is called client.ovpn, follow these steps the first time you connect to your server:
1) Change your working directory to /etc/openvpn:
bash-$ cd /etc/openvpn
2) Run OpenVPN like this:
bash-$ sudo openvpn --config ./client.ovpn
3) When prompted, enter your client key's passphrase.
Enter Private Key Password: Your passphrase here
Note that in step 2 you started OpenVPN without the --daemon directive, leaving it running in the foreground. If everything works without a hitch, the next time you start OpenVPN, you can use sudo openvpn --daemon --config ./client.ovpn, in which case OpenVPN will run silently after asking you for your client key passphrase. On my Ubuntu client system, OpenVPN logs to the file /var/log/syslog when running in dæmon mode.
Hopefully, at this point you've got a working VPN tunnel back to your server. If you don't though, two different mistakes have caused the majority of my own problems using OpenVPN.
First, your tunnel will fail if you fail to copy all necessary files into /etc/openvpn: client configuration file, CA certificate, client certificate, client key and TLS Authentication key. These files also must have appropriate permissions set, and you must run the openvpn command with the appropriate level of privilege (that is, root privilege).
Second, firewall rules on both server and clients must be either disabled (left open) or reconfigured to allow OpenVPN traffic to pass. Telling you how to write such rules easily could occupy half or more of an entire article, especially if I were to cover the art of forcing certain types of traffic to use the tunnel. Suffice it to say, for now, check your iptables rules before you even bother running OpenVPN in server or client mode.
In writing this article, I tested both an Ubuntu client and a Windows XP client. Getting the Windows XP client to connect properly was no more difficult than on Ubuntu. It was a simple matter of placing the correct files in the correct directory and tweaking my Windows firewall configuration a little.
On Windows clients, the user and group directives have no effect, as OpenVPN's self-demotion feature is not supported in Windows. Other than that, however, I found the Windows version of OpenVPN to work in a very similar manner as the Linux version.
And that, dear readers, is how you configure OpenVPN to allow yourself to connect back to your home network from an untrusted remote site. This process is, in practice, much easier than my taking four months to describe it implies. Hopefully, my line-by-line dissections of the two configuration files have given you a strong enough understanding of how OpenVPN works for you to explore other usage scenarios.
I may devote one more column to this topic, because Virtual Private Networks are such a powerful tool, and these four installments have covered only a small subset of its potential. Regardless, I hope you've found this series useful and that you have success in your own Virtual Private Linux endeavors. Until next time, be safe!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Harrison 1st undrafted AP Defensive Player of Year
Harrison 1st undrafted AP Defensive Player of Year
By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer Jan 6, 4:10 am EST Buzz up! 351 votes This Nov. 30, 2008 file photo AP - Jan 5, 12:25 pm EST 1 of 4NFL Gallery PITTSBURGH (AP)James Harrison wasnt drafted out of Kent State, was cut four times before finally making it onto an NFL roster, yet is The Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year in only his second season as a Pittsburgh Steelers starter. A tough road? For sure. Now, it gets even more difficult for Harrison, a self-made player who won an honor normally reserved for stars. Joe Greene, Mel Blount and Jack Lambert, Defensive Players of the Year for the Steelers during the 1970s, are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Rod Woodson, the 1993 winner, could be enshrined in Canton as early as next year. So all Harrison must do is play at a Hall of Fame level the rest of his career, right? Ive got a whole bunch more to go to even be mentioned in the category of that group of guys, Harrison said. What Harrison has done in a brief time is remarkable enough. Harrison earned 22 votes to 13 for Dallas linebacker DeMarcus Ware in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters. The award began in 1971 and, while a large percentage of the winners were first-round draft picks, Harrison is a different kind of firstthe only non-drafted player to win. ADVERTISEMENT It couldnt happen to a better guy, wide receiver Hines Ward said. Hes worked his tail off to get to where he is. You appreciate it more, considering where he came from and how he got here. Supposedly too short and not quite fast enough to play in the league, Harrison was helped along by two major breaks after not getting any for a couple of years. A week before the Steelers went to camp in 2004, outside linebacker Clark Haggans was injured, causing coach Bill Cowher to bring back Harrison literally hours before camp began. Harrison had been cut three times previously by Pittsburgh. Later that season, Joey Porter got into a pregame fight in Cleveland, and Harrison unexpectedly made his first NFL start. Somebody elses misfortune is somebody elses fortune, Harrison said. Its just hard work, perseverance and little blessings here and there. A lot of sacks, too24 1/2 the last two seasons. The intense, competitive Harrison began progressing after he quit fighting the structure and regimen of pro ball, so much so the Steelers released Porter after the 2006 season and made Harrison a starter. He was chosen by his teammates as their MVP in each of the two seasons since. It should have been unanimous, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. This season, Harrison had a team-record 16 sacks and led the league with seven forced fumbles as the Steelers allowed the fewest total yards, passing yards and points. They just missedby about 60 yardsbecoming the first defense since the 1970 NFL merger to lead the league in the four major defensive statistics. I do what the defense allows me to do and what my teammates allow me to do, Harrison said. If those other 10 guys do their job, I do my job and play within the confines of the defense and how coach (Dick) LeBeau teaches us, I make the plays Im able to make. Teammate James Farrior said Harrisons workouts remain the talk of the locker room. Harrison works out as many as three times daily during the offseason, adding an evening workout if he didnt like one of his daytime sessions. Hes very tuned into what he has to do to make himself better, Farrior said. Thats all he strives for, to try to be better than anybody else, and you can see his determination when hes out there on the field. Harrison still plays on special teamshe had 12 tackles thereand is so willing to take on extra roles that he filled in as a long snapper when Greg Warren was hurt Oct. 26 against the Giants. Even when Harrisons bad snap led to a Giants safety, his teammates rushed to defend him. While the Steelers had four Defensive Players of the Year from 1972-76 (Greene (1972, 1974), Blount (1975) and Lambert (1976), Harrison and Woodson are their only winners in the last 32 years. What a coincidence that two of the best linebackers in their history came from the same schoolLambert also played at Kent Stateand both were downgraded by some scouts for supposedly not being physically equipped to play in the league. Just to prove people wrong and I can do this, Harrison said when asked what motivates him. I can do this at this level. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns It's crazy to think that he went to the same school as Lambert.

Re: Harrison 1st undrafted AP Defensive Player of Year
I'm thrilled for him!
I got to meet James in '07 on draft day and he's a really nice guy. He put on that steely stare when he walked into the room but was all smiles and twinkly eyed (he has a great smile) when talking to the fans. He checked out every picture on the cameras and if he wasn't happy with it, he made you take another one! My hubby is 6'6' (James is not very tall) and when he saw Russ, he jumped up on a chair so he would be taller! I can understand why Dan Rooney seemed protective about " Jimmy" when he had that incident last spring. Sometimes I think James was trying extra hard this year to prove himself to Mr. Rooney and thank him for standing by him and giving him a second chance. For whatever reason, the Steelers have greatly benefited by his dedication and hard work. Congrats, James!
"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback." |

Videographer Jobs
Videography jobs are somewhat competitive because they offer jobs for people who want to work in broadcasting or the motion pictures industry.
It is generally expected that video editors obtain four-year degrees, at minimum, because of the highly technical nature of the work. And while not all camera operators or those who work on film crews or production are expected to obtain degrees, they do need to have formal training. This is possible through internships, apprenticeships and assistantships. Degrees are available at many levels; including undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, post degree certificates and certificate degrees.
Work Environment
Work environment varies greatly on the industry in which a videographer works. For the most part, a full time job will include hours that vary greatly, and one can expect to work long hours and weekends on occasion. All videographers work under strict deadline. Freelance videographers who video weddings, ceremonies, events or weddings work varied hours and locations. Studio camera operators, such as those who work in a broadcast studio, work in one place and film their subjects from one location.
However, news/journalism videographers may find themselves covering unexpected events as they unfold and could potentially find themselves in dangerous situations. Camera operators and video editors working in the music and movie industries also work long and irregular hours and the location can vary greatly. Those who work for an advertising or marketing agency or with a corporation may find themselves working long hours on occasion to meet production schedules, but they typically work in one location.
Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, television, video and motion picture camera operators and editors held nearly 51,000 jobs. More than 26,000 of these jobs were camera operators, while video and film editors held more than 25,000 jobs. As with most other industries, there will be more videographers than positions available. However, those with the highest technical skills and advanced degrees will have enough of an edge to get salaried jobs or earn a living as a freelance/contract videographer. The ability to adapt ever-changing technology is another factor in a successful videography job.
Average Salaries
- The average salary for film and video editors is $51, 654
- The average salary for camera operators, television, video, and motion picture is $50,439
- The average salary for audio and video equipment technicians is $43,000
- The average salary for production occupations is $35,762
Research videographer salaries here:
Industries with Highest Levels of Employment
The top industries for video editors, producers and camera operators is overwhelmingly in favor of the "Movies and Music" industries and the "Media and Broadcasting" industries. Approximately 69% of video editors work in movies and music, 16% work in media and broadcasting, and the remaining 8% work in miscellaneous industries. There is a little bit more balance for camera operators: about 44% of camera operators work in media and broadcasting, while 36% work in movies and music. The remaining 10% work in miscellaneous industries.
Top Paying Industries
Interestingly enough, the industries with highest percentages of employment are also the lowest paying. The top paying industries for video editors in 2008 were in the movies and music industry where the average annual wage was $55,960. The top paying industry for camera operators was working for the government, where the average annual wage was $54,100.
