At Pentagon we believe buying your next Mitsubishi car should be as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. That's why we make sure there's no pressure and no pushy sales advisors in any of our showrooms. We simply want to help you choose your next vehicle at your own pace and in your own time. The same goes with paying for your new vehicle.
We know searching for the right loan can be a minefield. There's so much choice out there and it's often difficult to know if you are getting the best value for money.
At Pentagon, we have a SAF approved finance specialist at each dealership who can help you find the best way to buy your new vehicle.
Fixed Rates
Your regular payment will not change during the course of your agreement no matter how much the Bank of England base rate fluctuates.
Low Deposit
We only need a small deposit of £99 on the vast majority of deals. Some even require no deposit at all!
Easy To Arrange
There are no forms to fill in. All you will be asked for are a few basic details at the time of the sale and to bring your driving licence into us prior to collection.
At Pentagon we offer two main types of vehicle loans, Traditional finance (or Hire Purchase) and Low Payment Plan Finance (or Personal Contract Plans).
The Pentagon Low Payment Plan – also known as Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) – is a popular and flexible method of paying for a vehicle. It is similar to Traditional Finance but the payments are usually lower because there is an optional final payment (Guaranteed Future Value) that reflects a percentage of the anticipated value of the vehicle at the end of the agreement. At this point you can choose to pay the final payment or simply return the vehicle to the finance company. Choosing to pay for your vehicle this way often means you can drive a higher specification vehicle for a lower monthly payment.
With part of the car's value deferred until the end of the agreement, the monthly payments are lower than with many other finance plans.
Fixed interest rate
Even if other interest rates go up, the interest rate on your finance repayments will not be affected.
Financial security
With our Guaranteed Future Value you have the security of knowing the value of your car at the end of your agreement.
At the end of your agreement you can make the final payment and keep the car, hand it back, or trade it in. And there's no need to decide what to do until then.
Traditional Finance - also know as Hire Purchase (HP) - tends to suit the buyer who intends on keeping the vehicle for longer than the term of the loan. Your deposit is deducted from the total cash price of the vehicle to give a balance that requires financing. Interest is then added and the total of the balance and interest is then repaid in equal instalments throughout the life of the loan via monthly repayments, usually over a 2, 3, 4 or 5-year agreement (whichever you prefer). This is the simplest and most popular method of buying a car with finance. After you've made your final payment at the end of your agreement, the car is yours.
Fixed repayments
At the beginning of the agreement, both the amount you will pay every month and the repayment period is fixed and will not change.
Fixed interest rate
Even if other interest rates go up, the interest rate on your finance repayments will not be affected.
Flexible payment terms
Choose the length of the repayment period to suit your budget. You can choose between 12 and 60 months, it's entirely up to you.
Low or no deposit
You could choose to either part exchange your current vehicle and use that amount as your deposit, or put down no deposit up front and finance the whole amount.
Car Finance Checker is a fast, free and easy way to find the car finance deal that best fits your credit profile.
Click on any new or used car and our simple service will let you check your finance eligibility on the vehicle you want to buy. Car Finance Checker uses a sophisticated credit decision making engine which predicts the likelihood of you being approved for finance from a range of approved lenders.

Wayland students spend summer ministering on foreign soil
PLAINVIEW – The blowing winds and flat landscape of West Texas are home for students at Wayland Baptist University at least nine months out of the year. But this past summer, three students traded their usual surroundings for foreign soil in summer missions projects.
Jalissa King, a senior math education major from Portales, N.M., saw a part of the world most have only visited via TV newscasts, serving on a tsunami relief team in Thailand. Stacy Teague, a senior pre-medical major from Albuquerque, spent six weeks in Tanzania, Africa, doing medical missions with International Service Learning. Bekah Jackson, a sophomore from Olton, spent her summer in Vancouver, Canada, working with Indo-Canadian ministries.
Serving through Go Now Missions with the Baptist General Convention of Texas' Student Ministries, King was the only female on a ten-person team sent to provide relief services to the tsunami-ravaged area. Her primary role during the summer was delivering uncooked food to residents in temporary camps, having lost their homes in the storm.
"We probably delivered food to 1,400 people a day, and we took dry goods to the camps every two weeks," King explained. "We'd start the day helping unload the food trucks and organizing the food for our deliveries. If we had any free time, we would help the missionaries there or play with the children."
King said the summer taught her much about God's work, especially in areas that have seen so much destruction.
"God really is working and moving. So much is happening to these people, and they are open to what we have to say," King said. "It was cool to see how much has occurred because of this disaster and how God has used this to change the countries."
She also felt God confirming the call to missions she had felt earlier, finding herself at home among the foreign people and in unfamiliar territory. Though a self-proclaimed introvert, King said God used the experience to help her open up to strangers.
"I learned how to love people I don't really know," she said. "I'm not normally a really outgoing person, so it really changed me."
King said she was drawn to the opportunity to serve in Thailand because the duties were unknown. The description was purposefully vague, letting student applicants know their flexibility would be key. The experience taught her to let God lead and just be available.
Healing hands
With her eye on a career as a nurse practitioner, Stacy Teague had been seeking a summer missions opportunity that would allow her to blend her love of missions with her career aspirations. After searching for a medical missions trip that would give her real hands-on experience – as opposed to some that only allow students to serve as desk clerks – Teague found the International Service Learning trip to Africa and applied.
For three weeks, she served as part of a group of students who ran medical clinics in the bush area in Tanzania. Teague pointed out that it was the students who actually saw patients, diagnosed their ailments and treated them, with a doctor and nurse team checking their work and dealing with any problems that required extra care. Because of the commonality of certain diseases in the African nation – malaria and AIDS among the most common – the diagnosing became easy after a few days. She estimates the group treated 150-300 people each day, making it easy to become detached and routine.
"Medically, I learned that people are people and not symptoms," Teague said. "I learned to look at people as a heart and soul and not just as patients."
For the final three weeks of Teague's stay, she worked alone in a rural hospital in the Bush, having signed up to extend her trip to six weeks. She also worked in a Lutheran church, under the leadership of a female chaplain who became something of a mentor to Teague during her final weeks. Her duties, however, were completed unexpected.
"God really taught me to be flexible," she said. "I ended up preaching and teaching at times, and I never expected to be doing that."
Teague also came away from the trip with other lessons, along with a souvenir for which she certainly would never have volunteered: malaria.
"Two big things God taught me were boldness in my faith and stepping out in faith," Teague said. "He taught me to share my faith better and to do uncommon ministry, to step out and trust Him when things seemed impossible."
New beginnings
For Bekah Jackson, missions has been a lifelong joy and a career aspiration. Having known since she was a young girl that she would be a missionary one day, the decision to do summer missions was easy. The work would not prove as easy but would be rewarding.
Jackson was part of a four-person team working in Vancouver with Indian immigrants in the Vancouver, a group that comprises almost 20 percent of the population. The team, along with two similar teams sent through Texas Baptist Student Ministries, was responsible for researching the people group and their culture and customs in order to get churches involved in ministering to the Indo-Canadians.
"We did a lot of research and compiled a huge folder of information," Jackson said. "We also spent a lot of time building relationships with churches and trying to get them involved in ministry to the people."
Jackson explained that while the majority of Indians in Vancouver are Punjabi Sikh, there is one protestant church in the city with East Asians, and the group found that church most receptive to working with the Indians.
"They wanted to talk to us and ask us all kinds of questions, so we really got to visit with them and get to know them better," she said. "That made our summer.
"It was amazing to see the passion they had and see them worship God in their setting."
Jackson said she enjoyed getting to know the believers there and visit with the Indian families, especially hearing about their lives back in India. She was amazed to hear how many had left wealth in India to live modestly in Canada simply to enjoy the religious freedom of being a Christian.
"I had never had any interaction with Indians before this, and the culture was so neat," she said. "I developed a deep love for the people and the culture.
"I really got to see God's heart for the nations on this trip, and just the mix of cultures was awesome."

I don't like Concord because they take multiple classes at once. I think it would be better to take one, or no more than two classes at a time. Concord doesn't have a video demo of the instructor teaching class like some of the other schools do. I also don't have the bachelors to get into Concord. I need like 7 more classes. So I might have to go to one of the other schools.
I'm genuinely curious about this. Please tell me why you think it would be better to take one class at a time
Quote from: jack24 on July 09, 2012, 07:40:12 AMI'm genuinely curious about this. Please tell me why you think it would be better to take one class at a timeAsk your mommy. I'm beginng to think there are a bunch of retards on this forum. I quit posting to this forum a while back and I am going to stop posting again. Too many uneducated people on here asking stupid common sense questions. I'm not responding to to stupid questions.
Taking one class at a time allows a student to familiarize themselve with new concepts, very useful if you have no previous legal frame of reference.

With Matt Garza and (when he's healthy again) Ryan Dempster as the Cubs' top trading chips, the prospect of being a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs couldn't be more bleak.
Maybe there's another pitcher who can start that the Cubs recieve in whatever trades happen.
Maybe there's a double or triple A guy who can come up.
But maybe not.
Maybe post-trades, the starters are Jeff Samardzija, Travis Wood, Paul Maholm, Chris Volstad and uh...whatever happened to Thomas Diamond anyway?
Even without that scenario, we'll probably be seeing more relief appearances like Casey Coleman's in the last Met's romp.
Where even if you simply don't have it that day, you gotta DO YOUR TIME.
Even if it means you give up 6 hits, two walks, and 7 runs in 1.2 innings.
Nobody will save you.
Still, I continue to be amazed by the performance of Shawn Camp, rejected by I don't know how many other teams and transformed into kind of this year's rock.
Camp, James Russell, Carlos Marmol, Scott Maine, Rafael Dolis, Manny Corpas, and Jario Asencio.
I sure don't envy those guys.
But you know what today is?
It's a game against the Houston Astros.
And even though I can only name maybe 3 of them, well, you know how I feel about the Astros.
So COME ON Paul Maholm.
Try to give those guys sleeping in Sean's Camp some rest today.

After The Storm: What Now?
By Suze Orman
Host, CNBC's The Suze Orman Show
Oct. 31, 2012
« back
Now that Hurricane Sandy has settled down, those of you who have suffered a loss, need to make sure you understand exactly how your insurance will and will not work.
First, I want to say that it is entirely possible that due to the severity of this storm that many of your insurance companies may not stick to the letter of the contract. They very well may be more lenient than expected. One piece of good news is that NY GOV CUOMO announced that NY homeowners will not have to pay the hurricane deductibles that I talk about below because Sandy did not reach hurricane force winds. That is good news and lets hope that is true for all states. But regardless it is important to understand how your insurance works so that you are prepared for the what if's of life if they happen again. Please know that this information has been compiled for you to simply use as a guideline. The true bottom line will depend on your adjuster, your insurance company and how they decide to treat this extraordinary disaster.
Just to make sure I was not missing anything I contacted my own insurance agent Ramona Johanneson, who works for Farallone Pacific Insurance in Northern California, and she called and personally talked to many adjusters. We have put together a few Q's & A's based on their answers to hopefully help you better understand your insurance policies and what you can expect.
Please read them and save them for future reference.
Q. How do I know if I am covered for this loss?
That will depend on two things. Number one, what created the loss that you have: was it the hurricane? Was it the flood? Was it the fire?
Number two, are you covered for that loss under your policy. Most insurance policies have a list of what is a covered loss and what is excluded from your coverage.
But here is what I want to tell you and this does not make me happy to be the one to deliver this news.
What you really need to do to know if you are covered or not is to read your policy or ask your agent. The reason for this is that not all homeowner policies include the same coverage. There are so many different types of policies sold and it isn't a hard and fast answer. It really varies by state and then by certain areas within a state. The other problem is that a hurricane isn't really "just a big windstorm", so even if a homeowner's policy includes coverage for "wind", there is the problem that hurricanes generally bring water....which means flooding. So, let's say a homeowner's policy includes "windstorm" coverage and there is a hurricane – yay right? Not so, if there is flooding and a separate flood insurance policy wasn't purchased, then, it is probable that no coverage is going to be afforded. You need to talk to your insurance agent sooner than later.
Q.I see I am covered for hurricanes but it says I have a deductible of 5%. What does that mean?
First lets make sure you understand what a deductible is. The deductible is the amount you will be required to pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. A hurricane normally has a different deductible – or the amount that you have to pay out of your own pocket – than other perils such as theft, fire etc. That deductible can be 2%, 3%, 5%, etc. "of the dwelling limit" on your policy. Please note that the dwelling limit was determined by the agent or insurance company at the time the policy was written. The dwelling limit was not determined by you. The dwelling limit can be found in the policy declarations.
So, if a home has a dwelling limit of $300,000 and the hurricane deductible is 5%, and you have a $25,000 loss due to Sandy, here is how it could work. You take the value of your dwelling limit – $300,000 and multiply that by 5% your hurricane deductible which is $15,000. If the insurance companies stick to that 5% then they will give you a check for $10,000. Why $10,000? Your deductible of $15,000 plus $10,000 equals $25,000 which was your loss.
Now, please note: While this is a very simple explanation of a deductible, Ramona was told by adjusters and claims managers that she spoke with today, that because of the severity of Hurricane Sandy they could not predict at this point in time, how, when, under what circumstances, etc. the deductible would be collected, payment made, etc. So my advice to all of you would be to know exactly how your policy is written, but keep in mind that it is totally possible that you may do much better than that. Again it will all depend on your company and how they view this.
Also it is possible in your area that wind speeds or other factors for determining a hurricane, did not get to the point of a true hurricane and the higher hurricane deductible may not apply.
Q. What happens if I do not have the money after the deductible to fix up my home then what can I do?
If, as in the example above, you have $25,000 of damage but your insurance company after the deductible will only give you a check for $10,000, then to get the additional $15,000 you may need to do the following:
: FEMA or state government programs may offer special assistance; your insurance agent should be a good source of information in the coming days and weeks etc... In NY it was just announced that FEMA may be able to give you up to $31,000 per home but you need documentation. So take pics, etc. Make sure you document all your losses.
: Home and business owners may be able to use disaster assistance loans from the U.S Small Business Administration which will lend money at 4% if you qualify or many flood victims living in federal disaster areas will be eligible to receive aid, under certain circumstances.
What is key when it comes to the SBA disaster assistance loan is for you to pay close attention to deadlines and to apply quickly. It is better for a homeowner, business owner or renter to be approved for an SBA disaster loan and decide they don't want it rather than realizing they need it and finding out it is too late. One SBA spokesman said, "we don't want people to wait and see if they get insurance. They can go ahead and apply".

Q. What happens if I do not have Flood insurance?
Once the President designates an area as a major disaster zone, it makes the residents of that area eligible for FEMA assistance
: that includes rental assistance and low-rate loans to deal with repairs etc Residents and business owners can begin applying for grants that may be offered by registering online at disasterassistance.gov or by calling (800) 621-3362 or Call TTY (800) 462-7585 for people with speech or hearing disabilities. You have to act quickly to make sure that you are in there before the money is used up however. So just apply right away do not wait. Also you might want to consider applying as well for the SBA disaster assistance loan that was mentioned above.
Q. What happens if a tree fell on my car? Is that covered by my car insurance or my home insurance?
Automobile insurance.
An auto insurance policy covers damage to your car by a falling tree, as long as your auto policy includes comprehensive coverage. The damage to your car will be subject to the comprehensive deductible shown on the policy. Please note that it does not matter where the car was parked. Even if you car was parked in your driveway of your home, the comprehensive coverage on an automobile policy will still be the one to pay for it not your homeowners insurance.
If you have an old car and are covered for just liability, no coverage is available. So please check to see what kind of automobile insurance you have.
Q. What is the difference between the comprehensive coverage on an automobile insurance policy and liability coverage on an automobile insurance policy?
Comprehensive coverage on a car insurance policy is "comprehensive" as its name implies. Comprehensive coverage is optional. It pays for damage to your own vehicle from causes other than car accidents, such as vandalism, natural disasters, collisions with animals and theft. Coverage for a falling tree hitting the car is covered by the comprehensive coverage on car insurance.
Liability coverage on a car insurance policy pays for damage you do to others when you cause a car accident.
Q. Do all insurance policies cover you if you have to go live somewhere else because your house now is uninhabitable?
All homeowner's policies I've ever seen or heard of include loss of use or additional living expense coverage (these mean the same thing, some insurers list on the policy as loss of use and some list on the policy as additional living expense).
This coverage varies widely by insurer. The most common limit is "20% of the dwelling limit", so if a home has a dwelling limit (or "coverage A" limit as it is referred to) of $300,000, the maximum coverage for living elsewhere is up to $60,000.
Note that you really need to read closely what the provisions are for this coverage to apply. If the reason the home is uninhabitable is because of flood, there likely won't be coverage because flood isn't covered under a homeowner's policy. Also, a flood policy doesn't provide coverage for a policyholder to live elsewhere. However, if a storm's heavy winds rip away part of the roof over a bedroom, it would probably leave the home uninhabitable for a time.
Please note: No matter how uncomfortable a power outage might be, a home left without electricity isn't considered to be uninhabitable (if there is a forced evacuation, this is a separate topic and coverage might apply).
Homeowners don't have to wait for an adjuster to visit to seek shelter in a hotel if damage has made the home impossible to live in – keeping in mind, however, there is a limit on the coverage for additional living expenses in most policies.
Q. What is renter's insurance and does it also provide for loss of use?
If an individual is renting a home, apartment, condo, etc. and they have purchased a renter's policy, the coverage will be similar to that of a homeowner's policy, with the exception of coverage for the actual structure. The owner/landlord of their residence will have insured the building and likely the appliances. The owner/landlord could not have insured the possessions of the tenant, as "no insurable interest" exists....like you can't insure that in which you don't own.
So, if a tenant has purchased renter's insurance, most all of the coverage's that are included in a homeowner's policy for contents, loss of use/additional living expense, personal liability and medical payments apply. The policy will clearly state what the deductible is and if there is a separate wind or hurricane deductible.
Damage caused by Hurricane Sandy will likely be to the possessions and these possessions could be wet due to a roof being ripped off by wind or water rising and flooding the residence. Or perhaps, they could be destroyed because of fire, or stolen due to criminal activity. It is important to note that in order for the coverage to be given by an insurer, the loss from the storm has to be a covered loss and exceed the policy deductible. If, for example, the house that is rented is flooded due to rising water or a surge of water and no flood insurance policy was purchased by the renter to cover the contents, then no coverage exists. This is true, even if the owner/landlord of the home purchased flood insurance to cover the building.
If an individual purchased renter's insurance and there is damage to their contents, coverage will apply, up to the limit of the policy, if the type of loss is a covered loss, less the deductible. For example, if a living room, bedroom and dining room full of furniture, and closet full of clothes sustained water damage because the roof was torn off in the wind, and the value of the damaged items is $25,000, the insurer will pay $24,000 to replace the damaged items if there is a $1,000 deductible on the policy. If there isn't a separate wind or hurricane deductible listed on the policy, then the only deductible that applies is the "all perils deductible" listed on the policy.
Note that, as stated above, most renters insurance policies include loss of use/additional living expense coverage. The limit for this coverage will be shown on the declarations page of the policy. A typical limit is 20% of the contents limit. So, if an individual has purchased $50,000 in contents coverage, they will have $10,000 of coverage for living expenses (i.e. hotel or other temporary shelter, extra food costs, etc.) if their rented residence is uninhabitable due to a covered loss.
Q. What can I do to help move my claim along quickly?
Call your insurance company to report a claim promptly.
Work closely with the adjuster.
Don't "pad the claim" with extras that can't be explained or verified.
In addition, before meeting with the adjuster, take pictures of damage, have receipts for emergency repairs and other emergency expenses ready, etc....these will be helpful and can move the claim along quickly and allow for a fair settlement.
Q. How does flood insurance work?
Flood insurance policies cover physical damage to property and possessions due to flood. The National Flood policy covers damage for up to $250,000 to the structure of a home and $100,000 for personal possessions. Note that the NFIP policy provides "replacement" cost coverage for the structure, but only "actual cash value" coverage for possessions. Flood insurance has to have been in place for at least 30 days prior to an event, unless the home was just recently purchased and flood coverage required by a lender at the close of escrow. You cannot buy flood insurance the day before you know you are going to be hit by a flood. So please plan beforehand for such an event.
Q. What does flood insurance cover?
Building property:
The insured building and its foundation
Electrical and plumbing systems
Central air–conditioning equipment, furnaces and water heaters
Refrigerators, cooking stoves and built–in appliances such as dishwashers
Permanently installed carpeting over unfinished flooring
Permanently installed paneling, wallboard, bookcases and cabinets
Window blinds
Detached garages (up to 10 percent of building property coverage); detached buildings (other than garages) require a separate building property policy
Debris removal
Personal contents property:
Personal belongings, such as clothing, furniture and electronic equipment
Portable and window air conditioners
Portable microwave ovens and portable dishwashers
Carpets that are not included in building coverage
Clothing washers and dryers
Food freezers and the food in them
Certain valuable items such as original artwork and furs (up to $2,500)
Q. What's not covered by flood insurance?
Damage caused by moisture, mildew or mold that could have been avoided by the property owner
Currency, precious metals and valuable papers such as stock certificates
Property and belongings outside of an insured building such as trees, plants, wells, septic systems, walks, decks, patios, fences, seawalls, hot tubs and swimming pools
Living expenses such as temporary housing
Financial losses caused by business interruption or loss of use of insured property
Most self–propelled vehicles such as cars, including their parts (see section iv.5 in the flood policy)
Q. If I live in an apartment or room that is below the lowest elevated floor or in the basement will my flood insurance cover me?
Coverage is limited in basements regardless of zone or date of construction. It's also limited in areas below the lowest elevated floor, depending on the flood zone and date of construction.
These areas include:
Crawl spaces under an elevated building
Enclosed areas beneath buildings elevated on full–story foundation walls that are sometimes referred to as "walkout basements"
Enclosed areas under other types of elevated buildings
Q. What happens if my house caught fire during the hurricane? Is it covered under the fire coverage on my homeowner's insurance or will my insurance company say the hurricane caused the fire to make me pay the higher hurricane deductible?
Every claims adjuster and manager I spoke to was unwilling to answer this question. The reason is that proximate cause of loss is relevant (and varies), and what triggered the fire initially will be important, not just the fact that there was a "hurricane" in the area. Each state and each policy will have provisions about WHAT a hurricane is and say, for example, the wind was 72 mph in one place and 75 mph in another and the trigger to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph, things will get tricky.
What is paid by one insurer could differ from another insurer and could even differ from one address to another. Also, every adjuster stated that in past storms/hurricanes of this magnitude involving so many states and policyholders, that the policy contracts were not followed. Insurers paid for many things not included in the policy contract and waived deductibles in many instances, liberalized exclusions, enhanced coverage, etc. Adjusters feel this will be the case with this storm and that some policyholders will receive far more than their policy contract states they will – previous actions on prior claims substantiate what the adjuster's anticipate.
Q. Are there tax write–offs for my property losses that are not covered by insurance?
If you have property losses not covered by insurance, or not fully covered by insurance, then there are actions that you need to take, for you may qualify for a tax deduction. You need to know the fair market value of your home before Sandy hit and what it is now worth after Sandy, before any of the repairs are done. For instance, if your home was worth $400,000 before Sandy and is now worth $200,000 after Sandy– you have lost $200,000 in value because of the disaster. If you simply take any insurance proceeds you received and subtract them from your current value you could get a tax deduction for the difference. So let's say you have lost $200,000 in value as with the example above. You get a check for $150,000 from your insurance company for repairs to the house. You subtract that $150,000 from $200,000 and you could have a $50,000 deduction that you could take. Be sure to check with your CPA.
Q. Do I get a deduction for losses to my personal possessions that are not covered by insurance?
The answer to that could be yes, but it depends on what possessions you are talking about. So will they pay you for things that cannot be replaced such as photos, etc? The answer to that is no. But if you have property that can be replaced such as TVs iPads, computers, clothes, furniture, and other personal property destroyed by Sandy that you are not covered for under insurance, then most likely yes, you can claim your losses on your taxes on form 4684.
So I hope this has helped you. In times of loss I know you want answers right away. You want checks cut right away. I advise you to be persistent but also patient. This was a very large storm that touched the lives of tens of thousands of people. So it takes a long time to clean up such a disaster. The adjusters and the insurance companies will have a lot to process so just keep that in mind when dealing with them. Take every day just one at a time and never forget you will get through this and I hope I have made it just a little easier for you.

Little Britain star David Walliams will play a bad guy in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who, according to thehollywoodnews.com. "I've been offered a part in Doctor Who, which I'm very, very excited about," the actor said on BBC Radio 2. "I've said yes. I don't think I can say much, but I'll say I'm an alien."
We've seen a fair bit casting news on Doctor Who in the past couple of weeks, and it looks like there is no stopping the 'Who' casting machine.
Being Human creator, Toby Whithouse will be returning to writing duties on the sixth season of Doctor Who.
James Corden has recently confirmed that he'll be reprising his role of Craig Owens in the new season of Doctor Who.
A couple of days ago it was confirmed by the BBC that James Corden, who is best known for his role as the lovable Smithy in Gavin and Stacy is reprising his role of Craig Owens in the new series of Doctor Who.
It's been awhile since we've heard anything on Twitter from Neil Gaiman about his episode of Doctor Who, and for awhile there I was thinking that he has been silenced by the powers that be for teasing us a little too much.

"It's amazing," said Sheppard, according to assignmentx.com. "It is so good. We shot in America, we brought Who to America, so we could bring Who to America."
According to a report in the official Doctor Who Magazine. We will lose one of the four main characters in Doctor Who when the first episode of the new series starts on April 23.

Actress Tatum O'Neal has sold her 1,435-square-foot home for $1.72 million, reports The Real Deal.
The condo, located near Chinatown, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and was previously a rental. In 2011, it was being rented at an asking price of $7,000 a month, but on Sept. 13 it was no longer available, and the following day it went on sale for an asking price of $1.65 million.
U.S. & World
The home has a domed ceiling that was originally part of the lobby of the Forward building. The 45,000-square-foot building, built in 1912, has 29 units, but O'Neal's is the only one with direct elevator access from the street. The building was turned into condos in 2006, and many of the original details have been preserved, like the stained-glass windows inside O'Neal's unit that were updated with a double pane so that they can open.
The listing of the home reportedly prompted quite the bidding war.
"It got a lot of attention," said Tim Cass of the Corcoran Group. "It's a very unique property."

You know the old saying: nothing good ever happens at 1 a.m. in Nebraska. Well, Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain found out the hard way last night, as his evening ended with him in handcuffs.
Joba Chamberlain was arrested for driving under the influence early Saturday morning near his hometown of Lincoln, Neb. Deborah Collins, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska State Patrol, said that the 23-year-old Chamberlain was pulled over after being observed speeding in a 2006 BMW 750i shortly after 1 a.m. on U.S. 77. Chamberlain was arrested after an odor of alcohol was detected and an open container of alcohol was observed on the front passenger seat.
As if the Yanks weren't having a hard enough time after a disastrous season, and now helplessly watching as their arch rivals rise from the dead in the ALCS. Charges are expected to be filed on Monday for the 23-year old. Chamberlain arrested in Nebraska [The LoHud Yankees Blog] NOOOOOOO! [3:10 To Joba]

Images come courtesy of THR.
Here's the synopsis for Moonrise Kingdom:
"Moonrise Kingdom" is the new movie directed by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Wes Anderson ("The Royal Tenenbaums," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Rushmore"). Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, "Moonrise Kingdom" tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff, Captain Sharp. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban; and introduces Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.
Here's the synopsis for Ice Age: Continental Drift:
Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences – a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.
Here's the synopsis for Great Hope Springs:
Many years of marriage have left Maeve (Streep) wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a famed relationship guru (Carell) in the town of Great Hope Springs, she must persuade her skeptical husband (Jones) to get on a plane for an intense week of marriage and sex therapy. Getting there was hard enough…now shedding their bedroom hang ups, learning some new moves and rediscovering their youthful spark is when the real adventure begins.
Here's the synopsis for Ruby Sparks:
Calvin (Dano) is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing – as well as his romantic life. Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby (Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.

What comes to mind when you hear Danica McKellar's name? Wonder Years alum, actress, mathematician, author... stripper?! Apparently so, to Secret Life of the American Teenager's Ethan at least.
See the shows we're losing this season
In this exclusive clip from Monday's episode (8/7c, ABC Family), Ethan (Michael Grant) and Kathy (Cierra Ramirez) go house-to-house surveying people about their usage of algebra as part of their attempt to remove it from their curriculum. When McKellar answers one of the doors, Kathy is excited to see her. Ethan, on the other hand, thinks she looks familiar for entirely the wrong reason. Watch:

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows through the campsite.
Only 'tent sites' had a shelter, which contained a picnic table. There was a second picnic table outside the shelter.
Tuesday, September 18th - - Joann was more energetic that I this morning. She got up early and drove the 15 miles to the West Quoddy Lighthouse, near Lubec, to photograph the sunrise. That lighthouse is located on the eastern-most point in the United States. I, on the other hand, took one look at the sky and stayed in bed a little while longer. However, I did manage to get up in time for these pictures...
But then, I would have missed out on these shots... The tide was still going out. Or maybe it was coming in. Not sure. But at low tide there was no water in this little bay and at high tide it was completely filled.
This was the view from my little beach spot, looking south. Oddly enough, the sky was clearer over at the West Quoddy Lighthouse and Joann got some really nice shots. Almost made me wish I'd gotten up and gone over there myself. Almost.
Good morning, sunshine. It's so nice to see you!

A record in the "Orphan's Court" of Adams County, Pennsylvania dated August 25, 1845 shows that John Sheffer, as heir at law of Frederick Berline in right of his wife Loretta, petitioned the court stating that "Frederick Berline died intestate September 18, 1843 leaving issue eight children, to wit: John, Henry, George, Loretta (wife of petitioner), Eli, Joel, Polly and Frederick. All over the age of twenty-one."
Census records suggest that John D. Berlin may have resided with his father through 1810 in Adams County, Pennsylvania. I have not located John in the 1820 census where he would have been 28 years old and single.
It is not known when John D. Berlin settled in Columbiana County, Ohio but on February 16th, 1826 he was married to Susannah Huffman in that county. They resided near Washingtonville which lies on the line delineating the counties of Columbiana and Mahoning.
Susannah Huffman (or Hoffman) was born March 9, 1804 in Columbiana County, Ohio. She was the second of eleven children of John and Catherine (Coy) Hoffman. There arises some confusion in several published biographies of Coy family members. It seems that Susannah's aunt, Elizabeth Coy, also married a man by the name of John Berlin! Those biographies state that Elizabeth and John Berlin resided in Nappanee, Indiana. Not true. Elizabeth Coy did marry John Berlin but they lived in Ohio. That John Berlin was born January 8, 1777 and was probably the son of John Nicholas Berlin (brother of John D. Berlin's grandfather) which would make John and John D. first cousins once removed. A record on Find A Grave shows that that John Berlin lived to be 101 years old. He is buried in Stark County, Ohio while his wife Elizabeth is buried in Summit County.
I have never seen a record that indicates what the "D" stands for in John D. Berlin's name but suspect that it was used primarily to distinguish him from that other John Berlin. Columbiana, Mahoning, Portage, Stark and Summit counties are all in the northeast corner of Ohio, which is where both of them lived at various times. His mother's maiden name is reported to be Dietzler, so perhaps he used the "D" in her honor.
On May 26, 1827 Solomon Berlin, the first child of John D. and Susannah, was born. They remained in Columbiana County, near Washingtonville, for the next 19 years and had eight more children: Catherine, 1830; Lydia, 1832; Josiah, 1834; Jacob, 1836; Mary, 1838; Sarah, 1840; Elizabeth, 1843; and Lovina, 1845.
In 1846 John D. Berlin moved with his family to the Rootstown area in Portage County, Ohio where they lived for 18 years. Their youngest son, Joseph Milton was born there in 1848. He was killed in the spring of 1856 in a wagon accident, at the age of seven years.
As with the majority of my ancestors, John D. Berlin was a farmer. As a result, there doesn't seem to be a lot of records on him. I've found him in land records and census records: In 1830 and 1840 in Columbiana County, Ohio as John Barlein and Jno. D. Berlin, respectively. In 1850 in Rootstown, Portage County, Ohio he is enumerated as John Elsworth! He and his family were listed on the lines immediately after Dolly Elsworth. The names and ages of the children match his family completely so there is no doubt that it is the family of John D. Berlin. In 1860 he was enumerated as J. D. Berlin and was still in Rootstown. At that time only the four youngest daughters were still living at home.
Solomon Berlin, the oldest child of John D. and Susan, married Fianna Slabaugh in 1851 and shortly thereafter moved to Locke Township, Elkhart County, Indiana. Catherine Berlin, the next oldest child, was married about 1854 to Frederick Daniel Richmond. They lived in Iowa for several years (where their first two children were born) before settling in Elkhart County about 1858. Jacob Berlin, fifth child of John D. and Susan, was living with his brother Solomon in Elkhart County in 1860.
Susannah's sister, Elizabeth Coy, had married Jacob Stauffer and they had moved with their family to Elkhart County in 1852. John D's sister, Loretta (full name Clarissa Loretta) and her husband, John Shafer, and their daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Isaac Rodibush (or Raudenbush) moved to Elkhart County, Indiana prior to 1860 where they are enumerated in Union township.
With family (and undoubtedly some friends too) already living in Elkhart County, Indiana it was not surprising to learn that John D. and Susan moved there also. Family letters show that John D. and Susan left Portage County, Ohio just a few days after the marriage of their daughter Sarah to George W. Greene (they were married on August 28, 1864). Traveling with John D. and Susan were their daughters Elizabeth (aka Lizzie) and Lovina, and their son Josiah along with his wife and two sons. Three daughters of John D. and Susan remained in Portage County – Sarah, Lydia and Mary Ann. Lydia had married Myron Collins in November 1858 and Mary Ann was still single.
John D. Berlin and Susan were found in the 1870 census in Locke Township, Elkhart County. Residing with them were his brother Frederic (a blind potter, age 60) and his sister Polly (age 58). By then the two youngest daughters had married: Elizabeth to Samuel Coppes in 1867 and Lovina to Eli Yarian in 1866. Lydia, Mary Ann, and Sarah were all still living in Portage County, Ohio.
Lydia's husband, Myron Collins, had died of disease in a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee in April 1865. Nine years later (September 1874) she would marry Henry Woodruff and move to LaCygne, Linn County, Kansas. Henry died in 1898. Shortly thereafter, Lydia went to live in Elkhart County, Indiana.
Toward the end of 1866 Mary Ann Berlin also moved to Indiana. She was living in Elkhart County in 1875 when she married Lewis B. Winder.
Thus it was that Sarah (Berlin) Greene was the only member of the family who remained in Portage County, Ohio. She would live in the Ravenna area the rest of her life, giving birth to seven children, five of whom would live to adulthood. One of her children, Harry B. Greene, would move to Nappanee, Elkhart County, Indiana prior to 1900.
On November 11, 1879, John D. Berlin passed away at the home of his daughter Mary Winder in Locke, Elkhart County, Indiana. His wife Susan died five months later, on April 22, 1880 also at Mary's home. They are both buried in the Primitive Baptist Cemetery in Locke Township, Elkhart County, Indiana.

A copy of the above photograph was received in the late 1990s from a descendant of Solomon Berlin. It is not known who now has the original or whether there were any markings on it to indicate where or when it was taken. I'm guessing that it was taken between 1862 and 1868. The son Jacob is not included – he was killed on April 7, 1862 (the second day of fighting during the Battle of Shiloh) – and Josiah died in March 1869.
John D. and Susannah (Hoffman) Berlin are my 3rd great grandparents. Their daughter, Lovina, married Eli Yarian and their daughter Susie Yarian would marry Henry Phend. They were the parents of Rolland Victor Phend who would marry Hazlette Brubaker. And they would become the parents of Virginia (Phend) Wiseman, my mother...

Ellen DeGeneres has followed Simon and Paula out the door on "Idol."
The comedian-talk show host revealed Thursday that's she's decided not to re-up for a second season as "American Idol" judge.
"A couple months ago, I let FOX and the American Idol producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me," DeGeneres said in a statement to People. "I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next."
U.S. & World
DeGeneres, who came on board last season to replace Paula Abdul as judge, said leaving the show was a "difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for."
But it wasn't just the schedule, she said.
"I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings," DeGeneres told People.
Her resignation gives "American Idol" two vacancies on its judging panel going into season 10. Fox has yet to announce a replacement for Simon Cowell, who left at the end of last season to bring his British talent show, "The X Factor," stateside on Fox.
"We love Ellen and understand and support her decision to bow out of Idol," Peter Rice, chairman of Fox entertainment, told People in a statement. "We were fortunate to receive the humor, energy and love for talent that she brought to the show."
Meanwhile, the parade of stars who have clamored to sign on as "Idol" judges or been rumored to be in discussions with producers about joining the show has included: rap mogul Diddy, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, Donald Trump, Elton John, Brett Michaels, Harry Connick Jr., Shania Twain, Chris Isaak, Courtney Love, and Howard Stern.
Former "Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has suggested the show replace all its existing judges.
With "Idol" facing ratings erosion, DeGeneres' exit gives Fox the chance to make a fresh start with a revamped judging panel when the show returns in January.

Found one of these today at a local gun store. This one had black forearm and buttstock with grey park over the metal.
The price was too much for me at $1,399, but I did get to pick it up and handle it.
It was very light, even with 30" bbl. Would be able to carry it all day in the field.
Well balanced. Did not feel muzzle heavy or butt heavy. Pointed naturally. High-vis sight with mid-bead.
Without shooting it, it seemed like a very nice gun. I doubt very seriously I will own one, though. Too many other interests.

Pre Seen Training on The Plaza!!!
Steve Prefontaine was spotted sprinting through Ashland's downtown Plaza last night. The photographer was lucky enough to catch him in what was, no doubt, a warm-up for this weekend's Olympic Marathon Trials. His die hard fans seem to follow him everywhere he goes.

Fifty years ago, I became friends with a Muslim immigrant who had moved to the UK from India. At the time, there were very few Muslims in the area where I lived. I asked him what he could do as a Muslim in such a remote location. He said it was the duty of every Muslim to help spread Islam wherever he goes.
Salman Rushdie, the writer persecuted for his book "Satanic Verses" and a former Muslim, speaking in New York over ten years ago (and broadcast on C-Span), said: 'When a Muslim moves from the Middle East to Detroit, he is not looking to take advantage of America's freedoms to better himself; rather, he sees himself as part of the advance guard to spread Islam to America."
When you hear a Muslim spokesperson on a television news program, keep the above in mind.
Yesterday, Wednesday, approximately 36 hours after the Manchester suicide bombing and following press reports that the perpetrator worshipped at the local Didsbury mosque, a trustee of the mosque addressed the press, distancing his mosque from the bombing, while at the same time inviting members of the public to come and join them, taking the opportunity to proselityze.
"The doors of the centre are open to all – they are open to all. "Some media reports have reported that the bomber worked at the Manchester Islamic Centre – this is not true, he has never worked in this centre. "We are concerned about anti-Muslim acts ranging from verbal abuse to acts of criminal damage to mosques in the area and outside the area."
As you can tell from the last sentence, he also took the opportunity to halt any anti-Muslim backlash that could follow the bombing that killed mostly young white girls attending a concert in the Manchester Arena.
The youngest was 8 years old. As this is unlikely to be the last suicide bombing, we need to ask why we can no longer protect our children.
The suicide bomber was the son of Libyan refugees who fled to England in the 1990's.
An Australian Muslim psychiatrist born in Bangladesh, writing about the Manchester terror incident, called Wednesday for restrictions on Muslim immigrants into the West. His article appeared in The Spectator Australia. "Refugees have trouble integrating," said Tanveer Ahmed.
The only solution to the problem of Islamic terror in western countries is to change immigration policies that have allowed this dangerous situation to develop over the last five decades.
The best commentary on the bombing was on the Gatestone Institute's website. Note the following three paragraphs.
- "After hearing of the Manchester terrorist attack, politicians once more communicated their by now old-routine of "shock" and "grief" at the predictable outcome of their own policies.
- "Most dumbfounding of all, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she was watching the developments in Manchester "with grief and horror" and that she found the attack "incomprehensible."
- "Every time a European leader publicly endorses Islam as a great faith, a "religion of peace," or claims that violence in Islam is a "perversion of a great faith," despite massive evidence to the contrary, they signal in the strongest way possible that with every devastating attack, the West is ripe for the taking." (5/22/17 'Manchester: Europe still "Shocked! Shocked!"' by Judith Bergman)
Ms. Bergman is absolutely correct in writing that Monday's horror was the result of political decisions taken in recent decades, particularly when it comes to immigration. It's almost fifty years since a famous British politician denounced the country's immigration policies, saying the nation was "building up its own funeral pyre." Enoch Powell, MP, had to resign his position in the Conservative party for, as is now clear, speaking the truth.
Jonathan Ive, Apple's Chief Design Officer, sensing the changing public mood on immigration, said Thursday that immigrants are vital for the UK economy. This is meant to scare people into accepting more immigrants, some of whom will, inevitably, be Muslims; and some of those extremists. What he should have called for is a ban on all abortions. This will mean a higher birthrate and, in time, will provide those extra people for the British economy.
Immigration policy must change. The fact remains, following the attack by Salman Abedi, a British born Libyan, that if his parents had not been allowed into the UK, 22 ethnic English (those whose ancestors have lived there for centuries) would still be alive; and over sixty others would not be dealing with potentially life-changing injuries.
It's no good just increasing the numbers of police and army personnel on the streets, or spending more on intelligence gathering – until something is done about immigration it will all be fruitless.
And talking of intelligence, Mrs. May was correct in her response to US intelligence releasing information from England to the New York Times. Intelligence services need to be very careful about betraying one another's confidences. The arrangement between the US and UK dates back 75 years, to 1942. Australia, Canada and New Zealand were included more recently. These Anglophone nations need to be able to trust each other. After a face-to-face discussion with Theresa May earlier today, President Trump has promised to find the source of the leaks and punish those responsible.
One final thought on Britain and terrorism: the British have a history of compromising with terrorism, starting with Ireland a century ago and continuing until the Good Friday Agreement twenty years ago. After World War II, Jewish terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, an act that led to Britain withdrawing from the mandated territory; even though the British defeated the Mau Mau in Kenya, they gave the terrorists what they wanted; the same in Cyprus; in the 70's they handed over Rhodesia to terrorists led by Robert Mugabe; and then worked on South Africa to hand over to Nelson Mandela, a terrorist leader who was responsible for the deaths of 200 people. The lesson repeatedly learned is that terrorism works!
This time, the British are fighting for their homeland, the United Kingdom – will they once again compromise with the forces of evil?
Prior to visiting Jerusalem, Mr. Trump was in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and home of one of its strictest sects, the Wahhabi sect of Islam. Wahhabis believe that all non-believers are infidels and enemies and they have a history of violence directed at non-Muslims. This includes September 11th, when 15 of the 19 hijackers had Saudi citizenship. Even the attack in Manchester has its origins in Wahhabism, by way of ISIS.
Saudis have helped finance terrorism around the world and continue to provide imams for taxpayer-funded chaplaincy programs in the US, as well as new mosques around the world. The "help" Saudi Arabia promised Germany when the latter took in over a million refugees, was to offer to build 200 new mosques.
But oil, as we all know, is very important and the Saudis happen to be one of the world's biggest producers and the country that determines the price of the black gold.
Saudi Arabia is also of strategic importance and an avowed enemy of Iran. Their differences go back to the seventh century when Shia Islam broke away from the majority Sunni Islam. Today, Saudi Arabia backs Sunnis throughout the Middle East against Shia Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Some wealthy Saudis have even backed ISIS, an organization that supports Sunnis against the Shia.
With a visit to the world's three main religious centers, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Vatican, President Trump is working on achieving a comprehensive Middle East peace, hoping to succeed where all his predecessors have failed.
He should remember the words of the Apostle Paul. In his First Epistle to the Thessalonians, Paul looked ahead to the time prior to Christ's Second Coming when there is much talk of world peace. "For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape." (I Thess. 5:3).
The US has the power and influence to impose a peace treaty on the Israelis and Palestinians – but it won't last. The latter will ultimately not embrace peace until the country of Israel ceases to exist. How can you negotiate with people who are committed to your destruction?
A news item a few days ago revealed that attendance at Church of England services in the United Kingdom is increasing, after decades of decline. This is attributed partly to the rise of English nationalism, as evidenced by Brexit.
Whatever the reasons, it might eventually help the BBC.
On Monday's 9am broadcast on BBC World News, Lyse Doucet, a BBC journalist from Canada, was standing in front of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem awaiting the arrival of President Trump and his wife. As the president was delayed, Lyse Doucet recapped on Mr. & Mrs. Trump's visit to what she described as the most important Christian religious site in the world, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which witnessed the "death, burial and reconstruction of Jesus Christ".
I think she meant "resurrection."
Which brings me to Little Emily, a 5-year-old girl featured in our local newspaper two or three years ago. Her Baptist pastor was giving a sermon on Easter Sunday and asked the children what they knew about the resurrection. 5-year-old Emily raised her hand and kept saying: "I know! I know!"
So the pastor asked her to tell the congregation what she knew about the resurrection. Her reply made it into the local paper. "If you experience a resurrection lasting more than four hours, you need to go to the doctor."
Reportedly, the pastor was unable to finish his sermon.
Maybe one day Emily could work for the BBC, as their Religious Affairs Correspondent!
