Friday, December 30 at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC
(For immediate release – December 16, 2016 – Toronto, ON) – Look back and laugh at the year that was on Friday, December 30 at 9 p.m. (9:30 p.m. NT) with award-winning comedian Ron James in his ninth one-hour comedy special, RON JAMES: TRUE NORTH, filmed in one of James' favourite towns, Kingston, Ontario. An encore broadcast of the much-anticipated special will air on Sunday, January 1 at 9 p.m. (9:30 p.m. NT) on CBC.
TRUE NORTH finds Ron James and his poetically charged brand of funny searching for slivers of sanity in a year so categorically 'cuckoo' that he watched dumbstruck as just about every nation on earth but Canada went "to hell in a hand cart." James sends up Britain and their 'Brexit' decision and also shares his comedically-candid views on the results of the US presidential election.
As Canada approaches its 'sesquicentennial,' James examines why the country's international reputation has never been more stellar with particular focus on Mr. Sunny Ways himself, Justin Trudeau.
Looking at the year in review, James weighs in on an eclectic tableau of subjects from the legalization of marijuana to Pokemon Go; ridiculous bathroom laws in North Carolina to indigenous water rights; the Rio Olympics as well as the role certain figures in Canadian history have played in forging Canada's national identity.
James also addresses what he considers the 'elephant in the room' for 2016 – the ascension of Donald Trump to the most powerful office in the world – sparing no mercy as only Ron James can.
Ultimately, TRUE NORTH is a rollicking, impassioned and sometimes ribald celebration of Canada at its 150th year.

A wicked hat-trick of shows in Fredericton, Saint John & Moncton kicked off my Maritime swing of 'Pedal to the Metal' Tour. The dominion of KC Irving & his capitalist clan might be draped in November grey but I'm digging the colours found in places & faces on a road called home. See you in Nova Scotia next week!
Thanks for filling the Fredericton Playhouse to capacity last night Fredericton! Had a stroll this morning by that ancient artery of a Saint John River, where First People's plied their trade since before the wheel was a rumour, where sits a memorial overlooking those waters, to that dark shadow of our colonial past. Smiling faces greet me in town. A cool coffee shop serves a great Americano. The flag of the Acadians flies over the legislature and Victory Meats serves to satiate the hungry carnivore. The Road keeps giving. Thnx Freddy. On to KC Irving's capital of commerce...Saint John.
Tickets go on sale today at the remarkably cool KINGSTON GRAND THEATRE for the November 12th and 13th filming of our 8th CBC comedy special, airing 9PM December 30th, 2016. It's an entirely new 90 minute show covering the koo-koo year of 2016, where every nation in the world except Canada seemed to be going clear off the rails. From that carnivore's arena of American politics, where democracy was hijacked by a bullshitting, pumpkin faced demagogue, to Justin and Sophie's selfie-struck-post-nation state on the Rideau, we cut a wide satiric swath from past to present, coast to coast and all points in between, looking to connect the dots in the chaos of a year that heralds 150 years of being us. Head to the TOUR SECTION to get your tickets. Pre-sale starts at 12PM September 20th and general tickets go on sale September 23rd at 12PM.

Ron James knows a thing or two about getting laughs.
When it comes to politics, the award-winning comic is especially adept at getting the last laugh.
"I hope (outgoing Prime Minister) Stephen Harper has a lot of recipes for crow because he's going to be eating it for a very long time," said James in a telephone interview.
One of Canada's best-known stand-up comedians, who's bringing his new Pedal To The Metal tour to London Nov. 5 at the Grand Theatre, said it's too early to say how the new Liberal government under Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau will perform.
But it's not too early to celebrate the departure of the Conservatives, whose supporters didn't appreciate James' jokes and rants about Harper and his "right wing, neoconservative dogma."
"I've been in this business a long time and the Liberals could always take a joke, but the Conservatives never could," said James.
"All the meanness and Islamaphobia . . . I'd tell a joke about Harper and his trolls would be all over me on Twitter and Facebook. It's going to be nice to get back to being a lighter Canada. It's also going to be nice to see our scientists being able to do their work using empirical evidence and people not living in fear of losing their jobs because they disagree with neo-Con dogma."
Of course, one could forgive James for his vitriol. It was also the Conservatives whose funding cuts to the CBC resulted in the cancellation of the Ron James Show in 2014 after five years on TV.
But don't expect the Nov. 5 show at the Grand Theatre to be all about politics.
James said it's the job of comics to take hard looks at politicians, but also the rich, the famous, the corporate elite and others.
"I think it's our job to be looking up (for targets) not down at the working people," said James. "It's our job to connect the dots, to be the everyman trying to find his balance on a rapidly changing planet, to poke at the person in the ivory tower."
James said his new show is all new material since he was last here about 18 months ago.
"It's all new, but if you hear something old it's because I'm 58 now and I forgot the new stuff," said James.
His favourite topics include technology and the entertainment options inundating society.
"Netflix is like a digital crack house," said James. "People go on a Netflix binge watching something like The Walking Dead and after 72 hours, forget about watching — you've joined the walking dead."
James, a native of Glace Bay, has been a part of the Canadian comedy scene since the early 1980s when he joined Toronto's Second City.
He then moved to Los Angeles in the early 90s for a few years trying to break into television comedy. He returned to Canada a few years later and used the experience to create the successful stage show, Up & Down in Shaky Town: One Man's Journey through the California Dream.
It was in stand-up comedy James found his niche and he's been touring for the last 20 years, with the occasional stop for television, such as The Ron James Show, not to mention a series of successful CBC specials, such as the one he'll be taping in the coming days that will be aired on CBC on New Year's Eve at 9 p.m.
James said he's also working on a book.
"It's not an autobiography," said James. "It's a series of short stories linked by a common theme of a love of people and place, the experiences I've had over the last 20 years."

Comedian Ron James performs at Showplace Performance Centre on October 25 and 26, which will be recorded as part of a New Year's Eve special on CBC Television
Ron James is one of a rare breed: a successful comedian who chose to stay in Canada to pursue his dream. On October 25th and 26th, Ron will be performing two shows at Showplace in Peterborough as part of his "Pedal to the Metal" tour, and both will be recorded for a New Year's Eve special to air on CBC Television.
When: Sunday, October 25 and Monday, October 26, 2015 at 8 p.m.
Where: Showplace Performance Centre (290 George St. N., Peterborough)
How much: $52
These performances will be recorded for a New Year's Eve Special to be broadcast on CBC Television on Thursday, December 31, 2015.
Tickets are available at the Showplace Performance Centre box office, by phone at 705-742-7469, or onlinewww.showplace.org.
Most of us know Ron from his work in television, whether from Blackfly, Made in Canada, The Ron James Show, or his seven one-hour comedy specials. Ron has won two Canadian Comedy Awards, a Gemini Award for writing onThis Hour Has 22 Minutes, and a Genie Award nomination for best supporting actor.
He's also made guest appearances on TV shows and in movies, done voice work for animated shows, and he's even writing a book to be published next year by Random House.
But all that belies his many years of hard work as a stand-up comedian. As he tells me in a telephone interview from his home in Toronto, he built his career in this country "one kilometre at a time".
Born in 1958 in Glace Bay in Cape Breton, Ron's family moved to Halifax while he was growing up. After graduating from Acadia University, he moved to Toronto in the early 1980s where he joined Second City. In the early 1990s, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. After three years in California, he returned to Toronto where he stayed to raise his two daughters while touring the country to earn his reputation as "the funniest man in Canada."
I ask Ron whether growing up in the Maritimes gave him an edge in his career as a performer.
"I came from a very humorous tribe," he says. "They were great storytellers, my relatives. On my father's side were Newfoundlanders and on my mother's side were Cape Bretoners. As kids, we were always encouraged to stand on a chair and sing a song or tell a story."
"That's where I was funny: in the kitchen or in the classroom or in the schoolyard. I came from that world of black-and-white TV with one channel, so TV wasn't a predominant force then — which is ironic because I've made my living from it."
Despite his innate talent for comedy, Ron's family didn't encourage him to become a comedian.
"Thirty five years ago, becoming a comedian wasn't something that was encouraged, trust me," he laughs. "I might as well have said that I was joining the circus to become a fire-eater."
Perhaps that's one reason why Ron chose to study political science and history at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
As it turns out, he was fortunate to have studied at Acadia during the tenure of the late Evelyn Garbary, a Welsh-born theatre artist and writer. Garbary, who was the university's Director of Drama at the time, was known for instilling the love of theatre arts in her students and she inspired many of them to pursue professional careers in the field.
"She encouraged me," Ron says. "I got into theatre and did a couple of plays. I had this ability to riff and to perform. I'd have these verbal jam sessions in the evening."
When I suggest that history and political science are the polar opposite of comedy, Ron disagrees.
"The arts are all about expression, the arts are all about satire — they all come from that place", he says. "My political science and history degree were very important for what I ended up doing. It's all about tipping the apple cart. Satire is always about looking up. You never look down and satirize, you always look up. It's about speaking the truth to power."
During our conversation, Ron keeps coming back to the idea of the comedian tipping the apple cart. He characterizes this as the "rebel soul", and his own soon emerges when the conversation turns to the federal election.
I love looking down at the front row and seeing three generations of one family laugh at the same joke. That's an achievement, and I'm proud of it. It's my job to bring them all together.
"We've never been under a stronger Orwellian jackboot than we have been for the last eight years," he says. "Just look at how the election has polarized this country. But you can't chastise Stephen Harper for not being honest. He said 'You won't recognize this country when I'm through with it.' There's a politician who told the truth. Because he did, and he changed it irrevocably."
"You have to make a decision. What do you want? Five CUPE members arguing about changing a light bulb in Mulcair's office or five Tory stormtroopers in short pants reading your email?"
While Ron clearly has strong opinions on the matter, he doesn't see his function as a stand-up comedian to be primarily political.
He tells me that American comedians — like Dennis Miller as the voice of the right or Bill Maher as the voice of the left ("the condescending voice of the left, quite frankly") — can afford to alienate half of the U.S. population and still appeal to 160 million people. Not so in Canada, with its population of 33 million.
"Something I've learned on the road is to get the room on the same page," he says. "You try to find subjects that can make everybody feel that we're in this game together."
"It's the comedian's job to negotiate the minefield of opinion and polarities and connect the dots in the chaos we're all walking through, in the language of funny. For the two hours somebody is in my audience, it's my job to make them feel at home, not to make them feel alienated."
Like many Canadian performers before him, Ron did leave the country at one point to pursue the elusive American dream. In the early 1990s, he moved to California to become a cast member inMy Talk Show, a daily parody talk show created by members of Second City.
But the dream didn't last long: the show was cancelled after 59 episodes and Ron found himself living the cliché of a struggling actor trying to make it in L.A.
"To make a long story short, our picture was in Newsweek on Tuesday, we were cancelled on Thursday, and on Monday I was pulling a tree out of Robert Ulrich's front yard with my buddy's pool-digging company."
While Ron did find other acting jobs while in L.A., it was a struggle both professionally and financially. After a year, he decided it was time to pack it in and return with his family to Canada.
"It took a long time to shake it," he recalls. "Sometimes in the cold days of February or March when I'm travelling the flatlands of the Prairies and it's minus forty with this windchill coming down from the Arctic, I remember California."
"But there's a price to pay for paradise. I didn't want to raise my daughters there. My kids started calling George Bush's wife their grandmother. I said no, you're grandmother is a sweet little lady who lives in Halifax. We're going home."
Still, the historically aware comedian has respect for the United States when it comes to the rebel soul.
"America was sired from two revolutions, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, as well as a myriad number of contentious civil rights movements," he says. "It's a country of contention and it's a country where the rebel soul has a place."
"Canada had one rebel, Louis Riel, who the Conservatives hunted down 140 years ago. Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives have ever pardoned the man. You know you've got to be doing something right when Ottawa hates your guts that long."
I ask Ron whether he thinks a comedian's job is easier or harder these days, given how blurry the line has become between satire and reality.
"It's harder to a certain degree, because there's just so much information out there," he replies. "People have so many choices on how to spend their time and money. When it comes to the world, I'm just as confused as the next person. There's so much information coming down the pipe, I expect to look out the front window and see one of the horses of the Apocalypse having a dump on my front lawn."
"What I'm looking for, like anyone, is some semblance of sanity and quiet amidst the cacophony of voices coming down from that Tower of Babel called cyberspace."
Ron relates what his friend, the late author Farley Mowat, once told him about satire.
"I used to visit him when I was down in Peterborough," Ron recalls. "He was a cantankerous sage who did not suffer fools, so I felt honoured he would let me sit and have lunch with him and his lovely wife Claire. I talked to him one day and he said, 'Ronnie, Canadians don't trust satire. So you gotta sneak in the back door and be sitting at the kitchen table before they even know you're in the house.'"
I ask Ron why he chose to record his New Year's Special at Showplace Performance Centre in Peterborough.
"It's the theatre in the country that gave me a hat trick of sold-out shows," he explains. "It's a wonderful, intimate room where I've always heard the soul note singing."
"Because of the content of this show, there's going to be an intimacy. What Lynn Harvey and her company [Enter the Picture Productions Inc.] and the set designers and the production team are going to do at Showplace with visuals is going to knock your socks off."
"Peterborough is a great town," he adds. "It has the best demographic: it has rural close by, it's got Trent University, and it's got a downtown core. I've always had great shows there."
Ron tells me that his performances at Showplace will cut a wide swatch through contemporary culture.
"We've got everything, from whatever's going to happen in the election to the experience of Canadians during the election," he says. "They call it the election of the century, and that's appropriate because it's taken that long. It's about my experiences in the land and the country — I rafted through the Yukon in the summer, down the Firth River to the Beaufort Sea, surrounded by Americans who couldn't say enough good things about the country."
"We look at the American election, too. We dive into the Middle East. We take a look at the fraudulence of celebrity culture, and about the state of the country as a whole. It hits mid life. I tip my hat to the Me Generation as the future."
On the last point, Ron refers to his own two grown daughters.
"My eldest runs a human rights film festival in Glasgow," he says. "She got her masters in film and television. My youngest is at Guelph. They're such wonderful young women. They're inclusive, proactive, enlightened. This generation gets short shrift as being entitled from condescending Baby Boomers — the most entitled generation of all time. We spent the best years of our youth toked up and coked out while boogieing beneath a disco ball in a perm and super-wide flares and platform shoes."
As well as the rebel soul, Ron says the show is about embracing change.
"It's about moving forward, taking a look at the right things, and shirking fear," he says. "You don't want to be defiantly walking backwards to the wrong side of history, proud of your ignorance. But I want people leaving my show with a spring in their step and a smile on their face, rather than thinking the world has gone to hell in a handcart."
My final question for Ron is what motivates him to keep touring, now that he's in his late fifties.
"A mortgage, alimony, and the life force," he laughs.
"I'm so fortunate to actualize my calling in a country where I chose to make my living. I built a career in the country one kilometre at a time. I didn't do it chasing the American dream. I found it here in primal corners of the country. Whether it's around the tip of Lake Superior when some freight train of a wind chill is rattling across the Canadian Shield, or in corners of Victoria B.C., or up in Newfoundland, face to face with 1200 kilos of nostril-drooling ungulate in Gros Morne National Park."
"Or in Peterborough in winter, when I looked out the Holiday Inn window and saw a clown dancing on the sidewalk on a minus thirty day. I watched that clown for a half an hour and I thought 'Ronnie, sure the road can get tedious, but you have no room to complain.'"
But his true motivation is the reaction of the audience as he embraces his rebel soul.
"I love looking down at the front row and seeing three generations of one family laugh at the same joke," he says. "That's an achievement, and I'm proud of it. It's my job to bring them all together. At the same time, you've got to tip the apple cart. You can't be all things to all people. It's important to embrace the rebel soul without losing the room."

Arctic char, caribou antlers, fossilized coral from a Devonian dawn, with a view of The Beaufort Sea atop 'Egigitsiak'. Missing the clear air and the primal hum of Ivvavik National Park, during the 'dog days of summer' in the Big Smoke.
Last post found me on Canada Day, waving my flag from Inuvik, NWT headed for a two week trip down the Firth River through Ivvavik Nat. Park. Its 10,662 square kilometres of primal country home to the 150,000 strong Porcupine Caribou herd, who cross that many kilometres of unforgiving terrain to drop their calves in Spring, through weather that would turn a Yeti back! Its where the haunting cries of peregrine falcons ride the wind and arctic wildflowers, defiant with colour in their shamelessly short shelf life, carpet a rolling tundra that's seen fellow travellers traverse its hills and valleys since a Beringia buffet had wooly mammoth on the menu! 'Ivvavik' means 'birthplace' in Inuvialuit, the tongue of the people from Canada's Western Arctic who won its preservation from oil and mining interests in a land clams settlement. There's some historic irony for ya: the people we stole the country from are the ones who are saving it! Rafting with Neil Hartling's class act of a company, Nahanni & Canadian River Expeditions, this 'bucket list scratch' had me sitting in 10,000 year old tent rings listening to the wind sing a holy soul note while gazing cross a vast and mighty plain where people once pulled a living from with nothing but bone, stone and sinew. That being said, I'm glad I had a couple of Mars bars to stem the 'growlies' cause if I had to depend on filling my stomach that way, I'd of eaten my own thumbs for supper. It was worth every penny and I'd do it again tomorrow.What odds by'?! Life is short. Get out there and marvel cause Canada is some cool!
I kinda look like a French foot soldier on the Plains of Abraham in this outfit but given such a day, wearing the 'funny hat' was a small price to pay for such a humbling and prestigious honour.
During all those years spent chasing a living cross the Big Wide Open, I never EVER figured a boon such as this was on its way. I always felt the greatest reward of 'the work', was having an opportunity to do 'the work' and take it seriously enough to get good at it. Actually making a living doing what I wanted to do, in the country I chose to live, was victory enough.
That being said, I guess its official: I'm a 'doctor' now. So, when someone yells out in a crowded restaurant, subway, or plane- 'Help! Is there a doctor here?! This man is having a heart attack!' I'll be able to say- 'As a matter of fact, I'm a doctor'…and then because I have the skills, I'll run like a monkey.
So here's to all those people I worked with in the 'trenches of funny' over the years: the agents, actors, comedians, writers & producers, particularly Terry McRae of Shantero Productions & Lynn Harvey of ETP. Here's to every audience member seated in the dark, who came to 'lighten their load' and coughed up the coin to fill those rooms that fed my own... here's to friends and family here and 'back home', who kept the faith and 'had my back' in times of need. But most importantly, thanks to my daughters Cayley & Gracie and their mother June, who weathered so many winter nights alone when I was 'on the road'.

Even Ron James isn't sure how his mind processes his standup act when he's on stage.
"It's a mystery to me how it works but it works," the Canadian comedian says. "Your brain, when you're on the stage, is cutting and pasting on the fly. It's moving things around, cells are sliding into the chamber left and right. You're constantly gauging the shifting terrain, at least in my act. You're making these nanosecond decisions 'OK, I'm going to go over here at this point and that's going to work.'"
James returns to the E.A. Rawlinson Centre on March 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $42.86.
The Glace Bay, N.S., product, who has lived in Toronto for most of the last 35 years, says he feels a heightened sense of awareness during his shows.
"It is an intoxicant. It's the life force in full throttle."
His work ethic suggests that he keeps his foot on the gas pedal a lot.
He wrote and starred in Blackfly from 2001-02, creating 26 episodes in two seasons. The Ron James Show had a five-year, 57-episode run between 2009-14.
He also wrote seven 90-minute standup specials.
His upcoming 12-show, three-week-long Pedal To The Metal tour brings him through Western Canada next month. He plays a major concert at Massey Hall in Toronto on April 23.
He is currently writing a book and also does charity work for the Global Poverty Project.
James says he comes by his work ethic honestly.
"I'm a working man. I work. Writing is work," he says. "My father got out there every morning and worked for the telephone company. My uncles worked at the dockyards. My other uncles were in the merchant marines, some were fishermen, some were coal miners. They worked. You have to get behind the mule and plow."
James says he is fortunate that he put the time in when the comedy industry was wide open in Canada, performing in what he calls a "trapline" of soft-seat theatres from coast to coast.
When the recession hit in the U.S., American comedians rediscovered Canada, regularly playing the major cities.
"The job of a comedian is to get on stage and work and make people laugh so it doesn't matter where you're doing it, as long as you're doing it," James says. "Luckily I was able to pour a solid foundation before the marketplace got as busy as it is today."
Even if James was able to maintain his tours as the U.S. acts played here, he's resigned to the fact that they remain the industry standard.
"The great American comedians will always be the litmus test for success and Canadians will always be compared to them," James said. "I like to think that the ones who have sustained themselves over time in this country have worked just as hard. We didn't make as much money but we worked just as hard."
James did chase the dream south of the border, spending three years in L.A. in early '90s. He returned in 1993 after deciding that he wanted to raise his children -- the first of his two kids had just been born -- at home in Canada.
"I've got no mojo to chase the American dream anymore," he says.
Instead, James has concentrated on his TV shows and tours in Canada. He prefers extended runs, although he also does the occasional corporate gig and now plays some casinos too.
James says his show is tightly crafted, although he will riff within the context of his written material. It's an interesting decision for the graduate of The Second City troupe in Toronto, which is known for its improvisational skills.
But he says he owes the preparation to his fans.
"If people have stepped out of their house in a snowstorm or inclement weather and got a babysitter and all those things you have to do in order to see somebody live, they can't see me working on a bit when I'm up there," James says. "It has to be solid."
He is a big proponent of spending as much time performing as possible, saying his stage confidence came over time and allowed his act to slow down.
He also enjoys the moment more. James says that early in his career he approached his sets "like a Mexican welterweight going 13 rounds."
After his first TV special he was told to lighten up and enjoy himself; he now chuckles along with the audience, delighting in the moment and occasionally taking quiet pride in material he comes up with on the fly.
He says a comedian doesn't hit stride until they've been at it 10 or 15 years.
"It's a trade," James says. "You have to hit your thumb with the hammer a few times before you know what you're doing."
He says he's matured as a person as well, losing the constant intensity he had as a younger man.
"Somebody who's on all the time probably isn't on all the time when they're on stage," James says. "Comedy is a very introspective calling. I was a far more frenetic personality in my younger years. I felt that I had to be on all the time."
Twenty years ago he toured with Brent Butt and Jeremy Hotz for Just For Laughs. He remains a huge fan of Hotz, who still works as a full-time standup comedian.
"I've never seen a more bulletproof act in my life. He's great."
James also appreciates Prince Albert comedian Kelly Taylor, who he worked with at a benefit in Winnipeg.
"He's a good cat," James says.
James chuckles when he says that once you get the life you want, you'll never have a life. Even the TV shows had a nonstop cycle of writing, acting and promoting.
"I was lucky but I worked for it too. Nobody handed it to me," he says. "And they still don't. You never really get a chance to sit back and watch the river run. It's all about work."
James says he hopes that when the audience leaves the theatre, that they'll feel like he carried their load for a while by making them laugh.
It's part of the motivation that keeps him writing new material. He suggests the road takes no prisoners and that comedy doesn't suffer fools kindly.
"You always have to be feeding the machine," he says. "You can't keep coming on the road with the same act you've been dragging for the past 15 years. You have to change it up. All it takes is one bad set for the word to get around that you're not putting your heart into it."
James says that fame has become perverse in its validity in the age of reality TV stars and Internet sensations. While he jokes that fame in Canada means drinking for free north of the tree line, his take on celebrity isn't of the 15-minute variety.
"Longevity is what matters. Seeing people in a theatre laughing, that's what matters. That's fame."
Ron James will be joining the 2015 Victoria Films Festival's 'In Conversation With...' at The Vic Theatre on February 7th @ 11:30AM. Check out the article in the TIMES COLONIST:
VICTORIA FILM FESTIVAL OPENING GALA EVOKES 1940s CLUB
Michael D. Reid / Times Colonist
January 13, 2015 03:03 PM
The older the Victoria Film Festival gets, the further back in time its organizers seem to be going to celebrate its annual opening gala.
Last year, opening nighters celebrated at a 1960s-New York-themed bash that saw a building on Johnson Street transformed into a multi-levelled retro playground, with groovy costumed revellers moving past swing dancers and mini-skirted models through theme rooms.
For its 21st birthday celebration on Feb. 6, the festival is venturing back two decades earlier, to the era when stars such as Rita Hayworth, Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart were top draws at the cinema.
Festival director Kathy Kay admits the decision to transform the historic Promis Building at 1008 Government St. into a 1940s nightclub energized by a 35-piece big band was made on a whim.
"A while ago, I thought I'd try and theme these things to the opening movie, but it just became too hard to do that," said Kay. "So this year, I just thought of what might be the most fun."
Kay said she was thrilled the festival was able to book the Naden Band, which most recently packed the Royal Theatre with a series of three Christmas concerts benefiting the Salvation Army.
"[Businessman] Richard Holmes just renovated the space, with these amazing exposed brick walls and beams and high ceilings, and McLaren's Lighting is putting chandeliers in, so it's going to look pretty skookum," she said.
Tuxedo-clad waiters, cigarette girls and other retro touches will complement the bash following the opening-gala film Boychoir, starring Dustin Hoffman as an East Coast choirmaster.
Kay confirmed guests so far include comedians Ron James and Mark McKinney, "who will both be smart and funny, I'm sure" when they take the stage for this year's "In Conversation With" forums at the Vic; director Sturla Gunnarsson, here to present his new documentary Monsoon; Alberta filmmaker Kyle Thomas (The Valley Below); and Sydney Freeland, whose Sundance-featured film Drunktown's Finest, about three young Navajo characters struggling to move beyond life on the reservation, makes its B.C. première.
Other guests include Nika Belianina, whose documentary Eccentric Eclectic makes its world première; and Tennis Pro, the Seattle indie band featured in John Jeffcoat's documentary Big in Japan.
Organizers are also hoping Boychoir director Francois Girard, the Quebec director best known for The Red Violin, will be able to make the opening gala.
Significantly, the festival is expanding its horizons to Sidney this year — a move Kay says was driven by popular demand.
"We've been out there before but it's been a while," she said. "When we decided not to keep going there we got a lot of emails and people dropping by. They really did lobby us."
Both Sidney's Star Cinema and Mary Winspear Centre will be venues this year, for the screening of eight evening and four matinée films.
Family Day programs on Feb. 9, notably the Jammies and Cartoons event, will also take place at Mary Winspear Centre's Charlie White Theatre.
The Victoria International Airport also got on board this year, said Kay, noting it is sponsoring the screening of Seventy-One Years, Nick Versteeg's Avro Anson L 7056 aircraft documentary.
Other notable highlights, unveiled at the festival's recent pre-fest launch at Parkside Hotel and Spa, include three new programs focusing on French Canadian, indigenous and South Asian films. Another is the new BravoFACT Pitch Contest hosted by industry pioneer Pat Ferns, with five filmmakers given an opportunity to pitch their short films and possibly receive $35,000.
The 2015 FilmCAN winners were also announced at the launch party. Olivia Wheeler collected the senior category grand prize for her documentary Expectations. In the junior category, Julie Robinson, Meaghan Power-Politt and Angelina Shandro accepted the grand prize for their group's collaborative project 9 Lives.
Tickets to all festival films and programs are now available online, and at the festival's box-office, 1215 Blanshard St. As always, a festival membership is required.
Many of the most popular attractions sell out quickly, especially the opening gala. For more information call 250-389-0444 or go to victoriafilmfestival.com
3000 foot 4 hour climb to top of Torres del Paine. I had to take the American Pledge of Allegiance to hold the flag. Might be a problem getting back into Canada but after I took it, I stopped saying 'sorry' as a greeting.

Using Multimedia to Enrich Science Content
I have worked very intentionally to include a variety of learning styles within my science lessons. Certainly some are easier to incorporate than others. With the increased accessibility and ease of use that the latest technology brings, there are some fabulous things that can be created by students. Check out this example of a Simple Machine Scavenger Hunt. This video inspired me to create similar videos in my own classroom. I hope it will inspire you too.

Issue: Ready-to-use employee training materials flood the Internet.
Risk: Your supervisors create liability risks by distributing videos, books or handouts without first vetting them for offensive content.
Action: Review such training materials when possible. Ask supervisors to do the same. Urge them to pass along any complaints to you.
You can't personally review every book, video or training material that supervisors distribute to employees. But it's wise to review as much of those materials as possible for appropriateness and legally dangerous sections. Advise supervisors to do the same. Then be ready to respond immediately to employee complaints.
That advice multiplies in importance because of the huge amount of ready-to-use training manuals, pre-hire tests and other materials available on the Internet, CD-ROM and video. It's easy, and legally dangerous, to dispense information to employees without actually vetting it first.
Case in point: A supervisor gave a book on business attire to his African-American sales rep, who found certain passages offensive. Example: "Blacks selling to whites should never wear Afro hairstyles ... If you are Hispanic, avoid hair tonic that tends to give a greasy or shiny look."
The employee complained to the HR director, who took back the book but never mentioned the issue to the supervisor. The employee quit and filed a race-discrimination claim. Because the company's actions essentially condoned the distribution of racially offensive material, the Pennsylvania commission sided with the employee and awarded him $614,000. (Brooks v. Viacom Inc., No. 200027223, PHRC, 2005)
Final tips: If an employee voices concern about the content of any handouts, pull the content, review it and discipline the supervisor, if necessary.

Shortly after the passing of Hustle Gang's Doe B, we have more unfortunate news concerning rap affiliates. Waka Flocka's younger brother, Kayo Redd, who was also an aspiring rapper, has passed away.
There are not many details at this time, however it has been reported that Kayo took his own life yesterday, December 29th. Both his mother, Debra Antney, and his brother, Waka Flocka, have taken to Twitter confirming these reports. Waka released a short video montage of his brother. We'll update you once more details emerge.
It's been two years since another close friend and affiliate of Waka passed, Slim Dunkin.

Media mogul Sumner Redstone puts the business in show business through National Amusements. What began as a humble drive-in theater operation evolved into a powerhouse that controls just under 80% of media giants Viacom and CBS Corporation. Redstone, the controlling stockholder of National Amusements, is chairman of Viacom and CBS Corporation. True – more... to its roots, National Amusements also operates Showcase Cinemas, Multiplex Cinemas, and Cinema de Lux branded theaters -- about 950 screens total -- in the US, the UK, and Latin America. National Amusements additionally operates IMAX theaters in the US and Argentina, and is a partner in online ticketing service MovieTickets.com.
National Amusement has theaters in six US states, including Connecticut, Massacheussets, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Internationally, it has theaters in Argentina, Brazil, England, Scotland, and Whales. Four of its US locations and one Argentina location feature IMAX theaters. Six of its locations also feature Chatters Bar & Grill, a full service restaurant. In addition to standard cinema fare, several locations feature live, high-definition sports broadcasting, as well as live stand-up comedy and music.
While its theater operations continue to attract movie-goers, the company sold off several locations in 2010 and 2009, using the proceeds from the sales to help make a dent in its debt. (Previously, National Amusements was charged with some $1.46 billion worth of loans.) In 2010 it sold its Russian movie theater chain consisting of six theaters to Shari Redstone (daughter of Sumner and president and minority shareholder of National Amusements). Shari joined with a private equity firm in order to make the acquisition. And in late 2009 the company sold about 30 theaters to Dallas-based exhibitor Rave Cinemas.
National Amusements also raised funds to help resolve its debt problems by selling shares. In 2009 it sold nearly $1 billion in stock. And in previous efforts to shed non-core assets, in 2008 it sold its 87% stake in videogame company Midway Games. National Amusements' money-losing investment in Midway, in combination with the over-expansion of its movie theater chain, had caused banks to want their loan paid off. – less

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hi There,
Firstly thanks for a great control. Secondly, I hope someone is listening. I have what I believe to be the latest version of this except I have a problem (and I can see the problem in the 1.1 download).
If I create an appointment that is only 15 minutes at any half an hour position (ie 8:30 or 9:30) the appointment does not show correctly. It only takes up a small amount of space.
Same if you move/drag an appointment you will see it grow and shrink in size as it crosses the 30 minute slots (This is on a 4 slots per hour setting).
Surely I am not the only one to see this.
Please help!
Kind regards,
Found the solution on my own. Don't fully understand the options but on the properties for the control there is a setting called:
AppHeightMode. I set this to TrueHeightAll and that fixed it.

What Dad Really Wants for Father's Day
Every year I text my dad to ask what he wants for Father's Day, and every year I get the same answer. Barbecue sauce. He's so low maintenance! We've got some other gift ideas too, in case your pops aims a little higher.
All of the stores this time of year seem to set the screwdriver sets and desk-sized, mini pool tables out in the center aisles so we will either trip over them or buy them for our dads for Father's Day. But do dads really want this stuff?
USA Today says these are the 5 Things Dad really wants for Father's Day:
1. To watch the US Open in peace
2. A day off
3. A steak and a cold beer
4. To spend time with the kids
5. A thank you
For dads who have shared custody after a divorce, spending time with the kids would be the highest priority I'm sure. And if that's combined with a steak, a beer, and a thank you, that's even better.
Barbecue sauce didn't make that list, and it's not on the Huffington Post's list of the 5 tech gifts to boost dad's activities either. Those ideas for gadgets include:
1. For Sporty Dads: A Wearable Fitness Tracker
2. For Grillmaster Dads: A Durable and Portable Speaker
3. For Home Improvement Happy Dads: A Smart Home Assistant
4. For Travel Happy Dads: A Portable Powerstation
5. For Garage Happy Dads: A Speaker To Amp Up His Workbench
All more expensive than condiments.
On Mother's Day we usually go out for lunch or brunch so Mom doesn't have to cook, but on Father's Day, I've noticed that Dad actually wants to cook and can't wait to get out there by the grill. Okay! Father's Day is all about doing something he loves and since that's grilling, it works out well for all of us. Dad gets to grill and we get to eat.
All of the gift ideas in the world can come our way, and ultimately it comes down to what our dads would really enjoy, and we know them best. Whether it's some shiny new wrenches, a 6-pack, barbecue sauce, or another polo, thanks dads for being awesome. Happy Grilling Day.

Original paper
Soil erosion processes and sediment fluxes in a Mediterranean marl landscape, Campina de Cadiz, SW Spain
Faust, Dominik; Schmidt, Michael
Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, NF Volume 53 Issue 2 (2009), p. 247 - 265
published: Jun 17, 2009
ArtNo. ESP022005302005, Price: 29.00 €
Marl landscapes, especially in the Mediterranean, show evident traces of high present-day and past soil erosion rates. The tendency to develop hillslope channels leads even at moderate rainstorm magnitudes to a significant increase of slope-to-slope connectivity, resulting in high amounts of mass transfer from upper parts of the hillslopes towards footslopes and valleyfloors. To analyse the intensity of this transfer a study was conducted focussing on late Holocene sediments correlative to modern-time soil erosion in the marl landscape of SW Spain. Based on field observations and sediment analysis several landscape positions within a medium-scale catchment were explored. Depending on landscape constellation, the sediment characteristics reflect the influence of past processes at this position, referring to either hillslope processes or alluvial processes or an interchange of them. For a temporal context a method to trace young sediments by analysing nutrients originating from modern-time application of mineral fertiliser was applied. Results show high rates of sedimentation (> 1 cm/year) for this period in several profiles. By identifying the predominant geomorphic components and processes in the study area a conceptual model of the studied system was developed.

T. E. Lawrence's Correspondence with the Political Elite 1922-1935, copy #376, an out-of-series issue of the publisher's finely bound full goatskin limited edition
Salisbury: Castle Hill Press, 2015. First and limited edition. Leather bound. This is an out-of-series copy of the publisher?s full goatskin limited edition of T. E. Lawrence's Correspondence with the Political Elite, spanning 1922-1935. This volume is a vital installment in the T.E. Lawrence Letters series published by Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publishers of material by and about T.E. Lawrence. The edition was limited to 427 copies, of which the first 50 were bound thus for subscribers, in full gray goatskin with gilt spine print, blind front cover rules, all edges gilt, head and tail bands, illustrated endpapers, and gilt ruled turn-ins, featuring a frontispiece illustration of Lionel Curtis by Augustus John and an index, and housed in a stout gray cloth slipcase, lined with red felt. Subscriber?s full goatskin copies were also unique in content, these alone featuring a 16-page Supplement following the Index. Owing to a salutary mistake by the binder, a few sets of sheets destined for cloth bindings were instead bound in full goatskin. Hence this copy, hand-numbered ?376?. Apart from the absence of the Supplement and higher limitation number, this copy is identical to the subscriber?s full goatskin bindings, which quickly sold out. We offer this out of series full goatskin bindings at 60% of the price for which we have sold full goatskin subscriber?s copies. From the publisher: "Many of T.E. Lawrence's contemporaries found it incomprehensible that, while serving in the ranks as Aircraftman T.E. Shaw, he should remain on friendly terms with members of the political elite, some of whom he had known while advising Winston Churchill in the Colonial Office. There was surely a contradiction between these continuing relationships and his rejection of social status." Among the letters published in this volume are 10 letters from Lawrence to his friend and admirer Winston Churchill, spanning 1922-1935, as well as Lawrence's inscription in Churchill's copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a 1927 letter from Churchill to Lawrence, and significant correspondence with Eddie Marsh, Churchill's longtime private secretary. Churchill said of his friend: ?Lawrence had a full measure of the versatility of genius?  He was a savant as well as a soldier.  He was an archaeologist as well as a man of action.  He was an accomplished scholar as well as an Arab partisan. He was a mechanic as well as a philosopher.  His background of somber experience and reflection only seemed to set forth more brightly the charm and gaiety of his companionship, and the generous majesty of his nature.?  (Great Contemporaries, p. 166) Much of Lawrence?s polymath genius scintillates in this correspondence volume. ?The correspondents (in alphabetical order) are Nancy Astor, Tory MP for Plymouth Sutton; John Buchan, writer and Unionist MP for the Combined Scottish Universities; Winston Churchill and his Private Secretary Edward Marsh; Lionel Curtis, Fellow of All Souls, editor of the Round Table, and one of the founding organisers of the Royal Institute of International Affairs; Geoffrey Dawson, Fellow of All Souls and Editor of The Times; Lord Lothian, Cabinet Minister, and Ernest Thurtle, the Labour MP for Shoreditch who was responsible, with Lawrence's help, for the abolition of the death penalty for cowardice in the British Army. There are strong contrasts here - for example between the light-hearted letters to Nancy Astor (reminiscent in tone to those he had written to E.T. Leeds before the war), and the deeply introspective letters to Lionel Curtis... Here are his letters to Winston Churchill, his former chief at the Colonial Office, together with less formal letters to Eddie Marsh. The letters to Ernest Thurtle hint at his experience manipulating the political machine. Given the circumstances and the personalities involved, the collection is extraordinary - as are the public tributes paid to Lawrence after his death.? This pristine, as-new copy was acquired by us from the publisher.

CNC Vector speed4/26
In contemplating cnc machines will a 100m/min vector speed vs. 68m/min have a material effect over a years production?
100m/min is really flying, a typical cut is way slower, in the neighborhood of 10, 20 or 30 m/min for one two or 3 flute tools respectively at around 18Krpm. So by vector speed you must be referring to no load rapid travel. This is most often used in going from park to start, finish back to park between cuts and the bigger one, tool changes.
Thanks for your response Mark. A little more info. We run parts on the CNC, it's not a nested machine. We are also higher volume, running the machine around 35-40 hours a week with anticipation of even increasing the hours in the near future. I realize the vector speed is the no load travel speed and just wondering over the course of a year if the difference in the vector speed will add up like throwing change in a jar or if it is really negligable.
If you are running that much, It is worth doing a time study to see just what kind of benefit you are looking at. I nest myself, so I have less of a gut feel for your situation, but likely a setup like yours does fewer tool changes but does a home run for each part. Perhaps you can figure your total distance traveled per typical part cycle and use 100m/minute to gauge your rapid time per cycle? This ignores acceleration of course, but it is a place to start. Do you pendulum process or load while idle? how many cycles per day?
If a cycle with loading took X seconds and you gain 1 second per part......Lots to think about. I doubt it would be the most important factor in choosing a new machine, but not irrelevant either.
Thanks for your response Mark. Your last line hits the mark. "Not the most important factor, but not irrelevant either"
Does anyone have any more accurate data on this? Say for an "average" sheet of cabinet parts for frameless MDF with blind dado, shelf/hinge and pilot holes.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former Iranian president, has thrown his name in the ring for the country's upcoming elections.
In a move that could greatly influence the electoral playing field — which is made up largely of "principlists" loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini — relatively moderate Rasanjani registered as a candidate just before Saturday's deadline.
The 78-year-old politician led Iran from 1989 to 1997, and is expected to pull support from his loyalists and reformists for backing the opposition movement that was tamped down after 2009's hotly disputed election, the country's last.
Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, an aide to outgoing leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also registered to run at the last minute. He is expected to be a favorite among Ahmadinejad supporters.
Saeed Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, has put in registration for the landmark elections as well, which are slated for June 14.
Though over 400 candidates have registered, the supreme-leader-controlled Guardian Council makes final decisions on who can stand for elections.
"With so many wild cards now in the game, the fate of the election is now concealed in a smoke screen," US-based Iranian elections expert Yasmin Alem told Reuters.
The elections come at a crucial time for Iran, which is under international pressure and scrutiny over its nuclear arms program, including threats of attack from Israel.

The over-arching message of the 2015 OECD Economic Survey of Italy is straight forward: 'a lot done, a lot more to do'. OECD Secretary-General shared some of the main findings.
We therefore need a "copernician" change in our approach to the growth – inequality nexus: let's not think growth first, and inequality thereafter but let's consider both of them, together, in their circularity. In other words, let's think "Inclusive Growth", right from the start, and let's make it another touchstone of our efforts and complement the Pittsburgh tryptic of strong, sustainable and balanced growth!
Going for Growth is the OECD's flagship report on structural policies. The purpose of Going for Growth is to help governments setting a reform agenda to improve citizens' well-being. It has been instrumental in helping G20 countries to develop growth strategies to raise their combined gross domestic product (GDP) by 2% over baseline projections by 2018 – as agreed by G20 Leaders in Brisbane last year.
Belgium is one of the few euro area countries where GDP has already surpassed pre-crisis levels. Also, general well-being is above the average of OECD countries. When looking at the various dimensions of well-being – economic, social or environmental – Belgium has a strong performance in almost all of them. Remarkably, despite the crisis, income inequality has remained relatively low compared to other OECD countries.
Estonia was among the countries hardest hit by the crisis, but it is bouncing back strongly. Nonetheless, Estonia is still a 'catch-up country', with some distance to travel before it closes the income gap with top-performing OECD countries.
Angel Gurría has presented President Santos with our report "Colombia: Policy Priorities for Inclusive Development". This report supplements the Economic Survey of Colombia released on 19 January, reflecting the close co-operation between the OECD and the Colombian Government in designing the National Development Plan 2014-2018, which seeks to bring about a Colombia where there is peace, greater equity and better education.
Africa has made significant progress in recent years but important challenges to African development remain that we can break down into three linked areas. Let's call them the "three i's": interconnectedness, investment, and inclusiveness.
Seven years on from the financial crisis, and we are still dealing with its legacies: low growth is slowly picking up; unemployment, despite moving in the right direction remains stubbornly high, especially in the euro area; and income inequality, which was already rising, has worsened.
Quiero abrir con un reconocimiento al Gobierno de México por haber impulsado el paquete de reformas estructurales más extenso y ambicioso que hemos registrado en tiempos recientes. Después de muchos años de parálisis reformadora, en tan sólo dos años México se convirtió en el país con la actividad de reformas más alta de los 34 países de la OCDE.
Es un placer estar aquí para presentar el informe de la OCDE sobre las prácticas de contratación pública de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). Este informe ha sido elaborado en colaboración con la Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (CFCE) y el Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad (IMCO), a quienes agradezco su apoyo y sus contribuciones.

Mac OS X 10.6.2 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 Performance
We have published an extensive set of tests comparing the performance of Mac OS X 10.6.2 against a development build of Ubuntu 10.04. This is our first time exploring how Canonical's Lucid Lynx can compete with Apple's Snow Leopard.
We started by looking at the OpenGL gaming performance between Mac OS X 10.6.2 and Ubuntu 10.04. One of the rumored big areas of improvement for Mac OS X 10.6.3 will be with the graphics drivers, but for now, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the latest proprietary Linux driver is outperforming the Cupertino OS. Ubuntu 10.04 was running significantly faster than Mac OS X 10.6.2 when at 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 1024. Once the resolution was pushed beyond this limit, the results were much closer where at 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1080 the frame-rates were virtually the same.
With OpenArena, Lucid Lynx started out the fastest

Munster v Ospreys, Magners League semi-final, May 14
Ospreys target Munster upset
ESPNscrum Staff
May 13, 2011
Ospreys skipper Alun-Wyn Jones meets some resistance from the Munster defence earlier in the season © PA Photos
Munster will continue their search for silverware on Saturday when they welcome the Ospreys to Thomond Park in the second Magners League play-off semi-final.
Irish rivals Leinster and Ulster go at it in Dublin on Friday, but the atmosphere will be just as tense as Munster, who finished the regular season as runaway league leaders, have not seen eye-to-eye with the Ospreys in recent years.
The teams have already met on four occasions this season, with Munster holding the wood over their rivals after coming out on top three times. The Ospreys cannot be discounted however, and Leinster fans will remember well their victory in last year's inaugural Grand Final at the RDS.
Both teams endured Heineken Cup heartache at the hands of Toulon and have pinned their hopes on the league, with the Ospreys sneaking into the top four on the last day of the season thanks to an uninspiring win over Aironi and Cardiff Blues' end-of-season capitulation. The Welsh region will hope to follow in the footsteps of Harlequins, who smashed Munster at Thomond Park in the semi-finals of the Amlin Challenge Cup two weeks ago.
Munster - Player to Watch: Paul O'Connell lives and breathes Munster and his leadership will be vital as they seek to avoid a repeat of their Quins slump.
Munster - Team News: O'Connell returns to the second-row while Donnacha Ryan shifts to blindside, displacing Denis Leamy. Youngster Danny Barnes starts at outside-centre, alongside Lifeimi Mafi, with Keith Earls joining Doug Howlett and Felix Jones in the back-three. Exeperienced props Marcu Horan and John Hayes start.
Ospreys - Player to Watch: This could be the last time we see James Hook in an Ospreys jersey and the mercurial playmaker will doubtless want to sign off in style, whether it be this weekend or in the final.
Ospreys - Team News: Shane Williams has failed to make a comeback from injury, leaving Nikki Walker to fill in on the wing, while in the back-row there is a start for Justin Tipuric at openside. The Waikato-bound Marty Holah starts on the bench alongside Jerry Collins, who has missed out on a starting spot to blindside Ryan Jones and No.8 Jonathan Thomas. Wantaway scrum-half Mike Phillips fails to make the 22.
Key Battle: The one area where the Ospreys will expect to have dominance is at the scrum, where Munster have struggled recently. Paul James and Adam Jones are arguably the best scrummaging props in the league and Munster will be wary of letting the visitors get on top.
Trivia: Munster topped the Magners League table from round two until last week's final set of matches and have lost once since November on the domestic front.
Stats: The Ospreys have beaten Munster on their own track just twice in 11 visits.
Quote Unquote:
"We knew the format setting out. We'd set our sights initially on a home semi-final so as to give ourselves the best possible chance to win the title. We've achieved that. We'll take this as a single game. It's a stepping stone to winning a trophy." - Munster hooker Damien Varley
"It's been an up and down time, a bit of a roller coaster, but every team has peaks and troughs over the course of a season, that's inevitable. It's always going to be the case. We've had some pretty good peaks, and over 22 games we've earned a place in the play-offs and we don't want to waste that hard work and effort now." - Ospreys director of coaching Scott Johnson
Prediction: While the Ospreys will come out swining, Munster are unlikely to suffer Thomond Park stage fright twice this season. Home win.
