How does an insecure person become a good manager? Is it possible?

We need to talk about where this relationship is going, boss.
I've been at a new position for six months after moving from another state and twelve years in my previous job. I was offered a position that gave me a swell title, more responsibility, and the respect I never got from my previous boss. This new job was fundamentally created for me in that the position hasn't existed at this company in years and years, but my boss was hiring me away from a major competitor, so they re-opened it just for me. Here's the rub: because it's been so long since they had anyone in this position, the responsibilities are definitely...fluid. Like I feel like no one knows what to do with me. Or they are waiting for me to tell them what I will be doing. [more inside]
I recently accepted a promotion. Awesome. The problem is, my old boss has subsequently put a moratorium on people leaving my current department for 3 months. We are desperately short on resources, so I am sympathetic to his predicament, but at the same time, I am very bothered by a few things: 1) Since I accepted the offer, he has piled more work on my plate that he expects me to finish regardless of how long it takes. This would include projects that spill over the 3 month moratorium. 2) I spoke to him about applying for this new position before he announced this policy and he never mentioned a thing. He always mentioned we would do a 'transition plan', which if you read point 1, doesn't sound like any type of transition plan. He announced this policy 1 day after I was extended an offer. 3) The promotion is a $15k jump in compensation. I will be seeing none of that for 3 months because of this policy. [more inside]
Midlife crisis: Suggestions for a career path out of media?
I'm nearly 40 years old and by some measures, successful. I graduated from a top university and have been employed by major companies for nearly 20 years of my professional life. I've grown increasingly dissatisfied with my chosen career though, and I was hoping some of the wise minds here could give me some advice. Details follow. [more inside]
Should I apply to be the new boss? Yikes!
A new management role has been created at my large nonprofit workplace. Thanks to some restructuring, I (a mid-level person with no management responsibilities) will be reporting to the person in this new position. I am considering applying for it. The new job is directly related to what I do. I have excellent understand of the culture and the organization (very important for this new role), but the new position would be a stretch for me in terms of experience, especially management experience. Should I apply? Also, can you offer advice on how I can approach this opportunity with more confidence and go-for-it-ness? Details within! [more inside]
6 Month Old Promotion Never Finalized Before Layoffs
I accepted a new position at my company with the caveat that it would take a significant amount of time to have the new position, and significant promotion, finalized by HR. It is in the same department as my previous position, but with a new direct boss (I work for a VP now, rather than a manager). I've excelled, despite the significantly higher amount of work, responsibility, and visibility to the higher-ups in the rest of the company. However, company wide layoffs (~90% of my building) were announced to occur at the end of the summer, and now I'm at a loss how to depict this on my resume. [more inside]

How do I move without losing my job?
In two years I'll be graduating with a master's in internal systems auditing and control. I've never worked with an accounting firm before because my first degree is in English, but I wanted to set myself up to be able to move easily. Would I have to quit my job in order to move or would I have to hope that I get transferred to said location? [more inside]

Is having a full-time job while attending college a good thing?
Hired in 2 years ago as part-time help, promoted to key-holder, and now offered to opportunity to go higher up. Is a job promotion and the increased pay that comes with it worth delaying the amount of time it takes to complete post-secondary education? Really making money and going to school, are they compatible/desirable? How would taking a salaried job affect financial aid available to me? [more inside]

Hire Me
What blogs / sites make you say "I want to hire this guy!". What is it about those sites that makes you say this? If and when my next employment search comes up, I would like to have a web presence that gives prospective employers a window into my work, thoughts, outlook, etc. I am looking for blogs that do a great job at selling the author to potential employers. I am interested in content but also the sites presentation and functionality. I am more interested in business related blogs rather than designer / portfolio types sites, but will take all comers. Blogs that incorporate photos of the author would be a bonus. Help me find examples of great personal salesmanship on the web.

I'd like to give my year notice, please.
My employer is impressed enough with my work that they want to promote me into a position which would ordinarily make for a great career move. I, however, am planning on leaving in a little over a year to earn a degree in a completely different field, and thus have no interest in the job (for reasons explained after the jump.) How do I diplomatically tell them no without jeopardizing my current position, and how much, if any, of my future plans do I mention to them? [more inside]

Corporate Rockstar
How do I become a cubicle king and a boardroom baron? How do I become a corporate rockstar? I am in a typical corporate office environment and am wondering why certain people climb the corporate ladder and others do not. What techniques and tactics have you personally applied to move ahead? I am looking for things related to work ethic, communication, self-promotion, appearance, relationships, use of technology, methodology, GTD, etc. Do you send emails late at night to appear to be working late? Do you suck-up to the CEO's personal assistant? Or do you simply work your ass off and get sh*t done? Take me from the mailroom to the boardroom.

There has been a lot of buzz about a Firefox add-on named Firesheep. I have kind of ignored the topic for some time, but after getting a few emails from Firefox users asking what it is about – I thought it might be time to shed some light on the topic – so that all Firefox users know it is out there. Firesheep snoops fro cookies, and then allows others to log into websites as you if you are browsing on an open wireless network.

Firefox Vulnerability Isn't a Threat (Maybe)?
There is a kind of major security threat that isn't really a threat but it is and yeah, I am very confused. Instead of trying to explain things I'll share with you the information as I got it.
Ronald van den Heetkamp says that he found a vulnerability that effects all versions of Firefox (even the most recent 126.96.36.199 update). Found out about this over at Mozilla Links.
Then I go check out Asa's blog to see what he is saying about it, and he writes:
This news item on /. and making the rounds on some blogs is not real. It's not a flaw. This guy's found a way to read a file that doesn't contain any personal information and that's identical for every Firefox install on the planet. It's simply not a flaw.
His post then points me over to Mike Shaver's post who does a better job at explaining the situation. It turns out that the vulnerability found does not have access to the user's setting at all. The files are not stored in the Windows program files (or any other operating system's equivalent for that mater). Check out his post to see Ronald and Mike discuss the topic on on one via the comments for more information.
I love the Internet.
Could Extensions Hurt You?
Extensions that auto-update? Yeah, there could be a threat there and we aren't sure when a fix is coming.
This is actually a threat that I had considered once or twice before – but it seems like it is getting a little more "conversation" around the Web this time around. For the best description on what this security hole is all about – lets turn to CyberNet News.
So what's the problem? When using an extension in Firefox it frequently checks to see if there is a more updated version available, and Firefox will notify the user whether they are running the latest version. Normally the user will agree to the update and proceed with their normal browsing activities, but there could be more going on behind the scenes than the user is actually aware of.
Looks like Firefox isn't looking to fix this yet till version 3 of the browser rolls out. Folks like Google though have promised to fix any issues with their extensions as soon as they can. All we can hope is that others will follow suit.
Password Manager Bug
Well it looks like the good times train has made a stop in bug city! I have no doubt though that the Mozilla folks will get this one squashed as soon as possible. Till then, it is always good to know the facts.
Today, Mozilla made public bug #360493, which exposes Firefox's Password Manager on many public sites. The flaw derives from Firefox's willingness to supply the username and password stored on one page on a domain to another page on a domain. For example, username/password input tags on a Myspace user's site will be unhelpfully propagated with the visitor's Myspace.com credentials.

Mozilla Patches Firefox
Have you updated your version of Firefox yet?
Mozilla Corp. Thursday updated its Firefox browser to fix 7 flaws, including 4 pegged by the open-source developer as "Critical." Of the four critical vulnerabilities patched in Firefox 220.127.116.11, none are currently being exploited, Mozilla said in detailed descriptions of each fixed flaw. In fact, Mozilla said in several of the descriptions that it was not sure whether the specific vulnerabilities could be exploited, but had issued patches just in case.
Spyware Poses as Firefox Extension
Well this is an interesting piece of news for the day. This is one of those things that you thought were bound to happen, but it doesn't mean you have to be happy about it.
Virus writers have created a spyware package that poses as an extension to the Firefox web browser. FormSpy, which poses as the legitimate NumberedLinks 0.9 extension, is programmed to steal confidential information from compromised machines including passwords, credit card numbers, and ebanking login details. The malware is also capable of sniffing passwords from ICQ, FTP, and email traffic before sending this data to a hacker-controlled website.

Network-embedded self-tuning cavity for WDM-PON transmitter |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 4, pp. 3781-3786 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2336 KB)
A network-embedded self-tuning cavity is proved in wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network transmission over 32 channels. The external source-less topology takes advantage of a reflective element at the remote node and a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier at the optical network unit to establish a distribution-fiber based cavity. The bit error rate performance of up to 5-km cavities is presented with two optical network units simultaneously operating and with downstream signal co presence. The experimental analysis at 1.25 Gb/s provides an evaluation of polarization dependences when exploiting low polarization dependent gain reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers with 25-km and 50-km standard single mode fiber transmission.

This bill requires the public health commissioner to designate up to 10 municipalities as targeted health areas (THAs) and specifies that physicians and physician offices there are eligible for loans and grants under the Small Business Express Program (Express).
EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon passage
DESIGNATING THAs
The bill requires the public health commissioner to designate, by December 1, 2013, and within available appropriations, up to 10 municipalities as THAs, in consultation with the social services commissioner and a representative of the Connecticut State Medical Society. The commissioner may designate a municipality as a THA if it has a (1) medically underserved population or (2) high chronic disease rate. Further, she and the parties with whom she must consult must identify any medical specialty needed in the THAs.
The bill specifies that licensed physicians and physician offices in THAs qualify for Express financing if they meet one of two sets of criteria. Under the first set, a physician or physician offices qualify if they practice medicine in a THA and actively provide (1) primary care for adults or children or (2) any medical specialty the commissioner determines the THA needs. The physician must also be current on all state and local taxes and be in good standing with the Public Health Department.
As under existing law, a physician qualifies for Express financing if she or he:
1. employs no more than 100 people during the prior 12 months,
2. is based and operates in Connecticut,
3. has been registered to do business here for at least 12 months,
4. is current on all state and local taxes, and
5. is in good standing with all state agencies.

Trip to Barcelona
A Mountain Biking video by FICTION WEAR - 3,040 views
Video "memory" about our trip to Barcelona with Petr Andreev. Shooting on steadicam half and half with gopro on my head. Therefore, the frames is mostly with Petr and my hands. Riding in a steep dirt- park LaPoma, but also to travel, shisha everywhere and drown gopro we were able to. Riding didn't go at first as well. My brake got broken, I fell down and was very upset. I had to get used to riding without a brake once again. When I got used to it, I managed to film a couple of my stupid tricks on gopro. The main Peter's tricks were filmed just hours before the flight. Hope you'll enjoy them! *from Ivan Andrianov (fiction team)

Those of you who are new around these parts might take this piece as a bit of an over-reaction to Chris Perez's blown save against the Rays heading into the All-Star break.
So let me reassure you: I've wanted to trade Chris Perez for some time now, it's just that no one would listen to me what with the long hair and the Prodigy song and the overall ninth inning dominance he's displayed this year. This is my one chance to at least make the argument before you throw me off the internet for good. Here are five reasons to trade Chris Perez before the July 31st trade deadline.
Closers are, in general, over-valued by MLB teams, meaning the Indians might be able to extract a player whose actual value surpasses Perez's. This is pretty straightforward really, and doesn't have anything to do with Chris Perez in particular. Perez happens to be a closer. A lot of teams think that closers are worth a lot. Voila! It should go without question that a good position player is worth several times what a good closer is worth in terms of wins added to a team. Nonetheless, every year we see a team in contention who's had a rough run of luck in the bullpen pony up a reasonably high price to add a power arm to the back of the bullpen. If the Indians could add an effective everyday left fielder for Chris Perez, I'd do it in a heartbeat. There is no bullpen arm for which this statement should ring false.
Chris Perez, in particular, will likely never have a higher trade value than he has right now. Despite the blown save on Sunday, Perez has had an incredibly effective season so far. He's converted 24 of his 26 save chances (92%) while striking out 9.74 batters per nine innings and walking only 1.95 per nine. He's been a bit lucky on the long ball so far, only giving up two home runs over 32.1 innings pitched, but outside of that, his peripherals all look to me to be pretty good.
Which is what we'd like any acquiring team to think, because I'm sure I've shown you this chart before:
YEAR | FB Velocity | K/9 | BB/9 |
2009 | 94.2 | 10.74 | 4.26 |
2010 | 94.5 | 8.71 | 4.00 |
2011 | 93.3 | 5.88 | 3.92 |
2012 | 93.6 | 9.74 | 1.95 |
I see a pitcher who's lost a mile per hour on his fastball, and outside of the thirty innings he's thrown this season, I see a guy whose strikeout numbers have suffered because of that drop in three straight seasons. Do you trust that Perez will continue to strikeout more than a batter per inning after the performance he put together last season? Do you trust that he'll allow home runs at roughly half the league average despite not inducing lots of groundballs and never doing it before in his career? Do you trust that despite his wild ways, he's learned how to walk half as many batters as he used to? It's possible, I guess, but I'm more likely to see a guy who's value is about to plummet—a guy who's waiting for the other shoe to drop.
So yeah, sell high, and all that.
Arbitration is about to make Perez expensive, and the Indians need to spend that money elsewhere. Remember how I said that closers are generally overvalued? Well, it turns out that could be a problem for us if we keep Perez around much longer. Perez is making $4.5 million this season—his first season of arbitration eligibility. That was coming off of a fairly pedestrian 2011 season; basically, he got the $4.5 million just for "being a first-year arbitration-eligible closer". Throw in the arbitration raise he's likely to receive this off-season along with the good performance and we're looking at something in the neighborhood of $6.5 million for Perez in 2013 and up to $10 million in 2014. For comparison's sake, Jonathan Papelbon signed for $12 million in his final arbitration-eligible season, and Perez's agent knows this.
It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: this team cannot afford to pay any relief pitcher that kind of money. It's just not a wise allocation of resources. We need a left fielder. We need a first baseman. We might want to look into extending our right fielder or our ace pitcher. To spend that kind of money on a closer is foolish for any team, but it's particularly prodigal for a team that has to cut corners on its payroll like we do. And someone will pay Chris Perez that kind of money. The way we make sure it's not us is by trading him now.
Chris Perez seems a jerk. This is not a convincing reason, I know, so we'll be brief here. But he doesn't want to be in Cleveland. He actively antagonizes the fanbase. He whines. Even if we could sign him to a long-term deal (which, read above, is a TERRIBLE IDEA), I don't think he'd do it. He reminds me of those athletes who think that Cleveland is the city you play in before you get to where you're going. In short, he just doesn't get it here. I wish he did. But he doesn't. And it's a shame, but so it goes.
Vinnie Pestano is better than Chris Perez. We're not going to debate this, because there isn't really a debate. If you're interested in verifying this statement, I'll direct you to math and facts. They're particularly stubborn on the subject.
I was telling my brother that I was ready to trade Perez recently, to which he replied, "That's just because you want to have like 10,000 of Vinnie Pestano's babies."
Now, he did have a point: I love me some Vinnie and would be up for some siring if so called upon. But making Vinnie the closer wouldn't really make me all that happy. It would just be one step closer to trading him to another team, as I'm currently advocating with Perez.
Because I believe that closers are fungible. I believe that you get their cheap years from them while you can and then let someone else foot the bill for their free agency years. It's why I want to move on from Perez right now, even though I know that would be the first step in eventually moving on from Vinnie too.
There seem to me to be plenty of good reasons to trade Chris Perez now. There are good baseball reasons and good financial reasons and good common sense reasons and even good karma reasons.
But so many people seem against it to me for one (stupid) reason: the DOLANZ R CHEEP. And to be honest, I think that's why the front office won't end up moving him. They fear the brush back they'd get for trading away one of the team's All-Stars.
Which is sort of a shame, at least to me.

I disagree with your paragraph on Perez being a "jerk". As a new Clevelander, I will be the first to agree that the fan base with regards to attendance sucks. I have been to plenty of tribe games this season. I also live in the Oakland area and for a town like Oakland to beat us is pretty sad. He is perfectly within limits to call out a fan base couple times. Could he have chosen his words better? Definitely. But Chris Perez has the passion, desire, and ambition to win which is what the city of Cleveland needs. He even has his "twitter questions of the day" and the first 6 or so fans to answer it correctly get free tickets on his name. In short, he has addressed the problem AND is trying to part of the solution which is to increase tribe attendance at the games. I agree with the rest of the article; however, trading Perez is not the option to making the playoffs and making the tribe a contender like it was in the days of Thome, Alomar, Ramirez, etc.

DOLANZ ARE CHEAP is the greatest statement made in this article!!

Tribe fan since early 60's .. Want to see them win. That said. I agree with trading Perez. And I don't agree with the thought process that Indians are giving up on this year if they do. Pestano just as good (better). If Indians could get power right hand outfielder they would be all the better for it. Also with h
Perez's attitude the phrase addition by subtractionseems appropriate.

Thermus thermophilus is an aerobic chemoorganotroph that has been found to grow anaerobically in the presence of nitrate. Crystals of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from T. thermophilus HB8 belong to space group $P2_1$, with unit-cell parameters a = 36.90, b = 132.96, $c = 60.78 \AA$ , $\beta=97.2^0$. Preliminary studies and molecular-replacement calculations reveal that the asymmetric unit contains two monomers.

Director: Sal Genoa
Company: Anabolic Video Productions
Brian Surewood, Jamie Elle, Keeani Lei, Alicia Alighatti, Joel Lawrence, Sascha, Dick Delaware, Brian Pumper, Jay Star (I), Ali-Kat, Mia Bangg
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Add to the Anabolic section.
"A2M" stands for ass-to-mouth, so expect loads of anal and plenty of post-anal cock sucking from this title. And since it's a Sal Genoa-directed Anabolic title featuring pro males, expect plenty of tireless jackhammer fucking. Throw in a couple of notables like Mia Bangg and Alicia Alighatti, and this is another good addition to the Anabolic stable.
Mia Bangg has toned her curvy body over the past year into dynamite shape and this girl might not be working under the radar for much longer. She gets d.p.'d in this title - as does Jamie Elle, a very hirsute Ali-Kat and Keeani Lei.

The Barbara Stanwyck Show Volume 1 Anthology series from the 'Big Valley' Girl The recently released DVD set of the first 15 episodes, plus the unaired pilot, of the 1960-1961 anthology series "The Barbara Stanwyck Show" is a treat for fans of Stanwyck, good TV drama, and amateur TV historians. I had not heard of the show but am very pleased that I got this chance to discover it. It was believed that every episode of this program was lost until the Archive of American Television (archive) located the ones that this set includes. The booklet that provides an interesting history of the show and an entertaining essay by Turner Movie Classics host Robert Osborne about interviewing Stanwyck includes a request that anyone with any of the additional 21 episodes of the series contact the archive. The opening segment of the show varied in the 15 episodes, but the format of the main story was very consistent. Stanwyck, who starred in 14 of the 15 episodes in this set, portrayed a different woman who was facing a crisis. These characters included a modern sheriff's wife who was handcuffed to an escaped prisoner, housewives who were married to successful but insensitive men, an unmarried importer-exporter in Hong Kong who the CIA coerces into helping with a mission, and a widowed oil executive who compensated for the weaknesses of her late husband. Although many of these stories sound like Lifetime movies, they are written and performed much better. A few go over the top, but most have the appropriate amount of drama and are not unduly predictable. Further, filming these shows in black-and-white gives them the look of the quality dramatic films of the 1930s through the 1950s. The episode, which was titled "Out of the Shadows," in which Stanwyck played a psychiatrist that a former mental patient was tormenting was my personal favorite. Seeing the patient push just the right buttons and having Stanwyck's past haunt her was just plain good television. The only flaws in this episode were a few predictable moments and a rather absurd ending, but this did not take anything from the roughly 20 good minutes of entertaining drama. In addition to the unaired pilot, which had Stanwyck playing the wife of an Old West sheriff, the set includes Stanwyck's acceptance of the 1961 lead actress Emmy for the series. The unfortunate aspect of this is that NBC had cancelled this exceptional show, which had good ratings, by then. I truly would love to hear from anyone with memories of watching this show when it aired; my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com. TV on DVD Reviews: |

Leading in the Conquest of Cancer
The following statistics help illustrate what sets the U-M Cancer Center's faculty, staff and programs apart as Leaders and Best™ in cancer. But numbers can tell only part of the story. Click on any link below to read the stories behind the numbers.
The company we keep
- The U-M Cancer Center is one of only 41 centers in the United States to earn the National Cancer Institute's "comprehensive" designation. This, the highest designation in the understanding and treatment of cancer, confirms our commitment to outstanding clinical care, wide-ranging research initiatives, education, outreach and the training of tomorrow's cancer experts.
- The Cancer Center is also a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a consortium of 26 of the nation's premier centers, which develops national guidelines for the delivery of effective, quality care.
- Among more than 900 hospitals considered, the University of Michigan ranks 34th on the U.S. News list of best hospitals for cancer - Michigan ranks highest among institutions in the Midwest, and is the only hospital in the state to rank in the top 50.
Confidence that comes with experience
Ours is among the largest clinical enterprises in cancer. Patients meet with multidisciplinary teams in one of 17 multidisciplinary and 10 specialty clinics, organized by cancer type.
Here's a snapshot of our 2013/2014 clinical activities:
- 97,147 outpatient visits
- 58,419 infusion treatments
- 4,590 radiation consults
- 3,498 cancer patients discharged from university hospitals
These numbers mean our patients benefit from having experienced, knowledgeable doctors, nurses and other clinical experts involved in diagnosing and treating every patient's case, from the most common to the rarest and most complex.
The top 5 cancers diagnosed and treated at the University of Michigan:
U-M has been recognized by the national Blue Cross Blue Shield Association as a Blue Distinction Center for Complex and Rare Cancers® for our work within 13 Cancer Center programs:
- Acute Leukemia - Inpatient, Non-Surgical

- Liver - Primary
- Pancreatic
- Ocular Melanoma
- Rectal
- Soft Tissue Sarcomas
- Thyroid - Medullary and/or Anaplastic
Putting Patients and Families First
Our commitment to the conquest of cancer is surpassed only by our commitment to treating patients like members of our own family. How are we doing?
Our Cancer Center Patient Satisfaction statistics confirm that we excel - and continue to improve - in caring for patients and families:
- 2004 = 88%
- 2006 = 89%
- 2008 = 90%
- 2010 = 90%
- 2012 = 92%
- 2013 = 95%
Because we understand the impact cancer has on every life it touches, we invest in staff and programs to reduce the burden of cancer for patients and those who love them:
- Our Patient and Family Support Services (PFSS) Program currently offers more than 30 programs and services led by specialists in psychology, social work, art therapy, nutrition, finance, and other areas. In 2013, more people than ever before took advantage of one or more PFSS offerings
- Staffed by registered oncology nurses with more than 105 years of combined experience, the U-M Cancer AnswerLine™ provides toll-free access to personalized information on the entire spectrum of cancer issues, helping individuals navigate the complexities of the health care system and connect with support groups and community resources. In fiscal year 2013, the Cancer AnswerLine™ responded to 4,983 inquiries.
Research: more insights, more options
The U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center consistently ranks in the top 10 nationally in grant funding from the National Cancer Institute. Our medical school currently ranks first on that list.
Michigan receives more than $188 million in grants annually from the NCI and other agencies.
More than 365 U-M faculty members provide care to cancer patients and collaborate on laboratory, clinical, prevention and outcomes research.
Michigan is home to 3 Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE), in head and neck, prostate and gastrointestinal cancers. These significant, multi-year NCI research grants focus on prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of a specific cancer type. In addition, as a member of the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC), the Cancer Center's Sarcoma Program plays a pivotal role in one of only two SPORE grants focused on sarcoma.
Our patients are the most important beneficiaries of Michigan's vigorous commitment to research. Through more than 358 active cancer-related clinical trials, patients have access to the very latest treatment advances, often before they are available in the community.
Serving our community and yours
In 2013 the Cancer Center participated in more than 75 community events in Ann Arbor and statewide.
We maintain a speaker's bureau of experts available to participate in local educational and outreach events.

Early Works 1961 - 1975
5 November - 7 December 2013
Opening: Tuesday, 05 November 2013 at 7 p.m. At 6 p.m the author will give a guided tour to the exhibition.
Tihomir Pinter is now known primarily for his »ironwork photography« and portraits of Slovenian artists, while his early works are virtually unknown to a wider public. His contemporaries perhaps saw them, because they were, except one at the present exhibition, at the time of their creation awarded prizes and presented at photographic competition exhibitions organised by the Photographic Association of Yugoslavia. This time they are for the first time exhibited independently.
Vintage The term vintage in photography denotes a photography made at the time the picture was taken or up to 5 years later, which is generally accepted time limit. They are very appreciated by collectors, as such photographs present artists' original and earliest interpretation. Because they are made with photographic materials that temporally coincide with the picture taken, they are valued also for purely technical properties in connection with the making of a photograph (e.g. the modern photographic papers for making photographs with wet process differ from the old ones in silver halides content, photographs made with the materials available today are not exactly the same as those made 50 years ago). Besides the photographer's original interpretation, they also provide a proof of quality of photograph-making, as slovenly made photographs do not stand the test of time – they turn yellow, fade etc. Pinter, who always makes his own photographs, is as a chemist well aware of the chemical properties of the material he uses and the consequences of their inconsistent use. The exhibited photographs are from 4 to 5 decades old, yet remain unaffected by time, except for their inevitable patina – the black is softened.
The early works An insight into the work of a young artist who tests and follows the beaten track before he beats his own is undoubtedly interesting: insecurities, searches and joyful discoveries of fragments from which in the following years »Pinter« will be made.
In 1961, five years after he took up photography, he for the first time exhibited some of his photographs. The oldest photograph at the exhibition also dates back to 1961, the selection then presents photographs from the first 15 years of his regular participation at exhibitions organised by photo clubs.
Tihomir Pinter was born into a house of photography – his father and later also his brother were photographers, while he himself as a child whiled away the time by watching father's photographs on glass. No wonder he too wanted a camera, he got one when he was 18. From then on he takes photos. He is a self-taught photographer who has from his early teens regularly visited exhibitions of visual art and actively contemplates what he has seen. When he was attending secondary school in Ljubljana, he was enraptured with the ironwork photography of Slavko Smolej. He studied photography also as an active member of the following photo clubs: Sarajevo (1958-60), Zagreb (1960-65), Smederevo (1965-68), Belgrade (1968-70) and Ljubljana (from 1970 he is a member of Fotogrupa ŠOLT). The photographers of the pre-war generations, even the greatest world-names, had no education in photography, as it did not exist back then. In the period after the Second World War, organised photographic activities in Slovenia and the former Yugoslavia were conducted primarily in photo clubs. The latter were very active in the field of education (presenting and analysing the work of their members, providing access to photographic literature – books, magazines with topical issues in the field of photography), and in the field of organising photographic competitions and exhibitions, they also offered a possibility to obtain titles within the Photographic Association of Yugoslavia. Thus there was no institutional formal education within the school system, yet the Photographic Association of Yugoslavia bestowed the title Master of Photography to a photographer who was selected in competitions for exhibitions organised by them and consequently exhibited at least fifty works. The exhibited works had to belong to different genres and the author had to display the command of the medium – both of which is characteristic for Pinter's early works. Obtaining the title Master was then the only school, and the most successful photo amateurs become successful professionals (e.g. Tone Stojko, Joco Žnidaršič, Janez Pukšič, Dragan Arrigler, Božidar Dolenc, Miško Kranjec and many others).
Some starting points of Pinter's photography He does not like flash and does not use it, he makes use of the available light. When he creates images, he places most importance on the composition. He does not strictly follow the principles of »straight photography«, which emphasises the absence of manipulation, framing with a camera (black rim), and which in the 70's influenced the modernist aesthetics of photography. It allows framing of an image by a cut out of an original shot, manipulations in a darkroom is reduced to minimum. He makes his own photographs. To him, the work in a darkroom is both very important and creative. A mere shot is not a photography which presents the author's vision in its entirety. What counts is the final image on a photographic paper with selected tint values.
Motif world Besides »ironwork photography«, Pinter was in his early period of photographing also occupied with street photography, photographers in Yugoslavia then preferred the term »life photography«. The latter deals with the life outside studios, i.e. mankind, society. It contains elements of spontaneity, it is devoid of the predictable manipulative nature of studio photography. Some »street« photographers are of the opinion that a photograph should be genuine, not staged, and taken without a prior consent of the person photographed. If persons are allowed to enter and leave the scene as they please, a shot can be taken everywhere. The development of »street photography« is closely connected with the emergence of small, portable and fast enough cameras in the beginning of the 20th century, while it was blooming in the early 70's of the 20th century. Pinter's approach to photography was very systematic from the beginning, he always prepared an essay on a selected theme, e.g. everyday life on the street, the homeless, people at work, the saltpan of Sečovlje, hop plantations in the Savinja valley, a visit to a Romani settlement, portraits of ironworkers in various ironworks across Yugoslavia, details of objects in ironworks ... The variety of motifs in his early period was conditioned also by acquiring the only available degree, the title Master of Photography. In order to get it, he had to prove that he has a command of the medium, that he masters different genres and the making of a photograph. »I photographed everything«, he says. Some photographic themes also depended on the current technological development, e.g. on accessibility of telephoto lenses, which was not generally accessible before the 70's, on the testing of graphic film – low sensitivity, contrast raster film. Regardless of the selected motif, the foreground of his images constantly display two main characteristics, two main personal interests, the essence of his photographic view. As a photographer, Pinter likes to monitor people at work. He began with ironwork photography and by accident took up portraying painters in their studios. When photographing, he did not discriminate, photographing painters was to him the same as photographing workers in ironworks, only the light in ironworks was much more unpredictable and evasive. Among his early works are also many street photographs. Portraits in which the portrayed person flirts with the photographer and directs his look to the lenses are in his early period rather an exception and not a rule. He prefers to take a shot when people are not aware of his presence. Pinter thus prevents the gaze of portrayed persons from taking the central role, the protagonist blends with another language, the one which is for Pinter of the greatest importance. The language of elements of arts – creating composition with shapes, relations between light and shadows, rhythm, spatial arrangements, proportions, texture ... – is for him a sine qua non. When motifs are inherently narrative, documentary (a homeless man in the street, costermongers ...), visual means of expression dominate the image to such extent that they interpret reality. In the photograph of a costermonger counting money the baskets create rhythm, the protagonist is in golden ratio; the photograph of a man weaving baskets is dominated by shape, lines, rhythm; in the photograph of a housing project the story is told by the rhythm, the proportions between the buildings and the man, graphicness. In the photographs of rather boring iron semi-products and objects isolated from their environment Pinter's use of elements of art provides these objects with a story, adds a character to impersonal semimanufactures (hop poles become a completely geometrised abstract image, a field of blossoming buckwheat becomes fields of proportions between tint values, cold metal is enlivened, it becomes organic etc.). The protagonists in Pinter's images, living and inanimate, always follow the rules of composition, the latter creates a story by relations between the selected photographed elements. Henri Cartier-Bresson was of a similar opinion, he maintained that photography was »recognising the order«, when asked what makes a good composition, he answered: »Geometry«. Pinter, too, says that composition is the most important part of photography. According to Szarkowski, photography is a system of visual editing. Pinter's visual editing has been since the very beginning striving toward the geometry of solitude. He knows how to find solitary quiet details in noisy ironworks, when he portrays people at work, he prefers to remain an unseen, solitary observer. In his photographs he »embodies his conceptions about a photographic image as a revelation of hidden (aesthetic) values.
The exhibition Vintage is only one of the exhibitions in 2013 on the occasion of the author's 75th birthday. The Museum of Gorenjska in April prepared the exhibition of photographic portraits of the recipients of the Prešeren Award for Literature, it was titled Literary creators – recipients of the Prešeren Award, the Kočevje Regional Museum in June prepared the exhibition Portraits, while the Slovenian Cultural Centre in Vienna is in November preparing the exhibition of portraits under the auspices of Korotan – the Slovenian cultural and scientific centre in Vienna. Tihomir Pinter has had many exhibitions, yet his archives contain a lot of interesting and unseen material.

The adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in educational continues to offer new possibilities and challenges to virtual learning environments. VR opens new realms in the field of elementary math and creates effective learning experiences for students especially in numeracy concept using Virtual Manipulatives (VM). This study investigated whether or not students who used 3-Dimensional VM would out-perform students who used 2-Dimensional VM on numeracy concepts exercises (integer addition and subtraction). Results showed that students made significant achievement gains in numeracy concepts using 3-Dimensional VM. The general conclusion is that the VR supported students" learning of these concepts.

2006. A mysterious mining accident in a remote territory unleashes an unspeakable horror that creates a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh. It decimates large portions of the country. The only course of action is to rapidly enclose the infected areas and seal them off from the rest of the remaining, living population. NOW. 15 years later the tattered remains of the government and the mining corporation responsible where the initial event took place commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex. The solution is to send in a group of mercenaries and scientists into the quarantined zone to find answers. Crossing over is just the beginningÂ…

nebalis 5pts I'm a Chevy guy but recently conveerted to Dodge due to the gear ratios taking away power. I try and stay fairly unbiased, but I tested drove a Ford and hated it. My neighbor bought an EcoBoost Ford and said gas mileage actually was just as bad as a V8, he was very disappointed. Also, if you turbocharge any vehicle, HP and Torque are exponentially increased, so of course you can "attempt" to compare a turbocharged 3.5L v6 with a 5.0L v8 as the turbo brings that 3.5 up to speed. These comparisons will never be accurate.
Jacob3443 5pts Dodge? Really? Dodge shoudln't have even been in this. It was gonna lose no matter what
teren 5pts Sorry if any chevy fan was crying when they saw a little ford v6 smoking their famous v8. You don't need a big engine to go fast. It wound take a serria with a 6.2 to even keep up with the new ecoboost. sorry but chevys always been behind the times
keelerck 5pts OMG how much did Ford pay to stack the deck, this article is not even relevant. I'm all for ecoboost great job Ford. But pairing a 3.43 5.3L nat aspirated against a 3.73 turbo engine please! Selecting GM's Max package in the Silverado or Serria would have been a better comparison or run the 5.0L next to the 5.3L with the same rear gear. But then you don't need a comparison to find the winner of that!I own a 6.2 Serria 403 HP 3.73 gear it will run down (loaded or not) any Ford!
CALI-LIFER 5pts wow!mr. coutrycouch you have the dumbest comments!! here read for ur self i copied and pasted it:haha there is nothing to pick apart. It is very clear that Ford designed this test to make it's main competitor (GM) look bad. They could have at least used the Ram's middle of the pack engine (4.7) if that's the comparison they were after. Instead they used two companies top of the line engines, against GM's middle of the pack (or bottom if you are comparing trim levels) engine:"haha!!! heres another 1:We all know Chevrolet's website is a bit of a joke sometimes. But out of curiosity I paid it a visit. It seems to me that the Silverado in the package tested, can't be had with a 5.3L anymore. You either get the base 4.8, or the 6.2. I wonder how old this truck was really? yea its was probly a 2007 huh?? you suck dude... ps. this magazine has been biased from day 1!! you fool
Proverbs 5pts Truck buyers in Arizona won't be impressed until they see test results under Arizona heat conditions. This was a torture test? Get real. The Valley of the Sun has 85 degrees for the LOW temperature for about 4 months out of the year. How about towing results when it is 112-118 degrees outside? Every highway leading east or north out of Phoenix has grades of 6 to 8 percent. Turbos don't last in Arizona for a well-known reason: Extreme heat. Testing at 85F doesn't cut it here.As I type this at 1:30 p.m. 12-13-10, the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is 82F.
TERBROCK 5pts For years GM fans have been comparing GM's 6.2 to Ford's 5.4 and to them that is "Fair". Why didn't you compare GM's 5.3 to Ford's 5.4? Because as crappy as Ford's 5.4 is it still beats GM's 5.3. Now they are crying that it is unfair to compare a 3.5 V6 to a 5.3 V8 because a 1.8 litre advantage isn't enough they need a 2.7 litre advantage. If they compared Ford's 6.2 V8 to GM's 6.2 V8 then that would have been unfair because GM don't offer an 8 Litre V8. If they would have compared the two 6.2 V8s and GM had eeked out a 1 mpg advantage that is what they would have pointed to as proof that the GM engine is superior but in this comparison completely ignore the fact that not only did the 3.5EB dominate the 5.3 performance wise but also in FE.
uglyvaliant 5pts I think a more interesting test would have been pitting the ecoboost against ford's 6.2 and 5.0...
LS7 5pts lol they got the top off the line engine in the ram the almost top of the line engine in the ford and they just got the 5.3 v8 for the chevy? wtf
BlairBlair 5pts "Still, from what we saw, the new EcoBoost did a masterful job of schooling the larger, higher cylindered competition."I think Mike Rowe must have typed that in...
BlairBlair 5pts Dumbest comparo ever! -1 to MT. Mike Rowe needs to get off the air, his commercials are getting nearly as old as howie longs, nearly I said.
Badstang5.0L 5pts How is the 5.3 too small? It's not Ford's fault GM has worked on improving fuel economy by going with more efficient axle ratio 3.08, 3.23, 3.42 for most regular configurations instead of going with 3.73 and 4.10. GM wanted to improve the fuel economy and as a result towing power suffered. The Ecoboost will give you power, efficiency, and towing power all in one with no compromises.
Badstang5.0L 5pts @jimmy999. This test wasn't about reliability it was about towing power at max loads. I guess Ford did not want to embarrass Toyota in this test.
fearthevoices 5pts This doesn't seem like a biased comparison at all; but more or less of one that illustrates how Ford has done their homework and used engineering and technology to kick some butt.All these engines are optional powerplants, the biggest factor being that the 5.3L is perhaps too small and the rear axle ratio is too anemic for the job at hand.GM needs to become serious about getting the next gen small block into production, and become serious about building more powerful and efficient truck engines.As for Mopar, they have the power, but efficiency needs to come up to the standards being set in the rest of the industry. A sixth gear isn't going to change that figure much while towing; but I suspect they will all see dramatic changes in those figures with a load.At highway speeds w/o a load, it stands to reason that the Ford may the actually pay for the added cost in fuel savings, and performance.
jimmy999 5pts You should have included Toyota and made this a 3 way test. Consumer Reports shows the Toyota truck is more reliable than the Ford or GM truck.
pmirp1 5pts I use my F150 for work. There is no way I would consider ordering mine with the turbo. A great engine for city people, but for my work, give me my trusted V8 :)
wolf32 5pts The engine in this test already had 169,000 hard miles and then was pitted against a brand new Ram and Chevy truck. This high mileage V-6 against brand new V-8's and the V-6 wins and gas mileage wise there is no comparison. If i want the most powerful I would get the 6.2 ford, it has more power than Dodge's or Chevy's top motor. What this test shows is that a 3.5 V6 with 169,000 hard miles can smoke two brand new V-8 pickups. I for one believe the mileage of 26. The Eco boost I had a chance to drive at one of the local Ford test and drive events, avg 27 mpg on the highway at 80 mph in a 4x4 super crew that's impressive in my book. As far as reliability this truck in the test was put thru the ringer 24 hour at full throttle with a 11,300 pound trailer behind and that is one extreme test no truck on the road will ever experience period. It also spent time at a logging company where it pulled logs up a hill, spent time on a dyno taking extreme colds and hot soaks back and forth to try and break it. That same motor ran the Baja 1000 next in a race truck. Call me impressed by this V-6 with over 160,000 hard miles it put it to some brand new V-8's. After one drive it made a believer out of me, the drivetrain is so smooth it has to be driven to believe. I was so impressed I order one a 4x4 super crew platinum model.
klapper 5pts "...Anyone else feel this was a PLANNED "Ford Comparison?"..."(spears0519)Of course it was tested beforehand by Ford. A good lawyer nevers asks a question he doesn't already know the answer to. On that topic, the Tundra is conspicuous by it's absence. Of the light duty competitors to Ford it had the best chance from the perspective of gearing and horsepower to match the EB F150.
klapper 5pts I notice the Ram was gaining on the ecoboost in the long climb. In the 0 to 60 run it finished 14 seconds behind, but the average of the 3.5 mile runs was only 3 seconds behind.
spears0519 5pts These may be "competition" in the sense that they are competing auto makers...but putting the chevys Power and Tq against both those trucks is rediculous. Just taking 5 second look at those numbers on the sheet and I could have told you what the outcome was...way to waist a days worth of gas on 3 trucks. Anyone else feel this was a PLANNED "Ford Comparison?" hell Mike Rowe was there right?
Badstang5.0L 5pts Ford updated the 2011 F-150 engine specs for mileage. The 3.7 is 17/23 2WD and 16/21 4WD. I predict the Ecoboost in heavier version getting the same or better rating as the 3.7 base. The 6.2 Ford is rated 13/18 and 12/16. That make the equally performing EB look like the better alternative.
Badstang5.0L 5pts Coming out of the hole maybe, but it wouldn't have narrowed the 12 sec gap 0-60 and 45 secs over the 3.5 mile course.
G-Street 5pts They would have helped coming out of the hole tremendously, Stang'. And Bogal- Really? What a fail. Toyota hasn't built a good truck since the early Tacomas.
thedream21479 5pts Regardless of the price....this is (another) home run for Ford. I love how all three of the domestic manufacturers are stepping it up big time.
Badstang5.0L 5pts In the 0-60 test the Ecoboost blew both the Ram and Silverado away. In the full run course the Ram was four seconds behind while the Chevy was pathetic 45 seconds behind. Whether you love or hate the Ecoboost competes well with midsize to large V8's.The Ecoboost 19/26 mileage has an asteriks by it which isn't defined. The mileage will be closer to 17/24 and 16/22(4X4) for now but 19/26 would be something that gets people buying F-150 EB like crazy.
Badstang5.0L 5pts For those who say this test was unfair keep in mind it was an independent third party test just like the HD vs SD shootout in the Rockies.I have been hearing for years that the GM 5300 was powerful and plenty sufficient for a 1/2 ton and it's somehow unfair when it got stomped by a 3.5 Ecoboost....??? The 5.3 is in the same price range so it is fair to me. The 3.73 wouldn't have helped the GM that much.
klapper 5pts "...This is the future of pickups, people.."(MarkRedF150)I don't think so. For people who really want fuel economy and don't mind paying extra, I think it will be lighter duty diesels in 1/2 tons.On the durability side, I've done the calculations and the v6 turbo doesn't have the surface area in the combustion chamber to shed heat as quickly as equal horsepower v8s. My calculations show that (including ring swept area) the 5.7 hemi has 54% more area to shed combustion heat to the coolant than the ecoboost Ford.Ford builds a good truck but this engine is unnecessarily complicated and expensive. I'd get the 5.0 for less money and likely equal real world mileage in towing and highway driving.
klapper 5pts RPM at 20 mph in 1st gear (assuming no convertor slip), as spec'd tire diameter/axle ratio:Ford - 3277 rpmChevy - 2808 rpmDodge - 2465 rpm
blazerdude20 5pts countrycoach: the 3.5EB is the second $ engine, the 6.2l is more expensive. "The 6.2-liter V-8 will carry the highest price tag in Ford's revamped F-150 engine lineup for 2011.According to Ford F-150 marketing manager Mark Grueber, relative to the all-new 3.7-liter V-6 entry level engine, the 5.0-liter V-8 will carry a $1,000 premium over the 3.7. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 will carry a $750 premium over the 5.0 and the 6.2-liter V-8 will carry a $1,995 premium over the 5.0." -pickuptrucks.comso the 6.2l is $1,245 more then the 3.5EB
blumajikboi 5pts countrycoach was bad mouthing the 3.5 eb and how it couldnt tow and even if it could there would be no gas mileage gains in another thread. Now he is bitching that ecoboost is too powerful for a fair test with a dodge Hemi and GM 5.3???AND it is a top line Engine?????? Countrycoach has egg on his face. and is a complete shillIts one thing to support a manufacturer. Its another to support one blindly. GM will no doubt bring a version of the 3.6, and turbo.. to the game when the trucks get redesigned. And CC will no doubt sing praises for the engine and its durability.
FstrthnU 5pts It may be more expensive than the other trucks, but the Ford's efficiency removes any doubts about value. It's terrific to see a TTV6 slaughter a V8 (though it is very antiquated). Hopefully GM's coming with something better soon, unless they want to give up the medium-sized truck market.
bogal 5pts I bet if Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 was there, it would of even smoked the Ford. There's a reason Tundra wasn't allowed to be there...
Veyron1001 5pts im a stout beleiver of motortrend, but im going to have to call you guys out on this test, this was waaay too biased. please use similar engines based on pricing in the future.
impalastreetracer17 5pts i know engines have made some major improvements in mpgs, but i would bet any money that the v6 ford does not get 19mpgs city, my impala gets that in the winter. ugh i hate having to warm up the car, such a waste
Mad Money Blue 82 5pts For everyone saying compare apples to apples, what is the equivalent to the EB? If you have a VALID comparison, then I'll leave this alone. GM fans want to compare the GM 6.2 to the EB. You guys are jokes. So what GM engine compares to the Ford 6.2? That's Fords top engine.
DonnerVogel 5pts LOL@ Country Coach!Harping on the Ford for making a biased test in favour of their truck!Well, you had a very different opinion about the GM sanctioned test about the Ford SD vs the Chevy SD on the forums! Gosh people like you bug me. Here's the link people, this is what this guy supports:http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/11/chevy-vs-ford-in-heavy-duty-rumble-in-the-rockies.htmlyou sir are discustingly hipocritical
tyman 5pts Before you make comments about things you have no clue about go out and actually drive each makers trucks and you will see the difference and who makes the better truck!!!!
bwshdf150 5pts Just to get it out of the way I am biased towards the blue oval but get your facts right. The ecoboost is not the top of the line Ford engine, that would be the 6.2L engine. It was a comparison of equally trimmed trucks. However, I can't believe that the author of the article even said that he would like to see compare trucks with the same ring and pinion ratios. Anyone should know that to compensate for the torque loss of running a smaller engine, you have to run different ratios or there's no point,
LawnGuyKC 5pts For all the people saying ford has the best interior or quality/materials has never sat in the 2009 or newer rams. Every review puts in on the top of it's class in interior and quality. I've owned both Ram's and Ford's and they are pretty close in everything but ram has always had more power. I like the idea of the Ford 6.2 but think they should make it available across the F-150 line up. I won't trust the new EB until I've seen it work in the real world for at least 3-5 years. To see how it holds up and how much more it will cost to maintain.
TurboGSX04 5pts i think we know who paid for the most advertising this month... cough ford cough... ford trucks junk like all of their cars. dodge and chevy always trump crappy ford
LawnGuyKC 5pts Kinda sad that the EB Ford stopped pulling away from the Ram in second gear. The ram only has a 5-speed (which is known as a sponge) The EB has more hp & torque plus a 6 speed, what gives? I woudn't really be bragging about that. Plus, I would love to see the MPG of all trucks during the test. I bet you they were all about the same! Also, since it was to show off Ford's new EB, how do we know they didn't just up the boost to make for a better show for the ford? I would have liked to see all 3 trucks on a moblie dyno during this test.
skyguy 5pts The performance and fuel economy of the EcoBoost motor is impressive. It's better than the 2.7L four cylinder in the smaller, lighter Toyota Tacoma.
lilfarmrboy 5pts @gmoney82 - Thanks. I was only making a point and yes it probably will be the same for the Ford 6.2 also. Has anyone noticed that gas is now $3 a gallon... they are saying $3.50 by summer. Who you think is going to be selling the most trucks? The one that gets 21mpg (GM underpowered V8) or the 365hp - 420tq king Ford ecoboost that avg 23 - 26mpg per which web site you read? Why buy cookies if you can't eat them, with the ecoboost you can have cookies and eat them to!

REynolds is still number 1 but a second would be sean william scott ... and yes i know not the best actor in the world, but he has the right attitude for the role
If not Ryan Reynolds, then who?
Had a discussion with my best friend the other day, she insisted that Ryan Reynolds was a terrible choice to play the Merc With a Mouth. When I questioned her as to who she would put in the role, she replied "Hugh Laurie". What do you think, is Ryan Reynolds a good choice? Did you like him in Wolverine enough to warrant him playing Deadpool through an entire film? If not, who should bring the Crimson Nutcase to life on the big screen? Hugh Laurie?Does your friend read comics? O_o
Listen, as a man who has a ridiculous infatuation with Hugh Laurie...he is not Deadpool material. Ever.
Coming out of the left field.... How about James Franco?
Hugh Laurie?
He is an amazing actor, bue he is a great NOOO.
Scott Adkins or Nathan Fillion could do it.
Ryan Reynolds should not play anything.....ever.
Jason Statham has Deadpools gravely voice, but he can't ditch his british accent
@cattlebattle: Jason is great for action roles, but i dont think of him as a funny guy.
Deadpool need to be funny at some point of the movie.
Ryan Reynolds all the way
Not sure about Fillion... but maybe
@Caligula: Lame choice, Joe Lewis always kicked the sorry butt of Chuckie Norries
I've always though that movies would be good if they got an unknown named to play the lead. It would launch somebody's carree and no one would be like "What is Green Lantern going in Deadpool?" not saying that Ryan Renolds is not well known for the upcoming Green Lantern film. Out of all the choise I would chose Ryan Renolds and after that I would go with Seann William Scott like Man of Lengend suggested.
I'm gonna have to say that Ryan Reynolds would be the best choice hands down. If you don't believe me or have your doubts watch Van Wilder. You'll see why. And if you didn't like that movie or didn't think he was funny in it then why the hell do you wanna see a Deadpool movie in the first place. You obviously lost your sense of humor so there's no reason to see the movie you'll be let down regardless of who plays him.
If not Ryan Reynolds, then who?
Ryan is not an option.How about nobody...
He can act? (you're probably talking about the mod :p )
How about an unknown actor?
This will be good
My friend is Ryan Reynolds, so he is stupid?

I don't get the love for Sean William Scott as Deadpool. Granted, he can do the manic, comedic part of the character but a solid part of DP's personality are those subtle (or not so subtle) moments of lucidity where the guy is shown to be a lot more sane than he lets on. For that element of the character, you need someone who can...well...ACT.
Matt Damon. But I'm a nerd so I'm required to say Nathan Fillion.
Cmon people, that was for OP. Ryan Reynolds is near the only actor that could play Deadpool. And why the hell would ever think House could play him?
Bradley Cooper, or maybe Chris Pine?That guys sucks!!!!
Pine is pretty much a smaller version of Reynolds.
Sean William Scott maybe. I don't understand why everyone was so stoked about Reynolds playing him. Just because Reynolds is a Deadpool fan doesn't mean he can act.
Sean William Scott maybe. I don't understand why everyone was so stoked about Reynolds playing him. Just because Reynolds is a Deadpool fan doesn't mean he can act.Yeah, that my whole point, under that logic, like 4565 actors could play Batman since they are fans of Batman.
I like Ryan but lets face it, there is a list of guy that could do the job.
Pople belive Ryan is Deadpool that in siome way find a way to live in our dimension.
