Request to expand Hillsborough EPC gains support
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
When the Hillsborough County Commission tried to eliminate the wetlands division of the Environmental Protection Commission earlier this year, Tampa City Councilwoman Mary Mulhern spoke out against that proposal. She later told her fellow council members that sheâd like Tampa to be represented on the board.
Mulhern is now going further with her goal. Last night, she asked the Temple Terrrace City Council to support her plan, which would also give Plant City representation on the county environmental board.
Currently, the Hillsborough County Commission is the EPC. The members hold separate meetings, but acts as the agency deciding countywide environmental issues.
At today's Hillsborough County Commission meeting, board chairman Jim Norman said he agreed with Mulhern. He took credit for trying the same issue last year with getting more Hillsborough County representation on some other local agencies.
Last year, Norman led the board in preparing a bill before the state legislative delegation that would have allowed more Hillsborough County representation on two boards â the Tampa Sports Authority and the Hillsborough Planning Commission. But, in part because of opposition from Tampa officials, the proposal was never adopted.
Commissioner Mark Sharpe said he too agreed.
Commissioner Brian Blair, who led the battle to completely eliminate the wetlands division before accepting a compromise plan to keep it somewhat intact, also agreed with Mulhernâs suggestion.
Mulhern says sheâs thrilled to hear the County Commission support her proposal to expand the EPC, but says the two issues are completely separate.
And Mulhern says another difference between her proposal and the Countyâs is that hers is driven by grassroots support.
One Tampa official who does not support Mulhernâs plans is Mayor Pam Iorio. In Wednesdayâs Tampa Tribune, Iorio said she understands the concern over the wetland issue, but âyou donât change the composition of a board because you disagree with the board on an issue.â
Mulhern respectfully disagrees.
So far, no state legislator has committed to Mulhernâs bill, but she says nobody has told her they wouldnât ultimately support it.
The Hillsborough County Commission voted today to submit its bill regarding to the local legislative delegation. That deadline is Nov. 2.comments powered by Disqus

Why not? Get used to it.
In an era of people expecting free handouts and entitlement, this is where MMO's are going along with the rest of the world. If you can get free money, why not do it? Are any of you dumb enough to think that there isn't enough interest in a successor to DAoC? Anyone who knows anything about the MMO community should know the answer is yes, there is plenty of interest. So don't be stupid and think this guy is trying to gauge interest on his proposed product. He is already well aware of the interest. He is clearly just trying to get his free money. After all, if he can, why not?
Luckily, I am an adult and I will go ahead and let everyone else fund his project. Then if the game is good enough at completion, perhaps I will give it a spin. I'm not in the market for free hand outs without getting a product in return.

It's also on Steam for those interested :P
In any case, I'm of the mind that private funding has done a lot to ruin games as of late. If there is an alternative then I urge all to consider it before signing anything with the companies like EA :(

Which is what I said, although not in such detail a bunch of posts ago. :) So long as there is no fraud, no game actually need be released and there is no legal requirement to issue a refund of a donation, should the be money be spent and the company fold. LLCs do not exist by accident.
Having been motivated into doing some looking around about this project I wonder how City State Entertainment LLC went from being:
"a brand-focused studio creating intellectual property for the mobile, tablet and social networking spaces."
press release published on Business wire 30 Sept 2011.
and a partner of GigaMedia who said on the 22 Nov 2011:
"We are proud to be working with him and thrilled to have him and his newly formed team develop new games and brands with us. By expanding our product offerings to games for Internet-enabled mobile devices, we are positioning ourselves to benefit from the ongoing shift from PCs to mobile computing and the continued strong popularity and growth of social gaming."
To working on his own and about to start a Kickstarter funding project for a (presumably) PC based MMO focussed on RvR PvP.
Also who was the Singapore based partner (hence the city state name) and why was that partnership disolved? (GigaMedia is based in Taipei)

Wow, seriously? So I've stayed out of this thread because frankly, it's more than a bit insulting to me at times. If you had truly done your research you would have also found out:
The CSE name came from both the fact that I was talking to GM after my NCA ran its course and that when the deal was taking too long to complete (we were going to be based in Singapore) I started the studio with my own money and that I liked the name so I kept it. Here's a link to one story (http://www.forbes.com/sites/traceyjohn/2011/09/30/former-mythic-ceo-mark-jacobs-starts-city-state-entertainment/) and other places. There has also been speculation that I chose that name in reference to EA's statements regarding treating its studios as separate "city states" in the past.
As to GigaMedia, the deal between us is still in place but that was for mobile games and smaller budget projects. I spoke to them last month actually about where we stand in terms of mobile games like Oz. Please don't say things like "that partnership was dissolved" when it wasn't.
The amount of incorrect information in this thread and innuendo directed at me is, as I said, really insulting especially when it comes to my use of Kickstarter which has been represented as either a) unusual for someone like me; b) a scam; c) a desperate plot, etc. since only people who can't raise money use KS, etc.
Now, the problem with that is that KS and crowd funding has been used by studios such as Obsidian (Project Eternity raised 3.9M and Obsidian's resume of games is outstanding), Bones (3.4M from a well regarded miniature company), Double Fine (3.4M Tim Schafer both has a great resume and top selling games now), Wasteland 2 (2.9M, owned by Brain Fargo, founder of Interplay & Digital Chocolate), Star Industry (Chris Roberts got 2.1M through KS, 4,1M through website and his resume is outstanding), Pathfinder Online (Goblinworks), Steve Jackson Games (Ogre Special Edition 900K and Steve has been in the industry longer than me and SJG has been selling games since the 1800s I believe :) ) and many more. All you need to do is go to the Kickstarer page and use Games and Most Funded buttons to comfirm this. Many of these companies have significant ongoing royalty streams, founders who have bought and sold more companies than me, companies whose games have sold a lot more than me in aggregate and yet this thread seems to make it seem like because I'm using Kickstarter, well, you know the rest.
Anyway, I would really urge anyone who is attacking me personally or using innuendo to do so to at least get their facts straight.
P.S. As to why we are focusing on the MMO right now, that has also been covered in interviews and postings. Nothing mysterious, vague or otherwise.

I tried to distance you and your firm from the debate I was having about the "refund issue" but I know I strayed across the line a couple of times. I have tried to state that I feel you are genuine in your desire to develop this game and will spend the money appropriately.

Apology cheerfully and gratefully accepted but all you had to do was ask me, I would have been happy to tell you. :)
In truth, I'm not angry at you but I am a little dismayed at some of the things people have said here, especially when it comes to the use of KS or in regards to raising VC. Whether people like WAR or not, my investors did really, really well from the sale of Mythic (which is why one of the two of them are backing us) and the other one (TA Associates) specializes in shareholder liquidity deals. A SLD is when they buy stock of existing companies with a significant revenue stream (when they bought into Mythic, we were making about $20M+ per year) and then get their exit when the company is sold again or goes public. Well, I'm certainly not making 20M+ anymore because if I was, I'd fund the game totally on my own as I did with Mythic and Warhammer (before EA bought us) I have turned down some VC interest/offers because what they want to see is a different path than the one I want to walk down as well as issues with control/valuation/etc. It really is as simple as that.
Also, I've said before that I'll be putting in 2M of my own money into this project because I believe in it and, BTW, that 2M is in addition to what I've put into CSE already. I'm willing to put my neck and my money on the line to make this happen but I need the Kickstarter to fund to prove to the other investors (and to myself) that I'm not just this grumpy old game guy who thinks he has a good idea but nobody wants to play the game but a few other old school gamers. Our KS will be the proof of interest from our target market.

Didn't Daoc top out at about 250k sub's?I see people getting excited for this game,yet it just doesn't seem to add up to me.Sure I liked Daoc,but that doesn't mean it was a big success.Quite frankly I believe UO did better over the year's as far as sub's.
Sorry but I'm just not sold on this.As much as I liked Daoc,just not sold on this.

Yep, we peaked just after Shrouded Isles launched and while we declined like every other MMORPG, it wasn't till WoW hit that our numbers really went down a lot. I can talk about those numbers since I did so in the past before EA bought us.
As to UO vs. DAoC numbers, they are actually quite similar. I can't give you the actual numbers since those are confidential to EA but you might be able to find stuff on the web from when other people have spilled the beans. :) UO has been running a few years longer but its numbers were in decline when we launched. Then our numbers went down, etc.
As to not being sold on it, that's fine, it truly is. CU is definitely geared to a more niche crowd than either Dark Age or WAR.

Thanks! I'm happy with it being a niche game, it really is quite freeing not having to worry about how the heck to keep tons of people happy and playing for years and years. It is also nice not to have to work on a game for 5 years and then see the market/industry change around them.
Anyway, glad we straightened everything out and I truly do appreciate your apology. As I know full well, that's not an easy thing to do, ever. :)

edit: also don't forget the box sales, expansions etc.

In todays market,don't you feel that being in a niche crowd will seriously hurt the CU potential?I mean just look at TSW,yes it's a great game and has a loyal following,but it's potential is limited by it's subs/funding.
Game's seem to be held back from full potential nowaday's because of lack of subs/funding.

I should have elaborated more,it was a big success at that time,but when you look at number's today it's not overly impressive.If those number's are impressive today,then I guess TSW is very successful also.Yet many don't see TSW as being successful.

DAoC was both financially successful and exceeded the players' expectations. If you look back at daoc 10 years later and compare it to WoW then yes you might think it wasn't successful, but then again no MMO is.

Absolutely! I couldn't agree more. I know it sounds really counter-intuitive for a guy to say "Yep, we know the path we are going down won't lead riches and gold for everyone!" but that's why I'm making this game and not *that* game (insert favorite high budget MMORPG). If's not that I don't know how to make a bigger budget game but for me personally, there's too much downside risk for example:
1) "AAA" MMORPGs are now on a miniumum of a 5 year development cycle. Dark Age of Camelot was developed in 18 months, Warhammer Online in a tad over 3 years. SWToR weighed in at either 6 years or 5 years depending on how you calculate when their development timeline really started. TESO has been in development for either 4 or 5 years since Matt joined Bethesda in 2007 and I know from talking to him then, he didn't start TESO day one.
2) "AAA" MMORPGs budgets now top 100M on the low end simply because of the team size and the development timelines.
3) "AAA" MMORPGs need teams of 300+ to complete, thus the big budgets.
All of the above would require me to be more of the business guy, head of the studio, etc. than hands on guy that I am now. I can do the business side just fine as is indicated by Mythic's successful sale but I don't like running big studios. It means too many layers of management, too much politics and frankly, too many issues. I like doing what I'm doing now at CSE and believe it or not, I really like doing this too. I've been talking to players this way since the 1980s (GOD, NOW I FEEL REALLY OLD) and I missed it. Yeah, I've gotten grumpy at times, saracastic at times and there are a few things I'd take back but here it is Saturday night and instead of being home with my family, I'm sitting in the office talking to you and others, including a whole bunch of people for whom the name Mark Jacobs is a curse word at times.
That's me all over a guy who truly loves to make games more than anything else in the world and, if we could all just communicate without nastiness would spend so much of his time simply talking to people about game ideas, theory, etc.

Why would anyone invest in him? He was beating on this drum back with WAR, which they spent a crapton of money on and was an epic failure. Why would any investors trust him that he will do it right this time?

It's always relative I guess. If you looked at the dollar sales for Gone With the Wind, you'd wonder why everyone called it the most successful movie ever. OTOH, if you looked at the number of ticket sales relative to the total population of the US at the time (and the era it launched in), you'd go OMG! Kind of the same for games like EQ, UO, etc. Relative to the total number of people playing MMOs, Dark Age was a smash hit. Once WoW hit the market, the yardstick changed. Here's something to ponder though:
Dark Age of Camelot - Development budget: $2.5M, marketing budget: 660K.Total initial development expenses about 3.2M with incidentials not counting some leases. Total topline revenue earned by game prior to 2006 (EA acquisition, can't talk about numbers after it), 150M+ Our operating margins were quite high during most of its years and we earned royalties from GOA (they bore all the expenses for operating the game in Europe) so Mythic turned quite a good profit. Our first round investor (Abandon Entertainment) earned a fabulous return when we sold the company and they also got a piece of the revenue stream for a while. So, while Dark Age didn't have the numbers of WoW or EQ of course, the ROI on the game was outstanding and that counts for an awful lot especially for companies that value profit versus revenues. Of course, Dark Age is still operating today.

"Cardiovascular training can be a confusing topic and there are many different and divergent views on the subject. Different reputable sources inform us that you don't need to do cardio – just spar really long rounds (for grappling), or that you should spar twice as many rounds as you are going to fight (boxing), or that you should do sprints, or do long runs, or lift weights for muscular endurance, etc. With so many 'experts', it is no wonder that the answer isn't cut and dried.
I have my own beliefs and they seem to work fairly well for me. I noticed a couple of years ago that my techniques worked best and my sparring was sharpest not when I was stronger but rather when my 'cardio' was at its peak. Because I wasn't getting winded in sparring, I was able to think and make coherent plans throughout the match. At the time I was running 3 or 4 times a week, for 20 to 50 minutes at a time, in preparation for the fire department entrance test."

It's not as though President Obama is such a hot debater. The orator capable of lighting up an entire football stadium has infamously flubbed a few of his face-to-face showdowns – a record not lost on Republican Mitt Romney as he prepares for a debate next week that might be his last shot at reenergizing his campaign.
RELATED: 15 Events That Could Determine the Election Outcome
Hillary Rodham Clinton ran circles around Obama during the early debates of the long 2008 Democratic presidential primary season. After she joked about a report showing Obama was more likable than she was during a New Hampshire debate, she used the opportunity to compliment Obama as "very likable." Barely looking up from his notes, Obama coolly replied, "You're likable enough, Hillary," a comment later panned by pundits as condescending.
Standing at a lectern, the president can sound painfully professorial and elliptical in making his case impromptu. Veteran Republican political operative Eddie Mahe scoffs that Obama "can't function without a teleprompter."
Next Wednesday's nationally televised presidential debate in Colorado – the first of three that will be held before the Nov. 6 election – will be far from a cakewalk for Obama. He still must persuade voters to entrust him with a second term, despite 43 consecutive months of unemployment above 8 percent, four consecutive years of trillion-dollar deficits, widespread criticism of his health care reform and economic stimulus programs, a 13.2 percent decline in durable goods orders last month, and nagging doubts about his stewardship of foreign policy in the wake of the recent anti-American protests and violence throughout the Middle East.
RELATED: Durable Goods Orders Signal Potential Pullback
Those challenges pale by comparison with the task awaiting Romney at the debate that will be moderated by Jim Lehrer, host of NewsHour on PBS. The GOP nominee insists he's well poised to pull off an upset victory in November. Yet the former Massachusetts governor and private equity investor literally is staring into a political abyss with a new Quinnipiac University poll showing his campaign sputtering to a loss in battleground states like Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
If Romney fails to exploit the opportunity presented by this debate, the election could well be over by the end of next week – when 30 states including all-important Ohio will have begun some form of early voting that could pretty much lock in Obama's current lead. The University of Denver debate likely represents Romney's last chance to salvage his flagging campaign.
Romney is still reeling from the controversy over his surreptitiously videotaped remarks to donors in May that 47 percent of the American people paid no income taxes, were dependent on government, viewed themselves as "victims" and would never vote for him. Since then, Obama has repeatedly blasted Romney as an out-of-touch plutocrat who champions top-down economic and tax policy and who has written off nearly half of the country.
"I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims who never take responsibility for their own lives," Obama told Ohio audiences this week.
But Romney has felt his back pressed against the wall in past presidential debates and come out punching hard – as he did last January, by upending a surging former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia.
Gingrich was poised to overtake Romney as the frontrunner after a strong victory in South Carolina. But Romney demonstrated that with proper preparation and coaching (he was helped by a former debate prep coach for John McCain and Sarah Palin), he could overcome his inherent starchiness and get off some game-changing zingers. His sparring partner ahead of meeting with Obama is Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman, who previously stood in as Obama for McCain in 2008. Meanwhile, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is channeling Romney in debate dress rehearsals with Obama.
Romney lunged with knife-sharp digs at Gingrich during the Jacksonville, Fla. primary debate on Jan. 25. He savaged the laundry list of projects, including a colony on the moon that Gingrich had proposed in the first few early nominating states.
"In South Carolina, it was a new interstate highway, and dredging the port in Charleston," Romney said. "In New Hampshire, it was burying a power line coming in from Canada and building a new VHA hospital in New Hampshire so that people don't have to go to Boston. This idea of going state to state and
promising what people want to hear, promising billions, hundreds of billions of dollars to make people happy -- that's what got us into the trouble we're in now.
"A big idea," Romney concluded, is not always "a good idea."
After Florida, Romney had a vast campaign war chest to spend on attack ads and plenty of time to wrap up the nomination. He didn't round up all 1,144 delegates he needed to claim the GOP nomination until he won the Texas primary at the end of May. With Romney and Obama nearly evenly matched in their campaign fundraising and media spending prowess from here on out, the general election calendar has become Romney's enemy, with only 40 days to go before Election Day.

It's been very difficult to work out why Bishop Morris was sacked. It's been a moving target, writes Fr Frank Brennan SJ.
At first, the concern seemed to be over the third rite of reconciliation and his failure to drop everything and come to Rome when then-Archbishop Francis Arinze specified.
[Now Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Cardinal Arinze served as prefect from 2002 to 2008.]
Bill pointed out that he was due in Rome four months after the specified date, so surely things could wait until then. It seems that over time Bill had mended his ways on the third rite to comply with Rome's new strictures.
So then there was his Advent pastoral letter of 2006.
We are left confused as to whether Bishop Morris was sacked chiefly for what he wrote in that letter, or for what was reported by (then-)Archbishop Charles Chaput in 2007, or for what was reported to Rome by those sometimes described as 'the temple police'. The offending section of his pastoral letter was:
'Given our deeply held belief in the primacy of Eucharist for the identity, continuity and life of each parish community, we may well need to be much more open towards other options of ensuring that Eucharist may be celebrated. Several responses have been discussed internationally, nationally and locally
• ordaining married, single or widowed men who are chosen and endorsed by their local parish community
• welcoming former priests, married or single back to active ministry
• ordaining women, married or single
• recognising Anglican, Lutheran and Uniting Church Orders
While we continue to reflect carefully on these options we remain committed to actively promoting vocations to the current celibate male priesthood and open to inviting priests from overseas.'
If he was sacked for what he wrote in his Advent letter about the possible ordination of women, married priests, and recognition of other orders 'Rome willing', there would have been no need for Archbishop Chaput later to make his visit and his report.
But then again, if he was sacked for matters detailed in Cardinal Chaput's report, we are left wondering why Archbishop Chaput being apprised of the Advent letter and having completed his visit would have told the Diocesan Chancellor Brian Sparksman how extraordinarily surprising it would be if Bishop Morris were to be sacked.
As they drove back to Brisbane after the visitation, Archbishop Chaput told Fr Sparksman, 'I would be astonished if you were to lose your Bishop.'
The matter is a complete mess reflecting very poorly on a Church which prides itself on a Code of Canon law which provides for the protection of the rights of all Christ's faithful, including priests and bishops.

This is a frightening look at how much more corrupt our politics will become in the post Citizens United era. A secret shell corporation was created, it made a huge political donation, and then was dissolved soon after. From MSNBC:
A mystery company that pumped $1 million into a political committee backing Mitt Romney has been dissolved just months after it was formed, leaving few clues as to who was behind one of the biggest contributions yet of the 2012 presidential campaign.
The existence of the million-dollar donation — as gleaned from campaign and corporate records obtained by NBC News — provides a vivid example of how secret campaign cash is being funneled in ever more circuitous ways into the political system.
The corporate records provide no information about the owner of the firm, its address or its type of business.
If you ever wonder why in our "democracy" Washington politicians seem so much more concerned about the desires of a few rich people instead of what regular people want you need look no farther. It takes money to run and win political office. Regular people can not afford to set up secret dummy corporations to funnel millions into efforts help politicians. On the other hand a single rich person can. This is exactly why politicians spend so much time trying to make a relatively few rich happy.

Dean Coyne and Bradley Jay on WBZ Radio
The first Tuesday of the month, Dean Coyne talks with Bradley Jay on WBZ Radio Boston. Topics this month include:
- Marathon Bomber buddy guilty. The 20-year-old friend faces up to 25 years. What does this mean for other 2 accomplices? For Bomber?
- O'Brien probation sentencing is nearing. Does the conviction change the way quid pro quo works in politics?
- Do the fired Market Basket workers have a case, or is this just saber rattling? Can they fire all the workers legally, even if good lawyers know that just because you can do something the client wants…
- Only 7 years for kidnapping Abigail Hernandez? Why is it a class-B felony instead of class-A (incentive to kidnapper to return victim)? Still, in a law and order state, it seems low. What would you think is appropriate?


text: Since every school is unique, and has it's own set of challenges and opportunities, there will not be a perfect analogy. However, tOSU has the similar position of being a Big Ten wrestling program in a large, mostly successful athletic department that was doing, at best, above average. A coaching change changed the program.

(AP) / 17 January 2013
President Barack Obamas half brother has hit the campaign trail in his native Kenya in a bid to get a county gubernatorial seat in the upcoming March 4 elections.
Malik Obama, 54, who shares a father with the US president, told AFP that the achievements of his more famous brother have "inspired and challenged" him to get into politics.
"When I look at the success that my brother has had in America, I feel I would have let down my people if I do not follow in his footsteps," Obama told AFP in an interview late Wednesday in his ancestral home of Kogelo in western Kenya.
Standing well over six feet and dressed in faded jeans and a flowered beach shirt, Obama, who describes himself as an economist and a financial analyst, but who dodges questions about his employers or clients, said he is well-equipped to deal with the "endless cycle of poverty and unemployment that bedevils my people."
"I can confidently say that I am the best placed candidate ... by virtue of my second name alone, I have the connections to bring development to Siaya," he told AFP, referring to his home county some 100 km (60 miles) from the lakeside city of Kisumu.
Obama will need his name if he is to stand any chance against the competition, which includes Oburu Odinga, the younger brother of Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the de facto head of the Luo community, of which Obama is also part.
He said his links to Washington will help him clinch the seat.
"Why would my people settle for a local connection when they have a direct line to the White House," he said as he weaved his way through a group of supporters, the slogan "Obama here, Obama there," looming on posters.

NANDITO AKO Viewing Party and Raffle
To celebrate the much loved Nandito Ako mini-series, Archuleta Philippines organized a Viewing Party for the final episode last Friday, March 23, and it was such a blast!
The party was held at the Go Hotel in Pioneer, Mandaluyong. It was attended by at least 20 very excited fans :)
Different 'TEAM's were represented.
Team Holly! Well, I was the only person in the room when I took this pic. But my Team Holly girls – Kricket, Annie, Naree, Ree, etc – joined me in spirit LOL
Team Chillosh!
Team Onya I mean Jonya!
Once the show started, the group settled down. LOOK AT THOSE FACES!
During commercial, the group turned into a rowdy bunch! Crying, laughing, jumping, clapping, spazzing, squeeling… NAME IT!
At the end of the show, when WAKAS came on, everyone cheered, clapped and gave the show – the cast and crew – a STANDING O! I hope somebody captured that moment, it was so awesome!
To THANK THE FANS for their love, support and endless promotion for Nandito Ako, TV5 donated the shirts David wore on Nandito Ako – cemetery scene, 'lampa' scene, stay at Anya's house, visit to Anya, mall scene, beach scene, kite scene, etc -, Nandito Ako shirts and Nandito Ako pillows.
10 NA pillows, 2 NA shirts and 1 JB shirt (from lampa scene) were raffled off to the 20 attendees of the Viewing Party.
The GRAND WINNER was TIN! Uh oh, someone's not happy in this pic. Ha ha! Congratulations, girl!
Winners for the #napromo via Twitter will be picked soon by Archuleta Philippines in coordination with TV5 .
THANK YOU TV5, Mr. Perci Intalan, Ms JoAnn Banaga, Ms Ana Feleo, Ms Risa Guilas, Direk Mac Alejandre and everyone who made Nandito Ako possible! WHAT AN AWESOME RIDE IT WAS
Great commentary on Nandito Ako :)
Originally posted on jules explains it all:
I may be a hardcore Kapamilya, but for the past week or so I've been watching Nandito Ako, the TV5 miniserye starring American Idol season seven runner-up David Archuleta (aka Archie) who plays singer Josh Bradley. I've been a fan since I watched a video of him singing the Jennifer Holliday hit "And I Am Telling You" on YouTube months before he first auditioned for the show. So when I learned he would be doing Nandito Ako for TV5, I knew I had to watch the pilot episode. Somehow, despite my packed schedule, I managed to watch not just the pilot, but the four episodes that followed it. Here's a recap of what happened in Josh Bradley's world during the show's first week.
Looking for love
Josh is a wildly popular Filipino-American singer, and the pilot begins with a scene from his Manila concert. In that scene, Josh tells the…

Mega Promo Weekend for Nandito Ako
It is the first weekend since David left the Philippines. It has also been a week since Nandito Ako aired. What abetter way to spend the weekend than to go out and promote David's show!
A week ago, I dropped by TV5's office to pick up hundreds of posters and flyers for Archuleta Philippines to use to help promote the show. As early as Sunday last week, Naree started distributing them to members of Archuleta Philippines to distribute to potential viewers.
Archuleta Philippines also embarked on a Promotional Power Campaign for Nandito Ako and created materials in addition to the posters and flyers that others can download and print themselves for the promotion (design c/o Kricket and Ferj).
And Archuleta Philippines even made the campaign more exciting by releasing this announcement to die-hard, hard core promoters of Nandito Ako:
If you feel like you've already been doing your best to promote Nandito Ako, then this is probably good news for you. A reward may be on its way!
AP, in coordination w TV5, is giving away special archustuffs, and A SPECIAL GRAND PRIZE for winners to our "NANDITO AKO TODO PROMOTE!" contest. Watch out for our post on this later today, and you may just win something from JOSH BRADLEY himself. *Wink*. (Hint: When you do all of the above suggestions for promotions, make sure you document it – take a video or picture. Who knows, you may be our lucky winner!) Be sure to follow us @archuletaphils @kricket_rc234!
If you haven't done your part yet, then better get your fangirl mode on and power campaign for David!
So, here I am documenting my weekend of non-stop, shameless promotion of Nandito Ako. It was so much fun seeing the reaction of the people I've talked and how many of them wanted more copies once they saw who was on the show ;)
1) Posters outside tricycles (a motorcyle with a sidecar, often used as mode of transportation in the Philippines for short distances) – I got these tricycle drivers to help me put up the posters at the back of their tricycles. They even asked me for more posters that they can share with their buddies.
2) Flyers inside Tricycles
3) Posters in Shops
3) At bus stops
4) In buses
On our way to Sand Fernando, La Union and Baguio, JackRyan and I had the bus conductor put up posters inside the bus near the entrance/exit.
5) In events – Panagbenga Festival (Flower Festival) in Baguio
Knowing how hundreds of thousands of people, local and international visitors, flock Baguio during its annual Flower Festival (also known as Panagbenga) , JackRyan and I went up to Baguio to share in the festivities and spread the word about Nandito Ako. We targeted those who were taking pictures with TV5's float and they were excited about the show when they found out David Archuleta is on it. Some even asked for multiple bookmarks as keepsakes.
We also targeted the ice cream vendors since they move around a lot and people can easily spot the posters when they buy from them.
6) And even at home
It was a tiring yet productive weekend. Hopefully, everyone we talked to will start tuning in to Nandito Ako this Monday. They're in for a treat – David Archuleta in bunny suit!
More to come… Peace!
Jasmine, proud of David Archuleta (English Translation)
Read the original post here Abante Tonite.
Anne Curtis is so sweet to her younger sister, Jasmine Curtis Smith.
Even if Anne is with another network (Kapamilya), she is fully supportive of Jas especially with her new mini-series at TV5 with David Archuleta.
Every night before Nandito Ako starts, Anne would tweet her Twitter followers to remind them to watch the show.
"Nandito Ako to support you no matter what J I love you forever and forever!!!!" was Anne's tweet to Jas before Nandito Ako premiered on Monday night.
She happily said on Twitter, "Yahoo! Nandito Ako is trending. It hasn't even aired yet!! Go, baby go!! Please excuse me, I'm a proud Ate (older sister)!"
Apart from the Philippines and worldwide, Nandito Ako also trended on its pilot episode in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and US.
Anne congratulated the cast and crew of the show especially Direk Mac Alejandre for the [success of the show as indicated by the] many advertisements placed during the show.
Last Tuesday, Anne tweeted her younger sister saying "Anya, you're so pretty in your ponytail!! Your Tagalog is very good!!!"
Anya is the name of Jas' character in Nandito Ako. David is Josh. Anne can't wait for Anya and Josh to meet.
Ogie Alcasid who originally sang the hit OPM ballad was happy that [the song] trended [on Twitter].
He tweeted on Monday. "Thank you, Mr. David Archuleta and to his legions of followers for making Nandito Ako trend after 23 years. Aaron Paul del Rosario, congrats!"
David responded, "So cool it trended! Thank you and Mr. Aaron Paul for letting me sing a great classic OPM song, and for your kindness."
David (who is now back in the States) was happy that a lot of people enjoyed watching his first mini-series.
"Glad to see that you guys enjoyed the pilot episode of Nandito Ako! Thanks for all of your support!" Archuleta said in his tweet.
Jasmine Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero felt lucky and honored to be working with David Archuleta in Nandito Ako.
"I am thankful for the opportunity to work as one of the leading ladies for David Archuleta in the show. I am overwhelmed."
"Until now, I wake up each day wondering, 'Is this true? Am I in a dream?'"
"I never imagined that this will happen to me. Especially since I am quite new in the industry."
"Working with David is such a pleasure. He's so light and easy to work with. And he's really willing to listen and to grow and to adjust to whatever needs to be done.
"He is willing to do anything. He won't stop shooting a scene until he has given it his best."
"We are all proud of him. We saw his progress in the 3 weeks that we worked with him," shared by 17-year old Jas, who went back to Melbourne, Australia to continue with her studies.
What would you remember most in working with the American Idol alumnus?
"Everything. All of us enjoyed working with him, his singing on the set, his jolly mood."
"He is so much fun to be with. As a person, as a friend, as a co-actor, we really won't forget him," shared smilingly by the pretty lass.
1st Star Factor winner Eula Caballero is thankful that she was chosen to star [the show] with David Archuleta, especially since a lot of people have been asking when TV5 will give her a break. Ritz Azul, the runner up of the reality show, already had her break.
"I'm very happy that TV5 allowed me to grow first before they gave me this [opportunity]. They have been so good to me. They allowed me to go through other things first before giving this to me."
"And now, Jas and I were given this chance to work with David Archuleta. I am very happy. And David was such a good actor."
"This is his first time to act in a mini-series. I must say he is a natural."
"When we do a scene and he felt that he was not able to give it his all, he would request for another take."
"He wants to give his best in every scene. I am so impressed with him," shared the 16-year old Kapatid star.
Eula will not forget David's singing on the set of Nandito Ako. It is among the things she will miss now that David is back in the States.
Nandito Ako is shown every night after Wil Time Bigtime.
Eula Caballero sheds tears as David Archuleta says goodbye – English translation
Read original post on PEP.Ph
It was a touching goodbye for Eula Caballero and David Archuleta at the set of TV5 mini-series Nandito Ako.
Eula relayed to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "What I appreciate most was the depth of his character."
"It started with light conversations. 'How are you, have you slept well?'
"'Then we started talking about family… then you find out the kind of person he is.
"I also asked him about his mission."
Eula was referring to David's two-year mission with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The young Kapatid actress continued, "He said, 'I'm happy to do this for my religion.' [He said] It makes him whole."
"He also said, 'It's just making me sad because I'm afraid that everyone might move on with their lives without me.'
"And that we should get used to not having him around since two years is a long time."
"Especially for his sisters, one of his sister is turning sixteen, the other one will join junior high, he said, 'I wish I could be there with them when that happens.'
"I said, 'Oh, my God!'"
"I was in tears when he said that coz he, too, got teary-eyed."
Eula added, "He has such a deep personality, he has so much on his mind… his family."
"'He said he has one more month before he goes on his mission and he wanted to spend it in Philippines since he has come to love the country.
"I said, 'Yeah, of course! We would be happy.'"
"I also told him, 'TV5 would love that you can do guestings in other shows.'
"'He said, 'I'd love to but I just want to spend it with my family in Utah.'"
Eula said she will miss David.
"So much!" she added.
"Then on our first night in Batangas, he again got teary eyed and said, 'I'm gonna miss this, guys.'"
"'We've been like taping every day, we're filming every day and we're together every day, we've been together lunch break and dinner break and all that.'
"'He said, 'I'm gonna miss this because I know you guys have other projects to do after this…' and he said eventually our attention will be diverted to other things.
"He continued, 'But me, I'm just gonna miss this and I hope I can see you guys again.'
"I said, 'Oh David, you'll be very missed by us."
BTS: The Dream Sequence
January 26 – Naree and I went to meet JR for a trip to the Nandito Ako set. We went with @Amee_and_Sam and her daughter who came all the way from Bicol to see David (LOL, I think she was sent for work).
We couldn't decide what to buy for the staff and crew, so we bought:
- Mamon from Pan de Manila for the crew
- Mango Bravo cake from Contis for David
- Cupcakes by Sonja for David, Eula, Direk and Kari
JR also brought special siopao for the group. It was the BEST SIOPAO I ever tasted. (And I heard MyDearWriter liked it a lot!)
I Can't NOT Come Back
What a great article! Kudos to Rowena Joy Sanchez of Manila Bulletin.
Original article: David Archuleta on the joy and art of acting
MANILA, Philippines – Three weeks in the country seem like a short time, but it was enough for David Archuleta to gain heightened interest in acting.
Shooting painstakingly for 15 days for his forthcoming TV5 mini-series "Nandito Ako"—his major acting debut—was "one of the best experiences I've ever had," declared the "American Idol" Season 7 runner-up during the press conference for the said show last Feb. 4.
"I'm just looking forward to do more… It's been so fun. I'm not the greatest actor, and this is a very new thing for me, but I can't wait to keep going. It's a lot of work; it takes a lot of people to make something like this happen. But this is something that I would love to keep working on. This is a great thing to share to people," said Archuleta.
Reeled in by reluctance
It wasn't exactly the case at the beginning. Archuleta admitted that he was reluctant to take on the project, given that he's not "much of an actor," having appeared simply as himself on US teen shows "Hannah Montana" and "iCarly." He likewise had concerns about being away from home.
His acquiescence to the project had apparently paid off, with Archuleta realizing that "it's exactly what I needed."
"[Acting] has taught me a lot about myself as a person, which is weird because I really didn't expect that at all," he admitted.
He continued: "Looking back and just going through it each day, it's been so worth it… just getting to know the people and getting challenged and trying to act and express [feelings] in a way other than just music. Acting is very much an art. I appreciate and respect even more the actors and actresses in what they have to do and what they have to accomplish in order to bring out something that people could feel and understand."
Recognized for his soulful, heart-tugging singing style, Archuleta found himself stepping out of his comfort zone, playing the role of Josh Bradley on "Nandito Ako," a Filipino-American international singer who returns to the Philippines to search for the missing pieces of his true identity.
"This is one of those things that I've been able to mature and grow up with and be able to say that even though this is not something I can normally do or I don't know if I'm good enough, I'm wiling to take on the challenge.
"It was hard to get comfortable being open and emotional in front of others at first… but whether it's being happy or angry or sad, you couldn't hold back or else you wouldn't give something to the audience and they wouldn't feel the story," he related.
The 21-year-old idol is grateful to his fellow cast members, including his leading ladies Jasmine Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero, who've been like a family to him.
"They've taken me in, they made me feel comfortable, even though I'd be like, 'Oh, I'm not a good actor!' They've just been so patient with me and always so supportive and encouraging. It helped me do better in my participation in the series."
"Everyone here on TV5 and on the cast of 'Nandito Ako,' they've been the ones who I've just grown very close to… and I'm going to really miss them. I'm planning to come back [to the Philippines]. I can't not come back. I just had too much of a great time," said Archuleta.
He noted his co-star Ana Feleo, his acting coach, as "the one who really made the magic happen for me in coming out of my shell… and to be able to jump into the scene and be not afraid to let go."
A blessing to others
Although his schedule had been packed since his arrival on Jan. 13—taping for the series, interacting with his fans during mall shows, as well as at his grand fans' day last Feb. 4—the singer-songwriter made time for some philanthropic activities.
Last Jan. 29, he made a surprise visit to the children sponsored by ChildFund Philippines, the local arm of ChildFund International, with which Archuleta had teamed up during his "My Kind Of Christmas" US tour. The said group encourages individuals to sponsor children who have very little to zero access to food, education, and medicine. Archuleta himself sponsors a child from his mother Lupe's home country, Honduras.
"We had some free time in the morning and went over to meet some of the kids who've been sponsored in the Philippines and see how it's affected their lives, what they've been able to learn, how it's affected their family as well, and just got to talk to them. It was touching, it was really powerful to get to meet them," he recalled.
As he shifts to a new chapter in his life—a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—Archuleta vowed to make his presence felt by his fans through the songs, which would be released while he's away. He will resume recording as soon as he returns to the US.
"I don't wanna leave my fans with nothing. I feel like that will be so disrespectful after everything they've done to support me," he maintained.
Archuleta discreetly left the Philippines for Singapore on Sunday morning for some engagements. He will purportedly return to Manila in the same week to fulfill his remaining commitments.
The primetime series "Nandito Ako" premieres Feb. 20.
What a Grand Day!
It was the most anticipated day of David Archuleta's 3-week stay in the Philippines – the culmination of all the hard work David has put into making his first real acting project and the day fans get to show David how much they love and support him.
My Kind of Perfect

Nandito Ako Trailer
We did not expect it and neither did David, Jasmine and Eula, but TV5 premiered the Nandito Ako trailer during the Grand Fans Day. It was a real treat to share the excitement of watching the trailer the first time with David, Jasmine and Eula <3
I love this version from Ustream as it showed David's reaction while watching the trailer. I also tried to watch David from my seat and I could see him laughing and giggling at times… some during the romantic scenes, some when David is crying. Gosh, what a mess I was! My tears kept flowing uncontrollably not only because of the story that slowly unfolded before our eyes, I was SO PROUD OF DAVID! Who knew David would be SOOOOO GOOD in acting. He was such a natural, like what Mac Alejandre kept on saying about David on Twitter. None of his acting in his scenes looked forced. DAVID THE ACTOR HAS ARRIVED! And I wasn't alone in that sentiment. All the fans in the cinema squeed in unison and everywhere I looked, I saw misty eyes :)
Here's a clearer view taken by @ascphil:
Archuleta Philippines' Tribute and Pledge
For weeks, Archuleta Philippines has been planning a sendoff tribute for David. We did not know how we are going to present it to David at that time. We just went on planning and preparing for it. We knew somehow we'll find a way to show our tribute to him.
Our initial plan was to sing a medley of David's songs plus an adaptation of Nandito Ako to tell him how we will always be here even if he's gone for two years. A week before Grand Fans Day, TV5 graciously gave us 4 minutes to perform for David. Since we only had limited time, we decided to just sing an adaptation of the whole Nandito Ako song. As we practiced the full song for the first time after the mall tour in MOA, emotions ran high knowing that this will be our only chance to let David know how much we support and love him before he leaves for his mission.
I am so glad Ustream captured our performance and David's reaction while watching us.
David got teary-eyed which made us even more emotional during the song. We could hardly sing, but it did not matter. David heard our message <3
Here's a video from another angle where you see more of Archuleta Philippines performing. At the 5:00 mark, @kricket_rc234 handed over to David the Certificate for the adoption of 21 trees planted in his name and a CD copy of our tribute video showing how Archuleta Philippines celebrated his 21st birthday last December 28, 2011 – we planted 21 trees, we packed relief goods for typhoon victims and we had a mini birthday celebration for him! (cr. seceew)
Here's a copy of the tribute video :
The lyrics that were given to David
It was such an emotionally fulfilling experience for all of us. Thank you, David!
Talentadong Pinoy Taping
Right after Grand Fans Day in Megamall, we rushed to Skydome in SM North Edsa where David was to tape a performance at Talentadong Pinoy.
David first sang Nandito Ako (to be aired on February 5). He looked so handsome in his suit.
The performance as aired on TV5.
He next sang Wherever You Are (to be aired on February 19).
This was a first time for many of us, to join the audience during the taping of a show. Only for David. Ha ha!
Press Launch
We tried to go to Meralco Fitness Center to hopefully watch the Press Launch live. However, it was a by invitation event so the group decided to watch it via livestream instead.
Along with @nareejo, @jackryan4DA, @kricket_rc234, @KarissaCortez, @carlacharisse, @feeshda and @cmaecy, we went to Persiana for dinner. We watched the Press Launch from @jackryan4DA's laptop and from our iPhones.
David sang Nandito Ako flawlessly for the press. We also got to see the cast sing Nandito Ako at the start. What a lovely cast!
Thank you again, Mr. Preci Intalan and the TV5 management for believing in David and for engaging the fans throughout the entire process.
Can't wait to watch Nandito Ako. It will be a big hit. I know it for sure :)
DAVID ARCHULETA in Manila 2012 Day 1 (01-13-2012) – Epic Welcome from Team Airport
What a great opportunity for Filipino fans to see more of David before he leaves for his mission.
A few days before David's arrival, TV5 contacted Archuleta Philippines for an interview with some fans to be featured on their website. It was a last minute thing so not many were available. The interview was at TV5's office at Global City so only @Nareejo and I made it. The interview was focused on how we became fans, what we liked about David, what we thought about David's new stint with TV5 and our message for him.
For weeks, Archuleta Philippines spent hours and hours of planning via YM, text, email, phonecalls to get fans organized to meet David when he arrived at the airport. @Jackryan4DA,@ascphil, @Nareejo,@Kricket_234 and myself were among those painstakingly planning how to get it all together. @Ferjiperj came up with designs and had new banners printed for this special event (we all saw how great those banners were!).
For days, Kricket and I were swamped with twitter and text messages of fans eager to join Team Airport to welcome David and Kari.
The night before his arrival, some of us stayed overnight at my place since I live close to the meeting place – Wendy's along Boni Edsa. We chose that location not because it's near my place (LOL) but because it's in the center for majority of us.
We slept at around 1:00 AM. We were up by 2:00 AM to get ready (only 1 hour of sleep!). We met the rest of Team Airport at Wendy's at around 4:15 AM. There was 70+ of us and 5 vans were waiting to get us to the airport. (One funny thing while we were on our way to the airport, a guy from a show in TV5 texted me asking if we were already at the airport and if I could let him know if David has arrived since he and his group are still in transit quite far from the airport.)
The group lined up carrying our welcome banners for David. Within minutes, camera men and reporters of TV5 took pictures and videos of the group. They even interviewed some fans.
Along with @JackRyan4DA, @Nareejo, @Ferjiperj, @Carlacharisse, @NetteKulet_AP and Arlene (AP's VIP pass winner), we went inside the VIP lounge to get ready to document David's arrival. There we met Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Eula Caballero, David's co-starts in the TV5 mini-series.
By 5:30 AM, we got to our designated positions inside the airport. My assignment, to do the livestream. Watch recorded video here – Airport Arrival livestream
We immediately saw David when he came down the stairs. The mood at the airport suddenly changed. Even people who didn't know who David was took pictures of him. I talked a bit with David as we walk out of the main building. I told him the fans were waiting outside to welcome him. He was surprised at the number of people there to see him at 6:00 in the morning.
As David stepped out of the building, you could hear the fans chanting "DAVID! DAVID!". It was so awesome! Then he was met by Jasmine and Eula who both gave him orchid garlands. Then the group went to the VIP lounge. David saw @Nareejo as soon as he entered the VIP lounge. He gave her a sweet hug :) A mini presscon ensued where David candidly answered some questions. Eula and Jasmine also joined him for a few questions and for pictures.
After the media was done with the interviews, the fans took over and had pictures with David.
Pocket Press Con
After David left the airport, Carla and I went to Makati – I to take calls for my meetings and Carla to get some work done while she's deciding whether she goes home or go to Edsa Shangri-la Hotel where some went.
At around 9:30 AM, I received a call from TV5 asking me to go to Edsa Shangri-la Hotel for the pocket presscon and special meet and greet with David. What?! I couldn't believe what I heard. Without hesitation, I gathered my stuff and took off for the hotel. Carla tagged along even if we were not sure if she could get in.
At around 1:00 PM, we got our cue to go upstairs for the presscon. @Nareejo, @Jackryan4DA, @ascphil, @Carlacharisse and @KarissaCortez joined me. Other fans from Pinoy Archies were also invited.
I did a livestream of the presscon (recorded here Pocket Presscon) David and Perci answered a lot of great questions – how the project came about, why David took it, what it will be about including what deets about David's mission. We got to hear a bit of Nandito Ako from David – it sounded soooooo good.
My favorite part of the day (and probably of his entire stay) is the special meet and greet:
- He sat beside me
- He looked directly at me with his beautiful hazel eyes when we were introduced; he shook my hand
- He looked at me the entire time I was asking my question
- He giggled about the fact that we were wearing almost similar shirts
- Towards the end, he asked me if I wanted a picture with him (*DIES*)
ALL OF THESE ON DAVID'S FIRST DAY in MANILA!!!
I can't wait for everything that will happen in the next 3 weeks. Bring it on!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 2, 2014
Governor Inslee signs bipartisan bill to further address the problems of derelict and abandoned vessels
OLYMPIA – Surrounded by legislators and a diverse group of supportive stakeholders, Gov. Jay Inslee today signed legislation that builds on the state's commitment to prevent derelict vessels from becoming a burden to the citizens of Washington State.
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requested the legislation (2SHB 2457) that will further protect Washington's waters and the public, foster responsible and accountable vessel ownership, provide an additional funding source for removing derelict vessels, and encourage removal and deconstruction before vessels become a problem.
"DNR's Derelict Vessel Removal Program is an award-winning model for the rest of the nation," said Gov. Jay Inslee. "This legislation is significant, not only because of what the bill does, but how it galvanized both sides of the aisle and a diverse group of stakeholders to develop workable solutions."
The process to draft and shape this legislation began last summer with the convening of a work group, as directed by last year's derelict vessel legislation (ESHB 1245). The work group consisted of legislators and state agency staff who drew up a list of possible solutions to the problems that derelict and abandoned vessels create. The list was then presented to a diverse group of stakeholders representing the commercial and recreational vessel industries, environmental groups, and ports.
"I applaud the great collaborative work that was done before and during this session to address the environmental, safety, and public expense risks caused by derelict vessels," said Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark. "In particular, I want to thank Rep. Drew Hansen and Rep. Norma Smith for providing the critical legislative support and leadership for this bill, and staff at the Department of Revenue for working with us to develop a more equitable funding solution by requiring commercial vessel owners to pay a fee to support removal costs. For too long, recreational vessel owners have shouldered these costs. It's a great start, but more work needs to be done."
"A lot of work has gone into this bill—by Democrats and Republicans, House members and Senators, environmentalists, boaters, shellfishers, marina operators, industry representatives and more," said Rep. Drew Hansen (D-Bainbridge Island), key bill sponsor. "This bill will save jobs and also keep our waterways clean and safe for recreation and industry."
"HB 2457 is truly landmark legislation," said Rep. Norma Smith (R-Clinton), key bill sponsor. "It was an honor to work with Rep. Drew Hansen, the team at DNR, and every stakeholder at the table to craft responsible policy which will stem the tide of large vessels reaching the crisis stage of threatening our waterways and taxpayer resources."
"Washington's waterways are the most beautiful in the world," said Sen. Kirk Pearson (R-Monroe), Chair of the Senate Natural Resources & Parks Committee. "As legislators, it is our responsibility to ensure that they remain clean and free of hazards for generations to come. This legislation will help meet that goal."

The program is the state's key mechanism to address these vessels and provides funding and expertise to public agencies to assist with the removal of abandoned and derelict vessels from state-owned aquatic lands managed by DNR.

This month's issue of Harpers Magazine reveals a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction tale of a University of Chicago study that correctly predicted the death of a particular human being on the dark, drug-infested streets of the South Side. Inputs were many and involved Stephen "Freakonomics" Leavitt, who continues to show us patterns driving our choices and their inexorable, predictable consequences. In the end, the unfortunate youth hung with the wrong faction, and placed honor to that faction above his own life's blood.
And from the Unbelievable Coincidence Dept.: "Divergent" hits the big screens of Hollywood tomorrow: the factionalized dystopian Chicago presented to us in this new major motion picture gives us a rather squalid extension view of today's compartmentalized subcultures, not gang insignias - factions that have evolved based on received wisdom, tradition, hereditary or learned instincts, at the expense of diversity and acceptance of differences.
The understated historical reasons for such an outlandish means of societal organization are buried deeply within a young-girl-coming-of-age tale, and are only vaguely alluded to from the viewpoint of the teenage protagonist, Beatrice, in the novel on which the new film is based.
"Achieving peace" is the nominal stated goal, the idea being that within factions it is easier to achieve cross-societal detente than it is in mixed "us and them" configurations, with their invariable messy clashes in heterogeneous social circles on random street corners.
From the HarperCollins Children's (!) audiobook I just finished, the author Veronica West seems intent on preaching socioeconomic diversity and teaming as a strength to be nurtured by our leaders, in opposition to mindless sectarian tribalism and absolute purist tendencies. All good so far as that goes.
Her putative factions, though -- "Abnegation", "Dauntless", "Erudite", "Candor", and "Amity" --besides failing abysmally the "Consistent Parts of Speech Test", also strike me as fairly arbitrary avatars (and therefore stereotypes) for certain religious orders and sects (Quakers, Mennonites, Buddhists, Jews, et. al. on one hand, and reckless, thrill-seeking militant street gangs on the other) -- "The Fight Club" meets "The Hitler Youth" as it were.
Competitive and often sadistic "initiation trials" leave many would-be tribe members faction-less (and ostensibly homeless) - a fate depicted as worse than death. "Faction Before Blood" appears as a universal mantra devised to minimize interfactional fraternizing.
The timing? Both the data-predicted murder and the novel have 2012 datestamps.
Naturally the factions in "Divergent" prove unstable and unsuccessful in preventing the war they were devised to allay, turning what could have been a probing lesson in social planning, government intrusion, and fair division of labor and wealth for the next generation into a Hollywood-ready cookie cutter screenplay for "Generation Xbox".
Nowhere to be found in this world is any social media, free press, music or arts, professional sports stadiums, twelve-juror trials, or democratically-elected leaders. Or education as we know it today, to help ameliorate societal ills - though somehow tattoos, paintball, ziplining, and virtual reality simulations - oh! and even computers, elevators and toasters - HAVE made their way from today into this future, along with cliques, rivalries, and redemptive teenage love on the down-low (in the off-hours between initiation trials only, of course).
I hope that the point of "Divergent" - that well-rounded, well-educated civil societies rely on each of their citizens to be candid, dauntless, amicable, self-effacing, *and* erudite, each in turn and in moderation, while keeping in check the signs of decadent excesses both in themselves and others, is not lost amidst the simplistic vilification of power-hungry zealot-traitor characters and the (literally) mindless zombie violence which clearly enabled this screenplay to be considered "Fine Hollywood Material" two years after its publication.
In short, "Divergent" stops well short of providing a new "Animal Farm", "1984", "Fahrenheit 451" or "Brave New World" for Millennials now coming of age and facing hard questions about who should lead America to its future.
That crucial treatment will apparently have to wait a multi-million dollar blockbuster sequel or two.
And several more predictable, preventable deaths in Chicago, apparently.

Unit Trusts Order Page
The role of unit trusts in business and family structures is common.
The critical elements of any trust structure include "Planning", "Distribution", "Taxation Consequences' and "Estate Planning", principally for the purpose of maximizing taxation efficiency. It is therefore essential that the use of a trust is carefully thought through in consultation with a competent advisor.
What is a trust?
A Trust basically entails equitable obligations imposed on a person (trustee) to legally hold and deal with property for the benefit of other people (beneficiaries). A Trust, unlike a corporation, is not recognized in law as a separate legal entity. The respective rights and duties of the Trustee and Beneficiaries are usually set out in the Deed evidencing the Trust. Upon execution a trust requires

Medical waste is waste which meets both of the following requirements:
1. The waste is composed of waste which is generated or produced as a result of any of the following actions:
2. The waste is any of the following:
Top of page
Any person whose act or process produces medical waste and includes, but is not limited to, a provider of health care, as defined in
subdivision (d) of Section 56.05 of the Civil Code. All of the following are examples of businesses that generate medical waste:
Medical Waste Generators in San Bernardino County who produce any medical waste are required by the California Health
and Safety Code, Medical Waste Management Act, §117705, §117720 and §17825 to register, and obtain a permit from the County's

"It is a misleading cult that teaches that the remedy of our ills is to have the law give over, once and for all, the strivings of the centuries for a rational coherence, and sink back in utter weariness to a justice that is the flickering reflection of the impulse of the moment."
--Benjamin Cardozo
Professor Nathan B. Oman
I am an assistant professor at the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at The College of William & Mary. My primary research interest is in contract law and the philosophy of private law more generally. The market is one of the central institutions of our society and it is largely made possible through the private law -- property, tort, and especially contract. Hence, not only is the study of private law extremely important for the later practice of law, but it also forces us to confront some of the most fundamental questions about how our society is organized. Thus far, my own writing in this area has focused on understanding the relationship between economic theories of contract law and moral theories of contract law.
I am also fascinated by the intersection of law and religion. Generally speaking, we think about law and religion as being about the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment. However, I believe that it is a mistake to think that the subject is exhausted by traditional questions of church and state. Religion has played a key part in developing the intellectual tradition in the West, including our jurisprudential system. Some of the world's oldest and most sophisticated legal systems are essentially religious. Hence, religion is more than simply a problem with which First Amendment doctrine must cope. It can also be a lens through which people understand the law.
I earned a BA in political science from Brigham Young University and JD from Harvard Law School, where I was on the Articles Committee of the Harvard Law Review. Prior to law school I worked on the staff of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. After law school, I clerked for the Honorable Morris Sheppard Arnold on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit and practiced law in the Washington, DC office of Sidley Austin LLP.
Finally, as a life-long Latter-day Saint, I am interested in the scholarly study of Mormonism, particularly Mormon legal experience, which is part of my interest in law and religion. Having been bitten by the blogging bug in law school, I contribute to Concurring Opinions, a popular law blog, and Times & Seasons, a group blog on Mormon issues.

I could use a little help from my friends
By Gary Bogue
Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 at 12:05 pm in Animals, Cats, dogs, Pets, Poisonous plants.
I could use a hand if you've got a moment. I'm researching information to help me answer a couple of reader questions. If anyone reading this has encountered one or both of these problems and has a successful solution for dealing with them, I'd appreciate you sharing what you did with me so I can add it to my own ideas and pass it along. I'm actually looking for as many different solutions as possible. The more, the merrier as they say. I'll also list your name with your idea if I use it.
Cat problem: A 4-year-old cat is very affectionate with a mother and her son, but every time the dad gets near him, he hisses. When the dad tries to pet the cat, it bites his hand. Any ideas on fixing this problem?
Poisonous plants and puppies: Lady is getting a boxer puppy and has been reading about plants that are poisonous to dogs. She's been checking the Internet for lists of these plants (there are many) and figures just about every plant in her house and garden is on some list of poisonous plants. Does she need to dig them all up and toss them out? She says she will if she has to. She wants to know how other people deal with this.
Thanks for any responses. I've answered both of these questions many times over the years I've been writing my newspaper column and am ready to answer them again. I'm just always looking for new ideas on these things from the actual people who've dealt with them. Thanks for your help!
[You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.]
