Church leaders in central Florida mark your calendars to attend a conference dedicated to advancing the Kingdom of Heaven. On January 21st and 22nd, pastors and leaders from 60 nations will gather in Orlando, Florida to connect with like-minded souls and receive their marching orders at the Synergize 4 Pastors Conference. Synergize 4 is a non-denominational gathering intended for those who have a desire to take their local church to the next level. According to James O. Davis, cofounder of the Billion Soul Network, and co-host of Synergize 4, "During our time together, we will be both enriched and equipped to further fulfill our divine destinies on the earth."
The Synergize 4 roster is jam-packed with world class spiritual leaders from around the globe. Leaders whose ministries are dedicated to winning souls and discipling the body of Christ. Attendees will hear from Dr. Jack Hayford. Most will remember Dr. Hayford as "Pastor Jack," founder of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California.
A keynote message will be delivered from Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, producers of "The Bible" mini-series, which was seen by over 100 million people in 2012. Mr. Burnett is best known as the producer of such popular television shows as Shark Tank, The Voice, The Apprentice, and Survivor. As a special added attraction, following the keynote address there will be a screening of their latest film "The Son of God." Pastor Rick Warren states, "The Son of God movie is the best presentation of the life of Christ in the last fifty years." In addition to attendees, Synergize 4 has 350 movie passes available for Florida pastors to give to members of their congregations. Instructions on how to obtain these "by invitation only" passes can be received through the Billion Soul Network office once registration has been completed.
According to Synergize 4 promotional material, "This historic gathering is so large, that it only comes once every two years. … Synergize 4! provides a platform for like-minded people to connect with each other and start rewarding conversations around common interests. It is a model that began in 2002 and has generated powerful friendships and important collaborations that continue today."
Join Synergize 4 Executive Producer Robb Hawks for this historic gathering. Mr. Hawks is a writer and producer of gospel stories. In 30 plus years of ministry he has visited 50 countries. His latest project is targeting unreached people groups in hard to reach places through a global outreach called "Shout." This program was designed to deliver the Gospel in a people group's language through the process known as oral tradition.

Quite by accident I stumbled upon a great huge treasure trove way back in issue 4 of the online film journal Images.
Gary Johnson has written a collection of extensive illustrated articles, beginning with "The Serials: An Introduction," a five-part series covering the history of serials from 1912 through their ultimate demise in the mid-'50s.
This is followed by detailed summaries of ten of the great serials, including Phantom Empire, Flash Gordon (tho only the first one), Zorro's Fighting Legion, Spy Smasher, and many others.

Legislators Support Summer Reading
|For the children of our state, summer is a great time for fun, friends and, now through this program, building their reading skills. Every parent and teacher knows how essential reading is to educational success and "Summer Reading at New York Libraries" will provide all of our students with a stronger foundation that will help lead them to higher achievement in school. This is the type of program that illustrates how integral libraries are to our communities and I urge all parents to visit their local library to join the summer reading fun. -- Senator John Flanagan, chair of the Senate Education Committee
Summer Reading Programs are good for students and make reading fun. I encourage all students to participate in the programs at their local libraries.-- Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan, chair of the Assembly Education Committee
Summer Reading at New York Libraries is funded through the Federal Library Services and Technology Act, with funds awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. The New York State Library is a program of the Office of Cultural Education in the New York State Education Department.

Skip to comments.Question to Freepers
Posted on 05/06/2012 4:58:59 AM PDT by Yooperman
Does the GOP and Romney want to win the Presidency? Will they ask or demand answers any of the following questions?
I'll bet the GOP and Romney will be too timid to bring up anything controverisal.
Why will you not prove your eligibility by releasing an authentic certifiable birth certificate?
Did you attend Occidental College as a foreign student and did you receive financial assistance?
Will you release the transcripts?
Will you release your adoption records?
When and why did you change your name from Barry Soetero to Barack Hussein Obama?
Did you travel to Pakistan on an American Passport?
Will you release the Passport records?
What credentials did you use to attend Harvard and Columbia Universities?
Where did you get financing?
What was your relationship with Frank Marshall Davis?
What was your relationship with William Ayers and did William Ayers write your Book Dreams of my Father?
Are you a Marxist?
Why did you choose the Marxist FORWARD for your campaign slogan?
Why did you surrender your license to practice law?
Do you have multiple Social Security numbers and why are you using a number from Connecticut?
Will you release your college and law school transcripts?
Will you release your selective service records?
Why have you sealed all records of your past? What do you have to hide?
Are you a Muslim?
Relationship to F. M. Davis, how do you spell sex toy?
IMO, the GOP will not ask any of these questions for fear of being labelled "racist".
My first quetion is...............
That's correct. GOP is the party of the appeasers and milque toasters. None of these questions will be asked for fear of upsetting our precious minorities and independents, along with our other fellow citizens - the 48% on government assistance of some kind.
No, the GOP cannot upset these people; it would be unseemly. God forbid these people loose their eternal protected status, or even worse, be defeated in an election and forced to go to [horror!] work.
Actually, it's 21 question'S' to Freepers
Romney may want to win it, but the GOP sure as hell don't.
How did Zer0 get all of disperate records sealed? Was by court order in every case?
If the GOP wanted to win the Presidency, Romney would be the last guy they would nominate.
Well, the first question will make them look like idiots. So they won't ask it. Obama and his campaign will point to the very public press release at the WH of the LFBC.
(I don't want to hear about or discuss claims of forgery. I'm just telling you what would happen with respect to the first question ... because you asked.)
We've already been labeled racist, so there no reason not to ask these questions. Yet GOP elites are still afraid of the media. They don't have the nerve to call them out as un-american Call Brian williams un-american, Leslie Stahl a communist, Charlies Rose a useful idiot, Rachael Maddyke a filthy communist, Juan Williams a race hustler stooge. Romney should attack the media, because Twains admonition of you don't argue with people who buy Ink by the barrel, is no longer in play. They are buying it by the quart and there is plenty of opposition to the Drive-by media.
Those are all pertinent questions, but they are not the best ones to help get him out of office. 50% of the electorate see them as personal attacks on him and will turn a deaf ear.
The only question that needs answering is this, and it has already been brought up by Romney; "Are you better off today, than you were four years ago?"
Only 1 out of 100 can answer yes, regardless of their political affiliation, creed, or color. Gas has been 3.50 or more for 18 months, there are no jobs available, hours have been cut, wages have gone down....even government workers and labor unions are feeling it now.
Housing prices are still dropping, foreclosures are up, loans are still generally unavailable, and the housing industry is still on life support.
The cost of food is up, health care costs are up, and people are out of reserves!
We need to focus on what will unite opposition to Obama, not what divides....the goal is to get his a** out of office. Once that happens, all questions about Obama become moot.
Romney has the right approach. It is the economy, and we are not stupid.
It makes me sick to think of having to vote for a liberal Mitt Romney, but I could go to the polls happy if he would ask only half of those question of Barrack Hussein Obama.
I would smile if he had the balls to ask only one of them.
Yes. Obama has hurt everyone economically. It's Obama's ticket to history's septic tank.
The GOP only wants to be able to say, "It's not my fault". It has sold it's sould to the Leftist insistence that it play by non-existent rules and it hasn't the balls to put forth any of the policies that might give us a fighting chance. The GOP is dead and waiting for the stink of its rot to become pervasive before it gets buried.
That renders all the other questions moot.
Who will rise up out of the ashes and save us?
Too bad Herman Cain appeared when he did. If he had been a Herman-come-lately, maybe there would not have been time to bring him down.
"The GOP is dead and waiting for the stink of its rot to become pervasive before it gets buried."
The RINO "republican in name only" moniker no longer has meaning... flip flopping and waffling IS the new republican identity... the new epithet should be TRs..."true republicans".
How ever, seeing as today's so called conservative leadership is telling us that a person cannot be a true conservative without voting for liberals, abortion, gun control, obama care, and LGBT issues when expedient, perhaps the new acronym "CINO" will emerge in the political lexicon.
No one will be asking anything. The GOP and the RATS are one and the same. It won't matter to them which one wins because it's all same.
Just like they didn't want Sarah, um, McLame to win last time.
Good Q...
Last month -- on this thread: Liberal attacks on Mitt Romney's Mormonism begin to intensify ... I linked these 11 threads:
* The Muslim Side of Obama [Posted June 3, 2009]
* Muammar Qadafi Acknowledges that Barack Hussein Obama is Muslim,/a> [Posted Oct. 6, 2008]
* Muslim Obama: WILL STAND WITH MUSLIMS SHOULD POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN UGLY DIRECTION [Posted March 29, 2008]
* Obama's pro-Muslim words [Posted Nov. 23, 2009]
* Obama's Five Pillars of ............ [Posted April 14, 2009]
* David Limbaugh: Is Obama a Christian? [Posted Aug. 27, 2010]
* Connect all the dots on Barack Hussein Obama [Posted Oct. 10, 2008]
* Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood [Posted April 29, 2008]
* NY Times Pulls Kristof's Piece with Obama's Muslim Call to Prayer [Posted Sept. 8, 2008]
* Mideast leader: Obama a Muslim who studied in Islamic schools [Posted Oct. 17, 2008]
* My Muslim President Obama (02.25.09) [Posted Feb. 25, 2012]
Much as I like Hermain Cain, it's obvious he doesn't have the mettle to take on the communists.
Romney only attacks one thing - conservatives.
Just like McLame, Boner and Looger.
Btw, Luger's political hours are numbered ....
And now, Something Completely Different:
The GOPee will be giving away lawn tractors to big donors.
The tractors won't have steering wheels or seats.
They recognize that by offering up Romney,
we've lost our a**e*
and don't know
which way to turn.
Try the veal—it's the best in the city.
And take my wife ... please.
(tap tap) Is this thing on?
I'm all for asking Obama these Qs...and getting the MSM to ask them would be a start [and a minor miracle]...
As for the GoP, no, they won't force these issues...Romney has his own "closet" issues:
* If you were really "spirit-born" on another planet or star called Kolob, as you yourself claim, how can we prove that you're not an alien sent here for unknown purposes?
* Since you say you were raised as a spirit on Kolob by a divine mother and a former man-become-God, and they adopted you out to earthly parents, will you go public on how that adopting-out came about?
* When you travelled from Kolob to Planet Earth, even though you found safe passage in the womb of your mother, why haven't you been in favor of allowing that same safe passport of other spirits from Kolob by advocating for their right to be aborted?
* Do you believe in a sacred book -- Lds Doctrine & Covenants -- that sanctions communism? (Called the United Order)
* Is the United Order to be "everlasting" according to the "prophet" you believe in?
* You say you endeavor to follow the "faith of your fathers"; why have you not distanced yourself from that faith that wound up influencing Russia's communism?
Sources re: last three Questions --
|Mormon 'scripture'; Mormon history
|Mitt's Mormonism embraced socialism/communism under the 'United Order' sacred commands still on the Mormon scriptures depicted to be everlasting commandments of the Mormon god
|The Mormon socialistic/communistic everlasting nature of the United Order depicted in Lds scriptures Doctrine & Covenants 82:18-19 and 104:1, 48, 53.
|Even Lds author George Givens described Brigham Youngs communist-built community of Orderville, Utah as pure communism: "When Brigham Young established Orderville and similar United Orders, John Taylor was less than enthusiastic. He realized that enterprises such as Orderville were pure communism and not the law of consecration. He made this plain after he became President, when in 1882 he sent an epistle to all authorities of the Church in which he bluntly stated: 'We had no example of the 'United Order' in accordance with the word of God on the subject...Our relations with the world and our own imperfections prevent the establishment of this system [i.e. the system of consecration and stewardship spoken of at times as the 'United Order'] at the present time, as was stated by Joseph in an early day, it cannot yet be carried out.'" (George W. Givens, 500 More Little-Known Facts in Mormon History, 2004, p. 169)"One of the most famous utopian books ever written was Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy, published in 1889. Some scholars believe Looking Backward had considerable influence in the making of Lenin's Soviet Russia. If this is true, then [ensuing Lds "prophet"] Lorenzo Snow and the Latter-day Saints must receive some of the credit--or blame. Hearing of the success of the United Order in Brigham City, Edward Bellamy made a special trip to Utah in 1886 to study its operation. There he spent three days with Lorenzo Snow, Brigham City's founder and forty-year resident. Impressed with the thirty to forty industries run by its 2,000 inhabitants and the vitality at that time of one of the most successful United Orders, Bellamy returned home and wrote his influential book." (500 More Little-Known Facts in Mormon History, p. 185).
Way to go, 19th century Mormon leader-prophets of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor & Lorenzo Snow!!! They all unwittingly fueled Soviet Communism!
* Are you a "god in embryo" -- as one of your "prophets" claimed that you were?
Sources of this last question:
Many people know of Spencer W. Kimball, the 12th "prophet" of the Lds church (1973-1985), as the man who allowed blacks to become Mormon priests in 1978.
But did you know Mormonism teaches you are all "gods in embryo"???(And Kimball was one of its key proponents)
Did you know that Mormonism teaches the false "gospel" of self-transformation -- of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps to become a god? (And Kimball was one of its key proponents)
Spencer W. Kimball on these very topics:
1969 "Being a god in embryo with the seeds of godhood neatly tucked away in him, and with the power to become a god eventually, man need not despair...he must...transform himself..." (Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, pp. 173-174)
A couple he was advising in Kimball's office "did not understand that forgiveness is not a thing of days or months or even years but is a matter of intensity of feeling and transformation of self...This couple seemed to have no conception of satisfying the Lord, of paying the total penalties and obtaining a release..." (Ibid, p. 156)
To Kimball, you had to "pay the total penalties" for your sin -- vs. that being a role occupied by the true Jesus Christ.
September, 1974: Man can transform himself and he must. Man has in himself the seeds of godhood, which can germinate and grow and develop. As the acorn becomes the oak, the mortal man becomes a god. It is within his power to lift himself by his very bootstraps from the plane on which he finds himself to the plane on which he should be. It may be a long, hard lift with many obstacles, but it is a real possibility. Source: http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=6057 (Spencer W. Kimball speech entitled Be Ye Therefore Perfect 9/17/74 devotional address @ BYU)
1975: Man is created in the image of God. He is a god in embryo. He has the seeds of godhood within him, and he can, if he is normal, pick himself up by his bootstraps and literally move himself from where he is to where he shows he should be." Source: http://emp.byui.edu/marrottr/LovevsLust.pdf, "Love vs. Lust," Spencer W. Kimball, Provo: BYU Publications, 1975
November 1977: Self-mastery, then, is the key, and every person should study his own life, his own desires and wants and cravings, and bring them under control. Man can transform himself and he must. Man has in himself the seeds of godhood, which can germinate and grow and develop. As the acorn becomes the oak, the mortal man becomes a god. It is within his power to lift himself by his very bootstraps from the plane on which he finds himself to the plane on which he should be. It may be a long, hard lift with many obstacles, but it is a real possibility. To be perfect, one can turn to many areas as a starting place....As we have stated before, the way to perfection seems to be a changing of ones lifeto substitute the good for the evil in every case. Source: By President Spencer W. Kimball An address given to students of Weber State College, Ogden, Utah on 4 November 1977 http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=244ed0640b96b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD
July, 1978 Ensign Magazine: Lds church officially endorses Kimball Weber State College comments by publishing them in their official magazine
This quote also becomes part of Chapter 19 of what Lds officially teach college students in their Institute curricula: See http://institute.lds.org/manuals/doctrines-of-the-gospel-student-manual/doc-gosp-11-20-19.asp
All are questions I would love to know the answers to. However as a campaign strategy, not the way to win votes from the "undecided".
Romney has the right approach. It is the economy, and we are not stupid.
We might not be. But most of the general population.. well.. I'm not so sure. When your in the wagon and getting a government check you tend to vote to keep that check coming.
Obama knows this, and he is exploiting it.

Random thoughts

What's up with that?
They did include people involved with marlins ticket sales or stadium operations for baseball.
Apparently, they also included a guy who I like and respect who worked in the dolphins media department. Why him? I have no idea but it bugs me in a way.
I mean, Stephen Ross is still paying off the smelly tuna's salary (for a job he never actually did) and then lets go of at least one decent, hard working guy who was a loyal member of the team.
Seems kind of wrong to me.
Fins radio
There are some good, entertaining shows.
And on the finside is changing days. This week they have a beat writer for the post. That ought to be fun.

Changing tides
And those got me to thinking about how players really perceive Sparano. An insider tipped me off to the fact that more than a few players are totally aware of the offseason shenanigans around their coach, and thought he was a 1 year coach. Essentially meaning that it was a win ... Or else scenario.
And so at 0-3 I asked if that meant players were ready to give up on Sparano. Silence followed by a company line about being professional speaks volumes.
I would not be surprised to see the tides turn soon. It's an easy leap to just giving up on the coach.
Oh and by the way Ross made a comment this week that Sparano wasn't "keeping up his end of the bargain" whatever the heck that means. Think players don't pay attention to the lack of confidence by the owner?

Losing cheap
A little context here. In other sports, baseball in particular, one team can go out an spend wildly on free agents and have a very bloated payroll. While another team might go out and spend maybe 25% of that. The high payroll team will likely be in contention, and will sell out many games. The low payroll team will not be anywhere near contention and will have a lot of empty seats.
But who makes more money? Surprisingly, they both make a profit due to revenue sharing. And while the high payroll team makes a higher number, the lower payroll team will also garner a nice profit. As a percentage of what they expend, the lower payroll team often does better.
Now football is different due to the salary cap. But in this year's - and next year's - cap, there some wiggle room. While the NFL as a whole has to spend 90% of the cap space, there are some teams with payrolls that exceed the cap, meaning that they are 100%+, so another team can be 90%-. And even that overall aggregate 90% is a little misleading. There are still some back salaries to pay out, sometimes to players no longer around. And that means there are some teams that went more youth, no high priced free agents, and have a lot of cap space.
Miami is one such team. And they reportedly have at least $8 million in cap space. So maybe they go 4-12. But with revenue sharing, they will make money anyway. Maybe not as much as the Cowboys or Redskins, but Mr. Ross will post a profit.
And so in a way they are "losing cheap" because he decided to take less of a profit, and spend less. Thus, as a percentage of what he spends, he's doing okay.
Sources inside tell us that he instructed Ireland to not spend on free agency, to let it ride and grow the team with a youth movement.
Who knows what he has in mind...but like many of you, I am losing faith in the Dolphins ownership to to the right thing and try and win games - rather than strictly treating it as a business...
Tell us, Chad
I know one thing about these guys, they're not going to stop quitting
Sunday, September 25, 2011
Given the offensive performance, Miami would have been blown out by a good team. In a word, they stunk, and couldn't beat my grandmother. And on defense, the ONLY reason it stayed close was because Colt [edit: McCoy] had a really tough first half - don't kid yourself and think Miami was good on defense. They weren't.
Okay, so I had Tivo'd the game and started watching about two hours in. I did the old "fast forwarding through the cover-your-eyes-awful parts" and made it to the third quarter, before I had to leave for a couple of hours. And so I stopped watching and came back to it later. And it was such an odd feeling because I was totally apathetic. I felt no emotion, and though I was curious about who won, I didn't feel any angst in not seeing it.
Funny thing: Dan Lebatard had an article in today's paper about how a loss would propel most fans into the realm of tuning it out - I was already there.
Anyway, as far the game itself, the Phins allowed, I dunno, 7 sacks in the game, and I think they failed to get to Brennan (or at least that's how it felt). Colombo looked bad. Carey and his replacement Jerry looked bad. Pouncey whiffed a few times. And Jake Long? Wow, he is a shell of himself. They should give him more time to rehab - he is not doing much out there....
Nolan Carroll started for the injured Vontae Davis. And once again, Sparano should have cut him during the game. His performance was a-trow-shus. It was freakin' unbelievable. Jason Taylor was only noticeable when he went offsides, and Cameron Wake was invisible. Does Miami even have linebackers on the roster?
And of course, they had trouble scoring in the redzone. There were too many penalties.
The last series for Miami on defense summed up the kind of day they were having (allowed a TD on it). And the last series on offense pretty much summed up the season: Miami got the ball near midfield due to a celebration penalty and a horse-collar tackle. They needed maybe 10 yards to be in Carpenter's range.
And so they went incomplete deep pass, incomplete deep pass, short pass, interception. The playcalls left me perplexed, except that maybe they were trying to give Henne a chance to win it - y'know put the ball in his hands and win it all in one play. But it just shows what I have been saying for a while now - he is NOT going to win you a game himself!
I felt bad in a way. Not because they lost, but because late I was, well, I was actually rooting against the Dolphins. Not that I wanted them to lose, just that I felt like my point during this entire offseason was missed by readers, and it validates what I have been saying all along. This team did not get any better, in fact I would argue they got worse.
Oh and by the way, here's something I have been thinking about: as you look around the league, many QBs have been looking good. Scoring has been up. There's a lot of passing yardage being racked up. And over time, I think you'll see defenses catch up (its not uncommon for offenses to be ahead in the preseason, and this year with the lockout, it makes sense it would happen during the first few weeks of the season). And as it relates to the Fins, Chad Henne looked decent early on, but, its clear that he's not as good as his stats would have you believe.
So the dolphins are 0-3, and at this point, I would say this season is a total waste. Why? Because it seems clear to me that there will be a house cleaning this offseason. And so the flirting Cap'n Izzy did in nearly firing the Booting Bull (Sparano) and then keeping him just delayed the inevitable.
A bad season - with no upside - appears to be the storyline. If he had replaced Sparano, at least we'd be building under a new coach. Instead, we're just left to wonder who the next coach will be, whether Ireland will survive, and if the Dolphins will take Luck with the first overall pick.
Its just so.....stupid.

What does PG mean?
PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.
Are all PG films made for younger audiences?
No. Some films are given a PG certificate but have not been made with a young audience in mind. A recent example of a film mostly enjoyed by grown ups but passed PG would be Saving Mr. Banks. However, the certificate means that any issues in the work are appropriate for the majority of this age group and nothing should upset a child of eight or over.
What sort of themes are passed at PG?
A PG film will not contain any theme which is inappropriate for a child. PG works can explore challenging issues such as bullying, bereavement or racism.
Will there be bad language in a PG film?
There may be mild bad language (such as 'shit' or 'son of a bitch') in a PG film, but the context and delivery are always important. For example, if the language is used aggressively or if there is a great deal of bad language, a work may be passed at a higher category.
What about sex?
Sex references are unlikely unless they are undetailed and infrequent. In addition, if a child is unlikely to understand a reference, we may allow it at PG. Comedy can also often lessen the impact of sex references and innuendo.
Sex and sex references are treated the same irrespective of sexuality so there could be mild or undetailed references at PG.
What about violence or threat at PG?
Violence will usually be mild. There should be no detail of violence in a PG work, so while there might be some blood, we would not see how the injury was inflicted in strong detail. Violence is generally more acceptable in a historical, comedic or fantasy setting, because of the distancing that this provides. It isn't uncommon for PG films to feature 'roller-coaster' action or set pieces, where the emphasis is clearly on the adventure or journey of the main characters rather than the detail of violence or fighting.
As far as threat and horror goes, we allow some 'jump' moments and frightening sequences as long as they are not prolonged or intense.. Fantasy settings may again be a factor in the treatment of such content.
What about behaviour children might copy?
In a PG work, potentially dangerous or antisocial behaviour which young children are likely to copy, such as bullying, or playing with electricity, will not be condoned or seen to go unchallenged, especially if it comes across as safe or fun. Realistic or easily accessible weapons, such as knives, will not be glamorised or focused upon in a PG work. Smoking and drinking will not be promoted or glamorised and if child characters are seen smoking or drinking, there should be a clear message that this is bad. If drugs are mentioned or seen, a PG work should either represent them in an innocuous manner or emphasise that they are harmful.
Will there be any drugs in a PG?
There might be innocuous or passing references to illegal drugs or drugs misuse in a PG work, although there should be no strong focus on this. In addition drug references may be permissible if there is a clear anti-drugs or educational message likely to be understood by children eight or over.
How can I find out more about a PG film or DVD video?
Please check the BBFCinsight for the film or video you are thinking of watching. You may find BBFCinsight on this website or on our free App as well as on film posters, DVD and Blu-ray packaging, and on some listings. You will also find it attached to some film and video content which is available to download. It provides comprehensive information on exactly why a film or video has been given a particular category. All the issues are discussed in detail and parents in particular can use this information to make informed decisions when choosing viewing material for their children.
A guide to BBFCinsight is available here.

Dai Henwood, comedian, telly host - and total tea fan.
My happy place is sitting in the backyard doing my own take on a Japanese/Chinese tea ceremony. I'm a tea enthusiast and connoisseur and it's my meditative place to be. I try to do it once a day, in the early morning sun if I can, for about 30 minutes. If I'm not in my happy place when I sit down, it puts me in my happy place. It's such a juxtaposition from doing comedy, and it feeds the quieter part of my personality.
I drink a tea called Pu-erh. It's a fermented tea from China that can be up to 50 years old, and it comes in a cake form. You have to rinse it out and brew it a couple of times. You can brew it up to seven times, and it becomes quite a ceremony. It's not something that can be judged in a scientific way - it's not this-many-leaves-for-this-many-minutes. It's something that should be brewed slowly and you have to take time over. It's incredibly peaceful and I like the smell of it and I love the accoutrements that go with it.
When I first tried drinking tea I was 15 and doing School Certificate, and I read somewhere that it was very good for your brain. So I drank heaps of green tea one day and got really sick.
It ruined three days of study. I didn't really enjoy the taste but I was at the age that I forced myself to enjoy it. It was the same with punk music. I didn't like that at first either, but because my friends were into it ...
Growing up I was always the class clown, but I definitely had this other side of me that was more peaceful. I've always been fascinated by Buddhism and Taoism. I studied drama and Eastern religion at university. I discovered Pu-erh when my father was performing The Phantom of the Opera in Japan. I'd stay with him, and perform at the Tokyo Comedy Festival, and investigate eastern religion and meditation.
Everyone else I know just drinks white with one, and I'm happy enough to dip a Choysa teabag in a cup, just like my parents do. And I do drink coffee, but not as much. I find coffee is more grab it, put it in the cup, slam it down and I'm off. I think more and more people are moving into tea, and it's going to have a resurgence in the next 10 years.

Melody Demetria Onyonyor, 35, of La Grange, Georgia has been arrested and is charged with second degree child cruelty and female genital mutilation; also known as female circumcision
Melody Onyonyor is being held in Troup County jail, awaiting her first court appearance. The judge will decide then whether she is to have bond set or not.
Melody Onyonyor: Woman Charged With Female Genital Mutilation Of Infant Daughter ( Video )
For reasons not clear at this time, the 10 month old infant daughter of Melody Demetria Onyonyor was in the temporary custody of her natural father when one of his relative's noticed that the baby appeared to have been circumcised. The infant was immediately taken to Children's Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia for examination.
Doctors concluded that the baby's clitoris had been surgically removed.
Onyonyor was arrested after Department of Family and Children's Services notified the Troup County Sheriff's Office about the gruesome case.
Female circumcision is a procedure involving the total or partial removal of any external female genitalia. It's generally performed without anesthesia in less civilized countries as part of a cultural or religious beliefs.
According to survivors of such female genital mutilation, it is extremely painful. I have no doubt they are correct!
So why would a mother do this to her child? Is it her culture?
My problem with that is while yes, people that come to our country legally have a right to embrace their beliefs, they do not have the right to mutilate their child in any way, shape or form. How could she not be aware that we do not condone such treatment in the USA?
We do not even know if it was religious, cultural or just plain meanness that lead Melody Onyonyor to allegedly play doctor with her child's life, but we want to make sure it never happens again!
If not for the father of the infant, and his relatives stepping forward, who knows what else this little one would have had to endure?
If you have any thoughts on Melody Onyonyor: Woman Charged With Female Genital Mutilation Of Infant Daughter ( Video ), please share them with us.

Classify Your Breasts: Conical Breast Shape
- Published by
- Posted on
- Leave your thoughts
The base of the breast is typical, but the breast shape is more cone-like than round with the conical breast shape. This conical shape can have issues with filling out the front of the cup. A cup will look like it's too big, while the underwire fits the breast base just fine. Conical breasts are a little unusual, and tend to exist in the smaller cup sizes (c cup size or less).
Bra Suggestions:
- Contour cups bras (bras with a thin layer of foam in the cups) and a wide center panel will create a nice shape and fit well.
- Small pads called "cookies" can be inserted into you bra's cups along the bottom to help give you more breast volume and fill out your bra cups.
- Push-up bras that both push up from the bottom and in from the sides will give you your fullest look and possible cleavage. A & B cup sizes will look best in heavily padded push-up bras. Make sure you adjust your breast tissue to make sure it is resting on top of the padding for optimal cleavage effect.
- Minimizer bras (if you are C cup or larger) will give you a great rounded fit because their design goal is to round your breast projection.
- Bandeau bras are an option because they can compress a conical breast shape and make them look more round. But, they also can make you look small-chested. Bandeau bras with underwires and lightly padded cups will look best.
- Compression sports bras help to give your breasts a more rounded shape.
- Avoid unstructured bras and bralettes – their lack of shaping tends to give you a less attractive silhouette.

Brandi Glanville was the topic of discussion on "The Wendy Williams Show," and she was criticized for being desperate for media attention. Wetpaint reports on Friday that the panel on the show felt Glanville went too far by calling her child inappropriate names on her podcast. She was accused of using her family to get headlines, and Williams suggested she keep her children out of her podcasts.
Glanville has been at the center of a new controversy because she referred to her son using curse words and has decided not to apologize. The hot talk panel on "The Wendy Williams Show" decided to address her podcast, and the members shared strong opinions with the public. Siggy Flicker mentioned that Glanville was obsessed with staying relevant and keeping her spot in the headlines, so she was willing to use her children to get the media's attention.
Williams pointed out that Glanville should not have used curse words to describe her son in a public podcast. Instead, she felt this type of conversation was more appropriate for the kitchen and private moments. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has not responded to Williams or her panel of critics, but she has tried to talk to some of her followers on Twitter.
Many fans of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" felt Glanville went too far on her podcast and should have left her sons out of the mess. She has attempted to explain these were adult jokes that should not be misunderstood. However, fans have pointed out on social media that her words could be seen as hurtful, and there is a strong possibility her son would become aware of her podcast. Some followers have even suggested her children may seek revenge once they are older with their own posts and podcasts about Glanville.

text: May 10, 2013 21:34 Tulane Avenue business owners seek to turn around beleaguered thoroughfare Tulane Avenue business owners seek to turn around beleaguered thoroughfare Advocate staff photo by JOHN McCUSKER -- The Greater Mid-City Business Association wants the city to enforce existing laws so the newly announced revitalization of the Tulane Avenue corridor will continue to attract investment. Before the interstate, Tulane Avenue was the main route into the city and a vital corridor. Advocate staff photo by JOHN McCUSKER -- Business people Pauline Patterson, Josef Wright, Stephen Patterson, Justin Pitard and Christy Pitard are seen Tuesday on Tulane Avenue. The Tulane Avenue corridor has seen plenty of new investment recently, including the new $10 million streetscaping project to begin later this year, but area business leaders are concerned that blighted properties and persistent criminal activity will hamper revitalization efforts. BY DANNY MONTEVERDE| New Orleans bureau Comments NEW ORLEANS — There is a wall in Justin Pitard's Tulane Avenue po-boy shop that offers a glimpse of the past and a hope for the future. A handful of black-and-white photos show the avenue when it was the gateway to the city, a bustling thoroughfare with a wide, grassy neutral ground and businesses and homes that stretched from South Carrollton Avenue to South Claiborne Avenue. It is a scene in stark contrast to Tulane Avenue today, with its vacant lots, blight, crime and code-enforcement problems. Those are not insurmountable issues, say some business owners, but they said they need the city to address them now in order to rejuvenate the avenue once known as "The Miracle Mile." Pitard, who opened Avery's Po-Boys a little more than a year ago, said he opened his business in the area because of the work on the new Veterans Affairs hospital and University Medical Center. But, he added, there is an "outrageous" amount of prostitution that goes on at Tulane Avenue's motels and even more drug dealing. New Orleans Police Department crime maps show there have been dozens of assaults and gun crimes and one murder on Tulane Avenue since Jan. 1, with several other killings just a few blocks away. Police have previously made prostitution busts at some motels on the avenue. Beyond the hospital construction, there has been other private development along Tulane Avenue and a $10 million streetscape project to reduce the number of lanes from six to four. Widening the neutral ground is planned. Josef Wright, executive vice president of the Greater Mid-City Business Association, said his organization is calling on the city to step up its code-enforcement efforts in an effort to begin a turnaround on Tulane once those projects are done. "We have a chance to permanently solve the problems on Tulane Avenue," he said. "Code enforcement is an aim." District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell said Tulane Avenue is one of her concerns and agreed that stronger enforcement is needed. She is working with Councilwomen Kristin Gisleson Palmer and Stacy Head to strengthen code enforcement laws while raising standards for commercial properties. In the meantime, she said, her office has begun to notify some problem businesses and property owners of illegal practices they might support. Sometimes, she said, business owners might not realize they are breaking the law and change their behaviors; other times it's a matter of ignoring the law as a way to make a quick buck. "We're letting them know we know their culture, and it's unacceptable," Cantrell said. This is not the first time there's been an effort to polish Tulane Avenue's appearance. Sixty-two years ago when the city tried to revitalize the corridor, officials dubbed Tulane "The Miracle Mile," ripped out the neutral ground, eliminated the streetcar, made it a six-lane road and prohibited left turns in all but a few spots. The pending streetscape project will reverse much of that work on an avenue that still bears many scars from Hurricane Katrina. "That'll be the new face of Tulane Avenue," Cantrell said. "It needs it." Stephen and Pauline Patterson are taking a gamble on Tulane Avenue as part of those who are trying to change its face. The owners of Finn McCool's, the popular Irish Pub on Banks Street, have plans to open Treo, an art gallery with a movie theater and cocktail "laboratory" in the 3800 block of Tulane. While they said they realize it will not be easy to change Tulane Avenue, they said they are up to the challenge. "We can't wait until the hospital is done," Stephen Patterson said. "We need to start now." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

• charisma •
kê-riz-mê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. (No plural) A magnetic attraction that allows someone to influence others. 2. A favor from God, an unusual talent or gift, such as a charisma for creating miracles.
Notes: Today's Good Word was Anglicized to charism for a while but then was reborrowed from Greek, along with the Greek plural, charismata. If you have charisma, you are charismatic, which allows you to do things charismatically.
In Play: We most often hear this word in its first sense above: "The charisma of the new Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has boosted the spirits of the Republican presidential campaign." We should not forget its spiritual implication, however: "Unless you have a charisma for foreseeing the future, you should take an umbrella with you to work today."
Word History: Today's Good Word is the Greek word kharisma "divine favor" from kharis "grace, favor". In Germanic languages it picked up N as a suffix, becoming gern "willingly, happily", used in many phrases meaning "to like". In English the initial G became Y, giving us yearn. The R in the root apparently also underwent metathesis (switched places with the vowel) and also became greedy. In Latin the same underlying root went into the creation of hortari "to encourage, urge", the verb underlying hortatorius, which English borrowed as hortatory. (We offer Doug Smith a hortatory word of thanks to encourage him to send us more Good Words like charisma.)

I am a one year uterine cancer survivor. i was blessed and it was caught very early, i was 37, and also had full hysterectomy. right now she needs your support. Just knowing that you still love her no matter what. If she is anything like me, she is going through a range of emotions. Sometimes the best thing you can do for her is simply listen. there were times when i just wanted to forget about it all, even for only an hour. watch a movie, read a funny book, etc. Prayer was the best comfort for me and my family as well. I will pray for you and your wife. Be strong and remember that there is hope

|Vandals in third after first round
Senior Kayla Mortellaro had a couple hiccups in her opening round of the Western Athletic Conference Women's Golf Championship Tournament but she came back with the steady and spectacular to head into the second 18 in second and just two strokes off the first-day total of Hawai`i's Charlee Kapiioho.
Mortellaro's round – combined with that of fellow senior Teo Poplawski, freshman Leilanie Kim and sophomore Rachel Choi, put the Vandals in third at 301 with 36 holes to play. San Jose State leads after the first round with a 291 with Hawai`i second at 299. New Mexico State is at 302 with Fresno State (305) and Nevada (319) rounding out the field.
"We're still very much in the hunt," coach Lisa Johnson said. "Overall, the team is upbeat and excited for the next two rounds. As always, though, we want to play it one shot at a time."
Mortellaro parred her first hole before a double bogey on the second. She finished the front nine with two birdies and five pars to make the turn at even-par 36. After a bogey to start the back nine, she had a run of three pars before a birdie on the par-4 14th and an eagle on the par-5 15th dropped her to two under, which is where she stayed through the final three holes.
Johnson said the course can favor long hitters and that the Vandals didn't necessarily have their best ball striking day of the season.
"They did a good job of staying positive and grinding out their rounds from some very challenging situations," Johnson said. "I'm very impressed with how Kayla played - especially on the back nine."
Johnson also lauded the play of Poplawski and Choi, who had two eagle opportunities after reaching the par-5s in two.
Poplawski finished the day at three-over 75, which came via a five-bogey, two-birdie round. Kim had an up-and-down round, which included two double bogeys but three birdies en route to her 77. Choi had a similar round with two doubles, two birdies and five bogeys on her way to a 79. Kaitlyn Oster rounded out the team for the Vandals with an 82, which was the result of 10 bogeys during the course of her 18 holes.
