Aaron Sorkin remembers Steve Jobs... and the Pixar movie that never was
If I haven't said anything here (or anywhere else, for that matter) about the passing of Steve Jobs, it's because it seems redundant to add thoughts when others are doing so with much more personal specificity -- about the only thing to be gained from this sad loss has been the outpouring of personal testaments to his culture-changing work, both from those who knew him and those who didn't.
Or those who fall somewhere in between, as in this oddly touching tribute in Newsweek from star screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, a longtime Mac evangelist who cultivated a semi-friendship with Jobs purely by phone -- initiated by the Apple CEO himself. It's not difficult to see how these two quick-witted, hardworking peddlers of American ideals might have found common ground; neither is it surprising to hear that Jobs was a fan of Sorkin's snappy, contemporary writing.
Still,Sorkin's chief memory of Jobs is in a considerably lighter vein, concerning a creative proposal made to him that, again, isn't too hard to imagine as a reality -- Jobs, it seems, wanted a reluctant Sorkin to write a Pixar movie. From the Newsweek piece, here's Sorkin's recollection of their phone conversation:
ME: I just—I don't think I can make inanimate objects talk.
STEVE: Once you make them talk they won't be inanimate.
ME: The truth is I don't know how to tell those stories. I have a young kid who loves Pixar movies and she'll turn cartwheels if I tell her I'm writing one and I don't want to disappoint her by writing the only bad movie in the history of Pixar.
STEVE: Jeez ... write about THAT.
I don't know about you, but Sorkin's hypothetical Pixar film kind of writes itself in my head: I can hear precisely how the slick, flip rhythms of his trademark dialogue would fit in the heightened Pixar universe. Jobs, in case it hasn't been stated often enough, was no fool. Who knows, perhaps someday Sorkin will see his point. Read the rest of the piece here.

Skip to comments.Forcing People to Buy Health Insurance, Its Like Making People Sign Up for the Draft
Posted on 11/11/2009 4:30:01 PM PST by antonia
listen to recording http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/checker.aspx?v=Gd6UZu2GkU
Specifically where in the Constitution does Congress get its authority to mandate that individuals purchase health insurance? CNSNews.com asked Reed.
Let me see, said Reed. I would have to check the specific sections, so Ill have to get back to you on the specific section. But it is not unusual that the Congress has required individuals to do things, like sign up for the draft and do many other things too, which I dont think are explicitly contained [in the Constitution].
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
That's Sen. Reed that is being quoted.
It's making people buy something they don't want to buy. IOW ... a TAX!
Every congressbilgebag that votes for this is a traitor.
AFAIK, this has always been their talking point for this objection.
Maybe, if it costs you $10,000 to $15,000 to sign up, and you have to sign up every year.
So then, in the future, depending upon income or subsidies, it could be mandatory to:
buy a car(s),
a house(s),
a health club membership,
add your own...
Most folks have a bike and like their own, but don't want the government to take their current bike and force them to buy a government designed bike.
Some very few people have no need of a bike. Too bad, the government is now forcing everyone to buy the government issued bike.
Brings to mind a visual:
Not that it matters, but that would be the rEEd from Rhode Island. Or SS-DA Same Stuff-Different Ahole
Forcing people to buy 'health insurance' is an invitation to early death! (and unconstitutional)
Insurance won't work if it insures only "sick" people. Everyone that can afford it should buy insurance and if you have to threaten them it's OK with me. Poor people,temporarily unemployed and children get financial help. Besides, everyone needs it eventually since we are all mortal. And, an open nationwide market with many insurance companies participating also keeps competition high and costs low. No public option needed at all. And we need serious malpractice reform. Any Questions?
draft? oh.. that's what they have discussed for those doctors that decide to quit instead of working 80 hrs/week for 1/2 the pay
please describe to me the type of person that should not have health insurance (immortal is not a realistic answer).
People who have come to this country ILLEGALLY thereby breaking our laws. US citizens should not pay for their healthcare. They have healthcare in Mexico and other places.
Please tell me you are not one of "them".
Excellent analogy.
Insurance won't work if it insures only "sick" people. Everyone that can afford it should buy insurance and if you have to threaten them it's OK with me.
It ain't okay with me though! I prefer the system the founders intended, if you don't want health insurance you don't buy any and if you can't pay when you need medical care you don't get any unless some kind physician decides to treat you pro bono. To hell with this cradle to grave government running every detail of life, that life isn't worth living. Do you have any concept of the word FREEDOM?
For what it's worth, the draft is also unconstitutional (per the 13th Amendment).
Are they using as precedent to make us buy stuff, the Militia Act of 1792/95 as quoted below?
I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia... and ...shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder...
please describe to me the type of person that should not have health insurance (immortal is not a realistic answer).
You miss the whole point, I own a house with no mortgage, I should have fire insurance and I do but the damned government doesn't tell me that I have to buy fire insurance or pay a fine or go to jail. If I don't buy insurance and my house burns down and I can't afford to replace it I should be able to live in a tent on my land. We don't want to live in a prison camp, okay?
The Constitution has a mandate for the protection of the people with regard to their safety. It has no mandate for making sure that there is a money pool from the taxpayers for the lawyers to dip into with their malpractice lawsuits.
Just examine this: Is there anything in what the Democrats have put together that protects the moneys from the taxes they collect from gigantic lawsuits by malpractice lawyers? It looks to me like the Democrats are avoiding the real problem with medical costs: that being the malpractice lawsuits which is stealing from the country's medical budget. Ask your doctor when you go next what percentage of what he charges you for a visit goes to insurance. When you find this out, you will be greatly shocked. I am not a doctor. I do civil engineering. If they were suing us like they are suing the doctors, I'd pump gas first.
This is incredible what the Democrats are doing to us. We are working hard to get along. They are going to tax us until there is nothing left to provide this plan. Look to your left, look to your right, where are these rich they are going to get all this magic money from? They've been taxing the rich for 50 years. Why do we keep getting hurt in the end?
"Everyone that can afford it should buy insurance and if you have to threaten them it's OK with me."
Hows about if you can afford it (to be determined by whose wisdom I'm scared to ask) and you don't have it, you shoulder the bill. If you can't show that you could afford the payments on the treatment you need, then you don't get the treatment?
One is going to die sooner or later, so how much should the Gov't forced insurance coverage pay to keep you alive just because it can be done?
There are the cases where perhaps traffic accidents put one in the ER, or some other special circumstances where treatment is going to happen before payment plans can be secured. If the taxpayers have to cover those types of things it would be a much smaller ding to the average American household's finance than this camel's nose in the tent.
The government threatening me to buy insurance (or what will they do to me?) is a lot like the government telling me that I can't ride a motorcycle, or can't smoke, or participate in church potlucks, or eat too much pie...
Tax evader
Draft dodger
Insurance resister
Senator Reed is incorrigibly ignorant. Article I,Section 8 expressly gives Congress the power to raise an army. It further gives Congress implied authority to pass any law to carry out their delegated powers. A draft can definitely be seen as a "necessary and proper" function of the federal government in that it is one means of raising an army. To draw some tortured comparison between the constitutionality of the draft and compelling US citizens to purchase a government approved health care policy is idiocy.
A sufficiently rich person, perhaps, who can pay the medical bills without playing no-win games with a for-profit company?
The people who don't want to buy insurance....this is a free country after all, at least it was until Jan 2009!
I have patients who don't need insurance, don't want insurance and would never buy insurance. They pay cash for whatever they decide they want or need - make their own decisions and do not need permission from a bean-counter insurance clerk or federal agent deciding for them. Granted, they have plenty of money - but why penalize them or tax them for not purchasing something they don't need?
The Missing 13th Amendment
With national health care, doctors will be forced to make bad choices due to government regulations/rationing. The trial lawyers initially will have an orgy of lawsuits once government health care starts to cause this chaos. Good doctors will leave. A doctor shortage will ensue. The standards will be lowered to fill in the shortage, and health care will continue to degrade. Substandard doctors create more health care disasters, so the government steps in and nationalizes all doctors and makes them immune to lawsuits. The trial lawyer orgy ends. To further keep costs down, these national doctors will get peanuts for pay. Hospitals will suffer similarly and likely become nationalized. National doctors and hospitals will be dangerous to your health. Only fools and ignorant people will got to a national doctor or hospital.
If we are lucky, good doctors and hospitals will set up practice in Mexico and we Texans can get there without to much trouble.
Everyone that can afford it should buy insurance and if you have to threaten them it's OK with me
Everyone that can afford food should buy it and if you have to threaten them, its ok with me
Everyone that can afford housing should buy it and if you have to threaten them, its ok with me.
Where will it stop? I refuse to give the government this power over our lives. This country is the land of the free and our government does not dictate - is this what you wish?
"Some very few people have no need of a bike."
Most people over 16 don't have a bike and wouldn't have one for free!!!
Interesting. Was this law ever repealed?
It was replaced in 1903 by the Dick Act which gave us the National Guard.
The pertinent part is reflected in 10 USC 311 as follows:
10 USC Sec. 311
Subtitle A - General Military Law
Sec. 311. Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
10 USC 312 lists exemptions.
I don't know what minor adjustments may have been made over the years.
I think other sections of the US Code address equipping the National Guard and so forth.
I don't know of anything that addresses equipping the unorganized militia.

Amazing....anyone dare to go long in this market????
No way. I'm holding short, but cannot believe this melt up. Was expecting a pullback, but still did well on my shorts, all except MPEL, and only down 20 cents there. Going to clean up tomorrow if market pulls back. VXX finally dropped, but not by that much. I covered my short early this morning on multiple head fakes.

Specialized 4x4 Land Rovers and Land Cruisers
Our Private Leaders
Round-trip flight from Maun to Central Kalahari Game Reserve, accommodations, meals from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on final day, house alcoholic drinks in camp, services of professional guides and staff, parks and permit fees, all taxes.
Not Included
Travel to and from start and end point of trip, gratuities, passport and visa fees, optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry, etc.), baggage fees, airport and departure taxes, optional travel insurance, and required medical evacuation insurance.
Physical Requirements
This safari involves no strenuous activity, though a safari vehicle frequently offers a bumpy ride. Wildlife drives often involve long hours of sitting and sometimes bouncing around. While we don't consider this strenuous, it can be uncomfortable and may pose a particular type of physical demand on the body. All travelers must be able to climb into and out of raised 4x4 safari trucks. They must also be able to walk to and from the vehicle to our camp accommodations, sometimes walking over uneven ground or on boardwalks. Additionally, while any short walks are considered optional, you will get the most out of your safari experience if you can walk a mile or two over uneven ground without assistance. Safari accommodations and vehicles are not climate controlled and, depending on the seasonality, temperatures can range from quite cold to extremely hot so it is critical that travelers come prepared. We recommend that all travelers have an adventurous spirit, as they will often enjoy the closest animal encounters.
Important Information About This Trip

Hi, I just installed WP on a new hosting provider; my blog is currently hosted elsewhere using MT. I want to set-up the WP version before I change nameservers to point at the WP version. Problem is all the WP settings are pointing to the domain name that leads to the current MT blog, which means I'm getting the index.php page without the CSS file attached to it (wp is looking for the CSS file at the other server). So, basically, I can't make adjustments to the CSS file and then see how it looks. I installed WP using an automatic installation through the control panel, so I'm assuming it grabbed some environmental info and plugged them in (the new hosting account is setup with the domain name that is currently hosted somewhere else -- this is pretty common when you're switching hosts). Is there any way I can change where WP inserts default domain paths to a temporary one? I've been looking through the config files but haven't found a place for it.
I hope this makes sense to someone!

Heavy rain floods Chester roadsStaff Report | July 29,2014CHESTER Local police and firefighters had their hands full and wet Monday when heavy rain flooded several main roads.
Authorities temporarily shut down a section of Route 11 west of the Chester Rod and Gun Club and Route 103 north in the Stone Village area when storm water covered the pavement shortly after 4 p.m.
Firefighters parked one of their trucks in the village to signal problems along the road leading to Andover and Weston.
Heavy rain & runoff is causing problems on Routes 11 and 103 in the Chester area, the Twitter feed for 511VT told motorists. Roads may become blocked in some areas.
By 4:40 p.m., Vermont State Police said Route 103 from Gassetts to the Stone Village was closed because of flash flooding.
A half-hour later, the National Weather Service in Burlington canceled its severe thunderstorm watch for the state but continued its flash flood warning for Windsor County.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Upon doing research on the internet, I discovered that Dr. Fox is a very foxy business man. He has an ad ad runing in local publications stating New K-9 Friends $89.50 package including $FREE$ Rabies shot. I brought in my dogs records prior to making an appointment and Christina quoted me $82.00. After getting the quote,I brought my dog in on 06/28/12 and they charged me $143.89 of which $50.00 was for a three year rabies shot. They saw on his past records that he always received a three year rabies shot and that coincided with his three year license renewal.
Upon doing research on the internet, I discovered that there is no difference between the potency of the one/three year shots from the manufacturer. I called Christina after my research to complain about the bill and was told Dr. Fox was on vacation, but would call me back upon his return. He never did. I called again and went to his office in the beginning of August because Dr. Fox DID NOT give my dog his annual Leptospirosis vaccine (required by the kennel that boards my dog). Christina assured me that he would speak with me. He never had the decency or courage to see me.
Instead, he sent out an assistant who said he would not make any adjustment on the prior bill and would charge me half price to reexamine my dog (four weeks after initial visit) plus the cost of the vaccine. Dr. Fox gets FREE PUBLICITY in the St. Lucie News Tribune for his "charitable" work taking care of wild animals but has NO RESPECT, COMPASSION or CONCERN for new clients thru his bait and switch advertising. I took my dog to another vet and she charged $15.00 for the Leptospirosis Vaccination. HIS NAME SUITS HIS BUSINESS PRACTICE. He is both a SPINELESS and GUTLESS FOX PREYING upon new clients with fraudulent and misleading advertsing and when caught, he doesn't have the courage to face his soon to be ex client. BEWARE OF THE FOX!!!

It has been a while since I made a scavenger hunt for Henry.
This time I wanted Henry to be more self-sufficient at it.
So I made a scavenger hunt guide with pictures (as well as the word).
Another fun way to do a nature scavenger hunt is to go on a nature walk scavenger hunt and practice counting!
(Super easy to make, I just used Word, inserted some clip art of the items, and added a caption of the name. I also used shapes for him to search for certain colors of objects. At the end of the post, you can download the hunt guide that we used.)
On a day that we didn't have to Beat the Heat, we set out to find all sorts of objects in nature. I made the list to be of objects I thought would be easy enough for him to find, but with a few harder objects that would make him think about where he could find it.
With each find, Henry made his mark on his scavenger hunt guide. It was a great way to get him to practice drawing and making circles around objects. I showed him once, and he was making circles the entire time, quite well. (Until the end, he got kind of crazy with the marker.)
Henry found the leaf and flower first.
Berries were pretty easy too.
He struggled with the bugs. But insists he saw a bee. (I did not see it…)
The sidewalk was a dead giveaway for the ants, and Henry found them quickly enough to my amazement. The butterfly was the hardest, and we didn't find one until later on that night when we were on a family walk. Henry was pretty excited!
Henry loved running around looking for the colors.
Sometimes he didn't find them in nature, but on Great-Grandma's shirt, or something of the like.
(I guess I didn't make specific nature rules…)
The hardest item to find, that Henry had trouble understanding was a shadow. Since it wasn't a super sunny day, the clouds seemed to come and go (though the pictures make it out to be a super sunny day, it was on and off). Henry, first of all, didn't understand from the picture that he was looking for a shadow. So when I finally told him, he knew what to look for, but just couldn't find it at the time.
We never did find the worm that day…

Do You Think You Know all You Should Know About Your Attic?
Most home owners tend to treat the attic as a part of the house which deserves a lot of junk and all the stuff that requires the smallest attention. Apparently, the attic serves a very important function as any other part of the home. However, attention dedicated to it is very minimal, and, the consequence is that drastic things can happen in the near future. So, what is the major issue concerning the attics? The problem is attic ventilation. As long as it is there, the attic will require proper ventilation and failure to do so will cause other costly problems, or even worse. In this article, you will get to know what you didn't know about attics.
- To start with, a friend of mine once said to me, sadly, "My house is too hot." At that particular time, we had been sweating, not from anything related to physical activity, but simply from seating down for thirty minutes watching television. The day was a bit sunny, but the heat in the house was way too much. This ordeal has been a menace to many other people. So, what might be the problem? Attic specialists, such as the Ventilator King and Insulation King, have revealed that the heat is mostly caused by lack of ventilators. This does not allow, or, maintain air flow. To solve this, it is advisable to use rafter vents and soffit vents together with insulation. A very hot attic will obviously cook up the asphalt shingles.
- The winter and summer puzzle about the attic. It is obvious that the main reason of having an attic is to be able to keep the house warm during the winter season. Yes, it happens. However, after some time you might realize that the house is getting cold during this season and your bills are steadily rising as opposed from before. This is not a mystery. When your attic is too warm during winter, the snow at the roof will melt. After some time, it will re-freeze forming itself at the gutters. This is the major thing that causes roof damage. Additionally, the attic will not be able to function properly resulting to poor heat flow in your house.
- Lastly, but not least, the attic can harbor moisture, which automatically results to the presence of mildew. When condensation takes place, and the attic does not have ventilators, mildew is formed. This can be very hazardous to those with mold and mildew allergies. Also, the attics' wood will absolutely rot hence resulting to expensive future repairs. Having your attic fitted with attic ventilators will help solve this therefore extending your attics lifetime, and, all the junk and valuables placed at the attic.
After reading the above, though not much, you are assured to solve the question that you go asking almost every neighbor or family member i.e., "How to cool off my attic." The highly qualified and professional attic specialist, Ventilator King and insulation King will solve all your attic problems. They have a very long experience, two decades. Some of their major services comprise of;
- Installation of attic ventilators
- Blown attic ventilation services
- Installation of powered attic ventilation fans.

Five Advantages of Composite Over Wooden Decks
For many years, homeowners have relied on standard wooden decks for their outdoor spaces. However, did you know that composite decking could change the look of your outdoor space and even help you save money?

To avoid costly repairs on deck maintenance, experts advise that users should go for composite alternatives. While they are susceptible to conditions such as surface molds, these are easy to clean, applying only a standard home cleaner and a brush.
Wooden decks need intensive maintenance that includes regular staining, sanding, or power washing. These activities may be costly if you hire a specialist to them on your behalf. You can avoid such expenses by installing composite decks that are ideal for bare feet, do not overheat, and are non-slippery.
Composite decks preserve their color and remain uniform: unlike wooden decks that fade after years of use, they retain their color to remain attractive, even after a long time of active use. Since the boards are made from a combination of same materials, they resemble each other and are not affected by outdoor weather elements.

Finally, composite decks offer variety on terms of finish and aesthetics. Once installed by experts, they look more beautiful on the surface compared to their wooden counterparts. As technology continues to advance in home improvement industry, it is possible that more varieties of composite decks are bound to join the market.

Considerations to Take Into Account When Doing Home Extensions in London
Despite the rapid growth of housing stock in London, there are fewer houses being bought and sold. This is according to recent surveys. One contributing factor to this trend is increasing house prices. Consequently, homeowners are choosing to extend their existing homes so as to gain extra space. Nowadays, home equity loans are much affordable and interest rates have drastically reduced. What this implies is that home extensions London options are much cheaper. Homeowners have greater liberty to extend, remodel and upgrade their homes more than ever before. This explains the increasing numbers of home extensions London companies.
Building a home extension can be a terrific and satisfying investment for you and your family. However, before you embark on the process, there are several important factors to consider as discussed below.
The plan
Before you break ground for a home extension, you must develop a plan. You need to consider what you are looking for in terms of additional space. For instance, how many square feet are needed? What kind of room do you want? What is the primary function of the new space? If you need an entertainment area, for example, you might need to hire sonos London installers. When designing and planning, keep in mind that the prominent features of the extension such as the roof should resemble those of the existing building.
Your builder
The builder plays a fundamental role to the success of the project. Although there are many home extensions London companies to choose from, you need to choose wisely. The builder you choose should be qualified, competent and experienced in working in your locality. If you reside in South London, for instance, look for home extension builders in South London. This is because they understand regulatory issues related to home extensions in the area and hence will advice you appropriately. To choose the best builder, ask for recommendations from your architect or friends and relatives who have done similar projects.
Cost and budgeting
Essentially, a home extension is more economical than purchasing a new home. However, it can consume a considerable amount of money, depending on your specific needs. You, therefore, need to set a budget before the project commences. This will prevent any mishaps in the course of the project. While budgeting, leave aside some money for decorations and furniture for the new extension. Also, consider the market value of similar structures in your neighborhood. You do not want to spend $40,000 on an extension that will only increase your home's market value by $20,000.
Building regulations
Nowadays, there are strict building regulations even for home extensions. You need to make sure that every stage of the extension project complies with requirements of the local planning and building authorities. For instance, ensure that the design complies with the health and safety rules. You must obtain permission to build your extension. This is normally achieved by submitting a full detailed plan of the project proposal as prepared by your architect. Your builders too will be required to notify the council when the project commences and involve them in every stage. Find out more here HTTP://TAGELONDON.UK.
