Wave Point Consulting
Infrastructure Development
The Wave Point Consulting infrastructure development practice is focused on securing both short and long-term client value-creating opportunities. Quality revenue generation, new market access, improved sustainability, and community acceptance of transportation infrastructure (and associated logistics real estate opportunities) are all important factors that influence the nature of the social license required for business investment. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals can result in significantly increased costs, or a competitor securing a stronger position in the marketplace. The nuances of the Canadian federal and provincial regulatory approval process, transportation legislation, tight time frames and the rigour required for project approval can be a challenge for both executives and technical personnel working on infrastructure development projects. To overcome these challenges our team members can assist project proponents with:
Community Consultations,
Employment Land Studies,
Project Environmental Assessment Process Management,
Regulatory Strategy,
Site Selection & Market Access Evaluation,
Transportation Master Planning Land Use Analysis.
To assure optimal investment and operating decisions, the work of our team members complements the insights of existing small cap and government client technical team members. As a result of collaborative efforts, we help ensure compliance with federal, provincial and municipal regulatory processes on environmental assessments, and in obtaining the necessary permits licenses and approvals related to land tenure, water and other resources. We are also involved in the siting, development and construction of operating facilities.

Proceedings of Institution of Civil Engineers: Management, Procurement and Law | Year: 2013
The paper consists of a high-level comparison between the NEC third edition and the Fidic (Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs- Conseils) 1999 suite of contracts. The paper covers the origins of each suite of contracts and then compares each of the individual contact forms published by the NEC and Fidic. The paper then moves on to focus on the NEC Engineering and Construction Contact and the Fidic 1999 Red and Yellow Books. The key areas of structure and format, contents of a contract document, roles and responsibilities, variations/extension of time/claims and dispute resolution are then compared and contrasted. The paper concludes with a view on the relative advantages and disadvantages of each contract form and consideration as to why each may be selected. Source
Brian D. Miller Joins Rogers Joseph O'Donnell as Shareholder in Firm's Washington D.C. Office Business Wire
News Article | November 2, 2015
Site: www.businesswire.com
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brian D. Miller has joined the D.C. office of Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, P.C. (RJO) as a shareholder. Brian has a distinguished record of public service. As Inspector General of the GSA from 2005 until May 2014, Brian was highly regarded for his vigilance in prevention of public waste and corruption. Earlier, Brian held several notable positions at the Department of Justice, including a senior management role at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, Special Counsel on Health Care Fraud/Senior Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District. Most recently, Brian was a Managing Director of Navigant Consulting. Brian brings to RJO a wealth of government experience and understanding of what motivates regulators and how officials at federal agencies think and act. Through his years of service, Brian has developed relationships with key regulators and Justice Department officials, and he has earned the respect of law enforcement officials. Coupled with his knowledge of the operations of the federal government – especially regulatory and enforcement agencies – Brian can apply his insight and subject area expertise to benefit clients in their dealings with IGs, DOJ, the GSA, and other officials. Combining expertise as a traditional government contracts lawyer with practice experience as both a federal prosecutor and a white collar defense lawyer, Brian is an excellent choice for sensitive compliance matters and can be trusted with the defense of complex procurement fraud allegations. For the same reasons, Brian can be relied upon for internal compliance reviews and investigations, will offer informed counsel in dealing with suspension and debarment officials, and can act as a compliance monitor. Neil O'Donnell, firm founder, commented: "We see Brian as leveraging our breadth of subject matter expertise, across many areas of procurement law and regulation, enabling RJO to extend and enhance our abilities to assist clients with performance or compliance issues before the GSA and other federal agencies, and in other matters involving law enforcement and integrity in public contracting." Bob Metzger, who heads the firm's D.C. office, said: "Brian is a terrific hire. He adds to our litigation credentials and ability to handle integrity, compliance and procurement fraud matters – including cutting edge issues such as commercial item contracting and cybersecurity." RJO is a litigation boutique that has specialized in public contracts law for more than 34 years. We represent U.S. and international clients who are industry leaders in diverse market sectors. We are recognized by Chambers USA and Legal 500 as having an elite government contracts practice – and are the only "boutique" firm among those most highly rated.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navigant (NYSE: NCI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. Navigant reported third quarter 2015 RBR of $209.6 million, a 2% increase compared to $205.5 million for third quarter 2014, with year-over-year organic growth of 1%. Total revenues for third quarter 2015 were $230.3 million compared to $230.1 million for third quarter 2014. Net income from continuing operations for third quarter 2015 was $14.2 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $16.3 million, or $0.33 per share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.30 for third quarter 2015 compared to $0.32 for third quarter 2014. Third quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA was $31.6 million compared to $36.3 million for the same period in 2014. "Our third quarter results were in line with our expectations, further solidifying strong year-to-date performance in 2015," commented Julie Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are making steady progress on the execution of our growth strategy, reflected by strength in the key growth sectors in which we have invested over the last several years and increasing the percentage of our overall revenue coming from our technology, data and process businesses. I am also encouraged by our margin improvement initiatives and remain confident we will continue to make progress on our longer term earnings goals." RBR for the Healthcare segment increased 18% year-over-year for third quarter 2015 with 13% organic growth for the period. Overall RBR growth for the segment was driven by increased demand in all areas of healthcare consulting and business process management services. Segment operating profit margin increased to 32% compared to 30% in the same period last year, driven by better operating leverage within the segment. The Energy segment RBR for third quarter 2015 increased 5% compared to third quarter 2014, all of which represented organic growth. The RBR growth in the quarter was partially driven by an increase in market intelligence and strategy and operations engagements, reflecting the benefits of increased client penetration from the segment's key client accounts program. Third quarter 2015 segment operating profit was down 12% compared to the same period last year, as higher RBR was offset by higher compensation and benefits expenses associated with senior hiring to expand the segment's capabilities. The Disputes, Investigations & Economics segment RBR results for third quarter 2015 were steady compared to the same period of the prior year. Performance was driven by continued demand for our global construction expertise, international arbitration, financial services disputes, healthcare disputes and commercial litigation consulting, offset by lower contributions from forensic investigations and economic consulting engagements. Segment operating profit increased 4% in third quarter 2015 compared to the same period of 2014, driven by better alignment of resources and higher utilization. The Financial, Risk & Compliance segment RBR for third quarter 2015 decreased 24% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the continued lower volume of work from an ongoing large financial institution client due to the extension of a regulatory deadline. Third quarter 2015 segment operating profit was down 40% year-over-year largely as a result of lower RBR and our decision to maintain capabilities in the segment based on expected future market demand. Free cash flow was $18.2 million for third quarter 2015 compared to $24.0 million for the same period in 2014, reflecting the impact of increased capital investment spending. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was 81 days as of September 30, 2015, up 4 days compared to September 30, 2014. Bank debt was $146.8 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $158.0 million at September 30, 2014. Leverage (bank debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA) was 1.22 at September 30, 2015 compared to 1.36 at September 30, 2014. Navigant repurchased 399,200 shares of common stock during third quarter 2015 at an aggregate cost of $6.1 million and an average cost of $15.35 per share. As of September 30, 2015, $93.9 million remained on the Company's share repurchase authorization. Navigant updated its 2015 financial outlook. Full year 2015 RBR is now expected to range between $822.5 and $837.5 million while 2015 total revenues are estimated to be between $907.5 and $922.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2015 is now expected to range between $115.0 and $120.0 million and adjusted EPS for full year 2015 is estimated to be between $0.96 and $1.01. This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in the financial schedules attached to this press release. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As used in this press release, organic growth represents RBR adjusted to include the impact of acquisitions as if the Company owned them from the beginning of each comparable period and adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our definition of organic growth may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics at other companies. Management believes that organic growth reflects the growth of our existing business and is, therefore, useful in analyzing the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Navigant will host a conference call to discuss the Company's third quarter 2015 results at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (9:00 a.m. Central Time) on Tuesday, October 27, 2015.

With big initiatives under way from Google, Apple, Daimler and more, the autonomous car is driving into view as the future of transportation. Whenever we imagine this technology, the reality always seems distant. Indeed, the dominant narrative of Silicon Valley companies' development efforts is one of stealth, with eventual glitzy launches far in the future, following lengthy, secret testing. That leaves us dreaming of the autonomous car seen in science fiction movies like "Minority Report," "Judge Dredd" and "I, Robot," which all cast protagonists riding future freeways with no hands. After all, such a radical thing as a self-driving car is surely that far away, right? The truth, however, is that driverless cars are already here — we just don't recognize them. Autonomous-car experiments have been carried out since at least the 1950s. Today, many of our journeys are already being driven by algorithms. Consider cruise control. What is a control system keeping consistent throttle pressure if not the earliest form of outsourcing to the motorway machine? Now, however, adaptive cruise control sees your car match the speed of other traffic by watching the car in front, keeping a steady relative distance. Our cars already have eyes. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) technology checks for vehicles drifting across lane dividers. Today, cars like the Jeep Cherokee or Mercedes-Benz S-Class send vibrations or tiny tugs through the steering wheel to alert drivers. Tomorrow, they will simply steer back in the lanes themselves. But our cars are already taking control. Self-parking technology now comes standard on many vehicles, while Forward Collision Warning (FCW) technology is being developed to not just warn about dangers ahead but brake before they are encountered. Many people would not recognize these features as part of what is being termed the "driverless car." But that is exactly my point. The expectation that autonomous vehicles, unavailable today, will one day appear in the future, is inaccurate — and demonstrates that we often overlook how technologies develop and progress steadily and incrementally. Innovation is an iterative process, not an event. The new MacBook didn't suddenly arrive as the gleaming, super-thin laptop by accident but, rather, following years of refinement, during which time laptops, even lightweight ones, have become familiar. The mark of a great technology is that, when it is here, we barely remember all the steps and phases of its advance. Driverless cars are already at Level 2, the mid-point of a five-tier journey toward fully autonomous vehicles mapped out two years ago by the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration. And they got there without people realizing we are already halfway there. Many people express concern about driverless cars. But driver aids like the ones available today will play a vital role in conditioning the public to accepting full autonomy when it eventually arrives, which research firm Navigant forecasts to be in 2035 for three-quarters of new cars sold. Sales are half the problem when it comes to people anticipating the shock of the new instead of a natural evolution. As one of the most expensive purchases you will ever make, the car upgrade cycle is far less frequent than, say, your mobile phone. Millions of us are driving around without thinking about the benefits bestowed by the latest driver aids, or even long-accepted ones like cruise control. This naturally makes talk of autonomous vehicles considerably more futuristic than for customers whose 2014 car parked itself and avoided a fender bender on this morning's commute. It is, perhaps, no wonder that willingness to ride in a driverless car is higher in Brazil, India and China than in western countries. After all, the growing population of wealthy consumers in these fast-growing economies have been buying cars for the first time — cars that include some of the very latest technologies. The jump to full autonomy is not as big a leap as it used to be. The present and future of driverless cars offers lessons for all technology industries. To win consumer interest, release often and focus on selling convenience and safety today, not a distant alien technology tomorrow. When we look back on the evolution of vehicle autonomy through the rear-view mirror, we'll be hard-pressed to find a single, defining moment. Like all of today's technology, every step is just another mile in the road.

Gaston Legume
this wiki
|I'll have Belle for my wife! Make no mistake about that!
|~ Gaston vowing to marry Belle even by force.
|The Beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night! We're not safe 'till his head is mounted on my wall! I say we KILL THE BEAST!
|~ Gaston convincing the town to help him murder the Beast.
Gaston Legume (simply known as Gaston) is the main antagonist of Disney's 30th full-length animated feature film, Beauty and the Beast, and its upcoming 2017 live action adaptation. He is also one of the tertiary antagonists in Mickey's House of Villains.
He is an egotistical, traitorous, arrogant hunter from Belle's village who was after Belle's hand in marriage by any means necessary and refused to let anyone else be with her, which made him the Beast's arch-nemesis.
He was voiced by Richard White in the original 1991 film, and will be portrayed by Luke Evans (who previously portrayed Owen Shaw) in the 2017 live action adaptation.
Gaston embodies hyper-masculinity, as he happens to be a handsome and muscular hunter who likes to brag off his abilities toward others for pleasure. However, beneath his charming looks is a rude, impatient, destructive, manipulative, self-centered, narcissistic, and psychopathic person. He is very conservative and narrow-minded to the extent that he disapproves intellectualism as he regards ideas as "dangerous pastimes"; he is also extremely misogynistic and lascivious, as he believes that women's sole purpose in life is to serve men. Because of his charming looks, he is well-respected in the village as he was able to rouse up a mob to help him kill the Beast, although it was clear that he cared nothing for the villagers in general.
He is also shown to be completely lustful and lecherous towards Belle, as he plans to marry her because of her beautiful looks as opposed to her nonconformist and unconventional personality. Even when Belle made it clear that she doesn't want to be with Gaston (with LeFou pointing out that the other women in the village are quite fond of Gaston), the latter still wants to marry Belle to satisfy his own ego, proving to be quite regardless of her feelings or anyone else's. He even felt extremely jealous after learning that Belle has feelings for the Beast, which only motivates him in hunting down the Beast so that he can have Belle for himself. He is also very abusive, insulting, and vituperative towards LeFou and his buddies, as he would subject them to pain and suffering whenever things go wrong (even if it's not their fault).
Despite his anti-intellectualism, Gaston is quite intelligent and knowledgeable, as he can come up with clever plans to get what he wants. In spite of his intelligence, Gaston can also be quite spontaneous and impulsive as shown when he tried to grope Belle by menacingly cornering her and announcing "Say you'll marry me." before attempting to kiss her, which forced a disgusted Belle to reject him in return. In addition, he was extremely cunning and reckless, as shown when he openly bragged many key details about his plan to blackmail Belle into marrying him during the Gaston reprise, as well as during the climax when he stabbed the Beast in the back without assessing any risks, which ultimately led to his own demise.
Beauty and the Beast
Gaston is the local hero of a small French village at an unknown point in French history. He owns a large tavern where he and the villagers drink and talk. Inside, there is a large portrait of himself along with "trophies" from his hunt consisting mostly of animal antlers. He also says he eats five dozen eggs every morning to help make him "roughly the size of a barge."
He first appears in the film shooting down a waterfowl headed south with perfect accuracy (implying that he had just returned from a hunting trip) and declaring his intent to marry Belle after acknowledging from LeFou of his popularity with all the women in the village. He then started pursuing Belle throughout the village as she returns home after buying a book from the local bookstore. Their meeting starts off well, but Gaston's remarks about women reading and thinking drive Belle away from him and she goes home, leaving him disappointed. In addition, after learning that Belle was going to aid her father Maurice, Gaston scolded LeFou for mocking Maurice (although it was implied that he mostly did that in an attempt to impress Belle rather than out of any genuine concern for Maurice).
The next day, Gaston organizes a wedding outside Belle's cottage in an attempt to "surprise" her, complete with various decorations, a priest, and a wedding cake. He forces his way into the cottage and attempts to strong-arm her into marrying him, again making sexist remarks about women and housewifery (he even envisions the home they would live in as a "rustic" hunting lodge, with his latest kill roasting over the fire and Belle massaging his feet while their children—six or seven boys—play on the floor with their dogs). While he attempts to corner Belle in an attempt to kiss her, she manages to open the door that he has pinned her against, rejecting his proposal. This causes him to lose his balance and fly headfirst into a large mud puddle (complete with cat-tail plants) in front of Belle's cottage. Furious and humiliated, Gaston storms off, but not before vowing to make Belle his wife regardless of her refusal and throwing LeFou into the mud out of frustration.
Later, during a snowstorm, Lefou leads the villagers in the tavern to sing a song about Gaston's greatness to cheer him up after his failed proposal. Maurice suddenly interrupts and warns the villagers about a 'monstrous' Beast who has locked up Belle as a prisoner in the tower of his castle. Thinking that Maurice is talking nonsense, the villagers throw him out of the tavern, which made Gaston realize that he can use Maurice's outrageous claim to his advantage. In a surprising display of animalistic cunning, he bribes Monsieur D'Arque (the owner of the local asylum) to throw Maurice into the asylum in order to pressure Belle into marrying him. Though D'Arque states that Maurice's claims and his odd inventions do not make him dangerous, he is willing to accept the bribe because he liked the despicability of the plot. However, just before Gaston and LeFou barge into Belle and Maurice's cottage, Maurice left for the castle on his own. Gaston orders LeFou stay outside the cottage and wait for their return.
When Belle and Maurice eventually return to the cottage, LeFou immediately informs Gaston, and he sets his plan into motion. With the villagers gathered outside the house, D'Arque has his men drag Maurice towards their carriage, while Gaston makes Belle his offer - he will clear up the "misunderstanding" if she marries him. Horrified and disgusted, Belle refuses and instead proves her father's claims of the Beast's existence by using a magic mirror that the Beast had given her, causing all the villagers (including Gaston) to realize that Maurice was telling the truth. Following Maurice's release, Gaston grows more frustrated and shocked that his plan has failed, and becomes increasingly jealous when Belle begins referring to the Beast as "kind and gentle" as he let her go to help Maurice. Realizing that she prefers a "monster" over himself, Gaston refers to the Beast with this insult, to which a furious Belle retorts back by saying that Gaston is the real monster.
In his jealousy and pride, a furious Gaston snaps out and snatches the mirror from Belle, successfully convincing the villagers that the Beast is a threat to the village and therefore must be brought down immediately by playing off their fear of monsters. An outraged Belle tries to stop this, but Gaston has her and Maurice locked in the basement to keep them from warning the Beast. He then leads a lynch mob to attack the Beast's castle and leave no one alive while declaring that he himself is to take down the Beast. Gaston bypasses the ensuing battle between the rioters and castle servants, which ends with the rioters fleeing away in defeat thanks to the castle servants' enchanted forms. Despite the loss of his mob, Gaston confronts the Beast alone in the West Wing, where he fires an arrow into him, tosses him out of the window onto a lower section of the roof and taunts him. The Beast doesn't respond back as he lost his will to live since Belle's departure, so Gaston uses a castle statue as a makeshift club to try to kill the Beast. However, the Beast regains his will when he witnessed Belle returning to the castle with her father (as they had escaped from the basement with help from Chip, who stowed away with Belle). As such, the Beast defends himself by viciously fighting back against Gaston with all his strength and ferocity.
Though roughly even with his adversary, Gaston soon learns that he cannot rely on brute strength alone to kill the Beast, and instead begins taunting him over his love for Belle. Gaston even pushed the final button by claiming that Belle is his to take and no one else, but this immediately backfires as the Beast snaps out and lunges forth at Gaston to let his own guard down. The furious Beast then gets Gaston at his mercy by holding him above the castle roof by the throat, threatening to drop him into the deep castle moat for the trouble he caused. With his life at stake, Gaston seemingly abandons his pride and pathetically begs for mercy. At first, the Beast initially attempts to ignore Gaston's pleas, but realizes that he ought to be better due to his genuine love for Belle. With that in mind, the Beast grudgingly spares Gaston by ordering him to leave the castle and never return. However, when Gaston sees the Beast embracing Belle on the castle balcony, his hatred and jealousy arises again. Rather than leaving the castle, Gaston instead stabs the Beast in the back with a knife while dangling somewhat precariously from the balcony. The Beast swings his arm backwards at Gaston as he roars in pain, which makes Gaston lose his balance and plunge into the deep moat below, screaming to his death.
Despite laying a fatal stab on the Beast, Gaston would die in vain that night; just as the Beast nearly succumbed to his own wounds, Belle confessed her love for him just before the last petal of the enchanted rose that kept him bound to his beast form fell, breaking the spell and reviving the Beast. This also allows the Beast and his enchanted servants to transform back to their human forms, much to their delight.
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Gaston will appear in the upcoming 2017 remake, portrayed by Luke Evans. However, in this film, Gaston will be portrayed as a former soldier prior to his career as a hunter due to a portrait of him standing over fallen soldiers in the tavern. It is also implied that this incarnation of Gaston will be more darker than the original.
Other Appearances
Beauty and the Beast (musical)
In the musical, Gaston's role remains the same as in the movie. Unlike in the movie however, Gaston is hinted to be adulterous in nature, as he states to the Bimbettes that his "rendezvouses" with them will continue after he marries Belle, implying that his belief of marriage is based on ownership rather than of love and affection.
House of Mouse
Despite his death in the movie, Gaston gained a recurring role on House of Mouse as a guest character, once again voiced by Richard White. His most notable appearance, in the episode "Daisy's Debut", had a running gag in which he frequently injected himself into other people's conversations to announce, "No one [verbs] like Gaston!" This gag would later go through the entire series and would become a memorable catchphrase for Gaston. Instances of this catchphrase include, "No one sings like Gaston!" in response to Daisy's compliment on Ariel's singing, "No one makes faces in spoons like Gaston!" when Timon and Pumbaa are making faces in spoons (with an annoyed Timon answering back, "Actually, no one asked the opinion of Gaston!"), and "No one eats candied apples like Gaston!" before eating one of the Queen's apples and promptly collapsing, to which Daisy reacts to by snarking, "Now no one needs a wake-up kiss like Gaston!"
Gaston was one of the many villains to join the takeover in Mickey's House of Villains.
Once Upon a Time
Gaston is featured in the ABC series in a very minor role played by Sage Brocklebank. Here, he was engaged to Belle through an arranged marriage, but just like the film, she did not love him because she found him "shallow". Unlike his Disney counterpart he appears to be more noble and focused, as shown when he expressed concern for Belle's agreement to go with Rumpelstiltskin and when she refused his marriage proposal. He attempted to reclaim her from Rumpelstiltskin regardless, but was transformed into a rose and given as a gift to Belle.
Gaston was revived, and it was also revealed that he had two twin sons, who he named after himself (which is not surprising); their names are Gaston Jr. and Gaston the Third, but his two sons have not inherited his obsession with girls.
Gaston is considered one of Disney's most popular villains. He ranked 11th in an official poll, and the Nostalgia Critic placed him as the 5th best Disney villain, citing him as being different from most other Disney villains in that he wasn't pure evil from the start. Fans on the Internet often jokingly idolize him similar to how the townspeople do in the movie, giving birth to the "No one (X) like Gaston" meme, and the "Gaston" song in particular is a very popular source for YouTube Poop.
|How can you read this? There's no pictures! (Belle: Well, someone has to use their own imagination.) Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books and paid attention to more important things, like me! The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read, first she starts getting ideas and thinking...
|~ Gaston making a terrible attempt to woo Belle.
|This is the day your dreams come true. (Belle: What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?) Plenty. Picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven. (Belle: Dogs?) No, Belle Strapping boys like me. (Belle: Imagine that.) And do you know who that little wife will be? (Belle: Let me think...) You, Belle! (Belle: Gaston, I'm..... speechless. I really don't know what to say.) Say you'll marry me. (Belle: I'm very sorry, Gaston, but.... but..... I just don't deserve you!)
|~ Gaston making his wedding proposal to Belle (to no avail).
|Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! No one says no to Gaston! (LeFou: Darn right.) Dismissed, rejected, publicly humiliated... why, it's more than I can bear!! (LeFou: More beer?) What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced!
|~ Gaston fuming over his failed wedding proposal to Belle.
|It's like this: I got my heart set on marrying Belle. But she needs a little.... persuasion. (LeFou: Turned him down flat.) Everyone knows that her father's a lunatic. He was in here tonight raving about a beast in a castle. (D'Arque: Maurice is harmless.) The point is.... Belle would do anything to keep him from being locked up.
|~ Gaston forming a plan to blackmail Belle into marrying him.
|They have to come back sometime. And when they do, we'll be ready for them. LeFou, don't move from that spot until Belle and her father come home!
|~ Gaston telling LeFou to stay at Belle's house to await for Belle and Maurice's return.
|Poor Belle, it's a shame about your father. (Belle: You know he's not crazy, Gaston.) I think I may be able to clear up this little misunderstanding.... if..... (Belle: If what?) ..... if you marry me. (Belle: WHAT?!) One little world, Belle. That's all it takes. (Belle: NEVER!!) Have it your way.
|~ Gaston trying to blackmail Belle into marrying him as Maurice is about to be taken away to the asylum.
|If I didn't know better, I say you have feelings for this monster. (Belle: He's no monster, Gaston! YOU ARE!!) She's as crazy as the old man! The Beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night! We're not safe until his head is mounted on my wall! I say we KILL THE BEAST!!
|~ Gaston snapping and encouraging the townspeople to kill the Beast after Belle proved Maurice's sanity.
|We'll lay siege to the castle and BRING BACK HIS HEAD!!!
|~ Gaston leading the townspeople to attack the Beast's castle.
|Take whatever booty you can find, but remember... THE BEAST IS MINE!!!
|~ Gaston encouraging the townspeople to raid the Beast's castle.
|Get up! GET UP!! What's the matter, Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?
|~ Gaston taunting the Beast.
|Come on out and FIGHT!! Were you in love with her, Beast? Did you honestly think she'd want you, when she had someone like me?!
|~ Gaston mocking the Beast.
|It's over, Beast!! BELLE IS MINE!! (gets knock down by the Beast, who holds him up on the roof over the moat) Let me go! Let me go! Please... don't hurt me!! I'll do anything!! ANYTHING!!!
|~ Gaston's last words before his death.
- Gaston was going to be voiced by Rupert Everett, the same man who also played Doctor Claw in the live action film adaptation, Inspector Gadget, and the voice of Prince Charming in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. Everett was denied because he didn't sound arrogant enough, something he would later keep in mind when voicing Prince Charming.
- The animators researched high school and college jock stereotypes to create Gaston's menacing and arrogant mannerisms.
- Gaston was not present in Kingdom Hearts II, despite being the main antagonist of Beauty and the Beast. Xaldin, a member of Organization XIII, serves as this world's main villain and reprises the role of Forte.
- However, Gaston finally debuted in the Kingdom Hearts series in Kingdom Hearts chi.
- Gaston was created for the film and does not appear in the original fairy tale Disney based the film on. Beauty's sisters (who were cut from the film) are the antagonists of the original fairy tale.
- Originally, Gaston was going to say to The Beast: "It's over Beast! Time to die!". This was changed, because it was slightly out of character, as Gaston is attempting to kill the Beast so that he can have Belle for himself.
- When Gaston says, "Belle is mine!" his lips instead synch to "Time to die!", implying that the filmmakers changed the line late in development.
- In two mockbusters of the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, namely the Golden Films version and The Secret of The Hunchback, the respective main villains are clearly based off Gaston, specially the Golden Films version.
- Though Gaston persuaded the villagers to hunt the Beast by lying that he was a threat to the entire village (even though he only left his castle to protect Belle and never even left the castle otherwise), Gaston ultimately decided to deal with the Beast himself, likely due to seeing him as a rival for Belle's affections and the villagers would potentially discover the Beast's peaceful nature if they discovered him before Gaston.
- During his fall off the castle, you can quickly see that some skulls appear in his eyes. This is likely to symbolize that Gaston did not survive the fall into the castle moat.
- There were several alternative versions to Gaston's death:
- After wounding the Beast, Gaston fell from the castle into the woods, where he has survived with a broken leg. However, he is confronted by several wolves who previously pursued Maurice and Belle. Without hesitation, the wolves close in on Gaston and mauled him to death. This scene was removed, but was later reused for the death of Scar in The Lion King (the wolves were replaced by Shenzi, Banzai & Ed, and the Hyena Clan).
- An alternative version of his death was for Gaston to lay multiple fatal stabbings on the Beast and commit suicide by willingly falling to his death laughing maniacally, as he feels that if he wouldn't have Belle for himself, then neither would the Beast, but not before he lashes out at Belle for ruining his pride and preferring the Beast over him. However, this was edited out since it was too dark, rewritten to have Gaston lose his footing after stabbing the Beast and only requiring one stab to finish him off.
- Before Prince Hans from Frozen who is confirmed to be 23 years old, Gaston was the youngest major Disney villain to date most believing him to be around 25.
- In a Youtube series called The Frollo Show, Gaston is the deuteragonist and is Frollo's best friend. Ironically, he is portrayed as rather heroic, though otherwise he is similar to personality to his Disney counterpart.

Internet Domain Names to End with Apples and Oranges?
- 0
- June 20th, 2011
- By Feelin froggy
It has been reported this week that an innovative approach is being prepared by the regulatory body that oversees Internet domain names – Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), in terms of the domain naming system for websites, which will allow them to end with words like "apple" and "orange" instead of the usual suffixes such as ".com" or ".org." This measure should increase the number of gTLDs from the current 22 plus about 250 country-level domains, to about several hundred new gTLDs.
It has been specified by the body that "ICANN has opened the Internet's naming system to unleash the global human imagination. Today's decision respects the rights of groups to create new top level domains in any language or script." It was also added that ICANN will accept applications for domains with new suffixes from January 12 next year.
According to ICANN President and CEO Rod Beckstrom, "We hope this allows the domain name system to better serve all of mankind."
In experts' opinion, the first ones to apply for the new domain names should be corporations and cities, so they can get domain names like .toyota, .apple, or .newyork.

text: Nike, the world\'s leading sportswear manufacturer, has been fined 4.87 million yuan (about 770,000 U.S. dollars) for deceptive advertizing in China. According to the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce (BACI), Nike set the price for one of its high-end basketball shoes, which it advertized with double air cushion inside, at 1,299 yuan (about 206 dollars) in China, more than 500 yuan higher than the same model in other markets. It was later discovered that the company misled Chinese customers with an advertizement as the footwear only contained one air cushion. \"Nike applied double standards between Chinese consumers and foreign consumers. Such behavior cannot be tolerated,\" Liu Jian, the spokesman for the BACI was quoted as saying by the Beijing News. Nike China had earlier apologized and offered refund for the consumers who bought the shoes with one air cushion, according to the Beijing News.

Vatican chorister sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for papal gentleman-in-waiting.
The Vatican was today rocked by a sex scandal reaching into Pope Benedict's household after a chorister was sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for a papal gentleman-in-waiting.
Angelo Balducci, a Gentleman of His Holiness, was caught by police on a wiretap allegedly negotiating with Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 29-year-old Vatican chorister, over the specific physical details of men he wanted brought to him. Transcripts in the possession of the Guardian suggest that numerous men may have been procured for Balducci, at least one of whom was studying for the priesthood.
The explosive claims about Balducci's private life have caused grave embarrassment to the Vatican, which has yet to publicly comment on the affair.
While Catholicism does not condemn homosexuality outright, its teaching is that homosexual acts "are intrinsically disordered". The Catechism of the Catholic church states unequivocally: "Under no circumstances can they be approved."
Balducci was arrested on 10 February, suspected of involvement in widespread corruption. A senior Italian government official, he is alleged to have to steered public works contracts towards favoured bidders. He has not been charged.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
What is it about the Catholic church and gays being everywhere? What ever happened to affairs with women when seeking to sin?
And we'd probably rather not hear any spsecifics about why they were "favored" . . .
SHOCKED!! I tell you.
(I ask because a certain USN Captain, who was just relieved of command, has a definite "DADT" look about her.)
Absolutely appalling - just what the Church needs!
How close is a "Gentleman to the Pope" to the Pope? Is this like his butler, or is it an honorific title given to someone who has done charity work or something?
While Catholicism does not condemn homosexuality outright, its teaching is that homosexual acts "are intrinsically disordered". The Catechism of the Catholic church states unequivocally: "Under no circumstances can they be approved."
So, the Catholic church believes they can't "approve" homosexual acts, that such acts are "disordered," but homosexual acts are apparently not "sinful," or they would be condemned by the Catholic church and God "outright?"
What do you Catholics have to say about this? Protestants would say the Bible is all that need condemn it. Apparently the Pope and the Catholic church don't see homosexual acts as sinful, so does this mean that God and Christ don't have a problem with such acts?
He was only checking their assets to see if they were able to honor their bids.
The pope has "gentlemen-in-waiting"? sheesh. Just like Jesus, I guess.
Never heard of them before but I suppose it is like Ladies in Waiting, a sort of honorific title.
I have no idea what the catholic stand is from a dogma point of view. Maybe a Catholic can tell us.
As it eventually explains, Balducci is an official of the Italian government, not the Vatican. (IOW, he's not a priest, not the Pope's right hand man, doesn't tuck him in at night, etc., etc., etc.)
He holds an honorific title as a "Gentleman of His Holiness," which the article describes as a "ceremonial usher".
I don't think the "Vatican chorister" is a priest, either. He's a singer.
To put it in terms that a British audience would understand, it's as though someone the Queen had knighted was consorting with a minor employee of Buckingham palace to procure homosexual partners.
"Palace, Queen Rocked By Gay Sex Scandal" ... no, somehow I can't see it. Only if the Pope is involved somehow.
I am not a Roman Catholic. However, there is not another body I know of that more thoroughly rejects homosexuality. Likewise, with abortion. I know of no body that more completely rejects abortion.
My sense is that enemies target with infiltration and embarrassment those groups that oppose them. Their hope is to: (1) be elevated to important positions from which they can change the policies of the organization, or (2) injure the organization.
There is a 'Bishop' involved in this, too.
You would believe that... if your only source of news is the MSM. When you're the biggest target in the world, every shot is a bulls eye.
Entering the priesthood is an ideal cover for a homosexual man who does not want to come out of the closet, does not want to be questioned about not being married, and wants to hold a very respected position. Having a position of authority and very good access to young boys is an added bonus.
Unfortunately, because priests are not allowed to marry, this closes the door to most normal men who might otherwise want to serve. This puts the catholic church in the position of being somewhat desperate, and therefore less discriminating.
Allow priests to marry and the problem would be greatly alleviated. I would think the priesthood is a very attractive position for a homosexual.
I am -- yes -- an actual Catholic. Really, truly.
Nothing in the mass media, especially nothing in the UK mass media, and most especially not the Guardian -- a socialist newspaper -- is a reliable source of information on anything Catholic, most particularly doctrine.
Catholic teaching is that all sexual acts, except for marital intercourse open to life, are "gravely disordered". That's moral theologian-speak for, "If you do them freely and know what you're doing, they're seriously sinful."
Homosexual acts are additionally "intrinsically disordered," which means that the act itself is what is wrong, and can't be "fixed" by a different set of circumstances. (Unlike, e.g., heterosexual sex outside marriage, which is the same act that married people do.)
When the article says "Catholicism does not condemn homosexuality outright", what they are apparently pointing out is that the Church does not say that a homosexual orientation is sinful. It's not; it's merely a specific kind of temptation to a particular kind of sin, just like kleptomania is a specific kind of temptation to the particular sin of theft.
I hope that makes the situation a bit clearer.
Nah, that's not the Church talking, it's the Communist Guardian, taking the Church's words and, of course, twisting them.
Homosexuality is a disorder, and homosexual acts are intrinsically evil and sinful. In brief, the Church teaches that homosexuals should try to change, but if they cannot, then they should refrain from homosexual acts.
Where the Guardian gets its twist from is that the Church teaches that homosexuals are not evil per se, but disordered. The evil is if they give in to their urges and act on them. But homosexuals should be helped, not attacked. The basic principle is "Hate the sin but not the sinner."
No, no, no! When he said he wanted "bigger, longer and uncut", he just wanted to watch the South Park movie.
So what's your explanation for public schools, where far more sexual abuse of kids takes place?
No, it's not just the MSM, it's all sorts of people trying to defend the Catholic church from within who are writing the books on these perverted matters. Amazon is filled with Catholics describing these homosexual problems.
The Catholic Church was infiltrated by homosexuals and pedophiles centuries ago. They are trying to keep a lid on it but one of the greatest scandals in human history is about to see the light of day.
You can always count on the British media's incompetence (and dishonesty) when it comes to reporting on anything touching the Catholic Church.
1. Catholicism DOES condemn homosexuality outright.
Catholicism does not condemn HOMOSEXUALS outright, UNLESS they engage in homosexual acts.
It is probably all that you say - but what a strange place to contact your own procurer unless he is a well know go-to guy among the cognoscenti for that sort of thing.
no - what the church teaches is that having the homosexual attraction itself is not "sinful" unless it is acted upon.
Similarly - being tempted to drink too much alcohol is not, itself, a sin - unless acted upon.
The homosexuality is considered a disordered nature - something that causes internal struggle, but is not considered "sinful" until the person engages in the behavior.
It is an honorific title given to someone who is allowed to volunteer his services as an usher at papal events for a brief period each year.
A "gentiluomo" is most definitely NOT a member of the papal household.
The Guardian has its journalistic head up its posterior.
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
In quick terms:
Someone who is tempted to commit sodomy is not committing a sin by being afflicted by such temptation.
Someone who commits sodomy sins gravely.
So your thinking is that Priests turn to young boys because they can't marry? So why are there never any young girls molested?
I would be interesting to see his list of specifacations - we would know what is HOT and what is NOT on the Italian scene.
So the newspaper got that screwed up. You've just described how Protestants also look at homosexuals versus homosexual acts. No problem there, then, and that seems the right way to interpret the Bible, too.
Thank you, sir.
However, you posted nothing from the Catholic church saying that sodomy was a sin, if done.
The Guardian is a notorious far-left rag. It's probably more of a far-left rag than any daily paper in the US. It's politically closer to something like Mother Jones or The Nation.
You can -- for the most part -- read what the Guardian says, and then believe the opposite.
Catholic teaching is that all sexual acts, except for marital intercourse open to life, are "gravely disordered". That's moral theologian-speak for, "If you do them freely and know what you're doing, they're seriously sinful."
Are these two of the 'shovel ready' jobs Obama created?
easy. love them. they are sick (disordered). they should not act on their disordered urges. pray they can be helped. that's about all.
tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
Anything "contrary to the natural law" is objectively a sin, by definition.
The catechism uses the technical term "disordered" rather than "sin" because they're talking about acts in objective terms. When an individual freely and willfully does a "disordered act", that's sin.
Catholicism has been a gay sex scandal for most of the past two millennia.
There you go. "Sin" consists in willingly engaging in an evil act, with the knowledge that it is evil. Homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered ... contrary to the natural law" ..." That covers the "evil act" part. The Catechism is written to a Catholic audience, and should be interpreted from a Catholic POV. An action may be evil, disordered, even sinful ... but a specific instance of that action isn't an actual sin, unless the person who does it knows it's wrong and does it anyway. Lack of knowledge, and lack of consent may be mitigating factors in actual guilt.
From the Catechism:
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
The Definition of Sin according to the Catechism:
1849 Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law."
1850 Sin is an offense against God: "Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight." Sin sets itself against God's love for us and turns our hearts away from it. Like the first sin, it is disobedience, a revolt against God through the will to become "like gods," knowing and determining good and evil. Sin is thus "love of oneself even to contempt of God." In this proud self-exaltation, sin is diametrically opposed to the obedience of Jesus, which achieves our salvation.
It comes down to the will. Man can do many things that are contrary to God's Will and Law... but to be sinful, the man must do it in knowing rebellion to or rejection of God. Therefore, an act--by itself--can be "disordered" and "against the natural law" but not necessarily sinful. The person committing the act makes it sinful by the participation of his will. Only God can judge the heart.
Well said.
Thank you. See also #42.
The definition of "gravely disordered" is a matter of common terminology used by moral theologians.
The Wikipedia article on the topic seems pretty complete and accurate to me.
BS! There are bad apples in every calling... but the Church has a high concentration of very good men and women united in their devotion to Christ. What you posted is a baseless slander.
Given that this story doesn't involve a priest, that would help in this case exactly how?
Perhaps Europeans should be allowed to marry. Oh...never mind.
Seriously, it is idiotic to think that homosexuals in the priesthood are sodomizing one another and others simply because they are forbidden to marry.
How do you explain public school teachers?
"It was during this investigation into corruption that wiretaps revealed his alleged sexual activity. In one conversation, Ehiem tells Balducci: "I saw your call when I was in the Vatican, because I was doing rehearsals in the choir in St Peter's." He then suggests Balducci meet a man who he describes is "two metres tall 97 kilos aged 33, completely active."
Balducci is also a senior adviser to the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples, the department that oversees the Roman Catholic church's worldwide missionary activities.
Since 1995, he has been a member of one of the world's most exclusive fraternities the Gentlemen of His Holiness, or Papal Gentlemen, the ceremonial ushers of the papal household. In the words of a 1968 ordinance, they are expected to "distinguish themselves for the good of souls and the glory of the name of the Lord".
"My sense is that enemies target with infiltration and embarrassment those groups that oppose them. Their hope is to: (1) be elevated to important positions from which they can change the policies of the organization, or (2) injure the organization."
This is exactly how the sodomites and other leftists operate. The Catholics set the stage for trouble, however, with Vatican II.
All of the church, and not just the RC, needs to make it clear that homosexual acts, bestial acts, etc. are sin, what evils these deviants really are responsible for, and find them in our organizations and cast them out and make sure none slip back in.
