Your feedback is important to us.
by: Juan Carranza
Much has been said in the media recently of the alarming yet established practice of politicians accepting political contributions for face time at fundraising events. The obvious concern is that this kind of fundraising tilts the democratic process in favour of those who can pay to be seen or heard and away from those who can't pay. Today, the CBC released the names of the 30 biggest political donors in the last three years.
Those of us working with injured accident victims are not surprised to see that the Insurance Bureau of Canada was the fourth largest contributor since 2013. The Insurance Bureau of Canada is the lobby group for casualty and property insurers. Among other things, the IBC lobbies for legislative changes favourable to their interests of improving insurer profits. The problem is that these changes frequently clash with the needs of injured accident victims, who typically don't have a seat at the fundraising galas.
Anyone looking at the amendments to the Insurance Act and its regulations over the last ten years, particularly as they relate to compensation for motor vehicle accidents will note a dramatic decline in standard benefits, including:
You are left wondering how such political contributions could not be influencing policy. What is particularly ironic is that these cuts to accident benefits often leave accident victims without coverage for needed treatment or income support, and they are forced to turn to government-funded public services, such as the emergency wards of our public hospitals and social assistance – services we all pay for. These cuts are downloading responsibility from the private sector to the public. It is a transfer of obligations from insurance companies with billions in assets to the overburdened public health system and meagrely funded social assistance programs. The fact that this is done by a government that received six-figure donations from the lobby for those insurers leaves us with more questions than answers.
To add insult to injury, these cuts to accident benefits in Ontario have continued despite private insurers' windfall profits as pointed out in a 2014 study by York University professors Fred Lazar and Elli Prisman. Accident victims have ended up bankrolling the insurer's record profits. Accident victims often lose their jobs, their savings, and their independence; they depend on others for the basic necessities of daily life. They have fewer benefits and they still have their votes - but they don't have the $315,310 the Insurance Bureau of Canada spent since 2013 in political donations.

Heavy Flaming Oil Jet
Turn the ground behind you into a pool of blazing oil. It won`t be easy for them to follow you if they start having their tires melted.
VERY useful in delivering tire damage for extended periods.. There is also a chance that the flaming pool will light up the unlucky car driving through it. When a car is burning, not only does the armor take damage, the occupants suffer great morale loss (making them less likely to hit you with their weapons) and possible bodily damage depending on how long the car stays on fire.
The difference between this weapon and the Flaming oil jet is the FOJ has smaller bulk, amount of time the hazard remains on the ground and the damage inflicted.
As with ANY flame producing weapon, the danger of your weapons taking damage and DETONATING is a real possibility! When a flame producing weapon detonates, the resulting explosion is powerful enough to kill your car, every one in it, AND seriously damage or kill any cars with occupants within 2 car lengths of your ill-fated vehicle.

There are three distinct realms in the conception of time: the subjective present, which cannot be contained and therefore may not actually exist; the past, which has already happened, so it ceases to be; and the future, which hovers away at a distance, never actualizing into being.
This notion of time as manifold becomes essential when reading Rachel Joyce's new novel Perfect, a dark follow-up to her highly celebrated debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. The novel begins in the summer months of 1972, in the English countryside setting of Cranham Moor. Byron Hemmings, an imaginative boy of 11, becomes anxious when he learns that two leap seconds are going to be added to time to balance it with the irregular movement of the earth. Byron insists it isn't safe. "Two seconds are huge," he tells his mother. "It's the difference between something happening and something not happening."
Byron's mother, Diana, doesn't have the time to worry about something as insignificant as mere seconds. She operates her life with precision, expertly managing the minutiae of motherhood and domesticity in a uniform of slim skirts and pointy heels. Yet her entire life centers around caring for her children and preparing for weekend visits from her estranged husband Seymour, who keeps her confined in Cranham Manor, their Georgian home that sits in the isolation of "winds, sky and earth."
Byron has a habit of watching his mother closely, and imagines her mind as a "series of tiny inlaid drawers with jeweled handles so delicate his fingers would struggle to get a grip." She makes everything looks so effortless, but that is largely because her life is an act that she assumes with the same efficiency as her tightly guarded wristwatch. Yet her perfection, like time, cannot be contained, or even controlled.
This spilling of time becomes palpable on the day that Byron believes he witnesses the addition of the two seconds. Diana is running late getting Byron and his sister to school, so she decides to take a shortcut down Digby Road, a decrepit social-housing project. When her Jaguar swerves under the heavy morning mist, it isn't clear to Diana what has happened, yet Byron is sure that the two seconds are responsible for setting off a chain of events that destroy more than one life.
In the present day, we find Jim, a man so crippled by his OCD that he must enact a series of rituals to feel any sense of ease with the world. Jim has spent most of his life in Beasley Hill, a mental hospital that became a sanctuary, protecting him from the passing of time. Readers will wonder how Jim is connected to Byron Hemmings and the two seconds. And while the mystery of Jim is eventually discovered in a revelation as shocking as the truth about Harold's son David in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, the tedious pacing of Jim's story feels like a series of road blocks disrupting the more absorbing story of Byron and Diana.
The repercussions of single moments reverberate throughout Perfect. And by the end of the novel, past, present and future surge together, as time loses all sense of meaning for both Byron and Jim. Yet it is Diana who loses the most in Perfect. Joyce builds up her ivory tower only to tear it down, revealing the shell of woman that is a victim of time and the limitations of English class structures.
In a note to readers, the author confesses that the novel had initially come out of her own feelings of helplessness. After the birth of her third child, Joyce struggled with the demands of motherhood, reaching a shortfall between meeting the needs of her children, and her will to keep up appearances. With Perfect, Joyce not only questions whether true perfection can ever actually exist, her exploration of its causal relationship with time exposes both as liquid concepts that, as hard as one can try, cannot be contained.

The "Pre-Edition" versus the eventual First Edition
I plan to release a First Edition of the Pfiffner Traverse Guide in or before May 2017, just before the high country season begins. In the meantime, I have made available a "Pre-Edition" that contains useful but incomplete information, so that you can begin to plan.
If you purchase the Pre-Edition, I will contact you when the First Edition (and perhaps substantial additions to the Pre-Edition) becomes available, and you will be upgraded for free. Ditto for a Second Edition, if one is warranted after this first season.
In its current state (as of January 13), the Pre-Edition includes:
- Topographic maps for the Primary Route, eight Section Hikes, and Alternate Routes
- Datasheets for the Primary Route, eight Section Hikes, and all Alternate Routes
The text below describes the expected contents of the First Edition. The details may change some, but probably not much — this is my third high route guide, and by this point I have it mostly figured out.
In the Pfiffner Traverse section of this website, I have posted extensive information to help you decide if this route is right for you. If you're on this page, I assume you wish to proceed. Your next step is to download the Pfiffner Traverse Guide, which includes must-have resources for thru- and section-hiking it.
The Guide includes a complete and excellent Mapset, with separate print-ready PDF's for the Primary Route and its Alternates, and each of the Section Hikes. The maps were developed using CalTopo, using the gold standard USGS 7.5-minute topographic series as the base map.
The maps are so extensively annotated that you will probably refer to the Guidebook text only for the most complex sections. Intentionally, I did not draw a specific line of travel on the map — I didn't want to steal your fun by telling you exactly where to go.
When printed on 11 x 17 paper, the map scale will be its native 1:24,000. Printing on smaller paper will compress the topographic detail, perhaps to the point of being illegible. Contour intervals are 40 feet.
Sample map from the Wind River High Route Guide, which is the closest model for the Pfiffner Traverse Guide
Printing tips for topographic maps
The Guidebook has three parts:
Part 1 ("Before you go") has information to help you plan your trip, e.g. transportation, permitting, direction of travel, resupply, recommended equipment. This information is in addition to the preparatory materials at the mini-site.
Part 2 and Part 3 ("As you go") are complementary to the Mapset. They offer general information and context, and in-depth route information for sections that really need. The Primary Route (thru-hike) and its Alternate Routes are described in Part 2, and the Section Hikes and their Alternate Routes are described in Part 3.
Part 1, 2, and 3 are provided as a separate PDF file, designed for printing on Letter 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Part 1 need not be printed since it has minimal or no relevance in the field, but you may prefer a physical copy to read and annotate before your trip. Thru-hikers should print Part 2. Section-hikers should print from Part 2 and Part 3 the pages that are relevant to their itinerary.
Sample from the Wind River High Route Guide
Data Sheets
These quick-reference spreadsheets list the incremental and cumulative distances and vertical change between key landmarks. They are extremely useful in planning your trip, scheduling your day, and gauging your pace. Databooks for the Primary Route, eight Section Hikes, and Alternates are included, as well as for a dozen other possible Section Hikes that I did not consider as "classic."
Sample: Datasheet for the Primary Route, page 1
GPX file
I have included a GPX file with very limited information. You'll find waypoints for trailheads and for select high points, and a track that will help you identify the topographic map tiles you need to download onto your handheld GPS or smartphone. It does not include a track for the recommended route — that's for you to figure out.
Download details
With a decent internet connection, the entire Guide can be easily downloaded. The files have been compressed into a single zipped file and must be extracted using standard Windows or Apple software before accessing. It's XYZ MB in size.
If you need a copy on DVD, please contact me with your mailing address, and attach a receipt of purchase.
If your access expires before you have had a chance to download the files, of if you lose the files at some point, contact me so that I can renew your access.
Resources not included
In addition to the detailed set of topographic maps included with the Guide, I would also recommend obtaining NG Trails Illustrated maps #200, #102, and #103, as well as digital maps of the area stored on a GPS or smartphone. Read more.

This past Saturday New York's attorney general sued Donald Trump for $40 million saying the real estate mogul helped run a phony "Trump University" that promised to make students rich but instead steered them into expensive and mostly useless seminars, and even failed to deliver promised apprenticeships.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says many of the 5,000 students who paid up to $35,000 thought they would at least meet Trump but instead all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size cardboard cutout picture of The Donald.
A cardboard cutout!? This is every leadership coach and trainer's worst nightmare. Leadership 101!
We were discussing this with the team at New Directions, and yes, having a laugh at The Donald's expense (I'm sure he can afford it). What was he attempting to do? Did he really think a cardboard cutout would suffice? What was this all about? We came to the conclusion that it might have been his way of engaging – being emotionally involved or committed.
As leaders (whether it be in running a university, managing a brand, or like most of us, running a team, department or organization), we know that engaging with our followers is crucial to our leadership. It can be the defining factor between great leadership and everything else. And yet, as The Donald proved, "engagement" is a very slippery slope.
Engagement as a leader means you are present. This doesn't only mean physically (no cardboard cutouts, please), but present in mind and in the spirit of the task or relationship. It also means being present in the way we communicate, solve problems and team with others to build an ecosystem that invites great talent in and retains the commitment of followers.
Interestingly in a beehive the queen leader has what we call the P-Factors which is part of her natural pheromone system. One of the P-Factors is the Footprint Factor in which the queen continually walks around the hive and over the honeycomb spreading her pheromone which lets the worker bees know she's there, she is present, that the hive is safe and that she cares for them.
The new generation of workers coming into the workplace is going to require even more personal engagement and transparency. The notion that a leader would promise one thing and offer something completely different will not be tolerated by this generation. It is some of the reason we see the active disengagement from this younger generation. Once they figured out how organizations actually operated and what a leader was actually attempting to do or say or be, young workers are leaving those companies.
Recent Gallup research shows that only 36% of managers and executives were engaged last year – meaning they are deeply involved in and enthusiastic about their work and actively contributing to their organization. Yikes!
There is a proven strong relationship between employees' workplace engagement and their respective companies' overall performance. Gallup's national engagement data for the past four years of only one in three workers engaged in their jobs means businesses, organizations and leaders of those organizations, as a whole, are not maximizing their workforces.
If we were to sit down with the Donald and do some executive coaching on engagement here's what we might say:
1. Work on setting false expectations and not living up to what you promised – under promise and over deliver.
2. Watch out for fake engagement – people see through it. Don't bill it as one thing and then make it something else that it was never intended to be.
3. Stop with the fake leadership – put around you some devil advocates, and people smarter than you that won't say 'yes' too easily. Be ready to listen to feedback and change.
What do you think? Is the era of cardboard leadership over? Do you see this new workforce expecting and needing different levels of engagement?

Rationalist Approaches to International Cooperation: A Call for Theoretical Reorientation
For several years now, rational choice theorists of international relations have been working aggressively to incorporate models of power, bargaining, and distributional conflict into their larger explanatory edifice. So far, however, few of these theorists have thought to challenge the view, most closely associated with the "neoliberal" scholar Robert Keohane, that international cooperation facilitates positive-sum gains – if not for the world as a whole then certainly for the voluntarily cooperating states or governments in question. This article introduces and develops the notion of go-it-alone power to demonstrate how, even when cooperation among nations (or, for that matter, among firms or individuals) takes place on a strictly voluntary basis, the resulting arrangements need not in fact be mutually beneficial. That is, some actors may rationally decide to take part in these arrangements even though they fully expect to incur absolute losses relative to the non-cooperative status quo. What emerges from this discussion is a broader – albeit less sanguine – theoretical perspective on power, cooperation, and the continuing proliferation of new "Pareto-improving" regional and multilateral initiatives.

If You Really Love Binge Watching With Bae, Put A Ring On It!May 31st, 2016 by Christen
First there were purity rings, then promise rings and now there's a new form of outrageous commitment rings coming to a finger near you soon. Modeled after engagement rings, there are new "streaming commitment rings" that have been created to symbolize your promise to binge watch together, forever. That's right, with these rings, you're promising to Netflix and chill with and only with your streaming partner by your side.
So what really makes these rings work? Of course they don't simply rely on your willpower alone. They actually sync with the streaming service itself, making it so that the couples show of choice can only be watched when both rings are in the same vicinity. Working with most streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and more – with the streaming commitment rings, there's no way around catching up on your favorite shows without your partner around.
Personally, I think if bae gives you a streaming commitment ring before you score that engagement ring, you have more important things to worry about! But I guess any ring is better than no ring, right? Find out when you can purchase your set of streaming commitment rings on the company's website here.
Who's on your stream team? Have you ever been violated by a Netflix cheater? Share and tag your favorite binge-watching buddies on Twitter and Facebook!
Love To Binge Watch? This Mobile Carrier Is Letting You Watch Your Favorite Shows For Free!November 11th, 2015 by Christen
How would you like to binge watch your favorite shows from Netflix, HBO Go and more – anytime, any place?
With Binge ON, T-Mobile unleashes your favorite binge-worthy shows without ever burning up customers' high-speed data.
If you're a T-Mobile customer, you can now watch your favorite shows without watching your data or searching for WiFi. With Binge On, video now streams free for viewers and subscribers of Crackle, Encore, ESPN, Fox Sports, Fox Sports Go, HBO Now, HBO Go, Hulu, MLB, Movieplex, NBC Sports, Netflix, Sling TV, Sling Box, SHOWTIME, STARZ, T–Mobile TV, Univision Deportes, Ustream, Vessel, Vevo, VUDU—with more streaming services on the way—without ever touching their 4G LTE data on Simple Choice plans with extra data.
T–Mobile is also including Verizon's Go90 and AT&T's DirecTV streaming services in Binge On.
"With Binge On, no one pays—not the customers, not the video streaming services—and everyone wins," – T–Mobile President and CEO, John Legere
With mobile video now the #1 way Americans use smartphone data, it's nice to see a carrier making a way for customers to enjoy entertainment easier and less expensive. Customers are using nearly two-and-a-half times more of their wireless data for mobile video in the last two years. But that's nothing compared to where we're headed. According to forecasts, mobile video usage is poised to surge more than 400% by 2020.
Binge On and the new Simple Choice plan will be available starting Sunday, November 15. Existing T–Mobilecustomers will get Binge On starting Thursday, November 19. For more information on Binge On, see www.t–mobile.com/bingeon.
Want To Netflix And Chill? There's A (Dating) App For That!September 21st, 2015 by Tech Staff
Football, trips to the local apple orchard and the cool crisp seasonal air of change can only mean one thing, move over summer time fun, "Netflix and Chill" season is here.
One way to make sure your meet-cutes happen in the most casual of ways is simply by turning on a show on Netflix and… well, chilling. That's where Netfling, a Tinder-like app centered around Netflix viewing habits fills a much-needed empty space in the dating pool game.
At the moment Netfling, is only a concept (nope, you can't DL it on your phone yet) created by advertising agency SuperHeroes Amsterdam but that's only because Netflix hasn't opened its API (come on, Netflix!). But (fingers crossed) once it does the Tinder-like service would allow you to match with other streaming lovers that share similar entertainment taste as you do through efficient swiping action. Yep, you can finally find someone else that's into The X-Files and wants to curl up on the couch and watch the sci-fi series with you.
We'll be sure to keep an eye on the progress of this dating app because, really, aren't we all just looking for the perfect couch companion at the end of the day?
Would you use Netfling as a dating app option? Let us know in the comments.
Netflix & MGA Develops New STEM Show & Toy Line For GirlsAugust 7th, 2015 by Tech Staff
If you grew up a fan of shows like Inspector Gadget or Clarissa Explains It All – there's a new wave of entertainment made specially for girls and stem! Check out the gadget wielding, social media savvy girls from Project Mc² below!
"The Project Mc² brand was developed in order to inspire girls that it's cool to be smart, leverage the growing trend of STEM,"Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment
The company behind Little Tikes and the Bratz Dolls have taken a new approach to STEM, launching a line of Project Mc² dolls. Each doll comes with a working experiment kit, so kids can play and feel inspired to learn more about science, technology, engineering and math. The line, named Project Mc², released today at Walmart, Toys 'R' Us, Amazon, Kmart and more stores nationwide.
In addition to the release of the dolls, a Netflix Original series also titled Project Mc² has premiered today. The show focuses on four girls inspired by the dolls who are recruited to join a top-secret spy organization.
Each doll is matched with one of four experiment kits, to create working volcanos, lava lights, glow stick necklaces or blueprint skateboards, respectively. Customers can build and rebuildall of these projects using household ingredients. In response to a growing demand to get girls interested in STEM, MGA released dolls that could act as smart, empowered role models.
Are you as excited as we are? We can't wait to share this show with all the future STEM women in tech we know!
Cutting the Cord: Are You Ready?June 5th, 2013 by Nicole
Cutting the Cord: Are You Ready?
What we mean by cutting the cord, we mean your cable service! Is this unthinkable for you? From those floor models, to big boxes, to flat screens – televisions have come a long way – a VERY long way. Oh well, there could be time for another upgrade if the millennials (18 year olds – 33 year olds) have anything to say about it. Most people between the ages of 18 – 33 are moving to laptops, tablets, and smart phones when viewing television content and digital content providers know this. They are tech-savvy and use their technology more resourcefully.
"early six in 10 Millennials watch at least one hour of television every day. The real shift is HOW they consume television. A 2013 eMarketer study found that 106 million Americans, or one in three Americans, watched TV online. That number is expected to grow to 145 million in the next four years and the trend is led by those ages 18-34.
In 2010 a survey of college freshman found 87 percent said they prefer watching TV and movies online rather than subscribing to a cable or satellite dish service. Some television networks realize this shift and are evolving to better engage them."
Cutting the Cord: Why Go to Streaming Services?
They want their information fast and now. More TV viewers are subscribing to streaming video services such as Amazon Prime Instant, Netflix, Aereo, and Hulu Plus. They are paying a significantly lower fee than the surging cable prices and have the option of watching content anytime, anyplace and from multiple devices. Each year subscriptions to these online streaming services grow. Certainly cable companies still have better options for viewers such as easier to use technology, and they can offer more content because of license agreements and restrictions, but I'm sure in the near future that will change. Oddly enough, cable subscription fees have increased.
The challenge for marketers today is to create content they want to view, but equally important is to make it viewable in the right places and to make it interactive.
How much of an effect do you think the price of cable service has for the shift to online viewing? Do you think you could ever completely cut off your cable service?
Check Out Fanhattan, Our App of the WeekApril 26th, 2013 by Nicole
Do you have an account with Netflix, Amazon On Demand, Hulu, iTunes, and HBO Go to view your favorite premium channels on your iPhone or iPad? You access the web or app to access Netflix to watch a TV show and then access HBO Go to watch Game of Thrones. It's a pain to remember all those user accounts, passwords, and accessing individual app services to view your favorite shows. Who can keep track! Well, your life just got easier. Fanhattan may have solved our problem. Access all your video content in one location through Fanhattan. I'm already in love!
"The company launched its app for the iPad and iPhone in 2011, giving users the ability to search simultaneously through the libraries of a steadily expanding roster of sources of movies and TV shows. That's far more convenient than browsing through Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, Amazon and the like sequentially, trying to figure out which one has which content, in what format and at what price."
How Does Fanhattan Work?
Fanhattan has a cross-service search engine that can find and discover content from all your video services. It also has user reviews, friend recommendations, and a daily magazine. You can create a "Watch List" to track your favorite movies and shows – and the service will inform you when new videos on your Watch List become available.
Check Out Fanhattan, Our App of the Week
"The Fanhattan web experience will also add a new way of saving content for later". According to Fanhattan CEO Gilles Bian Rosa, iOS users typically use Fanhattan to find content that they want to watch instantly. But web browsers (pun intended) sometimes are looking for stuff to watch later. As a result, Fanhattan provides users with the ability to Watch Now or — wait for it — Watch Later.
The "Watch Now" function shows users where they can instantly tune in to a piece of content. And you can probably figure out what "Watch Later" is for. If a title isn't on any streaming services yet, or if it's still in theaters, Fanhattan will let users add it to a Watch List and be notified when it becomes available. Users can even create, curate, and multiple lists for different genres of content, and share them with others.
"In addition to providing users with title, cast, and crew information, Fanhattan will also have entertainment news, celebrity interviews, behind-the-scenes commentary, and reviews — giving users a more complete look into the content they're interested in viewing. Users who are logged in through Facebook will also be able to share what they're watching and see what their friends are viewing as well." (techcrunch.com)

Re: Best way to achieve lotus position
Expand Messages
- Gently and gradually. Just "sitting" is a technique itself. It's
helpful to close your eyes and try to visualize yourself in Lotus.
Also to begin by crossing your legs at the ankle and slowly working up
to placing just one foot on the opposite thigh first. It's most
important to go at your own pace, be of good cheer, and listen to and
honor your body always. Another tip: keep the spine as straight as
comfortably possible, without rigidity, and be sure the head is
"floating" above the body, and breathe into the area you are trying to
stretch. Good Luck and Peace -- Bette Rose

Who should play TV's 'New Pope'?
They've already courted controversy among Catholics by casting Jude Law as an ultra-conservative American Young Pope. Now TV companies HBO and Sky are set to cause further consternation with the announcement of a spin-off series, The New Pope, which will be filmed late next year. While creator Paolo Sorrentino hasn't ruled out the idea of Law appearing in the series in a reprisal of his Pope Pius XIII character, he won't be the show's focus.
So with a casting search underway to play the central role in the new drama, Christian Today thought it would be helpful to present the producers with a few options. Here's our entirely speculative list of actors who'd each bring something very different to the role of Pope.
The Action Pope – Jason Statham
Just as the producers of the Fast and Furious film series discovered, there's no-one more qualified to breathe new life into a long-running franchise than 'The Stath'. Imagine the Transporter star kicking and punching his way through the corridors of the Vatican in a long white dress. When a 400-year-old canon law needs changing, this is the Pope who'll get the job done.
The Female Pope – Meryl Streep
Every time the BBC casts a new Doctor Who, a loud lobby of fans and equality campaigners asks: 'Why can't it be a woman this time?' The new series could blaze a trail where Who has so far feared to tread by casting one of Hollywood's multitude of talented actresses. And who better than perennial Oscar-nominee Meryl to take on the job of adding a feminine touch to the Holy See?
The Statesman Pope – Sir Michael Caine
A veteran of nearly 90 films and counting, the one-time 'Top Geezer' of swinging 60s cinema is now playing more refined and statesman-like roles. At the age of 84 he's at the sort of age consistent with real-world popes, and just like the last few octogenarians to take up the highest office in Catholic showbusiness, he's lost none of his sharpness. Imagine the scene at his election when the papal conclave ends with a surprise explosion: 'You were only supposed to blow the... white smoke out.'
The Serious Actor Pope – David Oyelowo
Selma and Queen of Katwe star Oyelowo has already played one iconic religious and political figurehead in Martin Luther King, so perhaps the papal reins are the next natural step. After being shockingly overlooked for awards in his most famous role, he'll be certain to sweep the board at the Emmys, Golden Globes, Baftas (and possibly even the Grammys) the next time he's given a meaty populist part. As one of the best actors working in Hollywood – and a committed Christian – he'd be a great choice if Sorrentino wants to add some gravitas to the show.
The Comedy Pope – Steve Carrell
Even though Sorrentino's first series was a dark, simmering drama, there's no reason why the spin-off has to follow suit. Instead it could be a slapstick comedy, or even a mockumentary in the style of Spinal Tap. In either case, we think American Office and Evan Almighty star Carrell would be perfect in the lead role, as a bumbling Pontiff who gets locked in the Popemobile, loses his hat on the balcony in St Peter's Square, and get's caught in an excruciating PR disaster after mixing up the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.
The Devout Pope – Frank Skinner
After upsetting Catholics with his first series, Sorrentino could look to re-engage them by casting a devout practising Catholic in the new role. British comedian Skinner regularly talks about his faith on screen at every opportunity – rarely does an episode of his hit show Room 101 go by without references to it – so playing the earthly figurehead of his denomination could be the natural next step.
The Unlikely Pope – Russell Brand
If it's stunt casting that Sky and HBO are after, then they could do worse than approaching long-haired comedian-turned-philosopher Brand, who has announced his admiration for most belief systems at some point. Having been on his own redemptive journey (during which he may have committed almost all of the possible sins listed by the Catholic Church), Brand could add some intriguing depth to the role, and play the Pope as a YouTubing football fan who's trying innovative new methods to reconnect the Church with a younger generation.

PHOTOS — Singer Madison Beer Shows Off Her Beer Belly!
MIAMI BEACH — The best thing about singer Madison Beer being too young to drink, is that the only beer belly she's got is the family Beer belly she was born with!
And it is just as age-appropriately adorable as it should be.
Because she's only 17 years old.
The Justin Bieber protege wore a tiny baby blue bikini and locked lips her boyfriend of two years Jack Gilinsky, 20, as the pair acted like two fools in love.
Actually, does that mean he was 18 and dating a 15-year-old?
We'll leave those troubling math questions to the authorities.
The pair did seem to enjoy their vacation. Check out the snaps below and get even more Beer here:

For something as major as your home loan, it is important to know what benefits a mortgage broker can provide you instead of going directly to the bank. As a mortgage broker i have access to over 30 lenders you know and trust as well as 1000 different loan products. I can assist you with owner occupied loans, investment loans, buying your first home, construction loans and guarantor loans.
Investment Home Loans
Whether you are looking to purchase your first investment property or you already have an investment portfolio, I can assist you. If you are unsure where to start I can sit down with you and go through your assets, income and expenses so that we can get a better understanding of how much you can afford to borrow to invest. Make sure you have a mortgage broker on your side as well a good accountant and property manager looking after your biggest assets.
Construction Loans
Knowing exactly what to expect when building your home is a key part of a successful build. Building can be a complex process that involves multiple parties including; builders, contractors, solicitors, accountants, quantity surveyors and the council. It is in your best interest to choose a broker who knows the in's and out's to a construction loan; that's where I come in.
First Home Buyers
Buying your first home can be very daunting but exciting. I will assist you through the whole process, from our initial meeting, which I will go through with you all aspects of your loan and any questions you may have. The most commonly asked questions being; How much deposit do I need? How much can I borrow? How does the first home owners grant work?
The most important thing to ask yourself when you are considering to refinance is, will this put me in a better position? I can go through the sums and costs involved in changing home loans. If it's going to put you into a better position then why not?
Latest News
How does a guarantor loan work?
One of the biggest barriers to buying a home is coming up with the deposit needed to cover the lenders requirements and also the associated fees (such as stamp duty & lenders mortgage insurance). A guarantor loan can reduce and even remove the need for any deposit at all. This is done by taking security over another property. Typically a family member will be the one to provide their home as security and they must have the required equity available in their property to do so. This amount will be different based on the loan amount and purchase price of your new home.
How much deposit do I need?
The most common question that I get as a mortgage broker is about the amount of deposit required. The answer will depend on what lender we use, what the purpose of the loan is (owner occupied or investment) and where we buy (metro or regional). It will also depend on whether you are trying to avoid paying lenders mortgage insurance (which requires a higher deposit) or whether you are looking to pay the minimum deposit required.

Samantha Jade arrives
View Single Post
December 5th, 2008, 07:42 PM
Posts: n/a
The birth experience of Samantha is something I'm starting to emotionally heal from. I think it's probably because of things that have happened since.
We went to a
rally for funded midwife coverage
in May 5, 2008. It was both Samantha's and my first rally ever. Since the birth of my dd, I've worked with two MLA's to get midwifes funded. The doulas and midwives of Alberta have already done most (if not all) the work to get it done but the problem politically seemed to be by funding midwives, they financially benefitted. So my second MLA and I were able to help finish the work. My story was one that had no financial gain and my MLA is a new politician trying to build a profilio. At a stampede breasfast he told me that it's going to be done come September or October. I was so happy that I called my doula! Obviously this promise has been told to her a time or two because she said we'll wait and see. With him working hard behind the scenes, on October 16, 2008 midwivery was announced to be funded in Alberta. I feel incredibly proud to be part of the reason why. My MLA sent me the transcripts of the announcement said in the House of Commons and I have it framed to show Samantha. Obviously all of this has helped me to heal..
I re-read my story and I wanted to add that Samantha is 100% vax-free and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I posted my journey on researching vaccines in my profile for anyone to see. I will say I again feel robbed and yet blessed at my treatment by the CHR because if they wouldn't have treated me so badly I would have vaccinated my dd believing in the greater good of vaccines. So in the end, I helped to get midwivery funded, learned more about immune systems, became an advocate for informed vaccine choices and overall have taken control of my dd's health in a way I never thought I could. I've learned more about why other's mom's opinions matter equally or greater than a doctor's (allopathic) opinion. I feel empowered to help other moms now through the first stages and may one day become a homeopath because of everything.
I'm humbled to have learned so much through JM and I'm so thankful to JM for being a wonderful resource for moms. If I didn't have JM, I wouldn't be here today. I think I'm done adding to my birth story so thank you to anyone who read it all.

Restoring Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8
Hi. I am wondering if it is LEGAL to go back to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8. I am not talking about the consumer preview, but about the final release since October 25. I have a laptop by HP, with pre-installed Windows 7. Can I simply restore Windows 7 and go on without a reactivation? How would that work? And what would happen to the upgrade disk of Windows 8? I do have an image of windows 7 to reinstall. I am not worried about windows.old folder. Just wondering about the legality of the process. Thanks for helping.

You only lose the use of the underlying OS during the time it is qualifying for Upgrade.
If you decide to use the Windows 8 upgrade elsewhere, you can run HP System Recovery which self-activates, or do the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which reactivates with the Product Key on COA sticker.

Skip to comments.Chris Matthews: Obama is Not Connected (NK)
Posted on 11/20/2009 4:38:18 PM PST by jazminerose
Running through the litany of Obamas most recent failures, the sycophant in chief at MSNBC has declared that the Obama administration is not connected (NK in Chriss language) with the American people.
Matthews stunned his audience of twelve (the janitorial staff leaves early on Fridays) by chiding the once deified Obama for his asinine over bow to the Japanese emperor.
Revisiting one of his daffier theories, Matthews opined that Obama s real problem is an unnatural over abundance of IQ point which make it impossible for him to understand normal people.
Et tu, Chrissy?
Not connected!
He's got the WRONG connections all over the map. Globe.
Funny how the libs tout barry's iq, but when asked, they don't know what it is, but frequently answer, "off the charts".
Used to think that Micheal Savage's assertion that liberalism was a "mental disorder" was a bit over the top. I find myself reassessing that opinion. A chicago aldercritter asserted that cops and gangbangers didn't communicate well because the cops were too well educated and "talked over" the street punks. Another Alderman, having been held up at gunpoint, wished that, if her assailant were apprehended, she could ask him "Where have we failed you?"
Yes, wouldn't it be great to see some of his school records to really show off all of those IQ points?
Yeah Chrissy, If he's so smart then why is it that everything he does turns to stupid?
..yeah scribbled on the wall underneath
I'm not hung up on the smart stuff, Chrissy is still pretty infatuated. But what is striking is how Chrissy of all people came up with a list of BO failures & is griping about how out of touch BO is with the rest of us.
The ether may be wearing off.
Well. it's higher than his bowling score.
what was that score, 27?
you got that right, ;)
From Wiki answers..
What is Barack Obama's IQ?
In: IQ, Barack Obama
Protected question **(editorial comment from me - if his IQ was high, he would have released that information. he has refused, just like he has with all his other records)
He has not released that information. From the information available:
* The average IQ for a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in the U.S. is 115.
Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School.
* Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for over 10 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range.
* Obama attended an elite private school in Honolulu as a scholarship student. Since all of the graduates from that school at that time took collegiate aptitude tests and he was not a National Merit Scholar, Semifinalist, or Outstanding Participant, his maximum possible score on the SAT was 1230, which is the 96.9 percentile. That would translate to a maximum possible IQ of 129. It should be noted, however, that one of the requirements for the National Merit Scholarship is taking the Preliminary SAT test. If Obama did not take the PSAT, he could very well have scored above 1230 on the SAT without being a National Merit Scholar.
The Doc was right. ;)
I guess Obama won't release his K-12 and university transcripts because they're so high he doesn't want to embarrass the rest of America!
Re: "wouldnt it be great to see some of his school records to really show off all of those IQ points?"
I'd settle for any of his records:
Original, vault copy birth certificate — Not released (lawyers' fees = $2,000,000 ~ birth certificate = $15)
Certification of Live Birth — Released — Counterfeit
Obama/Dunham marriage license — Not released (if one exists)
Obama/Dunham divorce — Released (by independent investigators)
Kindergarten records — Records lost by the State of Hawaii — LOL!
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license — Not released
Soetoro adoption records — Not released
Fransiskus Assisi School School application — Released (by independent investigators)
Punahou School records — Not released
Soetoro/Dunham divorce — Released (by independent investigators)
Selective Service Registration — Released — Counterfeit
Social Security Number — Under suspicion
Occidental College records — Not released
Passport — Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obama's terrorism and intelligence adviser.
Columbia College records — Not released
Columbia thesis — "Soviet Nuclear Disarmament" — Not released
Harvard College records — Not released
Harvard Law Review articles — None
Illinois Bar Records — Not released.
Baptism certificate — None
Medical records — Not released
Illinois State Senate records — None
Illinois State Senate schedule — Lost
Law practice client list — Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles — None
He is so empathetic in that way.
Test your barry knowledge; what's your obama IQ
on the question about vices, they don't mention DRUGS. I wonder why?
For anyone who takes the linked obama quiz, check out the quiz the tribune had for mccain. Biased? I'll say.
That was a conversation between Don Imus and presidential historian Michael Beschloss, Beschloss comes off as a silly dope.
It's only a minute long, it's hilarious:
Funny that MSM doesn't care that GW Bush graduated from Harvard, (his daddy got him in) but since barry won't release anything, they tout his "harvard" entrance as an estimate of IQ.
illogical hypocrites.

Ignoring Facts, Congress Invariably Opposes Base Closings
July 30, 2001
Closing no longer needed military bases saves taxpayers billions of dollars. Moreover, base closings more often than not stimulate local economies, despite dire predictions that the withdrawal of federal funds will leave them decimated.
But to Congress the illusion among voters of impending disaster is much more important than the facts. So invariably members circle the wagons and fight off closures.
- After 97 major bases in 28 states and Guam were closed between 1988 and 1995, and 55 others where reduced or realigned, the net savings have been estimated to total $14 billion so far.
- An additional $5.6 billion per year in savings is predicted to start accruing next year, according to the General Accounting Office.
- After the former Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire was closed, 100 private businesses sprang up on the site -- providing 4,100 jobs in the region.
- Charleston, S.C., realized 3,300 new jobs following closure of naval facilities there.
Federal officials say there are more people working now on the sites of bases closed in 1992-93 than when they were shut down.
The Bush administration is looking for a contribution of at least another $3 billion a year from base closings. It wants to use the money to help finance the modernization of the military in the coming decade.
But Congress is, once again, resisting.

The Mitchell home - affectionately called the Kiwi house because of its
somewhat rough exterior and cool, open interior - optimizes the layout
and orientation of its site. In keeping with the traditional imagery of
the neighborhood, the house is a modern interpretation of the shotgun
house, built for less than $100 a square foot.
The guiding design philosophy for the Kiwi House - and for that matter
+one as a whole - can be broken down into three principles: respond to
the site to allow the structure to bolster an existing sense of
community, tread lightly on natural resources minimizing consumption and
waste and finally plan for efficiency of energy use and reduction of
energy loss.
The 1,300 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house has an additional 430
square feet of covered porches. The master bedroom, with private bath
and walk-in closet, opens up to the backyard and private porch. The
laundry and storage room are located in the center of the house dividing
the public space from the private space. At the front of the house is a
living room/kitchen combination featuring a full glass facade connecting
the Mitchells to their community and the "front porch" culture of their
Equally important to community is +one's commitment to designing and
building with an environmental conscience. As Fritz Embaugh +one CEO
said, "One of the simplest ways to protect the environment and create
less waste is to use less of its natural resources, so we intentionally
incorporated these principles into the design."
Staying true to this philosophy, the company chose to address
environmental concerns in a myriad of ways. On the interior they
designed details using a metal reglet system, allowing +one to eliminate
crown molding and baseboards. By configuring the layout to block sight
lines, they were able to remove unnecessary doors. On the exterior, +one
choose to sheath the house in galvanized metal panels and fiber cement
board; each chosen for their durability, thermal properties and
resistance to termites and mold. The metal roof and siding are 100%
recyclable with the entire house designed in 2-foot increments
minimizing the amount of overall building material waste.
The third guiding principle - energy efficiency - dictated room layout
and placement of porches and windows to avoid thermal heat transfer by
opening the house to the East and turning from the west. Large overhangs
and protruding exterior walls shield all exposed windows preventing
direct sun light. Small upper windows were installed in the large rooms
allowing cross ventilation without sacrificing privacy. Additionally,
the house is built on a concrete slab, as opposed to traditional pier
and beam, creating a large thermal mass to help avoid large swings in
temperature. All ductwork in the home is encapsulated in insulation to
avoid heat loss and gain, as is the mechanical closet to eliminate an
additional heat source contrary to cooling the house. The subtle pitch
of the roof (belied by the high ceilings) was selected to reduce the air
mass and its subsequent heating and cooling requirements.

Star Wars, the story so far1:26
George Lucas and Disney are set to produce a new Star Wars trilogy, with Episode 7 to be released 2015.
FOR most people, the Star Wars saga ended with the death of Darth Vader, the destruction of the evil galactic Empire, and our heroes partying with the Ewoks in the treetops.
These were the events that concluded episode six in the franchise, Return of the Jedi, which was released in 1983.
But for many fans, that ending was only the beginning of an astonishing range of books, comics and games that sought to take the Star Wars story forward.
In this "expanded universe", Han and Leia had a son who became a Jedi knight, Luke found love, the universe got invaded by a new bunch of alien baddies, and characters who had only the most fleeting mentions in the original Star Wars movies found themselves fleshed out and cast in their own spin-off series.
But with Disney working on episodes seven, eight and nine of the saga, as well as a rumoured Boba Fett spin-off, the film makers have announced that they are sidelining the characters and concepts developed for the expanded universe.
In a statement released to fans at starwars.com, the original six movies and its film and TV offshoot, The Clone Wars, are described as "the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align".
"In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi expanded universe."
The statement also notes that while Star Wars creator George Lucas strove to keep "expanded universe" stories consistent with the original films, he "always made it clear that he was not beholden to the (expanded universe)".
In fact, the "expanded universe" is almost as old as the Star Wars franchise itself.
In the wake of the runaway success of the original film in 1977, George Lucas commissioned a novel the following year which featured Luke, Leia, Darth Vader, C3PO and R2D2.
That novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, was written by Alan Dean Foster and featured, among many other oddities, a lightsabre battle between Darth Vader and Princess Leia, and a considerable amount of sexual tension between Luke and Leia, who were revealed to be siblings in Return of the Jedi.
The events of the novel were not referenced in the second instalment of the Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back (1980), thus invoking the idea of a "canonical" and "non-canonical" rendering of the Star Wars universe.
Meanwhile, rumours about the first Disney-produced Star Wars film are spreading widely, with reports that Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) are all set to reprise their roles from the original films, although they are not expected to feature prominently.
