The PASSERSBY is a short film that belongs to the BATESIAN Universe project. And it's the first one in production. The team is starting to shoot on oct. 17th in Montreal. They are going to publish updates and share their experiences with you on a daily basis until everything is done and we can all enjoy the film itself. So stay tuned and check this site frequently!
It's a wrap!
Well guys, after months of work, dating back to the inception of the Batesian concept, long before even an outline of the script had been written, the first episode of the Batesian project has wrapped! We shot our last shot, cleaned up our set, finished up our behind-the-scenes footage, and many of us flew home to our respective countries.
But just because our Red Scarlet camera is back in its case, that doesn't mean "The Passersby" is all finished! Now editing begins, music composition kicks into high gear, and we make serious considerations regarding distribution and the festival circuit. And hey: we have wonderful donors to reward! Now we have the focus to get our gifts out to all of you! (And of course, you will all be named in our credits, unless you chose otherwise, but this comes a bit later).
Our budget served us well, and it is all thanks to you guys! We were able to secure our location, rent our equipment, insure said equipment and location and feed ourselves on set! But it came to a relieving conclusion.
We are so excited to be in postproduction…We can't wait to share our completed project with all of you!!
-"The Passersby" Cast and Crew
3rd Day
Update #14 · Oct. 20, 2012
Day three of shooting, behind the camera, everyone is having a lovely time! Despite this being the third twelve-hour workday in a row, everyone has remarkably high spirits and dedication. We are all passionate about our work, and it shows! A good rapport is key, a good chemistry under the flagship of a commanding but welcoming director, someone who forbids slacking but invites a creative workflow. Everyone on-set can attest to Joe Berger's responsible direction, Inka Malovic's sensitive performance, Connie Presich's excellent scriot work, Matthieu Elie's sharp eye…I could list every member of the team! Meanwhile the producers are conveniently close to the craft table, keeping a watchdog's secure guard over our humble budget. And while everyone has a specific role on the set, no one is above getting coffee for their companions or below having an opinion on the madness in front of the camera (the best kind of madness, of course). A team is what we are, and a large group of people can only make great art as a tight, well-led team.
So the work is hard, but we know the rewards will be reaped. We are also playing hard with the behind-the-scenes footage, giving anyone who would watch a glimpse into the kind of fun we are having on set between takes and during meals.
Tonight will be a late night of shooting, so a few more rough hours are ahead. But dedication (and Red Bull) keep us going! Now, back to the fray….
Hey everybody! It's the 17th, so production has officially begun! The whole crew is on set, the camera is rolling (as of 10:00 AM Montreal time), sound is rolling, and the actors are performing at their best! It's thrilling that all of our preproduction has come together, and now eveything is camera-ready.
Without giving away too much abut the story, the office looks incredible! Conny, our 1st Assistant Director, has created wonderful art that looks fantastic through the lens. We have already wrapped on Alessandro, one of our supporting actors. And Inka and Frayne are hard at work.
Thank you, donors! Stay tuned for more!
–The Production Team
The Scramble
Ironically, the least friendly people I have met in wonderful Montreal so far have been inside a church. I was scouring the messy tables of a charity flea market at St. Something's Chapel this rainy afternoon, looking for cheap, old office equipment that would be appropriate for our set, hoping to do so in time to make it back around the block to the Metro station before the rain got angry on me. Nearly all of the production crew spent today finding the right furniture, lighting, paint, and décor to suit our tiny room at the bottom of St. Something-Else (not to cheapen it, it's a gorgeous church), now the location of our one-room, one-woman prison of a set. An essential set piece remains to be installed, requiring a bit of minor construction work, but it's nothing too intense for our crew! If we can weather the weather, we can build a building.
Tomorrow is the first on-set dress rehearsal. Having seen Inka in costume for the leading role of Berta, it's incredibly exciting! An inanimate being who has dwelled only inside my head for so long is now a living, breathing woman…with all of her lines memorized.
We are all so happy to see the necessities come together, and it has been a scramble, but very much worth it. Of course, it's no time to celebrate: the most intense work is about to begin!
As a screenwriter, I was shocked to not only be invited into the production team, but be embraced by it. I may even take on an offscreen role, given the lack of native English speakers here (and my excessive natural talent, obviously). I've heard shame stories of someone pointing out the film's author and asking "Who is this? Oh, the screenwriter? Why is he here?" But this is truly a filmmaking experience that is not only hard-working and (eventually) effective, but fun. Director Joe Berger eradicates any source of negative energy or bad vibes in the team and does it with a smile. Not like a sociopath, but like a dedicated professional who is also friendly and human.
Oh, and I have to take a moment to thank the staff of Kino00 (find them on Facebook), whose assistance, equipment, wonderful meals and central heating make this experience much easier on all of us and allow us to focus on the hard work. Speaking of which….
Thanks for reading, thank you kindly for donating, and we will back with another update soon!
–André Rios (Screenwriter, Producer, Set Decoration Assistant, Language Coach, Voice Actor, obsessed with my titles)
New Team Members
And now, here is a look at two all-new members of the team!
1.) Frayne McCarthy, actor, supporting male role
Frayne is a bilingual performer whose stage roles have taken him throughout Europe and across Canada. Frayne is also a writer and director of children's theatre for the Turtle Island Theatre Company; he's collaborated with Daniel Boulerice on the musical "AutoPortrait" for the National Arts Centre of Canada; and most recently, working with composer and musical director Blair Thomson, he wrote and directed "The Virgin Courtesan" for Music Theatre Montreal. Coincidentally, Frayne also studied Studio Fine Arts at Heritage College and the University of Ottawa, where he trained as a painter and sculptor. His "skills" are available for the asking.
2.) Alessandro Merlo, actor, supporting male role
Alessandro is a university student studying Business. He has always had a love for acting and film. He started acting a few years ago in an ambitious independent film, for which he took the leading role. He has since been taking steps in perfecting his craft and augmenting his experience, now continuing with this wonderful project!
We welcome both of them! See their photos below (Frayne, Alessandro).
Cheers! Another update is soon to come! Thank you for your involvement!
Updated Schedule
The night we received the delightful news that our funding goals had in fact been achieved, we pitched our film before the organizers and attendees of Kino00 in Montreal! Check out a (blurry) pic below of a few of us sharing our vision and last-minute needs. Things we can now pay for!
Shooting has been pushed back to the 17th of October, 2012 to make room for an excellent, reputable Director of Photography. This gives us tons more time to make sure everything else is perfectly organized; top of the list: we need food! Who knew?
And now, here is a look at two all-new members of the team!
Dear Supporters,
Thank you so very much for your pledges. With your support, we have reached our $2,000 goal, and can now work to create the finest film we can! We promise to return your generosity with gratitude, frugality and an excellent completed project.
We cannot express our gratitude enough, but our pledge rewards are a start! We will notify each and every one of you soon regarding your special gift.
We will also continue to keep you posted on every milestone of the production! Our director projects that we will approve the final cut in the middle of November 2012! Stay tuned, you wonderful, wonderful folks!
Again, thank you!
–The Passersby Cast and Crew
PS We may have reached our goal, but hey: contributions are still welcome! Think of what $2,500 could do!
It's been a long proces of treatment and script development since November last year when The Passersby was chosen to be one of the 6 shorts of the BATESIAN project.
And here we go 11 month later, after long collaborative discussions on our on-line forum we have the 5th version of script and it's THE FINAL ONE! :)
It's neatly bound and ready for the shoot! This is the copy we will carry on set when shooting begins (only a few days to go)!
We have a few last rehearsals and meetings before principal production. We are all so excited to get started!!
Check out the photos of the official script below. Many if you delightful donors will receive a copy!
Pitching of The Passersby at Kino screening in Montreal
Update #7 · Oct. 06, 2012
After countless Skype calls and emails during the pre-production period, our international crew members who never met before finally arrived in Montreal and met at Kino screenening where they pitched the project in order to find more crewmembers for the missing departments such as DOP, sound, CGI, costume & wardrobe.
We are now talking with many specialists who expressed their wish to work on this short film. We also finally chose our main actress – beatiful and talented Inka Malovic!
We also set up the dates of shooting for 12th-14th October and reshoots and additional shots on 17th and 18th. The screening of the rough cut version will be on 20th October at Le Theatre Rialto in Montreal which gives quite a lot of pressure on our editor, but we believe we can do it!
We are ready to work day and night during the upcoming days! Stay tuned for more deatils…
En Route
Check out the video below of screenwriter Andre Rios as he begs for money, currently en route to Montreal just days before shooting begins!
International collaboration within the KINO MOVEMENT
Most of the crew members of The Passersby come from "Kino Movement" – a worldwide network of independent filmmakers who are gathering at filmmaking workshops, so called "Kino Kabarets" and are making films together without any competition, just for pleasure of creating art and films in an international environment of openminded creative people.
It originated in Montreal, Canada in 1999 and that's where we are actually going to shoot our film (Kino 00). The whole BATESIAN project was iniciated by KINO 5 in Vienna and other international Kino members from other countries joined later, such as Kino Praha, Kino Helsinki and is supported by many other kino groups worldwide.
Having this international network is also a reason why we can menage this international collaboration sucsesfully. We already have well developped tools of communication, we can rely on each other even if we are not sitting in one office together and doing the pre-production in different countries and different time-zones.
We are choosing our other crew members from this Kino network – it is a way how we can make a low-budget film with people who we can trust and who will be dedicated to work with us for free even with such a small budget as we are targeting during this KICKSTARTER campaign. We like making films not for money, but for the action and experience. We are excited to do this project together and we thank all who supported us already!
From Kino with love…
New trailer – The Passersby @ Kickstarter
We just created a brand new KICKSTARTER trailer video. We hope that it will help you to understand our project better. We have 8 days to go before the KS campaign is over and before we start to shoot on October 11th. We are flying to Montreal THIS week, we are all full of expectations, getting nervous, but we believe that all our 1 year voluntary work on this project will get sucesfully done and that we make a KICKASS short which will be the opening film of the whole BATESIAN project!!! Thanks everyone who already supported us!
Production of the interfaces and skill shots
Our design department (JUDITH MEISTER, JOHAN TALI, OSAMA) in Vienna are busy working on the final designs of the skill extractor interface which is placed behind the ear of the skill donor and they are also producing the skill inhalators which are used by the skill consumers and which is one of the rewards for our pledgers:
This is the final model of the interface (see the pictures below). The flagella stuff (the organic strings in the bottom) will be inside the skin, connecting to the body. The end of the strings will lead to a processor, which sticks on top and is visible on the skin. When skills are extracted, a capsule is placed on top. The strings, like roots, collect the skills from the brain, through the processor into the capsule. The shorter side of the triangle is 2cm (length), the height is 2 mm.
The first models for the skill inhalators are recently being designed. Inside the inhalator there will be the capsule, filled with a neon liquid (fluorescin). The inhalator has a oval form and will have patterns on the smaller part, similar to the device. The small piece with the 2 holes is the mouthpiece, through which the user inhale. The capsule is visible in the gap in the middle. When it is used, the two parts get pressed together. Then the gap is closed and the capsule is not visible anymore. The material we use for the real inhalators will be epoxy. Epoxy is similar to plexiglass, a hard plastic with a transparent structure. The epoxy can be coloured- we chose the transparent colours like blue, orange and green, so the capsule inside always stays visible. The pictures of designs are coming soon!
NEW crew members!
Hello everybody!
Once again, we thank those of you who have pledged your support! To those of you hesitating, don't wait! We promise this is a project worth your support and involvement.
We would like to introduce Valentina Oresic from Croatia (based in Montreal) as a fellow production coordinator, Conny Presich from Vienna Film Academy as 2nd AD and continuity and Tamara Scherbak from Germany (Montreal based) as editor! As you can see, we keep our crew very INTERNATIONAL! We will introduce more crew members soon!
Check out their information alongside the rest of our bios!
Coming Together….
Thank you to those of you who have pledged so far! "The Passersby" is coming together bit by bit…Our tickets are booked, the director is perfecting the script; spots on our crew list are being filled every day: composers, production managers, graphic designers — we're getting it all!
Director Joe is coming to a final casting decision, and soon we'll have a complete crew list! Look for this soon…. ;)
Our work thus far has been through the virtual world of Skype, via email, by means of Facebook and other social media. But very soon, we'll come together in Montreal! We're all excited to unite!! Everyone is rolling up their sleeves, bringing their skills together to make this an entertaining, thought-provoking, thrilling short film.
All we need now is you! With just over two weeks to go before shooting begins, we very much need your support! Pledge any bit you can to help "The Passersby" live up to its true potential. Shooting begins October 10th, 2012!! Get involved, we promise you won't regret it.
***Still on the to-do list: get our funds in order….

Hamish Macbeth is a lanky, tall, red-haired unambitious man who wants nothing more than a quiet life with his beloved dog, but being the police constableof Lochdubh, this is a pleasure that is denied to him as he investigates many peculiar and singular crimes in his beloved Scottish highlands.
Nancy Durrell was a woman famous for her silences. Anaïs Nin said 'I think often of Nancy's most eloquent silences, Nancy talking with her fingers, her hair, her cheeks, a wonderful gift. Music again.' As the first wife Lawrence Durrell, author of The Alexandria Quartet, it is perhaps surprising that she is an unknown entity, a constant presence in the biographies of Durrell and others in the Bloomsbury set, yet always a shadowy figure, beautiful and enigmatic. But who was the woman who was with Durrell during the most important years of his development as a writer? Joanna Hodgkin decides to retrace her mother's fascinating story: the escape from her toxic and mysterious family; the years in bohemian literary London and Paris in the 1930s; marriage to Durrell and their discovery of the 'Eden' of pre-war Corfu and her desperate struggle to survive in Palestine alone with a small child as the British Mandate collapsed. Amateurs in Eden is a fascinating biography of a literary marriage and of an unusual woman struggling to live an independent life.
In David Sedaris's world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of stories and essays is a rollicking tour through the American Zeitgeist: a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tried to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; and in his essays, David Sedaris considers the hazards of rewards of smoking, writing for Giantess magazine, and living with his scrappy brother Paul, aka 'The Rooster'.With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes and reads stories and essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behaviour. Barrel Fever is like a blind date with modern life - and anything can happen.
Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was the most honored American photographer of the twentieth century. Through the exhibition and publication of his work, his writings, and his leadership in the Sierra Club, Adams was also a prescient and highly effective voice in the fight to preserve America's remaining wilderness.

Daphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning, with whom she had three children.Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969 du Maurier was awarded a DBE. She lived most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books.

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. David Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames and his most recent book, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, each of which became an immediate bestseller.

On day 7 of a 56 day education tour around America. Our heart for this tour is to ENGAGE the body of Christ in what's happening on campuses nationwide, to ENCOURAGE students, faculty, and campus ministries in prayer, and to EQUIP the body of Christ with strategic and intentional ways to pray for education in America. Today we visited the University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University.
We had the honor of praying in the chapel at Duquesne University for the chaplains and ministry leaders working on campus. We joined with the cries of their hearts as we prayed for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit — and oh man! What a terrific time of prayer and worship exalting Jesus as Lord over the campus and city of Pittsburgh!
PLEASE JOIN US in praying for an outpouring of the Spirit at the University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University.
Gina Spadafora Gibson commented 2015-09-18 15:30:44 -0600Dear John, Dion and praying friends:
So excited to see that the bus tour had stops in my home state of PA! Yay, God! Pittsburgh is right in the "backyard" of where I was raised, so that area of the country holds special significance for me. Keep fighting the good fight! Praying for all of you!

Prosecutors say a Highland Park teen inhaled computer dust cleaner immediately before she allegedly drove onto a sidewalk and plowed into a family on Labor Day, killing a 5-year-old girl.
Carly Rousso, 18, has been charged with one count of reckless homicide and four counts of aggravated driving under the influence of an intoxicating compound in connection with the crash, the Lake County State's Attorney's office announced today.
She faces a maximum of 26 years in prison if convicted of all the charges, said Assistant State's Attorney Ken LaRue.
Rousso surrendered this morning in an appearance before Lake County Circuit Court Judge Raymond Collins, who set her bail at $500,000, according to the news release. She was being booked into the Lake County Jail this afternoon, jail personnel said.
Investigators believe Rousso inhaled the substance just before the crash, LaRue said.
Rousso had been charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of an intoxicating compound while authorities awaited the results of Illinois State Police Crime Laboratory toxicology tests.
The results of those tests indicate Rousso's blood sample contained the compound Difluoroethane, prosecutors said. The substance in Rousso's blood matched a cleaning product found in the vehicle she was driving, and prosecutors believe she was impaired before the crash, LaRue said.
Rousso was driving a Lexus coupe registered to her father, David Rousso, at about 2:30 p.m. Sept. 3 when she left the roadway and struck a family walking on the sidewalk in the 700 block of Central Avenue in downtown Highland Park.
Jaclyn Santos Sacramento of Highland Park died later that day at Evanston Hospital of her injuries.
Her mother, Modesta Sacramento Jimenez, 25, and her two brothers, ages 3 and 6, were treated at Highland Park Hospital for their injuries. They have since been released.
This morning, attorney Robert Baizer filed a lawsuit on behalf of the victim's family accusing Rousso of hitting the family while under the influence of the chemical and then hitting family members again as she tried to move her car.
The suit accuses Rousso of negligence, the infliction of emotional distress and wrongfully causing the girl's death.
Baizer said his clients were pleased to hear of the upgraded charges this morning. The girl's funeral service was yesterday in Highwood, and her family's grief is "beyond description," he said.
"The family went out for a walk on a beautiful Labor Day afternoon, and their lives have been changed forever," he said. "Watching the dad bend over and kiss the little baby before they closed the casket was too much for everybody at the funeral to witness."
Rousso's lawyer, Doug Zeit, said at a court hearing Tuesday morning that Rousso is taking classes at College of Lake County and is enrolled in a treatment program in Lake Bluff. A family spokesman said the Roussos had no comment on the details of the treatment program. Zeit was not immediately available for comment this afternoon.
A Rousso family spokesman also was not immediately available today.
Rousso's next court appearance is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Oct. 9, according to the news release.

Members of Congress have no choice, really. They must work within the constraints of what is politically feasible. But ordinary citizens need not, at least not always.
Attempting to free myself from such constraints, I have temporarily put aside all the big-picture proposals currently being discussed, and which I think have merit, like:
• extending health insurance to virtually all of the uninsured—by extending the reach of Medicaid; by mandating coverage, while providing subsidies to very small businesses and individuals with low-incomes; by fining individuals without insurance and employers who do not provide coverage; by taxing health-related products and industries; and by ending the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, soon set to expire
• funding comparative effectiveness research, so that research compares new procedures and drugs with each other (not just with a placebo or with one other competitor) and also with current procedures and drugs to determine which work best. It isn't always the latest thing.
I also support proposed measures to finance the reform, like
• replacing the procedures-based system that Medicaid currently uses to reimburse healthcare providers, with a care-based system—the quality vs. quantity argument. This sounds like an improvement whether it cuts costs or not.
• moving to electronic record-keeping, which would improve the efficiency of care by eliminating duplicative record-keeping and tests, and give a variety of physicians access to the same information. Safeguards for patient privacy and security would also have to be instituted, though, which could add costs unless Congress has already accounted for this in the bill. But electronic record-keeping promises benefits, even if it doesn't reduce costs by as much as some have suggested.
•setting up a public insurance plan, that is a nonprofit government-run plan, so that consumers would have it as one choice among many private plans, and it could determine what the actual costs of coverage are, what is needed when and where, and serve as competition for private companies. Right now, there are only a handful of major insurers in some areas of the U.S., which makes choice of insurer very limited. As for a cooperative mix of for-profit and non-profit plans that are not run by government, why not have that as well—only without government subsidies, since the argument against the public plan is to keep government out of private business.
Meanwhile, however, perhaps as a frustration-coping device, I have begun to wonder what I might propose if anyone asked me (unlikely). Brainstorming requires the freedom to consider even the wackiest, most implausible ideas. My contention is that if enough citizens seriously engaged in it, someone—perhaps an America reader—might come up with an idea that is both helpful for reform and feasible, and which is new and worth broadcasting. The real crux is paying for reform—something the general public seems less and less willing to do. So please offer your own wild ideas on that topic in the comment space.
Three wild ideas for financing the reform:
1. A sugar tax: Yes, this notion comes to you from a perennial sweet tooth, and it builds on a proposal that has already been considered publicly as a health-related way of paying for the reform, a tax on sugary soft drinks. Some critics of that notion asked, why us? why would soft drink makers be saddled with such a tax? Hmm, I thought. They're right. Why not extend the scope rather than throw out the idea completely. Why not levy a small tax on every product (from candy to breakfast cereals to soft drinks to wine—every food) that contains sugar above a certain percentage or that exceeds set amounts. Or it might be structured so that the more sugar an item contains, the higher the tax. Some qualified team of physicians and nutritionists, for instance, could work out reasonable, health-based standards, and legislators could fine-tune the details.
If every consumer paid something small (a penny per item, say—six cents on a pack of soft drinks or a box of chocolates), the money raised would go directly into the government's revenue stream for health care. We would get the money back in services and benefit from better, more extensive care and coverage. This little tax would earn money year after year, even as it raised public awareness of the health dangers of too much sugar and, one hopes,
The Reason: while sugar in moderate amounts is not harmful to health (any more than liquor or alcohol is), many products contain quantities of sugar that make it a prime contributor to rising diabetes and obesity, which are enormous health concerns, and increasingly so for children. Or the products are consumed in such quantities that they become a health risk. We have a liquor tax and a cigarette tax to help combat particular ill-effects, why not a sugar tax designated solely as revenue for health care?
2. A health bandwagon: The government wouldn't have to initiate this bandwagon, but it could. Or it could just augment the work of other groups and individuals. If you are old enough, think of the "President's Physical Fitness" program that John F. Kennedy sponsored in the sixties. Or of private groups like Weight Watchers, AARP, health clubs, product sponsors and advertisers, as well as church and civic groups—all of which could promote in a new way, with a national focus on health, "healthy habits" like a health eating and exercise. A new bandwagon is an idea anyone or any group could run with, promoting creative ways of involving parents, children, teachers, seniors, and all other Americans. And it could involve millions, inspired to get on the bandwagon.
Since childhood obesity is on the rise and can turn into diabetes and a lifetime of illness, it should be one of the first issues addressed. Something for Michele Obama to stand behind? Or some child stars?
The trick would be to keep such a campaign positive, lest public sentiment turn negative against the overweight, the ill, or the old. The idea would be for each American to "do something more," to take personal responsibility for prevention of disease and to improve their health—whatever it is. Those who are ill or suffer a chronic condition would merit society's applause, and improved health, by doing all they can to lessen the ill effects.
The Reason: This program would focus on societal good. Getting in better shape would be seen as a patriotic act, not merely as good for each individual. The population would be respectfully invited and encouraged to do its part to improve the nation's overall health and fitness, getting ourselves "in better shape." That would be a boon if it could motivate citizens to take responsibility for constructing the society we want to live in. The long-term rewards: generations of healthier Americans more active in constructive government.
3. Add a line to the federal IRS form—a little box taxpayers could check so that $1 from one's tax refund goes to health care. I'm not kidding. I realize that there are zillions of important and worthwhile causes that taxpayers could support and that dozens of charities are facing hard times in this distressed economy. But health care is a national priority that begs for universal support. I even realize that opponents of the reform are balking at the costs, to the point of denying the need for reform, despite all the evidence that shows it is imperative. Putting a "gift" option on the form would raise some money, without costing much of anything. It would also extend our role as stakeholders, perhaps the more important reason for doing it.
All the above are merely asking for a bigger nanny government. Tobacco tax, gas tax and social security tax go to the general operating fund. Stars and celebrities are the worst source of advise for Americans. Personal responsibility comes from doing not receiving. Where does HR 3200 mention tort reform (a huge source of savings)? Answer. Attorneys are in bed with politicians and most politicians are attorneys.
Sugar is already taxed, it is subject to import tariffs. Additionally, what food has straight sugar in it. I'm looking at a bottle of soda, there's no sugar listed. My diet soda doesn't have sugar in it either. Please go to junkfoodscience.blogspot.com before you start blamin the overweight and the ill for burdening our health systems. Research, not andecdotal evidence, shows those health bandwagon programs you advocate don't work over the long term and most times don't work over the short term.
Why not accentuate the positive and make fresh foods like fruits and vegetables cheaper and opportunities for kids to play safely in their communities top prioirities? We could, since we're brainstorming, (1) make certain that farmers have incentives to produce foods for local consumption, and especially in public schools(2) assure that those on food assistance get lower prices for purchasing fresh foods, (3) bring back PE and the President's Fitness Challenge, (4) zone for safe places for play and exercise in communities "lazy-free zones?"and (5) encourage parents to play or teach kids simple games that we used to play outdoors to keep us active: hide and seek, hopscotch, double dutch and remember kick the can? All of this sounds a lot easier than getting into tricky political waters. Dwayne
Like the Iraq war, the government is going to be spending large amounts of money to solve problems. In the Gulf war, Halliburton and othr compaines stole billions through over charging, "make work" eforts, out rigth theft etc.
Unlike the Iraq war, this governmental effort can last indefinetly and will be spending and distributing far more recesources. This gives a huge potential for "Health Care Haliburtons".
I've paid high prices for organic foods for decades; I've used supplements and herbs and a healthy diet and am one of the few people I know over 30 who takes no medication. Thanks to the internet, news (uncensored by news media philosophies and advertisers' interests) is getting into most American households about alternative medicine.
The USDA is directly responsible for a lot of the obesity today because of that obscene 'health pyramid' it published in the 90s. I heard about and thought, 'Oh, good-they're finally taking diet seriously.' Then I read it and was appalled: it promoted as healthy a diet mainly based on white flour, known as 'stomach glue' in natural medicine circles. They could not have done a better job at screwing up people's health, and with a fair amount of paranoia I actually wondered if it was a doctor-concerted effort to drum up more business.
So please, PLEASE do not suggest putting some industry-connected government bureaucracy in charge of health advice. The AMA lobbies for MD's having a monopoly in the healing industry, but in the 80's the chiropractors won a ten-year lawsuit against them for antitrust activities.
Acupuncture used to be illegal, but now is available. We are finally getting choices because Americans have received subpar, costly help from their MDs and have pushed for the right to have choices in health care. Now after secret negotiations, the AMA and Pharma are backing Congress's 'health care reform' but the alternatives that many Americans want were excluded from the table.
To me it would be best to leave this broken system alone because finally change is happening on its own. I see this marriage of politicians and medical heavyweights as a concerted effort to prevent this healthy evolution from taking place.
This comment is in response to Tina Fanetti, who accused me of "blamin the overweight and the ill for burdening our health systems," which I did not do. In fact, I argued quite the opposite-saying that any bandwagon campaign should not turn negative. No author likes for her words to be twisted to say the precise opposite of a point they are making.
Nor would I recommend the blog she suggested. I spent a few minutes trying to find the article she referred to and on the way read some of the blog entries. The underlying attitude there would appeal mainly to those who distrust the government completely, which is not something with which I agree. Like most people, for example, I think Medicare, Medicaid, and the Veteran's Administration health systems-all sponsored by the federal government-have helped millions. Nor did I find the Web site a source of trustworthy scientific information as she asserts. I wouldn't go there again. But readers with lots of time on their hands to test such things can discern its value for themselves.
That's a bit like asking what alcoholic cocktail has straight alcohol in it. If you can't see the damage that sugar overload has done, then you are just in denial or on the sugar payroll. And I suspect that blog you mention, probably is funded by either the sugar or junk food industries. The problem with blogs like that is that anyone can write one without even revealing who they are.
You also don't mention the sugar connection with child and slave labor, [url=http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/big-sugar/]http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/big-sugar/[/url]
Please share the name of the soda that has no sugar or sugar substitute in it? And enjoy your diet soda, while there may be conflicting science as to the dangers of aspartame, I don't want to leave my child with a chemically unbalanced mother or an obese one because I didn't care about what I was putting into my body.

For everyone, the Quest is different. For some it's finishing a marathon. For others it's running a 3-hour marathon. Or climbing Mt. Everest. Or making it to the top of Cowles Mountain.
For some it's ongoing. For others there's a definite point of success (or failure).
For The Collector, the long-awaited ending of a dozen-year Quest came a few months ago, making 2003 a year he'll remember with a feeling of relief as well as accomplishment.
The Quest, in this case, was a poster issued by Street & Smith's Baseball magazine in 1990 to commemorate its 50th anniversary. The poster includes covers – mostly closeups of star players – from each year of publication, starting with Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller in 1941.
The Collector (who asks to remain anonymous) started innocently enough. With no plans to get every possible autograph on the poster, he managed to catch up with dozens of the players for signatures in the first year, when major autograph shows were plentiful in Southern California, especially in Orange County.
The National Collectors Show was held in Anaheim, where the likes of Sandy Koufax and Hank Aaron were obtained after standing in Disneyland-like lines. Ted Williams appeared at a big show in Sacramento. Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Stan Musial all appeared in Orange County. A major show in Pasadena provided Joe Morgan, Lou Brock and others. Eddie Mathews signed at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. A show in Las Vegas featuring 300-game winners included Warren Spahn and Steve Carlton.
It also helped to have the All-Star Fan Fest in San Diego in 1992. Free autographs were offered throughout the week (for those willing to stand in line). Denny McLain, of all people, was available. (Out on parole for good behavior?)
And so it went. By then, the Quest was pretty well under way: Get every photo signed that could be signed. Several were already out of range: Roberto Clemente died in 1972, Joe McCarthy (Yankees manager in the 1930s) is long gone, Leo Durocher died before the Collector could catch up with him, and Roger Maris and Ken Boyer died before the poster was issued.
But by 1993, with about a dozen autographs still needed, the Quest had gone from steamroller to crawl, much like for Arthur's knights in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (only without the Killer Rabbit or Holy Hand Grenade).
With the Internet gaining popularity as a collecting tool, signing shows began to dwindle in the L.A./Orange County/San Diego region, and players' availability in general became more precious. It took a drive to the L.A. Convention Center to get Tom Seaver. Juan Marichal was a no-show at several Orange County shows over several years.
Nolan Ryan, making his last appearance as an active player in Anaheim in 1993, was obtained luckily when the Collector managed to latch on to a couple of friends of Ryan, who took them into the dugout and signed dozens of items for them. The Collector finally stuck his poster in Ryan's face and got the signature as security guards lingered threateningly.
Another trip to Anaheim netted former Oriole Mike Flanagan, then the team's announcer (now its GM), and Jesse Orosco.
Former National League MVP Dick Groat was tracked down at the golf course he owns near Pittsburgh, and he agreed to sign the poster that was FedExed. He got to keep the Sharpie pen.
Finally, it was down to four. The annual Celebrity Golf Classic at Morgan's Run in Rancho Santa Fe made it possible to get Gary Carter and Mike Schmidt.
Marichal, that most elusive of signers, finally appeared at a show in Los Angeles and was dutifully impressed. As he unrolled the poster, he looked at the signatures and noted, "Wow, it's almost finished."
How true. The last one left was former Yankee pitcher Ron Guidry. He was known as Louisiana Lightning and proved as slippery. A call to the Yankees netted his agent's name in Louisiana. "Here's a number for Ron," the agent told the Collector. "Call and leave a message. Ron will get back to you."
The Collector called the number and left a message. Guidry never returned it. A year later, another call to the Yankees. This time, the Collector was told, Guidry had told the Yankees he did not want to be contacted.
The Collector began to despair. Would his poster always come up one short, a la the Cubs?
Then, earlier this year, the light broke through. Guidry was scheduled to do a show in the New York area, and he was doing a private signing for the promoter as well. The promoter was one of the country's more trustworthy, so the Collector, despite great misgivings, mailed the poster, gave the promoter a credit card number, and put his trust in the baseball gods.
A couple weeks later, lo and behold, there it was on his San Diego doorstep. The poster, complete with Ron Guidry's autograph.
Overall, the poster has 26 Hall of Famers' autographs, from the ones listed above to more regional favorites like Lou Boudreau and Luis Aparicio. Then there are several MVP winners like Groat, Steve Garvey, Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly; Cy Young winners Guidry, Flanagan, McLain, Dwight Gooden (signed "Doc") and Orel Hershiser; World Series heroes Don Larsen (obtained at his alma mater, Point Loma High), Lou Burdette and Alan Trammell; and the one true curiosity, onetime rookie sensation Mark (The Bird) Fidrych.
The Collector had the poster framed recently. "I've probably been framing sports memorabilia for 20 years, and this is the best one I've seen," the framer said.
It now hangs in a small vestibule off the Collector's bedroom, sort of one fan's private Hall of Fame.
Hope the year 2003 was kind to you in some way, and that 2004 will provide the satisfaction or accomplishment of a Quest completed.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
Two kinds of new configurations of lensed fibers as the coupling between laser diodes and single-mode fibers have been proposed and their operations are experimentally confirmed. The reserch has succesfully finished. Main results obtained are as follows :1.Long working distance and wide tolerancesWe have proposed a lensed fiber that consists of a hemispherically-ended coreless-fiber and a quarter-pitch length of a graded-index fiber. Fabrication is quite simple and rapid. Basic characteristics of the new comfiguration, including long working distances (140mum) and wide lateral tolerances (+/- 1.2mum), are experimentally verified. The new configuration is suitable for integration-oriented coupling between arrayd laser diodes and an array of single-mode fibers.2.A high coupling efficiencyA new configuration of lensed fiber that consists of cascaded two kinds of GI-fiber tips has been proposed. Basic characteristics, a low loss (2.0dB) and wide tolerance with a long working distance (50mum), have experimentally verified.3.Other technical resultsA new tool for cutting optical fibers with precision of 10 mum, a hemisherical-ending technique with a high precision by use of an arc-discharge, and a precise loss-estimation method based on the ray optics are newly developped in the research.

Welcome to the Globe and Mail Personal Finance Reader. I'm Rob Carrick, personal finance columnist at The Globe, and twice weekly I compile a list of articles, blog postings, videos and websites that represent the best of what the online world has to offer on money-related subjects.
It's a big part of a personal finance columnist's job to make people aware of costs and fees that eat into their investment returns and savings. Mutual funds are a favourite topic in this area. Fees are high, and the level of investor savvy about the cost of funds is low. That, of course, is why we have high fees in the first place.
This brings us to a cool tool for assessing how much you're paying to own mutual funds. It was created by the Investor Education Fund, a non-profit group funded through penalties levied by the Ontario Securities Commission, and it's just undergone a tune-up that makes it super easy to use. If you own funds and aren't sure of the costs, find an account statement and give this calculator a workout.
If you're up for more on investing, check out the commentary below on real-return bonds, and some stock picks from star managers. You can also get to know the economist known as Dr. Doom, find out about an intriguing new travel rewards credit card and check out the 50 worst inventions ever.

The Beginning of Men's Radical Ministry
Luke 10:1-24 ESV
13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16 "The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 The seventy- two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!" 18 And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
We are continuing our short series on the theme "Radical". As mentioned last week, the idea came from some reflections on the book Radical, but this is by no means a repetition of that book.
We are using the word radical in this way: Jesus came to bring people to a fundamental and extreme change in our relationship with God and our way of life before God. Last week we saw that true Christianity is based on the Radical Redeemer. And those who follow Christ Jesus get involved in his radical way of life. Today we want to look at a group of women who became radical in their relationship with God and in their way of life.
Today we continue a short series of messages on the theme "Radical". The idea came from some reflections on the book Radical, but this series is by no means a repetition of that book. We are using the word radical in this way: Jesus came to bring people to a fundamental and extreme change in our relationship with God and our way of life before God. Here is a list of the subjects we have looked at from Luke's Gospel to this point:
True Christianity is based on the Radical Redeemer – everything depends on Christ and the gospel
Women can be radical followers of Christ
Christ calls all his followers to radical faith
Following Christ's example, we should use meals in radical ways
To fulfill our mission, we need radical love
Men also can and ought to be radical followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. In our text, we read of the Lord Christ's calling and commissioning of a group of seventy-two men to serve him. This was a group separate from the apostles, yet also chosen by Jesus to participate in his mission. We are not told anything about the talents and skills of these men. What matters is that they came under the authority of Christ and were sent by him.
I. The authority that creates their mission (10:1-4)
A. Their place in the mission was appointed by Christ.
1. Jesus sent them and appointed them. They were not volunteers, regardless of how willing and happy they may have been. They were picked out and commissioned by the Lord. This gives them confidence for the mission: "The Lord wants me on his team doing this work."
2. Jesus sent each man out with another man. The Lord put them on the unit or squad that he wanted them. This means that a man's missional partner was also with him by the Lord's choice. Jesus knows who will work together for mutual and maximum benefit.
3. Jesus sent them out in relation to his mission: "and place where he was about to go". There was much work yet to be done in his earthly ministry, and so he sent them ahead as advance teams to prepare for his coming. This job required boldness, vision, and creativity.
B. An attitude of dependency was initiated by Christ. All that the Lord tells them is intended to create humility in these men. For example, most men don't like being referred to as "lambs" while other men are called "wolves". How many sports teams are called "the Lambs" and wear uniforms that convey the picture of softness? What convinces a man to depend on another is his plain, superiority. When you certainly know that Jesus is Lord of all, you can be convinced to depend on him.
1. An attitude of spiritual dependence for their mission – Jesus teaches them the need to pray, as they see the need while involved in their mission. Ask the Lord of the harvest for more laborers. Don't shrink before the difficulties; pray!
2. An attitude of physical dependence during their mission – Jesus puts them in a dangerous position where they will have to trust him for protection. They will also depend on his plan for sustenance, since he denies them the use of means that could otherwise be used. They can't take along extra provisions or scheme to get them.
Apply: Men, in our current situation, we must rely on the Lord. We need both more workers and more financial provision to carry on the work that the Lord Jesus has given us to do. Prayer is an activity in which men must become leaders. Jesus has put us here to prepare the way for his coming in grace and glory. The Lord is bringing the people groups of the world to our area for us to reach them. We are going to have to depend upon him to do this. It's time for us men to get off our backsides and on to our knees and our feet to move forward.
Transition: So then, there is the authority that creates their mission, now let us think about…
II. The message of their mission (10:5-16)
A. A message of peace (10:5-8)
1. "Peace" in a biblical viewpoint means more than the absence of war; it means the fullness of blessing. They were to be Christ's agents in spreading his blessing of peace to all. They were not to get involved in "pre-qualifying" people for God's blessing. They were to proclaim it to all. Don't try to prejudge who you think will respond. The Lord picks out those who are most unlikely. Don't seek those whom you think will make the best contributors. The Lord calls the foolish, the weak, the lowly, and the despised for his purposes (cf. 1 Cor 1:26-29).
2. Christ's messengers must act in a way consistent with proclaiming peace; that is, they must rely on God for their provision in that place where they proclaim "peace". You cannot show that God is able to bring fullness of blessing unless you are demonstrating that you are living on his blessing. On the one hand, they must not think that they are somehow the objects of an undeserved charity. By proclaiming peace they are earning their wages. On the other hand, they must not be on a search for proverbial greener pastures. They must show contentment with what the Lord has provided for them. So they must eat what their hosts give them.
B. A message of God's kingdom (10:9-11) – Remember that "kingdom" means God's reign or ruling power acting in the human situation.
1. They are to announce God's reign by performing the miraculous sign of healing. This would demonstrate that God was showing his authority over the human condition, in this case, weakness and illness. But they must also teach the significance of the healings. Here again we see the connection of redemptive event and redemptive message. Both would combine to testify to God's authority.
2. If the people of a town do not receive them, they are simply to repeat the message of God's reign. This shows confidence in the Lord's authority. Regardless of the response of others, they know that God reigns.
C. A message of judgment (10:12-15)
1. People are responsible for their actions, like the people of Sodom were. Those in Sodom did not receive a message about God and his grace; judgment just came on them for their sinful behavior. But people are also responsible for how they respond to God's word. Refusal to repent and believe the word about God's reign would put those who refused into a more desperate condition than the people of Sodom.
2. The Lord reinforces this point to the men he is sending out by pronouncing judgment on the cities that had witnessed his miraculous signs. Jesus links their ministry with his. This is certainly encouraging. Jesus does not leave his followers out alone there somewhere, like David and Joab did to Uriah the Hittite. No, he will ultimately vindicate men who follow him. If you have faith in the final display of his glory, this means a lot.
D. A message of Christ's final authority (10:16)
1. Since they were being sent by Christ, they would be ministering with his authority. To reject Christ's ministers is to reject the Lord. This probably doesn't sit well in our anti-authority age, but it is true anyway. True Christianity never makes progress if we soft petal its radical message.
2. Christ reminds them that he speaks with God's final authority. To reject Christ is to reject God. He is the exclusive way to the Father (Jn 14:6; Ac 4:12).
Apply: What is your relationship to Christ? Are you in submission to his final authority?
Transition: We have considered the authority that creates their mission, and the message of their mission; now let us think about…
III. The results of their mission (10:17-24)
A. They had success (10:17)
1. They saw the Lord work through them in remarkable ways. Christ had talked about healing people, but they found that he also gave them authority over evil spirits. Those who trust and follow Jesus the Lord finds that he does much more than they expect.
2. But they needed to keep their thoughts on what was more important—their salvation. Seeing God act now is good, but being with God forever is better.
B. They needed instruction (10:18-24) – To do well never means that you have learned all that you need to know. Success is an opportunity to evaluate, to listen, and to grow. A winning sports team continues to learn from its coaches. If it thinks it knows it all, it is set up for dismal failure.
1. About their reason for joy (10:18-20) – They were excited about their success in their mission. Jesus wanted them to be glad about the grace of God that saved them. Note well the preeminence of saving grace over other matters. There is a serious problem when professing believers act bored about salvation. "Oh yeah, we've heard all this before," is a sentiment that betrays a defective spirituality.
2. About God's sovereign grace (10:21-22) – We all need a perpetual reminder about the source of success. It is not in our efforts, but lies fully in the power of God who alone can change hearts.
3. About their place in redemptive history (10:23-24) – To be in that place at that time was a special blessing. Everything before was insignificant to being in the presence of Jesus, who is the Lord of history. The Jews loved to glory in Abraham, Jacob, and David. But Christ is better, and we live in him in his better age!
Apply: Men, we need to apply ourselves to learning well the truths of God and his saving grace. Every follower of Christ should love theology. Are you studying it?
Apply: You can't have a hunger for the truth about God unless you first know God through the Lord Jesus Christ, who died and was raised to life. Have you committed yourself to him?

I know there's a lot of family drama on here sometimes, so I wanted to chime in about my awesome Mother-In-Law, and encourage other Bees to do the same!
My Mother-In-Law is great. She lives about an hour and a half away, but she still came to the shower my aunts threw for me on Sunday. It meant taking a day off of work, and coming all the way out here, even though she doesn't really know my side of the family very well. She did all of that, which is really amazing. I was so happy to see her just in general, because she's great, but especially because I know it wasn't super-easy for her to make it happen. <3
Ok, who's next? Tell me why your Mother-In-Law is awesome!
