TORONTO, Jan. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - Unifor welcomes an announcement from the federal and provincial governments to convert loans to the auto industry to grants.
"It is good to see Ottawa and the province recognizing the importance of the auto industry to provide much-needed good jobs and investment in our communities," said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. "All levels of government must work together to show leadership and support for the auto industry."
At a joint press conference this afternoon, Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains and Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid today announced support for the Ontario auto industry in the form of grants rather than repayable loans, as had been the policy previously. Unifor has long called for grants instead of repayable loans.
Noting that Unifor secured a total of $1.5 billion in investment in Canada during its 2016 collective bargaining with the Detroit Three automakers (Fiat Chrysler, Ford and GM), Dias applauded the move to grants as a way to help ensure further investments.
Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing more than 310,000 workers, including more than 40,000 in the auto industry, 23,000 employed by the Detroit Three. It was formed Labour Day weekend 2013 when the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union merged.

I want to morph a picture of a camera in after effects so that it moves up very quickly turning into a black ball that rotates towards the left in a circular motion and morphs into another picture. How do I go about doing this. Both pictures are PNGs. This is my camera that I want to morph into the black ball
There are some 3rd party plug-in's like Reflex that may help. With a transition this extreme I'd probably use AE's distortion tools and create a transition. Maybe spin the camera, distort it, transition to a spinning distorted ball and then remove the distortion.
If the images were vector graphics created in Illustrator you could use blend tools to create a morph. If you have the skills to turn your images into illustrator files then this might be an option. Let us know and I can post a link to a tutorial I did a zillioin years ago using this technique.
Thanks I'll look into this and the link would be helpful thanks
Ok, here's the link:
Made that tutorial 13 years ago, but the process still works just fine.

Many Internet marketers without much experience need a video marketing for newbies course to teach them about one of the best sources of online income. It might even help some with a lot of experience.
Here are a few guidelines for learning about video marketing.
First, learn from someone who has been where you are and made it to where you want to be.
You want to be taught by someone who started using videos to market products without much know-how and went on to great success.
Second, learn a system with demonstrated success.
You want a step-by-step process in video marketing for newbies. You don't want complicated, roundabout strategies or tactics that are so complex that nobody can duplicate them.
Third, learn techniques that will help you connect with viewers of your videos.
You want to know more than just the technical aspects of marketing with videos. You need to quickly become a friend to people and a trusted expert in your niche.
Knowing all this will add valuable tools to your Internet Marketing toolbox. It might even help you as much as search engine optimization tutorials or a social media strategy template.
I got some excellent info about all this in a recent training. As a total newbie, Russ Ruffino was able to bring in more than $76,000 in FOUR short months. He used simple 10-minute videos that anybody can create.
During the free training, Russ demonstrated principles that can be used in any online business to make big conversions. And he showed us how to make visitors hang on every word we say. I learned more about video marketing in 60 minutes than I knew from my previous 13 months of Internet marketing experience.
You can watch the training here.
If you want to learn about the fastest growing segment online, this is video marketing for newbies to the nth degree. This information will keep you on the cutting edge of affiliate marketing.

AppDictions App Review
With Doodle Tales, we got a soon-to-be hot off the presses, story making app destined to make children and parents smile. Doodle Tales is brought to us from europress and renowned developer Extra Mile Studios.
Doodle Tales takes your standard drawing app a step further and allows you to combine illustrations with voice recording to form a fully function story, or "tale." Utilizing standard drawing tools such as brushes of assorted textures and patterns and stamps (similar items in other apps are referred to as stickers) Pre-installed is a few cute stamps, with many others available through future updates or immediately via in-app purchase. What differentiates Doodle Tales from other story making app wannabee's are advanced features such a voice recording for narration along with some advanced drawing and designing tools like the zoom feature.
There are more than adequate tools to develop a sound story. The controls are plenty, though are fairly intuitive. If any of this is confusing, you may view the video tutorials which are available through YouTube. Fortunately helpful reminders abound in this app, making sure users stay on course.
It may also benefit the user to create a profile. Creating a profile is a breeze and this allows you to share your Doodle Tales creation with the app's community. We have always been a fan of any developer who recognizes the power of the user, one who fosters a community based around a creative application. Along with the app community, email and Facebook are other methods of sharing and collaborating.
The only hiccups experienced occurred when trying to play some of the communities' tales. There was a pronounced lag, though this may be adjusted prior to complete launch.
Available soon, Doodle Tales will launch free of charge. Designed with children in mind, adults can appreciate and utilize Doodle Tales as well. This app is well packaged, well polished, and will be a welcome additions to children's iDevices.

Almost every coach likes to tighten their rotations as the season wears on. Eight or nine guys seems to be a good fit, with occasional forays into seven. But there are teams which make due with less. This typically isn't a choice though, it's just that those teams don't have any depth.
Where would NC State be if CJ Leslie had opted to turn pro? They've been running a six-man rotation for most of the year, and Leslie is one of five who play more that 73% of the team's minutes. TJ Warren, the 6th man, plays over 63% of the minutes.
In total, 19.8% of the minutes come from the bench (336th nationally), and that includes Warren who plays as many minutes as a typical starter.
This could all work out fine for the Wolfpack. Maybe they'll stay out of foul trouble (last night vs. Wake Forest not included). Maybe – unlike Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, and Miami – they'll survive the season without suffering an injury to a major player. Though an injury or foul trouble come March could doom them.
Here are the minutes played by players outside the Wolfpack's big-six. The red line is the minutes for each of their 19 games, and the black line is the running average for the season.
It's clear that NC State has a serious depth issue. What is unclear is how badly it is going to come back to haunt an otherwise exceptionally talented team.

Hamilton joins exclusive club to slash Rosberg lead
Water strider, crowd surfer, history maker. Lewis Hamilton, the undisputed king of Silverstone, was more rock star than racing driver as he soaked up the adulation after another sublime drive on home soil.
Nigel Mansell greeted him just after the podium ceremony - and some rather less conventional celebrations took place - to toast Hamilton's third victory in a row here, his record-equalling fourth in total.
That is the sort of exalted company in which the reigning champion sits and is quickly moving beyond. Jim Clark, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart; these are all legendary names whose records Hamilton is rewriting at speed.
The closest he came to grief amid the typically British weather, other than nearly dropping the trophy he prizes so much, was hitting another Mercedes not driven by Rosberg: the safety car.
After that and one small wobble at Abbey, the most precarious manoeuvre he executed all afternoon was vaulting the barrier before launching himself into the crowd.
Sadly those below, some of the 139,000 who braved the early rain, did not quite match Hamilton's poise, shuffling him about briefly before he returned to the tell the world what it all meant.
"I don't know if you can be as happy as me," the three-time champion said after his 47th career victory.
"It's a very humbling experience. This is beyond my wildest dreams, honestly. It's very surreal to think that I'm here. I just saw Nigel in the corridor, and he said, 'welcome to the club'. It's that special. I'm incredibly proud."
For Rosberg, it was a day to forget as second place went to third after the stewards gave him a 10-second time penalty for breaking the sport's stringent radio rules when the engineers helped him solve a gearbox problem a few laps from the end.
His championship lead has all but evaporated, from 43 points five races ago to just one solitary point.
All the talk in the preamble had been of whether the Mercedes duo would crash again, after three collisions in five races. But Rosberg got nowhere near his team-mate, in qualifying trim, wet and dry.
The pair did not exchange a single word as they waited to receive the applause and spray champagne.
Unfortunately the safety car had a far bigger role in proceedings than many felt it should. Just 20 minutes before the start, the heavens opened. But as quickly as the rain fell, it soon abated. It left a soaked track with glorious sunshine above.
The call to start the race under the safety car came. Groan. Surely the best drivers in the world could manage? Hamilton was among those who thought so.
Most frustrating of all, it deprived us of what promised to be a chaotic start, slithering off the line on full wet tyres. Instead the safety car trundled around for five laps until they released Hamilton and the rest.

The Middle Kingdom (mid-Dynasty 11–Dynasty 14, ca. 2030–1650 B.C.) began when Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II reunited Upper and Lower Egypt, setting the stage for a second great flowering of Egyptian culture. Thebes came into prominence for the first time, serving as capital and artistic center during Dynasty 11. The outstanding monument of this dynasty was Mentuhotep's mortuary complex, loosely modeled on the funerary monuments of his Theban ancestors. Built on a grand scale against the spectacular sheer cliffs of western Thebes, Mentuhotep's complex centered on a terraced temple with pillared porticoes. The masterful design, representing a perfect union of architecture and landscape unique for its time, included painted reliefs of ceremonial scenes and hieroglyphic texts. Carved in a distinctive Theban style also seen in the tombs of Mentuhotep's officials, these now-fragmentary reliefs are among the finest ever produced in Egypt.
At the end of Dynasty 11, the throne passed to a new family with the accession of Amenemhat I, who moved the capital north to Itjtawi, near modern Lisht. Strongly influenced by the statuary and reliefs from nearby Old Kingdom monuments in the Memphite region, the artists of Dynasty 12 created a new aesthetic style. The distinctive works of this period are a series of royal statues that reflect a subtle change in the Egyptian concept of kingship.

On June 1-2, the American Conference Institute (ACI) held its 6th Annual Summit on Biosimilars to its largest crowd ever, over 150 participants. New this year was considerable discussion about the first approved biosimilar, Sandoz's Zarxio® (figrastim-sndz), which is a highly similar (not interchangeable) biosimilar, as well as several biosimilar lawsuits hung up on procedural issues regarding the so-called "patent dance." The patent dance is the statutory mechanism under the Biosimilars Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) by which biosimilar and the reference biological product manufacturers may share information leading to an exchange of patents that may be litigated prior to and after product launch. Co-chair Seth Field, Ph.D., Lead IP Counsel, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. summed it well when he said that the biosimilar lawsuits were "the intersection where all the accidents happen." Another co-chair, Don Ware, Partner and Chair, Intellectual Property Department, Foley Hoag LLP, noted that we have not even got to the issues that were debated in the beginning, i.e., "Would the patents protect the innovator's biological products from biological competition?"
After a discussion on the finalized biosimilar guidances and FDA's standards for biosimilarity and the potential for interchangeability, the topic turned to state biosimilar substitution laws and naming. McGuireWoods' Brian Malkin moderated a panel that included relatively new consensus language developed since last year for biosimilar substitution of interchangeable biosimilars that has been agreed upon by the following trade organizations: Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), and the Generic Pharmaceutical Association (GPhA). While naming still remains a contentious issue, the issues from last year regarding substitution appear to be resolved by limiting substitution to interchangeable biosimilars, permitting "dispense as written" to permit physicians to require innovator biological products rather than interchangeable biosimilar versions, and requiring certain notifications after dispensing interchangeable biological products to physicians via electronic health record or other means for physicians to be aware that substitution occurred.
Day one then wrapped up with a discussion of biosimilars around the world and a judges' spotlight on lessons from the Hatch-Waxman experience for biosimilars litigation. From the world view, there has been varying update of biosimilars, where Ali Ahmed, Chief Intellectual Property Counsel, Fresenius Kabi US, LLC, noted that from his review of the global biosimilars environment, bridging studies will be increasingly critical, despite different regulatory regimes for market approval. Regarding inter partes review (IPR) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Honorable Roy S. Payne, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas noted that the affiliated district litigation will not necessarily be stayed because an IPR is filed. The Honorable Lora M. Green, Administrative Patent Judge, PTAB suggested that attorneys call the PTAB if there is a question particularly regarding a deposition rather than to conduct the deposition and have a problem later that cannot be fixed. Both judges suggested, among other things, that advocates focus their arguments on several key issues well rather than tackling too many issues at once.
The second day focused on patent litigation strategies. Ware noted that the patent exchange process does not appear to be working because at this point, many product 12-year biological product exclusivities have run and FDA's approval time is perceived as shorter than the patent exchange process leading up to litigation. Once biosimilar applicants are filing at year 4 following approval of an innovator and there is 8 years of exclusivity left, Ware speculated, the patent exchange process may make more sense, but it is still unclear how much, if any, of the patent dance is mandatory or will be followed. Others, like Nicholas Boivin, Head of Intellectual Property, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, speculated that if the Federal Circuit decides that the patent dance is voluntary, the BPCIA may be opened up for a fix by amendment, perhaps modifying the exclusivity periods as well, which continue to be debated.
A pricing discussion started off by Joseph Fuhr Jr., Ph.D., Professor Economics, Widener University, where he noted that the predictions are that there will be about 5-6 entrants per large biological product market, with U.S. market uptake expected to be higher than in Europe. Each biosimilar will likely have its own payment code, but it is also possible that some biosimilars may have the same code. Once biosimilars enter a market, the innovator may also lower its price to compete. After all, the BPCIA was passed to help reduce the cost of biological products, leading in theory to greater access and lower government cost for reimbursement.
Aside from IPR reviews, some panels discussed other potential tactics such as filing certain patent challenges in the International Trade Commission, where the process is swift, but the remedy may only be an injunction to prevent entry of infringing products. The conference concluded with presentations on obtaining adequate patent protection looking at key cases, circling back to Ware's initial comment.

Partnering Together in Service/
Each year Cornerstone students are partnered together for service; each elementary grade is partnered with a secondary grade. These partner groups meet together at least twice a year; some groups choose to meet more frequently. We recently took some time during the morning for groups to meet together. Several groups participated in service projects while a few groups took some time to get to know each other. Check out these photos of their time together!

German tribute to car pioneer
IN the home of the autobahn, there's an appreciation of men with a need for speed.
After RAF flier Gerald Keston Pelmore died in the remains of his Wellington bomber on German farmland in 1941 he was not forgotten.
Before his death aged 30 Pelmore had founded the Bentley Drivers Club.
And yesterday German drivers who share his fondness for the marque drove from the crash site to Pelmore's burial place in a tribute to the man sent to bomb Dusseldorf.
Also taking part was his niece Bronwen Hickmott, of Exeter, Devon, who said: "This seems to bring everything full circle. Gerald hated bombing his beloved Germany."
His family came to England from Germany and as a child his surname was changed from Pfleiderer to sidestep the anti-German sentiment of the First World War.
He joined the family firm of food machinery makers but was distracted by photography and a passion for Bentley cars.
Bentley cars are still made in Crewe.
In 1935 Pelmore bought the 4½ litre open four-seater which he took on tours of France, Switzerland and Germany. When he realised there was no car club for owners he formed one, posting cards on Bentleys parked at Brooklands race track in Surrey inviting owners to a meeting in 1936.
Yesterday's event, which included some British drivers, began at the field where Pelmore died and ended at Rheinberg, some 45 miles away, where he is buried among more than 3,150 Allied servicemen.
He flew more than a dozen sorties for 101 Squadron from RAF Oakington, Cambs, before being shot down. Bentley cars, now owned by Volkswagen, are still made in Crewe.

Press Release: Governments across the world must wake up to the cost of longevity argues UK think tank
Governments must do more to reduce the long term cost of ageing to the public purse argues a new policy report from the International Longevity Centre – UK (ILC-UK).
"The cost of our ageing society", sponsored by Milliman, highlights the projected financial impact of the cost of the world's ageing population.
In the report, ILC-UK calls on governments across the world to consider linking eligibility ages of state pension to life expectancy and do more to ensure that the labour market is accessible to older people.
ILC-UK also argues that governments need to ensure pension systems are sustainable, allow for greater risk-sharing, and are less vulnerable to longevity risk. It also urges Governments across the world to consider how to create better conditions for health care innovation and development.
ILC-UK believes that governments need to prepare for uncertainty noting that "Policy makers today are being asked to prepare for a future about which there is a serious degree of uncertainty and therefore sustainable policies will be the ones which can adapt to unexpected changes." It argues therefore that addressing the needs of ageing populations will require ongoing investment in research and data collection.
ILC-UK argues, however, that policy interventions must recognise the contribution that older people make to society and the economy. ILC-UK also points out that individual countries will need to ensure there are safety nets for those who cannot work longer.
"The cost of our ageing society" draws heavily on the European Commission's 2012 Ageing Report (1) and the Office for Budget Responsibility's Fiscal Sustainability Report, July 2012 (2)". ILC-UK summarises the latest projections on longevity and the cost of ageing across the world.
- In the UK: age-related spending is projected to rise from an annual cost of 21.3% to 26.3% of GDP between 2016/17 and 2061/62, a rise of 5% of GDP (3) (equivalent to a rise of around £79bn in today's money).(4)
- In the EU: age-related spending is projected to rise from an annual cost of 25% to 29.1% of GDP between 2010 and 2060, a rise of 4.1% of GDP.(5) However, a scenario which assumes greater resources devoted to development within health care projects that age-related spending in the EU could rise to as much as 29.8% of GDP, annually, by 2060. (1)
In the UK:
- spending on public pensions (state pension, benefits and public service pensions) is projected to rise from an annual cost of 8.9% to 10.8% of GDP between 2016/17 and 2061/62, a rise of 1.9% of GDP (6) (equivalent to a rise of around £33bn in today's money).
- spending on health care is projected to see the largest rise of all elements of age-related spending, rising from an annual cost of 6.8% to 9.1% of GDP between 2016/17 and 2061/62, a rise of 2.3% of GDP (2) (equivalent to a rise of around £36bn in today's money). The rise in projected spending on health care in the UK mirrors the increase in the ageing population.
However, scenarios in which there were higher than expected levels of mortality, morbidity and health care development could see much greater increases in expenditure on health care. (2)
- spending on long term care is projected to rise between 2016/17 and 2061/62 by 0.9%, from an annual cost of 1.1% to 2% of GDP, a rise of 0.9% of GDP (2) (equivalent to a rise of around £14bn in today's money).
Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive of ILC-UK, said "Our ageing society will have significant impact on state spending on pensions, health care, long-term care and unemployment benefits. Across the world, people will need to continue to work longer as a result. In the UK and across the world we will also have to innovate in health and deliver a sustainable funding settlement for social care."
Emma McWilliam, Editor Longevity Risk and Consulting Actuary Milliman, said "Intergenerational collaboration is key, especially given high rates of youth unemployment. If those at working age are not employed, simple old age dependency ratios do not show the complete picture to Governments on how best to deal with the challenge ahead. Additional measures such as Labour Market Adjusted Ratios, as set out by the European Policy Centre, that effectively encourage policies around employment are definitely a step in the right direction to build public policy that reflects the current demographics and needs of all generations in our future society."
David Sinclair, Assistant Director, Policy and Communications at ILC-UK, added "Governments across the world must not ignore the future costs of our ageing society. These costs won't just go away. Drifting along is not an option and does not benefit future older or younger people. Policymakers must urgently look to solutions to the long term challenge of mitigating the increased cost of an ageing society."

IHS Seminars are good for something, another song
But Sasha Volok has outdone us a bit:
(To the tune of Surfing USA)
We're doing battle with statists
Across the USA,
'Cause everybody's reading Hayek,
The man from Austri-ay --
In spontaneous order
We let the market play,
With the writer Fred Hayek,
We use the signals of prices
And then we'll be O.K.,
'Cause no one knows what's efficient
Unless they have to pay;
If we replace that with planning
Like once in Russ-i-ay, [pronounced "Rush-Eye-Ay"]
We'll take the road to serfdom --
Serfdom USA.
[Backup singers should at this point start singing, "Serfdom, serfdom USA, Friedrich H-A-Y-E-K."]
We still have government bureaus,
Just like the FDA, [replace with three-letter agency of your choice ending in A]
But the welfare state mindset
Will soon become passe.
Ayn Rand said he was evil,
Which makes him A-O.K. --
Friedrich August von Hayek, H-A-Y-E-K.
Quick, someone get this over to Bruce Caldwell ASAP!

A response to a christian zionist
Dr. Hocking,
I have been receiving your newsletter for some time, and was happy to get your latest in the mail today.
I believe God has a special place for the people of Israel, as He always had. I believe He will fulfill all of His promises to that people, and even is doing so now.
But I must contend with your support of the state of Israel. God never gives support to this centralized government in scripture. Indeed He laments Israel's desire for the establishment of centralized government from the start, rightly identifying this form of tyranny as pagan in origin.
God established his higher law and Judges over Israel, not an arbitrary human law-giver. Jesus demonstrated the proper ethic in regards to the state, admonishing His disciples to care for the least of these. The role of the state in Romans 13 is strictly Judicial, and has nothing to do with foreign diplomacy, or social welfare.
Israel was to be a loose federation of tribes, where each man was free to do "what was right in his own eyes," rather than having to serve a king. His own conscience was to rule him, and he was to bear full responsibility and sovereignty over himself and his family before God. So each man was also responsible to defend his land with his tribe. Only with the advent of kings do we observe illegitimate aggressive warfare. Once the Israelites had a king to fight for them, the Lord no longer did their fighting for them, as he had through Joshua and Judges. Exceptions were made, but only when the King emptied himself of his position and submitted to God.
The present nation state of Israel was founded by illegitimate means, with the use of force not specifically decreed by God. Innocents, even believers, were murdered, and continue to die in vain.
It is wrong for the church to support the nation-state of Israel, or any other nation state. Centralized government is a pagan institution. If there is any good to be done in this world it is the full and exclusive responsibility of the church to do it. Indeed, lest a man be regenerate, all his good works are as filthy rags.
Please reconsider your position. I recognize it will be a difficult thing for you to do, because it will affect much of your eschatology. But we ought to allow scripture to interpret scripture. And the message we receive from the Torah, from the historical books, from I Samuel, that is both the law, and the prophets, and from the gospels is that manipulation of the political mechanism and the unprovoked use of force are illegitimate means for achieving the gospel.
The only other acknowledged office in the law was that of the priest, whom was supported by the voluntary sacrifices of the people. In this, the church and the state were kept separate.

Say there is no God. Would you...?
My responses:
1. Say there is no god, would you no longer love your family, friends, children, pets or significant others? Why or why not?
I would love them much more selfishly. Right now I love my wife and am committed to her unconditionally. If she were hurt so that I had to care for her the rest of her life with no return, or if she cheated on me, I would stay with her and continue to love her. If there were no God, I would only be capable of loving her for what she does for me.
2. Say there is no god, would you stop hoping for a cure for cancer? Why or why not?
No, I would not, but I wouldn't contribute to cancer research charities (my current favorites are AFLAC's Children's cancer and the Jimmy V foundation) unless I thought I would benefit from them. Since I have no history of cancer in 3 generations of my family, I don't smoke and drink only in moderation I am not at risk. I'd probably contribute more to heart disease charities.
3. Say there is no god, would you stop caring about the health of the environment? Why or why not?
I don't care much about the health of the environment now. At least not religiously like many others do. I don't recycle, other than cans sometimes, because most recycling processes are more expensive, wasteful,, and sometimes harmful to human existence than just trashing them.
I do take care of my own property, because I have an interest in it, and if people really cared about the environment they would buy up endangered properties and restore them on their own.
4. Say there is no god, would you want orphaned children to find loving homes? Why or why not?
I would want orphans to do the best that they could. But would I have an interest in adopting a child if I did not believe in God? Only if they would take care of me in my old age, and work for me while they lived with me. Right now I support two children in Africa, and I spent 8 years working with at-risk kids in the inner city because I believe in Christ's mandate for Christians to care for the least of these.
5. Say there is no god, would you want auto-engineers to design a safe car that gets great gas mileage? Why or why not?
I would want them to design a car that is of excellent quality and pleases me. If it has great safety features, I would place a premium on those features based on how much it would cost me.
6. Say there is no god, would you want Osama Bin Laden to be captured? Why or why not?
(I'm not sure what this one is getting at, so I'll have to come back to it.)
7. Say there is no god, would you want child-abusers to be punished by law? Why or why not?
8. Say there is no god, would you teach children to be selfish? Why or why not?
9. Say there is no god, would you steal money from an unattended purse? Why or why not?
10. Say there is no god, would you steal an item from a large department store? Why or why not?
FINALLY: Say there is no god, identify at least one reason you would still have to keep on living, be happy and that would bring meaning to your life. (Think hard–you can do this!)

United Statesians?
My response to the Latin Americans among these would be to say, "You had your chance, but decided to act French, instead."
Also, Americans had a strong tradition in identifying themselves with the particular State they lived in, often calling themselves Carolinian, or Virginian, or New Mexican, or Texan. This attachment was nostalgic, and focused on smaller communities with more peculiar cultures. Only now, some 4 or 5 generation after the Civil War, are these notions beginning to subside, along with ease and frequency of emigration.
I, personally, prefer to identify myself as a New Mexican, though I was born in New England and have lived in North Carolina for 10 years now.

No wonder Men Hate Church pt. 2
Geez, somebody buy Gareth a copy of Wild at Heart, please!
Look, I'm anti-statist, and a strong advocate of the non-aggression principle, but I LOVE Die Hard! I went to see Hostage a few years ago hoping it would be Die Hard 4 and was sore disappointed. But Live Free or Die Hard was exactly what I wanted to see. I almost stood up in my seat cheering when that fire hydrant blew.
A couple of points on principal though:
1. This was an attack on individuals, and private property, on American soil. If you can't defend that we are in trouble.
2. The attack was unprovoked, and completely malicious.
3. The US Government did everything wrong they possibly could have. Perfectly in line with the truth, eh, Katrina?
4. McClaine is attacked first. He is actively defending not just an innocent, but a criminal, trying to bring him to justice. Guantanamo?
5. Wall Street. This was the scariest scene in the film to me. And I don't have any money invested anywhere. I'm a broke student. But the thought of a major sell on Wall Street, of any kind of damage to our financial institutions, is outright horrifying. Buy Garreth a copy of Economics In One Lesson to go along with Wild At Heart. That's a great pairing any day.
6. Violence. God uses it. He encourages strength. We must think more deeply about these things. No wonder men hate church!
Yippie ki yay!

What to do about Iraq
This issue simply does not work out unless the innocents are considered. I have proposed volunteers evacuating them to the
I say nonsense. Today the cost of the war stands at $442 billion according to costofwar.com. There are 27 million Iraqis. That's $16,370 per Iraqi. Easily enough to move them here and provide some high density housing. And that's if ALL of them move. I doubt it would take more than half of the population emigrating to communicate to powerseekers that the current mode was not working.
Fearmongers will gripe that the Muslims will murder us all if we do this. That the terrorists will come, too, and start blowing us up. Especially if volunteers demonstrate the love of Christ so compassionately as to welcome strangers into our homes…
Especially if we leave their homeland and stop trying to dictate their politics…
Especially if we stop financing their natural enemies…
Especially if we bring 200,000 well trained military personnel home to live among them…
We certainly ought to be afraid. We also ought to allow our fear to dictate what is feasible and even more so what is right.
I'm snarking now, so you'll have to excuse me, but the fact is that Christians must assume the responsibility or else quit griping. We have to be risky. We have to be courageous. And we must not put our hope in the state. No wonder men hate church.
My baby's daddy (or mama) & Other terms that didn't get burried
My favorites from the list:
(1) "Bitch"
(2) "Ho" and "pimp"
(3) "My baby's daddy (or mama)" or "I take care of all my kids, I buy them what they need"
***(10) "The government will save us"
(11) "All blacks must think like white, liberal elitist democrats"
(13) "I don't need a man, I can take care of myself"
(14) "Sports (and Entertainment) is my only way out"
(17) "My car needs rims now"
(20) "Open up ya mouth, ya grill gleamin"
And, for those of us from Durham: (21) "What's wrong with strippin'?"

Radical Islam vs. Statism
Radical Islam is not capable of conquering the world. It imposes economic structures which limit the capacity for growth and sustenance. There is a reason many societies governed by Sharia law have low productivity and concentrated wealth.
The rest of the world also lives according to a pagan concept of time and law. Many see their lives as static and fatalistic. They don't think there is anything they can do to improve their lot, indeed the law frequently prohibits it. They look to those who hold power over them in fear but also for their sustenance. This is worship.
We should not be surprised then, that there are frequent wars among these peoples who do not believe in expansion of wealth, but only in its redistribution by power. The varying packs of wolves will always fight for a greater portion of the sheep.
A mistake is made when we ally ourselves to one pack of wolves or another. We often do so in the name of the sheep, but it is really to the detriment of another flock. When we fought Hitler we doomed Stalin's sheep. When we fought Japan we left many more to the whims of Chaiman Mao. Better to let the wolves fight each other, and if possible to rescue some of the sheep away from the dogfight.
But we must keep our own dogs leashed lest they go wild. When we encourage warmongering we pit our Labradors against Mastiffs. We ought not to be surprised when they become more violent and occasionally bite our children's hands. When we let them tug too hard at the leash and pull us around by regulating our industries we should not be surprised when we fall down for trying to hold on to them. When they eat too much of our taxes in the name of social welfare we ought not to be surprised when the make messes and vomit on the rug, leaving the poor with little dignity and the taxpayer in regret.
We ought to work to limit the role of the state in every way. But first we must take up the responsibility for the least of these ourselves. It is the unique and exclusive role of the church. If we fail in it we ought not be surprised when the state assumes our responsibilities.
Again, Islamic power is no worse than the potential of pluralistic secular power. We must work to keep our own dogs tame.Nathanael Snow
What Is Israel?
Of these the only one I can't support is the political entity. God never intended for
If your eschatology is dependent upon a political entity utilizing force to harm innocents I have to question whether you can mesh it neatly with the non – aggression principle implicit in the Christian ethic. I don't like to get into eschatology too much, but adoption of non – aggression led me away from statism and simultaneously away from dispensationalism, premillenialism, and Zionism. It was frustrating to me because I had to discover the common bond among these outside the Church, and many churches teach a statism alongside non – aggression and amillenialism. Indeed, Sojourner's seems to adopt such a position.
Again, I support the right of Jews to voluntarily purchase property anywhere in the world they choose to do so. I believe it is a good idea for them to do so in

Former New Zealand mare Floria is primed to strike for the Peter Moody stable in the Group 1 $500,000 Sky Racing Tattersall's Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
At her third run for the premiership trainer, Floria ran Red Tracer to a head when second in the Group 2 $200,000 Patinack Farm Dane Ripper Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 8.
Stable rider Luke Nolen will again be aboard Floria and will have to earn his cheque this week after the Savabeel mare drew barrier eleven in the sixteen horse field.
Moody is aware that Floria will have to get all the breaks if she is to turn the tables on Red Tracer after jumping from the inside gate last start, but has an early advantage over Red Tracer who came up with the outside gate.
"She'll need all the breaks and all the luck, but she was very competitive the other day," Moody said.
Moody admits that the five year old's best distance is 1600m but decided to freshened her up to give her a chance to chase a Group 1 win.
"She was good the other day behind Red Tracer, she probably wants a mile but it's the only race there so I've endeavoured to keep her fresh and chase a bit of Group 1 glory," Moody said.
"She has had three runs and has gone super on each occasion but she just strikes as a miler more than a 1400 metre type of horse."
Floria was a Group 3 winner in New Zealand before being transferred to Moody who produced her for a first up second to Skyerush in the Group 2 $175,000 M. J. Bale Emancipation Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on April 27.
The in-form Guy Walter trained mare will be one of the hardest to beat again this week and has drawn one to the outside of Floria.
Walter has two strong chances with his top mare Streama to carry the number one saddlecloth and has come up with the coveted inside barrier.
Hugh Bowman takes over from the suspended Glen Boss who rode the mare when a fast finishing third to Linton in the Group 1 $1.36m AAMI Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 8.
John Thompson's improving filly Peron faces the toughest test of her short career to date and will jump from gate thirteen.
Peron made it six wins from seven starts and remained undefeated this preparation beating Skating On Ice and Doubtfilly in the Listed $100,000 Sky Racing World Gai Waterhouse Classic (1350m) at Ipswich last Saturday.
Victorian mare Yosei will get back from gate five with Michelle Payne having to ride for luck to win her second Tattersall's Tiara after the pair took out the fillies and mares Group 1 two years ago.

Please don't be true...please don't be true...
Rumors are swirling that Britney Spears and longtime boyfriend David Lucado have split. There are a couple of reasons why we wouldn't want this couple calling it quits.
First of all, Britney is the happiest we've seen her in a long time. Like, a really long time. Basically, since the Justin Timberlake days.
Second, Britney breakups never end well. It would be one thing if they were like Taylor Swift breakups and we at least got a good song out of them, but when Britney breaks up, all we get is a sad Britney - and nobody wants that.
Third, he seems to be a really good guy (hey, he passed Britney's dad's full-on background check) and oh yeah, she loves him. "I'm in love...I adore him," she recently told Entertainment Tonight.
Fortunately, GossipCop did some digging and while it's true that Brit has been photographed sans David recently, sources say he's just been "away" and that these two are indeed still an item.
Britney Spears and Boyfriend David Lucado Call It Quits?
Please don't be true...please don't be true...

Ha! I just saw your late comment, late LOL! I am going to bed now, but I will shoot you an email to your gmail tomorrow. :)
I don't do walkthroughs, I don;t have the patience to, but appreciate those who do make them, when I'm stuck in a game... I'm almost exclusively into survival-horror games, and also as you put it "psychological mindfuck" games. I know a good amount of the lesser-known games like this, so I was thinking maybe we can compare lists of what games we have played and perhaps both dicover new ones :) I am always looking for a new gametoo, as I'm sure you are! Lemme know! :)
Hey, I just saw your comment, I'm sorry for the late answer ! Let's talk !

Arda Turan has enjoyed mixed reviews since joining Barcelona last summer. Goal recently decided to include him in their worst La Liga XI but does he deserve such stick?
The Turkish international joined the Spanish champions from Atletico Madrid last season but had to wait six-months to get his debut due to the FIFA transfer ban imposed on his club.
Turan spent most of his time on the sidelines adapting to the Barcelona way and it seemed to have paid off early on.
Barca won their first 16 games in which the 29-year-old featured in and while it would be a little far-fetched to claim Turan was solely responsible when you have the likes of Messi, Suarez and Neymar in the team but it would be unfair to underplay the role he has had either.
The team suffered a rocky patch soon after the defeat to Real Madrid crashing out of the Champions League and almost blowing the title race. Turan's form took a dip as did the rest of his teammates and he found playing time hard to come by. The bearded winger was given given just 46 minutes of playing time by head coach Luis Enrique in his last four league games. Considering Turan missed the first half of the season and was not 100 percent match fit this was of course perfectly understandable and we should not blow it out of proportion.
The bearded winger did end the season with a two goals and three assists in 810 minutes of La Liga football which is a pretty decent return but he did work assiduously in midfield making key interceptions and keeping possession with the highest passing accuracy on his team – 92.4 percent. Turan did however, have the lowest success rate for winning duals 39.9%-min (40 duels).
Turan offers Dani Alves cover playing on the left side of midfield when the Brazilian bombs forward but he has also shown flexibility in playing four different positions from midfield right to on the right and left wing.
The 29-year-old has managed to impress his manager carrying out his duties with no frills but he still needs time and perhaps more confidence to showcase his flair and attacking ability in the final third which has been perhaps the main criticism of Turan thus far.
Turan became the first Turkish international player to win the La Liga title for a second time – he also holds the record for the first Crescent-Stars player to win the league with Atletico Madrid. The Champions League eluded him once again and to run further salt in the wounds Atleti could lift the one trophy that he was yet to win. Turan actually joined Barcelona in the hope that it would increase his chances of winning the most prestigious title in Turkish football so it would be quite ironic if his former side went onto to be crowned champions of Europe.
The bearded winger has not had an outstanding season performance wise but it would be a tad hyperbolic to claim he has been awful. Turan has carried out his duties well and been a versatile member of Enrique's team. Next season will be the true test – if he stays of course. Turan will be well settled and have half a season under his belt.

1) Not travelling. The world is too big for a life this short.
2) Sticking to one relationship out of comfort and fear. You don't want to spend the rest of your life with someone where you keep wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. That's how infidelity is born.
3) Not saying, "I love you" to your parents. Your parents are people too. You grow up. They grow old. They go first (supposedly).
4) Not having sex. The fact that you think this is a regret means you've yet to demystify it.
5) Always listening to others. And drowning out your own voice.
6) Not loving someone. Don't be afraid to make what could be the best decision of your life.
7) Not apologizing. The mark of a real man is how he faces not just those he fears, but those he has wronged too.
8) Being paranoid as hell. Like, something bad will happen everyday.
9) Sticking to annoying friends all the time.
10) Then not standing up for yourself.
11) Acting super rashly. There'll always be consequences.
12) Saving too much money for "security". Your bank account wouldn't matter on your deathbed.
13) Marrying the wrong person. Divorce is very real bitch.
14) Holding back.
15) Getting arrested. Haha I've never been there. But it doesn't take a genius to know it's super messed up. You'll hurt those around you.
16) Being addicted to something. A life is not meant to be controlled by substances.
17) Not helping someone. If you have to think about it, usually not choosing to is the wrong choice. Then you will keep wondering why later.
18) Leaving your dreams in the dust.
19) Being too pissed, too sad, too depressed, too frustrated, too worried, too whatever. All the damn time.
20) Not having fun in life. You know you're allowed to right?

I often ask my students to give me a quick summary of church history. It's a good way to see what they know, and, more importantly, what they think they know. The results are fascinating. Beyond the unsurprising fact that most know very little about the story of God's people between the end of the New Testament and the day before yesterday, the stories usually have at least one thing in common: a Golden Age.
That's the beginning of my latest post over at Christianity.com: "There Was No Golden Age." I go on to explain four things that I think is wrong with the "Golden Age Mentality," and then I conclude with:
There was no "Golden Age." Or maybe we'd be better off saying that every age is a Golden Age; that is, a time when God is still faithfully working through his people to spread his gospel and display his glory throughout this broken and fallen world.

dear sir, can you clear up a couple of points for me. Looking at the photo of the CR77 can you confirm that the front brake is a replica and is fitted in a set of 1966 to 68 CB77 front forks? Also, is that a special frame. The reason I ask is that I am at present building a replica CR77 racer and all the photos I have seen so far show a front brake with a 40 spoke arrangement and Steel front fork sliders. I plan on using pre 1966 forks and a standard CB77 frame, slightly modified to have the additional bracing around the rear swing arm pivot for the rearset footrests, but no downtubes. The photos I have found so far of the downtube frames do not show a complete cradle type frame, but just down tubes to the lower front of the engine. I have had one cylinder head and a pair of cam covers cast which I shall use as slave units, to check I can carry out all the necessary machining. I have found a few minor problems with the casting, but these can be sorted out with slight modifications to the patterns. I am also currently machining my own replica 4LS front brake, but would like to be sure whether I should drill the hub for a 36 or 40 spoke pattern.
Please do not think these questions are criticising your motorcycle, I would just like to be able to make a reasoned decision on the final look of my own bike, when it is finished.
regards Peter K
Just picked up your E-mail request from last year about wanting info about CRs.
Don't know if your project is finished but still I have a load of information about them, drop me an Email if I can be of help,
Dennis Murfin
Aloha, nice to meet another CR guy. I raced CR Honda's in the 60's, had a CR110 ( picture on our site) raced a CR93 for a friend and a CR72. I built a Superhawk for the 350 class and raced that also. Now I building the "Hawk of my dreams, or the bike I never got to build" Ivan Wager had one and I got a few laps on it at Willow Springs. My email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hi Dennis
Are you the same Dennis Murfin that I raced with in the UK in the 1960's??
I'm trying to build a replica of the CB 77 350cc Read Titan I raced in the 1967-68 season, is findind parts especially crankshaft going to be a big problem??
Regards Jim Lomas
hello Dennis,
just found this site again. I had forgotten I had asked some questions. I believe you had an original CR77, but without the engine and had fitted a CB unit. I am still slowly collecting info and some minor bits and pieces, but need info about the differences between the CR frame and CB frame around the swing arm bracing and footrest brackets especially (photos would be very helpful). By the way do you still have the CR chassis? Peter K.
Hi Peter
I am interested that you have already produced a replica CR77 cylinder head casting. I have been pondering fitting a Suzuki GSX 250 top end to a set of CB72 crankcases but would be very interested to know about your replica,
Graham Curtis
I have built 2 replica cr77 and have raced them last year. They are quite fast and somewhat reliable. You can see them on face book under my team name. Giannini racing
Am very much interested in the casting you have created and wondering if you might send me a pictuire of it.
Thank you,
F. Giannini
Sorry I only just spotted your response to my earlier posting.
Yes, one and the same Dennis Murfin, I still have a CB77 race bike although not the same one I had when I knew you, that is a LONG time ago. If you look hard enough you should find all the bits you need for your project, as always crankshafts can be a problem but there are plenty of low mileage cranks around on E-Bay in the US, carriage can be expensive though.
Drop me an E-mail direct if you need any further information.
hello Dennis, I need special valves for my CB77. Can you make my special valves? Please let me know. Thank you very much. Giso
All the CR racers that I have ever seen and been around have had 36 hole rims, the bike I'm building now has standard hubs that have been modified for racing ( brake scoop exhaust holes) and 36 spokes. I make my own fiberglass tank and seat that are hand made. I also have a road race cam grind available on your cores. Email me for pictures firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi Guys
I am re-building a CB77 race bike but I think it may of been tuned as the Read engines were in the 60's as it has amal carbs etc but I would like to know more about the engine and how to check properly if anyone can help
Aloha Tony,
I have been building a CB77 for the past few years when time and money permits and I'm just about
done. Would like to talk to other "CB builders".
