TV Series With the Best Cast
The Top Ten TV Series With the Best Cast
With a plethora of incredible and diverse characters there's a dire need of an amazing cast, and the Breaking Bad team surely thought of it all. - DamnFineCupOfCoffee
Amazing cast! Makes me want to watch this masterpiece again and again.
This really is a total purity
Intense, witty, and ingenious are the word I would use to describe Sherlock, but all of that comes from perfect acting from Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes), Martin Freeman (John Watson), Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes), and Andrew Scott (Jim Moriarty).
Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch (*dreamy sigh*), Andrew Scott, Mark Gatiss, Rupert Graves, Una Stubbs, Louise Brealy, and Amanda Abbington are all perfect as their characters. No T.V. show has ever had a better cast.
Even if the entire cast was crap, there would always be the perfection that is Benedict Cumberbatch.
The best cast in sci-fi! An epic, visually stunning and suspenseful show.
I don't know which actor made it good so I will say all of the people who worked on this show made the 7 years 2002-2008 the best
Totally the best cast!
Danielle Brooks, Uzo Abuda, Taylor Shilling, Taryn Manning, Kate Mulgrew, Selenis Levya, Yael Stone, Samira Wiley, Elizabeth Rodriguez... There's so much talent on this show.
Except for Ruby Rose. Ugh.
A large cast and every one is perfect! Game of Thrones is amazing.
This if for eggs
The best I've seen of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, two heavy hitters and a really strong supportive cast. The cast plays a big part in the already amazing show.
Moira O'Hare, why not?
It keeps getting better
I don't even know where to start. I'll just say that the cast is superb and the show is amazing.
The Contenders
Beyond Belief of a great cast of actors. And every episode makes a mark for every actor in the show.
The greatest sitcom cast!
Oh and I just gotta add... That I just have no idea how Boardwalk empire could rank above this! Peaky blinders is sooo great.. Definitely top 5..
What?! How is this number 35? Cillian Murphy is amazing! Man he really gets into character and his portrayal of tommy shelby is pretty much perfect... I don't think they could have picked a better cast. of course I have to pention Sherlock... They have a pretty great cast as well.. Benedict cumberbatch is irreplaceable..
This novel show has an amazing cast, they can act better than most of the others in years, they are good at the script & writing they know how to bring fans into their show, this definitely deserves to be #1.
A truly incredible cast and a magnificent show that I can watch anytime. Perfect entertainment from the first episode to the last. Man, this show is just amazing!
Olivia Coleman and David Tennant
Best show ever, with the best cast ever. - Alpha101
Best cast on the best show
What an iconic and excellent collection of actors and actresses.
Kevin Spacey is the bomb!

By Pension and Benefits Editorial Staff
After receiving overwhelming feedback from stakeholders and industry, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a rule to rollback the policy of requiring the use of a health plan identifier (HPID) in HIPAA transactions. The previous rule was published in 2012 and industry began voicing concerns that it would be a costly, complicated, and burdensome disruption to implement the HPID. HHS now believes, based on recommendations and overwhelming and persistent industry input, the HPID and other entities identifier (OEID) do not, and cannot, serve the purpose for which they were adopted.
Old rule. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and HIPAA require HHS to adopt a standard unique health plan identifier to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care system by establishing standards and requirements for the electronic transmission of certain health information. On September 5, 2012, HHS published a final rule that adopted the HPID as the standard unique identifier for health plans, defined the terms "controlling health plan" (CHP) and "subhealth plan" (SHP), required all covered entities to use an HPID whenever a covered entity identifies a health plan in a covered transaction, established requirements for CHPs and SHPs, and adopted a data element to serve as an OEID.
HHS believed that the policies specifying requirements for health plans to obtain identifiers, and use them in HIPAA transactions when appropriate, resolved or took steps towards resolving the issues of transaction routing, difficulty determining patient eligibility, and challenges identifying the health plan during claims processing. HHS believed the adoption of the HPID and the OEID would increase standardization within HIPAA transactions and provide a platform for other regulatory and industry initiatives, and that their adoption would allow for a higher level of automation for health care provider officers, particularly for provider processing of billing and insurance related tasks, eligibility responses from health plans, and remittance advice that describes health care claim payments.
Concerns. As the enumeration process began, professional associations for both health plans and health care providers submitted feedback that stated there was no need for the HPID in HIPAA transactions, and that the policy requirements were problematic, costly, and burdensome. HHS then delayed enforcement of the regulations pertaining to HPID enumeration and use of the HPID in the HIPAA transactions in order to review recommendations and consider appropriate next steps. A request for information was published which received 53 timely comments, with the overwhelming majority of submissions recommending that the HPID not be required in the HIPAA transactions either alone or in combination with Payer IDs.
Multiple hearings were also held and between all of the information collected it was made clear that the industry already had satisfactorily functioning mechanisms to route claims and other HIPAA transactions using the existing Payer IDs. There were also concerns that it would likely be a costly, complicated, and burdensome disruption for the industry to have to implement the HPID because it would require mapping existing Payer IDs to the new HPIDs, which would likely result in the misrouting of claims and other transactions. Further, the HPID framework did not provide added value for other anticipated purposes such as including certain information in the transaction, including the name of the health plan, the level of benefits or coverage description, or co-payment and co-insurance responsibility for certain services and required coverage types.
Proposed rule. The new rule proposes to remove Subpart E—Standard Unique Health Identifier for Health Plans at 45 CFR 162, as well as the definitions of "controlling health plan" (CHP) and "subhealth plan" (SHP) at 45 CFR 162.103.

Another year of high marks for Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Hospital ranks high in U.S. News & World Report
Cincinnati Children's Hospital, once again, has received high marks nationwide.
The hospital announced Tuesday that U.S. News & World Report ranked it third among all of the magazine's honor roll hospitals in the country for the sixth straight year.
Cincinnati Children's was ranked among the top five pediatric hospitals in 7-of-10 specialties including endocrinology and neurology.
"I'm grateful to our employees for their passion, talent and dedication. They make these outstanding results possible," Michael Fisher, president and CEO of Cincinnati Children's, said in a news release. "I also want to thank the families and patients who place their trust in us for care. We are changing the outcome together."
Each hospital's score is based on a variety of patient outcomes, the delivery of evidence-based processes of care, and the presence of other health care resources and support.
The remainder is based on reputation with pediatric sub-specialists throughout the U.S.

Anton is a fine art photographer who lives in Zurich and a train driver. We met through photography and I love his work.
From his site: "Anton Signer was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1965. After High-School, he started studying musicology, art and philosophy at the University of Zurich. After 5 years, he decided to quit without the diploma and started working as an engine driver for the Swiss Railway Company (SBB).
His style can be best described as: dark, a bit disturbing and a slide of candy happiness"

In Jane Austen's Persuasion, Sir Walter Elliot is in dire financial straits because of his poor money management and refusal to stay within his means. Sir Walter's late wife was of a more practical bent than he, and she kept them within their means, but since her death years ago he has spent freely to keep up the elegance he feels he owes to his venerable name and estate. This in itself is ironic since as a baronet he is only a member of the gentry, albeit at the top of the heap, yet he has an ego more suitable to a Duke.
Two of Sir Walter's daughters back him in these views, although, to be fair, they are probably not aware of the depth of his indebtedness. Sir Walter is very well known as someone who plays the ostrich when something unpleasant arises (usually sticking his head in the Baronetage instead of in the sand). Most of his estate, Kellynch, is entailed, but he could sell off a small section which was not entailed; he refuses to do so. His pride causes him to insist on passing it intact to his heir (his cousin William Elliot) in the same state as he inherited it. This pride is certainly to William's benefit, but is not so beneficial for his daughters.
As inis the case of Mr. Collins in P&P, William Elliot is the heir presumptive and, although he scorned his future baronetcy in his youth for the lure of a wealthy marriage, he now wants the social status that the title will give him. If Sir Walter should be taken in and marries Mrs. Clay, or any other woman young enough to bear children, it is possible that he would have a son, who will take William Elliot's place as heir. This possibility drives the major sub-plot, that of William Elliot's efforts to prevent Sir Walter from marrying Mrs. Clay. When he falls for Anne he believes that marrying her might also divert Sir Walter's attention from Mrs. Clay; he and Anne could marry and live at Kellynch and Sir Walter's debts would be paid by William, most likely with the provision that he will not remarry.
Unfortunately for William, Anne does not care enough for the empty social status which her father thinks is so important to marry a man she has reservations about, although becoming the mistress of Kellynch does tempt her. Little, quiet Anne has a will of iron when she has a second chance with Captain Wentworth and William cannot hope to overcome the power of her first love. The inheritance of Kellynch and the baronetcy is the shining jewel that controls the action of all of the main characters, except Anne. She sees clearly that a bankrupt estate is nothing to feel pride about, but she also does not want her father to marry Mrs. Clay because it will degrade him to be married to a solicitor's daughter.
The free and easy relationships among the navy clearly contrast with the empty formality and pride of the Elliot family. Time has brought Anne down, with the salvation of the Elliot estate depending upon Admiral Croft's wealth (gained in the war), while bringing Wentworth up by giving him a fortune (also gained in the war), and they can now meet as equals who know what they want.

We are delighted to welcome you to the Nash & Co Cycling page. Here you can register your interest in taking part in our Business Cycle Network events, find out more about the Business Cycle Network, and get more information about the Great South West Sportive – a great new annual event that takes in parts of Plymouth, South East Cornwall, Dartmoor and West Devon.
Who is the Business Cycle Network for?
The event is aimed at business people, who are also keen cyclists, and who are looking to build new relationships with like-minded people from around the area. When arriving back at the Nuffield Health Devonshire gym, we want people to stay for a while and enjoy a bacon sandwich and coffee. This is where the "business networking" element comes in.
I'm a keen cyclist, but definitely not "elite level". Can I still come along?
Absolutely you can! The events are not about who can go the fastest or who won a race the past weekend. They are ridden at a sensible pace that everyone should be able to keep up with. After all, this is a networking event – we want people to be able to chat with each other and enjoy themselves.
Are there specific guidelines or a "Rider Etiquette" that I must follow?
Very much so. We ask that everyone familiarises themselves with the Guidelines to taking part in the ride. This is extremely important for your safety and the safety of others on the ride as well.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We want to get out on the bikes whenever we can, but we will not put anyone in harm's way. If the weather is against us, then the Nuffield Health Devonshire have very kindly offered us the use of the Spinning Studio, so you'll still be able to enjoy a ride, followed by the networking.
What dates will the Business Cycle take place?
We've selected the following dates for the rides:
March 25th 2020
April 29th 2020
May 27th 2020
June 24th 2020
July 29th 2020
What times will the Rides take place?
We want to get everyone back to their offices for a full day of work, so we'll start early in the mornings. Times will change according to the time of year, but will usually be around 7.30am. More details will be confirmed with you following registration.
What is the Great South West Sportive, and how can I register for it?
Nash & Co are headline sponsors of the Great South West Sportive – a cross-county sportive passing the regions finest landmarks with stunning coastal roads, challenging Dartmoor ascents and the most beautiful views of the South West. The 2018 Sportive had to be postponed because of the weather, but we are looking forward to the 2019 event!

The Benefit Of Food Safety Quality
Food safety quality is important because when the standards are maintained, consumers will have confidence in the food industry. Food should be fit for human consumption and should not have issues such as salmonella, bacteria, and mad cow disease. When standards are maintained, food should not go out to consumers if it can cause harmful effects. Maintenance of food safety quality is important for global consumers and they will not reject food that comes from certain brands and regions. To implement food safety quality standards, some companies and businesses have hired professionals who are knowledgeable about it.
Companies and businesses should be responsible for their customers and this is why they should maintain food safety quality to protect their customers from diseases that can arise from poor handling of food. Companies and businesses which have products which have a longer shelf life for their products as a result of innovation can be able to protect their customers from harmful bacteria. With proper food safety quality, companies and businesses will have a good reputation with consumers. Customers do not want to get health problems and this is why a company that does not meet food safety quality will go out of business quickly because no one will be willing to purchase products from that company.
People will suffer from fewer foodborne illnesses when food safety quality is maintained by people in the food industry. Food safety quality should be maintained in service establishments such as restaurants especially during food preparation. When the staff at an establishment are knowledgeable about potential risks during food preparation, they will be careful to maintain food safety quality. Establishments which handle food should also maintain their equipment properly to ensure food safety quality.
Cutting boards which are used for cutting meat in restaurants should be handled with care so as to prevent contamination. One of the ways to avoid cross-contamination of food is by using separate cutting boards for cutting vegetables and meat, especially in restaurants.
Food service establishments which train their staff on food safety quality will benefit and the staff will learn how to prepare food hygienically. There is always new information that is coming up on food safety when handling food and this is why it is important to read more about food safety quality. Companies and businesses which keep these standards will benefit as a result, and so will customers because they will be satisfied with the products of a business. For one to thrive in the food industry, one needs to maintain food safety quality.

I applied to the VRE GS-9 announcement. I have my structured interview on the 8th then my medical and fitness exam on the 9th and 11th. Equip is already submitted. I've read that the veterans announcement is expedited. Just how quickly does this process move? There should be no hickups that would extend my background process since the local agency I currently work for did a very thorough background investigation.
No announcement yet.

First 50% moves very quick now, usually within 1 month, but the real wait begins at poly and background investigation, poly wait can be up to 1 year wait in most area, background wait can be anywhere from 2 months to a year, I don't think OPM honors nor have access to background done by local agency so expect full background by them. Vra announcement is somewhat faster than Direct Hire or Regular announcements but the help truly when you can get poly and background waived. If you are required to do those... Forget it... Buckle up and wait..the real benefit of Vra is you would have more choices when you receive the call... Rockeysf good luck with your process manLast edited by V_AntCBP; 10-04-2019, 07:27 PM.
Talonderiel commented10-04-2019, 10:36 PMEditing a commentRockeysf, the wait for poly and background is very much a regional variance. Some regions are quick to get you in for poly and background; other regions not so much. Some people apply to both CBPO and BPA to speed up the process, as they both operate different time frames it seems.
As for reciprocity of backgrounds, that's not really a thing unless it's an OPM adjudicated clearance. Even then the department will still do their own adjudication and review then send to OPM for final. If you have a DoD TS/SCI, it gets you waived from the poly since a poly is usually required for that clearance. But they will still do a CBP/DHS adjudication before kicking it to OPM for final. Hopefully once DoD/DISA takes over all investigations, reciprocity might become a real thing.
Hit the timelines they provide you and hold on as best you can. The best advice I got from my buddies that work within CBP, once they convinced me to apply, was to "simply apply with multiple agencies -not just CBP-, hit the deadlines and appointments, and then live your life like you never applied until you get the final call."
Okay. Yeah I figured local jurisdiction background checks wouldn't count. But since I've had 2 done for the 2 agencies I work at it shouldn't be a problem. I've applied to both the VRA GS-9 announcements for CBP and Boarder Patrol. However, I'd much prefer border patrol. I interview at Baltimore but I believe I selected DC for the poly. Hopefully they move quickly. Anybody know if you actually get the opportunity to make the overtime salary numbers it lists on their website? Or is the the amount you'll make if you're lucky and work a post with lots of OT.
Just got the call today and the offer for San Luis. Is anyone familiar with that location (best place to live, training, etc)?

Anthony42567 commented10-07-2019, 12:03 PMEditing a comment18-9. Waiting on poly still.
One month shy of my two year mark in the hiring process, I finally just received a letter of advisement that they completed my background investigation and they have found me suitable for employment! I'm curious what everyones timeline is after this step.
10-05-2019, 11:37 PMEditing a commentV_AntCBP no she didn't tell me but I did see kli0211 post history and she left a comment about meeting the investigator back in August 2018. I'm 18-6 also waiting on background to clear. Had my meeting with the investigator 12 months ago.Last edited by Nousername1; 10-05-2019, 11:42 PM.
V_AntCBP thank you! Honestly I haven't kept up with what ports are open or available. My husband is in the Coast Guard and stationed down in Key West, so somewhere in Florida would be ideal but I know that's highly desirable so I doubt that would happen. Looking forward to the call to hear what locations they offer!
David1984 I was AD CG for 6 years. So moving around and traveling was definitely the norm. That's my only guess?
@Nousrename1 you are 18-6 and met with investigator 12 months ago???? How you pulled that off? lol damn, I'm 18-8 and just met with my last month. look like im gonna have to wait until after the election next year..lol jeezzze... so I will be waiting 1 year for poly and 1 year+ for background... omg this process is painful... kli0211 so you think traveling alot make your background long? I've been staying at the same place, work at same job but travel a lot, domestic and international, not for work just vacation purposes.
10-06-2019, 05:10 PMEditing a commentYes I'm 18-6 applicant and completed steps up to meeting the background investigator in the first 6 months after submitting my CBP application. CASS has been at 63% since September of 2018.
@ 19-2 applicants for Tristate area just wondering if anyone has received an email or phone call in regards to the polygraph exam. Any feedback is always appreciated.

kli0211My process took 11 months to get the call but now thinking about it, its worth the wait. Being 100% certain that your background and adjudication is clean, and you are suitable for employment, your actually in a real good position if you asked me. Although I have nothing in my past, I still feel a sense of uncertainty. Because I was granted provisional status.

I think otherwise man Kevin1234 I didn't elect provisional and now seeing some people waited 12 14 months for background... I wish I did elect.. the wait is awful. I waited almost 1 year for poly and now could wait another year for background...I rather take a risk and eod early without background cleared. I know I have nothing on my background...But i was scared of quitting my job, selling house, my wife quitting her job, moving...etc... but now if times come back, I would do it rather than waiting a year plus... You shouldn't feel uncertainty... You know you have nothing crazy happened on your background, you were granted provisional, now start training for academy... nothing to feel uncertain for man...
NYBseBall89 commented10-06-2019, 10:45 AMEditing a commentV_AntCBP I feel the same. I haven't even met my BI, but waited a year for the poly. I have nothing at all to hide, but the provisional just seems like a scary option especially if you're planning on picking up and moving your entire life elsewhere.

for background investigation, do they do hard pull or soft pull on the credit check?
Dodge_Guy19-4 commented10-06-2019, 03:51 PMEditing a commentIt wont show up on basic monitoring services. You need to do a full inquiry to see it, like the free annual report or a paid report.
10-06-2019, 05:02 PMEditing a commentI highly recommend Credit Karma and Experian apps. Both are excellent tools to help improve credit. CK pulls data from Transunion and Equixfax. If you have old negative history such as late payments, collections, etc you have the right to have it removed completely it its older than 7 years. Disputes can be submitted directly via apps. FCRA is your friend, use it to your advantage.
Yongky Sunyoto commented10-06-2019, 07:56 PMEditing a commentNousername1 dont think its a soft pull if they show all ur credit history till 12 years ago
10-06-2019, 08:11 PMEditing a comment@Yongky yes it's a soft pull. Both soft and hard inquiries provide data going back years. I'm currently enrolled in a credit monitoring service and I applied for a consumer credit card and hard pull was done by financial service provider. The service notified me of the hard inquiry immediately and I'm able to see the inquiry on my credit. I also got my complete credit report and it shows all soft and hard inquiries done past two years. Under soft I see that DHS pulled credit report first quarter of this year.
I seen the background investigator for the 2nd time he said everything is complete nothing is found and he is gonna give it to his supervisor and if it looks good they will send it to US Customs

Hi all very new to the forum. I posted a question earlier and want to thank those who responded. I have another question (which I tried looking through earlier posts and couldn't find anything). The logical reasoning was giving me some problems at the start, but I think I got the hang of it now. Is there any other place I can get practice problems? I tried searching but got the those puzzle logic problems. Thanks!
BowMan2006 commented10-07-2019, 01:30 PMEditing a commentI reviewed the same questions until I got a feel for them. I think on amazon there are a few books, you dont really need them unless you got all of the 5 to 10 practice wrong. The test is pretty easy though I just reviewed the practice questions.Last edited by BowMan2006; 10-07-2019, 01:31 PM. Reason: Wrong there used.
itwasjustifi3d commented10-07-2019, 02:30 PMEditing a commentOkay cool. Thanks. Before I got half wrong. Now I can answer all the practice questions right and I am able to justify why each answer choice is either wrong or correct.
Nousername1 omg, 13 months wait for background already, it must be brutal... I'm only 1 month in and I'm getting so sick of it... But you must almost finish... You are seeing the light of end of tunnel.... Good luck, keep forum posted please
For those that didn't have fingerprinting done during the SI, when/how did you get them done? I'm assuming I'll be mailed a fingerprint card and take it to the local police. At my SI in July, they said their machine was broken or something. Kinda figured I'd be contacted by now for that. But, this is a waiting game...
Anthony42567 commented10-07-2019, 12:07 PMEditing a commentYeah they'll contact you and send you a blank fingerprint card with instructions on how to process them. I, however, contacted them first and let them know I still needed to get fingerprinted. Then about a month later they contacted me and sent me all the stuff. So maybe try and contacting them first and letting them know. I was just scared that they weren't aware lol
Hope that helps.

Forgiveness For Who?
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. – Matthew 6:9-13
A couple of weeks ago a national news story caught my attention and I have followed it pretty closely. There is an anchor for MSNBC News named Melissa Harris Perry who broke a cardinal rule in journalism when she went from reporting the news to being the news. She had a "Year In Review" special on her MSNBC show where she and her guests talked about the big stories of the year… some of the stories being lighthearted – some serious… but one in specific ended up getting her in hot water. She and her guests showed a picture from Mitt Romney's family Christmas Card that pictured Mitt and his wife Anne seated outdoors surrounded by 22 grandchildren. Sounds hard to make fun of I know but MHP and the other show guests did just that – focusing on the youngest baby in Mitt's arms… an african american child. They found it amusing to see this picture of two white grandparents surrounded by 21 white grandchildren and one black baby. Here's the clip for context if you want to see it…
To say that all hell broke loose after this is probably an exaggeration … but not much of one.
People on the political right were immediately foaming at the mouth in anger demanding her immediate apology. People on the political left for the most part stayed quiet not condemning the clip but certainly not trying to defend her either.
Now here's where my interest really got peaked… Ms. Harris-Perry immediately issued apologies in several formats… in writing, on her blog, on her twitter account and most poignantly on her live broadcast… again – you can watch that clip here. Judge for yourself how you feel she handled the apology but I felt it was sincere. Many don't feel that way. And that… drives me crazy.
An apology was demanded. It was given. Multiple times. But that wasn't good enough. The majority of responses to her apologies were that she wasn't sincere, that nothing she could say would erase the stain, that she only did it because she was pressured to do so… Something tells me – she will never be able to convince some that "she means it."
Forgiveness is one of the hardest concepts in all humanity. Many people cannot offer it… and they are the ones that definitely will have the hardest time letting someone ask for it. Especially on big stuff.
Christians can be the most aggravating group of people when it comes to forgiveness… That passage at the beginning of this post is of course something we know as The Lord's Prayer… I started there because it is a cornerstone of what Jesus taught us in His time here. He said when we pray, do it like this… In other words… He didn't say, "repeat this as the only way you ever pray to my Father…," instead He said here is a good model of the concepts you should be mindful of when you talk to Him… and my favorite line in that passage is "forgive us our debts (sins) as we also have forgiven our debtors (those who have sinned against us)." Man I love how Jesus just had this knack of hitting us right between the eyes every time He spoke! I mean think about what He is saying… God – we only deserve forgiveness if we are willing to forgive… and as good little Christians, sometimes, we say that prayer and we don't even consider how deep the words are we are reciting. Speak for myself you say? Ok… I will speak for myself – but see if this sounds familiar at all…
Someone does something to really hurt or anger me… Maybe they are even so calloused about it that they don't even seem to care that it hurt or angered me… or maybe they have done this particular thing so many times that I start to take the position of … "Screw it! They don't deserve forgiveness and so I am done with them!"
Honestly, this is a very easy feeling to get … and also one that is widely accepted if not downright encouraged by the world. Common sense tells us that forgiveness is something that should be earned… that forgiveness is conditional on someone deserving to receive it from us. And that's where the rub is… because the reality is, forgiveness has nothing to do with whether someone deserves it or not. It has everything to do with us not allowing anger to turn into bitterness and offering forgiveness unconditionally all the time – and ye, that's crazy and it's crazy hard to do!
But God didn't promise us "easy."
Ms. Harris Perry's situation is an example of an epidemic. Not an epidemic of people saying ridiculous things on the news but an epidemic of non-frogiveness and us feeling like we are justified to not forgive people. That has to stop. Especially if we are Christ Followers.
As Christ Followers we have no rights to withhold forgiveness – ever. We are the most undeserving of forgiveness and we received it from the One who definitely didn't have to give it. How can we possibly claim a relationship with Him if we aren't willing to give to others what He so freely gave to us?
It doesn't matter if Ms. Harris Perry "deserves" forgiveness. Deservedness doesn't come into play here. And it doesn't come into play in any situation you can think of … Forgiveness has nothing to do with the person you are forgiving or even what they did to you… Instead… It's all about your heart and your commitment to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
As hard as forgiveness can be to give… Once you learn how and begin practicing it – you'll find a freedom you never dreamed of… You'll realize how captive the anger and bitterness were holding you. Honestly, that's true of all the teachings of The Christ… When we heed 1 John 2:6 and walk like He walked – peace, love, grace, hope and yes, forgiveness abound…

While Los Angeles firefighters were driving from another fire, they smelled and noticed smoke coming from an LDS chapel in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California. They discovered the blaze around 2 a.m. on March 1, Ash Wednesday, according to CBS Los Angeles.
The flames were coming from a classroom at the back of the building, but luckily the firefighters were able to contain the fire and prevent it from damaging the chapel and other areas of the building.
"The fire was blowing out. There was about zero visibility inside, very hot conditions, and they were able to, fortunately, keep the flames confined, "LAFD Public Information Officer Erik Scott told ABC 7. "Again, if it wasn't for firefighters being able to find this so quickly, work with our friends at the LAPD, this could have been much worse."
Arson investigators and fire officials are working together at the scene to determine the cause of the fire.

I have gleaned much good info from the "Cast Boolits" forum, so I thought it would be a good idea to give back a little something.
I recently set about the task of expanding a Lyman boolit mould, as from stock it was dropping boolits a little small for my .3585 Star Lubesizer die (made by Chris, AKA Lathesmith).
I gathered as much info as I could on the subject, taking note of various tips, do's and don'ts etc. After which, I decided on a plan but using my own methodology. I believe that I may have come up with a surprisingly better way of doing things, which makes some of the usual steps obsolete, and also expedites the process, whilst keeping it extremely accurate. This method will also not only help prevent making out of round cavities, but it makes it virtually impossible if you follow the instructions. It will also save you time, as you don't need to do multiple clean ups and castings to check progress.
It may not have the same ring as "Beagling" a mould (I love that name), but I called it "Weeting", seeing as my name is Weet…. Yeah okay, shameless plug LOL, but a guy has to have his fifteen minutes of fame sometime!
Okay, lets get to work.
The mould is a Lyman 4 Cavity 358429 4C Mould 38/357 170 Grains Pistol Bullet Mould (steel)
Using a typical alloy of Lead/WW mix, which I am not quite sure of the percentage, but puts out nice boolits which are of a decent hardness when given a water drop; are anywhere from .3565 to .3585 Which means that some, most in fact, pass through the Star lubesizer die with nothing more than gravity. This meant the lube was being squished everywhere, and the boolits were of inconsistent size.
I decided that the boolits would be better if they were coming from the mould at or around .360 which would allow for discrepancies and would size nicely to .3585
Step 1.
Cast a handful of boolits from the mould you are going to lap out, and take note of which cavity the boolits come from ie drop them onto a soft towel and keep them separated so you know which pile comes from which cavity. Caution, don't drop them until they have set well, as you don't want measurements taken from boolits that have deformed on impact. When they, and the mould have cooled, measure each boolit and take a note (the base/driving bands being the important measurement here). There will be some discrepancies, but you will be able to take an average for each set (ie four cavities in my mould), and in this way you can see if any particular cavity may need more/less work).
Note: As a matter of interest, nearly all boolits will show a little out of round, depending how they are measured. If you gently spin the boolit whilst holding it between the micrometres anvils, you will see that the values are usually most polar when taken in line with the faint mould line, then again at 90 degrees to this. It is the average of the smaller of the measurements which we should use as our reference.
So for example we might have:
Boolit cast from cavity 1. .357 (take an average measurement from three or four boolits from each cavity)
Boolit cast from cavity 2. .358
Boolit cast from cavity 3. .3585
Boolit cast from cavity 4. .358
Step 2.
Presuming all cavities are approximately the same, we can use one slug lap to work through all the cavities. If however one or more of the cavities differ considerably, then a slug will have to be used for each one individually. The goal however is to make them all consistent to each other. So, say if you found you had one which was very small in comparison, then just work on this one until it is 'up' with the others, then revert to using one slug lap for all.
In my mould, I found that one cavity was dropping about .001" smaller than the other three (see above), so that's the one I worked on first, just to get it to the same as the others..
Okay, so lets work that small cavity out ...
Remove the mould handles and sprue plate, as this makes it all easier.
Take one of the boolits cast from the small cavity, and place it back into the small cavity. Close the two mould halves and place them in a vice, boolit base up (use soft jaws so you don't mar the mould), and tighten the vice with reasonable force.
Take a metal dot punch with a nice wide 60 degree point and tap it gently a few times into the centre of the base of the boolit. This step is important for three reasons.
Firstly, it will swell the base outwards, making it a tight fit into the mould, taking out the minute amount of shrinkage when it was cast. This makes for a perfect fit, and as such you will get a perfect measurement of the cavities actual diameter using this swaged slug.
Secondly, it will stop the boolit from spinning in the cavity when you drill it (next step).
Thirdly, it obviously lets you get a centre on the base for the drill, also stops any chance of drill spinoff and mould damage.
So take out the boolit you have swaged (your reference gauge plug) and measure it, write down the result. This will give you a reference for the lapping procedure, and eliminate any guesswork. You can either replace the boolit and give it another light tap to "set" it again, else just swage another for drilling, and discard the first.
The point being here, that by simply swaging a slug at any point in the lapping process, will give you an exact measure of the increase of the CAVITY size when compared to your reference plug gauge.
Obviously, there is some shrinkage of cast boolits from the actual mould, and if you have measured firstly a slug cast (noting the alloy and casting temps etc), then you measure the ACTUAL cavity diameter from a swaged slug, you will have the actual shrinkage amount.
But in a practical sense, as long as you have an accurate measure of the actual cavity size (using your reference plug gauge), and presumably you know how much larger you need the diameter of your cast boolits to drop out, it is simply a matter of math.
For example, if the reference plug gauge measures .360 (that is not what a cast boolit would come out at remember), and you know that your boolits are actually dropping .0025" smaller than you would like, then you know that you must make the cavity measure .3625" ….. simple! NO GUESSWORK and no having to constantly keep cleaning and re-trying the mould by casting…Phew!
You can see here that there is a dark line (a small gap) between the cast boolit and the mould.
Here following the dot punch, you can see that the gap has been completely eliminated and the base is fully forced out to exact diameter of the cavity. You have now created a plug gauge by which you can measure the actual size of this cavity.
If you need to enlarge the base bands substantially, or you have a long boolit (rifle maybe), it might not be enough to just swage the base out with a dot punch. Follow this up by making a tapered hole (you will obviously need a taper reamer to follow the drilling operation) to a good depth in the boolit, and drift the appropriate taper pin into it. In this way it will force out the sides evenly, as opposed to just the base. As for my example shown here, the dot punch worked quite well, and was sufficient to push out both driving bands on my Keith style boolit.
Another method for those of you who don't have access to a taper setup, is to use a bright steel nail, of say 4". Do the "dot punch" procedure, but then drill the base with a drill a few thou smaller than the nail diameter. Apply a wipe of oil to the nail point, then carefully drift the nail into the hole, obviously with the mould clamped firmly in the vice to prevent the two halves moving apart.
Note: It wouldn't hurt to grind the sharp point off the nail first, as a safety precaution.
Then when the nail is wedged in, to remove it, grasp the head with a rag and make a few small circular motions, This will force the boolit walls outwards even more, and also make for easy removal of the nail. Finally, clean up the hole with a larger drill bit, and put in a suitable bolt (step 3).
Step 3.
We are now going to fit a BRASS bolt into the boolit, approx. two thirds deep. I say brass, as it wont hurt your steel mould if you cause them to come into contact somehow. Steel will be fine however, if you are careful.
Take the assembly across to the bench drill (a bench drill will keep the hole all squared up and prevent headaches later) and drill down about a third of the depth of the boolit. A good indicator here is to wind a little electricians insulation tape on the drill bit as a depth gauge… else set the depth gauge on the drill itself if you have one!
If you wish, use a small clamp to keep the mould pressed firmly together. I found that it didn't need one, as long as you keep a grip on it, the swaged boolit wont spin. Don't try and drill the hole in one pass, as the lead binds up on the drill bit. Clear it at least once or twice. It will stop things going pear shaped!
The hole diameter should be slightly smaller than the bolt, allowing you to push-thread the bolt into the soft lead alloy. It shouldn't take much effort. It's also much easier if you do this with the boolit still firmly held in the mould, and the complete assembly held in the vice. This will also help prevent distortion of your slug lap, or over expansion. You can also use an Engineers Square placed on the mould top, to check that you are going in square with the bolt. This is all bonus when you come to spin up the lap, and will make for an easier time.
You now have a lead 'slug lap' with a bolt attached, dead center and square on. The fancy looking bolt shown here was just something I found lying around.
Step 4.
Take a craft knife and gently trim off the front band (the bore riding band) of the slug lap. By using the bolt as a handle will help keep your fingers away from the blade, as it can jump out as it chops through the lead. I put it nose down on a cloth, and just snick small chips off a bit at a time. We are doing this (as in this instance) we don't want to increase this diameter, we just want to increase the two base/driving bands.
Note. If you want to also increase the front band diameter, then obviously you don't need to remove any lead from the lap at all.
Now, here's the clever part… take two medium/fine cut flat files, place one on the bench (remove the file handle so it sits flat), then the lap on top of the file, place the other file over the top, and then VERY lightly press and roll the slug lap between the two files keeping the pressure even and light. This does two things. It raises the profile of the slug lap (stippling or "knurling" is a common way to expand metal for fitting in oversized holes), and also creates lots of small pockets that will trap the lapping paste. It doesn't matter if the files are the same cut, as I found that having one slightly finer than the other made for a great surface on the laps bands.
You might notice a split in the lap shown. I cut four lines through the lap with a jewellers saw, to allow it to expand, but found that this was neither necessary, but actually proved awkward, so please ignore it for the purpose of the exercise.
Lap ready to be stippled.
This is the lap after a couple of gentle rolls between the files. You can see that the bands (that we are wanting to increase in diameter) have taken on a nice stippling. Notice the roughly chopped off forward (bore riding) band. This is all you need do, it doesn't need to look pretty! Even if you hack into the lap ahead of the chopped band, it doesn't matter at all.
Next thing we do is add a little lapping paste. Now, depending on the amount of material you wish to remove, and the finish of the surface, will determine the grade of abrasive to be used. If you use a too fine grit, you can end up taking forever, but also, if you have even done any 'finishing', you will know that it can also lead to problems. Fine abrading or "polishing" when there is significant material to remove, is a no-no, as you will end up losing "crisp lines" or in the case of a cylindrical hole, you will wear it out of round etc. Toothpaste or Autosol (or any fine abrasive) is a final stage polish, and I wouldn't recommended fine polish for increasing a cavity by any significant amount.
That said, neither are you looking to measure the increase with a steel rule, so the same caution goes for too coarse a grit.
I used some silicon carbide in a medium (medium stone tumbling grade) grit. I'm guessing it is about a 180 grit size (maybe finer). If you rub it between the fingers you cant really feel abrasion, but rubbed between two fingernails you can feel it bite. I sort of guesstimated it would be about right for the job, and it was. I made a paste of high temp grease, and grit, and applied it sparingly to the base bands. It adheres nicely, and we will later use light machine oil as a lubricant.
Next, put the lap into the cavity of one half of the mould and place the other half on top. You will notice that the mould will not close, and by a substantial amount. Don't panic. This is because you have stippled the lap, and also added grit paste causing it to seem much too big in diameter. So, put the assembly onto the bench, and using the heel of your hand tap down the top half of the mould carefully a couple of times. This will squash the stippling down and help to "set" some grit into the soft lead lap. Open the mould and rotate the lap through 90 degrees, wiping off any squished out paste from the mould faces. Repeat the procedure over. It will take a few turns of the lap before you can get the mould nearly closed. When you have a gap of only a few thou, you are ready to start lapping.
This is about what plate gap you should see after rotating the lap and tapping the mould together a few times. The gap will close up gradually as the lapping action peens down the stippling on the lap, and also to some small degree removes material from the mould.
Place the mould on the edge of the bench, get a vari-speed battery drill (don't use a big heavy one speed drill) with a suitable socket adaptor, and gently and slowly spin the bolt/lap in the mould. Keeping one hand on the top of the mould, using enough downwards pressure to just allow the lap to spin. Keep the drill square on to the mould and try not to tilt it or allow it to "rest" its weight downwards ie take the weight of the drill yourself. This is why a lightweight battery drill is best.
As you get used to the operation, you will be able to confidently increase the drill speed, knowing when to stop/check/lubricate & clean.
Notice, I haven't yet placed my hand on top of the mould assembly, this was for clarity of the picture.
A freshly stippled and gritted lap is a bit bumpy on run-up, but only for a second or two, then it settles in. Don't be alarmed by the chatter or rough startup, as the soft lead alloy will take the beating, NOT the steel mold. The lead will quickly conform itself to the shape of the much harder steel. A soft lead lap does not work the same as would a hard wheel grinding tool for example.
After a few more seconds, open the two mould halves and take a look. Remove the slug lap and check that it is all okay. Before you pop it back in, carefully wipe any grinding paste from the faces of each mould half. Put a single droplet of light machine oil onto the lead slug when it is seated in one half of the mould, and close it up again. Give the slug a slow spin-up again with the drill, using hand pressure to keep the mould halves just pinching the slug lap.

There are some key disadvantages when selling items through an auction house mainly due to the rather high commission costs, time delays and unsold item and storage charges.
- Most auctioneers will charge you a commission fee which is normally 24% once vat, insurance and handling fees have been applied. This fee can go as high as 50%.
- It may take weeks before your item goes into a sale and if it doesn't sell.. you may be charged unsold item fees, as well as storage costs for large items such as bulky furniture.
- Up to a quarter of the price or in some cases more is deducted from the total achieved is kept by the auction house. So if your item sells for £300, you would receive £225.
- Often fragile antiques can be damaged whilst being handled and on display in an auction room.
- If your item does achieve a sale it may take up to 6 weeks before you receive the final payment.
- Your items may go unsold. When this happens your items are either returned to you or relisted in the next appropriate auction.
- There can be extra costs such as transportation fees, photograph fees, reserve fees, and buyback fees if the item is unsold because of a reserve.
Our purchasing service is prompt and without the delays associated with auction rooms.

Waterway Structures and Hydro Power
The Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site is a major network of locks, bridges and dams that traverses 386km through central Ontario. Water levels and flows throughout the watershed are managed by approximately 160 operable dams and water control structures, many of which are nearing the end of their lifecycle.
Rehabilitation work on the Waterway was awarded in four separate construction contracts representing four different bundles of work: Central, North, South and Kirkfield. Maple Reinders was awarded work on the Central, South and North bundles, the first two as part of a joint venture.
The goal of the overall project is to repair or replace assets in poor condition with similar structures while maintaining important cultural and heritage elements of the original construction.
The Waterways Infrastructure Investment program is one part of the Government of Canada's $3 billion investment into Parks Canada infrastructure – the largest in the agency's history. The Central Bundle contract specifically – at $148.5 million – is the largest single project ever awarded to Maple Reinders.

Our Heritage
Canterbury is a school that is proud of its heritage. The area in which the school is located formed an integral part of Wurundjeri willam territory. The Wurundjeri of the Kulin Nation was one of four Koorie clans in the Port Phillip region.
Built in 1908, the original building remains and careful stewardship over the last 110 years has kept many of the architectural features intact. The school was designed by architect J.B Cohen and accommodated 400 students in eight classrooms, a hall and an armory that housed arms and ammunition used by the Cadet Corps that operated at the school between 1909 and 1911. In 1924 a new building with 10 additional classrooms was built to accommodate an increasing student population of over 1000 students. The art and music rooms, gym and senior school learning environments were built in 2011 and designed around 21st Century learning needs in open, flexible spaces.
An extensive archive collection is continually being added to by donations from past pupils. Regular displays from this collection give an insight into the school's history for the students.
Heritage News
Centenary Year Celebrations – Several exciting events were held in 2008 which included the publication and launch of the school history, A Pocketful of Acorns, Open Day, a Centenary Ball and the unveiling of a Centenary sculpture.

Well, today was not the best of days. It started of badly and only made a bit of a recovery. I opened my emails this morning to find out that Project Smile was not chosen as the charity for a particular womens organization to support for the next 3 years. I had spoken at the state meeting for this organization a few months ago and then last month at a local chapter. They had supported a large non profit for the past 3 years and instead of choosing to go with us, they are continuing with the other charity. That was very disappointing. Then less than an hour later, I get a phone call from one of our board members who said she is no longer going to be on the board and won't be able to sponsor a month in our calendar. There's nothing I can do about either one of those things- and each one separately is not that big a deal, but together is was upsetting. It sucks to lose a board member, but you can't force someone to do something they don't want to do and there is nothing worse than people making false promises. It just amazes me sometimes how easily people walk away from things.
I still haven't found a guest speaker for our Anniversary Celebration. I'm running out of people to ask. It took me until July last year to get a speaker, so it's not like I'm behind. I have approached some interesting people that I'm still waiting to hear from, so please keep your fingers crossed for me! Hopefully, we will be getting some good news really soon.
So what else is going on? I know I sound like a Debbie Downer- things are not all bad, it's just today was rough. I was making other calls, but not really getting anywhere. I did sign up with an organization that helps identify grants, it was highly recommended to me and from what I've seen, I think it will be really helpful. In other good news, we are on track with our sponsorship goal for the Anniversary event and we're getting cool auction items donated at a decent rate. On the downside, I'm way short on gift certificates for the date auction and I still haven't reached our sponsor goal. I also need some more ladies to be auctioned, 8 more ladies to be exact and we still need quite a lot of men, but it always takes a while to get the guys signed up.
I know I need to relax about things- everything that I'm stressed about now is the same stuff that I deal with every year, it isn't anything new. Things have always worked out in the past, so I shouldn't get so anxious. However, just because things have worked out before, it doesn't necessarily mean it is going to work out this time. When I get stressed, I need to go back to baby steps- break down the big tasks into small manageable pieces and gradually the bigger things fall into place. That has always been how I get things done.
Anyways friends, I'm off to eat some more watermelon (my favorite fruit), then write my list, I've been slipping with my list writing lately, then bed. Tomorrow will be a much better day. We also have the singles event organized by BEG at Splash- we are getting the $10 ticket proceeds. They already have 100 people signed up, so that will be great. Events like this are perfect- all we have to do is help promote and show up- we need to get more events like that.
Until tomorrow friends..

Allergy Testing Abbotsford
Allergy Testing Abbotsford - The term asthma comes from the Greek language and means "panting." It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. Asthma is characterized by recurring and variable symptoms, comprising reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm. Signs of asthma consist of: chest tightness, wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. Asthma is clinically classified depending on the frequency of signs, peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in one second. Asthma could be further categorized as atopic or extrinsic or non-atopic or intrinsic.

I'm astonished by my 10 year old son. He told me the other day that he is uncomfortable singing a Christmas song at school and doesn't want to sing some of the lyrics. I asked him what song and why.
The song is "Away In A Manger."
He said he doesn't think he should have to sing it since he is an Atheist and doesn't believe in god or Jesus and he feels uncomfortable singing about them. We fully respect him for his decision. I also told him that if the teacher asks why he isn't singing, that he should express those feelings to her. His comfort level around me vs a teacher may be very different. I understand that at his age he may not be able to express his concerns to an authority style person. If he needs us to explain to the teacher why he isn't singing, we will.
This isn't the first time my son has expressed that he is an Atheist. The other memorable moment that I have witnessed was when he was seven and said to another child that he doesn't believe in god. This other child was dumbfounded and started asking my son how someone could not believe in god. This other little boy just couldn't grasp the concept. Perhaps in the same way that my son can't grasp the concept of believing in god.
Now, back to the Christmas Season, as an Atheist I still enjoy the holidays. I wish people a Merry Christmas. I sometimes say Happy Holidays. I gladly and respectfully return a greeting to friends or strangers based on their beliefs. When I was a child, I had to sing religious based carols because I was going to a Catholic school. A part of me still enjoys hearing them from time to time since they remind me of my childhood.
The idea of a mythical person bringing gifts through a chimney to place under a tree inside our home has always been a part of my family's Christmas. Sometimes we open gifts on the 24th, 25th or 26th. The date doesn't matter. Baby Jesus isn't a part of our custom. If anything, we are sharing in the Winter Solstice with family and friends.
As an Atheist parent, I normally don't discuss religions with my family. My children have asked in the past why we don't go to church and I've explained why this is. I have also explained to them that they are more than welcome to explore different ideologies throughout their lives. Currently, all of our children feel that they are Atheists. I'm not going to close off their own free will to explore and question life. If they so choose to find religion or god, that is their choice.
Reading books is the best way to find answers in this world. We encourage our children to read and expand their knowledge through books. As well, if they have questions about anything, they are encouraged to ask. Sometimes our dinner topics can be uncomfortable, but my wife and I don't feel the need to sugar coat or ignore their queries. Being an Atheist doesn't mean we can't be open minded. Far from it actually.
If a time comes that our children do become religious- we will respect their choice. First and foremost, being a parent is about love and understanding.
