If a man keeps asking a woman out who doesn't want to go out with him, feminist-created laws to stop him. They call asking her out multiple times "sexual harassment." If the woman doesn't want to go out with that man, they say the woman shouldn't have to be with him.
BUT when a man doesn't want to hire a woman, feminists force him to do so. They force her upon him. They say if the man doesn't want to be with that woman, he should be forced to be with her.
How does that make women feel more successful?
Do they enjoy working with someone who didn't want them there?
The ladies I know have more self-worth than that. They want to be around people who want them there.
Those who work outside the home do so because their employers wanted them and they wanted to work there.

Amalgam restorations have been used to restore decayed and damaged teeth for over 150 years. Most people refer to amalgam fillings as 'silver' fillings because of their color when first place.
Resin composite restorations are made up of ceramic and plastic compounds which are utilized in tandem with a dental bonding system. Dental bonding systems are designed to improve durability, strength and longevity, while reducing post treatment sensitivity.

Your employees may choose to enter into a salary sacrifice arrangement with you to make additional contributions to their super from their pre-tax income. The employee sacrifices a portion of their pre-tax salary which you then pay directly into their super account.
If a salary sacrifice agreement is in writing, you can claim a tax deduction for the contribution.
Important issues
Non-wage remuneration is included in income tests used to determine eligibility for a range of government financial assistance programs, including family tax benefits and some Centrelink benefits.
Salary sacrifice superannuation contributions are included as income for income-testing purposes. This can affect your employees' eligibility for the:
- Federal Government Co-contribution
- Spouse contributions rebate
- Self-employed tax deduction
However, the sacrificed component is excluded from the definition of assessable income that is used to determine the employee's PAYG tax liability.
Please note, from 1 January 2020, salary sacrificed super contributions will not:
- reduce the ordinary time earnings that you are required to calculate your employees' super entitlement on
- count towards the amount of super guarantee contributions that you are required to make in order to avoid the super guarantee charge.
The salary sacrifice contributions included as income for the various income tests are called 'Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions' (RESCs). Employers are required to report their RESCs in pay-as-you-go (PAYG) annual withholding reports and in employees' PAYG payment summaries.

The 2011 H1N1 Pandemic Fiasco
Recombinomics Commentary 14:50
January 1, 2011
Despite three people in East Yorkshire already dying from swine flu this year, Jim Deacon, assistant director of emergency planning for the NHS in the Humber region, insisted the threat is no greater than in the past.
Swine flu is the most predominant strain of flu this winter and is classed as part of seasonal flu.
Mr Deacon said deaths from seasonal flu are not as high as previous years and the fact the most common strain this year is swine flu is "not significant".
"But you would expect something like 2,000 deaths nationally from flu by this time of year and it is about 400 so far.
The above comments encapsulate the 2011 pandemic fiasco, an abject failure to control the spread of H1N1 in 2011, which is well represented by the health care crisis in the United Kingdom.
The fiasco really traces back to the SARS pandemic, when laboratory confirmation was used to define and quantify SARS coronavirus infections. There was a clear need for an accurate number of cases because of the significant financial, political, and social impacts of infections, and shortly after the mysterious disease began to spread internationally, a laboratory test based on the novel coronovirus was in place and distributed worldwide.
However, the testing requirements provided a convenient mechanism for gaming the system by simply limiting testing. Prior to the test China limited knowledge of the disease by simply not reporting cases. They subsequently lowered the case fatality rate by increasing the number of mild cases tested. However, Taiwan was the country that aggressively lowered its number of SARS cases by cremating bodies prior to sample collection and classifying these cases, which clinically matched SARS confirmed cases, as SARS-related cases, thereby cutting the number of SARS confirmed cases in half.
This manipulation of confirmed cases was quickly extended to influenza in general and H5N1 in particular. The most effective way of limiting the spread of confirmed H5N1 cases was to simply not test. Consequently, the H5N1 index cases for Cambodia, Indonesia, and China were not counted because samples were not collected, and the first confirmed cases in each country were contacts of the index cases. The "not testing" approach was also widely applied to outbreaks in poultry and wild birds, initially in Asia, but subsequently in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The testing requirement and associated gross undercounts were eventually applied to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, leading to major misconceptions about the spread and gravity of the outbreak. Infections in schools were underplayed because only lab confirmed cases were cited and the vast majority of infected students were not tested. This allowed schools to remain open and the high levels of H1N1 undisclosed. It also created a gross undercount of cases, which extended to severe and fatal cases.
The gross undercount was magnified by comparisons to historic levels of seasonal flu deaths. In the United States the annual number was 36,000, but these were deaths of the frail and elderly who were estimated by death certificates and clinically defined cases, not lab confirmation.
These very different approaches in estimating seasonal and pandemic H1N1 deaths led to false comparisons, including media reports claiming the H1N1 was an infection that was much milder than seasonal flu, when lab confirmed deaths in young adults were compared to estimates of deaths of patients who were well over 65 years of age and battling long term health problems.
The public and in some cases agency perceptions of the false comparisons were compounded by the WHO proclamation on the end of pandemic phase of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in August of 2010. Although a new sub-clade was emerging in Australia and previously healthy young adults were dying in Australia and India, the pandemic phase was declared over because the seasonal H3N2 influenza A as well as influenza B began to re-emerge while pandemic H1N1 levels were low in the northern hemisphere. However, and decline in the pandemic strain is the norm, which is due to the target population developing immunity. However, the pandemic strain develops variants which can escape from the immune response, which produces a new wave, as is currently seen in the UK.
The UK H1N1 includes the sub-clade that was emerging in Australia when the WHO issued its August proclamation. This sub-clade and other variants continue to evolve away from the 2009 vaccine target as well as immune responses generated against the H1N1 circulating last season, including the vaccine target A/California/7/2009, which is again the target for this season.
One such change was G158E, which was present in
However, when D158E began to appear in US isolates, the CDC changed its assay, which no longer classified H1N1 isolates with G158E as low reactors. Moreover, an isolate from the Ukraine, A/Lviv/N6/2009 had another change D225G, which Mill Hill designated as a low reactor. The CDC published a sequence from that patient that had both G158E and D225G, but they still failed to designate that isolate as a low reactor. The WHO regional center in Australia subsequently published antigenic characterization data which showed a sharp reduction in titer for A/Lviv/N6/2009, adding to the uncertainty about the CDC assay.
Indeed, the only low reactors from the United States identified by the CDC were those with changes at the adjacent position, 159, raising further doubt about the sensitivity of the CDC assay.
The change at position D225G also was critical in vaccine production. Isolates with D at position 225 produce a low viral yield when grown in chicken eggs. MedImmune used a clone with D225G and had a vaccine spray delivered weeks ahead of the vaccine shot because of differences in viral yield. The delay in the shot was significant because the spike in fall H1N1 was early and had passed its peak by the time the vaccine shot shipped in quantity. Thus, vaccine uptake in late 2009 / early 2010 was very low and the vaccine target for 2010/2011 was unchanged.
This initial low uptake was compounded by the WHO August proclamation on the pandemic phase. The announcement of its end led to low vaccine uptake in the fall of 2010, as well as a relaxing of pandemic preparedness.
This reduction in preparedness has led to the current fiasco in the UK, which is now starting to appear in Europe, where H1N1 is the dominant strain in circulation and vaccine uptake is low.

text: According to the UNHCR, there are roughly 2.7 million Syrian refugees in Turkey [AP] Turkey could walk away from a promise to stem the flow of refugees to Europe if the European Union (EU) fails to grant Turks visa-free travel to the bloc in October, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told a German newspaper. His comments in Bild's Monday edition coincided with rising tensions between Ankara and the West that have been exacerbated by a failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15. Turkey is incensed by what it sees as an insensitive response from Western allies to the attempted putsch, in which 240 people were killed. Long wary of Turkey's ambitions to join the EU, some European countries have expressed concern over a huge number of arrests since the coup, implying President Tayyip Erdogan is using it to quash dissent. The unease has also hurt relations between Turkey and Austria and Sweden, with Ankara summoning diplomats from both countries to protest against what it says are false reports about changes to its child abuse laws. READ MORE: Opinion - The dark side of the EU-Turkey refugee deal Asked whether hundreds of thousands of refugees in Turkey would head to Europe if the EU did not grant Turks visa freedom from October, Cavusoglu told Bild: "I don't want to talk about the worst-case scenario - talks with the EU are continuing but it's clear that we either apply all treaties at the same time or we put them all aside." Visa-free access to the EU - the main reward for Ankara's cooperation with choking of a flow of people to Europe - has been delayed because of a dispute over Turkish anti-terrorism legislation, as well as the post-coup arrests. Brussels wants Turkey to soften the anti-terrorism law. Ankara, though, says it cannot do so, given multiple security threats which include the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant presence in neighbouring Syria and Kurdish fighters in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast. European Commissioner Guenther Oettinger has said he does not see the EU granting Turks visa-free travel this year because of Ankara's sweeping arrests, which have seen more than 35,000 people held over alleged involvement in the coup. Cavusoglu said the deal with the EU stipulated that all Turks would get visa freedom in October, adding: "It can't be that we implement everything that is good for the EU but that Turkey gets nothing in return." A spokesman for the European Commission declined to comment on the interview directly but said the EU continued to work together with Turkey in all areas of cooperation.

This is of course, speaking hypothetically, not referring to actual ability.
But, as this Screamer piece talks about, a LOT of players as this year's World Cup were eligible to play for multiple countries when it came time to choose a country to suit up for thanks for FIFA's eligibility rules.
Under FIFA guidelines, a person is eligible to play for a country based on these circumstances:
- They were born there
- A biological parent or grandparent was born there
- They have lived there for five consecutive years after turning 18
So, that leads us to today's fun game: What countries could you play soccer for?
Myself? Obviously the United States. But, since my grandmother was born in Canada, I could play for them as well.
So, how about all of you?

American Hustle Soundtrack (Pre-Order) by Various Artists
Like Goodfellas and Boogie Nights before it, American Hustle's music celebrates the epic feel of '70s pop, rock, and disco and uses it to give its story extra heft. David O. Russell's tale of con men, Feds, and the mob has a lighter touch than either of those two movies, however, and this is reflected in the soundtrack's song choices. More than a few of these tracks are by Electric Light Orchestra as well as Jeff Lynne on his own, and the whimsical yet driving sound of "10538 Orchestra," "Long Black Road," and "Stream of Stars" lends a tongue-in-cheek tone supported by Tom Jones' "Delilah" and Chris Stills' "Live to Live." The album touches on some of the decade's definitive songs (Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Wings' "Live and Let Die," Donna Summer's "I Feel Love") but never sounds like a prepackaged hits-of-the-'70s collection, due in large part to unique choices like Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' gritty version of "Don't Leave Me This Way" and Mayssa Karaa's otherworldly Arabic interpretation of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," which is so striking that it's one of the finest songs on an album packed with big names. A nuanced and playful soundtrack, American Hustle works well as a companion piece to the movie that spawned it and on its own. - Heather Phares (All Music Guide)

Dark Side Of The Moon (40th Anniversary Edition)
Pink Floyd's most successful and singularly defining album is here to stay. The Dark Side of the Moon has sold over 40 million copies worldwide since its release in 1973, and it shows no signs of letting up. With lush, immaculate production and sweeping instrumentals, The Dark Side of the Moon is unrivaled in sonic brilliance. The complex textures found within have captivated audiophiles for over thirty years.
With lyrics about seemingly mundane details set against dreamy, atmospheric backdrops, the songs on The Dark Side of the Moon achieve a truly emotional response. Performances are not virtuosic, but they are brilliant nonetheless and were likewise brilliantly recorded. Abbey Road Studios engineer Alan Parsons and Pink Floyd made use of some of the most advanced techniques available at the time to craft a sound that was innovative yet entirely classic, by any sense of the word. Swirling organs, mellow drums, and spacious guitars are signature sounds that have been inextricably linked with Pink Floyd's magnificent songwriting.
The Dark Side of the Moon is a peerless entry in the annals of classic rock history. No record collection should be without this multi-platinum masterpiece.
Remastered by James Guthrie, and artwork by Storm Thorgerson. Ranked 43/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Band Of Horses "Acoustic At The Ryman" out Next Week!
SRC have posted a last minute addition to next weeks release schedule! This one is an acoustic album from Band of Horses "Acoustic At The Ryman". The album features 10 acoustic versions from various Band of Horses songs.
ACOUSTIC AT THE RYMAN, is a 10-song virtual greatest hits set of acoustic renditions of songs from across the Band Of Horses catalog, recorded at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium over two magical nights in April 2013. Having captured this two-night stands worth of singular performances that the Nashville Scene said -brought to mind the best efforts of Eagles and Crosby, Stills and Nash,- BOH set about translating the energy and electricity of the Ryman document into the closest possible experience to having been there. ACOUSTIC AT THE RYMAN is one of a mere handful of non-classical/jazz albums mixed and mastered in the DSD format, capturing the ragged magic of an unforgettable performance in dangerously pristine quality. The recording was mixed down to DSD through Mytek converters and mastered from DSD by Bob Ludwig at Gateway using the Mytek 8Z192 ADDA. It was then transferred from DSD to 180 gram vinyl by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab

Ishiyama High is a school full of delinquents. Oga Tatsumi, nicknamed "Ogre," is known as the most powerful delinquent of all. Even the upperclassmen and students from other schools recognizes his strength. One day, while engaged in a fight, Oga spots a huge man drifting down a river. As he saves him, the man splits in half, and out comes a lively baby from his insides.
This baby is Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV (Baby Beel), the son of the Great Demon King. He has been sent to Earth to destroy humanity. He immediately becomes attached to Oga, who possesses outrageously evil strength. That's right – the most notorious delinquent was chosen to become the parent of a Demon King. Whenever Baby Beel cries and throws a fit, he ends up electrocuting Oga. After learning that Baby Beel becomes attached to strong and evil beings, Oga goes on a search for people who are more powerful than himself. But even then, he helps Baby Beel overcome his weakness and even goes with him to defeat other delinquents. Before you knew it, they were starting to look like a real family.
"Beelzebub" is a heartfelt parenting story featuring Oga Tatsumi and Baby Beel, as they laugh, cry, and fight; all the while maturing as a parent and a child.
|Tatsumi Oga
Oga is first introduced as a strong fighter, beating up some fellow class mates and then making them bow down to him because they had attacked him in his sleep. It is revealed that he is relaying the story of a series of strange events which leads to him becoming the Earthly father of the son of the devil, Beelzebub IV.
|He was picked to become Beelzebub's father because he possessed the qualities of the ideal parent for the future Devil King: strong, arrogant, and thinks nothing of his fellow man. In addition to the aforementioned attributes, Oga also seems to take pleasure in tormenting others, such as when he downright kidnapped Furuichi from a 5-star resort in order to go with him to the public pool, stating that he did so mainly to piss him off. Oga and Beelzebub cannot be separated by more than 15 meters or else it may result in instant death for Oga, according to Hilda
|Manga Online
|TV Episode
Beelzebub D/L [Eng-Sub]
Takayuki Furuichi
He is comically referred to as "idiot Furuichi" by Oga, and is often the victim of many jokes in the story, although he is shown to have a ruthless side to him as well, suggesting a different but no less evil commonality with Oga. Despite the nickname, Furuichi is shown to be highly strategic. For instance, using Beelzebub's electricity to knock out a few opponents. It is also remarked that Furuichi's grades would have easily gotten him into a high class school.
"[The story starts as he is telling the story of how he found the baby to his best (and only?) friend Furuichi Takayuki. One day while fishing by the river (actually, taking revenge on people trying to kill him in his sleep), he sees a man floating down it, he pulls him to shore,revealing a baby boy. This boy is the son of the demon king and he has been chosen as the one to raise it with the baby's maid Hilda. The story follows his life with the child and at the delinquent school. The early chapters of the manga follow Oga as he attempts to 'pass on' Baby Beel to other students at Ishiyama, (The theory is that if Oga can find someone more evil and stronger than him, Baby Beel will attach to that person instead of Oga). After subsequently fighting and defeating all members of the Tōhōshinki and in the process, destroying Ishiyama High itself, Oga and company are transferred to Saint Ishiyama Academy, which appears to be a direct opposite of the delinquent school.]"

text: Posted 18 Jan 2011 · Report post Scott, I will attempt to answer every paragraph in the order you wrote them.1) For one to know that there is a "chemical imbalance" they would have had to have evidence to prove their hypotheis which has never been done. No measurement of any chemicals and what they exactly do in the brain has ever been done on a living human's brain. The two things that come the closet to measurements are the taking of spinal-fluid before it enters the brain and then the collection of it after it leaves the brain. One other aspect that gave a glimpse into the brain is when it was discovered that when thin slices of brain were exposed to formaldehyde vapors the biogenic amines fluoresce different colors. So, norepinephrine fluoresced as bright green and serotonin as yellow and later dopamine. So, researchers could see through scans where the chemicals were going, but could not determine what they were doing in the brain. In different terms, there still is no evidence to back the unproven claims of a "chemical imbalance" causing a "mental illness!"2) Once again I offer further reading in the books that I mentioned to come to a deeper understanding of what goes on during the use of drugs. Alcohol causes an effect also, but one would not consider it to bring about a positive response. Also, in most of the people that have the so called "chemical imbalances" or schizophrenia I think you will find it very difficult to find one that has not taken a large amount of drugs, so once again the cause is not some undefined disease. 3) It seems my point has been misunderstood. The items mentioned by Betsy (stroke) do not start in the brain, the brain feels the effect of a lack of oxygen to the area and some parts of the brain die. But, if oxygen returns to the brain and given enough time and effort a person can gain back control almost all of their lost aspects of their body. "Mental illness" which supposedly begins in the brain with a "chemical imbalance" which means that neurons cannot receive and transfer information to carry out daily activities, conscious or not, then the rest of the body would die off. In other words, you cannot just have a "chemical imbalance in the brain, because the rest of the body has neuro-synaptic connections that are also facilitated by "chemicals"/hormones. Norepinephrine and seratonin do not just function in the brain. Norepinephrine has many functions within the body. When we sense cold upon our skin, norepinephrine is released that causes the muscles around hair folicles to contract which causes the dimpling commonly known as "goosebumps. The hair rising is a hold-out from our ancestors that had much more hair which would collect the warm air to warm up the animal. The release of norepinephrine also happens when man is under stress or in fear which causes the expanding of blood vessels and increased pulse rate to get us ready for the "fight or flight" syndrome. Seratonin is realeased when we eat carbohydrates which travels from the digestive tract to the brain which causes a shutting down of the hunger urge. This happens as we sense (thanks to the sensation of taste which is part of the bodies nervous system) the food in our mouths and it begins to break down. So, first off, if we had a "chemical imbalance" or a "receptor malfunction" it would not only be effecting the brain's neurons and neuro-synaptic transfers of energy as the whole body would be having neuro-synaptic" problems which in other words means a transfering of information and commands.4) What I was trying to point out is that the whole idea is false. There is no such thing as a "chemical imbalance" as the brain's chemical/hormonal release is in a constant state of flux caused by what we sense and think about. In different terms, chemical changes are an effect not the cause of our psychological state. 5) I agree and if anyone is serious about the questions I raised then maybe they can begin a new thread, a PM or by reading the books I mentioned.6) I agree with this paragraph also, and I hope he gets the full extent of what the law can punish him with.

Last night we finally met the final 14 from America's Next Top Model cycle 21. I'm really happy with many of the finalists, my favorite girl Lenox made the cut and my favorite boy Ben did it too, I'm also glad that Danny didn't make it, thanks Tyra Banks for leaving him behind. However I'm very sad they let go of Jamie Rae and L'Meese.
On the other hand I think this cycle will be awesome thanks to Yu Tsai. The legendary fashion photographer is the new creative director of the show's photoshoots, goodbye Johnny Wujek. I still want a girl to win and hopefully it'll be Lenox or Kari, who I love too, but I also like Mirjana and Ivy, she really stood out in the group shot. As for the boys I like Ben and Keith, but I can't stand Adam, please get rid of him in the next week!!
Let's see what happens next! Can't wait to see the new house and of course, the drama, haha. Now that Danny is out who's Romeo gonna confront next?

Find over 25,000 video lessons from great teachers.
Virtual Science Lessons
The Japanese Science and Technology (JST) Center offers nine virtual science lessons that cover topics in physics, biology, psychology, geography and space science. Each virtual lesson presents a manageable chunk of information followed by activities in which students apply what they have learned. Each lesson also has multiple parts (some have more than 20 parts) and multiple activities.
One of JST's virtual lessons is Earth Guide, an eight-part lesson about Earth's place in the Solar System and Earth's environment. Each of the eight parts features multiple forms of information.
Mind Lab focuses on biology and psychology. The lesson is designed to engage students in thinking about the ways in which they perceive what they see. Mind Lab has four introductory videos about the way in which we absorb information and how perceptions may not be reali ty. For example, one activity from Mind Lab helps students discover their "blind spots" and teaches them how people sometimes become oblivious to their blind spots.
Other virtual lessons include:
A New Door to the Future – The Human Genome
The Mysteries of the Body – What Is This "I"?
The Search for ET! – Are Humans Alone in the Universe?
The Search for Energy Transmission in Sports
The Physics of the Amusement Park

"MasteryConnect has created a new education service that takes a pinboard-based approach to social sharing, with a focus on tools and tips for teaching Common Core State Standards.
The service, Resource Pins, is a free tool for K-12 teachers modeled on Pinterest. It allows teachers to create and share individual teaching resources and build collections of tools like lesson plans, visual aids, tips and techniques and a range of other materials. The service had been running a limited pilot prior to this rollout. According to the company, more than 10,000 posts had been made within the first few weeks of the pilot."
You can experiment and find which resources work best with your students. You can share resources for specific standards, thus making it so much easier to find the lesson materials you're looking for without sifting through endless resources. You now have a social platform just for you and for your fellow teachers. You can narrow your search down by grade and subject, and then to the individual standard,

9. "I owe so much of my career to Jim Beckley," she said.

11. Ripa was cast in her first major acting role in 1990 as Hayley Vaughan, a troubled party girl, on All My Children.
12. In his autobiography, How I Got This Way, Philbin says of discovering Ripa:
13. Hers was a natural, quick-witted, unaffected, confident, fun-loving kind of sparkle that both Gelman and I remembered very well.
14. We decided to invite her back, this time to consider her as a possible co-host.
15. So that was when this smiling, petite ball of fire named Kelly Ripa made her return to Live! for a test run at the rotating, up-for-grabs hot seat to my left.

The Lion Hunts
Click here to buy through Etsy
Several identical reliefs were found bedecking walls in Persepolis, ancient Iran, emphasising the importance of this image. This lion hunt scene represents not just a natural act of hunter and prey, but also the changing of the seasons with the sun-linked lion devouring the moon-associated bull. The life and death struggle between the lion and bull continues to be a strong image within Zoroastrian mysticism and is celebrated yearly in the Nowruz festival.

The Sun in His Chariot
Click here to buy through Etsy
Countless images of the sun-god Anu in his solar chariot exist, many showing the Father of the Gods holding a bow, perhaps in acknowledgement as his role as judge and protector. The winged sun is an image that is shared by both Mesopotamia and Egypt, in both countries symbolising power, royalty and continuance.

Blessing of the Fish God
Click here to buy through Etsy
This image has been found from the walls of temples and palaces to carved on personal amulets, such was the appeal of the god's blessing. The deity shown here is Enki (or possibly a personification of him), sometimes called Ea, who was one of the most benevolent of the Mesopotamian pantheon. Often he is shown lifting an object to the lips of a human, possibly a fruit from the mesu-tree which was thought to impart long life.

An Interview with Ewen MacIntosh, Star of Brian the Blessed
by Mike Haberfelner
April 2014
Quick Links
Your upcoming movie Brian the Blessed - in a few words,
what's it going to be about, and what can you tell us about your character
in it?
It's going to be a horror film with a twisted love story at
the heart of it. My character is very interesting. He is at first glance
quite childlike but there are things going on under the surface.
What will you draw upon to bring your character
to life, and how much of yourself will we be able to find in Brian? And
speaking of, would you consider yourself at all a religious person?
always important to find as much of yourself in the character as possible.
At the end of the day you have to first convince yourself that you are the
character and then convince the audience! An actor who I will be taking a
lot of inspiration from is Brad Dourif. The character feels very similar
to a lot of the roles he used to play in the 70s/80s.
attracted you to the project in the first place, and to what extent can
you identify with Brian the Blessed's dark theme?
script and Raine McCormack's passion for the project attracted me to it [Raine
McCormack interview - click here]. I love the
dark theme. Most of my favourite films are very very dark.
can you tell us about your director Raine McCormack, and what's your
collaboration like? And how did you two first hook up?
met online through the producer. I think we are on the same wavelength for
sure. Raine is one of those guys who gets things done. His enthusiasm
definitely rubs off on the people round him, which is very important when
you are making a low budget feature!
far as I know, Brian the Blessed is still in its fundraising
stages. Care to talk about the fundraiser for a bit?
is an IndieGoGo campaign which is going pretty well and I think Raine has
other interested parties too. Best ask him about that!
future projects beyond Brian the Blessed?
I have 4
films that I've been involved in all coming out in either 2014 or 2015.
And I am about to start filming a sitcom in Malaysia. Should be
got you into acting in the first place?
I can't even
remember now! I was in every school play from aged 8 onwards. It was just
something I loved doing.
Can you still
remember your first time in front of a film or TV camera, and what was
that experience like?
I was lucky as I was part of a live
comedy sketch show and we decided to add some filmed elements to be
projected on to a screen on stage so we kind of got to spend a fair bit of
time learning as we did it. It was a big help.
Though I'm sure you've long gotten
tired of talking about it by now ... if I don't at least ask, I'm sure to
get tarred and feathered by my readers - so could you talk about The
Office for a bit?
Well it was a great opportunity and a
lot of fun to be involved with. I am constantly amazed by how popular it
still is.
Any other past movies and TV-shows
of yours you'd like to talk about?
I prefer to look to the
How would you
describe yourself as an actor?
I guess I kind of have a
naturalistic style.
Actors (or indeed
actresses) who inspire you?
So so many! Since I mentioned
Brad Dourif earlier I will name some great character actors - Robert
Duvall, Bruce Campbell, Elias Koteas, Jefrey Combs, Sissy Spacek, Michael
Rooker, Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener.
Your favourite movies?
For a Dream, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Kill List,
Reservoir Dogs,
Jesus of Montreal and loads more.
and of course, films you really deplore?

I have a real issue with all these 'found footage' films. I think 95% of
them are utter garbage and I think it's lazy filmmaking. I totally lay
the blame for it at the feet of The Blair Witch Project, which I thought
was terrible. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!
movie's website, Facebook, IndieGoGo, whatever else?
else you are dying to mention and I've merely forgotten to ask?
you have been very thorough. Well done!
