Last Thursday I went to McGregor Casting to screen test for a role in a new feature film The Square, written by successful Aussie actor, Joel Edgerton and directed by his brother Nash: director, actor and stunt man. I met Joel at the test and we played with the scenes I'd prepared. I thought it went well (Joel's feedback was positive "I love what you're doing") and as usual I left putting it all behind me.
I must have done something right as I was recalled to meet with Nash, the director. On Tuesday I returned where I was greeted by Louise Smith, The Square's producer. Louise explained that she had been brought on to produce the post production on Crosslife. She said she "loved" my work in the film. I have to say with all the effort we put into Crosslife, this sort of thing is a pleasure to hear. I met Nash and David Roberts (the film's lead) and we discussed the scene, then I acted it once. Nash asked me to speed it up a bit and I did. I could hear Louise laugh a little at my character and at the end of it Nash said, "That's great. I think you're great. Do you want to do it?" I paused for a moment and then it dawned on me as to what he was saying. "Yeah", I replied as articulate as ever. "Great," he said, "It's yours." He then explained he'd not recalled anyone else, he'd just wanted to see me along side David to see how we'd share the screen. It feels great to get a film role (especially at the screen test) and especially in such great company: director Nash Edgerton, actor Joel Edgerton, producer Louise Smith. Shooting begins in September. AWESOME!

Even the most well-intentioned employers can potentially expose themselves to liability if they are not well versed in the benefits afforded to their sick or disabled employees under state and federal law. The following summary of the relevant law will assist you in understanding what employment practices are lawful or unlawful, and what steps you must take with regard to your sick or disabled employees.
The language in the federal statute, the ADAA, and the Massachusetts statute, General Laws c. 151B are substantially similar. According to state and federal law, employees with a qualified handicap are protected from discrimination on the basis of that handicap, as long as the employee is capable of performing the essential functions of the position with reasonable accommodation. Unwary employers could fall into certain traps regarding their treatment of sick or disabled employees.
Employees are generally considered "handicapped" if their condition limits or restricts a major life activity, even temporarily. The legal definition of major life activities is very broad, including walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, working, thinking, and sleeping, among others. A qualified handicapped person is one who is capable of performing the essential functions of a particular job with reasonable accommodation to his or her handicap. If an employee can be considered a qualified handicapped person, an employer has certain obligations to that employee.
Can the employee perform the essential functions of the job?
Employers are often faced with balancing the needs of running a business against their obligations to their sick or disabled employees. If employees are not capable of performing the primary tasks associated with their position, then employers are not obligated to the employee under disability law. However, if an employee's handicap or illness limits only incidental functions of the position, or tasks that are not performed regularly as part of the position, the employer may owe the employee a duty to offer a reasonable accommodation.
A reasonable accommodation is any adjustment or modification to the way a job is done, an employment practice, or a work environment that makes it possible for an employee to perform the essential functions or his or her position. Even if a handicapped employee is actually performing the job, the employer is obligated to reasonably accommodate the employee if he is performing the job with difficulty. It is important to note that the employer does not have to provide the best accommodation available, or even the accommodation specifically requested by the employee, but instead is obligated to provide only an accommodation that is effective for its purpose. Further, an accommodation that is not likely to enable the employee to perform the essential functions of the position is not considered a reasonable one, and therefore not required.
Most employers recognize that wider doorways or lowered desk spaces are reasonable accommodations to assist disabled employees in performing the essential functions of their positions. However, accommodations that have been found to be reasonable by the courts may surprise some employers. In certain circumstances, employers may be required to reassign nonessential job functions to other employees, permit performance of job functions at alternate locations (such as working from home), or even modify methods of supervision or evaluation. Employers are often surprised to learn that time off from work, even extended periods of time, can be considered a reasonable accommodation. While employers are not required to grant sick or disabled employees open-ended or indefinite leaves of absence, courts have required employers to provide leaves of absence as long as 52 weeks to a disabled employee.
Logically, an employer is not required to provide an accommodation when it is not aware of, or has no reason to know of the employee's illness or disability. Employees are responsible for informing their employer that an accommodation is needed, unless the handicap and the need for an accommodation are known or should be known to the employer. However, if an employee is unable to suggest a reasonable accommodation, the employer is obligated to engage in a dialog with the employee to identify one.
The duty to engage in an interactive dialog is ongoing. Both employers and employees must engage in a good faith interactive discussion to determine whether a reasonable accommodation exists that would permit the employee to perform the essential functions of his job. In some cases, employers may even be required to initiate the discussion if the employee has not done so. It is important to note that employers are obligated to engage in the interactive process even when it believes the requested accommodation is futile. Employers must take note that refusal to engage in the interactive process is in and of itself a violation of discrimination laws.
Of course, the duty to provide sick and disabled employees with reasonable accommodations is not without limit. Employers that can successfully show that providing the employee with a reasonable accommodation would pose an undue hardship to the business are not obligated to do so. For example, if an employer can successfully demonstrate that holding an employee's position open during an extended leave of absence would pose an undue burden to the company, it is not obligated to hold the position open. Considerations specific to each employer, such as the size of the business in proportion to the number of employees, the composition and structure of the employer's workforce, and the nature and costs of the necessary accommodation, will be important in determining an employer's obligation.
In summary, employers must be aware of their obligations when making employment decisions regarding employees or potential employees with known illnesses or disabilities. Employers are advised to consult an employment law attorney to avoid potential exposure to liability.

The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.
Lawrence Durrell's quotes
Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.
Perhaps our only sickness is to desire a truth which we cannot bear rather than to rest content with the fictions we manufacture out of each other.
Truth disappears with the telling of it.
It takes a lot of energy and a lot of neurosis to write a novel. If you were really sensible, you'd do something else.
No one can go on being a rebel too long without turning into an autocrat.
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Guilt always hurries towards its complement, punishment; only there does its satisfaction lie.
Everyone loathes his own country and countrymen if he is any sort of artist.
The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.
Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.
Music is only love looking for words.
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Like all young men I set out to be a genius, but mercifully laughter intervened.
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.
Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.
We are the children of our landscape; it dictates behavior and even thought in the measure to which we are responsive to it.
It is not love that is blind, but jealousy.
A woman's best love letters are always written to the man she is betraying.
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
A city becomes a world when one loves one of it's inhabitants.
I had become, with the approach of night, once more aware of loneliness and time - those two companions without whom no journey can yield us anything.
A city becomes a world when one loves one of its inhabitants.
Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I've been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children.
A number of girls of my acquaintance went to school to the nuns of the Congregational Nunnery, or Sisters of Charity, as they are sometimes called.
It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.
I have a friend who lives in the South Side of Chicago. I helped out at a church charity there where they try to give a bit of cohesion to a desperate area. Everyone was very welcoming.
Northern white people love the Negro in a sort of abstract way, as a race; through a sense of justice, charity, and philanthropy, they will liberally assist in his elevation.
Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but, unlike charity, it should end there.
I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.
If I survive, I will spend my whole life at the oven door seeing that no one is denied bread and, so as to give a lesson of charity, especially those who did not bring flour.
Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.
The system of volunteerism is divisive. It pits one charity against the others for the charity dollar.
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
Welfare distorts behavior, makes one less personally responsible and reduces the role of private charity. This principle applies to corporate welfare.
There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require, in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs.
Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it.
I have been able to travel all over the country and see many places that I probably never would have visited. I have also participated in many charity events for worthy causes.
We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let's-take-care-of-one-another. That's the creative challenge.
I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
Zhuangzi
I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments.
It's very difficult to ignore humanitarian disasters. The royalties from my albums continue to support my charity work.
Harvey never had an original idea or thought in his life. I was out wandering around the country doing charity benefits, mainly, when I asked him to come along.


Designed as a replacement for the 250 GT Series 2 Spyder - the 275 GTS was produced by Pininfarina in Turin - with a limited production run restricted to just 200 examples (of which 14 were right hand drive) - the majority of which were predictably sold in the United States. This makes this pretty convertible rarer than it's Berlinetta brethren and in truth to drive - the car arguably makes a more relaxed and sweeter tourer. This model was made between 1964 and 1966.
The 275 GTS shares the same transaxle arrangement as a GTB and even today represents a really practical and rewarding driving experience.
We have sold a significant proportion of the Ferrari 275 GTS production - including the RHD Ferrari 275 GTS prototype - as well the Ex Jayne Mansfield / Eric Clapton Car - one of the five cars which received the "Chinetti Hot Upgrades" from new at the factory - including 6 carburettors and cast wheels fitted to cope with the extra power.
Ferrari 275 GTS models have rapidly appreciated in the last 3 years - doubtless affected by the meteoric rise of the the GTB - with prices for a 275 GTS ranging from £900,000 - to £1.25m. Special cars like the handful of "Chinetti upgrade models" as well as the 14 RHD models fetch more due to their rarity.

'Very Strong': Volunteers Win Praise for Cape's Pandemic Response
By Jennette Barnes • Apr 30, 2020
Barnstable County Government
Barnstable County health director Sean O'Brien is thanking the many volunteers who are helping Cape Cod respond to the pandemic.
In a press briefing Thursday morning, he thanked those who have volunteered for the county's new grocery delivery service for the eldery and vulnerable, the Medical Reserve Corps, the Community Emergency Response Teams, and more.
They, along with first responders, medical personnel, and people making face masks, deserve the community's gratitude, he said.
"We've always had very strong volunteer organizations here in the county because everybody kind of knows we're on our own," he said, calling the Cape "essentially an island."
While the state reported 252 new fatalities on Wednesday, its highest yet, O'Brien pointed out that the number of people hospitalized has leveled off.
About 3,900 people in Massachusetts are receiving hospital care for COVID-19. That's 6 percent of all cases.
Meanwhile, people continue to seek testing. Fifty-seven vehicles drove through the test site at Cape Cod Community College on Wednesday.

This year I planned my holiday shopping around where I wanted to EAT LUNCH. Since I work in Brooklyn now, I rarely make it into Manhattan anymore and I miss my favorite gluten-free lunch places!
A great place to shop (especially when there is a below-zero windchill) is the Chelsea Market. It is indoors (point 1) and has great shops (point 2) great coffee, sushi from a fish market (always good to pinpoint the source of raw fish) and a totally overwhelming kitchen supply store (Bowery Kitchen Supply). And of course, Friedman's Lunch, which will make you any sandwich on gluten-free bread or bun. YES, Virginia, that is a gluten-free sesame bun.
A hamburger is wildly necessary when making important shopping decisions. And a glass of wine. And some herb-tossed thick-cut french fries. One must build up their resistance before the epic competitive eating of the holidays!


The College's fund accounts do not have a negative balance at the end of the fiscal year unless such an instance exists for a planned reason, such as an anticipated reimbursement. If any of the College's fund accounts have a negative balance at year-end, the negative cash balance shall be reviewed by the President and Chief Financial Officer. In the event the negative balance is not due to a planned reason, the President shall develop a plan to rectify the negative balance and shall report the matter to the Board at its first scheduled meeting in the new fiscal year.

Cheltenham School District Adopts "Safe2Say Something" Anonymous Reporting System
The Cheltenham School District has adopted the "Safe2Say Something" (S2SS) anonymous reporting system for grades 7-12. Mandated under the Pennsylvania General Assembly's 2018 Act 44, the program educates students and adults to recognize and report at-risk behavior – especially on social media.
The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (SSARS) is provided through Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), a nationwide non-profit organization with programs in 50 states, encompassing more than 10,000 schools and 5.5 million trained students and adults. SHP has the track record, reputation and knowledge to work effectively with children, parents and teachers to improve school safety and culture, and is funding to provide and sustain the program at no cost to the district.
Utilizing the S2SS 24/7 Crisis Center hotline (844-saf2say / 844-723-2729), mobile app (Apple Store | Google Play) or website safe2sayPA.org, students and adults can report at-risk behavior anonymously. Submitted tips are triaged by certified crisis counselors then emailed, texted and/or called back for action by the school / school district. Many conversations about at-risk behavior occur on social media, making it critical to teach students what to look for in text, video and photos, while empowering them to act quickly to help a fellow student. Students are also taught their first action should be to get help by talking to a trusted adult.
CHS and CBK students and building personnel will be trained on the system by a SHP representative in the near future. The district has introduced the system to high school and middle school parents.
S2SS intends to help stop school shootings, suicides and gun threats; reduce bullying and cyberbullying; and intervene upon cutting, drug use, racial conflicts and other violent and victimization acts.

BMW S1000RR Vs Suzuki Hayabusa - Speed
Mar 09,2012 Ruman Devmane Read News PRINT
Mar 09,2012 Ruman Devmane Read News
Is it okay if I tell you that this is purely an observational account? That I haven't actually ridden these motorcycles (okay, I have ridden the 'Busa a fair bit before) for this story and that what's to follow is simply what I have absorbed from the presence of these iconic motorcycles? In fact, the two bikes you see here have nothing in common. Except, of course, for being the most iconic modern day motorcycles of our times. Spectator sport of the finest sort, this.
Yes, the 2012 Kawasaki ZX-14R is the fastest production motorcycle in the world and there are motorcycles that are way more beautiful than the two machines you see here, but who said this was a war of specification sheets? To let you in on a fact, the Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa is one of my more favourite motorcycles. The fascination for the 'Busa began, obviously, from reading reviews in international magazines. Most, no, everyone was ticked off by the looks – references to potatoes, walruses (walrii?) and ugly has-been celebrities were plenty – but none could come up with a denial to its status of being a true 200 mph (320 kph) production motorcycle.
The Hayabusa
To me, it was a fable. It didn't really exist except in the hands of a lucky few, until an active element of the imported motorcycle grey market in India showed an excited 11-year old me four of them. As the black/grey 'Busa was awoken, I was being slow-flame cooked into a believer. Thanks to the Indian film industry, the Hayabusa has enjoyed celebrity status in the country, so much that the word Hayabusa has become synonymous with the word 'superbike'.
The argument that the Hayabusa is fat still holds true and now, because of some sissy, preposterous pact, it is limited to 300 kph. Safety concerns, they say. Ha! May as well have given it fishnet clothing and called it Spidey, for the love of humour. So now, the 'Busa is fat, traditionally ugly and isn't the fastest in the world. Oh, and while it's gained much popularity for being an absolute darling to ride in traffic and still being quite a hoot to ride fast around corners, as far as scorching the race track is concerned, the 'Busa is far from ace.
So, what then, is so special about the Hayabusa in the current scenario? And then, as if to really rub salt in the wounds, BMW Motorrad decided to show its most appropriate finger to the world, and unveiled this…
The S1000RR
My theory is, when BMW's cars began softening up, it was so because they put together their sharpest brains and devised a plan for total world domination. Typical German behaviour, no? Except, the domination in this context referred to the motorcycle world. BMW Motorrad has been creating motorcycles, most of which have attained instant legend status. There's too many to hold up as examples, but I'll say R1200 GS and you'll know there's no point debating the BMW Motorrad case. They make solid, reliable, characterful motorcycles and that's it. But this brutal? And then, as if to really scare the motorcycle world, they went ahead and gave the S1000RR that good cop/bad cop bodywork.
One side wants to kill everything in sight, the other wants to fly past, in a silent but powerful whoosh. Either way, like the Hayabusa's curriculum vitae has proven, you can't argue too long against the word 'speed' – 305 kph. That's the S1000RR's top speed and knowing Vicky's love for stock motorcycles (zilch, that is), it's no surprise his S1000RR is already surrounded by yet-to-be-unwrapped performance parts. It's so fresh off the factory – just 350 km on the clock – the bright yellow paint hasn't even dried yet! Okay, kidding.
The last day of 2011
Two motorcycles appeared in the mirrors of the parked Yeti I was in, slowing down, forks diving, kicking up tarmac dust – motorcycles that could kill the amateur. Mediocrity was dragged by the collar and kicked out of the bar by the makers of both these modern day icons. You see, regardless of facts and figures, which anyway are in their favour, the two motorcycles have an aura. An aura is not a specific quantity. It can't be slotted in on a specification sheet. In a way, these are the Michael Schumacher and Valentino Rossi of the production motorcycle world. In due time, the acceleration timings will be beaten, the top speed records will be surpassed, no doubt. You can rob the motorcycles of their rankings, but there is a certain presence – not limited to dimensions/mass – to these motorcycles that can't be quantified.
I agree I'm contradicting myself by laying much stress on the 'speed' factor, since I've previously called it an academic value with little realistic relevance. But suffixed to the speed bit are the circumstances under which these motorcycles came about. When the Hayabusa was launched, the superbike world had just about begun believing in the leaner, meaner, fitter theory. Flab was being given the cold shoulder and the big Jap four – Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki – were going head to head, leaving the European manufacturers' cash registers worryingly empty. And out of nowhere, the Suzuki Hayabusa pulled a near-50 kph advantage over the previous fastest motorcycle, the Honda Blackbird 1100XX.
Cut to 2011 and BMW has done a complete turnaround. Payback time for the Japanese! Rather than being gradual, increasing horsepower one unit per year, BMW has simply set the benchmark. Now it's for the Japs to worry and head back to the drawing board to come up with an answer. I'm not taking sides; all this action means spicier options for the motorcycle enthusiast (you and me) for when we're ready to break the bank, right? Like I said at the start, this is spectator sport. The finest, no, fastest sort.

Dismissing an employee can be expensive. However, some employers add to the cost by being overly litigious. We recently argued, and won, a case at the Ontario Court of Appeal that could have been resolved at mediation. Learn more about the case and pitfalls to avoid.
You terminate an employee, he/she challenges the termination asking for a longer notice period
but you have concerns they are not doing their part to find another job. Can you just raise
concerns to reduce your damages or does the law require more?
Employer bears the Onus
In cases of wrongful dismissal, it is the employer's burden to prove that an employee has not
done enough to mitigate their damages by finding comparable work. This means an employer
must lead evidence to demonstrate an employee could have obtained a new job more quickly if
they had made reasonable efforts to do so. It is a very high standard to meet.
Comparable Job vs. Any Job
In Lake v. La Presse we represented the General Manager who had been employed with the
company for just over four (4) years managing the digital marketing team. She was dismissed
and claimed wrongful dismissal damages of 10 months inclusive of her salary, benefits, pension
and bonus. At a Motion for Summary Judgment, a Court awarded Ms. Lake eight (8) months of
notice but arbitrarily reduced it to six (6) months because she believed Ms. Lake should have
started applying for jobs earlier and should have considered positions as a sales representative if
she could not find work as a senior manager. A copy of the decision in Lake v. La Presse (2022)
Inc. is available here.
We appealed the decision and the Ontario Court of Appeal agreed with our submissions and
overturned the motion judge's decision. The Court found that Ms. Lake was only obligated to
apply for "comparable" positions. She was not obligated to accept a demotion and apply for any
available job. Furthermore, the Court held that while a judge can make inferences those
inferences must be grounded in evidence. In other words, a judge cannot assume that:
i. comparable jobs were available to a dismissed employee,
ii. an employee would have been qualified for these jobs; and
iii. the employee would have been hired had they applied
Lessons for Employers
There are three key takeaways for employers from the Court of Appeal's decision.
Litigation is Uncertain. However, you can take risk off the table by identifying reasonable settlement options and engaging in mediation early in the process.
The bar to challenge an employee's mitigation efforts is very high. Given that legal hurdle, prepare settlement offers that reflect that reality and be prepared to roll up your sleeves and participate in meaningful discussion before the litigation process triggers an emotional response and causes the parties to dig into their legal positions.
In a wrongful dismissal case, the employer should be prepared to lead evidence about a plaintiff employee's failure to mitigate including copies of job postings that employee could have applied for or flaws in the criteria used to look for another job.

CBS blackout leads to increased piracy, ratings drop for top shows
By Shawn Knight on August 8, 2013, 17:45 28 comments
An unresolved dispute between Time Warner and CBS has left millions of cable subscribers without access to CBS programming. As of last Friday, more than three million Time Warner subscribers (as well as Bright House and Dish users) have been without CBS programming which includes the popular Showtime network.
It's pretty much a given that when you take away legal access to programming, consumers will turn to alternate methods to fill the void. That's exactly what happened over the course of this week as the blackout has triggered a surge in television show piracy.
To highlight the behavior, TorrentFreak monitored U.S. BitTorrent downloads for the popular CBS show Under the Dome. When comparing data from the week before the blackout with this past Monday's episode during the blackout, they found piracy increased 34 percent on average. In New York City, the relative piracy rate more than doubled.
Unsurprisingly, the show also recorded a season low ranking this past Monday during the blackout. The program pulled in 10.49 million viewers this week compared to 11.41 million last week.
Ratings aside, the dispute between CBS and Time Warner doesn't appear any closer to a resolution. Time Warner recently offered to include CBS programming as an a la carte option for subscribers but CBS dismissed the idea as a sham.
Either way, I wouldn't expect this to drag on too much longer as football season is just around the corner and CBS is a key broadcasting partner of the NFL and the SEC.

Fellowship Adventures
My Fellowship finished a stage, but I didn't get any rewards. Why is that?
To benefit from your Fellowship's progress in a Fellowship Adventure, you will have to participate in the Adventure as well. This participation is considered per stage, so you should make at least one contribution to any Waypoint in a stage to receive the rewards at the end of that stage.
Example: if your Fellowship completes the first three stages, and you have invested in Waypoints during stages 1 and 3, you will receive the rewards for stages 1 and 3, but not stage 2, because you haven't contributed to the progress of that stage.

Mac and devin go to highschool funny parts
Monday, May 25, 2020 Monday, May 25, 2020 admin
Trust me, sober or fucking obliterated that movie just plain out sucks.. It's a shame Snoop Dogg sunk to that level but he's just getting paid.. Joined: Feb 13, Messages: 4, Likes Received: 3, I don't think being high would change much. It's not a good movie regardless. Take it for what it is though, a low budget flick about two dudes getting high. IMO I think it'd be better if they didn't even have the school plot, just got high and shit for an hour.
The only good movie with Snoop Dogg is Starsky and Hutch. Joined: Jun 28, Messages: 1, Likes Received: 1, So they are basically admitted how shitty the movie is? Well that's cool not that I ever cared to bother watching. Joined: Jun 29, Messages: 1, Likes Received: I bought it at FYE 2 days ago Of course I knew it was a low budget movie but oh well..
Too busy But one day I'll watch it soon! He tests out hypotheses via sticking a plug into some Listerine. Of course, Mac stumbles upon the catalyst by ashing a blunt into the mouthwash solution, thereby giving them both what they want and proving that weed saves the day. What kind of people are stoners? More importantly: can we care about them?
More TV Shows & Movies
Are we capable of that kind of love? Like, there are long, long montages where we watch Snoop and Wiz smoke weed out of a coterie of pieces, just that for about ten minutes or so: spliff, bong, sherlock, bong while wearing funny hats, bubbler, one-ie, another spliff, gas masks, and then, as if unveiling the Ark of the Covenant, a vaporizer. There are fisheye lenses….
In these excruciatingly long, humorless scenes where a bunch of turds take blunts to the neck and drool out nonsense, using cannabis is workmanlike, pregnant with wasted time and irritating company.
Have you ever watched someone smoke weed when you yourself were not smoking? Probably not, because there is little else on this earth so boring. Not explained in the plot, but in the sleeve of his jacket. Which: even in his downspiral she offers to bail him out of trouble and get him into Yale.
We're supposed to believe that this guy is in high school? He doesn't just lurk around the high school, but he actively participates and goes to classes. In other words, this is the dumbest movie I have ever seen. Mac is the resident drug dealer.

Mac & Devin Go to High School?

We need you!;
He sells pot to every teenager in school and no one really thinks it's strange that an AARP member is selling pot to high school students while being a student himself. So there is plenty of 41 year-old Snoop Dogg walking around high school hallways checking out 17 year-old girls. Devin is the school's smartest student, but his friendship with Mac soon derails him. He starts smoking pot, gets a full body tattoo, and basically changes into whatever Snoop Dogg was like when he was really high school age.
Essentially what the movie is saying is, it's better to be a loser pothead than a person with an actual, you know, future. Any movie that starts off with a computer-generated joint that looks like it was animated by a first-year graphic design student in twenty minutes, is a movie that you should probably avoid. This movie reeks of smoke-filled writing sessions where baked writers tossed around ideas like they were, well, high.
But it's all happening in the assistant principal's office and the PA speaker is accidentally turned on. But the conversation they're having about the blunt makes them sound like they're about to have sex.
Mac & Devin Go to High School Blu-ray Review | High Def Digest
Yeah, that'd be the funniest shit I've ever seen! I could go on and on about how idiotic this movie is. How it doesn't even set out to do what it wants to do. It can't even get stoner comedy right and, really, that should be one of the easiest comedic genres out there. The fact that this somehow got made into a movie is infuriating.
The idea that this movie is actually taking up physical space on hundreds of thousands of Blu-ray Discs is enraging. I don't understand who would buy this movie. I don't understand who would waste their time with it. There's comedy to be had with stoners, watch 'Half Bake' for a good example. This movie is simply a waste of space, devoid of any funny moment.
There's no need to do drugs.

Early yearsEdit
Smith attended Southridge High School in Miami, Florida. In football, he was a three-year letterman, a two-time All-Dade County selection as both a running back and a safety, and as a junior, rushed for 1,125 yards and 15 touchdowns.
College careerEdit
Smith attended the University of Central Florida, where he played for the UCF Knights football team from 2004 to 2007. He had a standout college career as a Knight, becoming UCF's all-time leading rusher after just three seasons (2005–07). He started 34 out of 36 games for the Knights, establishing new career records with 905 carries for 4,864 yards (5.37 avg) and 45 touchdowns. His 4,864 yards rank second in Conference USA history. His 180 points scored in 2007 rank fourth on the NCAA season-record chart. During his junior campaign Smith set a major college record of 450 rushing attempts, topping the old mark of 405 carries by Marcus Allen (USC) in 1981 and falling just 62 yards shy of setting the NCAA season-rushing record of 2,628 yards set by former Lions great, Barry Sanders (Oklahoma State) in 1988.[1]
Early in his last season, Smith was touted as a dark horse candidate for the Heisman trophy,[2][3] and ended up finishing in eighth place with 55 total points and three first-place votes[4] to become only the second UCF player (after Daunte Culpepper, his future Lions teammate) to receive Heisman votes.
He was also the first consensus All-American from UCF,[5] being selected to almost every 2007 All-American First Team, including SI.com's.[6]

Professional careerEdit
Pre-DraftEdit
Smith ran 40-yard dash times of 4.45 and 4.47 seconds at his Pro Day.
He also achieved a 33.5" vertical jump and benched 225 lbs. 15 times. Smith was projected as a third- to fourth-round pick.[8]
Detroit LionsEdit
Smith was drafted by the Detroit Lions after they traded up with the Miami Dolphins for the first pick of the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He signed a 3-year, $1.79 million contract on July 22.
After an impressive preseason showing, Smith was named the starting running back for the Lions for the 2008 season. Smith would be backed by former Cincinnati Bengals star running back Rudi Johnson, whom the Lions had signed just days before the first game of the season. Smith was benched after week four and was briefly replaced by Johnson, before winning back the starting spot for the duration of the season.[9]
In 2008, Smith led the Lions in rushing attempts (238), rushing yards (976; fourth in the league among rookie rushers), rushing average (4.1) and rushing touchdowns (8; third-highest tally by a rookie in team history).
In Week 8 against the St. Louis Rams Smith tackled James Butler off an interception in the end zone for a safety after Butler ran out and then ran back in the end zone.
On March 3, 2011, the Lions declined to tender an offer to Smith, making him an unrestricted free agent for the upcoming NFL season.[10] However, on November 7, he was re-signed by Detroit. The move became necessary after Jahvid Best was sidelined following his second concussion of the year.[11] On November 20, Smith ran for 140 yards rushing on 16 carries and 61 yards on four receptions. He ran for two touchdowns and caught another as the Lions came back from a 17-point deficit to defeat the Carolina Panthers 49-35.[12] On November 24, he was carted off the sidelines after a non-contact injury to his lower leg during the second quarter, it was later revealed that he had a mild ankle sprain with an undetermined return date.[13] After missing several games in December, Kevin Smith returned to the field in week 16 of the 2011 season and found the end zone once through the air and once on the ground as the Lions defeated the Chargers 38-10. Smith's second touchdown, a 6-yard run in the third quarter, gave the Lions 51 touchdowns on the season, establishing a new franchise high. Smith finished the game with 15 carries for 49 yards and two catches for 12 for a combined 61 yards of offense.[14]

Babymoov Babyni Pop-up Play Area – A Mum of Six & Wife of One!
It's is fantastic! It really does just pop up and is perfect for a little bod to play and sleep in. It comes in a light weight zip up bag with handle which will easily fit in the basket on a buggy so is easy to carry around.
The removable comfy mattress fixes securely to the base of the pen with Velcro straps and is soft and machine washable (great because you know there'll be sick and poo!). It has a canopy, mosquito net and 3 detachable toys. The best bit, especially for in the garden or on the beach, it has a sun protection factor 50+ which you can easily zip on/off.
I like knowing Milo will be safe in the sun and not rolling off towards the sea! He can sit and eat his food and sleep in here quite happily. There's enough room to put a snug seat in and extra toys to play with.
First impressions are that I really like it, but I'll let you know how it holds up on our holiday!
The playpen retails at £59.99 but is currently on offer on Amazon for £42.29 (as at 16/08/17) Amazon.
What do you do with your little one on the beach to keep them safe and contained and not chomping on the sand?

News » Schools funding rethink is urged
Schools funding rethink is urged
14/06/2007 The Belfast Telegraph
A change in the funding mechanism of Ulster schools would 'revolutionise' Northern Ireland's education system, it was claimed today.
Under present Department of Education funding arrangements, primary schools receive £1,500 less per child to educate students than their secondary counterparts.
The Ulster Teachers' Union (UTU) claims that a small proportion of the peace dividend could balance this funding inequality.
Earlier this month, over 360 primary head teachers from across the province held a crunch meeting in Cookstown.
They agreed a list of demands to be put to the Department of Education which included parity of funding between the primary and secondary sectors.
They are also calling for a moratorium on any further new education initiatives for the next three years, "vastly increased funding" for the revised curriculum and that computerised testing of pupils in P5 will not proceed until appropriate funding and training is in place.
A statement agreed by the Northern Ireland Primary Principals Action Group said: "The department needs to work quickly to rebuild the trust of primary principals who, for too long, have been working with grossly inadequate resources and trying to manage an ever increasing workload."
Stanley Poots, president of the Ulster Teachers' Union and principal of Dromara Primary in Co Down, said today: "Under the present system an 11-year-old child is 'worth' £1,500 less than a 12-year-old! There is just no justification for the differential that exists at present.
Mr Poots said class sizes could be reduced by using recently qualified teachers who are being forced to leave Northern Ireland to find work.
"We have many unemployed teachers who could be used to help reduce class sizes," he said.
"Equality of funding for primary schools to the same level as secondary schools would be the greatest positive change that could be made. It would revolutionise our whole system and make all the other changes facing teachers workable and meaningful."

Glastonbury based production company Audio Factory has two sides; founded by Dave Perry and Arran Dutton when the pair produced 'Unholy Behaviour', a controversial five part audio series, the production partners worked with local acting talent to produce other scripted entertainment content with three other comedy and drama one-offs. In addition to this they established a commercial presence for the business producing voiceover, advertisement and audio book content for local organisations, national advertising agencies and on well-known brands for companies abroad. However, with Audio Factory soon looking to get back to its creative roots, the foundation of The Fix has provided the perfect outlet to introduce their content to new audiences.
