If my job was "The Muppet Show" I would be Scooter. I spend most of my time running around backstage with a headset on keeping the frogs seperate from the pigs and the old men in the audience quiet, metaphorically speaking of course.
I'm writing this from work where I'm waiting for the latest theatre troupe renting our theatre to get the heck out of here so I can go home. They're putting on a country jamboree variety show that is essentially a two hour long episode of "Hee Haw," take that how you will. I've still got three more weeks to go with this show and I'm already waking up in the middle of the night hearing banjos.
Working at night has given me a wonderful opportunity during the day to be outside writing with my laptop on the deck. And today I crossed the 60,000 word mark and wrote 28 words more than anything I've ever written in my life. Everything after this is uncharted waters baby. I know the story is strating to round teh final bend but I'm not exactly sure whether its going to take 10 or 20k words to finish it up. Guess we'll find out soon, won't we?

Out of the pain, a spirit rises
By Warwick McFadyen
October 20, 2012 — 3.00am
IN HIS time-worn hands, Archie Roach is holding the cover of his new album, Into the Bloodstream. He is explaining the vibrant ochre artwork, because it tells a story. The cover consists, Roach says, of two images. One flows into the other; two streams are part of one story. His story.
On the left-hand side is a blood cell, filtered through yellow; it abuts an extract of a painting by Robert Lowe snr of the Aboriginal mission at Framlingham, south-west Victoria, where Roach spent part of his childhood. He looks closely at the cover. Eighteen dots represent the mission huts. He picks the one he lived in as a child. He can remember those who lived there with him, before he was taken away. If family is all, then he lost everything. Many years later, he would write Took the Children Away.
More than 20 years after Roach recorded that song on his album Charcoal Lane, he revisits Framlingham in his new work. The last song, one of his favourites on the album, is Old Mission Road. Its sentiment is ''really important to me'', he says.
It's more than a walk down memory lane; it's a lament on lost childhood and the love lost between a mother, father and son. Roach was placed with white people - given new parents, in effect. What he was given, in reality, was a stolen life. As an adult, he fell apart in search of the truth. He turned to the outside world for answers, and to the bottle. He lived on the streets. He lived for the next drop. But he also found, among the ruins, love in the form of Ruby Hunter. They were just teenagers, but they became inseparable. They found a future in music. She was his muse. Hunter died in February 2010, aged 54.

Later that year, Roach had a stroke while on tour in the Kimberley. Less than 12 months later, he was found to have cancer and had half a lung removed. He asked his doctors before the operation if it would have an effect and they told him no. ''I was worried I wouldn't be able to sing again.''
A month out of hospital, he picked up the guitar tentatively, and found he could still sing. ''It was a big relief.'' The first song he sang was Weeping in the Forest.
Last week, Roach was doing interviews in Melbourne for his new work. ''I'm good,'' he says, when asked how he is feeling. ''Yeah, I'm good.''
His presence fills the room. He has a quietude and solidness that belie the recent physical and emotional storms that have buffeted him. He is not yet 60. There is a big, wide, deep history within his frame. It courses through him - down into his core, and then just under the surface. It's skin and soul deep.
Into the Bloodstream is built on pain. Roach says in the liner notes that in making the album, he learnt to see pain differently. ''My recent bouts of illness, I'm sure, are a result of the Pain [he caps the word] of being removed from my family at a young age and more recently, the loss of someone I loved so dearly.
''But Pain can also bring about change in one's life for the better, we can choose to ignore the Pain until it becomes unbearable or we can do something. I used to think that letting go of the Pain was the only way of getting better but that may not be necessarily so. You see some events in my life I will never ever truly get over and the Pain will always be there, but I can do something about [it].''
He describes it as good medicine. The resulting album is good medicine. ''When I was doing it,'' he says, ''I was thinking that I was starting to feel better. I'm fortunate that I have music to channel it. Some people don't have that. I try to get the message across that you can do something to turn it around to your advantage.'' This turning of pain is a feat of willpower. In essence, Roach has become an alchemist to alter the corrosive effect of loss and trauma into the creation of songs. It wasn't easy without his muse.
''It was really hard just to write songs and create again,'' Roach says. ''I thought with Ruby's passing all that had gone - the drive and the creative spirit.''
He pauses, closes his eyes and searches for the words. ''How do you say what's in your heart when the reason for words [is] gone? How can I listen to the birds or witness the blessed dawn; she was the reason for words.
''This album probably wouldn't have been done if I hadn't realised she was the one who gave me inspiration to write and record. It wasn't easy, but I slowly got through it and it became something worth grabbing.''
What Roach has grabbed, with the aid of producer Craig Pilkington and an extended family of musicians, composers and singers, such as Paul and Dan Kelly, Lou Bennett, Emma Donovan, Vika and Linda Bull, and community and indigenous choirs, is the joy of music.
Out of pain he has boarded the gospel train, slowing down every now and then into country or balladry. It swings and sweats. It spiritualises. Pilkington helped steer Roach down that road. Roach loved the idea. ''I listened to a lot of soul singers when I was young - Mahalia Jackson, Otis Redding and Solomon Burke,'' he says.
''The music you listen to, you try to sing it.''
To Pilkington, producing Roach was a ''real privilege'' and ''as good as it gets''. The album arose in the wake of Hunter's passing.
Roach recalls that afterwards, he found some old recordings she had done ''and we were working on that at Craig's studio and Craig started talking about some songs he'd demoed of mine that had never made it onto an album''.
''He said, 'If you ever want to do another album, I'm putting my hand up,' and eventually it came up to do a more soulful, more gospel album.'' For Pilkington, this path into soul took Roach's singing into different areas. ''We explored new areas with his voice,'' the producer says. ''It was inspiring; higher and lower in range, energetic and spiritual.''
The gospel feel was ''pure elation''. The jumped-up rhythm allowed Roach to indulge an ambition. He had always wanted to write a train song. Big Black Train, however, has a twist to it.
It has a cautionary message, not the wind-at-the-back-of-your-head motif of traditional gospel tunes, with their customary ''this train is bound for glory'' line.
In Big Black Train, Roach took a different direction. ''This one wasn't bound for glory; more like a warning not to get on this train.''
With Hunter's death, Roach found he came to rely on the judgment of Pilkington and Paul Kelly. ''Paul, he's always been with me [Kelly produced Charcoal Lane with Steve Connolly]. I trust him implicitly with my songs,'' Roach says. ''When I lost Ruby, I didn't have that sounding board, but Paul and Craig became that sounding board.''
Hunter's spirit runs through Into the Bloodstream. In the achingly beautiful Mulyawongk, Roach entwines her life and the land. Indeed, from the opening (and title) track, Roach has created a seamless blending of the place of spirit and the spirit of place.
Next month, he will begin a series of concerts. How does he get fit for performing?
''You've got to get up and you sing every day.''
■Into the Bloodstream is out now. Archie Roach will perform at the Arts Centre, Melbourne, on November 15, as part of the Australasian Worldwide Music Expo. awme.com.au

BW Energy today provides an update on the operation and development of the Dussafu Marin license in Gabon. The Company will publish its financial report for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 on Friday, 19 February 2021. Gross production from the Tortue field averaged approximately 13,500 barrels of oil per day in the fourth quarter of 2020, amounting to a total gross production of 1.24 million barrels of oil for the period. BW Adolo had scheduled downtime of 11 days in October for its annual maintenance program and to comply with Gabonese production allocations to meet the nation's OPEC quotas. BW Energy completed two liftings in the quarter, realising an average price of approximately USD 46.5 per barrel. The latter lifting will be paid to the Company in January 2021. Production cost (excluding royalties) was USD 22.7 per barrel. This includes approximately USD 2.2 million of additional costs related to handling the COVID-19 pandemic in the quarter. BW Energy's share of gross production was approximately 914,000 barrels of oil. Net sold volume, which is the basis for revenue recognition in the financial statement, was 1.26 million barrels including approximately 162.000 barrels of fourth quarter DMO deliveries and an over-lift position of around 41,000 barrels at the end of the period. Execution of Dussafu development plan is progressing with the recent award of a drilling contract for one development well (DTM-7H) and one exploration well. Additionally, BW Energy holds an option for another exploration well subject to the results of the drilling campaign. In November 2020, BW Energy concluded on an alternative development plan for the Hibiscus/Ruche satellite field, utilising a converted jack-up as an offshore installation. Planning for the Hibiscus Alpha conversion project is progressing with focus on structural engineering and yard selection. The use of a converted jack-up is expected to reduce capital investments by around USD 100 million compared to constructing and installing a new wellhead platform. BW Energy had a cash balance of USD 120 million at 31 December 2020, compared to USD 145 million at 30 September 2020. The decrease is mainly due to the abovementioned working capital impact of the December lifting and previously announced payments for the acquisition of two jack-ups. For further information, please contact: Knut R. Sæthre, CFO BW Energy, +47 91 11 78 76 ir@bwenergy.no About BW Energy: BW Energy is a growth E&P company with a differentiated strategy targeting proven offshore oil and gas reservoirs through low risk phased developments. The Company has access to existing FPSOs to reduce time to first oil and cashflow with lower investments than traditional offshore developments. The main assets are 73.5% of the producing Dussafu Marine Permit offshore Gabon and a 95% interest in the Maromba field in Brazil, both operated by the Company. Total net 2P+2C reserves were 247 million barrels at the start of 2020. This information is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
(Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co. heir Jay Y. Lee was sentenced to two years and six months in prison over bribery charges, a dramatic conclusion to a years-long graft trial that had inflamed outrage in the country over the cozy relationships between government and business.Monday's sentencing lands the top decision maker at the world's biggest electronics company behind bars at a time of rising competition and global uncertainty. The Seoul High Court first jailed Lee in 2017 after convicting the billionaire for his role in a corruption scandal that toppled former president Park Geun-hye. The Samsung Group's de facto leader served a year in prison but was released in February 2018 after his original five-year term was halved and suspended. The Supreme Court overturned that verdict and ordered a retrial in 2019.Lee, 52, has been embroiled in a legal fight that started four years ago and stemmed from a controversial merger in 2015. The Samsung executive was accused of offering horses and other payments to a friend of the former president to win support for his formal succession at the corporation. The Supreme Court upheld a 20-year prison term for Park last week, citing wide-ranging charges including bribery related to Samsung."This is shocking news for Samsung, but Samsung should wrap up this legal wrangling and move forward," said Chae Yi-bai, a former South Korean lawmaker who has worked at a non-profit shareholder activist organization. "Since Lee already spent one year in prison, there will be one and a half years of a leadership vacuum."Shares of Samsung Electronics fell more than 4% after the sentence was read out loud.An attorney for Lee called the decision "regrettable." Samsung Electronics declined to comment on the outcome.Why Jail Threat Hangs Over Samsung Billionaire Again: QuickTakeThe vacuum atop the world's largest producer of memory chips, smartphones and consumer appliances comes as the Covid-19 pandemic is exacerbating rising uncertainty around the U.S.-Chinese relationship and intensifying competition. While Samsung's daily business is run by an army of managers, Lee's absence may stall or complicate massive investments or strategic longer-term moves. The executive has played an active role at the company, frequently joining government-related and public events after he was released from the prison.Shin Se-don, an emeritus professor of economics at Sookmyung Women's University, called the prison sentence "too excessive" and warned that there could be a backlash against the government, given the importance of the Samsung Group to the country."Lee might be able to manage the company from the jail, but there will be some setback," said Shin. "The jailing of Lee will give an emotional shock to the people. Samsung is a backbone of our economy and people will be upset about the result."During the last hearing on Dec. 30, Lee read out a lengthy personal apology over the case -- reiterating pledges he first made in May -- stressing his effort to make Samsung company great while pledging not to repeat past wrongdoings, and pledging not to pass down power to his children. Lee's ascension to the chairmanship of Samsung after his father's death in October is likely to be delayed until he goes free.Separately, he faces another case related to the controversial merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries in 2015, which includes allegations ranging from violation of capital markets law to a breach of duty. Lee will have to attend hearings in that case while serving his time in jail.(Updates with ex-lawmaker's comment in fourth paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Signal and Telegram are also growing in China - for now
As fears over WhatsApp's privacy policies send millions of users in the West to Signal and Telegram, the two encrypted apps are also seeing a slight user uptick in China, where WeChat has long dominated and the government has a tight grip on online communication. Following WhatsApp's pop-up notification reminding users that it shares their data with its parent Facebook, people began fleeing to alternate encrypted platforms. Telegram added 25 million just between January 10-13, the company said on its official Telegram channel, while Signal surged to the top of the App Store and Google Play Store in dozens of countries, TechCrunch learned earlier.

22 States, D.C. File Court Brief To Reverse FCC Net Neutrality Rollback
by Samuel Abasi Posted on August 21st, 2018
Washington, DC, USA: Twenty-two state attorneys general and the District of Columbia have asked a U.S. appeals court to reinstate net neutrality rules that barred internet providers from throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes.
The group, led by New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, originally filed suit in January after the FCC voted in December to roll back the Obama-era policy. They state in a new brief filed Tuesday that a "free and open internet is critical to our democracy."
"By repealing net neutrality, the FCC is allowing internet service providers to put their profits before consumers while controlling what we see, do, and say online," Underwood wrote.
The brief argues that the "FCC's order is arbitrary and capricious because it puts consumers at risk of abusive practices by broadband providers, jeopardizes public safety" and that it "unlawfully purports to preempt state and local regulation of broadband service."
"For more than fifteen years, the Federal Communications Commission has agreed that an open Internet free from blocking, throttling, or other interference by service providers is critical to ensure that all Americans have access to the advanced telecommunications services that have become essential for daily life. The recent Order represents a dramatic and unjustified departure from this long-standing commitment," the brief states.
The FCC was too credulous in accepting industry promises "to refrain from harmful practices," the officials said, "notwithstanding substantial record evidence showing that [internet service] providers have abused and will abuse their gatekeeper roles in ways that harm consumers and threaten public safety."
The coalition of 23 Attorneys General collectively represents over 165 million people and includes the Attorneys General of New York, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
In June, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) put into effect a new rule, "Restoring Internet Freedom," to replace regulation that ensured internet providers treated all websites and content equally.
FCC chairman Ajit Pai defended his agency's policy shift in June, saying that the new rules will provide a "light touch approach" that produces "tremendously positive" benefits for consumers.
The legal briefs reflect a widening front in the multi-pronged campaign by consumer groups and tech companies to rescue regulations that originally barred providers from blocking websites or slowing them down. With the FCC's changes, internet service providers may legally manipulate internet traffic as it travels over their infrastructure, so long as they disclose their practices to consumers.
Another group representing Mozilla — the maker of the Firefox web browser — as well as Etsy, Vimeo and a number of consumer organizations said the FCC's core rule changes made no logical sense and improperly conflate high-speed internet service with online applications.
In justifying the deregulation, the FCC had said broadband is more like an information service than a telecommunications service. The distinction is important because the legal classification determines the extent to which the FCC may regulate the service providers. For example, the "telecommunications" classification allowed the FCC, in 2015, to apply stricter rules to internet service providers that not only banned the blocking of websites but also imposed new obligations on carriers meant to safeguard customer privacy.
The FCC said in its rule change last year that although many people no longer rely on their internet service provider for crucial applications such as email or search, many providers still maintain these applications.
What's more, the agency said, all internet service providers perform tasks that fall under the definition of an information service, such as interpreting what a user means when they type "fcc.gov" into their browsers and translating it into an IP address that servers can understand. This system, known as the Domain Name System, is what enables people who are connected to the internet to get from one site to another.
"While many popular uses of the internet have shifted over time," the FCC's order said, "the record reveals that broadband internet access service continues to offer information service capabilities that typical users both expect and rely upon."
But tech companies and consumer groups told the court Monday that third-party services routinely carry out those same functions, and that ISPs cannot lay claim to lighter regulation just because a portion of their business is involved in performing them.
"The FCC could not have reasonably concluded that a drop of DNS and caching in a sea of transmission transformed the service into something that could properly be called an information service," the brief said.
The overall impression, the group said, is that of trying to deregulate all roads that lead to hotels by simply reclassifying the roads themselves as hotels.
"Never mind, continues the builder, that the road itself does not provide guests with any lodging, business conferencing, or beach recreation services," the brief said. "That is the essence of what the FCC argues."
The FCC has a court deadline in October to file its response.
EARLIER : FCC Net Neutrality Rollback Goes Into Effect
The Federal Communications Commission, FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules, which required internet service providers to offer equal access to all web content, took effect on Monday.The Obama-era net neutrality/open internet rules prohibited internet providers from charging more for certain content or from giving preferential treatment to certain websites.
After the FCC voted 3-2 along party lines to repeal the rules in December, it faced a public outcry, legal challenges from state attorneys general and public interest groups, and a push by Democratic lawmakers to overturn the decision.
The opponents argued that the repeal would open the door for service providers to censor content online or charge additional fees for better service — something that could hurt small companies — and several states have taken steps to impose the rules on a local level.
"Now, on June 11, these unnecessary and harmful internet regulations will be repealed and the bipartisan, light-touch approach that served the online world well for nearly 20 years will be restored," FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, earlier said.
"The agency failed to listen to the American public and gave short shrift to their deeply held belief that internet openness should remain the law of the land," FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel told reporters. "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people."
Trump's pick to run the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai, called the net neutrality rules "heavy-handed" and vowed to end them. His order, touted as promoting investment and broadband deployment, loosens the FCC's regulation of ISPs, and instead gives the Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction to enforce violations. Pai says this system lets the FTC focus on "the bad apples" and allows other players "thrive in a free market."
The new Trump FCC order permits ISPs to throttle, block, or be paid to prioritize certain sites or content, as long as they disclose that they are doing so.
Ajit Pai's announcement came right after a bipartisan group of Senators introduced a discharge petition, officially challenging the FCC's rollback of the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The petition will require a majority vote in the Senate and House of Representatives, along with the signature of President Donald Trump, so it has a long way to go, but the vote could take place as early as next week.
The FCC's decision was published in the Federal Register on February 22nd and as per the Congressional Review Act, the Senate had 60 days from that date to take action.
The Senate version of the bill to Ooverturning FCC's Net Neutrality rollback passed 52-47. Three Republican Senators joined their Democratic colleagues in supporting the bill – Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and John Kennedy (Louisiana) and Susan Collins (Maine).
Congressional Review Act (CRA) bills allow Congress to overturn agency decisions with majority votes in each chamber, and a signature from the president.
The legislative victory in the Senate is fleeting because the House does not intend to take similar action, but Democrats are planning to carry the political fight over internet access into the 2018 midterms. Even if it passes the House, Trump is not expected to sign.
Regardless, House democrats led by Michael F. Doyle, Democrat, U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 14th congressional district, said that he intends to launch a discharge petition in an order to force a House vote on reinstating the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) net neutrality rules – after the Senate passed a bill to overturn the repeal.
At the same press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York) called on Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) to bring the CRA to the House floor, urging Republicans to back it.
Most Republican lawmakers argue that the Obama net neutrality rules is a case of over regulation.
Across the country, state officials have moved to keep net neutrality rules in place on their turf. According to the National Council of State Legislatures, governors in six states — New Jersey, New York, Montana, Rhode Island, Vermont and Hawaii — have signed executive orders upholding net neutrality, and three – Washington, Vermont and Oregon — have enacted legislation that does so.
In January, attorneys general in 22 states and the District of Columbia filed a protective petition for review of the order.

The NFL's new extra-point rule has already affected offenses two weeks into the regular season.
In the offseason, NFL owners voted to move the extra-point kick point line further back after teams had made 99% of extra-point kicks the year before. Moving the kick to the 15-yard line turned it from a 17-yard kick to a 33-yard kick.
In doing so, the NFL hoped there would be less guarantee of making the extra point and more incentive go to for two.
The results have been positive so far. In Week 1, there were four missed extra-point attempts, putting the NFL on pace to have 70 during the season compared to eight all of last year.
Early in Week 2, we've already seen the NFL adapt to the new rule. The Pittsburgh Steelers perhaps best exemplified this by going for two on their first two touchdowns of the game, both in the first half.
The timing of the two-point attempts were surprising, too, as the Steelers are the first team this season to go for two while leading the game. In Week 1, the only teams to go for two were teams trailing by two.
Antonio Brown the first player to score on a 2pt conversion in the 1st quarter since '98.
While it's early in the season, the Steelers have opened the door for new methodologies in the NFL.
Though the math still favors PATs, teams with enough confidence in their offense could look at it pretty simply. If an explosive offensive team like the Steelers believes they can make more than 50% of their two-point attempts, then there's extra incentive to go for two. While two kicks could equal a two-point conversion or surpass it in the event of a failed two-point conversion, if the Steelers believe they can convert on back-to-back two-point conversions, they could secure four points as opposed to two.
Obviously, this won't be for every team. Teams with less potent offenses will just take the PAT and move on. Eventually, going for two will hurt a team when they miss and don't secure any extra points – going for two is still a risk.
However, the NFL was smart to revise their extra-point rules, as they've now created scenarios where legitimate scheming is needed after touchdowns. How teams work around these scenarios will be interesting to watch as teams continue to adjust to the new rules.

The owner called upon Design Unlimited for this exciting project due to our specialist knowledge of advanced lightweight materials and space saving solutions.
Baltic Yachts' specialist Service & Refit team completed the implementation of this new lightweight interior for the high speed Magnum Marine 70, Pegasus, and the boat was officially handed back to her owner on April 26th 2018 in Palma, Mallorca.
The high performance 'muscle' boat, capable of speeds in excess of 60 knots, was built by the iconic Magnum Marine in Florida in 2008 and spent six months at Baltic Yachts' Palma facility where the entire interior was replaced.
The new design began with Magnum's bare carbon structure and Design Unlimited utilised white carbon weave, white lacquer and leather to create a minimalist space that accentuated the strong, structural feel of the boat.
"The new interior had to be ultra light and be able to withstand the rigours of high speed power boating, challenges our team and that of Baltic Yachts' Service and Refit department, were well equipped to meet. We drew a lot of inspiration from the automotive industry, specifically Formula One and you can see accents of this in the finished build." – Mark Tucker, Design Unlimited.
Design Unlimited also designed the interior's composite components for production, before their manufacture at Baltic.
The new interior structure was built in Finland, where a full size mock-up was used to ensure a perfect fit. The modules were then transported to Palma for installation, where the original interior had been completely gutted and the new systems had already been linked with the existing engineering.
Managing the refit in Finland was Andreas Wiklund who remained in constant contact with Baltic Yachts' Palma facility, where Goran Svenlin oversaw the final installation. Andreas said: "This was an exciting project involving an iconic American brand and is a perfect example of how Baltic Yachts' Jakobstad headquarters can work seamlessly with the Palma base."

I'm 27 and I live with parents at the moment. I save 2k a month without fail. I have 17k loan on a car (there is no building interest, as in I won't pay more if I pay it out longer). I also have 17k loan left from a loan that I got to help my dad consolidate his credit card debts. He is paying that off and will be paid in about 2.5 years. He went from paying $600 a month in interest to significantly less.
My financial goals are to move out. The area where I live apartments go for about half a million and up for a standard 2 bedroom. Even though I intend to live alone, I still would prefer to get a 2 bedroom so I can resell easier in case I were to move for a job opportunity or such. Or even rent it down the road if I pay it off.
Right now I have my 15k of savings inside a TFSA sitting accumulating a joke of 0.4% interest. I know I can do better, but I was too afraid to risk any of it. I know nothing about stocks and I don't have a lot of time to learn it.
What would you suggest for me to do to achieve my financial goal?
One other thing to note that may be relevant, my parents rent and I'm also afraid should worst come to worst I may need to support them, in which case that 2 bedroom may become a necessity. Their pensions plans are next to none and they are getting old, so from my perspective this is inevitable. They are my parents and I'll do what I have to, but since I have time now to get ahead, how would you advise me to do so?
Lastly, I never owned a house so I would be a first time buyer and I do live in Ontario.
My financial goals are to move out.
That's not a financial goal. It's also one goal.
There must be banks with better TFSA rates.
What's the rate on your car loan?
Are you paying your parents' consolidation loan, or did you just co-sign it?
Owning is a big step, and fiscal prudence requires that you have a good-sized down payment. At least 20% (which means $100K).
live below my means (which you should be doing anyway).

Congress Must Make President Obey Constitution and Remove US Armed Forces from Libya
By Dennis J. Kucinich (Posted Jun 03, 2011)
WarUnited StatesNews
Dear Colleague:
Yesterday, NATO announced it would continue combat operations in Libya for at least another 90 days. NATO. The President went to NATO on Libya, not the U.S. Congress, as the Constitution requires. The U.S. has thus far provided 93% of the cruise missiles, 66% of the personnel, 50% of the ships and 50% of the planes at an estimated cost of up to $700 million and now NATO says the war will go another 90 days. Since when does NATO trump the Constitution of the United States? It is time, in the name of the people of the United States, that Congress insist that the President obey the Constitution and the statutes concerning war powers.
Last week, I introduced H.Con.Res.51, a bipartisan resolution that disapproves of U.S. military operations in Libya and requires the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) mission in the country within 15 days after passage. I support my colleague Rep. Turner's resolution which disapproves of U.S. military operations in Libya because I believe that it is the minimum that Congress must do to challenge the unconstitutional war in Libya. Yet as the war in Libya surpasses the 60 day mark with no end in sight, it is clear that Congress must do more than just express its disapproval.
Article 1, Section 8 provides only Congress with the ability to declare war or authorize the use of military force. The War Powers Act allows a narrow exemption from the Constitutional requirement by allowing the President to take the U.S. to war without Congressional approval in the face of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces." We have now been involved in a war on Libya for over 72 days with no constitutionally required authorization for the use of military force or declaration of war.
The President recently submitted a letter to Congress about the war in Libya arguing that he was not required to come to Congress for authorization because the war is not really a war. Really.
While we may not all agree on the merits of military intervention in Libya, we can all agree that Congress must have the opportunity to have a full and ample debate on the commitment of U.S. Armed Forces to a war abroad. This institution cannot stand by idly as a war of choice with significant ramifications for our national and economic security is waged without Congress fulfilling its responsibilities under the Constitution. We must defend the Constitution of the United States.

New Pitch Perfect 2 Trailer – Anna Kendrick & co. make a song & dance about it
Things are getting patriotic and a lot of fun in the new trailer for Pitch Perfect 2, which suggests this may be just as entertaining as the first movie, which became a surprise hit in 2012.
The stakes are raised in the sequel with Anna Kendrick and co. heading off to the world a cappella championships – which seem far bigger and more rock 'n' roll that you might expect. It's also great to see Rebel Wilson's Fat Amy back in action, and it looks like she'll be just as entertaining this time around.
Along with returning stars such as Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks, Hailee Steinfeld joins the ranks, with the actress said to have come on board in preparation with a possible Pitch Perfect 3.
The movie will be in cinemas May 15th.

The Third Spiritual Alphabet
The author, Francisco de Osuna, was born in 1492, in the town of Osuna in southern Spain. His family was in the service of a count. At the age of eighteen, he was attracted to the priesthood. After three years of study, he entered a Franciscan monastery. His life was largely dedicated to prayer and meditation. Books were becoming very popular because of the proliferation of printing presses in Spain. The New Testament was available in the common language. The religious atmosphere in Spain was full of leaders and their writings concerning spiritual growth for individuals.
Osuna wrote six books entitled alphabets. The first three were based on the Spanish alphabet, as instruction for spiritual growth. The Third Spiritual Alphabet is the most influential. Its popularity is confirmed by its number of editions, which was at least seven. The great Spanish mystic, Teresa of Avila noted that Osuna's third work was her primary guide for prayer.
This is the longest book I have encountered to date, at over 600 pages. It is organized into twenty two treatises. Osuna offers many quotes from scripture and from the saints of the church. Some of his biblical examples seem to be a stretch for proving a particular point. Like many other spiritual writers, Osuna includes discussions of passions and cardinal virtues.
Our devotion to God begins with our thoughts about God. Osuna believed that if the visible world and created things could influence us to love God as we contemplated them, then the life of Christ "his Sacred Humanity overwhelms us to love…" He speaks about the gift of faith from God. He tells us that this gift is helpful for our spiritual exercises, "Those who examine the gift and look for profitable spiritual exercises will accomplish more and more." In other words, our faith and spiritual life will accomplish more and more as we continue spiritual exercises.
God waits for those who are seeking. Osuna says "Think how he [God] will welcome the just person who diligently and continuously searches for him." Osuna tells us that meditating on God is the first theology and "The first theology teaches about God so that we can meditate on him…" Devotion "awakens our love." It makes us more intimate with God. He said "I think it best to search for him in our hearts." He quotes scripture as, "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Our primary goal should be to seek God, as Osuna says, "Inasmuch as our lives are to be directed to no other end than seeking God."
Osuna promotes the devotional practice he calls Recollection. It represents a focusing and directing of the mind. It includes "Remembering God through his wonders, excellent works, and admirable judgments." "In recollection we will know God not by the understanding but in love, for love enters where the intellect cannot." This is pre-enlightenment thinking, for it promotes feelings and openness, more than intellectual analysis. "We should practice recollection, imitating Our Lord Jesus who went alone into the desert to pray secretly and spiritually. Recollection is prayer: It includes vocal prayer… mental prayer… and passive prayer." Osuna directs "Three main things are necessary for quiet, recollected contemplation… place, detached, reverent." He teaches that ideally we need a sacred space where we be separated from distractions, and that we come with a reverent spirit. "If you hush all sounds and occupations and retire alone and remain in solitude in order to fall asleep, casting off all worldly cares, you must do the same for prayer, turning totally to spiritual matters."
There is a warning about the problem of distractions during our meditations. Osuna said "Distractions can be from our five senses, passions of the heart (joy, hope, fear, and grief), memory, physical condition. One technique for reducing distractions is to find a key word for distraction: "After you feel distracted by a thought, say something like: "Where have you flown to, my soul?" This calls the devotee back to focused meditation. Osuna related a concept similar to that of Brother Lawrence. He teaches that devotion and God's presence can occur continuously in our lives, even throughout the day. He says "Experienced people are just as recollected and occupied in God while doing manual chores around the house as are beginners kneeling in a secluded spot."
All people are invited to seek God. We are to use all effective methods for our devotions. Osuna directs "Given the wide variety of people who undertake to seek God… diverse kinds of seeking… through humility and poverty… study sacred scripture… in prayer and offering… on pilgrimages…" should be used. He particularly emphasizes that "Sacred scripture offers us the greatest opportunity for drawing our love."
We are called to be thankful during our devotional exercises. Osuna gives the example that "If you hoard the gifts and do not thank God, you will be like a bad river that does not return to the sea…" We are to be thankful every day. "Do not let a day slip by without considering God's favors; praise and exalt his generosity…" But not only are we to be thankful for blessings. "We should always thank God for everything that happens to us, not only for what we consider good." Our faithfulness in devotion and in good works will be welcomed and appreciated by God. He says "By doing things which you really can do, His Majesty will know that you would like to do many more."
I was very pleased with the teachings of Francisco de Osuna. He did not overtly offer the teachings of mystical union. Many of his teachings were applicable to beginners who are seeking to grow in devotion to God. I found the text easy to read and the guidance of The Third Spiritual Alphabet to be more useful for personal devotional practices than many other works.
