In reality you should take every Chuck Norris joke and substitute Chuck's name with Danny Way's. No offense to Chuck but Danny has actually accomplished things in real life that are worthy of this honor. "Why did Danny Way jump the Great Wall of China? To get to the other side.". Danny out toughs Chuck any day and he's not acting. Photo by Jason Chapman Those of you not familiar with Danny Way need to know that Danny has broken world records, been a partial owner in one of the biggest shoe companies in the world (DC Shoe Co.) and currently owns Plan B Skateboards. He has been a pro skateboarder, motor crosser and snowboarder. He has recovered from a serious spinal injury and still keeps pushing because of his serious drive to progress. A large majority of skate progression has been lead by Danny Way. He pushed street style tricks on vert and tested how big you can actually go on street. He also gave skateboarding a unique gift of terrifying insanity by introducing the world to Mega Ramp skating. Now that we have established that Danny is an amazing and original skateboarding trail blazer, lets get to the movie, Waiting for Lightning. This documentary has the difficult job of telling you how Danny Way became Danny Way. Through the victories and extreme hardships he has experienced in his life, all in just two short hours. Surprisingly to me, the film's anchor point is the jump over the Great Wall of China. I always thought of this as just another notch in Danny's belt. One of the many, many, many things he has accomplished in his life. The film flashes back and forth from his childhood and early career to the Great Wall ramp construction, planning and the eventually the jump which was witnessed live on television by millions of people live on Chinese television. Using the wall jump as an anchor point was actually a great concept. It did the jump justice and let you know just how difficult it was on all levels. To honor this historic jump, the country of China inscribed Danny's name in gold on the wall! This is an honor only a few in history will ever possess. The glimpse into Danny's childhood was heartbreaking. The tragic death of his father and troubled family life shaped his unflinching character. This early strife was a seemingly necessary evil that Danny had to endure to give him the un wavering determination that ultimately catapulted Danny to greatness. Through this film's sharing of those experiences the viewer realizes that despite being a legendary skateboarder, Danny is still a human being that has suffered hardship and loss not just the facade of glitz and glamourous lifestyle of the professional skateboarder's seen on MTV. Being a huge fan of Danny I have seen all the helicopter bomb drops and Great Wall jumps and Plan B parts but I was really looking for a little bit of business Danny. For instance how he took the rains at Plan B and re established the brand as one of skateboarding's biggest and brightest. His successes in the tough business of skateboarding are equally impressive as some of his tricks on a skateboard. The film doesn't touch on this at all but was still very satisfying on every other level. If you grew up watching Danny innovate in the old H Street videos or saw Danny land a 900 in Santa Cruz's Risk It video you will love this film. Im sure if you are new to Danny, you will find it just as interesting. Waiting for Lightning is directed by Jake Rosenburg who I believe made a Think (Brand of Skateboard) video in the 1990's. Needless to say he has come a long way. For a documentary this film looks great and the editing and over all feel of the picture are top notch. Go see the film in a movie theater if possible and show Danny and Jake some love they did a fantastic job!

Air Jordan Spizike New York Knicks Orange,, THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair says he's "very open" to the Harper government's proposed Canada European Union trade deal as long as concerns in areas such as prescription drug prices and public sector procurement are addressed. Mulcair said the NDP will view the accord, if it is reached, through a far different lens than the Canada China investment protection agreement that his party vehemently opposed. He said that Europe, unlike China, has laws on human rights, the environment and labour practices that are at least as advanced as Canada's. "You're looking at 500 million people (in the EU) who evolve in a similar universe as ourselves," he told The Vancouver Sun. "So we're very open to it, but we're going to look at it critically." Mulcair's comments risk drawing the wrath of labour, environmental and left wing nationalist groups that have vehemently opposed free trade deals. NDP leader Adrian Dix who earlier this week openly disagreed with Mulcair on national unity. But Mulcair is attempting to make his party once viewed as a left wing protest movement more attractive to a broader cross section of Canadians, including some who believe the NDP is too tightly aligned with groups hostile to the private sector. Mulcair, in an interview where artwork on the walls and tables pays homage to former NDP leaders Tommy Douglas and Jack Layton, noted that he can't comment in any detail on an agreement that is still in the final stages of negotiation and therefore not public. In addition to concerns about drug prices and government procurement, Mulcair said the NDP will also weigh whether the trade deal will have an overall negative impact. Free Trade Agreement was stuck "you've seen a drop in the revenue of the middle class in Canada," he said. "The top 20 per cent have seen their revenues increase, the other 80 per cent have actually seen a drop. "So that's a part of the analysis that's always going to have to be done. Free Trade Agreement and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. The party's long standing position led to an allegation last October by International Trade Minister Ed Fast, the MP for Abbotsford, that the party is a leading member of Canada's "great free trade denier" movement. Mulcair stressed that, like Dix, he has significant concerns in areas such as prescription drugs and procurement. The EU, on behalf of major European multinational corporations, wants greater patent protection for brand name drugs and a greater ability for companies to bid on contracts let by provincial and municipal governments and public institutions like hospitals, school boards, and utilities. Dix, among other critics, has regularly cited a 2011 academic study sponsored by the generic drug industry which said Canadians would pay an extra $2.8 billion annually if Europe's demands are met. Mulcair said the Harper government could easily resolve this concern. "That's the easiest one for the federal government to fix, if ever they wanted to move in that direction, because they could compensate the provinces for the loss." Mulcair's messaging on trade is part of a broader strategy, evident since he became leader last spring, to squeeze out the centrist Liberal party and give the NDP a shot at forming government in 2015. Mulcair focuses largely on economic issues in question period and has personally avoided potentially controversial "protest" events, from the Quebec student protests last year to Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence's liquid only fast. He cited as an example unflattering video footage of Quebec separatist Premier Pauline Marois, when she was official Opposition leader, banging two kitchen pot lids together last year during the so called "casserole" protests in support of students upset about tuition hikes. "I think people are expecting someone who sees themselves as the leader of a government in waiting to understand the issues, to speak passionately about them, to work with his MPs to make sure that these issues are understood by the public, but to stay with the same image which is actually a physical example to not necessarily the one banging casseroles." The NDP has caused some angst among left wing groups for not simply coming out and opposing Canada EU free trade. Party insiders recognize the NDP could lose longtime supporters and not necessarily gain voters elsewhere by endorsing free trade. Mulcair repeats like a mantra his goal of convincing Canadians the federal NDP is capable of providing "good, competent public administration," and last month brought provincial NDP leaders including the premiers of Nova Scotia and Manitoba to Ottawa to underscore that point. The NDP's breakthrough election in 2011, he said, needs to follow through with a major effort to convince Canadians the party is competent. He said a key asset will be MPs like Vancouver Island lawyer Murray Rankin, recently elected in the byelection in Victoria. The bilingual Rankin, according to Mulcair, has a "phenomenal" background as an environmental lawyer and law professor.
Buy Cheap Air Jordan Spizike New York Knicks Orange,Air Jordan 5Lab3 Black WHY WE NEED DEFLATION (The Winter is a Season of both Death and, later, Regeneration) It didn have to be this way. The big mistake, in my view, came when the Fed condoned the equity bubble in the late 1990s. It has been playing post bubble defense ever since, fostering an unusually low real interest rate climate that has led to one bubble after another. And that has given rise to the real monster the asset dependent American consumer and a co dependent global economy that can live without excess US consumption. The real test was always the exit strategy." Stephen Roach, Test is a necessary season in the economic cycle. Deflation is the necessary contraction phase, and helps to balance the excesses fueled by the principles and energies of expansion. Deflation modifies prices that have escalated during the expansion phase of the cycle. These two forces Inflation and Deflation work together, as Day and Night work together, as Man and Woman work together. They only appear to be adversaries. Their adversarial relationship like the relationship of Republican and Democrat creates, in fact, a unity of motion. Centrifugal motion pushes energy outward from the center of a system; centripetal motion pulls energy from the periphery back to the center. government had been telling the American citizen for several decades now that there is no inflation in the American economy. Of course, Americans know this isn true. Oil prices rose from $15/barrel to $150/barrel in twenty years. Housing prices jumped 150 500% is three years, after averaging an appreciation of 2.5% per year over a century. Health care costs explode year after year, averaging 9.5% growth, year over year for the last decade. The cost of college tuition has gone up by almost 1000% in thirty years. And we are told that there is no inflation. It finally became clear to me, after years of musing on this phenomenon, that, there is no inflation, according to government statistics, as long as there is no wage inflation. And there has been little wage inflation that is true. As long as wages stay low and do not chase the escalating costs of goods and services and this is almost possible if the cost of credit stays low then the inflation spiral is muted. Of course, the consumer, in this scenario, becomes more and more indebted through this method of paying for myriad inflationary goods and materials. Apparently there is no moral dilemma in this. Business profits grow, wages remain low, and workers take on more and more debt. It sounds to me like a volcano that is bound to blow. But what do I know? I not an economist. Sometimes logic is only logic for those not sophisticated enough to know the difference between appearance and reality. Of course, consumers were able to offset stagnant wage growth in the last few decades because of the impressive stock market gains (the first bubble to pop). The stock market became a second source of income for American consumers, to help pay for ever increasing costs, children education, first, second or even third homes. But then the stock market flattened out after 2001, moving sideways for a few years, eliminating wall street as a guaranteed source of secondary income. Consumers were then forced to borrow against the equity of their homes, as the housing bubble took hold via Mister Greenspan steady hand once the stock market bubble played out. Of course, the housing bubble, again, increased American consumers indebtedness forcing them to essentially withdraw savings from their own mortgage equity in order to pay for the rising costs of health services, food, transportation, energy, education. As long as home prices continued to soar, the system seemed fine. Refinancing meant Americans could continue to draw on their increasing real estate wealth. Of course, this paper wealth was being fueled by a dubious policy of serial bubble creation that cheapened real money and turned millions of Americans (and world citizens as well) into credit slaves and credit junkies. Presidents who were laying the groundwork for the destruction of America and Europe, and all the other nations of the world that could not wait to jump on this miraculous bandwagon of capitalism. Charts of debt accumulation by American consumers shows pretty clearly that phantom inflation of prices was accumulating on American credit card accounts. Another way in which Americans sought to keep up with the accelerating cost of living was to have both parents working. Of course, women liberation doctrine called upon women to pursue careers in the real world and diminished the role of women as home makers and child rearers. But most Americans were not influenced by this radical ideology of gender equality. Most Americans were influenced by the need for two incomes to try to keep up with escalating prices. There was, of course, a dramatic and negative reaction in the society to this of the American family. Divorce became the norm, drug use accelerated, crime increased, delinquency became pandemic. Many readers will argue that America is the greatest country in the world, the richest, the freest. But something is wrong in America. We are building prisons are a rapid (inflationary) rate. The number of incarcerated Americans has increased 960% since 1950. Two in three marriages fail. Our children are taking guns to schools and shooting fellow students. Everything is not right in America. More cheerleading of America, more honoring of Donald Trump as a hero (and many other entrepreneurs), more government out of business slogans will not address America social decline. Much of this decline of the family comes from the inflation of costs of materials and services in the American economy, bubbles created by Mister Greenspan for the sake of corporate profit and corporate expansion and the resultant extraction of women out of the homes to chase wages in order to salvage the families economic integrity. Loans, second and third jobs, refinancing of mortgages, dependence upon an inflated stock market, credit card abuse led to a consumer that was overextended and susceptible to bankruptcy should any of these currents of equity dry up suddenly. Now, it seems, every current of emergency money has begun to dry up at the same time. With the saving rate at historic lows, most Americans are one or two paychecks away from bankruptcy and a life on the streets as a homeless statistic. Republicans make icons of the concepts of individualism and national patriotism. Democrats sing the praise of the so called international community. To Republicans, the ideal of Globalism and we should not forget this was and is tied to the goal, in American if less so in Europe, of controlling business costs by driving down wage demands through the destruction of the power of Western labor unions. was a positive spin word for maximizing profits by exporting high wage jobs to third world countries, first Mexico and South America, and then to Asia, transforming these high wage jobs to low wage jobs, without benefits. The corollary piece of this puzzle was to maintain the First World role and even duty (and I use this word with care) to consume manufactured goods as a means of helping to sustain international economies, despite decreasing wages, but through cheap credit. It was the duty of Western nation citizens to consume globally produced goods in order to sustain the Western way of life, with its high standard of living, despite the fact that living thus drove the Western consumer toward a condition of credit serfdom in modern, plastic society. No one thought much about debt. As long as matter expanded, and the future was bright, everything would be fine. And wouldn matter always expand? Of course this was good for business. Sometimes, what good for business is not good for American citizens. The idea, which has controlled America since 1982, has run its course. We are beginning to see the underside of this doctrine. The system is very good for the owners of businesses but it is not so good for the workers. Sometimes what is good for American business is not good for citizens of the world. Walmart has a dismal record all over the world for abusing its workers through low wages and insubstantial or no benefits. In China, Honduras, Sri Lanka, and other countries, workers are required to work long hours (8AM to 10PM), 7 days a week, 365 days a year for less than $3 a day. Walmart store costs $14.96 but only costs Walmart 18 cents to manufacture, because of its mistreatment of workers in China. This is immoral. This is un Christian. Walmart shames every American citizen by exporting such shameless behavior in the name of American Capitalism. American business is supposed to be showing the world the right way to do business, not generating hatred and bad feeling in the name of American Exploitation. Walmart is also notorious for its shark like business plan designed to destroy local small businesses competitors in towns all over America, and all over the world, through an enforced low price merchandise built on the backs of low wages and and poor or nonexistent benefits for Walmart workers. This lack of conscience and human exploitation is not a legal right; and it should be corrected through government legislation. This is an example of why and how the government must legislate business. Business will not do the right thing by its workers unless it is forced to do so by the weight of the law. A government that refuses or is unable to protect its working class from plantation capitalism will fall to a revolution. It is in the best interest of all classes in a society to support fair and honorable treatment of all of its citizens. Generally speaking, the rich get rich by cheating and stealing. We should not forget this. Money is not the root of all evil; but the love of money is the root of all evil. Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world; and he has given more than 50% of his wealth to charitable organizations. The Walton family (Walmart owners) are perhaps the richest family in the world; and they have given less than 1% of their wealth to charitable organizations. A famous American shoe company that makes a designer sneaker could export all production jobs to Asia, pay relatively unskilled workers about $2.25 a day to manufacture these sneakers, export the shoes back to American, European or Japanese markets for pretty impressive profits. The production cost per shoe might be $3 a pair in Vietnam (labor and material) and might sell for $250.00 in First World markets. That a pretty impressive mark up. Now, one argument companies might make as the logic of exporting jobs to low cost markets is this: a company able to make shoes (or any product) much more cheaply through foreign production, could lower domestic costs of the manufactured goods. This does make sense logically. But that not how it has worked. Business has been able to win on both ends, with both decreased costs and with increased profits. Why? Because consumers have tended to view credit as money in their pockets instead of a hand cuff on their wrists. (In fact, it much closer to the latter than it is to the former.) Air Jordan Spizike New York Knicks Orange Snoring is caused by a narrowing of the airway, according to the Help Guide website. This might be because of abnormalities of the soft tissues in the throat or a poor sleep posture. Other causes include nasal and sinus problems, being overweight, age, alcohol, medication, smoking and the way you are built. Because men have narrower air passages than women, they are more likely to snore. Some types of snoring are an indication of a serious problem, such as snoring heavily and being tired during the day, falling asleep at inappropriate times and if during sleep the snorer stops breathing, chokes or gasps. The CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a machine designed to keep your airway open during sleep by blowing pressurized air into a mask worn over the face or nose. Air pressure is increased in the throat so the airway does not collapse. According to WebMD, this therapy is for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is the result of blocked airflow during sleep. The CPAP is the most effective nonsurgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Doctors use this type of therapy to treat people who have moderate to severe sleep apnea.
