Faulty Thinking | Our Daily Bread: Four people—a pilot, a professor, a pastor, and a hiker—were flying in a small plane when the engines died. The pilot said, “There are only three parachutes. Since this is my plane, I’m taking one of them.” He put it on and jumped out. The professor said, “I’m brilliant and the world needs me, so I’m taking a parachute,” and he jumped out.
Then the pastor told the hiker, “I don’t want to be selfish, so you take the last parachute.” The hiker replied, “There are still two left, so we can each have one. The professor jumped out with my backpack instead of the parachute!” Though the professor thought he would land safely, his assurance was based on faulty thinking.

What does accessibility mean to you? It’s more than just curb cuts and ramps. The sidewalk width and grade, or shop entrance and aisle widths can make a huge difference. Is a bathroom really accessible if it fits a wheelchair yet has no automatic door opener? Good lighting, easily defined steps, and smooth pavements all add to how easily and safely a person moves around their neighbourhood.John Branyan - The Three Little Pigs - YouTube: Ever wondered what "The Three Little Pigs" would sound like if it had been written with a more classic, robust command of the English language? John shows you in this very funny stand-up bit.

BLOORED LIFE / LIFE BLOORED [hq] - YouTube: Life Bloored, I Duct taped a camera to my electric wheelchair, a very fast drive - My name is Adam Cohoon I am 24 years old. I moved to Toronto around five years ago. I live on Bloor Street in the Annex. I was born with cerebral palsy. I use an electric wheelchair to get around the city.
My short video is a sped up trip of my favourite strolling route through my neighbourhood. The route goes from my apartment building along Bloor to Bathurst then back along the other side of Bloor Street. All at an accelerated speed to turn a half an hour journey into a video of just a few minutes.
The video captures the route from my view I enjoy this route but the neighbourhood is not totally wheelchair accessible there some shops that has steps in order to get into them. Some of the curbs in the neighbourhood are steep too.
The video is also about how this neighbourhood has really influenced my love of the arts, whether it is visual, music, film or video. I have really come to enjoy them. I am constantly exposed to them right in my area and just grew to really appreciate them.
In the video I also add my sense of humour. Throughout - arcohoon@hotmail.com

Online Consultation on Television Services - Welcome �: "To learn more and to share your thoughts, please select a topic from the navigation bar on the left side of this page.
The TV industry is transforming like never before – more channels, more ways to access TV shows, more competition, new technologies and challenging economic times. These factors are influencing your programming choices, expectations and viewing habits.
The CRTC is looking at whether it should change its regulation to allow the industry to adapt so that Canadians can benefit from the broadcasting system. Among the different options under consideration, we are studying whether local television stations should be able to charge cable and satellite companies for distributing their programs. Cable and satellite companies do not currently pay a fee for local TV signals and must distribute them as part of their basic service."
-- ARC23 - http://arcnwsptr.blogspot.com --
InsideTheCBC.com � The CRTC Wants to Hear From You: "As part of the ongoing deliberations around the fee-for-carriage hearings, the CRTC is asking for comments from Canadians on the affordability of local TV, access to local programming and other issues.
To this end the CRTC has set up a web site where you can submit your views. The comments will form part of the public record on the issue and some of them will be included in a special report for the government."

Expand the Flight | Aviva Community Fund: "Laser Eagles is a successful Art Guild located in South Etobicoke. Ten artist with physical limitations create art with the support of facilitators called trackers. These trackers hold the brush and paint while the artist tells them what the picture should look like. Since many of the artists cannot speak or use their hands, the relationship between artist and tracker is unique, empowering and transformative!
Our idea is to expand Laser Eagles and make it available to people everywhere in Toronto."
