TIMETRAVEL_0, The new film release narrated by Kurt Kelly. The story of John Titor. He made statements about the future of mankind and our destiny, stating that we need to change some of the ways we live our lives.

Most of the footage you will see in this film, Timetravel_0 was shot back in 2000-2001, before it was confiscated by government officials. They were interested in finding out more about a man named John Titor, who showed up online in chat rooms, claiming to be from the year 2036. He made statements about the future of mankind and our destiny, stating that we need to change some of the ways we live our lives. If not, he said we are headed for a nuclear war involving North Korea, Iran, and the US. In saying this, he created a following of believers that span the globe.
In 2001 he vanished, never to be heard from again. In November of 2000, Cris McCarthywas in pursuit of the truth surrounding John Titor. What she found was more than she could have ever imagined possible. Was John just a piece to a larger puzzle that would soon unfold to mankind? Learn the truth behind the man that was Time travel_0. Cris McCarthy started it as a project to learn about the mystery that was John Titor. Why people were so convinced that he was a real time traveler. As she looked into the possibility of time travel and the message John was spilling out into the world she became all too aware of the validity of the man she was in search of in Timetravel_0.
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein responding to Kurt Kelly
Dear Mr. Kelly:
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for the inclusion of a public health care option in health care reform legislation. I am committed to enacting meaningful reform to expand access to the health care system.
I am delighted that you support healthcare reform, as do I. The key is to find a healthcare plan that provides coverage, as well as limits costs. My colleagues in the Senate and I have been working on this, but it is a difficult issue and must be carefully thought out. I hope that the Senate Finance Committee will propose a bill which will lay out a way in which we can accomplish these goals and can be effectively merged with the bill passed by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Other health reforms are also necessary. I strongly believe that any healthcare reform legislation should prohibit coverage denial based on preexisting conditions. Reducing healthcare costs is absolutely essential. Between 2000 and 2007, combined profits for 10 of the country's largest publically traded insurance companies rose 428 percent. I believe that a way to control those costs is by instituting a public option, a nonprofit cooperative model, or a regulatory authority to achieve this. I am also concerned about the astronomical growth of entitlement spending, which makes up 56 percent of all federal dollars spent in 2009. Health reform must bend the healthcare cost curve, slowing the growth of entitlements in order to reduce our nation's debt and budget deficit.
Any Senate health reform bill must improve California's complex health care system, and please know that I am working hard with my colleagues to make health care affordable for all Americans, without adding to the federal deficit.
Again, thank you for writing. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein United States Senator

No rush --- would love to hear how your iPod challenge results turn out???
Welcome to the continuation of the iPod Song (shuffle mode) Challenge --- started by Paul Manzella --- WHAT does YOUR random list of songs look like?????
At first I found this challenging because I haven't fallen into the "Gen X, Y or Z" crowd to get an iPod! Then avoiding this task for 5 days, it struck me; it's not so much about the iPod! What would that random list look like, so here's a whirl:
Here are Kurt's random [non-iPod] shuffle mode results ----
My list came from the iPod in my head, complete with links to www.youtube.com so you can download any of these favorites complete with video to your "pod"! While you are there, take a spin buy www.youtube.com/kurtkelly1 and see the latest on my channel. Just don't watch these [or any other] downloads while running or driving, it might really "rock your world [and everyone around you]"! So for the "pod-er's" out there; and you know who you are, so "what's your shuffle, give it up and then pass it on"?!

125-Word Synopsis
Cris McCarthy has put together this amazing documentary, and it has taken her over 5 years to complete....mainly because her footage was confiscated by the CIA, and just recently released by the Supreme Court, due to a 'fictionalized creation' clause. Cris was able to track down people that had some conversations with John Titor, including one of the first people to talk with him, and believe what he was saying. She in turn helped Chris make contact with John Titor. Not long after she had started to chat with John Titor, Cris McCarthy is questioned by authorities. That’s when she fell head first into the rabbit hole that is John Titor.

250-Word Synopsis
Cris started talking with Quantum Theory Professors, and Physics, discussing the possibilities of time traveling. Not long after she had gotten to chat with John Titor .., Cris McCarthy is questioned by authorities.... We are not going to spoil the rest of the Documentary, but we will say this, our production company and editors were shocked by the footage that was discovered on the last few tapes............It will take the destruction of millions upon millions of Human Lives, for us to be able to overlook some of the ridiculous obstacles that we have created for ourselves, such as...Racism, Religious Persecution, Materialism, Greed, and Power...!
Our all-out push for real health care reform continues—we can’t afford for Congress to wait any longer.
We need to fix our broken health care system with a reform bill that provides a quality public health insurance option, calls on employers to pay their fair share and doesn’t ask workers to pay more for what they already have.
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. The time is now, and we need a few minutes of your time today to make sure Congress acts now. Call on your representative to support real health care reform today.
Call your representative toll freetoday: 1-877-702-0976
Across the country as a part of a nationwide call-in day, tens of thousands of activists like you are calling their representatives demanding real health care reform with the following three conditions:
A quality public health insurance option.
Requirements that all employers pay their fair share.
No taxation of workers’ benefits.
This is a historic opportunity to fix our broken health care system, and we need every member of Congress to understand this. Working together, we can make sure everyone in America has access to quality, affordable health care.
Call and tell your representative to support real health care reform: 1-877-702-0976
It’s absolutely critical that you call today. Insurance company lobbyists and the Chamber of Commerce are doing everything they can to slow down the process and ultimately kill reform. Don’t let them block reform. The time for waiting is done. We want quality and accessible health care for all NOW. Call your representative today.
In solidarity,
Marc Laitin AFL-CIO Online Mobilization Coordinator
P.S. We voted for change last November. Now it’s time for Congress to deliver real health care reform. Call your representative today: 1-877-702-0976
What are you worth? The very question in itself has so many meanings, however it is one that eventually we all must face at least on some level. If we work for an employer, most let the employer set the wage. If we are self employed, then hopefully we are setting the wage. Marc Cashman sent me this letter that is worth sharing and thinking about before you take your next job, or assignment!
I thought I'd share a letter from veteran voice actor and respected colleague
who shall remain anonymous.
Feel free to pass this on to your colleagues as well.
With the economy in free fall, I'm sure you've been approached by folks wanting discounts and special rates. I have. And, on occasion, I have agreed. But recently a studio sent me an outline for a new service they're initiating. Some of you may have gotten it as well. Basically, it sets up a new tier of talent - listed under an alias or pseudonym - at a lower rate, all buyout and not offering product exclusivity in a market. The idea is going after budget-minded clients, small agencies or businesses or agencies that don't want the hassle of working out usage rates.While I feel somewhat like Jerry McGuire, I felt I needed to respond with more than "No, thanks."My answer is below.
While I understand the rationale behind this program, I cannot participate for the following reasons:
·Working under an alias defeats what I’ve been doing for the last 25 years; that is, building a name and reputation. I consider myself a professional and if I can’t put my name with my product, it demeans that professional status and cheapens the value of that product. Also, since I have been in the business for so long, an alias is little protection from being recognized as talent on a spot. While some smaller clients may not be concerned about exclusivity, there are plenty of clients who are and get extremely pissed if I voice for a competitor in the same market.
·The exclusivity question also strikes me at a personal level and can be summed up in one word – loyalty. I’m not usually one to pontificate but, as an aging Boy Scout, I am proud of the fact that I have scruples. I believe in “dancin’ with the one that brung ya.” Client, studio and agency relationships will always come and go, but as long as I’m treated fairly and honestly, you’ll get the same from me.
·Along those same professional lines, lowering the rates is also a bit of a slap in the face.If current rates were excessive, there might be some justification. The rates I charge personally and those set by the majority of the studios I work with are in no way excessive and in most cases well below SAG/AFTRA rates. If a client has multiple spots or is doing pro bono work, I have been and will always be willing to offer discounts. But for day-to-day clients and agencies my rates are reasonable; rates, by the way, that haven’t gone up in four years. There aren’t many other small businesses that can make that claim.
·I don’t do buyouts. It’s all to do with product use. My voice is my product. If you use it, you pay for it according to a usage schedule that is older than I am. If figuring out a 13-week buy is too difficult for folks in today’s ad agencies, they should have paid closer attention in class…or found another business that isn’t so mentally taxing.
·Even if I were interested in taking part in this endeavor, is there any guarantee that it would merely be temporary until the economy gets going again? At what point would you start charging normal rates? I’d wager it would be difficult to get “budget minded” folks to adjust upwards when that time arrives.
·Finally, the idea that I should take a pay cut to help struggling small businesses has one major flaw: I’m a small business; smaller even than the smallest agency, car dealer or fast food conglomerate. I am already supporting agencies, studios and production houses by waiting 60, 90 and yes, 120 days to be paid. This isn’t a complaint – well, not a big one – because I’m shivering in the same cold economic climate, and I understand the trickle-down nature of the business. But unlike agencies, studios and production houses, as a sole proprietor, banks (already very stingy) aren’t anxious to make me a small business loan. And, unfortunately, the power company, the grocery store, the mortgage company, the college tuition program and Uncle Sam don’t like to wait 60, 90 or 120 days. I rely solely on agencies, studios and production houses to pay me in a timely manner and at a fair and equitable rate.
·I do heartily endorse your payment plan. Net in 10 for the talent is a great idea whose time should have come long ago. I hope the clients who opt for this service will consider doing the same for all projects. I reiterate – the grocery store wants to be paid now.
I applaud your initiative, but disagree with the method. There have always been economic downturns and always will be. I feel lowering rates and, in particular, lowering exclusivity standards can help only in the short term. Perhaps this is something rookie V-O talent could use to get a toe in the door. I wish them luck, though in the long run, it may do them a disservice.
