Sanctuary For Kids (S4K)

Help Haiti!

Sanctuary For Kids or S4K as it is also known as is a not for profit charity founded by Sanctuary and Stargate alumni Amanda Tapping and Damian Kindler and Jill Bodie. They aim to help children that are in poor areas and can't get food, medical care and/or education. They have forked in the money for the administrative cost so all of the donations go right to where they are needed You can leave a comment when donating where and/or how you'd prefer your donation to aid.

Right now all donations goes to help in Haiti after that horrendous earthquake that hit mainly their capital Port-au-Prince and other surrounding cities and areas this 12th of January. They will pass the money over to Save The Children. The unique thing about donating to S4K is that up until February the 12th all donations made to S4K, is that whatever you donate the Canadian government will match. So if you donate say 10$ CAD, Canada will donate 10$ CAD. Making your donation = 20$ CAD essentially.

I have so far since the start of S4K donated 20$ CAD to this and will continue donating as I can.

I suggest you do the same. The kids in Haiti needs you now more than ever!

Conan The Barbarian Movie

There is a new Conan The Barbarian movie in the works. From what I understand it's a remake but that's fine with me. I used to read Conan a lot as a kid and even made a sort of school report on the subject. 

In this light Jason Momoa, better known as Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis, has been cast as Conan. Good choice. He's tall and has the right physique and demeanor for the part (sure he should bulk up a little to match what I expect from him reading the comics). But I'm pleased he beat out Twiglet (read:Twillight) actor Kellen Lutz for it.
